Three Kingdoms: Jiuyuan Tiger

Chapter 124 Enemy's Narrow Road (Fifth Watch, Please Subscribe!)

The next day, Lu Bu carried out a detailed reorganization of the [-] surrendered troops.

Among the [-] surrendered soldiers, there were really not many old, weak, sick and disabled, and most of them were young and strong boys.

Lu Bu selected [-] elite soldiers from among them and dispersed them into the Northern Army to fill the vacancies of the Northern Army soldiers who died in battle.

For the rest of the surrendered troops, Lu Bu was temporarily unable to transport them back to Liaodong.

After all, the generals of the Northern Army knew that [-] soldiers were captured in the First World War last night, so they couldn't be incorporated into the Northern Army's [-] troops, and the rest would be gone, right?

Therefore, Lu Bu had no choice but to temporarily detain these surrendered soldiers and make plans later.

……

In Xihe City, Zhang Jiao summoned all the generals under his command to discuss matters.

In fact, it is more about discussing matters than Zhang Jiao giving orders for them.

Zhang Jiao, who hadn't slept all night, thought about it and finally decided to abandon the city and break through.

Zhang Jiao understood that the Yellow Turbans in Bingzhou were over, and the result would be eaten away by the officers and soldiers.

Instead of doing this, Zhang Jiao might as well give it a go and break through with all his soldiers and horses abandoning the city!

As for where to go, Zhang Jiao now has two choices, the first is to find his apprentice Wang Baobao, and the other is to go to Qingzhou to meet Zhang Liang.

But Zhang Jiao's heart was still inclined to look for Wang Baobao. In this case, Zhang Jiao had to break through Huguan, or bypass Huguan, and march towards Sili.

After informing the generals of their thoughts, the generals of the Yellow Turbans naturally had no objections. How could they not follow the proposal of the great virtuous teacher?
Henceforth, Zhang Jiao discussed in detail the breakout plan with all the generals under his command, and set the time and route for the breakout.

For the next few days, Lu Bu led his troops to yell and curse at Xihe City every day, but Zhang Jiao was determined to be a coward. There was no movement at all.

But Lu Bu is not in a hurry, Zhang Jiao's minions have been eliminated, and it is just a fight between trapped beasts!

Lu Bu also had no plans to attack by force. No matter whether it was the soldiers of the Liaodong Army or the Northern Army, Lu Bu couldn't bear their deaths in this battle.

Anyway, breaking the city one day earlier is also breaking, and breaking the city one day later is also breaking. Lu Bu has no reason to order a storm.

……

That night, Zhou Cang happily reported to Zhang Jiao: "Great virtuous teacher, the tunnel has been dug, and we can leave at any time!"

Zhang Jiao said happily: "Okay! Send the order down, I'll set off after this!"

Afterwards, Zhang Jiao and his party appeared on the outskirts of Xihe City. Soldiers in yellow scarves kept drilling out of the tunnel.

It turned out that Zhang Jiao knew that forcibly abandoning the city to break through the siege would not work, so he ordered the Yellow Turban soldiers to dig a tunnel to the outskirts of Xihe day and night to break through.

But it is obviously unrealistic for more than [-] yellow turbans to break out of the tunnel. Zhang Jiao only took away the young and strong among the yellow turbans. As for the old, weak, sick and disabled, they can only ask for luck!
If the tunnel was not discovered by the officers and soldiers, the old, weak, sick and disabled of the Yellow Turbans could also break through with the large army.

If the tunnel is discovered, I'm sorry, whether you live or die, I have nothing to do with it!
Just like that, Zhang Jiao secretly left Xihe City through the tunnel with more than [-] elite yellow scarves, packed lightly, and left quickly without any delay.

By the time Jin Yiwei's soldiers found out about it, Zhang Jiao had already left for a long time.

But even though Zhang Jiao has been away for a long time, there are still tens of thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled people in Xihe City who have not left.

After hearing the news, Lu Bu's face turned livid, and he clenched his fists.

He never expected that Zhang Jiao would come to this move, this is really a plank road that is being cultivated in secret!
Liu Bowen repeatedly apologized to Lu Bu, and he suggested to Lu Bu not to forcibly attack the city, but now he let Zhang Jiao run away, and Liu Bowen felt very regretful in his heart.

But Lu Bu didn't blame Liu Bowen. A wise man is bound to make a mistake. How can he not get his shoes wet when he often walks by the river?

After consoling Liu Bowen, Lu Bu immediately ordered to pursue him.

Lu Bu said Zhang Jiao couldn't run too far. After all, the Yellow Turbans were all infantry, and the Liaodong cavalry pursued them. As long as the direction was right, they would definitely catch up to Zhang Jiao!

It just so happened that the Jinyiwei soldiers sent Lu Bu the location of Zhang Jiao, so I really wanted to sleep and came to the pillow!

Lu Bu ordered Xue Rengui, Liu Bowen, Liao Hua, Zhang Yan and others to conquer Xihe City here;

He led three generals Dian Wei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, and led [-] Liaodong cavalry to pursue Zhang Jiao.

The soldiers were quick, and after a few hasty confessions, Lu Bu immediately set off with the Liaodong cavalry in pursuit.

After Lu Bu left, Xue Rengui, Liao Hua, Zhang Yan and others would besiege Xihe City. The Yellow Turban soldiers in Xihe City had no intention of resisting, and they understood that the remaining Yellow Turban soldiers in the city were just Zhang Jiao's abandoned sons!

In this way, all the more than [-] Yellow Turban soldiers in the city surrendered, and Xue Rengui took Xihe City without any effort.

……

Let's say that after Zhang Jiao left Xihe City with [-] elite yellow scarves, he marched all the way to the land of Sili.

At this moment, Zhang Jiao was in a good mood, and escaped from Xihe, turning the deadlock to life, how could Zhang Jiao be unhappy?

But soon Zhang Jiao's mood couldn't get better, because the scouts came to report in a hurry: "Report! To the great virtuous teacher, a large group of cavalry was found in Sanli, and the enemy came under the banner of the governor of Bingzhou!"

Zhang Jiao's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, what a disaster!
We're so close, we can't avoid it, so let's fight!

So Zhang Jiao ordered: "Form up and meet the enemy!"

The cavalry unit three miles away is the cavalry led by Zhang Yi, the governor of Bingzhou!

Although Zhang Yi led his troops to set off immediately after receiving the imperial decree from Emperor Ling, the speed of news transmission in this era was really slow, from Lu Bu giving the performance to Emperor Ling, to Emperor Ling receiving Lu Bu's letter, and then to issuing an order to Zhang Yi , this is not a task that can be completed in a short time.

Zhang Yi never knew that the Xianbei cavalry that made Emperor Ling furious had been wiped out by Lu Bu.

Although Lu Bu had already explained this matter to Emperor Ling, Zhang Yi didn't know about it!
What's more, the envoys sent to Luoyang may not have arrived in Luoyang, and Zhang Yi didn't even know the news!
Therefore, Zhang Yi hurriedly marched all the way, but unexpectedly bumped into Zhang Jiao's group who had abandoned the city and fled here!

Zhang Yi, who was sitting in the carriage, also heard the news that there was a large number of yellow scarves in front of him. Zhang Yi didn't think much about it, and directly ordered Bingzhou wolf to give this yellow scarf a try.

If Zhang Yi knew that this group of Yellow Turbans was led by Zhang Jiao himself, and that Zhang Jiao's ace unit, the Yellow Turbans, was among them, I wonder if Zhang Yi would regret his decision at this time.

When the two armies met, no one said anything nonsense. The enemy was extremely jealous when they saw the enemy. As soon as the two armies collided, they immediately started fighting.

Zhou Cang commanded five thousand yellow scarf warriors to guard Zhang Jiao, meticulously protecting Zhang Jiao's safety.

Pei Yuanshao, Liu Pi, Gong Du and other generals led the Yellow Turban soldiers to attack the Bingzhou wolf cavalry viciously.

Zhang Jiao thought that this group of cavalry would be defeated in a short time, but the fact surprised Zhang Jiao's eyes.

Zhang Jiao overestimated the soldiers under his command. Although these soldiers were the elite of the Yellow Turbans, how could these elites compare with the Bingzhou Wolf Rider who had been licking blood all year round?
The Bingzhou wolves shuttled back and forth in the formation of the Yellow Turbans, massacring wantonly, and quickly shocked the formation of the Yellow Turbans into disarray.

Seeing this, Zhang Jiao gritted his teeth and ordered Zhou Cang to join the battle with four thousand yellow scarf warriors.

After Zhou Cang joined the battle with [-] yellow turban fighters, the balance of victory gradually tilted towards the yellow turban side.
