There was a slight breeze that night. The weather in June was not too hot yet. The breeze was caressing Jizhou. Dong Zhuo was drinking wine in the camp. "Don't tell me, this Chengfeng Niang wine is not bad. I have never tasted it so fragrant." Where’s the wine! It seems like I’ll have to trade my war horse with him for some next time!”
"General, we will go to Changshan tomorrow to transport grain. Then we will change some wine. Don't tell me, after drinking this wine, drinking anything else will be like drinking cold water!" Zhang Ji said with a big tongue, this wine is very strong. Tao, it's strong enough, but it's easy to get addicted! After just a few bowls, I felt like the sky was turning around and the earth was turning around, and everyone looked like they had two heads!
"That's right. See if you can get the recipe for this brew for our family. When we get back, we can brew it ourselves!"
"Yes, lord!" Guo Bang said. Although this wine is different, he doesn't like it. What he is most worried about now is that he is afraid that Cheng Feng will set a trap. If tens of thousands of people like him enter the city, That's a sheep entering the tiger's mouth. After all, Cheng Feng has been coveting these war horses for more than a day or two! It seems that I have to be smart tomorrow and let Zhang Ji wait outside with the cavalry, while I lead the infantry to transport food!
"Kill!" Just when Guo Bang deserted and the others were drinking happily, there was a sudden cry of killing. At that time, the wine frightened several people half awake, "What's going on?" Dong Zhuo said angrily. Ever since the call came to Jizhou, things have not gone smoothly. Finally, he was in a good mood. After drinking a little wine, he encountered such a thing. What a special girl. It's so annoying!
"Lord, Zhang Liang is here to rob the camp!" Li Ru came running and said
"What a piece of shit! If you don't dare to fight face to face, you will attack by surprise!" Dong Zhuo threw the wine glass angrily.
"My lord, you don't have to be like this. Hua Xiong is willing to lead five thousand elite troops to repel the enemy!" Hua Xiong has not been on the battlefield since he came to Jizhou. Seeing the opportunity, he quickly asked for orders,
"Okay! Go ahead! You two, Guo Si and Li Jue, will also lead troops to assist Hua Xiong. I will personally lead the army to guard the camp!" Dong Zhuo responded quickly and finally said proudly, "Let me warm this wine here, wait. Kill the Yellow Turban Army and have a drink again!"
"Fight with me!" Hua Xiong led his troops into battle, but not a single blade of grass grew! Without talking to each other or forming a formation, he just rushed out with the cavalry. Hua Xiong was extremely powerful, and with a big sword in his hand, he was chasing the generals of the Yellow Turban Army. Zhang Liang was so angry that he wanted to curse, although The three brothers have some martial arts skills, but they are not very strong in martial arts. This time, they brought 5,000 people to lure the enemy. As soon as they arrived, they arranged more than 700 people to quietly ambush nearby, waiting for them to lure the enemy. They can set fire to the place where I am lying in ambush. This is a good time. I met such a tough guy and didn't talk to him. He didn't recognize him either. He was very skilled in martial arts. He only fought for four or five rounds. Now his hands are still numb. This tough guy is chasing after me. Killing, really makes people speechless! Not only Zhang Liang was depressed, but Hua Xiong was also a little surprised. Basically, he didn't have a three-in-one enemy in the battle. Today, this guy had a few moves that were okay. He was just planning to have a good time, but he ran away. Judging from his martial arts skills, he should He is a respectable person, and he must be killed!
"Hurry up and kill me!" Hua Xiong shouted in a rare voice! He led thousands of people to chase him out. Zhang Liang kept cursing in his heart, how could this be luring the enemy? This bastard was determined to kill me. He had to hurry up. It would be too bad to die here. loss! "Hurry up, hurry up, stop me in layers, don't run around! Use the trip rope more often!" Zhang Liang shouted as he ran. Regardless of whether anyone listened to him or not, at least the pursuers behind him would slow down. They wouldn't dare to do that. Quick pursuit! When Guo Si and Li Jue saw this, they quickly led their troops to chase him. Unbeknownst to others, they recognized him. That man was General Zhang Liang. If he killed him, his name would go down in history! The two of them kept urging them to chase him quickly!
"Drive!" Zhang Liang kept whipping all the way, and finally ran past Zhang Bao's ambush circle. Hua Xiong and the others were still chasing after him. Zhang Liang almost cursed. Fortunately, there was a large camp a few miles ahead, and there were Tens of thousands of soldiers, otherwise my life will be lost!
"General, be careful of an ambush!" Li Ru said to Hua Xiong and others, because what happened today is too unusual. How could Zhang Liang dare to attack a camp of hundreds of thousands of troops with such a small number of people, and there were obviously yellow scarf troops in front. But he did not come out to meet the enemy.
"Haha, what are you afraid of? So what if there is an ambush? Look at these rabble, what are they doing!" Hua Xiong laughed. Just as he finished laughing, a cannon rang out, and more than 10,000 ambush soldiers were killed on both sides. , all were crossbowmen, and waves of bows and arrows came like a tide. The Xiliang soldiers fell off their horses one after another. At this time, the people arranged by Zhang Liang finally found the opportunity and set off a fire in a camp. Many people Since he couldn't get into Dong Zhuo's camp, he set fire nearby. Anyway, from a distance, it looked like the camp was on fire. Hua Xiong and others originally wanted to kill the ambush soldiers, but when they saw a fire in their backyard, they all returned to put out the fire. Zhang Liang took advantage of the situation and covered it up with his elite troops. When the situation changed, the roles were reversed. The person who was chasing him was now being chased!
"Hurry up, go back and kill the enemy and put out the fire!" Guo Bang shouted. He and Li Jue were originally ordered to assist Hua Xiong, but now they are ambushed. This Liang cannot be killed. He knows his lord's ability. If there is a real fire If the camp is burned down, maybe he and Li Jue will have to bear the blame!
"Set fire quickly, the bigger the better, run away after setting it, don't get caught!" A group of people swarmed around Dong Zhuo's camp and set fire everywhere, no matter where they were. When Dong Zhuo's army came out to put out the fire, this group of people He ran away a long time ago. When the wind blew, the fire really started to burn!
"Go back quickly, hurry up!" Guo Bang shouted. At this time, he felt a little bit guilty about Hua Xiong. Why did he chase him so far when he had nothing to do? Now it's okay, we still have to run back as hard as we can. Who has the strength to put out the fire now? Zhang Liang is chasing after him like a mad dog. How did you run so fast just now and you weren't tired?
"Kill!" shouted again, and another group of people came out halfway. Several people were overjoyed, "Don't panic, everyone, General Dong has sent people to pick us up!" Hua Xiong grinned with his big mouth, and Li Ruzheng looked at it. I want to give him a few loud mouths, "You idiot, didn't you see these people coming directly to kill us!" Before Li Ru could say anything, there was a shower of arrows in front of him, and the Xiliang soldiers who had just relaxed were unprepared. , just like cutting a leek, a piece fell down.
"No!" Even a fool could tell that something was wrong. Hua Xiong shouted, "Hurry up and break out with me! This is the Yellow Turban Army. It's so insidious. It's ambushing us on the way back!" Hua Xiong, Guo Si Like three sharp arrows, Li Jue and the others led their men and horses to rush out. Li Ru and his soldiers followed them closely. The Yellow Turban Army had the advantage of the geographical location and was ambushed. It was regarded as waiting for work in leisure, and it also had a great psychological advantage. However, they could not hold back the desperate Xiliang army, and were eventually rushed out by Li Ru and some others. As for the rest, Zhang Liang and his men chopped it into minced meat!
"General, the enemy troops have been killed and dispersed. The fire is only burning near the camp! Several places in the camp have been put out!" Zhang Ji said to Dong Zhuo at Dong Zhuo's camp.
"Okay! Not bad! Let's set up the wine and wait for them to come back. Then we'll celebrate!" Dong Zhuo laughed.
"General, why do I feel like something is wrong?" Zhang Jidao
"What's wrong?" Dong Zhuo didn't think there was anything wrong. He was still tasting the wine and kept sighing that Cheng Feng's wine was good.
"If Zhang Liang came to rob the camp for a surprise attack, why would he bring such a small number of people? Besides, why did they set fire outside our camp!" Zhang Ji couldn't figure it out. This soldier is so deceitful. How weird!
"Never mind him, just kill them. We will withdraw from Chengfeng tomorrow after collecting food and fodder. All the evil tricks have nothing to do with us. We will go back to Xiliang and wait for the world to be in chaos before we look for opportunities to dominate the Central Plains." Dong Zhuo Said casually
"What's going on? Why is Daying okay?" Guo Bang looked confused and said to Li Ru with some disbelief, wasn't it on fire? Why is there nothing going on? I don’t have enough brain!
"We've fallen into the trap. It seems that Zhang Liang is planning to ambush us. It's just a time difference! Let's go back to the camp!" Li Ru said calmly. It seems that the Yellow Turban Army is not all idiots. A long-term illness can make a good doctor. , if you lose too many battles, you will become a military master!
"Let's go back!" Seeing several people returning to the camp, Zhang Bao felt that he could no longer attack, so he ordered Zhang Liang.
"Second brother, do we want to attack again?" Zhang Liang was really unwilling, mainly because he was unconvinced. He was chased and slashed by Hua Xiong just now, but many people saw him. If he goes back in such a dejected manner, his own Where should I put my face? Besides, the morale on our side is very high now. It would be a waste if we don't put it to good use!
"Attack? Can you beat it? Can you stop Dong Zhuo's tiger and wolf army? Among the generals just now, which one can you deal with?" Zhang Bao rubbed his forehead and said helplessly to Zhang Liang,
"I..." Zhang Liang was stopped by one sentence. He really couldn't beat that idiot. Now he felt scared when he thought about it. Fortunately, he was familiar with the terrain, otherwise it would have been dangerous, but he still didn't give up. He muttered, "We can't beat him, but we can't shoot more arrows and see if there are any surprises!"
"Go back! If Dong Zhuo's army is sent out, we will be the ones who suffer. Besides, we have the upper hand now. If nothing else, these thousands of horses belong to us!" Zhang Baodao said. After all, there are very few such cavalry in the Central Plains, and ordinary people don't. They couldn't afford to raise them. That is to say, Dong Zhuo's Xiliang soldiers all rode horses since childhood. When recruiting soldiers, they all brought their own horses with them, otherwise he wouldn't be able to gather so many cavalry! Zhang Bao was happy to get these thousands of horses, so he could equip cavalry, which would give him another guarantee!
"Okay! Go back to camp!" Zhang Liang said anxiously
"Lord, if the war is not going well for us, please punish me!" Dong Zhuo looked at the people kneeling in front of him, frowned and thought for a while, "Haha, victory or defeat is a common thing for soldiers. As long as everyone is fine, get up. ! It is easy to get a thousand armies, but it is hard to find a general. You are all brave generals of our Xiliang Army. From now on, just pay more attention to the war!"
"Thank you, lord!" Several people shed tears of gratitude. They thought they would be punished this time, but they didn't expect that the lord would be so kind this time.
"Okay, let's serve the wine and calm down the generals. When you go to Changshan tomorrow, be careful and don't let the Yellow Turban Army take advantage of you again!" Dong Zhuo said with a smile. Although he was very dissatisfied in his heart, he still had to rely on these people. Come to work for yourself, so I have to comfort myself!
Zhang He and Xu Shu, who were far away in Yingchuan, inadvertently ruined the Yellow Turban Army's plan. Now the two are planning what to do next. The biggest difference between the two is that Zhang He wants to continue to lie in wait for the Yellow Turban Army's food and grass, because the group he destroyed People will definitely have follow-up food and fodder, but Xu Shu thinks that he should take the initiative to attack, first eliminate the small group of Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan, and then see if there is a suitable opportunity to seize a few aristocratic families!
"Mr. Xu, I don't have any objections to dealing with the Yellow Turban Army. But do we have to think carefully about robbing aristocratic families?" Zhang He said.
"What's there to think about? The aristocratic families are the lord's most serious concern. Now we can take the opportunity to pretend that the Yellow Turban Army has wiped out several aristocratic families that are causing trouble. This will not only cause the Han army to mobilize, but also disrupt the situation in Yingchuan and create something for us. More opportunities, if the Han army and the Yellow Turban Army fight a few more times, maybe we can take a chance and destroy the Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan in one fell swoop. After all, there are not many Yellow Turban armies here!" Xu Shu said
"But which aristocratic family should we deal with?" Zhang He was finally persuaded by Xu Shu. Indeed, Xu Shu's method is the most suitable at present! It's just that Zhang He was a little embarrassed about the choice of aristocratic families. Although some aristocratic families were not good to the people, all the aristocratic families were now resisting the Yellow Turban Army, which was consistent with Cheng Feng's current strategic goals. He was still a little reluctant to treat these innocent people. Get rid of it.
"Haha, I said General Zhang, we don't have to attack and kill. As long as the wind is released, the Yellow Turban Army is going to attack and kill the Xun family in Yingchuan. With their power in the court, they will definitely mobilize their troops. In this way, the Yellow Turban Army from all over the country will be able to respond, and we can look for opportunities!" Xu Shu didn't want to embarrass Zhang He, so he had to tell him this plan, and at the same time said in his heart, "I'm sorry, old man, who called you the Xun family? The family is big and the business is big!”
I don’t know when it started or where the news came from. It was spread throughout Yingchuan that Bocai’s army was going to attack the Xun family in the near future, and the Yellow Turban Army from all over the country was ordered to come to support, which made the entire Xun family panic. Yes, regardless of whether this news is true or not, the Xun family used the power in the court to mobilize nearby Han troops to guard, and the Xun family's slaves and soldiers were also armed.
"Wen Ruo, why do you think this Yellow Turban Army suddenly wants to attack us? Our Xun family is not that easy to deal with, isn't it?" asked the head of the Xun family.
"Haha, don't worry, Patriarch. Bo Cai has been immobile for many days, so how could he attack us? It's mostly people spreading rumors. There's no need to panic, but you can't take it lightly. You still have to be prepared!" Xun Yu saw what was happening at a glance! The key point! With their strong strength, it is impossible for Bocai to shake them. This has been a stalemate for several months, and it is impossible to attack. Now Bocai's army is short of generals and food, and only small groups of troops from various places are attacking to disrupt the Han army and maintain a balance! Originally, Bo Cai had a chance to dominate Yingchuan, but unfortunately he failed to seize the opportunity when Zhu Jun and Huangfu Chong were away. Now that the two of them are leading their troops back to Yingchuan, Bo Cai regrets that he will probably hit the wall!
"Then I'll be relieved. By the way, you will go to Luoyang tomorrow to study with the two princes. You must behave well then!" The head of the Xun family became more satisfied with Xun Yu as he looked at him. He is indeed his own Qilin son!
"It's the head of the family!" Xun Yu saluted. In fact, he really didn't want to go. There was no freedom at all in that place!
Bo Cai didn't know where the news came from, but he was in no mood to deal with these things now. The loss of Nanyang City made him face the situation of dividing his troops for fighting. He didn't know Zhang Mancheng's life or death. He was now struggling with whether to send troops or not. When it comes to Dongjun, otherwise I would have no chance against Zhu Jun, Huangfu, Chong Hejin and others!
"Boshuai, why don't we attack Changshe, where we are adjacent to Runan to the south and Dongjun to the east. Although Runan was defeated by the Han army, there are not many soldiers now. And Changshe was where the Han army was stationed in the past. The city has been built by them and is very suitable for defense. Now without Zhu Jun and Huang Fuchong's army, we can capture the city in one fell swoop!" Someone said
"Okay! The army is attacking the city. I think it contains the food and supplies we need!" Bo Cai finally made up his mind to attack Changshe as his base in the future!
Zhang Mancheng had been lying in wait for three days under Runan City, and finally waited for the right opportunity. A group of grain transport soldiers were transported to Nanyang, but he killed them all on the way. He sent people disguised as defeated soldiers back to the city, and launched a sudden attack at the gate of the city to control the situation. After entering the city gate, the army then covered up and captured Ruyang City in one fell swoop. All the officers and officials guarding the city were killed. Han Zhong took the opportunity to divide his troops and get in touch with Peng Tuobo. The three parties joined forces to connect the territory of Yingchuan and Runan together. Zi's momentum was so great that the whole world was shocked.
"What happened? This Zhu Junhuangfu admired Nanyang, but lost Runan!" Emperor Ling was a little speechless, didn't he lose watermelon for sesame seeds?
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. As a result, the Yellow Turban Army is concentrated in Qingxu and Jizhou in the east county of Yingchuan. Although they are connected together, they are also besieged by us. They can only move east of Hangu Pass and are no longer able to target Luoyang. !" Zhang Rang said quickly,
"Well, it makes sense. In this case, let's send General He Jin to join the army! Try to put Zhang Jiao down as soon as possible. I really want to see what these three brothers are capable of?" Emperor Ling said with a smile.
After receiving the order from Emperor Ling, He Jin personally guarded the pass to be sure, and sent Cao Cao and Yuan Shao each with a force of soldiers and horses to rush for reinforcements at night, to Dongjun and Jizhou respectively to join the war, striving to put an end to the rebellion as soon as possible!
As for Xu Shu and Zhang He, after hearing the news that the Yellow Turbans were joining forces, for the sake of safety, they did not act privately. They were still waiting in secret, killing the Yellow Turbans in a small way. The situation in Yingchuan was slowly changing. With the arrival of Zhu Jun and Huang Fuchong's army, a confrontation has formed again!
