Three days have passed since the battle of Guangzong. Zhang Jiao's achievements are obvious to all. Cao Cao and others have lost 100,000 troops. Now they are gathering together to clean up the remaining troops and rectify the soldiers, planning to join forces with Yuan Shao, Lu Zhi and others to attack city. Now there is not much time left before the three-month period specified by Emperor Ling! Zhu Jun shudders every time he thinks of the scene of the Shadow Army rushing to kill. He has been leading troops for many years. He has fought hundreds of battles, large and small. He has never seen such a ferocious army. Looking at the entire camp now The remnants of the army were defeated. Zhu Jun took a deep breath. After Zhang Jue's destruction, these people were now frightened. They were afraid that Zhang Jue would come to kill again and they would already have a shadow on the Yellow Turban Army! "General Huangfu, look at it, morale is low now. If we don't think of anything else, the morale of the army will be shattered!" Looking at the spectacular Beijing view in the distance, Zhu Jun sighed, feeling very dissatisfied. If it weren't for Huangfu Chong last time, Even if I get a Jingguan, this angle will not retaliate against me like this!
"Yeah! I really didn't expect the troops in this corner to be so capable, but they are different from those in Runan, Yingchuan. It is indeed a problem now. We don't have the troops we want to match. It seems that we can only join forces with General Lu Zhi. Let's discuss countermeasures again. It's just that the three months period given by His Majesty has already passed a month ago. I'm afraid we won't be able to train troops that can compete with him within two months!" Huangfu Chong said worriedly. Only now I really regret it. If I had known this, I would not have advocated siege. Now I am fine. I was caught off guard. Not only did I not take advantage, but I even invested my capital. I finally saved hundreds of thousands. The number of men and horses increased to 20,000 in the blink of an eye. It was really hard work for decades to return to before liberation!
"Two generals, don't worry! I think Zhang Jue is just one of these elite soldiers. As long as we take strict precautions and don't let him defeat Zhang Jue one by one, we will still have a chance to compete with him, as well as the rest of us. Although the morale of the people is a bit low, they are all elites. If there is another war, I don’t think they will be killed so easily!" Sun Jian quickly stood up to speak at this time. He saw that the two old generals were a little depressed, so he Hurry up and cheer up. If the coach is scared, how can he still fight? As for this selfishness, Sun Jian also has it. If you don’t dare to fight, and advocate the attack on your own, isn’t this just being unique? You will win in the future. Then you are the mainstay in turning the tide! Some people will say that what if you lose? If you lose, you lose. Anyway, you have lost now. At most, the two people above will take the lead. You have nothing to lose. Maybe you can get promoted to a higher level and become the next one. Cheng Feng. Thinking of Cheng Feng, Sun Jian's eyes lit up and he clapped his hands and said, "Oh, my lords, why did we forget about Master Cheng? Didn't he defeat Zhang Jiao? We can ask him to borrow troops!"
As soon as he said this, Cao Cao almost laughed. This Sun Jian is really innocent and cute. Who is Cheng Feng? He is better than a ghost. You were reminded when you first came. This corner is not easy to fight. At that time, everyone thought it was Cheng Feng was afraid of being robbed of his credit by these people, so he said this in a very emotional way. After this fight, Zhang Jiao woke him up from the beating, which hurt him. When he thought about looking for Cheng Feng again, all the food and grass they gave him were gone. If you haven't defended it well, why would you have the nerve to ask for troops? Besides, why should they give you troops? Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but said, "Generals, Chengfeng and Zhangjiao are close to each other, but they only have one battle. This shows that neither side is sure of defeating the other. Now Chengfeng is building Julu City and resettling refugees." , not to mention there are no extra soldiers to lend to us. As for asking him to send troops, although there are so many of us together, although the soldiers are not good, there are more or less more than 100,000. How can we have the nerve to say it? Are we all just walking in the sack, so we are not as good as Is he a soldier recruited by Feng? It’s not good to hear this spread out. Won’t the Xiyuan Elite Soldiers, the elite division of the Han Dynasty, become a joke in the future? This makes His Majesty the Ling Emperor’s face look bad!”
"What Meng De said makes sense. We are all receiving salary from the imperial court. We are afraid of being beaten after losing a battle. It would be bad to spread the word. I think we still have to do it ourselves. Now Meng De still has 60,000 Elite soldiers, we still have 20,000 soldiers in Xiyuan, plus the 30,000 to 40,000 people controlled by hand, there are almost 112,000 troops. It is still possible to deal with Zhang Jiao. With the experience of going to the battlefield, I will gradually get used to it in the future. We won't be so at a loss when we fight! I believe that if we fight more battles with Zhang Jiao and the others, our army will grow rapidly. In the meantime, I will trouble you generals to pay attention. After all, morale is low now. Our most important thing is to first The morale of the army is stable!" Zhu Jun said
Now that the matter has been settled, Sun Jian no longer insists on inviting Cheng Feng. However, the most direct and effective way to improve morale is to win a few battles. However, looking at the current situation, it is a bit difficult! "I wonder if the generals can do anything to improve their morale?" Just when Sun Jian was thinking of a way, Zhu Jun asked with a smile. In fact, he had no other way. The fact is here, except for a fierce fight. , there is no other way. As for whether we can win, there is no need to say more. If we can win now, it will be damned!
"Judging from the current situation, this elite force should be Zhang Jiao's troops and the ace of the Yellow Turban Army. And this treasure now occupies Quyang, which will not be captured for a while. The easiest one to deal with is Zhang Liang. , based on my understanding of Zhang Liang, Zhang Jiao will definitely not let Zhang Liang lead this shadow army, so currently the only one we can attack is Zhang Liang, but it is impossible to lure Zhang Liang out of the city without a good method! "Cao Cao frowned and thought for a while and said
"Well! Meng De is right, then let's figure out how to draw Zhang Liang out to fight. Now the soldiers are basically stable, and the rest depends on how we operate!" Huangfu Chong said
No matter how they discussed seducing Zhang Liang, what the Shadow Army did spread quickly. When the news reached Luoyang, Emperor Ling was speechless for a long time when he looked at the battle report. This group of people is really worrying, okay The advantage was turned into a disadvantage. It was so fucking annoying. Originally, Emperor Ling wanted to kill a few people, but when he thought about the fact that there were only three or four officials in the Han Dynasty who had nothing to do with the family, if he killed them Without Zhu Jun and Huangfu Chong, there would be no one available. Thinking that the Ling Emperor not only did not punish them, but comforted them and even rewarded them with many things, even Zhang Rang was a little confused about the situation!
"Your Majesty, the war situation in Jizhou is so complicated. No one thought that Zhang Jiao still has such an army. Now it's a bit difficult! Why don't your Majesty ask Cheng Feng to send troops again? Didn't he retreat last time? Are you Zhang Rang?" Zhang Rang took the opportunity to speak, but Zhang Rang was not worried about the country and the people, but rather uneasy and kind-hearted. Ever since he knew that Cheng Feng was not one of his own, he had been thinking of ways to weaken his strength all the time. He knew it. Last time, Cheng Feng defeated only the ordinary Yellow Turban Army. Cheng Feng did not take advantage of this shadow army. Now that he had such a good opportunity, of course he would let them kill each other!
"This soldier is a major matter for the country. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. The most taboo is random command, especially random command from thousands of miles away. If you know the situation on the battlefield, you dare to assign soldiers and horses at will. Now Chengfeng has captured Julu , Provide grain and grass for the entire Han army in Jizhou, how can you send troops, what a nonsense!" Emperor Ling glanced at Zhang Rang coldly, and said without emotion, if you deal with people from a noble family under normal circumstances, I will tolerate it. , but now he is pointing his gun at the people he trained, that is, the uncle can tolerate it but the aunt cannot!
Seeing Emperor Ling's attitude toward him, Zhang Rang also changed his expression. It seemed that Cheng Feng was Emperor Ling's inverse scale. In the future, he would not be able to frame him, so he could only please him. Thinking of this, Rang quickly saluted. Admitting his mistake, as for what he thinks in his heart, only he knows! Seeing Zhang Rang's attitude, Emperor Ling didn't say much. After all, he relied on him to become the emperor, so he had to wave him away. However, he was quite happy recently. Cheng Feng's elixir was quite effective, especially I feel energetic recently. The concubines in the harem are all radiant and energetic, especially Queen He, who is pregnant. This is really a happy event! However, when he thought of the Emperor Ling, he felt a little hot all over again. He happened to meet a palace maid who came to bring tea. Without saying a word, the Emperor Ling picked him up and pushed him down on the main hall. For a moment, the whole hall was full of spring scenery!
Yuan Shao from Yecheng has been a little happy recently. When Cao Cao came last time, he made a mockery of himself. He said that he was good for nothing and that he only led the troops to get gold. He said that he could only give him a dozen dancing girls in the end. He planned to watch. He joked, after all, he and he were childhood friends, and they knew all about Cao Cao's hobbies. These people were all widows he carefully selected, just to tease Cao Cao, but he didn't expect that they would be beaten by Zhang Jiao now. It is said that he was beaten in while Cao Cao was watching a dance. Now Yuan Shao feels happy when he thinks about it, and he finally lets out a bad breath! "Haha, Cao Mengde, Cao Mengde, you too have today, haha!" Looking at Yuan Shao who was laughing, Ju Shou was speechless. The Han army was defeated. Why are you so excited? If this spreads out, it will be criticized.
"Lord, now is not the time to be happy. The Han army has been defeated. Zhang Jiao may send troops to attack at any time. We should seize the time to reorganize our troops and actively defend!" Jushou said quickly.
"Well! That's right! Now is indeed not a happy time. General Zhu Jun and his army are resting outside. It can be said that there is no danger to defend. As the nearest allies, we should provide support. It's just that we don't have many people now, so I'm afraid It won't help if you pass it by!" Yuan Shao also knew that he couldn't lose his composure again, otherwise it would have a bad impact! "What do you think? Let's guard Yecheng and discuss with them to let their army camp as close as possible to Yecheng. This way we can provide quick support if something happens!" Yuan Shao thought for a while and said this. Although there is some truth in it, But most of them still want to hug together for warmth!
"There is no other way but to do this first, lest they agree. There are not many places for them to camp near Yecheng. Besides, if they come, it will attract Zhang Jiao's attention. We have arrived at Yecheng!" Jushou said. Now when he thinks of the magnificent Beijing view, Jushou can wake up from his sleep. It is so cruel and inhumane! In the end, Yuan Shao sent someone to communicate with Zhu Jun. If the two parties cooperated, they would be defeated by Zhang Jiao alone!
Cheng Feng in Julu City was looking at the scenery on the top of the city, and he was still singing "Xiao Fan". Although Zhang Liao didn't know what it meant, it still sounded good to him, but he didn't know where this cheap master came from. There are so many strange and weird things, not to mention other things, even the recliner he made is quite comfortable. Looking at Cheng Feng's leisurely look, Zhang Liao is also drunk. Not many people can enjoy it so much! "Lord!" Tian Yu trotted over from afar, panting and sweating profusely. It was not ordinary for Tian Yu to lose his composure like this. Zhang Liao hurried over and continued. You must know that although Tian Yu's military strength is not outstanding, he can be regarded as an excellent general, and his physical strength is naturally not good. "Master Tian, what's going on?" Before Zhang Liao could speak, Cheng Feng said with a smile. He was also a little surprised. Even when he saw Julu's huge wealth last time, Tian Yu wasn't so anxious!
"My lord, something bad has happened. Zhang Jiao drove back the Han army and massacred more than 100,000 Han troops. Now he has set up a palace outside Guangzong City!" Tian Yu said anxiously
"What!" Cheng Feng jumped up from the recliner and said in a voiceless voice, "Didn't the Han army have more than 200,000 people? How could they be defeated so quickly!" Cheng Feng was a little puzzled.
"Alas! The Han army has been besieged for several days without incident. I don't know why Zhang Jue suddenly went crazy. Three days ago, he suddenly launched a surprise attack. The Han army was directly killed and retreated steadily. Even Cao Cao was not spared and was almost killed by Shadow Kill them, now the Han army is reorganizing, and I don’t know how long they can hold on!" Tian Yu sighed, feeling a little confused in his heart, how could so many people be defeated so quickly!
"Hmph, they were defeated like a mountain. The Shadow Army's combat effectiveness is higher than that of the Han Army. It was a surprise attack. It's reasonable to defeat them stupidly!" Zhang Liao said next to him. He had fought against the Shadow Army and knew that they were indeed powerful, but he was defeated. If they make a surprise attack, they may have no choice but to retreat!
"Wen Yuan is right. This Shadow Army is indeed powerful. It seems that we have to be more careful. By the way, what happened to the White Tiger Army formed by Wen Yuan?" Cheng Feng suddenly said, after the last war, he Let Zhao Yun, Zhang He and Zhang Liao form their own elite troops for easy deployment in the future. However, they have been busy rectifying government affairs recently and haven't paid much attention to them!
"Eight thousand troops have been selected, although they can be mobilized!" Zhang Liao quickly replied. This was Cheng Feng's instruction, and Zhang Liao would never neglect it. "That's good. You should train more. Now besides the God of War Army, there is only the White Tiger Army." They are people who have been on the battlefield for a long time, so they have been the main force in recent times! Now we are guarding two cities and have dispersed our forces. If Zhang Jiao makes a surprise attack, we will be weak, so I want you to be better than Shadow The army needs to be powerful!" Cheng Feng said, he was very reassured about Zhang Liao, especially Zhang Liao's ability and character, which have been verified by history!
"Yes, lord! But what should we do now?" Zhang Liao was a little worried. Now that Zhang Jiao's morale was high, the Han army not only failed to help, but instead built momentum for the Yellow Turban Army. It really failed to succeed but failed! Hearing this, Tian Yu also looked at Cheng Feng. He also knew that if he was not careful now, all his previous efforts might be wasted. Although Cheng Feng had an army of 100,000, only 40,000 to 50,000 could compete head-on with the Shadow Army. The remaining They are all people who have never experienced war. If they really fight with the Shadow Army, the result will not be much better than the Han Army!
"It doesn't matter, the number of people is not enough, we can make up the equipment. In this way, while the Han army is restraining Zhang Jiao, we will seize the time to build weapons and equipment. Each legion will be equipped with five hundred of these crossbows, five hundred sets of conjoined armor per legion, and light There are two thousand cavalry, and the rest are equipped with standard weapons according to personal abilities. From tomorrow on, we will conduct combat drills with the arms and strive to build your White Tiger Army first!" Cheng Feng said, otherwise he would have to have his own God of War every time. It would be too troublesome for the army to go to war!
"Yes!" the two of them replied. They had no other choice. They said that the situation was not as good as human beings, so any strategies were of no use. There was not much dangerous terrain near Guangzong, and it was summer again. There were many military and strategic uses. If you can't, you can only rely on people to fight. This is also the reason why Zhuge Wuhou failed in his previous Northern Expedition. No matter how many methods you have, once Cao Wei's army arrives, isn't it all in vain!
"Let's do this first, and let these refugees who have recovered their strength build the city, give them the treatment of Changshan, and officially settle down in Julu! In this way, they will work together to protect Julu and build Julu!" Cheng Feng thought for a while and said , and then sent the two of them to work, while he continued Ge You lying on the rocking chair. Not long after, another burst of singing came from the wall, "The peach leaves are pointed up, and the willow leaves will cover the sky!" Those who listened downstairs heard. Zhang Liaotian and Yu looked at each other speechlessly, only sweating a thousand lines!
Lu Zhi, who was far away in Zhongshan, was speechless for a long time after receiving the news of the defeat of Zhu Jun and others. He did not expect that his two old friends, old brothers, and old comrades could not escape Zhang Jue's vicious hands. The two of them had been writing letters in the past. Asking myself why I always lose the battle is very sarcastic. I can only suffer but cannot tell. Now that they have come in person, they have killed a bloody nozzle. It is really embarrassing. Lu Zhi smiled bitterly in his heart. Now the two of them have stopped arguing. They also know how powerful the Jizhou Yellow Turban Army is. It’s just a pity that these 100,000 Han soldiers died in vain and were made into Jingguan. Really What a pity!
"Oh, we are in the same boat. Now you know how difficult it is for me!" Lu Zhi looked at the information in his hand and said with a wry smile. At the same time, he was thankful in his heart. Fortunately, Zhang Jiao didn't attack him. Otherwise, he would have become such a talented person a long time ago. The corpse was found. Lu Zhi was frightened when he thought of this, and at the same time he admired Cheng Feng even more. After all, he was the only one who had won the battle! Lu Zhi arranged for everyone to prevent Zhang Bao's sneak attack. He quickly went to Liu Bei and others to discuss it. Now he could only rely on this cheap student. Since the last battle, he has become more and more aware of the importance of a peerless warrior. It is really good. Use it!
