Baling is located in the place where Yunmengze flows into the Yangtze River. From here to the south, you can go directly to Changsha, go west to the river and up to Jiangling, and from east to straight down to Jiangxia. Its geographical location is very important. Wenpeng garrisons here, and the purpose of this is self-evident.

After carefully planning the boat-covering bait, Wenpin chose a safe step-by-step pressing strategy.

Wenpin is not unfamiliar with Gao Chong.

On the night when the fire was soaring into the sky four years ago at the entrance of Jizhou, that fierce battle is still clearly in Wen Pin's heart. Gao Chong, the young man who was alone and still unwilling to give up, the arrogant and unyielding expression of tens of thousands of enemies, made Wen Pin unable to forget for a long time.

Wen Pin, who is so tenacious, has only seen one on the battlefield, but who else is there except Gao Chong?

Over the years, Jingzhou has been stable and peaceful. The so-called famous scholars who recite poems and essays are glorious. The lonely man is a bloody man with only one martial arts. Only when he meets Gao Chong, Wen Pin will be excited about his ambition and pride in his victory. Over the years, Wen Pin has seen every move in Jiangdong. Only such an opponent is a respectable opponent.

"General, what should we do next?" Pioneer Commander Fu Tong looked at Wen Pin with a respectful look and asked.

"Don't march first, wait until the army of Lord Master Zhou arrived at Jingling before making a decision!" Wen Pin thought for a moment and said.

Although Wenpin has 10,000 elite navy under his command, Gao Chong is obviously not a vegetarian. Before he can figure out the truth of Gao Chong, Wenpin did not want to take risks.

As for Huang Zu's life and death, Wen Pin did not consider it at all. Wen Pin could not raise any interest in an incompetent person like Huang Zu who had 20,000 elite soldiers but could not defend himself.

Just as Liu Biao and Gao Chong were dispatching troops to compete for control of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, another force was quietly watching the upcoming chaos in the towering mountains north of Jiangxia County.

The world is divided into nine provinces, Yu is among the nine provinces, and Ru is among the Yuzhou. As the name suggests, Runan is the south of the middle. And this area between Jiangxia and Runan is a large primitive forest.

The source of the Huai River flows out from the Tongbai Mountains. When you walk below Guangzhou, you will see people. But in this deep mountain without anyone else, there is a force that cannot be ignored.

"The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand! In Jiazi, the world will be very happy." This slogan that once resounded throughout the Central Plains was sung deep in this isolated mountain.

This is a group of men and women who have grass and ragged clothes. They all have a look of dish, and their eyes are hungry from time to time. The only thing that can distinguish them from beggars is that they are covered with a yellow turban on their heads.

The Yellow Turban Yu Kou!

Yes, these people survived the Yellow Turban Party after the vigorous uprising. Their number was 5,000 to 6,000, of which nearly half were women and children.

After the failure of two large-scale uprising teams of Bocai and Peng Tuo, the defeated Yellow Turbans sneaked into the mountains, avoiding the pursuit of the government, while also accumulating strength and waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback.

This winter of the fourth year of Jian'an may be an opportunity.

Cao Cao fought against Liu Bei in the east, and Yuan Shao's troops were invading the territory. Cao Ren, who had originally suppressed the Yellow Turbans in Runan, was sent to Yangdi to guard Cao's army Zuoji. Only civil servant Pu Chong and hundreds of miscellaneous soldiers were left in Runan. Not only did Runan have no soldiers, but Xu Du was also empty. At this time, if an army was led north, it would be impossible to break Xu Du.

Liu Pi, Gong Du, and Huang Shao, these three teams are the three strongest among dozens of Yellow Turban forces. This alliance initiated by them has received responses from the Yellow Turban disciples from all over the country.

Among the Yellow Turban forces that came to the alliance, there was a team of more than 300 people from Mangdang Mountain. Their leader was the brave and warlike Pei Yuanshao. Next to Pei Yuanshao, there was a young figure, who was Ling Tong.

Compared to a year ago, Ling Tong's childishness had disappeared. On his originally handsome face, a clearly visible scar slid from his right eye to his cheek, which made him feel a strong sense of fear.

Ling Tong, who escaped in the Battle of Wuping, was attacked by Xiahou Yuan's pursuers. He hated Gao Chong to the core and lay soldiers on all the roads to the south. The scar on Ling Tong's face was injured by the ambush.

In the end, seeing that it was impossible to return to Jiangdong south, Ling Tong simply turned north and fled into Mangdang Mountain and became a refugee. Later, he met Pei Yuanshao.

At the alliance meeting, almost all the Yellow Turban Remnants who were active in Runan area were gathered.

"Everyone, this time I invite everyone to the alliance, the purpose is to raise the banner of righteousness and work together to plan a plan to attack Xudu. I wonder what good plans do you have for this!" Huang Shao said.

Among all forces, Huang Shao, who was born in the declining gentry, was the only one who could read and write. After falling into the family, Huang Shao joined Zhang Jiao's Taiping Road. After years of training, Huang Shao's calmness and prudence gave him more opportunities to survive than others. As a result, more and more people gathered under him.

Huang Shao turned his attention to Liu Pi. Liu Pi's strength was the strongest among all teams. He had surrendered and served as the commander of Runan and was more familiar with the situation in the city than others.

Liu Pi is a man in his forties. Years of war have made his face look weathered. Whether it is anger or joy, it is difficult for you to find it on his face. The only thing that can prove his inner thoughts is the pair of still hot eyes.

"Brothers, the sky is dead, and Huang Tian is about to stand up. Now is the time for us to pay back the blood debt from the government. As long as we are dedicated to life and death and obey the unity, we can put the flags of the Yellow Turban Army into the city tower of Xudu again!" Liu Pi said loudly.

"The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand!" With Liu Pi's shouting, thousands of Yellow Turban disciples raised their swords, sticks and axes in their hands to shout.

Huangtian - symbolizes equality and tranquility, which allows everyone to have their own land, can harvest food for the family, and have an equal identity.

This is the simple ideal of countless people!

For this ideal, countless people fell under the butcher's knife in the government.

Countless people left their hometowns and fled into the barren mountains.

"What are you waiting for? Everyone picks up their weapons and kills him and snatches him!" A thick voice shouted, he is Gong Du.

Gong is a man with a whispered face. Although he is brave and powerful, his troops are not the most powerful, his combat effectiveness is the strongest. A year ago, Cao Cao's general Cai Yang led more than a thousand troops to encircle Gongdu, and he was defeated by him. This battle is the first victory of the Yellow Turban Army after retreating to Runan.

Gong Du's words were so rude that they suddenly touched the hearts of these Yellow Turban Remnants who were struggling on the brink of death. In that thrilling era, those exciting years had long been deeply engraved into the hearts of these people like chrome marks.

Huang Shao frowned and said nothing, a trace of uneasiness flashed through his heart. If it was true as Gong Du said, once the city was occupied, it would be robbed and the big robbery would not be able to get the response of the people. If the result of such a thing was to occupy Xu Du, even Runan would not be able to take it.

People can carry boats or cover boats. Huang Shao knew this allusion.

Amid the noise, the representatives from all walks of life, inspired by the Yellow Turban banner, drank the bloody wine of the alliance on behalf of their own forces. Finally, they elected Liu Pi as the commander of Qu, Huang Shao as the commander of military advisor, and Gong Du as the commander of Qu, and agreed to send troops together to attack Runan on November 9.

Among all the forces present, Pei Yuanshao can be regarded as the first veteran to participate in the Yellow Turbans.

Ten years ago, Pei Yuanshao was sixteen years old and was still a pale-faced and thin boy. His hometown was in Fuyu County, Hebei. It happened to be the year of the Yellow Turban Uprising that it was rare to encounter in hundreds of years. The seeds sown in the rented fields were dried and exposed to the ground. In the age of no harvest, his parents were starved to death in order to save a bite of food for themselves.

Pei Yuanshao ended up dead by the roadside. If he hadn't happened to meet a great wise man, this life would have ended ten years ago.

It is precisely for this reason that Pei Yuanshaocai always adheres to the identity of the Yellow Turban and never gives up no matter how difficult it is.

Now, the vigorous uprising that swept across the Central Plains has failed. The great wise and good mentors of the Heavenly King have gone, and the Earthly Kings and the Human Generals have also been killed one after another. Excellent generals such as Zhang Mancheng, Bocai and Peng Tuo have also been killed in battle. In the bloody storm, Pei Yuanshao seemed to see countless brothers wrapped in yellow cloth falling down with their injured chests.

"Where are brothers Pei Yuanshao?" Liu Pi's question brought Pei Yuanshao back to reality from Myanmar.

"exist!"

"On November 9th, your department will be responsible for guarding Gong Qushuai, do you have any opinions?" Liu Pi said.

Pei Yuanshao responded in a deep voice: "No."

"Okay, General Pei is very skilled in martial arts and is well versed in righteousness. He is worthy of being my heroic general of the Yellow Turban. After conquering Runan, we will drink and have fun together!" Liu Pi laughed.

Pei Yuanshao's subordinates were stationed in Gepo. After being surrounded and suppressed by officers and soldiers, Pei Yuanshao's subordinates were only more than 300. Otherwise, with his qualifications, he would never be under Liu Pi and Gongdu.

After Ciming Liu Pi, Gong Du, Huang Shao, Pei Yuanshao and Ling Tong hurried back to Gepo.

"Public record, with your ideas, how sure is it to send troops to Runan this time?" Pei Yuanshao asked while pulling out the fire.

Gong Ji is the character Ling Tong. Although Pei Yuanshao is not used to using the word "大" to refer to other people, he is called "大" by Ling Tong. If it weren't for Ling Tong, the hundreds of people in Pei Yuanshao's hands might have disbanded long ago.

Mangdang Mountain is not large in size, and the land on the mountain cannot produce food. Pei Yuanshao, who has no food or clothing, can only rely on robbery to make a living. Later, after Ling Tong joined, he came up with an idea for Pei Yuanshao - Faqiu.

Faqiu, to change the name, it is to dig a grave.

The area around Mangdang Mountain is the place with the most burials of Han tombs. When Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang killed the white snake here, Mangdang Mountain became a blessed land for the Han Dynasty. Many princes and nobles were buried here after their deaths.

The rich funeral objects made people unable to hold back their expectations. The first thing they did was not Pei Yuanshao and Ling Tong, but Cao Cao, who regarded himself as a hero of the Han Dynasty.

In the winter of the second year of Jian'an, Cao Cao, who had a great fight with Lu Bu, adopted Cheng Yu's suggestion to dig out Han tombs in Mangdang Mountain. At the same time, he also massacred a large number of people and scraped off meat from the corpses to make it into a man to serve as military rations. Compared with Cao Cao's actions, Pei Yuanshao and Ling Tong were a tiny and worth mentioning.

Ling Tong smiled, and the scars on his face also became particularly ferocious. He said, "Runan is just an empty city, so it's no problem to take it down, but--!"

"Just what?" Pei Yuanshao asked.

Although Ling Tong was young, Pei Yuanshao admired her very much. When facing a major decision, Pei Yuanshao hoped to hear Ling Tong's opinions.

"Brother Pei thinks the Yellow Turban still has a future?" Ling Tong sighed, and did not answer Pei Yuanshao's question, but slowly spoke up.

Pei Yuanshao looked up and turned his eyes to the dark jungle and mountains around him. After a long time, he said: "In the eyes of the government, even if we take off the yellow turban on our heads, we are still yellow turban thieves. They will not let us go."

Before this, many brothers followed the government's words and surrendered, but their heads were immediately hung at the gate of the city as a tool for officials at all levels to invite rewards.

"But if we continue like this, we will be killed by the officers and soldiers sooner or later. Liu Pi, Gong Du and others are at best just bandits. Even if they occupy Runan in the future, they will be immediately surrounded by heavy troops from the officers and soldiers. How could we be the opponents of the well-trained and well-weaponed official army alone!" Ling Tong continued.

Pei Yuanshao also looked depressed and said, "What do you think you should do?"

"The world is in chaos right now, and a hero is not afraid of being useless!" Ling Tong's eyes were bright and he turned to the distant south.

"Who among the princes can use us like me? Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, or the Liu Bei who claims to be the royal family of the Han Dynasty?" Pei Yuanshao actually laughed at this time, with an extremely lonely laughter.

"Gao Chong, the Mu of Yangzhou!" Ling Tong said firmly.

"Can Gao Chong take in someone with our status?" Pei Yuanshao said.

Ling Tong said proudly: "Pengshuai's origin is like you. She is a slave without status and freedom. Our father and son are also surrendered generals, but under Pengshuai, he never felt a trace of grievance."

Speaking of this, Ling Tong's voice lowered, and he said, "I heard that the Pamphlet is leading the army to attack Jiangxia. If it weren't for Cao's troops blocking it, I would have hoped to rush back to Jiangdong immediately."
