Chapter 19: Zhang Jiao's Preparation
Time flies.
Next.
Before dawn, the soldiers of the Tun Cavalry Battalion and the Yue Cavalry Battalion rode out of the barracks and rushed in the direction of Ganling, trying to find a way to meet Yang Zhao and find out the movements of the enemy camp.
Whether the plan can succeed or not depends on the enemy's movements.
Quang Jong is not very far from Quang Binh.
Between the two sides, the distance between the military camps was closer, and the movements of the imperial court barracks in Guangping were immediately discovered by the Yellow Turban scouts, who hurriedly sent the news back.
Inside the Yellow Turban Camp.
Liu Zhong was snatched away, and the news that the imperial army pretended to be the Yellow Turban Army had already spread to Zhang Jiao.
Zhang Jiao held a nine-section scepter and walked around the big tent of the Chinese army, and they almost stayed awake all night in order to wait for Liu Zhong's news.
He captured Liu Zhong, and as Yang Zhao analyzed, firstly, it was used to blackmail Lu Zhi, and secondly, he wanted to lure out Lu Zhi's troops to save Liu Zhong and find an opportunity to attack the imperial court barracks.
Even if the second plan doesn't succeed, he has to make sure that the first plan doesn't fail.
Now that Liu Zhong has been rescued, he has been rescued by five hundred people disguised as yellow turbans, and both plans seem to be failing, and they are very anxious now.
"Big brother, we will send a large army to capture Liu Zhong back."
Zhang Bao said a little anxiously: "Liu Zhong is the imperial prince, as long as he is controlled in his hands, Lu Zhi will definitely be jealous, this is our final chance of winning." ”
The third brother died, and the Yellow Turban soldiers were defeated.
Now only the giant deer is left, and it is still their territory.
Zhang Bao doesn't want to die, and he doesn't want to continue to be defeated, he still wants to avenge his third brother, and he must catch Liu Zhong and hold on, otherwise Lu Zhi's elite of the Five Schools of Sanhe will fight over, and the Yellow Turban Army, whose morale is already low, will definitely not be an opponent.
Zhang Jiao said in a deep voice: "You can't send a large army to chase Liu Zhong, Lu Zhi only uses more than 500 people, bluffing to save people, what we are waiting for is that we send troops to chase and kill Liu Zhong, as long as we divide our troops, Lu Zhi will definitely fight, he is the same as I think." ”
Zhang Bao was even more anxious, and said eagerly: "If we don't send troops to chase and kill Liu Zhong, wouldn't it be in vain to fight Ganling, let Liu Zhong escape back, and we will have no advantage!" ”
"Scattered within the range of Julu, all the Yellow Turban soldiers have gathered in the direction of Ganling to Guangping, as well as some of the soldiers and horses attacking Ganling, the number should be five or six thousand, in a hurry, Liu Zhong must not have gone far, they can still intercept back."
Zhang Jiao told himself that he must calm down and not be disturbed, and said: "Our main force must stay in the barracks and wait for Lu Zhi's movements." ”
There is currently a balance between them.
Whoever divides his forces and leaves, he will upset the balance.
Zhang Bao asked, "When are we going to wait?" ”
Zhang Jiao said lightly: "We have five or six thousand people chasing and killing Liu Zhong, those five hundred people will definitely not be able to stop it, if Lu Zhi still takes into account Liu Zhong's identity, he should send troops to respond, the five battalions of the Northern Army, as long as he sends any battalion of troops, we can launch an attack." ”
"If Lu Zhi ignores Liu Zhong, we can only concentrate our forces, stick to the vicinity of Guangzong, and find another opportunity."
He continued.
Zhang Bao had no choice but to wait.
"Great sage and good teacher, there is news."
At this time, Qu Shuai Zhang Baiqi walked into the camp tent and said excitedly: "I got the news of the scouts just now, Lu Zhi sent the Tun Cavalry Battalion and the Yue Cavalry Battalion to the direction of Ganling, preparing to save Liu Zhong. ”
"What!"
Zhang Bao, who was anxious, heard the good news and said excitedly: "Big brother, Lu Zhi will really divide the troops, our opportunity has come, I will lead the troops to attack Lu Zhi's military camp and avenge the third brother!" ”
As long as Lu Zhi is defeated, Liu Zhong is no longer important.
"No, wait a minute!"
Zhang Jiao felt that something was wrong, the five battalions of the Northern Army, sending one battalion was enough to save Liu Zhong, and now that the two battalions were sent out at the same time, there might be a problem with it.
They have reached this point that they can no longer be defeated, and if they are defeated, they will end up miserable, or even have nothing, so they have to be cautious.
Zhang Bao said anxiously: "Big brother, what are you waiting for?" Lu Zhi will definitely not give up Liu Zhong, otherwise the Dog Emperor will not let him go, this is an opportunity for us, doesn't the eldest brother want to avenge the third brother? ”
Zhang Baiqi said in a loud voice: "Great sage and good teacher, Zhang Baiqi requests to fight!" ”
"Lei Gong, ask to fight!"
"Li Damu, ask to go to war and avenge General Rengong!"
……
The other generals knelt down on one knee and asked for battle.
"Okay!"
Zhang Jiao hesitated to the end, decided to fight, and said loudly: "Zhang Baiqi listens to the order, you take 20,000 main forces to attack Lu Zhi's right flank, Li Damu attacks the left flank, and Lei Gong follows me to attack the Chinese army......"
After the various orders were passed down, those commanders immediately gathered their troops.
"Guan Hai!"
Zhang Jiao said again.
"The subordinates are here!"
Guan Hai stepped forward.
Zhang Jiao said worriedly: "I always feel that things are not so simple, you lead 20,000 troops and hide in the barracks, if there is an enemy attacking the camp, you will find a way to warn you, stick to the camp, and wait for me to come back." ”
"Subordinates take orders!"
Guan Hai responded.
——
The sun is out.
Yang Zhao and the others rested all night, full of energy, and after waking everyone up, they prepared to go back to Guangping.
After calculating the time, he judged that Lu Zhi and they should take action, and then the Yellow Turban Army would conduct a comprehensive interception and kill themselves, which is safe now, but it may not be in two hours.
"Let's go!"
Yang Zhao said.
Five hundred of them, with Liu Zhong, gathered and set off.
Liu Zhong said: "Sima Yang, you must protect me!" ”
He has already regarded Yang Zhao as his only hope, and whether he can go back alive or not depends on Yang Zhao's protection.
"Your Highness, please rest assured, we will!"
Yang Zhao responded helplessly, he was used to his various blank checks, as well as his fear of death.
Fang Rui said with a smile: "Our Sima is very strong, when he was outside Yecheng, he killed two Yellow Turban generals in a row, broke into thousands of Yellow Turban rebels single-handedly, and beheaded Zhang Liang. ”
"Really!"
Liu Zhong's eyes lit up.
It turned out that this mediocre Yang Sima was still so strong, he was thinking about safety, and he would definitely be able to return to Guangping safely.
Yang Zhao: "......"
They continued on their way.
There were yellow turban soldiers everywhere, and after walking for less than half an hour, a yellow turban squad of more than 200 people appeared in front, and everyone was inevitably a little nervous, especially Liu Zhong, whose palms were sweaty.
"Brothers, where did you come from?"
The person led by the other party stopped Yang Zhao and them first.
Yang Zhao was calm, thought for a while and said: "We are from Yuancheng, seeing that you are in a hurry, where are you going to go, what is going on?" ”
The leader was surprised and asked, "You don't know, what happened?" ”
Yang Zhao shook his head.
"Liu Zhong, the king of Ganling, was robbed by the people of the imperial court, and the great sage and good teacher had an order, saying that if we can catch the king of Ganling, we will be rewarded with ten thousand gold, and we are intercepting and ambushing on the way from Ganling to Guangping, you really don't know?"
The leader was amazed.
When Liu Zhong heard that he had come specifically to catch him, he was even more nervous.
The leader wanted to invite Yang Zhao and them to join, and said: "I heard that there are more than 500 people in the imperial court, and we only have more than 200, and the number is not enough, why don't you also join us and catch Liu Zhong together to make a fortune?" ”
As soon as this person's words were finished, before Yang Zhao could respond, a yellow turban soldier behind him suddenly said, "Chief, wait a minute, something is wrong with them!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the people on Yang Zhao's side pressed their hands on the weapons at the same time.
