Chapter 68: Pretending to be the Yellow Turbans
This matter is not trivial, although there is no evidence to prove that Zhang Jiao would definitely do this, but be careful to make the Ten Thousand Year Ship.
If you can capture Yuan Shu's Huainan, then you can use Youzhou as a bait to lure Yuan Shu's army to take the bait.
Although Xue Yun himself didn't like Yuan Shu, thinking that he and Zhang Rang were in the same stream and unworthy of being a prince,
But this is related to national affairs, and Xue Yun must not act rashly.
If Yuan Shu loses in battle, then the consequences will be unimaginable.
Now that it was getting late, Xue Yun asked the big guys to disperse, recuperate, and prepare for tomorrow's decisive battle.
As night wore on, the sun rose, and the entire city knew that a great battle awaited them.
They can't lose, because if they lose, it's not just about losing their lives.
It is more of an insult to the person, a trampling on the personality.
They heard that after the Yellow Turban Army invaded Yizhou, they carried out a month-long bloody massacre.
The once land of abundance was reduced to purgatory on earth in an instant.
The cries and cries of the people in the city came and went.
Moreover, the Yellow Turban Army also organized a so-called killing competition, and whoever killed the most people would be promoted.
They want to go to the next level more than gold, silver and jewelry.
Because only then will they be able to gain greater rights.
So they all went forward one after another to participate in this game of exterminating humanity.
In the end, according to the results of the Yellow Turban Army's game that were circulated outside, more than 100,000 unarmed civilians, as well as prisoners who had laid down their weapons, fell victim to this game.
And among them, the most murderous person was a man named Huang Ye, and the number of people who died under his hands was as high as more than 5,000.
In his opinion, this is an extremely proud "record", and in the end, he was appreciated by Zhang Jiao, and his position was also to protect the Dharma.
It's just that Zhao Dong and other Dharma protectors don't have a very harmonious relationship with him, just because Huang Ye's methods are too brutal.
When others attacked the city, they plundered gold and silver at most, and rarely slaughtered the city.
But Huang Ye is different, every time he captures a city, it is definitely a brutal massacre.
The fame of Huang Ye is completely a murderous name established by the slaughter of ordinary people.
In Zhang Liang's army this time, Huang Ye followed him.
After all, Zhang Liang is only one person, and it is impossible for him to deal with everything personally, and taking Huang Ye with him is to share a little pressure for him.
In fact, Zhang Liang himself doesn't like Huang Ye, and the ideal follower in his heart is Qiao Zhong.
Because Qiao Zhong is cautious and cautious, his brain is also relatively bright.
It's a pity that he was captured during the attack on Youzhou, and now he is still locked up in the prison in Luoyang.
As for the only remaining protector by their side, he also served as the commander of the Youzhou operation and went to deal with Guan Yu and them.
Zhang Liang was also forced to choose Huang Ye in desperation.
At this time, the scout ran over and told Zhang Liang that he still had fifty miles to Jizhou.
After Zhang Liang heard the news, he nodded, preparing to let the troops speed up slightly, planning to rush to Jizhou before noon, and plan to hold a celebration banquet in Jizhou in the evening.
Just as the army was walking to a valley, it stopped.
Because they were worried that Yuan Shao would ambush here, after all, the mountains here are high.
Once there was an ambush, they could condescend and inflict heavy casualties on Zhang Liang's army with bows, arrows and stones.
But if you choose to take a detour, you will have to walk for three or four more days, which Zhang Liang does not allow.
In order to stimulate the fighting spirit, Zhang Liang planned to learn from Xiang Yu's courage in breaking the kettle, so that the soldiers of the whole army only brought three days' rations.
If he chooses to take a detour, then his 150,000 tiger and wolf army will be hungry and fight with Yuan Shao.
Besides, if you let the people of the world know, the army led by him Zhang Liang himself would actually be afraid of a small valley.
If it spreads, you can't let the world laugh off your big teeth?
At that time, even if they eliminated Yuan Shao, the deterrent effect brought by that would be greatly reduced.
But he was also worried that there would be ambushes, just like Zhao Dong's time, before Yuan Shao's figure was seen, his troops would have certain losses.
Zhang Liang balanced the pros and cons, he asked the army to stop first, and sent about a hundred troops to the top of the mountain to check the situation.
If there is no problem, shoot a bow and arrow as a signal.
Soon, the hundred-strong squad marched to the top of the mountain, and there were no surprises along the way.
But just when they were about to reach the top of the mountain, they were suddenly knocked down by the people of Jizhou who were lying in ambush in the shadows.
Although they are elites, these civilians pose no threat to them at all.
But the two are too close, and it is a sneak attack.
It happened so fast that those people couldn't react at all.
These people rushed up directly, divided by two, took off the armor of the Yellow Turban Army, and put it on themselves.
And knowing from the captives that it was safe to do so, they shot a bow and arrow into the sky.
The plans of these people to ambush in the mountain road were all told to them by Xue Yun in advance.
Because Zhang Liang can sit firmly in the third position of the Yellow Turban Army, he is definitely not a simple-minded fool.
If he guessed that there might be an ambush in the valley, but he was unwilling to take a long detour, he would send someone to check on it.
And these people are waiting for this opportunity.
At the same time, Xue Yun also told them that some of these people had to make sacrifices.
If the vanguard did not come back for half a day, it would definitely make Zhang Liang suspicious.
Xue Yun needed these civilians to send an equal number of people, disguised as the Yellow Turban Army, and go down to meet Zhang Liang.
Otherwise, everything they have done will be undone.
And after these people heard Xue Yun's words, they volunteered one by one to say yes.
They seem to have made up their minds to die, and when they go out this time, they have no intention of coming back alive.
After Zhang Liang saw the signal, he let the troops start marching.
When he was about to reach the valley mouth, he saw more than a hundred and ten people standing there, which was the team he had sent out before.
And these civilians in disguise are not at all worried that they will be recognized.
Because no one can remember all these hundreds of thousands of troops.
Moreover, the troops sent by Zhang Liang were also random, and there was nothing special about them.
Zhang Liang would not memorize these hundred or so people one by one, and finally led the large army forward after confirming the safety of the valley.
And these hundred or so people did not stand together, but chose to "cut in line" in the army.
Because if you stand together, it is very likely that you will be recognized by the people next to you, and you will find that these people are all pretending, and then you will suffer.
So they broke into pieces and merged into the army in twos and threes.
Although some people are very disgusted by their "impolite" approach, it is not easy to say anything, after all, they are "comrades-in-arms" who fight side by side with them.
They didn't think it was a big deal, so they chose to open one eye and close one eye.
But what they don't know is that next to them, a "time bomb" has been planted!
Zhang Liang led the army into the valley and came to the trap that Xue Yun had prepared for them.
