Chapter 85: Mutiny
Luoyang Jingshi, Chongde Palace, court.
"Your Majesty, the death of the Yellow Turban Thief's first horn is really a blessing for my Han and a blessing for Your Majesty." The general He Jin received a quick beating from Huangfu Song and immediately reported it to Emperor Ling of Han.
"Okay~" Emperor Ling said with joy on his face: "Come on, pass on the decree." Zuo Zhonglang has the merit to worship the thief as the general of the left chariot, lead the Jizhou pastor, and seal the Huaili Marquis. Zhu Jun worshiped as the general of the right chariot and was named the Marquis of Qiantang. Do you have any objections? β
"The minister has his own music." Before Emperor Ling's words fell, an old voice came. When Emperor Ling saw that someone had a different opinion, he immediately disliked it, but when he saw that it was Situ Yuan Kui, an old guy, he had to put on a reluctant smile: "What is Yuan Situ's opinion?" β
Yuan Kui said slowly: "Your Majesty, the Yellow Turban Thief's first horn is the blessing of Your Majesty. However, when the old man heard about the battle of Gaoyang, Zuo Zhonglang burned the whole city. As a result, 100,000 thieves were burned down, and tens of thousands of people in the city also died in the fire. Although Zuo Zhonglang has meritorious deeds, this plan is vicious. The old man thinks that His Majesty can worship him as a general, not a marquis. β
"What?" When Yuan Kui said that Huangfu Song burned Gaoyang City, the entire court was shocked. This Huangfu Song actually used such a vicious strategy, and tens of thousands of Han people were all burned alive.
Emperor Ling was even more surprised, and the good news only said that the yellow scarf was broken, and the thief was the first to ambush him, but he did not say that he actually burned down the entire Gaoyang City. Such a vicious strategy, such a heart can be sealed?
"Someone."
"Yes."
"Give me ......" Emperor Ling suddenly stopped his mouth, glanced at the hundreds of officials in the hall, and thought secretly: Huangfu Song is no longer a vicious strategy, he is also a hero of the thief, and he is not rewarded for his merits, I am afraid that no one will be willing to do his best.
"Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun is temporarily a general. After the Yellow Turban thieves are completely exterminated, they will be sealed again. Also, spread the news of the death of the thief's first Zhang Bao to the world. β
"No." β¦β¦
The news of Zhang Jiao's death, under the deliberate impetus of Emperor Ling, instantly spread throughout the country. As soon as this news came out, the world was in an uproar.
In a house somewhere in Yuzhou, several people gathered together. One of them laughed and said, "Everyone, if Zhang Jiao dies, the Yellow Turban Thief will be destroyed in a blink of an eye." The days of fear and fear that I have been waiting for are coming to an end. β
The other gritted his teeth and said, "If the Yellow Turban Thief owes me and others, he must repay it a hundred times." Ladies and gentlemen, I think we should hurry up our actions in the next few days. β
"Well, that's good."
At this time, Guo Da in Yuzhou had already heard the news of Zhang Jiao's death, and his face was gloomy at this time. If the soldiers under his command hadn't followed Zhang Bao for a long time, I'm afraid they would have mutinied, even so, they were still on the verge of mutiny at any time, and their combat effectiveness was not to be considered.
"General, the price of food in the city has risen several times. My Xu family has already sold grain to settle the price of grain, but it is only a drop in the bucket. Please also ask the general to quickly deal with Chen, Zhao, Zhang, and Sun, otherwise the thieves and Yuzhou will be in chaos. Xu Ying said anxiously.
His Xu family took refuge in the Yellow Turban Army, and with the help of the Yellow Turban Army, he was already about to control the economic lifeline of Yuzhou. The rest of the families united to deal with the Xu family, and the Xu family at this time had reached the moment of life and death.
"Don't worry, these jumping clowns just heard the news of the death of General Tiangong, and thought that my Yellow Turban Army was about to be destroyed, so they dared to come out and make trouble. Don't you know that my Yuzhou Yellow Turban has already recognized the lord and the general of the land. As long as the general is here, he can't turn the sky upside down. You must rest assured that you will go back, and the return of the general will be the day of their ambush. β
Guo Da knew that he was suffering at this time, but he still had to appease the anxious Xu Ying in front of him. Under Guo Da's assurances and assurances, Xu Ying left suspiciously.
Looking at the back of Xu Ying's departure, Guo Da said coldly to Zhou Cang, who also had a gloomy face on the side: "General Tiangong is dead, presumably General Digong will soon recruit me to go to Jizhou." You secretly gather a group of henchmen, just wait for me to leave, you will send Chen, Zhao, Zhang, and Sun Sijia~" As he spoke, Guo Damian smiled and gestured his neck with his hand.
Zhou Cang didn't speak, just nodded fiercely and turned to leave.
The Yellow Turbans in Yuzhou have been with Zhang Bao for a long time, so their influence is relatively small, and the Yellow Turban Army in the rest of the region has already shown signs of mutiny. Zhang Jiao's prestige in the Yellow Turban Army is too high, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Qingzhou, these places will mutiny every day, not to mention looking at the official army, even the Yellow Turban Army, which is busy suppressing mutinies every day, also gives these Yellow Turban generals a headache.
The Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou was the most affected, and at this moment, the Yellow Turban Army of Jizhou, which was left behind by Zhang Jiao, was confronting the Yellow Turban Army brought by Zhang Bao under the leadership of the generals led by Zhang Niujiao and Zhang Yan.
"I'll tell you, I don't care who you are, who dares to stop us to avenge General Tiangong, don't blame our brothers for turning their faces and not recognizing people." Zhang Niujiao held a steel gun, and roared angrily.
At this time, the two groups of Yellow Turban soldiers looked at each other with weapons in their hands.
Xi Zhicai looked at Zhang Niujiao with a calm face. However, my heart was anxious. The lord Zhang Bao vomited blood and was in a coma for two days, and he didn't wake up for a long time, and the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou was excited and vowed to take revenge. And the Yellow Turban Army in Yuzhou did not dare to act without Zhang Bao's order, but they also had relatives.
If it weren't for Xi Zhicai, He Man and other generals who had been with Zhang Bao for a long time, I'm afraid these people would have already rushed to Youzhou to find Huangfu Song for revenge. Xi Zhicai looked at the swarm of yellow turban soldiers, and secretly complained in his heart: Lord, wake up quickly. This mess is really unbearable.
"General Zhang, generals. The lord is unconscious, I am like a group of dragons without a leader, aren't you running to Youzhou at this time to find your own death? Or would it be better to wait for the lord to wake up, and we would gather all our forces and go north with all our might? β
"Choke." Zhang Yan's weapon pointed at Xi Zhicai, and said coldly: "General Digong doesn't know when he will wake up." How can we not avenge the general when we receive the great favor of the general of heaven? When General Digong wakes up, if Zhang Yan is still alive, he will definitely be guilty. I'm sorry for you to give way now, or don't blame me for not thinking about my robes. β
As early as when Zhang Yan raised his weapon, He Man also clenched the mixed iron rod in his hand, if Zhang Yan dared to move. He was sure that he would kill Zhang Yan before he injured Xi Zhicai.
"Ahemγγγ" When everyone looked at each other, a coughing sound came. Immediately afterwards, a somewhat weak and hoarse voice came: "If I stop it, are you Zhang Yan going to kill me together?" β
Hearing this voice, Xi Zhicai's hanging heart finally sank. The crisis was resolved. At this time, the Yuzhou Yellow Turban Army made way from the middle, and Zhang Bao slowly walked into the field with Zhang Liang's support.
Looking at the two sides looking at each other, Zhang Bao said coldly: "I'm stopping in front of you, come, stab me to death with one shot." You can step on my corpse and avenge my eldest brother. β
Zhang Yan's expression was hideous, frost had already condensed in his eyes, and the back of his hands holding the gun also had green tendons bulging on the backs of his hands, just like the hideous scale armor on the back of a crocodile.
Suddenly, his complexion changed, and the steel gun in his hand "clanged" and fell to the ground. Immediately after that, he cried and cried, a rugged man, squatting on the ground like a child and crying, such a scene was simply sad to smell and cry.
Zhang Bao took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said: "My eldest brother was killed by the poison plan set up by the emperor and the old man, and I am so sad and grieved that I can't wait to eat his flesh, sleep on his skin, and drink his blood. β
Zhang Bao paused, and suddenly roared: "However, it seems that you can hold revenge when you wait for such a mess?" Not to mention revenge, it's good to come back alive. Now wait for your wings to grow stiff. Facing the robe Zeliang weapons, they are all long-lasting, right? Do you still have me, the general of the earth, in your eyes? Yes? Whoever has a weapon in his hand, come, and pierce a hole in my body. Ahem, "Because of the loud roar, Zhang Bao couldn't help coughing.
"Second brother." Zhang Liang's face was full of nervousness, and Zhang Bao waved his hand, signaling him not to speak.
The Jizhou Yellow Turban Army, which was still holding weapons in their hands, threw their weapons on the ground one after another. Zhang Bao's heart was completely put down. These people are all soldiers who have followed the eldest brother for a long time and are loyal to the Yellow Turban Army, if they don't listen to the order and are bent on revenge, Zhang Bao can only helplessly wave these robes.
No matter how talented you are, no matter how loyal you are, if you don't obey orders in the army, you can only have one end, death.
(========= PS: I believe that talent and loyalty in the army are very important, but the most important thing is to obey orders. The army must be ordered and forbidden in order to be called elite soldiers. In addition, everyone collects a lot and votes for a lot of recommendations to encourage Qingfeng. Thank you. οΌ
