"This Lu Zhi Lao'er is too shameless!"

Standing on the tower of Guangzong City, Guo Tai, the yellow turban general who had gradually emerged, looked at the northern military camp that stretched for more than ten miles, and couldn't help but scold in a low voice.

It is no wonder that Guo Tai was indignant in his heart, because since they attacked the northern army camp at night, the northern army has changed its previous appearance of underestimating the enemy, and completely showed their Yellow Turban Army and even the world the invulnerability of the regular division of the Han Dynasty.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see clearly that the current northern army is planning to rely on a strong and powerful army to crush them little by little, and this kind of use of troops in yang conspiracy is more helpless and even desperate than a conspiracy.

[The gap between the strength and quality of the two sergeants is too great......]

Zhang Huang, who was also looking at the northern military camp in the distance, was silent, and sighed secretly in his heart.

If the Pingxiang Yellow Turban is compared to a young man with agility, then the Northern Army is undoubtedly a strong man with a strong physique. At first, the young man took advantage of the fact that the big man was napping the enemy and gave the latter a punch, which was considered to make the big man angry, so the big man came out with both fists, eager to kill the young man with two punches, but he didn't want the young man to take advantage of the gap before he could take advantage of the fact that he had not yet received the move, and slammed the strong man into a disgrace.

The problem is, now the half-sleepy man has been woken up, his hands are clenched into fists, either he doesn't make a move, or he punches the young man back again and again, and then doesn't give the latter a chance to sneak attack. And when the young man who was forced back was about to step forward again, the big man clenched his fist again, and hid it.

In this case, the young man did not dare to step forward at all, because he was afraid that he would go up and sneak attack and directly smash the big man's long-stored fist to death.

The only reason for this kind of picture is that the strength of the two is too far apart.

In this case, even Zhang Huang has no choice, although it is right to say that he is talented. However, some limitations make him at most good at adapting to situations on the battlefield, to put it bluntly, at most he is only good at tactics, and now in front of the Northern Army, whose strength is obviously higher than that of the Yellow Turbans in Pingxiang, the tactical advantage cannot open up the situation at all. Not to mention, Zhang Huang may not be able to overshadow Lu Zhi in terms of tactics every time.

[If there is Guo Fengxiao in ......]

Zhang Huang couldn't help but think of Guo Jia, a confidant he met at Yingchuan Xun Academy.

In his impression, in fact, he knows a lot of generals who are good at fighting, such as Sun Jian, Xu Kun, Zang Min, Guo Dian, etc., but to put it mildly, these generals are almost all stronger than "tactics" and "strategy", to put it bluntly. It is extremely good at winning a local war, but it may not always hit the enemy's vital point hard. This is the difference in vision.

As for people who are good at "strategy", Zhang Huang has not never encountered them, such as Shen Xing, the commander of the Huiji rebels who attacked Guangling, although this person was beaten by the then Yangzhou Taishou, that is, Zang Ba's uncle Zang Min, in terms of "tactics", and the 50,000 rebel army was almost wiped out. But what about "strategy"? Shen Xing deceived the entire Guangling so much that when everyone thought that the Guangling side would win, the Huiji rebel army took the opportunity to sneak attack the rear hinterland of Guangling County by sea. Directly led to the fall of most of Guangling County.

It is no exaggeration to say that if it weren't for Sun Jian's nephew Xu Kun leading Zhang Huang and a group of little guys to risk attacking the rebels' main camp, and Zhang Huang and the others somehow got the secret help of the mysterious cloaked man, maybe the whole battle situation would have been completely rewritten. couldn't wait for Sun Jian to lead the Red Silk Army and Zhang Huang later, and they smashed Huanglong to "kill" Xu Shao, the "emperor" of the Huiji rebels.

If Shen Ying is the first hero Zhang Huang has encountered who is stronger than "strategy", then Guo Jia, who can understand all the battle situations at that time with Zhang Huang and others in a few words, is understandably the "strategic" soldier.

Including Lu Zhi, the current coach of the Northern Army.

Maybe Lu Zhi is even inferior to Zhang Huang in terms of tactics and even impromptu response, but he has a very good grasp of strategy. Step by step, the camp gradually encroached on the sphere of influence of the Yellow Turbans in Pingxiang, forcing Zhang Huang, the Yellow Turban "thief commander" who had the courage to sneak attack the Northern Army twice, and now he did not dare to take a step beyond the Lei Chi.

And the reason why Zhang Huang thought of Guo Jia. That's because he thinks that if Guo Jia helps, he will be able to gain insight into the vital points of the Northern Army, whether it is the righteous way or the strange soldiers, he will not be as helpless as he is now, he can only passively defend and watch the Northern Army like a giant beast crush it step by step.

But when you think about it, it's just an extravagant hope. Because even though Guo Jia is willing to worship Zhang Huang as the main prince and help Zhang Huang work hard for his foundation, it does not mean that Guo Jia will be willing to give up his identity as a Confucian disciple and join the Yellow Turban as a thief. Regardless of the slogan of the Yellow Turban Army, the reputation and prestige of the people, for the world inherited by the Han Dynasty for 400 years, they are out-and-out rebels and thieves, which means that they are destined not to get the support of too many scholars.

And this is precisely the embarrassing situation of the Yellow Turban Army: they do not lack fierce generals who charge into battle, nor do they lack generals who are good at tactics who can win a battle, but they lack wise men who can look at the entire insurrectionary campaign from a strategic level. History has long proved that whether it is the three brothers of the Zhang family, or the Yingchuan Yellow Turban Qu Shuai Bocai who once defeated Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, or the Nanyang Yellow Turban Qu Shuai Zhang Mancheng who killed Nanyang Taishou and approached Si Li, or the two generations of Black Mountain Yellow Turban coaches Zhang Niujiao and Zhang Yan, they are all just generals who are good at tactics, and they are far from reaching the point of looking at the entire battle situation from the whole world.

"What's the situation going on everywhere?"

It may be that the Northern Army in front of him is too unsolvable, and Zhang Huang can't think of a way to crack it after racking his brains, so he asked his subordinates about the battle situation of several other Yellow Turbans in the world.

Although it is said that nominally their Jizhou Yellow Turbans are the "main", and the rest of the Yellow Turbans in various places are "Cong", at the moment when the "main army" cannot open up the situation, if the "army" has a brilliant record, it is not impossible to "join the army" to drive the "main army".

Hearing Zhang Huang's inquiry, Yang Feng, who was in charge of this matter, immediately replied, "The most powerful soldiers now should be the brothers in Yingchuan. …… Qu Shuaibo of the Yingchuan army had recently conquered Yangzhai and subsequently defeated the Han court army that counterattacked our army. ”

"Yang Zhai?" Zhang Huang was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise, "Bocai doesn't want to go to Yangguan?" ”

"Probably yes." Yang Feng nodded and said.

His words made Zhang Huang stunned, after all, the rear of Yangzhai is Yangguan, which is the closest shortcut to Sili Henan. But the problem is that He Jin, the general of the Han court, has already ordered people to send heavy troops to block several important counties and critical passes after Yangguan, making this route the most unlikely to enter Sili Henan. What makes Zhang Huang even more puzzled is that the historical Bocai obviously did not choose this route.

"Yangguan has been captured?" Zhang Huang asked in surprise.

"Not yet." Yang Feng shook his head, and replied according to the battle report he knew, "It was Zhu Jun, the general of the Han Dynasty, who guarded Yangguan, and Marshal Bocai Qu prepared a large number of well cars, and he almost conquered Yangguan at one point. But then he didn't expect Zhu Jun to lead a team of dead soldiers, and he took advantage of the night to kill the army of Bo Caiqu and burned almost all the wells and cars......"

"Huh?" Zhang Huang showed a hint of surprise on his face.

In the case of being completely suppressed, he dared to lead the dead soldiers to attack the enemy at night. That Zhu Jun's courage is not inferior to him, and he deserves to be a famous general of the imperial court!

"But Zhu Jun is not having a good time." Seeing Zhang Huang's surprised expression, Yang Feng didn't know what he had misunderstood, and hurriedly said, "Although Bo Cai Qu Shuai was attacked and lost his car, he almost killed that Zhu Jun. …… Just a little bit! was so frightened that Zhu Jun didn't dare to go back to Yangguan again, and went to Changshe to join Huangfu Song. ”

"Huh?" Zhang Huang was stunned again when he heard this, and asked in surprise. "Then Yangguan has been defeated?"

"I haven't ......" Yang Feng showed a little embarrassment on his face, and said in a sneer, "Although Zhu Jun ran away, Yangguan still has his son Zhu Hao and his deputy general, Sima Zhang Chao of other departments. These two people were defending Yangguan, and Bo Cai Qushuai lost the well car again, so he couldn't beat it down......"

"Oh......"

"However, Marshal Bocai then defeated the army of Chosha! …… What is the first general of the imperial court, Huangfu Song, and the second general Zhu Jun. was almost defeated by Bo Cai Qu Shuai. With a little longing and pride on his face, Yang Feng said with some pride, "After winning that counterattack battle." Although I don't know what the current battle situation is, but since Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun both joined forces and were defeated by Bocai Qushuai, I believe that the capture of Changshe is just around the corner. ”

"......" Zhang Huang looked at Yang Feng in surprise, and the latter's words made him feel a little shocked in his heart.

He originally thought that Bocai had chosen a march route that was very different from history, although he didn't know if it would be smooth in the future, but it was better than a big defeat to Huangfu Song in Changshe and directly bury the entire Yingchuan Yellow Turban. But what he didn't expect was that the world seemed to have played a joke on him, just because Bo Cai defeated the invading Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun's Changshe army in Yangzhai, Bo Cai actually changed his goal and attacked Changshe directly.

Although attacking Changshe is indeed a good way to bypass the steep pass of Yangguan, for some reason Zhang Huang always felt a little uneasy in his heart.

[The two famous generals of the imperial court, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun teamed up and failed miserably in the hands of Bocai's Fang Qushuai? These two guys directly ended the entire Yellow Turban Uprising! ]

Zhang Huang was shocked in his heart.

You must know that as far as he knows, Huangfu Song almost single-handedly destroyed seventy percent of the forces of the entire Yellow Turban Army, and the limelight completely overshadowed Sun Jian, Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun, Ding Yuan and others at the same time, not to mention Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others. Such a general, who could almost be said to have been born for war, was defeated miserably at the hands of Bocai?

[Not good, it's a trick to lure the enemy!] ]

Zhang Huang had a rather bad idea in his heart, although he couldn't understand why Huangfu Song wanted to lure Bocai's Yingchuan Yellow Turban to Changshe, but history has proved that this genius general born for war destroyed the entire Yingchuan Yellow Turban in Changshe, so as to force the loopholes in the layout of the Yellow Turban Army at that time, and used this loophole as a breakthrough to defeat the Dongjun Yellow Turban, Qingzhou Yellow Turban, and even the last Jizhou Yellow Turban all the way.

Thinking of this, Zhang Huang immediately said to Yang Feng, "Send a letter to Yingchuan immediately, and ask Bocai to continue attacking Yangguan!" ”

"Huh?" Yang Feng was stunned for a moment. You must know that Bocai has been destroyed by Zhu Jun, how can he attack Yangguan?

Zhang Huang, on the other hand, ignored this question, because in his opinion, even if Bo Cai re-ordered his subordinates to build the well chariot, thus delaying it for a month or even several months in vain, it would be better than him taking someone to the Changshe. Because, if Guangzong is regarded as the place where the Yellow Turbans of Jizhou were defeated, then Changshe is the burial place of the Yingchuan Yellow Turbans, and even the key point in the entire Yellow Turban Uprising process from prosperity to decline. It is no exaggeration to say. It was precisely because of Bocai's defeat that Zhang Mancheng's Nanyang Yellow Turban fell into an embarrassing situation of isolation and helplessness, and directly led to the annihilation of the entire army after being trapped for several months.

Yingchuan Yellow Turban and Nanyang Yellow Turban, these are two Yellow Turban Army that once pressed Sili Henan, their rout, so that the Han Dynasty completely got rid of the worries, can free up their hands to encircle and suppress the rest of the Yellow Turban Army in a relaxed mood, no longer the previous urgent situation of walking on thin ice.

It is no exaggeration to say that the rout of the Yingchuan Yellow Turban and the Nanyang Yellow Turban means that the Yellow Turban Army has broken through Luoyang. The hope of overthrowing the Han Dynasty and establishing a new dynasty has become an extravagant hope. After that, the remaining Yellow Turban Army has purely become the object of the powerful forces of all parties to gain military merit and mix with the top position. In this situation where the strategic level has failed, even the Jizhou Yellow Turban of the "main army" cannot lead the situation, not to mention that the Jizhou Yellow Turban was also ended by the ruthless man Huangfu Song.

[If the Yingchuan Yellow Turban does not die, can it still maintain the favorable situation that the Yingchuan Yellow Turban and the Nanyang Yellow Turban continue to press Sili Henan and the Han Dynasty?] ]

After the idea of assassinating Lu Zhi failed, another tempting thought jumped out of Zhang Huang's mind.

"Little Heavenly Master, the people from the 'two branches' have arrived." At this time, Han Xian, a subordinate general who came from a distance, conveyed a message to Zhang Huang.

"Really? …… Who's coming? Zhang Huang was shocked when he heard this. I can't care about thinking about Bocai.

Who are the 'two branches' in your path? That is the Black Mountain Yellow Turban led by Zhang Niujiao, who has left Jizhou Yellow Turban to set up another door, and the Anping State Yellow Turban led by Zhang Jiao's younger brother, Digong General Zhang Bao.

At the beginning, because Zhang Huang could not convince the public, Zhang Niujiao took the lead in running away with his henchmen, and then Zhang Bao also left because Zhang Huang had a grudge with him. The originally powerful Jizhou Yellow Turban was divided into three, so that it fell at an absolute disadvantage in front of Lu Zhi's northern army.

If he could, Zhang Huang didn't actually want to ask for help from these 'two teams' in a low voice, but he was facing Lu Zhi's pressing step by step. He didn't want the Jizhou Yellow Turban to be defeated in Guangzong, so he had to ask these two for help.

"From the north, it's Zhang Yan. ...... to the East It's the Digong General! ”

"......" Zhang Huang raised his eyebrows slightly.

Yellow Turbans in Montenegro to the north. Qu Shuai Zhang Niujiao would send Zhang Yan over to preside over this matter, which was not unexpected by Zhang Huang. After all, Zhang Yan is not only Zhang Niujiao's righteous son, but also the successor of the former with high hopes. The problem lies in Zhang Bao, the general of the local government, Zhang Huang originally thought that even if he asked Zhang Liang to send a letter to invite Zhang Bao, Zhang Bao would at most just not be able to erase the brotherhood with Zhang Liang, and just send someone to deal with it and it would be over. Unexpectedly, Zhang Bao actually brought someone here, which was even more crisp than Zhang Niujiao.

Thinking of this, Zhang Huang's steps towards the county capital in the city became faster and faster, because if he could negotiate this matter, prompt Zhang Niujiao and Zhang Bao to return, and make the Jizhou Yellow Turban, which had been divided before, unite into one again, then even if they faced the opposite Beizhonglang general Lu Zhi's northern army, there would still be a slight disadvantage, but they might be able to recover it by virtue of their numerical advantage. After all, it is said that Zhang Niujiao's Black Mountain Yellow Turban has grown to 100,000 people, and Zhang Bao has also formed an army of 50,000 or 60,000 people in Anping State.

With some excitement, Zhang Huang took Guo Tai, Han Xian, and Yang Feng to the county government, and as soon as he stepped into the mansion, he saw Zhang Yan, who had had a few faces, and several people gathered around Zhang Bao, the general of the local government, and the two sides talked about something with a smile. After Zhang Huang stepped into the mansion, the scene suddenly became silent, and the eyes of these people immediately fell on him.

Not to mention, dozens of eyes stared at him in unison, if it was Zhang Huang before the change, he might still be a little restrained, but after experiencing being stared at fiercely by tens of thousands of soldiers of the Northern Army on the battlefield, these dozens of eyes were at most slightly hostile and provocative, which was nothing in Zhang Huang's eyes.

Could it be that these dozens of slightly hostile and provocative gazes can still withstand the hateful eyes of tens of thousands of Northern soldiers who are eager to devour them alive?

"Everyone, don't come unharmed!"

Walking towards everyone unhurriedly, Zhang Huang hugged his fists and slowly said hello. His calmness made those Zhang Bao, Zhang Yan and others who had seen him stunned.

"Little Heavenly Master." Zhang Yan smiled and returned the salute with his fists, but his eyes were full of surprise.

You must know that when Zhang Liangchu pushed Zhang Huang to the position of the head of the Taiping Dao and the commander-in-chief of the Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Huang was still a little weak and short of breath when facing these old Taiping Dao disciples, and he always left room for speech, as if he was afraid of annoying them, therefore. At that time, Zhang Huang always seemed quite restrained in dealing with the world.

But at this time, Zhang Huang no longer had that feeling of restraint between his speech and demeanor, as if he was originally the head of the Taiping Dao Sect and the commander-in-chief of the Yellow Turban Army, and he had been sitting firmly for a long time.

To put it bluntly, Zhang Huang at this time has more momentum than before.

"Brother Yan, don't come unharmed."

Zhang Huang greeted Zhang Yan with a smile. After Zhang Yan returned alone to explain and apologize to Zhang Huang on behalf of Zhang Niujiao, Zhang Huang was full of affection for Zhang Yan, and even wanted to include Zhang Yan in his team if it was feasible. After all, Zhang Yan is also a hero of the Yellow Turban forces that is not inferior to Guo Tai in history. It's a pity that Zhang Yan is Zhang Niujiao's righteous son, unless Zhang Niujiao is willing to hand over his forces to Zhang Huang, otherwise, Zhang Yan, who is destined to inherit Zhang Niujiao's foundation, has almost no possibility of being taken under Zhang Huang's command, even if they both belong to the Yellow Turban forces.

"I can't afford to be a little heavenly master, you call 'Brother Yan'!" When Zhang Yan heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand, and immediately said with a smile, "Little Heavenly Master has really done some feats in Pingxiang." When my stepfather heard this, he was also dumbfounded and speechless for a long time......"

"Ahem!" There was a person behind Zhang Yan who hurriedly coughed to stop it. Zhang Huang also recognized this person, who was a fierce general in the Yellow Turban of Montenegro. Poison.

"In short, it just made my stepfather look sideways." Glancing at Yu Poison, Zhang Yan continued indifferently, "However, although my stepfather is convinced of the little heavenly master. But after all, it was a loss of face, after all, he didn't believe in the talent of the little heavenly master at the beginning, but now he is beating his mouth...... It's not. After reading the letter of the little heavenly master, he asked me to come over without saying a word. ”

Zhang Yan simply explained the reason why Zhang Niujiao did not come in person, and said it in a more humorous tone, not only did not fall into Zhang Niujiao's prestige at all, but also showed everyone that Zhang Niujiao was actually extremely worried about the future of the Jizhou Yellow Turban, and vaguely stated that all the previous actions were only worried that Zhang Huang could not shoulder the responsibility of the coach of the Jizhou Yellow Turban.

In this regard, Zhang Huang doesn't care, after all, he doesn't have any grudges with Zhang Niujiao, it's just distrust, and now, Zhang Niujiao can send Zhang Yan, which is obviously a kind move, and Zhang Huang naturally won't hold a grudge.

The question is......

Zhang Huang turned his head to Zhang Bao, the general who had been beaten by him at the beginning, even after a long time, he still looked at him with a strong hostile look, which made Zhang Huang's scalp tingle.

"General Digong......" Zhang Huang took the initiative to say hello to Zhang Bao.

"Hmm!" Zhang Bao replied proudly. This is still a face-saving thing, to be honest, Zhang Huang is really afraid that this guy will rush up and fight him because of the original grievances and deployment, after all, Zhang Huang almost beat Zhang Bao into a pig's face.

But it's strange to say, there is one thing that Zhang Huang has never understood, that is, Zhang Bao's strength.

As the younger brother of the great sage and mentor Zhang Jiao, Zhang Liang has long shown his strength that is not inferior to Zhang Zhen, even if the Heavenly Sword is restored, he can't help him. But Zhang Bao ...... As Zhang Jiao's other younger brother, and Zhang Liang's second brother, he was once beaten all over the ground by Zhang Huang, who didn't even take it seriously at the time, looking for teeth, which is simply incredible.

"What to see?!"

As if noticing Zhang Huang's strange eyes, Zhang Bao scolded with a thick neck, "If Lao Tzu really shows his real skills, this punch will directly smash your kid into pulp, do you believe it?!" ”

Zhang Huang was happy when he heard it.

It is not difficult to hear from Zhang Bao's words, he also has a few hidden hands, but Zhang Huang can't see it at all in martial arts, so there is no doubt that Zhang Bao must also know the Tao, but he doesn't know how to do it. However, seeing that even if this guy becomes a local general, he still looks like a ruffian, Zhang Huang is really not optimistic about this guy's strength.

Otherwise, how can there be a good saying, the more fierce the person is, the more ineffective he becomes?

Of course, it's not that Zhang Huang looks down on Zhang Bao's strength like this, the key is that he has heard the rumors. It is said that Zhang Bao, the general of the Yellow Turban, is good at refining an elixir that can greatly enhance people's strength, but this elixir is too domineering.

There is even a legend that Zhang Bao used this elixir to raise a group of fanatical believers as dead soldiers, called "Lux", all of them have the courage of ten thousand people, and I don't know if it is true or not.

However, after glancing at the tall entourage behind Zhang Bao, Zhang Huang was somewhat convinced. Because Zhang Bao's entourage swelled and bulged one by one, and the acquaintance seemed to be like a hard rock, which was very exaggerated. In terms of momentum, these entourages are also very heavy, giving people the illusion of being like a flood beast.

The only failure is that the eyes of these people look a little wooden, like marionettes, when Zhang Bao did not give an order, they just stood there sluggishly and woodenly, their expressions were tense, if it weren't for the vitality of the living people, Zhang Huang really doubted that this group of people was a zombie from the grave.

[Could it be that these are 'wrestlers'?] ]

After a cursory glance at the entourage, Zhang Huang didn't ask very interestingly, but nodded with a smile at Zhang Bao's words: "Believe, believe, believe whatever General Digong says." ”

"Really?" Zhang Bao looked at Zhang Huang suspiciously.

"Absolutely." Zhang Huang looked serious, and he didn't see any disobedience to his will: "The brave name of the Digong general, who doesn't know the brothers?" What is a punch that will be smashed into a pulp? …… But right now, our Jizhou Yellow Turban is facing danger, and I hope that General Digong will raise his noble hand, don't smash it into flesh, so that he can keep this useful body in the next place, and seek great causes for my Taiping Road and my Yellow Turban, can I? ”

Originally, it was just a joke by Zhang Huang, but he didn't want Zhang Bao to seem to take it seriously.

"Hmm......" I saw Zhang Bao frowning and looking at Zhang Huang, and after a few hesitations, he suddenly raised his hand and patted Zhang Huang's shoulder, nodded and said very sincerely, "Do a good job!" ”

[……]

Zhang Huang didn't mention how much he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, he wanted to laugh but was not funny, and after holding it for a long time, he finally held back this sentence: "Uh...... Good. ”

No wonder he couldn't smile bitterly, it was really that this Digong general was too "superb", and "superb" was so bad that Zhang Huang really couldn't find any words to describe it.

However, having said that, seeing that he was willing to put aside his previous prejudices with Zhang Huang and come to Guangzong under the persuasion of Zhang Liang's letter, it is not difficult to see that this guy attaches great importance to the inheritance left by his brother Zhang Jiao, otherwise, he would definitely not let go of his grievances with him because of Zhang Huang's exaggerated words, but ......

Zhang Huang can finally understand why the Yellow Turban Army collapsed immediately after Zhang Jiao's death, if Zhang Bao in history is also this kind of character.

With this kind of impulsive and heartless guy, even Zhang Liang can't lead the entire Yellow Turban Army.

[Really two......]

Zhang Huang said secretly in his heart.

In any case, regathering the Jizhou Yellow Turban is no longer just a luxury.

But then again, I knew that Zhang Bao was this kind of heartless guy, why did he Zhang Huang fight the Northern Army with absolute weakness? Wouldn't it be nice to say a few beautiful words early to scare this heartless guy?

Zhang Huang sincerely racked his brains and pondered for the previous case, and felt that it was not worth it. (To be continued......)
