Chapter Eighty-Three: Five Days and Six Cities (10)
"Gongming, order your soldiers to bury the pot and cook, don't scatter the formation, it's the middle of the day, the scorching sun is in the sky, wait for the sun, and march to Kunyang." Liu Fan instructed Xu Huang.
The Han Dynasty is divided into 12 hours, the time of the middle of the night, the time when the rooster crows, the time of Pingdanyin, the time of sunrise, the time of eclipse, the time of Yuzhongsi, the time of noon, the time of the sun, the time of feeding, the time of the sun, the time of the people. The middle of the night is equivalent to 23 o'clock to 1 o'clock in the morning, and so on.
Although it is not yet the middle of May, the weather is too good today to be suitable for the march of the army at noon. Eradicating the Yellow Turban is not in a hurry at this time.
Let the soldiers rest for an hour, after the sun, the weather is cool, and when the march reaches Haihai, it will not be far from Kunyang.
"No!" Xu Huang turned around and wanted to leave.
"Komei, wait a minute!" Liu Fan stopped Xu Huang and said to him, "Let the leader of the Linying Yellow Turban bring up."
After a while, a man in his thirties was escorted up by soldiers.
"The villain meets the general." The leader of the Yellow Turban in Linying County hurriedly bowed when he saw Liu Fan.
Liu Fan ordered the soldiers to retreat.
Although there were only two people in the camp tent, Liu Fan and Linying Yellow Turban Leader, he did not dare to make a mistake at all. Legend has it that tearing apart a living person in this life is as simple as tearing a flatbread by hand.
"Who are you?" Liu Fan asked him.
"The villain's name is Gao Jun, he was ordered by Bocai to guard Linying County, because he was bewitched by Bocai, he had to join the Yellow Turban, I didn't do the same as other Yellow Turban leaders, bullying the people, if the general spared the villain's life, from now on, plough the fields, but die." Gao Jun replied to Liu Fan.
After the uprising, Gao Jun found that the enemies of the rebel army were not only officers and soldiers, but also powerful people in various states and counties, and some of the main forces guarding the city were not officers and soldiers, but strong private soldiers.
Some big families have thousands of diners, and they can take out weapons and armor at any time to arm, and they are even braver than officers and soldiers.
The cities of Xuxian, Yingyin, and Yingyang all have Haoqiang families to help defend the city, otherwise they would have been broken by the large number of yellow turbans.
In history, Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and after welcoming the Son of Heaven to Xuxian County, he changed his name to Xuchang.
Liu Fan didn't speak, and walked slowly around Gao Jun a few times, Gao Jun was uneasy, I don't know what Liu Fan's intentions are?
"Do you know me?" Liu Fan approached three feet away from Gao Jun and stared at him and asked.
Gao Jun's figure trembled, and he said honestly: "The general is famous all over the world. The general loves the people like a son and is invincible. Everyone in the world knows the benevolence of generals. ”
After Bocai 100,000 horses defeated Zhu Yun, he was unstoppable, and he had the potential to go straight to Luoyang, but he was defeated by the person in front of him, as a fellow party, how could he not be feared?
"I originally didn't want to kill ordinary Yellow Turban soldiers, but I will kill Yellow Turban leaders like you." Liu Fan's voice was majestic and said coldly.
"The general spares his life!" Gao Jun knelt down instinctively, his heart was cold.
"But there is a word called atonement!" Liu Fan turned around and said to Gao Jun again.
Gao Jun's heart went up, and he hurriedly said: "If the general has an order, the villain will definitely be broken to pieces, and repay the general's grace for not killing."
"Do you know the situation of the yellow turbans in Kunyang County and Wuyang County?" Liu Fan turned around again, helped Gao Jun up, and asked.
"The Yellow Turbans of Kunyang and Wuyang together do not have 8,000 people, and the Yellow Turbans in both counties are commanded by a person named He Man, He Man is not the commander of the Yellow Turbans on either side, he belongs to the rising star of the Yellow Turbans, and is deeply trusted by Bocai. It is extremely brave, and its courage is no worse than that of Bocai and Pengtuo, and it is nicknamed 'Intercepting the Sky Yaksha'. Gao Jun replied to Liu Fan.
Wuyang and Kunyang belong to the border of Yingchuan, and below is Nanyang County, and the border between Nanyang and Yingchuan is also the territory of the Yellow Turban. However, the yellow scarves of Li County and Ye County obeyed Zhang Mancheng's dispatch.
It is precisely because of this that Bo Cai was relieved to send only 8,000 Yellow Turban soldiers to guard Kunyang County and Wuyang County.
"Hmmm! Then you think that if I lead the army to Nanyang, can I defeat Zhang Mancheng? Liu Fan then asked Gao Jun.
"Although Zhang Mancheng carried the momentum of attacking and killing Nanyang Taishou Chu Gong, the general, you destroyed more than 100,000 troops in Bocai, and the soldiers were invincible. Zhang Mancheng is just another wave of talent for you. Gao Jun said to Liu Fannuo.
The tone is respectful, with a bit of sycophancy.
"After Zhang Mancheng attacked and killed Chu Gong, more than 100,000 people occupied Wancheng, Wancheng is a strong city in the world, no city in Yingchuan can compare, how difficult it is to defeat Nanyang Yellow Turban!" Liu Fan sighed, shook his head and said.
Gao Jun was speechless, he didn't dare to tell Liu Fan a way to attack Wancheng, and he didn't have that ability.
"I have a plan, if it can be realized, Nanyang can be determined." Liu Fan then said to Gao Jun.
"Please elaborate, General." Gao Jun couldn't figure out what Liu Fan meant.
"Among the tens of thousands of surrendered yellow turbans outside, you will choose a hundred brave yellow turbans and go to Wancheng with you to join Zhang Mancheng, and when someone attacks Zhang Mancheng in the next day, you will raise a black scarf outside the city one day, and you will lead a hundred yellow turban warriors to attack the north gate of Wancheng in the middle of the night. The inside should be combined with the outside, how can Wancheng not be broken? After the deed is completed, I will reward you with a thousand gold, and the rest of the warriors will be rewarded with a hundred gold, and when the time comes, you will return to your hometown and become a rich man, wouldn't it be happy? Liu Fan said indiscriminately.
There are not many people in the hundreds, and no one will doubt it when they join the Nanyang Yellow Turban.
Among the 70,000 surrendered yellow turbans, 100 people were selected, almost one in a thousand, and each could be used as five.
The combination of grace and power made Gao Jun's heart surge.
"The villain will help the general take Wancheng." Gao Jun said without hesitation.
Gao Jun has no choice, as the so-called person who knows the times is Junjie. With a calculating plan or an unintentional intention, he led an elite soldier to attack a city gate in the middle of the night.
Zhang Mancheng was belligerent, took Wancheng, and after attacking and killing Chu Gong, he was arrogant and frequently sent troops to attack the counties of Nanyang, Nanyang is the world's leading county, and there are many families. It won't be long before Zhang Mancheng dies without a place to be buried, and Wancheng will be guarded by Zhao Hong, the deputy general of the Nanyang Yellow Turban. Remember. At the end, Liu Fan said to Gao Jun again, as if he was an uncertain prophet.
Liu Fan's purpose is to let Gao Jun firm his position, so that the bird will not come out of the cage and never fly back. Even play a hand for yourself.
Liu Fan can't afford to lose, he wants Gao Jun to tremble even if he leaves him, under his own residual power.
“…… The villain understands. "I want to say something, but I don't dare to say it. Gao Jun was a little skeptical of Liu Fan's words.
Zhang Mancheng has more than 100,000 people, as long as he is not forced to the end of the road, he will not die so easily.
Those who are warm-hearted, wise and brave, and those who plan and then move, can win all battles.
The courage of a husband, the eyes of the world, the warlike will die.
