Chapter 53: The Situation and the Rupture
Ten days have passed since the day Zhang Bao died, and in the past few days when Zhou Yukun and the three of them have been cultivating, a lot of big things have happened in the outside world.
The Yellow Turban Army, which had been cowering in Jizhou, suddenly launched a full-scale attack for some reason, and Zhang Jiao, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, led many troops to encounter Guo Chengyan's army in the west of Jizhou head-on, and fought an earth-shattering battle. The outcome of the battle was exciting, Guo Chengyan's army was victorious, and many of the Yellow Turban Army generals were captured and killed, but Zhang Jiao, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, eventually led some of his men to escape.
On the other hand, Chen Weimin's army, which was wandering around the country, encountered Zhang Liang, the third leader of the Yellow Turban Army, and launched the third major battle on the battlefield. In the end, it also ended with the victory of Chen Weimin's army, and Zhang Liang was beheaded by his horse.
As a result, the three leaders of the Yellow Turban Army, the eldest Zhang Jiao fled, the second Zhang Bao died in the hands of Zhou Yukun, the third Zhang Liang was killed by Chen Weimin's three brothers, and the rest of the generals of the Yellow Turban Army also died and surrendered.
As a result, the once rampant Yellow Turban Army was wiped out in such a short period of time. For some reason, Zhou Yukun, who knew the news, always had a feeling of being a tiger, and he always felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed. You know, the Yellow Turban Army once performed the feat of defeating 50,000 people with 500 men, why did we use only such a small army, but we were able to achieve victory so easily? This seems very unreasonable!
Could it be that this matter is also related to the reincarnation that Zhang Bao once mentioned? Did they make the Yellow Turbans crush? Thinking of this, Zhou Yukun couldn't help but sigh lightly, if he hadn't started too hard at the beginning, he would probably have asked something from Zhang Bao's mouth. Alas, it's a pity that it's too late to say anything now, but fortunately, another clue has been added - Sima Hui, as long as you find this person, you should be able to find out something.
"Ahem, Brother Yukun sighed like this, is there anything to build yƬ?" Du Yong coughed lightly and woke Zhou Yukun up from his contemplation.
"Ah, oh, no, no, go ahead." Zhou Yukun hurriedly waved his hand again and again, and he only remembered now that he was still in the meeting hall in Chen Liucheng.
Seeing that Zhou Yukun had nothing to say, Du Yong continued to say to the other people in the hall: "The information about the battle situation is almost like this, and it is good news in general. However, there is one more thing that has not discouraged me to this day. Do you remember Hu Zhen, who parted ways with us before? Hmph, this guy is really not a simple person, and he actually played tricks on us behind our backs. ā
Hearing this, a middle-aged man with a goatee beside Du Yong frowned and asked, "Big brother, what the hell is going on, didn't he separate because of a disagreement with us?" Could it be that he still wants to get a piece of the pie for our work this time? ā
Du Yong sneered and snorted angrily: "He doesn't just want to get a piece of the pie, he wants to directly snatch all the credit." Didn't he mention it before, saying that he wanted to re-establish a government in Chang'an City? Now it's good that we made him a wedding dress for this victory. He even directly issued a proclamation throughout the country, lavishing the victories of our three armies, and also praised our courage in front-line battles, all of which were peerless wise generals, and asked us to return to Chang'an City to be rewarded. ā
Well? Doesn't that seem to be a big deal? Zhou Yukun didn't understand why Du Yong was so angry. But then the goatee man's words solved his puzzles!
"What? This Hu Zhen actually used this kind of yin trick, if we really go back to Chang'an City to accept the reward as he said, wouldn't it be to admit that they are our top bosses? You must know that he did not participate in this battle at all, it was all fought by our brothers! No, we can't let them go so simply, we must go to Chang'an City and teach this guy a good lesson. ā
Du Yong's face was gloomy, and he said coldly: "Of course, we will definitely not let go of this Hu Zhen, but not now." We have just ended the war, and the losses are not small, but he Hu Zhen has no losses at all, and if we go to him now, we will definitely wipe out the whole army. What's more, he's now joined forces with the rest of the guys, and I guess they're already proudly dividing up their territory right now! ā
"Then, what should we do next, we can't let him Hu Zhen command us, right?"
"How could it be. But now I'd like to thank this guy, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have known how I would have broken with my sworn brother. I think that now Guo Chengyan has no intention of returning to Chang'an at all, but is ready to directly occupy the territory of the Yellow Turban Army. So, of course, we can't go back, after all, how can the meat that has already been handed over to someone else? ā
Zhou Yukun's eyes were slightly shocked, he already understood what Du Yong meant, since Guo Chengyan occupied Jizhou, Youzhou and Qingzhou in the north, then he Du Yong could also occupy Yanzhou, Yuzhou and Xuzhou, where he is now.
In this way, it also represents a complete break between Du Yong and Guo Chengyan, and they will be hostile forces to each other in the future. Although he had known for a long time that the two were not of the same mind, Zhou Yukun didn't expect them to break up so completely, and he didn't think about the old relationship at all.
So, was it the right choice to choose to follow Du Yong in the first place? Because even if he doesn't admit it, others must regard him as Du Yong's subordinate.
"Okay, it's decided, Hu Zhen's bullshit order just ignored it. Our top priority now is to clean up the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army in the nearby cities of Yuzhou and Xuzhou. In this way, Zeng Jie, you lead a thousand men to guard in the north and guard against the armies of Guo Chengyan and Hu Zhen. ā
Zeng Jie is the name of the goatee man. "I see, what if a messenger comes?"
Du Yong frowned slightly, and finally sighed: "Let me go, let me hear what they can say." After speaking, he turned his head to look at Zhou Yukun next to him: "Brother Yukun, I was really surprised to hear that you solved Zhang Bao's matter before!" However, the hero is a teenager, and when I first saw you, I thought you must be a talent, and now it seems that it is not surprising! ā
"Brother Du, you have won the prize, this time we were able to kill Zhang Bao, it was completely lucky. And the credit for this time is not mine, thanks to the help of Lu Cheng and Lin Zhong. Zhou Yukun said modestly.
When Du Yong heard this, he waved his hand: "You don't have to be so modest, I already know the situation at that time." You see, I'm a small force now, just ask me if you have any requests, and I'll do my best to help you do it. ā
When Zhou Yukun heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, so he asked directly: "Brother Du, can you please help me find someone?" ā
"Oh?" Du Yong asked with some surprise: "Who are you looking for?" ā
"Sima Hui, I want to find someone named Sima Hui, do you know him?" Zhou Yukun hurriedly asked the question he was most concerned about now, this was the only information Zhang Bao left before he died, if he could get any useful information from Du Yong, it would be perfect!
