There is no need to protect and protect the heroes of Ding. There are no heroes in the world. ------"Hao Ge" by Tang Li He
It was said that Zhang Jiao could not defend Daming County, so the entire army retreated to Guangzong. Lu Zhi's troops pursued them all the way, but suddenly retreated before reaching Guangzong. Zhang Jiao finally gained a foothold in Guangzong. Just as he was wondering why Lu Zhi retreated, Zhang Bao's messenger arrived and found out the reason for Lu Zhi's retreat.
It turned out that the imperial court was worried about Lu Zhi leading a heavy army on his own, and sent Huangmen Zuofeng to inspect the military situation. Zuo Feng was corrupt, and Lu Zhi was a gentleman, so he responded: "There is still a shortage of military rations, and An has more money to flatter the angels?" Zuo Feng was very angry. After returning to the court, he accused Lu Zhi of deliberately standing still and neglecting the morale of the army. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was furious and ordered Lu Zhi to be captured and returned to Beijing to question him, so he withdrew his troops.
Zhang Jiao couldn't help but be overjoyed and held a small banquet. Chen Long accompanied him. Seeing that the messenger was slick and smooth, he asked: "How is the progress with General Di Gong?"
The messenger wiped his mouth and said: "General Di Gong is looking for food and grass everywhere, but the people's homes have no surplus food. Now we are planning to capture Handan, seize the food and grass in the city, and defend the city, so that we can form a rivalry with General Tiangong."
Zhang Ning was shocked when he heard this and said: "Handan has always been a fortified city, not comparable to Pingyuan County. Second uncle, be careful. It's good to capture it. If you can't capture it, come to Guangzong to gather together."
Zhang Jiao asked: "Wenlong, what do you think about the future battle situation?"
Chen Long is a person who has traveled through time. Of course he knows that after Lu Zhi was arrested, Dong Zhuo came who was even more ruthless. After pondering for a while, seeing Zhou Buyi eager to give it a try, he smiled and said: "Yuan Zhi is my think tank, God just asks him."
Zhang Jue was known as General Tiangong. Chen Long could not call him father-in-law, so he called him Tiangong. Zhou Busuo said: "Guang Zong and Dai Ming are like half a catty and eight taels. They are both in danger of defending. This retreat is because Lu Zhi was imprisoned. If the imperial court sends another general, Dai Ming will be like this today. Guangzong’s tomorrow.”
Seeing that Zhang Jiao remained calm, Zhou Buji continued: "Guangzong is closer to Handan and Julu. There are local generals in Handan to restrain them, so I won't care about it for the time being. However, Guo Dian, the prefect of Julu, has ten thousand troops. If he cooperates with the imperial army and horses, If we attack from behind, we will be attacked from both sides. I intend to immediately recall General Renggong, abandon Guangzong after the rendezvous, move westward, join General Diggong’s army attacking Handan, and use all my strength to break through the gap between Handan and Yecheng. , entered Bingzhou, made a surprise attack on the party to ask for food, and after winning, moved to the Taihang Mountains, and then made plans."
Chen Long said: "Yuan Zhi's words are exactly what I want. God, take advantage of this moment when Lu Zhi is convicted and new generals have not arrived. We can quickly implement this plan to catch them unawares and attack them unprepared. After robbing the grain and grass, they can enter the mountainous area and be safe."
Zhang Jiao frowned and started coughing again, his face turning red. Zhang Ning hurriedly rubbed his back. After calming down for a while, Zhang Jiao said: "The third brother just made some achievements in Pingyuan County, and the second brother is attacking Handan again. If he escapes at this time, it will chill the hearts of all the generals. If the second brother and the third brother The younger brothers succeeded, forming an iron triangle that could withstand the imperial court's strong attack." Chen Long knew that Zhang Jiao was stubborn and did not want to bear the reputation of running away, so he did not dare to persuade him again.
After dinner, Zhang Jiao went back to his room to rest. Zhang Ning stopped the messenger and said, "Go back to your second uncle quickly and ask him to be careful of Han Fu's army in Yecheng behind him when he attacks Handan." The messenger left in a hurry.
A month later, news came that the imperial court had sent Dong Zhuo to replace Lu Zhi and was about to launch a large-scale military campaign. Zhang Jiao ordered his people to set up a stronghold on the plain outside the south city. They dug trenches in front of the stronghold, set up traps, set up deer antlers, and piled rocks to prevent Dong Zhuo's army from directly attacking the city. At the same time, both Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao were unable to break through the city. Zhang Liang captured several small surrounding counties to raise food and grass, and Zhang Bao fought all the way to Xiaquyang near Zhending. For a time, Hebei was turned upside down and the battle was stalemate.
Chen Long had already checked Dong Zhuo's information in his brain and told Zhang Ning about Dong Zhuo's current situation. Of course, he didn't say much about the old Dong's dethroning of the Young Emperor of Han. At this time, Dong Zhuo was highly skilled in martial arts and unparalleled in strength. He was good at carrying two pairs of quivers and shooting left and right while riding a horse. All the military merit rewards he received were given to his soldiers. He had a relatively high prestige in Bingzhou and Liangzhou Longxi. After Zhang Ning informed Zhang Jiao, Zhang Jiao ordered to defend Guangzong and not mention it.
Dong Zhuo was worshiped by the imperial court as General Dong Zhonglang and led his army from Puyang. Seeing that Guangzong's defense was very tight, he only sent a small group of troops to feint to attack, like a dragonfly touching water, but there was no siege. The army went directly north, and with the cooperation of surrounding counties and counties, they attacked Zhang Baojun in Xiaqiyang.
Zhang Jiao was guarding Guangzong. He hadn't seen any incoming troops for several days. He knew something was wrong, so he quickly sent his troops to find out where Dong Zhuo's army had gone. Just as Xizuo set off, Zhang Bao's general Bu Si was covered in blood. When he arrived at the city, he was already dying when the soldiers came in.
Zhang Jiao hurriedly called the military doctor to rescue him. After a while, Bu Si woke up and said urgently: "General Di Gong is besieged by Dong Zhuo's army. Please ask General Tiangong to send troops to rescue him quickly!" Zhang Jiao hurriedly called for Zhang Ning and asked for the map. Bu Si pointed to the position east of Zhending and said, "This is the position where Dong Zhuo has 50,000 soldiers and horses. The siege is very urgent."
Zhang Ning hurried over, naturally followed by Chen Long, who was naturally followed by Zhou Buyi, Lu Chang and others. Zhang Jiao felt a little relieved when he saw Chen Long and others. His daughter and Chen Long were his strongest combination at present, and no one else could deal with Dong Zhuo's army. Chen Long would definitely help his daughter to save her face.
Zhang Ning heard that his father wanted to save his second uncle by himself, so naturally he couldn't refuse. Glancing at Chen Long, Chen Long was studying the map with Zhou Buyi. When he saw Zhang Ning looking over, he smiled and said, "Mei Niang, God's mission is urgent, just take it."
Zhang Ning didn't want to embarrass Chen Long, but when he saw that Chen Long had no embarrassment and knew that he agreed to help Zhang Jiao, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and almost shouted: "Kiss my husband..." Seeing Zhang Ning's joy, Chen Long smiled and said: "The general is You, Yuan Zhi and I will be your advisers, and as for Lu Chang and the others, they will be our guard captains, how about that?"
Zhang Jiao gave Zhang Ning 10,000 troops this time, asking her to order her troops today and go to war tomorrow. He made it clear that he could not stop fighting, just break through the gap and rescue Zhang Bao. After Zhang Jiao finished the assignment, he coughed and went back to his room to rest. He was obviously very tired and his condition seemed to have worsened. Zhang Ning was worried, so she asked the general to help her order all the soldiers and horses, and then went to serve in her father's room.
After Zhang Jiao and Zhang Ning left, Chen Long and others were the only ones left in the hall. Chen Long pointed to Zhang Jiao's military map and said proudly to several people: "Do you know where this place is?"
Zhou Buyi knows maps best. When he saw Chen Long pointing at Quyang County under Changshan County where Zhang Baojun was located, he wondered: "Isn't this the place where General Di Gong was besieged?"
Chen Long laughed and said, "I agreed to help Tiangong rescue Earthgong, firstly because of Mei Niang, and secondly, because not far from here, there is a great hero who is indomitable and has superb martial arts. I just happened to go to visit .”
Zhou Buyi asked curiously: "Since he is a great hero who is upright and has superb martial arts, how come we have never heard of him?" Lu Chang and others nodded frequently, saying that they had never heard of such a great hero.
Chen Long said proudly: "This is a secret and cannot be leaked. You can go back to your room to prepare today and set off with the army tomorrow." Everyone refused and asked Chen Long not to reveal the name of the great hero. Chen Long only said that the man's name also had the word "dragon" in it, and it would be revealed when the time comes, and everyone went away muttering.
Chen Long returned to the bedroom and realized that he had become Zhang Ning's family member who accompanied the army. He couldn't help but miss the peach blossoms in Lingling. At this time, thousands of miles apart, I don’t know how I miss Taohua. Chen Long also missed Peach Blossom, so he asked Zhang Silubu to write a letter to Hao Pu and said: "I haven't sent a letter to Lingling for a long time. I think the generals in Lingling miss me very much. You don't have to go with us tomorrow. I want you." Immediately find a way to return to Lingling and dictate the location and movements of the few of us, so that everyone can focus on rectifying the internal affairs and military affairs and not be half-hearted. In addition, please help me give this letter to my sister-in-law." Hao Pu knew that what Chen Long said My sister-in-law is Taohua. She quickly took it and put it in her arms. "Don't worry, Lord, I only have this letter from home. It should be able to break through the siege and return to Lingling smoothly. Do you need me to return?"
Chen Long shook his head slightly and said: "The battle situation here is changeable. There is no need to come back. You can report back to the special forces by yourself. If the delay is too long, I will continue to send people back to report safety. By the way, if you can pass by Yingchuan Chen Come home, give my regards to Mr. Chen Shi, and check to see if Chen Qun and Guo Jia have set off." After saying that, he waved Hao Pu to go.
Chen Long was thirsty for talents and asked Hao Pu to go to Chen's house, which also meant to urge Chen Qun. Chen Shi has matured with age, and as soon as Hao Pu goes to greet him, he will naturally understand what he means. Thinking of the world-famous heroes Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, I didn't expect that in order to save Zhang Ning, I went all the way to Jizhou, and because of saving Zhang Bao, I actually arrived at Zhao Yun's hometown, Changshan Zhending. Since God's will cannot be disobeyed, how could he miss such a powerful general and take advantage of the mat weaver and shoe seller later?
Early the next morning, ten thousand Yellow Turbans were ready to go. Hao Pu said goodbye and returned to Lingling. Chen Long followed Zhang Ning. He felt it was a bit strange that he was the only one not wearing a yellow scarf, so he simply wore a yellow scarf as a cover and followed Zhang Ning's carriage closely.
Before Zhang Ning set out, he promulgated strict marching disciplines and set up a disciplinary inspection team, requiring no violations in the villages he passed. The army walked around the city without disturbing any imperial troops or local armed forces, and headed all the way to Quyang County under Changshan County.
After bypassing Julu and arriving near Xinhe County, the disciplinary inspection team tied up one person and came to Zhang Ning's carriage. The captain reported: "Holy girl, this person robbed the people's food. When they encountered resistance, he actually killed one person. We found him. We hope that the holy lady will judge him."
Zhang Ning didn't expect that despite his repeated orders not to disturb the people, some people still dared to disobey military orders. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said: "What I want are well-disciplined soldiers, not bandits who burn, kill and loot. Today's evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say?"
The man's hands were tied, and he raised his neck and howled: "Saint, please spare your life! Since we followed General Tiangong's uprising, we have fought to the death and followed him to the death. I have also saved the lives of many brothers! I accidentally got pregnant in my belly I was unbearably hungry and wanted to eat, but I accidentally killed a civilian. I hope the saint can forgive me!"
When all the generals heard this, they all interceded on his behalf. They all said that this man was brave in battle, and they wanted him to be allowed to pay for his crimes and perform meritorious service. Chen Long heard the commotion and saw Zhang Ning shaking with anger, but had no reason to explain, so he had to stand aside and watch. Zhang Ning's face turned red and said: "My Yellow Turban soldiers are all poor people. The people you killed today are your own relatives."
After that, he pulled out the sword he carried with him, cut the man's rope and said: "I only give my military orders, and the soldiers will obey them. Since you and others have interceded on behalf of this man, killing people has been punished with life since ancient times, and I am the only one responsible for killing people." The guilt." After saying that, he was about to commit suicide with his sword, but Chen Long next to him quickly stopped him.
When the generals saw that their general was about to commit suicide because his soldiers violated military regulations, they all knelt down and swore to restrain their soldiers. Zhang Ning cut off a piece of his black hair with a sword and said: "I have a heavy responsibility now, and I will take the lead for the time being. Where is the disciplinary inspection team!"
Dozens of soldiers from the Disciplinary Inspection Team replied loudly: "Yes!"
"Bring twice the amount of food, tie this man to the farmer's family, and apologize. I will use your help to let the people know that our Yellow Turbans are a well-disciplined team, and they are also the people's own team. Are you convinced?"
When the yellow-turbaned soldier saw the saint shaving off his hair and taking the throne, he cried and bowed to the ground, and was taken away by the disciplinary inspection team. Chen Long nodded slightly beside him. Zhang Ning knew the importance of discipline, and the people of Hebei were blessed.
Zhang Ning got into the carriage, nodded for Chen Long to get up, and the team continued to set off. In the carriage, Zhang Ning silently leaned into Chen Long's arms and said, "Long Lang, in fact, many of the things that harmed the people were done by the officers and soldiers, and the Yellow Turbans were all blamed."
Chen Long nodded and said: "This is the harm of war. In the end, it is the common people who are unlucky. You handled it well and will become an invincible commander in the future."
Zhang Ning rolled his eyes at him and said: "Although Long Lang and I have different identities, our ideal of saving the world has the same goal."
Chen Long heard this and suddenly said: "Don't forget, I said that if the Yellow Turbans win Jiangbei and I win Jiangnan, I will give Jiangnan to you as a betrothal gift. Isn't this our ideal?"
Zhang Ning was originally in a bad mood, but after hearing what Chen Long said, he couldn't help but smile, revealing two rows of shell teeth, and Chen Long couldn't help but kiss him gently. Outside the carriage, there was the sound of the neat and majestic footsteps of the military. It became more and more obvious that the small space in the carriage was filled with a warm and charming atmosphere, all the way towards Changshan County.
