Zhao Yi, along with Liu Bei, Sun Jian and others, lined up to greet him. The torches held by the soldiers in the distance were connected together, like a fire dragon, led by the two generals Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun.

Because of the matter of blocking Zhao Yi, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were more or less embarrassed to see Zhao Yi, but the three parties had a tacit understanding and did not say anything about it.

Dong Zhuo also came over to greet the two, although the three of them had the same official position, and they were all Zhonglang generals of the imperial court. But Dong Zhuo lost the battle, and although he was stationed here at this time, he was waiting for the orders of the imperial court.

The defeat of the officers and troops was whether the Yellow Turban Army was more difficult to deal with than before, or the soldiers were inferior to the enemy. The imperial court always has to find someone to carry these charges down, and will put all the blame on this person to stabilize the morale of the army. Compared with the military morale of hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers, the gains and losses of this person's honor and disgrace are really insignificant.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun both speculated that Dong Zhuo was likely to ask for beheading when he returned to Beijing this time, and even if he didn't ask for beheading, he was afraid that he would spend the rest of his life in prison. The attitude towards this kind of person who has no future is very cold, and it can almost be said that he ignores it.

Dong Zhuo warmly greeted Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, but what he got was this kind of response, as if he was sticking a hot face to someone's cold ass. Dong Zhuo is also a face-loving person, so he immediately arched his hand: "You still have urgent military affairs to discuss, I won't bother, and I will leave." After speaking, he didn't care what everyone said, and left here with his sleeves brushed up.

Zhao Yi did not despise Dong Zhuo because of Dong Zhuo's fault, and was still as polite as before. At this time, when he saw Dong Zhuo flicking his sleeves and leaving, he opened his mouth and planned to open his mouth to stay, but he didn't say anything. Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun have a cold attitude towards Dong Zhuo, even if Dong Zhuo doesn't leave now, he is afraid that he will leave after a while. Forget it, let him go.

Seeing Dong Zhuo leaving, Huangfu Song snorted: "If it weren't for Dong Zhuo's trickery against Lu Zhi, the imperial army would be under his command?" How could there be such a great defeat? ”

Zhu Jun only had the accusation left for Dong Zhuo: "He is still a little self-aware and left here, otherwise I would have driven him away." ”

Huangfu Song walked into the camp tent and knelt side by side with Zhu Jun: "Don't let Dong Zhuo affect our big things, Bolai, your department arrived here before us, what is the current situation of the three Zhang Jiao brothers?" ”

Zhao Yi glanced at Huang Fu Song, and Huang Fu Song probably knew a lot more about the situation in Zhang Jiao's department than Zhao Yi. Isn't that knowingly asking? stopped me from moving, but tried to pretend to be unaware of the matter in front of his subordinates. Zhao Yi smiled bitterly and said the current situation: "Tanma recently came with news that the Yellow Turban Army, which was originally divided into three roads, has become two roads at this time, Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang lead one way, and Zhang Bao leads one road alone. At this time, it is heading north. ”

Huang Fu Song and Zhu Jun discussed it and decided that the combined forces of the two would be temporarily separated, and Huang Fu Song and Zhu Jun would each lead one to kill.

Zhao Yi and Liu Bei's subordinates also had to be separated, and Liu Bei's three brothers followed Huangfu Song to exterminate Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang's subordinates. And Zhao Yi killed Zhang Bao with Zhu Jun.

Zhao Yi and Liu Bei did not raise any objections to this, and followed the arrangement of Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song.

Although it was night, Zhao Yi's military camp was still busy, and the soldiers packed up their things overnight and prepared for tomorrow's expedition. Dong Zhuo was drinking alone in the camp tent at this time, thinking of today's incident, Dong Zhuo pushed all the things on the table to the ground.

It is said that officialdom talks about people going to tea and cooling, but Dong Zhuo feels that his tea is cooling too quickly, at this time he has not been removed from his position, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun have already done this to themselves, if they are imprisoned, these people will not on their heads!

Hua Xiong heard the movement in Dong Zhuo's tent, thought something had happened, and hurriedly ran over to check: "General, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Dong Zhuo's appearance, as well as the wine and food under the table, Hua Xiong immediately understood. Dong Zhuo is venting his anger through these things.

"Huangfu Song and they deceive people too much, they dare to look down on me so much, one day, I will make Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun pay the price!" Dong Zhuo said viciously, turned his head to see Hua Xiong's eyes, and walked two steps to Hua Xiong's side: "You don't believe what I said?" ”

Hua Xiong's dodging eyes explained what Hua Xiong was thinking at this moment: "There are almost two results when my lord returns to Beijing this time, one is to be beheaded on the street, and the second result is to be imprisoned like Lu Zhi now." There will be no forgiveness for life. ”

Dong Zhuo clutched the bronze lord tightly in his hand, he would never allow this kind of thing to happen, and beckoned to Hua Xiong: "Take out all our money, it's time to spend it." "At this time, the DPRK and China were corrupt, but for an opportunistic minister like Dong Zhuo, it was a good era. As long as you are willing to spend money, black can also be said to be white.

Hua Xiong went down to do what Dong Zhuo explained.

Dong Zhuo slept peacefully.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Yi's soldiers had already begun to hurry, since leaving Youzhou, Zhao Yi and Liu Bei have been fighting side by side, the two have cooperated for a long time, Liu Bei with the help of Zhao Yi's intelligence, Zhao Yi with the help of Liu Bei's force, the two sides are beneficial and mutually beneficial. Leaving abruptly at this time, Zhao Yi and Liu Bei both had some bad feelings in their hearts.

Zhao Yi followed Zhu Jun to chase after Zhang Bao, but at this time Zhang Bao was already far away from him, and along the way, Zhao Yi and the others could only see the badly destroyed villages.

After passing through a few villages, Zhao Yi asked Sun Jian: "General Sun, don't you think these villages are very strange?" ”

When Zhao Yi said this, it seemed to confirm Sun Jian's previous thoughts: "I thought these villages were very strange just now, but I haven't seen the difference yet. Bo Lai is invincible in his resourcefulness, and he must have seen the difference. ”

Zhao Yi smiled embarrassedly: "Didn't you find that there are only old people and women in these villages, and there are no young adults." ”

Hearing Zhao Yi say this, Zhu Jun and Sun Jian suddenly thought: "Yes, that's it, what's going on in the village, the young laborers are gone." ”

Without waiting for Zhao Yi and others to ask these questions, they heard a rush of footsteps, and many villagers ran out of the alley, and immediately knelt down when they saw Zhao Yi and others, shouting for help.

Zhao Yi and Zhu Jun glanced at each other and asked the villagers, "What happened?" Why are all the young adults in the village gone? ”

An elder seemed to be the village chief and sighed, "My lord, what we are talking about is related to the matter you asked. "It turns out that there have been small groups of Yellow Turbans around this village.

They escaped from the battlefield of Gwangjong, numbering more than a thousand people, and often looted the surrounding villages. The village chief also asked for help from the officials and soldiers, but it was never resolved.

"They were frightened by the officials and soldiers on the battlefield of Guangzong, and although they robbed things, they also left a way for our people to live. But these days have changed, they are not only looting things, but now they are even robbing people. Three hundred people are missing in our village alone. Please save us. ”

Hearing the three words of the Yellow Turban Army, Zhu Jun hurriedly asked Zhang Bao if the army had passed through the village. The old man shook his head and said no.

"Our army still has important military affairs on hand, and we can't delay it here, otherwise we will miss a major event." Zhu Jun refused this matter, but the people had no intention of leaving, and still stood in the field, blocking the progress of Zhu Jun's army.

For these people, Zhu Jun can't be rude, but the pursuit of Zhang Bao is imminent, and he can't wait any longer.

"My lord, the crowd is angry, we have to solve this matter, otherwise we don't want to move forward." Zhao Yi reminded Zhu Jun.

Zhu Jun sighed: "This Yellow Turban Army is mobile, even if our army has 30,000 soldiers, there is no guarantee that it can accurately grow to the target." "30,000 against 1,000 people is like a lion and a fly, and it is a futile effort.

Zhao Yi was opposed: "Since they have arrested the villagers, they will definitely find a place to imprison them, as long as they find a place to imprison them, we will win a big victory." ”

Zhu Jun nodded, and what Zhao Yi said made sense.

The village chief is still talking about the Yellow Turban Thief, his own village has been captured 300 people, but the surrounding villages have also been arrested a lot, the village chief estimates that the number of men in the hands of the Yellow Turban Thief at this time is probably comparable to the number of Yellow Turban Army.

"What are the Yellow Turbans doing with so many people?" Zhao Yi groped his chin and walked back and forth, there must be some purpose, otherwise the Yellow Turban Army would never do this, the food of the thousand people alone is a big problem.

Zhu Jun and Sun Jian also felt very strange, according to the current situation, the Yellow Turban Army should find a quiet place to recuperate in order to make a comeback. What do you do with catching so many people?

Walking two steps, Zhao Yi suddenly paused: "I thought about it, the reason why the Yellow Turban Army arrested those villagers was to develop them into the Yellow Turban Army. "If it weren't for this reason, the Yellow Turbans probably wouldn't have gone to such great lengths.

Sun Jian was very strange: "At this time, the Yellow Turban Army should find a place to recuperate, isn't it looking for death to recruit troops and horses at this time?" "Even if these villagers are willing to join the Yellow Turban Army, they are forced to join the Church, and they are willing to join the Church. No matter how large the number of such troops is, they are just a rabble, and they will definitely be defeated in a battle with the officers and soldiers.

Zhao Yi's eyes turned and he came up with a way to deal with the Yellow Turban Army: "Since they want to arrest the young and strong men, we will let them arrest them." These words made Zhu Jun and Sun Jian very strange, at this time, they should do their best to eliminate this Yellow Turban Army, how could they let the Yellow Turban Army do evil again.

But what Zhao Yi said below made Sun Jian and Zhu Jun understand what he meant. "The village chief, please help us find four hundred ordinary peasant clothes."

"Bo Lai wants to use the method of the battle of the Changsha that day to make a fool of the pearls?" Zhu Jun said Zhao Yi's plan.

Zhao Yi did not deny it: "What the general said is good, it is exactly this method." I want to lure the Yellow Turbans to come and arrest me, and as long as I enter the place of captivity, the Yellow Turbans will definitely be defeated. ”

Zhao Yi only needed 400 soldiers, which made Sun Jian a little worried: "Does Bolai need to fight more men, can 400 soldiers defeat the Yellow Turban Army?" ”
