After that, Zhang Xiu continued to tell Yu Jin about the battle situation in Quyang. In fact, it was nothing. After defeating Zhang Liang, the Optimus Prime, the Yellow Turban Army lost its backbone and was easily defeated. Many Yellow Turban Army soldiers fled, and many Yellow Turban Army soldiers were captured.
Dong Zhuo was not a cruel and fierce man at this moment. He did not massacre the prisoners of the Yellow Turban Army. Instead, he tried his best to recruit the Yellow Turban Army to surrender, causing many Yellow Turban Army to surrender to him.
Of course, those who surrendered were ordinary soldiers with unstable morale and devout beliefs. Those devout Taoists basically escorted Zhang Liang to retreat or fled into Zhongshan County.
Shangquyang City is a fortress city in Changshan and Zhongshan. Nominally, it belongs to Zhongshan County.
Once Quyang City fell, Zhongshan County was basically in no danger of letting Dong Zhuo and others fear him. This is a good time to officially encircle and suppress Zhang Bao.
Yu Jin learned about the basic situation of the battle through Zhang Xiu's mouth. Afterwards, Zhang Xiu also told the situation about the reward.
Although Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei and others were latecomers, the generous Dong Zhuo still distributed many captives to them, and even rewarded them with many materials and property. stand up.
When Yu Jin heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched. Didn't the Lord say that Liu Bei and Dong Zhuo are naturally incompatible? Why are they mixed together now? ! The attitude is like that of brothers!
It turned out to be because of this! ! Is this a timely help? !
The Great Desolate Territory is adding insult to injury, but Dong Zhuo provides help in the nick of time... Why does it feel like the Great Desolate Territory is the villain? !
If Lin Mu knew this information, I wonder what his reaction would be?
"General Yu Jin, we originally discussed in the previous meeting whether to go east to encircle Zhang Bao or go south to Julu to attack Zhang Jiao. What do you think about this?" Zhang Xiu asked in a low voice after explaining the situation.
"If I were the main general, I would definitely attack Zhang Bao from the east and cut off Zhang Jiao's arm!" Yu Jin said in a solemn voice without thinking too much.
Zhang Xiu nodded when he heard this.
The final decision of the meeting was to attack Zhang Bao from the east.
In fact, Yu Jin's answer was quite satisfactory, but it was not Yu Jin's real thoughts. Because Yu Jin already knew from intelligence channels that Julu was empty at the moment!
Zhang Jiao is not in Julu at all!
If Dong Zhuo goes all out to attack Julu, he might be able to defeat half of Julu!
It's a pity that he didn't expose any of this.
"Southern Jizhou is raging with war, and the pressure from the Yellow Turban Army is increasing. The same is true in Jingyu. The Yellow Turban Army has begun to be restricted to specific areas." Yu Jin thought to himself.
Yu Jin kept calm and continued to drink and eat meat. At the same time, he also observed the banquet.
During the banquet, everyone talked freely about military affairs, constantly belittling Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao, and even mentioned Zhang Jiao, calling him a chicken and a tile dog, as if he was vulnerable to a blow.
It doesn't matter if you belittle the enemy and boost morale, it's just talk on paper now. Even if Zhang Jiao is really described as a dog, nothing will change.
…
…
While Dong Zhuo and others were having a carnival, the atmosphere in the city lord's palace in Lunu City, Zhongshan County was a bit solemn at the moment.
"As the situation develops, the losses of our Yellow Turban Army are getting bigger and bigger." Gong Du, the commander of the Yellow Turban Daqu, said in a low voice.
"Yes, the third brother was only seriously injured, but those troops were defeated in one blow, like a pile of scattered sand." A familiar figure stood by the window and said solemnly.
This person is clearly the local general Zhang Bao!
In the early days of the uprising, those who fought on the front line were all elites. However, as the battle became more and more tragic, those elites were killed and wounded many times. The quality of the troops currently fighting on the front line is not as strong as that of the previous batch. This is also the reason why Shangquyang City was destroyed with one blow.
As soon as the news of the fall of Shangquyang City came, everyone was shocked and angry. Zhang Bao almost led his troops directly to Quyang City to avenge his brother!
But later I learned that Zhang Liang and other core figures were fine, and I was relieved again.
"The third brother should have returned south to Julu, and is fine for the time being. Now, what we have to face is the impact of the coalition forces of Gongsun Zan and Dong Zhuo!" Zhang Bao said solemnly.
"General Di Gong, a man holding the seal of General Ren Gong wants to see him." At this time, a messenger came in to report.
"Quick! Let him come in, no... I'll greet him!" Zhang Bao seemed to know who the person was, and he left everyone alone to greet him.
Soon, Zhang Bao saw the visitor in a side hall of the city lord's mansion.
This man was wearing an elegant green robe and a bamboo hat on his head, hiding his appearance.
However, if you look closely, you will find that its breath is not simple.
"Sir, having you help me is like having water." Zhang Bao was ecstatic when he saw the person coming. Gong Du and others who were following Zhang Bao heard that this mysterious gentleman had long been in contact with General Di Gong.
"That's ridiculous! My talents are just assistance. What really determines life and death is your power." The visitor said in a hoarse voice.
It was obvious that this person not only hid his appearance, but also his voice.
"It's a pity that we were defeated in the battle of Quyang." The visitor said hoarsely.
"It's not our fault, sir, it's all because the enemy is too cunning. He actually used some soldiers to hold us back, secretly infiltrated Chencang, and worked together to deal with the third brother." Zhang Bao said calmly.
Zhang Bao also knew about the situation in Quyang City. If Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei and others had not gone there, Dong Zhuo would have been defeated.
To the north of Jizhou, these guys are the only ones that are difficult to deal with. If we can deal with them, we will surely pacify the northern border!
The Yellow Turban Army, which has no worries, will use all its strength to deal with the Longting Central Army. In that case, there will be a great chance of entering Luoyang, the divine capital!
Unfortunately, everything has changed.
"We still have a chance!" Zhang Bao said with an angry look on his face.
The visitor nodded, and then said in a deep voice: "It's still the same old rules. I'm only responsible for making suggestions. It's up to you to believe it or not."
Zhang Bao nodded as if he had known this rule for a long time.
Gong Du and the others next to him heard this, and their expressions suddenly changed. Is there such a weird rule? Doesn't this put the safety of the entire army at risk? !
Those who make plans are the soul of the army, respected and recognized by the soldiers. Now it's just ridiculous for outsiders to make decisions with just a casual word!
Gong Du and others were about to dissuade them, but Zhang Bao raised his hand to interrupt him. He then shook his head and signaled them to be silent.
Everyone looked helplessly and angrily at this hidden rat.
Zhang Bao did this because of his brother's instructions.
In fact, the three brothers have known this person for a long time. Moreover, this person is not one person, but a group of people. Their plan is actually considered treason, but they have more worries and act quite conservatively. Unlike the three brothers, they directly raised the banner to overthrow Han Longting.
In fact, Taiping Dao can control Jizhou so easily because of the help of these people behind the scenes.
Otherwise, how could Taiping Dao alone instigate rebellion against the two core eunuchs of Longting? !
"You guys go down first." Zhang Bao ordered.
Everyone wanted to say something else, but Zhang Bao stopped them again.
Helpless Gong Du and others could only leave in despair.
As soon as they left, the visitor took off his bamboo hat, revealing a kind, middle-aged and elegant face.
"Mr. Xu, long time no see." Zhang Bao said softly, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar face.
"General Digong, you are well." Mr. Xu nodded and said solemnly.
"I came to visit you today not to make suggestions, but to invite you to attend a meeting." Mr. Xu added.
"How many of you will work together?" Upon hearing this, Zhang Bao was not surprised, but overjoyed.
"Yes! We feel that there is something different about Dong Zhuo. He is an important help to Liu Hong and must be eradicated!" Mr. Xu said solemnly.
"Okay! Let's go!" Zhang Bao clapped his hands and responded immediately. Then the two of them left the city lord's mansion through the secret passage.
…
"Shuai Daqu, how come General Di Gong follows such rules?! If this person has different intentions, wouldn't all our soldiers be his pawns?!" An elder of the Yellow Turban Army complained to Gong Du.
"Maybe this person is the confidant of General Tiangong and General Digong. Since they approve it, we subordinates can just execute it." Gong Du said after recovering from his contemplation.
The water on Taiping Road is very deep, and many people have only scratched the surface. The same is true for him, the newly promoted Daqushuai.
"It seems that we need to find an opportunity to spread this information." Gong Du thought to himself.
…
…
"What, let us be the vanguard and charge into Lunu City?" In the barracks, a lieutenant looked at Yu Jin with a livid face and said angrily.
"It doesn't matter. Although my unit is at the front, I feel the safest." Hearing this, Yu Jin patted the lieutenant on the shoulder and pointedly said.
"Zhang Liang was defeated. He might have returned to Julu or taken a detour to Zhongshan County. In order to destroy Dong Zhuo, Zhang Bao and the others will definitely lay out various ambushes along the way. Aren't we here to eliminate danger for them?!" The lieutenant was very worried. Not angry.
"The situation in Zhongshan is not as ordinary as Changshan. It will become even more bizarre!" Yu Jin said confidently.
"Legion Commander, has there been any important information?" Upon hearing this, the lieutenant's expression changed. Yu Jin met with some people from the Yeying Department before and discussed for more than an hour, maybe something good would come of it.
"I'll talk to you later. Now go gather the troops. You are the only old people in the army now. Go quickly." Yu Jin kicked the lieutenant and said with a smile.
"No!" The lieutenant was in a good mood at the moment, and went to assemble the troops with a smile.
Soon, Yu Jin led his troops to rush towards Lunu City.
