What happened next, of course, went very smoothly.

The total number of troops in Xiaquyang is more than 300,000. Sun Xia has 170,000 and Guan Hai has 160,000. In an internal strife, the two sides suffered no more than 30,000 casualties, 30,000 or 40,000 were killed by the Youzhou army, and about 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers fled. In the end, Zhou Cang collected a total of more than 150,000 Yellow Turban soldiers and more than 100,000 old and weak women and children.

The next time, Liu Yuan ordered Guan Hai and Zhou Cang to bring tokens and led the more than 200,000 people straight to Youzhou.

These yellow scarves are huge in number, but they are vulnerable, and they are also large consumers of grain, if they are brought with them, the 7,000 army under their command will not have to live. What's more, Guan Hai Zhoucang was promoted by Zhang Jiao after all, and it was impossible to take them to fight Zhang Jiao before he really gained Liu Yuan's trust.

sent a dry yellow scarf to descend to the pawn, Liu Yuan this time is not like before, waiting for the yellow scarf to assemble slowly. Instead, it is necessary to rush to Zhang Jiao with lightning speed! Before he could react to the defeat of Xia Quyang, he was defeated with one blow!

Guangping, Quliang.

These days, there have been frequent good news in Ye County, and hundreds of thousands of troops have pressed Lu Zhi to fight, beating him so hard that he can't raise his head at all, and Lu Zhi is about to be unable to withstand it. All the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai were beaming, only to defeat Lu Zhi, Luoyang was in sight, and the world was going to be peaceful!

However, unlike other people's happiness, as the leader of the Yellow Turban, Zhang Jiao, a great sage and mentor, is deeply worried!

Somehow, he always felt a shadow loom over him, making him anxious and irritable.

Zhang Jiao walked back and forth in the sandalwood-covered room, without stopping, and his footsteps were a little scattered.

"Someone!"

Zhang Jiao's deep voice came out, and then two young men wearing Taoist robes walked in.

"Master."

"The order goes down, this Heavenly Master will send 100,000 elites to return to Julu. In addition, he ordered Cheng Zhiyuan to hold Ye County tightly, and not to attack, as long as the Han army was dragged down, it would be a great achievement! ”

The two young men in Taoist costumes couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this. But because of the majesty of Zhang Jiao, he didn't dare to ask, so he had to retreat.

Seeing Dao Tong go out, Zhang Jiao exhaled, grabbed the map on the table, and fixed his eyes on Xia Quyang.

"It must be here!"

Ye County.

"What?" Cheng Zhiyuan looked at the Taoist boy who was giving orders in puzzlement, and said hysterically: "Lu Zhi's fall is imminent, why do you want to turn offense to defense?!" ”

Dao Tong shook his head helplessly and said, "This is the order of the great sage and good teacher, I don't know." ”

Cheng Zhiyuan thought of Zhang Jiao's order, and suddenly felt that there was really a serious matter of life and death, otherwise, with the wisdom of a great sage and good teacher, how could he take away 100,000 elites?

"Could it be that there is a change in the rear?!"

Cheng Zhiyuan lowered his head, looked at the simple map on the table, and his gaze was like a horn, fixed on Xia Quyang.

"Respect the great sage and good teacher, please ask the Taoist boy to draw the elite by himself. Come and order the commanders to reduce the intensity of the attack day by day and paralyze Lu Zhi! ”

Anyang north, Qishan overflowing.

Lu Zhizhong's army was stationed here, relying on Qishan to block the Yellow Turban offensive.

On this day, Lu Zhi gathered all the generals under his command.

"Have you noticed these days?"

Found?

Most of the generals were confused. Only a few people, staring and thinking.

"But the teacher said that the Yellow Turban offensive was slowing down?"

Gongsun Chan spoke.

When Lu Zhi heard this, he nodded approvingly and said, "Since Bogui sees it, do you have an idea?" ”

Gongsun Chan pondered for a moment and said, "It stands to reason that the Yellow Turban is powerful and has the upper hand in all aspects, so there is no reason to slow down the offensive. But now that it's happening, there must be a reason for it. The students were worried, I am afraid that there is something wrong inside or behind the yellow scarf. ”

"That makes sense!"

Lu Zhi smiled and stroked his beard, and said, "Bo Gui can see this, not bad, not bad!" But Bergui, can you figure out the specifics? ”

Gongsun Chan frowned, and finally shook his head.

"Please ask the teacher for advice."

Lu Zhi glanced at Gongsun Zhan, sighed secretly, and then looked at the generals who were confused, and sighed in his heart, and said, "Everyone, where is Zhang Jiao's lair?" ”

"Jizhou."

"Where is the north of Jizhou?"

"Youzhou!"

"Who is there in Youzhou?"

"Champion Hou!"

Everyone spoke in unison.

"It turned out to be him!"

Everyone was stunned.

Gongsun Zhan looked at the expressions of these generals, and couldn't help but think of the 'humiliation' he suffered in Youzhou, and the hatred in his eyes flashed.

"Champion Hou's army is attacking, and Zhang Jiao is vulnerable!"

Someone shouted, as if Liu Yuan was the backbone of the Han Dynasty, and the million-strong army of the Yellow Turban was a native chicken and tile dog.

Lu Zhi nodded imperceptibly, and said, "General Ben received a report that the Youzhou Army had already defeated Zhang Bao's 300,000 army in Lunu, and now it is about to enter Julu County, right?" Zhang Jiao will definitely focus on Julu, and Ye County must take defense as the top priority, so everyone, our opportunity has come! ”

"Haha, there is a champion Hou who has restrained Zhang Jiao's main force, and Ye County can go down!"

Giant deer, Zhangjiao base camp.

This is the place where Zhang Jiao ascended to the heights, but Liu Yuan traveled all the way and found that most people were not Taiping believers, which couldn't help but be very strange.

Asked someone to stop a trembling old man, Liu Yuan said with a pleasant face: "Old man, let me ask you a question." ”

"You ask, you ask."

"Zhang Jiao, this person, the old man knows, right?"

"Yes." The old man said: "At the beginning, Zhang Jiao also went to our village to preach, heal and save people, but now, I heard that this kid has become a thief, but it's a pity, it's a pity." As he spoke, he shook his head and sighed.

"Listening to the old man's meaning, I'm not optimistic about Zhang Jiao."

The old man chatted with Liu Yuan for a few words, and felt that this general was not a vicious person, so he also let go, and said, "What kind of Taiping Sect is he, as soon as he hears it, it is fake." Zhang Jiao is our giant deer man, we know everything about him, what do you say that the gods descend to earth, hey, just deceive the foreigners. ”

Liu Yuan was stunned.

Zhang Jiao was born here, everything is hanging in the light, everyone knows, where does someone believe in what Taiping Religion?

However, because this is Zhang Jiao's hometown, except for the government, everything else is as usual, and Zhang Jiao did not poison the township. The soldiers under his command also knew that this was Zhang Jiao's hometown, and they did not dare to be reckless, so as not to anger Zhang Jiao.

"It seems that Julu doesn't know about the defeat of Xia Quyang here" Liu Yuan pondered: "Then" because Liu Yuan broke through Xia Quyang, he quickly whipped all the way, and Julu naturally did not receive the news of the fall of Xia Quyang.

"Dian Laodian, I'll give you a task."

"Young master, you say." Dian Wei perked up and said busily.

"Take dozens of people, take advantage of the darkness to blend into the giant deer, raise fire at night, open the city gate, let's attack inside and outside, and break the giant deer!"

Dian Wei nodded, turned around and disappeared into the forest, and in a moment, more than thirty 'refugees' dressed in tatters and with thick stains on their faces walked out of the forest and went straight to the giant deer.

The sky is getting darker.

The gate of Julu City closed slowly, and the Yellow Turban soldiers leaned lazily on the city wall, you said, I said, talk about which girl in the city is good, snow white and tender, talk about the great sage and good teacher, break the official army, and do not say that he will ascend the throne as the emperor

Time passed slowly, and the time was approaching.

Suddenly, the smoke of the Taishou Mansion burst out, and the flames burst out!

"It's out of the water!"

"Firefighting! Taishoufu is on fire, hurry up and put out the fire! ”

The patrolling Yellow Turban soldiers were shocked, and the Taishou Mansion was on fire, so what was it? That's where the family of the great sage and good teacher is, if something really happens, ten heads can't bear the guilt! So, the Supreme Commander of Julu hurriedly gathered his soldiers and went straight to fight the fire.

In the city gate tower, several teams of yellow turban soldiers were dozing, and were suddenly awakened by the sound of running water, and at this time, dozens of strong men who were also wearing yellow turban soldiers suddenly walked out of the darkness.

"You are"

Before the words fell, suddenly, an overwhelming array of arrows came out, and without a single scream, they were all annihilated!

"Open the gates!"

This is Dian Wei's voice.

With a creaking sound, the gates of Julu opened!

Then, Liu Yuan, who was hiding not far away, waved his horsewhip and the army charged!

However, he didn't resist at all, and rushed straight into the giant deer.

On the city wall, the Yellow Turban soldiers defending the city were solved by Dian Wei as soon as possible, and in the city, all the Yellow Turban patrols and half of the Yellow Turban troops in the barracks were sent out, and they were pouring water around the Taishou Mansion!

So, when Liu Yuan waved his army to attack, the Yellow Turban Army, which was fighting fires or watching the excitement, did not react at all and was defeated at a very fast speed!

Giant deer, capture!

When the people in Julu City got up early in the morning, the people patrolling the streets were no longer yellow turban soldiers with yellow scarves on their heads, but groups of solemn black-armored soldiers.

Liu Yuan sat in the hall of the Taishou Mansion, looking at the dozen or so people kneeling under the hall, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help grinning.

These dozen or so people are all the families of the three brothers Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang.

Less, really little.

It can be seen that Zhang Jiao is indeed from a poor background, otherwise he would be a little richer, and there would be more than these people. For example, those local tyrants, which family is not hundreds or thousands of relatives? A dozen? I'm embarrassed to say it.

Liu Yuan looked at a young girl in Tsing Yi kneeling in the front row, and couldn't help asking, "Are you Zhang Jiao's daughter?" ”

The woman raised her head, and Liu Yuan's eyes couldn't help but light up. Bright eyes and bright teeth, she is a little beauty.

"Concubine Zhang Ning, I have seen the champion Hou."

"Huh?" Liu Yuan was surprised: "You're not afraid of me?" ”

Zhang Ning's voice was flat, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Why should the concubine be afraid of you?"

"Because your dad is my enemy!"

Liu Yuan accentuated his tone.

"So what?" Zhang Ning said: "My mother and I have been thinking about the arrival of this day for a long time, and we are prepared in our hearts, so there is nothing to be afraid of." ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Yuan was even more strange: "You have been thinking for a long time? How do you know? ”

Zhang Ning glanced at Liu Yuan quietly, and said lightly: "The Han Dynasty has ruled the world for four hundred years, and it has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even though there have been natural disasters and government oppression over the years, there is still a trace of vitality in the Han Dynasty, which is not something that can be overthrown by my father at all, not to mention, isn't there still you, the champion? ”

Liu Yuan nodded and said, "I can't see it, you little woman also has some knowledge." ”

"Ben Hou got a tip, your father, the great sage and good teacher Zhang Jiao, is rushing here, you say, how should Ben Hou treat you?"

"Whatever you want." Zhang Ning said: "If you want to threaten your father with us, it is impossible to achieve your goal." Although Daddy is the leader of the Yellow Turban, he is now unstoppable. Even if he ordered the disbandment of the Yellow Turban now, the leader of Qu Shuai under his command would not agree! Therefore, it is better for Hou Ye to break this thought. ”

"Okay, good" Liu Yuan praised the festival: "Talented girl, really a talented girl!" I didn't expect you to be a woman, you can see it so clearly, it's not simple, you deserve to be the daughter of a great sage and good teacher, hahaha, don't worry, Ben Hou has never had the habit of killing prisoners hahaha" Liu Yuan looked up to the sky and laughed and went out.

After leaving the Zhang family, Liu Yuan immediately summoned his subordinates.

"Lao Dian, how did you do what you ordered?"

"Hehe, I'm an old man, don't worry, young master." Dian Wei smiled and said: "I and a few brothers drank several jars of wine in front of those yellow turban thieves, and when we were drunk, they took the opportunity to escape hahaha"

"Then, assemble your army, prepare for battle, and hurry up after dark, and follow behind"
