Three Kingdoms

The night was deep, and the surroundings were already very dark. Even the torches on the wall of Hangu Pass only illuminated a very small part. It seemed that the light seemed to be completely swallowed up by the darkness if it tried to move forward a little bit, and even the scum was gone. There was nothing left.

Under the Hangu Pass Observatory, there seemed to be a few cat calls, as if a lynx wandering from some mountain top came here looking for night food.

The torch on the lookout flashed a few times, and then a few ropes hung baskets from the wall. Someone lay on the parapet and whispered to the people below: "Move quickly!"

Immediately, something that looked like a wine jar was placed in the hanging basket. The people on the wall quickly pulled it up. After hurriedly pulling it up, they quickly put the empty basket back down and continued to pull it up. …

A dozen large jars were quickly piled up on the wall. A soldier standing aside holding a torch was curious and secretly took two steps forward. Just as he was about to stretch his head to take a look, he was hit hard on the back of the head. A slap in the face...

"My mother's feet! Look at your mother's feet! Stay away from me! If you dare to come near me again, I will chop you down!" Seeing this idiot holding a torch and approaching forward, the military commander on the side was so frightened that he almost came out of his wits. He hurriedly came up and cursed in a low voice, beating and kicking the soldier and driving him far away.

After hanging it back and forth a few times, I heard a short cry from somewhere, as if a wild cat had its tail stepped on. The military commander's expression changed, and he quickly called to the soldiers on the city wall to move the big jar away and hide it. , he swayed left and right twice, gritted his teeth and walked forward...

They had not gone far when they saw a group of people approaching, led by Captain Guo Pu.

The military commander hurriedly stepped forward to salute, but Captain Guo Pu just said yes and walked straight forward without stopping. On the other hand, a man who followed Guo Pu, who also looked like a military commander, said in a nonchalant manner: "Marquis Chen, you are still not resting so late. Why don't you close the air and get some fresh air?"

Chen Junhou laughed with him and walked forward from one side, saying: "Li Junhou, no, no... I just heard about the Yellow Turban Thief in the past two days, and I felt uneasy and couldn't sleep. I came up here to look around... "

Captain Guo Pu glanced sideways at Chen Junhou, sneered, and continued walking forward without saying anything.

Li Junhou chuckled twice and said: "Oh, that's it, Chen Junhou should be more careful, don't let the yellow scarf thief touch the door and get hurt, it will be bad, haha..."

Chen Junhou had a shy face, as if he couldn't hear the sarcasm in Li Junhou's words. He smiled and said, "Yes, yes, hey, I'm old. My body and bones are not as good as those of young people. If I were younger, Ten years old, I'm sure..."

Chen Junhou made a slashing gesture, and then said: "Yellow turban thief, in fact, it is also a military merit. During the Zhongping period, I lost a lot of yellow turbans, so I can become this military lord..."

Guo Pu paused for a moment, turned around and asked Chen Junhou: "Have you... also killed the Yellow Turban?"

"Killed! I was a very capable person at that time," Chen Junhou pulled back his military robe, revealing a long scar on his chest. "This wound was from back then. I'm lucky thanks to my good fortune..."

Guo Pu nodded and said: "The injury is in front, so I am a man. Tell me, how was the Yellow Turban at that time?"

"Hey, it was General Huangfu back then..." Chen Junhou nodded while leading the way. Intentionally or unintentionally, he bypassed the lookout tower and walked forward...

Seeing that Chen Junhou had already passed the observation platform, he felt a little relieved, and his speech became smoother and more exaggerated, "...Actually, the Yellow Turbans are just farmers who grabbed some swords and guns, even worse than some bandits. At first, I was a little scared when I saw the large number of Yellow Turbans. However, General Huangfu directly attacked the Yellow Turbans' central army. When the flag fell, hey, he was like a wild monkey all over the mountains and plains, that one ran away...

Guo Pu listened and walked, and unknowingly he had completed the east wall. Liangzhou and Yongzhou have always fought mainly against the Qiang and Hu who surrendered and rebelled at times, and also fought against local powerful forces who did not obey the orders of the central court. The Yellow Turbans, I guess Zhang Jiao did not look down on the remote and desolate Liangzhou at that time. So Guo Pu didn't have much experience fighting against the Yellow Turbans, but after hearing what Chen Junhou said, his restless heart started to move again.

Aren't they just farmers with some inferior knives and guns?

Could it be more difficult to deal with than the Qianghu with swords and horses?

Oh, this Zheng Guanling is as timid as a mouse!

Guo Pu touched his beard, snorted, and without saying anything to Chen Junhou, he took Li Junhou down to the east wall.

Fei Qian tossed and turned all night long. This was really difficult to handle.

Fei Qian is now extremely bored with the remnants of the Yellow Turban, especially at this time and at this place. You must know that this is the Weihan Passage. You can only go in at one end and out at the other end. Now you are stuck here. You can't go in and you can't go back. Retreat, I really have a headache.

In ancient times, we didn’t think about future generations. We could have a helicopter or something, but if we had enough materials, we could make a hot air balloon and float over there? Forget it, I haven’t done it before. If something goes wrong, that person’s life is just a joke. Besides, even if I do it now, where will I find the materials?

Why did the Yellow Turbans appear in Xin'an?

Some time ago, I heard that the Baibo bandits fought a battle with Dong Zhuo's army and defeated Dong Zhuo's army, but that was in a mountainous area east of the river, okay?

In Fei Qian's view, the main reason why the Baibo thieves were able to win was because they occupied a favorable location. The eastern part of Hedong is full of mountains and forests. The Xiliang soldiers' cavalry advantage cannot be used at all. When Dong Zhuo's army is attacked, they have to fight up with their scalps on their shoulders. They turn the cavalry into infantry to climb the top of the mountain, and wait until they climb to the top of the mountain. Going up, the Baibo thief has already gone to another hill...

Therefore, the defeat of the Xiliang cavalry does not prove that its combat effectiveness is weak. Try it on flat ground. The Xiliang cavalry charging in formation can probably beat the yellow scarf thieves who lack horses and cannot even escape!

Xin'an is also a small county town, and it has been located in the hinterland where there has been no war for a long time. The garrison is small to begin with. At most, it is estimated that there are only two to three hundred people standing up to the sky. Being surrounded by one or two thousand yellow scarves, of course, they are panicked.

A yellow scarf thief worth one or two thousand...

If about a thousand troops from Hanguguan were dispatched and they carried out a surprise attack from behind while the Yellow Turbans were besieging the city, the siege of Xin'an would probably be solved.

Historically, Kong Rong in Beihai was besieged. At that time, Guan Hai claimed to have tens of thousands of troops surrounding the city. Isn't it the number of troops Liu Huangshu brought, three thousand or five thousand?

Fei Qian thought about it, but he couldn't remember clearly. Anyway, there were much fewer soldiers than Guan Hai's. They rushed out from behind the besieging camp. With a single charge, Guan Hai's Yellow Turbans collapsed...

Of course, Guan Hai's military strength at that time may have included the whole family of the Yellow Turbans, but wasn't that the case for all the Yellow Turbans?

Now it is better to go and meet someone...

During Cao Cao's expedition, he ran out of water halfway, so he climbed up and looked up, saying, "There is a plum forest ahead." The sergeants were full of saliva, their morale was greatly boosted, and they marched in a hurry. Sure enough, there was a plum forest, so he divided it and ate it.

On the tenth day, there was an urgent report from Chang'an: "King Hu, Arthur, invaded the border area and promised to avenge the imperial master..."
