Jiang Sheng really wanted to accept these young men who were willing to follow, but after all, he didn't have a territorial power, and he was a civilian, so it was hard to say in the future, if he started recruiting troops privately, even Huangfu Song would not forgive him.

Jiang Sheng reported the people's voluntary participation in the army to Huang Fu Song, and Huang Fu Song was noncommittal. Jiang Sheng had no choice but to give up, but although these people did not join the army, they all expressed their support for Jiang Sheng, and if they needed it in the future, they could join at any time.

The early winter in Jizhou has always been cold, and this is just October, and it is as cold as 39 days. Huangfu Song sent several documents to Beijing, asking the imperial court to supplement the supplies for the officials and soldiers of Jizhou.

The ten permanent servants deliberately stayed in custody and did not report it, and was learned by the Taiwei Deng Sheng, who knelt in front of the Lingdi Palace and stated the benefits. After the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Uprising, Emperor Ling was angry and dismissed Yang Ci, the imperial lieutenant, and was replaced by the imperial servant Deng Sheng.

Emperor Ling severely reprimanded Zhang Rang and others, and sent wintering materials and grain and grass materials to the officials and troops of Jizhou with Taiwei Deng Sheng, and urged Huangfu Song to break the enemy as soon as possible.

The Yellow Turban Army is also facing the problem of wintering, but the outside of the city is defended by the officials and soldiers, and the materials cannot be transported in at all.

There are many bandits in Jizhou, most of them have joined the Yellow Turban Army, there are more than ten in Changshan County alone, although the combat effectiveness of the cottages is uneven, but the material reserves are extremely rich. It is precisely because of the support of cottages everywhere that Zhang Jiao's strength has been greatly expanded.

Now the problem is that there are things that cannot be transported to Guangzong, Yin Damu tried to transfer grain and grass to Guangzong, but the officials and soldiers robbed it halfway, and since then the cottages everywhere no longer dare to transport materials to Guangzong. Zhang Jiao promised to send heavy troops to open a bloody road to ensure the smooth entry of vehicles carrying supplies into the city.

Just when the official army and the Yellow Turban Army were preparing for the winter, Jiang Sheng commanded the troops to advance lightly and rushed forward, and suddenly seized the giant deer, cutting off the connection between the Yellow Turbans and Guangzong in the cottages of western Hebei. A large number of cotton clothes, bedding, charcoal and other wintering things were taken by Jiang Shengjun as his own.

After Zhang Jiao got the news, he was so angry that he couldn't afford to get sick.

Zhang Bao knew that Guangzong was short of supplies, so he sent elite troops to escort a large number of supplies south to support, Jiang Sheng had already found out the news, that is, he ordered Zhou Cang and Yu Ban to lead 2,000 cavalry to intercept along the way.

Zhang Liang learned that Zhang Bao was escorting supplies to Guangzong, and also sent 3,000 cavalry north to respond. In order to break through the encirclement of the official army, Zhang Liang personally commanded the infantry to fight the official army in the north of Guangzong.

Since this was a crucial battle that decided the life and death of the Yellow Turban Army of Guangzong, Zhang Liang personally supervised the battle and accepted this batch of materials at all costs.

Huangfu Song's official army was deployed in the north of Guangzong in large numbers, and repelled four attacks of Zhang Liang's army in a row, but its own losses were also very serious, and it could not replenish new troops for the time being, and in the fifth attack of Zhang Liang's army at any cost, the official army was defeated and retreated.

After paying nearly 5,000 casualties, Zhang Liang's army managed to take control of the northern outlying positions of Guangzong. Messengers were then sent to contact Zhang Bao's support forces.

At this time, Yu Ban and Zhou Cang had already intercepted Zhang Bao's support team, and hundreds of truckloads of supplies fell into the hands of the officers and soldiers. Seeing that the front was robbed, the follow-up convoy hurriedly turned around and withdrew to Quyang, leaving only dozens of truckloads of materials in the hands of the escort troops.

The 10,000 troops sent by Zhang Bao were led by the deputy general Yan Zheng, who could be regarded as the elite of the Yellow Turban Army. Yan ordered the troops to arrange the carts carrying grain and grass in a circular formation to lower the impact of the cavalry, and then distribute the arrows carried on the carts to the soldiers.

As soon as Yu Ban's cavalry was about to approach, the Yellow Turban Army burst into a burst of fire, and more than 30 officers and soldiers were killed and wounded. Yu Ban had no choice but to closely monitor outside the range of the bow and arrow, and Yan Zheng could not advance or retreat, so he secretly complained bitterly, so he sent a messenger to ask Zhang Bao for help.

Zhou Cangbu guarded hundreds of truckloads of supplies and waited for Jiang Sheng to send troops to receive them, but he found the Yellow Turban Army from a distance, which was the receiving force led by Tao Sheng, the general of Zhang Liang's department.

Zhou Cang looked at it and felt itchy in his heart, but Jiang Sheng's military order must not be disobeyed, so he formed a defensive formation to stand guard in place.

Tao Sheng was not stupid, he didn't dare to come hard when he saw so many cavalry staying there, so he formed a formation to confront Zhou Cangbu, and sent someone to inform Zhang Liang.

After Jiang Sheng got the news of Zhou Cang, he sent infantry to receive the materials intercepted by Zhou Cang. Zhang Liang also sent troops to prepare to seize the supplies controlled by Zhou Cang.

In terms of the speed of the march, Jiang Sheng's infantry still had the upper hand, and after Jiang Sheng's infantry arrived, they immediately transported supplies, and Zhou Cang led two thousand cavalry to escort them.

Tao Sheng anxiously waited for the arrival of reinforcements, but was disappointed, and could only watch as the officers and soldiers carried away the supplies that should have been theirs from under his nose.

After Zhang Liang's reinforcements arrived, Tao Sheng scolded angrily, but he was afraid of the strength of the official army, so he could only scold and enjoy it, and he didn't dare to chase after him with ten dares.

After hundreds of truckloads of supplies were transported back to Julu, Jiang Sheng ordered Yu Ban to withdraw.

Seeing that the forbidden cavalry had indeed withdrawn, Yan Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and transported the only dozens of truckloads of supplies to Guangzong.

Zhang Liang reported the battle situation to Zhang Jiao, and Zhang Jiao heard that the Yellow Turban Army had paid a heavy price before receiving dozens of truckloads of supplies, and vomited blood on the spot, and his condition became even more serious.

It is said that Jiang Sheng got these hundreds of truckloads of supplies, and directly sent people to the Huangfu Song camp.

Julu is the stronghold and gateway of the western part of Guangzong, a large number of materials were hoarded in Julu, Jiang Sheng occupied Julu, turned into a rich man, and after leaving enough for the headquarters, the rest were sponsored to Huangfu Song, and couldn't help but let Huangfu Song take a look at it again.

This year's Jizhou was surprisingly cold, and in mid-October, a layer of light snow had fallen.

Zhang Liang knelt in front of Zhang Jiao's couch and looked at the eldest brother. Zhang Jiao's hair was gray, skinny and skinny, his eyes were deep-set, and his eyes were blank.

"Second brother, I'm afraid it's time for me."

"Big brother-" Zhang Liang choked up a little and stroked Zhang Jiao's arm.

"Second brother don't have to be sad, I'll go west, you should be happy for me, but the great cause has not been accomplished, it's a pity!" Zhang Jiao took a breath and pointed to the collapsed cabinet.

Zhang Liang opened the cabinet and saw that there were ten scrolls wrapped in yellow silk, which were ten volumes of A, B, C, D, pente, hexageng, and non decay.

"The inside of the cabinet is a gift from the old fairy of Nanhua, the content is complicated, all-encompassing, now I will go, I will give this book to you for preservation, inherit my Taiping cause."

"Big brother, don't worry, I will stick to it." Zhang Liang said and locked the cabinet again.

"Well, go and call all the Qu Shuai." Zhang Jiaodao.

All the commanders of Guangzong had gathered in Zhang Jiao's room and listened quietly to what this great sage and good teacher said.

Zhang Jiao said again: "Everyone, I am about to go as a teacher, and I implore you here, I am here to serve General Digong as the main, continue my unfinished Taiping cause, and save the people from fire and water." Can you agree to be a teacher? ”

Zhongqu Shuai said: "I am willing to listen to the dispatch of the general of the earth, and I will not hesitate to go to the soup and fire!" ”

"Good! Good! Okay-" Zhang Jiao laughed and said a few words "good", and died of anger.
