Qingzhou!
Wang Shichong, Gao Tansheng, and Meng Jiigong allied their forces to launch a surprise attack on Le'an State and divide the wealth of the counties under their rule.
Meng Haigong led 5,000 strong soldiers and occupied Yi County and Shouguang, committing evil crimes. Wang Shichong led 8,000 elite soldiers and captured the four counties of Linji, Gaoyuan, Le'an and Qiancheng. The family property was transferred to his headquarters in Beihai County; Gao Tansheng commanded 10,000 elite soldiers and occupied Bochang, Lixian, and Liaocheng, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil...
Among them, he talked about how Ma Shumou, a general under the Holy Spirit, ate the flesh and blood of young people in public and allowed his subordinates to commit adultery and plunder, which was an unpardonable crime.
Just when the rebel coalition occupied Le'an Kingdom, a scout came to report that Zhu Can's forces in Jinan Kingdom had been completely wiped out by Liu Bei, the governor of Pingyuan County, and there was a tendency to send troops!
After hearing what the scout said, Meng Jiong was immediately frightened and turned pale. He raised his right arm high, quickly summoned his generals, and ordered them to take the looted wealth and withdraw as quickly as possible!
Knowing that the situation was urgent, the rebel generals immediately organized their troops and followed Meng Jiigong to withdraw from Le'an Kingdom.
Looking at Wang Shichong again, after receiving the news from the scouts, he raised his eyebrows slightly and didn't take it seriously. Just because his generals have moved the people of the four counties to Beihai, there is no need to be nervous that Liu Bei's army will raid him!
On the other hand, Gao Tansheng was the last to receive news from the scouts and the last to organize the army to retreat.
The wages of avarice is death!
The thieves who plundered Bochang, Lixian and Liaocheng all gained a lot. This made their march slow, and it would take almost three or even five days to withdraw from Le'an Country alone...
For Gao Tansheng, it is impossible to throw away the wealth collected. So he ordered his general Ma Shumou to lead three thousand tiger and wolf men to carry out the task of cutting off the aftermath.
He himself led the army to continue marching and evacuating!
"The general will obey his orders"
Ma Shumou bared his teeth, and his bloody fangs were so terrifying. He picked up the weapons in his hands, led the three thousand soldiers whom he had ordered, marched in the opposite direction of the army, and began the task of breaking up the rear.
"General Ma, be vigilant at all times. You can lead the army to retreat in three days!"
Gao Tansheng's eyes flashed, and he warned Ma Shumou several times, and asked him to avoid Liu Beijun's sharp attack, mainly to preserve his own strength.
Ma Shumou nodded and bowed his hands to express his understanding of the great talker's instructions. But he didn't take these words to heart, and even disdained the strength of Liu Bei's men...
The bandits move forward slowly, and the retreat begins!
At the same time, the territory of Le'an Kingdom was in a mess. Liu Bei's third brother Zhang Dingbian arrived with his army. What he saw was not much different from that of Jinan Kingdom. Wherever he looked, there were ruins, broken walls, rivers of blood, bones exposed in the wild, and nothing for thousands of miles. Crowded.
"Report to the general that there are bandits invading from the east."
The scout quickly relayed the news to Zhang Dingbian. After hearing what the scout said, Zhang Dingbian, who was in a furious state, without saying a word, directly raised his hand to summon his soldiers and led the army to attack.
At this point, Ma Shumou and Zhang Dingbian collided and confronted each other!
At this time, Zhang Dingbian's face was gloomy and livid, his eyes were like a prairie fire, his anger soared into the sky, his iron teeth and copper teeth were creaking, his body was straight and straight, his arms were veined like roots of an old tree, and his palms were fierce. He used all his strength to hold on to the Divine Weapon Tiger Roaring Sea Monkey Sword, and clamped his legs tightly on the red horse that he was riding on. He was majestic and domineering!
On the other hand, the thief general Ma Shumou had a look of contempt and provocation in his eyes. He was holding a weapon in his left hand, and in his right hand he was pulling a cooked young foot and tearing it into pieces. His teeth were bared, his mouth was filled with the stench of blood, and he was riding a red horse on his crotch, and his sinister aura was overwhelming...
"Human ethics are regarded as nothing by you. I'm afraid only beasts can do this. The thief will die!"
Zhang Dingbian suppressed the anger in his heart, mounted his horse and marched out of the battle, directly facing the enemy general Uncle Ma and headed away.
"Ding! Zhang Dingbian's skill "King of Swords" was activated, and his basic force value was detected to be 103. Liu Bei's skill Renjun effect activated the force value +1, Tiger Roar Haiyuan Dao +1, Red Horse +1, and the weapon skill activation force value increased to 107(109)”
When the skill was activated, Zhang Dingbian's strength skyrocketed. He rode his horse quickly to the vicinity of Ma Shumou, and slashed away with the thunderous force of the divine weapon Tiger Roar and Sea Monkey Sword in his hand.
"锵珰"
Ma Shumou used the weapon in his hand to block, and the two weapons collided and made a harsh and sharp golden sound, like thunder.
"You still have some abilities, but this alone is not enough!"
The corners of Zhang Dingbian's mouth rose crazily, and the tiger roaring sea ape sword in his hand was like a strong wind sweeping away fallen leaves, and he slammed it towards Ma Shumou.
"锵珰"
The two sides clashed, weapons collided, and sparks flew everywhere! Ma Shumou was cursing, but in fact his mouth was open and bleeding, and his physical strength was about to be exhausted.
"With your strength, I don't want to fight you again."
Ma Shumou dodged out of the gap in Zhang Dingbian's offensive, and instantly opened the distance, trying to escape in the chaos!
"Do you really think you can escape? We just had a confrontation, and I just used my third level of strength. Want to escape? Go to hell!"
Zhang Dingbian's eyes widened and his face turned red. The roaring tiger's sword in his hand fell like a rainstorm, and he pursued and stopped Ma Shumou from escaping.
Gu Tuo "Pfft"
There was only a muffled sound, and then he saw blood splattering on Ma Shumou's left shoulder, forming a blood mist in the air, which was so terrifying.
Zhang Dingbian succeeded in severely injuring Ma Shumou, which slowed down his escape speed and gave Zhang Dingbian another chance to attack.
"Okay, you can die."
Zhang Dingbian's eyes were as red as fire, and his anger was igniting a prairie fire. His anger was sinking in his Dantian, and his whole body was full of fighting spirit. The treasure horse under his crotch galloped quickly and pulled him in beside the enemy general Ma Shumou. The magic weapon Tiger Roar Haiyuan The knife stuck out straight and penetrated Ma Shumou's chest forcefully.
The force of the knife continued unabated. After penetrating Ma Shumou's chest, he twisted and pulled it out. The enemy's internal organs were shattered and flowed out from the hole in the pierced chest.
"cough"
Ma Shumou's face was full of disbelief. He felt out of breath, his strength became weaker and weaker, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed!
In the end, the enemy general Ma Shumou took his last breath, fell from his horse, and fell into a pool of blood. Later, he was killed by Zhang Dingbian with a sword. When he held his head on the tip of the sword, he used his military power to lead the army to defeat the enemy...
At this point, as Uncle Ma died, the leader of the bandits, Gao Tansheng, successfully retreated to Qi State, and Zhang Dingbian returned in frustration after chasing the enemy to no avail. The Battle of Qingzhou has come to an end!
At the same time, the Five Pecks of Rice Taoist ghost advocate Xiu in Yizhou led an uprising and was violently killed by 50,000 elite Han troops led by Su Gu. He was defeated and fled. He was forced to withdraw from the Hanzhong area and returned south to Bajun to continue his activities and wait for an opportunity to revolt.
A week after he fled to Bajun, he was surrendered by Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, and was given the title of Sima of another department. He was assigned the task of commanding five thousand troops to strangle Fu Jian's uprising forces in the south!
Then move the perspective north...
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty had heard for a long time that Liu Yu had high prestige in the north, so he appointed him as the shepherd of Youzhou to make friends with and resist the foreign tribes in the grassland.
Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, arrived in Jicheng, made drastic changes, streamlined his troops, and extended favors extensively. He took the initiative to send envoys to contact and make friends with the foreign tribes in the grasslands, and conveyed the imperial edict, stating bluntly that the Ling Emperor was willing to treat Su Puyan, King of Wuhengqiao of the Liaodong vassal state, and Wu, the western Liaoning state. The crimes committed by Hengqiu Liju, Shanggu County Wuhengnanlou, Youbeiping Wuhenghan Hanlu Wang Wuyan and other tribes were treated leniently...
after! Liu Yu also arranged for his subordinates to offer rewards throughout the territory for the wanted traitors Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju. In a short time, many righteous men in the territory came to seek refuge and assist the Han army in their campaign against the traitors.
The strength of Youzhou's soldiers and horses has improved to a higher level, and Liu Yu has contributed a lot. However, as soon as he took office, he asked the county guards to reduce their troops and take the initiative to establish friendship with foreign tribes.
During his trip, he made enemies with Gongsun Zan, the governor of Daijun. The two parties disliked each other, which laid the fuse for the subsequent Youzhou Incident!
…
There were bounties on the two thieves Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju throughout Youzhou. This frightened the two of them, and they immediately decided to lead the army northward, intending to flee to Liaodong to avoid pursuit.
"We currently have less than 20,000 soldiers and horses. Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan of Youzhou are looking for us. The tribal leaders in the grassland also seem to be taking our heads to receive rewards. What should we do?"
Zhang Chun felt quite uneasy and asked Zhang Ju for a solution to the matter.
The situation was urgent and sudden. Zhang Ju was anxious and didn't know what to do next! I only know that I can't stay in Youzhou anymore. If I want to escape, I can only escape to the northeast, towards Gongsun Du's Liaodong, away from Liu Yu's pursuit. I can wait until my troops are stronger in the future, and then I can lead the army back to take revenge...
"If we want to survive, the only way is to run to Liaodong, there is no other choice!"
When Zhang Chun heard this, his eyes dimmed slightly. Liaodong was a vast area with few people and extremely difficult. If he went there, he would probably never return to Youzhou in his lifetime.
"Well, why don't we divide our forces and flee? You lead the army east to Liaodong and gather troops and horses. I will lead the army north to open up wasteland and find a deserted place to concentrate on development!
In the future, wouldn't it be great if we attack Liu Yu in Youzhou from two directions, one from the east and the other from the north? "
What Zhang Chun said really moved Zhang Ju.
When Zhang Ju heard this, he immediately fell into deep thought, his brain spinning rapidly, weighing the pros and cons. After a while, Zhang Ju thought clearly in his mind and realized that what Zhang Chun said was feasible, so he followed Zhang Chun's idea, divided his soldiers and supplies equally with him, and retreated separately.
After the two thieves finished talking, they began to organize and lead the troops to escape!
The thief Zhang Chun led his soldiers to the north in a hurry. When passing near the Tuoba tribe, the sky became dark and night fell.
It is inconvenient to march late at night, and the soldiers in the army are exhausted, which will greatly affect the speed of movement on the second day and beyond.
So the thief Zhang Chun issued an order to set up camp at the same location, make a fire to cook, and then continue marching north after resting for a night to regain strength.
"Just take off your armor and change your clothes, and then march north tomorrow!"
Zhang Chun, who had been exhausted all day, stepped into the military tent, took off his armor and changed clothes, lay down on the makeshift couch, and fell asleep soundly.
But they never thought that just when night completely enveloped the earth, Zhang Chun's subordinate Wang Zheng took advantage of the dark and windy night to lead a mutiny with hundreds of his close followers, forced his way into the commander's tent, and instantly killed Zhang Chun, who was still sleeping soundly. And behead him...
