Chapter 247: The Fujiao Army Advances Eastward
Zhang Jiao suppressed in the back, he kept coughing on his horse, although he was far away from the battlefield of the fight, he couldn't see the specific situation, but Huangfu Song's building car was very high, and he could see the building car!
When he saw the building car collapse, Zhang Jiao coughed loudly, covered his chest with one hand, and pointed to the direction of the building car with the other, his face was red and he couldn't speak, but his expression was anxious, obviously asking what was going on with the building car!
A giant Yellow Turban Army general said: "General Tiangong, the last general will go and take a look!" "Urging the horse to rush to the battlefield, to the side of the building car.
Zhang Jiao and his cronies and generals around him were all very nervous, they were all looking forward to killing Huangfu Song, but they couldn't believe that they would really be killed, they were all extremely poor people from the lowest level, in the past, high-ranking officials like Huangfu Song were unattainable in their hearts, and to be able to fight against such a big man, for them, it was already an unexpected event, if Huang Fu Song could be killed, it would be a miracle that I couldn't dream of, how I couldn't think of it!
After a while, the shouts came, and there was no need for the Yellow Turban General to run back to report, and the cheers of the Yellow Turban soldiers told them the result!
The cheers of the Yellow Turban soldiers on the other side of the building shook the earth, and they shouted: "Huangfu Song is dead, General Dog is dead, let's kill the leader of the Dog Officer Army!" ”
The Yellow Turban soldiers hate the government, and when they call the people in the government, they often have to add a dog word in front of them, the emperor is called the dog emperor, the minister is called the dog minister, and the general can only be the dog general!
Zhang Jiao's body shook, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Huangfu Song was killed? This old thief is finally dead, we win, we win! ”
The Yellow Turban soldiers all shouted, and the generals were excited, and the more they fought, the more courageous they became, and they rushed to kill the Han soldiers even more desperately; And the Han soldiers heard that Huangfu Song was dead, they turned their heads to look at the building car, and saw that the building car was actually upside down, it was obvious that the Yellow Turban soldiers were not lying, not bluffing, Huang Fu Song was really dead, the Han soldiers were suddenly in chaos, and the leading generals were dead, so what else did they fight, only to flee for their lives!
The Han soldiers had no fighting spirit, turned around and fled, the camp was gone, the tents were not wanted, the horses with horses fled, and those without horses could only scatter the girls, and the Han soldiers retreated to the west!
The Yellow Turban Army pursued the victory, followed the Han soldiers and slashed and killed, and chased them out for more than 20 miles in one go, beheading countless people, and then Zhang Bao took them and sang a triumphant song to return. It was only at this time that the Yellow Turban Brigade from the direction of Julu arrived, and under the command of Zhang Jiao, the Yellow Turban Soldiers rushed into the camp of the Han soldiers, and they were robbed on a first-come, first-served basis.
Fortunately, the Han soldiers have completely collapsed and fled, otherwise with the chaotic strength of the Yellow Turban Soldiers, the Han soldiers can defeat 300,000 Yellow Turban soldiers with just one backlash, and it will be their turn to chase the Yellow Turban soldiers and slash and kill!
The Zhang Jiao brothers had poor means to restrain the army, and they got such a big victory, they were all carried away by joy, and they didn't care about the Yellow Turban soldiers at all, and let their subordinates rob them indiscriminately, while the generals surrounded Zhang Jiao, exaggerated, and desperately touted it, saying that General Tiangong's strategy was really wonderful, and it only took one day to beat the officers and troops to the ground.
Not only did the generals think that the rebellion would be victorious, but even Zhang Jiao had this unrealistic idea, although he and Chen Sheng and Wu Guang did the same thing, but he didn't think that he would have the same fate as Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, he didn't even admire the overlord of Western Chu now, and directly imagined himself as Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, imagining that he might establish a dynasty, and he himself could become the emperor!
The Yellow Turban Army celebrated vigorously, celebrating for several days, from a military point of view, they missed the best opportunity to expand the results, but from the perspective of recruitment, the effect is excellent, once those who wavered, both hated the government, but did not dare to join the Yellow Turban Army The people and poor scholars, from this victory saw hope, and felt that following Zhang Jiao's rebellion was a promising cause, so they came to vote!
However, after a few years of hard work, the Yellow Turban Army actually expanded by another 100,000 people, and the size of the army expanded again, and people from all over the country were still coming!
Under Zhang Jiao's ecstasy, he ordered the whole army to march and attack westward to attack Luoyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty!
The official army was defeated, Huangfu Song died in battle, and the news that Yuan Shao did not know his life and death had already spread to Luoyang, Luoyang was shocked, this news was too huge, no one could hide it, not only He Jin was as anxious as a mad dog, but even Zhang Rang and other ten permanent servants were frightened!
In the internal suppression of the anti-thief war, since the Eastern Han Dynasty, there has never been such a huge loss, the leader of the Zuo Zhonglang will be beheaded, and the Yulin army led the troops of the Tiger Ben Zhonglang will not know where to be beaten, more than a hundred years of history of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there has never been such a big fiasco, the official army that went to suppress was beaten to the ground, only ran back to Luoyang a few thousand people, and the rest do not know where to go, the imperial court has no direct army to send, can only rely on reinforcements from all over the country!
Emperor Liu Hong can't care about having fun, if he continues to have fun, it is estimated that he will never have a chance to have fun again, the Yellow Turban soldiers have already waved west, and the Luoyang Dynasty is not safe!
In a panic, Liu Hong held a grand court meeting, he sat behind the dragon book case, slapped the table and said angrily: "He Jin, didn't you say that as long as you send Yuan Shao to fight, you will definitely be able to sweep away the Yellow Turban Thief?" Now, where did Yuan Shao flee to? Also, the Yellow Turban Thief now knows that the capital is empty, so he came with the anti-thief, what now? You go and stop them, you go and stop them! ”
Liu Hong is most afraid of trouble, he has no ambition to be the emperor, as long as he can eat, drink and have fun, and live this life well, but now the more he doesn't want trouble, the more trouble will find him, and it's not a small trouble, the thieves are about to hit Luoyang, what should he do? If he knew what to do, he wouldn't lose his temper!
He Jin went out of the court class hard, how could he think that Yuan Shao was so wasteful, he usually blew the cowhide super loudly, and said how powerful the trained recruits were, but he was beaten by Zhang Jiao in just one battle and couldn't find the north, if he could think of such a result, he couldn't recommend Yuan Shao to lead the troops if he was killed!
He Jin said: "Your Majesty, the minister has neglected, I don't want Yuan Shao to be so incompetent, please Your Majesty punish the minister's sin!" But he didn't wait for Liu Hong to say how damned he was, and he should be put in prison, so he only paused, and then hurriedly said: "But Your Majesty don't worry, although Huangfu Song and Yuan Shao were defeated, we still have other armies, and the divisions of King Qin from all over the country are coming one after another, especially Li Qin's Fujiao army, which has already arrived in Chang'an, and can come to the east without saying anything, as long as Li Qin arrives, the end of the Yellow Turban Thief will arrive!" ”
Liu Hong slapped his face and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, I still have Li Qin, Li Lang is the most capable of fighting, no one can beat him, as long as he comes, then the Yellow Turban Thief will be defeated by him." However, why didn't he come yet, didn't he arrive in Chang'an a long time ago? Who's that, who's coming, who's running back from Chang'an, King Qin......"
In a hurry, Liu Hong couldn't even think of Zhang Wen, the captain of Sili, who was screaming with a mouth!
Zhang Wen, as a lieutenant of Sili, is above Jiuqing, and he is definitely a first-class officer, but he does not serve in Beijing, so he has less opportunity to meet Liu Hong, but such a high-ranking official, Liu Hong didn't remember his name, which really embarrassed him!
Zhang Wen came out of the court with a wry smile on his face and said, "Your Majesty, the minister Zhang Wen is the one who came back from Chang'an to King Qin!" He was extremely dissatisfied with Liu Hong's attitude, but what could he do, he was the emperor, and he was just that!
Liu Hong sighed and said, "Yes, yes, it's you." Zhang Wen, I ask you, why did Li Lang arrive in Chang'an, but he didn't come to Luoyang for a long time, what is the reason, is it difficult for you? Tell me how hard you are for him! ”
Zhang Wen almost didn't cry, is there any mistake, who is embarrassed for whom, if it weren't for Li Qin's embarrassment for me, could I run from Chang'an to Luoyang, I really thought it was the king of Qin, I came to hide from the disaster!
But thinking so in his heart, how dare he say that. Zhang Wen said: "Your Majesty, it may be because Li Qin's troops are slowly assembled, coupled with the long distance, and the difficulty of supporting grain and grass, so he rested in Chang'an. What's more, Li Qin has a heavy army, even if the minister wants to be embarrassed, he has to think about the head of Xiang Shang, he kills people without blinking! ”
The words were extremely aggrieved, but inside and outside the words, he kept reminding the emperor and the Manchu Dynasty that Li Qin was not a good character, let him come to King Qin, to suppress the Yellow Turban thief, be careful to invite the gods to send the gods hard, and lure the wolf into the room, then if Li Qin doesn't leave, and doesn't return to Xiliang, everyone will be bad!
The ministers were all human spirits, and of course they understood the meaning of his words. It's a pity that Emperor Liu Hong is not too shrewd and preconceived, he not only thinks that Li Qin will fight again, but also is very loyal to him, so no matter how straightforward Zhang Wen is, he still hasn't heard the taste of inauthenticity.
Liu Hong said anxiously: "You are the captain of Sili, you don't provide Li Qin with food and grass in Chang'an, so that he can come in time to suppress the Yellow Turban Thief, but you came to Luoyang on your own initiative, but it's good that you came, but you can't fight the Yellow Turban Thief, but stay in the city and don't know what to say, you are derelict in your duties!" ”
Zhang Wen knelt down for Liu Hong with a plop, and he said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to mention the division of the tiger and wolf, rush to suppress the Yellow Turban thief, and ask for war, I hope Your Majesty will allow it!" "There's no way, when it comes to this, if he doesn't ask for war again, won't he become a greedy person who is afraid of death.
But as soon as Zhang Wen asked for battle, Liu Hong did not agree, he said: "The capital is empty, if you go out of the city, then who will protect me?" Go and suppress the Yellow Turban Thief, just leave it to Li Qin! ”
He turned his head and called Zhang Rang, and said, "Draft an order, send it to Li Qin, let him rush to the capital in three days, if he can't make it, I will punish him!" ”
Zhang Rangyi grinned, and he said: "Your Majesty, from Chang'an to Luoyang, how can you arrive within three days, then you can't run the horse to death?" Besides, the people sent to deliver the decree to Li Qin also need time on the road! ”
Liu Hong was furious, slapped the table, and said, "Where is there so much nonsense, even you don't listen to me?" When I say three days, it's three days! He thought about it, and felt that it was indeed a little difficult, so he said generously: "Today is not counted, it will be counted for three days from tomorrow!" ”
Zhang Rang thought to himself: "This is treating Li Qin as a god!" He didn't dare to say anything, so he hurriedly drafted a holy decree and asked someone to send it to Li Qin, forcing Li Qin to rush to Luoyang in three days!
The ministers in the court looked at each other, and they all thought in their hearts: "Let the Fujiao army come to the east, I really don't know the blessings and misfortunes!" If you compare the Fujiao Army with the Yellow Turban Thieves, it feels like the Fujiao Army is more dangerous! ”
