It is said that Zhao Hong surrendered to Cheng, and Xu Chu arranged for more than 1,000 Yellow Turban soldiers who came over with him to go to Yingchuan to fraudulently claim to win and return, and to open the city gate by fraud, earn Yang Tong, and skillfully win Yingchuan.

Zhao Hong led more than 1,000 young and middle-aged Yellow Turban soldiers to receive their weapons and equipment, and after bidding farewell to Xu Chu and others, he walked towards Yingchuan City without looking back.
looked at the figure of Zhao Hong and the others in the distance. Fan Jian asked, "Third General, aren't you afraid that kid will regret it?" ”
"If he repents at this time, there will be no loss to our army; After that, he has been in our army for a long time, and if he is a mutiny, the loss to our army will be great! I let him go this time, firstly, to test whether he is sincere, and secondly, to see if this kid is capable of taking on the responsibility of a party if he is sincere. When the time comes, I can give the eldest brother a correct judgment. Xu Chu explained slowly.
"If he repents, will we still be able to fight this Yingchuan City?" Dong Dao asked on the side.
"No more fighting! Bypass it! Xu Chu said, raised his head and looked at Yingchuan's side, and said, "We don't have that much time to attack this city. In two or three days, we had to pass through Yingchuan. Just like that Sun Jian rushed to Changshe in five days to help us. We can't get to Runan in more than six days at most. ”
"So what do we do now?" Iron Armor asked from the side.
"Jin Dun, you take a team of people to take out some of our money, and take advantage of this moment to send it to those who have come over. Once you've sent it to them, let them go now. Xu Chu explained to Jin Dun, turned back to Tie Jia and said, "You arrange for two deputy commanders to patrol with two squads, and you must ensure the safety of these two hours." Dong Dao and Chen Gun, you immediately inform the officers and men of each battalion to immediately return to their tents and rest in their clothes and prepare for tomorrow's action. ”
The generals were ordered to go down. Xu Chu returned to his big tent, spread out the marching blanket, and lay down.
Besides, Zhao Hong rode a horse, carried a gun, and came towards Yingchuan with 1,200 people. This kid is really determined to surrender this time.
It turned out that a few days ago, Liu Qian hadn't thought about whether to reinforce Runan or attack Wancheng. In order to grasp the fighters, he sent dozens of spies from the intelligence battalion to these towns to inquire about the news.
Coincidentally, one day a spy was met by Zhao Hong in Yingchuan City. They recognized him, and Zhao Hong invited him into his mansion to drink. The spy drank a limited amount of alcohol, and rarely drank alcohol. This time, Zhao Hong quickly drunk him. This kid spit out the truth after drinking and told Liao Hua and Pei Yuanshao about it, although he didn't say it clearly. But Zhao Hong still understood a thing or two. Originally, Zhao Hong wanted to kill this kid, but after thinking about it, isn't he just a spy? Besides, I still have old friends with myself. When he was soft-handed, he didn't have the intention to kill. After he sobered up, Zhao Hong asked some more about the Nanping Army. However, at this time, this spy was much more cautious when he spoke, and only talked about the policy of the Pingnan Army towards the Yellow Turbans and the situation of Liao Hua, but did not mention a word about whether to attack Runan and Yingchuan. In the end, under Zhao Hong's arrangement, he left safely. However, since then, this Zhao Hong has missed Liao Hua and Pei Yuanshao every day, fantasizing that one day he will also join the Pingnan Army and have the addiction of being an official.
Therefore, this time he got Xu Chu's approval, and promised him such a great credit. This kid is so beautiful in his heart now! I am thinking in my heart, and soon I will be the same as Liao Hua and Pei Yuanshao, holding a fortune and being an official, that kind of life is much better than living under the noses of others like this.
In Yingchuan City, Yang Tong had already gone back to his mansion to sleep. At this time, there was only a small group of soldiers left in the city, led by a small leader like a squad leader.
The soldiers guarding the city were all startled when they suddenly saw Zhao Hong limping down the city with a group of soldiers. Didn't you say that Daqu Shuai led the troops to rob the camp? Difficulty: Failed to hijack the camp? Why are there so many people coming back?
Zhao Hong scolded at the soldiers guarding the city: "You dogs, don't you see Ben Shuai injured? Why don't you open the city gate and take me into the city! ”
The little leader who was guarding the city came to his senses from his surprise, and hurriedly led people to open the city gate and brought Zhao Hong and the other soldiers in. He sent someone to deliver a letter to Yang Tong.
Anyway, didn't Zhao Hong and others be good? How did you become limped?
It turned out that Zhao Hong wanted to go back like this on the way. Then Yang Tong must ask himself how he came back. I told him that Xu Chu put him back, isn't that looking for death? Also, Zhang Sansi and the others are dead, how to explain this? For a moment, the kid stopped the line and stopped moving forward.
The place where they stopped was quite coincidental, with another wild dog kennel not far from them. It was late in the day, and such a large group of people passed by, and the little wild dog whined in fear. When Zhao Hong heard this, he thought about it. He instructed his brothers below to go and a few people to take and slaughter all the wild dogs, and take out the blood of the wild dogs and sprinkle them on everyone's bodies. After that, he slashed himself several times with his knife, ruined his clothes, and added a few wounds, but the wounds were relatively shallow, and with a little medicine, the bleeding was stopped. Some of the brothers below also learned and did some tricks and feet on their own bodies. There were even a few people who used knives to cut two half-inch-deep wounds on their thighs. Zhao Hong saw it and hurriedly stopped it, and said, "Brothers, let's go back to the city this time for the future." Maybe I have to fight Yang Tong's guy when I go back, and I just need to leave some small injuries. Don't affect our actions in the future. ”
As a result, they became the remnants of the defeated army......
Zhao Hong took the more than 1,200 soldiers and did not go to the barracks, but returned to the government. He ordered Lang Zhong to be brought in to treat the two soldiers who had cut their thighs.
It didn't take long for Yang Tong to come to the mansion accompanied by more than a dozen personal guards. I saw that Zhao Hong's arms were bandaged, and the clothes and armor on his body were also damaged to tatters, and Zhao Hong's eyes showed a terrible cold light, as if he hated him to the bone. He approached Zhao Hong with a smile on his face and asked, "Qu Shuai is afraid that he will miss the camp this time, right?" ”
"Humph! Great idea for you!? Yang Tong, what do you have in mind? The official army has already been prepared, if it weren't for Zhang Sansi to save him with his life this time, I'm afraid the position of this commander would be yours! Zhao Hong was furious when he heard this.
Such a big hat pressed on Yang Tong's head, and he relied on it, and I am afraid it would be difficult to appease these yellow turban soldiers outside! He hurriedly defended: "Lord Qu Shuai, don't talk nonsense! Where do I have such a mind? If there were, I wouldn't have let you in at this point! ”
"Okay! It turns out that you have a heart of disobedience. Someone, take him down for me! Zhao Hong was looking for fault, but he didn't expect this kid to say such a sentence in a hurry. Zhao Hong got it, can he still let him go?
Definitely not.
Without waiting for Yang Tong to argue, more than a hundred and ten people rushed out from behind the curtain in the hall, and without saying a word, more than ten people from Yang Tong were stabbed into mud with a single knife and gun.
Poor Yang Tong thought he was smart, where did he think that he would be killed by Zhao Hong.
After dawn on the second day, Zhao Hong ordered more than 100 of the 1,000 soldiers he had brought back to replace the soldiers guarding the city gates. He sent two more people to Xu Chu's camp to report to Xu Chu about the situation last night.
He went to the barracks to organize the soldiers in the city to conduct drills on the grounds of drills, so as to delay time, waiting for Xu Chu and others to lead the troops. He was afraid that Yang Tong's people would rebel after learning that Yang Tong had been killed, and they would not be able to control the situation.
After dawn, Xu Chu and the others had already packed up their camp tents very early, and the generals had lined up neatly, waiting for news from Zhao Hong. If Zhao Hong goes back, he will not come back. Xu Chu waited until the sun came out, went to the front of the city to ask for a clear question, and then led the troops to leave. If Zhao Hong returns to the city, settle Yang Tong and recover Yingchuan. Immediately they marched into the city.
After receiving the news, Xu Chu immediately ordered Jin Dun and Tie Armor to lead the 16th and 17th battalions of 2,000 volunteers as the front army, and enter the city with the messenger first. He took Dong Dao and Fan Jian to lead the 3,000 volunteers of the 18th, 19th and 20th battalions as the rear army, and then entered the city.
Xu Chu did this to prevent Zhao Hong from cheating. So that when the time comes, the front army is surrounded, and the rear army can respond in time. Fortunately, this Zhao Hong had already killed Yang Tong at this time, and he had stabilized the five thousand Yellow Turban Army in the city.
The golden shield and iron armor entered the city, and under the leadership of the messenger, they soon came to the outside of the training ground of the military camp.
Zhao Hong saw Jin Dun and Tie Armor coming with a large team of people in the training ground, and his heart was full of confidence. After turning back to explain a few words to his cronies, he came to the high platform on the edge of the training ground. The 1,000 soldiers he brought back followed Zhao Hong's previous arrangement, and when they saw him on the stage, they came to the high platform to defend themselves.
The 5,000 soldiers who originally stayed in the city didn't understand what was going on?! What is this Qu Shuai doing now?
Outside the camp, Jin Dun and Iron Armor led the 2,000 soldiers under their command to pour into the gate, blocking the way out of the training ground. The two flags behind them were fluttering with huge gold and iron characters; After the two big flags, a higher flag fluttered with three words: "Pingnan Army".
It's just how stupid these soldiers are, and now they understand. The officers and soldiers are coming! The name of this Pingnan Army has been rumored in the Yellow Turban Army for a long time. I'm afraid that I have surpassed the great sages and good teachers now.
Zhao Hong saw the golden shield and the iron armor leading the team to block the gate, and also saw that the soldiers below began to be a little confused, and shouted loudly: "Brothers in the canal, be quiet!" Don't panic, as long as you don't mess around, you're safe! ”
The Yellow Turban soldiers below heard Qu Shuai speak and quickly fell silent.
Zhao Hong waved to the back, took an item from a soldier in the audience, and said to the five thousand soldiers: "Look, this is our military advisor Yang Tong." In order to be the commander of the canal for himself, he encouraged us to go to the Han army camp to rob the camp. Did you know? Zhang San, Ma Si, Wang Wu, and Liu Qi all died because of him. ”
The guy looked at the soldiers below and didn't react, and then said, "You might want to ask us how this man came back?" If you don't ask, I will tell you. Look back at the people behind you! They turned out to be the same as us, they were all deceived by Zhang Jiao's demons. They are now the ones who eat the national meal. My brothers and I will be one of them in no time. A total of 4,000 people went last night, and more than 2,000 people are now on their way home after receiving the coils issued by the Pingnan Army. If it weren't for the kindness of General Xu of the Pingnan Army last night, which of us would have been able to come back? ”
Many of those soldiers had heard that the prisoners of the Pingnan Army would be sent to go home after surrendering, and it seemed to be true. For a while, the following people began to talk again.
Zhao Hong waved his hand and said again: "Now the great sage and good teacher have passed away. It's time to choose a good home for ourselves! Brothers, the Han Dynasty army is welcoming to us. ”
Listen to this sentence. Jin Dun shouted loudly behind him: "As long as you surrender, if people between the ages of twenty and thirty are willing to join the Pingnan Army, the door of the Pingnan Army will be open to you." Those who are unwilling and those who are no longer in this range of age can go to the government office to get the entanglement in a while, and they can return to their hometowns. ”
As soon as these words came out, these people all knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and they couldn't wait to surrender.
