Hua Xiong's hatred for Zhao Yi is much deeper than Dong Zhuo's. At that time, in the first battle of Guangzong, the soldiers of Huaxiong's department suffered heavy casualties, and there was not one out of ten, but the emperor did not promote him, and he did not even give him a condolence. This made Hua Xiong feel very unbalanced, in Hua Xiong's eyes, Zhao Yi was a horse thief. If it weren't for his war horse, where would he have made such a great achievement.

He always thought that the county guard of Zhuojun should let him do it. At this time, when he heard that Zhao Yi had made great achievements again, he was jealous and hateful in his heart, and he couldn't wait to annihilate Zhang Jiao's department and prove his ability.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun's army also entered the north, and the three-way army marched, if Dong Zhuo was late, it was very likely that he would not get any credit at all. When Dong Zhuo bribed Zuo Feng, didn't he just want to command the troops to make contributions.

Dong Zhuo's eyes flashed: "Pass this news to the officers and soldiers in the army." "The officers and soldiers have been chasing the Yellow Turban Army for days, and at this time, like the Yellow Turban Army, they are also exhausted, and Dong Zhuo wants to use this incident to inspire the army.

When Hua Xiong just turned his head and was about to leave, Dong Zhuo stopped Hua Xiong: "Hype up this news, it's best to let the Yellow Turban Army know about it." "If the news of the defeat is passed on to the Yellow Turban Army, it will definitely demoralize the Yellow Turban Army, and it will be easier for the officers and soldiers to attack and kill.

Hua Xiong happily went down to do things, Dong Zhuo stared at the map, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Zhang Jiao, your death time has come." ”

As soon as the news spread in the barracks, the soldiers' faces showed excitement and joy, and they all said that the Yellow Turban Thief was not an opponent of the imperial court at all, and their faces showed a relaxed look.

Dong Zhuo's original intention was good, he wanted to inspire the soldiers, but these soldiers were a little frivolous. Hua Xiong was originally an arrogant person, and when he saw the soldiers like this, he didn't care, and instead of warning and persuading, he even praised him heavily. In the end, the Yellow Turban Army seemed to be papier-mâché, and it fell down when touched with his hand.

"Pass the order, the army will attack Zhang Jiao's department tomorrow, and the enemy army must be annihilated!" Dong Zhuo gave the order. The armies went down and prepared.

At this time, there was chaos in the Yellow Turban Army because of the news of the defeat of Zhang Bao and the others. There were even deserters, but fortunately, thanks to the strict guards of the adjutants, no major incidents occurred.

Zhang Jiao asked these people to spread this matter in the crowd, as if they had set off a cannon battle in the crowd, and the lieutenants were busy, while Zhang Jiao was still listening in the tent.

"My lord, how can you still have the heart to study the battle situation at this time, our army is already in chaos at this time." The adjutant general hurriedly ran over and saw that Zhang Jiao still had that face that was not shocked by honor and disgrace, anxious like an ant on a hot pot.

Zhang Jiao raised his head slightly: "Take me out to have a look." ”

The Yellow Turban Army, which was already lazy, is now not only lazy, but also a little panic on everyone's faces. For fear that the officers and soldiers would attack, his life would not be guaranteed. The Taiping Tao that I believe in, the power of that kind of faith, is really insignificant compared to my own life.

It's not that they don't want to run away but they don't dare, Zhang Jiao's personal guards guard all the passages, and in just one hour, two hundred deserters have been captured. The headless bodies of the two hundred were lying before them.

Seeing Zhang Jiao come out, the faces of these soldiers changed slightly, and they consciously didn't speak again, Zhang Jiao glanced at the soldiers under him, and looked at the panic on everyone's faces, "Do you think that we are not opponents of the official army?" ”

These Yellow Turbans bowed their heads, and none of them dared to speak. When no one speaks, it means acquiescence.

Zhang Jiao did not get angry, but analyzed the current situation and told everyone the real situation: "Yes, most of us are ordinary people, we have not received professional training, and it is normal for us not to be opponents of the official army. The news of the Battle of Yingchuan, everyone already knew at this time, our army was defeated. I could have suppressed the news, but why did I tell the news? I just want to tell everyone that the official army has reached the doorstep. Even if we run again, where can we flee to? Youzhou, Jizhou, Yanzhou? Are these places so safe? If the imperial army really exterminated Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, would we still be able to stay in a safe corner? ”

"In fact, the most dangerous enemy is in the hearts of all of us. If you want to defeat your enemies, you must first defeat yourself. As long as we stick to the belief in our hearts and move forward bravely, not to mention Dong Zhuo's 30,000 troops, even if we confront 100,000 troops, we will not be afraid. ”

Zhang Jiao's words resonated in everyone's hearts. Seeing that the soldier's face had changed, he opened the corners of his mouth and smiled at the corners of his mouth, his goal had been achieved. Zhang Jiao is the founder of Taiping Dao, if he is not good at agitating people's hearts, how can there be such a people who follow Zhang Jiao to make trouble.

Seeing that the morale of his troops had increased greatly, Zhang Jiao stared at the direction of Dong Zhuo's camp: "Everyone go back to rest first, and our army will attack Dong Zhuo's headquarters tonight." ”

Several lieutenant generals followed Zhang Jiao back to the camp tent and admired what Zhang Jiao had just said: "My lord, if you had used these words to inspire people, our army might not have been defeated in a battle with Guangzong." ”

Zhang Jiao smiled bitterly: "These words came to my mind after learning that Zhao Yi had attacked the county seat of Changshe. Then Zhang Jiao showed appreciation: "We have fought with Zhao Yi several times, and he has always been able to win more with less. We used to compare the two armies against each other. But I have always ignored one point, that is, the strength of the soldier's heart. Taking the Battle of Changshe as an example, Zhao Yi's 8,000 soldiers entered the county seat of Changshe alone, facing 80,000 defenders. Zhao Yi's subordinates were able to deal with it calmly and walk in the Yellow Turban Army without missing any flaws, which shows that in addition to the strong cohesion of his soldiers, he also has the strong hearts of his soldiers. ”

"Zhao Yi is the enemy's general, and he is also the undying enemy of our army, why does the general respect him so much." The adjutant general snorted, "Zhao Yi alone almost lost half of the elite of my Yellow Turban Army. ”

Zhang Jiao smiled and waved his hand: "Zhao Yi is a respectable opponent, we should understand him and learn from his good aspects." If we keep working behind closed doors, how can we find his flaws and how can we defeat him? ”

Putting aside Zhao Yi's matter, these lieutenant generals were a little worried about the attack order Zhang Jiao had just made: "General, what are the chances of our army attacking Dong Zhuo's camp tonight?" ”

Looking at the anxious expressions of these lieutenant generals, Zhang Jiao took a sip of water and wine, and asked with a smile: "What are your estimated chances of winning?" ”

The adjutant general pondered: "Sancheng." ”

Zhang Jiao seemed to have a lot of confidence: "Our army will win!" ”

The barracks on both sides were preparing for battle, and in the early hours of the morning, Zhang Jiao's headquarters was brightly lit, and Zhang Jiao, dressed in black armor, stood in the field, looking at the soldiers in front of him: "Our army is successful or defeated, fight here!" ”

After the words fell, he pulled out his long sword, and looked at Dong Zhuo's military camp with resolute eyes: "Kill!" Zhang Jiao took the lead, and his cavalry followed closely behind Zhang Jiao and rushed over.

The sound of shouting and killing could be heard clearly more than ten miles away, and Dong Zhuo was awakened by this earth-shaking shouting and killing, and hurriedly put on his armor. When he walked out of the camp, he happened to meet the detective horse who came to report the news.

"General, Zhang Jiao's department is abnormal, and he rushed to kill our army, and it is less than eight miles away from our army at this time." Tanma told Dong Zhuo about the situation.

"Order the troops to assemble quickly!" Dong Zhuo hurriedly greeted him, Hua Xiong came quickly, and when he saw Zhang Jiao's army attacking, instead of panicking, his face even showed excitement: "I wanted to clean you up tomorrow, but I didn't expect to come and die tonight." ”

Dong Zhuo was not as relaxed as Hua Xiong, he was very strange at this time, why did Zhang Jiao, who was chasing by himself like a rabbit, have the courage to attack. originally thought that the news of Yingchuan would make Zhang Jiao's troops collapse, but he didn't expect that it would make Zhang Jiao's troops united, which greatly exceeded Dong Zhuo's expectations.

And Zhang Jiao's department did not attack the camp, but chose to rush and kill head-on, "Is Zhang Jiao crazy?" Dong Zhuo swallowed a mouthful of saliva. The deafening shouting made Dong Zhuo a little nervous. After the troops were assembled, Zhang Jiao's headquarters was already less than two miles away from the camp.

Hua Xiong led the officers and troops to rush over, and as soon as the two armies first fought, Hua Xiong felt that the Yellow Turban Army under Zhang Jiao was much more difficult to deal with than before. They all screamed and rushed forward to kill, and both the officers and the Yellow Turban Army suffered heavy casualties.

Zhang Jiao encouraged the soldiers at this time: "See, the officers and soldiers are not invincible, and the spear piercing into it is also a dead end." ”

The two sides fought for two hours with nearly 90,000 troops, and the officers and troops suffered heavy losses, and they were beaten back by the Yellow Turban Army. Hua Xiong was also injured, and hurriedly greeted Dong Zhuo with a big knife in his hand: "The thief army is strong, and the general retreats quickly!" ”

The defeat was like a mountain, even though Dong Zhuo led a well-trained officer army, he was scattered and fled after the rout. Dong Zhuo didn't believe that what he saw in front of him was the truth, how could it be possible that his elite soldiers were defeated by the remnants of Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban Army.

Zhang Jiao and others won a great morale boost, and the Yellow Turban Army pursued the officers and soldiers relentlessly. Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun's army has reached the north, and they may have to fight with Zhang Jiao in the near future, before fighting with those two armies, Zhang Jiao naturally wants to defeat Dong Zhuo's troops first, so that there will be one less strong opponent in the future.

The officers and soldiers fled for hundreds of miles in disarray, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, more than 30,000 elite officers and soldiers, and there were less than 8,000 people following behind Dong Zhuo at this time. Zhang Jiaozheng led the Yellow Turban Army in pursuit, vowing to kill Dong Zhuo.

Zhao Yi and Liu Bei were marching north along the Taihang Mountain at this time, avoiding the village, but they were also blocked by the rolling hills. At this time, it was almost noon, Zhao Yi just wanted the soldiers to stop and rest, at this time faintly heard the faint shouting and killing sound coming from the back mountain, Zhao Yi and Liu Bei glanced at each other, hurriedly climbed the high post to watch, and saw that eight miles away, there were two groups of soldiers fighting, the officers and soldiers walked in front, and the back was followed by the overwhelming Yellow Turban Army.

Zhao Yi beckoned the soldiers to prepare for battle, the two sides of the melee were getting closer and closer, and Zhao Yi saw a big flag waving back and forth in the embarrassed fleeing officers and soldiers in front of him, with the word "Dong" written on it.
