Lu Ping and Cheng Qi said yes again and again, Qiu Yi looked up at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, and sighed to himself: I have no desires, no desires, no joy and no sorrow, and yearn for the suitable life of hermits in the mountains and forests, so that I can be as calm as water in these many days, and not be disturbed by external objects. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info the outside is dirty, but my heart is noble. But today, after this incident, I finally became a mortal and became a desire and desire.

People say that life is desireless and rigid, and everything is not afraid. In the future, I will also have desires, and I wonder how many troubles will come to my door. However, the path is one's own choice, and no matter what, you have to face it directly.

Qiu Yi turned his face and smiled: "Lu Ping, you can hide the golden cake." Cheng Qi, are you going back to recuperate? Or do you want to go around with me? ”

Lu Ping laughed and said, "Don't worry, master, I will definitely hide it well." ”

Cheng Qi also smiled: "What is this little injury worth, I will naturally go with the master to inspect the sentry." With that, the three of them laughed and walked away.

The war in Yunxian County is over, and the next thing is to deal with the aftermath of the war. The Zhaoling army rested in Yun County for five days, during which Gong Zhang picked out some fierce thieves from the captives and killed them, and all the other honest thieves were handed over to the county officials and soldiers who heard the news from Dingling and Linying counties. Yun County is dilapidated, and if it wants to return to its original state, I am afraid that in the future, many people will have to move from other counties in Yingchuan County to enrich it, and it will take decades for them to concentrate on development again.

Gong Zhang did not take all the seizures, only took one-third of the materials for military use, and left the rest in Yun County. After this round of chaos, presumably these county officials did not dare to go too far.

Ten days later, the army returned to Zhaoling again, and the Zhaoling army after a major battle was not the same as ten days ago. The momentum of the soldiers has calmed down a lot, and they know their own positions and responsibilities on the battlefield, and they can already be called a regular army, no longer a brave army.

That night, the army camped in the old camp outside Zhaoling City, and Gong Zhang summoned the generals above the army to discuss the next strategic plan. Runan County governs Pingyu County, with a total of 37 counties, with more than 600,000 households and a population of more than 3 million, accounting for one-twentieth of the population of the Han Dynasty, which can be described as the largest county in the world. Nanyang County, a large county with a population of 3 million, is the most elite part of the Han Dynasty, and it is stronger than other small states.

Runan County has fertile land and is rich in the world, so the literary style is extremely prosperous, and the families of Shihao in the county are the most in the world, and there are countless of them. However, it is precisely because of this that the burden of the people in the county is heavier, so there are many rebellions. Although most of the leaders of the Yellow Turbans were killed at the beginning, there were still people who went forward to rise one after another, and they couldn't be overwhelmed.

And because the thieves in Runan have no leader, the various departments are not very compatible. Since the uprising, there has been constant fighting among the various ministries. Therefore, the scope of the uprising was not expanded, and it was concentrated only in the eastern part of Runan County. Even so, there are still 16 counties in Runan County that have all fallen into the hands of the Yellow Turban thieves.

After two months of fighting, the Runan Yellow Turban thieves are now divided into five parts. Among them, He Yi and He Man brothers, who occupy the five counties of Chongyang, Gushi, Xincai, Xiang and Song in the central part of the country, are the strongest, with 70,000 soldiers. And Liu Pi, Gong Du, and Huang Shao, who occupied the six counties of Shansang, Chengfu, Sishan, Xiyang, Ruyin, and Shen, united with 60,000 troops. The other Wu Ba who owned Xinyang and Yilu counties, Qugong, Jianggong and Shen Chengbu who owned Fubo and Yuanlu counties, and Zhang Chibu who owned Qisi County, also led an army of 10,000 or 20,000 people each, and the momentum was not small.

Gong Zhang sat in the position of the chief general in the tent and asked, "Gentlemen, do you think that our army should take the thief as the primary target?" ”

Qiu Rui first said: "County Lord, although our army has experienced a war, the intensity of the war is not strong, and the soldiers under his command can hardly be called elite soldiers. If you want to challenge the giant thief, you may hit the stone with an egg, which is not the work of a wise man. Therefore, his subordinates thought that it was better to make a detour to Yiyang first, attack the Zhang Red Thief Department in Qisi County, and then attack Yuanlu and Fubo County. Then recruit the rebels, look at the situation, or attack Liu Pi, Gong Du, and Huang Shao in the east, or He Yi and He Man brothers in the west. ”

Ye Cun sneered: "I often hear that the young heroes Zhu and Qiu Erzi of Zhaoling, one brave and one wise, are all called ten thousand enemies. It's a pity that the Zhu family didn't see his bravery, and the Qiu family didn't see his wisdom today, which is really disappointing. ”

Zhu Mian said angrily: "Ye Jiyou, what do you mean?" ”

Ye Cun shook his head and said: "The Yellow Turban Thieves in Guanyun County know the actions of the Yellow Turban Thieves everywhere in Runan. The yellow turban moth thief is vicious and vicious, it can be said that there is no humanity, just like a flying locust, there is no trace of people everywhere it passes, and the bitter yellow turban moth thief in the sixteen eastern counties has been a long time. If there are brave and wise generals, they will take the people as their thoughts, quickly defeat the Yellow Turban Moth thief, and return the world to a bright future. Instead of thinking about it again and again, analyze the feelings of the enemy and me, and slowly advance and suppress. ”

After hearing this, everyone in the tent was solemn, Gong Zhangzheng straightened his figure, and asked: "This is a kind word of worrying about the country and the people, and there is a general, you are right." It's just that our army has only two thousand soldiers to fight, and even if it is one enemy and ten, it is difficult to break tens of thousands of thieves......"

Ye Cun arched his hand and shouted: "Gong Xianjun, although our army is small, but there are a lot of soldiers under the command of Zhao County, I heard that Zhao Qian's county guard has successively recruited no less than 10,000 elite soldiers in various counties. What is lacking is nothing more than a vanguard that a brave man can dominate. Our army is small but brave, and it happens to be the vanguard of the army......"

Ye Cun talked eloquently, but Gong Zhang listened quietly with an expressionless face. Although Ye Cunzhi's words are good, he doesn't know Gong Zhang's private thoughts.

Gong Zhang was dissatisfied with Zhao Qian, who had been guarding Zhao Qian for a long time, and Gong and Zhao were both classmates in the past, and Gong Zhang's academic talent was better than Zhao Qian. It's just that Gong Zhang's family is poor, his family is not high, and he has no nobles to help, so he has been wasting years in the post of county magistrate for many years. However, Zhao Qian's career has been smooth sailing, rising in a few years, and now he is the county guard of the largest county in the world. If you rise again, it will either be the assassin of Dazhou, or one of the nine kings in the court.

In the past two months, Zhao Qian has repeatedly recruited soldiers to summon the tomb, but they have all been blocked by Gong Zhang's excuse that the Yellow Turban thieves in Yingchuan Yunxian County are powerful. The He Yi and He Man brothers in the central part of Runan were controlled by Zhao Qian, and Liu Pi, Gong Du, and Huang Shao were restrained by Pei Guo's soldiers. In this way, according to Qiu Rui's strategy, it is the best policy to summon the Ling army to make a detour to Yiyang and attack the weak thieves first to accumulate their own strength.

Gong Zhang's case said: "The tens of thousands of troops in Pingyu have just merged, because they are not subordinate to each other, and it is difficult to dispatch left and right, if our army goes, I don't know how much time will be wasted. On the contrary, it is better to follow Qiu Rui's policy first, and first destroy the thieves of Qisi, Yuanlu, and Fubo counties. When the integration of the tens of thousands of troops in Pingyu is completed, it is not too late for our army to go to rendezvous. ”

Since the main general has made a decision, the generals will naturally obey the order, and early the next morning, they will turn south to Shangcai, pass through North Yichun, Shenyang, Anyang, Xinxishu County, and finally arrive in Yiyang County. All this way was a march across the county border under the rule of the imperial court, and the speed was relatively fast. And because a lot of cattle and horses were seized in Yun County to transport grain, grain and grass were bought or borrowed on the road, and the grain and grass were always kept in January, but there was no need to worry about grain and grass.

The army was approaching Si County, and Zhu Mian was squeezed by Ye Cun, so he went to Qiu Yi's Jiaqu in anger and personally opened the way for the army. The vanguard needs to be half a day's journey ahead of the army, and it is very troublesome to open the road in the mountains, build bridges in the water, visit the enemy, and charge into battle. When he went to Yun County, if there was no guidance from the veteran Che La, Qiu Yi might have made a mess. Unexpectedly, Zhu Mian was also a first-time leader, but he also arranged it properly. is really worthy of being a young hero, born to be called ten thousand enemies.

In Sixian County, Zhu Mian wanted to personally lead two horsemen and horses to approach the city to investigate the enemy's situation, but asked Qiu Yi, the candidate of the Qu army, to take the post of vanguard officer temporarily, and lead the men and horses of the first and second Qu to sweep and exterminate the scattered thieves outside the city of Si. In the end, he went to the city of Si to find its convergence. Qiu Yi persuaded him repeatedly, but Zhu Mian just didn't listen, and he had to let Ye Cun know the courage of the Zhu family.

Qiu Yi had no choice but to divide his troops in four ways, and quickly swept away the stragglers outside Qisi City, so as not to let these stragglers gather and disturb the march and camp of the army behind him. After a short half a day, the stragglers have been swept away, and Qiu Yi also picked a place for the army to carry back the water in the south, look at the city in the north, and draw a place to camp seven miles away from the city. He also asked Fang Ji to lead the army here and wait for the arrival of the army, and led two hundred soldiers to meet Zhu Mian.

Just after traveling four miles, he saw a horse lying on the ground, Qiu Yi hurriedly stepped forward to investigate, and found that it was the cavalry that Zhu Mian had brought before. Then he had an arrow in his heart, and his horse stopped on one side. Che La looked at it and said, "This person's body is still warm, but his blood has coagulated, and he has been dead for half an hour." ”

Qiu Yi hurriedly said: "I'll go to pick up the army Sima as soon as possible, and let the Fang army wait for the troops to come to support." "Then the leader of the army hurried away. Not long after, he heard a deafening shouting and killing sound in front of him, Qiu Yi was anxious, the Zhu family was a son, and he must not be allowed to fold here. Busy let Che La lead the soldiers behind, and led the five cavalry guards to take the first step.

The two-mile journey was approaching in a blink of an eye, and Qiu Yi couldn't help but be stunned by the scene in front of him. I saw that there were thousands of thieves outside the city, each holding a knife and spear, surrounded by a man and a horse, and fought continuously. The man in the field was covered in blood, with his right knife and left spear, right slash and left stab, and he kept rushing and killing. Even if he was wearing a dozen arrows, the red horse under the seat was also hit by several arrows, and he fought endlessly. Qiu Yiding saw that the person was Zhu Mian.

At this time, the ground in the battlefield was full of dead bodies, and at a cursory glance, there were no less than a hundred. There were still yellow turban moth thieves who were killed and fell to the ground, but they were still driven forward to kill Zhu Mian like moths to fire.

Without waiting for Qiu Yi to find the target and rush into battle, Zhu Mian's red horse was suddenly stabbed to the ground, and Zhu Mian fell off the horse and disappeared among countless heads. The Yellow Turban Moth thieves were full of joy, and they all marched forward bravely, Qiu Yi couldn't help but be so shocked that his eyes were cracked, could it be that Zhu Mian died like this?
