Chapter 231: Everyone's Plans
Last time, it was said that Zhang Yan successfully eliminated the head of the Fengzhen Group at one time, basically stabilizing the situation of the Jizhou Yellow Turban Army.
Because Zhang Yan acted quickly, it was already a day later when the Han army discovered the abnormality of the Yellow Turban Army camp, because the Yellow Turban Army's camp was empty, Zhang Yan withdrew the main force to Ye County, but the Han army was not clear.
The Han army waited for more than two months for a new order from the imperial court, only to receive news of the sporadic defeat of friendly troops in the rear reported by the scouts. The scouts found only the bodies of friendly soldiers in those places, and found no other useful information, other than that the ambushed friendly troops came from the east side of the river.
Lu Zhi and He Meng had a hard time during this time. Although the decree has not yet been issued, they all have their own channels to know what to do with them. Although Lu Zhi lost his position, he was not further punished, so recently, Lu Zhi mainly responded to all changes with the same, no matter what changes happened to the Yellow Turban Thief, he just did not move, and returned to Beijing safely as the first priority, because the last time he was played like a monkey by the Yellow Turban Thief, Lu Zhi's courage was already cold.
He Meng was a little angry, and finally waited for an opportunity, but his lord wanted to give up by himself, saying that there might be a traitor of yellow turban thieves in the court and the army. He Meng hated this traitor very much, and he wanted to tear him alive, but he didn't know who this traitor was, so he wanted to create an opportunity to dig out this traitor himself.
He Meng's method was to ask for war and let the traitor pass on the news of the Han army's troops, so that he could find an opportunity to find this traitor. But Lu Zhi's side has always refused to let go. He Meng quarreled with Lu Zhi many times for this, and He Meng also said that he wanted to dig out the traitors in the army, and he didn't really want to send troops to fight the yellow scarves. But Lu Zhi just didn't listen and kept insisting on his own opinion.
This is because Lu Zhi does not agree with He Jin's opinion, he and Dong Zhuo have similar ideas, and he also thinks that Zhang Jiao knows how to demons. Because even if the traitor communicated the contradictions of the generals in his own army to the Yellow Turban Thieves, it was impossible for the Yellow Turban Thieves to pinch the timing so accurately on the battlefield, so that the main force led by Lu Zhi could not touch the whereabouts of the main force of the Yellow Turban Thieves at all, and was also played by a fire set by them. Lu Zhi thought that the Yellow Turban Thief had come to the Han military camp so childishly and set fire to it and left, so he came to laugh at him.
Now that the Han army found that the Yellow Turban Thieves' camp was empty, He Meng came to quarrel with Lu Zhi again, but Lu Zhi still ignored him. Lu Zhidu began to get used to it, at first he felt that He Meng's voice was very loud and noisy, but now he directly treats He Meng as air, but the wind is so strong and the voice is very loud.
And at this moment, on the side of Luoyang, Huangfu Song has arrived in Luoyang, and the newly mobilized 20,000 central troops have also been prepared.
Zhang Jiao had also discovered the movement of the Han Ting's troops in front of him, and he also made corresponding preparations, he notified the Yellow Turban Army in Jingzhou and Gunzhou to assemble around Sili, and made it look like they were going to attack Luoyang, in order to delay Huangfu Song's advance, and he himself planned to attack Lu Zhi's army that remained in Jizhou, and strive to eat Lu Zhi's remaining more than 10,000 people before Huangfu Song entered Jizhou. After the last confrontation with Lu Zhi, he had slowly replenished his troops back to 20,000, and it was the 20,000 Taiping Sect troops that had completed the assembly of weapons, plus almost 20,000 Fengzhen troops, Zhang Jiao was confident that he could completely annihilate Lu Zhi's more than 10,000 people.

However, Zhang Jiao only had time to issue an order asking Jingzhou and the Yellow Turban Army of Gunzhou to cooperate in the operation, but before the general mobilization of the Jizhou Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Yan had already "helped" Lu Zhi to take the lead and killed him, otherwise Lu Zhi and them might have died in two days.
Because Zhang Jiao learned that the divination technique of "Taiping Yaoshu" could continue to be used, he had been relying on divination to spy on the enemy, and at the same time became very arbitrary, and then neglected to ventilate and discuss countermeasures with his subordinates. Before the execution, including Zhang Yan, the disciples who entered the room had no chance to know Zhang Jiao's plan, so Zhang Yan and the others did not know the latest movements of the Han Court, nor did they know Zhang Jiao's latest arrangements.
Zhang Yan didn't know Zhang Jiao's plan, but he had his own plan.
Four days after Zhang Yan killed Zhang Jiao, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army Camp welcomed an envoy sent by the Jizhou Battalion. The messenger was only a herald in charge of the daily delivery of official documents, so Zhang Bao didn't care too much. Zhang Bao asked the messenger to leave the official document and arranged for him to go down to rest. Zhang Bao needs to check if there are any new orders before deciding how to reply to Zhang Jiao.
When the envoy left Zhang Bao's tent, he casually asked the little soldier who had led him the way: "Little brother, do you know which tent Wu Dahe lives in?" He's my neighbor, and I want to catch up with him. ”
Seeing that the other party was his own person, the leading soldier was not wary at all, and asked enthusiastically: "Big brother, which battalion is the Wu Dahe you are talking about?" We don't have such a person as Wu Dahe in our camp, so I don't know, but if you tell me which camp it is, I can lead you to him. ”
The envoy pretended to think about it, and said hesitantly: "I remember hearing from my fellow countryman that he was from the second brigade of the fifth battalion, but it is not clear which squad it is. ”
The leading soldier nodded, patted his chest and said, "Big brother, don't worry, since you even know about the brigade you belong to, it won't be difficult to find." Just follow me. By the way, big brother, my name is Quan Xiaotian, what's your name? ”
The envoy didn't expect this little soldier to be so enthusiastic, and asked for directions by himself, and also attracted both sides to introduce themselves, but he also asked the other party to help lead the way, so he could only deal with it head-on: "Me? My name is Wu Dalang. ”
Quan Xiaotian smiled kindly and said, "As soon as I hear your name, I know that you are the eldest son in the family, am I right?" ”
Wu Dalang had a black line, he really didn't want to continue these unnutritious topics, but for the sake of his own task, he could only continue to deal with it, so he nodded reluctantly.
Who knew that if the clamp was opened, it wouldn't stop. Quan Xiaotian said again: "Brother Wu, where is your home?" Don't you know, my hometown was originally in Wu County, and I heard my grandfather say that my family moved north when Emperor Wu opened the border......"
In this way, Quan Xiaotian led Wu Dalang all the way, and said all the way, fortunately, he finally came to the camp of the fifth battalion, otherwise Quan Xiaotian would tell Wu Dalang what he ate yesterday.
Quan Xiaotian explained his intention to the guards in front of the camp gate, and the guards saw that everyone was their own people in the army, and they did not embarrass them, and told them the approximate location of the second brigade, and let them go directly.
