Chapter 82: Rushing to Quyang



"Please!" Zhu Jun waved his hand, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It must be General Huangfu who wins, and I am here to inform our army, haha." Zhu Jun thought that the envoy brought good news, and the two sides offered victory at the same time to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion, which would become a hundred years of beautiful talk.

Zhao Yi felt that this messenger was strange, Zhu Jun had just received the news of Quyang City two days ago, Huangfu Song and the Yellow Turban Army had not yet had an effect, and after two days, he actually broke through the county town of Quyang guarded by Zhang Jiao, Zhao Yi was a little unconvinced.

The envoy stepped into the camp tent, bowed to Zhu Jun, Zhao Yi, and Sun Jian, and saw the sad expression on the envoy's face, the smile on Zhu Jun's face froze, and guessed that the news brought by the envoy may not be as good as he imagined: "What did General Huangfu send you here?" ”

"Back to the general, General Huangfu and Zhang Jiao lost the battle, and many of his soldiers were lost. I heard that General Zhao's soldiers were brave and good at fighting, and General Huangfu sent me over and asked General Zhao to write an order, and the last general sent it to Fanyang County to mobilize elite troops to encircle and suppress Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang's headquarters. The messenger knelt on the ground and listened to the answer of the three generals in the field.

Heard? A smile appeared at the corner of Zhao Yi's mouth, this was the ghost of Liu Bei's three brothers. Zhu Jun frowned slightly, he didn't expect that Huangfu Song's department would be defeated in the hands of Zhang Jiao.

Since Huangfu Song named him and wanted Zhao Yi to help, Zhu Jun and Sun Jian glanced at Zhao Yi: "What do you think?" ”

In his heart, he secretly said that Liu Bei and the others had problems for themselves, but his face did not change in the slightest, he groped his chin, and frowned: "This place is hundreds of miles away from Fanyang County, and the army is moving slowly. If the soldiers of Fan Yang are transferred, it may be difficult to reach them within ten days. Although Zhao Yi's words are an excuse, they are also the truth. The distance is long, and it is impossible for the army to reach it in a short day.

The soldiers are fast, and everyone present knows this very well, and after so many days of delay, they don't know what chaos will happen. Zhao Yi's voice changed: "General, at this time, our army has already exterminated Zhang Bao's rebels, and it is time to wave the army north to support General Huangfu." ”

The envoy's face showed surprise, he didn't expect Zhu Jun to annihilate Zhang Bao's rebels so quickly, compared with others, the progress on his side was too slow, and the eight characters had not yet been skimmed. Hurriedly congratulate Zhu Jun on his great career.

"Even if Bo Lai doesn't say it, I will definitely send troops to rescue him." In this kind of troubled times, no one is suspicious of the credit, and Zhu Jun naturally wants to take some in the hands of Huangfu Song.

Aside from this reason, Zhu Jun's department is also the only officer and army within a radius of hundreds of miles who has the strength to compete with Zhang Jiao and quickly reach Quyang. And Zhu Jun's troops had just defeated Zhang Bao, and if they rushed to Quyang with Zhang Bao's head, it would definitely make Zhang Jiao's troops disheartened.

Let the envoy go back as soon as possible to resume his life, Zhu Jun rested the army today and set off for Quyang tomorrow.

Zhao Yi returned to his camp, first captured those yellow turbans, incorporated them into his army, and then returned to the camp to rest.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Jun's army rose out of camp and marched towards Quyang, and more than 30,000 soldiers walked arrogantly on the streets, and nothing happened.

exterminated Zhang Bao, which made Zhu Jun have a lot more smiles on his face, and his words and deeds along the way had a taste of pointing out the country.

Zhao Yi also specially inquired about the people and asked if there were any Yellow Turban Army or rogue gangsters around. The people's answer is almost the same, there was still one a few days ago, but it has disappeared in the past few days, and I heard that it was to go to Quyang to join the Yellow Turban Army.

"Bolai, haven't you done enough to exterminate the remnants of the Yellow Turban last time?" Sun Jian asked with a smile, in Sun Jian's eyes, those remnants of the yellow scarf were not worth the official army at all. Sun Jian and Zhu Jun were all targeting Quyang, and what they were thinking about was how to cut off Zhang Jiao's head. As for this ordinary bandit, Zhu Jun and Sun Jian didn't care at all.

Zhao Yi and these two people have the opposite point of view, if they don't solve small troubles, how can they solve big troubles, and these rogues and the remnants of the Yellow Turban are a great threat to the surrounding villages, if there are often such people making trouble, how can the people grow food with peace of mind.

"It's not that I haven't done enough, but I have seen a little benefit of the Yellow Turban Army under Zhang Jiao's department." A smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Yi's mouth, and the three brothers of Zhang Jiao summoned the rogues, so that all the surrounding rogues were submissive. It means that at this time, as long as Zhang Jiao's department is exterminated, there will be no bandits around.

The envoy Zhao Yi sent the news to the Huangfu military camp, and they were very surprised to learn that Zhu Jun and others had annihilated the Yellow Turban Army under Zhang Bao's department, but then their faces showed joy: "With General Zhu's help, we will definitely win a great victory in this battle." ”

Cao Cao and Liu Bei's eyes also showed joy: "Yes, General Zhu not only brought 30,000 officers and troops here, but also brought exciting news. "If the news of the defeat of Zhang Bao's department reaches Quyang City, it will definitely make Quyang City's spirit greatly reduced. At that time, Zhang Jiao still had the intention of going elsewhere.

"We will try our best to block the news of this matter, and after General Zhu arrives here, we will pass the news to the Yellow Turban Army, which will definitely cause turmoil." Huangfu Song rubbed his palms excitedly, if Zhang Jiao knew about this matter, he would definitely be prepared. If he suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Jiao and others, he would definitely surprise Zhang Jiao.

Although Cao Cao didn't want to discourage Huangfu Song's enthusiasm, he had to say for some objective reasons: "General, if you want to block this matter, it is extremely difficult. After all, the 30,000-strong army is not a small army, and when it marches to a distance from Quyang City, it will definitely be known by Zhang Jiao's ears and eyes. The last general thought that even if he couldn't block the news of General Zhu's march, he would have to block the news of Zhang Bao's death. ”

Huangfu Song was a little carried away before, and suddenly came to his senses when Cao Cao said this: "What Meng De said is extremely true. Seeing that Cao Cao seemed to have something to say, he hurriedly asked, "What else do you have to say?" ”

As soon as Huangfu Song asked, Cao Cao said what he thought in his heart: "In the opinion of the last general, General Zhu's arrival here has brought hope to our army, but it has also brought great trouble. ”

"Trouble?" Not only is Huangfu Song strange, but even Liu Bei is also very strange, this is obviously a good thing, what trouble will there be? The two couldn't figure it out, so they had to ask Cao Cao: "Can Meng De make his words clearer." ”

"If Zhang Jiao learns the news that General Zhu is coming to help, he will definitely be prepared. Our army and the soldiers in the hands of General Zhu Jun were combined into one, and their strength far exceeded that of Zhang Jiao's department. Cao Cao sighed: "What I'm afraid of is that Zhang Jiao will lead his troops to abandon the city and escape, if Zhang Jiao leads his troops to escape, our army must be entangled with it and wait for General Zhu Jun's reinforcements." The Yellow Turban Army fought to the death to survive, and our soldiers must have suffered heavy casualties in fighting with it, and our army's capture of Quyang was frustrated one after another, and its spirit was greatly reduced. It is very likely that Zhang Jiao will be allowed to escape. "Quyang is only fifty miles west of Taihang Mountain, after Zhang Jiao gets out, if he gets into Taihang Mountain, let alone add 30,000 soldiers under Zhu Jun, even if he gathers another 50,000 officers and soldiers, he will not want to find Zhang Jiao's department.

Neither Huangfu Song nor Liu Bei saw this, so it can be seen that Cao Cao has a long-term vision compared to Liu Bei, and can see some things that others can't see, "What Meng De said is extremely true, I didn't expect it." "With the strength in his hands now, it is a fool's dream to besiege Quyang City, the only way is to entangle with Zhang Jiao, as long as he can hold Zhang Jiao's troops for two days, Zhu Jun's army will come. But what made Huang Fusong feel unconfident was whether his department could block Zhang Jiao for two days.

"General, while Zhang Jiao hasn't gotten the news at this time, we have to make a plan as soon as possible." Cao Cao's proposal was immediately agreed to by Huangfu Song, and the previous joy was swept away, and the three of them were planning a plan to entangle the Yellow Turban Army here, and sent soldiers to the counties along the way to block the news, and the people were forbidden to talk about the results of the battle of Yangcheng, and the official news was not allowed to be disseminated.

Zhao Yi in Zhu Jun's camp was also afraid that Zhang Bao would take action, and as the army marched for a day, he met Zhu Jun and asked to lead the elite cavalry first. This fighter is very rare, and Zhu Jun didn't want to lose it, so he agreed to Zhao Yi's proposal almost without thinking about it, and let Zhao Yi lead five thousand elite horsemen to Quyang first. Moreover, Zhao Yi also took Zhang Bao's head.

In Quyang City, Zhang Jiaozheng commanded his soldiers to capture the county seat, and the Yellow Turban Army was unabated, and three county towns had been captured in the past few days. Zhang Jiao's face showed joy, as if he had returned to the beginning of the uprising, the peak of the Yellow Turban Army.

Almost all the surrounding counties fell into the hands of Zhang Jiao, and at this time Zhang Jiao was discussing with the deputy generals around him to capture the county seat of Changshan. The plan has just been formulated, and Zhang Jiaodu has already asked the generals to go back and prepare.

At this time, a tanma ran in with a panicked face and out of breath, and hurriedly bowed down and saluted when he saw Zhang Jiao, and said a few words in his mouth, but because of his heavy tone, Zhang Jiao and these generals did not hear clearly.

Zhang Jiao frowned: "Why are you so flustered?" Did the reinforcements of the official army arrive? When he said this, Zhang Jiao looked disdainful, Zhang Jiao knew exactly how many troops there were in the county within a radius of three hundred miles, and it was not surprising that one or two official troops would come to reinforce him.

The tanma swallowed a mouthful of saliva to stabilize his mood: "Lord, Yangcheng has fallen, and Zhu Jun's 30,000 soldiers are rushing to less than two hundred miles away from our army. ”

"What?!" These words made Zhang Jiao, Zhang Liang, and their generals suddenly shocked. Zhang Bao's tribe was defeated, and there was only one Yellow Turban Army left in the world, at this time Zhu Jun led a large army to attack, with the strength in his own hands, how could he resist so many officers and soldiers.

"How's the situation with General Digong?" Zhang Jiao hurriedly asked, his concern overflowing.

"The subordinates didn't find out." Tanma lowered his head, he was in charge of collecting intelligence, but he didn't find any news about Zhang Bao, and he was very incompetent. But he could tell. Since Zhu Jun's army is coming, Zhang Bao's army must have suffered heavy casualties.

"Life and death unknown?" Zhang Jiao's face turned pale and he sat on the ground dejectedly. Zhang Liang persuaded his eldest brother: "Don't worry, eldest brother, the second brother is very resourceful, he can avoid the battle of Changshe that day, and today's Yangcheng will definitely be no problem." At this time, the second brother may not have found a place to stay, so he can't hear from the second brother. Big brother relax. ”

These words made Zhang Jiao's face look a little better, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw: "The third brother is right, he is right, Zhang Bao must be fine." ”

"Lord, at this time, Zhu Jun's army is rushing thousands of miles away, how should we deal with it?"
