The next morning, Taiping Dao still began to attack the Han army in front of Liu Qing, the assassin of Jizhou. The troops did not fight head-on, but according to Zhang Liang's subordinates, they first sent troops from both flanks to the rear where Liu Qing was stationed. After severely battering the camps in the north and south, Taiping Dao occupied the battlefield, and the weapons and baggage of the Han army were all captured by Taiping Dao. In this offensive battle, Taiping Dao no longer worries about logistics.

Liu Qing is a thief, and after the current trend of Taiping Dao, he immediately made a decision and didn't even want the barracks. With the Han army, he ran all the way for a hundred miles, hid in Wei County and did not dare to come out, waiting for Huangfu Song's reinforcements to go north, and never confronted Taiping Dao head-on.

At this time, Dong Zhuo was questioned for his defeat, and he was supposed to be escorted to the Beijing division like Lu Zhi. Fortunately, Jia Xu and Li Ru had the foresight to bribe Zhang Rang first, and as a result, the crime was reduced by one degree, and he was asked to wait for Huangfu Song's reinforcements and make meritorious contributions.

At the end of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo took the son of a good family in the six counties as Yulin Lang. Outstanding talent, less brigade strength, double belt and two sheaths, left and right gallop shooting. For the military Sima, from the Lang will Zhang Huan Zheng and the state meritorious, worship Langzhong, give 9,000 horses, Zhuo Xi to share with the officials. Qianguang military order, the northern lieutenant of Shu County, the lieutenant of Wuji in the Western Regions, exempted. Worship and merge the state assassin history, Hedong Taishou, move to the middle of the Lang general, ask for the yellow scarf, and the army is defeated and punished.

Dong Zhuo has a history of merging with the state, Hedong is too guarded, and at this time, he is still integrating the Liangzhou army, where did his subordinates come from the Xiliang Iron Cavalry? This time, he came to Jizhou with 300 cavalry guards. The Son of Heaven just finished getting Lu Zhi, and then changed Dong Zhuo to command Lu Zhi's subordinates, do you think those Lang officials from a family will listen to his command.

Taiping Dao seized Liu Qing's camp, and Taiping Dao fortunately put the Chinese army camp here. After a day of repairing, Zhang Liang held a military meeting and said that the future direction of action would be to choose one of the two directions of moving west to merge with the state and going south to Qingzhou.

Hearing this news, Zhang Luo immediately asked to see Zhang Liang: "If we go south to Qingzhou, there are many Qingzhou brothers among our subordinates, and our subordinates are willing to be pioneers." ”

At this time, there was no one else in the tent, Zhang Liang smiled: "This time we will neither go to Bingzhou nor Qingzhou, I will wait for the north to go to Julu." ”

"Attacking the giant deer? Still down the old path? Zhang was slightly stunned.

During the previous month's military training, Zhang Luo formed a staff department and began to make maps. The important work of the General Staff Department, the compulsory course of the staff officers is to draw maps. Although he could not talk about the advanced technology of contour lines, Zhang Luo asked his brothers from all over Jizhou to start drawing a map of the entire Jizhou based on the geography they knew. Zhang Luo is not completely unfamiliar with Jizhou in the Han Dynasty, and his impression is that this is the central and southern part of Hebei in the later generations.

If Taiping Dao wants to attack Julu, it must first defeat the Han army in Guangping. Although the Han army was severely attacked at Zhanghe and Xiaquyang, the Han army still had 30,000 or 40,000 troops in Jizhou. Taiping Dao now has less than 30,000 soldiers who can fight, and the rest of their families and the like are barely considered "reserves". And the Han army had 10,000 troops in Guangping. These Han troops were frightened, but they were afraid that they would not go out of the city to fight in the Taiping Road. As far as the strength of Taiping Dao is concerned, it is not enough to conquer a city with a huge number of troops.

Looks like we're going to have to run away.

Thinking of this, Zhang Luo said again: "Rengong, my subordinates have something to say." ”

Zhang Luo's suggestion is very simple, now the Qingzhou Han Army, those counties only know how to defend themselves, and the Taiping Dao brothers in Qingzhou are also fighting on their own, mainly because the Qingzhou Han Army has no generals! If you can reach Qingzhou, you will definitely be able to get a large number of troops. It is very necessary for Taiping Dao to go to Qingzhou. Even if the Taiping Dao is ready to go to Julu, it can also send a partial division to Qingzhou, which can confuse the Han army, and secondly, as long as it arrives in Qingzhou, the Han army must divide its troops to deal with the Taiping Road in the direction of Qingzhou.

After saying his suggestion, Zhang Luo said very seriously: "Rengong! The subordinates are willing to go to Qingzhou. There is no need for public appropriation to new subordinates, as long as the current subordinates are sufficient. ”

Zhang Liang did not expect Zhang Luo to take the initiative to apply for such a dangerous mission, although Taiping Dao repeatedly defeated the Han army in Jizhou, but the upper echelons of the Han army were not straw bales, and they did not make mistakes in key army movements. According to the news that has been obtained, the Han army has transferred all the boats along the Yellow River, so that Taiping Road can cross the river without boats. I have just experienced nearly a month of heavy rain, and at this time, the river is swelling and the water is turbulent, and Taiping Road really can't be crossed.

If there is a good general like Zhang Luo who can go straight to Qingzhou, this is naturally good, and it can attract the attention of the Han army; Two can... If the Taiping Dao force in Qingzhou can be integrated, it will be a new force, and it can cut off or surprise the reinforcements of the Han army in Yanzhou. It's just that along the way, there are battles with the soldiers of the county stationed there, and there are various rivers blocking the road. Zhang Liang was worried that Zhang Luo would not be able to reach Qingzhou at all.

However, Zhang Luo's attitude was very resolute, and the Han army's troops also faintly formed an encirclement of Taiping Dao. Zhang Liang did not refuse Zhang Luo in the end, but said: "Let me discuss this matter with the local government." ”

The next night, Zhang Liang called Zhang Luo, "The earth lord has approved of your idea." But this trip is extremely dangerous, brother, are you really willing to go to Qingzhou? ”

Zhang Luo replied angrily: "My subordinates are willing to go to Qingzhou!" If you can lay down Pingyuan County and Qingzhou, it will naturally be the best. Even if he can't beat it, his subordinates can bring some brothers from Qingzhou Taiping Road back. We have fought several bloody battles, and we are indeed short of people! ”

Listening to Zhang Luo talk about "lack of people", Zhang Liang had nothing else to say. Taiping Dao is indeed extremely short of troops, especially soldiers! Zhang Luo was able to seal the Daqu Shuai, in addition to his merits, the situation that Taiping Dao is now an official and no one is also an important reason. Thinking of this, Zhang Liang no longer persuaded Zhang Luo.

He finally agreed to Zhang's request.

Zhang Luo was very happy about this, in the Taiping Dao, although these Taiping Dao seniors made him admire, the Taiping Dao is to let the poor eat and fight! However, these are not enough for Zhang Liu. Participating in such a peasant movement, he liked some people in Taiping Dao very much, such as Zhang Niujiao, Pei Yuanshao, Zhou Cang, and Bian Xi, and also respected some people, such as Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang.

But Zhang Luo finally realized one thing, which is also the root of his incompatibility with this era. Zhang Luo didn't want to find a group of good subordinates for himself, let alone find any good lords for himself. In this decadent and degenerate feudal imperial system, more than 99% of the people in power are beasts. The generals of Taiping Road may not be able to.... The dragon slayer turns into a dragon.

What Zhang Luo is looking forward to now is a team that can build up his own team, armed with more modern ideas. If you want to build such a team, you must leave Taiping Road for a while. Even if he wants to cooperate with Taiping Dao in the future, Zhang Luo also hopes that he will have more subordinates. Since Taiping Dao is a soldier for a general, it is a tribal military head system. What Zhang Luo needs now is to have his own mountain and subordinates first.

The preparations for departure were very fast, not only did Zhang Luo have to set off quickly, but Taiping Dao also began to prepare for the march into Julu County.

In the early morning of September 27, Zhang Luo and his brothers left the camp and began to march south. Zhang Liang sent Zhang Luo out of the camp, and repeatedly told Zhang Luo not to be reckless, if he saw that the situation was not good, he would come back quickly. With Zhang Liang here, it doesn't matter if he doesn't go to Qingzhou.

Zhang Luo thanked Zhang Liang, walked forward for a while, and looked back, but saw Zhang Liang who came to see him off was still standing at the gate of the camp. Zhang Luo seemed to be going back to thank Zhang Liang for his care these days, but he felt that it was too hypocritical. Suddenly, the blood surged, and Zhang Luo sang his own adapted military song to Zhang Liang:

Sending my brothers, embarking on the journey, silently with two tears, the sound of horses' hooves sounded in my ears. Sent my brother down the mountain, the autumn wind and drizzle lingered,

On the mountain, the wild deer wailed, the trees and sycamores, and the leaves fell brightly.

The road is long, the fog is vast, and the revolutionary career often breaks up, and they are the same. My dear brothers, beware of the cold wind in the middle of the night, and take care of yourself all the way.

Zhang Liang listened to the tune of this tune deep and melodious, but the timbre of the lyrics was not quite understood. But this piece alone is very well matched with separation. Seeing that Zhang Luo finished singing, he waved his hand to himself seriously, and then led his subordinates to the south without looking back.

He recalled Fang Cai's tune, and was a little stunned: "Revolution! Revolution! Heaven and earth revolution and four times, Tang Wu revolution, according to the sky and people. ”
