Taking advantage of the opportunity arranged by the generals, Liu Zhang rested on the bed.
Next, we have to go straight to Guangzong, and there will be no time to rest in a short time.
With such a pleasant leisure time, Liu Zhang's brain couldn't help but dream about a better future.
Now there are four of the Five Tiger Generals, so there is no need to worry about the last one.
After all, he is already waiting for me in Yizhou. I believe that with my ability, it will not be difficult to recruit him!
Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao and unified Hebei in 208, now in 184, there are still more than 20 years to go!
In more than twenty years, at worst, he could cross the two states of Yiliang and occupy the land of three auxiliary states.
At that time, we will rely on Hangu Pass and Wuguan Pass to achieve the pre-Qin trend!
Cao Cao ordered his envoys to raise millions of troops, but he could only look back and sigh!
Liu Zhang was not very interested in Jingzhou.
Jingzhou controls Han Mi to the north, takes advantage of the South China Sea, connects Wuhui to the east, and Bashu to the west. This is an advantage, but it is also the biggest disadvantage.
The main stream and tributaries of the Yangtze River run through the entire Jingzhou, and the Xiangshui River can actually lead directly to Lingling County!
Without a strong naval force, occupying Jingzhou would be quite stressful. The most important thing is that Jingzhou's defense is very difficult.
Xiangyang and Fancheng are only separated by the Han River, and Cao Cao can cross the water at any time. Jiangxia County borders Cao Cao to the north and Sun Quan to the east.
As for the four counties of Jiangling and Jingnan, they are directly accessible by the navy and require a large number of soldiers to garrison them.
Lu Meng once attacked Changsha, Guiyang and Lingling counties very easily. Liu Bei was forced to lead rescue troops from Chengdu.
Liu Zhang's strategic thinking was to guard the mouth of the Three Gorges. No matter how many troops and horses came from Jingzhou, they could not break through this natural danger.
By guarding Hangu Pass, Wuguan Pass and Pujin Ferry, we can resist the heroes of the Kanto region.
Wait until the world changes, then go eastward and seize Hebei in the Central Plains.
This is also Liu Zhang’s own improved Longzhong pair!
Ten days later, as soon as Liu Zhang arrived in Guangzong, he received two urgent reports.
The two soldiers looked at each other, both wanting to share their news first.
Liu Zhang raised his finger and pointed at someone, indicating that he should speak first.
"Report to the general, according to the news from Jizhou Governor's Office, Zhonglang General Huangfu Song defeated the Yellow Turbans of Dongjun a few days ago."
"Um."
Liu Zhang nodded, not surprised by the news, and then looked at the other person.
"you say."
"Report to the general, Zhonglang general Dong Zhuo besieged Guangzong but failed. He went to attack Quyang, but was attacked by Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao, and was defeated!"
"What!"
Liu Zhang was stunned for a moment, trying hard to recall history.
Wasn't it true that Dong Zhuo was besieged by Qu Yang and was accused of failing to do so? There was no record of being defeated during this period!
Zhang Jiao was already terminally ill, yet he was still able to lead the troops in battle!
"Where is Dong Zhuo now?"
Liu Zhang's tone was a little anxious, and it seemed that things were developing abnormally.
"Fifty miles ahead, we are being pursued by Zhang Jiaobu! The situation is very critical!"
"Obey the order!"
Liu Zhang did not hesitate and immediately decided to rescue Dong Zhuo.
"March at full speed to rescue Dong Zhonglang!"
"promise!"
Under the leadership of the scouts, Liu Zhang led the cavalry forward quickly.
Zhang Jiao's move really surprised Liu Zhang, but he was overjoyed immediately.
If Zhang Jiaogui speeds up inside the city, Liu Zhang will have no choice but to wait for him to die suddenly.
But Zhang Jiao went out to the city to fight in the field. If he could kill Zhang Jiao in formation, the credit would be huge!
Fifty miles away, Zhang Jiao personally led his army to pursue Dong Zhuo as Liu Zhang expected.
Following Zhang Jiao was none other than Zhang Bao, the general of the land.
"Brother, how are you?"
Zhang Bao looked at the pale Zhang Jiao and was very worried.
"Cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough..."
Zhang Jiao covered his mouth and couldn't help coughing violently.
"Brother! Just go back to Guangzong City and I will chase you myself!"
Zhang Bao looked anxious. The three brothers had been dependent on each other since childhood, and the eldest brother was like their parents.
Zhang Jiao covered his mouth with one hand and kept moving the other hand.
"No, ahem, we finally defeated Dong Zhuo this time. We must capture him and defeat the power of the army in Hebei! Ahem, cough."
"But..."
Zhang Bao wanted to speak, but Zhang Jiao gave him a fierce look.
"We have hundreds of thousands of believers under our command, but we have been besieged by the army for two months. We have already run out of food and supplies!"
"Ahem, cough, cough, if we can't defeat the army this time, it won't take long, cough, cough, we will starve to death! Ahem, cough, cough."
After saying that, he spurted out another mouthful of blood.
"Brother!"
Zhang Jue waved his hand weakly and looked at Zhang Bao with eyes full of hope.
"My body can't hold on much longer. Ahem, cough, cough, this may be my last time playing."
"From now on, ahem, the Taiping Road will be left to you."
The personal guards around him were all Zhang Jue's direct descendants. Knowing that Zhang Jue's time was running out, they couldn't help but get wet in their eyes.
Zhang Jiao cheered up and shouted loudly.
"The sky is dead, the yellow sky should be established, and the age of Jiazi will be good for the world! People of the Yellow Turban, defeat the officers and soldiers in front, and the prosperous age will come! Kill!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The Yellow Turban soldiers were infected by Zhang Jiao, and they roared and struggled forward. The distance between them and the officers and soldiers was constantly shortening!
