When Zhang Hao led his troops less than fifty miles away from Zhuoxian, it happened to be the third day after the Yellow Turban Army attacked the city on a large scale, and finally Daqu Shuai Gao was killed by Zhang Fei.

In the past three days, the Yellow Turbans have not launched any offensive, and they have not yet recovered their morale from the shadow of the Lord's slaughter. And the two Qu Shuai, Cheng Yuanzhi and Zhao Mu, are still arguing over who will take over the position of Da Qu Shuai.

Cheng Yuanzhi felt that he had captured Guangyang County, and he had come all the way to help you Zhao Mu, and he had worked hard, and he should be the commander of Daqu.

And Zhao Mu thinks that he is the leader of the Yellow Turban Army who is responsible for attacking Zhuo County, and you Cheng Yuanzhi are just following the orders of the great sage and the general of Tiangong to assist him. If it weren't for Gao Sheng's sideways kick, Da Qu Shuai's position should have been his.

The two sides are at a stalemate. There was no position of Da Qu Shuai before, everyone is a brother, what can be discussed, everything is easy to say.

But now that a leading spot is vacated, things are different. Who doesn't want to have more people and horses that they can command, no matter what their ability is, the more people they have, the more weight they will naturally have.

Both of them wanted to take advantage of the position of Da Qu Shuai to annex each other's people, but unfortunately the strength in their hands was about the same, and no one could help anyone, so the stalemate has reached today.

However, this matter has reached the point where it must be resolved, and the morale of the Yellow Turban soldiers is getting lower and lower, and now it is necessary to decide who will lead the way from among the two of them. Then let Da Qu Shuai decide what to do next.

In the camp of the Chinese army, the two sides sat together again and began to discuss the final decision.

Cheng Yuanzhi spoke first: "Brother, I'll get straight to the point." It's been almost three months since we started with the great sage. You haven't even taken a small county seat, and I have already captured Guangyang County in the first month.

This is enough to show that I am more suitable to lead the troops than you, if I am asked to be the commander of this Daqu, it will be easy to take this Zhuoxian county. ”

Zhao Mu snorted coldly: "Brother Xian, this bull is too much, it's easy, this Zhuo County is the largest county in Youzhou, the city is high and the pool is deep, but it is much bigger than that Jixian County."

In the past few days, except for the one in front of me, other cities in Zhuo County have been breached by me. You said it so simply, so why haven't you seen any progress since you came? ”

"That's not because Gao Sheng is that idiot, relying on the fact that he was sent by the general of the Digong, he is messing around in the army. If it hadn't been for that, you and I would have gone into the city long ago. ”

Cheng Yuanzhi put the blame on Gao Sheng, a dead man.

"Hehehe, I don't deny that he's a fool, but that doesn't mean anything. I heard that if it weren't for the fact that there was a scholar in Jixian County who opened the city gate for you at that time, you would have been blocked from entering the city.

If it weren't for that, you would still be outside Jixian County now, and you would be embarrassed to say that you were good at leading the troops, and you wouldn't be afraid to laugh off your big teeth. ”

Zhao Mu's taunt made Cheng Yuanzhi angry, and he said loudly: "Even if it's my luck, it can't erase the fact that my credit is greater than yours." So I'm still suitable to be a big ditch handsome. ”

"Hmph, the position of Daqu Shuai was originally set up by General Digong in order to better command the combined Yellow Turban Army. In this case, it is better to ask General Digong and let him decide. Zhao Mu also patted the table and said.

Cheng Yuanzhi looked at Zhao Mu with disdain: "Please tell the local public-level army, are you willing to do it, isn't this just for him to send another person over to command you and me?" ”

At this time, a soldier suddenly came in to report: "Cheng Qushuai, there is a brother outside who claims to be from Guangyang County, and he wants to see you, as if he has something important to report." ”

Zhao Mu suddenly laughed: "Brother Xian, let's hurry up and see it, maybe it's your backyard that catches fire." ”

Cheng Yuanzhi snorted coldly: "Let him come in and speak." ”

Soon, the man ran in with a rolling belt, and as soon as he saw Cheng Yuanzhi, he immediately cried: "Qu Shuai, Qu Shuai!" Guangyang County is lost, Guangyang County is lost! ”

Cheng Yuanzhi stood up and exclaimed, "What are you talking about!" ”

"It's the officers and soldiers, the officers and soldiers falsely claimed that they were going to come to Zhuo County to attack Qu Shuai, so Bai Shui Xiaoshuai took his brothers out of the city to pursue the officers and soldiers, but they were ambushed by them, and the whole army was wiped out.

I survived by escaping at that time, and when I returned to the outside of the city, I saw Adjutant General Gao You surrendering to the officers and soldiers of Kaicheng. ”

Cheng Yuanzhi gritted his teeth: "Gao has this bastard, I must kill you!" ”

He looked at this person viciously again: "As a deserter, you dare to come back and drag him out and cut him down!" ”

Two people walked in outside the tent and grabbed the man, and he cried even more: "Qu Shuai spare his life, spare his life, the little one ran away to come back to report the news, not that he was quite a deserter, spare his life!" ”

"Brother Xian still let him go, think about those who defected and surrendered, this brother can work hard and risk death to come back to report the news, which shows that the people are loyal, if you kill him, this doesn't make the brothers feel cold." The smile on Zhao Mu's face became even bigger.

Cheng Yuanzhi listened to Zhao Mu's words, although he was very annoyed, but he still endured it: "For the sake of you being so loyal and Zhao Qushuai speaking for you, I will let you go this time, get out." ”

The man immediately knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing: "Thank you for the grace of the two Qu Shuai." ”

Zhao Mu said to Cheng Yuanzhi: "It seems that we don't have to fight, the officers and soldiers have taken Guangyang County, maybe even Jixian County has been taken, or you go back to Guangyang, let's leave it to me here." ”

Cheng Yuanzhi slowly calmed down the anger in his heart: "I'll take people back." After saying that, he directly led people out.

Not long after, more than 20,000 Yellow Turban troops left the camp outside the city under the leadership of Cheng Yuanzhi. This scene was seen by Liu Guan and Zhang in the city.

"Big brother, half of the yellow scarves have gone north." Zhang Fei immediately shouted.

Liu Bei nodded: "Well, I saw it too, why is this?" Could something be happening? ”

Guan Yu pondered for a moment: "Could it be that the imperial court soldiers and horses of the border county went south, so they divided their troops to stop it?" ”

"In any case, they have divided their troops, and the pressure on us to defend the city is a little less."

……

Zhang Haojun camp.

"There are nearly 50,000 yellow turbans outside Zhuoxian County, and relying on our people alone can't make much difference." Qin Wen looked at the map and said to Zhang Hao.

And Zhang Hao is very confident: "Now it is different from when we first came out, after capturing that batch of war horses before, we have 3,000 cavalry in our hands. Against these mixed Yellow Turban Army, as long as the timing is right, it can still win.

We can take advantage of the Yellow Turbans attacking the city and attack from the flank, and we can..."

"Report!"

The scout ran into the big tent and reported the situation to Zhang Haoyu: "General Qiyu, a Yellow Turban Army has been found twenty miles in front of our army, and there are more than 20,000 people, and it is being rushed towards the direction of our army's camp. ”

Zhang Hao smiled, looked at Qin Wen and said, "The opportunity has come, it seems that we have to change the way of sneak attack." ”

Cheng Yuanzhi, who was marching, also got the news from the scout at this moment.

"Qu Shuai, the barracks of officers and soldiers were found in front, judging from the scale, there are about four thousand people."

"On the way back to Guangyang, you ran into officers and soldiers?" Cheng Yuanzhi frowned, "Could it be that the officers and soldiers who captured Guangyang?" This is really a narrow road! ”

He gritted his teeth and said, "The whole army is on!" ”

When Cheng Yuanzhi saw Zhang Haojun, who had already completed the formation two hundred steps ahead, he also ordered everyone to line up in place.

"Didn't you say that there are 4,000 people, it seems that there are a little less, could it be that these are abandoned sons to cover the withdrawal of other officers and soldiers? Sure enough, in front of my army, this little bit of officers and soldiers is still not enough. Cheng Yuanzhi said proudly.

In that case, there is no need to wait any longer. Cheng Yuanzhi immediately ordered: "Kill all the officers and soldiers in front of them, and make them regret being lackeys of the imperial court!" ”

Zhang Hao looked at the dense Yellow Turban Army in front of him, and began to walk slowly towards him, still a little stunned in his heart. Although he had led his troops into battle several times, this was the first time he had faced so many people.

When the Yellow Turban Army was almost a hundred steps away from him, Zhang Hao immediately ordered: "The whole army obeys the order and withdraws!" ”

Then he took the lead and fled backwards, and the soldiers followed him, and ran away.

Cheng Yuanzhi saw that the officers and soldiers had fled, and he was naturally reluctant in his heart: "Chase quickly, don't let them run!" ”

It's just that the Yellow Turban soldiers have walked almost fifty miles today, and the second half of the journey is a rapid march, and they are already exhausted. Although Cheng Yuanzhi ordered the pursuit, the speed was too slow.

Cheng Yuanzhi saw that the officers and soldiers in front of him had run away, and he was anxious, but he was helpless.

The sun was about to set, so he had to order the whole army to camp in place, bury the pot and cook, and rest for the night.

Cheng Yuanzhi thought in his heart: Anyway, he wants to go back to Guangyang, if this army of officers and soldiers really came from there, then they will definitely go back. Let them go first.

In the distance, looking at the smoke rising from the camp of the Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Hao felt a little helpless.

Originally, he wanted to lead people to lure the Yellow Turban Army over, and then let Qin Wen lead the cavalry to kill from the side, disrupt their formation, and then kill the horse pistol himself. It doesn't seem to be working.

However, there is a huge disparity in the number of people, and it is not clear whether it will succeed or not. Now there is another opportunity.

The Yellow Turbans are resting, and after a tired day, they are the most relaxed.

Zhang Hao immediately summoned back his subordinates, asked Tian Jian to follow behind with the infantry, and personally led the cavalry to prepare to storm the camp of the Yellow Turban Army.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and Zhang Hao led the cavalry to slowly approach the camp of the Yellow Turban Army.

When they were a hundred steps away from the camp, Zhang Hao shouted, breaking the originally silent field.

"The whole army obeys the order, rush in with me, kill!"

"Kill!"

Along with the shouts of slaughter, there was the sound of horses' hooves like thunder.
