To be honest, the sect members still miss the time when Commander Lu Zhi was in charge last year, the same 50,000 soldiers and horses, and 500,000 people of the Yellow Turban Army were defeated, and Zhang Jiao was trapped in Guangzong and couldn't move. Who would have thought that a eunuch Zuo Feng would put Lu Zhi in prison in a few words, and when Lu Zhi was escorted away, many generals, including the sect member Guo Dian, were a little schadenfreude.

Lu Zhi is upright, not good at flexibility, merit is not repaid, upright and selfless, he has a clean breeze on his sleeves, so that the generals have no oil and water, so he killed a lot of yellow scarves but did not get any rewards. Therefore, after Lu Zhi was arrested, the Northern Route Army was collectively silent, and when Huangfu Song and others were running around and calling for help, the sect members and others did not help, and the direct consequence was that Zhang let the eunuchs use this as a basis, which brought great difficulties to the rescue of Lu Zhi.

The sect members and others secretly made small calculations, hoping that a new leader would come and they could eat and drink spicy food, but he never expected that after Dong Zhuo succeeded him, he would be much darker than Lu Zhi, greedy for military resources, appoint cronies, lie about his military exploits, and deceive his superiors and subordinates, turning the entire Hebei into a miasma.

Dong Zhuo is an expert in the civil war and a layman in the foreign war, all day long falsely reporting his military exploits to coax the Han court one by one, engaging in conspiracy and tricks, which can be called first-class, but when he fights, he has become a bad seed, and he was beaten by Zhang Jiao one after another, lost the city and fell to the ground, and finally most of Jizhou fell, but Dong Zhuo was still brazenly holding the court's reward.

The paper can't contain the fire, although Dong Zhuo privately set up checkpoints on the Jizhou border to prevent the introduction of Hebei's military intelligence into the capital, but he was still mastered by Huangfu Song after taking Yanzhou. After playing the court, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was furious and issued an edict to investigate Dong Zhuo's dismissal. But Dong Zhuo has been in the officialdom for many years, and he has never seen any strong winds and waves, and immediately after being convicted, he wantonly bribed Zhang Rang and others. Zhang Rang took the benefits, so he naturally had to give Dong Zhuo a few "good words" in front of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, and at the same time instructed Dong Zhuo to take money to atone for his sins. Looking at the 30 million yuan, the greedy Emperor Ling of Han no longer held Dong Zhuo responsible, and still asked him to be the Taishou of Hedong, as for the military affairs of Hebei. It was handed over to Huangfu Song, who had won successive victories in Henan.

Although Huangfu served as the assassin of Jizhou. However, the frozen Yellow River blocked his army on the south bank of the Yellow River, and the Yellow Turban army was very strong, and the Yellow Turban Army surrounded Yecheng alone amounted to 400,000 people, and the sect members and others were miserable. Only to defend Yecheng and wait for reinforcements from the soldier Huangfu Song. That's nearly half a year. Seeing that the Jizhou City Army was tired. It is precarious, and the sect members are as anxious as ants on a hot pot, once the city is broken. That is where the jade is burned, and there is no place to bury the dead.

Hearing that the little colonel said that Huangfu Song sent people to the city of Yecheng, the sect member was overjoyed and hurried to the top of the city tower, but saw that there was only a red-faced man under the city, except for the horse under his crotch, no one rode it. The sect member hesitated, did this person really have to be sent by Huangfu Song? Outside the city, there is a ten-mile company camp formed by 40,000 yellow scarves, and the water is impassable, how did this red-faced man break through the siege and kill under the city of Jizhou? The more the sect member thought about it, the more strange it became, could it be that the spies sent by the Yellow Turbans tried to open the city gate by fraud?

Just as the sect member was thinking about it, a sharp-eyed soldier said: "General Zong, isn't this person the sworn brother of Sima Liu Ze of another department?" ”

Guan Yu had a symbolic red face, and although he had only stayed in Guangzong for one day, everyone he knew was deeply impressed. When the sect member heard this, he suddenly realized, no wonder he felt that this person was familiar, it turned out to be Liu Ze's brother. At that moment, he immediately ordered someone to open the city gate, put down the drawbridge, and welcome Guan Yu into the city.

After Guan Yu entered the city, he immediately handed over the military order of Huangfu Song to the sect members. The sect member saw that Fang knew that Huang Fu Song's army had now arrived in Huancheng, and he was pleasantly surprised, and his hard life could be regarded as the end of it. Huangfu Song and the sect members agreed to attack together at the third watch three days later, and the inside and outside should be combined to break the yellow scarf. After discussing with Cui Lie, Guo Dian and others, the sect members immediately began to make arrangements.

The reason why Huang Fu Song chose to break the enemy at the third watch was because of the experience gained from many confrontations with the Yellow Turban in the past two years. The Yellow Turban soldiers are almost all peasants, even if they rise up and join the Yellow Turban Army, but their living habits of sunrise and sunset have not changed much, so the night attack is undoubtedly the best opportunity to break the enemy, whether it is the burning of the long society or the night crossing of the white horse, it is tried and tested, so Huangfu Song set the time of the general attack three days later at the time of the three watches.

After a few days of rest and recuperation, the officers and men were already in high spirits and high morale. That night, the emperor ordered all the men and horses, and took advantage of the night to attack the Yellow Turban camp. Reinforcements from the officers and men had arrived, and Zhang Jiao did not dare to slack off, and sent elite soldiers to patrol the camp every night to prevent the officers and men from attacking the camp at night. But for most of the Yellow Turbans who had been tired all day, they slept like dead pigs at night. However, this attack by the officers and men was not simply a robbery of the camp and the village, but a general attack on the whole front, and how could some patrols deployed by Zhang Jiao alone withstand the fierce offensive of the officers and men.

50,000 officers and men came out together, shouting and killing shook the sky, and in an instant, the wall of the Yellow Turban Camp had been torn down, and all kinds of troops were slaughtered into the Yellow Turban Camp like a fish. As soon as they entered the camp, they were the first to set fires everywhere.

Although there is no grass camp in the Yecheng camp like Bocai in Changshe, the tents in the camp are all things that cause fire, and once the fire is set off, it is also a flame. Huangfu Song, who is accustomed to the sweetness of fire attacks, will naturally not let go of this opportunity, although this fire is many times smaller than that of Changshe, but it is enough to set off chaos in the Yellow Turban Camp. Many of the Yellow Turban soldiers who had just fallen asleep were awakened by the deafening shouts of killing, and there was already thick smoke billowing outside, and the flames were soaring to the sky, and the Yellow Turban soldiers who had no fighting essence were even more chaotic at this time, and everyone had only one thought in their hearts, that is, how to escape, as for taking up arms to resist Yunyun, it was the scope of the Yellow Turban's upper Zhang Jiao Zhang Bao and their consideration, and ordinary Yellow Turban soldiers thought that they could only escape their own lives.

The sky-high flames outside the city also gave a signal to the members of the sect inside the city - the general attack had begun. The members of the sect have already prepared all the armor of the army, feasted on the war meal, and waited for the appointed time. Seeing the flames outside the city, the time was nearly three watches, the sect member gave an order, opened the city gate, and launched an attack on the Yellow Turban camp.

Under the combination of inside and outside, the defense line of the Yellow Turban Army completely collapsed, even if Zhang Jiao had the ability to reach the sky at this time, it would be difficult to recover the defeat, not to mention that the Yellow Turban Battalion was already in chaos at this time, and Zhang Jiao had nothing to do even if he wanted to transfer troops. Seeing that the general trend had gone, Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao led their cronies to flee in a hurry in the direction of Julu, and as for the death or life of the 400,000 yellow turbans, they didn't care.

By dawn, the army of Huangfu Song and the sect members was united, and the battle was over. In this battle of Yecheng, 150,000 enemies were annihilated, and countless heavy materials were captured. After half a year, the siege of Yecheng was finally lifted.

After that, the army of Huangfu Song marched all the way, and even Ke Qiu, Wu'an, and Liang period, pointed directly at Handan. Handan was the seat of Zhao's national governance, and after Zhang Jiaobing retired from Guangzong, he ordered his disciple Qu Shuai Liu Shi to garrison Handan. Liu Shi's men had 100,000 troops, trying to hold on to the city, but they resisted stubbornly. The city of Handan was well defended, and the officers and soldiers attacked for more than ten days, suffering heavy casualties, and failed to conquer Handan.

Huangfu Song had a plan to dig a tunnel under Handan City and lead directly to Handan City. Liu Shi was born reckless, fought bravely, and won Zhang Jiao's appreciation, but this person was illiterate, how to understand the sophistry of soldiers. The next day, the officers and soldiers attacked the city on a large scale, Liu Shizi rose up on the city wall to resist, but unexpectedly the ambush in the city was everywhere, and the city of Handan soon fell.

Liu Shi saw that the situation was not good, so he took the road and fled. Zhang Fei was happy to kill, and saw Liu Shi who was about to flee from a distance, he was overjoyed, chasing after each other, how Liu Shi was Zhang Fei's opponent, as soon as Fang fought, he was knocked to the ground by Zhang Fei with a spear. As soon as Liu Shi died, the Yellow Turban Army had no fighting spirit, except for a few who escaped, most of the Yellow Turbans were either killed or captured. However, according to the past practice, these captured yellow turbans will inevitably die in the end.

After pacifying Handan, Huangfu Song led the army to take advantage of the victory, and successively recovered Yiyang, Quliang, Guangnian, Nanhe, Renxian, Pingxiang, Guangping, and took Junye Julu County.

After several months of hard fighting, the Eastern Route army led by Zheng Tai had completely defeated the Qinghe Yellow Turban led by Wan Bing in the Battle of Beiqiu, and Wan Bing also died in the chaos. Zheng Tai took advantage of the victory and captured Ganling, the state of Qinghe, and completed the outflanking of Guangzong from the east.

In order to cooperate with Huangfu Song's actions in Hebei, the court ordered Liu Yu, the assassin of Youzhou, to lead his troops south to Jizhou to quell the rebellion. After Zhang Jiao's defeat in Yecheng, his troops were greatly damaged and overstretched, and in order to resist the attack of Huangfu Song, almost half of the Yellow Turban Army was deployed in the area west of Guangzong. After Liu Yu sent troops from Youzhou, he went south to Zhongshan and Anping, all the way like a bamboo, basically did not encounter any resistance, and when he arrived in the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, he had joined the army of Huangfu Song under the city of Guangzong.

Huangfu Song personally went out of the camp to greet him and brought Liu Yu into the tent. Liu Ze was also among the entourage and greeted Liu Yu. Liu Yu was very happy to see Liu Ze, and when he learned that Liu Ze was now a lieutenant of the official residence, he praised him repeatedly. I think that day he still wanted to put Liu Ze by his side as a soldier, but Liu Ze intended to fight in the world without intention of being in a corner of peace, and sure enough, he had repeatedly performed miraculous feats and did the official position of a cavalry captain, and his future was limitless.

Accompanying Liu Yu was Zou Jing, the captain of Youzhou, Liu Ze and him were also old acquaintances, and Liu Ze also asked Zou Jing about the last time they went to Qingzhou and Liu Bei's whereabouts. (To be continued......)
