Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Two Thieves Settle the Plan

As soon as Chu Feiyan retreated, the Yellow Turban Army in the entire southern city could no longer withstand the fierce counterattack of the Han army. The Flying Bear Army is worthy of being the elite of Xiliang, although there are only five hundred people, but they are all brave, and under the fine iron spear, even the Yellow Turban Warriors, who are known as the elite of the Yellow Turbans, cannot match, so they can only retreat in embarrassment.

Dongcheng, which had Huaxiong in charge, fought the most fiercely after replenishing a thousand elite soldiers. The Yellow Turban Lux is extremely brave, but no matter how brave it is, it is difficult to resist the edge of Huaxiong's tiger sword, for two days in a row, they are all broken and sunk in the sand under the city of Xindu, in addition to dropping more than 20,000 corpses, there is no time to break through the defense of Huaxiong on the city wall, can only look at the city and sigh, in vain.

Xindu North Camp, the battalion of the Yellow Turban Marshal Zuo Colonel, there are also 100,000 troops stationed here, but after these two days of fierce fighting, there are only more than 80,000 people left in the 100,000 army at this time, and most of them are old and weak.

As night fell, Zuo Corrector and a few henchmen discussed a strategy to break the city, and continued the fierce attack for two consecutive days, so that Zuo School's already small number of young soldiers had already lost one-third.

"Dashuai, the villain has something important to report to Dashuai", a hurried Zuo Xiao's guard suddenly broke into the handsome tent, breaking everyone's heated discussion.

Colonel Zuo, who is in his thirties, is skinny and has a treacherous face. Hearing the words of the guard, Colonel Zuo said indifferently: "Speak."

But he didn't want to, after listening to Colonel Zuo's words, the guard looked at the seven or eight Qu handsome and young marshals present, and kept silent, with an anxious look on his face.

Colonel Zuo, who was looking at the map at the desk, waited for a while, and found that the guards did not speak, and couldn't help but be a little angry: "Damn, I don't even stop Lao Tzu's orders, I'm tired of it!" ”。 Just as he was about to open his mouth to reprimand, Colonel Zuo suddenly noticed that this person's expression was different, and he kept scanning the generals present.

After discovering this, Colonel Zuo understood a little in his heart, and said to the generals: "Let's disperse!" ”。

When everyone dispersed, the guard of the left colonel hurriedly said: "Huang Dashuai from Xiying is here, and he asked the villain to keep it secret."

As soon as he heard this, Colonel Zuo immediately understood in his heart. Visiting late at night, and letting it be kept secret, there's something going on here!

"Please"

Thinking of this, Colonel Zuo said softly. Not long after, Huang Long, dressed in a yellow cloth robe and smiling with a sneering face, entered the big tent.

"Hahaha, take the liberty of visiting. Brother Zuo, don't be weird! As soon as Huang Long entered the big tent, he said with a smile.

There is a way to reach out and not hit the smiling person, and Zuo Colonel also said with a fake smile: "Where is it, your brother Huang is willing to appreciate the light, it is the blessing of the brother!" Please take a seat."

As he spoke, Colonel Zuo let Huang Long sit on the left side, and he also sat on the top of the handsome seat, and then said: "Presumably, my brother came to visit late at night, there should be something important!" You and my brother, just speak out! ”。

"That being the case, then I won't hide it from my brother. Since the fierce battle for several days, most of the younger brother's headquarters have been lost, and I have made a proposal to General Tiangong today, postpone the siege of the city to accumulate strength, or retreat to the giant deer to connect the second general and the third general, or break the enemy's reinforcements first, and break the letter capital in Poxindu. As long as the reinforcements are cut off, the defenders of Xindu will definitely be in turmoil, and they will be able to take it lightly at that time. However, General Tiangong was bewitched by that bull's horn, not only did he not listen to the good words of the younger brother, but also reprimanded the younger brother and I and drove him out of the tent", Huang Long said with an indignant expression as if he was full of grievances.

"Fool you! also lost most of it, don't think Lao Tzu doesn't know, what you kid is best at is preserving your strength, and it's good to lose 5,000 people! Colonel Zuo was slandered in his heart, but his expression was very indignant, saying that he did not hide what happened to Huang Long.

"Brother, I am so angry, who made us now the subordinates of General Tiangong! Eat people's food, be controlled by people, and relax your heart! Colonel Zuo said comfortingly.

"Could it be that my brother really thinks that we can break through Xindu?" As soon as Huang Long heard Colonel Zuo's words, he immediately asked rhetorically.

When Zuo Colonel heard this, he was silent, but he thought about it carefully. In the past two days, the Han army threw soldiers into the city regardless of losses, and the equipment and materials to defend the city were like a desperate posture.

"I believe my brother can also see that the resistance of the officers and troops in the past two days has been extremely strong, and in just two days of fierce attack, our brothers' troops have suffered nearly 20,000 casualties! What does this mean? ”。 Huang Long saw Colonel Zuo pondering, and immediately spoke.

"The reinforcements of the official army are about to arrive, so the official army of Xindu will resist so desperately regardless of losses!" , Colonel Zuo is also a handsome, how can he be an ordinary man?

As soon as he heard this, Huang Long immediately agreed and said: "Yes, only if you hold on to hope, can the officers and soldiers fight hard." In my opinion, the reinforcements of the official army are not far away, and they will definitely arrive in two or three days at most. Looking at the formation of the official army of Xindu, I am afraid that the number of support soldiers is at least 30,000 or 50,000! ”。

Hearing this number, Colonel Zuo was also a little moved. Just because when the Yellow Turban Army had just revolted, it was the dog official named Lu Zhi in the Han Dynasty, with 50,000 horses, who beat himself and others so that he could only sit in a lonely city, and he didn't know when he would be killed.

Seeing that Colonel Zuo had already changed color, Huang Long smiled coldly and did not continue to speak. For a while, in the entire tent, except for the breathing of the two people, it was already so quiet that it could be heard.

I don't know how long it took, Colonel Zuo reacted, and hurriedly said to Huang Long: "Then let's hurry up and report to General Tiangong, so that General Tiangong can prepare early!" ”。 As he spoke, Colonel Zuo left his position and wanted to go out of the tent.

Huang Long sneered even more, and said fiercely: "If the elder brother wants to accompany Zhang Jiao to be buried under this Xindu City, then I will not accompany the little brother!" ”。 After saying that, Huang Long also got up and walked out.

Obviously, listening to Huang Long's words, he knew that he would definitely not tell Zhang Jiao. Not only that, but I'm afraid there will be other plans.

"What do you mean by this?" Colonel Zuo couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard Huang Long call General Tiangong by his name, and asked subconsciously.

"I'm not afraid to tell my brother that now the Han army is about to attack our army on two sides, and General Tiangong still has to insist on going his own way, listening to the bewitchment of that bull's horn, and ignoring the life and death of hundreds of thousands of troops. But I can't control what he Zhang Jiao does, but I have the lives of tens of thousands of brothers and the old and the young, but it is absolutely impossible to accompany Zhang Jiao to stay here and wait for death", Huang Long snorted in a low voice, and there was already a trace of determination in his words.

As soon as these words came out, Zuo Xiao was immediately taken aback, he could never have imagined that Huang Long was actually going to rebel. Although the Yellow Turban Army was originally a rebel in the eyes of the imperial court, there were still people in the rebel army who wanted to rebel, which made Colonel Zuo gasp and feel very funny.

"You're going to rebel!" Colonel Zuo shouted angrily.

"What about rebellion? He Zhang Jiao called to transfer troops to help the war, but in fact, he sent his cronies to the Naxi camp to monitor Yu me, he didn't care about our life or death, and he didn't trust me so much, why did I have to work for him Zhang Jiao? In my opinion, brother, it's better for you to make plans early, don't die when the time comes, you don't know how you died" Huang Long's words were sharp and sonorous, so that Huang Long couldn't help but be moved.

Huang Long said well, it can't help but be Huang Long's west camp, which is the north camp of his left colonel, and there are also more than 30,000 young and strong soldiers transferred from Zhang Jiao's tent, and these horses are Zhang Jiao's chess pieces that are actually monitored. As long as his Colonel Zuo dares to plot against him, then these 30,000 young soldiers can immediately take his Colonel Zuo's life.

Don't look at Colonel Zuo holding a large army, but in these armies, except for more than 10,000 young people and thousands of Yellow Turban wrestlers, the rest are old, weak, sick and disabled.

Thinking of Huanglong's words tonight, although there are a lot of great rebellious words, many of them are true. Thinking of this, Colonel Zuo couldn't help asking, "What is the virtuous brother going to do?" ”。

When Huang Long heard this, he was finally relieved. If he is the only one who defects, his strength is still very weak, and it is very likely that he will be surrounded and suppressed by the official army, and the whole army will be annihilated. But if you add the 20,000 horses under Colonel Zuo, it will be a different scene.

"Don't hide it from my brother, the younger brother has already discussed with several Qu Shuai under his account, and we have unanimously decided to go to Montenegro," Huang Long said.

"It's a good place to go to Montenegro, but our four big camps are interlocking and connected to each other. What to do then! The left school has been shaken, but there are still concerns.

Huang Long couldn't hear Colonel Zuo's concerns, and immediately said with a fierce expression: "The movement of the army will inevitably delay the speed, and we must travel lightly. Therefore, we can only take the young and strong soldiers, and a small amount of grain and grass, I am ready, as long as you nod your head, brother, we can start immediately! ”。

"How can the young soldiers be willing to follow us?" Colonel Zuo asked rhetorically.

When Huang Long heard this, he replied without thinking: "We only need to capture and kill the spies sent by Zhang Jiao in one fell swoop, and then use the name of Zhang Jiao to transfer young and strong soldiers to hurry." The men and horses of the two departments of you and me, the young and strong soldiers can reach 70,000 or 80,000 people, even if the official army is coming, we are not afraid."

Huang Long's words were uplifting, which made Zuo Xiao's heart settle. Secretly thought to himself: "Instead of sitting and waiting, it is better to give it a go." If you win, there is still a way to live, and if you lose, it is a big deal to hide in the mountains and forests and live the rest of your life." For his ability to escape, Colonel Zuo is still very confident.

Thinking of this, Colonel Zuo made up his mind and immediately said: "In this case, the elder brother will entrust his life to the hands of the virtuous brother."

It was only at this time that Huang Long's heart settled down. If it weren't for the fact that he was alone, Huang Long would definitely not have come to invite Zuo Colonel to go with him. He knew that this Colonel Zuo was notoriously cunning, known for his insidiousness and cunning.

It is said that Colonel Zuo used to be the little marshal under the next little Fang Qu Shuai in Julu County, because he could speak, he was very trusted by this Qu Shuai, and later took advantage of the opportunity of the official army to encircle and suppress the Yellow Turban Army, Colonel Zuo secretly assassinated this Qu Shuai, and he was crowned Qu Shuai.

If it weren't for the fear that Zhang Jiao would send troops to pursue and the officers and troops would advance and suppress it on a large scale, how could Huang Long be willing to conspire with such a person and the tiger? (To be continued)
