The banner sewn with gold thread, the dust can't hide its brilliance, Liu Bei and the others naturally saw it: "Why is Dong Zhuo's official army so defeated!" ”

That night, although Lu Zhi said that Dong Zhuo was not Zhang Jiao's opponent, Liu Bei didn't think so, even though Dong Zhuo's ability was not as good as Zhang Jiao's, but he had the team laid down by Lu Zhi, and the Yellow Turban Army had lost several battles in a row, as long as Dong Zhuo rushed to kill step by step, he would definitely be able to annihilate Zhang Jiao.

But seeing the banner in the Yellow Turban Army embroidered with the four big characters of "General Tiangong" flying in the wind, Liu Bei had to admit that Lu Zhi expected it to be good, Dong Zhuo was really not Zhang Jiao's opponent.

Zhang Fei had a very bad impression of Dong Zhuo, and saw that Zhao Yi had plans to save Dong Zhuo, so he hurriedly spoke: "Dong Zhuo is insidious and vicious, it's good to let the Yellow Turban Army kill him." Because of Lu Zhi's matter, Zhang Fei looked down on Dong Zhuo from the bottom of his heart, and wanted to kill Dong Zhuo, but because he was now wearing an official uniform, Zhang Fei was not easy to do. At this time, watching Dong Zhuo fend for himself can also reduce the anger in Zhang Fei's heart.

Zhao Yi shook his head: "We can ignore Dong Zhuo's life or death, but those soldiers are innocent, including not only Dong Zhuo's soldiers, but also General Lu's soldiers, we can't see death without help." ”

Liu Bei agreed with Zhao Yi's idea and waved his soldiers to get ready.

Seeing that the time was almost up, under the command of Zhao Yi, 13,000 soldiers rushed straight down, stabbing obliquely towards Zhang Jiaozhong's army.

Zhang Jiao's department was already tired after a night of killing, and as soon as he came into contact with Zhao Yi's department at this time, he was immediately at a disadvantage. Zhang Jiao's camp was shaken by the impact of Zhao Yi's soldiers and horses.

Zhang Jiao stared at Zhao Yi Jingqi coldly, gritted his teeth and said, "It's Zhao Yi again!" "Compared with Zhao Yi's elite soldiers, his own soldiers are slightly inferior, but fortunately, Dong Zhuo's troops killed this time were defeated, and they were considered victorious. Restrain the rushing horses: "Retreat!" ”

Watching the Yellow Turban Army leave, Zhao Yi did not order to chase after him, and the two sides did not fight for long, but Zhao Yi also saw the difference between these Yellow Turban Army, and if he fought to the death, his troops would win, but they would also have to pay a heavy price.

Dong Zhuo was a little surprised by Zhao Yi's help, but also a little grateful. drove the horse to Zhao Yi, and for the first time sincerely bowed his hand to Zhao Yi: "Thanks to General Zhao's help, otherwise our department will be annihilated by the Yellow Turban Thief." Dong used to treat General Zhao so much, but General Zhao treated me like this, which really embarrassed me. ”

Hearing Dong Zhuo's words, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Yi's mouth: "General Dong is polite, even if I am dissatisfied with General Dong, I don't want General Dong to be broken by the Yellow Turban Thief." ”

Dong Zhuo looked at the more than 5,000 soldiers behind him, shook his head and sighed, he originally wanted to make a contribution, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

Zhao Yi felt that the Yellow Turban Army under Zhang Jiao's department seemed to be more difficult to deal with than before, so he asked Dong Zhuo what was going on.

Don't talk about Zhao Yi, Dong Zhuo can't figure out what's going on. The Yellow Turban Army, which was like sheep before, turned into hungry wolves after a few hours. If it weren't for this, Dong Zhuo would not have suffered such a big defeat.

Dong Zhuo's troops were defeated, and he personally reported the situation to the imperial court, and camped here to wait for the imperial court's instructions.

And Zhao Yi and Liu Bei's department did not stay here for long. I planned to follow the traces left by the Yellow Turban Army to continue to chase, but was stopped by Liu Bei: "In today's battle, the morale of the Yellow Turban Army has increased greatly, and Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang have come here, our number is too small, if we are surrounded by three Yellow Turban Army, our army will definitely be defeated." Liu Bei's guess is also reasonable.

Zhao Yi's department is a day's journey away from Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun's army, if it is surrounded by these three Yellow Turban troops, Zhao Yi's department is more than lucky. Especially after today's battle, Liu Bei saw that the strength of the Yellow Turban Army had increased a lot, and his more than 10,000 soldiers were shuttling and walking in the 100,000 Yellow Turban Army, and he could not be defeated.

Moreover, the Yellow Turban Army has a great hatred for Zhao Yi, nearly half of the Yellow Turban elite died because of Zhao Yi, if Zhao Yi is surrounded, the Yellow Turban Army will attack desperately.

Liu Bei meant that Zhao Yi understood that he wanted to wait for Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun. Zhao Yi groped his chin and thought for a while, and agreed with Liu Bei's suggestion: "Brother Xuande is reasonable, our army should not go deep in the lone army, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang ransacked the village along the way, and also subdued a lot of rogues, and the troops in their hands at this time are nearly ten times that of us." "And these three people are the heads of Taiping Dao, and now they are meeting here, which will definitely make the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Youzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou and other places come to cling.

Zhao Yi's department was camped next to Dong Zhuo, with Zhao Yi guarding beside him, Dong Zhuo's soldiers slept very peacefully, and they fell asleep not long after lying down, relieving the fatigue of running all night. Victory or defeat in a great battle made little difference to the lowest soldiers in the barracks. It is the general's business to win the victory in the war and get rich, and a soldier will only be promoted to a knighthood unless he has special military merits, otherwise he can only drink two more cups at the celebration banquet. As for the defeat, it is also a matter of command of the generals, and it has nothing to do with the small soldiers. Regardless of victory or defeat, as long as there is still life, the creeps will sleep carefree and peacefully.

But as a general, especially Dong Zhuo, who still lost the battle, tonight is the longest night, and his brilliant future has come to naught.

On the mountain eighty miles away from here, Zhang Jiao's department was resting and recuperating his troops, and Zhang Jiao won a complete victory in this battle, Dong Zhuo had more than 30,000 soldiers, and in the end there were less than 6,000 left, but his side also lost nearly 20,000 people.

Although the losses were heavy, the Yellow Turban Army was very excited, and for the first time since the battle with the imperial army, it was the first time that they had won a big victory, and Zhang Jiao and several lieutenants had a small celebration banquet in the camp tent.

The adjutant general didn't know how much wine he drank, and his face turned red: "My lord, this battle is the battle with the largest number of annihilated officers and troops since our uprising." "The three main forces that attacked the Yellow Turban Army perished one, and the hope of victory rose in the hearts of these people.

"Why was the Lord sure that we would win a complete victory before the battle?" An adjutant asked curiously.

Zhang Jiao smiled mysteriously: "The main reason is that the mentality of our soldiers has changed, we are either weaker than the officers and soldiers, or we lack the courage to fight hard." "People can always exert extraordinary potential in desperate situations, Zhang Jiao used only words to force those soldiers into a desperate situation, and instilled a sentence in the soldiers, if you don't defeat the officers and soldiers, you will die without a place to bury. Naturally, these soldiers fought hard.

Zhang Jiao's health was not good, and after drinking a few glasses, he stood up: "Although our army won, don't take it lightly, although Dong Zhuo's department has been defeated by our department, Zhao Yi is here." Zhao Yi's troops have more than 10,000 people, although the number is less than ours, but under Zhao Yi's command, I am afraid it will not be worse than the army of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun. We need to be doubly careful. At the same time, what made Zhang Jiao jealous was the speed of Zhao Yila's team, and when he came back and forth in Yingchuan, the number of troops doubled, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers was amazing.

Speaking of Zhao Yi, the excitement of these lieutenant generals suddenly converged: "Lord, although Zhao Yi's department is the elite of the official army, Zhao Yi has committed a taboo and is alone in the army. If we unite the two generals of Digong and Rengong, encircle them in three directions, and gather 100,000 Yellow Turban troops, we will definitely be able to annihilate Zhao Yi's troops. ”

The deputy generals applauded, but Zhang Jiao smiled bitterly: "At this time, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang don't know where they are, how to besiege Zhao Yi, and the news has just come from Tanma, Zhao Yi's department has already set up camp at noon, and it seems that they will not go north." ”

Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang did not arrive, and Zhao Yi stopped going north. These two necessary conditions are not available at present, and the deputy general can only sigh.

At this time, news came from Tanma: "The lord, the earth lord, and the general of the people have arrived ten miles away." ”

This news made Zhang Jiao's face look happy, although Zhang Jiao didn't say much on the surface after the battle of Changshe, he still cared about the safety of his two younger brothers in his heart. At this time, when I heard the news of my brother's arrival, my heart finally let go.

Zhang Jiao went to greet him in person, and Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang saw Zhang Jiao hurriedly kneeling down to greet him: "Big brother, the two of us have lost the Changshe Society, and countless brothers have been killed and injured, please punish the eldest brother." This is clearly not a plea for sin, but a plea for mercy. If you plead guilty, you will not use the title of big brother, but you should call Zhang Jiao a general, so that it is official.

This eldest brother, who contains the affection of flesh and blood, made it difficult for Zhang Jiao to punish the two younger brothers, and personally helped the two younger brothers up. Comforting: "Second brother, third brother, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers." I've already figured out the matter, it's not your problem, it's that Zhao Yi is too cunning. ”

Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang raised their heads with a guilty face, and followed Zhang Jiao to the camp, since the uprising, the three brothers got together for the first time, before the uprising, the three brothers discussed how to revolt, how to overthrow this decadent dynasty.

At this time, we met to discuss how to make a comeback.

"You and my brothers control more than half of the Yellow Turban Army's army, but they have been defeated by the official army one after another, resulting in the loss of the elite. There are many lessons to be learned. As we learn from our experiences, we also need to think about how we will behave in the future. "The three Zhang Jiao brothers have all lost battles before, and they have all been defeated by the same person.

Zhang Jiao fought with Zhao Yi once and was almost killed by Zhao Yi. Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang's situation is almost the same as Zhang Jiao's, they also escaped from the death.

On the way here, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang discussed this issue: "Big brother, although our large army was wiped out by the official army, in addition to those soldiers who were captured and reorganized by the official army, there were also a large number of soldiers who fled in several groups after losing the battle. I think as long as the three of us call out, those people will come back again. But there's one more thing that's very difficult here. ”

Zhang Jiao had already guessed the question that Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were worried about: "What are you talking about the military heart? ”

"What the eldest brother said is that when we revolted a few months ago, we were invincible. But in the fight with the officers and troops, we couldn't even go for a round, and we were almost annihilated by the officers and troops. As a result, many of our subordinates have lost confidence in us, and if we want to win their hearts again, we must defeat the officials and troops once in a dignified manner. ”
