Chapter 742
The Yellow Turban Army entered Nanyang from Runan, and was active on the border between the two counties, mainly in Wuyang County on the border of Nanyang, and stationed in Shangjie Mountain and Dahu Mountain around Wuyang County.

When spring came, the Yellow Turban Army did not go down the mountain to loot all winter, so there was not much food and grass with them.So they went down again to snatch it.

Shangjie Mountain is located less than [-] miles north of Wuyang County. The warm sun in early spring has melted the snow on the mountain path. Although the weather is cold, even if you do activities for half a day, you will feel hot all over.It's not like in the cold winter, when you are wrapped in cotton clothes all over your body, you dare not open your hands and feet.

In the words of the common people, you don't need to hide at home to keep warm, you can go out to work.

On the snow-covered mountain road, the lower layer of snow has melted, and the water is flowing to lower places.On the road, Yibiao Huangjin came down from the mountain.Wearing yellow scarves on their heads and wearing rough clothes, they went all the way down from the top of the mountain, and they didn't feel much cold after the long journey.

In the lead were three cavalry, followed by about two hundred people on foot.Although they are poorly dressed, their faces are full of red. Everyone has weapons in their hands, but they are not like desperadoes who have been hiding for several years without water and food.

"Brothers, are you tired after driving for more than an hour? There is a village ahead, let's go in later and have a good time, and the rest will be taken back to the cottage!" The leader of the Yellow Turban Cavalry waved a long knife and pointed at the village. The village ahead laughed.

Why have fun?It is burning, killing, looting, rape and looting. These Yellow Turban soldiers have been active for many years, but they have already lost their humanity and have done all kinds of bad things.

After a while, a group of more than 200 people rushed to a nearby village. From a distance, it was terribly quiet. It was only approaching noon, but there was no smoke rising from the kitchen.

A trace of doubt flashed in the eyes of the leader of the Yellow Turban soldier, pointing to a bandit soldier and said, "Go in and find out."

The soldier walked into the village tremblingly, and after a while, he ran out in a panic: "It's not good, there is no one in the village, and everything is gone. I'm afraid he ran away long ago."

"Run away?" The yellow turban cavalry looked condensed: "Nanyang's legal system is strict, and the people are not allowed to run around casually. The people here are gone. It must be because the official uniforms have moved, and they want to fortify the wall and clear the country."

A cavalryman next to him frowned and said: "This is not the style of the Han army? They can clearly send troops to destroy us, why do they want to fortify the wall and clear the country? Can't bear the loss of soldiers and horses? No, if it is to fortify the wall and clear the field, the loss will be even greater. Doesn't make sense? This What's Liu Yu's idea?"

These two cavalrymen were obviously not ordinary yellow scarf bandits. After pondering for a while, one cavalryman said: "Let's continue to investigate and find out the plan of the Han army."

"Brothers, let's move on, there is still a village ahead, we will definitely gain something!"

A group of people continued to advance under the bewitching of the leading cavalry, but the people in Shangjie Mountain and the surrounding villages of Dahu Mountain had already moved to nearby county towns or defensive fortresses.

A group of people wandered around for a day until the sun was setting, but they got nothing.After wandering around in the last uninhabited village, the group prepared to go back to the mountain.

At this time, a patrolling infantry suddenly came to report: "Boss, more than ten cavalry are coming from behind!"

"Isn't it just a dozen or so cavalry? I'm afraid they are scouts from the Han army. What's there to be afraid of? Come on, brothers, surround me, just in time to ask the Han army's plan." The leading cavalryman got on his horse and brandished a long knife and ordered.

The cavalrymen who came were Chang Mao, Yang Jizhou and his party.

It was the first time for everyone to lead troops to go out on an expedition, but their eyes were darkened. According to Di Yong and Guo Huai's suggestion, they should first choose a place to garrison the troops.Everyone turned their attention to the village that had been vacated.

All the valuable things in the village were taken away, and they were not afraid of bandits coming, so the people in the houses did not lock them.Soldiers only live in the village temporarily, and other food, grass and clothing belong to the army.As long as you rely on villages to garrison and send less than soldiers to conduct strict patrols, it will be an indestructible camp.

After all, everyone was wild, and when they sent troops for the first time, they put the army in the rear, but a group of people went ahead and came out to survey the terrain.

Everyone chatted and laughed and arrived outside the village. Di Yong pointed to the village in front of him and said: "According to the people, this village is the largest near Wuyang, and there are fences and walls around it. camp."

Chang Mao waved his fist and said, "Okay, with such a camp, it must be indestructible. Let's see how the Yellow Turbans attack."

"Hey, I said General Chang, we are here to suppress the bandits, why are you still afraid of the Yellow Turbans coming to attack?" Yang Jizhou on the side laughed.

Chang Mao blushed, turned his eyes, shook his head and said, "The yellow scarves are powerful. They see us as a group of children, and there are only five thousand soldiers. They must relax their vigilance and come to attack. We have this fortress, and we will definitely win a big victory if we wait for work." , I will be the main general, what do you know as a pioneer."

"Hey, General Chang is really extraordinary, he has the foresight before sending out troops." Yang Jizhou laughed loudly, and everyone also joked.

Guo Huai coughed lightly and said: "What General Chang said is also unreasonable. The Yellow Turban Army may send troops to attack when they see that we are a group of children. We can show the enemy's weakness first and lure him to attack. Lay an ambush, maybe it will be rewarding."

Di Yong nodded again and again, agreeing with Guo Huai's strategy.

Chang Mao suddenly gained confidence, imitating his old man Chang Yuchun who wanted to stroke his beard, but found that his chin was empty, so he patted his chest and said: "Look, the two lieutenants agree with this general's statement, which is consistent with this general's strategy. By coincidence, we did it.”

A group of people chatted and laughed, and they were already approaching the village. At this moment, two hundred Yellow Turban soldiers surrounded the village from the left and right, and the first three cavalry rode out.

"Okay, I didn't expect to have meat to eat when I first came here. Brothers, kill me." Seeing this situation, Chang Mao was overjoyed, and waved King Yu's lance to go forward.

Di Yong quickly pulled Chang Mao back, and said in a low voice: "This group of people must be the Yellow Turban spies. Didn't they mean to show weakness to the enemy? The general can fight with the leading cavalry. I will notify the rear cavalry to scare them away. That's it, the Yellow Turban thieves You must have underestimated us."

Chang Mao patted his head, nodded again and again and said: "I almost forgot about the big things, brothers, let's act with me and pretend to be scared."

Everyone nodded in agreement and gathered together to look defensive.

Chang Mao was trembling, pretending to be scared, and ordered: "Di Yong, the bandits are powerful, go and inform the rear troops."

"No!" Since the Yellow Turban Army only had three cavalrymen, Di Yong had horses, but others couldn't stop him, allowing Di Yong to break out of the siege.

The leader of the yellow turban cavalry didn't take it seriously, and laughed at Chang Mao and the others: "I said that the Han army has no one to use, right? Send a group of boys over?"

Another cavalryman rushed out, pointed at the leader Chang Mao with a long knife and asked: "Boy, I will ask you a few questions, and you should answer them honestly, or I will cut off your head."

Several people pretended to be trembling, and Chang Mao cupped his hands and said, "Excuse me, King of the Mountain, I'm sure I'll know everything and say everything."

"Hmm!" The Yellow Turban Cavalry was very satisfied with Chang Mao's performance, and said coldly, "Who are you?"

Behind Chang Mao, Guo Huai was afraid that Chang Mao might say the wrong thing, so he reminded him in a low voice: "Let's just say that we are the sons of Nanyang military officers, and we came here to make military exploits."

"We are the children of the major generals in Nanyang, and we are the main generals who will attack you this time." Chang Mao cupped his hands.

"Huh? How dare you lie to me, how can you guys be the chief general?" the yellow turban cavalry stared and shouted coldly.

Chang Mao quickly said: "I didn't lie to you. My father said that your Yellow Turban Army is just a bunch of mobs, so my father asked Governor Liu to let us lead the army to attack you."

"Hahaha, the big man looks like ZTE on the surface, but he didn't expect to be so dirty in the dark? The world is not settled, so let the children of the family lead the troops to gain military exploits?" The leading cavalry laughed.

Then the Yellow Turban Cavalry asked several other questions, such as troop strength, food and grass, etc.

Guo Huai who was hiding behind Chang Mao's face darkened. The cavalry led by the secret passage were unusual. If they were ordinary yellow scarf bandits, how could they have such insight?But it was limited to this, and was still deceived by Chang Mao and others.

"Since they are the sons of generals, let's capture them just in time. At that time, Nanyang will be turned upside down? It's better than us using the yellow scarf to deal with Nanyang." Another cavalry suggested in a low voice.

The leading cavalryman nodded, waved his long knife and ordered: "Brothers, take them down for me!"

Chang Mao was furious when he heard the words: "Didn't you say that you will let us go, how can you break your promise and get fat?"

"Haha, I meant to spare your life, not to let you go!" The leading cavalry laughed.

"Damn it!" Chang Mao quietly threw King Yu on the ground, picked up a machete on the horse, and said coldly: "Don't think that the young master is easy to bully, the simple knife in my hand is also very sharp!"

"Haha, let me see how sharp the knife is in your hand today! Grandpa will do you a favor and come and get you himself!" The leading cavalryman urged his horse out.

"Don't defeat him, just a tie!" Guo Huai reminded Chang Mao in a low voice as he urged his horse to get out.

Chang Mao nodded, and rode out on his horse brandishing a simple knife, while the yellow turban cavalry wielded a long spear.The two turned their horses and fought to one place, and after only two rounds, Chang Mao knew the depth of the cavalry.

Although Chang Mao has a bad temper, he is not a fool. After the fight, he was secretly surprised: "This cavalryman's skill is not very good. I can kill him in one round, but his martial arts is not the method of ordinary bandits, but like an army. The skills of an officer. Your Majesty has always said that the Yellow Turban colluded with Zhao Kuangyin, so could it be that this thief is an officer sent by Zhao Kuangyin?"

The two fought for more than ten rounds, and the yellow turban cavalry couldn't beat Chang Mao. A cavalry behind sarcastically said: "You can't even beat a child, how did you do it?"

The cavalryman cried bitterly: "This kid was born as a general, and he is good at martial arts. Brother, don't laugh at me, come up quickly and help me take him down!"
