Chapter Ninety-Five: The Nanyang Mutiny (First Update)

In any case, so many people joined the Yellow Turban Army, so Zhang Mancheng felt that the general trend had been achieved, so he led a large army to besiege the county of Nanyang County.

originally thought that he had an internal response and could quickly occupy Wancheng, but he didn't want to be seen through by Taishou Chu Gong, but was used by him, so that Zhang Mancheng's Yellow Turban Army was deceived, and he lost his troops in the first battle.

However, in the end, there is a huge difference in strength, the Yellow Turban Army has an absolute superiority in strength, after more than 20 days of hard fighting, the Han army defending the city has no reinforcements outside, no food and grass inside, and finally lost everything, and was broken through the city by the Yellow Turban Army.

Originally, Zhang Mancheng was angry and wanted to slaughter the city, but Tang Zhou and others persuaded each other hard to give up the slaughter, but after the Yellow Turban Army entered the city, the military discipline was corrupted, and they still plundered to their heart's content.

Such a human tragedy was frequently staged in the counties of Nanyang captured by the Yellow Turban Army, and poor Nanyang County had a population of more than 2.4 million, known as the first county in the world.

Hearing that the person in front of the horse was Chu Gong, Zhang Mancheng took out his sword and pointed at Chu Gong, "Old horseman, you have refused my heavenly soldiers for more than 20 days, have you ever thought about the day when the city is broken and captured?" If you don't surrender quickly, you won't die! ”

Chu Gong spit out a mouthful of bloody phlegm in front of Zhang Mancheng's horse, no one restrained him at this time, he sorted out his official uniform, and replied proudly: "Phew, you are a chaotic minister and thief, everyone will be punished." My Han world is eternal, how can you jumping clowns be able to shake it? Big husband, death is death, why be afraid? ”

"What a strong person, what's the use of keeping you?" Zhang Mancheng raised his sword and cut off Chu Gong's head, "Come on, hang it at the city gate to show the public!" Generals, follow me into the city, and you will not return tonight if you are not drunk. ”

Immediately, everyone set up a celebration banquet in the lobby of the Taishou Mansion, and Zhang Mancheng's cronies brought all the prostitutes in the official prostitute camp in the city to the hall, and the leaders hugged each other left and right, and they were not happy!

At the banquet, Tang Zhou took advantage of Zhang Mancheng's happiness and brought up the old matter again, "Senior Brother Mancheng, the great sage and good teacher have sent another letter urging us to lead the army north as soon as possible to reinforce Guangzong, you see, Wancheng has fallen, and the general trend of Nanyang has been decided, should we also be ready to leave?" ”

Zhang Mancheng drank a glass of Chinese wine, wiped his mouth on the beautiful girl beside him, and replied without paying attention: "What's the hurry, the army has been fighting hard for days, and it is not easy to take Wancheng, so you have to rest for a few days?" ”

"Besides, didn't I hear that Lu Zhizhi's prisoner car was pulled back to Luoyang, and the successor Dong Zhuo also fell for the second general's strategy, and the official army was defeated repeatedly, and Jizhou is the nest of our Taiping Dao for many years, the land of righteousness, hundreds of thousands of troops in hand, what is the urgency of the great sages and good teachers?"

Tang Zhou smiled bitterly: "What the senior brother said is old news, according to the latest news, Lu Bu of Bingzhou has sent troops to suppress the righteous army in Jizhou, and he has won successive battles. ”

"Although the three generals shot and wounded Gao Shun, the general of the Bingzhou Army, in Gaoyi, who would have thought that Lu Bu would dare to rush to the aid of the starry night, interspersed with Taihang Mountain for thousands of miles, broke through the camp of the Black Mountain Army, and set up an ambush in the gall pottery, and completely annihilated the entire army of General Zhang Liang, and the three generals have been martyred."

Hearing the news of Zhang Liang's death, the hall was silent, and Zhang Mancheng seemed to be sober up a little, and he bombarded all the prostitutes in the hall. only then turned to Tang Zhou. "Senior brother, is this true?"

"Senior brother, the younger brother just received the messenger from Jizhou yesterday, it is true, so the situation in Jizhou is critical, and the great sage and good teacher are in a hurry to employ people."

After all, Zhang Mancheng is the three Zhang Jiao brothers, the earliest believers, and he is still relatively devout to the morality of Taiping Dao, and he is also loyal to Zhang Jiao.

Although he has been thriving in Nanyang over the years, he is still in awe of Zhang Jiao and Taiping Dao. Now that I heard that Zhang Jiao's situation was critical, he was anxious to wait for reinforcements from all walks of life, and he also had a little heart to go to Jizhou to show off.

Look at the eight-way envoy sent by your Zhang Jiao Zhang Tianshi, the thirty-six square Qu Shuai, who is the best now, and the most loyal is still me, Zhang Mancheng.

Zhang Mancheng had the heart to lead the army north to aid Jizhou, but the Yellow Turban generals under the hall, especially Zhao Hong, Han Zhong, Sun Xia and others, were mostly natives of Nanyang.

Now that Nanyang is developing vigorously, each has tens of thousands of troops and occupies several counties, it is the ambition that swells, and he plans to do a big job, how can he stay away from his homeland and send people to a thousand miles of Zhang Jiao who has never known him?

Since they have spoken out against it and put forward various reasons, Tang Zhou has already received Li Su's instructions, and he has been persuading each other bitterly, urging Zhang Mancheng to go north.

Zhang Mancheng realized that Zhao Hong, Han Zhong and others had stiffened their wings, and they dared to oppose him in public, and no longer obeyed their orders as before, and obeyed their words.

There is also Tang Zhou's fanning of the flames on the side, but he has already killed these people, and Zhang Mancheng, who can sit on the throne of Qu Shuai, is certainly not a good man and a woman.

Zhao Hong, Han Zhong and others are not all wine bags and rice bags, they can see clearly, Zhang Mancheng's face is cloudy, they have followed Zhang Mancheng for a long time, and they know him well.

Seeing that he had made a killing move, they pretended to be soft, and promised to go north with Zhang Mancheng, but they needed to go back and prepare for it, and they could only leave tomorrow.

Zhang Mancheng relented for a while, and there was no excuse to kill the killer, so he allowed the generals to return to the camp to prepare.

After everyone left, Tang Zhou was so anxious that he stomped his feet, "Senior brother, why did you let them go?" You're letting the tiger go back to the mountain! Zhao Hong's generation is a capricious villain, and he will definitely fight back, and no one will kill the tiger, so you have to make a decision early! ”

Zhang Mancheng also regretted it a little, but the generals had already left the city, "Senior brother, you have always been in a hurry, what do you say we should do now?" ”

"Senior Brother Mancheng, I conclude that after Zhao Hong and the others go back, they will definitely collude with each other, and they will come to steal the city before dawn, we can ambush an elite army in the city, and the army will quietly go out of the city and ambush outside the four gates."

"When Zhao Hong and the others come to attack the city and entangle with the ambush soldiers in the city, we will break their camp, and then surround them on all sides, and we will be completely destroyed in one fell swoop."

"Clever plan, the junior brother really has the wisdom of the ovary, just act according to the strategy of the junior brother, and let Liao Hua lead the army if the elite soldiers in ambush in the city." Zhang Mancheng was very satisfied with Tang Zhou's clever plan.

As everyone knows, all this planning was done by Li Su's secret envoy beside Tang Zhou, and Tang Zhou didn't know what the secret envoy looked like, because he always wore a bronze mask with a tiger's head, and it was this person who captured Ma Yuanyi in the first place.

Unexpectedly, this person was both civil and military, he expected that Zhang Mancheng would fall out with Zhao Hong and others, so he taught Tang Zhou a set of verbal strategies before, and sure enough, they came true one by one, Tang Zhou was more convinced of Li Su and others, and did not dare to have the slightest rebellious heart.
