Chapter 270 Reunion

The flag fluttered against the wind, and an army gradually emerged from the front.

Three hundred cavalry came roaring, and Gan Ning galloped fast on his horse.

Deng Dang led [-] armed soldiers and followed closely behind.

Four hundred crossbowmen strode forward under the leadership of Jia Nian.

The current deployment of troops is the result of detailed discussions between Jia Nian, Lu Su and others.

"Who is here and why is blocking our army's way?" Gan Ning pulled the reins, and all three hundred riders stopped.

Liu Ye looked at this army and saw that most of them were third-tier elites, and gradually showed a satisfied expression.

Who would have thought that Changhe Town, which had only a hundred soldiers at the beginning, could have the power it has now.

"Liu, the patriarch of the Han Dynasty..." Liu Bi said loudly.

The sound of horseshoes interrupted Liu Bi's voice, and Jia Nian, who found something unusual, came over with Deng Dang on a war horse.

"Don't be rude, this is my good friend Liu Ziyang, a member of the Han dynasty." Seeing Liu Ye standing in front, Jia Nian was overjoyed and quickly got off his horse.

Gan Ning was taken aback, and quickly got off his horse.

"It turned out to be Liu Junjun, and the last generals Gan Ning and Deng Dang paid a visit to the military division." Gan Ning and Deng Dang bowed and saluted.

All the soldiers of Changhe Town shouted at the same time: "Meet the military advisor!"

"Military division?" Liu Ye's eyes were puzzled.

Jia Nian explained: "Zi Yang left without saying goodbye, I dare not forget it in Changhe Town for a day"

"What does this have to do with the position of military adviser?" Liu Ye felt an inexplicable warmth in his heart, with a vague look of anticipation.

Jia Nian explained with a smile: "The reason why Changhe Town has the power it has today is all because of Ziyang's advice, and it was able to devour Chaohu Lake in one fell swoop."

"Furthermore, Zi Yang's household registration is in Changhe Town, so he won't be qualified for the post of military advisor after destroying Chaohu Lake?" Jia Nian asked.

Then the pride in my heart increased greatly: "Now I have two thousand armor-wearing men in Changhe Town, with a population of tens of thousands. Although I can't say anything bold and ambitious, I can still keep one side peaceful."

"What's more, Zijing sits in Wanxian County and Chaohu Lake and recruits refugees. When he returns home, five thousand soldiers and horses will be there," Jia Nian said, showing sincere eyes.

Liu Bi, who was standing beside Liu Ye, couldn't help clicking his tongue. It wasn't that Jia Nian had a lot of troops, but that he was amazed at the speed of development of Changhe Town.

How long has passed, unexpectedly, Mr. Jia has gathered two thousand soldiers and horses.

Liu Ye smiled and did not give a definite answer, but changed the topic: "Zijing's letter said that you are here because of the Gepo yellow scarf."

"Exactly..." Although Jia Nian was a little disappointed, he quickly adjusted his mentality, and he had to take his time when some things were urgent.

Liu Ye asked, "Then do you know the real situation in Yuzhou?"

"I would like to hear more about it," Jia Nian replied.

Gan Ning and Deng Dang also looked expectantly at the same time.

"The imperial court dispatched [-] troops to go straight to Gepo, led by Bao Hong, the captain of the cavalry school in Xiyuan, but they set up camp on the downhill forty miles away from Runan City, forming a corner with Runan. Afterwards, they sat and watched Gepo's yellow scarves Withdrawing troops from all over the place and doing nothing”

Liu Ye paused for a moment, and then continued: "I reach out to Runan for food every day, showing an insatiable appearance."

"But Yuzhou was already dilapidated and could not afford the food for the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses stationed in the camp. Therefore, Bao Hong and the governor of Yuzhou were almost on fire. For example, today, ten envoys came to urge the food, almost every half a day. In an hour, I will come for a ride," Liu Ye said.

Jia Nian gradually fell into deep thought.

"Is it true that Bao Hong's army is short of food?" Jia Nian asked.

Liu Ye nodded, then shook his head: "There is neither food shortage nor food shortage."

"Why?" Jia Nian was a little confused.

Seeing that Jia Nian was confused, Liu Ye asked, "Are you really acting like Bao Hong to satisfy your selfish desires, greedy for life and afraid of death?"

"I would like to hear more about it." Jia Nian vaguely seemed to understand something.

Liu Ye said slowly: "Gepo's Yellow Turbans divide their troops to attack all directions. If the cavalry battalion arrives and they fight bloody battles in Gepo, let alone whether they can win or not, so what if they just capture Gepo? There are hundreds of thousands of people. What else can you do besides leaving the place?"

"Will the Yellow Turbans disperse in a hurry? If they can disperse in a hurry, why are there still Yellow Turbans after Zhang Jiao and others are wiped out?" Liu Ye sent out a series of inquiries.

Following these words, Jia Nian gradually fell into deep thought, and after a long while came to a conclusion: "Even if Ge Po is breached, the Ge Po Yellow Turban will not perish, but will become more unscrupulous."

"This?" Jia Nian understood instantly.

Liu Ye explained with a smile: "At that time, the cavalry camp will inevitably run around, and it will be a headache to wipe out the scattered Gepo yellow scarves. At the same time, the neighboring states and counties will also suffer from the disaster of swords. The people of the state and county are obviously more important.”

"Don't the governor of Yuzhou know this truth?" Jia Nian asked.

Liu Ye smiled bitterly: "Why don't you know?"

"Everyone in Yuzhou understands it, but it is said that if they are not in their position, they will not seek their own government, so they naturally want to put Yuzhou's affairs first in their hearts," Liu Ye said.

Then he sighed: "Because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Yuzhou was already dilapidated. Now, in order to wipe out the Gepo Yellow Turbans, they still need to support the riding camp, which makes their situation worse."

"As the Gepo Yellow Turbans withdrew from all over the place, the number of troops in Gepo increased sharply, and they fell into fear," Liu Ye said.

After a slight pause, he continued to speak: "The inaction of the cavalry camp naturally became a place for them to vent their anger."

"If my predictions are correct, the documents to impeach Bao Hong should already be on their way to Luoyang," Liu Ye said slightly worried.

Standing behind Jia Nian, Gan Ning and Deng Dang looked at each other, they didn't expect the situation in Runan to be so dangerous.

"Can the cavalry camp really wipe out Ge Po?" Jia Nian couldn't help asking.

Liu Ye shook his head: "I don't know, at least in terms of military strength, Gepo is three times as large as the cavalry battalion. However, this is what the governor of Yuzhou is most worried about."

"Three times?" Jia Nian thought.

Subconsciously sucked in a breath of cold air, and then blurted out: "Thirty thousand? There are thirty thousand soldiers and horses in the Yellow Turban?"

"With [-] soldiers and hundreds of thousands of people, otherwise, it wouldn't be a serious problem for the imperial court," Liu Ye said.

Jia Nian asked: "Why did the cavalry battalion do this? Could it be that the cavalry captain doesn't understand what these troops mean?"

"It's just that I have absolute confidence in my own strength, and the dignified soldiers and horses of the West Garden are naturally elite with one as ten." Liu Ye's tone was full of worry.

Then the topic changed: "However, after the death of Zhang Jiao's disciples, the Ge Po Yellow Turban not only did not dissipate, but its power became stronger and stronger."

"Several years of fighting may not be what it used to be." Liu Ye sighed: "It's a pity that the Tunqiying and Yuzhou governors are still attacking each other and can't unite. The prospect of the battle of Gepo is worrying."

"When you come here at this time, you must be careful, and don't hurt the foundation of Changhe Town because of the competition between the two," Liu Ye urged.

Jia Nian nodded heavily: "Understood."
