The sun slowly rose from the east, and the vast Ying Chuan began a new day. The sparrows were flying about the fields, chattering away, but most of the fields were deserted and people had nothing to eat, and the sparrows had to starve. Only those who didn't know the worries endlessly told people, "I know, I know." They also didn't know what exactly they knew.
At the edge of the forest, Yang Lin stood with his hands behind his back, looking ahead. Beside him, several of his brothers were reading a letter. The letter wasn't long, and after everyone hurriedly looked through it, it returned to Yang Lin's hands.
The letter was sent by Zhang Shiping from Luoyang. The servant who delivered the message found the Youzhou Army's camp and was brought over by Wang Gang and Wang Po who were stationed at the camp. So it turned out that Zhang Shiping had obtained nothing from the Luoyang, and could not even get close to Zhang Gong and the others in the short term.
However, the imperial government very quickly appointed Liu Yu as the new Youzhou's Thorny History, Tian Kai as the Guang Yang taiwai and Yan Gang as the current Taiyang Shou. Even the original Yuyang Taihang Li Le was removed from his position due to the attack of the xanthopanax. They would probably be at Youzhou soon. Zhang Shiping, Su Shuang requested for instructions in the letter, what should they do next?
"Big brother, there is no need to worry, it is already a fact that Youzhou Army is reclaiming land in Sui County, Guangyang, fishing yang, Yue Lang and the others. Furthermore, there are many elite soldiers, so, Tian Kai and Yan Gang would not dare to act rashly."
Guan Yu was the one who came to a decision, he quickly stepped forward and advised. Yang Lin also thought that Liu Yu would not do anything bad to the Youzhou Army's farmland, and Tian Kai and Yan Gang could not even create any big waves. The problem was that Liu Yu was too good, he was a true loyal servant, and at the same time, a pedant. He supported fresh inferior and Wu Huan to adopt a soft and gentle policy, which was not comparable to his own ideas, and would be difficult to get along with in the future.
A good man like him, you can't bear to deal with him, the brothers there are not justified, that will restrain their own hands and feet. It was because Gongsun Zan killed Liu Yu that caused the public to be angry. In the end, everyone left and they were killed.
As for Tian Kai, Yan Gang, Yang Lin had already recalled that the two of them seemed to have sided with Gongsun Zan and became his two generals. That was because they were powerful opponents, and if not for their footholds, Gongsun Zan would probably be their enemy.
Right now, it's impossible to pull them over. I'm a taiwai, so I'm much stronger than you, so it's fine that you don't want to rely on them.
Thinking of Gongsun Zan, Yang Lin couldn't help but feel goosebumps. This fellow was also a cavalry general, and was very fond of cavalry combat. If he could learn how to saddle a horse, perhaps he would also produce a strong cavalry soldier, which would be detrimental to him in any way.
Was his choice to develop in Youzhou wrong? If not for him, Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan would have fought to the death, and now that he was here, the three of them would definitely not be standing together. It seemed that without waiting for Hanling Emperor to return to the sky, Youzhou would not be at peace.
"Send a letter to Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang immediately. It has been hard on them, there is no longer a need for them to stay in the Luoyang. and sent back so many captives to help with the farming. "
After sending off Zhang Shiping's servants, Yang Lin let out a long breath. What should have happened had already happened, he could only face it now. It seemed that it was a mistake for him to send Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang to the Luoyang. Merchants like them did not have the ability to do so.
"Reporting, Bo Cai led his troops and fought with the imperial government for four hours. Both sides suffered heavy losses, with one ten thousand people dead, one ten thousand people injured, three ten thousand people dead, and their army forced to retreat. Huang Cai led the remaining soldiers and headed towards Ying Yang, approximately 70,000 to 80,000 people."
Zhu Kan ran over from the distance and reported loudly to Yang Lin. In the summer, Zhu Kan led the hundred over exorcism s and wandered around the vicinity of the officials and army. They could observe every single movement on the battlefield, so that they could report the situation on the battlefield to Yang Lin at any time and also observe the skills of the officials and army.
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and the other brothers were also shocked, no wonder they waited for the middle of the night, the wave did not come, so it turns out that guy went to fight against the officials, was he courting death? Just as everyone was laughing at Bo Cai, Yang Lin shook his head and gave a different opinion.
"This wave is not crazy. On the contrary, he is very clear-headed. As long as he defeats Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, he will have no opponents in Ying Chuan, Lunan, Chen Guo and other places, and his reputation will become even more famous in xanthopanax, and he might even be able to replace Zhang Jiao. "
It seemed that this wave of people were quite ambitious, and were rather a man who dared to do anything. However, he had met the Youzhou Army, and he was almost at the end of his road. The brothers nodded and agreed with Yang Lin's point of view.
"Big brother, those are just daydreams. With us brothers here, he probably won't be able to escape Ying Chuan."
Zhang Fei shouted loudly, waving the snake spear in his hand, not putting Bo Cai in his eyes at all. When the brothers heard this, the crowd was also furious. They wished that they could immediately set off to exterminate Bo Dai. Unexpectedly, Yang Lin shook his head and laughed.
"Brothers, exterminating Bo would be easy, but what do we do with the seventy thousand yellow cloth captive s?"
's single sentence had reminded all the brothers that the xanthopanax's grains had all been delivered away by him. If he were to capture over 70,000 yellow scarfed soldiers, how would he be able to support them? If he couldn't send the Youzhou back, he would probably starve to death on the road.
"Big brother, what should we do?"
Yang Lin looked left and right, then waved his hand to the guards, who tactfully retreated. Yang Lin then smiled and said to everyone.
"We must get the xanthopanax to snatch the rations, get enough for them to eat for at least half a year before defeating them and sending them to the Youzhou. Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun already hate him so much. If they don't kill him, they won't be able to explain it to the imperial government. "
"Ah …"
All the brothers were shocked, looking at Yang Lin in confusion. If he allowed xanthopanax to snatch the food, who knows how many hundreds of people would suffer? Of course, Yang Lin knew what the others were thinking, he nodded at everyone and patiently explained everything to them.
"How much food do the people have? Even if the xanthopanax wanted to rob them, it was to rob those large family s, and the food in those large family s were grown by the common people. Even if the xanthopanax did not snatch it from them, they would not have taken out a single grain to help the citizens.
"Oh, Big Brother is right."
Only then did the brothers start laughing. Although they didn't have a consciousness of rank, they still knew that those Scholars s and Wealthy Classes were worth fighting over. Other than Zhang Fei and Xu Zhu, the rest of the brothers were all poor farmers.
Bo was leading his seventy thousand soldiers and fleeing in panic like a dog that had lost its home. It was a mess along the way. In fact, there weren't that many casualties in the war. There were less than 20,000 casualties on the battlefield, most of them later on. The wounded soldiers had long since been thrown away. The soldiers who couldn't keep up with the team also disappeared without a trace. There were even some soldiers who took the opportunity to make mistakes.
After entering the Ying Yang territory, Bo let out a huge sigh of relief. After being so far away from the Yang Di, he had yet to see the Imperial army give chase, nor did he see the cavalry of Youzhou intercept them.
"Hahaha …" The heavens are on my side. Those idiots must have thought that we were going to escape to Mount Song and ambush us there. I had to go to the Lunan and take them by surprise. "Pass down the order, let's go to the nearby village and search for grain. We will rest here for a while."
The soldiers who had been running for nearly a day immediately rushed towards the nearby village upon hearing the order. In a short while, the entire village was filled with the cries of sheep and dogs. Soldiers of the Yellow Scarves was very familiar with robbing and had a lot of combat experience.
As the xanthopanax was in a hurry and didn't have any logistics support, the only way out was robbery. The citizens of Ying Chuan were truly unlucky, they were only now active in the Ying Chuan area, and at first, they were just fighting for the Wealthy Class and Scholars, but later, they were even fighting for the ordinary citizens. Some of the commoners who were robbed to death saw that they were going to starve to death, so they also joined the xanthopanax.
The Soldiers of the Yellow Scarves that returned home full of rewards went back to their temporary camp, all of them smiling merrily. Look at those xanthopanax soldiers, carrying food on their shoulders, holding chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep, and even some other people's cattle, they looked just like a group of bandits.
Some of the xanthopanax's soldiers started a fire to cook, some started slaughtering pigs and lambs, and not long later, smoke started to rise from the temporary camp. Just as they were salivating over a feast, a large troop of cavalry slowly approached from the south.
Bo Cai no longer had a set up scout under his command, and only him, Peng Tuo, Peng Tuo and his hundred personal guards remained. Due to the unbearable hunger, the personal guards were walking around nearby. As the cavalry of Youzhou approached, they were still dreaming.
"Enemy attack …"
"Enemy attack …"
janissaries finally noticed the approaching cavalry of Youzhou and immediately shouted at the top of her lungs. As she ran, she escaped into the temporary camp. Soldiers of the Yellow Scarves who was slaughtering pigs and sheep were all stunned, they could no longer run, they could only look at Generals, clearly begging him, wait for us to finish eating, then run.
"Dang, dang, dang, dang …"
The emergency gongs began to ring in the camp, urging the soldiers to throw down their food and pick up their swords and guns to fight. After running for a day, the soldiers didn't have any strength left. Some of them just grabbed a handful of rice and started to eat as they ran. Some of the soldiers picked up their knives, cut off a piece of raw meat, and started chewing on it.
Bo would never be willing to lose, he would never surrender so he immediately sent herald to call for everyone to prepare for battle. Bo finally understood that the imperial government would never let him off. Others may get amnesty from the imperial government, but Zhang Jiao, Zhang Mancheng and him were the ones who would never be forgiven. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would fight to the end and would never surrender.
