In the seventh year of Emperor Guanghe's reign, that is, in March of the first year of Zhongping, the Yellow Turban Uprising officially broke out, directly shaking the aging Han like a thunder.
After several months of continuous fighting, the Yellow Turban Army was in turmoil. In the six states of Hebei, Yan, Henan, Qing, Xu, and Jing, the Han Dynasty was standing firm and fell into a completely unfavorable situation. As for the remaining two states of You and Yang that were at war, the Han army did not gain any advantage.
However, at the end of the first year of Zhongping, the Yellow Turban Army came from the lower class and had a serious lack of foundation. A food crisis broke out easily, forcing the Yellow Turban great sage Zhang Jiao to make a desperate move and extend his butcher knife to the world's aristocratic families. Although this move temporarily alleviated the crisis faced by the Yellow Turbans, it also allowed the Han Dynasty to obtain a hard-won turning point.
At the beginning of the second year of Zhongping, Emperor Ling granted the title of prefecture pastor to four prefectures. From then on, the 30,000 cavalry soldiers of the prefectures went south and marched directly into Jizhou.
In the following months, Li Xiang, the commander-in-chief of the Bingzhou Army, burned Zhang Niujiao and ambushed Li Zicheng. He fought more than ten battles, causing more than 200,000 losses to the Yellow Turbans, and also brought a new turn to the war situation in Jizhou.
In May of the same year, the Han army in Jizhou, led by Lu Zhi and Li Xiang, and the Yellow Turbans, led by Zhang Jiao, fought under the city of Ye. In this battle, several generals of the Han army attacked the Yellow Turbans' center, but the Yellow Turbans could not stop them, forcing Zhang Jiao to cut off his tail to survive and was forced to evacuate. In the end, the Battle of Jizhou ended with the victory of the Han Dynasty.
In June, the Han army in Jizhou, which was victorious, followed Zhang Jiao and marched into Yanzhou in a mighty manner. As the Han army and the Yellow Turban Army gathered one after another, the strength of both sides in Yanzhou had exceeded for the first time. million. Since then, another war after the Jizhou War is about to come.
"Report to General, the Yellow Turban Army is challenging below the city."
In the lobby, while Li Xiang, Lu Zhi and others were discussing the military situation, they saw an agent hurried in.
"How many people are there?" Lu Zhi asked leisurely from the main seat.
A snake cannot survive without a head. The four Zhonglang generals in charge of the Han Dynasty are all in Chenliu City, so it is natural for them to choose a coach. Otherwise, the order will not be unified by then, and the Han Dynasty will lose three points of victory before fighting.
Not only Li Xiang understands this truth, but also the ministers in the court understand it very well. Therefore, just a few days after the armies of Li Xiang and Lu Zhi arrived in Chenliu, the imperial decree also arrived. In the end, the imperial court chose the most respected Lu Zhi as the coach of this battle, commanding the other three generals.
"General, the enemy has about a thousand horses."
"Qianqi?" At this moment, Lu Zhi, who had always been kind and generous, turned cold and said in a cold voice, "Everyone, would you like to follow me out of the city to see what this yellow turban thief wants to do."
"promise."
At this time, all the generals looked a little unhappy and followed Lu Zhi striding straight towards the city gate.
You must know that at this time, there were 270,000 Han soldiers gathered in Chenliu, but the Yellow Turbans only sent a thousand cavalry to challenge them.
With an army of 270,000, even one person with a mouthful of water can drown the more than a thousand Yellow Turbans. However, the Yellow Turbans knew this, but they only brought more than a thousand riders to challenge. What does this mean? It shows that the Yellow Turbans look down on the Han army at all.
No matter what the Yellow Turbans thought, at least at this moment, the Han generals thought so.
Li Xiang asked himself that he still knew a little bit about Zhang Jiao and Chi You. Li Xiang felt that there must be some deep meaning hidden in them because of their abilities.
Although he couldn't figure out what the Yellow Turban wanted to do, Li Xiang decided to remind Lu Zhi. However, Li Xiang did not speak in the end. Seeing the generals acting like this, Li Xiang also understood that the Yellow Turban's move had really angered the Han generals, and I'm afraid even if he really reminded them, it might not be of any use.
Moreover, if you go out and take a look, you might be able to find some clues. Moreover, Li Xiang didn't believe that with these thousand cavalry, even if he had some secret plan, he could still threaten Chen Liulai, who had more than 200,000 troops stationed there.
…
"Mighty... mighty..."
At the foot of Chenliu City, I saw a young general who was eight feet long, tall and tall, with a tall face. He bent his bow and shot down eighteen military flags from the top of the city. When the more than a thousand knights behind him saw this, their morale was immediately boosted and they shouted repeatedly.
Although the Han army on the top of the city was extremely angry when they saw this, they were helpless. The person opposite could tell at a glance that they were brave and extraordinary, but they were just pawns.
"Second brother, can that man do it?" At this time, among the more than a thousand cavalry behind the young general, Zhang Dingbian asked Chi You with a slight hesitation.
"Hahaha, don't worry, brother. I don't know who this person is, but his martial arts skills are genuine. This time this person will be able to kill several Han generals and severely dampen the morale of the Han army. "
Obviously, Chi You was very confident about the questions asked by Zhang Dingbian and answered Zhang Dingbian's questions directly without thinking too much.
"Besides, what if he loses?" Chi You showed an unfathomable expression.
"Oh?" Zhang Dingbian asked confused.
"Don't worry, brother. This person has an arrogant character. If he is really defeated, how can he be willing to accept it? At that time, at least before defeating the Chen Liuhan army, I am afraid that this person will not leave easily. I, the Yellow Turban, will have a strong support for the time being." Chi You patted the shoulder of Zhang Dingbian beside him and said calmly.
While Chi You was talking with Zhang Dingbian, Lu Zhi and the Han generals also left the city gate. However, when everyone saw the dozen or so miserable flags that fell from the city wall, their faces suddenly turned darker.
This time, the big man went out of the city to fight, so he couldn't lose face on his side. Therefore, like the Yellow Turbans, the Han Dynasty only took Qianqi out of the city.
However, although the soldiers did not bring many, there were indeed many generals. Li Xiang led Xing Tian and Jiang Song to come, Cao Cao led a group of clan generals, behind Yuan Shao, Yan Liang and Wen Chou followed closely, Liu Yu led the three brothers Liu Guan, Zhang and Tai Shi Ci to the battle, while Zhu Jun led Sun Jian and others. A group of people were brought along, and Dong Zhuo was also good. There were nearly ten generals including Xue Ju and his son, Hua Xiong, and others.
"Hahaha, you Han thieves finally have the courage to come out." I saw a young general in front of the Yellow Turban Army looking at him sternly and saying coldly, "I heard that there is a man named Xingtian among you, do you dare to come out and fight with me? war."
"System, check this person's attributes." Li Xiang also became interested when he heard that this person wanted to challenge Xing Tian. I want to know who this person is, who is so confident, or arrogant, that he dares to fight Xingtian as soon as he comes up.
However, Li Xiang was also surprised when the system finished detecting the person's attributes.
"Ding, Xiang Yu..."
