Chapter 6: Metamorphosis

Perhaps even Yan Shao himself didn't realize the huge impact that the Battle of Cangting had on him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

For Yan Shao, this journey may be more like a game, and although he has some ambition to recruit Sun Guan and Guan Hai, there is also a kind of fun of collecting. Just like in the past, when I played some related games, I couldn't help but collect some stronger generals.

But after experiencing what happened to Cangting, he could no longer hold this game-like mentality. What the Battle of Cangting brought to Yan Shao was a huge transformation.

At the same time, it also made Yan Shao understand what he should do.

When you watch the living beings fall into hell and you have the power to save them, do you choose to stand by and watch?

The so-called Wuhu Chaohua is still a little too far away for Yan Shao now...

"As long as I can save these people..."Looking at the numb faces beside him, Yan Shao said silently.

In the days that followed, whether it was Yan Shao or Sun Guan, they were trying their best to forget the impact of this massacre, but neither Yan Shao nor Sun Guan could have imagined that this was only the first of the many cruel atrocities that occurred in the Yellow Turban Rebellion...

In troubled times, human life is not valuable, as long as there is food, it is easy to recruit as many soldiers and horses as you want. Although the people can't eat enough, the treatment of the officials and soldiers is still good, and the local families and heroes will also reward the local officials and soldiers from time to time for their own safety. With this guarantee, Yan Shao quickly recruited a sufficient number of strong men from the local area, so that the number of his army finally reached 1,000 people.

This is somewhat unruly, but it was turned a blind eye by Huangfu Song.

Whether it is Guan Hai or Sun Guan, the bravery on the battlefield has made a deep impression on Huangfu Song, and he is naturally willing to open some back doors, so that this group of rare warriors has a chance to play.

What's more, Huangfu Song can vaguely feel that the Battle of Cangting can only be regarded as an appetizer in the future wars. Sure enough, the next development of events did not surprise Huangfu Song. It didn't take long for Zhang Jiao to occupy Guangzong and control the hinterland of HB, and Lu Zhi, who was responsible for the crusade against Zhang Jiao, was falsely captured by the eunuchs and sent back to Luoyang, and was succeeded by Dong Zhuo, the great demon king of Roshan, but this figure who was considered to be the culprit of many of the downfall of the Han Dynasty in history was defeated by the Yellow Turban in the process of crusading against the Yellow Turban.

With no other way, the imperial court ordered Huangfu Song to lead his troops to attack Zhangjiao.

There were as many as 100,000 Yellow Turban troops occupying Gwangjong, and compared to this war, the previous Battle of Cangting was not even an appetizer.

However, changes are always faster than expected, and before the army can be mobilized, the news of Zhang Jiao's death has already come.

At this time, Yingchuan (Junzhi Yangzhai, now HNYU County), Chen Guo (now HN Huaiyang), Runan (County Zhiganyu, now HN Pingyu North), Dongjun (County Zhi Puyang, now HNZY City) and other Yellow Turban Army have been defeated one after another, and the Nanyang Yellow Turban Army is trapped in Wancheng (now HNNY City, Guangzong Yellow Turban Army has become a lone army.

With Zhang Jiao's death, now only Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao are left in the Yellow Turban Optimus Prime, both of whom have more than 100,000 Yellow Turbans, which are considered the elite of the Yellow Turbans.

Especially after learning the news of Zhang Jiao's death, the morale of the whole army was greatly boosted, and he felt that victory seemed to be expected.

It was only after Guangzong that they realized that their previous ideas seemed a little naΓ―ve. Perhaps because he had predicted his fate, after the arrival of Huangfu Song, Zhang Liang strictly guarded it.

Especially after Zhang Jiao's death, Guangzong's Yellow Turban Army not only did not plummet in morale, but became a mourning army, fighting fiercely with the official army in Guangzong.

Although the official army is elite, but after all, the number of people is much worse, Zhang Liang has been defending the camp to the death, more than a month down, the officers and soldiers have suffered heavy casualties, but the day of capturing the camp is still far away, no wonder Yan Shao will look at the opposite camp and frown.

Since the last time he killed Bu Ji, Yan Shao's battalion of soldiers and horses has been favored by Huangfu Song, after arriving in Guangzong, many battles have made Yan Shao's battalion horses play, there are Guan Hai and Sun Guan such two fierce generals, Yan Shao's battalion performed very well, but the casualties are rising in a straight line, and now there are only more than 500 people left, many of whom are wounded, even Yan Shao himself was hit by an arrow when he attacked Guangzong, but fortunately he did not hit the vital point, It's also a blessing in disguise.

"If you fight so hard, I'm afraid that you won't be able to attack Guangzong in less than two months..."This is actually a more implicit inference, after all, Guangzong's Yellow Turbans are 100,000, and this does not include the Yellow Turban family members in Guangzong City.

As long as the food in Zhang Liang's hand is enough, let alone two months, it is not impossible to persist for a year or two.

Just like Zhang Xun of the Tang Dynasty, that is, the warrior who killed his concubine and cooked and rewarded the soldiers, he defended Suiyang for three years, and finally the city was destroyed because there was really no food and grass, and the army in his hands at that time was only a few thousand, but the rebels he faced were 130,000.

Today's Zhang Liang has 100,000 soldiers and horses, and Huangfu Song's troops are not even as much as Zhang Liang.

If Guangzong's grain and grass are inexhaustible, to be honest, even Yan Shao himself does not know when it will be fought, after all, the siege methods of this era are still a little backward.

Seeing Yan Shao silently looking at the Yellow Turban camp in the distance, Guan Hai asked on the side. "What can Childe do?"

Although Yan Shao has become a military Sima and is still the boss of Guan Hai and Sun Guan, Guan Hai is still used to calling Yan Shao his son, even Sun Guan.

In the past month, there have been dozens of yellow scarves that have died in Guan Hai's hands, but Guan Hai's scars are only a handful, his bravery has long been known to the whole army, and there are even a few generals who are very envious of Yan Shao's subordinates such brave generals, and once asked Yan Shao if he was willing to cut his love, but Yan Shao gave Yan Shao a strict refusal.

It's just that even such a rough man knows that he is afraid that he will not be big if he continues to fight like this.

"Let me think about it..."Seeing that even Sun Guan looked over, Yan Shao closed his eyes and pondered, bowing his head and pondering.

Guan Hai and Sun Guan didn't ask, they just waited quietly beside them, and after a long time, they saw Yan Shao open his eyes. "I have a plan, maybe I can do it...", he said and looked at Sun and Guan. You two will accompany me to the camp of the great handsome..."

"No!"

They glanced at each other, and the two hugged their fists.

As the most combative battalion under Huangfu Song, Yan Shao's battalion has always been at the forefront, and it took a long time to return to Huangfu Song's camp.

Fortunately, they soon saw Huangfu Song, and learned that Yan Shao came with his grandson and Guan, and Huangfu Song was also a little curious, at this time he was discussing with his generals about attacking Guangzong, but after discussing for a long time, he had no clue, but it was not Huangfu Song's style to attack and fight so fiercely.

Yan Shao is not afraid of the spies with yellow turbans in the camp, after all, at this time, the gate is strict, and if you want to get ahead, having a good background is more important than anything else, unlike in the later period, because of the chaos of the current situation, more attention was paid to talents. In fact, even in the later period, there are still many people who pay attention to the family, rather than ability.

Among them, Yuan Shao is definitely the representative, and it is precisely because of this that Cao Cao's meritocracy is so eye-catching, and therefore has won the allegiance of Guo Jia and other poor disciples.

―――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――

At dawn, seeing the sun rising over the horizon, the yellow turban, who was in charge of the guard, yawned and looked like he was about to fall asleep to the ground. The whole person leaned on the spear sharpened from the wooden stick, and at this time, if someone pushed it slightly, he was afraid that he would be thrown to the ground at once.

If this is changed to an official army, I am afraid that there will be an officer on patrol soon, and he will be given a few whips to make him sober up. But this is in the Yellow Turban Army, which is not very military literate, and the soldiers here do not even have a little formal training, and those leaders are mostly ordinary civilians before they become Yellow Turbans, and it is a whimsical thing to expect them to do things perfectly.

What's more, perhaps because he defeated Lu Zhi and Dong Zhuo before, and then held on to Guangzong for a month, the officers and soldiers were helpless, Guangzong's yellow turban was obviously relaxed, and the soldiers in charge of the garrison in the camp were also lazy because of this, especially at dawn, when the sun had just risen, this was the most sleepy time for a person, and it was also the time when vigilance was the lowest.

The sleepy Yellow Turban soldiers were completely oblivious to the situation in the camp opposite.

The gate of the village was quietly opened, and after glancing at the silent Yellow Turban Camp opposite, Yan Shao turned around and beckoned. I saw Guan Hai and Sun Guan quietly coming out of the camp with the soldiers under their command, because it was already dawn, so the soldiers did not have a wooden stick in their mouths, but everyone still kept their teeth closed, for fear that they would make the slightest noise.

Several other gates were also opened, and teams of officers and soldiers poured out of them.

But everything was just as Yan Shao expected, the sleepy Yellow Turban Army did not notice their movements, and did not even notice that thousands of officers and soldiers were running out of the camp.

However, just as Yan Shao and the others were about to approach the Yellow Turban camp, they saw a sudden alarm bell from the camp opposite, and then the entire camp was in an uproar, as if it was a hot pot.

Yan Shao knew that their actions had been discovered, and hurriedly said to Guan Hai and Sun Guan beside him. "Let's kill the past first, and we must grab a walled gate!"

Sun Guan and Guan Hai also knew that success or failure was in this move, so they just hugged their fists and led the soldiers to rush forward. The soldiers in charge of the guard were at the most sleepy time at the moment, where would they be the opponents of Guan Hai and Sun Guan, and they were all cut down in just a few clicks.

After recuperating all night, the officers and soldiers were almost like tigers, compared with them, the Yellow Turban Army in the camp was asleep, although they woke up from the camp tent one after another, but they didn't even have time to put on their clothes and armor, what to talk about meeting the enemy?

After a while, I saw that the periphery of the camp had been breached, and the officers and soldiers outside took advantage of the situation to enter the camp, and it was Yan Shao and Sun and Guan behind him who took the lead...

And behind this battalion, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers are launching an attack on Guangzong's Yellow Turban Army...

Rushing to meet the enemy, Zhang Liang lost the opportunity, although he resisted hard, but at noon, he was finally defeated by Huangfu Song, and Zhang Liang himself died in the battle. Thirty thousand people were killed in the Yellow Turbans of Guangzong, and more than 10,000 people went to the river to die. Huangfu Song entered Guangzong, captured the families of the righteous army, burned a large number of baggage, and "dissected the coffin and poked the corpse, and passed on the head of the Beijing Division"...

If Zhang Jiao's death is just a foreshadowing of the defeat of the Yellow Turban Army...

Then the battle of Guangzong is equivalent to announcing the death date of the Yellow Turban...
