Chapter 205: Pan Zhang
As soon as Zhang Chong heard that it was the local Puyang Yellow Turban who had defected, he immediately went out of the tent to greet him.
He was having a headache and now he didn't know about the situation of the Han soldiers, so he came to the head snake, and he was naturally happy. When he left the camp, he saw a small team of 2,000 people gathering outside the camp, and swearing at the defenders of Zhang Chong's camp.
It was Yu Ban who was guarding the south barrier of the camp, and he would take the department to look at the so-called colleagues outside the camp vigilantly, not daring to relax a little, seeing Zhang Chong coming, Yu Ban hurriedly told him about the situation:
"Qu Kui, the people outside here claim to be the Taiping Dao of Puyang, but I think it looks like a bandit and the like, so you can't ignore it."
Zhang Chong nodded, knowing that Yu Ban was not wrong to be cautious. Now that it's night, Zhang Chong can't open the wall rashly, not to mention that he can't confirm the identity of the other party, even if he is really a fellow Daoist, he can't let them in. There is no room for chance in war.
But it was clear that Yu Ban's caution annoyed Puyang Taiping Road outside the camp. In fact, think about it from another perspective, they must be very hot, they got the news that the Taishan army had arrived in Puyang, and they were exhausted all the way, and then what? When they arrived at the ground, they didn't even let them in, and questioned their identity, which made them angry.
Zhang rushed to the wall, listening to the chaos below, some said that their Taishan army looked down on people and did not serve these Taishan nephews; It is said that they came for nothing else, they just wanted to fight the Han soldiers with the Taishan army and avenge the dead colleagues.
Zhang Chong listened for a while, and then looked at the window above the heads of these people below, and already judged in his heart that most of these people were local Taiping Dao.
If these people are some kind of Han soldiers pretending to attack the camp, they must be selecting elite soldiers, and the following group of people, there are only a few dozen people with windows, and it is unlikely that they are Han soldiers.
Thinking of this, Zhang Chong ordered to open the wall and go out together to welcome these fellow Puyang people.
Yu Ban wanted to persuade, but knew that Zhang Chong had always had a military order, so he had to respect the order. After opening the wall, Yu Ban was not at ease after all, so he let Chang Feng lead the armor in front, and he and Zhang Nan surrounded Zhang Chong in the middle on the left and right, and then they came out of the wall.
Over there, Puyang Taiping Dao saw that the camp suddenly opened the wall, thinking that he was going to attack them, and they all retreated. It's just that when I saw these Taishan troops come out, they just surrounded one person and didn't attack, so I knew that it was the big man who came out.
Then three of these people were discharged, and they bowed to Zhang Chong:
"Dare to ask if it is the disciple of General Rengong, the first righteous father of the world, the commander of Mount Tai Fangqu, and the general who swept through Heji?"
Zhang Chong, who was surrounded, sighed at the politeness of these fellow Puyang people and gave him so many names, while already striding forward, helping the three of them up, and said warmly:
"I'm ashamed, it's just that I'm not talented, and I don't know which heroes all of you fellow Puyang are?"
In front of a person with the longest grade, his face is loyal, although he has long hands and long feet, but he looks at the person who is not a little brave and takes the lead to speak:
"General Chongtian, I am the believer of Puyang, Wang Chang, who is called Long Feet, and I am also the little handsome person elected by our brothers in Puyang. The original Qu Kui was killed by the Puyang Tian Clan's dog slaves, and we are the only ones left."
As he spoke, Xu remembered his fellow Daoist who had died, and Wang Chang cried as he spoke, which made the two people next to him a little embarrassed.
….
Zhang Chong and the others stroked Wang Chang's back and comforted him, his talent was better, and he looked at Zhang Chong gratefully, and introduced to the two people on the side:
"These two are both good men on the river, one is Luo Gang Luo Dakui, and the other is Pan Zhang Pan Dakui. They are all our friends of Puyang Taiping Road, if they hadn't helped, our Puyang Taiping Road would have really been wiped out."
When Zhang Chong heard this, he stared at the man named Pan Zhang, and saw that he was eight feet tall, wearing a worn-out two-gear armor, and a red sweat towel around his neck, with a rough appearance.
I didn't expect to meet the twelve tiger ministers of Jiangbiao here. Is this Pan Zhang from Shandong? Zhang Chong originally thought that the twelve tiger ministers of Jiangbiao were all from Jiangdong. Thinking that this person was the one who captured Guan Yu in the original plane, and now Guan Yu is in the account, and this Pan Zhang also voted over, I couldn't help but sigh at the trick of fate.
Then Zhang Chong looked at the person named Luo Gang on the side, and couldn't help nodding, he was a brave one.
In the end, Zhang Chong apologized to this Puyang and said:
"You guys
came from afar, starved all the way, and then was blocked outside the camp by my subordinates, and I was wronged. Don't blame me, he has always been cautious, and I apologize here for him and my colleagues."
As he spoke, he bowed to all the Yanzhou Taiping Taoists.
This frightened the man named Wang Chang, but he knew that this famous name in the sect could be said to be a banner of their anti-Han, a hero who did the right thing for heaven, and a hero who made decisions for the poor people. And he, Wang Chang, was just a low-level believer in Puyang before, how could he stand Zhang Chong's big worship, so he was busy pulling Zhang Chong.
Of course, this is also Wang Chang came up to pull, and the one named Luo Gang and that Pan Zhang on the side were originally angry, but seeing that the current reputation is quite polite, he didn't brush his sleeves and leave.
[In view of the general environment,
What's wrong with this one, aren't the two of them worthy of this big worship? Yes, both of them stood still and bowed to Zhang Chong.
After Zhang Chong expressed his apology, he let Yu Ban return to the wall and open a tent area in the southwest corner for these Puyang colleagues to stay overnight.
Then Zhang Chong took Wang's long arm and led him in.
Zhang Chong originally saw the behavior of Na Luo Gang and Pan Zhang, and knew that the two of them were not from the Taiping Dao, so he thought about it, if these two people had any ideas, this size of the place, these two people's lives were between his Zhang Chong's thoughts.
But fortunately, it is also this Luo Gang and Pan Zhang who are lucky, the two are just dissatisfied and have no other ideas. In this way, Zhang Chong led Puyang Taiping Road and those water cowards into the tent area opened up by Yu Ban, and then sent clear water, millet balls and bacon, and directly pulled the distance between the two sides.
Zhang Chong stayed in the tent of Wang Chang and the three that night. On the one hand, it won the hearts of the people, and on the other hand, it was to know the current situation in Puyang, so at night, the four of them talked with candles and nights.
Let's talk about Luo Gang and Pan Zhang first, the two originally belonged to a group of water gangsters on the big river.
This means that the Yellow River has not yet become turbid due to sediment settlement in the upper reaches, so it is still called a big river.
The area where this group of water is entrenched is the waterway between Puyang and Baima, and this area is also the most prosperous section of the intersection of Henan and Hebei, and there is an endless stream of business travelers to and from the river every day.
….
This group of water cowards have been eating water rice for generations, ferrying across the river with people in their spare time, and plundering the river when they are busy. Later, there were three heroes in this generation, one called, the big sheep's head, the other called Luo Gang, and the other was this Pan Zhang. The three of them began to sell flags to passing boats, and each flag was 3,000 yuan, and if they received the flag, they would not be looted in this section of the river. In other words, this gang of scoundrels has successfully transformed, stopped looting, and collected tolls instead.
In April this year, the Taiping Road uprising, and they also responded to the incident, not because they agreed with the cause of the Taiping Road, but because there was only one way to go.
It turned out that the river occupied by this gang of water robbers was an important place, so both Hanting and Taiping Dao wanted to fight for them. Originally, Da Yangtou and others wanted to join the Han Court, after all, who didn't want to recruit An to be an official. But Cao Shao, the Taishou of Dongjun, felt that this group of people was capricious and difficult to really trust, so he planned to exterminate the Taiping Dao in his county and turn around to clean up these water gangsters.
In this case, the water robbers in Puyang could only take refuge in the Taiping Dao, so they also raised troops to respond to cut off the big river, and supported each other with the Taiping Daoists in Puyang.
But then something happened, as soon as the big sheep head came into contact with the Taiping Road in Puyang, he found that these Taoist thieves were all rabble, and their subordinates were not very strong, and it was expected that the Taiping Road was not a successful person. So as soon as I went back, I didn't talk about cooperation with Taiping Dao, but just used it as a bargaining chip to actively contact Puyang.
The big sheep's real name is Yang Du, and what he wants is to recruit an ashore, but Cao Shao looks down on him and doesn't give him a chance at all. But then his opportunity came, and the Northern Army's seed Shao was ordered by Lu Zhi, the general of Beizhonglang, to lead a thousand Northern Army to cross the river to the south, and was using troops to recruit this group of water bandits. Yang Du seized the opportunity, took refuge in the seed shao, and led 1,000 people to become Han soldiers.
But Yang Du wanted to go ashore, but the other two thieves, Luo Gang and Pan Zhang, didn't want to, and after they came into contact with Taiping Dao, they actively approached the latter, and finally parted ways with Yang Du.
In fact, Luo Gang and Yang Du were already at odds. The water of this big river was originally handed down by the Luo family, but later Yang Du was really good and thought of a strategy for collecting tolls in the group
The internal prestige has risen sharply, if Luo Gang hadn't invited Pan Zhang, a foreign aid, to fight against Yang Du, this Puyang Shui Kou would have been surnamed Yang a long time ago. Pan Zhang is a ranger in Dongjun, and he exchanged lives with Luo Gang when he was young.
There is also this contradiction, Yang Du took a thousand soldiers from the Northern Army, and Luo Gang and Pan Zhang moved to the outside of Puyang with a thousand soldiers, not competing with the Han soldiers, and wanted to join forces with the Taiping Road in Puyang first.
But who knew that Puyang Taiping Road was closed in May. To say that this Taiping Dao is really not a rebellious group, although it is organized and has slogans, it is too lax in its work. These Taiping Dao always feel that they have been developing for 20 years and have planted eyeliner everywhere, but they don't know that they have already been infiltrated by the major clans.
For the children of large clans, they have blood relatives and clansmen, and they are more resistant to the impact of religious beliefs than ordinary small farmers. Their identification with their ancestors is much higher than that of the so-called Yellow Heaven. Therefore, the interests of the family are much higher than the interests of the so-called Taiping Dao.
When the big families of Puyang ordered their children to ambush Puyang Taiping Dao, these people did not hesitate much, and attacked and killed the leadership of Puyang Taiping Dao, and the rest could only flee to the countryside to survive.
Later, Wang Chang gathered a few teams of his peers, and barely formed a thousand troops to protect himself, if he hadn't met Luo Gang, Pan Zhang and other departments who also went south, Wang Chang and these people were estimated to become ghosts under the sword of the Han soldiers, and the knots on their waists.
However, the three of them are only barely able to protect themselves, let alone raise troops to avenge their colleagues. But at this time, they heard that the general of the Shouyi Father, who raised troops to Heji, had already killed Puyang.
Now they are saved, and the revenge of their colleagues can be avenged.
