Chapter 324: The Yellow Turban Changes
“…… Dong Zhonglang will Dong Zhuo, a thief who has meritorious service, and saved Li Min from fire and water...... Today, Feng Zhuo is the Taishou of Jincheng County, and protects the captain of Qiang, hoping to be diligent......"
Dong Zhuo served as the assassin of Bingzhou, and also served as the Taishou of Hedong, but he wanted nothing more than the Taishou of Jincheng County. Growing up here, he has a deep attachment to it, especially when he wields a big knife and cuts off a head, whether it is a person or a livestock, it is so wonderful!
Now that he got his wish, he was overjoyed or unhappy, and immediately packed his bags and headed west with the 800 parts.
Lu Zhi was imprisoned because of the unfavorable war, and the other two Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun also encountered Bo Cai, He Man and other yellow turbans, because of the disparity between the enemy and me, the two were defeated, and they both retreated to the Changshe garrison, and the two sides held each other for more than a month, that is, when Dong Zhuo was rewarded for his merits and went to Jincheng. In order to break the Yellow Turban as soon as possible, the imperial court took Cao Cao as the cavalry captain to reinforce the Changshe, intending to attack in three ways simultaneously.
However, Cao has not yet arrived at the Changshe, Fang entered the Yingchuan range, Huangfu Song saw that the weather was dry, and there was a strong wind blowing every evening, so he had a plan, and ordered the soldiers to secretly go out of the city with torches, using the weeds around the Yellow Turban military camp, attacking the enemy with fire, shouting to attack, and the city also raised torches in response, Huangfu Song fought with drums, rushed into the enemy formation, and the Yellow Turban Army was in chaos and ran around. encountered Cao Cao's reinforcements again, and was attacked by Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and Cao Cao on three sides, killing tens of thousands of people, and the Han army won a great victory.
At the end of the war, more than 300,000 prisoners were captured, Huangfu Song suggested that the prisoners be killed on the grounds of insufficient military food, and Zhu Jun also agreed, only Cao Cao felt that the prisoners were unknown, and he thought that if the prisoners were killed, the Yellow Turban would be difficult to descend again, and he would resist desperately, increase the losses in vain, and be discouraged from the conquest of the army.
Song and Jun followed, but in order to get rid of the burden, the two handed over the prisoners to Cao Cao on the grounds of the urgency of the war, and the two led the army south and east.
More than 300,000 captives consumed a lot of food every day, and the military rations brought by the Cao Institute were less than half a day's use, but fortunately, the two did not do it, leaving behind a large amount of grain and grass, enough for more than 300,000 people for three days.
Cao Cao was not happy.
Three days?
What happens after three days?
"Do you really want to kill it?"
Cao Cao shuddered at the thought that he would be like a human slaughtering white qi. When I had a headache, someone suddenly came to report, saying that someone was visiting and could help solve the problem.
Cao Cao thought about it for a long time, and then from it.
Soon after the two met, the visitor left, and Cao Cao felt very relaxed, but at the same time he had a slight doubt: What do you want to capture?
The next day, most of the more than 300,000 captives were taken away, and less than 30,000 captives remained, plus 200,000 stone grain and grass.
After that, Cao Cao led 20,000 prisoners and "captured" 100,000 stone grain and grass back to Luoyang for reward.
Liu Hong was overjoyed when he heard this, and wanted to kill the prisoners to deter the world, but he was blocked by the ministers of the DPRK and China, so he was angry! Nothing! However, it didn't end so simply......
The news reached Dong Zhuo's ears within a few days, which made him feel very regretful, but he forgot what Li Ru said, he couldn't do this great work!
Similarly, Zhang Jiao quickly heard the news of Bocai's defeat and few escapees, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh: "God doesn't open his eyes!" ”
Zhang Jiao was still unwilling, and ordered Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang to lead the troops back to help Julu.
He wants to fight to the death with the army of the imperial court!
At that time, Nanyang Taishou Qin Jie fought a decisive battle with Zhang Mancheng and killed Zhang Mancheng. The Yellow Turban Army changed to Zhao Hong as the commander, and occupied Wancheng with more than 100,000 people to confront Qin Jie.
Qin Jie heard that Zhu Jun was leading his troops to come, so he sent someone to contact him, and the two attacked Wancheng together. However, Wancheng is a strong city, and it is not allowed to enter an inch in ten days.
On the other side, Huangfu Song led the troops to continue to attack the Yellow Turbans of Runan and Chen State, pursued Bocai to Yangzhai, and finally defeated Peng Tuo in Xihua, and the Yu army wanted to flee to Wancheng, but Sun Jian entered the city first, and everyone advanced like ants, broke the enemy army, and successfully pacified the Yellow Turban Army in the area of Yuzhou.
At this time, Huangfu Song hesitated, on the one hand, he was worried that Zhu Jun would follow in Lu Zhi's footsteps, and on the other hand, he was worried that if he could not go north to break Zhang Jiao, Lu Zhi would not be able to save him.
After thinking about it for a long time, Huangfu Song divided 2,000 troops with Sun Jian, and his people totaled 3,000 people, reinforced Zhu Jun, and led the remaining 5,000 people to the north to Julu, and the new Zhonglang general Zhang Wen attacked Zhang Jiao.
Gongsun Du heard that Huangfu Song rushed to Julu in the starry night, and immediately took more than 5,000 of his men to the military camp of the imperial court.
Huangfu Song is discussing with Zhang Wen how to attack the city, a small school reported to General Du Liao, the two of them have already heard of General Du Liao, knowing that since he was edicted to ask for thieves, he killed countless yellow turbans all the way, and made great contributions, so they went out to greet each other.
"Dare to ask, but General Duliao is in person?"
Zhang Wen and Huangfu Song are both Zhonglang generals, with a rank of 2,000 stones, the same as General Duliao, but the importance of General Duliao is still above, and the official position is large, so it is to hold a visiting attitude.
However, Gongsun Du suspected that if he hadn't gone south all the way to attack a lot of thieves, most of the two would have relied on the old and betrayed the old.
"Ben will be!"
Gongsun Du smiled in response, and said: "Dare to ask, but Zhonglang will Zhang Boshen and Huangfu Yizhen face to face?" ”
"Don't dare to be, it's Wen (Song)!"
"It's an honor to have two people to greet you!"
"The general is polite, please inside!"
"Two please!"
The soldiers and horses were led by someone to set up camp, and there was no need for Gongsun Du to worry.
However, there were a few people in the distance, and he couldn't help but nod his head to them. Zhang Wen glanced at it and saw that it was Liu Bei and Guan Yu and other generals, although he was puzzled, he didn't say anything. Huangfu Song had just arrived and didn't know these people yet, but since Zhang Wen didn't say anything, he didn't mean to ask.
However, Liu Bei and Guan Yu chatted after a few people entered the depths of the camp.
"Is that him? Is it for Yun Chang? ”
Liu Bei vaguely remembered Gongsun Du's enthusiasm for Guan Yu, and muttered in his heart, seeing Guan Yu's smug face, he couldn't help asking, "Second brother, do you still remember this person?" ”
Guan Yu glanced at Liu Bei suspiciously, and said in his heart: Didn't we meet this person together? Why do you ask about Yu?
"This person is General Du Liao, Liaodong Taishou!"
Liu Bei saw that Guan Yu really remembered Gongsun Du, his heart sank slightly, and he felt bad, and then his eyes rolled and said, "It stands to reason that General Du Liao set off half a month earlier than us, why did he arrive at this time?" ”
Liu Bei naturally didn't want to ask the reason, but told Guan Yu Gongsun Du that they were not of the same mind. Guan Yu didn't seem to hear it, and said casually: "I probably ran into a large yellow scarf!" ”
……
Gongsun Du didn't know that Liu Bei was giving him eye medicine, and at this time, he entered the Chinese army's big tent with Zhang Wen and Huangfu Song.
Zhang Wen and Huangfu Song urged Gongsun Du to sit on the throne on the grounds that Gongsun Du's official position was higher than the two, but Gongsun Du refused on the grounds that the imperial court appointed Zhang Wen and Huangfu Song as the commander-in-chief, and sat on the left side.
The two had to follow, and then Zhang Wen sat on the main seat, and Huangfu Song sat on the right.
Since Zhang Wen was sitting on the main seat, he first asked: "Now that Zhang Jiao can't hold on, I don't know why General Duliao can see the teaching?" ”
"Don't dare to be taught!" Gongsun Du waved his hand, smiled indifferently, and said, "However, according to Ben, it is appropriate to attack quickly!" ”
Zhang Wen was taken aback, and glanced at Huangfu Song, both of whom felt that this move was in a hurry.
"General Duliao means to attack the city immediately?"
Gongsun Du saw the small movements of the two of them, and replied: "Don't hide it from the two, Zhang Baozheng, who was supposed to get the news from Quyang a few days ago, led the troops south, and Zhang Liang in the plains did the same. ”
"These two people each led an army of no less than 100,000, if they join forces with Zhang Jiao, presumably the two of them dare not say that they will definitely win, right?"
"What?"
Zhang Wen and Huangfu Song were both shocked, got up and asked hurriedly: "Is what the general said true?" ”
"It's true!" Gongsun Du also had a little more solemnity on his face, not to mention how many elites in the army led by Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were not to mention for the time being, the 200,000 army alone was not a small number, and when they joined forces, it would inevitably cause panic among the officers and soldiers, after all, even if the 5,000 people of the Liao army were counted, it was only less than 30,000.
This has to say that Dong Zhuo's strength is great, originally Julu's official army still had more than 40,000 people, and now with the army led by Duliao Army and Huangfu Song, it is not as many as before, it can be imagined.
"In this way, the city is going to be attacked immediately, and it must be fast!" Zhang Wen and Huangfu Song said at the same time.
Gongsun Du nodded and said: "The men and horses led by this general are all cavalry, and it is inconvenient to attack the city. Yes, there have to be two workers. ”
"But don't worry, although you are not good at attacking the city, it is still no problem to release arrows to suppress the Yellow Turban crossbowmen at the head of the city."
Zhang Wen and Huangfu Song had also seen Gongsun Du's Du Liao Army before, but everyone had horses, and they were extremely strong, and they thought they might not be able to help, but they couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Haha!" Then there is General Law! ”
"Everyone is in the same palace, as it should be!"
The three of them then discussed it again, and decided to feint at the north gate and the west gate, mainly attacking the south gate, and leaving the west gate for you to retreat.
