In the first half of March of the seventh year of Guanghe, just after the spring season, the people everywhere had begun to be busy with the new year's agricultural plans, but in Pingxiang County, the fertile land after the snow melted was trampled by groups of soldiers armed with guns and spears, and the hot blood seeped into the soil, making the wildflowers that could be seen everywhere bloom extremely brightly.

"Woo-woo! Woo-woo! Woo-woo! ”

"Boom! Knock knock! Boom! Knock knock! ”

First, a trumpet sounded, followed by a thunderous drum, and a large number of Julu County soldiers shouted while charging, slashing their swords at the enemy, stabbing the spears in their hands at the enemy, and stabbing at the "rebellion" with yellow scarves on the opposite side, the Yellow Turban Army!

"......" is wearing armor, holding an iron spear, and has the name of [Binding Tiger Taishou] Julu Taishou Guo Dian straddles the war horse and looks at the entire battlefield, his face as resolute as a knife is full of prudence.

Beside him, the general Wang Shen didn't seem to notice the solemn look on the face of the main general, and after paying attention to the battle situation on the battlefield, he couldn't help but clench his fists and congratulate, "My lord, the half-moon training has been quite effective, you see, those yellow turban thieves are not our army's opponents at all!" ”

Guo Dian didn't say a word.

Half a month ago, because of a defeat at the hands of Zhang Huang, Guo Dian led the remnants of the army to return to Julu County, and then reorganized and drilled the team under his command.

The imperial court decree stipulates that except for the northern and southern armies directly under the central government, the local government is not allowed to build troops privately, and only during the period of suppressing bandits and countering rebellions, the local state and county guards are allowed to have troops for a short time, which is an express provision of the imperial court in order to ensure the centralized system.

Therefore, the army when Guo Dian led the army to conquer Zhang Huang the previous time was not so much an army, but in fact it was just a county soldier who was temporarily transferred from various counties in Julu County, which belonged to a joint suppression of thieves and could not be called an army in the real sense, and the troops were still led by the captains of their respective counties, so it was inevitable that several county lieutenants could not advance and retreat together. As a result, Zhang Huang and Guo Tai led a small army at that time, and easily interspersed Guo Dian's army, threatening Guo Dian's army's own formation, making Guo Dianmeng a defeat.

After realizing this, Guo Dian broke up the original team of his soldiers, and then recruited some village warriors to make up an army of 2,000 people. In accordance with the laws of the imperial court, the local county guards were appointed by themselves in wartime with the rank of lieutenant, and could command the army of one [department], that is, 2,500 men. And Guo Dian has not yet obtained the permission of the imperial court because of his own appointment of military positions. He did not dare to rashly build an army with [Ministry] as a unit, so he reduced one [Qu] and created only four Qu troops, that is, 2,000 men.

Although this is only a temporary general, the rank is not even a general, but this is already a military position, and it has the authority to lead the army no less than Dubo. This is the product of Guo Dian being forced to compromise with the imperial court's decrees, after all, even he has not been allowed to build an army by the imperial court, even if the situation is special, how can he be qualified to seal the generals under his command?

Generally. Don't look at Guo Dianling's troops are less than last time, but after rectification and drills, the current army of 2,000 troops under his command is definitely much stronger than the previous 3,000 ragtag army temporarily composed of local county guards. Today's Guo Dian can be regarded as a general in the true sense of the word, ordering all the soldiers under his command with his own thoughts. There is no longer the possibility of negotiable or mutual compromise.

Without the express promise of the imperial court, the county towns were asked to willingly hand over their military power, and only Guo Dian, the famous Tiger Taishou, could do it on the ground of Julu.

And then, the development of the situation did not surprise the Taishou Lord, when he came to crusade against Zhang Huang's Yellow Turban Army with a new army that had been training for half a month, and sure enough, the atmosphere of the officers and soldiers on the battlefield was greatly changed, and the soldiers ordered to prohibit and bravely kill the enemy, only to kill the Yellow Turban soldiers who were wrapped in yellow scarves one by one, holding their weapons and waving them indiscriminately, without the slightest sign of fighting with their companions.

The balance of victory gradually tilted in favor of the officers and soldiers.

However, Guo Dian's complexion became more and more difficult to look at. Because although the current battle situation seems to be beneficial to his official army, the Yellow Turban Army on the opposite side has not yet shown its true elite, at least, whether it is the "Little Heavenly Master" of the Yellow Turban Army who commands the troops or the newly promoted brave young general Guo Tai, they are still staying under the banner of the giant commander who is rebellious at the moment, and there is no sign of dispatch.

[How can it be justified!] ]

Guo Dian, who had vaguely sensed something, narrowed his tiger eyes, and a look of anger swelled up on his face.

After a long time, Guo Dian exhaled slightly, ignoring Wang Shen, a general who was full of joy and complacency because of the superiority of the battle situation, he turned his head to look at a young man in armor but who looked polite on the other side.

"Li Shao, what do you think?"

The young man who was called Li Shao by Guo Dian was about twenty years old, and his body was slightly thin, but his eyes were exceptionally bright and bright. This person was originally the county official of Julu County, and later because he was born with a pair of discerning eyes and was promoted by Guo Dian to be the main secretary, assisting the main book of Julu County to record documents, and working diligently every day, although Guo Dian did not say it, but he appreciated it very much in his heart, and felt that if he had an accident one day, this young man might be able to inherit his hard work, lead Julu Taishou, continue to defend Julu County, and serve the country. This time, Guo Dian took him with him, obviously with the idea of honing this person.

Hearing Guo Dian's expressionless inquiry, Li Shao looked at the Yellow Turban sergeant on the battlefield who was fighting with the official army, his face showed a little hesitation, and after a little hesitation, he said not very confidently, "My lord, why do you feel like the lower officer...... The Yellow Turban thief seems to be training soldiers? ”

"Huh!" Guo Dian glanced at Li Shao with an approving gaze, and then looked at the handsome banner that had rebelled against the Yellow Turban Army with a dark and calm face, and scolded through gritted teeth, "Ah, not bad! Zhang Sheng, that little cub, is obviously borrowing the hands of our army to train soldiers! After the defeated army returned to Julu, Guo Dian had sent someone to verify Zhang Huang's identity, but unfortunately Zhang Huang had listened to Cai Yan's advice earlier, and changed to "Sheng" as his temporary pseudonym when he was in the Yellow Turban Army.

"Training?" Wang Shen, the general of the tent, turned his head to look at Guo Dian and Li Shao in surprise, and his face immediately turned a little red. After all, if he can't even see this kind of thing, it undoubtedly means that he doesn't have the talent to be a general.

"What a fat guts!" Guo Dian said with a smile in anger, but it was undeniable that he paid more and more attention to Zhang Huang.

Obviously he was only a young man who had not yet been weakly crowned, but after leading the troops to win a county guard, he was not only proud and complacent. On the contrary, he trained the new army in advance, if this kind of guy who knows how to be prepared for danger in times of peace grows up, in Guo Dian's view, if he is not a famous minister, he will be a scourge in troubled times.

[It is better to eradicate it as soon as possible!] ]

Guo Dian's eyes swelled with murderous intent, and he looked at the battlefield and sneered, "Borrow Guo's hand to train soldiers, but don't be cocooned and self-bound!" With that, he raised his hand and pointed to the battlefield, and shouted in a deep voice, "Wang Shen." You lead a group of troops, attack the middle of the thief army from the right side, and cooperate with the middle route army to divide and encircle the enemy army! ”

"No!" Because Wang Shen, who had just lost face and desperately wanted to recover, gladly accepted the order, patted his horse and headed towards the army under his leadership, and in just a moment, he led the 500 full army to attack the Yellow Turban Army from the right side of the battlefield.

Witnessing this scene, Guo Dian's complexion softened slightly, and when he looked up, he saw the handsome flag on the Yellow Turban Army's main formation that was definitely a great rebellion.

[The sky is dead. Huang Tian should stand; The year is in Jiazi, and the world is lucky! 】

"Humph! …… Yellow-mouthed ruzi dares to go against the sky? Guo Dian shook the iron spear in his hand, and he made up his mind in his heart that as long as Zhang Huang dared to repeat the old trick. Sent Guo Tai, a young general who had shined in the last battle, to rush to kill his army, and he immediately rode out of the battle alone and killed that Guo Tai.

In Guo Dian's view, Zhang Huang's martial arts are good. With both a martial soul and an understanding of the Xuanmen Demon Method, it is certainly an extremely difficult opponent, even if he can't capture it for a while. But I believe that the young general Guo Tai does not have such a ability, if he Guo Dian can kill Guo Tai with lightning speed when he leads the army to attack, I believe that Zhang Huang is difficult to support alone, and he can't do any tricks. When the time came, he Guo Dian dragged that Zhang Huang and ordered the whole army to rush to kill the Yellow Turban Army, and the Yellow Turban Army was affected by those recruits, and it was bound to be defeated and defeated. When the Yellow Turban Army collapses, why should a mere Zhang Huang worry about it? Even to be on the safe side, sending fifty archers would be enough to shoot the little cub.

"Guo Dian's old dog is really hardworking......"

When Guo Dian had made up his mind in his heart, under the handsome banner of the Yellow Turban Army's main formation with shocking slogans written on it, Guo Taizheng stood beside Zhang Huang and talked about it with a smile with Zhang Huang. Obviously, the attack of Wang Shen, the general under the account, has long been looked at by them.

"Is it seen through? Hmm, it seems that it has been seen through......" Zhang Huang touched his chin and sighed with a little regret, Guo Dian guessed right, this time the soldiers who took the lead in sending to fight with the official army were actually Zhang Huang's new recruits who had just trained after the last war, after all, compared to the rest of the Yellow Turban Army, the Jizhou Yellow Turban, as a commander, was simply weak after Zhang Niujiao and Zhang Bao led the generals and horses to leave, and when he thought that it would not be long before the imperial court would send Zhonglang General Lu Zhi to lead the five schools of the Northern Army to Jizhou, Zhang Huang felt uneasy, Where do you dare to relax at all?

He desperately hoped to train a useful army before Lu Zhi led the northern army to arrive, so as not to be eaten by Lu Zhi's army all at once. As for the object of sparring, is there anything more suitable than Guo Dian's Julu Taishou?

It's not that Zhang Huang looks down on Guo Dian and thinks that the other party is only worthy of being his new army's sparring partner. In fact, Zhang Huang admires Guo Dian's talent in leading troops, but then again, Guo Dian, who is the main general, is a powerful person? The generals under his command who were originally only at the level of the captains of the counties in Julu County really have the ability to complete Guo Dian's appointment? Some people say that one general is incompetent and affects the three armies, but on Guo Dian's side, it should be said the other way around: The general is incompetent and tired to death!

"The old dog sent a puppy out to attack the midbelly of my new army...... Hey! The last will go and meet him for a while. After noticing the action route of Guo Dian's subordinate general Wang Shen's army, Guo Tai immediately guessed the other party's purpose and asked Zhang Huang for help.

"Be careful!" Zhang Huang glanced at Guo Dian's direction and reminded thoughtfully, "Guo Laohu has already suffered a loss, I believe that he must be prepared this time." …… He can't take me, and nine times out of ten he will go after you. ”

When Guo Tai heard this, a smile rose on the corner of his mouth, and he said with a smile, "That's the best, and then I will lead the old dog to run around the battlefield." …… For this reason, the general specially chose a fast horse! ”

After that, Guo Tai clenched his fists and slammed his horse, riding out of his horse, shouting that his army joined the battlefield, and the target was obviously the other party's general Wang Shen, hmm. of the head.

Sure enough, when Guo Tai had just led the army to intercept the troops of Wang Shen, the general under Guo Dian's army, and before he could bravely kill Wang Shen, who was only at the level of a county lieutenant, under the horse, Guo Dian quickly attacked and killed Guo Tai without hesitation.

Although Guo Tai had expected it in his heart, but looking at Guo Tai's fierce posture of killing all the way, he was also frightened and stood on top with cold hairs, and fled with a strange scream.

Where is Guo Dian willing to let go of Guo Tai, after all, he has regarded Guo Tai as a breakthrough in this battle, therefore. He also didn't care about assisting his subordinate Wang Shen to attack Guo Tai's army, and chased Guo Tai with his horses, chasing after him.

One side is the vanguard of the Yellow Turban Army, and the other side is the chief general of the official army, and the two of them rode across the war horses one after the other, rampage on the battlefield, I believe that this scene will surely make many officers and soldiers stunned.

"You little thief doesn't have half of the general's martial arts and virtues?!"

After chasing Guo Tai for a long time, Guo Dian was angry and couldn't help but scold.

Guo Tai, who was running for his life in front, felt very funny when he heard this. turned around and smiled, "The master thinks that he is not your old dog's opponent, don't you allow the master to run for his life?" Do you have to ruin your life for that martial virtue and virtue? Hey! Old dog, you don't have to be proud, if the master reaches your age. Kill you but between your hands! ”

Guo Dian became more and more angry when he heard this, and scolded, "Just rely on a coward like you who abandons his soldiers for his own life? ”

"Abandon your soldiers?" Guo Tai's face showed a slightly strange look. Pouted playfully and replied, "How can you see it?" ”

"Isn't it? …… Although Guo's general Wang Shen's martial arts are not as good as yours, if you are not there. I believe that he will be able to kill the thief army under you without leaving a piece of armor behind! ”

"Really?" Guo Tai smiled weirdly, and then replied mysteriously, "Old dog, do you look down on the lieutenant general of the little master, that will be deflated......"

"Adjutant general?" Guo Dian subconsciously slowed down the speed of the war horse under his crotch, and he vaguely felt a little uneasy in his heart.

And at this time, Wang Shen, the general under Guo Dian's command, was still commanding the soldiers to attack Guo Tai's army, and suddenly saw a tall and sturdy young general riding out of the opponent's army, and he came towards him quickly, raising his hand and throwing a shot, and the strength was very strong.

"Who's coming?!" Wang Shen hurriedly shouted, and at the same time raised his gun to block.

saw the young general snort coldly, and the iron spear in his right hand smashed down, smashing Wang Shen's arms numb. Immediately, when the two horses were staggered, the young general took advantage of the perfect opportunity to get close to Wang Shen, and the machete with his left hand hanging low on the left side of the horse's belly slashed horizontally towards Wang Shen's neck.

"Poof!" Blood splattered, and a large head flew up, and immediately fell to the ground, rolling on the ground a few times.

The young general glanced back at the headless corpse that was still straddling the horse, and shook the blood from the machete in his left hand.

"Yellow Turban, Han Xian!"

"Wang ...... Wang Jiang?! ”

Seeing that Wang Shen, the general under the tent, was beheaded by Han Xian of the Yellow Turban Army in an instant, the officers and soldiers around were in an uproar after being stunned for a while. This uproar alarmed Guo Dian, who had vaguely felt a little wrong at this time, and he turned around and was shocked to find that Guo Tai's army without Guo Tai was not only defeated by the official army, but under the leadership of Guo Tai's deputy general Han Xianam, in turn, Wang Shen's troops were crushed.

[Not good!] ]

Guo Dian secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, and turned the horse away. Seeing this, Guo Tai didn't stop him, and after smiling weirdly, he looked for the lower-level generals who led the army by himself.

He was very sure that Guo Dian returned for no reason, obviously going to Han Xian, but he was not worried, because Han Xian would not entangle with Guo Tai either.

No, when he noticed that Guo Dian was coming towards him aggressively, Han Xian immediately ordered to lead his corporals to attack the officers and soldiers together with the original Yellow Turban sergeants, and he fled to the other side with the help of horsepower.

Seeing this scene, Guo Dian stood in place a little dazedly, turned his head to look at Guo Tai in the distance on the left, and then at Han Xian in the distance on the right, and suddenly felt a little powerless in his heart.

Think about it, even though Guo Dian has excellent martial arts and has a very powerful martial spirit, if Guo Tai and Han Xian make up their minds to escape, what can Guo Dian do with them?

"There are no useless generals under the account, even that Guo Laohu is helpless......"

Zhang Huang, who clearly saw Guo Dian's blank expression on the battlefield, was suddenly happy, and turned back to a young general with a beautiful face next to him and said, "Yang Feng, you also go and add fire!" ”

"No!"

The young general who was called Yang Feng responded with his fists and also raised a team of hundreds of people to enter the battlefield, which made Guo Dian even more annoyed and angry, because Guo Tai, Han Xian, and Yang Feng, the three yellow turban generals, specially picked soft persimmons to attack, and never collided with him head-on, and fled immediately once they bumped into him. And whenever Guo Dian chases and kills one of them, the other two must lead the crowd to continue to attack the formation of the official army. In this case, even if it is Guo Dian, there is nothing to do.

"I didn't expect that Guo Dian would be yin by you." On Zhang Huang's side, Zhang Liang, the general who had changed his face with illusion, said with some surprise.

"What did I do?" Zhang Huang was a little amused when he heard this, and then said with a straight face, "It's that Guo Laohu attaches too much importance to Guo Tai and them...... He is stupid, instead of having time to chase and kill Guo Tai and them, it is better to take advantage of Guo Tai and their forced to flee from their own department, and lead the officers and troops under his command to kill our Yellow Turban Army for a while, if this is the case......"

"So what?" Zhang Liang asked rhetorically with a bit of amusement. As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the battlefield and glanced at the generals Bian Xi and Lang Ping, who were silently commanding the Yellow Turban soldiers and soldiers to fight against the officers and soldiers on the battlefield.

"At least...... Won't lose so quickly. Zhang Huang shrugged and said lightly.

He noticed Zhang Liang's gaze, although the most dazzling scenery on the battlefield at this moment was undoubtedly Guo Tai, Han Xian, and Yang Feng, but in fact, if there was no Bian Xi, Lang and other Yellow Turban generals in secret, I am afraid that the Yellow Turban Army would have been defeated at the moment when Guo Tai and the three were forced away by Guo Dian.

As he said, Guo Dian was obviously confused by Guo Tai and others, so he didn't see the key points in the battlefield clearly, and mistakenly thought that as long as he killed Guo Tai and others, he would be able to win.

"Almost!" After chatting with Zhang Liang for a few words, Zhang Huang took the spear from the horseman's hand, clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and slowly walked towards the battlefield.

"The whole army...... Assault! ”

If Zhang Huang still had a chance before the official army joined the war, then when Zhang Huang personally attacked and dragged Guo Dian, the official army would no longer have a figure who could force the tide.

After a fierce battle, Guo Dian's army was defeated on all fronts, and the four Qu troops were full of 2,000 people, and most of them were lost in the first battle.

Guo Dian was defeated again, and the real reason for the defeat was the same as the last time, that is, he lacked other generals who could be used under his command, and on the other hand, on the side of the Yellow Turban Army, there were Guo Tai, Han Xian, Yang Feng and other heroes who were enough to be the commanders of the first army.

"Damn!" led the defeated army back to the government of Julu County, and Guo Dian, who had suffered the defeat, slammed his helmet on the ground in anger as soon as he stepped into the lobby. Because of the lack of available generals, Zhang Huang took advantage of the loophole to steal the nest of victory, which really made Guo Dian feel very aggrieved.

The iron helmet clattered and rolled on the ground for a while, then came to a standstill.

At this time, a middle-aged literati who had been waiting in the house for a long time, and was admiring the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall with his hands behind his back, turned his head, and after a little stunned, shook his head and bent down to pick up the helmet that rolled to his feet, blew the dust on it, and handed it back to Guo Dian.

"Guo Taishou's temper is still the same as always!" The other party laughed.

Guo Dian, who was sulking, was stunned, and then realized that there were guests in the house, and subconsciously looked up at the other party, and then his eyes widened, revealing an incredible expression.

Lu ...... Lu Gong! ”

This middle-aged scribe guest was actually the commander of the Fifth Colonel of the Northern Army appointed by the imperial court to pacify the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou, Lu Zhi! (To be continued......)
