Chapter 178: Bleak Sunrise

Last time, Zhang Jiao learned the news that the Han court had raised 20,000 troops to attack Jizhou through divination. If Zhang Jiao did not readjust his strategy and did not recruit troops, he would only be able to mobilize 20,000 troops to fight against the Han Court's Central Army.

Moreover, the Yellow Turban Army also faces a problem similar to Liang Xu's People's Self-Defense Army, that is, it is not fully equipped. In the Yellow Turban Army, only the people on the other side of Feng Zhen are fully equipped. This problem seriously affected the overall combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban Army.

Zhang Jiao knew very well that his 20,000 troops could not compare to the 20,000 troops of the Han Central Army. Therefore, he must stay on the front line and use his divination advantage to command in order to make up for the gap in strength between the Yellow Turban Army and the Hanting Central Army.

Zhang Jiao learned through divination that the Han court had completed the preparations for sending troops, and announced the withdrawal of the army overnight, and returned to Jizhou with them and 10,000 troops, leaving Zhang Yan with the remaining soldiers to continue the siege. Zhang Jiao arranged for Zhang Yan to wait for Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang to come over in the army to hand over, and after the handover, Zhang Yan needed to rush to Jizhou immediately to assist him.

When Liang Xu was defeated in the first battle, Zhang Jiao was on his way to Ye County.

In the early morning of the second day of Liang Xu's first defeat, the soldiers of the People's Self-Defense Army were awakened by the faint morning sun. But there are also seriously injured people who can't survive because of excessive blood loss, and they can never wake up.

A new day began, but everyone could not forget the day that had just passed, looking at the horrific corpses of their companions, in addition to crying, and vomiting in embarrassment. The vomiting was due to the discomfort of seeing the corpse, which should have happened yesterday when the battlefield was being cleaned, but at that time, people were either extremely sad or extremely afraid, so the discomfort was ignored. Now that the night has been spent peacefully, everyone's nerves have relaxed a little, and this discomfort has drowned everyone like a tide. Especially Liang Xu, who knew in his heart that he was safe, he even vomited out all the yellow bile water, and the appearance of the corpse was really terrifying.

But there is still a way to go. So when everyone finished throwing up and didn't eat breakfast, they set off again.

Although Liang Xu knew that the unit that suddenly appeared yesterday was not a threat to him, he didn't tell everyone about it because the explanation was not clear. The other party is the Yellow Turban Army, and the other side is the army of the imperial court, why would the other party let him go? This kind of thing can't be explained. It's just that since he knows that it is safe, Liang Xu still suggests that everyone find a village first, leave the seriously injured in the village to recuperate first, and the army will continue on the road, and then arrange for the convoy to come over and pull the seriously injured back, so that the recovery of the seriously injured is much better.

There is no problem with this, because everyone does not want to see anyone die, and now there are enough dead, and there are less than a third of the people left in the People's Self-Defense Army, and this is still counting all the wounded. It is comforting to say that a lot of loot has been harvested, and most of the people's self-defense forces can be equipped, but this refers to the surviving people's self-defense forces.

Among the leaders of the People's Self-Defense Army, Liang Xu, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei have always been in a very low mood, especially Zhang Fei, a simple man. There are less than half of the Zhuang Ding of the Zhang family left, which makes Zhang Fei blame himself, he feels that he failed to protect everyone. Fortunately, the little plum who was led by Zhuang Ding was clever and could speak, and he kept talking and talking nonsense in Zhang Fei's ear, which led Zhang Fei's attention away. Liang Xu thought that he could ignore the life and death of others, but when it came to the end, he knew that he could not get rid of the condemnation of conscience. And Liu Bei didn't speak, and everyone didn't know what he was thinking.

Liang Sheng and Liang San have seen too much life and death on the battlefield and have long been accustomed to it, so their emotions have not changed much, and Liang Sheng is still responsible for leading the scout team around to investigate possible dangers. Although Guan Yu was on the battlefield for the first time like most people, he was born in Jiangmen, and most of his ancestors died on the battlefield, so he also knew very well what the battlefield was all about, so he was not affected by everyone's emotions. Zhao Feng and Guan Yu's situation is similar, but Zhao Feng's feelings are more delicate than Guan Yu's, so Zhao Feng's mood is not high, but it is not as bitter as Liang Xu, Liu Bei, and Zhang Fei.

On the second night after the defeat and retreat, Liang Xu secretly divined in the tent, and he wanted to know the result of the Youzhou Yellow Turban's encirclement and suppression of Zhao Ergou's department.

As expected, the troops sent out earlier by the Youzhou Yellow Turban intercepted Zhao Ergou's troops on the way to Tangcun, and in the end, Zhao's Ergou troops were completely wiped out, and not a single prisoner was left. Zhao Ergou's misdeeds were only a secondary reason, and the main reason was that Zhang Jiao didn't want to leave any evidence for those people. Zhang Jiao wanted to protect his son at first, and after making a decision, he asked his subordinates to weaken Feng Zhen's power by the way, although Zhao Ergou's three hundred people were just a drop in the bucket for Feng Zhen, but Zhang Jiao was disgusted by those guys recently, so Zhao Ergou's troops became Zhang Jiao's punching bag.

Liang Xu saw the dead man on the battlefield again, and felt stuffy in his chest, but it was not as unbearable as in the morning. Liang Xu "watched" the two aliens cleaning up the battlefield under the command, and he was still uncomfortable, although it was those two people who led people to save him, but after all, they were not Han. Could it be that his father really colluded with other races? But I hadn't heard my dad mention this stubble before. Could it be a spy mixed in by an alien? Liang Xu decided that he must come up with the bottom of these two aliens.

Liang Xu kept going back in time through divination software, and found that the two aliens had joined the Taiping Sect for more than six years and were old followers of the Taiping Sect. There has always been no out-of-the-ordinary performance, to be exact, it should be that they have not been in contact with the clansmen, but Liang Xu does not deny that it is because the divination time interval he adjusted is relatively long, and he is likely to ignore it. In addition to not seeing them contact with the clansmen, Liang Xu found that they were both actively involved in the underground sabotage activities of the Taiping Sect, and because they were both nomads, they were superb in riding and had made many meritorious contributions.

Liang Xu continued to go back and pushed forward for another half a year, during which the living conditions of these two aliens were very poor, as if they were fleeing. It is precisely because of their alien status that they have suffered the humiliation of the Han people, but fortunately, the alien who shaved his head has the skills to drive away all the Han people who want to trouble them, but they did not kill anyone, probably because they are taboo in the land of the Han Dynasty.

But after all, there are only two of them, and no matter how capable they are, they can't stand up to the whole society. Eventually, the two men had their money stolen, and their weapons and horses were swindled.
