Less than a hundred miles east from Luoyang City is Sishui Pass. After leaving Sishui Pass and walking for half a day, there is a fork in the road to the north.
To the south are Yuzhou and Jingzhou, to the north are Youzhou and Bingzhou, and all the way east will enter Jizhou.
Although Zhao Yun is nominally the general of Bingzhou, anyone with a discerning eye knows that he and Gongsun Zan of Youzhou still belong to the same family, which is a bit like breaking bones and connecting tendons.
So at the time of separation, Zhao Yun naturally assigned most of his soldiers to Gongsun Zan's army to help him quell the situation in Jizhou, while he rushed back to Bingzhou with 10,000 troops.
This alliance to defeat Dong was very costly to all the princes. It is no exaggeration to say that the whole world will be reshuffled because of this battle. Should we take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to seize territory, or use this time to recuperate? , stabilizing the rear area is an urgent issue for the remaining princes.
For Gongsun Zan, if Youzhou is the rear area of Jizhou, then after letting Zhao Yun occupy Bingzhou, he wanted to make Bingzhou the rear area of Youzhou.
All ethnic groups in Bingzhou live together and have different living habits. Not to mention the barren land and extremely difficult living conditions. Logically speaking, it can never have such important strategic significance.
However, due to the emergence of Qi Zhen, various ethnic groups began to intermarry and trade. Liu Yu was a civil servant who was very good at bridging the relationship between various ethnic groups, so this matter became very promising.
Don't talk about anything else, just talking about Bingzhou's Ma Zheng, it can be said to be the best among all nine states.
The animal husbandry industry in Bingzhou is also one of the most developed industries in Bingzhou.
Ten thousand pro-army troops may not be too much for the whole world, but if you put them in one place, they can still be seen at a glance, and they are quite impressive.
Among them, there are more than a thousand soldiers whose uniforms are completely different from those of the Bingzhou Army.
The eyes of these soldiers revealed ferocity, and they were obviously more elite than the ordinary Bingzhou Army sergeants. In fact, whether it was the quality of the horses under their legs or the armor and weapons of the individual soldiers, these soldiers were half a level higher than the Bingzhou Army.
The equipment is okay, but Category A war horses are already scarce, so being able to gather more than a thousand cavalry is an amazing thing.
What's more, compared with the pro-army troops in Bingzhou who were originally known as Ma Zheng.
The Huben Camp was originally an elite cavalry force under the command of Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha. After Tang Yi became the commander of the Huben Camp, this cavalry army has been following her.
Zhao Yun himself has not had much contact with Tang Yi, and is actually quite curious about Tang Yi. However, Tang Yi has a cold temperament, and she is not hypocritical towards her teammates. How can she and Zhao Yun talk happily?
Therefore, the two of them seemed very quiet along the way. They didn't look like allies at all, but more like two strangers who happened to be walking together.
When to march, how fast the march should be, when to rest, and when to set up camp, Zhao Yun would often ask Tang Yi for his opinion. At this time, Tang Yi would not refuse people thousands of miles away, so what should he do? how.
In fact, Tang Yi didn't have much experience in leading the team.
She has no problem charging to kill the enemy. For other matters, her lieutenant will provide advice. There are not many places where she is needed.
As for Zhao Yun's insinuations about her life, Tang Yi was very cold and refused to respond, which made Zhao Yun even more curious.
The destination of their trip was Shangdang County.
Zhang Yang, the governor of Shangdang, died outside Luoyang City. At that time, he was discussing with Kong Rong and planned to take advantage of the opportunity after breaking away from the alliance. However, Qi Zhen, who was waiting for the opportunity, took advantage of him and died in a very cowardly manner.
At this time, Zhao Yun wanted to go to Shangdang County to appease the soldiers and civilians, and by the way, completely take this place under his control.
In Tang Yi's mind, she just happened to be traveling with him, and they had to part ways after arriving at Shangdang. She headed west, preparing to directly insert herself into Xiliang, complete her plan with Qi Zhen, and solve the problem of Shangdang. After that, Zhao Yun prepared to go all the way north to meet Guo Jia in the state capital to recuperate.
Three days after the army marched to merge with the state, Guo Jia's superstition came from the state capital.
The remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Shangdang County were causing trouble. The number was not large, but there were thousands of them. It was estimated that they had received news of Zhang Yang's death and were ready to take action. Guo Jia asked Zhao Yun to go and quell the rebellion.
The content of this secret letter was relayed to Tang Yi by Zhao Yun, and she did not see the original text of Superstition.
Zhao Yun meant that there might be a battle on this trip. If Tang Yi didn't go, he could go directly west from here to avoid the loss of his men. If he went, he should also discuss a common strategy to deal with the enemy, so as not to be in trouble. In a hurry.
Tang Yi didn't care about this matter. After thinking about it, he might as well help if he could from the allied position. Anyway, those golden remnants couldn't make any big waves, so he didn't change the planned itinerary and said that General Zhao Yun would arrange it. good.
Zhao Yun's face was quite happy. Naturally, he would not let Tang Yi take the lead. He only needed Tang Yi's 1,500 tiger battalions scattered in various places. He would fight this battle. Tang Yi only had to guard the enemy's deserters. Can.
Tang Yi felt confident and nodded in agreement.
Marching without incident is a state. With military affairs at this time, the marching speed cannot be as slow as before.
In the early morning of the third day, the army had already arrived outside Shangdang County.
In fact, Tang Yi was not too worried. Firstly, Guo Jiaxin's relaxed words and Zhao Yun's tone didn't take him too seriously. It was just that since he was going there in the first place, he could quell the rebellion along the way; secondly, although he came to Shangdang County It's not big, but it is a county town after all. With only a few thousand poorly equipped Yellow Turban remnants, it is simply impossible to capture the county town. Thirdly, since the opponent cannot capture the county town, it is estimated that it will only be possible in a few attacks. It is not impossible to organize the county, or even one or two counties. If the county seat is not as good as the county seat, how can it be said that the city is strong? It is already considered good to be able to build a city tower with earth. Ten thousand elite soldiers and strong generals are enough to get through it.
Guo Jiaxin was vague about the specific situation of the enemy troops. It seems that the state capital did not get the first-hand information here.
The 10,000-strong army marched into Shangdang City without any hindrance. Zhao Yun had to go and understand the situation first.
Shangdang County must have heard the news of Zhao Yun's return a long time ago, so all the preparations for receiving the army were completed without any panic.
Now the person in charge of the party is Zhang Yang's chief secretary, named Feng Jia. After seeing Zhao Yun, he was overjoyed and praised his hard work.
Zhao Yun didn't waste any more nonsense and asked directly about the rebellion of the Yellow Turban Remaining Party.
Feng Jia looked a little embarrassed. He just said that he was in a disadvantageous position and asked the general to atone for his sins.
Zhao Yun said that since Zhang Yang was not here, you cannot be entirely blamed for something like this happening in the county. Besides, you were able to maintain the general stability of the county under such circumstances. It was not easy, so there is no need to blame yourself too much.
The matter is not much different from what Zhao Yun and Tang Yi judged.
To be precise, this rebellion only occurred in a lower county not far from Shangdang County. That county may be too poor, so it took this opportunity to prepare to plunder more surrounding resources.
These people may only be in the name of the Yellow Turban Army, but it is not certain whether they can really be called the Yellow Turban Army.
The distance between that county and the county seat is not that far. If you march urgently, you can make a round trip in about half a day. However, the chief secretary obviously does not dare to advocate the use of troops there without publicity as the backbone. Otherwise, he is just afraid. There is no need to wait for Zhao Yun to come back, he can handle this matter by himself.
After figuring out the whole story, Zhao Yun and Tang Yi felt more relieved about the matter. It was not yet noon, so Zhao Yun suggested that without further delay, they should go there to quell the rebellion now, and they would be back in ten minutes after dark.
Tang Yi had no objections, and Feng Jia naturally gave his full support.
So the two men, who had just settled down and whose buttocks were still hot, once again led the army and went straight to the rebels. There were not too many soldiers, not too many. It was Zhao Yun who brought the ten thousand, plus the fifteen hundred tiger soldiers under Tang Yi's command. camp.
Before noon, the army moved westward and had arrived outside the county seat.
Tang Yi's Huben camp was dispersed in all directions to prevent the enemy from fleeing, while Zhao Yun organized his troops and began to attack the city.
Speaking of attacking the city is really too flattering for this county. Not to mention the city walls, even the earthen walls of this county are full of gaps, making it impossible to serve as a fortification to stop the enemy.
At this time, not to mention Zhao Yun and Tang Yi, the ordinary soldiers had great contempt for the enemy troops here.
This can't be called a rebel army, it's just a bunch of mobs.
Shocking shouts of killing came, and Zhao Yun's attack had already begun.
Tang Yi despises her opponents strategically, but is not sloppy in tactics. Tiger troops from all sides are constantly reporting to her the situation on the battlefield in case something unexpected happens.
After fighting for only an hour, the shouts of killing subsided. It seemed that Zhao Yun's army had already invaded the county town, and Zhao Yun's work was indeed impeccable and did not allow any of the defeated enemy troops to escape from the county town.
Therefore, the Huben camp under Tang Yi still felt that it was not very satisfying.
"Report! The battle on the front line has ended. General Zhao invites General Tang to come to the county." A soldier from the Bingzhou Army approached and reported to Tang Yi.
"Report to General Zhao and say no need. I will set up camp at Huben Camp for repairs and wait for him to come out and return to the Shangdang together." Tang Yi flatly refused Zhao Yun's invitation.
In her opinion, this was all a trivial matter, and there was no need to go in again. She could just wait for Zhao Yun to calm down the situation in the city and leave together.
"Here!"
The messenger left.
Tang Yi was ready to recall the scattered Huben troops and set up camp where they were.
"Report! A large number of Yellow Turban troops have been discovered in the north!"
"Report! A large number of enemy troops have been discovered in the west!"
"Report! A large number of enemy troops have been found in the south!"
The rewards from the three parties actually came to Tang Yi in no particular order, which made her frown unconsciously.
What made Tang Yi a little bit surprised but helpless was that the troops of her and Zhao Yun were actually surrounded by a group of rebels.
"Send orders to the Huben camp to move closer to the Chinese army." Tang Yi gave the order calmly.
