"Bell, bell, ......" The sound of gold sounded in the rear of the Han army. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
After a day of occupancy, the Han army still failed to break through Guangzong, so Lu Zhi saw that it was getting late and the soldiers were tired. It was difficult to capture Guangzong for a while, so he ordered the Ming army to withdraw his troops.
The besieging Han army began to retreat in an orderly manner, and Luo Gan saw that the soldiers were tired, and although Guangzong City was crumbling, it was still firmly defended. Mingjin withdrew the troops, the military law could not be violated, and the other captains had already ordered a retreat, and Luo Gan was naturally no exception, and the army withdrew to the camp.
The Zhang Jiao brothers in Guangzong City were relieved to see the Han army retreating.
Zhang Jiao's body shook, his left hand held his forehead, and his right hand held a sword on the ground, his face was a little pale, and there were many beads of sweat on his forehead. In addition to showing tiredness, there is also a faint sickness. He took a breath and said: "The Han army has withdrawn, let the believers strengthen the city defense, tomorrow the Han army will definitely come to attack the city again, and it will be a fierce battle." ā
Zhang Liang looked at the panting Zhang Jiao and was suddenly shocked, hurriedly assisted Zhang Jiao, and asked anxiously: "Brother, brother, what's wrong with you?" ā
Zhang Jiao pretended to be calm and said softly: "It's okay, it's just that I've been fighting with the Han army for days, I'm a little tired, just rest for a while." ā
Zhang Liang opened his mouth, some words were difficult to say, but there was a faint worry in his eyes.
Zhang Jiao looked fiercely at the retreating Han army outside the city, gritted his teeth and said, "Fight to the death tonight." ā
ā¦ā¦
In the tent of the Han army outside the city, General Lu Zhi sat on the main seat, and all the generals gathered below.
Lu Zhi said solemnly: "Although our army failed to capture the city today, I watched the Yellow Turban defeat repeatedly, and its morale has fallen. Tomorrow, the generals will need to personally lead the army to attack the city, and be sure to take the lead in taking Guangzong. I heard that some traitors in the court have slandered the emperor, saying that a certain soldier has been used for a long time and has spent countless money and food, but he still let the horned rebel get away with it. Although I am not afraid of the gossip of villains, we should put down the Yellow Turban Rebellion as soon as possible and restore peace to the world as soon as possible. ā
"No!"
"The general can rest assured, he will definitely take Guangzong tomorrow."
"Kill Zhang Jiao!"
The crowd responded.
Just as Lu Zhi was preparing to let everyone go down to rest and prepare to fight again tomorrow.
Luo Gan hesitated for a moment, remembering that Wu Yong, the military advisor, said that Zhang Jiao might attack the camp tonight, or wait until the others left the big tent. Then he opened his mouth to remind Lu Zhi: "General, today our army is attacking the city, and the soldiers are very, very desperate, and they are all tired. I'm afraid that the Yellow Turban thieves will attack the camp tonight. ā
Lu Zhi nodded, stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "Well, Feiyu's concerns are reasonable, I have already secretly ordered the soldiers to lie down in armor, weapons do not leave their bodies, and scouts are everywhere." is ready, but I am afraid that he will not come. Hehe. ā
Luo Gan smiled: "I don't want the general to be prepared, it's too much to say." ā
"Alas, it is also very good that Feiyu can be so vigilant, watch more art of war, practice, and become a general in the future. However, the Confucian classics should also be studied well. Lu Zhi said with a smile.
If you can worship Lu Zhi as a teacher, it must be excellent and have a good identity. Luo Gan bowed to Lu Zhi and said solemnly: "Qian has always admired Confucianism, but he has never met a famous teacher, which is very regrettable. Today, I want to worship Mr. as a teacher. Mr. Wangde pointed. ā
Lu Zhi was stunned, thinking in his heart that he hadn't accepted an apprentice for a long time. After Lu Zhi completed his studies, he returned to his hometown Zhuoxian to teach, and his disciples included Liu Bei, Liu Deran and Gongsun Zhan. Now that Liu Bei has come to help, he remembers the time when he gave lectures and accepted apprentices. See also that Luo Gan has some qualifications. can lead the righteous army to meet each other, serve the court, and have also made meritorious contributions several times, and can be regarded as a young talent.
Lu Zhi, who had a heart for talent, nodded and asked with a smile: "I saw that you like Zhuangzi's learning, but I don't know how to understand Confucianism. ā
Luo Gan was slightly embarrassed, knowing that Confucianism in the Han Dynasty was mainly to learn the Five Classics, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set up a doctor of the Five Classics. "Yi", "Poems", "Books", "Etiquette", "Spring and Autumn". At the beginning, I read "Spring and Autumn" and learned some poems in "The Book of Songs". But very little is known about this knowledge. It's not good to get an axe in front of a Confucian like Lu Zhi.
Luo Gan said embarrassedly: "Qian has learned very little, only slightly read "Spring and Autumn". ā
Lu Zhi took a closer look at Luo Gan, and saw that although Luo Gan was a little mature, he still had a little childishness on his face. Then he asked, "Non-fish, how young is it?" ā
In fact, Luo Gan really didn't know how old Luo Gan was now, but he was basically fifteen or sixteen years old, so he replied: "Qian, fifteen this year." ā
Lu Zhi knew that Luo Gan was not a child of a family, and although he knew politeness on weekdays, he was not very familiar with etiquette. Thinking that he didn't know much about the Confucian classics, he comforted: "There is a saying in the Analects: "I have five out of ten and am determined to learn, thirty and stand, forty and not confused, fifty and know the destiny of heaven, sixty and obedient, seventy and do what I want, and do not exceed the distance." Now is a good time for non-fish to learn, and you should read the classics in your free time, as the foundation of your life. Don't waste your time. ā
After speaking, Lu Zhi took a bamboo slip from the desk behind him and said, "This is my book, you can take it back and study it carefully, or it may be of some benefit to you." ā
Luo Gan solemnly took the bamboo slip with both hands, and then immediately reacted, gave a big salute to Lu Zhi, and then said excitedly: "The teacher is above, Qian, meet the teacher." I was busy today, and I didn't have all the gifts. After you go back, you should prepare all the gifts and come back to visit the teacher. ā
Lu Zhi nodded, waved his hand and said, "Feiyu, now in the barracks, everything is inconvenient." Tomorrow there will be a siege of the city, you don't have to worry, wait for the next day to destroy Zhang Jiao's class and return to the court, I am officially admitting disciples. Thou shalt go back first and rest, and be careful in the siege of the city tomorrow. ā
Luo Gan knew that he didn't have any gifts now, so he wanted to apprentice directly, which was very undignified. It's also that he doesn't have much respect for Lu Zhi, so it's better to bring all the gifts in the future and prepare for etiquette.
For the ancient rites of apprenticeship, Luo Gan still has a little understanding. The main thing is to send the teacher a bundle, that is, jerky. After receiving the bundles, the teacher gave back gifts such as the Analects, green onions, celery, etc., and at the same time led the students to sing the "First Chapter of the University", symbolizing the great responsibility of "preaching, teaching, and solving doubts".
There are also the so-called six rites of binding, that is, the six kinds of gifts given to the master by the disciples during the ancient worship ceremony. It is celery, which means diligent and studious, and the meaning of being diligent and diligent. There are also lotus seeds, lotus seeds are bitter, meaning painstaking education. Red beans imply red luck. Red dates, meaning early high school. Longan, meaning the completion of merit. Dried lean meat strips to express the disciple's heart.
Either way, Luo Gan always had to prepare some gifts. It's like paying tuition fees in later generations, and the teachers of the Han Dynasty are just restrained. Of course, Luo Gan felt that he must bring some other gifts in private to show his disciple's intentions.
Luo Gan happily returned to his tent, and when he officially defeated Lu Zhi as a teacher, then he could act as Lu Zhi's disciple in the future. Raise your fame so that you can attract the scribes.
ā¦ā¦
When the roosters crow, the night is dark, and only a few crows chirp in the middle of the night. A gust of bad wind blew the flags in the camp.
The gate of Guangzong was wide open, and a large yellow scarf came out of it, and it was natural that the goal of its march was the camp of Lu Zhi's army.
When he was not far from Lu Zhi's big tent, Zhang Jiao shouted: "Yellow Turban soldiers, I can't sit still. Tonight, we will break through the Han army camp and capture Lu Zhi alive. Otherwise, I will die at his hands sooner or later. Kill, kill! ā
After speaking, Zhang Jiao led the Yellow Turban army to attack Lu Zhiying.
"Ahh
"Kill."
"No one."
After Zhang Jiao saw that he killed several Han soldiers guarding the gate outside the camp, he entered the big tent of the Chinese army, but found that Lu Zhi's camp was empty.
couldn't help but be shocked, although Zhang Jiao had considered that the Han army was on guard before coming, but he still imagined that maybe the Han army might succeed in a sneak attack because it was attacking the city during the day and defending it at night. What if Lu Zhi thought that he didn't dare to come out. There was another reason why Zhang Jiao decided to take a risk.
If you stick to Guangzong and look at the situation of the Han army's siege of the city, you will not be able to hold it sooner or later.
"Kill!"
Poof, poof.
"Ahh
A rain of arrows came at the Yellow Turbans, followed by various stones or crossbow arrows, and some traps. A large number of yellow turbans were either killed by arrows or stoned. The Han army after one or two rounds of offensives. The Han army came from all sides of the camp.
"Capture Zhang Jiao alive and reward 100,000 yuan, and the official will be promoted to the third level."
"Don't let Zhang Jiao run away."
"Kill the thief and make a meritorious service!"
In the dark night, the Yellow Turban Army didn't know how many Han troops were killing them, anyway, they knew that the number of Han troops would not be small. They all looked very flustered and frightened.
Zhang Jiao shouted: "Withdraw, kill out." Withdraw to Gwangjong. If you want to live, kill me. ā
Zhang Jiao, who failed again, couldn't care about any image anymore, and shouted with red eyes.
Then the two armies fought together, and the morale of the ambush was high on one side. One side was ambushed and demoralized. It is conceivable who wins and who loses.
Lu Zhi, Luo Gan and others on the high ground in the distance looked anxiously at the camp. As soon as Zhang Jiao's army left the gate of Guangzong, there were scouts to report back to Lu Zhi, and the Han army immediately made preparations.
The three of them, Liu Guanzhang and Zhang, had already taken the lead and killed the Yellow Turban Army. Guan Yu is holding the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, the momentum is magnificent, the only deficiency is that the red horse under his crotch is just an ordinary war horse, not a red rabbit BMW, so there is no majesty of taking the head of a general among the ten thousand troops. But Guan Yu, whose force is worth 100, is currently unstoppable, and he really seems to be the god of war. With momentum alone, those yellow turban soldiers did not dare to fight head-on, and they often had two or three heads in one slash.
And Li Kui under Luo Gan is not to be outdone, although his martial arts are not as strong as Guan Yu, but the talent attribute of "thirst for killing", which gives Li Kui a bad spirit, is to make him charge bravely on the battlefield. For those little soldiers, Li Kui is an unscrupulous star.
Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Chao Gai, and Wang Jin are naturally very conspicuous, constantly eliminating the yellow scarves on the battlefield.
Under the brave fight of the Yellow Turban Warriors, he still protected Zhang Jiao and rushed out of the encirclement of the Han army.
At this time, Luo Gan, who had already seen the opportunity, rode a white horse and killed with Zhang Jiao, although in the end Zhang Jiao still killed Guangzong, but he was also swept away by Luo Gan with a shot and vomited blood.
In the middle of the night, the Han army won a complete victory. Of the more than 30,000 yellow turbans brought by Zhang Jiao, only more than 5,000 remnants escaped. More than 10,000 yellow turbans were killed directly on the battlefield. Thousands more surrendered, and the rest fled.
