Under Zhao Yi's persuasion, Liu Bei gave up the idea of suicide: "I naturally know what Brother Bolai said, I wanted to pacify Changshe in a war, but I let Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang escape, which is really embarrassing. ”

"Big brother don't blame himself, this battle is not the fault of the big brother, we and Zhang Bao met in a narrow way, although our side is brave and invincible, but Zhang Bao's two thousand guards are also brave and good at fighting, and they will not retreat. Fighting against them in narrow streets, it is difficult for our numerical advantage to be brought into play. Guan Yu still had lingering palpitations when he talked about the battle situation at that time, and the strength of those pro-soldiers was not much different from the soldiers he led. Although he defeated the Yellow Turban Army, his own troops also suffered heavy casualties.

Zhao Yi comforted Liu Bei and the three of them for a while, and some soldiers came to invite Zhao Yi and others to go to the government to discuss things, Changshe County has been baptized by war, most of the houses have collapsed, and although the bodies of the Yellow Turban Army and soldiers have been carried outside the city for centralized treatment, but from the dark red blood stains left on the street, they can still be associated with the tragedy of last night's battle.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun listened to the soldiers below report the number of enemies destroyed with joy on their faces, and when they saw Zhao Yi and others coming, they got up to greet them.

After the victory of the war, the official army annihilated 70,000 Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang only took away 50,000 deserters, and the remaining 10,000 or so Yellow Turban Army saw that the situation was not right and fled here.

"If it weren't for the Bolai conspiracy in this war, it would have been even more difficult for our army to break through the Yellow Turban Thieves." Huangfu Song praised Zhao Yi, and also said that he would go to the emperor and let the emperor reward Zhao Yi again.

Zhu Jun sighed: "It's a big pity to let Zhang Bao and the others get away with such a difficult opportunity." "If Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were killed in this battle, the Yellow Turban Army would fall apart, and there would be no such thing as Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang gathering 50,000 remnants.

These words seemed to slap Liu Bei in the face, and it was precisely because Liu Bei failed to stop them that Zhang Bao and the others escaped, and he just wanted to stand up and say a few words.

His arm was held down by Zhao Yi and motioned to Liu Bei not to come out. Zhao Yi took two steps: "It is not a bad thing for Zhang Bao and the others to get away at present. If it is killed, although the Yellow Turban Army is frozen and collapsed on the surface, it is actually from a large Yellow Turban Army to a small Yellow Turban Army, and the 50,000 Yellow Turban Army may be divided into five points. Without the leadership of Zhang Bao and others, they may be like some rogues, harassing villages and counties without purpose, and the officials and troops do not know how to start if they want to encircle and suppress them. But at this time, led by Zhang Bao and the others, we can guess where they will go with a little thought. ”

Although Zhao Yi's words were suspected of quibbling, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun had to say that Zhao Yi had some truth in what he said, the movements of the 10,000 Yellow Turban Army that slipped away were unknown, and they would definitely endanger the Yingchuan Territory in the future.

"Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang are exhausted, and they will go to Jizhou to attach to Zhang Jiao." Huangfu Song said affirmatively.

Everyone nodded, this is the only way out for Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang at present: "If these three brothers are alive, they will make the Yellow Turban Army have a leader, make the thieves attached, and annihilate a large group of enemy troops than annihilating many small ones, but it saves much effort." ”

Liu Bei really admired Zhao Yi's mouth, a very embarrassing thing, it was like a big victory when it came out of Zhao Yi's mouth. However, thinking that Zhao Yi was defending himself, the disdain in Liu Bei's heart disappeared.

Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang's troops suffered heavy losses, and they would definitely go to Jizhou to rely on Zhang Jiao, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun discussed and decided to lead the army to pursue Zhang Bao's army, and Zhao Yi and Liu Bei's soldiers set off first.

Zhao Yi absorbed some of the Yellow Turban Army, and at this time the soldiers of the headquarters had reached 5,000, while Liu Bei's troops were as many as 8,000, and the combined army of the two sides was more than 13,000 people, and they were marching from south to north.

After Zhongmu crossed the Guandu boundary, it was already two days later, and when he saw the endless Yellow River again, Zhao Yi didn't expect that he would come back so soon.

After a few inquiries in the villages here, the villagers said that a large group of men and horses had indeed crossed the Yellow River yesterday.

"It's a step late, Zhang Bao and others have already crossed the Yellow River, and all the ferries have been burned, and we are afraid that we will have to wait a day or two if we want to cross the Yellow River." Zhao Yi sighed, Zhang Bao and the others knew that the official army would definitely catch up, and they marched day and night. Now he has destroyed the ferry again, which is nothing more than an attempt to leave the officers and soldiers behind.

Zhao Yi had already ordered Gao Shun to supervise the construction of the ferry. With the battle of Changshe, the people's lives will have a short period of tranquility, and Zhao Yi waited for two days to give the silver money, and finally got on the boat.

In these two days, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun's army also arrived on the bank of the Yellow River, and the three parties boarded the boat together, and after crossing the Yellow River, the three armies did not act together, but divided into three routes.

Zhao Yi's troops continued to advance along the path they came, and after Zhao Yi killed the Liukou, the people of Changli County finally lived a few days of peace, but they did not expect that after the calm, it would be a greater disaster.

Although Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang did not have the courage to attack the heavily defended counties at this time, the surrounding villages were devastated, and the people's property and food within a radius of dozens of miles were looted, and the villages of dozens of miles were in a mess as if they had been looted by bandits.

Zhao Yi and Liu Bei were full of emotion when they walked, and Gao Shun came over to report the news: "My lord, I have already asked the villagers, Zhang Bao's Yellow Turban Thief has been out of here for three days, and according to their marching speed, they should be in Handan at this time." ”

Hundreds of miles along the way, I don't know how many villages have been ransacked by Zhang Bao's yellow turban thieves, "Forward!" Zhao Yi waved his hand and gave the order to advance.

The army marched for a day and arrived in Wei County, because Zhao Yi and others had helped Wei County solve the Yellow Turban Thief, so the county guard was very polite to Zhao Yi.

"Lord Gunjo, you're welcome. Our military affairs are urgent, so we will leave after a night's rest, and we don't need to be so particular about eating and drinking. ”

The county guard did not follow: "Lord Zhao, you have a great kindness to my Wei County, and a little food is nothing." Then he sighed: "If Lord Zhao had come two days earlier, the passing Yellow Turban thieves would not have dared to be so rampant." ”

Zhang Bao's Yellow Turban Army passed through Wei County two days ago, because the village had just been looted by the Yellow Turban Army some time ago, so Zhang Bao's department did not loot much.

The county guard also wanted to fight against the Yellow Turban Army like Zhao Yi, but seeing the number of the Yellow Turban Army, this idea was immediately dispelled, and his two thousand soldiers rushed into the 50,000 army, and I was afraid that only one face would be annihilated.

The county guard was impassionedly telling that it was not that he didn't want to stop the Yellow Turban Army, but the county's troops were weak, and he had no ambition to serve the country, but he was unable to achieve it.

At this time, the messenger came to report: "My lord, there is a prisoner car in the county, and the escort officer wants to stay in my Wei County for one night." ”

The county guard and Zhao Yizheng said that they were happy, and they said that this kind of trivial matter would also come to inform me, and waved their hands very casually: "Let the county lieutenant watch and arrange it." ”

The messenger swallowed his saliva and glanced at Zhao Yi and Liu Bei: "My lord, the prisoner learned that Lord Zhao and Lord Liu came to Wei County and asked to see each other. ”

The county guard frowned slightly: "Lord Zhao and Lord Liu are busy with official business, how can they have time to meet a prisoner." Prisoners were quickly put into prison. ”

Zhao Yi's eyes flashed when he heard the words of the errand officer, who was the prisoner who was familiar with himself and Liu Bei? Zhao Yi suddenly thought of a person and beckoned to the errand officer: "Hurry up and lead the way." ”

Liu Bei's three brothers also hurriedly followed, and the county guard drank all the wine in the bronze jue, and said that the prisoner actually made Zhao Yi's face change greatly, and he was curious to follow and take a look.

The person locked in the prisoner car is naturally Lu Zhi, this loyal general seems to be a lot older at this time, and the reason why Lu Zhi was convicted is already known to Liu Bei and Zhao Yi.

Lu Zhi led the army to besiege Zhang Jiao, and it only took one battle to annihilate it. At this time, he received a decree from the imperial court, saying that he avoided the enemy without fighting, neglected the morale of the army, and escorted him back to the capital to punish the crime.

"I knew that today, I should have killed that eunuch in the first place." Zhang Fei said angrily, "The general is upright and loyal, how can he suffer such a great humiliation." As he spoke, he pulled out the sword in his hand and planned to kill the escort soldiers and release Lu Zhi.

These soldiers were ordered by the emperor to escort Lu Zhi into Beijing and kill these people, but it was a great crime of rebellion. Liu Bei hurriedly stopped: "The third brother can't be like this, the court must have a public opinion." ”

Zhang Fei hatefully put the long sword into the scabbard, staring at the escort soldiers' eyes flashing. Lu Zhi has been loyal to the country all his life, and if Zhang Fei robs the prisoner at this time, not only will he be unable to escape the death penalty, but he will also ruin Lu Zhi's reputation.

Zhao Yi took out some silver money and handed it to the escorting soldiers: "I have known General Lu Zhi for a long time, this separation, I don't know when, can the envoy open the shackles and let the general drink a few glasses of water and wine with us." If something goes wrong in the middle, I'll be responsible for it alone. ”

Lu Zhi glanced at Zhao Yi deeply, this is the real daring.

These solutions saw that Lu Zhi was released for the sake of money.

When several people entered the house, Lu Zhi drank a glass of wine and sighed with emotion: "If I had listened to what Bolai said that day, I would not have the disaster I have today." ”

Zhao Yi understood Lu Zhi's mood at the beginning, at that time, Guangzong was successful, Lu Zhi made great contributions, in the face of Zuo Feng's bribery, Lu Zhi was upright in nature, and Lu Zhi did not put Zuo Feng in his eyes at all. thinks that his own credit is not something that Zuo Feng can erase in a few words. But he was wrong and miscalculated the power of the eunuchs. led to today's end.

Zhao Yi asked how Dong Zhuo was leading the army at present.

Speaking of Dong Zhuo, Lu Zhi hated it even more, and when the Qin sent to the camp to announce the decree, it was this Dong Zhuo who testified against his crimes. "Dong Zhuo is mean and unkind, and his march is unorganized, how can he be Zhang Jiao's opponent."

Knowing that Zhao Yi assisted Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun to break Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, Lu Zhi's face showed a rare joy: "Bolai is really a rare general, and my decision that day was not wrong." If you are left in the army, it will be controlled by Dong Zhuo at this time. ”

In fact, when Zuo Feng left, Zhao Yi already knew Lu Zhi's ending, otherwise he would not have borrowed troops from Lu Zhi to transport the prisoners back. As for going to Yingchuan, there is no way, Dong Zhuo and Zhao Yi are as deep as the sea, if Zhao Yi is under Dong Zhuo's control, wouldn't his life be in danger at any time.
