Rangers of the Three Kingdoms - C406

“Lord Thorn, Kong Rong, Gong Lin, using the support of the Hussar General Yang Lin, you dare to ignore the orders of the Lord Thorn, you are truly detestable.” Jiao He’s other occupation, Jiang Huan, frowned in disgust, and said coldly: “Especially Kong Rong, who called himself a great sage, who called himself a loyal man, but was attached to Yang Lin’s rebellious theory of electing the Emperor.”

Jiao He waved his hand and interrupted Jiang Huan. Although he hated Kong Rong, Gong Lin, Gong Yi and the others, he did not have any good impressions towards the ruined Liu’s Empire. “The reason why he sent out his troops wasn’t to save the big man, the Son of Heaven. He just wanted to take advantage of this chaotic world to earn some money.” It’s fine if the Three Countryside s of the Plains, the North Sea, and the Eastern Flower Region do not come, but we have three ten thousand people s that are enough. ”

“Lord Thorn, even though Qingzhou Yellow Scarf was defeated, they were all hidden within Mt. If the entire army were to go to Jujube, the Qingzhou would certainly be empty, and the Ant bandit would take the chance to cause chaos, what should we do? ” As more than half of the county soldiers of Ji Nan, Le An, and Qi had been sent away, the Zhang Ji couldn’t help but worry for the safety of the Qingzhou.

“Although the various Countryside have transferred many of their soldiers, they are still more than enough to defend themselves in the city.” Jiao He smiled and said confidently: “The Ant bandit lost a lot of troops, and suffered heavy casualties. They might recover in a short period of time, so I believe they won’t dare to come out to seek death.”

It was a wide valley with a clear stream of stone in the middle. A clear spring was flowing slowly, and occasionally a mountain breeze would blow past. The water would touch the stone and make a gurgling sound.

Suddenly, a group of cavalrymen galloped over, breaking the silence of the valley. The leader was a tall and sturdy man. His bronze colored face was filled with determination, and his pair of big eyes were bright and spirited. He was nine feet tall, with a big and round waist, and held a long spear in his hand.

“Clank, clank, clank …”

A burst of rapid gong sound rang out, startling the wild birds in the forest to soar into the sky. Immediately, over ten thousand soldiers with yellow scarves on their heads rushed out from the back of the mountain, blocking the cavalry’s path. A burly man came out from the line of soldiers and came to the front of the two lines.

“So it’s Guan Hai, Guan Hai, the Grand Commander, you and I have always kept our distance from each other. I wonder how the Grand Commander managed to have such a free time, and came to our Coiling Dragon Mountain to fight rabbits?”

“Hahahaha …” How would I have the time to hit a rabbit! ” The man called Guan Hai was none other than the yellow scarfed Grand Commander. Taking advantage of the chaos within the Darky Court, he led his fellow villagers to revolt and loot their homes. He laughed loudly and said loudly: “Grand Commander Zhang, I have a huge business plan and would like to ask for a few helpers. I wonder if Grand Commander Zhang is interested?”

“Oh …” Who cares what kind of big deal the Grand Commander has, do you need me to help you? ” The one called Zhang Grand Commander was Zhang Rao who had attacked North Sea. After being defeated by Gong Yi in North Sea, he had also escaped to Mt. Tai and moved around Mt.

“Has Grand Commander Zhang heard of it? Qingzhou Acanthopanax has collected more than thirty thousand troops and horses, as well as three months of rations and fodder. We are preparing to leave for Sour Date City, and will be leaving in a few days. ” Guan Hai laughed and said loudly: “We brothers have been suffering for a long time, how about we take this grain together?”

“Who cares what spirit the Grand Commander has, this is indeed a big deal!” Of course, Zhang Rao had also heard of Jiao He’s imminent departure, but he planned to wait until Jiao He left before attacking Qingzhou. “I didn’t expect Guan Hai to be so ambitious, actually having ideas about Jiao He.” However, you have over a hundred thousand troops under your command.

“Cough …” It’s true that I have tens of thousands of men under my command, but you also know that the majority of them are farmers who haven’t fought in battle yet. Although Guan Hai was brave and fierce, he was not a reckless person. He had fought with the Qingzhou many times, of course he knew the fighting strength of the County soldier.

“This transaction is good, but with Jiao and the soldiers from the other counties gathered together, I heard there are thirty thousand of them. I’m afraid they won’t be easy to deal with …” Zhang Rao wanted to eat the meat, but he was afraid of scalding his hands. He had also suffered a loss to the County soldier before, so he didn’t want to offend them no matter what.

“To be honest, before I came to look for you, I had already made an appointment with Xu and Grand Commander. He has already agreed to work together. As long as you agree, the combined forces of our three families will amount to more than three hundred thousand. I do not believe that even if one of us ten were to fight against one of them, the Qingzhou Government Army would not be annihilated. ” Guan Hai tightened his grip on the spear in his hand, and said angrily.

“Oh …” Grand Commander Xu wants to collaborate? ” Zhang Rao’s heart trembled, he immediately felt that Guan Hai was planning something. There were dozens of different sized xanthopanax s around Mt. Tai, but the ones with real strength were only Guan Hai, Zhang Rao, Xu and the three other tribes. Guan Hai was taking advantage of the opportunity to attack Jiao He, joining the three yellow scarves together!

Zhang Rao was also clear that only by joining forces with the Qingzhou Yellow Scarf Army would they be able to stand up and compete with the officials. But Guan Hai had the numbers advantage, and after the alliance, he would listen to him, Zhang Rao was not willing to accept it. He thought for a moment and asked tentatively, “If our three families join forces and take down Jiao He, how will we split the debt?”

“Our three families must join hands and work together to advance or retreat together! If we beat Jiao He, our three families will split it evenly, how about that? ” Guan Hai smiled and threw out a huge bait. As long as they could unite the three families, it would be worth it to pay them some food.

“Alright, it’s a deal!” Zhang Rao and Xu He’s men numbered less than a hundred thousand, but Guan Hai had more men with him than they did, and now that Guan Hai had agreed to divide it equally with them, Zhang Rao immediately felt that Guan Hai was a straightforward person, able to form a partnership with him.

The troops of Qingzhou Ji Nan, Le An, and Qi all gathered at the impending disaster, causing both anxiety and ambition to rise in an instant. On one hand, he had sent a report to the world, claiming that he wanted to suppress Dong Zhuo and save the big man. On the other hand, he begged the ghosts to worship the gods, offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, and choosing the auspicious day to send troops to kill his subordinates.

On the sixth day of the sixth month of the sixth month in the year 3190 of the Central Origin (the first year of the new era, AD 190), it was a good day to send troops. Jiao He brought thirty thousand of the Qingzhou’s army and departed from the impending disaster, passing through Ji Nan and preparing to cross the Zishui River and enter the Yanzhou.

There were more than thirty thousand Qingzhou Government Army s gathered, and wherever they went, the robbers and grass bandits would flee. It had to be said that the Qingzhou had always been rich, so the equipment used was very good. Furthermore, the people of the Qingzhou were tall and sturdy, and the quality of their soldiers was not ordinary. If the Qingzhou Government Army commanded correctly, they would be an elite division.

When he arrived at the Zishui River’s side, it was a cloudy, rainy day. He looked at the dusky sky on the other side of the Zishui River and could not help but frown: “Lord Thorn, the battle method: You must not travel through water. Now that the Ant bandit is hidden in Mt. Tai, if they were to attack us while we are halfway across, our army will definitely have a hard time fighting them. ”

“That makes sense! Order Li Ran to command three thousand cavalrymen to cross the river and search the area thirty Li west of Zishui River to see if there are any ambushes there. ” Jiao He was a cautious person, hearing Zhang Ji’s words, he immediately nodded. He could not possibly be attacked by the xanthopanax halfway across the river. Order the army to set up camp on the spot, and wait for the enemy to find out before making any plans. ”

Not only was Jiao He careful, he was also patient. Furthermore, he was in no hurry to get to Chu Cheng. He waited at the edge of the Zishui River for two days, the horsemen searched around, and after confirming that there were no xanthopanax in the west, he ordered the army to cross the river.

In that one day, he only went through ten thousand people, and on the second day, he went through ten thousand more. On the third day, he only started to move the rations across the river, and it took him five days to go through all of the Zishui River.

The rolling hills, the low shrubs, the wide blue sky, the icy full moon in the sky, the moon running like water across the earth, the hazy moonlight pouring over the mountains, the moonlight seemed to be pulsing in every bush. Under the silver moonlight, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers advanced slightly, touching the Zishui River in front of them.

“Grand Commander Xu, your foresight is godly …” In the hazy moonlight, Guan Hai, Zhang Rao, and Xu He immediately went back up the hill, watching the army march towards the east. Guan Hai looked at Xu He, and sighed sincerely: “I never thought that Jiao He would actually be under your command, and actually be camping in the west side of Zishui River.”

Although Xu He was also a general with a yellow mask, he was still a scholar. He had once been a scribe and was quite shrewd. He had also seen how the big man was on the verge of death, so he wanted to take the opportunity to achieve great things. However, he took another path and put up the flag of the Yellow Mask.

“He would never take the risk of going in lightly if he was timid, so it would be very difficult to get halfway through or to ambush him. However, he believes in ghosts and gods, and the way to march and fight depends entirely on divination. Tomorrow is a day that isn’t suitable for him to travel, he will definitely be resting by the side of the Zishui River for a day, and it is time for us to attack. ”

“Hahahaha …” Tomorrow morning at dawn, our three hundred thousand strong army will attack. I want to see if the ghosts he worships will protect him. ” Zhang Rao threw his head back and laughed, the laughter was so loud and clear that the soldiers who were marching turned around to look.

It was just dawn, a group of cavalry had already entered the temporary camp of the Qingzhou Government Army. They quickly arrived at the Big Account of Jiao He and shouted anxiously, “Reporting … Lord Thorn, Tarzan’s Yellow Scarf Army has already forced his way into Jishui Lake, they are only a few dozen miles away from our camp. ”

“What?” The Tarzan’s Yellow Scarf Army is only a few dozen kilometers away? ” Jiao He was shocked and quickly got up from the bed. Due to his panic, he didn’t put on the clothes even after a few times. He angrily kicked away the guard, turned around, and cursed, “Bastard, why have you waited so long to report this?”

“Lord Thorn, did you order for us to be on guard for thirty miles during the day and ten miles at night?” The cavalry microchieftain also felt wronged, afraid that Jiao He would kill them out of anger.

“You …” Jiao He was infuriated, but thinking that he had indeed ordered it himself, he could only hold back the anger in his heart. He waved his hand and almost shouted, “Gather all the cavalry, we have to hold them off for a while and wait for the formation of the army.”

“Lord Thorn, I’m afraid that he won’t be able to hold on …” That microchieftain had a sullen face, his voice was already starting to tremble: “This time, Guan Hai, Zhang Rao, Xu and the three Ant bandit are coming at the same time. Their soldiers cover the sky, there are at least three hundred thousand of them …”
