With repeated tests and calculations, Zhang Jiao had become very clear about the temperament of the group of arrogant soldiers outside. He could see that those people were all at odds with each other.
It's just that when Lu Zhi was around, they didn't dare to resist at all.
Even if they didn't like each other, they could only endure the unhappiness in their hearts and join together.
Not for anything else, just because they are afraid of the army commander Lu Zhi!
In fact, Zhang Jiao had heard of this name and knew why they were afraid of this elegant-looking commander.
Because Lu Zhi’s character is really straight!
According to the news that Zhang Jiao heard back then, this was a guy who often refused to even give the emperor face. When he was cruel, he would not even risk his own life.
When such a person is not in power, everyone will naturally stay away from him.
But if he gains power now, let alone the generals under the command of the Han Dynasty General He Jin, he would not dare to kill even the general He Jin.
If he was given a chance, he might even kill them all and then go to plead guilty himself, so he was able to control these arrogant and powerful generals.
But this man named Dong Zhuo definitely does not have this prestige, because he has no reputation!
Zhang Jiao, who has traveled most of the country, has a clear view of these things. Reputation usually seems to have no effect.
But at the critical moment, he can save his life!
He can also stand up and shock others.
As for Dong Zhuo... Zhang Jiao thought that he was well-informed, but even so, he had never heard of this man's reputation.
Therefore, he did not think that Dong Zhuo could intimidate the army.
What's more, if Dong Zhuo can really hold the army in his hands like Lu Zhi, he will never leave the Wuhuan Jingqi in Youzhou and then march to Quyang with the remaining army.
After all, the Wuhuan Jingqi and the clan members were the most troublesome troops for the Yellow Turban Army. Dong Zhuo's separation of them also showed that he did not have enough confidence to stabilize the opponent.
In order to contain himself and stabilize the army, Dong Zhuo made such a decision.
But Zhang Jiao sneered at his behavior, because what could he do if he restrained himself?
But he couldn't contain those fellow Yellow Turban Taoists from all directions who were no different from the people of Jizhou and the poor people in the world!
Moreover... he also has the most elite Yellow Turbans. Zhang Jiao believes that these Yellow Turbans will definitely teach this guy named Dong Zhuo a lesson.
After thinking of this, Zhang Jiao immediately gave his order to the side, a very serious order.
"Tell other big and small Qushuai in the city that from today on, no one in Guangzong City can move rashly without Pindao's order, let alone leave the city!"
"This is everyone, except Pindao... everyone!"
With Zhang Jiao's order, the men around them with their heads wrapped in yellow scarves immediately bowed and saluted, and their expressions became extremely serious and serious.
At the same time, his order completely silenced the Yellow Turban bandits in Guangzong City, and everyone seemed to be quiet.
This is Guangzong, the center of their Taiping Road, and their foundation!
The Yellow Turban Army all over the world is short of food and grass, and they are worried that they will run out of food and become someone else's ration.
But they are not afraid, just because there is enough food and grass for them to eat and drink here.
Lu Zhi actually guessed wrong. He saw that the Yellow Turban Army's fatal weakness was its lack of logistics, that it had no capable ministers to help it resume production, and that the Yellow Turban Army was completely unable to fight a protracted war.
But... what Lu Zhi miscalculated was that here, in the land of Guangzong, it was one of the few places where their Taiping Dao Yellow Turban Army was not afraid of running out of food and grass.
Zhang Jiao was afraid of wasting, but the Han army was even more afraid of wasting. What Zhang Jiao was consuming was food and future, and what the Han army was consuming was... their few national fortunes and heritage!
This was something Dong Zhuo understood clearly, and Zhang Jiao, who had traveled half of the world, also understood it.
Therefore, Na Zhangjiao understood very well that as long as they did not collapse here, as long as they were still holding on to these cities and passes in Jizhou.
As long as they can persist, they will still have food and grass, and they will still have their flags up.
Then there is absolutely no way that the mediocre emperor in Luoyang City could just sit back and watch the battlefield here remain in a stalemate.
Today's Lu Zhi is tomorrow's Dong Zhuo.
It's a pity that Dong Zhuo, who was confronting Zhang Bao in Quyang and was ready to attack at any time, didn't know Zhang Jiao's thoughts.
What's more, he didn't know that Zhang Jiao, who was not in his eyes, had already seen through the thoughts of the big shots in Luoyang.
Of course, what would happen even if Dong Zhuo knew about it?
At this time, he had no choice. This horn was clearly going to confront him. He could only try his best to break through the solid city wall and kill the Yellow Turban bandits.
What else could he do?
At this time, Dong Zhuo rushed directly to Xiaquyang with tens of thousands of the main force of the Han army. The Yellow Turban doctor and Digong General Zhang Bao, who had been stationed here, had already received the news of Dong Zhuo's arrival and also received Zhang Jiao's order.
"My dear brother has led an army of one hundred thousand and is stationed in Quyang. We have enough troops and food, so there is no need to worry.
Although it is taboo for the Han army to change generals before the battle, as long as you hold on, the Han army will definitely have nothing to do against Qu Yang.
Remember, even if there are heavy casualties, even if there is only one Yellow Turban Daoist left in Quyang City, the wise brother is never allowed to leave the city. "
I don’t know how Zhang Jiao’s news spread, but it spread to the city of Quyang silently, even faster than Dong Zhuo’s army.
When Zhang Bao saw the letter, he immediately gave up his original urge to fight Dong Zhuo to the death.
Among the three Zhang Jiao brothers, in fact, the youngest brother, General Zhang Liang, has the most vivid mind, and he also looks the smartest among the three.
He always comes up with some ideas at critical moments, which makes Zhang Jiao quite happy.
As the second brother, Zhang Bao is taciturn, but he is the most fierce and brave one.
When the three brothers traveled around the world before, they encountered some troubles, but they were all overcome by Zhang Bao.
Moreover... coupled with Zhang Jiao's some ghostly tricks and medical skills, he gathered a lot of people around him.
But no matter what the personalities of these two brothers are, whether they are talkative or reticent, clever or fierce, they are all honest in front of Zhang Jue.
Years of relying on each other have made them understand who they can rely on, so these two people listen to their elder brother the most.
Perhaps they are like this because they clearly remember in their hearts who raised the two of them.
Zhang Bao, who was already prepared for a decisive battle, now carried up all the equipment to defend the city. At the same time, he demolished half of the residential buildings in Xia Quyang, just to ensure that there was enough equipment to defend the city.
Countless houses and courtyards turned into rolling stones and trees. The Yellow Turban Army was born out of the common people, and the three brothers had a high reputation among the common people.
Although there are only 100,000 people wearing yellow scarves, if a fight breaks out, half of Quyang City will probably be used by Zhang Bao.
This is destined to be a great fight.
As soon as Dong Zhuo's army arrived at Xia Quyang, after a very short period of repair, Dong Zhuo immediately ordered the siege of Xia Quyang to begin!
It can be seen that Dong Zhuo is really anxious. He is anxious to pacify Jizhou, and also anxious... to let the court see him!
It's just that Dong Zhuo was in a hurry, but he forgot what haste makes waste.
Dong Zhuo had forgotten what happened yesterday, but he had also forgotten that the current Han generals and colonels had really weird thoughts.
Of course they dare not disobey the generals in this army, but... who wants to be a stepping stone for others?
No one wants to be a stepping stone for others at such a critical moment, especially when Dong Zhuo is still looked down upon by them.
Therefore, every general in the Han army, regardless of his identity, was involved in the siege of Quyang.
They are doing their best to protect themselves.
This led to the fact that the battlefield in Quyang was very fierce, but there was not much damage, and it also led to the fact that Dong Zhuo did not have no chance to break through Quyang.
But every opportunity was lost at the critical moment...!
