Giant deer. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Yellow Turban Camp.

Zhang Jiao was staring at the map. Due to the recent crackdown by the official army, the yellow turbans could not continue to open the road. The main force of the official army was surrounded all the way to Changshe, and confronted Zhang Jiao all the way in Jizhou. Although the officers and troops could not help the Yellow Turbans, Zhang Jiao found that the situation had slowly turned against the Yellow Turbans. Zhang Jiao, who has been a little unwell recently, has been holding his body to direct the battle.

At this time, the disciple Zhang Niujiao walked in very anxiously and said, "Virtuous Master, General Rengong was defeated by the official army and is now seriously injured. ”

"What?! Take me there. Zhang Jiao was shocked. Zhang Jiao has been dependent on his two brothers since he was a child, and the brotherly relationship is very good, even if Zhang Jiao becomes the supreme sect leader, it does not change their brotherhood.

Under the guidance of Zhang Niujiao, Zhang Jiao came to Zhang Bao's residence, and Zhang Liang had already arrived. The healer is bandaging Zhang Bao.

Zhang Liang saw Zhang Jiao and hurriedly saluted. Zhang Jiao stopped him and asked with concern, "How is the third brother?" Is it serious? ”

"Don't worry, the eldest brother was just shot in the shoulder, and he lost too much blood and passed out. Lang Zhong has already taken out the arrow, and it is no big deal. Zhang Liang replied.

Hearing that Zhang Bao was fine, Zhang Jiao breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Bao woke up slowly, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang, struggling, and opened his mouth to say: "Big brother, second brother ......"

"Third brother, you are injured, don't talk too much." Zhang Jiao comforted softly.

Zhang Bao lay down, suddenly thought of something, and said: "Big brother, today the younger brother fought with the official army, and the official army has thousands of cavalry, all of them are fierce. There are also several peerless generals, my general Wu Zhi, was easily beheaded by one of the Han generals, I didn't notice it for a while, and was attacked by the official army. ”

Zhang Jiao's heart sank when he heard this.

Zhang Liang comforted: "Third brother, you take care of your injuries, and the war is with me and my eldest brother, so you can rest assured." ”

Zhang Bao nodded, and fell asleep again due to excessive blood loss.

Zhang Jiao walked out of Zhang Bao's residence and said to Zhang Niujiao: "Gather all the commanders to discuss the war. ”

Zhang Niujiao immediately took the order and left.

All kinds of people gathered in the conference hall of Zhangjiao.

At the war meeting, Zhang Jiao put forward what Zhang Bao had discovered, decided to change tactics, and all the commanders agreed.

In the following days, several more skirmishes were fought between the officers and the Yellow Turbans.

Seeing that his younger brother Zhang Bao was injured, Zhang Jiao did not dare to attack rashly, and adopted the tactics of constantly harassing and cutting off the grain and grass of the officers and soldiers, which made Lu Zhi busy coping and sending troops to guard the grain road, which was exhausted.

Due to the disturbance of the grain routes, the officers and troops had to divide their forces to protect them, resulting in insufficient troops to carry out a larger attack.

The two sides attacked and defended each other, and the battle became a stalemate. But Lu Zhi is still optimistic, and the situation is becoming more and more favorable to the officers and soldiers.

Emperor Ling was very concerned about the situation of counterinsurgency, and was ready to send Xiaohuangmen to the front line to inspect. Inspecting the front line is a good thing, and those generals who do not do well will definitely be greatly bribed. The competition among the many small yellow doors was very fierce, and in the end, Zuo Feng, who had recently served the Spirit Emperor, got this beautiful difference.

Zuo Feng was deeply influenced by the Ten Standing Attendants, and he didn't pay much attention to the things explained by the Spirit Emperor, but he was very concerned about the number of gifts given by others. Flattery and bribery along the way, good wine and good food, Zuo Feng felt that everything was so good. The gifts from the generals were filled with several carts. Especially Dong Zhuo, who has been defeated recently, spent a lot of money to ask Zuo Feng to say a few kind words in front of Emperor Ling. When Zuo Feng arrived at Lu Zhi's camp, the soldiers thought that the imperial court had sent someone to condole.

There was an envoy from the emperor to inspect it, and Lu Zhi led all the generals to come out to greet him, and the others returned to their tents.

Zuo Feng read out Emperor Ling's will, and then Lu Zhi invited him into the big tent.

Zuo Feng swaggered close to the big tent, and then sat on the main seat in the tent, as the emperor's envoy, he still had this qualification.

"General Lu, how is the recent counterinsurgency situation? Your Majesty is very concerned about the war situation, huh? Zuo Feng sat on the main seat and said with a smile.

"Back to the angel (messenger of the Son of Heaven), the Yellow Turban Party has recently been blocked by our army in Jizhou and cannot advance an inch, and it will be able to break it in a little time." Lu Zhi said respectfully.

"A little while? How much is that? General Lu, you have been in the army for a long time, you should know the sentence that the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. The counterinsurgency costs a lot of money, and the imperial court can no longer import and export. Your Majesty is in a hurry. Zuo Feng said compassionately. The prelude to the bribery began.

"I hope that the angel will explain the situation in front of His Majesty, and Lu will definitely break the yellow scarf and not disappoint His Majesty." Lu Zhi was in a hurry.

Zuo Feng looked at Lu Zhi's anxious look, as long as he added another fire, then the benefits would come. I saw Zuo Feng said in embarrassment: "Our family is also well aware of General Lu's difficulties, but it is difficult for Your Majesty to explain it." Our family is also in a dilemma. ”

Zuo Feng is a smart person, and Lu Zhi is not stupid. Lu Zhi knew the meaning of Zuo Feng's words, and his heart was full of anger, he was born and died outside, and this eunuch actually dared to ask for a bribe.

"Please tell your Majesty the truth. We will wait for the lives of the three armies to ensure the peace of the Han Dynasty. Lu Zhi held back his anger.

Zuo Feng wondered why Lu Zhi didn't understand what he meant, so he didn't get on the road. "General Lu is leading his troops outside, and it is difficult to ensure that ignorant villains are slandered. Our family is kind-hearted, and we will definitely say a few kind words for General Lu in front of His Majesty. Zuo Feng gave a sweet date.

"Thank you, angel." Lu Zhi's face softened a lot.

"It's just that although our family has a heart, we still need other ways to do it. After a multi-day battle, General Lu must have captured a lot. It's better to take out one or two and let our family dredge up for General Lu. Zuo Feng's fox tail finally leaked out.

"Xiaguan has always been as honest as water, where do you need to dredge up the relationship." Lu Zhi was furious.

"General Lu thinks twice. We're here for your good. Zuo Feng said.

"Those who are clear are self-purifying. Angels, please take care of yourself, a certain military affairs are busy, and I will not send them far. Lu Zhi saw off the guests on the spot.

"Unreasonable!" Zuo Feng was also angry and walked away.

After Zuo Feng left, Lu Zhi took the case and scolded: "Shameless eunuch, he dares to ask for bribes." ”

It happened that Liu Bei came to ask Lu Zhi for peace. Seeing Lu Zhi's angry appearance, Liu Bei hurriedly asked, "Why is the teacher so angry?" ”

"It's Xuande, it's nothing, it's just that I'm angry with a shameless villain." After Lu Zhi saw that it was Liu Bei, he was much less angry.

Liu Bei hurriedly came over to ask for peace and asked who made Lu Zhi angry like this.

Lu Zhi sighed and informed Liu Bei of Zuo Feng's request for bribes.

Liu Bei was also silent for a long time. I feel that the Han River and the mountains have been stirred up by these eunuchs to get to this point today.

After calming Lu Zhi's anger, Liu Bei also returned to his tent.
