Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Zhou Junzhong's army learned about the military situation very quickly, obviously faster than Brother Yeluxiu expected.

In the simple and rough signing room of the Xuanren City Palace, Guo Shao neatly classified all kinds of news and put them on the table. Among them were crumpled and dirty little notes, which were removed from the legs of the pigeons.

The affairs of the Zhou army's various cities and ministries were very large, but the military information about Brother Yeluxiu was all sent directly to the emperor's hands immediately. Among them are the undercover agents deployed by Bing Cao Si in various places, the secret sentry arranged by the Qianying military mansion, and the informants of the Han generals of the Liao Kingdom.

A group of officials below, some of them are writing hard, recording news with complicated inferences. Wei Renpu reported: "According to the news reported by various parties, I think it can be confirmed that the strength of the Liao army going south is 30,000 cavalry, 10,000 elite soldiers in the palace tent, and the leader is Brother Yeluxiu.

Last night at Haishi (after nine o'clock in the evening), Guizhou, located in the upper reaches of the Sanggan River in the northwest of Youzhou, was building a pontoon bridge; this morning at Yinshi, Yeluxiu's troops left Tanzhou.

The minister speculated that Brother Yeluxiu wanted to cross the river from Guizhou to the south, with the intention of harassing the Da Zhou army's food road; therefore, he came out from the west to avoid the Da Zhou cavalry. "

Guo Shao felt that he had a chance, but also felt a surge of anger, "The Zhou army is densely packed in the north and south river cities, brother Yeluxiu is so bold!"

This guy really doesn't take Lao Tzu seriously? !

Wei Renpu also shared the same hatred with the enemy and said: "This man is making a dangerous move, and he is looking for a dead end!"

Guo Shaoqiang suppressed his anger and impetuousness, and when he raised his head, he looked at the maps beside him. There was a whole row of maps, large and small, hanging on the wooden shelf next to him! In front of him, there was a thick and large file. Looking through the catalog, he found a small map of Guizhou, and there was a description based on the spies' inquiries.

Guo Shao picked up the pen, quickly scribbled and drew on the pamphlet, and said calmly: "Immediately arrange the encirclement|suppression of Brother Yeluxiu, we must make careful arrangements, and this time we cannot let him run away again."

...

To the north of Xiong and Ba, the land is very flat, and the water surface of the river is even with the land. From a distance, the fleet of ships moving slowly on the river seems to be traveling on land, very conspicuous.

A general on the ship received the military order and looked at it, his face suddenly changed, looking back to the left and right, he said coldly: "Military order, set fire to all the grain ships!"

People were taken aback when they heard this, and there was an uproar.

The general handed the military order to the two lieutenants and the civilian officer: "You all determine the military order together."

A few people took a look at the scribe and messenger who sent the military order. The scribe was a member of the Privy Council, and the civil servants present knew each other; the messenger was the general's personal soldier and an acquaintance. The military order has the seal of the military government, Guo Shao and Wei Renpu's personal approval...there is nothing wrong with this military order.

As long as the military order of the Chinese army is determined, the general does not care how strange and unreasonable the order is! Dang even ordered: "Call all the leaders and order to set fire to the ship!"

...In a high-walled courtyard in Xuanren City, a civil servant led a group of soldiers to ask someone to open the gate of the village, and hurried in. In the low houses inside, a group of men, women and children with disheveled hair soon came out to watch the open gate.

The civil servant went straight into a separate house, and the soldiers stood inside and outside wearing strong and sharp clothes.

After a while, a bald black|rough man wearing animal skins was caught in. The civil servant said in jerky Khitan words: "Ulu Ben, the ranch guard of the Youzhou Army of the Liao Kingdom, was captured in September of the second year of Xuanren."

"Yes, yes." The bald man Urubben bowed his chest, not daring to resist. "The last general only guarded the pasture for the South Courtyard. He has never done anything bad, let alone killed Zhou people..."

As soon as he opened his mouth to speak, a mouthful of badly worn big yellow teeth appeared in his mouth.

The civil servant ignored it, and said coldly: "Now you have a new identity. You are the scout leader under the Youzhou Army, under the control of Xiao Abudi, and your name is Delie. Anyway, you are an insignificant person, Brother Yeluxiu will not be able to find you for a while."

Uruben looked at him in astonishment.

The civil official pointed to the outside and said, "You have to do a very easy job for Da Zhou. If you don't want to or play tricks, your subordinates, brothers, wives and children will be executed and questioned! As long as you do it well, the emperor will reward you with money and let you all go back to your hometown."

"What are you doing?" Uruben asked with a stare.

At this time, the two soldiers threw the armor, weapons, accessories and other things on the ground with a bang, and the official said: "Put it on quickly! It's very simple, someone will take you out and show you the direction, then you ride over to find the Liao army brigade, and tell the generals of the Liao army what I taught you. When you have a chance, you slip away."

...

Just after noon, on the north bank of the Juma River. Brother Yeluxiu rode his horse to the south, and not long after, he saw the fire on the river rising into the sky, and the sky was full of smoke! The river was burning, as if a wall of fire had appeared over the green fields.

A general next to him said: "Zhou Jun is afraid of a general like a tiger, and when he heard the news, he was so frightened that he burned the food and grass! Although we didn't grab it, it was more trouble-free, and it also played a role!"

Brother Yeluxiu cursed angrily, acted very decisively, and immediately shouted: "Order the whole army to go east and rob the Cao Canal!"

On the flat field between the north and south defense lines of the Zhou army, the Liao army spread out and galloped on the open ground, like a herd of migrating horses, with roaring hoofs, very arrogant.

Brother Yeluxiu was on the right wing, and even saw the "New City" on the north bank of the Juma River from a distance, and its shadow stood tall in the sky. This is the territory controlled by Zhou Jun, and he no longer needs to hide anything.

In less than an hour, the Liao army arrived eastward at the Caoqu River section between "Jinzhou" and "Xuanren City". On the canal, there is also a long row of ships, standing like clouds and sails, like a barrier in front of them. The rivers on this side of Hebei are relatively small. In some areas, the man-made rivers are very shallow, and you can wade through the water on foot. You dare not have too big or heavy boats sailing. The boats on the river are relatively small, but there are many.

The vanguard of the Liao army accelerated its march, the cavalry galloped happily, and a large number of people and horses rushed straight to the river bank. While riding the horse, the cavalry had already taken off the bow and arrow, and leaned forward.

Unexpectedly, before approaching the river bank, a neat row of Zhou soldiers suddenly appeared on the deck. "Crackling..." There was a sound of strings, and the crossbow flew towards the wind.

From time to time, someone on the galloping horse screamed and rolled down, making a loud bang.

The front army of the Liao army rushed up and couldn't stop immediately. They rushed to the bank facing the crossbow arrows and then turned around. They rode and shot arrows one after another, and the firecrackers on the boat rang again, crackling and smoke filled the air. The sound was very loud and scary. However, they missed a few people. There was a lot of shouting on the shore, and there was a lot of noise.

Brother Yeluxiu approached on horseback, looking at the situation by the river with a livid face.

The general said: "Zhou Jun has long been prepared!"

Brother Yeluxiu didn't catch anything in the Juma River first, and then he saw the fire; when he rushed here, his nose was ashes again, and his heart was even more blocked!

He said coldly: "It is impossible for the southerners to prepare in advance. I just passed Yanshan yesterday, unless he is the worm in my stomach, how can I guess in advance what I want to do and where to fight?"

The generals saw that it would be unfavorable to come, so they hurriedly persuaded: "Let's turn around and go first, and find another time to attack!"

Brother Yeluxiu also had this plan. The cavalry of the Zhou army was still in the north of Youzhou and Wenyu River last night. Although they can't get anything now, the Zhou army can't do anything to him for a while.

"Fuck!" Brother Yeluxiu was furious. see|ghost! Could it be that Zhou Jun is so clever that everything has been calculated in advance? Then why burn the grain on the Juma River in such a haste? \u003c
