In the first year of Zhongping (184), the Yellow Turban peasant uprising broke out, and Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty appointed Lu Zhi as the general of Beizhonglang, Huangfu Song as the general of Zuozhonglang, and Zhu Jun as the general of the Right Zhonglang, and dispatched the elite soldiers of the whole country to attack the Yellow Turban Rebellion. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info said that after Lu Zhizi, the general of Beizhonglang, left Beijing, the soldiers of the five schools of the Northern Army (Tun Cavalry, Yue Cai, Infantry, Changshui, and Shooting Sound Five Battalions) rushed to the Jizhou battlefield with Fenwei General Lu Bu as the vanguard.

"My lord, all the way is an exiled refugee." Lu Bu rode on a horse, looked at the hungry people all over the wilderness with a sad heart, and said to Lu Zhi beside him hatefully, "Isn't this guy Zhang Jiao claiming to save the people of Li from dire straits? Is that how he saved? Seeing that the great rivers and mountains had become so fragmented under the ravages of war, Lu Zhi shook his head helplessly.

The army marched for half a day and arrived at a hillside, at this time the army had entered the territory of Jizhou, Lu Bu ordered Zhao Yun to temporarily serve as the vanguard, first, Zhao Yun was familiar with the terrain of Jizhou and could lead the army to advance smoothly, and second, he was about to have a head-to-head confrontation with Zhang Jiao's army, and Lu Bu should discuss the battle plan with Lu Zhizongyuan as soon as possible, so as not to panic when he got it. Lu Zhi saw that the terrain here was open and condescending, and the surrounding vegetation was not as lush and dense as other places, which was conducive to enemy ambushes, so he ordered the army to camp here tonight.

"General, I just received an urgent report from Qin Lang from Changping County, Zhang Jiao's pioneer generals Zhang Leigong and Li Damu have led an army of 50,000 to surround the county." Lu Zhi pointed to the map and said to Lu Bu: "Zhang Jiao brought his own army of 150,000 and Zhang Baiqi, Qi Gen, Hu Cai, Zuo Zhangba and others to camp forty miles away from Changping. Lu Bu frowned and listened to this series of numbers, and his mind spun rapidly: Our army is only 50,000, and the strong attack will definitely not succeed, but if it does not confront Zhang Jiao's army head-on, the defenders of Changping will completely lose their fighting spirit, and they will surrender Zhang Jiao if they don't make trouble.

Lu Bu stared at the map for a long time before he slowly spoke: "Although the enemy is outnumbered, we must confront Zhang Jiao's army head-on and win. "That's right, we must defeat Zhang Jiao before he breaks through Changping, otherwise the odds will be even lower." Lu Zhi worried. Carefully recalling the information about the Yellow Turban Army received in the past few days, it is not difficult to see that most of the so-called 400,000 Yellow Turban Army are old and weak women and children, and the most of them can go into battle is only 200,000, and these people have very few received military training. Seeing Lu Bu pacing back and forth in the tent, Lu Zhi didn't dare to disturb him, so he had to sit quietly and wait.

If you want to say that it is definitely not possible to charge the battle alone as usual, this time it is a full 200,000 people, even if you are brave and powerful, people can drown themselves with a mouthful of spit, such as gathering all the cavalry to attack the Yellow Turban Army that lacks war horses? Even if you can win in that way, it will only hurt the enemy by 1,000 and lose 800, it is not worth it, and God knows if Cheng Zhiyuan and Yingchuanbo in Youzhou will bring troops to reinforce Zhang Jiao? Just as he was thinking about it, the scout outside the door walked in and handed over the latest battle report.

Lu Zhi took the battle report and looked at it, and couldn't help but gasp: the first to go out on the right Zhonglang general Zhu Jun in Yingchuan and the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai Bocai Department of 70,000 people had an encounter, due to the surprise and the enemy I was outnumbered, Zhu Jun lost the first battle and the whole army was annihilated, fortunately more than 40,000 people from the Huangfu Song Department rushed to rescue Zhu Jun, but the Huangfu Song Department suffered heavy losses and was currently retreating to the Changshe, and Bo Cai chased after the soldiers around the Changshe.

In this way, wouldn't Zhang Jiao be even more arrogant? Even if Zhang Jiao is not arrogant, it is difficult to guarantee that his subordinates will not their tails to the sky? Putting down the battle report, Lu Bu said to himself, "Arrogance, arrogant soldiers will be defeated, arrogant soldiers." A look of joy flashed in Lu Bu's eyes, and he turned to Lu Zhi and said, "My lord, the last general has found a way to break the enemy." ”

Forty miles outside Changping County, the Yellow Turban Army camp.

"Good!" Zhang Jiao stroked his beard while stroking his beard and said with a smile: "Two of the three-way army sent by the faint monarch have been defeated in our hands, as long as we defeat the most elite soldiers of the five schools of the northern army led by Lu Zhi, the general of the northern middle school, the faint monarch will no longer have anything to rely on, and then he will either abdicate or commit suicide to thank the people of the world!" ”

Zhang Jiao's words made all the generals of the Yellow Turban Army present excited, and they all got up and saluted Zhang Jiao: "The great sage and good teacher are wise and wise, and we are willing to go to the soup for the great sage and good teacher, and I will not hesitate." Zhang Jiao stood up with his wine glass and said to everyone: "Okay, pass on my general order, so that the striker Zhang Leigong and Li Damu must capture Changping County before dusk tomorrow, and I will defeat Lu Zhi's 50,000 soldiers for the barrier in turn." Ladies and gentlemen, let us overthrow this rotten court overnight. Huang Long, the deputy general next to him, saw Zhang Jiao's high-spirited appearance, and secretly smiled bitterly and thought: The Han Dynasty has a vast territory and many talents, how can it be subverted overnight? Seeing that Zhang Jiao was about to get up and leave, Huang Long hurriedly stepped forward and admonished: "Great sage and good teacher, I heard that Lu Zhixianxian is the famous Fenwei general Lu Bu in recent years, this person has never been defeated since his debut, and this person should be the first to take the lead in the rebellion of Li Wenhou in Xiliang, and now against this person, our army must be extremely cautious!" ”

"Oh? Is it the Fenwei general Lu Bu who single-handedly repelled the 70,000 Xiongnu army in Jiuyuan City, and the Wuwei Outer Halberd picked up 3,000 iron chariot soldiers? In the face of this Lu Bu, who became famous all over the world before the age of twenty, as soon as he made a move, he made Xiliang, who had been in turmoil for nearly a year, return to calm as soon as he made a move, Zhang Jiao did not dare to be careless at this moment, so he put away his joy again, calmed down, and thought carefully about how to deal with this difficult opponent.

"Lord Lu, Zhang Jiao has more than 400,000 people, it is impossible to fight such a mobile battle without scruples, thinking that he must have a place where a large army hoards grain and grass, if we can manage to find this place and destroy it in one fell swoop, then there will be chaos in Zhang Jiao's army." After introducing the battle plan, Lu Bu pointed to the map and said to Lu Zhi, "And the key to the whole plan is to resist the first attack of the Yellow Turban Army in Changping. Looking at the map, constantly recalling Lu Bu's almost perfect battle plan, Lu Zhi nodded with satisfaction: "It's really terrifying, in just one hour, you can come up with such a perfect battle plan, okay, Feng Xian, the old man will give up his life to accompany the gentleman, and tomorrow will be fiercely fighting, and the old man will lead the guards to enter the city defense of the governor of Changping first." ”

"No, Lord Lu, you must be in charge of the Chinese army, if Zhang Jiao knows that you and I have all entered Changping, it is hard to guarantee that he will not urge the army to attack our army outside the city first with the advantage of numbers." Lu Bu waved his hand. While he was talking, Zhao Yun walked in from outside the camp tent: "Report to the two generals, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, the commanders of the state cavalry, don't drive Xun You and Chen Gong with 20,000 foot cavalry have joined the rear army General Zongyuan.

Recalling that when he set off from Luoyang, Lu Bu ordered Xu Huang to return quickly and send Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Chen Gong and Xun You to help, calculating that there were still two days, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly, Lu Bu was immediately overjoyed, with these 20,000 troops trained by himself, Lu Bu's heart was bottomed, because in Lu Bu's heart, there was no team in the world that could match his own Bingzhou army to reassure him. When Lu Zhi heard that reinforcements had arrived, he immediately ordered Zhang Liao and the four of them to enter the account, and at the same time informed the four of them of Lu Bu's battle plan.

"Such a delicate battle plan, presumably in addition to my general, Lord Lu is ...... in the army" Chen Gong is like this, he will offend people as soon as he opens his mouth, but fortunately, Lu Zhi is generous and does not care about him, Lu Bu hurriedly coughed a few times to stop: "Gongtai, Gongda, do you have anything else to add?" Xun You and Chen Gong glanced at each other, and Qi Qi saluted Lu Bu and said: "Since the start of the army, the two of us have conceived countless battle plans, all of which are related to the general's bravery, I didn't expect the general to come up with such a clever plan, so I am short-sighted!" Speaking of this, Lu Bu hurriedly helped the two of them up: "How can you say that the two gentlemen are short-sighted, after all, I, Lu Bu, am famous all over the world with my martial arts." ”

Xun You smiled, his lord is like this, he would rather cover up his own light with his own hands, and he doesn't want his subordinates to suffer a little grievance, and immediately said: "There is basically no change, it is the last one, I think that the general made a plan to quickly gather the main force back to defend Changping after the war, I think it was because the troops were stretched, but now that there are 20,000 fresh troops in Bingzhou, we might as well make a vigorous scene, so that our Bingzhou army will be brilliant again." As he spoke, Xun You's hand pointed to the word giant deer on the map.

Besides, the general He Jin was surprised when he received the report of the defeat of Zhu Jun, the general of the right Zhonglang, and hurriedly sent Cao Cao, one of the eight captains of Xiyuan, to lead 10,000 elite cavalry to immediately go to Changshe to support Huangfu Song, and Zhu Jun went to the table to recruit Sun Jian, a fierce tiger in Jiangdong who had shined in Xiliang before, as the Sima of the auxiliary army

At the east gate of Luoyang, Zhonglang General Yuan Shao hugged his fist at Cao Cao and said: "I wish Meng De a successful start to this trip!" As he spoke, he looked at the 10,000 elite horsemen behind Cao Cao unwillingly. Cao Cao said with a smile: "Borrowing the original auspicious words, Meng De said goodbye!" As he spoke, he urged the army to pull out. Yuan Shao glanced at it dissatisfied: "This was originally what I should have said." Thinking that He Jin did not appoint himself as the commander of the expedition, Yuan Shao was extremely dissatisfied. Yan Liangwen, who was behind him, patted Yuan Shao's shoulder indifferently: "General, you are extraordinary in your martial arts, and sooner or later you will go into battle, let's go!" Let's drink! ”

Cao Cao's army left Luoyang, adhering to the law of fast, three days and three nights, rushed 500 miles, and soon entered the territory of Chenliu, at this time Cao Cao's brother Xiahoudun with more than 1,000 soldiers has been waiting for a long time.

"Mengde! I haven't seen you for many days, and you've become the commander of an army! Seeing Cao Cao so high-spirited, Xiahoudun couldn't help but clench his fists and exclaimed, "The old lady knows that you are going to go to the Yellow Turban Army, and I am worried that there will be no generals in your army, so I asked me to bring more than a thousand soldiers to help, and I hope to see you!" Listening to Xiahoudun's words, Cao Cao couldn't help but get worried, and immediately replied: "Yuan Rang, I understand your kindness, but the old lady has to have a guarantee, otherwise I can't calm down and go to the battlefield, so you better go back!" "This Xiahou is the Western Han Dynasty servant Xiahou Infant since childhood, fierce and unusual, brave and difficult to do, since Cao Cao left home has been staying in front of Cao Cao's father Cao Song to protect his safety.

"Hahaha! Mengde, you really think highly of me! Xiahoudun laughed and said, "If you want to talk about bravery, none of us can compare to Miaocai, that martial mad guy!" Since he returned to his hometown, our county master has been much easier! Listening to Xiahoudun's words, Cao Cao's eyes couldn't help but light up: "What? Yuan Rang, do you mean that Miao Caicheng has gone down the mountain? Xiahoudun changed his posture and hugged his arms and replied: "Yes, not only him, Zilian Zixiao also rushed back with the safety of the old lady, you should rest assured that they are there!" By the way, Mengde, let me introduce you to a strong man! As he spoke, Xiahoudun turned around and shouted, "Brother Dian Wei, come and see the general!" ”

Cao Cao followed the prestige, only to see a strong man eight feet tall coming towards the horse, carefully watched, Cao Cao found that although this person has fluffy hair and thick beard, but the physique is strong and muscular, a pair of big eyes are as bright as copper bells, and each hand holds an iron halberd in his left and right hands, and he proudly hugged his fist at Cao Cao and said: "Chen Liuji, I am a man Dian Wei, I have seen a general!" Xiahoudun patted Dian Wei's shoulder and introduced: "Meng De, this is a strange material found in the mountains, the **** galloped horse, suddenly heard the sound of a tiger neighing in the mountains and forests, and hurriedly summoned his strong men to check, who knew that as soon as he entered the woods, he saw the Dian Wei brothers driving a white-fronted tiger with their bare hands, and how ferocious the tiger was on weekdays, he was shocked to cross the mountain stream regardless of life and death under Dian Wei's roar, and I was impressed by the Dian Wei brothers on the spot and invited him to join the army. "Oh?" Cao Cao was surprised, "No wonder the strong man is so good-looking, he is so brave, come, Meng De is a strong man!" As he spoke, Cao Cao raised his head and drank the liquor in his cup.

At the same time as Cao Cao was drinking, a gust of wind suddenly blew, and the Yamen Banner weighing 100 catties couldn't help the swift wind, and swayed a few times and rushed to Cao Cao's head-on. Cao Cao was defenseless at this time with his back to the banner, but Dian Wei Dian Wei's eyes were bright, he stepped forward and held the wine glass in his left hand, and gathered his muscles in his right hand and shouted: "Stop!" After a while, everyone who came back from the fright couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and everyone present admired Dian Wei from the bottom of their hearts.

Throwing away the flagpole, Dian Wei drank the liquor and said to Cao Cao: "Thanks to the general's affordability, Dian Wei will definitely follow the general in this life, but the general will look forward." Putting down the wine glass, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart: what a Dian Wei, chasing the tiger across the stream and carrying the flag with one arm, none of which can be done by mortals, this person is not a god descending from heaven? Thinking of Lu Bu, who was also brave in the three armies, Cao Cao couldn't help but laugh secretly: If the two fight, what will be the result? ”

"General Dian Wei, do you have a table?" Putting down the wine glass, Cao Cao couldn't help but be interested. Dian Wei shook his head and replied: "General Hui, my parents died when I was a child, and I was later wanted by the government and exiled to the end of the world because of my revenge for my fellow villagers. Cao Cao patted Dian Wei's shoulder and exclaimed, "So the heroes of the world can be mutilated, according to the following point of view, the strong man is brave and fierce and the tiger is difficult to match in the world, and there is evil in the past, and the tiger is hunted in the next life, and the finger painting kills people." If the strong man does not give up, is it good to take the word as evil? Hearing this, Dian Wei thought for a moment, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Hahaha, okay, it's called evil!" Thank you General for the word! ”

As the first rays of sunlight in the early morning came into contact with the earth, the 50,000 Yellow Turban Army under the command of Zhang Leigong and Li Damu began to wrap their heads in yellow turbans amid the sound of horns, shouting and rushing towards Changping like a tide. At this moment, a young general in dark armor and beautiful eyebrows at the head of Changping City was steadily watching the almost crazy enemy under the city wall.

"Junyi, I'm afraid I'm going to rely on you again this time!" Qin Lang arched his hand beside him. Yes, this person in front of him is one of the famous five good generals in the future, Zhang He Zhang Junyi, he was originally from Hejian, and this time he went to Jizhou to plan to mix an official position under Jizhou Assassin Shi Han Fu, but he didn't expect to launch the Yellow Turban Uprising just after stepping into Jizhou Zhangjiao, and for a time the world was in turmoil, and Zhang He had to temporarily live in Changping to assist Qin Lang in guarding the city defense.

I saw Zhang He salute Qin Lang in return: "I am trusted by Lord Meng, and I will put the life and death of the people in the city in the hands of Jun Yi, and I will do my best to keep Changping safe!" As he spoke, the sergeant guarding the city next to him shouted: "Report to the general, the enemy army is less than a hundred steps away from the city wall!" Zhang He turned around, carefully wiping the family heirloom Hongguan gun, and ordered: "Tell me fifty steps away!" After another moment, the sergeant next to him shouted, "Report to the general, it's already fifty steps!" Zhang He smiled slightly and continued: "Tell me again in thirty steps!" ”

Seeing that the enemy army was already thirty steps away from the city, the sergeant just wanted to speak, and suddenly saw the Yellow Turban soldiers rushing to the front suddenly let out a scream, and hundreds of soldiers in the front fell to the ground together, and the soldiers behind did not know how to still shout slogans forward, and a large-scale stampede occurred in the blink of an eye, and then suddenly heard Zhang He shouting: "Crossbowman, release arrows!" Zhang He smiled and watched a large number of enemies fall under the city, and said with a secret smile in his heart: "It seems that the number of traps I dug last night is still a little insufficient!" ”

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Leigong saw that nearly a thousand soldiers in the vanguard fell under the enemy's bow and arrows, fortunately, he had an army of 50,000, and the thousands of people did not move their fur, and immediately waved the battle flag and ordered: "Everyone listen, sacrifice for the sake of the great sage and good teacher is a well-deserved death, don't care about the wounded, and use the fastest speed to reach the city wall and attack." Hearing Zhang Leigong's order, the wounded who fell on the front position couldn't help but close their eyes in despair, and sure enough, it didn't take long for thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers to step on their bodies and rush over, although the wounded let out a tragic wail, but unfortunately they were quickly drowned in the earth-shattering slogan: "Long live the great sage and good teacher, long live the great sage and good teacher, long live the Taiping Road!" ”

Seeing the long ladders on the women's wall, Zhang He calmly ordered: "Pour fish oil and prepare torches!" When the first batch of Yellow Turban soldiers were about to climb the head of Changping City with steel knives in their mouths, they suddenly felt a sticky and pungent smell of liquid poured down their heads, and when they continued to move forward without knowing it, the long ladder under them shook violently, and then a burst of billowing smoke mixed with fire dragons poured down from top to bottom, and for a time the vanguard soldiers screamed and fell down the city. At this time, the soldiers who pushed the city wood to attack the city gate were not much better, and finally rushed to the city gate in front of the city gate in the rain of arrows, and many shooting holes suddenly appeared on both sides of the city gate hole, and they shot at everyone fiercely, and in a blink of an eye, all the soldiers fell in the city gate. Zhang Leigong, who was in the distance, watched his casualties getting bigger and bigger, and he panicked for a while.

"Zilong, seeing that the resistance of the defenders of Changping is so orderly, I think there must be a master in Changping City to guide you." Lu Zhi said to Zhao Yun, "Everything depends on you!" At this time, Zhao Yun was wearing a three-pronged hair purple and gold crown, wearing a beast face and swallowing head chain armor, holding a Fang Tian painting halberd and saluting Lu Zhi: "Don't worry, my lord, everything will be handed over!" ”
