Huangfu Song's camp was still at the entrance of the Peach Blossom Ridge, waiting for news from the Yang Lin Cavalry in the north. When it first started, Huangfu Song was calmly waiting. He felt that the xanthopanax was already spent, and could not create any big waves.

But three days had passed and no news from the cavalry of Youzhou had come, which inevitably made him a little anxious. On the surface, he still calmly supervised the soldiers' training, but from time to time, he would send out her exorcism to look for information.

"Lord General, let's go back to the Guangzong City and wait there. Why would there be a need to stay here? Furthermore, we are running out of food. It would be troublesome to transport them. "

After eating dinner, Yuan Shao was bored, so when he was chatting with Huangfu Song, he suddenly said this. Actually, he had wanted to leave a long time ago. To live in a place like this, there was no village, no store, and not even a place for entertainment. For a young master like him, facing a withered mountain every day was too much of a pain.

That's right, Lord General, I don't know where Zhang Bao went, but let Yang Lin chase after them. We will guard here, but he won't come out.

Yuan Shu supported Yuan Shao with all his might. The two brothers had the same thoughts, and Yuan Shu was even more bored than Yuan Shao. Seeing that the xanthopanax was about to be annihilated, and that he was actually guarding this meaningless place, he decided to go to the Guangzong instead.

"Where do you think Zhang Bao will leave the Peach Blossom Ridge?"

Huangfu Song did not listen to their complaints, but suddenly asked. At any time, Huangfu Song would still treat the destruction of the xanthopanax as a top priority. If Zhang Bao did not eliminate the xanthopanax, his mission would not be completed.

"Zhang Bao is definitely heading towards the north. Once he reaches the Youzhou, he will be able to go all out. If the imperial officials could catch up to Youzhou, he might even be able to run to the desert. At that time, we really wouldn't be able to do anything about him. "

Yuan Shao looked at Huangfu Song and expressed his thoughts. At the beginning, Huangfu Song thought so too. Once they reached the Youzhou, the leeway for the xanthopanax s to turn around would be even greater, he could even run all the way to the Gaoguanli s, Triple Korea s, etc.

"I think it's impossible for Zhang Bao to go to Youzhou. Zhang Bao's more than two hundred thousand xanthopanax s were mostly just foot soldiers. Even after arriving in Youzhou, with Yang Lin's cavalry, it would be very difficult for him to stay in the Youzhou. Even if he wanted to escape to the Gaoguanli, Triple Korea and other places, he would have to go through a long journey. He would definitely not be able to escape being pursued by the cavalry, thus, Zhang Bao would definitely not go to the Youzhou. "

Huangfu Song denied his own thoughts, he stood up and paced back and forth inside the tent, frowning. He felt that he had misjudged, and should not have ordered Yang Lin to chase after the xanthopanax to the north.

"I think Zhang Bao will definitely head west and become a bandit in the Five Elements Mountain. "In such a big Five Elements Mountain, the tens of thousands of government troops simply cannot enter the mountains and annihilate them."

Yuan Shu thought, and said to Huangfu Song. Many of the remnants of the xanthopanax who had already been exterminated had ran up the mountain to act as bandits. The imperial government did not take those bandits seriously at all.

"This idea makes sense. If Zhang Bao wanted to protect himself, he would definitely go to the Five Elements Mountain, which is densely populated. Let alone the tens of thousands of government officials, even if he were to add tens of thousands more, it would still be a waste of time. But when Zhang Bao's xanthopanax enters the mountains, he is like a fish back in water, and a bird back in the forest. "

Huangfu Song stopped and nodded at Yuan Shu, confirming his thoughts. However, his brows furrowed even more. Even if he knew that Zhang Bao was going west, he still wouldn't believe him even if he chased him. In three days time, Zhang Bao might have already entered the mountain.

"Not necessarily!"

Yuan Shao was not convinced. Huangfu Song had rejected his idea, but he agreed with Yuan Shu's argument, which made it hard for him to accept, as the two brothers had always been competing for power in secret. How could Yuan Shao concede defeat in front of Huangfu Song?

"If one were to say one is going to enter the mountain and become a bandit, occupying the mountain and king, it is indeed possible for ordinary General of the Yellow Scarf Army. But Zhang Bao would never, a person who wants to contend for the world, would become a bandit? "

Indeed, Yuan Shao's words were very reasonable, Zhang Bao was not an ordinary General of the Yellow Scarf Army, but a great Human Generals, their slogan was that the heavens have already died, the Yellow Sky will be established, and prepared to replace the Han Dynasty. Would such a ambitious person be willing to become a bandit?

"Aiya, no good, Zhang Bao is definitely going to kill his way to the south, our main camp is right on his way."

Huangfu Song suddenly shouted loudly, scaring Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu out of their wits as they looked at Huangfu Song in bewilderment. Huangfu Song patted his head, and walked a few steps inside the tent, then suddenly turned and spoke to them.

"Hurry up and send the exorcism out, pay close attention to the direction of the Peach Blossom Ridge."

"Understood."

It was another quiet night. Even though Huangfu Song was anxious in his heart, he could do nothing about it, and after he finished arranging the Outpost, he became more and more uneasy in his heart. He predicted that Zhang Bao would definitely slaughter his way out of the Peach Blossom Ridge, and even after half a night, there was still no news, so he had no choice but to fall asleep.

Zhang Bao's group was not far from the camp, and when the xanthopanax found out about the exorcism s of the imperial government, he was shocked. For a moment, he felt despair. He did not expect that the imperial army would be waiting for him at the most unexpected location. He even prepared to return to the west, to become a bandit in the mountains.

However, the second batch of exorcism s he sent out soon told him that the ones guarding the entrance of the Peach Blossom Ridge were only the government officials and not the cavalry of Youzhou s. However, he did not dare act rashly. Back then, when there were more than 300,000 people, Zhang Jiao did not dare attack Imperial army. Now, with only more than 200,000 people, he did not dare attack the imperial government.

He waited in the depths of the Peach Blossom Ridge for a long time, hesitating as to whether he should return or not. Just at this time, the third batch of exorcism sent back a message. The amount of food in the imperial army guarding the entrance of the Peach Blossom Ridge was not much, it was all from the Guangzong, and every other day, it would be delivered.

Suddenly, he felt that his chance had come. Even if he couldn't take down the army's main camp, as long as he surrounded the army's main camp, they would be defeated without any food or resources. Even if the cavalry of Youzhou came back to reinforce him, he could still return to the Peach Blossom Ridge. The cavalry army did not dare to chase after them.

"Charge out and attack the army!"

Just as Huangfu Song was in a state of panic, over two hundred thousand xanthopanax s charged towards the official camp. It was a moonless night with scattered snowflakes floating in the sky. The cold wind was blowing, as usual, and the soldiers were tightly hugging each other as the wind whistled past them.

The Outpost s of the imperial government's army were doing their duty, roaming around in the cold night. However, the area of their patrols became smaller and smaller, until, after a period of half cold, they gradually retreated to the perimeter of the camp. Not only were the soldiers unable to withstand the bone-piercing cold wind, even the warhorses were unable to withstand it.

Roughly in the morning, the vanguard of xanthopanax finally met the first official Outpost. Pitiful sentries were still wandering in the snow, the vanguard of xanthopanax rushed forward, a team of Outpost, 30 odd people were all shot dead in the snow by xanthopanax.

"Enemy attack …"

"Enemy attack …"

"Enemy attack …"

xanthopanax had been groping all the way to the side of the imperial army camp when he was finally discovered by the Outpost in the vicinity of the camp. Those Outpost s galloped towards the camp, howling like wolves as they ran. It was especially ear-piercing in the silent snow night.

"Clank, clank, clank …"

"Clank, clank, clank …"

"Clank, clank, clank …"

Hearing the Outpost's howls, the sentries in the camp seemed to hesitate. After confirming that it was the Outpost shouting, they picked up the gong and started beating it, the broken gong sounded one after another and even the snowflakes in the air started to scurry around in fear.

"This is bad!"

Hong Gongzi was afraid that he would wake Huangfu Song up, so he immediately realised that trouble was coming. He quickly got dressed and got out of bed, but he put on the wrong clothes several times in a row. This was something that had never happened before. He had experienced the greatest of battles, so why would he panic now?

When he rushed out of the tent, he saw that the Soldiers of the Yellow Scarves had already rushed into the camp, and the Imperial Guards who were not in time to form a formation were fighting with the Soldiers of the Yellow Scarves. He could not help but release his sword and bring the janissaries into the battle.

"Kill …"

No matter what, Huangfu Song was a veteran who had been through the battlefield for a long time. That unlucky or unlucky xanthopanax soldier, seeing an old man brandishing a sword towards him, guessed that it was a great general of the imperial government. He excitedly brandished his blade to welcome him.

"Kill!"

He shouted loudly, but his face was full of smiles. His large blade was like a bolt of lightning as it chopped down, not at people, but at a pile of money. But it was too early for him to be happy. Although Huangfu Song was old enough to be bullied, the personal guards around him were not slow in their words.

"Clang …"

The unlucky xanthopanax soldier's blade struck the personal guard's blade, his arms went numb for a moment and just as he was about to pull back and slash heavily, Huangfu Song's treasure sword suddenly stabbed over, right into his face, causing blood to spurt out, and confuse his eyes. The moment he fell, he unwillingly looked at Huangfu Song. Money and nobility were only a step away from him.

"Kill …"

Huangfu Song pointed his sword forward and shouted. The blade of the sword still had some of the unlucky xanthopanax blood on it. The soldiers of the imperial government were, after all, elites. Although they were not commanded by the Generals, they still fought desperately with him.

A xanthopanax soldier swung his blade and slashed towards the right, but unexpectedly, his left arm was cut off at the same time. Just as the soldier was about to howl, the xanthopanax soldier swung his blade back, raised it in panic to block, but his right arm was cut off again. Seeing his arms being chopped off, the officers and soldiers let out a non-human roar, pouncing towards the xanthopanax soldier like a wolf, opening his mouth and fiercely biting at the xanthopanax soldier's throat, until his head was ruthlessly sliced off by another xanthopanax soldier.

A high-ranking officer struggled to get up from the pool of blood, his eyes filled with an undefeatable determination. The big blade in their hands was slashed with all their might, but it was blocked by a xanthopanax soldier by the shoulders and stabbed into his abdomen. The bloody intestines were dragged out of his abdomen by someone else and a fierce light flashed in both of their eyes at the same time, recklessly stabbing at the other party's body. Both of them had been killed and their blades were still stabbed into the other party's body, causing blood and internal organs to gush out.
