Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were also worried, Zhang Jiao was also very worried, the two were right, their army far exceeded the imperial court, and the reason why they ended up in a fiasco was because of lack of confidence.

"The second brother and the third brother don't know that our army has already broken through Dong Zhuo's department this morning. This is also the biggest victory in the conflict with the official army, and it should be possible to use this victory to encourage the morale of the army. Zhang Jiao will tell you about today's events.

"Absolutely." Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang showed joy on their faces, this battle was really timely, they were worried about how to appease the army's hearts and let some of the Yellow Turban Army who left come back, and this battle was actually won.

Although it was only one of the three main forces of the official army, the effect of this battle was unparalleled, because it shattered the myth of the invincibility of the official army.

"At this time our people are too scattered, and in my opinion we should act separately." Zhang Jiao suggested, the three of them were quite strong together, but the Yellow Turban Army was so scattered, some small groups of Yellow Turban Army might not be willing to come.

Zhang Bao groped his chin and asked another question: "Big brother, the generous generals of the Yellow Turban Army are loyal to us, but the soldiers under them are not necessarily. ”

"Second brother is afraid that they are used to being comfortable, and I am afraid that they will not obey our orders?" Zhang Jiao said the key thing in one sentence. In the past, there were large and small generals in charge, and those small leaders did not dare to act so arrogantly, but now the troops are scattered. One by one, these people have become the king of the mountain. Take the Charm off the monkey's head, do you expect the monkey to bring it again?

Zhang Liang nodded: "Not bad." It's human nature. We will use both grace and power in this subjugation, and promise that if we achieve great things, we will definitely increase their ranks. "It's like weaving a beautiful dream for those people. Those soldiers from the yellow scarf are all thorns in the eyes of the imperial court. As long as you are a little smarter, you will think that if the imperial court exterminates Zhang Jiao's army, these Yellow Turban troops will be the next target of the official army.

Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao agreed with Zhang Liang's suggestion to give those people a false position first, but if they really achieve great things in the future, those people will not end well.

"Now that things have been decided, let's start working separately tomorrow." The three Zhang Jiao brothers just met tonight and are going to leave tomorrow, and the three of them have reluctance on their faces. However, the urgency of the situation does not allow them to delay even the slightest, otherwise not only will their soldiers die without a place to be buried, but even their lives may not be saved. Between brotherhood and big things, family affection can only give way to big things.

Zhang Jiao and the three discussed the plan, and the three brothers left early the next morning to look for the escaped soldiers. This news reached Zhao Yi's ears, and Zhao Yi immediately called Liu Bei and others to unfold the map, pointed out the direction in which the three of them were fleeing now, and asked Liu Bei and the others for their opinions.

Zhao Yi pointed to the direction in which Zhang Jiao escaped: "At this time, the three brothers of Zhang Jiao have been separated, and it is a good opportunity to annihilate them one by one." If the three of them are given a chance to recuperate, it may be even more difficult to deal with in the future. "Liu Bei

I am very worried about the speed of the Yellow Turban Army's pulling team, because in recent years, natural disasters have continued, and officials have often bullied the people.

And the three Zhang Jiao brothers are accustomed to agitating people's hearts, as long as they are willing to speak, they may gather tens of thousands of soldiers in a short time, and it will be much more difficult to deal with at that time.

Whether there are thieves in the world or not will not be decided, but this rotten Eastern Han court. If the court is benevolent and makes the people live and work in peace and contentment, the fool will rebel with Zhang Jiao.

Liu Bei agreed at that time, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang escaped from his men in the last battle of Changshe, he has been looking for a chance to prove himself, and now the opportunity has finally come. "What Brother Bo Lai said is very true, this is a good time for us to attack." As he spoke, he asked the soldiers below to prepare quickly, preparing dry food and water, and it seemed that they were planning to chase after him.

The day before yesterday, I was afraid that the lone army would go deep and be surrounded by the three brothers of Zhang Jiao, so I chose to set up camp here. Now that we know that the three Zhang Jiao brothers have left, it is a good opportunity to make contributions.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had also gone down to prepare, and Liu Bei asked Zhao Yi: "Brother Bolai, among the three Zhang Jiao brothers, who will we attack first?" "Zhao Yi's department and Liu Bei's department together are only 13,000 people, and they have to compare with the soldiers of Zhang Jiao's three brothers. Only Zhang Bao's strength is weaker, firstly, the combat effectiveness of Zhang Bao's troops must be greatly reduced after many days, and secondly, Zhang Bao's troops are small and easy to deal with.

"Capture the thief and capture the king first, we naturally want to march into Zhangjiao." Zhao Yi stared at the direction of Zhang Jiao's retreat, his eyes flashed, and according to the report of the detective horse, Zhang Jiao's department was heading north at this time. The farther north he goes, the closer he gets to Youzhou, and the closer he gets to Youzhou, the better Zhao Yi's chances of winning. When the time comes, he will mobilize the soldiers of Youzhou to deal with Zhang Jiao, no matter how great Zhang Jiao's ability is, he will definitely not be Zhao Yi's opponent.

Liu Bei did not think about capturing the thief and capturing the king first, but the comparison of the strength of the two sides, and did not agree with Zhao Yi's attack on Zhang Jiao, and said the strength of the two sides: "Brother Bolai, it is extremely risky to deal with Zhang Jiao's department, there are more than 30,000 soldiers in Zhang Jiao's department, and Zhang Jiao just defeated Dong Zhuo the day before yesterday, and the morale is high, and our army will definitely suffer heavy casualties in the fight with Zhang Jiao." But dealing with Zhang Bao is different, Zhang Bao's troops have fewer soldiers, and they have been chased by our army for many days, and their morale is low, and against Zhang Bao, our army has great hope of victory. "To put it simply, dealing with Zhang Jiao is extremely risky, but dealing with Zhang Bao is simply holding a handle.

Liu Bei's analysis was very correct, but Zhao Yi didn't think so: "This opportunity is really rare, and we naturally want to maximize the effect of the troops." In my opinion, killing a Zhang Jiao is more effective than killing Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang brothers. Zhang Jiao is the founder of Taiping Road and the first soul of the Yellow Turban Army, if we can kill Zhang Jiao, it is equivalent to crushing the belief of the Yellow Turban Army and making its fighting spirit completely extinguished. And Zhang Jiao is the most resourceful of the three brothers, if Zhang Jiao dies, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang will not be afraid. ”

Zhao Yi's words can be described as three points, although killing Zhang Jiao cannot immediately defeat the Yellow Turban Army, but it can break the military heart of the Yellow Turban Army, which is even greater than the impact caused by the annihilation of tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Army.

Liu Bei was moved by Zhao Yi's words, and it was still too superficial to think about things by himself. Although the old lady buys persimmons and picks up soft pinching, it also depends on when, Liu Bei bowed down and was taught: "Brother Bolai still thinks about the long-term, I am willing to listen to Brother Bolai's arrangement." ”

Gao Shun told Zhao Yi that the soldiers were ready and could set off at any time.

Zhao Yi waved his hand and ordered to set off immediately, but at this time, a group of officers and soldiers came to the barracks.

A group of more than ten people, led by five people, exudes a special temperament, especially a general walking in the middle, this general has a wide forehead, a tiger's back, and a majesty between his eyes, so that he does not dare to look at him.

Seeing the current movements of Zhao Yi's subordinates, the general raised his eyebrows and said to the guards in the barracks: "Go and tell me quickly, General Huangfu and General Zhu have important military information to discuss with General Zhao Yi." ”

The soldier didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly ran in, stopped Zhao Yi, who had just turned over on his horse, and told Zhao Yi about it.

Zhao Yi frowned when he heard that Huangfu Song and Zhu Yi sent someone over, and glanced at the general, since it was a person sent by Huangfu Song and Zhu Yi, Zhao Yi did not dare to slack off, and drove his horse to the general: "I don't know what happened to the general?" The general is valiant, can you tell me his name? ”

"The last general, Sun Jian, I am fortunate to meet General Zhao Yi today, fortunately." Sun Jian arched his hand, and said in his heart that this Zhao Yi is really handsome and extraordinary, no wonder General Zhu admires Zhao Yi so much. Then Sun Jian waved his finger and pointed to the assembled soldiers and asked Zhao Yi: "The general's headquarters are frequently transferred, and it seems that there is a big move." I don't know, can I tell Wentai to know? ”

Sun Jian came here to Zhao Yi's surprise, Zhao Yi was very impressed by Sun Jian, especially his two sons, Sun Ce and Sun Quan, who were both heroes of the world. But admiration and admiration, but Sun Jian and Zhao Yi have to be guarded against, especially when Sun Jian didn't finish his two sentences, he inquired about his military secrets, and the intention was definitely not so simple, "This matter is about military secrets, I can't tell you." "Things in the army are unexpected, and how can the mystery be revealed to outsiders.

Sun Jian was not angry, but took out a piece of cloth from his arms and handed it to Zhao Yi: "This is a handwritten letter from General Huangfu, the two generals have learned that Zhang Jiao's department has fled, and they are afraid that the general will be pursued by the enemy and ambushed by the enemy, so let the last general come to report the news." ”

Zhao Yi opened it and saw that it was indeed Huangfu Song's handwritten letter. Sun Jian waited until Zhao Yi read the letter: "Since the order of the two generals has arrived, General Zhao will order the ban and let the soldiers return to the camp immediately." ”

Zhao Yi's eyes rolled and he saw that the four fierce generals behind Sun Jian were looking at him. I'm afraid that if half a word pops out of my mouth, these people will take down themselves. Zhao Yi beckoned the soldiers to come over: "The order will go down, all the troops will stop gathering and return to the camp tent." ”

The soldier glanced at Zhao Yi a little strangely, the previous general also asked to gather quickly and throw away all the useless things, why did he suddenly change his mind now, although he was puzzled, but this soldier still bowed down and passed on this order.

Sun Jian could hear a trace of anger from Zhao Yi's tone: "Don't be annoyed, the two generals are also thinking about the safety of the general, you should understand the hard work of the two generals." ”

Zhao Yi invited Sun Jian and others into the barracks with an expressionless face: "General Huangfu and General Zhu are sympathetic to their subordinates, and the last general can naturally understand." The general was tired all the way, and he asked him to go into the camp to rest. "Zhao Yi understood what Huangfu Song and Zhu Yi meant, wasn't he afraid that Zhao Yi would rob them of their credit, so he sent Sun Jian and others here to spread the news. It's a shame that Zhao Yi thinks that Huangfu Song and Zhu Yi are good, and it turns out that they are also scheming people.
