On the evening of September 25, Zhang Liang raised his account. All the soldiers and horses had returned to the camp at this time, but Xiaoqu Shuai Zhang Luo did not come back. On the banks of the Zhanghe River, the two tuns under Zhang Luo's command lined up with spear formations, blocking the escape path of the Han army's rout, and finally annihilated the rout near the mouth of the river valley.

However, Sima Ju and Wang Zhen of the fourth and fifth tuns who came back only knew that Zhang Luo led his troops to chase the escaped sect members, and the Taiping Dao troops chased and killed all the way, except for seeing hundreds of dead bodies of the Han army along the way, they did not see Zhang Luo's troops after chasing the Zhanghe River. Zhang Liang knew that Zhang Luo was extremely brave, he was worried that Zhang Luo would chase his head unconscious, and he would bite the fleeing sect members with all his might. Although he ordered the troops to be collected, he sent people to continue the pursuit, and he must call Zhang Luo back.

This battle was a great victory, annihilating at least 6,000 Han troops in one fell swoop! The northern and southern camps besieging Guangzong collapsed in an instant, retreated a hundred miles, and Zhang Bao led a partial division to break through Xiaquyang.

Zhang Liang arranged for the generals of Taiping Dao to prepare for tomorrow's battle, as long as the Han army's Jizhou assassin Liu Qing's department in front of Taiping Dao was resolved, the Han army's strategy of encirclement before and after would be completely bankrupt.

After assigning the task, Zhang Liang did not immediately order the generals to go back, and he still wanted to wait for Zhang Luo to come back. He was very impressed with Zhang Luo. Of course, this impression is also based on Zhang Luo's courage and skill.

Highlighting Guangzong, Zhang Luo robbed the Han army of grain and grass. After highlighting Guangzong, when Zhang Luo inspected the troops, he noticed that Zhang Luo's troops walked in the rain for a day, and there was no sign of malaise.

It was precisely because of this feeling that Zhang Liang ordered Zhang Luo to block the river valley. After the war, it seems that Zhang Liang's order was extremely correct, and Zhang Luo led the troops to complete the task. According to the report of the brothers who returned, the Han army killed by Zhang Luo's troops "piled up like a mountain of corpses". If Zhang Luo had an accident in the middle because of the fierce pursuit of the Han army, then Zhang Liang would feel extremely regretful.

After waiting for a while, no news about Zhang Luo came back. Zhang Liang couldn't wait like this, and was about to disperse, when the guards outside hurriedly brought in a person, and when the man saw Zhang Liang, he immediately stepped forward to give a salute, and there was a strong excitement in his voice, "Qiyu Rengong, Zhang Xiaoqushuai has returned." He captured the son of the sect member and the two Zuojun Simas of the rank of a thousand stones! ”

After saying this, there was a sensation in the entire military tent.

"Where is Xiao Qu Shuai now?" Zhang Liang stood up and asked.

"He'll be there soon." It was Bian Xi who replied, and his voice was full of passion.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Zhang Luo to enter the big tent with several of his subordinates. I don't know how many miles Zhang Luo ran, but I saw Zhang Luo and the others with hot air on their heads. As soon as he entered the big tent, Zhang Luo immediately saluted Zhang Liang, and then pointed to the two Han army generals who were carried by several Taiping Dao sergeants behind him and said: "Qiyu Rengong, this person is Zongxiong, the son of the sect member; He is Sima Wang Xiong of the Zuojun Army, born in the Wang clan of Bingzhou. ”

Then Zhang Luo pointed to the head carried by another brother and said: "Rengong, this person is Sima Yuan Ang of the Han Army, who was born in the Yuan clan of Runan. He resisted stubbornly and was killed by us. I had to cut off his head and come back to report it. ”

Zhang Liang's face was full of excitement for revenge, and he shouted loudly: "Order!" The armies are gathered. We cut out the hearts of these two guys to pay tribute to the brothers and families who died in the Zhanghe River! ”

Zong and Wang were already dying, and when they were disemboweled, they just snorted a few times, and they were finished without even screaming. Among the thousands of Taiping Dao sergeants, they roared like a tsunami. When the heads of the two of them were cut off and hung high on a flagpole, many Taiping Dao sergeants who had relatives who died in the Zhanghe River couldn't help crying loudly.

After dealing with these, Zhang Liang raised the account again.

"Zhang Luo listens to orders!" Zhang Liang said.

"The subordinates are here!" Although Zhang Luo was tired enough, when he had an order, his waist was still as straight as a flagpole.

Zhang Liang said condescendingly: "Zhang Luo, this king promoted you to Daqu Shuai!" Dominate the side! In the future, I hope you will fight bravely to kill the enemy, and don't live up to the kindness of my father! ”

"Obey the general's order!" Zhang replied excitedly.

In the system of Taiping Dao, this Daqu Shuai is regarded as the county guard in the Han court, and if the number of people and horses exceeds 10,000, it should be equivalent to the state pastor. But now there are no soldiers, but there is more autonomy.

After sealing Zhang Luo's new official, Zhang Liang and the generals discussed the next strategy.

Although Zhang Luo knew that Zhang Liang would die, he still suggested with the attitude of obeying the mandate of heaven as much as possible: withdraw from the Jizhou area, enter the Taihang Mountain in Bingzhou, and join the Baibo army of Guo Tai in Bingzhou, plunder Sanfu, and those who get the pass will win the world.

But at this time, most of the people in Taiping Dao were from Youzhou and Jizhou, and the proposal was shelved.

After Zhang Luoyu dismissed the meeting, he went straight to the place where he sent his brothers to stay to guard the supplies yesterday. No one had seized it yet, and the Han army's pursuing troops were also settled, and the brothers made a fire and put the bamboo rice by the fire to bake. Duan Rui, Feng Zhang, Cao Kun, and Wu Pei, who stayed behind, hurriedly asked, "Zhang Shuai, how did you catch Zongxiong?" ”

When Pei Yuanshao heard this, he said triumphantly: "The marshal was clever and clever, and guessed that there was a Han army hiding in the river valley, and after chasing to the south bank, he no longer continued to chase, but came back and went straight to the river valley." As a result, the guy was really hiding in a cave in the valley. Thanks to Bian's resolute execution of the order, the brothers did not let go of any place and found them. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Cang sighed, "I didn't expect Yuan Ang to dare to do it, but it's a pity for that brother." ”

The four of them listened to a general idea, but they didn't fully understand, and continued to urge Zhang to speak. Zhang Luo didn't want to speak, so he asked Bian Xi to tell. Bian Xi was also the hero of this time, and he immediately spoke triumphantly.

When entering the valley, Zhang Luo asked Bian Xi to lead the reconnaissance troops to explore the road in front and asked them not to let go of a dead end. Bian Xi immediately released the reconnaissance troops and ordered them to search carefully. There were quite a few Han soldiers who fell in the valley, and more than half of them fell to their deaths. In addition, those who did not die, the Taiping Dao sergeant helped them to be freed from their pain and fatigue forever.

However, a brother found a cave and went in to search for it. And Yuan Ang's kung fu is very high, he suddenly killed the scout who touched the cave, and the scout was killed by Yuan Ang without even saying a word. Yuan Ang thought that there were so many people entering the valley in Taiping Road, and it was likely that there would be no one missing.

Fortunately, Zhang Luo's reconnaissance unit has a system, and every soldier has the direction and scope of responsibility, as well as a mechanism for coming back to report. One person was missing, not only was he revealed, but he was also immediately notified to Bian Xi.

Bian Xi immediately searched the suspicious area carefully, and after discovering the cave, he directly attacked the smoke with fire. The Han army didn't expect this, they were choked up, and the people in the cave couldn't bear it anymore and escaped. Yuan Ang was killed, and Zong Xiong and Wang Xiong were severely injured. The captured Han army confessed who these three men were. Then Zhang Luo collected the Han army who was willing to go with him, escorted Zongxiong and them, and came back with Yuan Ang's head.

After listening to Bian Xi's colorful narration, Duan Rui shouted regret. The four of them were arranged behind the palace, and the protection was not cut off, so they did not participate in the pursuit. At this time, the meal was already hot, and the brothers continued to talk while eating, Zhang Luo is now a big handsome, although everyone has little understanding of the Taiping Dao system, Duan Rui is still very clear that under Zhang Luo, the chances of promotion have greatly increased.

Zhang Luo didn't care about these things, the so-called dojo in the shell of the snail lion was very similar to the system of Taiping Dao, when there were not so many people at all, he formulated a detailed system, purely to find trouble. And in this situation, whoever has soldiers in his hands is the powerful faction.

So Zhang Luo said: "Brothers, now that we have broken through the north and south camps, where do you think we should go next?" ”

The brothers didn't have any ideas, but Bian Xi thought that he might just take advantage of the defeat of the Han army to lead his troops back to Guangzong, and completely sweep away Guangzong's northern and southern camps, and then make the next step. This suggestion was quite endorsed by many brothers.

After Bian Xi finished speaking, Wu Pei said: "Dashuai, my subordinates still think that we should go to Qingzhou Plain County." There are many brothers in Taiping Road in Pingyuan County, and there must be two or three thousand people when they pull it up. Lay down the plains, gather people and horses in the local area, and assault Yanzhou to cut off the retreat of the Han army in Jizhou. ”

Liao Chun didn't interject, but his heart was clear. Bian Xi is a native of Jizhou, so he naturally hopes to return to Guangzong. Pei Yuanshao, Zhou Cang, Guan Hai, Sima Ju, and Wu Pei are all from Qingzhou, so they want to go to Qingzhou. Although he and Zhang Luo are also from Qingzhou and are still from Pingyuan County, they followed Taiping Road and fought out, but they never thought about going home. Observing Zhang Luo carefully, Liao Chun found that Zhang Luo couldn't help but nod slightly when Wu Pei said that he would fight Qingzhou.
