Jade and Xianyufu turned over and galloped away.

Li Hong laughed loudly and said to Tian Chong: "Old man, if the Yellow Turban Army really attacks, you will be a premonition."

Tian Chong touched his beard and said proudly: "I have fought for decades and I am not as good as you in the dispatch of troops, but this experience in fighting will definitely be better than you."

Zhao Yun, with a serious expression, stood beside the two of them. Seeing Li Hong and Tian Chong calm down, he was still talking and laughing at this time, and he admired him very much. He wanted to calm down, but his heart was beating violently and felt a little suffocated. He had a strong impulse, wanting to jump on his horse immediately and fight with his gun.

He joined the army for less than half a year and had been a guard behind the prefect and did not participate in any battles. Following Lord Li Han to break through from Zhending City was the first battle he experienced and the first bloody battle. Later, he followed Li Han to the north and fought several battles with the Sporadic Yellow Turban Army, but they were all small battles of dozens of people.

That day, the troops at the foot of Xionger Mountain were surrounded by Black Panther. Li Han was outnumbered, and Zhao Yun, the best martial arts in the army, fought alone. Li Han wanted to use Zhao Yun's outstanding martial arts to challenge several good players, and the troops took the opportunity to break through. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun encountered the famous tiger head in Hebei for the first time when he went alone. He had never participated in a big battle. He was eager to fight the battlefield behind the famous leopard and make a name for himself.

What an exciting thing was that a cavalry army of thousands of people rushed on the endless plain. Zhao Yun held the sword tightly, and his palms began to sweat.

Li Hong suddenly heard his slightly heavy breathing and smiled at him, "Zilong, relax."

Zhao Yun's face turned red, feeling a little embarrassed by his excessive tension.

Li Hong walked to him and patted his shoulder intimately and said, "The war between thousands and tens of thousands of troops is not like the battle between hundreds of people in Xionger Mountain that day. There is a big difference between them. The small battle of hundreds of people, the martial arts and courage of the soldiers, and the cooperation between everyone is very important, and the key to victory. However, the war emphasizes the dispatch of troops and formations, requires flexible command, and requires tacit cooperation between various departments. Each person's strength and courage are no longer useful."

"Zilong, fight a few more battles, watch the battlefield where bloody and bloody corpses are everywhere, and you will immediately become a brave and good warrior." Tian Chong said indifferently, "After a long time, you will get used to fighting."

A scout came in a hurry.

"What's going on?" Zheng Xin asked angrily, "Why did this happen again? What about the scout twenty miles away?"

The scout was startled when he saw Zheng Xin getting angry.

"Sir, it is the troops of Hejian Kingdom who came to carry food and grass." The scout replied in a hurry.

Li Hong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this trip was lucky, so he would come whatever he wanted.

When Zheng Xin heard that it was his own person, a hanging heart immediately fell to the ground, and his expression immediately turned angry and joyful.

"They came from behind us, and they came from the small road. Our scouts were all on the main road, so they ignored it." The scout explained nervously.

Zheng Xin nodded understandingly, waved his hand and said, "Be careful, be careful. You go."

Li Hong turned to Zheng Xin and said solemnly: "When he arrived in Hebei, the mountains, rivers, villages and cities were different from those in the northern border. You should urge the scouts to adapt to the environment in time. This negligence cannot be achieved again."

Zheng Xin blushed and said softly: "We have noticed it when we were in Beixin City, but the changes are too great, and the scouts also need a familiar process, so it is inevitable that there will be a lot of secrets."

Li Hong himself was a scout, so of course he knew the difficulties of scouts.

"If possible, recruit some soldiers in Hebei to supplement the scout." Li Hong said to Zheng Xin: "The officers in Hejian Country are very capable of transporting food and grass. If it is an enemy, we will be caught off guard today."

Zheng Xin smiled bitterly and said, "He is a powerful character. Last time Chu Feiyan almost ate us, another one appeared this time. It is said that Hebei is a place with outstanding people and talented people. It is true that I have witnessed it. Look at Hutou, his martial arts skills are no less than you; Zhang Niujiao and Chu Feiyan of the Yellow Turban Army are all admirable; Zhao Yun next to you has good martial arts skills, good character, good appearance, and good knowledge. You don't need to guess that you will achieve extraordinary achievements in the future. There are so many such rare people in Hebei. I admire him, it's a great place."

Tian Chong was so happy.

"You kid has only lived for twenty years. What do you know? I think you are very good, and you are from our northern border..."

"Okay, okay." Zheng Xin bowed to Tian Chong repeatedly, "I know what kind of thing I am. You are merciless and merciless."

Li Hong and Tian laughed heavily.

At this time, the sound of a horn that lifted the alarm came from a distance.

An officer with armored body came with a few followers.

Li Hong, Zheng Xin, Tian Chong dismounted and went up to meet him.

The officer saw it from a distance and immediately flew off the horse and took a few steps. He seemed to recognize the leopard Li Hong in the middle at a glance, and stopped walking from a distance.

"The lower official Zhang He greets the Lord."

Li Hong hurried forward and helped him up.

This person is very young, about eighteen or nineteen years old, tall and strong, with a slightly darker complexion, a face with a angular face, a pair of bright eyes, a strong expression, elegant temperament without losing its heroic spirit.

Li Hong immediately felt a good impression and asked with a smile: "Are you troops of Hejian Kingdom?"

"That's right. The lower-ranking official took five hundred people to carry food and grass from Gaoyang City on the order of the Prime Minister. He came day and night from Gaoyang City." Zhang He spoke unhappily and said in a casual manner, which made people feel very comfortable.

"You are..." Li Hong asked deliberately slowed down his voice.

"The Xiaguan is now the county magistrate of Gaoyangcheng, Hejian State."

"Before leaving, did the Prime Minister tell you that after the food and grass are delivered, your troops will stay and participate in the battle to attack Boling City?" Li Hong asked.

"Gaoyang County Magistrate Cheng has told me that after seeing the lieutenant deliver the food and grass, he will stay under the tent to serve." Zhang He said very respectfully, "The military position of the subordinate is small, and he will not meet the Prime Minister."

Li Hong smiled, patted his shoulder and said, "Is County Wei Zhang from Hebei?"

"Xiaguan is from Guozheng County, Hejian. Last year, he joined the army and has been following Lord Guo's army to participate in the fight against the Yellow Turban Army. He was injured on the battlefield of Zhao State three months ago and went home to recuperate. He just received an appointment this month to serve in Gaoyang City."

"Oh, so that's it. You appeared from behind us unexpectedly and scared us. Your marching route is very hidden. If it were the Yellow Turban Army, we would be raided." Li Hong said appreciatively.

Zhang He hurriedly explained: "The Yellow Turban Army is very rampant now, and it is impermanent and difficult to guard against. For the safety of food and grass, I specially led my troops from Gaoyang in advance and walked around the back of the army. There was a cavalry army in front of me to lead the way, so I naturally rest assured behind me."

Li Hong was very surprised when he heard this. He looked at him carefully again, secretly praised him, and couldn't help but look at him with admiration.

Li Hong immediately introduced Zheng Xin and Tian Chong to him.

"You and Tian Junhou will handle the handover immediately and hand over the food and grass and troops to him."

"Then, I..." Zhang He asked hesitantly.

"When we first came, many things are not clear. I want to ask you carefully. Follow me for the time being. The troops set off in half an hour."

=====================================================

Zhang He stared at Li Hong's back in a daze, his eyes full of questions.

"Old man, is he really a leopard?"

Tian Chong nodded cautiously and asked strangely: "Is there anything wrong?"

Zhang He shook his head and said with great admiration: "It's so unexpected for me to be so young. He is different from what I think."

"What's the difference? Tell me?" Tian Chong asked with great interest.

"After becoming famous in Lu Longsai's battle, his reputation spread throughout the world. Everyone knows his legendary experience in the Xianbei Kingdom. Everyone thinks he is a bloodthirsty and savage man, but who knows he is such a hero." Zhang He said excitedly with admiration.

"Hero?" Tian Chong asked deliberately, "Why can't I see it?"

"That's because the old man has been with him and has neglected it. The adults won consecutive victories in the northern border to invade the Hu army, beheading more than 10,000, and captured and killed many barbarian Hu generals. Their outstanding achievements have spread throughout the Central Plains. As we all know today, there is a black panther in the northern border of our great Han Dynasty, who is invincible."

"Now, the adults defeated Zhang Niujiao, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, and killed 180,000 Yellow Turban Army in Zhuo County." Zhang He opened his eyes wide and waved his hands exaggeratedly, saying, "Once this incident spread throughout the Central Plains, the adults' reputation will be even more famous, and I'm afraid it's no worse than General Huangfu. We used to think that the adults were middle-aged, and some even guessed that since he was a slave to the Xianbei people, he might still be a big man in his hair, but he didn't expect that the adults had long hair."

"What's the good thing about his ghost hair? He's wearing it all day long, like something. He's asking him to tie it up with a hairpin, but he doesn't listen." Tian Chong said angrily.

Zhang He opened his eyes wide in surprise and whispered: "Old man, it's a crime to say this."

"What?" This time it was Tian Chong's turn to be surprised. "Blame?" Then he remembered that he was an assassination and hurriedly stopped talking.

"I heard that I was asked to carry food and grass this time. At first, I was not very happy. I thought of going to the battlefield of Julu. Later, I heard that I was escorting food and grass for Lord Leopard, and I also heard that I was asked to temporarily fight under Lord Leopard's tent to attack the Yellow Turban Army. I immediately set off, for fear that this good thing would be stolen by others. Now there are more people who want to make military achievements, especially after Lord Leopard, who is invincible, and there must be more people coming."

Tian Chong said with a smile: "Don't worry, you are right this time. The war is about to go to."

"Old man, will we go and fight Boling right away?" Zhang He asked.

Tian Chong smiled slightly, without answering, and asked back: "Can your people ride horses?"

Zhang He was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Of course, people from the north can do it."

"That's good. Let's go to Liwu."

"Don't go to Boling?" Zhang He asked in surprise.

Tian Chong immediately pretended to be very mysterious and whispered to Zhang He: "Boling's enemy has gone to Liwu."

=========================================================

The sky was gloomy and the clouds were thick and low. The biting cold wind whistled in the open plains.

The tall walls of Liwu City are majestic and upright. They are like a weather-beaten warrior, sitting quietly by the Huanshui River, silently looking at the mountains in the distance.

Li Hong and his troops rested all night on the way, and rushed to Liwu City the next morning.

He looked at the dark walls of Liwu City and remembered Lulongsai and Yuyang City. The Xianbei people were not good at siegeing cities and sieges, but for the sake of wealth, they gave up leveraging the advantages of cavalry and attacked the Han people at all costs. The cavalry fought thousands of miles to attack only to defeat their opponents, not to rob property. But today they were taking cavalry and were going to attack the city? Why are we fighting Liwu? Kill all the Yellow Turban Army?

Li Hong couldn't help but think of the bloody pass wall, and a bloody feeling suddenly surged in his heart. He suddenly felt inexplicable fear of the high city wall in front of him.

The soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army were all poor people, and had no military training. The weapons, equipment and combat effectiveness were worse than those of the regular army. Although they had high fighting spirit and the determination to perish with the enemy, these alone were far from enough. The Yellow Turban Army could always gain advantage at the beginning of a war, but once the stalemate was too long, their shortcomings would gradually be exposed until they were defeated. In Zhuo County, the official army miraculously annihilated 180,000 of their people, which has a lot to do with this reason.

Of course, Li Hong understood that being able to defeat Zhang Niujiao was related to his flexible and changeable command, but more importantly, Zhang Niujiao had no idea how to deal with the cavalry. The Yellow Turban Army was not prepared to attack Youzhou. It was precisely because of this that Li Hong felt that he was lucky and that the Yellow Turban Army was defeated unknown. Now that the battlefield has been transferred to Jizhou, has the Yellow Turban Army prevented its cavalry and had a way to deal with it?

After Li Hong's victory in Zhuo County, he often remembered what Zhang Chun said to him. He didn't understand that these people were so brave and rebelled one after another. Is it true that Zhang Chun said that it was just to not have enough food and to have three meals a day?

The Yellow Turban Army died last year, and more than 100,000 people died this year. However, the Yellow Turban Army was tragically implicated and killed by the government because of the rebellion. The people who were displaced and starved to death in the wild reached millions. Because of the war, the fields were deserted and the grains were not harvested, countless people had to sell their children and daughters in order to survive, and finally they just sucked people. Because there were too many people who died, plague broke out in many places in Jizhou and Yuzhou, and more people died. Does this kind of tragic human affairs have nothing to do with the Yellow Turban Army?

It is true that the court is corrupt, the emperor is incompetent, the officials are corrupt and abused, and the aristocratic tyrants are rampant. But the result of their fierce battle with the Yellow Turban Army was that millions of people died within two years. What exactly did the Yellow Turban Army want to overthrow the current court and change the dynasty? Or should we carry out this rebellion to the end and let the people of the world die with them?

Now the Yellow Turban Army is weak, and as time goes by, they will be wiped out by the official army sooner or later. But can their blind burning, killing, looting solve the problem of people's food? Li Hong believes that it will not be possible, but will kill more people and put more people in a more miserable dilemma.

He believed that to solve the problem of food and clothing for the people, Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, was more effective. It is said that the court was not good, the emperor was not good, and the government was not good, but in Youzhou, he heard the people say that Liu Yu was good. Liu Yu tried all the methods to let the people of Youzhou counties eat as much as possible and live a stable life. Although Liu Yu did not do it and did it well, he allowed the people of Youzhou to see hope. This year, the people of Youzhou did not rebel? Why can't officials in other places do it? Officials force the people of the people to rebel, and after all, the root cause is still the official.

If you want the people of the world to live a good life, you must kill all the corrupt officials in the world. This is the easiest way in Li Hong's mind. Although he thought this was a ridiculous and childish way, he really couldn't think of any better idea. Rebellion is not a good way at all, and facts have proved it.

Now, Guo Dian, the governor of Jizhou, is right. The Yellow Turban Army must be solved as soon as possible, and the people who fled their homes to escape the war will return to farm and cultivate land next spring to solve their problem of eating next year. Otherwise, more than one dead people will be more and more.

In the future, we must find a way to solve the food and clothing of the people. Li Hong thought secretly.

Zhang He and Zhao Yun were by his side, one on the left and one on the right. Zhang He was one year older than Zhao Yun. The two were of the same age, had similar tempers and personalities, and they also admired each other very much, so they quickly got along.
