Chapter 263 Preparation


    The night was deep, and the surroundings were already very dark. Even the torches on the wall of Hangu Pass only illuminated a small part. It seemed that the light seemed to be completely swallowed up by the darkness if it tried a little further, 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 observation platform flickered a few times, and then a few ropes hung the basket from the wall. Someone was lying 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 **** 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...


    ?Having not gone far, I saw a group of people approaching, led by Captain Guo Pu.


    ??The military commander hurriedly stepped forward to salute, but Captain Guo Pu just hummed 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 on 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. So I came up and walked around..."


    ?Captain Guo Pu glanced sideways at Chen Junhou, sneered, said nothing, and continued walking forward.


    ??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 hurt it, 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, A ten-year-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 some yellow turbans, so I can become this military lord..."


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


    "Killed! I was a very good person at that time," Chen Junhou pulled back his military robe, revealing a long scar on his chest. "This scar was from back then. 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 and led the way from the side. Intentionally or unintentionally, he bypassed the observation deck and walked forward...


    Seeing that Chen Junhou had already passed the observation deck, 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, and they are even worse than some bandits. Back then, At first, seeing the large number of Yellow Turbans, they were a little scared. 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 was running... ? ? ? Guo Pu was listening and walking, not knowing. Before I knew it, I had finished walking the east wall. Liangzhou and Yongzhou had always been fighting against the Qiang and Hu who rebelled when they surrendered, and also fought against local powerful forces who did not obey the orders of the central court. Huangjin, I guess Zhang Jiao was at that time. He also looked down on the remote and desolate Liangzhou, 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 swords and guns?


    Could it be more difficult to deal with than the Qiang Hu with a sword and a horse?


    All, this cowardly Zheng Guanling!


    ??Guo Pu touched his beard and snorted. Without saying anything else to Chen Junhou, he led Li Junhou down the east city 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 one way and out the other. 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 want future generations to think about it. We could have a helicopter or something like that, 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 Turban 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 it 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 with their scalps on their heads. They turn the cavalry into infantry to climb the mountain, and wait until they climb to the top of the mountain. Going up, the Baibo thief has already gone to another hill...


    ??So 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 will probably be able to beat the yellow scarf thieves who lack horses and will not even be able to 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 originally small. At most, it is estimated that there are only two or three hundred people standing up to the sky. Being surrounded by one or two thousand yellow scarves, of course, they are panicked.


    One or two thousand yellow scarf thieves...


    ???If about a thousand soldiers from Hangu Pass are dispatched and they launch a surprise attack from behind while the Yellow Turbans are besieging the city, it is estimated that the siege of Xin''an will be solved.


    In history, Kong Rong was besieged in Beihai. 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 fought 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 entire Yellow Turban family, young and old, but isn’t that the case for all Yellow Turbans?


    Now it’s better to go and meet someone…


    Cao Cao went on an expedition and ran out of water halfway, so he climbed up and looked up and said, "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, Yase, is at the border, and he has promised to avenge the national division..."
