Chapter 138: Seeing the Enemy

Mobile warfare, looting for a living, after the Yellow Turban Army entered the city, it swept all targets like locusts, killing, arson, robbing, ***** doing all kinds of evil, lawlessness, the originally prosperous and rich Julu City, immediately became a hell!

As for the people in the city, the young woman has become the plaything of the big and small leaders, arbitrary ****, life is better than death, the fate of others is even worse, the old, weak, sick and disabled, all killed, strong men are incorporated into the team, become a new member of the Yellow Turban Army, follow the team to plunder the Quartet, and then go to plague other people's hometowns!

"Immediately send people to guard the treasury, strictly prohibit anyone from entering and leaving, and there will be indiscriminate arsonists in all departments - there will be no mercy!"

After entering the city, Zhang Yan immediately took control of the grain depot, for fear that his subordinates would have too much fun and burn it clean with a fire, such a stupid thing has not been done, without the replenishment of materials and grain and grass, hundreds of thousands of horses can only drink the northwest wind!

As for the 'good deeds' that his subordinates are doing, Zhang Yan can only open one eye and close one eye, not because he doesn't want to restrain his subordinates, but because he has more than enough strength to break the city and plunder, since ancient times, if anyone blocks the opportunity to mess with the army and wealth, the swords and guns in their hands don't recognize people!

Different from those unscrupulous Yellow Turban leaders, Zhang Yan is a person with ideals, he has followed his master Zhang Jiao since he was a child, traveled all over the world, scattered talisman water, cured diseases and saved people, and saw too much suffering in the world, therefore, the master and apprentice recruited believers, trying to establish a country where everyone has the same land, the same kind of money, and everyone lives and works in peace and contentment!

For more than ten years, Zhang Yan has been running around, constantly leading believers to do things, wanting to overthrow the Han dynasty and return the people of the world to a peaceful and prosperous world, but unfortunately, things backfired, and everywhere the Yellow Turban Army went, it did not bring peace of life, but boundless suffering, corpses piled up like mountains, blood flowed like rivers, and the people did not survive......

Zhang Yan also asked herself, the purpose of the Taiping Dao is to lead believers into heaven, but as a result, it pushed them into the Abi Hell, is it wrong to say that he is wrong, is the teacher's teachings wrong, and who can give himself an answer?

With countless questions, I came to the front of the Taishou Mansion, this is the last place where the officers and soldiers held, the Yellow Turban Army killed and wounded thousands of people and horses, and then broke through here, the fierce battle has just ended, the stumps and intestines are broken, scattered everywhere, mixed with blood that has not coagulated, and exudes a disgusting smell!

Not a single prisoner was caught, the officers and soldiers resisted to the end, the whole army was annihilated, no life was left, Julu Taishou himself was dressed neatly, his waist was tied with an official seal, he committed suicide by hanging a beam in the lobby, his face was hideous, and he didn't blink to death, as for his relatives, they all jumped into the well of the back house, full of old and young, all martyred!

"Besieged by a strong enemy, stick to it, do his duty loyally, and die in the city, he is also a good official, put it down, prepare some good coffins, and bury their whole family!"

After an inspection, Zhang Yan felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart, if he wanted to create a regime, he must get the support of scholars, when Han Gaozu - Liu Bang 'died Qin in three years, and destroyed Chu in five years', relying on Xiao He, Zhang Liang, Han Xin, Peng Yue, and this is the great cause of the emperor!

In terms of force, there is no shortage of fierce people in the Yellow Turban Army, and the strategists are too far behind, since the incident, Zhang Yan has broken through many cities, and there is not a single official who surrendered, and he committed suicide with all his integrity, and the cowardly escaped, even if he was captured, he would rather be beheaded than surrender!

If you want to fight the world, you must have the help of scribes, since the other party is unwilling to submit, then cultivate it yourself, after conquering Zhongshan County, Zhang Yan spent a lot of effort to find fifteen scholars from the people, and sent generous gifts, and drew swords to threaten, so that they could get into the camp, divide the official seal, let them serve as county commanders in various places, govern the people's livelihood, and make a base for the Yellow Turban Army!

As a result, fifteen scholars went to work, and within half a month, ten of them ran away, and the remaining five who did not run away all committed suicide, leaving only a pair of white silk with four blood words on it - 'Death is not a thief!' ’

Death is not a thief - these four words poke Zhang Yan's heart, no matter how he whitewashes his identity, no matter how polite and virtuous he is, in the eyes of scholars, the Yellow Turban Army will always be a thief, who can only cause chaos to the people, but cannot govern the world!

However, even if there is no way forward, you have to fight bravely, because once you stop and don't need to do it with the hands of the officials and soldiers, hundreds of thousands of subordinates will tear themselves to pieces!

"Pass the order down, build the altar, prepare the tribute, this general wants to sacrifice to the Yellow Sky, officially take over as the 'Tiangong General', order the Quartet, and plot great things!"

Zhang Yan thought about it for a while, if he conquered Julu City, he would be qualified to inherit the title of teacher, only in this way could he gather the rest of the Yellow Turbans, and then strengthen his strength and fight to the death with the official army!

In the first year of Jian'an, on December 12, Zhang Yan conquered Julu, officially played the banner of 'General Tiangong', gathered his troops, and rose again.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Julu lost, Jizhou shook, after learning the situation, the army that came to the rescue immediately stopped, the commander Zhang He beat the drum to gather the generals, gathered everyone to discuss countermeasures, the city has fallen, where should they go with this support army?

"Boom! …… Boom! Boom! ”

The military situation is like fire, the war drums are like thunder, the generals of the various departments do not dare to slack off, and immediately go to the big tent of the Chinese army, and the meeting is attended by the chief general Zhang He, the deputy general Jiang Qi, the superintendent Yuan Shang, Liu Guanzhang three brothers, ......, and more than 100 generals and colonels, according to the level of their official positions, divided into two teams in the big tent!

Zhen Mi, as the 'fifth son', also participated in the meeting, and also got a soft couch, sitting very close to the handsome position, with meat and wine, very moisturizing, as for Xiao Yi, in order to prevent the disclosure of his identity, he had to mask his face with black veil, mixed in with a large group of guards, and peeked into the tent while rubbing his cold hands against the gusts of cold wind!

"Generals, the giant deer has fallen into the hands of thieves, the rescue has failed, where will the 100,000 horses go, do you have a good plan?"

Zhang He wore armor on his head, held a sword, sat upright like a mountain, still maintained the prestige of a commander, spoke neither fast nor slow, and did not mean to panic at all!

"The giant deer is lost, the door is open, the thieves will inevitably go south, we should collect the troops and go back, help the general to hold Yecheng, and then contact the soldiers and horses of Qing, You, and Sanzhou, and join forces inside and outside, and exterminate the Yellow Turban thieves in one fell swoop!"

Jiang Qi was the first to stand up, advocating that the whole army retreat, stick to it and wait for reinforcements, with their 100,000 horses, plus the original garrison of Yecheng, it is difficult to repel the enemy army, and it is foolproof to hold the city, which can be called a relatively safe strategy!

"By all means, the thieves captured the giant deer, the army was arrogant, taking advantage of its unpreparedness, our army attacked in a big way, and it will be a complete victory, so the thieves can retreat, the giant deer can be restored, and Yecheng will be safe!

If we retreat, the thieves will come to chase after us, in the south of Jizhou, there is no danger to defend, even if you want to retreat to Yecheng, I'm afraid it's impossible! ”

Liu Bei also stood up, advocating attacking instead of defending, and fighting to the death with the Yellow Turban Army, and the reason is also very good, it seems that during the period of dormancy in Yecheng, 'Big Ear Ah Fu' also learned some art of war!

One main attack, the other main retreat, two completely different opinions appeared, and each had its own reason, the colonels looked at each other, first bowed their heads in contemplation, then whispered, and finally quarreled loudly......

Yecheng is the Hebei Governance Office, and our wives and children are all in the city, so we must not lose anything, and it is better to return to the army to rescue! “

"It's easy to say, hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban troops are in front of us, once we turn around and retreat, people will inevitably cover up and kill later, who will cut off the whole army, and can they stop it?"

"What can I do if I don't retreat, the enemy is outnumbered, the difference in strength is huge, if it is a field battle on the plains, I am afraid that there will be no scum left for the Yellow Turban Army to eat......"

"Man, big husband, dying on the battlefield is better than being a deserter, besides, even if we defend Yecheng, what will the rest of the counties do, let the Yellow Turban thieves ravage?"

…………………………………………………………

Hundreds of generals and colonels have formed two factions, each holding on to their own words, not giving in to each other, quarreling in the big tent, no one can convince anyone, but there are thousands of families, and the main person is one, whether it is a battle or a retreat, it depends on the decision of the main general!

On the handsome position, Zhang He held the sword in his hand, sneered and said nothing, as the commander of the army, he already had a plan in his heart, so in the big tent, he wanted to check the attitude of his subordinates, to see who is a warrior who is not afraid of death, dares to fight and kill, and who is a timid and unbearable waste!

As the saying goes, 'know yourself and know your opponent, win all battles', only by figuring out the internal situation, can you divide the troops and send generals, but before making a decision, there is a 'stumbling block' that must be kicked away, otherwise it will inevitably be bad, thinking of this, Zhang He's eyes turned and stared at Yuan Shang, the supervising army......

"The military situation is like fire, it is urgent, it is difficult for the general to decide, the third prince is wise and brave, and as a prison army, he must have a good plan in his heart, and please give me one or two ......"

"Is this a big deal, and this son has to plan it too, right...... What if something goes wrong...... Right? ”

Yuan Shang is a straw bag with a false appearance, this time he took the position of supervising the army, but he just wanted to mix up some credit, Zhang He suddenly pushed the decision-making power over, and he was immediately frightened, and he couldn't say a whole sentence for a long time!

The master is in difficulty, the strategist helps, and in the crowd of customers behind him, a tall young man slowly walked out, his face is like a crown of jade, long and fluttering, especially a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, between the turns, the charm is exposed--it is the Zimu boy who has not shown up for a long time!

Since poisoning Yuan Shu and grabbing the fake jade seal, Zimu Gongzi has defected to Yuan Shao's command, hibernated in Yecheng, peeped at the situation, and wanted to use the power of the Hebei Group to avenge himself.

Anyway, he was also born as a prince of the Shi clan, with a set of skills to eat, drink and have fun, coupled with the technique of flattering and patting horses, Zimu Gongzi quickly won the favor of Yuan's father and son, and then became a doorman under Yuan Shang, following left and right, very close!

Now seeing that his master was in trouble, Zimu Gongzi immediately leaned over, stretched out a finger, and secretly wrote a word on Yuan Shang's back - 'Sick!' ’

"Oops! …… It hurts me to death, and my son is unwell, so he will retire for the time being...... The affairs of the army have been handed over to the generals! ”

Yuan Shang didn't have great wisdom, but he was clever, and immediately understood, stretched out his hand and pinched his thigh, took advantage of the situation to wail, pretending to be suddenly sick, and the surrounding doormen immediately hugged him, lifted the third prince and left, and ran out of the big tent with a smoke......

The stumbling block kicked away, Zhang He sneered a few times, pulled out his sword in his hand, and began to divide the troops and send generals: "The decisive battle on the battlefield, there is no advance or retreat, tomorrow the third watch cooks, the fifth watch out, the whole army marches lightly, goes straight to Julu City, and fights to the death with the Yellow Turban thieves!" ”

"No! --Fight to the death, no victory! ”

The main general decided to go to war, and no one else dared to say anything more, so they all stood up and clenched their fists to obey the order!

………………………………………………………………………………

Outside the big tent, Xiao Yi has been carefully monitoring the people, seeing Zhang He's ability to command people, he can't help but admire for a while, brave and strategic, decisive at the moment, not a loss of the talent of a general, compared to the brave and unscrupulous Yan Liang, Wen Chou, more than a hundred times stronger, if Yuan Shao had used this person earlier, the battle of Xiliang has not yet known?

As for Yuan Shang, a playboy, killing it will only dirty a place, but keeping it will be of great use, just with his ability to lose, Yuan Shao will disappear no matter how big the foundation is, so this person can't be killed, but he has to push it up and let him climb higher!

Between thoughts, Xiao Yi's eyes swept around, and he suddenly saw a handsome little white face, as well as a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes-Zimu Gongzi!

For several years, Xiao Yichao has been thinking about this person and avenging the villagers of Crouching Tiger Pavilion, but for a long time, there has been no news, and he never thought that the enemy would appear in front of him!

"Crunch! --Crunch! ”

The steel teeth were clenched, the iron fists were clenched, Xiao Yi used his strong willpower to suppress the flame of revenge in his heart, "This person will definitely die, but now is not the time, once he startles the snake, he will ruin his plan, for the sake of the world, personal grievances can only be endured for a while......"

After a long while, Xiao Yi finally suppressed the anger in his heart, and then felt that his mouth was slightly sweet, and his lips were slightly painful......

"Hiss! …… Don't worry, one day, you will definitely drink the blood of the enemy, cut with a thousand knives, and sacrifice to the heroic soul! Xiao Yi stretched out his tongue, licked the bloodshot on his lips, and touched his nose again, the taste of revenge is really sweet!
