Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 512 Sun Ce's Choice

Amidst Yan Liangwenchou's moaning and sighing, the Bohai King's army attacked swiftly.

The passage in front of the Baiguan Gate was not spacious, and Yan Liang ordered the whole army to attack with all their strength, regardless of priority.

Zhu Zhi looked at the flames in front of him, and the shouts of killing could be heard clearly. He imagined the scene of the siege of the city in his mind, and Sun Jun on the top of the city was also shooting arrows indiscriminately into the darkness.

Looking at the mountains on both sides, there were already people rushing down the mountain. The purpose of their coming was to cut off their retreat. Zhu Zhi didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops.

If he waited for the back road to be cut off, then his 2000 people would be in danger.

"Bring something useful and get out of here quickly!" Zhu Zhi urged.

"General Zhu, what about General Han?"

"I can't take care of him right now. Let's retreat first. General Han is good at mountain warfare and is familiar with the terrain. The enemy should not be able to do anything to him." Zhu Zhi said, and jumped on his horse.

The inclined ladders were set up, and the soldiers went up one by one, but the city was empty.

After another half an hour, Yan Liangwenchou drove his horse and walked slowly into the gate of Baiguan. At this time, Baiguan was already brightly lit.

"I thought there would be a battle, but I didn't expect Sun Jun to be like this. Could it be that Sun Jian died and there was no one in the army?" Yan Liang laughed.

"I don't know where the other army has gone, and whether it will come here to meet up." Wen Chou replied.

"Although I didn't kill the enemy much, but you and I have made some small contributions to occupying a level. I will rest here today and report it to the lord tomorrow morning!"

Yan Liang made a simple deployment, similarly, the sentry posts before and after the customs, and the bright and dark posts on the hillsides on both sides.

After several hours, on one of the top of the mountain, a pair of eyes looked at the little sparks below, and he understood in his heart that Baiguan was basically lost.

One wrong step, one wrong step, one can't think of a blocking strategy, and the success falls short.

Han Dang sighed helplessly, changed direction and went down the mountain.

The next day, just after dawn, a fast horse rushed back. Not long after Liu Qing got up, the military newspaper was delivered.

"Did Yan Liangwenchou fight last night?" Liu Qing said in surprise while reading the letter.

"Sun Jun's vain attempt to attack the forward army at night failed. He just burned some utensils, but Yan Liang seized the opportunity and marched in a hurry at night to attack Baiguan. In front of our army, there will be no danger to Linxiang."

After Liu Qing finished speaking, he praised: "Yan Liang fought beautifully in this battle! Yuan Zhi, send an order to go out and catch up with Yan Liang at full speed."

Xu Shu took the order to leave, Liu Qing went out of the tent, Dian Wei and Guo Jia followed.

"Feng Xiao, you said Sun Ce, is there any possibility of surrendering?"

"My lord, although we have had contact with him, but since this person has the name of 'Little Overlord', it is conceivable that the possibility of surrendering is very small."

"That being the case, how to deal with it?"

Guo Jia had obviously thought about this question, and immediately replied: "My lord, to deal with the 'Little Overlord', naturally use the method to deal with the 'Overlord'."

Ways to deal with Overlords.

Liu Qing immediately thought of ambush on all sides, besieged on all sides.

"If Sun Ce is willing to fight, there is no need for so many schemes. However, since he is the overlord, I presumably won't refuse this king's appointment to fight, right?"

"My lord, you want to use yourself as a bait to give Sun Ce a glimmer of hope first?"

Liu Qing smiled, that's right!
Guo Jia has already analyzed the disparity in strength between the two sides. Whether it is a field battle outside the city or sitting in an isolated city, the outcome will not be very good. Sun Jun has no chance of winning. If Liu Qing proposes a duel with Sun Ce, Sun Ce will think that as long as If the King of Bohai is eliminated in a duel, the King of Bohai's army may collapse in an instant, and even if it does not collapse, its morale will be severely damaged.

"Sun Ce will definitely not let go of this opportunity!" Liu Qing said, while mounting his horse, he ordered: "General Taishi, please come here."

Before the afternoon of the battle, Liu Qing planned to ask Tai Shici for advice on how powerful Sun Ce was.

Soon, Tai Shici was summoned.

"My lord, what's the matter with summoning the last general?"

Liu Qing said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, just ask Ziyi, how is Sun Ce capable?"

"In terms of force alone, the general is indistinguishable from him. Although he may be able to win with one and a half moves in battle, Sun Ce's brute force is very strong. When attacking, he is very desperate."

"My lord, it sounds like Sun Ce is very dangerous," Guo Jia reminded.

"No matter how dangerous it is, fighting alone, this king will not be afraid of anyone!" As he said, he silently dismissed Lu Bu.

The main characteristic of Lu Bu is that it is too outrageous in a one-on-one fight. Maybe when his endurance is capped, he can rely on his physical strength to confront Lu Bu head-on.

Tai Shici said: "Indeed, the last general is not the lord's opponent, and Sun Ce must not be the lord's opponent either!"

Hearing a sentence of beautiful words, Liu Qing was leisurely on the horse.
-
In Linxiang County, Sun Ce led the generals to withdraw from Luo County to Linxiang. The Liu Pan Huangzhong camp that was originally occupied also voluntarily gave up. Even Luo County, only a few hundred soldiers remained.

On the second day, Liu Pan led his army to occupy Luo County without any effort, and at the same time, the soldiers pointed further south.

After Zhu Zhi withdrew from Baiguan, he ran all the way and fled back to Linxiang.

"My lord, I'm incompetent!" Zhu Zhi said in shame.

"Where's Uncle Han?" Sun Ce asked with concern.

Zhu Zhi shook his head and said, "He is in charge of the surprise attack. After we parted, there was no news."

Sun Ce and Cheng Pu beside him couldn't help but look serious when they heard this.

"Send some people to look for it!" Sun Ce said.

Cheng Pu nodded and hurried to make arrangements.

"Uncle Zhu, Bohai Royal Army, how is the offensive going?"

"The vanguard has about [-] soldiers and horses, with Yan Liang as the main general and Wen Chou as the deputy general. That night Han Gongyi failed to attack the camp. Yan Liang took the opportunity to attack Baiguan overnight. His timing was very precise, but the offensive was disorderly. Come on." Zhu Zhi introduced.

Cheng Pu, who just came back, heard it and replied: "It means that behind Yan Liang, there are some masters. King Bohai has many advisers, and there is no guarantee that there will be any accompanying the army."

"Uncle Cheng, there is no danger to defend outside of Linxiang. Do we want to fight like Yuan Shao, fighting trapped beasts, and finally..."

Sun Ce didn't say the last words, Yuan Shao's end, after someone made a special publicity, spread all over the world in a short time.

Although Cheng Pu was a veteran, in this situation, he had no other option but to fight to the death.

"Report-"

"The king of Bohai sent an envoy to send a letter of war!"

A voice attracted everyone's attention, especially the word "war letter", which was especially fresh.

Sun Ce opened the book and read it.

"According to the emperor's order alone, to fight crimes against the heavens, at the point of the sword, the Yuan family committed suicide, and the six counties in the east of the Yangtze River surrendered in anticipation of the wind. Today, there are [-] cavalry in command. They want to hunt in Hunan with one step, and hope that they will abandon their father's will and follow the sky. Edit the first, so as not to make mistakes."

After Sun Ce finished reading, he cursed, "Zhuzi, how dare you insult my late father!"

After all, he threw out the gauntlet.

The generals were silent, they had already heard clearly what was written in the gauntlet.

And they also know that the King of Bohai's statement is conservative with 15 iron cavalry. Counting the soldiers and horses of Yuzhang last time, as well as the navy, the total strength of the King of Bohai has approached [-].

However, under Sun Ce's command, he has been continuously raising food and recruiting soldiers for several months. Now the total force is only [-], and half of them are recruits. Not to mention training, even the armor and weapons have not been fully distributed. I know best in my heart.

"My lord, don't be angry, this is the strategy of the king of Bohai, don't be fooled!"

Sun Ce replied loudly: "Liu Qing can bully me, but why blaspheme my father? If a man can tolerate such things, am I not a beast? How can I inherit my father's legacy and lead my father's old department!"

Cheng Pu had a bad heart, and Sun Ce became anxious, and quickly turned his attention to Wu Jing.

At this time, there are some words that he is not suitable to speak, and only Wu Jing, who is his uncle, can speak.

"Bo Fu, calm down. If your father was here, he wouldn't be so impatient. In the past, he could even commit himself to Yuan Shu's tent for mere food and grass. The ambition of a man is not to be high-spirited for a while, but to be able to bend and stretch." Wu Jing said.

Sun Ce glanced back at Wu Jing, the anger in his eyes dissipated slightly.

Sun Ce said: "You can bend and stretch, uncle wants to leave?"

Wu Jing replied: "It's hard to live here, it means that the destiny is not here, so why bother to tolerate it."

"However, if you look at the world, where else can I wait besides this place? Jiangxia? Nanyang?" Sun Ce asked back.

Obviously, Jiangxia Huangzu was eyeing him, how could he be allowed to enter again, and Nanyang, let alone think about it.

Now Liu Qing is in front of him, and Liu Biao is behind him, facing enemies from both sides, there is no way out.

Wu Jing was speechless.

Sun Ce walked aside, picked up the tactics letter again, and opened it up again.

"At this point, Liu Qing has come down to fight, and we can only fight. Uncle Cheng, the Xiangshui Plain also has advantageous terrain, so go and prepare." Then he turned to Wu Jing, "Uncle, this battle is of great importance. , Linxiang is in danger, please trouble uncle and take Quan'er away."

"Where did you take it?" Wu Jing was surprised that Sun Ce would say something, obviously because he felt that the chances of winning were slim, so he decided to make a second move.

"Bo Fu, this..."

"I hope uncle will carry out the order!" Sun Ce emphasized solemnly.

Wu Jing nodded helplessly, and said a little unwillingly, "Here!"

"Uncle Cheng, you will be fully responsible for the defense of Linxiang!"

"The last general takes orders!" Cheng Pu bowed his hands in respect.

After the arrangement was completed, Sun Ce said again: "However, Liu Qing's battle letter must be understood. I, the son of the Sun family, have no reason to fear war. I will lead a thousand soldiers and go to the Xiangshui Plain to fight! My grandson Even if the talisman splashes blood on the battlefield, it will take away some enemies!"

Sun Ce spoke with enthusiasm, but no one agreed.

Similarly, the generals did not object, but all looked at Cheng Pu.
-
After Liu Qing passed the Bai Pass, and walked for half an hour, he came out of the valley, and immediately felt a sense of enlightenment.

Because of the high terrain here, overlooking the plains, the fields separated by ridges can be seen clearly, and further away is the so-called Xiangshui. Here, the flow of Xiangshui has a big turning point, so The plain here is formed by sedimentation, and the land is very fertile.

"The mountains and rivers are full of doubts and there is no way out, and the willows are dark and the flowers are bright and another village!" Liu Qing couldn't help but chanted.

"The lord is really talented, comparable to the mistress!" Guo Jia took advantage of the situation and flattered her.

"Feng Xiao, you are really stingy, you even patted two people with a flattery!"

"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed in unison.

With his extremely wide vision, Liu Qing even saw Yan Liangwen Chou's troops marching in the distance, but from here, the long team was as slender as a silk thread.

"Go, catch up with Yan Liang!" Liu Qing ordered, and Jin Ge galloped out immediately, taking the lead, rushing to the plain, as if entering the flat ground, even the war horse Jin Ge was very happy.

Calculating the time, the fast horse that sent the war letter should have already been sent to Linxiang, and I don't know if Xu Shu's aggressive method can motivate Sun Ce.

This last journey, perhaps tomorrow, will reveal the answer.

Half a day later, Liu Qing's front army chased Yan Liang's rear army, Yan Liang simply stopped, and came to meet Liu Qing with Yan Liang.

"My lord!" Yan Liangwen bowed uglyly, "How did my lord chase you so fast?"

The two were a little surprised at Liu Qing's speed.

"The infantry in the rear has not caught up, and the cavalry of the king rushed over first. Apart from Baiguan, is there another battle?"

Yan Liang shook his head, only the scouts last night had confrontation, the rest of the time, there was no resistance.

On this point, as Guo Jia expected, Sun Ce did not deploy any suspicious soldiers, which shows that his strength is far from enough.

"From now on, I will join you in marching. I also want to meet this 'little overlord' for a while to see how capable he is!"

Yan Liang smiled and replied: "My lord is after Gaozu, not to mention the little overlord, even if the overlord of Western Chu is alive, he can't match the lord!"

Liu Qing glanced at Yan Liang strangely, this flattery obviously hit the horse's leg, and he would get kicked by the horse's hoof.

If the overlord of Western Chu is so easy to deal with, then what is the great achievement of the great ancestor Liu Bang?

These three are clearly a relationship in which one is prosperous and the other is prosperous, and the other is damaged and the other is damaged. How can it be used as such a metaphor.

Liu Qing didn't point it out, nor did he respond.

Wen Chou said: "Brother Yan is right, don't talk about the little overlord, even if the overlord of Western Chu is alive, with our Yan Liang Wenchou around, there is no need for the lord to step in!"

Liu Qing looked at Wen Chou dumbfounded.

You are even more outrageous than Yan Liang, dragging the overlord of Western Chu to your level, Liu Qing can only say in his heart: ah, yes, yes, yes.

Liu Qing and Guo Jia and Xu Shu are on the same page, let's agree with him on the surface first, you are right, but in fact we all know that he is a...

Liu Qing was suddenly curious about these two people, how did they get along in private, would they often praise themselves?
In fact, if Liu Qing saw Yan Liangwen Chou's growth dialogue that night, he might be impressed by the two of them again.

Among the group, Yan Liang and Wen Chou were added. Although they were newcomers, they were not shy at all. They communicated with everyone and had a high degree of participation.

The Xiangshui River flows from south to north, and Liu Qing also follows the river up without hindrance.

At noon the next day, when the sentry came to report, a group of soldiers and horses were found in front of them. The flag was pointing to Sun Ce.

Sun Ce actually came to fight.
