Chapter 902 Raid on Liaodong
Li Wenzhong rushed towards the Yellow Turban soldiers and horses, and rushed to the front, but found that the front was not the Yellow Turban reinforcements, but the Han army in Han uniform.

Li Wenzhong was very excited, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, don't panic, the imperial court sent troops to suppress the bandits, follow me to kill."

The hundreds of young men who followed Li Wenzhong were all excited, and followed Li Wenzhong's footsteps to kill the Yellow Turban soldiers and horses.

The soldiers and horses of the two sides encircled the Yellow Turban, but after a while, the Yellow Turban surrendered.Zhang Xutuo beheaded the real Yellow Turban bandit among them. Because he was busy suppressing the bandits, the people could not resettle him and had to let him go home.

"The strong man is very capable. He only led a hundred men and defeated the yellow scarf soldiers with more than a thousand men." After the battle, Zhang Xutuo and Li Wenzhong made friends.

Dare to defeat the Yellow Turbans with hundreds of people, Zhang Xutuo naturally understands that Li Wenzhong is not a mediocre person, and now they need to go to Jinan to deal with the main force of the Yellow Turbans. If they can get Li Wenzhong's help, it will be much easier.

"The general is ridiculous!" Li Wenzhong arched his hands, looked at the soldiers who followed Zhang Xutuo, and frowned slightly: "The general came to suppress the bandits? But I don't know where the soldiers and horses came from? Why..."

Zhang Xutuo knew that Li Wenzhong was wondering why the soldiers and horses he brought were so weak, not as good as the real elites.Of course, ordinary people can't see it. Only those with unique vision can see that Zhang Xutuo's soldiers are still recruits, but they have just been killed.

Zhang Xutuo praised, and explained the ins and outs to Li Wenzhong: "A strong man has good eyesight. We are the soldiers of Qi State. The Yellow Turbans in Qi State have been wiped out. I will go north to Le'an to prepare to wipe out the Yellow Turbans in Le'an, and then go to Jinan , to deal with the main force of the Yellow Turbans."

Li Wenzhong suddenly realized: "It turned out to be the government soldiers of Qi State. The Yellow Turbans in Qi State are no less ravaging than Le'an. It is really remarkable for the general to defeat the Yellow Turbans with two thousand soldiers."

Seeing Li Wenzhong's expression of admiration and fascination, Zhang Xutuo immediately offered to solicit: "Excuse me for the name of the strong man? To be honest, our army has already learned about the movement of the Yellow Turbans. The leader of the Yellow Turbans in Le'an was deceived by others. We plan to go there first." Linji subdued the Yellow Turbans in Le'an, and then went to Jinan to attack the main force of the Yellow Turbans. The brave men are extraordinary, so I don't know if they have the intention of serving the country? If they get the help of the strong men, the matter will be half done."

"I, Li Wenzhong, have long wanted to join the army, but there are many trivial matters. Now that the country is in crisis, Li should follow it." Li Wenzhong immediately agreed.

Then Zhang Xutuo led the troops to the fortress where Li Wenzhong was to rest for a while, and the next day he led the troops to the north to Linji, but there was one more person accompanying him, Li Wenzhong.

Originally, Li Wenzhong wanted to bring the young men in the fort with him. These young men practiced martial arts with him, and they were also very brave. However, considering that there were still yellow turbans nearby, they were left to guard Wubao.

The army marched all the way north and arrived in Linji area the next day.

Not far from Linzi City, the soldiers and horses stopped. Li Xiucheng suggested to Zhang Xutuo: "The soldiers and horses of the Yellow Turbans are scattered, and all parties are not closely connected. The remnants of the Yellow Turbans last time have been put down, and the people are still in the city. No one knows about me." I have to think about life and death. I can first enter the Yellow Turban camp and secretly persuade Chen Yucheng to surrender, so that the two sides will be able to win a big victory."

"That's great!" Zhang Xutuo agreed without hesitation.

Immediately, Chen Yucheng made some wounds on his clothes, messed up his hair, and went to Chen Yucheng's camp as if he had escaped.

Chen Yucheng hadn't captured Linji yet, because Linji also had a lot of government soldiers, and it was really difficult to make any achievements with only young and strong people as the main force to attack the city.After several days of siege, the young and strong people suffered heavy casualties. Chen Yu couldn't bear it, and also noticed the cruel behavior of the Yellow Turban bandits, and was quite entangled for a while.

At this time, Li Xiucheng came to see him, and Chen Yucheng immediately summoned Li Xiucheng.

Seeing Li Xiucheng in such a mess, Chen Yucheng turned pale with shock: "Brother, why are you in such a mess?"

Due to the rapid dispatch of the Han army and the confusion of the Yellow Turbans, Chen Yucheng did not know the news of Li Xiucheng's defeat.

Li Xiucheng asked Chen Yucheng to step back and told Chen Yucheng the whole story.

Chen Yucheng was furious after hearing this: "I thought that only my Yellow Turban soldiers behaved badly, but I didn't expect them to be a group of bandits. We were bewitched by the Yellow Turbans and became sinners who will notoriety for thousands of years."

Li Xiucheng quickly comforted him: "Brother, don't panic. I have joined the Han army and made meritorious deeds. I have recommended you to them. As long as you lead your troops to surrender and follow us to Jinan to attack Hong Xiuquan, you can also perform deeds and meritorious deeds."

Li Xiucheng was overjoyed when he heard the words, there is no reason why he shouldn't.

That night, the two single-handedly killed the main village and beheaded the leader of the Yellow Turban.Zhang Xutuo and Li Wenzhong took advantage of the situation and led troops to surround the camp and slaughtered the Yellow Turban bandits.

At the same time, he also contacted the soldiers in Linji City. Zhang Xutuo temporarily became their chief general and arranged the people in Linji. Zhang Xutuo joined the soldiers of Linji Prefecture. There were more than 3000 soldiers and horses in total, and he selected warriors among the young and strong people. , Gathered four thousand soldiers and horses.

The next day, Zhang Xutuo rushed to Jinan County with [-] soldiers and horses, Li Wenzhong, Chen Yucheng, and Li Xiucheng, preparing to destroy the main force of the Yellow Turbans led by Hong Xiuquan.

………………

But on the other hand, Chen Qingzhi led his troops to attack Liaodong from the sea, and when the war was raging in Qingzhou, his troops successfully landed on the Liaodong Peninsula.

Chen Qingzhi sent troops this time with [-] troops, [-] white robes, three generals Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, and Wen Yang, and even the governor Yu Yunwen came in person.

Yu Yunwen went out in person, firstly to ensure the safety of the navy, and secondly to supply Chen Qingzhi's soldiers and horses.

This time, Chen Qingzhi set off by sea, carrying a large amount of food, grass, and luggage, enough to last for several months, but it was impossible for Chen Qingzhi to take it with him.Because this not only affects the marching of soldiers and horses, but also is easy to be attacked by surprise. Once the food and grass are lost, the soldiers and horses will be defeated.

Therefore, Yu Yunwen went out in person to supply food and grass for Chen Qingzhi and provide logistics work in the rear.

The soldiers and horses disembarked from the shore, and the warships moored on the shore. Chen Qingzhi and a group of generals spread out a map on the shore, plotting how to use their troops.

"Your Majesty has already dispatched troops, and the troops are divided into two groups. One is led by His Majesty himself to attack Gaoxian, the barrier in the northeastern part of Liaodong. There are 10 troops. The other is General Xue Rengui, who is stationed west of the Liaohe River to contain Liu Bei's navy."

Chen Qingzhi looked at the generals, and described the current situation in Liaodong one by one.

"Now Liu Bei has only 20 soldiers and horses. The soldiers and horses are restrained on the Liaohe River and in Gaoxian City. The combined number of the two soldiers and horses should be about 10. It is estimated that the generals have also been sent out. Now our army should make a surprise attack. Xiangping, the capital of Liu Bei, if the surprise attack is successful, Liu Bei can secure it; if not, he can also contain Liaohe and return with Gao Xian's two troops to help His Majesty and General Xue."

Yu Yunwen nodded and said: "Chen Dudu's analysis is good. Attacking Liaodong is the only way to do it."

Chen Qingzhi pondered: "I have decided to send [-] troops to raid Xiangping. Inspector Yu can lead [-] white robes behind to provide logistics for our army."

Yu Yunwen nodded and said: "The white-robed army is powerful in combat, and eight thousand white-robed troops can be equivalent to tens of thousands of troops. If I garrison the city, there will be Liu Bei's troops coming to the rear, and I will be as stable as Mount Tai."

Chen Qingzhi looked at the map and said: "The cities of Liaodong are all in the north. Along the way to the north, there are five counties: Dashi, Pingguo, Wenxian, Anshi, and Xinchang. I will lead the troops to raid Dashi first, and the governor of Yu will escort the luggage behind. , let’s take down Tashi first, and we’re negotiating.”

Afterwards, Chen Qingzhi raised [-] troops, led by Qin Qiong as the vanguard, and led [-] cavalry to raid the Ta clan.

Dashi is located in the southernmost part of Liaodong, hundreds of miles away, there is only such a city, and it is sparsely populated.There are only a few hundred soldiers and horses in the city.Qin Qiong led his troops to make a surprise attack, and with only one charge, he entered the city and captured the Ta clan.

Afterwards, Chen Qingzhi and Yu Yunwen's soldiers and horses all rushed to the Ta family to join them.

The Liaodong Peninsula is vast and sparsely populated, and there are mountains in the east, so as long as the western plains can be lived, especially in the northeastern part of Liaodong, the plains are connected in a line, and the counties such as Dashi, Pingguo, Wenxian, Anshi, and Xinchang are also connected. a straight line.There are no other counties around.

This kind of terrain is more suitable for raids by soldiers and horses.

Chen Qingzhi led his troops to take down the Ta family, and no soldiers and horses ever escaped.After controlling the defenders, the people are also very eager for the Han army to come, so they have no resistance.

Chen Qingzhi left Yu Yunwen to lead the luggage in the Ta family, and then led the troops all the way north. Two days later, he took Pingguo.

Later, Chen Qingzhi wrote to Yu Yunwen, asking him to lead his troops to Pingguo.

Between Xiangping and Xiangping, there are only Wenxian, Anshi, and Xinchang.

After discussing with the generals, Chen Qingzhi divided Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin with 5000 troops each, and raided Wen County and An City respectively, while he led the main force to attack Xinchang.

The army went all the way north, and when Chen Qingzhi's main force reached Xinchang, Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin had already captured Wen County and An City in the rear, and rushed to join Chen Qingzhi.

Due to the scarcity of cities in the south, the Han army took four cities in a few days, Liu Bei still didn't know anything about it, but Xinchang was only tens of miles away from Pingxiang.There are thousands of soldiers and horses inside, but it is not easy to attack in a short time, so Chen Qingzhi just stationed troops under the city and deliberately let the defenders in the city leave to report to Xiangping, while he rectified the troops and prepared to deal with the reinforcements from Xiangping.

If he defeated the reinforcements from Xiangping and attacked Xiangping with the momentum of a great victory, Liu Bei's soldiers must be panicked and unstable.
