Chapter 13: The Resurgence

In just a few months, Zhao Hong, Han Zhong, and Sun Zhong gathered tens of thousands of yellow turbans in Nanjun County, Jingzhou, killed officials and looted, claiming to avenge Zhang Jiao.

When Liu Biao first arrived in Jingzhou, he did not have any elite soldiers and strong generals, so he hurriedly went up to Shu for help.

The imperial court let Zhu Jun lead the victorious army to Nanjun to crusade against the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army.

In the coming day, the army marched to Wancheng.

At this time, the Yellow Turban Army had gathered 100,000 people to occupy this place, and Zhao Hong sent Han Zhong to Wancheng to meet the Han army.

Zhu Jun commanded the army to attack, Liu Guanzhang and the three fought hard, and Han Zhong was defeated and returned.

A few days later, Han Zhong sent an envoy out of the city to meet Zhu Jun, wanting to surrender to the Han army, but Zhu Jun resolutely disagreed.

Liu Bei didn't know why, so Zhu Jun explained it to him.

Liu Bei took the opportunity to propose that if the army besieged it, I am afraid that the tens of thousands of yellow turbans in the city would be killed. It is better to set aside two gates so that they can escape, so that the Yellow Turban Army has no intention of fighting. After Zhu Jun heard this, he recognized Liu Bei's strategy.

When Liu Bei returned to the tent and said Zhu Jun's words to Guan and Zhang, Zhang Fei didn't know why, Guan Yu just sneered.

Liu Bei asked strangely, "Why is the second brother laughing?" ”

Guan Yu said proudly: "I only laugh at this Zhu Jun, although he is from a poor family, but after all, he is different from me." Although his status is low, he is a Shu clan after all, and his family has a lot of money, grain and land, so how can he know the suffering of the people? How much of the money and property looted by the Yellow Turban thieves can be distributed to the hands of the people who are being coerced? is that he has killed most of the world, and he should be against it! ”

Then after thinking about it for a while, he said: "Gentleman, Zhou also; Those who are familiar with the people, the water is also. The water can carry the boat, or it can capsize the boat. Why did this yellow scarf make a mess? It's just that because the hungry people are everywhere and the hunger is everywhere, they will die, and if they don't, they will die. If there is a rebellion, we can still eat a few full meals, if it is the three of us brothers, how will we choose? ”

Zhang Fei heard Guan Yu say this, and said bluntly: "If that's the case, then it's better to do the opposite!" ”

After Guan Yu heard what he said, he continued: "Today, not to mention the Son of Heaven, it is the Gate Lords clan, the clan is strong, and the Hanmen Shu clan is not like Zhu Jun, who treats the people as pigs, dogs, cows and horses?" If today's son continues to be mediocre, then the world will be full of smoke and war! ”

When Liu Bei heard him say this, he also felt very reasonable, but he was also quite annoyed by the disrespect for the Spirit Emperor in the mouth of the second brother.

After a while, he said solemnly: "What the second brother said, although it is a good word, but in the future, you must not talk nonsense, otherwise you will inevitably be killed!" ”

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Zhang Fei again: "Especially the third brother, you are straightforward, and you must be careful!" ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei saw that the eldest brother said so cautiously, and hurriedly agreed in unison.

The next day, Zhu Jun adopted Liu Bei's suggestion, removed the troops and horses from the east and south, and then attacked the remaining two directions together.

Han Zhong really led his troops to escape, and Zhu Jun and Liu Guanzhang led their troops to chase and kill.

Zhang Fei seized an opportunity, opened his bow and arrows, and directly shot Han Zhong to death in the chaos.

While they were chasing and killing the rebels, Zhao Hong and Sun Zhong led the army forward. Zhu Jun saw that they were powerful, so he temporarily withdrew his troops to avoid their edge.

After Zhao Hong and Sun Zhong gathered the fleeing soldiers and horses, they recaptured Wancheng again.

Zhu Jun led his troops to go down to the village ten miles away from Wancheng, and was just about to send troops to attack, when a sergeant reported that Sun Jian brought 1,500 men and horses to vote, and Zhu Jun was overjoyed after hearing it.

When they arrived at the joint army, Zhu Jun ordered Sun Jian to attack the south gate, Liu Bei to attack the north gate, and himself to attack the west gate, leaving the east gate for the Yellow Turban thieves to escape.

Sun Jian first climbed the city wall and killed Zhao Hong. Sun Zhong led his troops to storm the north gate, and happened to meet Liu Guanzhang and the others, he did not dare to fight, and hurriedly fled back. But Liu Bei bent his bow and arrows, and died under the horse with an arrow.

At this point, Jingzhou is peaceful, and there are no large rebellious yellow turbans in the world.

In the Battle of Nanjun, Zhu Jun beheaded tens of thousands, returned to Beijing, and was named the general of the chariot cavalry, and he played the merits of Sun Jian and Liu Bei.

Sun Jian had Zhu Jun's strong recommendation, and he had already won over the relationship, so he was appointed Sima of other departments, and then happily took office.

Liu Bei waited in the capital for several days, but there was no news of the reward.

This time, he remembered what Guan Yu had said before, and while admiring Guan Yu's foresight, he also sighed.

Zhang Fei was very unfair there for other things: "Since we took refuge in Zhu Jun, which time has we not been a force to serve death?" Unexpectedly, in the end, this Sun Jian only brought 1,500 people to help, and his credit was still before the eldest brother! ”

Guan Yu said: "Although the eldest brother is an emperor, he has long since declined, and he is even inferior to the poor family. The Sun family has been an official for generations, and the legend is that after Sun Wu, Zhu Jun of course looked at it differently and strongly recommended it. These clans of the gate lords tried their best to connect together and became officials for generations. Even if it is a change of dynasty, it will not hurt their roots. ”

When Liu Bei heard Guan Yu say this, he was even more depressed in his heart.

Zhang Fei said with some annoyance: "Is there no other way?" ”

"Yes, but Big Brother definitely won't use it."

After Guan Yu finished speaking, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei also knew that what he said was a way to bribe the ten permanent servants to send gold, silver and jewelry.

At this time, Zhang Fei said sullenly: "For the sake of the country, regardless of the danger of our lives, I don't know how many villagers in Zhuoxian County died in the chaos. Unexpectedly, in the end, it was these people who came from famous families and were able to pick up this great achievement in vain. We and other people who are truly meritorious have been completely forgotten, and this world is really chilling! ”

Liu Bei hurriedly stopped him: "Third brother, be cautious in your words and deeds, and be careful that the wall has ears!" ”

When Zhang Fei heard him say this, his heart was even more stupid.

Guan Yu suggested: "In this case, we might as well go back to Zhuo County first." Anyway, Liu Yu still has an incense on his side, and if he has the opportunity, he may be able to reactivate it. ”

Liu Bei listened to what he said, so he had no choice but to agree.

Unexpectedly, the world is impermanent, and the three brothers still met Zhang Jun this time.

Although Liu Bei was appointed as the county lieutenant of Anxi in the end, Zhang Jun also lost his life in vain because of his criticism of the ten permanent servants.

Liu Bei Wenzhi was very annoyed in his heart, and gradually lost confidence in this upside-down world.

Liu Bei was originally a little worried because he was under the rule of Huangfu Song.

After coming here, he knew that Huangfu Song had been disturbed by the yellow turban army that suddenly appeared in Jizhou at the moment, and he couldn't get out of it at all.

After Zhang Bao escaped, he came to Jizhou.

When he learned that his two brothers were both beheaded by Huangfu Song, he gathered 50,000 Yellow Turban soldiers to seek revenge from Huangfu Song.

After Huangfu Song took office, he didn't have many soldiers and horses, so the battle was quite embarrassing.

At that time, there was a great chaos in Jizhou, and Liu Bei did not listen to what Guan and Zhang said, and all the soldiers and horses were dismissed.

At this moment, I can only rely on temporary recruitment, gather 5,000 troops, and come to Anxi County to make a plan.

Therefore, it is close to Zhuo County, and many of the Yellow Turban soldiers here came from Youzhou at that time.

After hearing that Liu Bei served as the lieutenant of Anxi County, he avoided this place from afar, not daring to offend at all.

Because of Liu Bei's arrival, Anxi County has become a peaceful paradise. Therefore, the people are very grateful to Liu Xuande for his kindness.

Zhang Bao's war in Jizhou was unfavorable, so he thought of taking Youzhou first. After the power expands, he will find Huangfu Song for a decisive battle.

After Liu Bei got the news that he was going north, he hurriedly gathered his men and horses and went to Zhuojun to rescue.

When Zhang Bao came to the left side of Guoyi County, Hejian, he was attacked by Liu Bei, who had already arrived, and led a large army. After breaking a lot of men and horses, he was defeated and walked more than fifty miles to the east.
