What kind of entertainment do the two brothers Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao want to do?
The Yellow Turbans have been marching across Hebei for several months. How can Zhang Liang stop at just fifty miles away? After a hard day's battle, tens of thousands of people were killed, and the enemy was seriously injured, who would be willing to just let them go? But Zhang Liang is here.
It is unnatural for the city to remain peaceful.
Who are they planning?
Will he hunt rabbits in the pasture, and even end up making a mess for himself?
There are nearly 200,000 Yellow Turbans. Anyone who dares to underestimate this force is a fool. Moreover, Liu Xiang remembers that there is a record in the biography of Huangfu Song: "Song and his younger brother Liang fought in Guangzong. The Liang people were brave and brave, and Song could not
To overcome it, we closed the camp and rested to observe the changes."
During these two days of watching the battle, Zhang Liang's troops were either overwhelmed by thousands of Liangzhou soldiers, or relied on their superior numbers, with hundreds of thousands of people surrounding the Han army of more than 10,000, attacking from all sides, exchanging lives for lives.
I don't see the bravery.
So, where did that elite team go?
Should he wait for Dong Zhuo in the south? Or stare at him in the wild?
Faced with Zhang Liang's question, Liu Xiang smiled bitterly and said: "Our army is exhausted and it is really difficult to fight. It will take at least one day before we can barely march."
It was originally agreed to repair for three days, but now it has only been two days, and this excuse can be used.
Zhang Liang nodded: "Okay, we will repair for another day, and the day after tomorrow, you and I will send out troops to pursue you early in the morning."
Liu Xiang took advantage of his young age and was easily looked down upon. He pretended to be bold and responded loudly: "It's all up to General Zhang's arrangement. Our army can be the vanguard to pursue the Han army and kill the enemy chieftain."
Zhang Liang Dayue: "General Liu is mighty!"
"In that case, I will return to camp to prepare and wait for General Zhang's military orders."
It was already dark, and Liu Xiang didn't want to spend the night in the city, so he declined Zhang Liang's offer to stay, and winked at Xia Houlan, asking him to follow her back to the camp.
Xia Houlan followed Liu Xiang calmly, Zhang Liang didn't care, and the Anping Army and others left the city smoothly.
"We can no longer stay here." Liu Xiang said to the three people accompanying Zhao Yun while sorting out the chaotic thoughts in his mind.
Shi Axiang regarded himself as a close guard and was self-aware. He never participated in military matters. At such times, he just followed silently, always paying attention to the movements around him.
Zhao Yun answered: "My lord, what clues did you discover? Those yellow scarf thieves are going to be detrimental to our army?"
Xia Houlan carefully thought about what he had seen and heard in the past few days, and then responded: "Three Zhang brothers, I only saw Zhang Liang, my lord, do you suspect that they have set a trap?"
Liu Xiang nodded, not only explaining to them, but also trying to use words to sort out a clear context from the information he had: "I conclude that Zhang Jiao is dead, Zhang Bao is the brother, but he is nowhere to be seen, and Zhang Liang is the younger brother, but he is in control.
Guangzong, this is one.
Zhang Jiao has long had the intention to rebel. The Taiping Road has been developed for more than ten years and has spread all over the world. How can there be no elites? But although the Yellow Turbans of Guangzong can fight hard, they are really a mob. I infer that there must be soldiers and horses lurking outside. This is
Two.
In today's battle, the Yellow Turbans suffered more than ten thousand casualties, and the Han army was severely depleted. Zhang Liang just sat back and watched the enemy retreat peacefully, which is unreasonable. This is the third reason."
He looked at the few people and said in a deep voice: "With so many doubts, I can't feel at ease. This place is already a dangerous place and we cannot stay."
Xia Houlan nodded in agreement.
Zhao Yun said doubtfully: "My lord, you suspect that the Yellow Turban thieves are trying to annex our army? Are you afraid that our army will rise up to resist and break their teeth? If the Han army takes advantage of the chaos and returns to the army, these moth thieves will not benefit."
Liu Xiang shook his head: "People's hearts are unpredictable, so we must act cautiously. If Zhang Bao is lying in ambush near our army, we must jump out of the Yellow Turban encirclement. If Zhang Bao is waiting for Dong Zhuo in the south, our army can go and take advantage."
He suddenly paused, thought carefully, and continued: "If Zhang Bao has set up an ambush in the south and destroys the Han army first, and then waits for our army to send troops with Zhang Liang, then we will attack from both sides, and our army will suffer heavy losses."
Things must be taken precautions against.”
Several people were full of doubts and rushed back to the camp with the guards.
When they arrived at the camp, Liu Xiang asked hurriedly: "Will the sentry sent to keep an eye on the Han army get anything in return?"
"No news has been sent back," the Tiqi Army Hou Gong replied.
The sentinel sent out may have been cleared out. The situation in the south is unknown, so we must not stay here and wait passively.
"Assemble the team and start moving quickly."
When Zhang Liang sent troops during the day, the Anping Army had already moved south for more than 20 miles, preparing to take advantage of the opportunity. Unfortunately, the Yellow Turbans failed to break through the enemy camp, and the Han army showed no signs of escaping. They could only stop in the north of the city and continue to cultivate their physical strength.
Six thousand cavalry and more than 10,000 horses marched eastward without any scruples. Liu Xiang didn't care whether he would alert Zhang Liang. The speed of the cavalry was a strategic advantage. The infantry could only eat dust and there was nothing they could do against them.
He was not planning a sneak attack on Guangzong, so there was no need to waste time by being secretive.
The large group of cavalry left Guangzong behind, broke through the defenders of the border bridge, and came to the east bank of the Qinghe River, which was already the boundary of the Qinghe Kingdom.
Liu Xiang deduced that it was already late when Dong Zhuo withdrew his troops, and the Han army did not have time to set up a stronghold. In order to prevent the enemy from sneak attack, they should have crossed the Qinghe River and defended the river.
Therefore, he wanted to go south along the east bank of the river and take Dong Zhuo's retreat.
If his conclusion is wrong, he will confront the Han army across the river and wait for the opportunity.
If Zhang Bao did not attack the Han army secretly, it means that the Zhang brothers wanted to ambush themselves, or at least jumped out of the Yellow Turban Army's trap.
Alliances are meant for fighting; allies are meant for betrayal; we all understand the saying that a soldier never tires of deceit.
After today, the situation on this battlefield has changed from a confrontation between two armies to a war between the three countries.
Then let's use our own methods and fight to the bitter end.
The Anping Army accelerated forward in Liu Xiang's thoughts. After going south for more than thirty miles, they finally discovered the movement ahead. The scouts reported that there was a battle eight miles ahead.
"Rest on the spot, send extra manpower, and investigate carefully."
The Anping Army stopped, trained their horses, and sent back wave after wave of detection reports.
"Thirty to forty thousand Yellow Turbans pressed the Han army on the east bank of the Qinghe River. The battle was very fierce."
"The Yellow Turban Flag is Zhang."
"The Han cavalry was entangled on the river bank and found it difficult to escape."
"The left wing position of the Yellow Turban Army was defeated."
"One part of the Han army, nearly ten thousand people, crossed the river and left. The remaining five or six thousand people were entangled in the Yellow Turbans and were unable to escape."
Liu Xiang guessed that those who left must have been those dogs from the 5th Battalion of the Northern Army. These people were so decisive and cut off their tails directly to survive. He didn't know which battalion left the tail behind.
I just felt sorry for Fatty Dong and was sold again.
"Keep exploring."
Liu Xiang did not cross the river to pursue him. Not to mention that it was too dangerous to cross the river at night, tens of thousands of Northern troops escaped. If he pursued them at this time, the losses would be too great.
It's more cost-effective to stay and pick up the bargains.
The Liangzhou cavalry are extremely powerful, and the Yellow Turban infantry may not be able to stop them.
Liu Xiang's guess was indeed correct. Half an hour later, the scout reported: "Nearly two thousand riders broke through the encirclement and headed east."
