Last time, Zhang Yan, who was hit by "Taiping Yaoshu", was awakened by Zhang Niujiao, and was encouraged by the eyes of the generals who supported him, reinvigorated himself, and decided to wipe out the remaining Zhang family forces.

Zhang Yan lifted his spirits and said forcefully: "The generals will listen to the order!" Come with me to the city to defend against the enemy! ”

Zhang Yan led his henchmen to the city. This was the first time he had seen Zhang Liang's besieging army. After seeing the thickness of Zhang Liang's army, Zhang Yan's confidence was even stronger.

Although the number of Zhang Liang's army was nearly half more than what Zhang Yan originally knew, compared with the 40,000 people on Zhang Yan's side, Zhang Liang's strength of less than 15,000 was still not enough, not to mention that Zhang Yan was now defending the city. What's even more ridiculous is that Zhang Liang has few soldiers on his side, and he even put on a posture to besiege the city, Zhang Yan decided to give Zhang Liang a dismount, and directly sent troops out of the city to destroy Zhang Liang, because after that, he had to concentrate on attacking Luoyang.

Zhang Yan turned back to his henchmen and asked, "Who of you helped me go down and destroy these clowns?" ”

Without waiting for Zhang Yan's henchmen to respond, they heard someone shouting from below the city: "Chu Yan! For the sake of power, you murdered your own master, and teamed up with Zhang Niujiao to kill your fellow disciples, which was a great rebellion, and people and gods were angry! Later, he framed the god general, and the wicked sued first, which was unkind and unjust! I, Zhang Liang, as a great doctor, will expel you from teaching today! Chu Yan! Hurry up and fight yourself with your hands, go out of the city and surrender, I can still leave you a whole corpse! Otherwise, after the city is destroyed, I will definitely break you into ten thousand pieces! ”

Zhang Yan heard Zhang Liang tell him about his improper position, he was terrified, he knew Zhang Jiao's influence in the Taiping Sect, he was afraid that the people below would turn against him because of this, so he hurriedly retorted loudly: "Zhang Liang! As the younger brother of my master, you actually colluded to murder my master! What good did that traitor promise you? Have you forgotten that Shizun is your own big brother? ”

Zhang Liang's scolding sounded again: "Chu Yan! You shameless villain! I will definitely avenge my big brother! ”

In terms of intimacy, the relationship between Zhang Liang and Zhang Jiao is closer, so Zhang Yan knows that if she continues to let Zhang Liang speak, more and more people will choose to believe Zhang Liang's words, and the more unfavorable it will be to herself. Now he is more anxious to kill Zhang Liang to avoid long nights and dreams.

Zhang Yan directly ordered the general: "Deng Mao, I will give you 5,000 soldiers and horses, you go out of the city first and rush Zhang Liang for a while, clear the place for the army to go out of the city." After speaking, Zhang Yan turned his head to Zhang Niujiao and said: "Third brother, you take 25,000 people, go out of the city after Deng Mao, and directly attack Zhang Liang's main camp, you must capture and kill Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang brothers, please!" ”

"Command!" Deng Mao and Zhang Niujiao each gave up their orders and turned around and left with their respective subordinates.

Zhang Yan and the rest of the people continued to stay in the city to observe the battle.

Zhang Liang saw that most of the figures around Zhang Yan had disappeared, and he knew that Zhang Yan was preparing to go out of the city to attack him directly. He also turned back into the army, telling them to get ready and wait for the right time.

Soon, the city gate opened, and Zhang Yan's troops rushed out. But not many people came out, and there was a sudden chaos at the city gate, Zhang Yan's soldiers actually drew swords at their colleagues, and the first to bear the brunt was Deng Mao and his personal guards.

Deng Mao was the first to go out of the city, and behind him were his own soldiers. Before the soldiers could figure out the situation, they were cut to the ground one after another.

Deng Mao found the noise behind him, turned around and saw his subordinates rebelling, he was shocked, and shouted: "You are going to rebel!" Kill all these rebels! ”

Among those who participated in the mutiny shouted: "Avenge the great sage and good teacher!" Answer the doctor and kill Chu Yan and his accomplices! ”

The soldiers who were originally going to follow Shangguan's orders and suppress the rebels began to hesitate, and they had already heard the rumors of Zhang Yan's murder, but they didn't know whether the rumors were true or not. In fact, many Taiping Sect members do not know that the two great doctors and the great virtuous teacher are actually brothers, and many people do not know that Zhang Yan and the great virtuous teacher are not father and son. The shorter the time of initiation, the less clear the relationship between the main leaders of the church.

But they know one thing, that is, the Taiping Sect founded by the great sage and good teacher saved them and saved their family's life, and they have always been grateful to the great sage and good teacher, otherwise they would not have heeded the call of the great sage and good teacher and rose up against the imperial court.

Zhang Yanjun kept stopping the pace of the attack, trying to ask the truth of the facts, and the answer he got was that the great doctor was the brother of the great sage and good teacher, and Zhang Yan's original name was Chu Yan.

The Taiping sect members are mainly from the people who are struggling at the bottom of the society, they have limited education, and they don't understand the big truths, but the blood relationship is now placed in front of them, and who to believe or not has become an obvious choice.

Many people began to join the rebellion spontaneously, and the scene became more and more chaotic and completely out of control.

After the chaos at the city gate, the Yellow Turban departments in the city heard the shouts of killing, and similar situations occurred one after another. First, some of the old Taiping sect members rebelled, and the newer members chose not to listen to the orders of the chief, and even the chief ordered them to suppress the rebellion, which would be exchanged for them giving their chief a fatal knife.

There are also soldiers who don't care if Zhang Yan is lying or not, they are the former Han army. They have no problem with who is going to pay them, as long as they don't owe them their salaries. But seeing the chaotic situation at this time, they chose to see the situation clearly and then said, whichever side has an advantage, they will help whichever side, and they must press the right treasure, don't give others a funeral in vain.

The soldiers were all feigning hesitation and refusing to step forward.

Only Zhang Yan's henchmen are still fighting bravely to kill the enemy and fight to supervise the battle. In fact, they have also received the favor of the Taiping Sect, but their fate is one with their own chief, and it is their chief who gives them more favors, although their chief uses the public funds of the Taiping Sect.

But after all, the pro-soldiers are small in number, and they can't make many waves in the chaotic battle, and their role is more to arouse the resentment of the hesitating part of Zhang Yanjun's army against them, because they are also responsible for supervising the war, and cut the butcher's knife at the hesitating soldiers, pushing the hesitating soldiers to their opposite.

Because after Zhang Yan exterminated Feng Zhen, he broke up the Feng Zhen's troops and his own troops, in an attempt to digest the Feng Zhen's troops in this way. But because of this, there was not a single army in the city that did not rebel, and not a single army obeyed the command.

The idea of creating chaos for Zhang Yan was made up by Zhang Liang himself, and his idea was to arrange for people to open the city gate, so that he could lead the army directly into the county seat and avoid the loss of the siege battle. Therefore, the order he gave to the people who entered Jizhou first was to organize the sect members to create chaos when he attacked the city or when Zhang Yan sent troops out of the city, and took the opportunity to seize the city gate and lead the army into the city.

It's just that Zhang Liang didn't expect the development of the situation to be completely out of his expectations, but fortunately, the situation is developing in a good direction.

Zhang Liang also noticed the chaos at the city gate.

Seeing that his arrangement really worked, Zhang Liang hurriedly ordered the army to rush to the city gate quickly, respond to the troops who grabbed the city gate, control the city gate, and let the army directly enter the city.

It's just that after Zhang Liang approached the city gate, he found a scene that made him stunned, the battle at the city gate was over, but the atmosphere was a little weird: there were a few corpses and wounded soldiers on the ground, and the army occupying the city gate was divided into two factions, guarding each other, but there was no intention of fighting.

Zhang Liang didn't know the situation and didn't dare to approach rashly, so he ordered the army to stop and stand by.

The confronting soldiers spotted Zhang Liang's army approaching, and one of the factions set aside a part to put on guard against Zhang Liang's army. On the other side, someone walked out of it and ran towards Zhang Liang's army.

Zhang Liang immediately saw clearly that the person who came was his little brother Mei Qianhua.

Zhang Liang didn't wait for Mei Qianhua to come to him, he pointed to the army guarding him and asked Mei Qianhua loudly: "Xiaomei, what's going on with them?" ”

Mei Qianhua was a little unhappy when she heard Zhang Liang call herself Xiaomei in front of so many people, but Zhang Liang had always called him like this, and this kind of unmanly name was much better than being called "no money to spend" by his companions.

Mei Qianhua came to Zhang Liang, and then said: "Big brother, little brother doesn't know what is going on with them, but they also helped us kill Deng Mao and his personal soldiers just now, there should be no malicious intent." ”

Zhang Liang was anxious to find Zhang Yan to settle the account, and he was not in the mood to pay attention to such a strange thing, so he instructed Mei Qianhua: "Then you continue to lead your people here to watch them, and I will lead people in to find Chu Yan's thief first." ”

After Zhang Liang finished instructing Mei Qianhua, he said loudly to the strange group of soldiers: "You retreat first, let the city gate out, so that we can pass." ”

But after Zhang Liang finished speaking, the other party did not retreat, Zhang Liang was about to get angry, and ordered the troops to attack directly. At this time, Zhang Ping came to Zhang Liang's side and stopped Zhang Liang and said a few words in Zhang Liang's ear.

Zhang Liang shouted to the strange group of soldiers again: "I just want to avenge my eldest brother, as long as Zhang Yan and Zhang Niujiao and other first offenders are headed, the rest will not be prosecuted." Get out of the way! ”

The strange group of soldiers was promised to be acquitted, and began to slowly retreat, giving up the entire city gate.

Zhang Liang led the troops through quickly and into the city, where he also found troops facing each other.

This time came out with Zhang Liang

This time, without waiting for Quan Xiaotian to speak, Wu Dalang opened his mouth first: "Brother, why don't you go back first, and I'll go there alone......"

Without waiting for Wu Dalang to finish speaking, Quan Xiaotian shook his head sharply and refused very exaggeratedly, he said, "How can this work!" I haven't led you to your resting place yet! ”

Wu Dalang felt that there was one more person around him, and it would be inconvenient to talk to Wu Dahe later, he still wanted to send Quan Xiaotian away, so he said: "I don't know how long I will talk to Brother Dahe later, so won't it delay your time?" Or I'll rest in Brother Dahe's tent. ”

Quan Xiaotian still shook his head and objected: "That's not good, the management in the barracks is tight, how can you live casually?" ”

Wu Dalang still wanted to argue, so he said: "I shouldn't stay here for too long, as soon as the second doctor has a reply, I will go back." Little brother, you can make it convenient! ”

Quan Xiaotian shook his head again and said, "Then I'll wait for you outside." ”

Seeing that Quan Xiaotian did not enter, Wu Dalang finally gave up, but at least he got the promise that Quan Xiaotian would leave him and Wu Dahe private space.

The two went to the station of the second brigade and asked for directions again.

The soldier who was asked for directions saw that the other party was his own person, and he was also very enthusiastic, saying that he knew Wu Dahe, and it happened that he was not on duty, so he could show them the way.

As soon as Quan Xiaotian heard that someone was helping to lead the way, it was like he was looking for Wu Dahe, so he kept saying thank you to the other party, and he also told the other party about his own affairs, which was not much different from the situation when he led the way to Wu Dalang just now.

Wu Dalang looked at Quan Xiaotian on the side, and there was some irony in his heart: Why does this Quan Xiaotian like to tell people about his family so much? I'm afraid that others won't know. But who would remember a little soldier like him? I don't know if we can survive this troubled world safely. Was he afraid that no one would know that he had ever existed if he died?

The new soldier didn't know that Wu Dalang was lamenting life, he chatted with Quan Xiaotian very enthusiastically, and exchanged names with Wu Dalang and Quan Xiaotian, his name was Mei Qianhua.

As soon as Quan Xiaotian heard Mei Qianhua's name, he said vigorously that there must be many birch trees in Mei Qianhua's hometown. He also said that he was born in the family's fields, and that his mother was still working in the fields before he was born.

The women of the poor families are different from the rich families, the daughters and young grandmothers of the rich families are closed at home, but the poor families can have so many scruples in order to make a living.

Mei Qianhua, like Quan Xiaotian, also likes to introduce others to the situation of her family and the customs of her hometown. He is a native of Youzhou, and there are indeed a lot of birch trees in his hometown, but his hometown was plagued by the Xianbei people, and he was forced to flee to Jizhou, but the government didn't care about his life or death, and it was the Taiping Sect that took him in.

Mei Qianhua's tragic experience evoked the painful memories of Wu Dalang and Quan Xiaotian, and the followers of the Taiping Sect basically went through all kinds of difficulties in life, and the Han government not only did not help, but intensified the increase in taxes, forcing them to a dead end.

The three of them were silent for a while, and they were not interested in chatting.

The journey to the tent where Wu Dahe lived was not far, and the three of them quickly arrived.

Wu Dalang said sorry to Quan Xiaotian and Mei Qianhua, left the two of them alone, and went in to find Wu Dahe by himself. He didn't notice that Mei Qianhua didn't leave, but stayed outside the tent door, talking to Quan Xiaotian without a match.

As soon as Wu Dalang entered the tent, he was discovered by soldiers who were resting in the tent.

The soldier asked Wu Dalang about his intention, and led Wu Dalang to Wu Dahe's bed.

At this time, Wu Dahe was sleeping. Wu Dalang thanked the soldier who led him first, and turned his head to wake up Wu Dahe, who was sleeping soundly.
