Chapter 108: Luoyang

"The military advisor is a person who has collapsed in front of Mount Tai and has not changed, but now he is anxious, thinking that something big will happen?"

Zhang Bao said as he invited Xi Zhicai to sit down, and the two sat on the ground facing each other. There is a food table in the middle, and the tea brought by the soldiers is placed on the table. A few oil lamps illuminated the whole tent.

Xi Zhicai's face was a little solemn, and he said to Zhang Bao: "Lord, something is wrong. Let's take a look at this first. As he spoke, he handed the two letters in his hand to Zhang Bao.

Zhang Bao frowned and turned out to be a letter, ten lines at a glance. His face gradually became ugly, "Bang~" Zhang Bao slapped the letter on the table, made a loud noise, and gritted his teeth and said: "Huangfu Lao played a good chess hand." If so, I'm afraid our army will be homeless. ”

Xi Zhicai said worriedly: "Homelessness is on the one hand, on the other hand, Yuan Shao pretended to be our army in Jizhou and slaughtered the clan, this is what I am most worried about. If you want to achieve great things, you must first collect talents, and after this incident, it will be even more difficult for the lord to recruit talents. As the lord said, once Jizhou is lost, hundreds of thousands of our Yellow Turban troops will be homeless, and the army will be disheartened and feared defeat. Therefore, a fierce general should be quickly dispatched to lead troops to defend Jizhou. In addition~"

Xi Zhicai picked up a bowl of water, drank it all, wiped the beard at the corner of his mouth and said: "Zhu Jun, the general of the chariot cavalry, has secretly gone to Bingzhou to transfer troops and send generals, preparing to attack Huguan, and wants to cooperate with Huangfu Song to attack our army on both sides. I thought that the lord had sent someone to inform General Guo early to make preparations. ”

Zhang Bao pondered when he heard this: "The military advisor is reasonable, I will send two groups of people to support Jizhou all the way and Huguan all the way." After a pause, Zhang Bao said with a serious face: "Military advisor, I intended to start the war earlier than Huangfu Song, and now our army's morale is flourishing, and we can defeat Huangfu Song in one fell swoop when our army's morale is high." ”

"My lord. Although our army is stationed here, it is not appropriate to go to war immediately. First of all, the rear of our army is unstable, and once a war starts, there will be a riot in Jizhou at any time. Secondly, the forces in various places are eyeing our army, He Jin in Luoyang City is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, and the 20,000 Royal Forest Army in his hand is an elite division, once the war starts, it will definitely attack the rear of our army. The reason why it is calm now is because of the shock of hundreds of thousands of troops in the hands of the lord. Moreover, although our army is outnumbered, it is far inferior to the elite of the enemy's army, but although the enemy's army is elite, its grain and grass are inferior to our army. Now that we have cut off the enemy's food and grass, and the enemy still has surplus food, why not wait for his food and grass to run out and send troops to attack him? ”

Xi Zhicai did not agree with the decisive battle with Huangfu Song immediately, and the Yellow Turban Army at this time seemed to be nothing more than a strong outsider. Although it has a deterrent effect, when it comes to the real combat power with the Han army, once the war starts, it is not yet known who will kill the deer.

"No!"

Zhang Bao shook his head and said with a deep face: "As you said, our army is not as elite as the Han army. The reason for winning the battle is all due to the indomitable momentum and the large number of people to fill the void of death. If you take the enemy to attack when the food and grass are scarce, I don't know how much time it will take, and then the general situation of the world may change. ”

"This~"

Zhang Bao's face did not have a trace of expression, and he waved his hand violently, interrupting Xi Zhicai's words: "Don't say too much, the military advisor has made up my mind, and our army will start a war with Huangfu Song in two days." ”

"No." ……

The big school field.

"Woo woo~~"

"Knock knock~~"

The long and long horn sound has been unceasing, and the fierce war drums are like beating in the hearts of the soldiers, which makes people's blood boil, and a group of ironclad soldiers have driven out of the barracks, and entered the colonel's field to set up a formation, with swords raised simultaneously, spears like a forest, and the entire colonel's field is filled with a tragic killing atmosphere.

Zhang Bao was dressed in black iron armor, standing solemnly with his sword, and his whole person was like an angular stone, standing coldly on the parade platform.

Zhang Bao bowed his head slightly to the parade platform, and the evil man Dian Wei, who was like a ghost, snorted, held a heavy flag and went straight to the parade platform, and slammed the big flag in his hand into the air.

"Brothers, the thief killed my brother and burned my yellow scarf robe. In the battle of Gaoyang City, my 100,000 robes were burned, and its spotted beasts were exhausted, and there was no way to write about its crimes, and it was difficult to wash away its evil by pouring the water of the nine heavens. General Ben decided to fight him with all his might, and he would behead the old thief. ”

"The head of the old thief of the emperor will be beheaded!"

"The head of the emperor will be beheaded!"

The generals of the three armies led by Dian Wei Guanhai responded violently, and their eyes showed blood-colored murderous intent.

"Roar~"

"Roar~"

"Roar~"

The next moment, the officers and soldiers of the three armies standing in the school field also waved the weapons in their hands, and followed the howl, and for a time the landslide cracked, the stone broke the sky, the heaven and the earth changed color, and the wind whimpered~~......

It's night, and the General's Mansion.

At this time, a group of important officials of the court gathered in Hefu. Inside and outside the He Mansion, there were many armor soldiers, the dark iron armor flashed with a cold light in the candlelight, and the sharp spears exuded a cold killing intent.

He Jin said to Yuan Kui beside him with a solemn expression: "When Zhang Bao was in Luoyang, he should have been killed, and now he regrets it. Now that the thieves are strong, all the princes have already witnessed it, and such a tiger and wolf army has forced Huangfu Song and other famous generals to shrink into Youzhou. In my view, the decisive battle between the thieves and Huangfu Song and others was only in the past two days. But the pot is in the hands of the thief army, and the grain and grass of our army are difficult to reach the camp, once the emperor Fu Song is defeated, the thief soldiers can directly wave the army to the south, and then Luoyang is lost, and the temple is destroyed, and I am ashamed of the Son of Heaven and the people of Li. How good is that? If you do all the troops of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty to attack the thief army, what do you think? ”

The Yuan family is the gate of the three princes in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and there are countless officials under it, and Yuan Kui is the biggest pillar of the Yuan family. Representative of the Qingliu Party.

However, now Yuan Kui is sitting in He Jin's mansion, they just have different political views, and Yuan Kui, a person from a family of gate lords, looks down on an upstart like He Jin. Now the uprising of Zhang Bao and others has prompted them to put aside their prejudices and join forces.

Yuan Kui did not have the old look above the court at this time, on the contrary, he was full of energy, and his eyes flashed shrewdness from time to time. Hearing He Jin's words, he hurriedly persuaded: "The general can't, if there are bandits everywhere today, Liangzhou Beigong Boyu, Hanzhong Zhang Xiu's Wudou Mi Sect, Yizhou Xuan Yu and others have rebelled. There is also Song Jian who is called the emperor. If the soldiers and horses of the world are recruited at this time, fearing that the local garrison will be empty, but will be taken advantage of by the bandits, it will not only help nothing, but also add to the confusion. ”

Wang Yun suddenly said: "There are still tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Beijing, and the general can sneak attack the rear of the enemy when the thief army and the general of the chariot cavalry are fighting, and the general of the chariot cavalry will be attacked on both sides. ”

When He Jin heard this, he smiled bitterly and said: "Zishi is an honest person, but I don't know that the army of the division in Beijing is in my hands, and there are still the five colonels of the Northern Army in the control of eunuchs, although I am a general, I can't be transferred." ”

Wang Yun said that the eunuchs were different from himself and others. Although everyone has different political views, they are all for the sake of maintaining the stability of the country. And the eunuchs are just a group of people who seize power and profit, and they don't care about whether the country is in danger or not. They will not obediently hand over their military power.

Yuan Feng suddenly opened his closed eyes, a kind of glittering cold light, and said in a somewhat solemn tone: "General, the eunuch party has misled the country, and it is a great disaster, so it needs to be cut off as soon as possible!" At present, the decisive battle between the thief army and our army provides the general with an opportunity to seek military power and weaken the eunuch party! ”

"Oh?"

When He Jin heard this, his eyes lit up, he had long wanted to take the military power controlled by the eunuch into his hands, and when he heard Yuan Feng's words, he couldn't help but be very interested: "How do you say this?" ”

Yuan Feng thought for a moment and said: "The thief army is powerful, and Zhang Bao is cunning with soldiers, and he actually forced Huangfu Song to shrink into Youzhou, which shocked the Jingshi, and His Majesty was also frightened when he thought about it. If the general asks His Majesty for help at this time, and leads his division to fight against the thief from both sides, the eunuchs will not stop it, and the five schools of the Northern Army will all fall into the hands of the general. ”

He Jin was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "In this way, I will immediately enter the palace to meet the saint, please break the thief." ”
