Chapter 38: Rush to the Rescue

Tong Lin's letter was written very simply, with a few words:

The husband entrusts the concubine to do it

Zhang's Shuangshu is smart and virtuous, and the concubine is very happy, and she is set to be thoughtful for her husband

The concubine knows the ambition of the husband Jun Honghu, and the three-year period is long and long

The concubine is full of thoughts, and she can't sleep at night, and she only hopes that when her husband is free, she often thinks of the concubine's affection

Lovesick in the middle of the night, please forgive the concubine's daughter's heart, and there is no end. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Jiang Sheng didn't miss his beloved wife, and often sat down in the middle of the night until dawn. But Gentle Township is a hero's mound, in this troubled era, where will there be a comfortable nest? Talking about children's private affairs, but I don't know how long I can live? The only goal is to calm down the troubled times, live and work in peace and contentment, and then indulge in the countryside. And Jiang Sheng knows how difficult it is to achieve this goal?

Jiang Sheng still decided to reply to Tong Lin, so that his thoughts entered Tong Lin's heart, as well as Zhang Wanrong and Zhang Wanying, in fact, Zhang's second sister entered Jiang Sheng's bed first, Tong Lin can take care of the two, but it is Jiang Sheng's blessing, and his wife and concubine live in harmony, which is naturally a man's great blessing.

A few days later, Yang Yuan wanted to go south to return to the Black Mountain area, so Jiang Sheng handed over the letter to Yang Yuan to take back to Changshan, and sent another letter to express his gratitude to Yang Feng.

Deng Mao had already surrendered to Jiang Sheng, and most of the Yellow Turban soldiers under his command were willing to follow Deng Mao, Guo Xun was afraid that Deng Mao would rebel, so he scattered the Yellow Turban and distributed them to all walks of life. Although Deng Mao had a stump in his heart, he also knew what Guo Xun meant, if the Yellow Turban still gathered under Deng Mao's hands, I am afraid that not only would it be difficult for him to survive, but also Jiang Sheng. So he went to persuade in person, and all the Yellow Turban soldiers also understood Deng Mao's considerations, and accepted the arrangement of the Youzhou Army one after another.

Zou Jing originally wanted Deng Mao and Zhang He to serve as centurions in other troops, but both of them refused, and would rather be Jiang Sheng's servants than serve in the official army, which made Zou Jing very surprised, but Zou Jing thought that without the support of Youzhou, they would not be able to make any waves, so he was relieved.

On this day, Jiang Sheng led the team to go out when he suddenly heard the drums of the Chinese army camp. Jiang Sheng led the team into Zou Jing's sequence, waiting for the assassination of Guo Xun's instructions.

Guo Xun was dressed in military uniform, standing on the parade platform, tens of thousands of troops gathered around the parade platform, where did he look like a regular army?

Jiang Sheng couldn't hear what Guo Xun was saying at all, and he didn't know what Guo Xun meant until he passed the relay. Qingzhou Yellow Turban Xu He and Sima Ju killed officials and rebelled, and responded to the Jizhou Yellow Turban Uprising, Qingzhou Assassin Gong Jing organized the official army to suppress but suffered a fiasco, and the entire Qingzhou Yellow Turban was full of momentum, Gong Jing was difficult to resist, so he had to send someone to Guo Xun for help.

In the nearly two months since the beginning of the Yellow Turban Uprising, only Youzhou has been victorious, and for a time it has become the hope of the world's officials and soldiers. Guo Xun was particularly fond of this feeling of superiority, and a few words of flattery in Gong Jing's letter made Guo Xun fluttering, so he beat the drum and gathered the generals and sent Zou Jing to lead the army to support Qingzhou.

Employing people in troubled times is the chief officer's final say. Under the instruction of Guo Xun, Liu Bei replaced the commander of the thousand, but he was the commander of the righteous army, and Jiang Sheng was still the temporary centurion, unlike Liu Bei, Jiang Sheng and the fifty people under his command were temporarily incorporated into the Youzhou army.

Jiang Sheng asked Zhang He to lead the fifty cavalry battalions of the temporary camp to go south with the army, and everything that could be taken away must be taken away, Zhang He knew that Jiang Sheng was preparing to break away from the Youzhou army.

The military situation was urgent, and after Zou Jing made a brief mobilization, he led the troops to Qingzhou. This ancient communication is very underdeveloped, when Zou Jing's army set out, Qingzhou Yellow Turban Xu He, Sima Ju Department from Jinan, Le'an to the surrounding attack, has broken through 21 counties, Gong Jing led the official army and retreat, retreat to Linzi.

After more than ten days of marching, the cavalry vanguard of Zou Jing's department has reached less than 100 miles northwest of Linzi (Qingzhou Zhisuo), acting on Liu Bei's orders, "centurion" Jiang Sheng led a cavalry team of 50 people and 50 infantry in the vanguard army, Zhang He's 50 cavalry is also mixed in, Liu Bei is still wondering, Jiang Sheng has always been a 50 foot soldier, why is there a cavalry team of 100 people this time? However, since Zou Jing arranged it, it may also be deployed by Zou Jing.

After the marching tent was set up, Jiang Sheng came to Liu Bei's tent.

"Master Qianfu, I am waiting for the first time in Qingzhou, the situation is unknown, and it is not appropriate to act rashly." Jiang Sheng admonished.

"Zicheng, in the battle of Daxing Mountain, you are so brave and brave, why are you only willing at this time?" Liu Bei disagreed.

"This time and that time! Our army went south from Jixian County, all the way to the end, it was the end of the strong crossbow, and the Qingzhou Yellow Turban was fierce and brave, and it was waiting for work, our army attacked rashly, and the chance of victory was not great. Why don't you send spies to investigate first, and then plan to attack and defend after a day's rest. ”

"The Yellow Turban Thief is a rabble, and he will collapse at the touch of a button. What is my Youzhou Iron Rider afraid of? Zicheng must not be presumptuous, just attack, don't say it again! ”

"But—"

"Don't do it, hurry up and bury the pot to make food, and find an opportunity to start a war!" Liu Bei was a little impatient.

Guan Yu said: "Brother Zicheng, our army came to help, just to take him by surprise, take advantage of the current high morale, and kill him by surprise." ”

"Brother Yun, grandson has clouds: knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, one hundred ......"

"Damn, if you have the guts, you will fight, and if you don't have the guts, you can leave! Mother-in-law's, what kind of system? Zhang Fei scolded directly, the battle of Daxing Mountain was obstructed by Jiang Sheng, he didn't kill Deng Mao, he has been angry, and when he heard Jiang Sheng's words, he couldn't help but vent.

"Hey! Who are you scolding?! Zhang He and Deng Mao shouted in unison.

"It's a soft egg that scolds!" Zhang Fei shouted.

"Qiang-Qiang" Zhang He and Deng Mao pulled out the Pu knife and were about to make a move with Zhang Fei, Guan Yu hurriedly stopped, "Brothers, don't be rude, don't mess up when you are facing the enemy!" Third brother, Hugh is talking nonsense! ”

"Junyi, Deng Mao, don't be rude!" Jiang Sheng said.

"Hmph-" Zhang He and Deng Mao put the knife back into the sheath and glared at Zhang Fei angrily.

The two sides were at a stalemate for a while, and then Zhang Fei turned around and went to find Liu Bei.

Guan Yu bowed his hand and said, "Fellow virtuous brothers, listen to Yun Chang's words." My third brother has a fiery temper, but in fact, he is not bad, but he is not forgiving. Please forgive me! ”

"They are all straight men, and Senior Brother Yun doesn't have to care." Jiang Sheng saw that Guan Yu recognized his softness, so he accepted it when he saw it.

After Guan Yu said goodbye, Zhang He shouted: "This kind of humiliation can't be endured!" ”

Jiang Sheng said with a smile: "The righteousness is a little higher, and the martial artist is straightforward, you should understand!" ”

Zhang He said: "Life and death don't want to be with this broken household!" ”

Jiang Sheng said: "Don't be angry! Wait and see what the battle will be! ”

Deng Mao said: "The lord expected the outcome of this battle? ”

Jiang Sheng smiled but didn't answer, and entered the tent with his hands behind his back, Zhang He and Deng Mao stayed where they were, watching Jiang Sheng enter the tent.

"What do you mean, my lord?" Zhang and Deng said in unison, Zhang He no longer called Jiang Sheng as the eldest brother at this time, but called the lord like Deng Mao.

In ancient times, the lord had three meanings:

1. The title of the subordinate to the monarch.

2. The honorific title of a servant to his master.

3. The honorific title of the guest to the host.

At this time, the second meaning of the three people calling the lord is the second meaning.

Liu Bei originally brought 2,000 volunteers, but after the Battle of Daxingshan, most of them returned to their hometowns, and only five or six hundred people remained in the army. Although Liu Bei was the commander of the Righteous Army, out of the trust of Guo Xun and Zou Jing, the more than 1,000 cavalry in the Qingzhou reinforcements were temporarily commanded by Liu Bei.

It was getting late, only Jiang Sheng's 150 people were unarmored and resting, and the rest of the troops were in a state of combat readiness, waiting for the battle to start.

Although Liu Bei rejected Jiang Sheng's proposal, he still sent several spies to find out the truth. By midnight (between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m.), the spies all returned to the camp and reported that no trace of the Yellow Turbans had been found.

Liu Bei said with a smile: "The Youzhou army is prestigious, and the Qingzhou Yellow Turban fled in the wind, I really don't know how Gong Jing, the old boy, fought, to fight, more than 100,000 officers and soldiers have been defeated again and again!" ”

Zhang Fei smiled: "It must be Gong Jing's incompetence." In my opinion, it is better for the eldest brother to sit in this assassin's seat. ”

Liu Bei's face turned pale, and he said, "Third brother, don't talk nonsense!" How can Xuande be the assassin? It's just doing the duty of the people of the Han Dynasty. ”

Zhang Fei confessed again and again and said no more.

Guan Yu said: "Big brother, if you don't see the yellow turban here, you must be to encircle Gong Tingshi, our army only needs to find out where the Qingzhou officials and troops are, and attack inside and outside, and they will win a complete victory." ”

"What the second brother said is extremely true, order all departments, rest for the night, and tomorrow, the whole army will march in the direction of Linzi."
