Jizhou, Ganling State, and Sanzhang City are crumbling under the siege of the Yellow Turban.

Zhang Liang, who was in his thirties, sat crookedly on his horse, looked at the small city of Ganling Kingdom in the distance with disdain, beckoned lightly behind him, raised his chin forward, and said: "Tao Sheng, how many people do you need to bring down the small city in front of General Ben?" ”

Among the three brothers of the Zhang family, Zhang Liang is the youngest and the most unlearned, but now because of Zhang Jiao's Tiangong general, he is called the general of Rengong, and there are tens of thousands of believers under his command who rule Jizhou with his brother.

Behind Zhang Liang, a seven-foot man knelt on the ground and said, "The general and I can do it with 5,000 men." ”

"Five thousand?" Zhang Liang thought for a while, nodded and said, "Go, in three hours I will see King Ganling kneeling in your current position." ”

"Yes!"

After that, Tao Sheng turned around and went down, and the Yellow Turban army was quickly divided into two parts, one continued to besiege the city, and the other was a surging crowd under the leadership of Tao Sheng and frantically attacked the city.

Ganling State, the fief of Liu Zhong, a clan member of the Han family. The city is no more than three zhang, and the soldiers are no more than seven hundred.

"Your Majesty, you can't hold it, you can run out of the east gate with your subordinates."

The armored captain knelt on the ground and said to Liu Zong, the king of Ganling, who was sitting in the main hall: "The thieves are mainly attacking the west gate, and the east gate is slightly weakly defended. ”

"Captain Feng, rectify the sergeants and defend the city!" King Ganling waved his hand, got up and put on his military uniform by the maidservant, stretched out his arms and said: "The Yellow Turbans are just rebels, how can the widows avoid their edges?" The country is ruined, what is there to avoid in this world? Mobilize the people and fight to the death against the Yellow Turban traitors! ”

Under the city.

Tao Sheng shouted violently, and five thousand Yellow Turban believers rushed up the city wall full of ladders with weapons, braving the locust-like arrows of the defenders to climb up, and some people were hit by arrows and fell down with wailing, but they did not affect the believers around them at all, they had only one purpose, to attack the city.

Dead or alive, who cares?

Zhang Liang listened to the sound of fighting in his ears, staring at the movement of the Yellow Turban dead soldiers on the city wall, and suddenly he seemed to see something, his eyes widened, and he beckoned someone to come over and pointed to a lean young man on the city wall and asked, "Sun Qing, come here!" Look at that shirtless boy with a knife, what's his name? ”

Sun Qing, a big man with a beard on his face, frowned and glanced at the city, and the expression on his face was immediately replaced by surprise, now it is February, it is the time when it is warm and cold, I saw a seven-foot-tall young man with a yellow scarf around his neck walking up shirtless, holding a short knife in his mouth to flexibly avoid the arrows of the defenders at the head of the city, making various evasive actions on the ladder, and climbing up quickly.

"General, I don't know who the young man's surname is, maybe Tao Sheng will know." It is a very disrespectful act to talk to the general but not look at the general, but fortunately the general did not look at him at this moment, and the two of them looked intently at the young man who was about to climb the city.

I saw that the young man had a short knife in his mouth, and when he was still a few feet away from the battlements, he jumped up from the ladder, and his body was suddenly pulled up three feet high, and he didn't use a knife, and his hands fished out of the battlements, which seemed to be thin and weak, but the strength was great, Zhang Liang, who was staring at him, only felt that his eyes were flowering, and a scream came from the city tower, and the young man and the Han army on the battlements switched positions, and the defenders fell off the city wall, and the young man took off the short knife in the battlements and looked around left and right, and then ran towards the nearest Han army.

'What a talent. Zhang Liang secretly said in his heart, he has seen more warriors, just the thousands of yellow turban wrestlers that his eldest brother has poured his heart and soul into are all strong men who have opened a hundred catties of heavy bows, and most of the believers are poor people who beg for a living in the fields all the year round, and it is not surprising that they have great strength, but it is rare to see this young man who is young and agile and proficient in hand-to-hand combat at the head of the city.

Maybe he can't be called a man, the horns tied to the top of his head have been broken away, and his long hair is scattered over his shoulders, and he quickly swept over the battlements, or grabbed or dragged, or kicked or kicked, and the Han troops guarding the battlements fell from the city one after another, and the ladders built on the head of the city became undefended, and the believers of Taiping Dao climbed to the top of the city and slashed their enemies.

Ganling Kingdom, captured.

Zhang Liang smiled when King Ganling, whose armor was stained with blood, knelt in front of Zhang Liang, but he ignored King Ganling, and his eyes searched for the thin young man in the sea of people.

After finding it, Zhang Liang drove his horse to the young man who was squatting on the side of the road, hooked the corners of his mouth and asked, "Are you...... What's your name and what age is it? ”

The young man was leaning against the courtyard wall of a house and wiping the short knife, when he heard this, he raised his head and looked down on Zhang Liang's expression against the sun, only feeling that the man on the horse seemed to be laughing.

"General Hui, the kid's name is Chu Yan, and he is seventeen this year."

……

Jizhou, Anping State.

"The great sage and the good teacher and his three thousand yellow turban wrestlers are on their way to the widowed country, and they are waiting to be powerful and blessed on weekdays, why can't they say a word now?"

Liu Xu, the king of Anping, leaned against the pillars of the main hall in despair, and there were civil and military soldiers of the county standing in the hall, all bowing their heads and saying nothing.

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to lead the army to fight a bloody battle with the horned thieves!"

After a long silence, a man in armor came out of the ranks, attracting everyone's attention.

Liu Xu waved his hand weakly, shook his head and said, "Zhao Li, how many soldiers are there in the national capital?" ”

A man who looked like a scribe on the side stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, there are more than 400 people. ”

"Four hundred!" Liu Xu turned his head to the armored lieutenant and asked, "What are the four hundred people going to fight with?" How can it be only 400 people? ”

Hearing this, the lieutenant glared at Zhao Li angrily and said: "Back to the king, Zhao Like deducted the military salary, and the soldiers left if they couldn't eat. ”

Zhao Li said to Liu Xu: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that I can't fight for today's plan, it is better to open the city gate to welcome the great sage and good teacher, and you can save your life." ”

When Liu Xu heard this, a murderous intent flashed in his heart, and he glanced at Zhao Li and extinguished his anger again, this Zhao Li is a fake son who often serves Zhao Zhong.

Zhao Li is Zhao Zhong's fake son, and he is also the one who really holds the power of Anping State...... Anping is Zhao Zhong's hometown.

"That's it...... Open the city gate, and the widow went out of the city for ten miles to welcome the great sages and good teachers into the city. ”

Du Wei's eyes widened in disbelief, and he knelt on the ground and said, "Your Excellency! If the monarch surrenders without a fight, the court will cut off the Taiping Road in the future, and the monarch will be punished! Please think twice! ”

Liu Xu glanced at the lieutenant in disgust, waved his sleeves and shouted outside the hall: "Come on, drag him out for me!" ”

Two guards came in from outside the hall, grabbed the lieutenant and dragged him outside the hall, and the lieutenant still shouted: "Your Majesty, don't surrender!" Don't surrender! ”

Waving his hand, Liu Xu angrily pointed at the lieutenant and scolded: "Hang this person on the city tower!" Tell the people, open the gates of the city to welcome the great sages! ”
