Liao Hua and the others finished collecting Zhang Jiao's body in a heavy mood, Zhang Jiao left without leaving a word of explanation, and now there was no leader in the huge Guangzong City for a while.

No matter how to bury the body of the great sage and good teacher first, under the arrangement of Liao Hua, Pei Yuanshao, and Zhou Cang, everyone buried Zhang Jiao's tomb in the vicinity of Guangzong City, and then found a corpse casually, and buried the body outside Guangzong City with great fanfare, declaring that this is the tomb of Zhang Jiao, the great sage and good teacher of Taiping Dao. After all this, Liao Hua and the others began to gather in the hall to discuss the follow-up matters, at this moment Pei Yuanshao, Zhou Cang, and other Yellow Turban generals in the hall were there, Liao Hua looked at these people and said his opinion to everyone, "Guangzong City is easy to attack and difficult to defend, now that the great sage and good teacher are dead, the general trend of Huangtian has gone, and our occupation of Guangzong has lost its meaning."

Zhou Cang frowned and asked, "Then what should we do?" "Recently, after these things, Zhou Cang has a certain recognition of Liao Hua's strategy, and Pei Yuanshao also looked at Liao Hua with burning eyes, he is the same as Zhou Cang, after Zhang Jiao's death, how will Taiping Dao go on in the future.

Liao Hua opened his mouth and said, "I have three strategies, you might as well listen to it, the best strategy is to break it into parts, disperse to Youji and other places, and wait for the opportunity to move!" The middle strategy is to disband the Yellow Turban Army, go incognito or retreat to the Taiping Dao General Altar of Lost Mountain! The next strategy is to continue to defend Guangzong City and wait to be exterminated by the imperial court! ”

After Liao Hua finished speaking, the hall fell into silence, and one person took the lead in breaking the silence, this person is called Bai Rao, who is a rare woman in Taiping Dao, this Bai Rao said in a disdainful tone, "Liao Hua, now our Yellow Turban Army has a great advantage in the thirteen states of the world, why don't we continue to use Guangzong City as a springboard to attack Jizhou Zhisuo Yecheng?" ”

Liao Hua looked at Bai Rao and finally smiled inexplicably, this Bai Rao is about thirty years old and has big breasts, but obviously this Bai Rao is the type with big breasts and no brains, Liao Hua smiled and said, "How many states do we occupy among the thirteen states in the world?" And we're cut off from information with other states, do you know what's going on with the other Yellow Turbans now? ”

"Hmph" Bai Rao snorted coldly, don't turn her face, then another person spoke, this person's name is Lei Yun, he glanced at Bai Rao, and then said to Liao Hua, "Although the great sage and good teacher are dead, but the Digong General Zhang Bao is still in Quyang, do we want to abandon the Rengong general?" ”

Liao Hua shook his head helplessly, but Zhang Bao, the general of the people's father, was in Quyang at the time, Liao Hua was said by Lei Yun, and immediately stood up and said, "I will go to Quyang to inform the general of the earth, I have already told you the strategy, now I will go or leave you to watch and do it yourself!" ”

After Liao Hua finished speaking, he no longer hesitated, got up and left Guangzong City alone, he had to inform Zhang Bao to give up Quyang immediately, otherwise the end would be miserable.

On the Jiade Hall of Luoyang City, the imperial capital, Liu Hong casually threw the battle report in his hand to the ground, and Liu Hong said angrily, "Dong Zhuo is so bad, and he lost 30,000 soldiers of my Han Empire in a war, it is really in vain!" Ordered Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun to go north immediately and exterminate Zhang Jiao! ”

The edict soon arrived in Huangfu Song's military camp, Huangfu Song had crossed the Yellow River at the moment and came to the border of Jizhou, after receiving the edict, he was first surprised how Lu Zhi was replaced, and then shocked that Zhang Jiao had such a powerful spell, Huangfu Song received the holy decree and opened the marching map, he looked at the map and frowned and pondered, if you want to go to Guangzong City, Quyang is the only way, and Quyang City is stationed in the Digong General Zhang Bao.

This Quyang has a long history, and there are written records of the name of "Quyang" during the Warring States Period. According to the records of Quyang County, in the eleventh year of King Zhou Xun, a soil city was built, which was called "Quyang City". Quyang is named after the city. The meaning of the name of Quyang is to say: the city is in the sun of the mountain, it is called Quyang, and the mountain here refers to Beiyue Heng Mountain, commonly known as Damao Mountain, ancient Beiyue, also known as Changshan, Hengyue.

The terrain near Quyang City is high in the northwest and low in the southeast, and the landform is low mountains, hills and plains from the northwest to the southeast, and it is commonly said that "six mountains, one water and three fields"; The western part of the Youji Plain, the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain. There are three main types of landforms: one is a deep river valley; the second is the towering mountains; The third is the steep slope between the mountain and the valley source. According to the scale and level, it can be divided into two categories: one is located in the main ridge of Taihang Mountain, with high mountains and deep valleys, steep slopes, rapid waterfalls, and mountain level remnants at the top of the mountain; The second type is located in the hilly land at the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain, and the slope is relatively steep.

There is a river named Qushui River in the north of Quyang City, the river is turbulent, and Quyang is a natural moat that leads Qushui to besiege the city.

Quyang City is also known as the hometown of carving, perhaps the people here are oppressed by the imperial court and have no way to live, the people here have a very friendly attitude towards the Yellow Turban Army, and these Yellow Turban Army under the management of Zhang Bao, the people of Quyang do not offend, which also leads to the fact that in Quyang City, almost every family has participated in the Yellow Turban Army.

On this day, Zhang Bao sat in a tavern in Quyang City in Confucian clothes, although Zhang Bao became a zombie body, he kept his memory, and he was a little resistant to drinking blood from his heart.

Zhang Bao is different from Zhang Liang, he has a more jumping thinking, and he yearns for Confucian thought.

"General, I've been waiting for a long time, the wine is here!"

Xiao Er put a pot of wine in front of Zhang Bao, Zhang Bao smiled at Xiao Er, and then opened the wine jug, the wine was fragrant in an instant, Zhang Bao smelled it intoxicated, it was really a good wine, this Quyang in addition to the carving township also has a name called the hometown of jujube wine, and the pot of wine in front of him is Quyang's jujube wine, the brewing of this jujube wine is very complicated, in addition to jujube, only grain bran or straw can be added to the raw materials, if you add dried sweet potatoes or sorghum, etc., the taste of the wine will change. There are several key links in the whole process of brewing, one is the ratio of dates to grain bran. The second is the degree of fermentation, which is not in place or too much. Usually experienced winemakers measure the temperature through the straw inserted into the fermentation pit, which is completely measured by the feeling and experience of the hand, this jujube wine is very hard but not rushing in the northern language, and a folk song in Quyang City sings about this jujube wine:

Jujube wine, jujube wine,

One cup or two cups is not on the head,

Jujube wine, jujube wine

Three cups and four cups to support the wall,

Jujube wine, jujube wine

Five cups and six cups of the wall go, I don't go

Zhang Bao poured himself a small glass of wine, he picked up the wine glass and sniffed, he raised his head and drank the cup of jujube wine, but unfortunately, because of the zombie body, he could not understand the taste of this jujube wine, Zhang Bao clicked his mouth, his eyes were a little dazed, Zhang Bao said to himself, "It's a pity!" ”

At this time, a sound of footsteps sounded, a man in soft armor walked quickly to the restaurant, the man had a beard, a pair of triangular eyes in the restaurant around the circle, and soon found Zhang Bao sitting in the corner, the man walked quickly to Zhang Bao's table, because of the strenuous exercise, the man sweated, at this moment he was a little panicked and said, "General, the big thing is not good!" The Imperial Court's"

Zhang Bao raised his eyes and glanced at the man, this man is called Yan Zheng, he is his right-hand man, Zhang Bao poured a glass of jujube wine, and then said in a deep voice, "What a panic, come and drink a glass of jujube wine"

Yan Zheng said in his heart, how can he still have the heart to drink, but looking at Zhang Bao's scarlet eyes, Yan Zheng swallowed all his complaints back into his stomach, Yan Zheng took the jujube wine handed over by Zhang Bao and drank the wine in one sip, Zhang Bao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, let's talk, what's going on?" ”

Yan Zheng looked left and right, and finally spoke: "The troops under the command of Emperor Fu Song of the Imperial Court have arrived thirty miles south of Quyang City!" ”

"Huh?" Zhang Bao was a little surprised, he was surprised that Huangfu Song defeated Bo Cai and the others so quickly, "It is worthy of being the three heroes of the empire, and he defeated Bo Cai so quickly!" ”

Yan Zheng had the intention to sigh with Zhang Bao here, and at this moment he asked anxiously, "What should we do?" ”

Zhang Bao took a sip of jujube wine, and the red glow in his eyes grew, "What can I do, pass on my general order, open the city to meet the enemy, I will be able to meet the three heroes of the empire for a while"

The gate of Quyang City was wide open, Zhang Bao ordered Yan Zheng to stay in Quyang City, and then he personally took a team of men and horses out of Quyang City, the people and horses had just traveled ten miles, and suddenly there was smoke and dust in front, and the Han Dynasty army slowly appeared in front of Zhang Bao under the leadership of Huangfu Song, Zhang Bao looked at this group of people with interest, raised his hand and stopped the troops, Zhang Bao came to the front of the formation alone, and looked at the man wearing gold armor under the Chinese character Daxu on the opposite side, Zhang Bao said in his heart that this person must be Huangfu Song, Zhang Bao rode back to the formation, and waited for the other party to settle down in formation. Zhang Bao said loudly: "The opposite is General Huangfu Song? ”

Huangfu Song replied: "It's the general!" ”

Zhang Bao smiled and said, "General Huangfu, dare to fight with me?" ”

Huangfu Song smiled and said, "Why not! ”

There has long been a method of fighting generals, and the two formations are standing, each with its own general fighting, which is called a fighting general is also called a challenge, but the fighting general rarely occurs when the two armies are fighting for many reasons.

At this moment, after listening to Huang Fu Song's answer, Zhang Bao couldn't help but be a little funny, he couldn't imagine that this Huang Fu Song still had a habit of fighting generals, Zhang Bao turned around and said to his subordinates, "But who can kill a few Han generals for me?" ”

Zhang Bao's voice fell, and a Yellow Turban Army general rode out on a horse, "A certain wish!" ”

Zhang Bao looked at this man and smiled, this man's name is Gao Sheng, he uses a throat gun, and he is his number one fierce general.

Zhang Bao nodded at him, Gao Sheng rode out on a horse, and behind Huangfu Song, a Han general came to the front of the battle with a big knife, and the two of them only took a look at each other, this Gao Sheng deserved to be Zhang Bao's number one fierce general, the tip of the throat gun flashed, and the head of the gun penetrated the neck of the Han general, killing in one move!

The Yellow Turban Army saw that their generals beat the other party in seconds with one move, and couldn't help cheering, Huangfu Song frowned and waved his hand, and another Han general came out behind him, but this Han general was also the same as the previous Han general, all of them were killed by Gao Sheng in seconds with one shot, Gao Sheng became more and more brave at the moment, and the horse roamed back and forth in front of the formation and shouted, "The Han army is every one of them, it is full of small fish and shrimp, and it is very boring!" ”

Huang Fu Song is also hard to say at the moment, he does not have any outstanding generals, he sent out is just a cavalry with good force in the army, at this moment a captain behind him is eager to try, Huang Fu Song glared at him, this captain went away, at this time a herald came to Huang Fu Song's ear in Huang Fu Song's ear whispered a few words, Huang Fu Song's eyes lit up, and soon three good people rode horses to Huang Fu Song's body, Huang Fu Song carefully looked at these people and said, "You are Lu Zhi's disciple Liu Xuande?" ”

The person who came was Liu Bei, Liu Bei bowed down to Huangfu Song and made a disciple salute, Liu Bei and the three of them came to Huangfu Song since they left Guangzong, and they never thought to meet here, at this moment Liu Bei looked at a Yellow Turban Army in front of the formation who was showing off his might, Liu Bei gave Zhang Fei a look, Zhang Fei knew and yelled "Yan Zhang Yide is here, and the thief will be rampant"

Zhang Fei rode the horse and killed with a spear, Gao Sheng heard this cry like a lion's roar, his heart trembled, Zhang Fei's roar was mixed with internal force, Gao Sheng was in a trance by this roar, his expression was a little trance, and just when he was in a trance, Zhang Feima to, Zhang Fei raised his spear and stabbed at Gao Sheng, Gao Sheng raised the gun in a trance to block, the body of the throat gun was just blocked at the mouth of the snake spear, the huge force almost poked Gao Sheng out, Gao Sheng's forehead was shaking, and he wanted to block the snake spear hard, and suddenly the throat gun clicked, The throat gun broke in two under Gao Sheng's stunned gaze, and the snake spear pierced Gao Sheng's body.

All this happened between the lightning and flint, Zhang Fei picked up Gao Sheng's corpse with a snake spear at the moment, and threw it hard to throw this Gao Sheng into the Yellow Turban Army's main formation, Zhang Bao jumped up and caught Gao Sheng's corpse, Zhang Bao's scarlet eyes stared at Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei was shocked, this Zhang Bao's eyes were the same as Zhang Liang of the Dune Palace, Zhang Fei secretly swallowed his saliva, why is it now the era of zombies everywhere!

Zhang Bao received Gao Sheng's corpse, Huangfu Song swallowed the cloud gun with a wave, the Han army covered the past, and soon the two armies stood together, the two armies killed from early morning to noon, Zhang Bao looked at the corporal under his command and suffered countless casualties, and he couldn't bear it, and finally waved his hand and the army withdrew to Quyang City.

In Quyang City, Zhang Bao returned to his residence, today he was entangled by three people and his subordinates were defeated by the Han army, Zhang Bao was a little unconvinced, he didn't expect that there was such a person in the Han army, at this time Yan Zheng came in, Yan Zheng bowed to Zhang Bao and said, "General, Guangzong City is here!" ”

Zhang Bao came back to his senses, quickly got up and said, "Guangzong City? Please! ”

Guangzong City is where the eldest brother is, and he was cut off by Lu Zhi some time ago, and now that Guangzong City is here, could it be that the eldest brother has defeated Lu Zhi.

Soon Yan Zheng walked in with a young man, this man was none other than Liao Hua who came from Guangzong City all the way to the stars and the moon, Liao Hua fell to the ground after seeing Zhang Bao, just when Zhang Bao didn't know why, Liao Hua said a news that made him unbelievable, the eldest brother Zhang Jiao died!

Zhang Bao was speechless for a long time, he waved away Yan Zheng and Liao Hua, the eldest brother and the third brother were all dead, and that person also came, it seems that the general trend of Huangtian has gone, and Zhang Bao did it on the ground in frustration.

At this time, a Yellow Turban Army ran over in a panic, and the Yellow Turban Army said in a trembling voice, "General Qiyu, there is another Han army in the south of the city, it is Zhu Jun's men."

Oh, Zhang Bao sneered and thought, he didn't expect Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun to come, he didn't worry about his life or death, but the tens of thousands of people and the Yellow Turban Army in this city were innocent, Zhang Bao sighed, he called Yan Zheng and Liao Hua and others, Zhang Bao said his opinion, Yan Zheng said with an ugly face, "General, you are crazy, it's a big deal, we fight with them"

Zhang Bao smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "There is no surplus food in the city, if the enemy besieges the city, we won't be able to hold out for long, and in the end it will be just another purgatory."

Zhang Bao thought of Huang County in Qingzhou, and remembered all kinds of things in the past, those times were just for Huang Tian, but now that the eldest brother and third brother are dead, what does the void Huang Tian have to do with himself?

Zhang Bao got up, the hall was surging, this was the first time Zhang Bao showed the body of a zombie in front of everyone, looking at everyone's stunned eyes, Zhang Bao said slowly, "What the court wants is just my head, with my death alone, it would be better to change the city for nothing."

Zhang Bao raised his hand after speaking, his sharp fingernails crossed his neck, and the head with blue fangs rose to the sky with dark blood, and Zhang Bao, the general of the earth, ended his life in this way, and everyone in the hall was stunned by this scene!

Things have happened, Yan Zheng has tears in his eyes, and now this can only be carried out according to Zhang Bao's method.

The gate of Quyang was wide open Yan Zheng took Zhang Bao's head to surrender, but Liao Hua quietly retreated, he didn't expect things to be found to such a point, he originally wanted to save Zhang Bao, but he didn't expect Zhang Bao to end his life by himself, Liao Hua shook his head and glanced at Quyang City, this Zhang Bao was too naïve.

The Han army took Quyang City without abandoning a single soldier, but things did not seem to have developed in the direction that Zhang Jiao expected.

In the big tent of the Han army camp, Zhu Jun was covered in dust, he was followed by Cao Cao and Sun Jian and others, at this moment he looked at Yan Zheng who was kneeling on the ground, his eyes kept changing, Huangfu Song accepted Yan Zheng's invitation to surrender, Huangfu Song waved away Yan Zheng, and after taking Yan Zheng away, Zhu Jun frowned and said puzzledly, "Why do you want to accept their surrender?" ”

Huangfu Song sighed and said, "Although they are thieves, but they were also Han people in the past, what if they don't accept surrender, can they still kill them all" Huangfu Song seemed to remember something, he looked at Zhu Jun with an incredulous gaze and said, "Do you want to?!" ”

Zhu Jun showed a cruel smile on his face, and he said, "Yes, at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the people did not have a stable monarch, so they persuaded them to surrender with a reward. Now that the sea is unified, only the Yellow Turbans rebelled, and accepting them could not turn people to good, and crusading against them was enough to punish evil. Now, if we accept their surrender, then we will nurture their idea of rebellion, and give them the idea of entering the war if they are advantageous, and begging for surrender if they are unfavorable.

After Huangfu Song listened to Zhu Jun's words, he looked at Zhu Jun indifferently, he didn't know how Zhu Jun could become so cold-blooded, the two argued late in the tent, no one knew what the result was, but on the second day, Zhu Jun led the army to quietly kill all the tens of thousands of elite Yellow Turban troops brought by Yan Zheng!

An army on the banks of the Qushui River, nay, it wasn't an army, it was a haphazard gathering of about fifty thousand men, women, and children, with clubs and shovels in their hands, and only a handful of able-bodied men with swords and guns. The only thing they have in common is a yellow scarf on their foreheads.

These Yellow Turban Army are the only remaining Yellow Turban Army in Quyang City, they face the murderous sword mountain and halberd sea, the Yellow Turban Army with yellow muscles and thin skin and unclothed body not only did not flinch at all, but everyone also had a trace of pride on their faces.

A number of heralds of the Han army were shouting: "General Huangfu Jun ordered, the thief Zhang Bao has been executed, and those who surrender will not die!" No one answered, a deep sigh came from the Han army, Huangfu Song slowly closed his eyes, last night after arguing, and finally the two reached an agreement, Zhu Jun killed the people who could fight, and the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled can be restored to the Han people, but it backfired, I don't know where the news leaked out, things went in the direction that Huangfu Song was most unwilling to go, the old, weak, sick and disabled in the city took advantage of the night to clamor to kill the Han army stationed in the city, and then went all the way north to the bank of Qushui.

The sound of drums and horns woke up the distracted Huangfu Song, and tens of thousands of elite Han troops pressed towards 50,000 remnants.

It was a one-sided massacre, and when tens of thousands of men were finally forced back to the north bank of Qushui, the Han army slowed down its offensive. This time, before the voice of surrender came out, an old and high-pitched singing voice suddenly sounded in the remnants of the yellow turban: "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand!" The year is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious——! "The rest of the Yellow Turbans responded despite hunger, fatigue and pain. So facing the morning light, accompanied by the shout of "the sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand", in the stunned eyes of countless Han soldiers, the surviving Yellow Turban soldiers, no, the people who are fighting for freedom are throwing themselves into the Qushui in front of them without hesitation, the Qushui is surging torrent, rushing to the east, the Qushui is dying, the moon is silent, it seems to be singing in a low voice, the sky is full of raging fire, it is colder than frost, the bank of the Qushui, is the last elegy of the Yellow Turban!.

Huangfu Song couldn't bear to look at it, he rode his horse and left here, two lines of tears in his eyes hung on his face, soldiers, the country's heavy weapons, and generals, often involuntarily.

And on the bank of this curved water, three horses and three people watched all this from a distance, these three people were Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and Liu Bei who met for the first time, and the three of them also stopped to watch, looking at the surging winding water, the fire reflected on the faces of the three people, but they couldn't reflect their respective thoughts.

The troubled times are difficult to be safe, and no one knows how far-reaching the impact of the three insignificant people who are now stopping on the banks of the Qushui River will have a profound impact on the Han Empire in the future, perhaps as Zhang Jiao said, the troubled times have just begun!
