The river approaching winter is particularly peaceful and peaceful, like a mirror-like river water flows quietly in the river channel. There is no trace of the waves, and there is no sign of the rage, cruelty and irresistible momentum of this not-so-kind mother when it floods.

In the rich river fog, a dark shadow sounded with a little crisp sound. The white mist was cut by the hot breath. A cavalry leading a horse appeared there, stepped carefully to the riverside, looked around, and then raised a strange little tube from his neck and looked back and forth. Then, he took out a small bamboo whistle from his pocket with complete tools and blew three sharply.

A minute later, more crisp sounds of horse hooves sounded, and large groups of cavalrymen pulled the horses and appeared on the foggy side of the river. The war horses couldn't wait to walk into the river, lowering their bright heads and pouring river water into their stomachs. Here, people and animals are surprisingly equal, just next to their own war horses. The soldiers of the Cao army also held the cool Yellow River water in their hands and sent it to their mouths, quenching their thirst.

"Why don't you come some?"

Not only did he drink, he also washed his face quickly and poked his head full of water from the water. The general who was wearing a Western Qiang style on his head, and his face was covered with thick and hard bearded, turned around and greeted him honestly.

It is said that the wife is honored by the husband. This time Cao Hong Festival did not come, but Wang Hou inherited her title. The prefect of Dongjun and the transferee of Yanzhou. Wang Hou is now also the king's envoy.

Listening to Zhang Liao's warm greetings there, Wang Hou shook his head in favor of Xie Bumin, and also patted him on the small silver kettle wrapped in leather on the basin.

"General Zhang asks himself, Wang is ready!"

"Your Majesty, you are so pretentious! A real man has to drink water everywhere when he walks in the fields! If you are as pretentious as you are, the water will have to boil and put it in a silver kettle, I, Zhang Wenyuan, would have died long ago!"

Zhang Liao was still very proud of this, but Wang Hou shook his head when he heard this.

"Wang admires General Zhang's hard work and perseverance, but whether the general believes it or not, if he goes to Mobei or Jiangnan, Wang drinks boiled water and the general drinks raw water. When the general is dysentery, Wang will not have dysentery!"

If he was a more arrogant martial artist, he would laugh at Wang Hou's self-proclaimed self-proclaiming, and even mocked him a few words. However, Zhang Liao could go from a first-level surrender to the leader of the five good generals, and the general of the Wei State, but he was a scheming person. Moreover, Wang Hou transformed from Yexiang Cangcao to the prefect of the Eight Stones. His knowledge and strong reputation became famous in Xu Du. After hesitation, Zhang Liao humbly clasped his fists.

"Oh? How can you explain this?"

"When Emperor Wu of Han attacked Hu, the Huns threw a large number of dead cattle and sheep into the river during the Battle of Mobei, and as a result, they caused an epidemic in our Han army, killing hundreds of thousands. The general thought, what caused the epidemic?"

"miasma!"

Zhang Liao's answer is the standard answer of this era. Miasma is really a magical thing! It is it that causes plague, it is it that causes dysentery! It is it that causes wind and cold? But just after Zhang Liao finished answering, Wang Hou started to ask again in a hurry.

"What exactly is that miasma!"

"this……"

This sentence made Zhang Liao dumbfounded. If he knew what it was, why did the ancients use miasma as a comparison? Fortunately, the army had limited time to rest and drink water, and Wang Hou didn't keep it in a slight way, so he just raised it with a finger.

"Miscence is insects! Living insects are so small that they are invisible to the naked eye, but they are extremely large swarms! In the Battle of Mobei, the decayed dead cattle and sheep thrown into the river provided a breeding ground for the pests in the river. The water quality deteriorated, exceeding the content of insects in the ordinary raw water that soldiers drank. Therefore, soldiers who went to Mobei would suffer from epidemics. When northerners go to the south, or southerners go to the north, they were also not adapted to the ingredients of insects contained in the local water, so they would experience dysentery that would not adapt to the local water!"

"In fact, only drinking boiled water can weaken himself. Because most of the living insects in the water are killed by boiling water, it is not a question of allowing the body to adapt to these insects. In the long run, Wang will be even less adapted to the local raw water! However, drinking boiled water every time he insists on drinking boiled water can at least minimize the chance of Wang being infected by water diseases!"

Microbiology did not appear until the 19th century when a microscope appeared. Zhang Liao could not understand it at all, so Wang Hou summarized it into a simple insect. But even so, Zhang Liao's face turned pale. Looking at the Yellow River water under his feet, he seemed to see countless small insects twisting and twisting. He asked with a stuttering question.

"Empress, how did you know?"

"Because I've seen it!"

Wang Hou's words were really not bragging. Even a liberal arts student had a microscope experiment in junior high school and high school, had seen chlorophyll, and had peeing in the hospital for urine tests, and had seen streptococci, not to mention some disgusting medical advertisements in later generations. Looking at Wang Hou's swearing and looking at the Yellow River water beneath his feet, Zhang Liao was even more afraid.

Fortunately, something happened soon after that. Suddenly, another scout cavalry on the shore ran back frantically, shouting loudly.

"Where is the general? Where is the general? There are enemies in the east! There are enemies in the east!"

Zhang Liao didn't care whether he was wormy or not. He yelled in panic: "Get on the horse! Get on the horse!"

The roar actually didn't work here. There were more than 5,000 Cao's cavalry on the shore, including the Bingzhou cavalry and Xiliang cavalry under Lu Bu's command in Xuzhou. There were also the sound of horses drinking water everywhere. Zhang Liao's military order could not be transmitted far. Fortunately, in order to deal with large-scale wars, the Chinese had a solution early. His roar directly ordered the three general flags of the central army. The big flag waved and passed the order to the nearby Quqi team flags. As the flags swayed, the cavalry, whether they drank or not, were all on the horses' horses. Amid the crackling sounds of horse hooves, the five thousand cavalry also formed a new array and followed Zhang Liao's flag and sneaked into the thick fog again.

Following Zhang Liao's horse, Wang Hou's heart was thrusting.

In the Battle of Xia Pi, he participated completely as a military officer. Although the battle was lively, he did not actually participate in the war. After Zhang Liao went out of the army, Wang Hou actually had an unnamed and real position.

military adviser!

This means that he must also personally enter the war.

There was no way, the plan could not keep up with the rapid change. Originally, he was in the Guandu Houying camp, gathering grain from all over Yanzhou, and planning to build a supply station to prevent the possible robbery of grain by Yuan Shao's army and supporting the supply line to support the long war. However, just when Wang Hou was busy, new military information came from the front line. After Chunyu Qiong forced the submission of Wang Hou's Puyang, Yuan Shao's general Wen Chou had another 20,000 troops, and forced the Yellow River to surround Baima City, which Yu Jin had only 26,700 people.

In addition, there are unknown numbers but extremely large Yuan Shao's main corps appeared in Tangque, directly north.

Before the letter of war was issued, Yuan Shao had already completed the mobilization of the four northern prefectures, and the Hebei army was the first to enter the battlefield and launch an attack!

At this time, Cao Cao's main force headed straight to Yanjin Ferry, which was even more western, because compared with the Baima Ferry, Yanjin's water level was smoother and more suitable for large corps to cross the river. Cao Cao, Guo Jia, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Liu Hua and others were more inclined to cross the Yellow River again, but they did not expect that Yuan Shao would show off.

At this time, the old troops of Zhang Liao, who were stationed near Mi County, who were surrendered from Xuzhou, happened to arrive at the battlefield. After mixing the two thousand cavalry in the back team, they were directly formed to form a new attack cluster and sent to the battlefield. At this time, Guo Jia had just left Guandu and went to Yanjin for one day, so Wang Hou was captured and served as the military advisor of Zhang Liao's army.

Cao Cao didn't expect Wang Hou to come up with many ideas. His most important task was to watch Zhang Liao, the surrendered general, and prevent him from rebelling!

One man carried a pot of arrows, fifteen dried steamed buns, some salt sauce and fermented black beans, and five thousand cavalrymen set off.

Today is the third day of entering the White Horse!

It is said that the emergence of cannons changed the pattern of war! However, Wang Hou believed that the emergence of telescopes also changed the pattern of war, at least that's the case here.

Three miles away, the battlefield of Baima City was full of noise, and shouting was above the hustle and bustle. Three miles away, on the large plain south of Baima City, dozens of shields were tied together with calipers and herringbones. Zhang Liao and Wang Hou climbed up like a ladder, and together they picked up a crystal-milled telescope and watched over Baima City in the northeast.

This is the first time I use it. Even Zhang Liao couldn't help but suck in the cold air like a local bun. After a while, he turned around in shock and sighed at Wang Hou.

"The envoy is really a magical weapon! The entire battlefield has caught my eyes!"

What kind of magic weapon is this! Not to mention the atomic bomb, if you give you a machine gun, you will be unable to sleep! Ignoring Zhang Liao's compliment, Wang Hou was fully focused on the battlefield in front of him. The situation on the battlefield was really bad at this time!

No wonder it is said that the Battle of Guandu is one of the three major battles that changed the situation at the end of the Han Dynasty. The difference in strength between the two sides is really huge! The scale of Wen Chou, a partial division under Baima City, is almost the same as the main force of the Cao army that Wang Hou saw in Guandu. Moreover, Yuan Shao was born in the fourth generation and the third prince, and his family was a general and a prime minister. His foundation was much stronger than that of Cao's army, who became monks halfway through the road. It can be seen from the technological configuration.

The circumference is only 1,600 meters, close to four hundred and four hundred mars. There are more than 20 towering and huge slings near the city wall of more than three meters and less than four meters. This thing is the prototype of Yuan's army suppressing Cao's army's Tushan in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It is a building car that is nearly five or six meters high. The shield is wrapped in raw cowhide in front of the car, and it surrounds one side to resist the attack. Above the car is a wooden floor of dozens of square meters, with dozens of archers densely arranged on it, which is actually one head taller than the city wall, and is conspicuous, and is constantly shooting Cao's army under Yu Jin's command on the top of the city.

Under the city wall, Yuan Jun was pushing the cloud ladder and approaching the city wall quickly. In the past, Wang Hou thought that a long wooden ladder was a cloud ladder, but it was not at all. The cloud ladder was created by Lu Ban and was also a heavy chariot in ancient times. It was a bit like a plesiosaur with eight wheels and more than ten meters long. There was a small stair platform in the middle three meters. In front was a four or five meters long inclined suspension bridge. There was a sharp hook and sickle on the suspension bridge. Wang Hou could already imagine it. Once this thing hooked the battlements, Cao Jun could not destroy it for a while. Following the inclined stairs, Yuan Jun could rush up to the city wall like tap water pouring.

Whether it is the number of people or equipment, Yuan Shao's army had the upper hand. Yu Jinjun, who had been holding on for three days, was beaten to a blue face under such a strong offensive. Cao Jun, who was shot to death by arrows, pulled him on the battlement, shouting killing sounds at the city wall of the ladder, and shouting killing sounds shockingly. Yuan Jun in yellow armor and Cao Jun in black armor fought in a group within a few square meters.

"General Zhang, you can't hold on to the use of Baima City anymore! We should march quickly to support General Yu Jin!"

After all, Yu Jin had supported Wang Hou outside Puyang City. Seeing it, he was anxious in his heart. When he put down his telescope, Wang Hou turned his head quickly. Who knew that Zhang Liao, who had been following his advice and cooperating with him all the way, suddenly shook his head heavily.

"Envoy, Zhang believes that this is not a good time to support Baima City!"

“Why?”

Looking at the blurry battlefield in front of him, while putting the telescope in front of him again, Zhang Liao reached out and pointed to the distance.

"See you! Wen Chou's army is said to have 20,000 or 30,000, and has a lot of siege equipment. However, he did not attack from all directions for a small Baima City. He only concentrated his troops to attack the North City. The siege would not require his three thousand infantry soldiers!"

"Wen Chou's right wing, yellow clouds are piled up, and the heads are lush. He expected that if the Prime Minister supports Baima City, he would come from the southwest. Therefore, the main troops were arranged here to resist the impact. When he looked northeast, he could vaguely see the cavalry formation. It was Wen Chou who hid the cavalry behind him and made a blow behind the palace!"

He is worthy of being a long-time general on the battlefield. After a moment of looking around, Zhang Liao understood the situation. He put down his telescope and pushed his arm forward with a very vivid look.

"Empress, if our army attacks at this time and gets entangled with the heavy troops of the right wing of Wen Chou's army, Wen Chou will lead the cavalry to attack from the flanks, and it will be easy to defeat our army. Once the troops are sent, this battle will be defeated!"

That's true! Listening to Zhang Liao's description, Wang Hou put down the telescope depressedly, but even though he looked helpless, Zhang Liao still held the ladder built by the shield, slowly climbing down, and said helplessly.

"It is meaningless to attack rashly. General Yu Jin is the Prime Minister's beloved general. I believe he can still withstand it. Moreover, the Prime Minister cannot just send our troops to support him. In my opinion, the envoy should lead the army back. Don't be alerted. Wait for the Prime Minister to lead the army to arrive and make a decision!"

"etc!"

Wang Hou suddenly said a solemn expression, almost causing Zhang Liao to fall off the shield pile, full of surprise. He simply jumped down, and then walked around Wang Hou's side, and asked in surprise.

"Eunuch, but is Wen Yuan wrong?"

"You mean, the Prime Minister will definitely not be able to directly send our troops to support us, and the support army must be still on the way!"

"Baima and Yanjin are the two best ferries within a few hundred miles. If you want to guard the natural danger of the Yellow River, you must guard these two places! Zhang believes that the Prime Minister must march towards this!"

Wang Hou could not remember how to win the Guandu battle, but only remember that Xu You, the second five-year-old, came over and reported to Yuan Shao's grain yard, Wuchao. When General Cao led his army to attack, he won in a flash! So at this time, he was nervous as if he was shaking, and kept trembling. After a while, he asked Zhang Liao another question that surprised him.

"The army has five shapes, one of which is defeated but not dispersed! Can General Zhang's Bingzhou cavalry do it?" 166 Reading Network
