Chapter 101 Yi Zhen's Death

In February of the first year of Zhongping, Huangfu Song was ordered to fight against the rebels in Yingchuan.

The five Northern Army soldiers (Tunqi, Yueqi, infantry, Changshui, Shooting) and Sanhe (Henan, Hedong, Henoi) were recruited, with more than 60,000 people gathered in Guancheng, and on February 13, they made an appointment with Zhu Jun, the Right General of the Army, to attack.

Zhu Jun's troops walked through Chenliu, Qiao County, and headed straight to Nanyang; while Huangfu Song attacked Yingchuan in order to attract the attention of the Yellow Turban Army.

Huangfu Song, who was just over forty years, had his ancestors served as the General of Du Liao and was from a serious military family.

He was strong in nature and even more jealous of evil. Shortly after entering Yingchuan, he met the Yellow Turban Army and his team.

The two sides fought fiercely on the banks of Yingshui River.

After nearly ten days of hard fighting, Huangfu Song finally defeated Bo Cai and won his first big victory after entering Yingchuan.

On the banks of Yingshui River, the setting sun is like blood.

Countless dead bodies were stacked there, and the war horses were wailing in a sarcastic whine on the battlefield, as if looking for their dead master.

Huangfu Song climbed a high hill and looked into the distance.

The cheeks were like a knife and axe chopping, with the edges and corners particularly distinct. The wind had a pungent smell of blood, but it made Huangfu Song feel very comfortable. It has been a long time since I smelled such a smell, and it seemed that I had returned to the years of fighting with foreigners at the border.

This time, perhaps the last chance in his life.

Huangfu Song knew very well that if it weren't for the Taiping Rebellion, he might be where he would be now and be a leisurely little official.

At the core, he looked down on the officials in the court. He was doing nothing and was calculating all day long, but no one had ever considered the emperor or the Han Dynasty. After taking another deep breath, Huangfu Song said, "Where is the Sima of the Army?"

"Will it be there?"

"Order the army to stop cleaning the battlefield and continue to march towards Wan County. I will arrive in Wan County within ten days."

"Here!"

Military Sima immediately went down to convey the order.

Huangfu Song was still standing on the high hill, in the setting sun, like a straight and vigorous ancient pine tree.

Wan County... I lost news twenty days ago. It is said that the entire Nanyang was captured by rebels. I wonder how Wan County is?

Huangfu Song couldn't help but feel worried, although he never showed any emotions in front of his hands.

Wan County has the family of the general. It is said that the general's father, Old Lady He, still lives in the city of Wan County. If Wan County is captured by thieves, I am afraid that the He family, as a royal relative, will of course be just a relative of the foreign country, and it will be difficult to preserve it.

Before leaving Luoyang, He Jin made a special trip to ask Huangfu Song.

If Huangfu Song didn't take He Jin very seriously, then he would have to listen to the words of the Grand Tutor Yuan Wei.

"Yizhen, Suigao is the key to our elimination of eunuchs. If we can rescue his father, Suigao will definitely be extremely grateful to us. Therefore, I beg you to do everything and ensure that He Taigong's safety is necessary."

It can be seen that Yuan Wei really cares about Wan County.

Of course, he did not care about the safety of Wan County, but about a person in the town of Wan County.

It's time to do it, and he's still calculating? Huangfu Song is so fucked, but he can't refuse.

*******

According to Huangfu Song's plan, since the main force of the rebels has been defeated, he will definitely arrive in Wan County within ten days.

But no one expected that after Bo Cai was defeated, he gathered tens of thousands of troops again in just a few days, blocking Huangfu Song's path forward. It has to be said that the Five Northern Army Colleges, as the Central Standing Army, had amazing combat effectiveness.

Most of Bo Cai's men were temporarily gathered in a mob. As soon as the two sides contacted each other, they were at a disadvantage.

Then, the Hanoi cavalry attacked from both sides, and Ling Bo was defeated again.

After losing thousands of corpses by the Yingshui River, they dispersed. Bo Cai escaped with the desperate protection of his personal army.

Okay, after two major defeats, I believe the Yellow Turban Army should also understand the gap between the two sides.

Just as Huangfu Song was preparing his troops and was about to order a marching force, Bo appeared again, bringing tens of thousands of reassembled mobs.

"Ants, these damn ants!"

Huangfu Song finally got angry.

I defeated you twice, and I was too lazy to pay attention to you twice, but these damn locusts don't know how to live or die. They come out to die again and again. Well, since you want to die, I will fulfill your wishes.

Huangfu Song led his army to attack and defeated Bo Cai outside Yingyin City.

However, this time, he was not going to let the other party go. He ordered the five schools to repair the place in Yingyin, and then took the eight thousand three river cavalry to pursue the victory. This time, these locusts must be eliminated no matter what, so as to save trouble again.

Bocai was carrying his men and horses, as anxious as a dog who was stranded.

He fled along Yingshui in a hurry. He could hardly get any repairs along the way. As soon as he took a breath, the cavalry behind him caught up.

He gritted his teeth and continued running, and Bo Cai cursed Chu Yan's ancestors all over the eighteen generations in his heart.

When fighting, there are no such twists and turns? After three battles, tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Army corpses crossed the Yingshui River. Although most of these people were temporarily gathered from the Yingchuan area, not his direct subordinates. But no matter what, everyone is a church member and everyone is suffering. After so many people died, wouldn’t Chu Yan feel sorry for him?

Bo Cai is a bit straightforward and not very smart.

He felt a little uncomfortable to obey Chu Yan's orders. However, for the great cause of General God, this was nothing.

Therefore, he happily handed over the people in his hand to Chu Yan.

He himself led the mobs he had temporarily gathered together to desperately stop Huangfu Song.

In Chu Yan's words, "General Bo Cai, your task is very simple. It is to anger Huangfu Song and to anger Huangfu Song at all costs. It doesn't matter how many people you lose, but what is important is whether you can bring him to the banks of the Yinma River. If you succeed, you will have the first contribution; but if you fail, don't blame Feiyan's military law, don't blame me then."

Drinking Mahe, Drinking Mahe...

Bo had only been running for a day and two nights. Huangfu Song behind him was still following like a shadow, and he would not give up until he took his life.

“How far is it from Yinma River?”

"Ship Qu, twenty miles ahead, it's the Yinmahe River!"

When Bo, who was already exhausted, heard it, he was immediately excited, "Tell me brothers, if you work harder, we will be safe!"

Huangfu Song led 8,000 cavalry to pursue the battle, killing countless Yellow Turban soldiers.

He was about to catch up with Bo Cai, but when he arrived at the Yinma River, he found a large camp of Yellow Turban Army on the other side of the river. Bo Cai hid in the camp with his remaining defeated soldiers and defeated generals. He couldn't figure out how many troops the other party had, but it seemed that the number of people should not be too large. Maybe this is a gathering place for the Yellow Turban Army, which just happened to be eliminated.

But it was already very late, and the cavalry under his command seemed very tired after chasing them all the way.

The other party's camp seemed to be ready. After thinking for a while, Huangfu Song decided to set up a camp temporarily and launch an attack after dawn. If these locusts are eliminated, he will probably go to Wan County and there will be no obstacles again.

So, eight thousand cavalry temporarily took arrows to the camp and repaired them on the other side of the Yinma River.

In the camps on the other side, drums sounded from time to time. It should be that the thief was gathering people to discuss countermeasures.

Huangfu Song did not rest in the big tent, but stood by the river and looked at the brightly lit camp on the other side.

When the anger passed, he began to feel something was wrong. Is the traitor coach a fool?

Even though I knew I couldn't beat me, I was going to die.

If it were me, I would definitely let the main force go, and then constantly raid their defense line and break the fast food route.

Yingchuan has now become a paradise for rebels, and most of the government troops have shrunk into several solid cities and dare not come out.

It is equivalent to that after the imperial court entered Yingchuan, the food route became very dangerous. Without Yuan Wei's orders and He Jin's request, Huangfu Song would never pay attention to the rash attack. On the contrary, he would step by step, wipe out the main force of the thieves in Yingchuan area, and then march towards Wan County. Unfortunately, he could only take the risk of marching now.

No, there seems to be a problem here.

Huangfu Song frowned and looked at the camp on the other side, then looked at the Yinma River, which had a very smooth water.

Strangely, why is there so little water in Yinmahe?

"Come!"

Huangfu Song suddenly thought of something and immediately called his generals, "Take people to the camp on the other side to take a look."

The general shivered, "General, do you mean to attack the enemy camp? But they are not sleeping yet!"

"If you want to go, just go, don't talk so much!"

It is difficult to disobey the military orders. Even if the generals were reluctant, they had to order all their troops and secretly wade through the Yinma River and rush straight to the other party's camp. The river water was only as deep as the horse's legs and knees... Huangfu Song felt a thump in his heart, as if he understood.

"The whole army gathers together, the whole army gathers together!"

Realizing that he was fooled, Huangfu Song shouted loudly. The soldiers who had run all day opened their eyes in a daze, cursing Huangfu Song secretly while getting on the horse. But Huangfu Song didn't care much at this time and urged loudly.

Almost at the same time, the general who had crossed the river found that the other party had no reaction after approaching the camp on the other side.

I was surprised in my heart, and I gritted my teeth and rushed over.

The gate of the camp was a false door, and two guards stood at the door. The cavalry rushed over and cut off the heads of the guards before they found that they were two straw men. I realized something was wrong in my heart, so the general rushed into the camp.

I only saw torches lighted everywhere, there was a circle of war drums in the middle of the camp, and sheep were hung on it.

The sound of drums comes from this. There is no one in the entire camp.

"Not good, I've been fooled!"

The general immediately with his men out of the camp and shouted loudly on the other side of the river: "General, it is an empty camp, this is an empty camp!"

Before he finished speaking, a roar came from the upper reaches of Yinma River.

Just like the river of heaven breaks, the two people's high water walls roar and rushing towards each other. Huangfu Song didn't hear the shouts of the generals on the other side, but he understood what was going on.

Now it is approaching the flood season, and the water level in Yinma River cannot be so low.
