Chapter Ninety-Nine: Confrontation

It is said that Cao Ying expected that Zhang Mancheng did not know the general situation of Yingchuan, and under the pretense of Huangfu Song's name, he was shocked and made to withdraw his army, and then took the trail to Bowangpo in one step ahead of the Yellow Turban Army, and set a fire to Zhang Mancheng's surprise, burning more than 100,000 people.

After Huangfu Song learned the news, his original worries immediately disappeared, and he focused on dealing with the remnants of Bocai entrenched in the Long Society.

At the beginning, Huangfu Song defeated Bocai, and was about to defeat him in one fell swoop when his army was scattered. But because of the news of Zhang Mancheng's help, Huangfu Song had to give up this idea and lost an opportunity. even took out an army of 20,000 and handed it over to Cao Ying, a descendant who was quite favored by him, hoping that he could stop Zhang Mancheng.

Unexpectedly, Cao Ying not only completed the task perfectly, but also exceeded the original plan.

With just one fire, all the Nanyang Yellow Turbans were annihilated, making the Yellow Turbans in the world lose an extremely considerable force and make immeasurable contributions to the imperial court.

Huangfu Song hurriedly wrote to Luoyang and gave Cao Ying a tribute.

To say that Huangfu Song worked so hard to make meritorious contributions to Cao Ying, in addition to taking a very fancy to him, he was actually a little sorry in his heart.

Why?

The 20,000 horses in Cao Ying's hands at the beginning were really too miserable. Huangfu Song was even ready to pay tribute to Cao Ying. Therefore, I have always been a little entangled in my heart. However, it can also be seen from this that Huangfu Song is not a real politician.

If this matter falls into the hands of Yuan Kui, I am afraid that not only will he not apologize, but he will also be jealous!

How can the merits of subordinates surpass those of superiors? This is not allowed!

After this battle, the battle situation of the Yingchuan battlefield, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is a good piece. Zhang Mancheng was destroyed, and only the remnants of the aftermath were clinging to the Changshe, there was no sufficient food and grass inside, and there were no strong reinforcements outside, and the destruction was only in the evening!

Not to mention the battle situation in the Central Plains, look back, and see how Liu Yuan and Zhang Jiao are maneuvering in Julu.

Zhang Jiaoshi has many soldiers and is elite; Liu Yuanbing's major generals are outnumbered, and it is difficult to defeat the enemy.

After Zhang Jiao suffered a big loss that night, Liu Yuan led his army to abandon Julu City, hide his travels, and escape. Zhang Jiao tried every means to investigate and investigate, but there was not even the slightest bit of news.

When many people thought that Liu Yuan had left Julu, Zhang Jiao didn't think so.

As soon as Zhang Jiao's family and relatives were in Liu Yuan's hands, Zhang Jiao was anxious.

Second, he subconsciously felt that there was a shadow that was like nothing, coiling around, and when he relaxed a little, he was going to strike a thunderous blow!

Liu Yuan! It must have been him, he was still around him, carefully watching for even the slightest opportunity.

The combat power of the Youzhou Army, Zhang Jiao is deeply aware of it.

Liu Yuan's martial arts are outstanding, it can be said that he covers the world, and he can only repel him by gathering the strength of his predecessors.

The elite of Youzhou Iron Cavalry is unparalleled, and it has won the mystery of the wind forest volcano in the art of war. It is as fast as the wind, as slow as a forest, as aggressive as fire, and as immobile as a mountain!

Otherwise, with the 100,000 elites he selected from the million yellow scarves, even if he returned to the horse to sneak attack, he would not lose nearly one-fifth of his manpower in less than a moment!

Such a powerful leader, such an elite army, and this leader's cunning mind are really difficult to deal with.

Therefore, since that said that he fought hard with Liu Yuan, repelled Liu Yuan but was seriously injured by thousands of people, under the care of his gentle and peaceful Taoist merits, it has not improved much! All of this is caused by worry.

Zhang Jiao sat cross-legged on the futon, opened his eyes slightly, and sighed faintly, but he couldn't think of any way to strangle Liu Yuan.

Zhang Jiao compared his army with Liu Yuan's army in the current situation, but the results were helpless.

In terms of troops, Zhang Jiao's army is 80,000, far more than Liu Yuan's army by ten times!

In terms of combat power, although the 100,000 Yellow Turbans are a little worse than the regular army in Youzhou, they are not too much, because of the difference in numbers, this is not irreparable.

As far as the generals are concerned, Zhang Jiao used forbidden techniques, but he was still able to resist Liu Yuan.

These three things are the advantages of the yellow scarf.

However, the Yellow Turban Army is full of foot soldiers, while the Youzhou Army is cavalry!

This alone will resolve all the previous advantages!

What about the number of soldiers? The Youzhou army is all four-legged, and if you can't beat it, you can't run yet? Not only run, but also run to places you can't find, making you anxious.

What if the combat power is good? The Youzhou army not only surpassed the elite of the Yellow Turban in combat power, but also had refined food weapons and armor, and when they charged, how could the Yellow Turban resist?

Zhang Jiao is powerful, but it is a borrowed power, not his own thing, and there is a price. Although he can temporarily repel Liu Yuan, can he stand it? How many more times can I borrow it?

Thinking about it, Zhang Jiao only felt that the entire giant deer was actually dim, which was not good for him!

How can we turn the tide and defeat Liu Yuan?

There is only one way, fight hard!

As long as he opens up his position with the Youzhou army and fights hard, Zhang Jiao believes that he will definitely be able to annihilate this slippery copper pea.

But this requires a prerequisite.

That is, the Youzhou army is willing to fight hard with him, otherwise everything is utopian.

How can you get the Youzhou army to fight with him?

How do you force it to appear?

Zhang Jiao fell into deep thought.

The Youzhou Army is alone, going deep into Jizhou, what should be his biggest weakness?

Grain and grass!

Zhang Jiao's heart flashed, and the corners of his mouth curled.

Solid wall clear!

So, Zhang Jiao immediately ordered that all the villages in Julu County should be moved to the vicinity of the county seat!

If you don't comply, you won't be killed!

Zhang Jiao's face was full of ruthlessness!

As long as Liu Yuan can be defeated, what is this loss?

Popular Hearts?

Hmph, the people's hearts have not yet been cultivated. As long as this cancer can be removed, nothing matters

In a top-secret canyon deep in the mountains not far from Julu County, Liu Yuan was slowly playing Tai Chi outside the tent at this time. In the open space not far away, Dian Wei and the light cavalry commander were training the army, but the scene was in full swing.

At this moment, I saw a few pro-soldiers come forward, and when they saw Liu Yuan boxing, they didn't dare to disturb, and only stood aside.

"What's the matter?"

Liu Yuan stopped and asked lightly.

"My lord, we're in trouble."

The soldier replied.

"Trouble?" Liu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's talk carefully." ”

"Yes." The pro-soldier pondered for a moment, organized his language, and said: "Since our army went deep into Jizhou and temporarily lost contact with the logistics troops, the grain and grass were already insufficient a few days ago. Fortunately, General Dian asked me to wait until I went out to requisition grain and grass before it could be resolved. However, when I came out of the mountain today, I found that all the towns and villages in the vicinity of thirty miles were moving, and I pretended to be a poor person to ask, only to find out, but it was Julu Zhangjiao who ordered all the population of Julu County to move to the surrounding county town, so"

"Hmph" After Liu Yuan heard this, he sneered: "The strong wall is clear!" Hey, Zhang Jiao still has some skills! ”

"So, my lord, what should we do now?"

"What else?" Liu Yuan's face turned pale, and he said: "Order, rest for half an hour, after recovering your strength, prepare to pull!" ”

"Zhang Jiao, Zhang Jiao, I have to say that your plan is appropriate." Liu Yuan smiled: "Want to force me to fight you?" Good! Yes! ”

"What? Got news? ”

Zhang Jiao's face was happy, and he said, "Where is it?" ”

"Great sage and good teacher, fifty miles north of the city!"

"Hahaha Liu Yuan, Liu Yuan, no matter how slippery you are, you must follow the meaning of this heavenly master and show up obediently!" Zhang Jiao looked up to the sky and laughed, full of energy, as if the injury he suffered a few days ago had healed in an instant.

"Order, assemble the army, and prepare to march!"

In a moment, the city of Julu County was full of people, and the flags were fluttering! A group of sergeants wrapped in yellow scarves on their heads, holding sharp blades in their hands, their faces expressionless, and their footsteps were almost the same, shaking the entire city again and again. Quite a bit of its momentum.

Zhang Jiao rode a tall black steed, his face shimmering with a ruddy sheen, as if victory was at hand.

Thirty miles away, Liu Yuan rode on the lion and tiger beast, squinting his eyes slightly, and a three-zhang golden Liuzi banner behind him waved in the wind. The army of 7,000 stood still, with a thick momentum, like a mountain and a sea.

Suddenly, there was an earthquake-like sound in the distance, which became more and more intense, and the liger snorted restlessly, and its four sharp claws dug out several large pits half a foot deep in the hard ground.

Then, on the horizon, a black line slowly appeared under the sun's illumination.

Liu Yuan's eyes opened slightly, and he saw a huge Zhang character with a circle of two meters above the big flag headed by him!

Zhang Jiao, here!

Zhang Jiao's army kept advancing until it was three hundred meters away from the Youzhou army, and they all stopped in unison. Then, the dust in the sky fluttered up, and from a distance, Zhang Jiao's 80,000 army looked like a cloud of earthy yellow smoke, misty.

"Champion Hou!"

"Great Sage and Good Teacher!"

The two of them shouted at the same time, threw off their horsewhips, drove their mounts, and walked into the middle of the field, ten feet apart, and looked at each other quietly.

The slight long wind blew, blowing up the horns and long hair robes, a fluttering scene.

Long.

Zhang Jiao spoke first.

"Champion Hou, surrender!"

Zhang Jiao's words made Liu Yuan burst into flames, he looked at Zhang Jiao in surprise, and he didn't know what to say: "My great sage and good teacher, hey, where did you start talking about this?" Do you think that just these 80,000 people will eat me Liu Yuan? ”

"Liu Zihong!" Zhang Jiao's face was solemn and said, "You are a talent!" The best talent in the world! I need a talent like you to overthrow the rotten rule of the Han Dynasty and give peace and tranquility to the people! ”

"Look!" Zhang Jiao stretched out his hand and pointed at the 80,000 army behind him, and said, "You only have 7,000 people, no matter how powerful you are, how can you defeat me?!" Surrender, as long as you surrender, I will still say the same thing, my daughter will marry you! After a hundred years, you will be the master of the world! ”

After Liu Yuan heard this, he actually laughed: "Hahaha great sage and good teacher, great sage and good teacher, are you bad in your brain?" Who am I, Liu Yuan? The clan relatives of the Han family, the great-grandson of the authentic Emperor Wu! How can I be in the same boat as you!? If you want to fight, you can't fight, I, Liu Yuan, am scared? ! As he spoke, his voice was violent.

Zhang Jiao looked at him, and finally sighed, and said, "That being the case, don't blame this Heavenly Master for being ruthless!" ”

"Come on, come on, let me ride in Youzhou, and teach you how powerful the Yellow Turban is elite!"

The corners of Liu Yuan's mouth twitched, and as soon as he pulled the reins, he was about to turn back to the formation. The liger looked back, roared at the horns, spread its claws, and galloped away.

The two of them each returned to their main formation, and Zhang Jiao ordered again and again, and a team of elite yellow turban swords and guns were unsheathed and began to prepare for battle.

Liu Yuan glanced at it with slanted eyes, his expression was solemn, and he said, "This time, it's up to you?!" ”

"Haha, young master, don't worry, my old man has really not taken it seriously and fought a tough battle over the years, I'm really excited! This time, I will not disappoint the young master! ”

Liu Yuan nodded, took a hundred steps back with two thousand guards, and five thousand light horsemen stood in front of the formation.

Dian Wei laughed wildly, waved the halberd in his hand again and again, and saw five thousand light horsemen move!
