"The general has an order to dismantle all these quickly. Destroy all those that are unfinished and cannot be taken away. Do not keep them to benefit the enemy!"

"Team leader, this stone trebuchet will be completed in a few days, why should it be demolished again?" The craftsman who was doing the work asked in confusion. He had been rushing to work every day in the past few days, so why did it suddenly need to be demolished?

"You can do it if you are asked to do it. How come there is so much nonsense? Do you want to send you to see General Dong and ask him in person?" the team leader said angrily. He was also wondering why he was about to withdraw suddenly, but the superiors

Can you ask more about the order?

The craftsman suddenly fell silent, holding the iron pendant in his hand and looking at the semi-finished product in a daze.

"Hurry up!" the team leader urged after him.

The army camp was very busy. People were transporting supplies, moving camp and setting up tents. The former army had already started heading north, and a lot of food, grass and baggage were already on the way.

Even as far as Guangzong City, you can clearly see this scene.

"Brother, why did the army suddenly withdraw? Have they run out of rations?" Zhang Liang held a long sword with a phoenix mouth in his hand and looked at the enemy camp with a serious expression.

The two of them had been standing for about half an hour, observing every move of the enemy camp.

Zhang Jue's face was pale, his long hair was disheveled, and his eyes flickered fiercely.

"It's not like retreating falsely." Zhang Jiao said. If the enemy retreated falsely, they could just leave. Why destroy the facilities? "They are going to the second brother."

"How about I lead the army out and give it a try?" Zhang Liang suggested.

"No need for today, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

"That's the case, brother, please go back early. I'm afraid the illness will relapse. Just leave it to me to patrol the camps." Zhang Liang advised. Zhang Jiao was obviously ill, but he still visited the camps in person every day. Zhang Liang said many times

, Zhang Jiao did not accept it.

After hearing this, Zhang Jiao suddenly looked at this beam.

"Third brother, you must remember that stabilizing the morale of the army is the first priority of a general. If I am not around in the future, you must not act hastily. If you cannot understand the enemy's movements, you must remain unchanged in response to all changes. You must not

Being blinded by its confusion and losing vigilance, Guangzong's troops have enough food and are not afraid of consumption."

After hearing Zhang Jue's words about having enough food and troops, Zhang Liang's heart couldn't help but tremble. He knew what the food his elder brother meant.

"I understand, brother."

"Follow me to inspect each camp. I will share with you the news of the general's retreat." Zhang Jiao said and walked towards the city, followed closely by Zhang Liang.

…

At dawn, Zhao Yun woke up Liu Qing from his deep sleep.

"Lord, urgent report from Guangping!"

Liu Qing specifically told him that no matter how late the night was or how early the morning was, he must be woken up as soon as possible after receiving an urgent report.

When Liu Qing opened his eyes, he saw only hazy light outside the window, and saw Zhao Yun standing aside.

Liu Qing was stationed in Yixian these days and rarely had any leisure time, but he was always feeling uneasy and had a premonition that something bad was going to happen.

This uneasiness may be the suffocating feeling of calm before the storm.

Zhao Yun held up the oil lamp. Liu Qing saw the newspaper and scanned it.

"Dong Zhuo is here!" Liu Qing said.

"Who is Dong Zhuo?" Zhao Yun obviously had never heard of this name.

"The governor of Bingzhou, the governor of Hedong, or in other words, a social expert?"

"Is he the person who came to replace General Lu Zhonglang?" Based on this official title, Zhao Yun also confidently guessed his identity, "Is there anything special about this person?"

"Zilong wants to hear it, but I can tell you. It is said that Dong Zhuo has loved chivalry since he was a child, making friends with heroes, and even being acquainted with the leaders of the Qiang tribe. He himself was extremely powerful and good at volley shooting. I also heard that in this life

He will have kind eyebrows and kind eyes, he will love his soldiers like his own son, he will eat and live with them, but if there are any rewards, he will share them all."

Liu Qing told everything about Dong Zhuo's first half of his life in his impression. As for the second half of his life, it hadn't happened yet.

Don't spread rumors about something that didn't happen.

"It seems that Dong Zhuo is also a hero."

Who says otherwise? It's a pity that history didn't take the right path. Perhaps history didn't leave him the right path and forced him to become the devil.

"Let's go see the map!" Liu Qing casually put on a robe and walked towards the side hall.

"Lord, it's time to report in. The food transport team should be halfway up the road."

As soon as Zhao Yun reminded him, Liu Qing seemed to realize where this uneasiness came from. It was that he suddenly had a large amount of wealth and food, but these wealth and food had not been digested by him. They faced many challenges in Yixian and on the way.

risk.

If a new official in Yi County takes office, he will definitely take it as the property of the imperial court, and Liu Qing will not be able to monopolize it.

Now that Dong Zhuo is here, he knows that Dong Zhuo is going to attack Quyang, and Guangzong will lose control by then. Zhang Jiao is likely to send troops north to assist. The extension of the battle line to the north will inevitably cut off his food transportation channel.

Liu Qing is not afraid of fighting, but the grain transport team is very fragile and cannot be destroyed by the enemy.

"Zilong, Dong Zhuo came under the imperial edict and wanted to fight the Yellow Turbans decisively. Xia Quyang, who has fewer troops, should be his primary target, so he will definitely give up Guangzong's defense line. Once the officers and soldiers leave, Zhang Jiao will inevitably expand outwards.

, touching our grain road." Liu Qing marked the location on the map, "Jingxian County, Nangong County, is located on the line connecting Guangzong and Xiaquyang. If Zhang Jiao comes out, his purpose must be to take Jingxian County first, and then

Take Nangong to consolidate Guangzong's defense line."

"Lord, what should we do?"

"You and I are too far away from Guangzong, and we can't reach it, but..." Liu Qing clicked on the map with his fingertips, "I have Fengxiao, Fengxiao may not be as he wishes."

The importance of this batch of grain and grass has been reported back to Guangping by Liu Qing through the letter. With Guo Jia here, such an important matter as Dong Zhuo's retreat will naturally not escape his eyes. He should be able to think of the conflict between Jing County and Nangong County on the grain road.

importance.

"Zilong, there is no threat to Yi County at the moment, and all the military rations from the ferry have been transported back. You lead four hundred elite cavalry and carry enough food and grass. Set off immediately and station yourself between Nangong County and Jingxian County. Once you are in place, you can send your troops

Report the location to Fengxiao."

"Lord, what about you?"

"I still have nearly a hundred people, plus fifty guards, who will close the city and defend it. Nothing will go wrong. It's just dawn. You must gather the troops and horses to set off immediately. Remember to send more sentries to investigate the situation. If there is any news, report it to Feng at the nearest

filial piety!"

"Here!"

After Zhao Yun accepted the order, he trotted out, while Liu Qing sat down and continued to look at the marks on the map, "Everything I can think of and what I can do seems to have been done. Fengxiao, father and uncle, it's up to you."

It’s over!”

At the same time, five hundred miles away, outside Guangping County.

A group of men and horses gathered in the east of the city. If you distinguish them carefully, you can find that they are divided into three square formations. The largest square formation holds long soldiers with different types of spears and halberds. There is also a small square formation with bows and bags on their backs.

As for arrows, the remaining phalanx is relatively loose. The weapons are of different lengths, the protective gear is not complete, and the formation is also crooked.

At the city gate, Guo Jia looked at Ju Shou riding a horse and carrying a sword. He felt a sense of heroism in his heart, and immediately raised his hands and said, "The county magistrate is so brave. I'm going to pass through a key place in the county, so I'll leave it to you!"

Jushu led the troops for the first time, and he felt a bit heroic in his heart, "Guangping has all the best troops, and you should do your best to serve as a filial piety."

"Don't worry, county magistrate. With the giant deer here, Guangping won't be able to get into Zhang Jiao's eyes!" Guo Jia put down his hand and said to Gan Lai beside him, "Gan Lai, Guangping's grain truck has run out of things to do. I'll give it to you."

A thousand civilians, a few cattle and horses, must transport the necessary grain and grass to Jingxian County as soon as possible, and then assist the magistrate of Juxian County. If you know the Yellow Turban, you can give me more advice."

"I already know." Gan Lai said.
