The arrow that Zheng Meng shot at Zhang Bao made him recuperate for nearly two months.

In the past two months, the elder brother Zhang Jiao died of illness, and the news of the death of the third brother Zhang Liang came back one after another.

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, he had to hide his sadness in his heart and block the news from others.

It's just that this is a helpless move for him who is helpless and grief-stricken after all.

There is no news in this world that does not leak out, because those who know do not know him. In addition to a few leaders, there are also officers and soldiers who are the parties.

This afternoon, the Han army, which indirectly killed Zhang Jiao and directly killed Zhang Liang, came to a place five miles outside the city and set up camp.

As for why Zhang Bao knew, it was not the credit of the scouts, but because the Han army sent people to issue a war letter shortly after their arrival.

More than a dozen officers and soldiers lined up in a row, and came to the outside of the city under the arrow, each holding a strange cylinder object in his hand, and shouted in unison to the city:

"Thief Zhang Bao listen, Brother Zhang Jiao and Brother Zhang Liang have been defeated by General Huangfu by my Han Zuo Zhonglang, and the second thief Gu has been beheaded outside Guangzong City.

Now General Huangfu has led the heavenly soldiers to the outside of the city and issued a war letter to you. You can defend the city, or you can fight in the field, and tomorrow the Han and the thief will fight to the death. ”

They shouted several times, and the sound spread throughout the city.

Zhang Bao looked at the soldiers guarding the city around him, and after hearing the news, there was a very obvious panic and riot.

This made his face pale, and he did not expect that the news that he had worked so hard to cover up would be opened by the officers and soldiers as soon as they came, exposing it to everyone.

"Shoot them with arrows, shoot them with arrows!"

It was a pity that the officers and soldiers stood outside the range of the bows and arrows at the head of the city, and all the arrows were shot not far in front of them, causing them to laugh at them.

Zhang Bao was furious and lost his mind: "Send people out of the city and arrest those bastards back, I will tell them that their corpses are broken into ten thousand pieces!" ”

However, as soon as the city gate opened, the officers and soldiers immediately fled, and the Yellow Turban soldiers who left the city knew that they could not catch up, so they could only watch their backs in the distance.

Zhang Bao gasped, thinking that he had known that this was the case, rather than letting the officers and soldiers announce the news to undermine the morale of the soldiers, it would be better for him to say it himself, maybe he could arouse the fighting spirit of his subordinates for revenge.

"General, the officers and soldiers have issued war letters, what should we do?" One of the subordinates asked.

"Of course, it's a battle, a fight to the death with officers and soldiers!"

"But now the morale of the brothers is low, I'm afraid they are not the opponents of the officers and soldiers."

Zhang Bao sneered: "The officers and soldiers hope to use my brother's death to hit the morale of our army, but it is a big mistake, and I can also use this to boost morale." ”

He turned his head to look at his subordinates: "Could it be that the officers and soldiers have set a decisive battle tomorrow, then it will be tomorrow?" Who still talks about this now. That old man of the emperor wrote a war letter just to let his officers and soldiers recuperate.

Tonight, I will lead the troops, and while the new arrival of the officers and men is still unstable, I will attack their barracks at night. I swear to kill Huangfu Song to sacrifice the spirits of my brother and third brother in heaven. ”

Subsequently, Zhang Bao summoned all the Yellow Turban soldiers in the city to give a lecture.

"As those officers and soldiers said, the great sages and good teachers and the general have been mutilated by those dog officers, along with thousands of our brothers.

My brother, our brother is dead! I ask you a word, what should we do? ”

However, everyone was still confused. The great sages and good teachers are dead, and what should they do in the future?

Seeing this, Zhang Bao gestured with his eyes to the subordinates he had arranged in the crowd.

Suddenly, someone shouted in the crowd: "Revenge! Revenge! Revenge! ”

As they chanted, others joined in.

More and more, more and more, gradually forming a wave, until everyone was shouting revenge, and there was an inexplicable look in their eyes.

Zhang Bao waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and his voice gradually calmed down.

"Now our enemies are outside the city. Whether it was, is or will be, they are all we are a mustard and do not want to give us a way to live. I ask again, what should we do! ”

At this time, the person who arranged it only shouted "Resist!" Everyone else shouted in unison: "Resist! Revolt! Revolt! ”

Zhang Bao smiled happily, which he learned from his brother Zhang Jiao.

His brother relied on more than ten years to encourage the people of the world to revolt. And in this short period of time, he mobilized 100,000 people.

This makes Zhang Bao feel like the blue is better than the blue.

"Even if my brother is gone, I have the ability to continue to lead the Taiping Dao and the Yellow Turban Army."

At night, Zhang Bao led 50,000 Yellow Turban troops out of the city and went straight to the location of the Han army's camp.

But not long after Zhang Bao left, a figure stood up in the dark night and left quickly.

……

Zhang Hao led his army in a forest two miles southeast of the city.

He divided his troops with Huangfu Song in the evening, led an army of 10,000, and arrived here before it was completely dark. Then he hid and sent scouts to spy on the movements of the Yellow Turbans.

This was a plan of Huangfu Song, he sent people to provoke the Yellow Turban Army in the afternoon, and sent Zhang Hao to ambush here in the evening.

If someone came out of the city to attack the camp at night, Zhang Hao led the army to copy the enemy's rear road. If not, then wait for tomorrow's decisive battle, Zhang Hao led the army around the east of the city to attack.

The whole plan is that Huangfu Song is responsible for attracting Zhang Bao's attention, and Zhang Hao is responsible for flanking and sneaking attacks.

And the Han army's large camp was only an empty camp, with only a few hundred soldiers in it to create an illusion.

This is also the first time I learned the lesson of Dong Zhuo's visit.

The scout ran back and reported: "General, the thief army is out of the city. ”

Zhang Hao stood up: "Order, the whole army set off!" ”

The moon was dark and the wind was high, and Zhang Bao didn't notice Zhang Hao's team following behind him.

He had already seen the campfires in the dark night that were as striking as fireflies. The camp was unusually quiet, and there was not a single sound.

Zhang Bao was only as tired as last time, and he was all asleep at this moment.

"Last time, it happened that there were reinforcements behind the officers and soldiers. But this time, the same thing will never happen again. ”

yes, no one falls twice in the same place.

In the calm night, Zhang Bao's roar suddenly sounded: "Brothers, step through the camp in front of you and kill with me!" ”

The Yellow Turban Army erupted in earth-shattering shouts and killings, and easily broke through the camp gate of the Han army and rushed into the camp.

A handsome man ran to Zhang Bao in horror and said, "General, there is no one in the camp!" ”

Immediately after that, a number of leaders came running over and told him that not a single person had been found in the entire Han camp. He also said that the camp was filled with a large amount of grass and wood.

Zhang Bao reacted at this time, and shouted in a panic: "It's not good, it's a trick, withdraw quickly!" ”

At this time, countless fire arrows suddenly flew out around the camp, shooting many Yellow Turban soldiers in an instant, and setting the entire camp on fire.

The flames soared into the sky, and the Yellow Turban Army who rushed into the camp was suddenly in chaos, and they all turned around and ran towards the camp gate.

The time was short, and the Yellow Turbans did not all rush into the barracks, which gave them a way to retreat and escape.

But the incident happened suddenly, and everyone was terrified and thought of running for their lives, which also made the scene chaotic.

The darkness of the night fueled the riots, and many people were trampled to death by their companions, but few were burned to death.

The Yellow Turban Army was in shock, and outside the camp gate, countless Han soldiers with torches had already lined up.

"Huangfu Song, you despicable villain!" Zhang Bao was furious, completely forgetting that he had come on his own initiative.

"I just wanted to see if I could eliminate a little of the defenders in the city first, but I didn't expect it to be you, a thief, who came in person."

Huangfu Song used the bronze horn that Zhang Hao gave him to taunt Zhang Bao loudly: "Didn't you three brothers say that Cangtian is dead? I think it's the sky that has eyes, so that all three of your brothers will die at my hands. ”

"Tonight I swear to kill you to avenge my brother!"

Although Zhang Jiao died of illness, Zhang Bao also counted his brother's death on Huangfu Song, which was regarded as admitting this in disguise.

However, he wanted to delay the time to reorganize the army, but Huangfu Song didn't want to give him this opportunity.

"It's useless to talk too much with you, a thief, the whole army listens to the order, and whoever gets Zhang Bao's head will be rewarded with 100 gold, killed!"

At the sound of an order, the Han army immediately rushed to the Yellow Turban Army. The Yellow Turbans, still in a panic, rushed to the battle.

As soon as the two armies came into contact, the Yellow Turban Army collapsed.

The Yellow Turbans, who only wanted to save their lives, had no organization, and Zhang Bao was unable to gather their belief in survival into strength, and the battle presented a one-sided slaughter.

Finally, some of the Yellow Turban soldiers couldn't bear the fear and began to flee. This had a chain reaction, triggering large numbers of Yellow Turban troops to stop resisting and flee north.

And Zhang Hao, who was in charge of the flanking attack, led the army to arrive and blocked the way of the deserters. So they laid down their weapons and surrendered on their knees.

Zhang Bao knew that the general trend was gone, and when he gave the order to fight, he was already planning to flee with his guards.

It's just that God really didn't plan to let him go, and stopped in front of Zhang Bao alone.

Zhang Bao vaguely felt that the person in front of him was somewhat familiar, and lowered his head to feel a faint pain in the arrow wound on his shoulder.

"Bastard, you're the one who shot me with a cold arrow!"

Zheng Meng touched his head and thought about it: "Oh~ I recognize you." Hey, hey, hey, it's good that someone didn't shoot you at the time, and you're not so lucky today. ”

"Kill him for me!" Then Zhang Bao ran alone.

It's a pity that the guards are not Zheng Meng's opponents at all.

And he also learned to be obedient after making a bet with Zhang Fei that time, and after hacking a few people to death and forcing back the other guards, he rushed straight towards Zhang Bao.

He didn't want to let the cooked duck fly anymore.

Zhang Bao was soon caught up by Zheng Meng, and had to rein in his horse to fight Zheng Meng. Although he is also quite brave, he is not Zheng Meng's opponent after all.

A few rounds later, Zheng slashed Zhang Bao's blade away with a single blow, and then ignored Zhang Bao's frightened expression and cut off his head with a single blow.

After dawn, at the beginning of the end of the day, Huangfu Song led the army to the city of Xiaquyang.

He ordered people to persuade the Yellow Turban Army in the city to surrender.

After seeing Zhang Bao's head, the Yellow Turban Army in the city no longer made any resistance and surrendered the city.

At this point, the Yellow Turban Uprising, which began in February of the first year of Zhongping, lasted nine months and was put down in November.

And this troubled world has only just begun.
