Chapter 34: The First Battle of Quyang
Sure enough, when Gao Ye and his entourage walked to Wei County, they received a military report that Dong Zhuo was defeated by Zhang Jiao. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Dong Zhuo really gave up continuing to besiege Guangzong, who was defended by Zhang Jiao, and instead led the main force to attack Quyang, which was defended by Zhang Bao.
In fact, as soon as Dong Zhuo arrived in Guangzong, he understood why Lu Zhi didn't attack as soon as possible, not because he didn't want to, but because Guangzong's defense was really good. That horn had cut down the woods outside the city early, and the rolling wood and stones on the city had already been prepared, but Lu Zhi could not take materials nearby to make siege equipment. In addition, there are 100,000 yellow turbans in Guangzong City, where is it so easy to capture? There is no problem with Lu Zhi's method, how much food does it take for 100,000 yellow scarves to eat and chew horses every day? Just rely on a small county town in Guangzong, surround him for a month, and break it down! But now it's not good, Lu Zhi was taken down by the emperor because he was besieged and not attacked, so he can't follow in his footsteps, right? The only way to capture a place as soon as possible is to reassure the emperor first, so that he can continue to besiege Guangzong and win a complete victory.
But when Dong Zhuo attacked Quyang for half a month, he didn't take this city. That Zhang Bao really has some skills, he is impregnable in guarding the city, and he thought that the small county town would be down in the near future, but who would have thought that he had not even occupied the city for a few minutes for so long.
In fact, this can't be too blamed Dong Zhuo, he used to fight with the nomads in the north, more horse battles and field battles, where did he attack the city, so this time to attack Quyang, it can be regarded as the first time that the big girl went on a sedan chair! Unexpectedly, just when he was angry, he suddenly killed Zhang Jiao's people behind him. Grandma's, this horn is not good to take in Guangzong City, what are you doing when you run out?
The end of the enemy on the back is a rout, Zhang Jiaoqin led 50,000 horses from Guangzong to kill, where did Dong Zhuo, who was besieging the city, expect it? Zhang Bao in Quyang City saw that the reinforcements had arrived, and he also came out of the city, and under the leadership of the deputy general Yan Zheng, he attacked Dong Zhuo together with Zhang Jiao. Dong Zhuo was defeated, according to the military newspaper, if he hadn't suddenly killed an army that didn't know where it came from, I was afraid that Dong Zhuo's life would have to be explained here.
The good news of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun had already been sent to the emperor's desk, and the emperor was happy for two days before he received the news of Dong Zhuo's defeat, and this anger can be imagined. Liu Hong directly issued an order, ordering Emperor Fu Song to replace Dong Zhuo and lead the army to encircle and suppress Zhang Jiao, as for Dong Zhuo, just like that Lu Zhi, reduce the death penalty by one degree!
Huangfu Song received the emperor's order and continued to encircle and suppress Zhang Jiao instead of Dong Zhuo, while Zhu Jun received Huang Fu Song's military order and went straight to Quyang to kill, at least to contain Quyang's soldiers and horses, so that they could not merge with Guangzong's Zhang Jiao. On the night when he was stationed in Zhao County, not far from Quyang, Gao Ye heard that a pair of people came to meet each other.
Gao Ye heard about it, and Sun Jian naturally heard about it, because Zhu Jun sent someone to come, and at the same time asked both of them to come to the big tent. To be honest, Gao Ye and Sun Jian were also a little curious, and they both wanted to see who was like-minded, maybe it was the one who saved Dong Zhuo.
As for Gao Ye, although he knew that "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" described Liu Bei saving Dong Zhuo in the chaos, but it was a novel, who knows if it was true? After all, there is only one sentence in the official history that Liu Bei was awarded the title of Anxi County Lieutenant for his meritorious service in suppressing bandits, and as for what credit he has made, no one really knows. All the stories about his crusade against the Yellow Turbans were written by Luo Guanzhong, not historians. Therefore, Gao Ye is not sure if Liu Bei is here, what if it is someone else?
However, as soon as Gao Ye entered the big tent, he saw three people in the tent, and the first one was talking to Zhu Jun, who was not Liu Bei? As soon as Gao Ye and Sun Jian entered the big tent, Zhu Jun and Liu Bei both looked over. Liu Bei couldn't help but be happy when he saw Gao Ye here, after all, Gao Ye was the first person who was quite supportive of him, and he naturally had a little closeness to Gao Ye in his heart.
"Haha, who should I be, it turned out to be Brother Xuande." Gao Ye was the first to laugh.
"Oh? Mingxi, do you recognize them? Sun Jian couldn't help but ask on the side, he was worried about whether it would be the work of the Yellow Turban Thief, but now that Gao Ye knows them and looks very familiar, he naturally doesn't have to worry.
"Well, I was ordered to quell the rebellion in Youzhou before, and I am very familiar with the three of them. This Liu Bei Liu Xuande, after King Jing of Zhongshan, studied under Lu Zhonglang, and gathered 500 villagers with a cloth cloth in Youzhou to help Liu Taishou quell the rebellion. Gao Ye pointed at Liu Bei, said to Sun Jian, and then pointed to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, "These two are Xuande's brothers, and they both have the courage of ten thousand people, so Deng Mao and Cheng Yuanzhi died in the hands of the two of them." Gao Ye said, and said to Liu Bei and the others: "This is Sun Jian and Sun Wentai, brave and good at fighting, and even more impressive!" Especially in the battle of Wancheng, we took the lead and climbed the city wall, which allowed us to conquer Wancheng in one fell swoop. Gao Ye smiled. For such a brave person, he also has some admiration in his heart, and naturally he will not be stingy with praise.
Although Zhu Jun had already listened to Liu Bei's brief introduction of himself, and knew that he was a member of the Han family and a student of Lu Zhi, he really didn't know that his two brothers had beheaded the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai. In fact, it is precisely because Liu Bei said that he is a student of Lu Zhi and a classmate of Gongsun Zhan, that Zhu Jun believes that they are not meticulous, after all, as yellow turban thieves, most of them are farmers, and they may not even have enough to eat every day, so who cares that Gongsun Chan was once Lu Zhi's student?
Now that Gao Ye actually knows them and has fought side by side together, there is no need to doubt their identities anymore. It's just that I didn't expect that these two brothers of his also had the ability, Gao Ye's own martial arts were already very high, and even the people he admired could imagine their martial arts.
"Mrs. Liu ordered you to go to Qingzhou, can the war go well?" Gao Ye asked.
"Everything is going well, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban is just a rabble, just relying on the large number of people. Although the melee did not take advantage of the melee at first, Captain Zou then designed an ambush and wiped them out. After Captain Zou put down the rebellion, he returned to Zhuo County, I thought that my teacher was still fighting with Zhang Jiao in Guangzong, so I thought that I would come here to do my best, but I knew that I had just come and heard that my teacher was framed by eunuchs and escorted back to Luoyang, so I came to General Zhu. Liu Bei briefly talked about his experience after separating from Gao Ye, and Gao Ye nodded when he heard it.
"Dong Zhuo's army was defeated before, thanks to a team of men and horses, which solved Dong Zhuo's predicament, but you?" Sun Jian couldn't help asking.
"Hey, I'm angry when I mention that guy, don't mention it!" Before Liu Bei could speak, Zhang Fei shouted first.
"Third brother, don't be rude." Liu Bei said. Zhang Fei listened, just pouted, but he was still very obedient and didn't say more.
"Haha, it seems that Dong Zhuo is provoking you." Gao Ye quipped, "Anyway, he was also escorted back to Luoyang, don't think about him anymore, let's think more about how to take Quyang." ”
"Hmph, let me Lao Zhang say, it's best for that Zhang Bao to go out of the city to fight, and I poke him a few transparent holes, and the battle will be over!"
"Hahahaha!" Zhu Jun and Gao Ye Sun Jian couldn't help laughing together. Hun people are good for this, upright! The gloomy mood of the three of them for many days couldn't help but dissipate a lot. Maybe this is Zhang Fei's intention, after all, how can a person who is proficient in calligraphy and painting be a bad person?
However, this Quyang is really not easy to fight, this Zhang Bao is not a second commodity like Zhang Mancheng, the materials for defending the city are complete, as for the grain and grass, God knows how much grain and grass there is in his city, and the ones obtained from the attack on the state and the government in Jizhou are basically gathered in Guangzong and Quyang, which is the grain and grass in dozens of granaries.
However, this Zhang Bao seems to be really a little arrogant, and it may be because he defeated Dong Zhuo before, so his confidence has soared, and he actually sent Gao Sheng as a pioneer early the next morning to come to fight. Early in the morning, before he woke up at night, he was noisy by Zhu Jun's rumbling drums. When Gao Ye came to the front of the two armies, Gao Sheng had just stopped marching, and was showing off his might in front of the two armies.
A hint of mockery obviously flashed on Zhu Jun's face, too, as long as he looked at the more than 10,000 people on the opposite side who were untidy and sleepy-eyed, he knew that their combat power was limited. They all got up early in the morning, and the sergeants on their side were all in good spirits, and if they couldn't kill this group of farmers who hadn't woken up yet, it would be a big joke in the world.
"General, it's better to let Yide go to the battle, pick this goods that are sold by the standard, and these 10,000 people will be self-defeating." Gao Ye yawned, such a person and horse didn't even have any interest in fighting in Gao Ye's eyes.
Zhu Jun nodded yes, and sent Zhang Fei to fight. Zhang Fei looked at this guy's martial arts, and he was already unhappy in his heart, and he was eager to poke this guy through, but Liu Bei asked him to calm down, and he could only stay in the military formation with peace of mind. Zhu Jun asked him to fight, and he was in the middle of it, and immediately jumped his horse and raised his spear, fought out of the battle, and shouted: "Yanren Zhang Yide is here, and the guy on the other side dares to fight with me!" ”
Gao Sheng was already very confident in his martial arts, and when he pursued Dong Zhuo that day, he almost died under his own sword. As a native of Bingzhou, how could he not know Dong Zhuo's reputation? But even such a person is not his opponent, and his martial arts should be considered very good.
Now that there are people fighting, they naturally can't weaken their momentum, and they clasped the horse's belly, rushed forward, and shouted: "Gao Sheng is here!" The thief takes his life! ”
Zhang Fei didn't answer, he went straight to Gao Sheng, Gao Sheng raised his knife to greet him, and as soon as he clashed, he was shocked by Zhang Fei's hands numb, and secretly said in his heart that this black guy has a lot of strength! Immediately fought with Zhang Fei in the spirit of twelve points.
Zhang Fei failed to kill him with a spear, but it was a bit unexpected by himself, he really has some ability, those yellow turban thieves in the past, which one is my enemy? It seems that I met a master today! Immediately, Zhang Fei turned around and killed Gao Sheng again, but this time it was Zhang Fei's turn to be surprised, and he thought that he had two hits, but he didn't expect to stab himself to death with a spear.
Zhu Jun saw Gao Sheng's death, with a wave of his hand, the whole army was escorted, and directly killed Gao Sheng's men and horses, the Gao Sheng's subordinates saw that the Lord was about to die, how could they have the heart to fight again, and they all ran in all directions, Zhu Jun naturally took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, 10,000 pioneers fled in all directions, most of them naturally fled in the direction of Quyang, Zhu Jun led the army to chase after him in the back, especially his own Sanhe cavalry and Gao Ye's Bingzhou cavalry rushed to the front, as for Sun Jian and Liu Bei's infantry, they cleaned up the battlefield in the back.
Zhu Jun and Gao Ye pursued until the city of Quyang, and then set up camp, first, they pursued for a long time, people were sleepy and horses were lacking, and secondly, the cavalry was not good at attacking the city, so they naturally had to wait for Sun Jian to come. Sun Jian was cleaning up the battlefield in the back, and when he came, Zhu Jun and the others knew that there were not even a thousand yellow scarves that died in the hands of the officials and soldiers in this battle, and the rest all ran away.
But Zhu Jun doesn't care, anyway, now that the soldiers are in the city, what do you care about how many yellow scarves you just killed?
