Chapter 22: Flooded Yellow Turbans, Bloody Battle of the Liaohe River (1)

Speaking of which, after hearing Cheng Yuanzhi besieged Zhuo County, Yang Fan rushed to Zhuo County without stopping. However, things went against his wishes, and he was still one step late. Guan Yu's troops met Liu Bei and others who were fleeing in a hurry a hundred miles northwest of Zhuo County. Guan Yu was shocked when he heard the news that Zhuo County had fallen from Liu Bei and hurriedly sent a post cavalry to Zhuo County to monitor him, while he himself led Liu Bei and others to Yang Fan's central army.

"What? Zhuo County is lost?"

Yang Fan, who was leading his army to travel rushing, screamed after receiving Guan Yu's report.

"Yes, this is Liu Bei, the captain of Zhuo County's city gate? As soon as I escaped from Zhuo County, I met him on the way, so I brought him to the lord and confirmed it to the lord."

Guan Yu pointed at three strange-looking men not far away and said.

"Liu Bei?"

Looking at Liu Bei who was walking in front of him, Yang Fan sighed slightly and thought to himself that it was Liu Bei who guarded the city, no wonder he lost it.

This guy learned from Lu Zhi in his early years, but he was stubborn. I'm afraid he didn't even learn Lu Zhi's fur.

"The lower official Liu Bei, with his brother Jian Yong and Zhang Fei to pay homage to the Lord."

Liu Bei carefully sorted out his clothes and then bowed respectfully to Yang Fan.

"Zhang Fei? Jian Yong?"

Yang Fan was even more shocked. How could such a combination not be able to defend a small Zhuo County?

"Has my sir heard of my three brothers?"

Liu Bei was good at observing his expression and expression. When he saw Yang Fan's appearance, he immediately spoke.

"No? Please tell me in detail how Zhuo County fell."

Liu Bei's appearance did not feel guilty about losing the city at all, but instead wanted to please him, which made Yang Fan's heart suddenly feel disgusted.

"Ye, my elder brother is a relative of the Han Dynasty, but you, the bird official, are so neglecting us."

Zhang Fei, who was beside him, couldn't stand it anymore and shouted out loud.

“Bold!”

"presumptuous!"

"Clang!"

Guan Yu and Zhang Liao shouted angrily. Gao Shun beside Yang Fan was even more direct, and he pulled out his waist knife and was about to slash Zhang Fei?

"Oh? Are you still a relative of the Han Dynasty?"

Seeing this, Yang Fan quickly grabbed Gao Shun and looked at Liu Bei with surprise.

"The villain's name is Liu Bei, and his name is Xuande. He was originally the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan. Later, because his family was in trouble, he made a living in Zhuo County weaving mats and selling shoes."

Liu Bei then told the story of what happened in Zhuo County.

"Oh, I wonder what Xuande plans in the future?"

Yang Fan asked calmly, Liu Bei had great ambitions and was very good at winning people's hearts, so he dared not leave Liu Bei in his camp.

"I plan to go to Jizhou to join the family teacher and obey the orders under his tent."

Seeing that Yang Fan had no intention of taking him in, Liu Bei also became tactful and said.

"Zhongyun, prepare three good horses for the three heroes and dry food for the road."

Yang Fan immediately ordered Gao Shun.

"promise!"

Gao Shun was stunned for a moment, then took the order and left.

"Thank you for giving the horse to you, I will definitely report it to you in the future."

Liu Bei quickly thanked Yang Fan with gratitude.

"This is a small matter, and it can be regarded as a good relationship between me and Xuande."

Yang Fan smiled faintly.

After a while, Gao Shun brought three war horses and immediately hung up a few bags, which were obviously something that was tangled with dry food.

"This trip to Jizhou for hundreds of miles, Xuande is careful all the way."

Seeing this, Yang Fan also issued a direct order to expel guests.

"Sir, Xuande is ashamed of his leadership, so Xuande will leave. You must be careful of Cheng Yuanzhi in Zhuo County. This person is not a common man."

Before leaving, Liu Bei still spoke up to ask Yang Fan to be careful of Liu Bei.

"Don't worry, Xuande, I know it's amazing."

Yang Fan stood with his hands behind his back and looked at Liu Bei quietly.

"So, then go."

After saying that, Liu Bei led dozens of remaining soldiers to Jizhou, along with Zhang Fei, Jian Yong.

"Liu Bei is a native of Zhuo County, and his brother Zhang Fei is obviously a powerful general. Why doesn't the lord stay under the tent to listen to it?"

After Liu Bei left, Guan Yu asked in confusion.

"As soon as he lost the city, he wanted to find another way out to be promoted in the future. If Liu Bei had the intention of leaving Zhuo County, Fan would have left this person, but Yun Chang, do he have that idea?"

Yang Fan said disdainfully. In fact, Liu Bei wanted to express his intention to stay, but Yang Fan took the lead, so Liu Bei had to say that he would go to Lu Zhi.

"It's true that the lord said this. Yu was almost deceived by his hypocritical appearance."

Guan Yu carefully recalled Liu Bei's performance just now, and it was indeed as Yang Fan said, and then said angrily.

"Let's not talk about him anymore. Let's talk about Cheng Yuanzhi now. This person still has some strategy in his mind. How to break the city? Do you have any insights?"

At this time, Liu Bei was not enough to Yang Fan to pay attention to it, so he immediately sought opinions from everyone about breaking the city.

"This matter is really difficult. Cheng Yuanzhigang defeated Zhuo County. This is the time when the morale of the soldiers under his command is strong. We should avoid the edge for the time being."

Zhang Liao has been marching these days without putting it down, and he is very hardworking, and then speaks.

"Wen Yuan said it is right. Zhang Jiao ordered Cheng Yuanzhi to plunder Youzhou, just for the military treasury in Zhuo County. Now it has been obtained. I think Cheng Yuanzhi will go south to Jizhou soon and meet Zhang Jiao. Our army can ambush on the way and annihilate Cheng Yuanzhi."

Guan Yu thought more and said a good plan.

"What Chief Yun said coincided with Fan. Fan wanted to use some means on Cheng Yuanzhi's way back to the army. At least he could not easily send this batch of equipment to Zhang Jiao."

Yang Fan squinted his eyes and looked at the map of Youzhou. The map of the Han Dynasty was really unsatisfactory. At most, it was marked with counties and counties. It was not marked with the following. The rivers were just a line, and there were no mountains and rivers. This was really inconvenient for marching and fighting.

"Zhongyun, go to the nearby village to find a few villagers who are familiar with the environment here."

Although he decided to ambush Yang Fan, he was confused. At a loss, Yang Fan had to ask Gao Shun to find a few villagers who were familiar with the environment here.

"Lord, Ping has been to Youzhou for several times before. Ping remembers that there is a river in Rongcheng south of Zhuo County, called the Liao River, about dozens of feet wide, just across You. Between Ji and Ji, there are only two roads to go from Youzhou to Jizhou. You either cross the river or take a detour to Bingzhou. I wonder if this can help the lord?"

At this time, Zhang Shiping, who was standing beside him, said softly.

"Oh? Then let's send troops to Liaohe River and go and see this natural barrier."

After hearing the news, a bold idea suddenly arose in Yang Fan's heart.

A few days later, Yang Fan led his army to the edge of the Liao River in Rongcheng. A brief look showed that the Liao River was about thirty or forty meters wide and more than four meters deep. Now that spring is in full swing, the water is gentle. Yang Fan sent people to run along the river for more than a hundred miles, and only found a ferry. There were hundreds of fishing boats of different sizes parked at the ferry. It was supposed to be the ships used by Cheng Yuanzhi to cross the river before, and hundreds of Yellow Turban soldiers guarded the ferry.

"Master, is it that he wants to use a flooding plan?"

On that day, Yang Fan took Zhang Liao, Guan Yu and others to a small hill not far from the ferry, observing the situation at the ferry from top to bottom. Zhang Liaoshan thought, and when he saw Yang Fan's actions, his eyes lit up and he asked.

"Those who know me are Wenyuan."

Zhang Liao is not a loss to be a famous general praised by the world. With just some behaviors, he can guess your intentions.

"It's just that how to get to the other side needs to think of a way."

The only ferry in the Liao River is this, so it is really difficult to cross the river quietly.

"What's the problem? Yu has a plan."

Seeing Yang Fan showing worries on his face, Guan Yu immediately smiled.
