Chapter 277 Wang Zun lures Zhang Jiao alone
The fire burned for three days and three nights, although Huangfu Song ordered the siege of the city that night, but it was not the Yellow Turban Army that had already been in chaos that blocked the army, but the inextinguishable raging fire, and when they entered the city, the city was already in disarray, and even the city lord's mansion was razed to the ground.
Standing at the head of the city, looking at the burned Xindu, everyone's mood fell to the bottom, the fire was completely unexpected by everyone, but I didn't expect it to spread to the whole city, not to mention the granary in the city, even the people's houses are not a few intact, where it is possible to scavenge excess grain.
"It's much worse than I expected, who set this fire?" Fu Xie had a question in his heart, and said in his mouth.
"None of this matters anymore, what should we do next?" Huangfu Song asked worriedly.
Although a big fire broke through the Xindu, but for Huangfu Song, but there was no benefit at all, the Yellow Turban thief was not in the city, 100,000 thieves burned, escaped, and there were not many real kills, in the chaos, the thieves and soldiers were wide open, all vying to rush outward, in order to avoid losses, Huangfu Song's various departments tried to suppress a few miles away, so there were many people who fled in the chaos, and there were a large number of ordinary people mixed with them, and it was impossible to check them one by one.
Now that the city is dilapidated, let alone the grain and grass, Huangfu Song can be said to have an empty city, useless.
Fu Xie's face darkened, and he sighed and said, "If there is no food in the city, my army may only be able to support it for three days, the general~~ The top priority is to give priority to food and grass~~~."
"Three days~~~" Huangfu Song silently read, "Three days, what else can we do?" ”。
"For today's plan, there is only one way~~~Borrow grain~~".
"Borrowing grain~~ Won't you say it?".
Fu Xie nodded, "General~~ Time waits for no one, the army is in chaos, all the plates are lost, don't forget, there is a horn in Quyang, although the letter is broken, but the yellow turban has not been extinguished, we can't be defeated~~~."
"Yes, it's rumored that I'm going to order ~~Target~~ Julu, my old face~~ It seems that I'm going to sell it again."
The fire in Xindu came too abruptly, not only disrupted the arrangement of the Han army, but also caught the Yellow Turban Army off guard.
"Master~~ Xindu City is our foundation, we can't give it up easily, please give me 10,000 soldiers and horses, I will definitely take the city back," a Yellow Turban general said loudly.
Although this person said passionately, but no one applauded, at this time such words can only be on paper, everyone knows~~ Huangfu Song's 100,000 Yanmen elites are in Tangyang, not to mention 10,000~~ Even if the whole city is dispatched, it is impossible to break through, and now people are waiting for a decisive battle, if this person has not been loyal, I am afraid that some people will think that he has ulterior motives.
Zhang Jiao waved his hand and sighed, "It's too late~~~ I had expected that Xindu would change, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly~~~" Others were in Quyang, and they expected that there was no general in Xindu, and the army's heart would float, although he made a dangerous move~~ cut off Huangfu Song's back road and grain road, but Xindu was finally lost.
"There has been no news of the people we sent to ask for help so far, these bastards must be afraid of death and dare not come~~~" A person in the hall shouted angrily, which immediately caused everyone to echo it.
"What's the use of talking about these now, there is a way to fly separately when the catastrophe comes, and they don't come~~ What can we do."
Everyone was talking, Zhang Jiao sat in the main position and frowned, it turned out that he sent out more than one way to ask for help, although the Yellow Turban Army at this time was wiped out a lot, but there were still many remnants in various places, and there was more than one place with huge power.
Zhang Yan in the north~~ 100,000 elites in the Black Mountain, Bu Si in Dongqingzhou is more than 200,000 people to dominate the party, although Yuzhou Bocai was beaten to pieces, but also fled to the deep mountains of Yanzhou with 50,000 or 60,000 horses, and hid, even Liu Shi, who went away from the outside of the fortress, has no less than 100,000 elite soldiers under his account, not to mention the remnants of Yangzhou Zhang Mancheng, under the leadership of Zhao Honghe Wenfang and others, he is also dealing with the Han army.
But don't look at the existence of such a powerful subordinate in the Yellow Turban Army, but it can't be twisted anywhere, Zhang Jiao's influence is still somewhat powerful in the sect, but in the eyes of the leaders from all walks of life, there is not much left.
"Everyone~~~ So far, I have no other way, there is no reinforcements, I can only sit and wait for a way, if you want to leave, I will never stop you~~~ If you can save your life and continue to spread my Yellow Turban teachings in the future, I will die without regrets."
"What did the master say, how can we be greedy for life and afraid of death, not to mention that he has not yet come, even if the elite of the entire Han Dynasty is here, we are not afraid of him, there is a holy religion with the master, and we swear to live and die with the master!!" The general at the beginning shouted loudly, his loyalty was truly different.
"Hey~~~Why bother~~~" Zhang Jiao sighed, and was just about to speak, when suddenly a guard outside the house reported that "Master~~~ Someone asked to see him!" ”。
"Who?".
"It is said that it is Zhang Qushuai's Lingshi ~~~".
"Oh! Call him in~~" Zhang Jiao's eyes flashed, Zhang Yan was the closest to him, but he didn't send someone here until many days later, and his heart couldn't help but be full of doubts.
After a while, a man in white stepped in, with a serious expression, and I had a white cloth bag in his hand, like the shape of a weapon, and glanced at everyone in the hall, and then looked at Zhang Jiao, who was sitting in the first place.
"You were sent by Zhang Yan?" Zhang Jiao didn't wait for anyone to speak, and asked first.
The first time I saw the real leader of the Yellow Turban Army, I am afraid that there is no one in the world who will not feel frightened, the old man in front of him is wearing a dark yellow robe, holding a handful of dust in his hand, and looking at himself with a ** appearance.
"Bland~~~" The first thought in the heart of the white-clothed man was like this, the Taoist priest in front of him looked very old, a long beard had already passed the chest, the two white eyebrows hung down obliquely, his eyes were half-open and half-closed, and there was no trace of true qi leaking out of his eyes, some were just plain as water, gentle as tea.
"It was sent by Zhang Shuai below, please say hello to the master~~~."
"What's your name?".
"In Xia Wang Yue, Naizhou people's clan, Zhang Shuai often mentions the master, and the little one finally saw the true face of the master today~~~~."
"Wang Yue? I heard that there is also a person named Wang Yue on the rivers and lakes, who is prestigious, ~~~".
"Hehe~~~ It's just the same name under it, so the master smiled, the small one is just a pawn under Zhang Shuai's account, how can it be compared with the Sword Saint."
Zhang Jiao nodded and said, "This is also true, I can't feel that momentum from you, you are here today~~ but on behalf of Zhang Yan."
"Exactly~~ Zhang Shuai knew that the master was in Quyang, and immediately ordered troops to help, how could it be that Gongsun Zan and others under Liu Yu's account in Youzhou were blocked for many days, Zhang Shuai was worried about the safety of the master, and finally only brought his own soldiers around the trail to meet the master, and the small one came here to report the news first."
Zhang Jiao's eyes flashed, and he responded, "You came to report the news, can you bring the book I wrote to him?" Show me!! ”。
The white-clothed man's face did not change, he raised the cloth bag with both hands and said, "Master, please see, this is Zhang Shuai's saber, and Zhang Shuai, who is a little one, specially gave it to the little one as a witness, saying that the master will believe it when he sees this knife."
Someone turned out to be a cloth bag, slowly opened, revealing the treasure knife inside, Zhang Jiao raised his hand slightly, Buddha dust seemed to be alive, and a rolled up treasure knife and brought it over.
With a draw, the treasure knife was unsheathed~~ A knife aura suddenly flashed in the hall, Zhang Jiao gently stroked it with his hand, and saw two small characters engraved on the side of the knife, which was Zhang Yan's name, and there were four boys on the back, writing that the treasure knife covered the sky.
"This is exactly what I gave to Zhang Yan at the beginning, the treasure knife covers the sky~~~ The knife is still there, but this day is still that day~~~ He can give you the knife, it can be seen that he trusts you, what is his plan?".
"Back to the master, although Zhang Shuai avoided the eyes and ears of Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan, but the number of people he brought was limited, so Zhang Shuai said that he should not make a big show at this time, and only help at the most critical time, so that he could not paralyze the enemy and not be detected by Youzhou, so Zhang Shuai was very careful on this trip."
Zhang Jiao nodded and said, "You mean that he doesn't plan to show up now?" ”。
"That's exactly what Zhang Shuai meant, but if the master wants to see Zhang Shuai, he can still take the risk of coming here once."
"No need, he's really good in secret, but I do want to meet him, so it's okay, you take me to meet him, so that no one will find out."
The man in white saluted and said, "If the master has this intention, the little one will lead the way."
Late that night, Zhang Jiao, under the leadership of the man in white, left Quyang lightly, except for a few personal guards, the rest stayed in the city and went to the mountains by night.
From Quyang out to the northwest direction of more than 40 miles, there is a hill here, usually because of the proximity to the official road, often some merchants like to enjoy the cool here, but at this time the soldiers are in chaos, Jizhou is the heavy place of the military expedition, so here is becoming more and more desolate, no one cares, the weeds in the mountains are luxuriant, and the situation in the mountains can not be seen clearly by the moonlight.
Zhang Jiao came to the foot of the mountain, looked around, and asked softly, "Are they hiding here?" ”。
"Guru don't have to be suspicious, I have a flute, as long as I enter the mountain, I will be answered as soon as I blow it."
"Lead the way~~~" Changjiao said flatly, and he didn't say much, just followed him into the mountains.
A few people walked and stopped, and finally entered the hinterland of the mountain, at this time the surroundings were silent, except for the whirring wind, there was no movement, and the man in white still led the way in front like that, and never even looked back.
At this moment, Zhang Jiao suddenly stopped, his face was still so peaceful, and he said softly, "When you get here, you can finally tell the truth, right?" Do you have to go further? ”。
The man in white stood still, still didn't turn back, because he had already felt an unusual atmosphere from behind him, although Zhang Jiao didn't spread out his skills, but the breath had locked himself, he suddenly felt like a mang on his back, telling himself not to move again, a trace of cold sweat slowly flowed down from his sideburns.
"Has the Guru finally found out?" The man in white asked, turning his back.
"Although I felt something was wrong at the beginning, I didn't feel until the mountain, you can tell your true identity now, and the breath in your body can't be hidden~~~~."
The man in white slowly turned around, his eyes saw the prestigious Zhang Jiao again, this time he looked at each other, he finally felt the pressure, this pressure came from the heart, this is the pressure of the realm.
"Under the king~~~ The master is polite," the man in white slowly opened his mouth and said.
