Chapter 120: The Yellow Sky Is Not the Sky After All
The name of the country is still Guanghe, but more than half of this year, the time is even August, and more than two months have passed since Xiang Cheng and his party went to find the "treasure of the King of Chu". And the wheels of history are still staggering and heavy and slowly pressing on the body of the Yellow Turban Army.
Beginning in April, Zhu Jun's troops entered Yingchuan first and were defeated by the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai Bocai. Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song retreated to the county seat of Changshe, and Bocai immediately besieged the city.
In May, Huangfu Song set up a plan of night attack and fire attack, and defeated the Bocai army. The thief chief Bocai took advantage of the chaos to leave, but unfortunately he was surrounded by the cavalry captain Cao Cao, who led thousands of people, and Bocai was also among them. When Emperor Ling heard this, he was overjoyed and promoted Cao Cao to a first-class official with a reward of 10,000 taels. He Jin, the newly sealed general, investigated and handled the case of Ma Yuanyi, and the Zhongchang servants Feng Zhen and Xu Feng were implicated and punished together. He Jin was made cautious because of this.
Xiang Cheng, the backbone of the Yellow Turban, together with Gan Ning, Ma Zhong and other Yellow Turban thieves, will leave the camp of Wei County for unknown reasons, and there has been no news since then. The Jizhou Yellow Turban Army lost its rules for a while, and was defeated by Lu Zhishuai's army, with more than 10,000 people. Zhang Jiao fled in a hurry and slowly retreated to Guangzong.
In June, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun defeated the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai Peng Tuo in Xihua County, Runan County, and then leveled the Yellow Turban of Chen State, so far, Yuzhou was pacified. Huangfu Song attributed the credit to Zhu Jun, and the imperial court worshiped Zhu Jun as the general of the town thief, sealed the Xixiang Marquis, and turned to the Yellow Turban Army of Nanyang County, Jingzhou, and Huangfu Song sealed the capital of the Township Marquis, and led the army to the east to attack the Yanzhou Yellow Turban Army.
In the same month, Zhang Mancheng, the Yellow Turban Army of Nanyang, led the Yellow Turbans who did not go north with Ma Yuanyi, and rebelled in Nanyang, claiming to be Qu Shuai.
After the town thief Zhonglang defeated Zhu Jun and broke the Yingchuan Yellow Turban Army, he immediately turned to attack the Yellow Turban Army in Nanyang County. Nanyang guarded Chu Gong too much, and then the new Taishou Qin Jie killed Zhang Mancheng. The Yellow Turban Army took Zhao Hong as the commander, and the number reached more than 100,000, and they occupied Wancheng.
Lu Zhi led the army to defeat the Yellow Turban Army of Jizhou, Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang retreated to Guangzong City, and his brother Zhang Bao defended Quyang City. Lu Zhi made Guo Dian, the Taishou of Julu County, besiege Quyang, and led his army to surround Guangzong, making equipment to prepare for the siege. After returning to Beijing, the superintendent army Xiaohuangmen Zuofeng framed Lu Zhi for passive fighting, besieged but not attacked, Liu Hong was furious, and requisitioned Lu Zhi back for crime, and Dong Zhuo Baidong Zhonglang would take over the Jizhou war.
In July, Dong Zhuo led his army and Guo Dian to attack Quyang, but it was still not conquered. The imperial court ordered Huangfu Song to attack the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou in the north, and Dong Zhuo requisitioned it back for his crimes.
In August, the Han court thought that the Yellow Turban Army of Jizhou could not be pacified for a long time, and ordered Huangfu Song to lead troops to suppress it.
At this time, Zhang Jiao should have died of illness, perhaps because of Xiang Cheng's crossing, although Zhang Jiao was tired and sick at this moment, he was not dead. I hung it with one breath, and miraculously survived.
The Jizhou Yellow Turban Army was stationed in Guangzong under the leadership of his brother Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang led the army to fight bravely and well, and the Huangfu army could not win. The next day, Huangfu Song did not come out of the army, but just waited for the opportunity, like a poisonous snake entrenched on the side, and if he did not move, he was shocked.
In the early morning of the third day, the Huangfu army arrived in unison, and the Yellow Turban army was caught off guard after days of hard fighting without getting enough rest.
Zhang Liang didn't know how many people he had overturned with a horse lance, but it was a pity that the Han army was still dense. Although the number of Huangfu Song's troops was far less than that of the Yellow Turban Army, these people were far superior to the Yellow Turban Army in terms of equipment and training. Although it is not enough to defeat one against a hundred, it can still be done with one against two.
Looking at the Han army around him, Zhang Liang only felt that his arm was getting heavier and heavier, and this horse lance seemed to be about to come out of his hand. As soon as the Han army saw that the local generals were weak, they flew up like jackals.
"Phew!"
With the neighing of the war horse under Zhang Liang's crotch, Zhang Liang fell off the horse in despair, and the horse didn't know how many knives and guns he had suffered, just seeing that the blood was out of breath just after falling to the ground. And Zhang Liang rolled on the spot, and where he had just fallen off the horse, there were 100 spears stabbing him.
This situation is naturally evil to the extreme, but Zhang Liang is a rough man, there is still his seriously ill eldest brother in this Guangzong City, if he falls at this moment, I am afraid that the eldest brother is even more dangerous. Therefore, Zhang Liang scolded: "Damn it." Then he turned over and jumped up, and the horse lance was "suddenly" several times, and the Han army around him seemed to cooperate with him and fell down in an instant. Zhang Liang took advantage of the situation and danced the horse lance, but unfortunately the manpower was sometimes poor, and the horse lance was blocked by the combined force of the Han army before he could take off a few more heads.
The cold light flashed, and before Zhang Liang could take the horse lance back to the Han army's spear, he rushed to Zhang Liang's throat. Seeing that the general trend was gone, Zhang Liang scolded in his heart: "A bunch of bitches raised by a bunch of bitches." I pulled the horse lance that was intertwined with those soldiers again, but unfortunately these blades were bitten too tightly, but they couldn't be recovered.
"General Rengong, I'm here to help you!" At the moment of the first attack of the front army, a shout came into Zhang Liang's ears, but unfortunately, he only heard the sound but did not see anyone.
The soldiers of the Han army were not slow to start, and the spear and iron spear passed through the body in an instant. Simply when Zhang Liang heard the voice, he avoided his throat in time, and counted it carefully, but the spear inserted in his shoulder and arm was a full seven handles.
"Drink!"
Another shout, Zhang Liang didn't make a sound when these soldiers were penetrating their bodies, and this one was naturally not what he shouted, but the voice just now. After this sound, I only saw a flash of knife light flying from the sky, and it was chic and abnormal.
The knife was not about three feet long, but the handle was tied by a long iron chain, and with the swing of the chain, the knife danced back and forth in the air as if it were alive, like a dragon.
"Xingba!" Zhang Liang saw this knife but instantly guessed the person, such a strange thing, or it seemed that the weapon of Qimen was only Gan Ning's among the people he knew.
And this person did not disappoint him, it was that Jinfan Gan Xingba!
Hearing that Zhang Liang called his name, Gan Ning smiled, but did not answer. The suo lian knife was pulled by him, and the Han soldiers who surrounded Zhang Bian were all separated, and then, the rope chain knife flew towards this side, once again taking the lives of seven or eight soldiers.
The Han army beside Zhang Liang was terrified for a while, an enemy that could not be killed was not terrible, but what was terrible was an unknown enemy.
Gan Ning has not been on the official battlefield since he followed Xiang Cheng, but now it is like a divine soldier descending from the sky, giving people courage and confidence.
Zhang Liang couldn't fight anymore at this time, but he was desperate for pain, but he pulled back the strangled horse lance and shouted: "My Yellow Turban Heavenly Soldier has arrived, and you don't surrender quickly!" ”
Zhang Liang said that this was nothing more than saying that Gan Ning was alone, but these words rushed into the ears of these ignorant soldiers, but it was tantamount to "When God returns, those who stand in the way will die". For a while, the people around Zhang Liang were silently missing.
"The Heavenly Soldiers have arrived!"
This time it was not Zhang Liang who shouted, nor was it the Yellow Turban Army around him, this voice was just made by one person.
Following the sound, a yellow horse was carrying a tower-like giant man on the side, and this man was holding a lovely wife in his arms.
