"I didn't expect that boy to be so good at fighting. It's a pity that he was entangled by those moth thieves. Otherwise, he would definitely have to fight with him."

After Zhang Fei came back, he was also very surprised when he heard that Zhou Cheng was the young moth thief from the west gate of Wancheng. After all, it has not been a long time since Wancheng. I didn't expect Zhou Cheng's martial arts to improve so much. Quickly.

Of course, hearing these words made Liu Bei even more upset and irritated.

"I thought I had a sure chance of winning this time against the thieves, but I didn't expect that I would lose the army and lose the general.……"

Liu Bei sighed. Ever since he raised his troops in Zhuojun, he, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were invincible. He had never been in such a sorry state.

Moreover, the elite Northern Army cavalry, totaling 2,000 men, was actually unable to eliminate the approximately 4,000 moth thieves.

Although Liu Bei retreated in time and still had more than 1,400 cavalry, how should he face Huangfu Song with such heavy casualties?

Guan Yu said:"Brother, victory or defeat is a matter of military affairs. Don't worry about it. We underestimated the moth thieves this time. However, there are many moth thieves. It is not easy to cross the river quickly. We will send someone to inform Zuo Chaqi before we come. It's not too late to defeat the enemy."

Liu Bei sighed again and said,"That's all we can do."

……

Huangfu Song was also speeding up his advance. He had already learned about Liu Bei's defeat.

Liu Bei lost more than 500 horses and was unable to seize the ferry, so he burned the moth thieves' ferry.

This made Huangfusong a little angry.

First Sun Jian, then Liu Bei, lost his elite Northern Army cavalry in vain.

The Han Dynasty lacked horses, so the cavalry was as precious as a treasure. Especially the training of the Northern Army cavalry, the money and food consumed is enough to train more than ten sword and shield soldiers.

Before Cao Cao came, he had heard of Zhou Cheng's name. He didn't expect that Zhou Cheng was so young but very powerful in fighting.

Moreover, according to Liu Bei's self-report in the letter, the moth thieves under Zhou Cheng were not afraid of death and fought for their lives, which was completely different from the moth thieves in the seven states and twenty-eight counties. Moreover, Zhou Cheng, the leader of the thieves, was a rare and powerful general among the moth thieves. Even Liu Bei's second brother Guan Yu could not capture him.

Cao Cao had never seen Guan Yu's martial arts, but Guan Yu was nine feet tall, with a heavy back and a strong waist. He was very burly and must be brave.

It is enough to imagine that Zhou Cheng's military force is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary generals.

Of course, Huangfu Song didn't think much of it. Regardless of whether Zhou Cheng was the most powerful general among moth thieves, or he was the reincarnation of Xiang Yu as rumored.

In short, Huangfu Song wanted to eliminate the moth thieves as soon as possible because he had just received news from the court in the morning.

Liangzhou Bianzhang, Han Sui, Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou and others rebelled!

Moreover, the rebels have tens of thousands of soldiers. If they are not dealt with early, the rebellion will further expand to the entire Liangzhou and even threaten the three auxiliary areas.

It’s not that Huangpu Song is unreasonable, because the Qiang people have always been unstable.

The Qiang people were aggressive, which had been a worry for the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years from the Western Han Dynasty to the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was not until Duan Jong defeated the Western Qiang and destroyed the Eastern Qiang that Liangzhou was temporarily peaceful.

Huangfu Song wanted to eliminate the moth thieves as soon as possible, and then rushed to Liangzhou to put down the rebellion.

He is the emperor at the top and the people at the bottom. At the same time, quelling the rebellion in Liangzhou has always been the pursuit and honor of military commanders.

……

Hundreds of thousands of troops have arrived at the river bank.

As long as they cross the Yellow River, they can temporarily escape Huangpu Song's pursuit.

But Zhou Cheng knew in his heart that it was not that easy for hundreds of thousands of people to cross the river at the same time.

When Huangfu Song and his army arrive, the river and river beaches will be filled with corpses.

However, Zhou Cheng understood that this was something he could not change. What he could do now was bring as many people as possible northward.

As for those who cannot be taken away, let them fend for themselves, and at the same time, buy some time for the troops heading north.

The troops crossing the river were very crowded, and the young and the strong were given priority to cross the river, while the old, weak, women and children could only wait helplessly.

However, Zhou Cheng was generous and built stoves around the river beach to cook. Although it was still sparse, they could have a hot meal. These old and weak women and children were already grateful to Zhou Cheng for his kindness.

After all, food and grass are running out, and winter is about to begin.

After arriving in Jizhou, no one knows whether they can successfully find food supplies.

There was soup boiling in the pot, which was made from horse bones. Some rice and noodles were poured in, mixed together, and cooked together.

A group of people stared eagerly, holding bowls in their hands, waiting to get a spoonful.

In the crowd, there was a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, swallowing hard.

The boy's clothes were ragged, his face was smeared with grass ash, his hands were dirty, and his body was stained with cow and horse dung. However, after queuing up to share the soup, he returned to his mother as soon as possible.

This young man is very strange. He seems to be introverted. He never talks to others and never washes his face. The same goes for his mother. Her face is covered with grass ash and her whole body smells like feces, which makes people reluctant to come close.

However, if you look carefully, it is not difficult to find that the young man's fingers are slender, not like a man's hand, but more like a woman's.

At this time, the young man came to his mother and said in a very low voice:"Mom, get up and have some soup." The young man's voice was gentle and soft, like a trickle. If anyone heard it, it would definitely make them feel happy.

The boy's mother also had grass ash on her face and her body was stained with cow and horse dung. At this time, she shook her head and said in a weak voice:"Lian'er, you better eat it, cough cough."……"

As he spoke, the boy's mother coughed violently.

The boy put down the soup, patted his mother on the back, and said hurriedly:"Mom, I heard that Zuo's cavalry army is coming soon. My cousin is in Zuo's cavalry army. When he comes, we will be saved."
