Chapter 49: The Defeat of the Long Society 3
Because the situation was still critical, Yun Ya'er and Du Yuan went back to Changshe, and the official army had really chased away, and the fire was a little weaker. The two of them went into the ruins to see what had been left behind, and they could find the whereabouts of Bocai.
As a result, after going around, except for some burnt black blades stuck in the ground, it was already a scorched earth, and the original appearance of these objects could be seen anywhere. Du Yuan said to Yun Ya'er: "Now that Bocai has been defeated, it is difficult to gain a foothold in Yingchuan, if we find it, we can only flee with it, it is better to continue to go north, go directly to Guangzong, and join General Tiangong." "This Tiangong General was the self-proclaimed name when Zhang Jiao raised his army, and Du Yuan's meaning was already obvious.
It's just that Zhang Jiao is now rejecting Guangzong from the official army, and Yanzhou has not been captured by the Yellow Turban, so there must be many difficulties along the way. Not to mention the man-made disasters of the mountain bandits, officials and soldiers, even supplies are difficult to find, and if they suffer from disease due to water and soil, it will be even more difficult. The two of them must not be able to go with the army, but they can camp on the spot, and staying at night is also a problem. Yun Ya'er naturally didn't dare to agree.
After all, the two couldn't hold each other, and they didn't know how to move forward for the time being, and finally when the fire was completely extinguished, they simply found a safe place to rest, and waited for the next day to be bright and their vision was wide before making plans.
The next day, as soon as the sky was slightly bright, Du Yuan woke up Yun Ya'er and went north as soon as possible. It turned out that officers and soldiers passed by at night, but because the ruins were lifeless, they did not search again, and hurriedly went to the west or south, but there were not many people to the north. Du Yuan expected that the official army would win a big victory and was taking advantage of the victory to pursue, and the battle in Yanzhou was not in a hurry, so he concentrated his forces to attack Runan first and pursue Bocai.
Although Liao Hua had already worried about this matter, there were very few people in the Yellow Turban who were familiar with the art of war, and they were finally attacked by the joint efforts of the officials and troops, and they were defeated. In addition to admiring the good fighting of the officers and soldiers, Yun Yaer can only sigh that the yellow scarf's momentum is like a rainbow and the fashion can't be in one go, and now it's the turn of the officers and soldiers to boost their morale, and the remaining yellow scarves can only be slaughtered like a candle in the wind.
The more this is the case, the more Du Yuan urges Yun Ya'er to hurry north, and it is the top priority to obtain his book while Zhang Jiao has not yet been caught, and as for the life or death of the yellow scarf, he no longer cares.
Now, although he is concerned about the safety of Runan Chuque, he can only comfort himself that Gong Du is not a yellow turban and should be able to escape the arrest of the official army. In addition, even if you save yourself, you won't be able to set off any waves. And Nanyang Zhang Mancheng, with hundreds of thousands of troops and good governance, should be able to delay for a while, it is better to hurry up and go north with Du Yuan.
Although the two of them were on foot, they were also accustomed to long journeys, but the speed of their feet could not be compared with that of horses, and they picked a sparsely populated road, and the progress of the north was really slow.
Accidentally came to a sloping valley, only to see thousands of yellow scarves resting here, the banner on the words "Digong General", it turned out to be Zhang Jiao's brother Zhang Bao's department. It's just that I heard that the three Zhang Jiao brothers started an incident in Jizhou, why is Zhang Bao here now, and it seems that he fled in a rout, Yun Yaer can only think of the battle of Changshe.
However, Du Yuan didn't care why Zhang Bao was here, but he thought that he had finally found someone to rely on again, and hurriedly asked Yun Ya'er to step forward together. The person who guarded the guard called the two of them, and they also had a Jingxiang accent, and they couldn't believe it at first, but after learning that Yun Ya'er called himself Liao Hua, he suddenly changed his words, saying that he was going to report it.
After a while, I saw a person behind the guard, who only had a bun on the top of his head, and the rest of his hair was scattered on his shoulders, wearing an earthy yellow robe, looking like a heavenly master, similar to the old man in Yun Ya'er's dream, but much younger. As soon as he saw Yun Ya'er, he raised his hands to greet him, quite politely, "I heard that Liao Fang will be brave and strategic, and he is really a loyal and righteous person. ”
After hearing a lot of compliments, Yun Ya'er was no longer smug, but because he knew that what he said was not himself, he became modest, "Liao just did something within his bounds, but he didn't dare to take it, presumably this is the general of the earth, right?" Then he bowed his hand, more politely than the treasure
After some greetings, Zhang Bao noticed that only the two of them were coming, so he asked why, Yun Yaer had to tell Zhang Mancheng that he refused to join the army to go north, and he had to lead the army alone, but it was still too late, and Zhang Bao was told about the dispersal of the official army. Zhang Bao sighed and also told him about his defeat.
It turned out that relying only on the strategy of Bocai was not enough to defeat the official army, and they have been unable to hold each other. After Zhang Jiao heard that Zhang Mancheng had captured Wancheng, he thought it was a good time, so he secretly sent Zhang Bao to help Bocai, so as to connect the yellow turbans of various states in one fell swoop and echo each other.
However, before Huangfu Song was captured, Bo Cai was already proud and complacent, thinking that Huangfu Song did not dare to open the city to face the battle, did not listen to Zhang Bao's advice, and set up camp. As a result, Huangfu Song went out of the city overnight to attack and attack, and before the battle, most of the dead and wounded were killed and wounded, and the army was defeated. Bo Cai knew that he had no face to face Zhang Jiao again, so in order to cover Zhang Bao's escape back to Guangzong to join Zhang Jiao, he led the army to Yangzhai to attract the official army. Only then was Zhang Bao able to breathe here, and then think about the way to go north.
And judging from Zhang Bao's tone, although he has never seen Liao Hua, he really appreciates him, not a compliment, so he is not blamed for his defeat. Du Yuan on the side was blamed several times, and he was quite dissatisfied in his heart, but because of Zhang Bao's identity, he didn't dare to attack.
Then, Zhang Bao invited the two of them to go with the army to support Zhang Jiao, which was in line with Du Yuan's intentions, and immediately dissipated the anger in his heart and nodded again and again. The two finally found support again, and they could go north smoothly. It's just that the two of them are guest generals, although they still receive the duties of large and small generals, but they no longer have half of their subordinates, and they are no different from the previous step knife hands, nothing more than being able to live in a single account, but it is just an ordinary small account.
After a few days with the army, in order to avoid the discovery of the officers and soldiers, Zhang Bao did not take the ordinary road, nor did he pick a convenient path, but took the place where there was no road, and this trip was even more difficult. And it deliberately entered the border of Sili, away from Henan and Yan'erzhou, and headed straight to the northeast. The officers and soldiers were busy exterminating the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in various places, and did not set up additional checkpoints in Sili, so the trip was much easier than when they were in Yingchuan.
In a blink of an eye, I came to Chaoge, and I was about to enter the border of Jizhou. In order to prevent being ambushed, Zhang Bao ordered to lurk in the forest in the west, and after finding out the surrounding situation, he found an open place to station, and attacked Chaoge in a hurry, attacking the east and the west with sound. The official army will definitely think that Zhang Jiao has attacked here, and they will definitely send Jizhou troops and horses to help, attract the official army, and then wait for the opportunity to go back to Jizhou.
This Zhang Bao is really better at fighting than Pei Yuanshao and others, but there are still drawbacks to this method, in case the official army dispatches elite soldiers and good generals, only light cavalry is used to chase after him. And Zhang Bao's people are mainly infantry, only a thousand people, I am afraid that it will be difficult to fight, Yun Ya'er persuaded him not to startle the snake, be careful.
