"What did you say, you said that Jiao and he want to take refuge in me!"

It was Zhang Rao who spoke.

Fortunately, Zhang Rao has not poured water on the Internet, otherwise, he would have yelled, this is not scientific.

Linji County, just listen to the name and know that it is close to Jishui. This place has been occupied by the Yellow Turban Army, and a large area of land near the city is the camp tent of the Yellow Turban Army, stretching for several miles.

Even the county seat was occupied by the Yellow Turban Army. The people in the county, whether they are old and weak, women and children, or strong men, everyone wraps their heads in yellow cloth to show that they belong to the Yellow Turban Army.

In the county government in the city, there were three people sitting, all of whom were wrapped in yellow scarves and were strong. The one in the middle, with a medium stature, is none other than Zhang Rao, the Qu Shuai of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban. The two on the left and right are Xu He and Sima Ju.

Xu He and Sima Ju were already allies of each other, one in Jinan and the other in Le'an, Xu He was originally the commander of the Yellow Turban Army in Jinan, and after being defeated by Liu Bei, he took refuge in Sima Ju. Because they were afraid that Liu Bei would attack again, they united with Zhang Rao of Qi State. Now, the Yellow Turban Army of Zhang Rao and others is entrenched in this area.

At this time, Zhang Rao was sitting in the county office, twisting his beard in his hands, muttering, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

In front of him, kneeling were several Qingzhou soldiers who had escaped from Linzi, claiming to be from Linzi, and they were Qingzhou Thorn Shi Jiao and his men. came here, but brought earth-shattering news, saying that Liu Bei was attacking Linzi City, so Jiao He was willing to join forces with Zhang Rao and others to resist Liu Bei together.

Among the people who came, a soldier who was more articulate kowtowed, and said: "General Zhang, my family Jiao Envoy Jun is not to join the general, but to unite with the general." Liu Xuande is insatiable, first

Attacking your army, and now coming to rob my family's Jiao Envoy Jun's city. Why don't you and I resist together, in the end, it must be the end of being broken by Liu Xuande. General Zhang, you and I are two, it can be said that cooperation is beneficial to both sides,

There are two evils. I hope the general will see clearly. ”

Zhang Rao pondered for a long time, and asked again: "You mean, Qingzhou Assassin Shi Jiaohe fought with Liu Bei in the plains, and now Liu Bei is leading his troops to attack Linzi, is that so?" ”

The soldier said, "Yes, exactly. ”

Zhang Rao was very strange and asked: "Jiao He and Liu Bei are both officials of the Han family, why do they meet each other." ”

The soldier replied: "Liu Bei was originally in the plains, and he came to invade my county for no reason, and Jiao Zhijun was helpless, so he raised troops to resist, but he was not Liu Bei's opponent, so he came to ask the general to help, and he should cooperate with the outside to defeat Liu Bei." My Jiao envoy said that if he can defeat Liu Bei, he is willing to share Qingzhou with the general. ”

The soldier was telling the truth, at least that's what he thought. In fact, these soldiers were dead, they got the news, they received orders, they were all like that.

Zhang Rao thought for a while, and finally said, "You can rest for a while, and let me discuss it later." ”

When the soldier left, Zhang Rao asked Xu He and Sima Ju, "What do you two think?" ”

Xu He was driven away from Jinan by Liu Bei, and hated Liu Bei at this moment, and he couldn't wait to send troops immediately, and immediately defeated Liu Bei, saying: "This is a God-given opportunity, not to be missed." Don't miss the opportunity, and never miss it. ”

Sima Ju said: "Whether this matter is true or not, it is not yet known, but it is still necessary to see if it is true or false, and then make a decision, it is not too late." ”

Xu He said: "Jiao He is an incompetent person, not Liu Bei's opponent. Let's go now, help Jiao He defeat Liu Bei, and then go back and kill Jiao He, kill both of them, and we will occupy Qingzhou. This is called the snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman wins. If Jiao He loses to Liu Bei, Liu Bei will definitely become bigger, and when the time comes, we will be alone. ”

Sima Ju said: "No matter how useless Jiao He is, he can always support the city for a period of time, and it is not too late for us to find out the situation first." ”

Xu He said: "Then according to your words, can we let this opportunity go." ”

Sima Ju shook his head and said, "How can you let go of such a good opportunity." It's just that this battle is very important, and if it wins, it will capture most of Qingzhou, so it has to be done cautiously. ”

Xu He said: "The soldiers are fast, we still have to set off quickly, Liu Bei is brave and good at fighting, if he sets off late, I am afraid that Jiao and support will not last long." ”

Sima Ju argued: "Even if the soldiers are fast, we need time to gather men and horses, so it is better to gather troops and horses first, and at the same time send sentinels to reconnoiter the enemy's situation." ”

Xu He also knew that the Yellow Turban Army was a group of ordinary people who believed in the Taiping Dao, and it would take time to assemble, so he also agreed with Sima's meaning.

Zhang Rao's head is big when he listens, he is actually not a great talent, although he can command hundreds of thousands, millions of yellow scarves, it is also the reason why he relies on Taiping Dao.

To put it bluntly, Zhang Rao is a magic stick, if you want to talk about preaching or something, Zhang Rao is a good hand, but he doesn't have much military ability.

After thinking about it, there was no result, and in the end, seeing that Xu He and Sima Ju had reached an agreement, they decided to gather troops and horses while sending spies to Linzi first.

The Yellow Turban Army was originally a rabble, and when the spies returned, they had not yet fully assembled.

Zhang Rao saw the spies returning, and hurriedly called Xu and Sima Ju to discuss, and listened to the spies say, "Outside Linzi City, the daily killing shouts are earth-shattering, and there are Liu Bei's cavalry sentries all around, sweeping around, controlling the battlefield, and preventing people from sneaking attacks, so they can't get close, but there is no doubt that Linzi City is fighting." ”

Zhang Rao was overjoyed when he heard this: "The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand." Now the Han army in Qingzhou is attacking each other, and it is God who helps me. ”

After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Zhang Rao lurked in the land of Qingzhou, patiently waiting for the opportunity to wait for the future. In the fourth year of Zhongping, Zhang Chun, the prime minister of Zhongshan, Zhang Ju of Taishan and Qiu Liju, the lord of Wuhuan, raised troops to rebel, proclaimed himself the Son of Heaven, and went south to Jizhou the following year. Zhang Rao took this opportunity to raise the Yellow Turban banner again, and with the identity of Zhang Jiao's disciple, he gathered hundreds of thousands of people in just one year.

Such a legendary experience, how could Zhang Rao not believe in Taiping Dao, and believe that "the sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand." ”

Even, Zhang Rao vaguely felt that this Huang Tian should stand, would it be on him. After all, Zhang Jiao died, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao died, but he survived.

At this time, Zhang Rao knew that the Qingzhou officials and soldiers were killing each other under Linzi, and under great joy, he shouted loudly: "Brothers! The Han army in Qingzhou fought against each other, and the two tigers competed, one dead and one wounded, and the winner must have suffered a great loss of strength. Taking advantage of their dog-eat-dog, we also sent troops to Linzi and killed them without leaving a piece of armor, and then, our army entered Linzi, and the gold and silver treasures in Linzi City were ours! Brothers, do you think it's good? ”

Finally, Zhang Rao raised his arms and shouted: "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand!" The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand! ”

When the hundreds of Yellow Turban soldiers around heard this, they were all excited and inexplicable, and followed Zhang Rao to raise his arms and shout: "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand!" "The voice is majestic, resounding through the heavens and the earth.
