- Wancheng

At the same time that Ma Qiang killed Zhang Bao, the combined army of nearly 20,000 people of Zhu Jun and Nanyang County Taishou Qin Jie and Jingzhou Assassin Shi Xu Xuan launched another assault on Wancheng.

This time, the pioneer is still Sun Jian, who already has the title of Jiangdong Tiger.

Wancheng gathered nearly 200,000 Yellow Turban troops, but there were very few people who could fight, most of them were farmers, old and weak women and children, and they were not the elite opponents led by Sun Jian at all.

I saw that Sun Jian, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Zu Mao gathered together like a spearhead, piercing one yellow turban army formation after another.

"That Han general, Hugh is rampant! Can you recognize the divine envoy Zhang Mancheng? ”

When Sun Jian saw Zhang Mancheng, he immediately shouted with joy: "This is the time for me to make meritorious contributions!" Holding a long lance, Zhang Mancheng had a steel spear in his hand, and the two of them were killed.

Zhang Mancheng has a lot of generals under his command, and he wants to step forward to attack, but he is stopped by Cheng Pu and others one by one.

Seeing that Sun Jian's offensive was blocked, Zhu Jun immediately asked Qin Jie and Xu Xuan to lead the army to outflank them from the left and right flanks, and he led the main force to join Sun Jian's battle group.

The Han army was much stronger than the Yellow Turban Army in terms of training and equipment, and Zhang Mancheng's just gained advantage was gradually pulled back by Zhu Jun.

Zhang Mancheng was anxious, he made a false move, and wanted to get out to command, where was Sun Jian willing to let go, seeing that Zhang Mancheng wanted to run, he pulled out his ancient ingot knife, flew towards Zhang Mancheng, and shouted in his mouth, "The thief will look at the knife!" ”

Zhang Mancheng's first reaction was that someone wanted to cut himself with a knife, and he immediately turned around and wanted to block, but he saw a spinning and flying knife, what kind of way is this?

Before Zhang Mancheng could figure it out, the ancient ingot knife was inserted into his chest, and he didn't know what material this knife was made of, and the two-layer armor Zhang Mancheng wore couldn't stop the knife at all, and it was directly pierced, Zhang Mancheng fell down and dismounted with a wail.

"Wan Sheng! Wansheng!! ”

Seeing Sun Jian raise Zhang Mancheng's head, the Han army immediately cheered, and the morale of the Yellow Turban Army suddenly leaked and began to rout.

When Zhu Jun saw this scene, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, feeling that Wancheng could finally be taken.

But before Zhu Jun could finish his breath, an amazing scene appeared.

I saw that the Yellow Turban Army unloaded the banner of the general of Zhang and raised the flag of the general of Zhao again.

Then, the Yellow Turban Army, whose morale had just dropped, didn't know why, once again boosted their morale and fought back against the Han army.

encountered such an abnormal scene, Sun Jian and the others didn't know what was going on, and panicked.

Zhu Jun saw that under the continuous counter-killing of the Yellow Turban Army, he actually faintly had the intention of counter-encircling the Han army, and hurriedly ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, and he took his personal guards to suppress the formation.

Because of Zhu Jun's suppression, the Han army was all elite, but it was retreating but not chaotic, and the Yellow Turban Army saw that the Han army was retreating, and they slowly retreated.

——

"What the hell is going on? Why was Zhang Mancheng killed, but the morale of the thief army did not drop but rose? Could it be that I killed the fake Zhang Mancheng? ”

As soon as Sun Jian entered the big tent, he angrily threw his head in his pocket.

It's a great achievement, but it's gone.

Zhu Jun looked at Qin Jie and Xu Xuan, and asked puzzledly, "I don't know what the two of you know?" ”

Qin Jie sighed, "If my guess is correct, then the Zhao character general should be Zhao Hong, second only to Zhang Mancheng in Wancheng." ”

"Why is the Wancheng thief army so tenacious? It's very different from other places. Sun Jian felt that the Yellow Turban Army in Wancheng was much more difficult to fight than the Changshe's, and the Yellow Turban Army in the Changshe would have collapsed long ago when they encountered such a situation, but Wancheng's seemed to be afraid of them no matter how many people died, but they became more and more courageous.

Qin Jie and Xu Xuan glanced at each other, but they were full of helplessness and a trace of contempt.

This Sun Jian, after all, is not from our family.

There are countless families in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but if you really want to talk about it, most of the families are gathered in three places.

These three places are Yingchuan, Nanyang and Runan.

It can be said that these three places are the three places where land annexation is the most serious, and they are also the three places where ordinary people live the most painfully.

Later, Zhuge Liang said that the minister was clothed and cultivated in Nanyang, which was modest, but it can also be seen from the side that Zhuge Liang was not rich in Nanyang, he could marry the daughter of the Huang family at that time, and the eldest brother was still an official in Dongwu, but he lived like this, in fact, to put it bluntly, Nanyang really has no spare land for you to buy a child of a foreign scholar.

It was Nanyang, which had gone through many years of war.

Sun Jian's background is actually not even a poor family, and the land annexation situation in Jiangdong is compared with here, that is, the tun chief saw the captain, which was several levels worse, Sun Jian couldn't understand how firm the people's will to rebel in the land of Nanyang was, for the sake of the peaceful world in their hearts, they could really fight to the end.

Zhu Jun is also from a poor family, but he has experienced much more than Sun Jian, he quickly understood, and even more understood that this battle can no longer be won by killing a thief.

This battle will be a protracted battle.

While reporting the battle report to Luoyang, Zhu Jun began to repair the camp and prepare to trap the Yellow Turban Army in Wancheng.

- Luoyang

"Your Majesty, then Lu Zhi and Zhu Jun have been attacking the thief army for a long time, I'm afraid they have the heart to raise their own self-respect."

In the court, Feng Yu was saying that Liu Hong should pay attention to Lu Zhi and Zhu Jun's actions of besieging and not attacking for a long time, while the ministers below looked at each other.

This is another tentative attack by the eunuchs.

Everyone knows that Taiping Dao is now a grasshopper after the autumn, and it can't grow anymore, don't look at Lu Zhi and Zhu Jun can't beat Guangzong and Wancheng for a long time, but the siege has been completed, to put it mildly, as long as it can be held, it is to let a pig sit in the coach, and it can also get the great merit of quelling the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

The eunuch is trying to steal the credit!

Sikong Zhang Wen came out and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen heard that in the past, Qin Yongbai Qi, Yan Ren Leyi, all of them have been absent for many years, and they can defeat the enemy. Now Zhu Jun and Lu Zhi are fighting against Yingchuan and Wei County, all of which have efficacy, and the strategy of leveling thieves has been prepared, not to mention that since ancient times, the army has changed generals, and it is a taboo for soldiers, and please ask Your Majesty to give the second general time, let them make meritorious contributions, sweep away the thieves, and return the peace of the Han Dynasty! ”

Liu Hong nodded, indeed, although he didn't want the scholars to get all the military merits, Zhang Rang's reason was really a little untenable.

Xu Feng saw Liu Hong nodding, and his heart was very anxious, if Lu Zhi and Zhu Jun could not be replaced, then the great virtuous and good teacher would be really dangerous.

Xu Feng hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, even so, you can't give them time indefinitely, this money and food..."

Speaking of money and food, Liu Hong was moved, indeed, the money in his West Garden was about to run out, if this group of ministers deliberately consumed it, and wanted to wait until he ran out of money to kill Zhang Jiao, wouldn't he become a big wrongdoer.

But you can't replace these two people for no reason, otherwise you won't be a faint king.

If the ministers below can hear Liu Hong's heart, they will definitely complain, and you will know that you are a faint king.

Zhang Rang saw that Feng Yu and the two of them couldn't persuade Liu Hong for a long time, and he felt a little disdainful in his heart, and stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, it's better to send Xiaohuangmen to the two places to raise the army, first, the army has been fighting for half a year, the army is tired, and you need Your Majesty to be relieved, and secondly, you can also know the truth of the front line, so as to prevent what is really going on that the court does not know." ”

When Liu Hong heard it, yes, this is okay!

At that moment, an order was issued to order Xiaohuangmen Zuofeng to go to Guangzong to raise the army, and Xiaohuangmen Lu Zhong to go to Wancheng to raise the army.
