Gao Shun was very happy, and did not make much effort, but he obtained Zhang Bao's head, obtained nearly 100,000 synthetic places, and collected a lot of wealth. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At noon, Li Qiang asked Gao Shun in puzzlement: "Lord, why did you leave so many people behind and no longer select some people to join the army?" ”

Gao Shun explained: "Due to internal strife, these people have suffered heavy casualties, leaving only half of the population, and even fewer young and strong. ”

Being able to subdue Zhou Cang has already made Gao Shun very satisfied; What was left was only a small group of people originally led by Zhou Cang, who continued to be led by Zhou Cang; Most people choose to farm steadily.

Gao Shun admires Zhou Cang's attributes, with a force value of 87, intelligence 65, and politics of 53, and believes that his force value will have a lot of room to rise.

Zhou Cang was appointed as the Sima of the infantry army, under the jurisdiction of 3 songs and 12 tuns.

Li Qiang asked again: "Lord, if you don't take advantage of the situation to surround Zuo Zhangba's camp today, it is estimated that he will quietly withdraw to Julu City tonight." ”

Gao Shun said: "I will monitor their movements at any time, if they dare to evacuate, just send cavalry to attack, in the field, no matter how many of them are not the opponent of cavalry." ”

"My lord, one cannot underestimate the strength of the "Yellow Turban Warriors", who are armed with spears, huge shields, and bows and arrows, and are the nemesis of the cavalry; If we let them return to Julu City safely, it will be very detrimental to our next battle. ”

Gao Shun said with a smile: "Hehe, then rely on the mobility of the cavalry, drag them down, and attack them from all sides, wait for their formation to be chaotic, and then kill them for hand-to-hand combat; Three thousand "Yellow Turban Lux" can't protect so many people. ”

"The infantry is no longer in battle?"

Gao Shun said: "You can transfer Cheng Huan to participate, the rest of the infantry are all incorporated Yellow Turban Army, the time is too short, the military spirit is still unstable, and I will not participate in the war for the time being; One will send Zhang Meng and Zhou Cang to persuade them to surrender once, even if they are unsuccessful, they can break their will to fight. ”

"Haha, the lord's method is good, I'll go with them later, right?"

Gao Shun said: "Okay, you and the two of them go to persuade them to surrender, and let Yan Liang lead the headquarters to guard; ordered Zhang Fei to set off immediately, bypassing Zuo Zhangba's camp, to occupy Yang's County, and cut off Zuo Zhangba's retreat route; Wen Chou went to occupy Ren County and formed a coercive trend against Julu City; Explain to them that there is no need to stick to the city, but to strike at the enemy in maneuver, otherwise it will be very dangerous for such a few people to be surrounded. ”

"Yes, my lord." Li Qiang immediately went to arrange the tasks of Zhang Fei and Wen Chou.

Gao Shun was also very remorseful in his heart, he didn't expect that there would be infighting in Xiaquyang, otherwise he would have cut off the logistics supply of Zuo Zhangba earlier, and now it would have been easily solved.

During this time, Gao Shun has been thinking, if there is no Zhang Niujiao and Chu Yan, will the Montenegrin Army still appear? If the Yellow Turban Army is wiped out at one time, the emperor will regret it if he wants to unload the mill and kill the donkey; Even if the emperor didn't deal with him and asked him to disband some of the soldiers, this was something Gao Shun couldn't tolerate; And there are so many nobles who hate him, and they must think of a way to deal with it early.

Now his main goal is only to eliminate the three Zhang Jiao brothers, everything else is a trivial matter, and everyone else is a small person.

Zuo Zhangba is one of the thirty-six commanders, has great appeal, and has strong martial arts, so he is the most ideal candidate to lead the remnants of the Yellow Turban to establish the Black Mountain Army.

If you pay them off in the future, with the help of the system map, it will be very convenient, and you will never let them get out of control.

What happened in Xiaquyang City, Zuo Zhangba soon learned about it, and immediately sent someone to inform Zhang Jiao and ask for instructions. Now he regrets why he didn't retreat earlier, so that he couldn't advance or retreat, and it was very uncomfortable; When the Youzhou army finishes dealing with the matter of Xia Quyang, they will definitely fight a decisive battle with him, but he feels that he has more than enough self-preservation and insufficient attack, if he is surrounded, there will be such a thing as Zhang Bao, the officers and troops can afford it, and they can't afford it; If he retreats now, he will be pursued by the Youzhou cavalry, and in the field, he has no certainty of victory.

In the evening, Li Qiang and others returned to the camp, and the persuasion to surrender did not play any role, and Zuo Zhangba was one of the thirty-six commanders, loyal to Zhang Jiao, and very stubborn.

Gao said his thoughts by the way, hoping to let Zuo Zhangba go to Taihang Mountain and raise thieves to protect themselves; Li Qiang felt that Gao Shun's words were very reasonable, no one could guess the emperor's thoughts, and there were still many scholars eyeing him, so he had to guard against it.

Li Qiang said: "Lord, let them go like this, a little unwilling." ”

In order to comfort Li Qiang, Gao Shun said with a smile: "Hehe, it's okay to let them go, but you can't let them escape easily, when the time comes, you and Yan Liang and Guan Yu, each with 7 cavalry, will pursue them from behind, and chase them until they reach Taihang Mountain, otherwise the scholars will find us trouble, and we have to do enough to do a show." At the same time, it also lets the Yellow Turban Army know that our cavalry is powerful, and it is best not to trouble us in the future. ”

"Yes, my lord." There was a battle, Li Qiang was very happy, and immediately went to inform Yan Liang and Guan Yu.

Gao Shun found a chief official, explained it in detail, and then released a junior cavalry as his escort and went to the camp of Zuo Zhangba.

For the messenger of the Youzhou Army, the Yellow Turban Army was not embarrassed, and immediately took the chief to the big tent of Zuo Zhangba.

The chief had a separate meeting with Zuo Zhangpachi, and gave a detailed explanation, and agreed on a time to run away.

After sending off the messenger, he immediately summoned his henchmen to discuss the matter.

However, opinions are very unanimous, and some people think that it is a trap set by the Youzhou military; Some people think that betraying the great sages and good teachers is unjust; Some people are worried that the family is still in the pottery; It was suggested that a detour to Changshan Province should be made to Gwangjong.

Zuo Zhangbadao: "Your opinions are correct, but we have fallen into a dead land, there is no need for the Youzhou army to frame us, they are also for self-protection, otherwise they will only besiege us for half a month, and we will encounter the fate of the "Digong General"; In any case, it's best to get out of here first. ”

"Even if we retreat westward, the Youzhou army will pursue us, how many people can escape?"

Zuo Zhangba explained: "They also have difficulties, otherwise let us go, and the court will not spare them; It's nice to have one night for us to run; As long as we keep the elite, we will have a chance to make a comeback, otherwise we will have no chance to starve to death. ”

Someone suggested: "Qu Shuai, in this case, it is better for us to only take the elite, and leave most of the people in the barracks to surrender to them directly, otherwise the speed will be very slow, and we will not be able to escape far in one night, and we will soon be caught up by their cavalry; And I don't recommend going straight to the west, I suggest going west first, and then south, although the distance is a little farther, but the Youzhou army can't find our whereabouts, we are safe. ”

Zuo Zhangba felt that this suggestion was good, and he couldn't fully believe in the Youzhou army, so he immediately arranged it, asked his cronies to prepare, and set off as soon as it was dark, and the goal was set in Zhao State.

That night, Zuo took less than 5,000 men with him, and the rest were left in the camp; Gao Shun saw it very clearly from the map, he thought about it for a long time, and finally gave up his intention to pursue.

On the morning of the next day, Li Qiang led the cavalry to surround the Yellow Turban Army camp; Now that Qu Shuai has fled, and the Digong general Zhang Bao has been beheaded, it has dealt a great blow to these people; Coupled with the persuasion of Zhang Meng and Zhou Cang, as well as the promise of the Youzhou army, in the end, all the remaining 45,000 people surrendered.

After selecting the die-hards, 15,000 were placed in the southern plains of Xiaquyang County, and the rest were placed in Yangshi County.

Appointing the county magistrate and the county lieutenant and others, leaving some of the baggage, Gao Shun immediately led the army to Julu City.
