At this moment, on the hall of Zhang Jiao, everyone was very silent, Zhang Jiao died, the official army attacked the city, these shadows were shrouded in the hearts of the Yellow Turban soldiers, only Zhang Cheng was very calm on the side.

"Report" a herald trotted in.

"What?" Zhang Liang asked, but there was a nervousness in his heart.

"General Chu Yan broke the official army at the head of the city and killed 5,000 enemies"

When everyone heard this, they were immediately overjoyed, and Zhang Liang also looked relieved, and then glanced at everyone and said: "Everyone, now that the official army is on the offensive, everyone hurry back to set up defenses, and don't leave your post without permission."

"Nuo" Everyone retreated, Zhang Cheng's face showed a hint of disappointment, he and these Qu Shuai quelled the rebellion, Chu Yan made such a great achievement, Zhang Liang didn't have a little reward, and just sent it away.

If there is no reward for merit and no punishment, I am afraid that this yellow scarf will not last for a few days.

As soon as Zhang Cheng and the others left, Zhang Liang immediately stood up from the big seat and walked into the back hall, which was Zhang Jiao's residence.

This made Zhang Liang's eyes a little confused.

"What's going on? How could the Nine Festivals not be here? Zhang Liang didn't believe in evil and started to look for it again, and three hours passed, but Zhang Liang still didn't find the Nine Sections.

The panting Zhang Liang sat in the inner hall of Zhang Jiao and began to think.

"Huh? Not true"

Zhang Liang then remembered that before his eldest brother died, the one who won the nine-section battle was the lord of the Yellow Heaven, and he was beside him, but he did not give him the nine-section battle, and he did not say that the throne would be passed on to him.

Thinking about it like this, Zhang Liang immediately realized that something was wrong, but then he thought about it, and he had no clue, because Zhang Bao had betrayed, and he was Zhang Jiao's only younger brother, could it be that these nine battles could still be taught to others?

Even if it is for others, to whom?

"Could it be Zhang Cheng?" Zhang Liang suddenly woke up, because Zhang Jiao had passed on the Taiping Technique to Zhang Cheng, you must know that this Taiping Technique was the capital of Zhang Jiao's rise in the early years, and it was also the highest doctrine of the Taiping Dao, he actually gave it to Zhang Cheng, thinking of this, Zhang Liang's eyes flashed with resentment.

This is just his speculation, but it makes Zhang Liang's heart uneasy, on the surface, now the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai respects him as the master, if the Nine Sections Battle appears, it will have a serious impact on his hegemony.

"General, according to the Tanmalai report, the reinforcements of the official army have arrived, and the imperial court ordered Cao Cao, the captain of the cavalry, to lead 30,000 troops to come to the aid, and at the same time brought grain, grass and ordnance.

This Qu Shuai's name is Pei Yuanshao is Zhang Liang's confidant, since Zhang Liang raised his army, he has followed Zhang Liang, but he has some knowledge, and Zhang Liang usually discusses with him when he has something.

"Oh" Zhang Liang listened, slightly stunned, his eyes were cloudy, in fact, Zhang Liang's heart was also very difficult, now the nine sections of the battle is mostly in Zhang Cheng's hands, but now Zhang Cheng first made a miraculous feat, broke Zhang Bao's sneak attack, this time it is to quell the rebellion, in the Yellow Turban Army has a high prestige, if he moves Zhang Cheng now, I am afraid that the Yellow Turban Army will be disheartened, and there is only one way to defeat the official army.

Zhang Liang ran out of ideas for a while.

"The general is worried about the whereabouts of these nine battles?" Pei Yuanshao asked.

"Exactly, what do you have to do?"

"Does the general have a clue in his mind?" Pei Yuanshao asked again.

"Mostly in that Zhang Cheng's hands"

"Then why didn't the general let Zhang Cheng guard the south gate? Let him fight with the officers and soldiers, whether he wins or loses, it is a good thing for the general," Pei Yuanshao said with a smile.

If Zhang Cheng was here, he would definitely be surprised, in history, this Pei Yuanshao was just a little person who liked to steal people, but he didn't expect to have such knowledge.

Zhang Cheng won, the credit is his, Zhang Cheng lost, and the influence of Zhang Cheng dissipated, who would respect a person who has been defeated repeatedly to be the lord of the Yellow Sky?

"Okay, that's it, now the order is given, so that Zhang will become the commander of the South Gate, in charge of the attack and defense of the South Gate"

"No" Pei Yuanshao agreed, and then asked: "General, now about the death of General Tiangong"

When Zhang Liang heard this, his face suddenly changed, his mind had always been on the Nine Sections Battle, and he had never thought about the most important thing at the moment, which was Zhang Jiao's death.

As the belief of the Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Jiao's status is undoubtedly the highest, even if the Yellow Turban Army is on the verge of despair, as long as Zhang Jiao is there, it can make the three armies one mind, now Zhang Jiao is gone, once the news spreads, the Yellow Turban Army is bound to be in chaos, and when the time comes, the official army will take advantage of the situation to attack, Zhang Liang is a little unimaginable.

"Do you have a solution?"

"No," Pei Yuanshao shook his head and said.

Zhang Liang's heart tightened, and he was a little overwhelmed. Now the form is getting more and more complicated, and it can't be concealed, and every moment you wait, there is more danger.

"General, why don't you ask Zhang Cheng, he may have a way"

"Huh? You have a point."

“”

After Zhang Cheng returned to his big tent, he immediately ordered the left and right sides to be vigilant, and no one was allowed to approach, and he carefully took out the wooden box that Zhang Jiao had given him, and there was a gap at the bottom, and it was the Nine Sections Battle.

Zhang Cheng's heart was excited, and at the same time a little nervous, Zhang Jiao had already said before leaving, the person who won the nine-section battle would be the lord of the Yellow Sky, but now no one knew that the nine-section battle was in his hands, and Zhang Cheng was not so stupid.

A nine-section battle alone can't bring down Zhang Liang at all, and there are still officials and soldiers outside, and once Zhang Liang can't find the nine-section battle, he will definitely be suspicious of him.

"Deputy marshal, Chu Yanqu is here"

"Oh?" Zhang Cheng was stunned, his eyes were cloudy, for Zhang Yan, the historical record is that he was a black mountain thief, and later descended to Cao Cao, and he didn't know much about his personality at all, but Zhang Cheng urgently needed an ally now.

"Please"

"Second brother, this time I have seen your ability, that Cao Cao was planted in your hands as soon as he came"

"Big brother, who did you just say? Cao Cao? Zhang Cheng was suddenly shocked.

"Yes, it's Cao Cao, sent reinforcements by the imperial court, many Qu Shuai before the Yellow Turban have suffered his losses, but I didn't expect to be cleaned up by you as soon as I came.

Zhang Cheng was nervous in his heart, a little afraid, this is Cao Cao, the later lord of Cao Wei, rose in the Central Plains where the heroes rose together, defeated Yuan Shu, killed Zhang Yang, and Lu Bu, and finally dominated the Central Plains.

Now this man has become his opponent!

Chapter 15: The Lord of the Yellow Heavens

The form has become more and more complicated, Zhang Liang is difficult to deal with, Cao Cao outside the city is even more difficult to deal with, Zhang Cheng is caught in the middle, not only to face external enemies, but also to guard against internal troubles, now Zhang Cheng really can't see hope, and finally looks at Chu Yan.

"Big brother, can I trust you?" Zhang Cheng asked.

"What did the second brother say? You and my brother have sworn a blood oath, how can you believe it? Chu Yan said a little strangely.

When Zhang Cheng heard this, he didn't answer, and now at this time, every step he took forward was like walking on thin ice, and there was no other choice at all.

Zhang Cheng took out the wooden box, then turned it over, and took out nine turquoise tubes, which were skillfully connected together.

Chu Yan's mouth opened slightly, her complexion changed greatly, and then she exclaimed: "This is a nine-section battle? ”

"Yes, eldest brother, before General Tiangong left, he handed over these nine battles to me along with the Taiping Technique."

Zhang Cheng's words were very calm, but a monstrous wave surged out in Chu Yan's heart, Lord of the Yellow Heavens? Unexpectedly, in the end, Zhang Jiao actually handed over Huang Tian's scepter to Zhang Cheng.

calmed down the excitement in his heart, Chu Yan sighed: "Although General Tiangong gave you the supreme scepter of Huang Tian, he also gave you a huge burden, the current Huang Tian, internal and external troubles, is about to be wiped out, let you reverse the situation, it is tantamount to a fool's dream"

Seeing that Chu Yan didn't mean to turn his face and snatch, Zhang Cheng put down slightly in his heart, and then said: "Big brother, this Yellow Sky is now bound to lose, only by saving strength and waiting for the opportunity, I believe that something will always be done."

"Second brother, do you really have such confidence? At the beginning, General Tiangong swept through Bazhou, but now it has only been eight months and he has been defeated so much."

"No, there is still hope in the Yellow Sky, although the Yellow Turban soldiers in the world have been scattered, there are still nearly a million people, but now that the official army has won a big victory, they are all forbearing"

Zhang Cheng's words are well-founded, after the death of Zhang Jiao in history, the Yellow Turban soldiers in the world still revolted one after another, there were hundreds of thousands of people in Yanzhou alone, and they were later exterminated by Cao Cao, until Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, there were still many Yellow Turban troops in the Central Plains, which can be seen the depth of the Yellow Turban heritage.

"Now the Han people are all concentrating on dealing with the Yellow Turban, this situation can be imagined, if we can save our strength and wait for the comeback, there may not be no hope at that time, but now all this is just empty talk" Zhang Cheng sighed.

"You mean Zhang Liang?"

"Yes, if I can't bring down Zhang Liang, it will always be difficult for me to do anything"

Zhang Cheng felt very bad in his heart, he was originally a nobody, but now he was pushed to the front of the stage, and he wanted to be the enemy of the entire Han Dynasty, Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and what about him? It is necessary to blackmail the thieves to level the world, otherwise, there is only a dead end.

Although Zhang Cheng was reluctant to take this road, he was forced to this road step by step, and Zhang Cheng's heart burned with blood.

Since I have chosen, I have to go to the end, the road ahead is dark, and I am willing to wait for the dawn alone!

Thinking of this, Zhang Cheng was settled.

"Do you have a solution?"

"Yes, but right now, what I want is to build prestige"

“”

Just as the two were talking, the soldiers outside the tent trotted in.

"Qu Shuai, Deputy Marshal, General Rengong is invited"

Chu Yan and Zhang Cheng immediately rushed towards Zhang Jiao's mansion, which is now under martial law inside and outside, and the people on the big seat in the middle have also changed from Zhang Jiao to Zhang Liang.

"Meet the General Rengong" The two saluted.

"You don't have to be polite" Zhang Liang glanced at Zhang Cheng, and then said: "The reason why I invite you two here now is to discuss something about my eldest brother's westward going."

"Oh? I don't know what General Rengong is going to do," Chu Yan said a little strangely.

"Presumably the two of you also know that General Tiangong is the lord of the Yellow Sky and the pillar of our army, I am afraid that this matter will shake the foundation of our army, plus there are external officials and soldiers eyeing each other, so there is no countermeasure for a while, I heard that the eldest brother asked Deputy Marshal Zhang several times before his death, so Zhang Liang also wanted to come and ask Deputy Marshal Zhang today."

When Zhang Cheng heard this, he immediately felt a little funny, and only now did he remember to deal with the impact of Zhang Jiao's death, what did he do before?

But this gave Zhang Cheng a chance.

"General Rengong rest assured, as long as"

The big village outside the city, the big tent of Huangfu Song.

Huang Fu Song and Cao Cao sat opposite each other, and Huang Fu Song's face was melancholy.

"Meng De, now that this Yellow Turban thief is blindly defending, our army has lost the opportunity to break the city twice, what should we do now?"

Cao Cao still had a smile on his face, without the slightest decadence of Huangfu Song, and then said with a smile: "The old general doesn't have to worry, now this moth thief is at the end of the road, it's just a dying struggle, the front turn that Zhang Bao has sent information, Yan Zhang Jiao has run out of oil, and as soon as this horn dies, these moth thieves will naturally be in turmoil and collapse without a fight."

When Huangfu Song heard this, his face improved a lot, but he was still a little worried and said: "But recently, this yellow turban thief is a little different from the past, and he seems to be a lot smarter."

"Oh?" Cao Cao's face perked, and then said: "Don't say it, the old general, I forgot, who saw through our plan last time?" ”

"It is a person named Zhang Cheng, it is said that he was just a small elder before, and then he was appreciated by Zhang Jiao, according to Zhang Bao, this son is only fifteen years old, and his parents died since he was a child, but he didn't expect to have such knowledge" Huangfu Song sighed.

"Don't the old general think that this is the time to create heroes? If there is no Yellow Turban Rebellion, my Cao Cao is just a northern comfort, and the old general is just a northern guard, but now he can hold a male soldier, and the eldest husband was born in troubled times, which is really a blessing."

When Huangfu Song heard this, his face was suddenly moved, and he looked at Cao Cao with some surprise and said: "The yellow scarf is chaotic and the lives are ruined, in Meng De's opinion, it is still a fortunate thing?" ”

"Without me, Cao Cao, the world will still be chaotic, without the yellow scarf, there will be others who will rise up, not you and I can change, now since we are born in troubled times, why not make contributions?"

"Meng De's ambition, the old man admires" Huangfu Song hugged his fists, and then said: "But now that this achievement is in front of you, I don't know if Meng De has a strategy to break the enemy?" ”

"For today's plan, I'm afraid I have to wait" Cao Cao was also a little embarrassed.

"Oh? So how much grain and grass did Meng De bring this time? How many days is it available? ”

Huangfu Song's words were held back for a long time, and when Cao Cao led an army of 30,000 to arrive with grain and grass, he was overjoyed, but a few days passed, and the grain and grass brought by Cao Cao were never taken out, which made him a little strange.

"Now I don't hide it from the old general, Cao didn't bring grain and grass this time, and the car was just filled with sand."

"What" Huangfu Song was shocked when he heard it.
