Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 263 Preparation

The night was dark, and the surrounding area was already very dark. Even the torches on the wall of Hangu Pass only illuminated a small part. There was not left.

  Below the Wangqi Terrace of Hanguguan, there seemed to be a few cats meowing, as if a bobcat roaming around some mountain had come here looking for night food.

  The torch on the watch platform flickered a few times, and then a few ropes hung a basket from the wall. Someone lay on the parapet and said in a low voice, "Be quicker!"

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

A dozen large jars were quickly piled up on the wall. A soldier standing aside holding a torch was a little curious, and sneaked two steps forward. Just as he was about to poke his head out to have a look, someone slapped him **** the back of his head. slap...

"Damn it! Look at your mother! Stay away from me! If you dare to get close to me, I will cut you off!" Seeing this stupid man holding a torch and moving forward, the scared soul of the military officer on the side almost came out, Hurriedly coming up, he cursed in a low voice, beating and kicking the soldier away.

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

   Before he had gone far, he saw a group of people approaching, headed by Captain Guo Pu.

  The military marquis quickly stepped forward to salute, but Captain Guo Pu just hummed and walked straight forward without stopping. On the contrary, the one behind Guo Pu, who also looked like a military officer, said in an indifferent way: "Chen Junhou, why don't you rest at such a late hour, why don't you turn off the blower and get some air?"

  Chen Junhou smiled and walked forward on one side, and said, "Li Junhou, no, no... It's just that I heard about the Yellow Turban Thief these two days, and I feel uneasy and can't sleep, so I come up and walk around..."

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

  Li Junhou smiled lightly twice, and said: "Oh, that's right, Chen Junhou should be careful, don't let the yellow scarf thieves touch it and close it, if you hurt there, it will be bad, haha..."

Chen Junhou's face was shy, as if he couldn't hear the sarcasm in Li Junhou's words, he laughed and said: "Yes, alas, I am old, my body is not as good as that of young people, if I am younger At ten, I'm sure..."

  Chen Junhou made a slashing gesture, and then said: "Yellow Turban Thief is actually a military merit. During the Zhongping period, I killed some Yellow Turbans, so I can become this Military Marquis..."

  Guo Pu stopped for a while, then turned his head and asked Chen Junhou, "You...also killed the Yellow Turban?"

   "Killed it! I was the boss at that time," Chen Junhou pulled his military robe, revealing a long scar on his chest, "This scar is from that year, thanks to my luck..."

  Guo Pu nodded, and said: "The injury is in the front, it is a man. Tell me, how was the yellow scarf?"

   "Hey, it was General Huangfu back then..." Chen Junhou nodded while leading the way, intentionally or unintentionally bypassing the watchtower, and walked forward...

Chen Junhou saw that he had already passed the watchtower, and felt a little relieved, and his speech became smoother and more exaggerated, "...in fact, the yellow scarves are just farmers who have robbed some swords and guns, even worse than some bandits. Back then At first, seeing the crowds of the Yellow Turbans, I was a little scared, but General Huangfu directly attacked the Yellow Turbans' Chinese army, and when the flag fell, hey, it was like wild monkeys all over the mountains, that one ran away...

  Guo Pu listened and walked, unknowingly he had finished walking the east wall. Liangzhou and Yongzhou have always been fighting against the Qiang and Hu rebels from time to time, as well as fighting against local tyrants who did not listen to the orders of the central court. The Yellow Turban, I guess Zhang Jiao didn't like the remote and desolate Liangzhou at that time. So Guo Pu didn't have much experience in fighting the Yellow Turban, but after hearing what Chen Junhou said, his restless heart became active again.

   Isn’t it just a farmer with some inferior knives and guns?

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

  Cut, this cowardly Zheng Guanling!

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

  ×××××××××××××××

  The whole night, Fei Qian tossed and turned, this is really difficult.

Fei Qian is extremely tired of the remnants of the yellow scarf, especially at this time and at this place. You must know that this is the Weihan passage, and you can only enter at one end and exit at the other. Now you are stuck here, you cannot enter, and it is not good to retreat. Retreat, I really have a headache.

  In ancient times, we didn’t want future generations, so we could have a helicopter or something, but if we have enough materials, we can make a hot air balloon to float there? Forget it, I haven't done it before, if something goes wrong, it's a joke, and even if I do it now, where can I find the materials?

  How could there be yellow scarves in Xin’an?

  Some time ago, I heard that the Baibo bandit had a battle with Dong Zhuojun and defeated Dong Zhuojun, but it was in a mountainous area to the east of the river, okay?

  In Fei Qian's view, the reason why the Baibo bandits were able to win was because they occupied a favorable location. There are mountains and forests in the east of the river east, and the cavalry advantage of the Xiliang soldiers can't be used at all. If Dong Zhuojun is attacked, even if he wants to fight up the scalp, he will turn the cavalry into infantry and climb the mountain. Going up, the Baibo thief has already gone to another hill...

  So the lack of Xiliang cavalry does not prove that their combat effectiveness is weak. Try another flat ground. The Xiliang cavalry charging in formation is estimated to be able to beat the yellow scarf bandits who lack horses and can't even escape!

  Xin'an is also a small county, and it has been located in the interior where there has been no war for a long time.

   One or two thousand yellow turban thieves...

  If the soldiers here at Hangu Pass were dispatched to about 1,000, and they took advantage of the yellow scarf thieves to attack behind the city, it is estimated that the siege of Xin'an would be solved.

  Historically, Kong Rong in Beihai was besieged. At that time, Guan Hai claimed that tens of thousands of troops surrounded the city. Isn’t it just how many soldiers Liu Huangshu brought, three thousand, five thousand?

  Fei Qian thought about it, but I can’t remember clearly. Anyway, compared with Guan Hai’s soldiers, they rushed out from the back of the besieged camp, and Guan Hai’s yellow scarf collapsed after a single charge...

  Of course, Guan Hai’s military strength at that time may have included the entire Yellow Turban family, but isn’t that true for all Yellow Turbans?

   Now it’s better to meet someone...

   Cao Cao ran out of water halfway through his expedition, so he climbed up and looked up, saying: "There are plum forests ahead." The sergeants' mouths were full of fluid, their morale was boosted, and they hurried forward. Sure enough, there was a plum forest, so I divided and ate it.

   Ten days later, there was an urgent report in Chang'an, saying: "There is King Hu Arthur who has invaded the border, and he has stated that he will avenge the national teacher..."
