Chapter 18: "Huang Zhong, the word Hansheng!" (Big Chapter, Two in One!) )
Nanyang County Guardhouse.
Because in March, Zhang Mancheng, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army in Nanyang County, Jingzhou, attacked and killed Chu Gong, the governor of Jiangxia, Qin Jie, was ordered to succeed as the Taishou of Nanyang County, and it has been more than a month.
"Alas, at this time, all parts of Jingzhou are also in chaos, and there are cholera caused by yellow turban thieves everywhere! Lord Xu Xuan can't get out of his body at the moment, and he can't come to support Nanyang, how can this be good..."
In the county guard's mansion, a man in his thirties was sitting alone in the hall, his face full of helplessness at this time.
"That thief Zhang Mancheng has stationed nearly 200,000 soldiers in Wancheng! If you attack Nanyang with all your might, I am afraid that in a few days, Nanyang will fall..."
Qin Jie felt extremely troubled when he thought that he had been forced to take over Nanyang County until now, but he had been boiled like a frog in warm water by that Zhang Mancheng for more than a month.
If he was just a commoner, then he would naturally have no such troubles, but since the imperial court had entrusted Nanyang County to himself, then this responsibility could not be shirked.
Any decision he makes so far will be cautious, once something goes wrong, then it will not only be him, but also hundreds of thousands of people in Nanyang County!
It's a pity that Qin Jie currently only has a few thousand elite soldiers in his hands, which is a bit reluctant to defend the city, let alone use the strength in his hands to counterattack Zhang Mancheng's army.
You must know that in the original work, Nanyang County was killed by Qin Jie and Xu Xuan, the assassin of Jingzhou, in June, combined with his soldiers, to kill Zhang Mancheng and solve the danger of Nanyang.
As for the following, several people combined with Zhu Jun to disintegrate all the Yellow Turban forces in Jingzhou, and this matter will not be mentioned for the time being.
Remember in a second https://
It's just because that's what happened after June, and right now, it's only April.
It's not just Nanyang's situation that is worrying, but almost all other major states are in the same situation.
There is no way, who made the imperial court at this time too unpopular, so that Zhang Jiao and others seized the opportunity, and just with the sentence 'The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious' directly included nearly one million troops!
On the other hand, in terms of the imperial court, the previous partisan disputes, coupled with the frequent disasters in the major states, made the people everywhere a situation of poor livelihood, although Emperor Han Ling discovered the Yellow Turban Uprising early and made corresponding measures, but unfortunately, the Yellow Turban Army, which combines the three elements of 'time', 'location', and 'people', can be said to be windy and rainy at this time!
There is no place where the imperial army can fight against the Yellow Turbans, and their unification is all about defending the city gates in various places, waiting for the opportunity.
And Qin Jie naturally understands this truth, but his situation here is more dangerous than other places.
There is no way, no one knows that there are 200,000 enemy troops outside the city every day, and they will not be able to live in peace if they are watching their city with fierce eyes.
If it weren't for the fact that he had been the commander of Jiangxia in the early years, Qin Jie would have limited ability to bear it at this time.
But there must be people who are exhausted by this every day.
"Alas, I can only resign myself to fate, if Lord Thorn Shi can't arrive in time, I will have to die here..."
Although Qin Jie is pessimistic, he can be regarded as calmly facing everything in front of him, as the county guard of Nanyang, if Nanyang is broken, his fate can naturally be imagined.
"Knock! Knock! ”
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Who?"
At this time of the day, Qin Jie was meditating behind closed doors, and no one would disturb him at this time, but he never thought that today he had broken this convention.
"Lord Gunjo! Imperial reinforcements have arrived! I also ask the county keeper to take charge of the matter! ”
A soldier outside the door spoke with excitement.
"What?!"
Hearing this, Qin Jie got up from his seat with a bang, and then walked quickly to the door and opened the door.
The one who caught his eye was the herald soldier wearing a suit of armor, and at this time, the haze on his face that Qin Jie was accustomed to was gone, and it was replaced by joy and excitement for the arrival of hope!
"Do you see which general of the court is coming? How many soldiers and horses are there? ”
From the soldier's face, Qin Jie read a lot of anticipation and joy, and couldn't help but hurriedly ask.
"Those who are in the first row, there are the Zhonglang generals of the imperial court, General Huangpu and General Zhu Jun, but there is another general whose subordinates have never seen it, but he is in the first place, and he should be the commander, this reinforcement..."
At the end of his words, a strange color appeared on the soldier's face.
"How's this reinforcement?! Too few soldiers and horses?! ”
Seeing that his subordinates suddenly made such a strange expression, Qin Jie was suddenly shocked.
If the number of soldiers who came to help was very small, it would be a drop in the bucket at all, and it would not change anything, Qin Jie didn't want the result to be like this, otherwise it would really be an empty joy.
"No, sir!"
The soldier who heard the words hurriedly denied it.
"How many soldiers and horses are there?! Say it quickly! ”
Seeing that his subordinates denied his statement again, Qin Jie's original nervousness suddenly relaxed, and turned to a hint of urgency to know the truth.
"Soldiers and horses..."
"I can't see the end..."
"What's that?!"
......
Under the city of Nanyang County.
"This Qin County Shou, why hasn't he come yet?"
Zhu Jun, who was sitting on the horse, saw that the city gate did not respond for a long time, and the guards on the city did not dare to open the city gate on their own, so he couldn't help complaining a little irritably.
They had been staying here for a quarter of an hour, and in addition to the 8,000 elite soldiers they had brought before, there were also 200,000 Yellow Turban soldiers that Lu Qi had subdued.
After all, if those soldiers rebelled again, then they could just say 'GG'.
But fortunately, as a general, there is no doubt about the use of soldiers, even if you are really suspicious, it is impossible to show it outside the words.
Zhu Jun's performance at this time was naturally noticed by Huangpu Song and Lu Qi on the side.
"Gongwei, don't be in a hurry, I waited too suddenly, and I didn't say hello beforehand, Qin Junshou was a little hesitant, it's normal."
Although Huangpu Song was also a little anxious in his heart, this qi cultivation skill was still better than Zhu Jun's, and naturally his expression at this time seemed quite light.
On the other hand, Lu Qi couldn't help but feel a little funny when he looked at the two, although he knew the thoughts of the two very well in his heart, but knowing it was one thing, and the emotions in his heart were another.
For the hidden dangers in the hearts of the two, he naturally will not break them, nor will he explain them.
After all, there was no way he could tell anyone about something as memetic weapon-level as the 'Bloody Tactics'.
From the moment he thought of using the 'bloody battle method' to subdue the 200,000 army, Lu Qi had already begun to plan the entire Han Dynasty.
In fact, the method is very simple, it is nothing more than to subdue all the Yellow Turban soldiers as much as possible, and use the 'bloody warfare method' to modify their thinking, even if the Yellow Turban Rebellion is over and these soldiers are forced to return to their hometowns and become civilians again, it doesn't matter.
Just wait for the right opportunity and Lu Qi makes a call, these forces will naturally become a sharp knife for Lu Qi to dominate the world!
What's more, if there are really princes who want to compete with Lu Qi at that time, these forces may be able to play a decisive role at some moments.
These are all plans made by Lu Qi for the future.
As for why you want to be more hidden, it is naturally a scruple about those immortal-level forces that have not yet appeared, if Lu Qi is really invincible in this world, there is no need to engage in these schemes, wouldn't it be more efficient to suppress it directly by force?
But since the current strength has not been able to achieve this step, it is extremely necessary to make some important foreshadowing for the future.
"I'm really curious, if the whole world, all the soldiers who can fight are all in the world, the moment when they all serve me as the Lord, will anyone still be able to stop me..."
"How will the forces behind this world react?"
Lu Qi, who was sitting on the horse, was already out of the world at this time, until Huangpu Song on the side shouted many times:
"Ziyi, Ziyi!"
"Huh?"
Lu Qi, who came back to his senses, saw that Huangpu Song and Zhu Jun were both looking at him, so he hurriedly smiled awkwardly and said:
"Sorry, I just got distracted."
"It's okay, Ziyi didn't rest yesterday, one person persuaded to surrender 200,000 troops, today I came to Nanyang City with me, presumably the energy is also a loss, after seeing the Nanyang County Guard, Ziyi has a good rest."
"Yes, Ziyi's achievements this time are simply shocking, and it is normal to be mentally tired, take a rest later, and leave the rest to me and Yizhen."
After Huangpu Song and Zhu Jun heard this, they hurriedly persuaded them.
They knew that Lu Qi had been busy for a day and a night yesterday, and his expression was a little abnormal today, which was reasonable, so the two of them naturally didn't think much about it.
"It's okay, I'm still quite energetic."
Lu Qi, who heard this, smiled indifferently and didn't explain much.
Then he asked:
"By the way, what did General Huangpu call me just now?"
"Ziyi, just now I said that the soldiers above have already reported, and the county guard of Nanyang will come soon, so don't worry about it."
Huangpu Song recounted the words just now.
"Oh, I see."
"Huh?"
"It looks like it's already here."
As if sensing something, Lu Qi raised his head and smiled.
Seeing this, Huangpu Song and Zhu Jun also made the same action.
As soon as I saw it, a middle-aged man in official uniform was standing on the city wall, looking down in surprise.
"But General Huangpu Zhonglang and General Zhu Junzhonglang?"
Qin Jie asked in disbelief.
"That's right, it's me!"
"Above, is Lord Nanyang County Shouqin?"
When Huangpu Song and Zhu Jun heard this, they immediately took a step forward and shouted upward.
"Are they really two generals?! That's great! ”
Qin Jie, who was at the peak of the fourth order, recognized the faces of Huangpu Song and Huang Pu at a glance, when he was in Luoyang before, he had a one-sided relationship, and if he saw him at this time, he would naturally not admit his mistake.
"Lord Qin, please open the city gate and let me wait inside, the yellow scarves in the Nanyang area here have all been calmed, Lord Qin doesn't need to be so vigilant."
Zhu Jun shouted overhead.
"This..."
Hearing this, Qin Jie seemed a little hesitant, with his extraordinary eyesight, he could already see clearly that in addition to the imperial army, there were countless Yellow Turban soldiers behind several people, which made Qin Jie a little suspicious...
"Lord Qin, there is no need to hesitate, the soldiers in the rear are indeed the Yellow Turbans, although the number is huge, but there is no need to be more vigilant, they will not enter the city with us, Lord Qin can rest assured."
Lu Qi naturally understood the scruples in this Qin Junshou's heart, so he told him bluntly.
"Oh? I wonder who this general is? ”
Qin Jie had been looking at Lu Qi at the front of the team, and when he saw Lu Qi taking the initiative to speak, he hurriedly asked.
"I am the 'General Anton' given the title of by His Majesty, and at this time, I am in charge of the suppression of the Yellow Turbans in various places, presumably Lord Qin should have also received an order."
Lu Qi explained indifferently.
"Huh?! It was General Anton in person?! ”
Those who heard the words on the city wall were shocked!
Just because a few days ago, there was a letter from the imperial court, and the letter had already written everything about Lu Qi, and everyone was naturally familiar with this General Anton who appeared out of thin air.
At the same time, the same is true for Qin Jie.
"Subordinates, this will open the city gate for the general!"
Hearing this, Qin Jie no longer had any doubts, just because of the news about the imperial court's appointment of a civilian as General Anton, at this time, he, the county guard, had only just learned about it, and even if he was a person from the Yellow Turban, it was impossible for him to get the information so quickly.
Then the people below will naturally not be fake.
But at the same time, he was also extremely surprised by Lu Qi's young appearance!
No one would have thought that the person who suppressed the rebellion in a state by himself would be such a young man!
And just as Qin Jie commanded the soldiers and was about to open the city gate, a middle-aged man with the rank of captain who stayed at the city wall whispered with a bright eye:
"I can't imagine that General Anton, who is a famous man, is so young!"
"I'm about to break through the sixth realm, but I can't even see his cultivation clearly..."
After saying that, his eyes couldn't help revealing a strong battle intent!
But then, as if thinking of something, the original excitement disappeared, and was replaced by wordless bitterness and melancholy.
"If it weren't for Xu'er's innate incompleteness, which led to frailty and illness, and his longevity plummeted, I'm afraid his achievements at this time would not be much worse..."
......
Nanyang County Shoufu.
"The lower official didn't know that General Anton would come here, so he didn't make preparations in advance, there were only some coarse tea and light rice here for consumption, and the general was asked not to blame."
After Qin Jie arranged for his subordinates to prepare some wine and food to entertain Yu Lu Qi and others, he hurriedly confessed.
"Qin Junshou, what are these words? We are also delighted to have such delicious food and wine to entertain us. ”
"This is wartime, if we still think about fine clothes and food, then we are really guilty!"
Lu Qi waved his hand with a faint smile and said.
"Yes, Lord Qin can entertain with good wine and meat, which is enough."
Huangpu Song and Zhu Jun on the side also echoed the road.
"If a few generals can have such a mentality, the subordinates will be at ease."
Qin Jie, who heard the words, turned his previous appearance of sincere fear into a happy expression and said.
"Lord Qin, we came from Changshe before, and we have suppressed most of the rebellions in Yingchuan, and we rushed to Nanyang County yesterday, and we spent a day and a night to surrender all the Yellow Turban soldiers in Wancheng."
"The thief Zhang Mancheng has also been ambushed, and the danger of Nanyang can also be said to be over."
"I'm here to inform you, and at the same time, I'll go to Guangzong to get rid of the main Yellow Turban leader."
"Before that, though, I personally have a reluctant request."
Lu Qi said.
"General, please say, as long as the subordinate can do it, you must fully cooperate!"
When Qin Jie heard this, he forcibly pressed the shocked color on his face, and at the same time bowed his hand.
He really admires this General Anton suddenly appointed by the imperial court now!
In one day and one night, he directly persuaded 200,000 enemy troops to surrender!
This kind of achievement has never been seen in the ages!
Lu Qi was very satisfied with Qin Jie's reaction, so he asked directly:
"I want to ask, is there a man named 'Huang Zhong' Hansheng under Lord Qin?"
......
ps: Huang Zhong at this time, probably in his thirties, less than forty years old, is in the prime of life! It's a bit too much for the protagonist to accept at this time.
