By the time Xiang Ao's troops set out, Jizhou was already full of smoke.

Zhang Jiao called himself "General Tiangong", and in the first battle, he first captured Liu Xu, the king of Anping, and Liu Zhong, the king of Ganling, of the imperial family, and killed them all in order to raise the morale of the army. He also attacked and killed Guo Xun, the assassin of Youzhou, and Liu Wei, the Taishou of Guangyang (now Beijing). For a while, the momentum was loud, and the Ji and Youshi families were all afraid in their hearts.

Lu Zhi worshiped General Beizhonglang, and his deputy was a member of General Wuhuan Zhonglang, who led the soldiers of the five schools of the Northern Army (i.e., the five battalions of Tuncai, Yuecai, Infantry, Changshui, and Shesheng) to Jizhou to pacify the Yellow Turban Army. Lu Zhi won consecutive battles, conquered the south of Julu in Wei County, and subdued many counties of Julu in Jizhou in October, and even approached the Zhang Liang Yellow Turban Department stationed in Julu.

Lu Zhi was originally a master of the art of war and had rich experience, and the Han officers and soldiers were also well-armoured. Although Zhang Jiao led hundreds of thousands of yellow turbans, most of them were refugees. Zhang Jiao may have some talent, but he doesn't have many generals under him.

Xiang Ao originally wanted to pass through Changshan and go directly to Julu to make peace with the army of Lu Zhi's court, but when he heard the situation in Guangyang, Xiang Ao had to give up. From Daigun, he transferred directly to Shanggu County and went directly to Guangyang to quell the rampant Yellow Turban rebels in Guangyang.

Along the way, Xiang Ao did not have much pity for the refugees who were forced to throw themselves into the yellow scarves, and the yellow scarves encountered in Shanggu County were all crushed by Xiang Ao. If he abandoned the army and surrendered, Xiang Ao would have some mercy and send him back to Daijun for processing. As for the stubborn resistance or the devout believers of the Taiping Dao, they were all merciless and slaughtered.

As a result, the few Yellow Turban rebels in Shanggu County fled one after another, and most of them were so frightened that they dropped their weapons, untied the Yellow Turbans and fled into the mountains and forests. As for the evil bandits who harassed and even plundered and mutilated the people in the name of the Yellow Turban, Xiang Ao killed them when they met.

And when Xiang Ao killed the Yellow Turban along the way and galloped to Guangyang, in Zhuo County, Liu Bei was sitting in Zhuo County at this time, gathering the township to fight against the Yellow Turban.

"Yun Chang, Yide!" Liu Bei was slightly excited and pulled two of them by both hands and said: "The three of us are so like-minded, Yun Chang and Yide are dragons and phoenixes among people, we can get Yun Chang and Yide to help, and we will definitely be able to lead a group of villagers to quell the rebellion and get the yellow scarf to get the war merits, seal the wife and son, and glorify the ancestors!" "These two people are extraordinary, and they are fierce generals at first glance. One person's name is Guan Yu, and the word cloud is long; One person's name is Zhang Fei, and the word is Yide.

"It is also a great luck for the two of us to meet Ming Gong!" Guan Yu is a native of Xie County, Hedong County, and the Guan family of Xie County was also a local powerful landlord several generations ago. Guan Yu was already in the same temper as Liu Bei, and when he saw that Liu Bei, who was a relative of the Han family, valued him so much, he said excitedly.

Guan Yu was brave and powerful when he was a teenager, and he was jealous and hateful. When Guan Yu was young, he rushed to Xie County and wanted to see the county guard in order to serve the country. However, Guan Yu was unknown at the time, and the county guard refused to meet him. That night, Guan Yu heard someone crying next door at the hotel where he was staying, and when he asked, he realized that the crying person was called Han Shouyi, and his daughter was forcibly occupied and ravaged by the city bully Lu Xiong.

Lu Xiong is an outsider, colluding with the official eunuchs, bullying men and women, and harming many women from good families in the local area for several years. When Guan Yu heard this, he was furious, broke into the Lu family with a sword, killed Lu Xiong and his family, and rescued the girl surnamed Han and other women from a good family. After that, he fled to another country overnight, passing through Zhuo County, and heard that Liu Bei, a virtuous man, was recruiting the township Yong to quell the rebellion of the Yellow Turban in Zhuo County to report the Han, so he heard the news.

Liu Bei admired Guan Yu's heroic pride, and Guan Yu was extremely handsome, although his face was a little red, and with a little beard in his year, he was even more heroic.

And Zhang Fei's appearance is a little mediocre, not handsome, nor ugly. It's just that his eyes are huge, even if he looks at each other normally, it makes people feel a little afraid, and then Zhang Fei has a very loud voice, and talking about each other on weekdays also shocks ordinary people's ears.

Although the project is not as handsome as Liu Bei and Guan Yu, Zhang Fei's life experience is much better than the two. Zhang Fei's family background is also a rare and well-known Haoqiang in Zhuo County, although he has no family background, he is rich in money and wealth, and he is extremely wealthy. If Xiang Ao was in charge of his business in the Northern Regions, he would definitely know about this person. After all, the richer the person, the more coal balls and horses must be purchased in the Xiang Ao Chamber of Commerce.

In addition to the brave and extraordinary Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Liu Bei was also valued by the wealthy people who had been merchants for generations. And since such a big business, there are two people, one Zhang Shiping and one Su Shuang.

There is nothing too special about these two, but the family has a lot of money. Zhang Fei's family was wealthy, so he had to pay for Liu Bei to recruit some village warriors, but Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang equipped Liu Bei with a full range of good horses and armor. It also cost a lot of money for the three of them to find the dark iron and blacksmiths to tailor weapons. The three of them even named themselves gods, hoping to become famous with themselves in the future.

Liu Bei is good at making short swords, and the nameless blacksmith creates a pair of swords for him, called 'male and female double-strand swords.' The blade is bladed on both sides, and the attack is mainly stabbed.

Guan Yu is good at long knives, and the nameless blacksmith casts a 41-kilogram long knife for it, the blade is like a crescent moon, and the knife surface is painted with the pattern of the green dragon, which is called the 'Qinglong Glaive Knife.

Zhang Fei is fond of spears, and the spears he casts are eight feet long, and the tip of the spear is made to look like a snake. Zhang Fei ordered it to be named 'Zhangba Snake Spear.'

In this way, Liu Bei, who will be powerful in the world in the future, is ready to go. The relationship between the three is also very good, recruiting Xiangyong to see each other for a few days, and the three of them are lying together, together every day, like siblings. However, for Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are treated as masters and have good respect. Zhang Fei is even more commensurate with the elder Guan Yu as a brother.

With Liu Bei's reputation, coupled with the financial support of Zhang Fei's family wealth and Zhang Shiping, Liu Bei has made up an army of 2,000 people, and he is equipped with a lot of good horses, all of which are excellent armor, and he has the momentum of being unbeatable in one day.

"Hahaha..."Zhang Fei laughed: "I, Zhang Fei, Zhang Yide, will become famous all over the world one day." Hahaha..."The deafening laughter spread all over the county seat of Zhuoxian, and the people in the county had no choice but to chuckle at the seemingly reckless Zhang Fei.

Guan Yu is a lot more subtle than Zhang Fei, but seeing Zhang Fei so high-spirited, his heart is also excited. followed Liu Bei, not only to clear the most murderous people, but also to get what he wanted, leading the troops to fight the thief.

Liu Bei looked at the two people in front of him, and he was also a little excited in his heart, and finally gathered the team, and after the fierce battle for the Yellow Turban, he could get some positions and plan for the future. The more he thought about Liu Bei, the more excited he became, and even his hands trembled a little.

What made everyone in Zhuojun feel strange was that after Liu Bei raised troops and horses, he did not rush to the aid of Guangyang, which was closer, and went straight to the direction of Guangzong, the main battlefield of Jizhou. Maybe kill the leader of the Yellow Turban thieves directly, or maybe the Yellow Turban rebels can be defeated without a fight! However, who can know what Liu Bei really thinks in his heart?

As for Liu Bei's whereabouts, Xiang Ao has no way of knowing for the time being, and at this time he has rushed to the junction of Shanggu County and Guangyang County, preparing to press the army into Guangyang County.

"Can you find out who occupies the yellow scarf in Guangyang County at this time?"

"My lord, the last general heard that the garrison in Guangyang City at this time was Cheng Zhiyuan, the commander of Youzhou Qu who had previously attacked and killed Youzhou Assassin Shi Guo Xun and Guangyang Taishou Liu Wei, and his general Deng Mao."

"Have you ever asked what these two people are doing in Guangyang City at this time? Where will it go after that? ”

"I heard that Cheng Zhiyuan and Deng Mao were only born in poverty, just a little brave, and there are no other talents." After sorting out a little, the guards replied: "Scouts report from Guangyang City frequently appear scouts to the direction of Zhuo County, and the two of them will want to make contributions to Zhuo County. ”

"Can you capture Guangyang without talent?" Xiang Ao was slightly angry and said: "Such an official is really insulting to the name of the Han courtier!" ”

"Don't be angry!" The accompanying Xi Zhong explained: "The Han Dynasty is about to rot, and it is normal for officials from all over the country not to think about their duties. ”

"It's just that I don't know this person's temperament, and we are not familiar with the Guangyang realm, so it is not appropriate to rush into the army!"

"The Yellow Turban rebels are mostly ordinary people, and they have not been trained, even if their generals are extraordinary, it is difficult to act. Besides, this person is really a talent for time? Xiang Ao sneered, and did not take Cheng Zhiyuan and Deng Mao in Guangyang in his eyes.

"The lord should be cautious, just in case." Seeing Xiang Ao's mentality, Xi Zhong advised Xiang Aodao.

"It's a reminder of the loss!" Xiang Ao is also a warning in his heart, he doesn't want to be so mentality that he hasn't joined the main force of the Yellow Turban, it's really impossible.

When Xiang Ao regained his senses, Xi Zhong had already worshiped Xiang Ao, perhaps impressed by Xiang Ao's talent, or attracted by Xiang Ao's personality, who knows, Xiang Ao did not ask.

"Lord, since the Guangyang Yellow Turban wants to attack Zhuo County, our army can run overnight, and it can go to the county seat of Zhuo County to ambush, or it may have a miraculous effect!" After getting the plot reported by the guard, Xiang Ao ordered someone to take out the map of Youzhou and discuss countermeasures with Xi Zhong.

When Xiang Ao heard this, his eyes lit up, and he laughed: "Wonderful, wonderful." Zhicai is really my Han Shinya! ”

"The lord praises falsely, and it is a blessing to be loyal to be able to share the worries of the lord!" Xi Zhong is indeed modest.

Xiang Ao looked at Xi Zhong with a smile and didn't say much. Xi Zhong also chuckled knowingly.

"In this way, the cavalry will raid at full speed and ambush at the border of Liangxiang." Xiang Ao said and turned to Gao Shun and said: "Zhong Da, all the infantry in the battle are not good at running, but this ambush requires Zhong Da to follow the cavalry, and after the Yellow Turban is ambushed, Zhong Da needs to cut off the back road of the Yellow Turban and be annihilated in a battle!" ”

"No!" Gao Shun calmly accepted the order, without any expression.

After the plan was decided, Xiang Ao no longer hesitated, and led more than 4,000 elite horsemen from the Northern Regions to the south towards Zhuojun at full speed.

In the land of a hundred miles, for the elite riders of the Northern Regions who are traveling at full speed, it only takes an hour to arrive. When he reached the boundary, Xiang Ao went to the shady place under Wutai Mountain marked on the map. Because he hadn't found out how long the Yellow Turban had been sending troops to Zhuo County, he simply camped and waited.

In order to prevent the Yellow Turban scouts from discovering Xiang Ao, Xiang Ao even ordered the whole army not to make fires to make food, and temporarily used dry food to satisfy hunger. However, the dry food that Xiang Ao brought was much better than the dry food he saw on weekdays, not only soft and easy to swallow, but also mixed with a lot of minced meat.

"Lord, General Gao only has 800 infantry, if the Yellow Turban is defeated with one blow, I am afraid that General Gao will be difficult to resist!" Xi Zhong didn't know the combat power of the camp led by Gao Shun, and he was extremely worried and persuaded.

"Zhicai doesn't have to worry, when the trapped camp appears, Zhicai will definitely be amazed by miracles!"

"Oh?!" Xi Zhong was extremely curious when he heard this.
