C162 (1/2)

Huangfu Song's camp was still at the entrance of the Peach Blossom Ridge, waiting for news from the Yang Lin Cavalry in the north. When it first started, Huangfu Song was calmly waiting. He felt that the xanthopanax was already spent, and could not create any big waves.

But three days had passed and no news from the cavalry of Youzhou had come, which inevitably made him a little anxious. On the surface, he still calmly supervised the soldiers' training, but from time to time, he would send out her exorcism to look for information.

”Lord General, let's go back to the Guangzong City and wait there. Why would there be a need to stay here? Furthermore, we are running out of food. It would be troublesome to transport them. ”

After eating dinner, Yuan Shao was bored, so when he was chatting with Huangfu Song, he suddenly said this. Actually, he had wanted to leave a long time ago. To live in a place like this, there was no village, no store, and not even a place for entertainment. For a young master like him, facing a withered mountain every day was too much of a pain.

That's right, Lord General, I don't know where Zhang Bao went, but let Yang Lin chase after them. We will guard here, but he won't come out.

Yuan Shu supported Yuan Shao with all his might. The two brothers had the same thoughts, and Yuan Shu was even more bored than Yuan Shao. Seeing that the xanthopanax was about to be annihilated, and that he was actually guarding this meaningless place, he decided to go to the Guangzong instead.

”Where do you think Zhang Bao will leave the Peach Blossom Ridge?”

Huangfu Song did not listen to their complaints, but suddenly asked. At any time, Huangfu Song would still treat the destruction of the xanthopanax as a top priority. If Zhang Bao did not eliminate the xanthopanax, his mission would not be completed.

”Zhang Bao is definitely heading towards the north. Once he reaches the Youzhou, he will be able to go all out. If the imperial officials could catch up to Youzhou, he might even be able to run to the desert. At that time, we really wouldn't be able to do anything about him. ”

Yuan Shao looked at Huangfu Song and expressed his thoughts. At the beginning, Huangfu Song thought so too. Once they reached the Youzhou, the leeway for the xanthopanax s to turn around would be even greater, he could even run all the way to the Gaoguanli s, Triple Korea s, etc.

”I think it's impossible for Zhang Bao to go to Youzhou. Zhang Bao's more than two hundred thousand xanthopanax s were mostly just foot soldiers. Even after arriving in Youzhou, with Yang Lin's cavalry, it would be very difficult for him to stay in the Youzhou. Even if he wanted to escape to the Gaoguanli, Triple Korea and other places, he would have to go through a long journey. He would definitely not be able to escape being pursued by the cavalry, thus, Zhang Bao would definitely not go to the Youzhou. ”

Huangfu Song denied his own thoughts, he stood up and paced back and forth inside the tent, frowning. He felt that he had misjudged, and should not have ordered Yang Lin to chase after the xanthopanax to the north.

”I think Zhang Bao will definitely head west and become a bandit in the Five Elements Mountain. ”In such a big Five Elements Mountain, the tens of thousands of government troops simply cannot enter the mountains and annihilate them.”

Yuan Shu thought, and said to Huangfu Song. Many of the remnants of the xanthopanax who had already been exterminated had ran up the mountain to act as bandits. The imperial government did not take those bandits seriously at all.

”This idea makes sense. If Zhang Bao wanted to protect himself, he would definitely go to the Five Elements Mountain, which is densely populated. Let alone the tens of thousands of government officials, even if he were to add tens of thousands more, it would still be a waste of time. But when Zhang Bao's xanthopanax enters the mountains, he is like a fish back in water, and a bird back in the forest. ”

Huangfu Song stopped and nodded at Yuan Shu, confirming his thoughts. However, his brows furrowed even more. Even if he knew that Zhang Bao was going west, he still wouldn't believe him even if he chased him. In three days time, Zhang Bao might have already entered the mountain.

”Not necessarily!”

Yuan Shao was not convinced. Huangfu Song had rejected his idea, but he agreed with Yuan Shu's argument, which made it hard for him to accept, as the two brothers had always been competing for power in secret. How could Yuan Shao concede defeat in front of Huangfu Song?

”If one were to say one is going to enter the mountain and become a bandit, occupying the mountain and king, it is indeed possible for ordinary General of the Yellow Scarf Army. But Zhang Bao would never, a person who wants to contend for the world, would become a bandit? ”

Indeed, Yuan Shao's words were very reasonable, Zhang Bao was not an ordinary General of the Yellow Scarf Army, but a great Human Generals, their slogan was that the heavens have already died, the Yellow Sky will be established, and prepared to replace the Han Dynasty. Would such a ambitious person be willing to become a bandit?

”Aiya, no good, Zhang Bao is definitely going to kill his way to the south, our main camp is right on his way.”

Huangfu Song suddenly shouted loudly, scaring Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu out of their wits as they looked at Huangfu Song in bewilderment. Huangfu Song patted his head, and walked a few steps inside the tent, then suddenly turned and spoke to them.

”Hurry up and send the exorcism out, pay close attention to the direction of the Peach Blossom Ridge.”

”Understood.”

It was another quiet night. Even though Huangfu Song was anxious in his heart, he could do nothing about it, and after he finished arranging the Outpost, he became more and more uneasy in his heart. He predicted that Zhang Bao would definitely slaughter his way out of the Peach Blossom Ridge, and even after half a night, there was still no news, so he had no choice but to fall asleep.

Zhang Bao's group was not far from the camp, and when the xanthopanax found out about the exorcism s of the imperial government, he was shocked. For a moment, he felt despair. He did not expect that the imperial army would be waiting for him at the most unexpected location. He even prepared to return to the west, to become a bandit in the mountains.

However, the second batch of exorcism s he sent out soon told him that the ones guarding the entrance of the Peach Blossom Ridge were only the government officials and not the cavalry of Youzhou s. However, he did not dare act rashly. Back then, when there were more than 300,000 people, Zhang Jiao did not dare attack Imperial army. Now, with only more than 200,000 people, he did not dare attack the imperial government.
