Chapter 25: The Yellow Turban Revolt

In the seventh year of Guanghe, in February, the Taiping Dao Tang and Zhou rebelled, and the Taiping Dao uprising was reported to the government, and the imperial court urgently captured Ma Yuanyi, and the car was split in Luoyang.

The news leaked, and the great sage and good teacher Zhang Jiao declared in Julu that "the sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world is lucky." Taiping Dao officially rebelled, claiming to be the general of Tiangong, and his younger brothers Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao were respectively called General Digong and General Rengong.

For a time, the world responded, and there were countless followers. The leaders of all parties in Taiping Road led themselves by Qu Shuai, with more than 10,000 people in the big ones and 6 or 7,000 people in the small ones.

At this time, Wangjiazhuang has been called Wangjiabao after Wang Jun's vigorous transformation.

In order to be durable, all the outer fort walls of Wangjiabao are made of green bricks mixed with glutinous rice, the outer city walls are about 5 meters high, and there are female walls about one meter each, which are full of stones, rolling wood, except that there is no bed crossbow, the defense is not worse than the general small county town.

"Newspaper... The protector of the family, the Yellow Turban Army is already thirty miles away, and at their speed, there is still half a pillar of incense to arrive. A somewhat skinny pony burst into the lobby and shouted.

Hearing this news, Wang Jun, who was still a little excited, flustered, uneasy, nervous and other emotions in his heart, completely calmed down at this moment, closed his eyes and slowed down for a moment, took a deep breath, opened his eyes, and a burst of fine light burst out, and said, "How many people are in Taiping Dao?" Under what banner? ”

Tanma was instantly shocked by Wang Jun, and couldn't help lowering his head, not daring to look at Wang Jun, and arched his hand a little fearfully and said: "Family master, there are many brothers in Taiping Dao who dare not come forward, and there are about 5,000 people. The banner is a big horse word"

Wang Jun was relieved when he heard this, in fact, the Yellow Turban Army was 10,000 people, and Wang Jun was not afraid. With the bravery of Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Dian Wei, and Zhao Yun, they can easily defeat the rabble of the Yellow Turban Army.

However, the group of family members under their hands are hanging, and they can say that Wang Jun is the capital of the start.

These guards have no experience in battle, and at most they have fought with some bandits a few times.

With a wave of his hand, he said, "Come on, go and invite Mr. Xi, Yun Chang, Dian Wei, Zilong, Yide, Da Niu and Zhao Feng together." ”

The servant who had been guarding the door came in and said, "No." ”

After a while, the servant led Xi Zhicai and others to the lobby.

Wang Jun made a gesture of please and said, "Sit down, everyone." ”

Several people sat on the chairs on both sides, and Xi Zhicai arched his hand and said, "Family master, what are you summoning us to do?" ”

"Just after the Malay newspaper, 5,000 troops of the Yellow Turban Army came straight to us." Wang Jun explained. "It may be that our gains in the past two years have attracted the attention of the Yellow Turban Army."

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Fei stood up, patted his chest, and shouted: "Childe, you hand over all the guards to me, and I promise to leave no piece of armor killed by this group of yellow turban thieves." ”

Dian Wei was not happy when he heard this, he pulled his neck and retorted, "Black charcoal, you think you are very powerful." Master, I only need 800 guards to defeat the Yellow Turbans. ”

Originally, Guan Yu was not his business, but now when he heard Zhang Fei and Dian Wei's words, there would be no matter between him and Zhao Yun if he didn't speak, and hurriedly said: "Family master, as long as there are five hundred people, one hundred cavalry, and four hundred sword and shield soldiers, you can break the Yellow Turban Army." ”

Wang Jun hurriedly waved his hand to stop a few people, and if he didn't stop it, it was estimated that they would be able to capture the flag alone.

rolled his eyes, and shouted: "You are enough, besides, you can go into battle by yourself and repel the Yellow Turban Army." ”

The three of them sat down with a smile, Wang Jun turned his head to look at Xi Zhicai, who was watching the joke, and asked, "Zhicai, what do you think?" ”

Xi Zhicai put away his smile, praised the three of them a little, and said: "As long as there are a few people in the Yun Chang group, no matter who fights, we can easily defeat this small unit of the Yellow Turban Army." ”

Several people suddenly looked proud, even the youngest Zhao Yun was no exception.

As soon as his voice changed, he said, "But the three of you are all recognized by your martial arts." But can you guarantee that those guards will not suffer major casualties? As long as you dare to vouch, I will ask the head of the family to send you to fight. ”

The four of them were silent when they heard this, they could guarantee the safety of themselves and others on the battlefield, but the battlefield where the two sides were playing against each other did not dare to bear the number of casualties of the guards.

Although the Yellow Turban Army is a rabble, a large number of peasants who have just put down their hoes, the fact that ants bite and kill elephants is well known.

A smile flashed on Wang Jun's face when he heard this, and he asked, "What is Mr. Xi's countermeasure?" ”

Xi Zhicai said confidently: "Didn't the head of the family already have an idea. ”

"Why don't the two of us write it down and see what you and I think."

"No."

Wang Jun summoned the maidservant to give her white paper and brush, and the two of them each picked up a blank piece of paper to write.

Speaking of white paper, Wang Jun smashed some things he knew in his previous life, such as bamboo strips, broken fishing nets, etc., and made white paper after several experiments.

However, Wang Jun has been publicizing that white paper is expensive, the process is complex, it takes a long time, and it can't be made much in a year.

Most of the white paper is used internally, so a small amount of white paper is given to the major families in Yingchuan to make friends with them.

Of course, since the accident with the white paper, there have been a lot of fine works in the paper mill, but except for a few who entered by mistake, the other fine works have made Wang Jun dig a pit and bury it to make fertilizer.

The topic turned back, the two put down the brush at the same time, Wang Jun smiled: "Let's go together!" ”

The two of them lit up the blank paper, and Wang Jun's note read: Defend first, then attack.

Xi Zhicai's note read: Rub its edge, attack at night.

The two laughed when they saw this, Da Niu looked at the notes of the two with a confused face, although he is now starting to read, but when he sees those words, he has a headache and wants to sleep.

In the past two years, I have known one, and I have forgotten three when I wake up, and I can only write my own name until now.

"Boss, what are you writing? Why can't I read it? ”

Xi Zhicai explained: "What the head of the family and I mean is that we will defend a few battles first, accumulate some experience on the battlefield, and then attack at night to settle the situation. ”

"Okay, okay." Immediately, there was a cheer in the lobby, although the method was simple, it was enough.

Wang Jun turned his head to Zhao Feng, who had been managing logistics, and asked, "Zhao Feng, how are our weapons and equipment?" ”

Zhao Feng arched his hand and said: "There are 67 pieces of armor, one leather armor can be made per person, 150 hard bows, 30,000 arrows, 1,000 solid wood shields for ring heads, and 58,000 loads of grain and grass, which is enough for all of us in Wangjiabao to eat for three years." ”

Wang Jun immediately relieved when he heard this, the big battle is not only about manpower, but also about logistics, and said: "That's good, that's good." ”

"Report, the Yellow Turban Army is less than ten miles away from our Wangjiabao." A scout rushed in to report.

Wang Jun propped up the armrests on the chair with both hands, glanced around at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, come with me to the city wall to see this group of rabble." ”

Everyone clasped their fists at the same time and said, "No." ”

Several people went out of the courtyard together, came to the city wall, there was a guard standing every two meters on the city wall, Wang Jun looked at them a little nervous, his body was tight, he went up to the female wall, looked at everyone, and said in a loud voice: "Brothers, you don't need to be afraid, everyone has been training for two years, and you need to be afraid of a group of guys who have just put down a group of hoes in their hands and are digging in the ground!" ”

"Yes, someone said that there are more people on the other side, but if there are more people than others, everyone doesn't have to fight, and they will directly pull everyone out and count, and whoever has more will win."

"I don't want to say anything big, I just want to tell you that behind you are your wife, sons and daughters, your home, are you willing to let those robbers rape your wives and daughters and rob your property?" ”

"No, no." The guard's voice began to be a little messy, and after a while, he shouted in unison.

"Everyone is one head, and the two arms are just because there are many of them, are you willing to tie them down and let them be slaughtered?"

"No, no."

Wang Jun raised his fist and shouted, "I believe that the final victory must be ours." ”

Seeing this, Dian Wei hurriedly raised his hand and echoed: "Wan Sheng, Wan Sheng." ”

"Ten thousand wins, ten thousand wins."
