The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

It was night, and the Han soldiers in each battalion rose up in two shifts, without lighting, and gathered in the battalion quietly. Each battalion prepared meals in advance, the soldiers ate on the ground, and the generals marched to the central army to lead the order under the moonlight and stars.

Huangfu Song dressed neatly and stepped on the stage.

In order to avoid early detection by the Yellow Turbans, the Chinese Army did not raise fire. The order of each division's deployment and the components of each position such as the central army and the two wings were determined during the military meeting. On the stage in the middle of the night, Huangfu Song did not say much, mainly to stimulate morale and reiterated the military discipline. Let the generals return and prepare for battle. The generals were ordered to return to the base camp.

Soldiers are fed up. According to the different leadership styles of the generals, each battalion launched the pre-war mobilization.

In Zou Jing's camp, although Liu Bei's righteous followers were few, they also carried swords to patrol the camp, followed by Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Jian Yong.

Most of Liu Bei's subordinates, Yi Cong, were young people from other villages.

Liu Bei walked among them and talked with them for a while, and suddenly he became sad, weeping and weeping.

Zhang Fei said in shock, "Why did you suddenly cry?"

Liu Bei said in a choked voice: "Bei is stupid, and has not achieved anything so far. The only thing I enjoy most is being able to be with all the lords. The yellow turbans rise and the people suffer. Although Bei is incompetent, he knows the most important word in the world, 'loyalty'. Therefore, I came to help my teacher to fight the thieves out of one's capacity. All the lords are righteous men, and when they heard that Bei had the intention of chasing thieves, they went to danger generously. When they came, there were three hundred and twenty-three people in total, and they fought against the thieves. Thirty-one People die on the battlefield. Although the present and the lords are alive, the deceased is gone and can never be seen again. From then on, the yin and yang are separated, or we can only meet in a dream. Sad husband! Life is so vague. Sad husband! Pleasure! When I think about this, I don’t feel sadness coming from it.”

Guan Yu and Liu Bei's righteous servants had a very good relationship. Hearing Liu Bei's true feelings revealed, his eyes suddenly turned red, he turned his face away, and quietly wiped away his tears.

Zhang Fei disapproved of it, slapped his sword with anger, and said eagerly: "My husband died because he was chasing thieves, this is the right place to die, not to mention that only 31 people were killed in battle, even if you and I died here, Fei also has no regrets! Why do you have to follow the appearance of a woman and cry with grief?"

"Having said that, Naihe will never be able to see each other again, the yin and yang are separated, and the yin and yang are separated..."

Liu Bei burst into tears, unable to utter any words. After a while, with the consolation of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Jian Yong, and all the righteous servants, he stopped his mourning, cheered up, took out his sword, looked around the crowd, and said: : "After a fierce battle, today I finally have to fight the thief, I don't talk about revenge for the country and the people, but only to avenge the dead friends. Today, we should work hard and fight the thief! The thief lives, I die, the thief will die, When I was born, my husband vowed not to wear it for a day with a thief!"

The thirty-one people who died in the war and many of these righteous servants were fellow villagers and old friends. The righteous servants were infected by Liu Bei. When they thought of these friends from the villagers who died in the war, they were both sad and angry. They drew their swords and pointed to the night sky. They answered in unison: "The man swears not to wear it with the thief for a day!"

Dong Zhuo's troops were in a battalion. Duan Xun summoned Qin and Hu warriors who could be used under his command, and encouraged him warmly. With dozens of personal guards, Xu Rong marched majestically by his sword, checking the pre-war preparations of the trilogy.

Fu Xie's camp. Fu Xie sat in front of the tent, with his sword on the ground beside the seat, and called the military officers from each of his subordinates, and said in person, "Husband should carry a sword to pacify thieves, clarify the world, relieve the worries of the ruler, and relieve the troubles of the people. , to gain fame and fame for oneself" to motivate them.

Xunzhen camp.

Xun Zhen only brought Yuan Zhongqing and Zuo Bohou with them, and they were lightly dressed and simple, and they went on tour.

He has 3,000 cavalry under his command, and he can name almost every one of these 3,000 people, even the old soldiers who have followed him since Yingchuan, where are their homes and who else is there? All clearly. To these villagers in Yingchuan, he formed a friendship with them.

In addition to the people from Yingchuan Township, he also has people from Runan under his command, as well as the Yellow Turban Jiangshi. For these people, according to their different personalities, he treats them differently. He encourages brave people with bold words, promises benefits to those who have a strong heart, and does not say much to honest people, but only pats them on the shoulders affectionately. For those who had surrendered soon and still had doubts and fears, he said gently: When the battle is over, you just need to follow my flag.

He also treats the main generals of each song differently.

Xu Zhong is the most loyal, reliable, and most reassuring. When he went to Xu Zhongqu, he only briefly explained Xu Zhong's attention, and finally said: "Guangzong's thief is quite brave, and it is necessary to be stable in the battle. Never take risks lightly, and be cautious." Xu Zhong promised. . Jiang Qin was an old man from Xixiang, and there was no problem with his loyalty, but compared to Xu Zhong, this man was a bit scheming, and he had a strong reputation for fame. When we hit here, we finally meet a big fish! Bo Qin, if you can catch Zhang Jiao today, I will protect you as a ten thousand household marquis!" Although Jiang Qin knew this was impossible, he immediately fought with high spirits.

Chen Bao was also an old man from Xixiang, and was Xun Zhen's "old official", so his loyalty was no problem. Compared with Xu Zhong and Jiang Qin, the strength of this person is not brave but stable. Among the old people in Xixiang, there are many soldiers now. Xu Zhong, Jiang Qin, Liu Deng, and Chen Bao each have hundreds of people. Strictly rectifying, ordering and prohibiting, Chen Bao is the first. He is also flexible, witty and generous, and he is able to win the hearts of the people. Xun Zhen was very satisfied with Chen Bao and Xun Zhen. While performing his song, Xun Zhen said: "Jun Qing, Bo Qin, and A Deng are all fierce and sharp men, and they are not as stable as you. When facing the enemy and fighting, you should not go forward and take your troops to stay in their place. Behind them, look after them. If they overcome the thieves, you should join forces with them, and if they are in a hurry, you will save them quickly." Chen Bao smiled and said, "Yes, please rest assured!"

Liu Deng and Dian Wei are both warriors with different personalities.

Liu Deng was violent and eager to win. Dian Wei Zhongzhi, grateful to Xun Zhen's kindness. Xun Zhen also treated them differently.

To Liu Deng, he sternly agreed to three chapters: "Without military orders, you can't move half a step, and you are not allowed to rashly advance. If you are ordered to retreat, no matter whether you play smoothly or not, you must withdraw immediately and do not stay. When the enemy is fighting, remember you. You are the master of a song, so you can take your troops to kill thieves. You are not allowed to fight ruthlessly, and leave the song to chase and kill thieves. These three rules, as long as you violate one, after the war, you will wait and see what I do. Take care of you!" Liu Deng scratched his head and grinned, "Yes, yes, never dare to violate it."

To Dian Wei, Xun Zhen used it with benevolence, filial piety, kindness, and righteousness, and smiled: "Lao Dian, Guangzong is not far from Chenliu, if you can defeat the thief today, if you can make a great contribution, it will probably take a few days, and your military merit will be passed on. I went to your house. Your mother will be so happy when she hears this!" Dian Wei Zhongxiao, with all his strength immediately after hearing the words, responded, "Lord Xun, just watch how I kill thieves today and make a name for you! "

Xun Cheng and Xin Ai were also performed.

Xun Cheng's tune is mainly composed of the children of the Xun and Liu families in Yingchuan and the people of Xixiang. It can be said that it is the closest piece of music to Xun Zhen. Xun Cheng is Xun Zhen's clan brother, and the two have a good relationship since childhood. There is nothing to say about their own family, and everything is kept silent.

Xin Ai can also be regarded as a relative of Xun Zhen. Because of his family background, Xun Zhen has always been very respectful to him. Xin Ai didn't take Xun Zhen seriously at first, but in the battle of Yang Zhai, he saw Xun Zhen Ying's bravery with his own eyes. Afterwards, he admired Xun Zhen and was convinced, so he volunteered to fight with him. The relationship between Xun Zhen and him is different from other people's, which means "respect each other like a guest". He helped Xin Ai straighten the black and red leather armor on his body, and said to Xin Ai with a smile: "Yu Lang, we can go home after we finish fighting Jizhou! My clan sister must miss you very much."

Xin Ai's mother was Xun You's aunt and Xun Zhen's clan sister. According to her seniority, Xin Ai was called Xun Zhen's clan uncle, but because of her distant relatives, she had already gone out of five clothes. Xin A seldom called Xun Zhen this way. .

He leaned on his horse and pressed his sword, and replied in a relaxed manner: "Leaving home in early spring, it's already summer, I really feel homesick! Before leaving home, I moved a peony plant to the window. Go home, and now I think the flowers should have already bloomed!"

He took out his sword from his waist, hit the saddle with the scabbard, and said in a loud voice: "The spring breeze will make you feel fresh, and when Jie Zhai has a good voice, it is better to give me such a life than life!" These words are from Song Yu. The "Deng Tuzi Lustful Fu", which means: all things wake up under the blowing of the spring breeze, fresh and lush, the beauty is pure in nature, solemn and reserved, waiting for my echo, if you can't combine with her, it is better to die. The original text was to describe the beauty, but Xin Ai borrowed it to describe the peony he transplanted in front of the window.

The stars and the moon are bright, the night wind is swaying, and the beautiful Xin Ai is lazily leaning on the horse of the gods, fencing the saddle, and chanting ancient poems. Although the surrounding knights did not know the meaning of these poems, they all felt that Xin Ai was graceful and graceful, like a fairy, and they were all ashamed.

When Xin Ai was in battle to kill the enemy, he did not hesitate to sacrifice his life, but he was usually lazy and indulgent. He was like this, and Xun Zhen was not used to it. He smiled and said, "I will fight against thieves. Seeing Yulang in this barracks, which is full of jiujiu warriors, is really like a wild crane standing among chickens, and pearls in the rubble!" He summoned Xin A's personal soldiers and explained, "When the battle is coming, You must follow Yulang closely, and you must not fall behind." Xin Ai is outstanding in appearance, romantic in character, relaxed under the emperor, brave and daring on the battlefield, and won the love and respect of his followers. The personal soldiers will also try their best to protect him, Qi Qi promises.

He Yi and Li Xiang are also grateful to He Yi and Li Xiang. Xun Zhen will treat them like Xu Zhong and others.

...The third watch arrives, and the camp door opens.

In accordance with the order arranged by Huangfu Song, the various Han troops went out to the camp one by one and formed an array outside the camp.

Although the Han soldiers did not set fire to fire, the movement was still very loud when tens of thousands of cavalrymen were moving. The Yellow Turbans discovered the abnormality in time. The Qu Shuai and Xiao Shuai in the camp outside the city hurriedly woke up the soldiers and hurried out of the camp.

As Xun Zhen expected, yesterday afternoon the yellow scarves worked hard for the army, many of the soldiers drank alcohol and slept late at night, and things started in a hurry. Wrong, a mess.

Fortunately, there were so many Han soldiers that it took time to form an array, and the Han battalion was not too far from the Yellow Turban Barracks, but it gave the Yellow Turbans a little time to adjust the formation and organize the formation.

Lu Zhi had previously dug trenches and built low walls outside Guangzong City. When there was no war, these trenches and low walls could trap the Yellow Turban soldiers inside the city and outside the city, but when the general offensive was launched, these trenches were used. , the low wall becomes a hindrance. Huangfu Song had already made preparations. When the main force of the Han army was in formation, he dispatched 3,000 strong men, carrying soil sacks and logs, and went straight to the encirclement. It didn't take long for them to fill the trenches enough for the army to pass through and overthrow the south of the city. Most of the low walls.

At the fourth watch, that is, when the **** crowing, the Han soldiers made all preparations for the attack.

The fourth watch is from one to three in the morning in later generations. This is the time when people are the most sleepy. Many of the Yellow Turbans have a stroke and are woken up by the young marshals who kicked and beat them just after falling asleep. If he didn't respond, he was kicked out of the tent again, and he was kicked out of the camp in a hurry. There were 50,000 to 60,000 Yellow Turban soldiers in the camp outside the city, and 50,000 to 60,000 swarmed out of the camp in a chaotic manner. Even if the Han soldiers were lined up empty, the Yellow Turban Army Qu Shuai and Xiao Shuai stepped up to form the team, but the effect was still not good.

Huangfu Song climbed up to the watchtower at the gate of the camp and looked at it from a high place.

At this time, the night was dark, and it could be seen that the fire inside and outside the enemy camp was bright, and new fire lights continued to light up. This was the enemy who left the camp after setting up torches, and heard the neighing of the horses, and the cavalry in the yellow turban came out from the side door. The side door is reserved for the cavalry, but because the Yellow Turbans are too chaotic, many people can't find their camp head, and they run around like headless flies, blocking the side doors. The Yellow Turban cavalry may wave their whips. Swipe hard, or slash with knives, to disperse the foot soldiers blocking the road, and travel with difficulty.

Huangfu Song said with a smile: "The thief will also send out cavalry guards in advance to prevent our army from attacking."

Xun Zhenyuan looked at the enemy camp and said, "It's a pity that the bandit camp is too chaotic. General, the bandit army will be defeated today."

According to Huangfu Song's arrangement, in today's decisive battle, Xun Zhen's troops were divided into two parts, one led by Liu Deng, Dian Wei, Chen Dao, Chen Bao, He Yi, and the other led by Xun Zhen. . Liu Deng and others were all powerful generals, and their task was to strike first. Xun Zhen was the most useful person under Huangfu Song, and his task was to stay by Huangfu Song's side and go into battle at a critical moment.

Huangfu Song turned to look at the troops and horses of the headquarters, and tens of thousands of Han troops had already left the camp in accordance with his advance military orders, and were lined up in front of the camp.

The entire Han army's position is generally divided into three divisions: the middle is the infantry, this is the backbone, the main force of the battle, and the largest number. The two flanks are cavalry, responsible for rushing, the left flank is mainly composed of Sanhe knights, and the right flank is mainly Qin Hu Jingqi led by Dong Min and Niu Fu. The envoys of the generals and schools of the various divisions rushed from the various formations and reported loudly under the watchtower: "The formation of such and such divisions has been completed, waiting for the order of the generals!"

Huangfu Song was watching the formation of the Han soldiers, and Xun Zhen was watching too.

He first found Liu Deng, Dian Wei, Chen Dao, Chen Bao, and He Yi. They were the first to strike, and they were easy to find, just in front of the Han soldiers and infantry.

Two thousand people formed a sharp assault formation. Dian Wei's team was at the forefront of the sharp formation, Liu Deng and Chen Dao's team were juxtaposed on the two wings of Dian Wei's team, He Yi's team was in the middle, and Chen Bao's team was at the end. When the battlefield was about to go to war, although the military law stipulated that soldiers should not speak, but the Han soldiers recruited for the expedition accounted for a large proportion. Compared with the regular army, the military discipline was more sloppy, and many soldiers had the phenomenon of whispering. The formation of Liu Deng and others was silent. Looking up from the watchtower, two thousand soldiers stood like a forest and were as stable as a mountain.

Xun Zhen retracted her gaze with satisfaction, and looked closer to Wanglou.

Huangfu Song was the main general. Although there were tens of thousands of Han soldiers and cavalry in front of his position, there were still guards from the Chinese army. Around and near the watchtower are the elite troops of Han soldiers. Xun Cheng, Xin Ai and other troops were also among them. For the convenience of attacking, their positions were on the outermost side of these elites of the Chinese army. Xun Zhen saw Xin Ai's knight sitting on the ground beside the horse, Xin Ai was wiping the mask with a silk scarf.

His eyes flicked past Xin Ai, Xun Cheng and the others, and turned to their side, where Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei belonged.

Huangfu Song asked Zou Jing to borrow Liu Guanzhang's purpose is to use Guan Zhang's bravery to attack Guangzong's dead soldiers, they don't have to attack before Guangzong's dead soldiers appear. Liu Bei and Lu Zhi also fought a few battles, but the scale of those battles was not large, and he only participated as an ordinary member at the time. Today, he was left by Huangfu Song to personally command, Huangfu Song. Song also allocated him a batch of fine-armored iron spears for him to equip with righteous servants. He was both excited and nervous, excited for being able to get the reuse of Huangfu Song, and nervous for the enemy that was about to meet. Guangzong's dead soldiers were brave, and to be honest, Liu Bei had no clue as to whether he could defeat them.

Liu Bei was excited and nervous, Zhang Fei was excited, but Guan Yu looked like nothing had happened.

When watching the battle yesterday, Guan Yu said: "The Yellow Turban thieves are fighting only a few hundred dead soldiers and more than a dozen elite cavalry. I alone can kill them all. How dare you! If I am here today, I will win." He Self-confident and brave, he did not take Guangzong's dead man in his eyes at all. He does have the arrogant capital, isn't the bravery like Li Jue and Guo Si also his defeated generals?

Although the formation of Han soldiers is formed, the soldiers must be calm before the fierce battle. Not everyone's psychological quality is very good. If the battle is ahead, there will be people who are flustered and weak in the soldiers. Attacking, it is likely to cause confusion in the formation and even cowardice when facing the enemy. Anyway, the Yellow Turbans are in a mess, and it is useless to give them more time, so Huangfu Song is not in a hurry to order the attack. He noticed that Xunzhen was also looking at it. The Han soldiers in various formations asked with a smile, "Zhenzhi, in your opinion, who is the best?"

"Among the cavalry, Dong and Niu are the best."

Dong Min, Niu Fu, and others had many Qin Hus under their command, and they were used to being rough. In the past, they used to be noisy in the camp, and there were fights, but now they have a solemn military discipline, neat formations, shrewd banners, and strict equipment. Array, do not hear the sound of people and horses, look at it from a distance in the dark of night, stand in the field, no one or horse is in chaos, facing a strong enemy, but the people and horses are calm, if nothing happens~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It can be seen that he is sophisticated and courageous brave. In contrast, the Three Rivers Knights were far behind. Although they were repeatedly restrained by the generals who led the troops, their formation was still uneven, and there was a lot of noise.

Huangfu Song nodded and said, "Dong Zhonglang has been in Xizhou for a long time, and has always been famous for his bravery.

After four hours and two quarters, the soldiers of the Han formation had settled down. Looking outside the Yellow Turbans camp from afar, the formation of the Yellow Turbans' infantry had not yet been arranged. The formation of the formation, Huangfu Song said in his heart: "The time for the decisive battle is here!" But instead of launching the infantry first, he waved the flag, the drums were played, and the elite cavalry of Dong Min and others were dispatched first.

It was late at night, and there was only the light of the stars and the moon. In order to allow the ministries to see the orders clearly, a roaring fire was lit on the side of the watchtower, reflecting the surrounding area as if it were daytime, and it could be clearly seen from miles away. You can see the order of the military flag on the watchtower, and there is also a messenger marching in the formation, passing orders, so there is no need to worry that the front line will not receive the military order or misunderstand the military order.

Dong Min, Niu Fu, Hu Zhen, Duan Xun, Dong Yue, Xu Rong and others moved upon hearing the order.

First, three thousand cavalrymen mounted their horses and marched slowly. After they were out of the field, Dong Min and Niu Fu drew their swords, and Li Jue, Guo Si and other middle-level officers Hu Qi were the pioneers. Huh, everyone is making a noise, urging the rider to move fast, motionless like a mountain, and its speed is like the wind. Although it is the first mover, it is alone against the enemy, but everyone is afraid of falling behind. The plain area was chosen for the battle field, which was good for walking. Thousands of cavalry quickly picked up their speed, galloping and thundering, and the dust and smoke rolled, stabbing the cavalry positions of the Yellow Turbans like arrows, which opened the prelude to the battle of Guangzong.

Xun Zhenyao pointed to the head of Guangzong City and said, "General, Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang have climbed the city again."
