Chapter 215: The Yellow Turban Siege Says Guan Hai
Li Dao is dead! Die on a thousand cuts of his own choosing! And Li Dao's son Li Shi, nephews Li Xian and Li Li also followed in Li Dao's footsteps. Of course, Liu Zhang didn't take them to a late time, after all, Liu Zhang is not a person who loves to kill. As for Li Huan, he was scared to death, because Li Dao's death was so miserable, there was only a bunch of bones left!
Looking at the humanless Li Dao and Guo Yan, and watching Liu Zhang personally use the blood, head, and internal organs of Li Dao and Guo Yan to pay tribute to Liu Fan and Liu Dan, everyone felt a chill in their hearts. No one would have imagined that Liu Zhang, who is usually gentle and elegant, would have such a tyrannical side. Of course, it is this tyrannical side that makes Jia Xu, the old fox, convinced. In troubled times, only those who are ruthless enough are qualified to survive.
When everything was dull, Guo Jia and Jia Xu suggested to Liu Zhang that the administrative office be moved to Chang'an. How to say, Chang'an and Luoyang were once the imperial capitals of the Han Dynasty. The status of these two cities in the hearts of the people of Dahan is unparalleled! Although Liu Zhang agreed with Guo Jia and Jia Xu very much, he did not make a decision immediately, after all, Chang'an City was already dilapidated, and the people of Chang'an were about to become walking dead!
Speaking of the people of Chang'an, Guo Jia and Jia Xu are full of heaviness. Ten rooms and nine emptiness are no longer enough to describe the dilapidation of Chang'an! When Dong Zhuo was in power, he was just a chaotic soldier, and Li Dao and Guo Yan didn't think about military appearance and military discipline! In particular, Li Dao's final counterattack unexpectedly launched most of the people in Chang'an. There are countless people in Chang'an who died, starved to death, and died of exhaustion.
You know, Chang'an is also a metropolis. At its peak, Chang'an's population once exceeded one million, if not millions. But after Liu Zhang occupied Chang'an, he counted the people, and the population of the entire Chang'an was only tens of thousands, which can be said to be one in a hundred! Of course, there are also many people who ran away or hid in the mountains, but this cannot hide the dilapidation and withering of Chang'an. However, this also has an advantage, Chang'an without people can be tossed by Liu Zhang.
So, Liu Zhang ordered Huang Zhong to guard Hangu Pass, Guan Yu to guard Tong Pass, Gan Ning to guard Wuguan, and Zhao Yun to guard Chang'an. Of course, these are all temporary deployments, and with the courage of Zhao Yun and others, Liu Zhang is reluctant to let them be guards. As for Zhang Ji's command, except for the soldiers between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five, the other Liangzhou soldiers who were not old or overage were all in Tuntian outside Chang'an City.
Under the deployment of Guo Jia and Jia Xu, Chang'an began to be renovated, and Liu Zhang, as the lord, returned to Chengdu with Liu Mao. After returning to Chengdu, Liu Zhang asked the Mi family to contribute money to participate in the construction of Chang'an, and the condition offered by the Mi family was that after the construction of Chang'an was completed, a street of business space would be reserved for the Mi family in the most prosperous area of Chang'an.
Of course, the Mi family did not talk to Liu Zhang about conditions, but did not want Liu Zhang to owe the Mi family anything, at least not to let Liu Zhang feel indebted. Sometimes, if the emperor can't repay the kindness of his subordinates, he can only kill that subordinate, which is the so-called meritorious master. However, the construction of Chang'an is not enough just to help the Mi family, and Liu Zhang transferred Fa Zheng, Huang Quan, Wang Lei, Zhang Song, and Xi Zhicai from Xichuan to Chang'an. For a time, from Chang'an to Xichuan, there was a red and lively construction atmosphere everywhere.
Just when Liu Zhang was working construction, Beihai Kong Rong was sad, and the reason why he was sad was because Beihai City was surrounded by hundreds of thousands of yellow turban thieves! In Liu Zhang's eyes, hundreds of thousands of yellow scarves are nothing, even if they are millions, they are just a piece of cake, and it will be difficult to clean up at most. But Kong Rong doesn't have Liu Zhang's ability, he's just a talker.
"How this should be!" In the Beihai Taishou Mansion, Kong Rong stroked his forehead with his hand, looking distressed. And the people sitting next to him were also very depressed.
"Lord, go and move the rescuers!" Although Wu Anguo had one of his hands cut off by Lu Bu, Kong Rong did not dislike him and still let him command the troops in Beihai. Of course, there are also people who are not convinced, but even if it is Wu Anguo, who is one-handed, he is almost invincible in Beihai.
"Easier said than done!" Kong Rong said helplessly: "Don't say anything close, just say that in Qingzhou, there are no reinforcements to invite, do you want to ask Yuan Shao?" ”
"I can only beg Yuan Shao!" Shi Yi sighed, he didn't like Yuan Shao either, but now if the Yellow Turban thieves are allowed to enter the city, the unlucky ones will be the people of Hecheng.
"Lord, I know someone who may be able to help Lord!" Wang Xiu, who had repeatedly rescued Kong Rong from danger, spoke: "I once remembered that Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, who broke Huaxiong under the Tiger Prison, seemed to be stationed in the plains, if he was willing to come to help, the Lord of the Sure Protector would be safe and sound!" ”
"Alas!" Kong Rong sighed: "Whether it is Yuan Shao or Liu Bei, someone must be invited, who can get out of the hundreds of thousands of yellow turban thieves outside the city?" ”
"I can get out of here!" A man with a length of seven feet and seven inches, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and a beautiful beard walked in from outside the door, and it turned out to be Tai Shici, a young general under Kong Rong. Of course, Kong Rong's use of Tai Shi Ci is not because of his bravery, but because of his filial piety.
"Ziyi!" Kong Rong said with some displeasure: "There are hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban thieves outside the city, even if you are brave and unparalleled, how can you break through?" You are the only child in the family, and your mother has worked hard to raise you, how can you take the risk? ”
"Kong Beihai!" Tai Shi Ci half-knelt on the ground and said: "My lord treats my mother and son like a mountain, and now it is the time for my adult to live and die, and I am here because of my mother's order!" Even if you lose my life, my mother and son, there will be no complaints! ”
"Ziyi is really righteous!" Everyone under Kong Rong sighed in unison, and even Zong Bao, who usually looked down on Tai Shici, also showed a trace of admiration.
"Kong Beihai, without further ado, please write a letter, and I will immediately go to the plains to ask for reinforcements!" Tai Shici's face was resolute, which moved Kong Rong. Kong Rong immediately ordered someone to take out a pen, ink and cloth and write a letter of help by hand.
"Ziyi, no matter whether it works out or not, you must save your surname!" Looking at Tai Shici, Kong Rong hesitated. It's not that he doesn't believe in Tai Shi Ci, it's that he doesn't want Tai Shi Ci to take risks, after all, Tai Shi Ci is only in his early twenties.
"Don't worry!" Tai Shici took the letter and put it away closely, and strode out of the chamber.
At the gate of the city, the horses and weapons were ready, Tai Shici carried a gun on the horse, two iron halberds on his back, and dozens of small halberds like hidden weapons on his waist. If he and Dian Wei do it together, maybe some people think they are senior brothers!
A gap opened in the city gate, and Tai Shici fought out of the gap alone. The spear in his hand was like a silver python coming out of a hole, bringing up pieces of snowflakes, and it was like a big snake with a huge mouth open, devouring the life of the Yellow Turban Army.
"Shoot the arrows!" The yellow turban thief will not spare talents, if you dare to break through, he will dare to release arrows. Countless arrows, as if it were raining, came overwhelmingly, and although Tai Shici was outstanding in martial arts, he was still hit by the arrow. However, as long as you don't hit the vital point, it's not much of a problem, as long as you bandage it in time and don't bleed too much!
Tai Shi Ci is worthy of the fierce generals, and in the face of arrows like flying locusts, even if he has several arrows in his body, he does not flinch at all. Of course, it was a fluke that Tai Shi Ci was able to break out of the encirclement, because Guan Hai did not come forward. Otherwise, even if Guan Hai can't beat Tai Shici and drag him down, it's still okay. You must know that Tai Shici has been hit by an arrow, and after a long time, bleeding can kill him!
Why didn't Guan Hai come forward, didn't he hear the noise in the camp? Of course not! Because there was a guest in Guan Hai's army, a guest that Guan Hai had to receive.
"Lao Zhou, you really embarrassed me!" There were two people standing in Guan Hai's big tent of the Chinese army, and Guan Hai was sitting in the handsome position, revealing a wry smile.
"What is there to be embarrassed about! Even the great sages and mentors have chosen the champion Hou, are you still embarrassed? "It turned out that in the big tent of Guan Hai were Zhou Cang and Liao Hua under Liu Zhang, and these two people came to descend Guan Hai on Liu Zhang's order!
"Not embarrassed?" Guan Hai sighed: "Not to mention the placement of hundreds of thousands of yellow scarves under my command, let's just say that we are going to join the champion Hou, and we will pass through Jizhou or Yanzhou." Even if Cao Ying and Yuan Shao don't stop us, it will take a month to travel. With my current grain and grass, it is difficult to support it for seven days! ”
"This is easy, before we came, the military advisor had already ordered, let us borrow grain from Kong Rong, and then distribute the grain and grass, so that the yellow scarves under your command will carry the grain and grass into zero, and enter the state or the division!" Zhou Cang was reckless, Liao Hua was fine, and Guo Jia took a lot of effort in order to let them be able to say that they could lower the Guanhai.
"Are you Yuan Jian?" Guan Hai is one of Zhang Jiao's most trusted generals, and Liao Hua is Zhang Jiao's personal guard, Guan Hai and Liao Hua have met more than once. At that time, Liao Hua was still an eleven or twelve-year-old child!
"Big brother!" Liao Hua didn't speak, just to see if Guan Hai's mind had changed. Seeing that Guan Hai always cared about the Yellow Turbans, Liao Hua spoke.
Guan Hai sighed: "Even you have taken refuge in Liu Zhang, it seems that the great sage and good teacher did choose him!" In this case, as long as you borrow grain and grass, I will submit to the champion! ”
"Good! You will never regret your choice today! Do you know, the eldest lady is also with the champion Hou, and she is now the fourth lady of the champion Hou! Although Liu Zhang doesn't like to rank his wife, others don't think so. Starting from Cai Yan and Xiao Qiao, Zhang Ning happened to be the fourth to enter the scene, so Liu Zhang's subordinates called Zhang Ning the fourth lady!
"It's... The great sage and mentor actually entrusted the eldest lady to the champion Hou? No wonder Champion Hou is so powerful! Guan Hai's face was full of understanding.
You must know that although Zhang Ning did not participate in the Yellow Turban Road, Zhang Jiao still passed on "Taiping Technique" to her. Including Liu Zhang, no one knew that the soft and weak Zhang Ning had actually mastered the Dao technique, and she was still using the Dao technique to influence Liu Zhang. Otherwise, with Zuo Ci's cultivation, why did Liu Zhang only watch "Taiping Technique" for a few days to see through his tricks?
Of course, even if Liu Zhang knew that Zhang Ning knew Taoism, he would laugh it off at most. After all, these gods and ghosts, in Liu Zhang's view, are just tricks. As for cultivation, Liu Zhang definitely won't. Otherwise, Zhang Ning wouldn't have needed to influence him secretly. However, Zhang Ning didn't know that the reason why she was able to influence Liu Zhang was because Liu Zhang had practiced Taijiquan, and Taijiquan is the Taoist boxing method, which belongs to the same vein as "Taiping Yaoshu".
