Chapter Seventy-Four: Time is Like a Song

There are more than 100,000 Yellow Turban troops in Guangzong City, Zhang Jiao's troops set up Julu County, all the way south, and the soldiers pointed directly at Jizhou Zhizhi Yecheng.

This day and night, Zhang Jiao lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep, there was some faint pain in his chest, Zhang Jiao got up and got out of bed, pushed open the door and came to the courtyard, there was a young Yellow Turban Army at the door of Zhang Jiao was guarding, he saw Zhang Jiao come out and was about to follow, Zhang Jiao waved his hand and said in a slightly tired tone, "It's okay, I'll walk casually, you don't have to follow", the young Yellow Turban Army stopped after hearing Zhang Jiao's words, Zhang Jiao walked down the steps with a secret step, he looked up at the night sky, there is no moon and no stars tonight, Zhang Jiao tightened the coat on his body, it was already summer, the weather tonight was so cool, the wind was blowing, the begonia trees in the courtyard were blown by the wind, it seemed that it was about to rain tonight.

Zhang Jiao touched his forehead, the ruthless years carved wrinkles one after another on his face, and his hair, which had already become pale, was blown by the wind and fluttered behind him.

Except for a few people, there are a few people in this world who can run through time. Looking at the begonia trees blown by the wind, Zhang Jiao couldn't help but feel a little emotional, from the time he was thirty years old to now he is fifty, time flies, and he can't imagine that he has reached the year of destiny. After being rescued by that person, in the past 20 years, he has painstakingly studied the Taiping Taoism, covering the thirteen states of the world, from nothing to millions of Taiping Taoist disciples, and he has worked hard to establish a new world, where there is no oppression, no exploitation, everyone has clothes to wear, and everyone has food.

He is fifty years old, although the Taiping Dao technique has achieved a little, it may be that he has used too many forbidden techniques, and now his body is getting worse and worse day by day, before he was hit through the chest by the young man with a fan sealed with a dragon soul in Langya Zhuge Village, although the external injury has long been recovered as before, but the fan actually planted a trace of dragon power in his body, and before the full moon night, this dragon power was running around in his body, and it has not been eliminated for so many years.

Zhang Jiao covered his mouth and coughed, he thought of the Han army outside Guangzong City, he couldn't help but sigh a little, although he was outstanding, but the matter of this battle formation was not very good, and he was against Lu Zhi, one of the three heroes of the Han Empire, Lu Zigan, this Lu Zhi was different from others, and the way of using soldiers was even more unpredictable, he had fought with him twice, and the end was a fiasco, and now he had to retreat to Guangzong City.

These eagle dogs of the Han Empire, Zhang Jiao clenched his fists fiercely, now it depends on whether the third brother can make a difference, and retreating to Guangzong City is not because he has no other way to retreat, but because he knows that the Dune Palace ten miles outside Guangzong City is sealed with a shocking secret, if the third brother can successfully release him, then he will also become a zombie, so that he will no longer be dragged down by this skin.

It was early in the morning, Zhang Jiao was a little tired, he tightened the clothes on his shoulders, suddenly he bent down and coughed violently, the Yellow Turban Army standing at his door hurriedly came to Zhang Jiao's side, knocked him on the back and said, "Good teacher, are you okay!" ”

Zhang Jiao coughed for a long time, straightened his waist, looked at the childish Yellow Turban Army next to him and said, "You are new here, right?" ”

The young Yellow Turban nodded and said, "Well, I only recently came here from the Lost Mountain Altar, and the elders asked me to protect the good teacher."

Zhang Jiao sat on the steps, stretched out his hand and patted the steps next to him, and said to the young Yellow Turban Army, "Sit down, chat with me"

This Yellow Turban Army was a little frightened, he didn't expect Zhang Jiao to take the initiative to let him sit here, in his thoughts, how could a person of Zhang Jiao's status calmly chat with him as a nobody.

Zhang Jiao seemed to see his uneasiness, and asked with a kind smile on his face, "You don't have to be nervous, come and sit down and tell me what your name is?" How old is this year? ”

The Yellow Turban was pulled by Zhang Jiao to sit down, and he said, "My name is Liao Hua, the character is Yuanjian, and I am twenty-five years old this year."

Zhang Jiao said with a smile: "I really can't see that you are twenty-five years old, listening to the accent, you are not from Jizhou!" ”

"Hmm," Liao Hua responded, "I'm from Xiangyang, Jingzhou."

Zhang Jiao was a little surprised: "Jingzhou people? Then why did you get to Jizhou! ”

Liao Hua seemed to be mentioned as sad, his eyes became a little red, Zhang Jiao saw that Liao Hua's expression was different, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Forget it, it doesn't matter if you don't want to say it."

Liao Hua raised his head at this time, stared at Zhang Jiao with his eyes dead, and asked, "Good teacher, will there really be a day when everyone is born equal in this world?" ”

Zhang Jiao thought for a while and said, "Of course there will be a day, as long as your faith is not extinguished, even if I can't see it, there are still you young people, you can't do it, and your next generation, the next generation, just like Yugong moving mountains, the world will eventually return to the world of Datong!" ”

Liao Hua nodded as if he didn't understand, and at this time there was a sound of beating in the city, Zhang Jiao stood up and said, "I'm tired, I'm going back."

Liao Hua hurriedly got up and stepped forward to help Zhang Jiao, Zhang Jiao smiled and pushed his hand away, and walked back to the house slowly by himself, Liao Hua looked at Zhang Jiao's somewhat rickety back, lowered his head, it seems that the great sage and good teacher are really old!

It is said that time does not spare people, but we have spared years. Liao Hua stood outside Zhang Jiao's door, and slept in the house. In the middle of the night, Liao Hua clenched the knife in his hand, and Zhang Jiao's words made him believe that one day there would be no seven-foot soldiers in the world in troubled times, and on the day when there were no corrupt officials, Liao Hua suddenly remembered the roar that shook the world in Daze Township thousands of years ago:

Princes and generals, would you rather have a kind?

After a night of hard fighting, the soldiers of the fourth battalion returned to the Han military camp outside Guangzong. The three brothers of Liu Bei showed their skills in last night's battle, and the attitude of these five captains towards Liu Bei and the three of them also had a subtle change, if it weren't for these three people, these armor soldiers of the Han Empire would have suffered heavy losses last night.

Lu Zhi took five lieutenants and Liu Bei brothers and three straight to the big tent of the Chinese army, in the big tent Lu Zhi issued a military order, although Zhang Liang stationed in the Dune Palace has been eliminated by them, but there are no less than 100,000 Yellow Turban troops in Guangzong City, although the city wall of Guangzong City is not high, but if these people hold on to the city, it is difficult to do it with the existing number of Han troops, and everyone in the tent understands these things.

Lu Zhi touched his beard and said, "For this time, we can only surround the entire Guangzong City and force them out, after all, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the city, and their grain and grass can't last long." ”

Everyone nodded, and Lu Zhi said that since no one objected to the plan, Lu Zhi opened his mouth and said, "Okay, let's go and rest first, after all, I stayed up all night, and from tomorrow, I will dig a trench around Guangzong City!" Even if Zhang Jiao Heavenly God descends to earth, he can't control the situation of the battle, unless he is an immortal who can change food, otherwise Guangzong City will be broken after a month."

Unexpectedly, Lu Zhi, who has always been strict, actually made a joke, and everyone laughed along with him, and then went back to the camp to rest.

There was nothing to say all night, and on the second day, the entire Han army camp began to move, and they began to dig a trench around Guangzong City, and soon the Yellow Turban Army on Guangzong City found an abnormality, and a Yellow Turban Army hurriedly reported the situation to Zhang Jiao, Zhang Jiao came to the city wall wearing a yellow robe, Liao Hua followed closely to his left and right, and soon a big man wearing a sticky hat came to Zhang Jiao with a black iron gun, this big man with iron beard and silver teeth, black face and red lips, Liao Hua recognized him, this person is a famous fierce general in the Yellow Turban Army surnamed Zhou Mingcang, a native of Guanxi, This man is not only powerful, but also has a good iron gun.

At this moment, Zhou Cang came to Zhang Jiao's side, he poked the black iron gun on the ground and said to Zhang Jiao, "Good teacher, these rabbit cubs from the imperial court don't come to attack the city, but they learn to dig moats there, it's really strange."

Zhang Jiao glared at Zhou Cang, although Zhou Cang was strong in martial arts, but he never used his brain to do things, Zhou Cang couldn't help but stick out his tongue after seeing Zhang Jiao glaring at him, he knew that he had said the wrong thing.

Zhang Jiao didn't pay attention to Zhou Cang but looked outside the city, the Han army outside the city was in full swing at this time, and the two cavalry troops were constantly wandering back and forth under the city, vigilant about the movements in the city.

Zhang Jiao looked at all this of the Han army, and there was a faint worry in his heart, but he didn't understand Lu Zhi's intentions, and then Liao Hua, who was behind him, said softly, "Good teacher, are they trying to trap us to death in Guangzong City?" ”

"Huh?" Zhang Jiao looked back at Liao Hua and "tell me more details", after all, he didn't know much about the battle formation.

Liao Hua pointed to the outside of the city and said, "Now we have more than 100,000 people in Guangzong City, if the Han army wants to attack, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and now they are digging trenches outside the city, one is because our main force is all here, we can decide the victory or defeat in one battle, once our army breaks through to zero, Lu Zhi will have a headache." Second, Lu Zhi should deduce that our army is short of food and grass, once the encirclement is formed, the enemy and our two sides will switch between attack and defense, and then our army will inevitably turn to defend and break through due to the problem of food and grass, and Lu Zhi only needs to defend and change, without the advantage of the city wall, our army's combat power will be greatly discounted, and then Lu Zhi will be able to annihilate our army in one fell swoop without effort! ”

Liao Hua said a lot of things, Zhang Jiao looked at Liao Hua's eyes and couldn't help but feel a little weird, he couldn't imagine that this Liao Hua turned out to be a rare military talent, Zhang Jiao asked in a deep voice, "But how can our army break this strategy?" ”

Liao Hua thought for a while and said, "At this moment, the only way to do this is to abandon Guangzong and break through with the strength of the whole army while the enemy has not yet completed the encirclement!" ”

After Zhang Jiao listened to Liao Hua's words, he was noncommittal, his gaze looked into the distance, and then said, "What are the chances of winning if Zhang Liang, the Digong General stationed in the Dune Palace, and our army are flanked by Lu Zhi on both sides?" ”

Liao Hua was slightly stunned, and then shook his head with a wry smile, this great sage and good teacher really didn't know anything about the way of soldiers, Liao Hua said with a bitter smile on his face, "Good teacher, Lu Zhi is the three masters of the empire, and no one in the world can beat him with the way of soldiers, how could he let the good teacher and the general of the earth attack him!" Looking at the movements of the Han army, most of the generals of Digong have already ......" Liao Hua couldn't bear to continue, Zhang Jiao turned around and grabbed his collar and asked with a hideous face, "What's wrong?" ”

It was the first time for Liao Hua and everyone present to see Zhang Jiao showing such a terrifying face, Liao Hua did not flinch in the face of Zhang Jiao's gaze, he said word by word, "Most of the generals have been defeated and died!" ”

After Zhang Jiao listened to Liao Hua's words, the whole person was like being struck by lightning, and his body trembled and took two steps back, "How is it possible?" No way! How could anyone in this world hurt him?"

Zhang Jiao muttered to himself, as if he was crazy, suddenly his throat tightened, a mouthful of blood spurted out, Zhang Jiao's eyes were dark, and his body fell backwards.

"Good teacher!"

Liao Hua and the others hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhang Jiao back to the room.

The sky became more gloomy, and a rainstorm was ready to fall.
