In the first year of Hanzhong Ping, Zhang Jiao, a giant deer man, claimed to be a great sage and good teacher, serving Huang Laodao and raising disciples; knelt down, Fu Shuima said to heal the disease; The sick were healed, and the people believed in them. Jiaoyin sent eight disciples to the Quartet, educating the world with good Taoism, and turning to bewilder. In more than ten years, hundreds of thousands of disciples have connected the county; The people of Ziqing, Xu, You, Hebei, Jing, Yang, Yan, and Henan are all responding. Then 36 "squares" were placed, and because the rebels were tied with yellow scarves on their heads, the history was called the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

When the news reached Luoyang, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty immediately sent Lu Zhi to ask Zhang Jiao for the North Zhonglang, Huangfu Song for the left Zhonglang, and Zhu Jun for the Yingchuan Yellow Turban. In June, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun broke the Runan Yellow Turban in Xihua. Emperor Ling issued an edict to Emperor Fu Songsong to fight for Dongjun and Zhu Jun to fight for Nanyang. Lu Zhi broke the yellow scarf and surrounded the corner of Guangzong.

However, at this time, the imperial court sent Huangmen Zuofeng to Lu Zhi's place to investigate and ask Lu Zhi for a bribe, and Lu Zhi replied: "There is still a shortage of military food, and An has spare money to flatter the angels?" Zuo Feng hated and replied to the imperial court, saying that planting high bases without fighting and lazy military morale. Therefore, the imperial court was furious and sent Zhonglang to plant troops with Dong Zhuolai and return to Beijing to ask for the crime.

At this time, the Han army Guangzong camp, Lu Zhi just went, and Zhonglang General Dong Zhuo only brought three or five henchmen to take office. However, the Han army changed generals on the spot, but the morale of the army was low.

On the second day after Dong Zhuogang took over the camp of Guangzong, a young man about 20 years old, eight feet long, burly, with a face like a crown of jade, and eyes like stars came to the camp gate. I saw him riding a yellow horse with a spear in his hand and a big bow behind him. I saw that this young man rode straight to the gate of the camp, and the sergeant guarding the gate saw that this young man had a horse to break into the camp, so he and the sergeant next to him pointed at the young man from a distance, and asked: "Where did you come from, boy, dare to trespass into the camp of the Han army." ”

After drinking, the sergeant still did not dare to slack off, and held Chang Ge tightly in his hand, if the young man broke in through the camp gate, the Chang Ge in his hand would immediately send forward and sweep the young man off the horse.

Under the nervous gaze of the sergeant, the young man rode ten steps to the camp gate before pulling the reins, and the horse neighed in pain, and stood on the ground with his back legs, and his front legs were raised high into a standing position. The young man stopped his horse and said loudly to the two sergeants: "Zhang Xiu, the nephew of Zhang Ji, the lieutenant under the command of Dong Zhuo, heard that the Han army was besieging the thief Yu Guangzong, and he is here to defect today." ”

Although Zhang Xiu stopped the horses in front of the camp gate, it still made the two sergeants sweat profusely. At this time, I heard Zhang Xiu report his name, remembered the hand that Zhang Xiu had just reined in, and thought that there was someone behind him, but he didn't dare to be embarrassed. I heard one of the sergeants whisper to the man next to him: "You watch here, and wait for me to report to Captain Zhang." The sergeant next to him nodded slightly, and heard the sergeant say to Zhang Xiu: "You stay here for a while, and wait for me to report it." ”

Zhang Xiu nodded slightly, and then did not speak again, and the sergeant quickly walked into the camp. Let's say that this embroidery is not a person from the late Han Dynasty, but a person who traveled through the 21st century, and has been here for a full ten years. When he first arrived, he didn't know who he was, until the martial arts master Gun Prodigy Yuan accepted himself as an apprentice, Zhang Xiu knew that he was the one who occupied Wancheng, commanded the poisonous soldier Jia Xu, and killed Cao Cao's favorite general Dian Wei and his eldest son Cao Ang, and finally surrendered to Zhang Xiu, who was named the Marquis of Wancheng. At the same time, he is also the senior brother of Zhang Ren, the general of Shuzhong, and Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong, the five tiger generals of the Shu Han Dynasty, who will be famous all over the world in the future, and is known as the "Gun King of the North".

Ten years of learning art at the spear prodigy, three years earlier than his junior brother Zhang Ren, Zhang Ren studied art for five years, and after learning excellent gun skills, he left to find the art of war, and everyone learned the art of war. And after Zhang Ren left, Tong Yuan accepted the closed disciple Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu was only a ten-year-old child when he first saw Zhao Yun, but Zhao Yun studied hard, and his qualifications were extraordinary, and his young age had already revealed his qualifications as a famous general in the future.

Zhang Xiu studied for another two years and was finally driven down the mountain by Tong Yuan, in fact, Tong Yuan had already said two years ago that with Zhang Xiu's qualifications, he could not get the slightest inch of progress in learning art under his door, and Zhang Xiu thought that Zhang Xiu in history should have gone down the mountain with Zhang Ren two years ago, but he couldn't see the little brother Zhao Yun. However, this Zhang Xiu is not the other Zhang Xiu, he naturally knows the gap between the strength of the little disciple Zhao Yun and the Zhang Xiu in history, so he stayed by Tong Yuan's side for two years, and learned Tong Yuan's proud bow skills in addition to spear skills, but Tong Yuan's bow skills are not top-notch, it can only be said to be better, but under Zhang Xiu's hard study, it can be regarded as a small success.

Originally, Zhang Xiu wanted to continue to stay by Tong Yuan's side, but the old man didn't seem to be very interested in Zhang Xiu, and when he saw the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he drove Zhang Xiu down the mountain under the pretext of righteousness.

Zhang Xiu waited boredly at the gate of the camp, and the sergeant had been in the camp for nearly half an hour, but at this time he heard a bird chirping in the air, but he was upset when he heard it, so he hung up the spear in his hand, took off the big bow on his back, took a wooden arrow from the quiver, pulled up the big bow, and drew the string, and the bow was like a full moon. Zhang Xiu squinted his eyes, and the wooden arrow came out of his hand, only to hear the bird in the air falling.

Just as Zhang Xiu was about to ride his horse to fetch birds, he heard a person in the camp laugh and said: "Bo Yuan is good at archery, but it seems that Bo Yuan is a martial artist, but he has not lived up to his father's expectations." Hearing this, Zhang Xiu followed the prestige, but saw a middle-aged man with a resolute face leading the way.

When Zhang Xiu saw this middle-aged man, he immediately dismounted and stepped forward, bowed to the middle-aged man and said, "Bo Yuan has seen my uncle." It is Zhang Xiu's uncle Zhang Ji in this life.

Zhang Ji patted Zhang Xiu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "When Bo Yuan went to learn art, he was still a child, but at this time he was already a young man. Zhang Ji's words made Zhang Xiu not know what to say, so he had to scratch his head shyly. Zhang Ji smiled when he saw it, and said, "Let's go, follow my uncle into the camp." ”

Zhang Xiu nodded, answered, handed the horse to the sergeant behind Zhang Ji, and followed Zhang Ji into the camp. Entering the camp, he could see that the morale of the sergeants on patrol was not high, Zhang Xiu frowned when he saw it, and did not say anything, but this action was seen by Zhang Ji.

Zhang Ji is one of the captains under the command of coach Dong Zhuo, naturally has his own camp tent, but after leading Zhang Xiu into his camp tent, he waved back left and right, and there was food in the tent, obviously Zhang Ji ordered someone to prepare before he went out of the camp to pick up Zhang Xiu, but Zhang Xiu was moved by Zhang Ji's small action. Zhang Xiu came to the end of the Han Dynasty but received the memory of the original Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu's father died in a battle with the Qiang people when Zhang Xiu was very young, Zhang Xiu was raised by his uncle Zhang Ji since he was a child, and Zhang Ji had no children under his knees, so he regarded Zhang Xiu as his own, but the father-son relationship was felt by a man in the 21st century, so a man decided to take good care of Zhang Ji in this life, and did not let him die on the battlefield.

Inside the tent, Zhang Ji asked, "How is Bo Yuan's view of my soldiers?" ”

Zhang Xiu didn't know that the scene he frowned at was seen by Zhang Ji, but he and Zhang Ji were relatives, and there was no one else in the tent, so Zhang Xiu replied truthfully: "The soldiers have no fighting spirit, and they are worried." ”

Zhang Ji didn't show the slightest look of surprise, but then asked: "If it's a battle, what are the odds of winning?" ”

Zhang Xiu replied without thinking about it: "There is no doubt about defeat." ”

After hearing this, Zhang Ji smiled bitterly and said, "General Dong will send troops tomorrow." ”

After hearing this, Zhang Xiu frowned and said, "Could it be that General Dong can't see the army?" ”

Zhang Ji smiled bitterly: "Even I, the captain, can see it, how can General Dong not know." However, the imperial edict asked General Dong to send troops to kill the thieves immediately after taking over the camp, and General Dong also wanted to respect the imperial edict, and General Dong and I had already decided in the morning, and we might be able to fight tomorrow. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Xiu said curiously: "The morale of the army is low, and General Dong actually has a good strategy to break the enemy?" But there was disbelief in the words.

Zhang Ji said: "General Dong said that many thieves and soldiers are chaotic people, and the weapons and armor are not as good as mine, and the thieves are only a lot of people, and the morale is like a rainbow under the continuous victory, but the defeat is like a mountain. Lu Zhonglang has broken the thief soldiers before, and the morale of the thief soldiers is not much better than that of our army. If the general wins, the battle will be won, and it will not be difficult to capture the thief. ”

After listening to Zhang Ji's words, Zhang Xiu understood what Dong Zhuo's plan was, but asked: "If the fighting general is defeated, what can I do?" ”

Zhang Ji smiled confidently and said: "There are still Xiliang generals Niu Fu, Li Dao, and Fan Chou who came with General Dong this time, all of whom have been fighting in Xiliang with General Dong for a long time, and the small Yellow Turban thieves are invincible. ”

Listening to Zhang Ji's confident words, Zhang Xiu secretly pursed his lips and thought: "Niu Fu, Li Dao, and Fan Chou are also called fierce generals?" Before Dong Zhuo got Lu Bu, I am afraid that there was only one Hua Xiong who could be called a fierce general, but now it seems that Hua Xiong has not yet taken refuge in Dong Zhuo. Of course, you can count yourself as one. Besides, there are not no capable people among the Yellow Turbans, and the strength of the Yellow Turbans that have survived until the death of Emperor Ling and looted everywhere is not weak, if a few of them come out, then none of Dong Zhuo's current subordinates are opponents. Zhang Xiu's speculation is actually not unreasonable, because Dong Zhuo wants to face Zhang Jiao's main army, there will definitely be a few famous generals in the Yellow Turban, and Zhang Xiu remembers that Dong Zhuo's battle is bound to lose.

In the face of Zhang Ji's self-confidence, Zhang Xiu just responded casually, although he disagreed in his heart, but he didn't say it, Zhang Ji himself heard his nephew silent after talking for a while, and knew that his nephew didn't agree with his words, so he didn't say any more, and the uncle and nephew ate and drank in the tent After Zhang Ji let Zhang Xiu go down to rest.

There was nothing to say all night, and on the second day, Dong Zhuo led the army to line up neatly outside Guangzong City, and the Yellow Turban Army also changed its usual posture of guarding the city, opened the city gate, and countless thieves wearing yellow turbans poured out of the city.

But today, Zhang Xiu was dressed like yesterday, but with an extra set of chain mail, riding a horse and standing alone with Zhang Ji not far from the camp gate, but Dong Zhuo ordered Zhang Ji to be responsible for guarding the camp, so Zhang Ji led Zhang Xiu to stand in an open place outside the camp gate to watch the battle ahead.

After the formation was completed, Zhang Xiu heard a person shouting: "Jincheng Fan Chou is here, who will dare to fight." ”

Hearing Fan Chou's shouting, Zhang Xiu didn't care, in his eyes, the rest of Dong Zhuo's forces except for Hua Xiong were almost the same, and he couldn't say who was strong and who was weak. At this time, I heard someone in the yellow turban riding out of the battle and shouting: "General Tiangong is in charge of the canal, and he will behead you today." The sound is like a bell, and Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew are also clearly heard in the back of tens of thousands of people.

Hearing that Guan Hai actually had such a voice, Zhang Xiu was a little surprised, but he guessed in his heart, I don't know how powerful Zhang Sanye's voice is, which is famous for his loudness?

But soon Zhang Xiu reined in his mind and said to Zhang Ji: "Uncle, go back to the camp to meet General Dong, Fan Chou will lose this battle." ”

Hearing Zhang Xiu's affirmative tone, Zhang Ji said strangely: "Why did Bo Yuan say this? ”

At this time, Zhang Xiu didn't care about explaining, and said to Zhang Ji: "Uncle, go back to the camp to prepare, and the little nephew will go to rescue General Dong first." After speaking, the horse rushed to the front of the battle, but Dong Zhuo was in the front, if the army was defeated, it would naturally be very dangerous, although Zhang Xiu knew that Dong Zhuo would be fine, but he thought that he would have to mix under Dong Zhuo in the future, so he had the heart to save people and make meritorious contributions.

Zhang Ji saw that after Zhang Xiu finished speaking, he rode away, and only had time to shout: "Bo Yuan is careful in everything." He turned the horse's head and prepared to return to the camp, although Zhang Ji was still full of confidence, but he also felt that there was nothing wrong with preparing after returning to the camp, although he might miss a fight, but if Fan Chou was defeated as Zhang Xiu said, the Han army was defeated, if the camp was too late to respond, then his head on the neck might not be able to be saved, so Zhang Ji thought about it and returned to the camp to prepare.

Besides, Zhang Xiu marched on horseback, at this time the army was not chaotic, the Han army was still very neat, Zhang Xiu came out of the rear and walked to the front from the side, but it was not slow along the way.

Just as Zhang Xiu was advancing, Guan Hai and Fan Chou had already faced each other.

"When"

Guan Hai's long knife and Fan Chou's big knife collided fiercely, Fan Chou was hit by Guan Hai but his arm was numb, and the tiger's mouth was in severe pain, if it weren't for years of experience in battle, I'm afraid this knife would not be able to catch it. Guan Hai naturally didn't know Fan Chou's current situation, but when he saw that Fan Chou could take his own knife, he shouted: "Come again." ”

After speaking, he swung his sword again and killed Fan Chou. Fan Chou took Guan Hai's knife, knowing that he would lose to the black strong man in front of him in terms of strength, so he wanted to rely on the knife technique to fight with Guan Hai. How do you know that Guan Hai is not easy to get along with, a long knife dances so much that the water can't be splashed, and several knives slash at Fan Chou, Fan Chou has lost to Guan Hai in terms of strength, and in the face of Guan Hai's continuous chopping long knife, he has to resist hard, and he is secretly bitter in his heart: "I underestimate the heroes of the world." ”

And in the eyes of the two armies, except for the first blow, the two seemed to be evenly divided, and the rest were all fought by Guan Hai under Fan Chou's pressure, but Fan Chou was hard to support with his old experience.

Zhang Liang, the commander of the yellow scarf on one side, was overjoyed when he saw it. Among the Han army, Dong Zhuo, Niu Fu, and Li Dao looked like dirt, and several of them were generals in the army, and when they saw this situation, they naturally knew that Fan Chou's defeat was only in a moment, but now they were powerless to change these.

Dong Zhuo also thought about sending someone to meet him, but there was no general in his hands, Niu Fu and Li Dao wanted to lead the left and right armies, Zhang Ji was in the camp, and there were no generals in the Han army, Dong Zhuo was secretly anxious.
