On the battlefield of the Western Front, Zhu Jun's army swept through Runan County, and after breaking the enemy, he continued to advance westward and entered the boundary of Nanyang County in the north of Jingzhou. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

When Zhu Jun arrived in Nanyang County, Qin Jie, the new Taishou of Nanyang County, led the Nanyang official army to fight fiercely with Zhang Mancheng of the Yellow Turban Army in Wancheng.

Zhang Mancheng is Zhang Jiao's descendant disciple and is a hard character. In March, Zhang Mancheng suddenly attacked Wancheng, the administrative office of Nanyang County, and Chu Gong, who was too guarded, lacked sufficient vigilance, and was broken by Zhang Mancheng's troops in one fell swoop, and Chu Gong was also killed in the battle to defend the city. When the war was raging in the north, Zhang Mancheng used Wancheng as a base to plunder and conquer everywhere, and Jingzhou fell into a state of panic and chaos.

After Chu Gong's death, the imperial court worshiped Qin Jie as the Taishou of Nanyang County, and Qin Jie, the Taishou, did not officially take office at all, but recruited troops with the assistance of the Jingzhou Thorn History Department and organized the official army to try to recover Wancheng.

The two armies have been fighting for many days, and although Qin Jie's department has suffered some losses, Zhang Mancheng is not much better, and both sides are defeated.

Zhang Mancheng knew very well in his heart that Wancheng was a place of four battles, and the result of defending was only a dead end, so he ordered Zhao Hong, Han Zhong and other generals to be stationed in the favorable terrain outside the city, and the defenders of Wancheng were horns against each other. Qin Jie's troops suffered greatly when they attacked the city, and they fought for two months without making any progress.

Zhang Mancheng was overwhelmed, so he took the initiative to attack, and Qin Jie's army fought head-on with him, without taking advantage, so he pretended that the grain and grass would not continue, and made a situation of withdrawing at any time.

After two months of siege, under normal circumstances, the besieging party would give up because of supply problems, but nearly half of Qin Jie's officers and troops were locals in Nanyang, and the material supply was strongly supported by the people of Nanyang, which was also a situation that Zhang Mancheng did not expect.

Qin Jie's various departments attracted Zhang Mancheng to bypass Wancheng, and then suddenly counterattacked with lightning speed, Zhang Mancheng was caught off guard, and was "wrapped in dumplings" by Qin Jie's department, Qin Jie took the lead, dancing a long knife to meet Zhang Mancheng, Zhang Mancheng reluctantly responded to the battle, and was not careful, and was beheaded by Qin Jie.

Zhang Mancheng died, the Yellow Turban Army was leaderless, and fell into chaos, Qin Jie took advantage of the situation to cover up, the Yellow Turban Army quickly retreated, Qin Jie led the army to strike while the iron was hot, and killed to a place twenty miles east of Wancheng.

Because Wancheng, Zhao Hong, and Han Zhong did not move, and they still defended in a zigzag shape, Qin Jie suffered a loss, and did not rashly attack the city, but set up camp and looked for opportunities to fight.

When the news of Zhang Mancheng's death reached Wancheng, there was an uproar. However, Zhang Mancheng governed the army well, and the Wancheng Yellow Turban was headed by Zhao Hong and continued to stabilize Wancheng according to Zhang Mancheng's defense strategy.

After Zhu Jun's army arrived, Qin Jie reported in detail the battle situation in the past two months, and then reported it to Xu Xuan, the assassin of Jingzhou.

Xu Xuan was very happy to hear that Zhu Jun led the main force of the official army into Nanyang County, and personally led 5,000 elite soldiers to the north to meet Zhu Jun.

After the three armies combined together, they organized the siege of the city under the command of Zhu Jun, Zhao Hong pursued the strategy of holding out, as long as the official army came to attack, the Yellow Turban units of Wancheng sent troops to defend to the death, the officers and troops retreated, and the Yellow Turban departments returned to their respective battalions and never pursued.

Zhu Jun tried to lure the Wancheng Yellow Turban out of the Pinzi Defense Circle, but all the Yellow Turban departments were not fooled, and Zhu Jun, who had nothing to do, frequently launched attacks under the condition of continuous supplies, but Wancheng was still firmly controlled by Zhao Hong, and the two sides were deadlocked, so they fought to consume.

On the battlefield of the Eastern Front, Huangfu Song received a new edict from Emperor Ling, and the target of the attack was changed to Dongjun. The Yellow Turban in Chen County was weak, so Huangfu Song made Jiang Sheng responsible, and led the main force north to Chenliu County to carry out the clean-up operation.

Jiang Sheng sent scouts to reconnoiter the Yellow Turban Camp in Chen County at night, and found that there were not many troops, so he sent Yu Ban to lead 500 cavalry to carry out a tentative attack.

The Yellow Turbans of Chen County were originally a rabble, and in the face of the sudden attack of five hundred horsemen, they hurriedly responded to the battle, and the arrows shot were sparse. What else is this called an insurrectionary army? Any team can do it.

Yu Ban was just a temptation, but he didn't expect the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban to be so poor, so he simply served it in a pot and killed it when he rushed into the camp. There were originally thousands of Yellow Turbans in Chen County, but after the ban came in, most of the Yellow Turban soldiers were scattered like birds and beasts, and they had already disappeared.

The remaining 1,000 people tried to resist, but they were killed by nearly 200 more than 200 people in the forbidden department, and at this time, Jiang Sheng led the army to kill, and these four or five hundred Yellow Turban troops simply abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

Jiang Sheng glanced at it generally, these hundreds of Yellow Turban troops were all ragged, gray-headed, and not doing well, which also figured out the reason why the Yellow Turbans in Chen County collapsed without a fight, their uprising was meaningless, and it was better to live at home in peace.

Jiang Sheng is already cultivating his own forces, and these Yellow Turban soldiers are good candidates.

Jiang Sheng ordered Deng Mao to prepare food and distribute it to these poor Yellow Turban soldiers, and then led the army into the city to rest.

Huangfu Song didn't expect that the Yellow Turban in Chen County would be in this situation, and when he left, he gave Jiang Sheng twenty days to exterminate the Yellow Turban in Chen County, but Jiang Sheng only took one day to get it, and the rest of the time was just used to train the troops, and take these Yellow Turbans for his own use.

After the Yellow Turban soldiers were full, they were taken by Deng Mao into the open space of the military camp in the south of the city. Zhang He followed Jiang Sheng's meaning and lectured these Yellow Turbans to the troops.

"My lord has an order: The Yellow Turban is in rebellion, and if you go against the sky, you will be destroyed, and your lords will be killed, this is a good example. Look at your life these days, is it better than your life before the rebellion? The head of my family is kind-hearted, and considering that you are also forced to make a living, you have entered the Yellow Turban, and you will not be held accountable. ”

After hearing Zhang He's words, the Yellow Turban soldiers in the open space exchanged their heads and ears, and they couldn't believe that the official army would spare them, you must know that forty or fifty thousand Yellow Turban soldiers died under the official saber during the Battle of Changshe.

Zhang He paused, and then said: "Since you have descended, my lord will not treat you badly." If you wish, you may be brought under the command of my lord, and if you do not will, we will give you dry rations and allow you to return to your hometown, but from now on you will keep to yourself. Do you hear me? ”

Everyone was silent and waited for Zhang He's next words.

Zhang He said: "Okay, if you are willing to follow my lord, stand on the right; If you want to go home, stand on the left. ”

After screening, more than 400 people were willing to follow Jiang Sheng, and the remaining 200 people said they wanted to return to their hometowns. This amount is still acceptable.

Jiang Sheng decided to let Zhang He take care of some affairs, after all, it is impossible for Jiang Sheng to arrange everything in the future, Zhang He is brave and strategic, he is a talent, and he is loyal to Jiang Sheng, so it is time for him to experience and experience.

Zhang He really fulfilled his promise, gave dry food and a little silver, and let the more than 200 people leave. The remaining 400 people joined Jiang Shengjun under Zhang He's organization.

Jiang Sheng ordered Zhang He to take charge of the construction of the training camp and the training of the surrendered troops, and to reform these surrendered troops within half a month. Zhang He was not ambiguous, and opened up a vacant land five miles outside the city for the construction of a temporary camp, with more than 100 cavalry of Jiang Shengjun as grassroots officers, responsible for the subduing and training of the Yellow Turban soldiers.

Five days later, Jiang Sheng, accompanied by Deng Mao, came to the training camp to see how Zhang He was training.
