Chapter 22: Chaos

At this moment, a herald walked in, came to Huang Fu Song's ear and whispered a few words, and Huang Fu Song was shocked when he heard it.

"Meng De, good news, that Zhang Liang was jealous of his ability and turned Zhang Cheng away, and now that Zhang Cheng has become a lost dog," Huangfu Song said excitedly.

"Oh?" Cao Cao's eyes suddenly flashed with a gleam, and then said: "Old general, the destruction of the enemy is just around the corner, now that the morale of the Yellow Turbans is low, and our army is newly defeated, they will definitely relax their vigilance, and they will attack the city tonight, and they will definitely be able to win a big victory."

"Yes, how about you lead the troops this time?" Huangfu Song asked.

"No, Zhang Liang is a disease of scabies, and that Zhang Cheng is a big henchman, I want to hunt down Zhang Cheng"

"But now there are not many of our troops"

Huang Fu Song's face was embarrassed, before Huang Fu Song had an army of 100,000 under his account, after being killed by Zhang Cheng, there were only more than 60,000 people left, and now there are still more than 100,000 yellow turbans in the city, Huang Fu Song has already felt that he is short of manpower, and if he divides Cao Cao's troops, he will feel even more embarrassed.

"The old general only needs to give me the zero number of the 60,000 troops, and my brother Cao Ren and I will take Zhang Cheng's head."

"Okay, Meng De is bold and skips people, in this case, I will give you another 5,000 troops"

“”

Cao Cao and Cao Ren led an army of 5,000 and chased them all the way west.

However, it was said that Zhang Cheng and Chu Yan led the army to the west, with 50,000 people, covering the sky and the sun.

"Second brother, a hundred miles ahead, you will reach Taihang Mountain, this Taihang Mountain stretches for three thousand miles from north to south, during which the ravines are connected, and the valleys are innumerable, which can raise millions of people" Chu Yan said proudly.

For Taihang Mountain, Zhang Cheng still has some understanding, this Taihang Mountain is a paradise for bandits in ancient and modern times, and the strong strategic depth here makes many people blush.

Historically, Yuan Shao unified Hebei, with the power of the four states, he could almost sweep the world, but he was helpless in the face of the black mountain thieves hiding in the Taihang Mountain.

Its strength can be seen, but Zhang Cheng also has a lot of worries in his heart, Zhang Niujiao is not a pure Yellow Turban supporter, but just hangs a Qu Shuai name, and Chu Yan is Zhang Niujiao's righteous son, can he really make a difference?

However, fortunately, Zhang Cheng knew that Zhang Niujiao would not live long at all, and it would be up to him, the eldest brother, when the time came.

"Presumably my uncle must be an amazing hero" Zhang Cheng deliberately sighed, wanting to probe Chu Yan's tone.

"Although the father-in-law is a little stubborn, he has always rewarded and punished clearly"

Although it was only a short sentence, Zhang Cheng could hear that this Zhang Jiao was a little conceited, but he had a set of leading troops to fight.

"I have ordered someone to send a letter to my father-in-law as soon as possible, and I think it will not be long before someone will come to answer us, and we will not have much food and grass left."

"Oh" In fact, Zhang Cheng's heart is very clear, 50,000 mouths, his grain and grass have actually been used up, but fortunately, it is not far from Taihang Mountain, but today's lunch has not yet landed.

"Qu Shuai, there is Zhao Guo in front, or we will rob Zhao Guo's official mansion" Hua Yu said cautiously.

When he said this, the pro-soldiers on Zhang Cheng's side all had bright eyes.

Robbery, which has existed since ancient times, is a temptation that is difficult to refuse for anyone, let alone in this troubled world.

"Second brother, what do you think?" Chu Yan finally asked Zhang Cheng what he meant.

"Did we rob like this before?" Zhang Cheng said a little strangely.

"That's not it, Qu Shuai, before you came, we all robbed three states and dozens of government yamen"

This guy talked endlessly for a long time, Zhang Cheng understood a little, and felt that these guys were addicted to robbery.

"But this Zhao State is one of the eight counties of Jizhou, and the city is high and wide, so can't we attack the city?" Zhang Cheng said a little strangely.

"No, Qu Shuai, we used to go to the next stop in the city, and those corrupt officials were scared and opened the city gate."

When Zhang Cheng heard this, it turned out to be like this, thinking about it, there are only a few thousand defenders in a county, and in the face of his army of tens of thousands, where can he still have the heart to defend the city?

The meal must be eaten, and Zhang Cheng is also worried that the officials and troops will catch up.

"Let's go, let's take a look" Zhang Cheng finally decided to 'rob', anyway, these corrupt officials and corrupt officials persecute the people on weekdays, so they go to grab a handful first, and if there is extra food, it can be distributed to the people.

When he thought of the word "people", Zhang Cheng suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he didn't seem to have seen a single person along the way.

You must know that this is Jizhou, the eight counties of Jizhou, it is the richest state in Dahan, with a population of millions, why don't you even see a figure now?

Although it may be afraid of these armies of themselves, it can't be like this, right?

When they came to the gate of the city, the officers and soldiers in the city were so frightened that they were colorless.

Zhang Cheng stepped forward immediately, and then shouted: "I am Zhang Cheng, the commander of the Yellow Turban Canal, passing by your land today, there is a lack of grain and grass in the army, and I want to borrow some from your county guard, I don't know what I think?" ”

What Zhang Cheng said was still very polite.

A guard at the head of the city, his legs trembled with fright, and he secretly shouted bad luck in his heart, in fact, they had already gotten a tip, saying that there was a yellow turban thief coming to this side, but there was no crime all the way, why did they come to borrow food when they arrived at the head of their own city?

This borrowing grain is said to be borrowing, but in fact it is robbing.

"Wait a minute, I'll go and report to the county guard."

The guards hurried to go, and waited for half an hour to return, and as soon as they returned, they ordered the city gate to be opened.

As soon as the city gate opened, Zhang Cheng and Chu Yan's subordinates were immediately overjoyed, and they couldn't wait to rush into Cheng immediately.

"Second brother, take the granary and leave quickly, so as not to have too many dreams at night" Chu Yan reminded him, his nature is very cautious.

"Know" Zhang Cheng agreed, and then led the army into the city.

The city was in a depression, and many ragged beggars leaned against the corners, turning a blind eye to Zhang Cheng's army.

And Zhang Cheng fixed his eyes on a fat man not far away, this fat man was white and tender, although he was wearing dirty and torn clothes, but it gave people an extraordinary feeling, the fat man seemed to notice Zhang Cheng's gaze, and was a little flustered.

"Come on, catch that fat man for me" Zhang Cheng ordered, and several of his own soldiers immediately rushed forward and arrested the fat man.

"Hey, why are you arresting people? Wronged," the fat man immediately shouted.

"You're the county guard, aren't you?" Zhang Cheng said with a smile.

When the fat man heard this, his face suddenly changed greatly!
