A few days later, outside the city of Nanyang.

Nanyang City, which was originally very lively, was closed at this time, and the city walls were full of soldiers, everyone looked quite tired, but they still fought their spirits and focused their attention not far outside the city.

There is the place where the Yellow Turban camp led by Zhang Mancheng is stationed.

At this time, nearly 200,000 Yellow Turban soldiers surrounded the entire Nanyang City, and even a bird could not pass through the sky!

"Qu Shuai, we have been in Wancheng for many days, and at this time, we are surrounding this Nanyang City into an iron bucket, why not directly attack the city with all our might, within a few days, the subordinates will guarantee that Nanyang will be broken!"

Outside the open-air tent, a man wearing armor and stomach who looked like a yellow turban general knelt down on one knee under the handsome chair and said to Zhang Mancheng, the yellow turban commander in front of him.

"Zhang Hong, Ben Shuai knows that you are eager to make meritorious contributions, but if you want to achieve great things, you must be able to calm down!"

"Nanyang City is an easy place to defend and difficult to attack, if you attack the city with all your might, you may not be able to take it for a while and a half, and at the same time, our army will definitely suffer heavy casualties!"

"Zhang Hong, if you want to achieve great things, you must also know how to see the situation clearly!"

Zhang Mancheng, who was leaning on the handsome chair, said indifferently.

"The situation?"

After Zhang Hong, who was kneeling on the ground, heard this, he couldn't help but be full of doubts.

Seeing this, Zhang Mancheng felt a sense of loss in his heart, this Zhang Hong was originally his cousin, and he was also a subordinate who had followed him for many years, so over the years, why has he not grown at all?

"Alas, it's all said that you should read more military books, but you only know how to have fun all day long, and you don't want to make progress."

Zhang Mancheng sighed softly, and then said directly:

"The general trend of this side is on us, there are three leaders in the north who have conquered various places, and the army of the imperial court has been defeated and retreated, presumably in a few months, the entire Han will be all for us!"

"At that time, the morale of the army in Nanyang City will be discouraged and the people's hearts will be turbulent, so we will be able to easily obtain Nanyang City without spending a single soldier. If so, why bother with thankless work at this time? ”

"Now that I have an army of 200,000 under my command, even if I am rewarded for my merits in the future, I will definitely be able to become a feudal official of the First Realm!"

In the end, Zhang Mancheng's eyes couldn't help but rise a trace of desire for power and hope for a better life in the future!

"Subordinates understood! Thank you, General! ”

And Zhang Hong below, after hearing Zhang Mancheng's story, suddenly came to his senses.

At the same time, I also admire my top boss in my heart!

In modern terms, his feelings at this time are that I only saw the second layer, and Qu Shuai had already reached the fifth layer...

"It's good to understand, let's go down, Nanyang City must not have much food and grass at this time, maybe in a few days, they will surrender to me and wait."

Seeing this, Zhang Mancheng felt a little bored, after all, when he pretended, only one subordinate was present, and he still didn't have the satisfaction in his heart.

"No!"

Seeing this, Zhang Hong below suddenly understood that his Qu Shuai wanted to be alone and quiet, so he was ready to retire first.

But he didn't think that before he reached the door of the tent, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps.

"Report! Qu Shuai! Big things are not good! Ten miles to the north, there are tens of thousands of imperial court soldiers, coming to our place! ”

"In a few moments, we'll be there!"

A yellow-turbaned herald dressed in coarse linen reported nervously to the camp.

"What do you look like in a panic?!"

Zhang Hong, who was standing at the door, scolded him directly.

After all, whether it is defense or sentinels, he is in charge, and the soldiers under his command are so unbearable at this time, isn't it showing that his subordinates are inappropriate?!

"Will... Checkmate! ”

The herald didn't expect his boss to stand at the door of the tent, and he couldn't help but panic.

"Let him in."

"No!"

After hearing the words from Zhang Mancheng in the camp, Zhang Hong hurriedly saluted inside.

At the same time, the fierce gaze turned to glance at the subordinates behind him, as if to warn!

"Bye... Meet Qu Shuai! ”

After receiving the signal from his general, the herald couldn't stop trembling, but he didn't dare to reveal the panic in his heart.

"You just said that ten miles to the north, there is an army of the imperial court rushing towards us?"

Zhang Mancheng ignored the demeanor of the herald below and asked indifferently with a self-caring expression.

"Yes, Qu Shuai, his subordinates saw it with their own eyes, and after finding out the enemy's situation, they hurriedly rode a horse to report to Qu Shuai!"

Hearing this, the herald hurriedly replied.

"How many people are there?"

"Less than ten thousand!"

"Roughly speaking, there are at most three thousand cavalry, and the rest are all foot soldiers!"

"Less than 10,000 people, dare to come to support Nanyang?"

"Hahahaha..."

Zhang Mancheng laughed when he heard this!

"It seems that the imperial court really has no follow-up means to support it..."

"I'm Zhang Mancheng this move, I'm on the right move!!"

After speaking, Zhang Mancheng's eyes flashed, and then he said to Zhang Hongyan:

"Zhang Hong!"

"The subordinates are here!"

"I'll leave those court soldiers in the north to you, I don't want any flies to fly to me, understand?"

"No!"

"The subordinates must have done this properly!"

"Be sure not to let any flies come and disturb Qu Shuai!"

"Good! There you go! ”

"No!"

......

Ten miles away from Nanyang City, a group of people dressed in the costumes of imperial court soldiers were riding horses towards Nanyang!

"Ziyi, I'm waiting for the stars and the moon, the sun and the moon for a few days, and I'm finally about to arrive in Nanyang."

Although Huangpu Song, who was on the left, said that his face was ruddy, his expression looked a little tired.

After all, he has not had a good rest since the beginning of the defense of the Changshe, although the danger of the Changsha has been lifted for many days, but he has been in a hurry for the past few days, and he has never rested well, even if he has the strength of the early stage of the fifth order, he is a little unbearable.

And the same is true of Zhu Jun, who lives on the right.

"General, I am about to arrive at the defense area arranged by Zhang Mancheng, and the soldiers in the rear are all tired at this time, so let's find a place to repair it first, and then discuss how to solve the siege of Nanyang."

"Not necessarily."

Lu Qi, who was in the center, was full of indifferent words after hearing the words.

"But..."

Zhu Jun was a little eager to speak and stopped, they had been on the road for many days, whether it was the general or the soldiers below, they were all tired, and when they went to attack Zhang Mancheng at this time, wouldn't they send sheep into the tiger's mouth?

"I know what you're thinking, don't worry, I didn't plan to let you participate in the battle of attack this time when I went to Nanyang."

After Lu Qi quickly glanced at the two people beside him, he confided in the things he had already decided.

"What?!"

Huangpu Song and Zhu Jun, who heard the words, were shocked!

Then he hurriedly asked:

"Since the general ordered us to come to Nanyang, but at this time he said that we don't have to participate in this attack, why is this?"

"Could it be..."

Huangpu Song was suddenly startled, as if he thought of an impossible idea...

However, in the next second, Lu Qi directly confirmed what he thought in his heart:

"In this battle against Zhang Mancheng, I can go alone, and I order you to wait, just to help deal with the matter of surrendering troops at that time."

“...”

“...”

Huangpu Song, who was confirmed, and Zhu Jun, who was directly shocked when he heard the words, and didn't know how to speak, were all speechless...

When you come back to your senses.

Huangpu Song and the others felt that their tongues were dry, and they asked with some uncertainty: "Will... Is the general planning to fight the 200,000 army alone?! ”

"Hmm."

However, Lu Qi didn't react at all, just responded indifferently with a nasal voice.

“...”

“...”

"General, no! You are the commander of this rebellion! How can you venture alone?! ”

Although Zhu Jun was a little unable to understand Lu Qi's approach, he still considered Lu Qi personally after all.

At this time, Lu Qi is the superior, he is the subordinate, and now his superior said that he wants to go alone to fight the 200,000 Yellow Turban army, how can he not react? !

"Son... Ziyi, do you want to think about it again? ”

Huangpu Song on the side also felt that this matter was inappropriate, although Lu Qi's extraordinary means of killing Bocai before made him feel that Lu Qi's strength was a little unfathomable, but this could not be used as a reason for himself to lead a single battle against 200,000 enemy troops!

"No need, you can repair here, there are enemy sentries ahead, I am afraid that our whereabouts have been detected, if we continue to move forward, I am afraid that there will be danger."

"The whole army obeys the order! Stop moving forward! ”

After saying that, Lu Qi directly asked all the soldiers behind him to stop!

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is Nanyang City ahead, so you don't need to continue to move forward."

"General Huangpu, General Zhu Jun, please leave the matter of repairs here."

After finishing speaking, Lu Qi rode forward alone under the worried eyes of Huangpu Song and Zhu Jun, as well as the blank eyes of the soldiers behind him!

"This..."

"Isn't this nonsense?!"

Seeing that Huangpu Song was a little unable to open his mouth, Zhu Jun said directly!

"Alas, Ziyi looks as gentle as jade, but in terms of handling matters, he is a bit arbitrary."

Seeing this, Huangpu Song no longer concealed it, and made his inner thoughts clear.

"After all, I'm still too young, if something happens here, how can I explain it to the court..."

Zhu Jun was also quite distressed.

"Gongwei, although Ziyi is young and competitive, it can be seen from his previous promotion of the Society, and even the suppression of the rebellion in a state by himself, that he is not a brainless person."

"The approach here must also have our own ideas, and we will implement it, if something really happens, we will die, and we will rescue Ziyi!"

"Well, that's all it had to be."

"I'll send a few clever sentinels to follow behind Ziyi, if the situation is not right, I'll go immediately!"

"Good!"

......

"The best thing about ancient times is that the people under him almost obey the orders of their bosses, and generally don't make any moths."

Lu Qi, who was riding a horse alone on the sheep intestine path, couldn't help but laugh softly after sensing a few weak breaths that had been following him behind him.

He is naturally very clear about Huangpu Song and Zhu Jun's thoughts.

But the plan he said before was indeed not deceitful.

He really plans to suppress all the Yellow Turban soldiers in Nanyang City alone!

Because even if you add Huangpu Song and Zhu Jun's 8,000 elite soldiers, they can't actually help much at all.

The meaning of asking them to come with me was just to deal with some matters related to Nanyang City in the future.

More ideas, not for nothing, but not for them.

For example, after fighting Nanyang, directly attacking Guangzong and killing Zhang Jiao's people, it also requires fierce generals like Zhang Fei and Guan Yu to cooperate with him, and at the same time, his 'bloody army' follows together, which is what Lu Qi wants.

Although Huangpu Song and Zhu Jun are their subordinates at this time, in fact, in the final analysis, they are also loyal to the imperial court, not to Lu Qi himself, cultivating power for Emperor Han Ling, for Lu Qi, who has already taken over the ultimate task, it is naturally impossible.

If Nanyang is suppressed here, and then the situation is reported to Luoyang, it is actually two concepts.

For example, 'General Anton, together with his subordinates Huangpu Song, Zhu Jun and others, fought fiercely for many days and solved the Yellow Turban of Nanyang. 'And' General Anton alone suppressed 200,000 Nanyang Yellow Turbans! That sounds like two concepts, isn't it?

When Lu Qi made a choice, some people were destined not to get too close...

......

Outside Nanyang City, five miles.

"Why haven't you come yet?!"

Zhang Hong led 50,000 Yellow Turban soldiers to sit at a checkpoint outside Nanyang City, waiting for less than 10,000 imperial soldiers to come and die.

However, after waiting for a long time, I still didn't see any traces of the enemy, so I was naturally a little impatient in my heart.

"Will... General, the brethren who had just come forward came again to report that the enemy army was not far from us. ”

The previous herald said in a chilling voice at this time.

"Not far away? How far is it?! What the hell do you do?! Yes?! ”

Zhang Hong reprimanded angrily with extreme impatience!

I have let my words out, and I will definitely kill all these imperial army in a while!

For the sake of insurance, he also brought nearly five times more troops than the enemy army to guard the checkpoint, in order to be foolproof, but now, there is no trace of the enemy army, not to mention, even the specific movements of the enemy army have not been understood!

How could this not make him angry?!

"Damn it! General, please stop your anger! ”

"The latest spies haven't returned yet, and we don't know the specific situation..."

The herald hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy.

"I don't know the situation..."

"I don't know if you're going to go in person?! Yes?! Do you want me to go for you?! ”

Zhang Hong roared with anger!

"No need to go."

But he never thought that suddenly, a strange man's voice echoed in the sky.

"Who?!"

Zhang Hong was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly took out the long sword at his waist and looked around cautiously.

"The man you're looking for."
