Wei Shi led 3,000 troops and headed north along Wuguan Road, heading straight for the important town Luo that Liu Xiong had just captured.

The location of Shangluo, also known as Shangluo in later generations, is located in the mountains of the Qinling Mountains. The terrain is dangerous and complex. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when the two great powers Qin and Chu were competing for hegemony, the Shangluo area was the main battlefield.

Liu Xiong's Nanshan bandits mainly operate in the mountainous area north of Shangluo and south of Lishan Mountain. They have about two thousand people, most of whom are herb collectors in the mountains, and a small number of them are hunters in the mountains.

.

Among the two groups, there were nearly 1,500 herb gatherers, which gave them an advantage in numbers. However, having more people did not mean they were more capable. It was the hunter generals with a small number who actually commanded the Nanshan bandits in battle.

Among these hunters, Li Hu from Ba was the main one. Although the Li family had less than five hundred members, they were extremely brave.

Before Li Hu fled to Nanshan, he was a subordinate of Su Gu, the prefect of Hanzhong. He once fought with Zhang Xiu and Zhang Lu's rice soldiers in Brazil County.

After Su Gu was killed by Zhang Xiu and Zhang Lu, Chen Tiao, Zhao Song and others intended to avenge Su Gu. Unfortunately, the incident was not secret. Chen and Zhao died in battle one after another, while Li Hu led his tribe to flee north into the mountains.

Combined with Liu Xiong's group.

When Wei Shi reached Shangluo, he met Li Hu guarding the city.

When Liao Hua and Hou Yin saw that there was an enemy blocking the road, they were immediately full of fighting spirit. The two groups of troops refused to give way on the Wuguan Road, and the sound of killing was loud.

Hou Yin led part of Xiong'er Mountain to attack the pass, and fought fiercely with Li Hu for two hours without being able to move down.

Later, Liao Hua led Shangluo Yellow Turban warriors to kill him again. This time, Li Hu finally couldn't hold on anymore and hurriedly asked Liu Xiong for reinforcements, but he didn't want to send reinforcements three times in a row without waiting for Liu Xiong to arrive.

In desperation, Li Hu could only order his troops to escape into the mountains and open Wuguan Road to allow Wei Shijun to pass.

After opening up Shangluo, Liao Hua and Hou Yin continued northward. When they reached the source of Luoshui River, they happened to intercept Liu Xiong's messenger and heard an urgent military message.

The reason why Liu Xiong delayed in reinforcing Li Hu was because he took the main force of the Nanshan bandits and cooperated with Ma Teng's general Pang De to attack Zhang Baiqi.

Upon hearing the news, Liao Hua and Hou Yin were shocked.

The Funiu Mountain, Miao Mountain, and Xiong'er Mountain areas east of the Qinling Mountains were once the birthplace of the Nanyang Yellow Turbans.

After Zhang Mancheng, Han Zhong, Zhao Hong, and Sun Xia, the Yellow Turban canal commanders, were defeated one after another, their remnants were scattered. By the Jian'an period, there were only three real Yellow Turban remnants left.

Liao Hua lived in the west and was active in Shangluo, Wuguan and Fangling areas.

Hou Yin lived in the east, using Xiong'er Mountain as his base, and was able to survive while Cao Cao, Zhang Xiu, and Liu Biao could not take care of him.

The last one was Zhang Sheng, also known as Zhang Baiqi, who led more than 10,000 people without any belongings and invaded between Mount Xiao and Mianchi.

"Brother Liao, didn't Zhang Baiqi defect to Heishan Zhang Yan to fight against Hedong County? Why did he come back again? Could it be that he has changed his mind and wants to join forces with us?"

Hou Yin said excitedly when he heard the news about his former friend.

"Before the Lord's departure, he specifically stated the situation in Hedong County. Have you forgotten that Zhang Sheng might have suffered a defeat? Otherwise, he would not have been so obedient and turned around to Miaoshan?"

Liao Hua looked solemn and worried about Zhang Baiqi's return to the south.

Before swearing to go north, Wei Shi was afraid that Liao Hua and Hou Yin were not capable enough, so he specially called them over to tell them about the military situation in the North that they had discovered in Jingzhou.

In the seventh year of Jian'an, which was just the past year, Yuan Shao appointed Gao Gan, the governor of Bingzhou, and Guo Yuan, the governor of Hedong. He united with the powerful tribesmen in Hedong, Wei Gu, Fan Xian, and Zhang Baiqi of the Black Mountain Army to attack Hedong. As a result, he was defeated by Zhong Yao, the governor of Hedong.

Du Ji was defeated by Andy's general Ma Teng.

In this battle, Ma Chao and Pang De led the Xiliang cavalry to massacre in Hedong. Guo Yuan was killed, Gao Gan was defeated, and Zhang Baiqi's losses were not small.

The military information mentioned by Wei Shi does not actually come from the battle between Liu Biao, Ma Chao, and Pang De in Jingzhou and Hedong. It is a historical record that Wei Shi saw in his previous life.

According to the time point, Zhang Sheng returned south this time because he failed to unite with senior officials to conquer Hedong. Shortly after returning to Xiaoshan, he was annihilated by Pang De because he was isolated and helpless.

"Hou Er, you quickly cross from Luoshui to the Xiaoshan area to pick up Bai Qi. No matter what, you want to rescue him for me?"

"I will contact Fujun immediately to see if we can send troops to Luoshan first. If the White Cavalry is gone, we, the Yellow Turban brothers, will be missing another one... Alas!"

When Liao Hua said this, his eyes gradually turned red.

Yellow scarf!

That great era that makes people nostalgic but can’t bear to recall.

Around Liao Hua, there used to be so many heroes and warriors fighting side by side, but now, only two or three are left alone.

Shangluo.

Wei Shi had just inspected the battlefield where the two armies were fighting. The dead and wounded soldiers in his own army had been sent back to Fangling and Shangyong by the young and strong auxiliary troops along Wuguan Road.

Those who are killed and injured in battle will be rewarded with military land according to their military merits. The widows, wives and children will have their own prefecture to make a list and take care of them as martyrs. This military law has been implemented in Wei Shijun for a year. From top to bottom,

No one dares to violate it.

"Reporting to the government, Lieutenant Liao and Lieutenant Hou have urgent military information to report."

"Send it up!"

Guo Peng hurried forward, took out the bamboo slip from the messenger and handed it to Wei Shi.

"Zhang Baiqi is surrounded, and he is going to face the white-horse general Pound so soon. God really favors me too much?" Wei Shi's eyes tightened, and the bamboo slip was crushed in his hands.

"Send the order, Wei Cheng will lead a group of troops to stay at Shangluo, and the rest of the troops will follow me directly to Mount Xiao."

Wei Shi gave an order, and military orders echoed in the valley of Wuguandao. Groups of generals from the three eastern counties, led by their respective camp commanders and Quhou, turned from Shangluo to Luoshui and rushed towards Weishan.

——

Hongnong County, Weishan.

Zhang Sheng was short of men and horses, and half of his tens of thousands of soldiers had been lost. The remaining five thousand troops were also demoralized and no longer had the momentum to march north to Hedong County.

When Han Zhong and Zhao Hong were guarding Wancheng, Zhang Sheng was recruited into the army by the Yellow Turbans. He was less than fourteen years old at the time. Now more than twenty years have passed, and he has grown from a teenager to the leader of the Black Mountain Army.

"Pang De is brave and very invincible. If Liao Hua and Hou Yin are in Nanyang, they may send troops to respond. Now..."

"Fight!"

"Brothers, moth thieves, bastards, thieves, these are the names given to us by the officers and soldiers on the opposite side. Now, it is time to return them to them. Today, I, Zhang Sheng, gave up this life and asked the heaven for one.

justice."

"The sky is dead, the yellow sky is here to stand. If you are still alive, the world will be prosperous!" In despair, Zhang Sheng took the lead in chanting the slogan of the Yellow Turban of that year.

At the foot of Xiaoshan Mountain.

Zhonglang General Pang De led a group of Xiliang cavalry, and was chasing Zhang Baiqi's tail.

In the battle of Hedong County, Pang De, who was still a school captain, personally beheaded Guo Yuan in the rebel army. With this achievement, Pang De was promoted to the rank of Zhonglang General and was granted the title of Marquis of Tingting.

This time, Pang De led the Liangzhou heavy cavalry to chase Zhang Baiqi, just to make another contribution and raise the title of Marquis Ting.
