"Save your second uncle? Zhang Bao? Liu Xian was stunned for a moment, and his mind flashed, and then he realized that Zhang Ning's second uncle was Zhang Bao, the general of the Yellow Turban Army.

"Yes!" Zhang Ning said to Liu Xian with a pleading face: "Young master, after Ning Er killed Suo Qi, he followed Wenshen and their officers and soldiers far away, and also arrived at Julu County, and then found out that General Huangfu Song had led a large army to kill Quyang. Even Guo Dian, the Taishou of Julu County, also went on the expedition together. ”

"Zhang Bao, Qu Yang?" Liu Xian frowned and thought for a while.

Liu Xian did know that Huangfu Song would attack the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in the northern region of Jizhou in November 184. However, he really didn't remember for a while that Zhang Bao, one of the three giants of the Yellow Turban Army, was not dead.

He also remembered that when he saw Zhang Ning at that time, she only said that her father was dead and the third uncle was dead, but she didn't say anything about the second uncle.

Is there something wrong here?

In the romance, Zhang Bao was shot and wounded by Liu Bei, and then assassinated by his subordinate Yan Zheng, offering his head to surrender.

But that doesn't seem to be the case now.

Now Huangfu Song defeated the main force of the Yellow Turban Army in Julu and Guangzong, killed Zhang Liang, and then dug up Zhang Jiao's body, cut off the head and sent it to Beijing to report the victory. Then the imperial court had already appointed Huangfu Song as the pastor of Jizhou, and then sent an army to attack Quyang Zhangbao.

However, at this time, Liu Bei and other rebels have been summoned by the imperial court to Jingshi, so if they attack Quyang again, there will be nothing to do with Liu Bei and their rebels.

Liu Xian thought about it and felt that it might be more reasonable to be like this now.

Huangfu Song wiped out the main force of Guangzong's Yellow Turban Army, which was equivalent to basically quelling the Yellow Turban Rebellion, even if there were still a large number of Yellow Turban thieves, but the main leader Zhang Jiao was dead. The remaining Yellow Turban forces have made it difficult to form a climate.

And in the land of Jizhou, it is impossible to have no political chief for too long, so it is common sense to appoint Huangfu Song as the pastor of Jizhou as soon as possible and let him govern Jizhou. As for those rebels, the imperial court was actually worried that the tail would not be lost, so when the general trend of the officers and soldiers had been achieved, they would immediately summon these rebels to the capital and disband.

"Young master, now the officers and soldiers are attacking in a hurry, Quyang is in danger, please ask the young master to save Second Uncle Ning'er." Zhang Ning once again kowtowed to Liu Xian and requested.

"Ning'er, you get up first." Liu Xian bypassed the banquet table and stepped forward to pull Zhang Ning up.

"Ning'er, do you think I, Liu Xian, have the ability to save your second uncle Zhang Bao?" Liu Xian is really embarrassed, it's not a question of whether Liu Xian wants to save it, but he really doesn't have that ability to save Zhang Bao now.

"I—I don't know...... But I, and I don't know who else to ask for but to beg you. Zhang Ning stood up, but still bowed his head and wept silently: "Second uncle is Ning'er's only relative in this world, I, I don't want to lose his ......"

"Nonsense, isn't there still me?" Liu Xian saw Zhang Ning's rare and pitiful appearance, he couldn't help but reach out and take her into his arms, and thought for a while: "It's not that I, Liu Xian, don't want to save it." It's the current situation, how can this be saved? The imperial army must have been overwhelmed by the army now, surrounding Quyang, and attacking the city day and night. In addition to General Huangfu Song, there are also General Zhu Jun, they are all generals who are really good at fighting in the Han Dynasty today. Your second uncle is at war with them, I'm afraid there will be less luck. ”

"So, what should I do?" Zhang Ning's mind was very confused, she raised her pretty face with pear blossoms and rain, bit her cherry lip and said, "If you can't do anything, brother Xian, then ...... Ning'er is going to Quyang to have a look, no matter what, people must find a way to save my second uncle. ”

"No!"

Liu Xian was taken aback, and hurriedly glared at Zhang Ning and said, "Ning'er, I know that your second uncle is your relative. You are anxious, but Quyang is now a battlefield, what role can your daughter's family play when they get there? It's not a mission like this, it's as simple as assassinating a rope, there are thousands of troops there, and it's unlikely that you just want to go into the city. And, once the officers and soldiers find out about you and know your identity, then the situation is even worse. ”

"But, but I can't ignore it......" Zhang Ning said with a crying voice.

"Don't worry...... Let me think about it......" Liu Xian let go of Zhang Ning, pulled her to the banquet table and sat down, and sat back himself, using his brains.

The battle in which Huangfu Song killed Zhang Bao, the general of the Yellow Turban Army, in Quyang should be his last battle in the Central Plains. After that, he will be transferred to Chang'an, and in the future, he will fight in Xiliang, Beidi and other places.

In history, Huangfu Song is highly evaluated and is a real loyal and good general.

But the only stain is that they killed too many Yellow Turban thieves in Julu and Guangzong, and in addition, it was the last battle in the Central Plains, after the war, they directly killed 100,000 Yellow Turban soldiers, and built the bones of 100,000 people into "Jingguan".

Although this move greatly deterred the Yellow Turban Army, it was indeed not good to capture too many people, especially when so many people were killed and injured in the entire Jizhou due to natural and man-made disasters. 100,000 Yellow Turban captives, if used well, is 100,000 human productivity.

Or, in this contemporary era, Huangfu Song is just a thief, not a stain.

But Liu Xian felt that it would be good if the 100,000 Yellow Turban captives could be handed over to him.

Of course, Liu Xian thinks so, but the truth is unlikely. Don't say that he has no way to get the 100,000 captives, even if he really gives it to him, he doesn't dare to ask for it, because he doesn't have that kind of force to control the 100,000 Yellow Turban troops now.

I don't want to have these things, how can I save Zhang Bao now?

Liu Xian thought for a long time, and then said to Zhang Ning: "Ning'er, in fact, there is really no way to save your second uncle. However, the only possibility is to inform your second uncle to find an opportunity to break through, and even, give up his identity as a local general, give up all the Yellow Turban soldiers and horses under him, and break through as an ordinary person. In addition, I'm afraid there is really no good way to save your second uncle. ”

There will always be activities of the Yellow Turban Army in the northwest of Jizhou, and they can survive well before they surrender to Cao Cao. The key is that they give up the towns they have captured and take the initiative to flee into the mountains to become the king of the mountains.

Zhang Yan of Montenegro is an excellent example. Among the Yellow Turban Army, I am afraid that only he ended up better, and he persevered until he was recruited by Cao Cao. Of course, there is also the Taishan thief Zang Ba, which is relatively good, but he is not the Yellow Turban Army.

"Give up his identity? And his military horses? This, this can't be! After Zhang Ning listened to Liu Xian's words, he shook his head with an ugly face and said, "It's impossible for my second uncle to give up everything to break through." ”

"Stay in the green mountains, even if there is no firewood? If he was really unwilling to give up his identity and the military horses below, then he really didn't have any chance. ”

Liu Xian felt that there was only one way to keep Zhang Bao alive now. But if Zhang Bao himself is unwilling to do this, then there is no way, everything is his life.
