There is no need to drink and supervise, there is no hero in the world. ------Tang Dynasty. Li He "Hao Song"

It is said that Zhang Jiao could not hold Daming County, and the whole army retreated to Guangzong, Lu Zhi's troops pursued all the way, but suddenly retreated before reaching Guangzong. Zhang Jiao finally gained a foothold in Guangzong, and just as he didn't know why Lu Zhi retreated, Zhang Bao's messenger arrived and inquired about the reason for Lu Zhi's retreat.

It turned out that the imperial court was not worried that Lu Zhi would lead heavy troops, and sent Huangmen Zuofeng to inspect the military situation. Zuo Feng was corrupt and bribed, and Lu Zhi was a gentleman, and responded: "There is still a shortage of military rations, and An has spare money to flatter the angels?" Zuo Feng was furious, and after returning to the imperial court, he slandered Lu Zhi for deliberately staying still and neglecting the morale of the army. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was furious and ordered Lu Zhi to return to Beijing to ask for the guilt, so he withdrew from the army.

Zhang Jiao couldn't help but be overjoyed and set up a small banquet. Chen Long accompanied him, and when he saw that the messenger was eating with a smooth mouth, he asked, "How is the progress on General Digong's side?" ”

The messenger wiped his grease and said, "General Digong is looking for grain and grass everywhere, but the people have no surplus food. Now he is planning to take down Handan, snatch the grain and grass in the city, and resist the city to defend it, so that he can form a corner with General Tiangong. ”

Zhang Ning was shocked when he heard this: "Handan has always been a strong city, and it is not comparable to Pingyuan County. The second uncle should be careful, of course it is good to capture it, and if he can't capture it, he will come to Guangzong to gather. ”

Zhang Jiao asked, "Wenlong, what do you think about the battle situation behind?" ”

Chen Long is the one who crossed over, of course he knew that after Lu Zhi was arrested, a more ruthless Dong Zhuo came. After pondering for a while, seeing that Zhou Budo was eager to try, he smiled and said: "Yuan Zhi is my brainchild, Tiangong just needs to ask him." ”

Zhang Jiao is known as the general of Tiangong, and Chen Long can't be called his father-in-law, so he calls him Tiangong. Zhou Budo said: "Guangzong and Daimyo, like half a catty and eight taels, are not in danger to defend. This retreat is because Lu Zhi is in prison, and if the imperial court sends another general, then the present of the daimyo is the tomorrow of Guangzong. ”

Seeing that Zhang Jiao was silent, Zhou Budo continued: "Guangzong is closer to Handan and Julu, Handan has the general of the land to contain it, and it doesn't matter for the time being, but Julu is too guarded by Guo Dian with 10,000 troops, and if he cooperates with the imperial court and attacks from behind, he will be attacked by the enemy on his back." I intend to immediately recall General Rengong, abandon Guangzong after the convergence, move westward, and after joining up with the army of General Digong attacking Handan, make every effort to break through the gap between Handan and Yecheng, enter Bingzhou, surprise attack Shangdang for food, and then transfer to the Taihang Mountains after success, and then make plans. ”

Chen Long said: "Yuan Zhi's words are exactly what I want. Tiangong, taking advantage of Lu Zhi's conviction at this time, the new general has not yet arrived, so he can quickly carry out this plan, attack him unprepared, and enter the mountains after robbing the grain and grass, which can be preserved. ”

Zhang Jiao frowned, and began to cough again, his face swollen and red. Zhang Ning hurriedly helped him rub his back, and after calming down a little, Zhang Jiao said: "The third brother has just achieved some results in Pingyuan County, and the second brother is attacking Handan again, if he escapes at this time, it will chill the hearts of the generals." If the second and third brothers succeed, they will just form an iron triangle that can withstand the strong attack of the imperial court. Chen Long knew that Zhang Jiao was stubborn, and he didn't want to go back to the infamy of escaping, so he didn't dare to persuade him again.

After the meal, Zhang Jiao went back to the room to rest, and Zhang Ning called the messenger and said, "You quickly return to the second uncle, and let him be careful of the sneak attack of Han Fujun in Yecheng behind him when he attacks Handan." The messenger hurried away.

A month later, there was news that the imperial court had sent Dong Zhuo to replace Lu Zhi and was about to march into the army in a big way. Zhang Jiao ordered people to set up a big village on the plain outside the southern city, dig a trench in front of the wall, set traps, set up antlers, and pile up rocks to prevent Dong Zhuo's army from directly attacking the city. At the same time, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao were unable to break through the city, Zhang Liang laid down several small counties around to raise grain and grass, Zhang Bao fought until Xiaquyang near Zhending, and for a time Hebei was turned upside down, and the battle was stalemate.

Chen Long had already checked Dong Zhuo's information in his light brain, and told Zhang Ning about the current situation of Dong Zhuo, and of course he didn't say much about the abolition of Emperor Han Shaodi after that. At this time, Dong Zhuo was strong in martial arts, unparalleled in strength, good at wearing two pairs of quivers, shooting left and right when riding a horse, and the military rewards he received were given to his soldiers, and he had a relatively high prestige in Bingzhou and Liangzhou Longxi. After Zhang Ning informed Zhang Jiao, Zhang Jiao ordered to defend Guangzong without mentioning it.

Dong Zhuo was worshiped by the imperial court as the general of Dongzhonglang, and led the army to set off from Puyang, seeing that Guangzong's defense was very tight, he only sent a small force to feint, like a dragonfly dotting water, and there was no siege. The army went directly north, and with the cooperation of the surrounding counties and counties, it went straight to Zhang Baojun in Quyang.

Zhang Jiao guarded Guangzong, and he didn't see the army attacking for a few days, so he knew that something was wrong, so he hurriedly sent a small envoy to find out where Dong Zhuojun went. As soon as he set off, Zhang Bao's subordinate Bu Si was covered in blood, and when he arrived at the city, when the soldiers came in, he was already dying.

Zhang Jiao hurriedly called the military doctor for rescue, and only after a while did he wake up and said urgently: "General Digong was besieged by Dong Zhuo's army, and asked General Tiangong to send troops to rescue him quickly!" Zhang Jiao hurriedly called someone to call Zhang Ning, and asked for a map, Bu Si pointed to the location to the east of Zhending and said: "This is the location, Dong Zhuo has 50,000 soldiers and horses, and the siege is very urgent." ”

Zhang Ning hurriedly came, naturally followed by Chen Long, and Chen Long was naturally followed by Zhou Budo and Lu Chang and others. Zhang Jiao was a little relieved when he saw Chen Long and the others, his daughter and Chen Long were his strongest combination at present, and no one else could deal with Dong Zhuo's army. Chen Long gave his daughter face, and he would definitely help with this.

Zhang Ning heard that his father wanted to save his second uncle by himself, so he naturally couldn't refuse. Glancing at Chen Long, Chen Long was looking at the map and Zhou Budo's research, and when he saw Zhang Ning looking over, he smiled and said, "Mei Niang, Tiangong's task is urgent, you can take it." ”

Zhang Ning didn't want to embarrass Chen Long, but seeing that Chen Long was not embarrassed, knowing that he had promised to help Zhang Jiao, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and almost called out: "Kiss my husband......" Chen Long saw Zhang Ning happy, and said with a smile: "The Lord will be you, Yuan Zhi and I will be a staff officer for you, as for Lu Chang and them, they will be our guard captains, how about it?" ”

Zhang Jiao gave Zhang Ning 10,000 fresh troops this time, and asked her to order troops today and fight tomorrow. It is clear that you can't fall in love with the war, just break the gap and save Zhang Bao. After Zhang Jiao was assigned, he coughed and went back to his room to rest, obviously very tired, and his condition seemed to have worsened. Zhang Ning was worried, so she asked the general to help her order the soldiers and horses, and she went to serve in her father's room.

After Zhang Jiao and Zhang Ning left, only Chen Long and others were left in the hall. Chen Long pointed to Zhang Jiao's military map and said proudly to a few people: "Do you know what kind of place this is?" ”

Zhou Budo knows the map best, and looked at Chen Long pointing to Xiaquyang County, Changshan County, where Zhang Baojun is located, and said strangely: "Isn't this the place where General Digong was besieged?" ”

Chen Long laughed and said: "I promised to help Tiangong to save the earth, one is because of Mei Niang, and the other is because not far from here, there is a great hero who stands up to the sky and the earth and has superb martial arts, and I happened to go to visit." ”

Zhou Budo said curiously: "Since he is a great hero who stands up to the sky and has superb martial arts, why haven't we heard of it?" Lu Chang and the others nodded frequently, saying that they had never heard of such a big hero.

Chen Long said proudly: "This is a heavenly opportunity, and it must not be revealed." You wait until you go back to your room today to prepare, and tomorrow you will set off with the army. Everyone didn't follow, and they all asked Chen Long not to sell Guan Zi and say the name of the big hero. Long Chen only said that there was also a dragon character in that person's name, and it would naturally be revealed when the time came, and everyone muttered.

When Chen Long returned to the bedroom, he realized that he had become Zhang Ning's family member of the army, and he couldn't help but think of the peach blossoms in Lingling. At this time, thousands of miles away, I don't know what kind of peach blossoms are missing. Chen Long also missed the peach blossoms, and wrote a letter to Zhang Juanbu, calling Hao Pudao: "I haven't sent a letter to Lingling for a long time, and I guess the generals of Lingling miss it very much." You don't have to go with us tomorrow, I want you to find a way to return to Lingling immediately, dictate the location and movements of a few of us, and make everyone bury their heads in internal affairs and military affairs, and not be half-hearted. In addition, you can help me give this letter to my sister-in-law. Hao Pu knew that the sister-in-law that Long Chen was talking about was a peach blossom, so he hurriedly took it, put it in his arms and said: "Don't worry, my lord, I only have this family letter, and I should be able to get out of the encirclement and return to Lingling smoothly." Do I need to return? ”

Chen Long shook his head slightly and said: "The battle situation here is changeable, you don't have to come back, you can report back to the special forces yourself." If the delay is too long, I will continue to send people back to report the message of peace. By the way, if you can pass by the Chen family in Yingchuan and greet Old Man Chen Yu for me, by the way, see if Chen Qun and Guo Jia have set off. With that, he waved his hand and let Hao Pu go.

Chen Long was thirsty for talent, and asked Hao Pu to go to Chen's house, which also meant urging Chen Qun. Chen Yu is old and refined, as long as Hao Pu goes to greet him, he naturally understands what he means. Thinking of the world-famous hero Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, I didn't expect that in order to save Zhang Ning, I went around and around, and I actually went to Jizhou, and because of the relationship between saving Zhang Bao, I really arrived at Zhao Yun's hometown, Changshan is really determined. Since the will of heaven cannot be disobeyed, how can he miss such a tiger general, and the man who weaves mats and sells shoes later?

Early the next morning, 10,000 yellow scarves were ready to go, Hao Pu said goodbye and returned to Lingling. Chen Long followed behind Zhang Ning, feeling that it was a little strange that a few of his people did not wear yellow scarves, so they simply put on a yellow scarf as a cover and followed Zhang Ning's carriage and horse closely.

Before Zhang Ning set off, he issued strict marching discipline and set up a discipline supervision team, requiring that the villages he passed through should not commit any crimes in autumn. The army walked around the city, without alarming any imperial court horses and local armed forces, and went all the way to Xiaquyang County, Changshan County.

When they bypassed Julu and arrived near Xinhe County, the discipline supervision team tied up a person and came to Zhang Ning's carriage. The captain of the leader reported: "Holy Maiden, this person plundered the people's food, encountered resistance, and killed one person, who was seized by us, and I hope that the Holy Maiden will be judged." ”

Zhang Ning didn't expect that he had repeatedly ordered that he should not disturb the people, and there were still people who dared to disobey the military order, so he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said: "What I want is a well-disciplined soldier, not a bandit who burns and loots." Today, the evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say? ”

The man had his hands tied, and he craned his neck and howled, "Holy Maiden, spare your life! Since we followed the uprising of General Tiangong, we have fought to the death and sworn to follow, and I have also saved the lives of many brothers! I happened to be hungry and wanted to eat, but unexpectedly killed a civilian. I hope that the saint will forgive her sins! ”

When the generals heard this, they interceded for him, saying that this person fought bravely and kept him for his crimes. When Chen Long heard the commotion, he saw Zhang Ning's whole body trembling, but he had no reason to persuade him, so he had to stand aside and watch. Zhang Ningzhong's face turned red and said: "My Yellow Turban soldiers are all poor people, and what you killed today is your own relatives." ”

After that, he pulled out his sword, cut the man's rope, and said, "I just told my military order, and the soldiers will follow it." Since you and the others have interceded for this person, since ancient times, murder has paid for life, and only I am responsible for the murder. After that, he was about to commit suicide with his sword, but Chen Long next to him hurriedly stopped him.

When the generals saw that the main general was about to commit suicide because his soldiers violated military regulations, they all knelt down one after another, swearing that they would restrain their subordinates. Zhang Ning cut off a handful of green silk with a sword and said: "Now I have a heavy responsibility on my shoulders, and I will temporarily replace the head with hair." Where is the Disciplinary Patrol Team? ”

Dozens of soldiers of the discipline inspection team replied violently: "Yes! ”

"Take twice as much food, tie the man up to the farmer's family, and apologize. I borrow your head to let the people know that my yellow scarves are a disciplined team, and they are also the people's own team, can you be convinced? ”

When the yellow turban soldier saw the saint cutting her hair and acting as the head, he cried and worshiped on the ground, and was taken down by the discipline inspection team. Chen Long nodded slightly beside him, Zhang Ning knew the importance of discipline, and the people of Hebei were blessed.

Zhang Ning got into the carriage and nodded for Chen Long to come up, and the team continued to pull out. In the carriage, Zhang Ning silently leaned on Chen Long's arms and said: "Long Lang, in fact, many things that harm the people are all done by those officials and soldiers, and they are all counted on the head of the yellow scarf. ”

Chen Long nodded and said: "This is the harm of war, and in the end, it is the common people who are unlucky." You handle it well, and you will become an invincible commander in the future. ”

Zhang Ning glanced at him and said: "Long Lang and I, although our identities are different, this ideal of saving the world is the same way." ”

When Chen Long heard this, he suddenly said: "Don't forget, I said that if the Yellow Turban wins Jiangbei and I win Jiangnan, I will give Jiangnan to you as a dowry." Isn't that what we want? ”

Zhang Ning was in a bad mood, but when he heard Chen Long say this, he couldn't help but smile, revealing two rows of shell teeth, and Chen Long couldn't help but kiss him lightly. Outside the carriage is the sound of the neat and majestic pace of the military, the more it seems that the small space in the carriage at this moment is full of warm and charming atmosphere, all the way to Changshan County.
