The next morning before dawn, Liu Xin led his soldiers to the outside of Zhangjiazhuang.

The main troops of the five villages have all lined up. Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei are riding on their horses. The others can only walk on foot.

The auxiliary soldiers are still sorting out the food and grass on the carriage. This time they are traveling with two months of food and grass, a total of more than 1,200 stones of food. There are more than 30 carriages and many auxiliary soldiers carrying food and grass. The pressure of more than 200 auxiliary soldiers is huge.

Not light.

Liu Xin also rode on a horse. He only had one horse in his house that could be ridden, and the others had to walk on their own.

The army started to move, and a big flag was erected in front with a big word "Liu" written on it. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led 500 regular soldiers and started to move forward. Liu Bei ordered the others to follow, while Liu Xin led his own team

People go last.

After walking for more than 20 miles, the sky began to lighten up. The speed of the army in front continued to slow down, but the auxiliary troops in the rear could no longer keep up.

The physique of the auxiliary soldiers cannot be compared with that of the regular soldiers. They carry too much stuff on their backs, and most of the horses pulling the carriages are just draft horses. When the road starts to get worse, it is difficult for the horses to pull them.

Liu Bei rode at the front of the auxiliary troops and ignored Liu Xin. Liu Xin also knew that he did not want to see him. It was entirely Zhang Fei's fault that he sent the troops this time. He would go home when the Yellow Turban Army of Yan State and Zhuo County were wiped out.

He was going to farm hard, and he didn't want to be wandering around with Liu Bei.

The troops were dispatched so quietly this time that even the county magistrate did not see him off. Liu Bei's relationship in the city was not on good terms either.

He did not send troops to Jizhou to offend the Lu family, and now he has a bad relationship with the county magistrate. It seems that he is determined to defect to Colonel Zou Jing.

This era is an era that depends on the background. It is normal for the county magistrate to ignore the rebel army formed by Liu Bei. Unless the rebel army can obtain great military honors and finally share some with him, the county magistrate accepts a group of rebels and gives Liu Bei an official position. It is considered merciful.

Until noon, they had left Zhuoxian for more than 40 miles, and the auxiliary soldiers began to be unable to walk. Liu Bei ordered to camp and rest on the spot. Zhang Fei led a group of soldiers ahead to explore the road and conduct reconnaissance. Guan Yu asked the soldiers to occupy favorable terrain. They

Nothing sloppy at all.

Liu Xin asked Zhou Tai to send soldiers to guard the surrounding areas and ask people to replenish fodder for their horses. The firemen began to bury pots to make rice. One thousand was divided into one thousand area, and two golden watchdogs (tuo four sounds) were placed on the ground.

Just dig a hole in the ground and put in firewood to cook.

The golden watch is a copper pot used for cooking during the march. It is used to make fires during the day and to watch at night. When encountering an enemy attack, knock it quickly and the auxiliary soldiers will quickly pack up their things. It is very useful!

Of course, a gold watch is not cheap. It costs at least 3,000 yuan. A craftsman with poor skills may spend 5,000 yuan to make it. This shows that the three Liu Bei brothers have made very good preparations for this expedition.

Two-quarters of an hour later, Zhang Fei rode back from the front, followed by a group of soldiers. Zhang Fei dismounted and came to Liu Bei's side. He said something to Liu Bei. After a while, Liu Bei sent his own soldiers to find Liu Xin and asked him to fight with him.

Zhou Tai went over together.

"About 3 miles ahead is Xialiu Station, which has been occupied by more than 500 rioters.

Now Liuyi is an important supply point heading north to Ji County. 60 miles further north is Anyi County, where more than 3,000 Yellow Turban troops are stationed. They are our first opponent this time." Liu Bei took out a sheepskin and gave it to

Several important places are marked on it. Anyi County is only a small county with a population of 5,000, but it is the main transportation route between Zhuo County and Yan State.

"Now the rebels in Liuyi are probably the outpost of the Yellow Turban Army in Anyi County. We must take them down completely in one go." Guan Yu said while looking at the map.

"Brother, how do you want to fight?" Zhang Fei looked at Liu Bei and asked.

"These 500 rioters probably don't have many weapons. It's not difficult for us to capture them.

Let everyone eat quickly. After that, we will directly capture Liuyi, and our three brothers will kill the enemy together. Liu Xin, you will lead the rear army and follow slowly." Liu Bei said.

"Yes!" Liu Xin responded.

He has no idea of ​​​​striving for credit. Even if he makes great achievements here, it may not have much to do with him in the end. It would be best if he can follow the main army all the way and capture prisoners from behind and collect the spoils of war.

After lunch, the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang led the five hundred main soldiers to Liuyi. Liu Xin directed all the auxiliary soldiers in the rear to pack up and start on their way.

After walking a few steps, Liu Xin heard a cry of killing in front of him. When he got closer, he saw that five hundred regular soldiers had already entered the ranks of the rioters. Screams continued to be heard from the victims, and many rioters were holding their hands.

They only held some simple wooden sticks, which did not pose any threat to Liu Bei's army wearing leather armor. The mobs ran around like frightened lambs. When caught up, they knelt down and begged for mercy.

Liu Xin saw a group of rebels fleeing in their direction. He asked Zhou Tai to lead the team to the front to prevent the rebels from approaching the rear. As a result, when the rebels saw Qilin Villa and others, they all knelt on the ground and kowtowed from a distance. Liu Xin saw this

I couldn't help but feel pain in my heart.

These rebels just wanted to survive. If there was a chance of survival, they would not raise the banner of rebellion. Some of the rebels saw that there was an army interception, and turned around and fled back. It didn't take long for two Centurion soldiers to attack them again.

They rushed over.

Without Liu Xin taking action, 500 regular soldiers easily eliminated all the rebels. When he led the rear army to Xialiu Station, the rebels had already been gathered together.

Liu Bei looked at the rioters in front of him with a sad face. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei followed behind him. The corpses of the rioters were everywhere on the ground, and some of the rioters were injured but not dead, struggling hard on the ground.

"Brother, how should we deal with these rioters?" Zhang Fei looked at the thin and dry rioters in front of him, with a trace of unbearable expression on his face.

If they let the victims go, they would definitely go to the Yellow Turban Army again. Looking at the eyes of the people kneeling on the ground looking for survival, Liu Bei could not make the decision to kill them all.

"They are ordinary people, and they have no choice but to become traitors. I can't bear to kill them.

Second brother, go and count the spoils of war, gather all the prisoners, and bring them to Jixian to let General Zou Jing deal with them!" Liu Bei said.

Guan Yu and his men quickly presented the statistics of all the prisoners of war's trophies. In this battle, they killed 172 rebels, captured 455 people, and seized 27 tattered weapons, 3 sets of tattered leather armor, more than ten taels of gold and silver, and more than 6,000 yuan in money.

The harvest can be said to be very little.

Only two of the rebels were slightly injured, and the opponent only had 27 weapons, which was no match for the rebels. This also gave everyone full confidence in the future.

Liu Bei took his personal followers and sent all the prisoners of war to the rear army. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led the front army and continued to move forward. However, it was only a few miles away and many of the prisoners could no longer walk.

Liu Bei ordered the army to camp and rest in place, and began to cook food for the insurgents, which suddenly slowed down their marching speed.

***The author has something to say***

There is a gap between the Three Kingdoms plot written by the author and "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". For example, the "Qinglong Yanyue Sword" and "Zhangba Snake Spear" were not given to the brothers from the beginning, and Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang only gave them to them in June.

Horses, iron ingots.
