Chapter 259: Good News from the South
Xindu, an important town in Anping County, at this time the battle flags are lined up on the head of the city, and the soldiers with tigers and bears are erected in a row, the atmosphere is particularly dignified, and there is no sense of joy at the time of the uprising, but instead of a nervous and uneasy mood, the difference is that ~~~ At that time, the poor village warriors have become the elite of today's hundred battles, even in the face of fierce warriors, they also have the courage and strength of a battle.
At this time, the atmosphere in the city lord's mansion was even more solemn, as if the air was about to condense, and the civil and military people sitting on both sides were all dignified, and they didn't even have the courage to look up at the person on the top.
In the center of the hall ~~~ A half-kneeling herald trembled and knelt in the hall, waiting for words that might kill him at any moment.
But to his surprise, after a long time, the first voice came from a long sigh, and then the first person said, "You go down~~~."
"Yes~~~" The herald rushed down as if he had been granted amnesty, as if he was about to die in the hall if he took half a step slowly.
It's no wonder that he is so frightened, because the news he brought ~~~ is too bad news to be bad, even if the news of the death of the Right Heavenly Master Zhang Liang two months ago is not necessarily comparable.
Yangzhou Yellow Turban Commander - a banner of the Yellow Turban Army - God Envoy Zhang Mancheng was killed ~~~ The whole house was shocked, it is not an exaggeration to say that it was a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the southern front of the Yellow Turban was only afraid that it would collapse, and now their main force in Anping County can be said to be the last remaining combat force.
"Zuo Tianshi arrives ~~~~" With a long shout, I saw a figure flash into the hall in an instant, and before everyone in the hall could react, this person had already appeared in front of them.
"Brother~~~ Is this serious?" Zuo Tianshi Zhang Bao, the role of more than 10,000 people under the Yellow Turban, the three brothers are ranked second, except for Zhang Jiao, he is the most powerful, and of course his strength is also the strongest.
The thin old man sitting in the first place, a trace of exhaustion flashed on his face, and he shook his head and sighed, "This is all providence~~~ It seems that we are still too anxious~~~~ Now even Manchengdu is unable to escape the catastrophe~~ Is it really the number of days? ”。
"This is impossible, I know best about Mancheng's strength, except for my brother, even me and the third child are far from being their opponents, how can they say defeat and defeat, there must be a reason for this, I will never believe ~~~."
"This is the case~~ What if you don't believe it~~ Now that we are afraid that the general trend of our Holy Sect has gone~~~."
"Brother can't be like this, the Yellow Turban Sect was created by you, think about what the scenery was at the beginning, now it's just a slight setback, how can you destroy yourself, we still have 100,000 elites in our hands, and there are still remnants of Qu Shuai in various places, as long as they are gathered, it is not without the ability to shock the majestic wind" Zhang Bao waved his sleeves and shouted excitedly.
The generals in the hall echoed one after another, but there was a look of horror in their eyes, Zhang Mancheng's death brought them too much damage, the southern front has always been the main combat power to contain the imperial court, although Yanyu and the two states have lost one after another, but it has not made everyone lose their fighting spirit, it is because of the main force in the south led by him Zhang Mancheng, now the divine envoy is dead, the southern dragons are leaderless, a plate of scattered sand, it is a matter of time before they are destroyed, only they are a lone army~~~ What else can the Yellow Turban Army do, everyone has begun to despair in their hearts.
"Do you have the determination to fight to the death?" Zhang Jiao saw that everyone was like this, although he couldn't bear it, he could only continue to preside.
"Don't worry, as long as they dare to come, we will call these miscellaneous people come and go," the generals chimed in.
Zhang Jiao nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then let's do their own duties~~~~ I expected that the army of the imperial court would be killed soon, since you have this determination, then prepare to fight, but I am not reluctant, if you want to leave, I Zhang Jiao will never stop you~~~~" After saying that, he stood up, shook his head slightly and walked towards the back hall, and Zhang Bao also followed closely behind.
When the generals in the hall saw the two leaving, they all fell silent again, and the people who were good friends hurriedly went out one after another, and each of them showed a look of disappointment in their eyes.
At the same time, the information of the great victory in the south also came from the tent of the emperor's father, and the generals all danced happily and happily.
"Father~~~ This time, only the main force of the thief's first horn is left, we have to take advantage of the situation to attack, and we must not give this credit to others" Huangfu Li on the side was overjoyed and hurriedly proposed.
Huangfu Song was also overjoyed when he heard this, and nodded in response, "My son is right, the Yellow Turban thief is about to end, the credit of this thief must be in our hands, as long as the thief's first horn is caught, our Huangfu family will not even be promoted to the third level~~~ I'm afraid it will not be difficult to get the position of the third prince when the time comes~~~Hahahaha~~~~."
The following generals were all overjoyed, and sent congratulatory words in parts, as if Huangfu Song had been sealed at this time, Liu Bei, who was on the side, shook his head secretly in his heart, and secretly said, "The famous generals of this world are also carried away by fame and fortune, this is probably not a good sign~~~~."
At this moment, the military master on the side said loudly, "The general has a heavy army, and I am afraid that someone in the DPRK will be on guard for a long time~~~ At this time, it is better not to be too ostentatious~~~~."
"Hmm~~ Nanrong means ~~ Don't we earn this battle feat?" Huangfu Song said with a little dissatisfaction.
"Of course not~~~" Fu Xie saw that Huangfu Song's face was angry, and hurriedly defended, "Of course, the battle merits must be earned~~~ and you must earn it~~ It's just that when you are sealed later, the general needs to restrain some ~~~ so as not to fall into the thieves' tricks."
Liu Bei was shocked in his heart, "There are really strange people around Huangfu Song, and he can keep his sanity at this time, thinking of this key ~~~ Sure enough, he is worthy of being a famous man in the northern land~~~."
Huangfu Song laughed and said, "Nanrong is too cautious~~~ I expect that the imperial court will appoint me to an official position, but it was appointed by the emperor himself, does anyone dare to make a fuss about it?" Okay~~ It's too early to mention this matter, let's wait until the time comes."
Fu Xie was silent for a while, nodded and said that it was the only way, Liu Bei saw that this matter was over, and when everyone was on the rise, he stepped forward and said, "General Huangfu, please ask the general to call the shots of what I mentioned earlier, my teacher is probably still suffering at this time, and I can't bear it, I hope to save his old man as soon as possible~~~."
Huangfu Song was stunned for a moment, and responded, "Oh~~~ By the way, have you found out about Lu Shangshu?" “。
The free man below reported, "The spy just came back today, saying that Lu Shangshu has escaped and is now being placed in the general's mansion, and his life is worry-free~~~ It's just that his official position may not be guaranteed~~."
When Liu Bei heard this, he was happy just now, and immediately turned to sorrow again, Huangfu Song looked at it and asked, "Xuande~~~ Do you hear it, Lu Shangshu is already fine, after the Yellow Turban is exterminated, I will naturally play the role of Bao Bao, and the official reinstatement should not be a problem, what else do you have to worry about?" “。
Liu Bei sighed and replied, "Thank you General Huangfu~~ Of course I'm happy that the family teacher is fine, but now that I have lost my official position, with the heart of the family teacher~~ I'm afraid it will be regarded as a great shame, his old man is old, and after a long time, I'm afraid there will be accidents~~~."
"This is also ~~~ That's good~~ I'll repair a letter and send it to Luoyang first, appease him well, and let him know your news, so that he can not only solve his knots~~ but also settle his mind, do you think it's feasible?".
"Then there is General Lao, I am grateful~~~."
"Hahahaha~~~Where to say~~~ Xuande Han clan relatives, willing to run around so much for the teacher, and take the risk to come here to see me, just this heart can move the heavens, I just raise my hand~~ It doesn't have to be like this, since it's okay, everyone will go down to rest for a few days, let's send troops to Xindu three days later, and take the Yellow Turban Nest !!."
Late that night, Liu Bei sat in the tent thinking about things alone, and after comforting Lang and Han Song for a few words, he went back to rest, after all, far water could not quench the thirst of the near, and the comfort he received was useless, and the two could only express their hearts slightly.
Just when Liu Bei was depressed in his heart, suddenly a voice came from outside, "Hasn't Xuande Gong rested yet?" “。
"Oh~~ But is it filial piety? Come in and talk~~~" Liu Bei immediately recognized Chen Zhen's voice, in the past few days, this person was the only one in the Huangfu Song army who was relatively close to him, and he had daily contacts, so he remembered his voice early.
"Hasn't Xuande Gong rested yet?" Chen Zhen turned over and entered the tent, although it was already a cold winter season, there was a brazier in the tent, and the surrounding sun was warm and sunny, and he did not feel cold.
Liu Bei smiled bitterly, invited Chen Zhen to sit down and asked, "Didn't you sleep when you got up your filial piety, so late at night, do you have something important to discuss with me?" “。
"Hehe~~~ There is something important to discuss, but I saw that there was a light in the Xuande public account, so I came here to visit, the heart of the public is well known, but even if you are distressed, it will not help~~~ It's better to look away, and if you exterminate the thieves as soon as possible, Lu Gong will naturally be reinstated."
"Alas~~~ I'm ashamed, as a student, I can't suffer for the teacher, I'm really incompetent~~~ Fortunately, the teacher can save his life, otherwise~~~ teach me how to live in the world~~~."
"Xuande Gong is benevolent and righteous, we are all impressed, rest assured~~~ General Huangfu has appointed me to Luoyang and his party, I will definitely handle this matter, Xuande Gong still has anything to worry about, just tell me, I will definitely try my best to do it."
"Oh~~ It turned out that filial piety was done in this matter, so I was relieved~~~ There is nothing to be entrusted, and after seeing the teacher, try to relieve him as much as possible~~~ Filial piety is such a talented person, and he will definitely soar in the future."
Chen Zhen smiled slightly and shook his head and said, "It's just a cloth cloth in the next place, and it is valued by General Huangfu, and being a master in the mansion is already a great gift, how can there be anything to think about~~~ Xuande Gong values it so much, but in the future, if there is a chance, Zhen will repay him with death."
"Filial piety doesn't have to be polite~~ I Liu Bei don't have other skills, but I haven't missed half a point to see people, with your ability, I will do something in the future!!" Liu Bei looked at Chen Zhen at this time, and sure enough, he found that this person's face was unusual, with a hint of wealth and wealth, but there was some cold air hidden between his eyebrows, which made Liu Bei a little surprised.
Seeing that the hour was not early, the two chatted a few more words after Chen Zhen got up to say goodbye, because he was going to leave early the next morning, so he didn't have a long talk, Liu Bei really lifted his spirits after sending Chen Zhen away, since the teacher was fine, his next task was to assist Huangfu Song to exterminate the yellow turban this morning.
Just when he was just getting excited, suddenly a figure rushed into the tent, and a palm ~~~ poisonous palm wind came to his face~~~~~
