Chapter 56: Zhang Jiao's Response
"Oh, the letter says that he has two brothers with him, both of whom have the courage of ten thousand people!" Lu Zhi didn't know what he was thinking, and said absent-mindedly.
Suddenly, Zhou Fan's heart was set aside, and he couldn't help but let out a wail. In the end, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were still fooled by Liu Da'er. With the personalities of those two people, if I want to recruit them again, I am afraid that there is no hope.
Lu Zhi didn't notice Zhou Fan's expression, but Xun You observed it, and asked in a low voice, "Yuan Yang seems to care a lot about the one named Liu Bei and his two brothers." ”
Immediately, the corners of Zhou Fan's mouth twitched, this Liu Da'er is really nothing, but with one Guan Er and one Zhang San, it will be difficult to deal with. In desperation, I had to say a few words casually and passed vaguely. However, Xun You saw all this in his eyes, and couldn't help but be a little more curious about Liu Bei.
Jizhou, Julu, Taishoufu.
"Big brother, there is news in the direction of Yecheng and Zhuojun!" A man in his thirties walked in with a gloomy face.
Inside, there was already an old man who looked like a bit of a fairy, with his eyes closed, holding a nine-section staff in his hand, and carrying something like a bamboo basket around his waist, and he didn't know what it was.
Naturally, the old man was the initiator of the Yellow Turban Uprising, the great sage and mentor of the Taiping Dao, and the general of Tiangong. As for the man who called Zhang Jiao the eldest brother, it was also the third brother of Zhang Jiao, the general Zhang Liang.
"Say, what's the bad news!" Zhang Jiao opened his eyes violently and stared straight at the beam.
Zhang Liang was stunned for a moment, and asked a little embarrassedly, "Big brother, how do you know?" ”
Zhang Jiao smiled slightly, but looked a little bitter: "You and my brother have been for many years, can I still not know what you are thinking, say it." ”
Zhang Liang was angry in his heart, and shouted dissatisfiedly: "Cheng Yuanzhi led 50,000 yellow turbans to attack Zhuo County, but the whole army was wiped out, and the same is true for Yecheng, there is not a single army of 20,000 left, and even Yecheng is lost." ”
"Oh, that Youzhou Zhuo County, there don't seem to be any powerful characters, there are only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, how could Yuanzhi be defeated like this?" Zhang Jiao asked with some confusion, but there was no surprise in his words.
Zhang Liang also took a breath of talk and said: "In the end, it's not because we were too hasty to raise the army, and we weren't prepared at all, and there were three guys from Zhuo County out of nowhere, and the leader was called Liu Xuande, who said that he was a member of the Han family, that is, he and his two brothers, and Yuanzhi was defeated." ”
"Liu Xuande!" Zhang Jiao whispered silently, and kept the name in his heart: "That's it, Youzhou is not our focus in the first place, if it's gone, it's gone, but what's going on in Yecheng, I didn't order people to hold on a long time ago, how could it be broken so quickly!" ”
"It's not because of the horse!" Zhang Liang shouted indignantly.
Zhang Jiao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Madang, but the son of Yuanyi." ”
At the mention of Ma Yuanyi, Zhang Jiao's face darkened a little. Not to mention that because of Ma Yuanyi's death, his Zhang Jiao's conspiracy was exposed, forcing him to revolt in advance.
Let's just say that the loss of Ma Yuanyi is enough for him to be heartbroken. This Ma Yuanyi has a very high status among their yellow scarves, only under the three brothers Zhang Jiao and the divine envoy Zhang Mancheng. And he is brave, so he is deeply trusted by Zhang Jiao.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have handed over such a major matter as Luoyang to Ma Yuanyi. Their yellow scarf lost such a general, and Zhang Jiao was naturally sad.
"Isn't that him!" Zhang Liang said angrily: "At the beginning, in order to make up for that Ma Yuanyi, eldest brother, you let his son Ma be the generous commander of Yecheng. But this person didn't know what to do, he didn't listen to the orders of the eldest brother, and sent troops without authorization, but instead fell into the plan of Lu Zhi and Zhou Fan, and the whole army was wiped out, not to mention, even Yecheng was lost! ”
It's no wonder that he Zhang Liang is so angry, that Yecheng was originally a barrier for them, and now that the barrier is gone, the Han army can directly attack Guangzong and Julu. And after this defeat, their morale must have plummeted, and there will definitely be a hard battle next.
"Zhou Fan!" Zhang Jiao's eyebrows and feet couldn't help twitching, thinking of the young man who helped the victims outside Luoyang City, but now he has to be an enemy of himself, a person who also wants to help the people of the world, and he can't help but feel a little bitter in his heart, which is really unpredictable.
"That's it!" Zhang Jiao shook his head helplessly, and said to Zhang Liang: "Give your second brother in Guangzong an order to keep him going." Let all the Yellow Turban soldiers and horses in Jizhou gather in Julu and Guangzong, and don't fight hard with the Han army. Most of the soldiers and horses under our command have little combat experience, and if they fight against Na Lu Zhi, they will really lose more and win less. Our biggest advantage now is that there are many people, and we are slowly consuming them! ”
"Got it, big brother!" Zhang Liang shouted excitedly, and rushed out directly.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem!" When Zhang Liang left, Zhang Jiao covered the corner of his mouth and coughed, a trace of blood flowed down from the corner of his mouth, his eyes looked out a little confused, and muttered to himself: "I don't know if God will give me this time." ”
The next day, Yecheng.
After a day of fighting, the Han army rested for another day in Yecheng, and it can be regarded as almost recovered. Lu Zhi didn't dare to waste time, and directly ordered the army to continue to march towards Guangzong.
"Teacher, I met a lot of county towns on the way, but I didn't meet half of the yellow scarves, could they all disappear?" Zhou Fan asked suspiciously.
Along the way, I have met six or seven small counties that have been ravaged by yellow scarves, but I haven't seen half of the yellow scarves exist, which can't help but make Zhou Fan a little depressed.
"I'm afraid that what you said before has really come true!" Lu Zhitan took a breath of talk and said helplessly.
"Yes, after two major defeats in Zhuojun and Yecheng, that horn is also careful, I'm afraid that now the Yellow Turban soldiers and horses in the entire Jizhou have been concentrated in Guangzong and Julu." Xun You said lightly.
"Yes, if that horn really can't shrink, I'm afraid there really isn't a good way." Lu Zhi is also worried. But there's really no good way to do it.
"Report!" Just when Lu Zhi and the others were idle, a fast horse rushed towards them: "Lord Qiyu Zhonglang, there are more than 100 yellow turbans ten miles ahead, and more than a dozen Han people are besieging them, and the form is very critical!" ”
"Yulin rides the first tun, follow me!" Without waiting for Lu Zhi to speak, Zhou Fan directly slapped the red blood under his crotch and rushed out.
At the same time, Zhou Feng, Dian Wei, and a hundred Yulin riders behind him also quickly followed behind.
This kind of thing has happened a lot along the way, and Lu Zhi is not surprised, so he didn't stop Zhou Fan. In the end, it is still the people of the Han Dynasty, and without affecting the army, it is natural to save them.
