Chapter 58: The Yellow Turban's Reaction

“…… That's all you ask? ”

At the same time that Li Qin, Huangfu Song and others analyzed their calculations and made a plan to continue to confront the Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Jiao and Zhang Sheng also calmly listened to the report brought by the messenger who had already sobered up in the big tent under Guangzong City. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Just sent a letter, and actually dragged on for a whole day, which made Zhang Sheng very puzzled. He was still a little worried in his heart: "Although the two countries will not fight each other...... But after all, we are anti-thieves in the eyes of the officials and soldiers. With the dick nature of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun's group of ruthless people, will they ......?"

Zhang Sheng guessed in his heart, but this is also an answer.

After all, if Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun made such a choice, it would prove that they were angry in their hearts. In this way, it is inevitable that they will quickly engage themselves.

"Maybe that's it......" Zhang Sheng guessed.

But no, the Messenger returned safely. He honestly came to Zhang Sheng and reported the unexpected news to him.

"They actually feasted you...... This was so unexpected. Zhang Sheng's face was full of shock.

His mostly muscular head couldn't figure out what the hell was going on. So he decisively took the messenger to find Zhang Jiao and reported this strange matter to Zhang Jiao.

So, there was the doubt about the corner above.

It's really weird. This matter is extraordinary from beginning to end - when did the officers and soldiers ask about the thief so amiably? Especially this kind of inquiry, it turned out to be from the mouth of Huangfu Song, who killed the Yellow Turban Army the most ruthlessly.

Such unimaginable things are tangled together, although Zhang Jiao is not a far-reaching resource, he still feels the existence of some kind of conspiracy from it.

At that moment, he began to ponder, he never believed it, Huangfu Song's side was just gossiping. After all, time, identity, and people will not be numbered.

"Maybe Huangfu Song wants to spy on our army's intelligence? In this way, he would be able to explain it by giving the messenger a feast. Zhang Jiao suddenly thought of this.

It's just that since Huangfu Song wants to spy on the intelligence in the army, why does he ask so many irrelevant things?

Zhang Jiao couldn't figure this out, and his brows furrowed tightly.

He pondered quietly, and saw in a trance that someone came to find Zhang Sheng. Zhang Sheng confessed to Zhang Jiao, and Zhang Jiao waved his hand lightly and asked him to go out first. A moment later, Zhang Sheng returned, frowning with sorrow.

"What's going on?" This sorrow was seen by Zhang Jiao, which made him a little puzzled: "Is there a problem in the army?" Zhang Jiao asked.

He didn't know much about things in the army, and the news he knew was a bit outdated. After all, he handed over many things to Zhang Sheng to be responsible.

"The grain officer came to report that the grain and grass in the army were already a little nervous. The stock of grain is only enough to eat for half a month. Faced with Zhang Jiao's question, Zhang Sheng answered honestly.

"Grain and grass? Didn't you send someone to collect it? Zhang Jiao asked rhetorically.

Collecting grain and grass, this is what the Yellow Turban Army has always done. The Yellow Turbans' food and grass were obtained through various "collections".

"Sent...... However, some time ago, the cavalry of the official army was raging, and the men and horses we sent out were all killed by the officers and soldiers. Now that the soldiers of the county governments have been strengthened, it has become difficult to break down the city, and the collection work has become difficult to do. Zhang Sheng sighed and complained.

"That's the case......" Zhang Jiao nodded silently, and then his eyes widened, and an astonishing momentum erupted: "I understand why they asked that!" ”

"What?" Zhang Sheng was a little puzzled by this.

"It's those weird questions that Huangfu Song asked." Zhang Jiao said in a deep voice: "They are already estimating the shortage of food and grass in our army. ”

"How is this possible?" Zhang Sheng still didn't believe it.

"How could it not be? See the big in the small...... If we can't even guarantee the supply of meat for the leaders of the army, wouldn't the food supply of ordinary soldiers be even more problematic? The other party guessed this, so he asked about the temptation. They wanted to make sure their guess was right. Zhang Jiao sighed.

"It's really cunning...... "Resourcefulness, many times you will have a feeling of sudden realization when you say that others have broken it, and Zhang Sheng is no exception.

Although he is not outstanding in terms of intelligence, he has the level of an ordinary person after all.

At this time, as soon as he listened to Zhang Jiao's explanation, he quickly understood the doorway. But to understand it, the twists and turns of the doorway here are too winding, and Zhang Sheng feels a headache when he thinks about it.

"There are capable people in the officers and soldiers!" Zhang Jiao sighed.

It is a fact that there are few talents in the Yellow Turban Army. Although Zhang Jiao planned for more than 20 years and established a huge Taiping Road, most of the people in this Taiping Road were poor, not to mention the literati with ability, and there were very few people who could even read a few words.

It can be said that in terms of wisdom and tactics, the asymmetry of talent and intelligence on both sides made the Yellow Turban Army calculated to death by the officials and soldiers at the beginning. From the defeat of attacking the states and counties, to the fire of the Yingchuan Chosha. It can be said that Zhang Jiao's good plan at the beginning was completely ruined by the ineffective execution of his subordinates.

"I'm still thinking too simply...... But there's no turning back. I'm going to have to bite the bullet, and I'm going to have to take the lives of most of the people here anyway. Zhang Jiao sighed, his eyes full of perseverance.

The problem is laid out, and the next natural thing is how to solve it.

If it is on the side of the official army, there may be many ways to solve this problem, such as buying and selling, mobilization, and ...... and so on. However, the Yellow Turban Army is not an official army, and they are used to "collecting" grain and grass, and they cannot change their policy for a while.

Zhang Jiao, who was not in a hurry, had no better solution to the problem, so he could only instruct Zhang Sheng: "Organize a larger grain collection team!" The army is about to conquer, and the grain and grass must be guaranteed no matter what. In addition......"

Zhang Jiao paused slightly, and seemed to hesitate, but the words quickly continued: "Let's raise another altar in the camp." In order to defeat the official army, I had to do it again. ”

"But, Master, your body ......" Hearing Zhang Jiao say this, Zhang Sheng suddenly became a little anxious.

He looked at Zhang Jiao with concern, his face revealing his true feelings. In the Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Jiao was their spiritual pillar, and Zhang Sheng couldn't imagine what would happen if Zhang Jiao fell. Especially since he already knew the fact that Zhang Jiao's body was getting worse day by day after the last spell cast, it was obvious that the backlash brought to him by the last spell was too great.

"If you could...... I really don't want the master to be casting spells. Zhang Sheng was worried.

"It's okay......" Zhang Jiao gently patted Zhang Sheng's shoulder, "I can still bear it." The most important thing is to defeat the official army at the moment. If we don't defeat Huangfu Song's line, we have no future to speak of. ”

Zhang Jiao's words were faint, but they were sonorous and powerful.

Zhang Sheng shook his head helplessly when he heard this, and finally could only accept it. He quickly went out and made arrangements.

According to their own strategy, the Yellow Turban Army began to get busy.

At dawn the next day, two teams of about 20,000 men each were ready to go out in the camp under the city of Guangzong.

Zhang Sheng gave them the task of collecting the grain and grass that was lacking in the camp. Because considering the strong defense of local interests of the officials and the army, Zhang Sheng also specially told them: "Everything must be careful." Along the road, you can fight the city, and if you can't, you can stay away from the city. We want food...... The officers and soldiers were able to defend the city, but they paid less attention to the territories of the wealthy families in the dock fort outside the city. It's almost September now, and it's still okay for us to grab a handful. ”

"No!" Zhang Sheng's face and prestige are still very effective in the Yellow Turban Army. Zhang Jiao handed over the affairs of the army to him early on, because in response to his advice, the people who were preparing to go on the expedition did not have any objections. They all bowed to Zhang Sheng and bowed down to receive the order.

Immediately they set out, leaving the camp and marching west and north.

In order to respond to them, Zhang Sheng personally led more than 60,000 people to the Huangfu Songyuan Gate to shout and scold, trying to stimulate the Huangfu Song to come out and fight with him.

The official army led by Huangfu Song had already made up their minds to confront the Yellow Turban Army, so where would they have intended to confront Zhang Sheng at this time.

No matter how fierce Zhang Sheng shouted outside the gate, Huangfu Song was calm. He ordered his soldiers to ignore Zhang Sheng's scolding, and only shoot him with a strong bow and crossbow when Zhang Sheng approached the camp too much, so as to ensure the safety of his camp.

In this way, Huangfu Song concentrated on being a turtle. Zhang Sheng tried to take advantage of the opportunity to raid several times, but he returned in vain under the bows and arrows of the sergeants under the command of Huangfu Song. Zhang Sheng knew what Huangfu Song meant, so he didn't care about it at the moment, and after dropping nearly a hundred corpses, he retreated in disdain. When he returned to his camp, he received news that the two food armies in the camp had been safely on the road.

"They didn't get the attention of the officers and soldiers?" After Zhang Sheng told Zhang Jiao the news, Zhang Jiao asked with great concern.

"Of course not!" Zhang Sheng nodded heavily: "I put pressure on the Huangfu Song camp. The energy of Huangfu Song and the others was all focused on how to deal with me. They're afraid they don't have the energy to pay attention to that. Perhaps now a spy has come back to tell him the news of the departure of these two armies, but he can no longer stop us. ”

"Well, that's right!" Zhang Jiao nodded at this. Zhang Jiao is still very satisfied with what Zhang Sheng has done. Since Zhang Sheng guaranteed this, Zhang Jiao naturally wouldn't ask anything.

"I'll leave this matter to you!" Zhang Jiao said. When he said this, his face suddenly turned red, and an inexplicable feeling of vomiting arose. Zhang Jiao didn't want to talk to Zhang Sheng at the moment, so he hurriedly broke Zhang Sheng away. Then a mouthful of "Wow ......" spewed out, but it was blood droplets flying all over the sky, filling the huge camp tent with the smell of blood.
