"My lord, the food and grass stored on the south bank of Ma River is more than ten thousand stones!"

Zhao Yun said excitedly after roughly counting the food and grass that the Yellow Turban Army had hoarded at the ferry.

"Zilong, can you guess how many troops Cheng Yuanzhi sent to cross the Ma River?" Liu Qing asked.

"Yixian County is less than two days' journey from Zhuoxian County. Even if he sends out all 50,000 troops, it will be enough for five to ten days. However, Cheng Yuanzhi will definitely not give up on Yixian County, so..." Zhao Yun seemed to

A possibility came to mind.

"So Yi County has plenty of food and grass!" Liu Qing continued.

"Could it be that my lord wants to take Yixian County? But we only have five hundred cavalry. If the enemy guards at the gate, there is nothing we can do!" Zhao Yun said helplessly.

"Zilong thinks about it again, what else can he do?"

"My lord, I don't know Yun Shi!"

"Haha!" Liu Qing laughed loudly and joked: "Zilong is an upright person like you, and uses troops quickly and decisively. Naturally, it is not easy to think about weird things. Anyway, I have a plan. You should act according to my words. First..."

Zhao Yun looked at what Liu Qing said with a complicated expression in his eyes, which was both incredible and a little embarrassing.

In the middle of Zhuo County, Cheng Yuanzhi's 30,000-strong army was heading north along the official road. After plundering the counties in northern Jizhou, this army had been built into an elite force equipped with weapons and armor.

While walking, a shout suddenly came from behind: "Report——"

The visitor quickly rushed to the front and saluted Cheng Yuanzhi: "Commander Qu, our army was attacked by unknown cavalry on the south bank of the ferry. There were hundreds of people. Our army lost more than ten thousand stones of food and grass!"

"What!" Cheng Yuanzhi was shocked!

This is the army ration for this expedition. Now the soldiers can only carry food for one day, and only a few hundred dan can be brought across the shore. How can they eat enough!

"Do you know who made the sneak attack?" Cheng Yuanzhi asked.

"I don't know, the enemy didn't show their flags, but from across the river, I saw that the troops were in uniform uniforms and armor. They should be officers and soldiers."

Cheng Yuanzhi pondered for a while, how could there be other armed forces in Hejian? Unless it was Guo Dian, but wasn't he stationed at the ferry and guarding the Digong General?

The commander next to Cheng Yuanzhi asked: "Commander Qu, our army has lost its food and grass. Do you want to return to the army?"

"Deng Mao should have arrived at Zhuoxian by now. He is waiting to join forces with our army. How can the enemy not surrender and continue to advance!" Cheng Yuanzhi said.

The commander was still worried, "Commander Qu, if Yi County is lost, our army will be in danger!"

"There are only hundreds of cavalry, why should we be afraid! Unless the horse can fly! Okay, don't talk too much and just carry out the military orders!" Cheng Yuanzhi said angrily.

The commander was speechless, so Cheng Yuanzhi said to the messenger again: "Go and keep an eye on the ferry. If the enemy retreats, ask Yixian County to transport more food to us in case of unexpected events. Remember, small quantity and multiple times, each time you leave the city."

It cannot exceed three hundred stones, and patrols should be sent out during transportation!"

The messengers took the order and left. As soon as Cheng Yuanzhi turned around, he saw dozens of cavalry appearing on the official road ahead, and he immediately became vigilant.

"Shuai Qu is one of ours!" the commander said.

Our people? Cheng Yuanzhi suddenly had a bad premonition. If he is our people, there is only one possibility——

Deng Mao has defeated Zhuoxian!

The dozens of cavalrymen were in a state of confusion and despair. They often looked back while riding, for fear of seeing the pursuers.

"It's Qu Shuai!"

"We are saved!"

The cavalrymen shouted one after another, urging the horses to run faster. When they arrived in front of Cheng Yuanzhi, they all rolled off their horses, knelt on the ground and cried: "Commander Qu, Deng Xianfeng was stabbed to death by an ordinary enemy cavalryman with a spear."

, and there are hundreds of such cavalry!"

When Cheng Yuanzhi heard this, his face looked solemn. How could there be such a brave army in Zhuoxian County? Could it be that the border troops were mobilized to defend it?

With the ability and experience of the border troops who had been fighting against the Huns and Xianbei for many years, it was possible to kill Deng Mao with one spear.

However, the border troops cannot leave the border for a long time, so Zhuoxian must not be able to defend it for a long time.

"Go down with the order, set up camp on the spot, deploy the horses on the official road, give the order... wait!" Cheng Yuanzhi suddenly changed his mind.

He looked at the end of the official road ahead, and a group of cavalry suddenly appeared.

Is this the cavalry that the defeated soldier was talking about?

"Line up! Get ready to fight!" Cheng Yuanzhi shouted immediately!

Liu Bei, Guan Zhang, and Zou Jing pursued the Yellow Turban deserters all the way. Although there were only more than a hundred cavalry, the Yellow Turbans honored them wherever they went, and those who did not kneel down and surrender were killed along the way.

A few people led more than a hundred riders and looked from a distance. They saw a group of people and horses in front of them, with a huge momentum.

Liu Bei stopped immediately and said: "General Zou, Cheng Yuanzhi's troops must be in front of us. Should we stop advancing?"

Zou Jing stopped the cavalry and looked ahead warily. Cheng Yuanzhi's army was blocking the middle of the official road, and he could not see the end.

"The thieves are so powerful that they really shouldn't advance rashly." Zou Jing said unhurriedly.

At this time Zhang Fei said: "No matter how many soldiers and horses he has, the Yellow Turban is nothing more than a piece of grass. What's the difference between 12,000 and 30,000? Why should we be afraid!"

Zhang Fei was very eager to fight and was very disdainful.

"Third brother, don't be upset, put the overall situation first," Guan Yu advised.

On the other side, Cheng Yuanzhi saw that the opponent had stopped, indicating that the enemy was afraid of his own strength. After all, with an army of 30,000, he could not kill them all even if he stood still.

Suddenly, the hundreds of riders suddenly turned around.

Are the officers and soldiers about to escape? Cheng Yuanzhi immediately had a flash of impulse: This is the moment to defeat the enemy!

"Brothers, the officials and thieves are afraid of us. Follow me and kill them. Behead each of them and give you a thousand rewards!" Cheng Yuanzhi suddenly ordered.

Hundreds of cavalrymen walking at the front of the team immediately rose up and rushed towards the opponent.

When Zhang Fei saw the movement coming from behind, he looked back and said excitedly: "The thieves are going to kill Xiang Shang, and I, Zhang Yide, will not let him go no matter what!"

Zhang Fei immediately clapped his horse and turned around, parting his eight-foot long snake spear, and faced the enemy.

"Third brother, I'm here to help you!" Guan Yu saw Zhang Fei making his own decision, so he didn't say much, turned around, and ran towards him.

"Second brother and third brother, Xuande is here!" Liu Bei didn't hesitate and immediately went to kill him.

Three people versus three hundred? Zou Jing had a headache watching it. What did Gongsun Bogui introduce? He didn't obey military orders!

Zhang Fei charged into the crowd, sweeping his spear across, eyes wide open, and roaring one, two or three times from time to time. With unrivaled momentum, wherever he went, waves of blood and severed limbs rolled, and the Yellow Turban cavalrymen flipped on their backs.

Cheng Yuanzhi saw Zhang Fei killing a lot of people, and became annoyed for no reason. He drew a knife and approached Zhang Fei, trying to sneak attack Zhang Fei. Unexpectedly, a powerful and tall figure emerged from behind Zhang Fei, holding a surprisingly large knife in one hand, and beheaded him head-on.

Down.

If the sneak attack fails, the body and head are in a different place.

Guan Yu beheaded Cheng Yuanzhi with one hand, stroked his beard with his left hand, and looked at Zhang Fei with a smile.

"How can second brother steal my opponent?"

When Guan Yu didn't answer, Liu Bei rushed forward and said: "Cheng Yuanzhi is dead, why don't you surrender on the spot!"

The cavalrymen who were originally fighting Zhang Fei lost their fighting spirit when they saw that Cheng Yuanzhi's head was missing, and turned around and fled south.

Most of the infantry, upon hearing that Commander Qu was dead, chose to surrender.

Zou Jing was speechless. Is this the end?

Three people came out to kill the enemy chief? Did 30,000 enemy soldiers surrender? Hundreds of cavalrymen dispersed like birds and beasts?

"Follow me to hunt down the deserters and drive them out of Youzhou completely!" Seeing that the situation was within his grasp, Zou Jing immediately called on his men to pursue him.

They chased until dusk fell, and hundreds of cavalrymen fled from the borders of Youzhou in embarrassment.

At night, a group of people came to the city of Yi County dejectedly, shouting at the city.
Chapter completed!
