Chapter Seventy-Two: Preparation
"Tell the general, the Yellow Turban Army of the battalion has been completely wiped out!" A lieutenant reported.
"The army is divided into three routes, go to the other three battalions, and General Zuo Zhonglang will soon lead the army to arrive." Not long ago, Lu Zhi and Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song returned to the south, Lu Zhi personally led an army of 70,000 against Zhang Jiao's 300,000 Yellow Turban main force, and Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song each led 15,000 troops to Yingchuan to deal with Bocai with the Eighth Captain of Xiyuan.
Huangfu Song found that although Bocai was still struggling to support at the junction of Yingchuan and Sili, his logistical supplies could not bypass the Changshe, so the plan for a raid on the Changshe began.
About half an hour later, more than 20,000 Han soldiers led by Huangfu Song appeared outside the city of Changshe, and the battle came to a complete end.
"Tell Qu Shuai, the long society has fallen!" A herald dismounted and came to Bo Cai.
"What? With an army of 5,000 people, how could it fall so easily? Bo Cai was a little skeptical, and after speaking, he glared at the herald and said, "It must be you who are fake news, you are a meticulous work of the Han army, right?" Come on, take it. ”
"The general spared his life, the small one was under the command of Captain Li who was stationed in Changshe, and the Han army that raided Changshe was led by Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, and almost all the 5,000 people who stayed in Changshe were killed." The herald hurriedly said.
"Slow! Are you saying that Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song are here? Bo Cai's face was full of solemnity, the Changshe was too important to him, and if he lost the Changshe, his army of nearly 100,000 would lose supplies and become a turtle in the urn.
"Tell the army to prepare to retreat south!" Bocai ordered with an ugly face.
Guangzong and Zhang Jiao had already withdrawn their troops here, and Lu Zhi had also arrived close behind.
"How many armies have not been withdrawn to Gwangjong!" Zhang Jiao asked.
"Tell the great sage and good teacher, General Digong is already less than twenty miles away from Guangzong, and General Rengong borrowed the road from Anping State, and now he is still entering Julu!" The 300,000 army naturally cannot retreat together, otherwise the 300,000 rabble will not be in a mess, Zhang Jiao personally led 100,000 people to contain Lu Zhi from the front, Zhang Liang led 50,000 troops to withdraw from the south to Julu, Zhang Bao led 50,000 troops from the north of Anping to retreat to Guangzong, and several other generals led tens of thousands of people to retreat.
Anpingguo, Zhang Bao really didn't resist the temptation, the counties of Jizhou are quite rich, and Anpingguo is naturally no exception, but there is not only one Zhang Jiao who participated in the plunder, but also the army led by two other Yellow Turban generals, plus nearly 100,000 people under Zhang Bao's department.
Raoyang, this is the northernmost county of Anping Kingdom, where a large army is stationed.
"Big brother, it has been found out that this Yellow Turban Army in Anping Country is led by Zhang Bao, and the number is about 100,000!" Guan Yu said to Yao Jie.
Yao Jie's 100,000-strong army traveled day and night, and finally entered the country of Anping, and is now resting in Raoyang.
"This treasure is asking for money! The main forces of the Yellow Turban have all withdrawn to Guangzong, and he still has the leisure to loot here! Yao Jie said thoughtfully.
"Maybe he thinks that Bei Zhonglang has been restrained by Zhang Jiao, and he can rest assured that he can plunder Anping Kingdom." Guan Yu said with a smile.
"Since this piece of fat has been sent to the door, how can I let it go, and order the army to go to Tangyang, I will close the door and beat the dog."
"General, the masked man from before has woken up, and he wants to see you!" A soldier reported.
"Oh? Ben will go to see him, if Ben will remember correctly, the second person should seem to be a chivalrous man, right? Yao Jie said as he walked.
"Lord, the martial arts of the second person don't want to belong to the battlefield, he should be a chivalrous warrior, the Yellow Turban Army was chasing and killing him at the time, it seems that he is a good thing for the Yellow Turban Army!" Yang Hu on the side replied.
Soon Yao Jie was brought to a tent, and the masked man's spirit was obviously not particularly good, he should have just woken up not long ago.
"I heard that you are going to see me, and I am the general of this army!" Yao Jie looked at the face that had been covered again.
"My name is Lu Lin, the word is different, I don't like to owe favors, you have saved my life, I will definitely repay you." Lu Lin said intermittently.
"You'd better take care of your injuries, how can you repay me like this!" Yao Jie said with a smile, suddenly, he remembered that he seemed to lack an organization specifically responsible for intelligence, although he had initially had a little role in collecting intelligence by relying on his industry, but it was obviously not very formal, and a person was needed to be responsible for management, Lulin's martial arts were not suitable for battlefield fighting, but suitable for all kinds of assassination fights, it was considered this material, if he found a way to subdue him, he could be cultivated in this area in the future.
"No, I don't owe favors to Lulin, if you save my life, I will pay you back in the future!" Lu Lin held on to the edge of the bed and wanted to get up.
Yao Jie hurriedly held him down and said: "You better lie down, this general has evil to protect Yang Hu, and there are 100,000 troops, how many people do you think can threaten me, and I don't have anyone who needs to be assassinated, how are you going to return this life." Yao Jie has obviously started to trick Lulin, and now he lacks talents in this area, with such a good opportunity, Yao Jie doesn't want to lose a capable subordinate because he pretends to be cold.
Lu Lin thought for a moment, and quickly answered, and his answer did not disappoint Yao Jie, "Then I will give you my life, you will be my lord of Lu Lin in the future, you let me die, I won't blink an eye." Lu Lin's emotions were obviously a little excited, and he seemed to have pulled the wound, and for a while Lu Lin took a breath of cold air in pain, and then coughed continuously.
"That's it, you take care of your injuries first, and when your injuries are healed, I have an important matter that needs to be handed over to you to do!" After Yao Jie finished speaking, he turned around and left.
"Yes, my lord!" Lu Lin's covered face actually showed a hint of a smile, what he didn't know was that Yao Jie's face was also full of smiles, he originally thought that he would have to waste a lot of trouble, but he didn't expect to subdue a subordinate so easily.
"Could it be that I also have the so-called Wang Ba's qi in me?" Yao Jie, who returned to the camp, took out the bronze mirror and said, and found that he was still like this, and it was still so blurry on the bronze mirror, if someone could compare Yao Jie who had just crossed the time and Yao Jie now, he would find that Yao Jie obviously had a killing spirit and the bearing of a superior who had been in the army for a long time, Yao Jie had changed so much in just over a year, which is also related to his experience. And Yao Jie has been a general and a taishou for so long, and his official authority has naturally gradually cultivated.
