It turned out that the young Si Nong was determined to raid Jizhou, march through the Taihang Mountains, march to Xinxing County, and enter Bingzhou.
After being entrusted by Yuan Shao, Zhang He led the elite troops from Hebei and pursued Cao's cavalry. He was the last man in the Four Courtyard Pillars of Hebei. He used the same troops as Yan Liang, but his views were completely different. He was very smart.
When Fang Guang burned a grain depot in Nanluan City of Changshan County, he was noticed by Zhang He's tribe.
Zhang He's army was completely different from Gao Lan's and Yan Liang's troops. They did not go forward to fight first, but pursued them from a distance and sent a message to summon the commander to come for reinforcements.
This is a wonderful strategy for dealing with elite soldiers and cavalry. The demise of Shi Dakai in the Qing Dynasty and the defeat of the Northern Red Turbans in the late Yuan Dynasty were all restrained by this strategy.
Zhang He received the news from the tribe and quickly led his army northward, pressing Sinong's cavalry towards the foothills of Taihang Mountain.
This army obviously wanted to use the rugged terrain to limit Cao's attack.
The young man was not afraid and led his troops into Jingxing Road in Taihang Mountain, making a gesture of marching straight into Bingzhou.
Zhang He thought that Cao Jun had miscalculated, and was overjoyed. He ordered his tens of thousands of elite cavalry to pursue them with all their strength. The two armies, one behind the other, had already been riding in the heavy rain for several days!
Jingxing Road was originally divided into two roads, the north and the south. The terrain of the north road was slightly flatter, and Fang Guangda's army entered the foothills of the Taihang Mountains from here.
The young man expected that Zhang He would seal off the east and west exits and starve Cao's cavalry to death in the barren mountains. The army circled in a circle, pretending to be marching north to Lingshou.
In fact, a thousand cavalrymen returned to the exit of Jingxing Road East Road and the banks of Mianhe River in heavy rain.
The heavy rain was heavy, and it was very difficult for Cao Jun and Yuan Jun's cavalry to overtake them on the mountain road. Today, the rain was a little lighter. The young man suddenly stopped the army and camped by the Mian River to rest and recover their strength.
Yuan Jun was extremely cautious on this route, and the general who led the army was much stronger than Gao Lan at first glance.
Zhao Yun and Guan Hai beside Fang Guang both knew that this lone army had reached its most dangerous moment.
After the two men patrolled the camp, they wanted to persuade the young man to take dozens of dead soldiers away from the foothills of Taihang Mountain and go to Bingzhou first. However, they found that Mr. Sinong was standing quietly by the river, watching the fish playing deep in the Taihang Mountains under the gentle drizzle.
View of the pond.
"Datong, I didn't expect that Datong loves the Taihang mountains and rivers so much. When I was in Changshan, I couldn't hold myself back in the mountains so hard!"
Zhao Yun, in white robe, walked away slowly, looking at the landscape scenery he had been accustomed to seeing since childhood, with a warmth flashing in his eyes.
"Brother, we can't stay in this place any longer. It's full of mountains. If Yuan Jun catches up with us, there will be no conflict between our troops and their horses!"
"Ma De, when I was in Qingzhou, I was wandering around the mountain nests with the army, but I never saw Zilong's hometown with such continuous mountains. It's better to leave this place as soon as possible!"
"Datong, the brothers who just explored the North Road reported back that Zhang He's armor and horses have already blocked the mountain pass to Lingshou. This son is very cautious in using his troops. Si Nong is a man of ten thousand gold. How can I accompany him in danger here?"
of?"
"Datong will lead the brothers to go first. General Guan and I will fight with Zhang He's cavalry!"
Zhao Yun, Guan Hai and Fang Guang were the closest, so they naturally knew that Sinong's temper was gentle and gentle on weekdays, but in fact, he was the most persistent in the big plans he had set in his heart.
The two of them said something to each other, but they just persuaded Fang Guang to leave first. Young Sinong was so smart that he had already guessed what these two people were thinking. He looked at the mountain stream in front of him and shook his head with a chuckle.
"Why go? Zhang He is most cautious when using his troops. He will not lead his troops into the forest valleys in his life, but he will eventually die in the forest valleys!"
"Forcing me? Humph, couldn't it be that I hung him up and led him to this Jingxing Road?"
"Do you two know that the three founding heroes of the Han Dynasty, the Marquis of Huaiyin, Han Xin, once defeated Zhang Er Zhao's army by the Mian River and fought a back-and-forth battle, and he also fought against the mountains and rivers of Changshan?"
"When our army enters Bingzhou, if there are other Xiongnu tribes in front and Jizhou elites behind, it will be very dangerous. This Taihang Mountain is the place where I set up Zhang He's defeat!"
"Zhang Junyi is surprisingly good at guarding dangers when using troops. I have determined that the elite Harrier Cavalry is somewhere in the highland valley east of Mianhe, not far from our cavalry."
"Look at the sky, the rain will stop tomorrow. Although the mountain is dangerous, it is not a place without any cavalry attack. The Mian River and its valleys are the place to defeat the enemy!"
"Tell the brothers, I want to eat fish!"
When the young man said this, he looked at the water of the Mian River in front of him, and a bright light flashed in his eyes.
He turned back on his horse, urged Red Rabbit, and headed straight for the river. Sure enough, the water in the Taihang Mountains was very gentle, and Red Rabbit passed by in an instant. On that early summer day, the water in the Mianhe River was only submerged under Red Rabbit's calves. Just half an inch of space!
Sinong's guess was very accurate, or it could be said that Fang Guang was more familiar with Zhang He's temperament than he himself was, with the blessing of the history books of the Three Kingdoms.
As one of the famous generals of the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Junyi, who had lived almost all the way from Guandu to Wuzhangyuan, had the most material for analysis in the young mind.
Having seen through Zhang He's heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, the army was indeed west of the Mian River. When he heard that Cao's army suddenly stopped and camped on the bank of the river, Jun Yi's heart suddenly blossomed with relief.
The last single seedling in the Four Courtyard Pillars knew clearly in his heart that Cao Jun suddenly stopped. It was obvious that he was unable to escape and was fighting to the death.
He was extremely thoughtful and collected testimonials from people in Jizhou who had witnessed the young man's figure. When he heard about the unusually tall red horse and his extremely handsome face, he had already vaguely guessed Fang Guang's identity!
Cao Cao's number one minion, Kaifu Yitong Sansi, and Fang Guang, the commander of the Central Guard Army, may have been trapped in the Taihang cage!
Whenever he thought of the lord of Yecheng, when he received the news of Fang Guang's head or the capture of Sinong, Zhang He seemed to be the happiest man in the world with his bright smile.
He doesn't know that the lord who will never fall in his heart fainted on the spot during the Yecheng court meeting half a month ago, and is still resting in the mansion, not knowing whether he is alive or dead!
After receiving the news, Yuan Tan from Qingzhou returned to Jizhou without orders. Now Yecheng is really busy.
Since Cao Jun had stopped, it was natural that the hidden card was played out. That night, Zhang He also ordered the main force of his troops, three thousand Harrier cavalry and two thousand Jizhou cavalry, to have a good rest and wait for hunting with Sinong tomorrow.
After a night of nothing, at twilight of the next day, Changshan County, which had been gloomy for twenty days, ushered in the long-lost sunrise.
The eastern sun shines on the surface of the Mianhe River. Probably the two most elite cavalrymen in Kyushu today began to form formation across the Mianhe River to face the enemy.
Zhang He, holding a long spear in his white horse and black armor, proudly came to the Mianhe River. Looking at the young man riding a tall horse with a calm face, he bit his lower lip to hold back his laughter.
"Si Nong Fang Datong, I never thought that the one who harasses Hebei is actually you, the Yellow Turban Colonel!"
"You are a lucky little thief, but you fell out of love with Xuchang. Why did Cao Cao deliberately send you to this desperate place?"
"My lord Yuan Shao is a man who cherishes his talents. If you kneel down and ask for surrender, you may not be killed on the spot!"
Zhang He thought he was successful and babbled for a while, but Fang Guang, who was facing him, had a troubled look on his face. He waited for him to finish talking trash before he casually replied.
