"General Qi, there is a man named Liu Bei outside the door asking for an audience!" Zhu Jun was discussing with Huangfu Chong how to deal with the Yellow Turban Army. When the two disagreed, the guard suddenly came to report,
"Liu Bei? General Lu Zhi's student! Why is he here? Has the war in Jizhou been settled?" Huangfu Chong asked Zhu Jun a little puzzled.
"I don't know, please come in and ask!" Zhu Jun said
"Liu Bei pays homage to the two adults!" Liu Bei saluted respectfully.
"Why are Xuande here? Could it be that Mr. Lu pacified the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou?" Zhu Jun said with a smile.
"Sir!" Liu Bei shouted and started to cry, leaving the two of them speechless for a while. Why do you, a man, cry so easily?
"What happened?" Huangfu Chong asked helplessly.
"Lord Lu has been arrested!" Liu Bei cried and told the story in detail, only to make the two of them look at each other. This damn Zuo Feng sighed in his heart at the same time, and couldn't help feeling a little chilled!
"Xuande, don't be anxious. I'll write a letter and send it to the court to express General Lu Zhi's achievements and plead for Master Lu!" Huangfu Chongdao
"Thank you, sir, but I wonder if we can achieve meritorious service, can we better rescue Lord Lu Zhi!" Liu Bei stopped crying at this time and said quickly.
"That makes sense! It's just that the Yellow Turban Army here is difficult to pacify for a while, so where's the merit?" Zhu Jun said a little discouraged
"Since Xuande said this, it seems that he has some high opinions?" Huangfu Chong, who understood people's hearts better, asked
"My lord, why don't you divide your forces? The Yellow Turban Army in Dongjun is on the defensive! But the Yellow Turban Army in Nanyang doesn't have any outstanding generals! If we divide our troops to take Nanyang first, then destroy Dongjun, and finally come back to Yingchuan! In this way, the Yellow Turban Army will only The three brothers Zhang Jiao of Jizhou are left!" Liu Bei talked eloquently and followed his own thoughts and said,
"Haha, Xuande is indeed Lu Zhi's disciple. This strategic layout is indeed the most suitable route now. The only shortcoming is that there are too few soldiers!" Zhu Jun said with a smile, Liu Bei's ideas were similar to his!
"General, soldiers are more expensive than more. I am willing to do my best and lead the two brothers Guan and Zhang as the vanguard!" Liu Bei saw that he had a chance and quickly asked for orders. After all, this was the best time for him to step on the big stage. For so many days, Cheng Feng has been standing still, either because someone is holding him back or because of something else. Anyway, as long as he doesn't move, he has the initiative. No matter what happens, Cheng Feng's reputation and power will be damaged!
"Okay! Xuande is willing to work hard to move forward. How can we spare our lives? Mr. Zhu, I am willing to lead the troops behind and attack Nanyang by surprise!" Huangfu Chong saw that he had no choice but to say boldly.
"Haha, okay, with the help of two people, Zhang Mancheng and others will definitely lose!" Zhu Jun laughed. "Liu Bei obeys the order. You will lead your troops as the vanguard. You will build bridges when encountering water and clear roads across mountains. You must open up a road to the sky for Master Huangfu Chong!"
"Yes!" Liu Bei responded, "It's just that I don't have enough soldiers on hand, so I'm afraid it will affect the progress of the army!"
Zhu Jun smiled and said, "What's the problem? I'll allocate another five thousand troops to you!"
"Thank you, sir! Bei will definitely go through fire and water!" Liu Bei was overjoyed.
"Okay, soldiers are valuable and quick. You quickly go pick up the troops and then set off!"
"Yes!" Liu Bei hurriedly went to recruit troops. This was a good opportunity to expand his strength!
"Haha, Liu Bei is so scheming!" Huangfu Chong sneered as Liu Bei walked away.
"Oh, it's a critical moment, and I can't care anymore. As long as the chaos is put down as soon as possible, peace will be restored to the world! As long as you and I control Liu Bei, when the Yellow Turban is put down, it will be the time to disarm and return to the field!" Zhu Jun said with a helpless smile.
"Your Excellency, I'm afraid this is just the prelude to the chaos. No one like Sun Jian or Liu Bei can live in peace!" Huangfu Chong said.
"Haha, then let them lead the troops to deal with the Yellow Turban Army!" Zhu Jun said with a smile.
"Aren't you afraid of them cultivating their own power?"
"Haha, can this be avoided?"
Huangfu Chong was taken aback by these words. It seems that Mr. Zhu is not a good person. That's right. How can a simple person be a high-ranking official? "Then you also create opportunities for them, do you also plan to cultivate yourself?" The power?" Huangfu Chong joked
"Haha, Mr. Huangfu is joking. You and I are getting old. From now on, it will be the stage for these young people. You must know that we are not only facing the Yellow Turban Army, but the most important enemies are in the court! Let them fight Let those eunuch families fight! Let’s not talk about this anymore, let’s study the route of the army and strive to defeat the enemy as soon as possible, so as to rescue Mr. Lu!” Zhu Jun said with a bitter smile.
"Alas! Traitors are in power!" Huangfu Chong said helplessly, "I hope we can defeat the enemy soon, otherwise Lu Zhi will be our fate!"
"Brother, Master Zhu Jun has given us five thousand elite soldiers. What are we going to do?" Zhang Fei said excitedly as he looked at the five thousand elite soldiers Liu Bei selected.
"Haha, third brother, these are all elites, all brave from His Majesty's Xiyuan! We must seize the opportunity and kill more Yellow Turban thieves this time to rescue Master Lu!" Guan Yu also said excitedly,
"Well! Wu Yong still needs two brothers to worry more!" Liu Bei said with a smile.
"Brother, what are we going to do?" Zhang Fei talked for a long time, but before he got to the main topic, he became a little anxious.
"Simple! According to Master Zhu's arrangement, build bridges when encountering water and open roads over mountains!" Liu Bei said lightly
"Ah! Then how can you kill the enemy and achieve meritorious service!" Even Guan Yu was a little puzzled.
"These five thousand sergeants are not ours. We can't take them away. We have to take this opportunity to make a name for ourselves. There are many wealthy families in Nanyang who have a lot of money and warriors. If we can build a good relationship, it will be beneficial to our future actions!" Liu Bei's mysterious way
"Big brother still has the foresight!" Zhang Fei suddenly realized
"So, we can only win this time but not lose!" Liu Bei solemnly said
"I'm willing to listen to my big brother's orders!"
"Okay! Let us three brothers attack Nanyang together!" Liu Bei said with great joy, "Let's go and send troops to Nanyang!"
"Kill!" The battle in Jizhou was still raging, and Guo Bang led the Xiliang cavalry to slowly press forward!
"Hold on!" the leader of the Yellow Turban Army shouted, and quickly commanded his troops to form a formation to meet the enemy. Ever since he knew he was leaving behind, Zhang Guang had no intention of going back alive. If Zhang Liang hadn't saved him last time, his family would have been wiped out. This time The hero's general asked him to end his life, and he wanted to be worthy of his life-saving grace. He just hoped that his son could live a good life! Seeing the dark cavalry slowly accelerating, Zhang Guang knew that he would be too passive if he didn't take action.
"The front army will continue to surround and kill the Han generals, the rear army will meet the enemy, and the archers will release arrows!" Zhang Guang made the most correct choice in the shortest time, because Dong Zhuo would definitely feel more relieved after seeing the reinforcements. You have to seize this opportunity to defeat him. If you can't kill him now, there will be no chance today!
"kill!" When the time comes, the combat effectiveness has been improved to a higher level than at the beginning. In this palm-sized place, tens of thousands of people were suddenly crowded, and the advantage of the cavalry was greatly weakened.
"Surround me, don't let the horses charge!" Zhang Guang shouted while waving his sword. At the same time, he also arranged for people to mix with the Xiliang soldiers as much as possible, so as to reduce the disadvantage!
"Haha! Guo Si has already led his troops. Come with me and join them!" Dong Zhuo was overjoyed. At this moment, he was as if he had been reborn. He was full of energy and took the lead to rush forward. When they completely let go of their hands and feet, , that was a massacre. After all, the Yellow Turban Army did not have many generals. Although they were elite, they had no one to command them. Soon Dong Zhuo found an opportunity and broke out!
"Wait for me, I will be back immediately!" Dong Zhuo laughed and ran towards the camp. Now that more and more Xiliang soldiers had stabilized, Dong Zhuo rushed back to the camp to rectify the soldiers.
"General, is something bad? I'm afraid General Renggong can't come to meet us. Let's retreat first. We can't all die here!" Looking at the rows of people falling, someone said to Zhang Guang,
"Alas! What a failure!" Zhang Guang wished he could give himself a slap in the face, and all the ducks he got flew away. "Listen to my orders and fight while walking. Take more trails, mountains, roads and woods!" Zhang Guang shouted as he backed away.
Originally the Yellow Turban Army did not want to fight, that is, those who were entangled with the Xiliang soldiers had no choice but to fight. Seeing that the situation was not good, they quickly ran away. When they heard Zhang Guang's words, they ran even more Well, as for how to run, who knows for this fool, as long as he can run, anyway, the farther away from the cavalry behind, the better. Zhang Guang finally led more than 3,000 people to escape back to Guangzong City, and the remaining people were basically killed by Dong Zhuo.
After this, both sides suffered losses. The Yellow Turban Army lost 20,000 horses and Dong Zhuo lost 50,000 to 60,000 people. The most important thing was that the grain and grass were burned by Zhang Liang! Dong Zhuo was so angry that he finally took the advice of his son-in-law Li Ru and borrowed grain from the aristocratic families in Jizhou. The name was borrowing, but in fact it was robbery. For a time, the big families in Jizhou were more defensive about Dong Zhuo than against the Yellow Turban Army!
"General, the largest family in Jizhou is the Zhen family in Yecheng!" Li Ru said to Dong Zhuo
"The Zhen family? That's the number one merchant!" Dong Zhuo was very interested.
"Yes! The Zhen family is extremely rich. Their food and money are second to none in the entire Han Dynasty! If we can get their support, then we can gain a foothold here!" Li Ru said excitedly
"Yeah! Send someone to try. If you don't obey, I'll give the Zhen family a bloodbath!" Dong Zhuo said murderously. After all, there were so many mouths for his men to eat, and he did not have much food and grass, and he had to be prepared for the Yellow Turban Army. If you can't raise food for a sneak attack, you don't need to fight, you will starve to death!
"Zhang Guang" Zhang Liang looked at Zhang Guang and was very happy. He really didn't expect that he could come back alive. After all, when he led his troops to respond, he only saw corpses on the ground.
"General! Fortunately, Zhang Guang lived up to his command and brought back three thousand people!" Zhang Guang was also very happy. After all, Zhang Liang had saved his life. When they met again, he also felt emotional!
"Haha. Okay! You have done a great job this time! Dong Zhuo, the old thief, has no food and grass!" Zhang Liang said happily
Zhang Guang's eyes lit up, what a great opportunity, and he quickly said, "General, this way we can keep sending troops to harass Dong Zhuo! Just delay him for a few days and wait for his defeat!"
"Not bad, not bad!" Zhang Liang became more and more satisfied as he looked at it. He finally had someone with a good brain. "In this case, this task will be left to you. There are hundreds of thousands of people in this city. You can mobilize them at any time." ." Zhang Liang laughed.
"Ah! Thank you so much, General!" Zhang Guang didn't expect it and quickly saluted! At the same time, he was filled with surprise and gratitude, and secretly determined to defeat Dong Zhuo.
Just when fighting was happening everywhere, Changshan County was full of vitality. Chengfeng took advantage of this rare free time to develop farming. After a year of planning and construction, many wells have been mined. And the canal has been repaired, which can perfectly solve the drought! In addition, there was a lot of food and agricultural tools. Chengfeng used the experience of later generations to plow the soil deeply and diversify grains. With the increase in population and the work of the field soldiers, basically all the cultivated land was planted with farmers, and now everything is thriving. The growing wheat looks like it’s a good harvest year! There were voices praising Cheng Feng everywhere in the city, but this guy was so happy!
"Brother! When are we going to fight him again?" Zhao Yun said. After the last battle, these guys have tasted the benefits. Now they are asked to watch others fight, which really makes them feel uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, there's plenty of fighting to be done! Let's wait now!" Cheng Feng said with a smile. He had received news from Zhang He and knew their intentions and whereabouts. As for the soldiers and horses in front of him, Cheng Feng was also aware of them.
"Lord! How about I lead a team and go for a walk outside the city!" Zhang Liao couldn't help it. After all, Zhang Jiao and the others are so busy that it's better to go out and see if they can pick up anything missing than watching!
"You guys! You can't calm down!" Cheng Feng said with a smile, "Why are you so anxious! If you have nothing to do, train more troops and forge more weapons. If you two are really bored, just come and spar with me!"
"This." Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao looked at each other speechlessly, and could only smile bitterly. How did this guy change his temper? It’s no longer time to start running around with yellow turbans and grabbing things!
"Come on, come on, see if you two are okay, come and fight with me!" In order to prevent these two people from scratching their ears, Cheng Feng took the two of them to fight. After a while, the three of them were fighting each other with guns and halberds. stand up. As he grew older, Zhao Yun became stronger and stronger. At the beginning, Cheng Feng and Zhang Liao could still bully him when he was young, but that was no longer the case. Whether it was speed, skill, or strength, Zhao Yun was able to dominate both of them. From fighting each other at the beginning, to now, no one can defeat Zhao Yun in a one-on-one fight. Even Cheng Feng can only last fifty rounds. If Zhao Yun really kills, it will probably be over in one round. Because Zhao Yun can now shoot twelve spear flowers with one shot, he is really unstoppable! The two of them teamed up to fight Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun could only defend, but he could occasionally fire a shot to alleviate the crisis!
"Sweep thousands of armies!" Cheng Feng shouted loudly, but he struck down from the head, which only shocked Zhao Yun. He muttered in his heart, "I knew this was a scam, and he did it again. Fortunately, I was prepared!" Then he saw Zhao Yun! The spear moved around, just in time to lead Zhang Liao's Wentian Spear to block Cheng Feng's halberd. He heard a clang. Zhang Liao was not prepared, and Cheng Feng's hand was numbed by the shock, and the spear was knocked aside. went. Fortunately, Zhang Liao reacted quickly and hit Zhao Yun directly with the backhand of the divine dragon hook sickle in his left hand, forcing Zhao Yun to withdraw his spear and use the sword, otherwise Cheng Feng would have been led away by Zhao Yun! Zhao Yun was also unambiguous. He took this opportunity to turn from defense to attack, attacking like a wave of shots one after another. Cheng Feng waved his halberd and went head-to-head with the gun! Zhang Liao also switched to holding a knife with both hands, and attacked Zhao Yun as fast as lightning. Both of them had the same plan, which was to drag Zhao Yun and not give him time to breathe! In the blink of an eye, several people had passed dozens of moves, and they heard Zhao Yundao say, "Be careful!" As he said this, the spear shook and pierced Cheng Feng's facade. Cheng Feng felt that the people coming towards him were all spear heads, and he couldn't see. After telling the truth, he could only wave his halberd, jump back, exit the battle circle, and admit defeat! The remaining Zhang Liao also admitted defeat!
"Zilong! You didn't even say let us have some points!" Cheng Feng complained.
"You two, I can't defeat you two even without all my strength!" Zhao Yun rolled his eyes and made several people laugh!
"You two, train more and learn the art of war from Fengxiao if you have nothing else to do! It won't be long before we go to war!" Cheng Feng said with a smile.
"Really! That's great! Haha!" Zhang Liao laughed, but he couldn't hold it in!
"Mr. Xu, this is the imperial court's baggage team. Do we want to rob it too?" Zhang He looked at Xu Shu speechlessly, and thought to himself, "I'm afraid this guy is crazy because of his poverty. He also wants to rob the imperial army's baggage team! That's not true. Are you helping the Yellow Turban Army in disguise?"
"The Imperial Court's baggage team? Why can't I see it?" Xu Shu said with a smile.
"Don't you think that's a banner?" Zhang He pointed with his hand and whispered.
"If they are from the imperial court, where do you think they will be transported?" Xu Shu asked, still smiling.
"Of course it's the front line! There are many Han troops in Yingchuan!" Zhang He explained
"Haha, Emperor Ling has a decree that the families of the governors from all over the country will support the Han army at all costs. Besides, do you need to come from Luoyang to drink some Han army food and grass in Yingchuan?" Xu Shu said slowly.
"This may be a transportation team sent by the imperial family due to insufficient supplies from the aristocratic families!" Zhang He said uncertainly.
"If that's the case, why don't they march quickly? You know this is a place controlled by General He Jin. How could the Han army move so slowly!" Xu Shu asked again
"Then sir, are they pretending to be the Han army?" Zhang He was a little doubtful now.
"Not bad! I suspect they are fake Yellow Turban Army!"
"What if I type it wrong?" Zhang He asked uncertainly.
"You can't be wrong. Do you think the discipline of the Han army is so bad? They don't even make the most basic marching arrangements, and they even feel a little sneaky!" Xu Shu said with a smile, "This is definitely not the Han army!"
"What if it's someone from a wealthy family?" Zhang He asked uncertainly.
"Then grab it, the aristocratic families are full of moths, and the rich families are thieves! Just give us military resources so that we can better fight against the Yellow Turban Army!" Xu Shu gritted his teeth and said
"Okay! Then follow your instructions, sir!" Zhang He knew that Xu Shugui had a lot of ideas, so he could charge into the battle by himself, but he still wasn't ready for such a conspiracy!
Zhang He led his troops and quietly ran to the front. He followed Xu Shu's arrangements and set up an ambush at the intersection. Then Xu Shu led his troops to flank him from behind. The battle ended as quickly as it started! Before the pair could react, they were surrounded!
"General, we are transporting food to General Huangfu!" the leader said to Zhang He
"Stop talking nonsense, I am the commander of the Yellow Turban Army General, and I am here to rob you of food!" Zhang He said with a smile.
"Nonsense, how can the Yellow Turban Army have such sophisticated equipment and soldiers!" the leader said, "General, we are really sending food to General Huangfu!"
"Haha! That's right! That's just right. You can leave the food back and I'll deliver it to you," Xu Shu said calmly.
"Here, the military order is like a mountain. It's better for me to deliver it myself!" The leader said while winking!
"Oh! If that's the case, let's kill him! Kill me!" Xu Shu suddenly shouted loudly, and Zhang He led his men to rush to kill them. This group of people were already frightened and were thinking of running away. This was a good time. No matter where they are, they just want to run away. "Don't mess around, rush out with me, ah!" The leader was sent back to his hometown by Xu Shu before he could finish his sentence. Without the leader, the next step will be much easier, "Don't let one go!" Zhang He shouted while killing. This group of people were no match for him. They killed everyone in a short time. "Take everything away! Dispose of the body!" Zhang He said with a smile.
"Oh! Jun Yi, why didn't you survive?" Xu Shu said with some regret.
"Ah? I was so happy with the killing that I forgot about it!" Zhang He said embarrassedly, "Mr. Xu, why are you trying to keep him alive?"
"This is the Yellow Turban Army. They have hoarded all these things. There must be a warehouse! We can find it by following the clues!" Xu Shu said with some regret.
"Haha, Mr. Xu is a wise man!" Zhang He said with a smile.
"Oh, what do you say?"
"We are here to guard, are we still afraid that they won't come? We will know where they are by then!"
"Yes, yes! Haha, General Zhang is still good at both civil and military affairs!" Xu Shu joked
"Mr. Xu, please stop making fun of me, let's see what good things are there!" Zhang He's face turned red and he quickly changed the subject.
"Haha, let's go! Let's see if we get rich!" Xu Shu stopped joking!
