Yuan Ang was about to say something more, but he heard the injured Wang Xiong speak, "Yuan Jun, let's stop chasing after us." Poor Kou Mo Chase! Watch out! ”

Wang Xiong did not pull out the tip of the spear that pierced his shoulder, and his expression was quite painful at this time.

With his own brother persuading him, Yuan Ang recalled Fang Cai's fight, and also felt that sending this group of county soldiers was frightened out of their courage, and they were afraid that it would be in vain to chase them. Despite the anger in his heart, he later said, "So be it." Quickly gather the team, and then send someone to deliver a letter to the front pass, asking them to send troops to pick it up. In addition, Wang Jun, bear with me, I will help you take out the gun head now! ”

Seeing that Yuan Ang didn't insist, Lu Feng put down a big stone in his heart: "Assemble!" Fall back. ”

"What a good knife!" Zhang Luo praised while using a white cloth to carefully apply the grease sticking to the ring knife evenly near the blade. This is a knife snatched from Wang Xiong, the official of the Northern Army, and this knife cut off the spear thrown by Zhou Cang in one stroke, and Zhang Luo noticed this knife at that time. I just used this knife to cut meat, and it feels like cutting a rubber. It takes a little force, but it can be cut with a lot of precision.

Pei Yuanshao, who was beside Zhang Luo, didn't pay attention to the quality of the knife at all, and everyone carried things and ran to the preset retreat camp, and they couldn't run anymore. Everyone has been tired of this battle for a long time. Running away is even more physically exhausted. Regardless of whether there was anyone chasing after them, the brothers immediately staggered down and lay down on the prepared grass and couldn't move.

And Zhang Luo was still the same as usual, although he was tired, he held on to the fire. At this time, the brothers in the back hall found that the Han army did not pursue, and Zhang Luo began to cut the jerky.

Seeing that Zhang Luo began to cut the meat, the brothers took out the bamboo tube regardless of their fatigue, put the cut meat slices into the bamboo tube, and happily tied the bamboo tube with long grass and placed it next to the fire. Life is difficult in these years, and if there is meat in the main dish of many families for the New Year's holiday, it means that it is a good year.

This time there was a great victory, and everyone was naturally overjoyed, and among the seized objects was meat, and the brothers were even more happy. Smelling the rich fragrance gradually emanating from the bamboo tube, many brothers had already revealed a splash on their mouths. Even Zhang Luo, who began to study the hand crossbow after maintaining the ring head knife, couldn't help but take a few more glances at the fire.

But Zhang Luo didn't care too much about eating meat, he put away the maintained ring head knife, and pulled out the captured crossbow. Looking at the crossbow: "If I put the pistol, I'll hang up." Ay! I'm useless as a gunsmith. ”

It turned out that Sergeant Zhang Luo was almost full of service and was ready to transfer to a fourth-class non-commissioned officer to serve in the gun repair shop.

If he could use the arquebuses or flintlock pistols that the Yellow Turbans were equipped with, plus bayonets, Zhang Luo was fully confident that he could easily defeat any Han army of this era. Just when Zhang Luo's thoughts were on these future military considerations, he heard Bian Xi say respectfully: "Team rate, can you have a meal?" ”

"Oh! Dine! Dine!! Zhang Luo replied immediately.

As soon as the words ended, a cheer immediately rang out among the troops.

Pei Yuanshao anxiously untied the long grass tied to the bamboo tube, picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth. The meat was a little hot, and Pei Yuanshao couldn't help but breathe in the cool air. But he only took a few breaths of cool air before he began to chew heavily. No one laughed at Pei Yuanshao, everyone was as impatient as Pei Yuanshao was eating meat, and they were slamming beans and rice mixed with meaty flavor into their mouths.

After gobbling up the meal, Pei Yuanshao sighed comfortably, "If there is wine, it will be even better!" ”

This sentence was immediately agreed by most of the brothers, and everyone responded one after another: "Yes! It's good to have wine! ”

Then a brother said regretfully: "It's a pity that the Han army didn't transport wine this time, otherwise we would have grabbed some back." ”

Zhang Luo didn't gobble it up like his brothers, and when he heard this, he smiled: "Not this time, but not next time." First, the seized salt and corn were returned to Gwangjong. These things are lacking in the city. We can't just eat here, our family doesn't have salt to eat in Guangzong! ”

Listening to Zhang Luo talk about his family in Guangzong City, the originally lively atmosphere also became a little duller, and many brothers stopped chopsticks.

It turns out that anyone who wants to join the Taiping Dao must first offer all their family property to the church. By offering to the family property, it is possible to determine whether these people are loyal to the religion. In order to prove themselves, most of the converts even sold their land.

After passing the loyalty check, the entire family of the cultists joined the Yellow Turbans. In other words, everything that the disciples themselves own belongs to the Taiping Dao, and if they leave the Taiping Dao now, they will not even have a home to go back to.

At present, the families of the Yellow Turban Army are all in Guangzong City, so why does Zhang slightly mention the family in Guangzong, and the soldiers of the old Yellow Turban Army will behave like this. The brothers seized meat and salt, and ate happily at this time. However, the brothers' families can only eat "light food" in Guangzong, living a life without salt and vegetables. At this time, if you can still eat happily by yourself, it can only be said that the person's conscience has been extinguished.

So Bian Xi hurriedly said: "Brothers, let's hurry up and transport these seizures back to Guangzong, and our family will naturally be able to eat salt." ”

"Yes! After everyone finished eating, they quickly rested, and hurried back early tomorrow morning. Zhou Cang also agitated.

The brothers of the Yellow Turban Army are not only fighting for Taiping Dao, but also for themselves and their families. In addition, everyone fought smoothly this time, and everyone recovered their spirits again.

"I'll definitely follow Team Zhang's lead to fight well!"

"With Team Zhang to lead, none of us are afraid!"

The brothers have expressed their positions.

Zhang Luo naturally would not let go of such an opportunity to win the hearts of the army, and he said loudly: "Brothers, the top priority at the moment is to hurry up and transport things back to Guangzong. As for the merits of the brothers, I will naturally take note of them. General Rengong has issued an order, let's reward meritorious deeds, reward those who have merit, and punish those who have wrong. Since my brothers have made great contributions, I will never bury the merits of my brothers. When you return to Guangzong, I will naturally report to the general. Although I can't boast to my brothers, this time I tried to get all of them promoted to the rank of captain. ”

Hearing that he could be promoted, everyone cheered.

Zhang Luo immediately suppressed the momentum of the brothers' cheers, "Brothers, let's talk in the head, since we robbed the Han army's grain transportation team this time, we are afraid that we will send troops immediately after returning to Guangzong, if the brothers are not promoted this time, everyone can't have anything else." If I promote my brothers, I have to say first that I use soldiers to talk about whether I can do things. When I became the commander of the army, the rations and salaries that were distributed should naturally be given, but in my case, the commander of the army may not command four people. It's not that I don't let my brothers be officials, it's that if I don't fight well, my life will be gone! The life is gone, and the official has a bird to use! ”

"Everything is subject to Team Zhang's arrangement!" The excited fighters replied almost in unison.

On the way back, everyone hurried to march, everyone's family was still in Guangzong, it had been seven days since this trip, and the thought of returning to Guangzong City with so many captures would be rewarded, especially to be able to get together with their families, everyone was like an arrow.

Zhang Luo sent Bian Xi to lead two brothers to rush back to Guangzong City to report first, and led the brigade to march by himself. Despite carrying a lot of supplies, I walked for six days when I came, and less than three days when I returned. After all, when they came out, they were exploring and advancing, and they had to work hard to open the way along the way, and they only needed to hurry when they went back. Everyone stayed overnight, and finally on the morning of the fourth day, they arrived at the meeting point agreed by Zhang Luo and Zhang Bianxi.

It was not only Bian Xi who was waiting for Zhang Luo at the meeting point, but also a team of 100 people sent by the city, led by an eight-foot-long bearded man - Zhang Niujiao, who was the close guard of the great sage and mentor Zhang Jiao.

Zhang Luo and Zhang Niujiao have met, and the two fought together before Zhang Luo crossed the possession, so they can be regarded as acquaintances. Seeing that it was Zhang Niujiao who came in person, Zhang Luo understood how much attention the top management of the Yellow Turban Army attached to this batch of seizures.

Personally inspected the seizures that Zhang Luo brought back one by one, Zhang Niujiao grabbed Zhang Luo's hand and said excitedly: "The team rate is really hard!" With these things, there is hope for defending the city. ”

Hearing these excited words, Zhang Luo's heart sank. Has the situation of Taiping Road reached the point where Zhang Niujiao felt that he couldn't hold on? But Zhang Luo didn't break this point, he smiled: "With Zhang Qushuai personally answering, I can naturally go back easily." The way back has already been arranged. Why don't we go now? ”

"We'll have to wait until it's dark." Zhang Niujiao replied regretfully, "After you sent your troops, Dong Zhuo moved forward again, and at this time he almost forced to the boundary bridge. ”

"What?" Not only Zhang Luo's eyes widened, but Zhang Luo's subordinates were all shocked, at this time, it had been ten days since they left Guangzong City, and everyone didn't know that the situation in Guangzong City had changed so much.
