Chapter 41: Taiping Road
Half an hour later, Gao Chang hurriedly came out of the dungeon, glanced back at the cell leader, and ordered: "Untie her rope and lock her in the room, she is not allowed to escape, but she must not be harmed!" ”
He glanced at Guo Jia again, "Fengxiao, follow me back to the house and gather all the generals!" “

"Bang!"
"How did you do it, the entire Pingyuan County has become the world of Taiping Dao, at least 100,000 people have joined Taiping Dao, even Pingyuan County guards Shuming, and Bai Wenshi, the county Cheng, has also joined, if it wasn't for the luck of catching Zhang Ning this time, would you wait until they got up and approached Yecheng, you will tell me!"
Gao Chang yelled angrily at everyone in the audience. It's no wonder that Gao Chang was so angry, but what Zhang Ning explained made him so angry, the entire county, including the county shou and the county, almost became a subordinate of Taiping Dao, and Pingyuan County was the nest of Taiping Dao at all, but he didn't know anything, and he didn't even hear a little rumor.
It was also the first time for everyone in the hall to see Gao Chang so angry, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to take a breath.
In the end, it was Guo Jia who came out and said: "The lord is angry, this matter can't be blamed on everyone, as Jia expected, the Taiping Road can have such a scale, I'm afraid it has been secretly developed for a long time, it should have existed before I came to Hebei, and the county guard is afraid that he has already joined, with the help of the county guard, the Taiping Road is so well hidden." “
After listening to Guo Jia's explanation, Gao Chang Tieqing's face improved, swept the people in the hall, and said with a little apology: "It's not that I deliberately targeted you, it's really this news that surprised me too much, just in Pingyuan County, which is only four days away from us, there is such a huge force hidden, if we don't pry open Zhang Ning's mouth, once they rebel and attack Yecheng, I'm afraid we will all become prisoners under the guard!" So, just a rude to you! I apologize to you here! “
Everyone hurriedly returned the salute: "Don't dare, don't dare, I have indeed had this matter!" “
Gao Chang breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "According to what Zhang Ning said, the leader of Taiping Dao is her father-in-law Zhang Jiao, and there are a total of nine Qu Shuai under him, namely Pingyuan County Shou Shuming, Zhang Jiao's eldest disciple Huang Chao, second disciple Tang Zhou, third disciple Zhang Mancheng, fourth disciple Cheng Zhiyuan, fifth disciple Gao Sheng, Zhang Jiao's two younger brothers Zhang Bao Zhang Liang, and Pingyuan County Soldiers and Horses Division commander Liu Qi. There are 10,000 people under its jurisdiction, and 10,000 people are led by Zhang Jiao's close disciple Guan Hai. According to their original plan, it was on March 5, the birthday of the Taiping Taoist Advocate Jiao, but because Zhang Jiao's eldest disciple Huang Chao had slipped through the net during the last arrest, Zhang Jiao should have taken action in advance! “
Zhu Sheng echoed: "What the lord said is very true, in my humble opinion, Zhang Jiao will definitely go straight to Yecheng after the incident, in a vain attempt to kill the lord with one blow, and finish his work in one battle, so I should prepare for defense in time!" “
"Mr. Zhu's words are wrong!" Yue Fei came out of the ranks of the generals and said: "Although there are more than 100,000 people in Taiping Dao, their military discipline is chaotic, and the soldiers are not soldiers. “
Zhu Sheng asked suspiciously, "How does General Yue think we should respond?" “
"Replace defense with offense, and face the Taiping Road bandits head-on." Yue Fei said loudly. After that, he arched his hand to Gao Chang and said: "Lord, if the Taiping bandits take Yecheng, they must pass through the Northern Plains, and the last general will ask for his life, and lead an elite army to ambush the Taiping army here, and he will get a great achievement!" “
Guo Jia said in a deep voice: "What General Yue said is very true, if such bandits take a defensive position, they will lose their own reputation, if they take the initiative to attack and achieve all the success in one battle, it will also deter those who have dissent." “
Gao Chang said: "Pengju is reasonable, Yue Fei listens to the order, you lead 15,000 elite soldiers to Beiyuan to face the Taiping bandits, Li Yuanfang listens to the order, and you lead the dark satellite to set off at night, as I expected, although the Taiping Dao bandits will come to Yecheng, but there must be a considerable number of leaders staying in the plains, you quickly go to the plains to wipe out these rebels, and then order Qin Qiong, who is stationed in Qinghe, to lead troops to Pingyuan County, and assist Li Yuanfang to completely cut off the roots of Taiping Dao for me!" “
The crowd gave their hands and said, "No! “
。。。。。。。。。。。
As Gao Chang, Guo Jia and others expected, although Huang Chao fled back to the plain and concealed from Zhang Jiao that he only cared about himself and left Zhang Ning behind, most of what happened in Yecheng was still reported to Zhang Jiao. So Zhang Jiao decided to revolt in advance, and tried his best to block the news of Pingyuan County, and immediately asked Huang Chao to lead the Taiping Dao army to kill Yecheng in the starry night, and before Gao Chang could react, he would enter Yecheng and take down his head.
。。。。。。。。。。。
It was already dark, and the Taiping army that had marched for a day had already been exhausted, although Huang Chao advocated that the soldiers should be fast, but several other commanders Zhang Liang Tang Zhou and others all thought that the soldiers were quite tired and should have a good rest, and Huang Chao had no choice but to order to camp on the spot.
Although most of the Taiping Dao Qu Shuai are some tricksters, there are also people who know how to use soldiers, such as Huang Chao, although he has not experienced any major battles, he still read a few military books, and he guides the soldiers in style when he is stationed in the camp.
"Ten watchtowers should be erected, and watchtowers should also be erected in the south to prevent the enemies of Qinghe County from killing from the back."
"The granary battalion must be out of range of bows and arrows!"
。。。。。。。。。。
Under the guidance of Huang Chao's pretense, the Taiping Army's camp was set up. The Taiping sergeants who had been running around all day went into their accounts one after another, and fell asleep. Even the basic sentry couldn't stay sleepy and fell asleep peacefully on the watchtower.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
Just as Huang Chao was sleeping soundly, an exclamation woke him up from his sleep, and he jumped up and shouted, "What happened? ”
Tang Zhou rushed over, "Oh no, senior brother, the Han army has come in." ”
"What?"
Huang Chao's eyes widened, and he ran out of the camp barefoot, and the whole camp had become a sea of fire, and the soldiers of the Han army entered his camp like wolves, while the soldiers of the Taiping army fled in all directions crying and screaming as if they had lost their souls, without the slightest hint of resistance.
Huang Chao's eyes couldn't help but darken, and he almost fainted. Tang Zhou on the side hurriedly held Huang Chao and shouted: "Senior brother, we will lose this battle, let's withdraw quickly!" ”
Huang Chao suddenly came to his senses and immediately shouted, "Retreat!" ”
"Where did the thief escape?"
Before Huang Chao's words fell, he heard a loud shout, and a young general rushed over with a double hammer. He has a war horse under his crotch, and his arms have the strength of a thousand catties, and he generally dances the double hammer vigorously. Those who stand in the way of others die, those who stop others die, invincible, killing the Taiping army all over the field, and the blood stains the field.
Huang Chao saw the soul flying out of the sky, and trembled and commanded Tang Zhou: "Second junior brother, hurry, go and block him." ”
Tang Zhou's face changed, and then he said in a deep voice: "Yes!" ”
Huang Chao was overjoyed and said, "Second junior brother, please." Then he turned around and wanted to leave. But just as he was about to turn around, a dagger suddenly stabbed out and stabbed him in the chest.
Huang Chao looked at Tang Zhou incredulously, only to see Tang Zhou pull out the dagger with a murderous face, and said coldly: "Senior brother, don't blame me, I don't want to die yet!" After that, he cut off Huang Chao's head with another knife, went straight to Yue Yun, and knelt down and said: "The villain Tang Zhou, who has admired General Gao's prestige for a long time, has now taken down the head of the traitor Huang Chao to surrender." ”
Although Yue Yun was fighting just now, the scene where Tang Zhou stabbed Huang Chao was clearly visible, and he immediately shouted angrily with a young heart: "You shameless villain, in order to survive for yourself, you even kill your senior brother, and the young master looks down on people like you the most." After that, he danced the double hammer and smashed it at Tang Zhou.
Hearing only a "bang", Yue Yun's hammer smashed firmly on Tang Zhou's head, blurring Tang Zhou's flesh and blood.
Yue Yun spat disdainfully on Tang Zhou's corpse, and then rode his horse to kill elsewhere.
