Chapter Eighty-Five: General Tiangong

Dian Wei couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw that Dong Zhuo had broken through the reality of his own army in one fell swoop: "It seems that this kid is still a bit of a ghost!" ”。

Secretly, Dian Wei sneered, and then said: "Yes, compared to the 500,000 army of thieves, the strength of our army is not much. But it's still a little more than General Dong! I advise the general not to do that stupid thing." As he spoke, Dian Wei also pressed Dong Zhuo's shoulder a little harder, signaling Dong Zhuo to be careful of his own life.

If you say too much, you will lose, this is what Dian Wei secretly taught, so Dian Wei is very clever and stops. As for the rest, that's his Dong Zhuo's business.

Sure enough, when Dong Zhuo heard this, his heart was still a little shaken. Judging from the current situation, although this Liu Jin is just a pawn in Yanmen Pass. However, such a pawn is the general of the Ping Yan appointed by the Son of Heaven, the governor of Youzhou who is relied on by Liu Yan, the assassin of Youzhou, and the former Zongzheng Liu Yan. I am afraid that Liu Jin will be able to lead the army this time, and Liu Yu, the current Zongzheng of the court, also appreciates him a lot.

Otherwise, this person would not have been entrusted with the important task by the emperor to lead a large army to conquer the thief's first horn. All of this is enough to show that this person is extraordinary, or that there is a force behind him pushing him and climbing up step by step! I am afraid that the ultimate goal of this is to shepherd one side and serve one force in the DPRK and China to overpower the other two!

"That's it! Li Dao, Guo Yan, Niu Fu, Hua Xiong, each of you led 3,000 elite soldiers to quickly recruit and transfer oxen and horses, sulfur saltpeter and other things that cause fire" Dong Zhuo pondered for a long time before he made up his mind. Instead of waiting for the thieves to besiege the city, it is better to take a gamble.

The four of them were stunned for a moment, agreed in unison, turned around and left.

"Vulture, quickly send a message to the lord", Dian Wei saw that Dong Zhuo was soft, withdrew the iron halberd in his hand, and said to the vulture. However, he himself did not leave Dong Zhuo's side, and it was obvious that he could not take it lightly before the war was resolved.

"No", the vulture agreed, turned around and walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Hurrying all the way, we came to the city wall of the West Gate.

Bending his bow and arrows, he buckled three rockets with sulfur and fire oil attached to them, and the vulture mobilized all his strength and suddenly snapped the hair. The three rockets were like three meteors piercing the sky, soaring into the sky at the west gate of Xindu City, dazzling.

In a small forest outside the city, the hidden black tiger saw three meteors piercing the sky at a glance, and shouted excitedly: "Good!" General Dian succeeded. Bring the arrows".

After receiving the rocket handed by the squad soldier, the black tiger also quickly pulled the string, ignited the rocket, and violently stimulated. This rocket also soared into the air, cutting through the sky in an instant, which was very eye-catching.

"Quick, the whole army will immediately get on the horse and return to the camp to report to the lord!" The black tiger shouted, and dozens of black shadows appeared from the shadows. In the darkness, these people ghostly stepped onto the war horses that they had found out of nowhere, and quickly galloped away.

Although the four rockets were in the west, Chu Feiyan, the commander of the Nanying Canal, who was patrolling the camp, quickly discovered this situation.

Thinking of the few fine works killed tonight, and the playful expressions before they died, Chu Feiyan secretly said that it was not good, and said urgently: "Chu Er, hurry up and lead the cavalry to Xiyangpo to see if you can capture the fine work."

As soon as the person behind Chu Feiyan heard Qu Shuai's words, he immediately bowed down and replied, "No", and then turned around, it seemed that he had mobilized the cavalry.

"Tonight's incident is extremely unusual, there are three in the city and one outside the city, it seems that the official army is secretly communicating" Chu Feiyan said secretly, feeling that this matter is not trivial, and he must quickly report it to the great sage and good teacher.

The sound of horses' hooves rumbled, and Chu Feiyan quickly left the southern camp and came to the eastern camp where Zhang Jiao was stationed.

Dongying is stationed with 200,000 elite Yellow Turban Army, which is strong. At the same time, it was personally led by General Tiangong, so among the 200,000 Yellow Turban Army, there were as many as 50,000 Yellow Turban wrestlers, as well as the most elite Tiangong Guard under Zhang Jiao.

Dongying, inside Zhang Jiao's tent. Zhang Jiao had already rested early, but he was troubled by Dian Wei and others, plus he was older and his health was not good, so it was difficult to sleep.

Hearing that Chu Feiyan was coming, Zhang Jiao frowned, and said secretly in his heart: "This Chu Feiyan is the righteous son of Zhang Niujiao, the marshal of Nanying, who is proficient in the art of war and martial arts. ”。

Thinking of this, Zhang Jiao immediately got up from the bed and said loudly: "Let Chu Feiyan wait in the big tent", as he spoke, Zhang Jiao recruited attendants and served himself to dress.

It didn't take long for Zhang Jiao, dressed in a yellow Heavenly Master robe and wrapped in a yellow scarf on his head, to appear in the big tent. Seeing that Chu Feiyan was already waiting in the tent, he hurriedly asked, "Feiyan came here late at night, what is the matter?" ”。 There is a way to go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, Zhang Jiao still knows this.

"General Tiangong, there is a fine work that has infiltrated our camp tonight, and he has been killed and retreated by the last general. However, there were three rockets in Shicai City, and there was another one arrow in response from Xiyangpo. According to the general's guess, it must have been the commander of a large battalion who was negligent in his precautions and was secretly stolen by the camp."

Before Chu Feiyan finished speaking, Zhang Jiao's brows had already wrinkled into a mountain shape, and he immediately interrupted Zhang Yan's words and asked, "Have you ever captured one or two?" ”。

Chu Feiyan shook his head, sighed and said: "These fine works are very tough, they would rather die in battle than be captured, it seems that they should be dead soldiers." Seeing Zhang Jiao signaling himself to continue, Chu Feiyan paused, and said: "In the opinion of the last general, the commanders of each battalion should be quickly ordered to strictly inspect each battalion to see if there are any remnants of fine work. Moreover, since the official army has arrived, the main force of reinforcements must not be far away, so we should prepare early! ”。

Chu Feiyan's words were clear and clear, and Zhang Jiao couldn't help but praise them greatly: "Okay, well, Feiyan can have such insight, presumably your father-in-law must be very happy." So be it! Send scouts to investigate all over the country, and the scope will be expanded to twenty miles, and you must investigate it in strict detail, and you will be responsible for it! ”。

When Chu Feiyan heard this, she bowed down and replied sharply: "The last general will take the order!" Then he turned around and walked out of the big tent with Zhang Jiao.

After Chu Feiyan left, Zhang Jiao recalled Chu Feiyan's words, and also felt that the situation had changed greatly, since Bo Cai and Zhang Mancheng in the south were both killed in battle, the Dog Emperor was very likely to send elite soldiers to the north for reinforcements.

"Come on! It was rumored that the commanders of the battalions came to discuss the military situation! Zhang Jiao did not hide his negligence, and immediately commanded.

Since being defeated by Lu Zhi, Zhang Jiao has become a lot more cautious. If there were no officials and soldiers to destroy the Great Wall, I am afraid that I would still be trapped in the Giant Deer City now.

Zhang Jiao was very distressed for a few days about the death of Zhang Mancheng and Bo Cai's two beloved apprentices, but the achievements they made themselves very proud of as a master.

It didn't take long for Huang Long, the marshal of Xiying, Colonel Zuo, the marshal of Beiying, and Zhang Niujiao, the marshal of Nanying, to gather in Zhangjiao's tent.

"At the end, I will see the great sage and good teacher, may the great sage and good teacher be blessed with the sky, and the longevity will be with the sky!" , the three of Huanglong knelt on the ground together and paid homage to Zhang Jiao.

Zhang Jiao raised his hand and said softly: "All the great commanders, get up!" Please be seated". As he spoke, Zhang Jiao pointed to the three tables in the tent.

The three of Huanglong were not polite, so they took their own seats. I heard Zhang Niujiao say: "I don't know what is the important matter for the great sage and good teacher to summon me to come in the starry night?" ”。

Among these marshals, Zhang Jiao is the one who relies on Zhang Niujiao the most. If nothing else, just because Zhang Niujiao has excellent martial arts and outstanding ability to command troops. Compared with Bocai and Zhang Mancheng, who have died in battle, that is not far behind, in the Yellow Turban Sect, the three of them are called the three masters, and they are the people Zhang Jiao relies on the most.

"There is a small camp tonight, I don't know if the big camp was broken by the official army?" Zhang Jiao's face turned pale, and he looked at Huang Long directly.

Huang Long knew that tonight was the biggest movement in the western camp that belonged to his own town. "It seems that I can't hide it!" , Huang Long said secretly, then went out of the table, and knelt on the ground: "The last general didn't notice it for a while, it was taken by the officials and soldiers, and the last general deserved ten thousand deaths, and the crimes deserved ten thousand deaths!" The feeling of self-blame is beyond words, it is really sincere.

Seeing that Huang Long pleaded guilty, Zhang Jiao didn't want to severely punish his generals when the war was coming, causing people's minds to change. But he also had to make a show, and immediately changed color and became cold, and shouted: "Hmph! After the military council was dispersed, he led the army with thirty rods to set an example, and if he dared to commit it again, he would not be spared."

Huang Long secretly scolded Zhang Jiao in his heart for not being a thing, he followed him from birth to death, he didn't enjoy a good life for a few days, and he would have to pay thirty canes for a big fart.

However, he had something to say in his heart, but he couldn't show it, and immediately looked grateful as if he had been amnestied, and kowtowed again and again and said: "Thank you for the grace of the good teacher not to kill."

"Get up! Now that the official army has entered the city, presumably the main force of the official army reinforcements is not far from the letter. In the future, you must be cautious, and be sure to beware of the cavalry of the two official armies in the past two days from stealing the camp and robbing the village! ”。 Zhang Jiao thought about it and said sharply to everyone.

Zhang Niujiao and Colonel Zuo had just seen Huang Long receive a military staff, and at this time, where did they dare to say a word, and immediately said in unison: "The last general obeys the order!" ”。

Seeing his subordinate Qu Shuai's tame appearance, the worries in Zhang Jiao's heart dissipated a lot unconsciously. However, judging from the current situation, Xindu City is already like a fish in the throat, if it cannot take Xindu before the main force of the official army reinforcements arrives, then the Yellow Turban Army will inevitably fall into the front and rear attacks of the official army, and I am afraid that it will be dangerous at that time.

"I have ordered Chu Qushuai to send scouts to investigate the movements of the officers and soldiers, presumably there will be results in the next two days! However, now that the city of Xindu is like a fish in the throat, our army of 500,000 has been besieging the city for half a month, if we can't break the city before the reinforcements of the official army arrive, the situation is not in my favor! I wonder if you have any good ideas to teach me? Zhang Jiao asked with a frown.

But this is also what Zhang Niujiao and others are most worried about, Huang Long and Colonel Zuo are both brave husbands, and in terms of the art of war, it is far worse than Zhang Niujiao, where do you dare to say more. And Zhang Jiao also knew that it might be okay for these two people to charge into battle, but it was not okay to make suggestions, so he didn't count on them.

"Great sage and good teacher, after the battle of Julu, the official army was defeated and fled, and at this time, there were no more than 20,000 soldiers who could fight. For now, we can only take Xindu at all costs before the arrival of official and military reinforcements. Otherwise, once the two official armies are combined, the good situation created by General Digong and General Rengong will be gone forever, and then the Han Court will be able to calmly recruit and transfer troops and horses, and we will be in danger" Zhang Niujiao thought for a while, and then said.
