Chapter 123 The Yellow Turban Army Fights Wancheng Again
After listening to Sun Jian tell what had happened in the past few days, the three of them finally understood what Sun Jian didn't come back until today.
However, the best news is that Bo Cai has died, although he was killed by Sun Jian when Sun Jian and himself were single-handed, but Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun did not blame him for Sun Jian's private disposal of Bo Cai.
One is that both of them value Sun Jian very much, and they know that he is a talent, the so-called thousands of troops are easy to obtain, and one will be difficult to find. The second is that they can really understand Sun Jian's approach, as for the credit, it is really that no one of the competent subordinates is important. Besides, if it weren't for Sun Jian's relentless pursuit of Bo Cai, maybe Bo Cai would have run away a long time ago, so what kind of meritorious service is there to talk about.
"Okay, okay, Wentai, you're doing a great job. I will give the credit for killing Bocai to His Majesty, and of course, Meng De and Meng Qi, you two, and I will definitely give your credit to Your Majesty! Huangfu Song said to the three of them with a smile.
After all, it was Ma Chao's subordinates who captured Bocai, and Cao Cao also made a lot of efforts in the previous battle, so Huangfu Song naturally wouldn't forget about them, and everyone should share the benefits. After hearing this, the three of them thanked Huangfu Song in unison, but Sun Jian said: "It is Meng Qi's work to capture Bocai, if it is not for him, the last general may not even be able to take revenge, so this credit should be ......."
Ma Chao smiled at this, waved his hand and said to Sun Jian: "Brother Wentai doesn't have to be like this, the younger brother is just a gesture, and it doesn't matter if you encounter it." But even if there is no junior brother that day, I believe that Brother Wentai will also succeed in killing Bocai! ”
After hearing Ma Chao say this, Sun Jian didn't say more, although Ma Chao's words were a little flattering to himself, but everyone loves to listen to good words, and the official doesn't give gifts, so Sun Jian naturally didn't say anything. And after his contact with Ma Chao in the past few days, he can be regarded as understanding some of Ma Chao's temperament, and he knows that Ma Chao doesn't seem to care very much about this kind of credit.
After a few more days, after the army had rested, Huangfu Song and the others led their army to leave Changshe and march towards Runan, and Cao Cao and Ma Chaonaturally followed them.
"Okay, Huangfu Yizhen and they really lived up to my expectations, and now Bocai has been destroyed!"
Liu Hong was very happy after seeing Huangfu Song's table, don't look at the yellow scarves in Yuzhou now, but the most influential Bocai and his more than 100,000 people have been wiped out, which shows that the Yingchuan line is much safer for the time being, after all, the traitors are now more than 100,000 less, so can he Liu Hong be unhappy. And in his eyes, it would be too right to send Cao Cao and Ma Chao over, don't you see that as soon as they pass, they will win this time, okay, great.
Liu Hong ordered someone to write an edict, and praised Huangfu Song and a few of them for being good, and praised these people to the sky, which is really rare in the world, a great hero of the Han Dynasty. After writing it, Liu Hong looked at it and felt very satisfied, he never hesitated to praise his courtiers, anyway, it doesn't cost anything, it doesn't matter how much you say, this is definitely a business that makes money without losing money.
After it was written, he just wanted to order Xiaohuangmen to take the edict to Yingchuan, but he came to report it quickly.
"Under the report of His Majesty, the Yellow Turban Sun Xia is leading 50,000 people to besiege Wancheng, the traitors are powerful, and Qin Tai is fighting to the death with the traitors!"
"Zhilu Dao, go down!"
"No!"
Liu Hong's originally good mood was destroyed again like this, this Wancheng has just been recovered, it seems that there is not much time, why is this yellow scarf coming to besiege the city again. Although there are fewer people than Zhang Mancheng last time, there are still 50,000 people, and I don't know if Qin Jie can withstand it.
After the horse went down, Liu Hong was still frowning and thinking about Wancheng, he suddenly saw Zhang Rang beside him, and asked: "Father, this Wancheng is besieged by Sun Xia's 50,000 Yellow Turban traitors, I don't know what Father thinks?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, the slave believes that Qin Taishou should be able to resist the traitor's attack!"
Liu Hong nodded, Qin Jie hadn't come to ask for help yet, which meant that he should still be able to withstand it for the time being. However, he was still a little worried, after all, there were 50,000 people, if this Wancheng was lost again, and then at that time, wouldn't he have to send a large army to take it back. Thinking of this, he shook his head helplessly, this emperor is really too worried and too tired.
At this time, Wancheng's urgent delivery came, and Liu Hong saw that he was really afraid of anything, and Qin Jie was going to be unable to withstand it, so he sent a letter for help.
Liu Hong's brows furrowed even deeper after seeing it, "Father, Nanyang is too guarded by Qin Jie, and he sent a letter asking for help, hoping that I will send troops to rescue Wancheng!" ”
Saying that, he gave the letter to Zhang Rang, and Zhang Rang took a look, isn't it, it seems that Wancheng is really going to be unbearable, 50,000 people can't withstand it, and the defense of Wancheng is too poor.
This can only be said that Zhang let him not understand the specific situation of Wancheng, such a big Wancheng, Qin Jie only has a total of 5,000 soldiers guarding the city, before Ma Chao left him 3,000, and then he recruited another 2,000 himself, which is now 5,000 people.
But after all, Sun Xiana had 50,000 people, ten times his size. The combat effectiveness and equipment of the Yellow Turban are indeed not good, but the combat effectiveness of the guards of Wancheng is actually not very good, and the two sides are nothing more than half a catty and eight taels. And it's the same sentence, he can't stand the yellow scarf, so it's already very good that Qin Jie can withstand it for a few days.
"Since Qin Taishou has sent a letter asking for help, His Majesty should send someone to rescue Wancheng as needed!"
"Father, who do you think should be sent to Wancheng to rescue this time?"
Luoyang is indeed really no one, Liu Hong knows it very well in his heart, and he also knows that Zhang Rang should know better than him. And Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun are definitely not good, both of them are the main force to suppress the rebellion of the Yellow Turban traitors in Yuzhou. It's even worse on Lu Zhi's side, and he is still indispensable there on the northern front for the time being. Could it be Cao Cao this time? Or is it Ma Chao? They......
Sure enough, I only heard Zhang Rang say: "Your Majesty, the only one who can be sent to Wancheng to rescue now can only be Cao Cao or Ma Chao!" ”
Liu Hong thought about it, as expected, Zhang Rang actually thought the same as himself. "Then according to me, let's let Ma Chao and Ma Meng go, he has experience in recovering Wancheng before, so it should be no problem, and Cao Cao still stays in Runan to assist Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun in rebellious Yellow Turban traitors in Yuzhou!"
"Your Majesty!" For Zhang Rang, Cao Cao and Ma Chao are actually the same.
So Liu Hong asked people to write an edict, which was to let Ma Chao go to Wancheng to rescue, of course, if he couldn't catch up, and the city had been broken after that, it would naturally become the will to take back Wancheng.
After this edict was written, along with the previous one, Liu Hong asked people to send it to Runan.
Wancheng, Sun Xia looked at the head of Wancheng under the city, looking at the siege battle between his own soldiers and the Han army, he hated it with monstrous hatred. Because it was here before, his 100,000 brothers were gone, and the handsome man was gone, and if he hadn't run fast, he might have been gone.
So now it's not for anything else, it's just to avenge the brothers and the marshal, so he gathered another 50,000 people to attack Wancheng. It's a pity that when he came again, Ma Chao had already left, and although the culprit was not there, Wancheng still had to be taken.
But he has been attacking the city for several days, and he can't break through Wancheng, and he hasn't broken through any gate, so he is extremely anxious. To say that the combat effectiveness of the soldiers defending the city of the Han army this time is not much stronger than that of their own soldiers, it is nothing more than that the equipment is stronger than that of their own side. But that's it, every time I come home, it seems that the newly appointed Nanyang Taishou is called Qin Jie, and he is really not a good stubble.
"Kill the enemy with me, don't let the traitors attack the city, kill!"
Nanyang Taishou Qin Jie was killing the soldiers of the Yellow Turban, and shouted to the soldiers guarding the city.
"Ahh
"Kill!"
Some of the soldiers defending the city in Wancheng also shouted out, and the movements in their hands were not slow, frantically killing the soldiers of the Yellow Turbans, and the soldiers of the Yellow Turbans attacking the city did not have any advantage except for the large number of people.
Sun Xia looked at the city and sighed helplessly, he had no choice but to order Ming Jin to withdraw his troops. He knew that even if he attacked again, it would be useless, it was better to collect his troops as soon as possible, and he couldn't watch his brothers die in vain. The subordinates next to him saw Sun Xia sigh and understood what he was thinking, but he couldn't solve it with his own mind, so he could only sigh secretly on the side.
As soon as Qin Jie, who was at the head of Wancheng City, saw that the enemy army had retreated, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Qin Jie looked at the back of Sun Xia riding away, he held the sword tightly in his right hand, and thought to himself, Yellow Turban traitor, if you want to capture Wancheng, it is purely a fool's dream. As long as I, Qin Jie, still have a breath of air, I will never let you attack Wancheng, and if you want Wancheng, unless you step over my corpse!
Runan, Huangfu Song camp. After Xiao Huangmen read out the holy decree, he handed over the two holy decrees to Huangfu Song and Ma Chao respectively. After Huangfu Song and the others listened to the holy decree, they didn't think too much, but Ma Chaoke thought about it more.
The heart said that this Liu Hong is too good at tossing himself, it was also a holy decree before, and then he came from Wancheng, from Jingzhou to Yuzhou. As a result, today this is another holy decree, and he transferred himself back to Wancheng from Runan, why are there so many yellow scarves in Nanyang.
But think about it, there are many people in the first county, so naturally there should be more yellow scarves, but if there are fewer yellow scarves, it is abnormal. Ma Chao shook his head secretly, he is now a hard worker, free labor, who let him work for others, when will he start his own business, at that time, it is estimated that he will no longer have to listen to others.
