In the city of Guangzong, the great sage and good teacher Zhang Jiao died of illness.

Under the current pattern of confrontation, this is undoubtedly a major event that can change the world.

Although the yellow scarf has always claimed that the sky is dead and the yellow sky is standing, it was actually only Zhang Jiao who set off this storm at the beginning.

In the hearts of many Yellow Turban disciples, the great sage and good teacher represent Huang Tian.

Now that Zhang Jiao is dead, whether it is the Yellow Turban Sect in the city or the ordinary poor people, everyone is panicked for a while.

Only the wealthy families who were suppressed by Zhang Jiao intentionally or unintentionally on weekdays were happy.

A few days later, after temporarily dealing with Zhang Jiao's funeral, the newly succeeded Yellow Turban leader Zhang Bao really brought together the characters of the wealthy families in the city.

This was the second person in the original Yellow Turban, and the first person in the Yellow Turban Sect today, and he was dressed in sackcloth today. Beside him, Zhang Liang, who was dressed in a full armor, tied a white cloth around his arm.

Now that Zhang Jiao is dead, the military and political power has been dispersed into the hands of the two, Zhang Bao is inside and Zhang Liang is outside.

At this time, the people in the courtyard are all members of the wealthy families in the city, and they are all the same people in the family on weekdays, but now standing in the courtyard, they don't dare to take the lead in speaking.

"You don't need to be restrained, we have dealt with a lot on weekdays." Zhang Bao opened his mouth and smiled, his face was pale, obviously he was overly sad these days, and there was a little coldness in his eyes.

Although the people in the courtyard had a lot of friends with him in the past, but now that Zhang Jiao is newly mourned, what Zhang Bao plans to do, they actually have no details in their hearts.

Seeing him open his mouth at this moment, someone who was familiar with him responded and said: "Now that the great sage and good teacher are newly gone, we are afraid of rashly opening our mouths and mentioning the sad things of General Tiangong." ”

Seeing that someone spoke, others naturally echoed it.

"Although the great sage and good teacher are no longer here, there are still our brothers." Zhang Bao picked the corners of his mouth and forced a smile, "The current enemy is not a time of sadness, only to achieve great things is the best consolation to the great sage and good teacher." ”

Naturally, everyone in the courtyard responded again.

"Now that my brother is newly mourned, the hearts of the people in the city are fluctuating, and the matter of stabilizing people's hearts is to ask you for a lot of help."

Zhang Bao looked at everyone with a smile, and Zhang Liang on the side pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife.

Seeing Zhang Liang act like this, the Yellow Turban Lux, who was originally guarding the courtyard with a knife, also forced a few steps forward.

When the people in the courtyard saw them behaving like this, they didn't know Zhang Bao's thoughts, and hurriedly opened their mouths, which was nothing more than helping the Yellow Turban to defend the city as best they could.

Zhang Bao nodded when he heard this, and said with a smile: "I won't ask you to contribute in vain, and after a long relationship, I should know a little bit about the hearts and minds of the family and the wealthy family." ”

"If you can help me achieve great things, I may not be able to write on the Yuntai in the future."

………………

Zhang Jiao's death was a great opportunity to take advantage of the situation to attack the city, but the Han army camp outside the city has been silent for several days, and there is no sign of attacking the city.

It turned out that Liu Hong sent Zuo Feng, a small yellow man, to inspect the army, but Zuo Feng asked Lu Zhi for money.

The scholars have always been unfriendly with the eunuchs, and Lu Zhi is a upright character, so he directly drove this person out.

So Zuo Feng went back to report to Liu Hong, saying that Lu Zhi raised Kou for self-respect, and Liu Hong ordered Lu Zhi to be escorted back to Luoyang.

Dong Zhuo, the general of Dongzhonglang who replaced Lu Zhi yesterday, has arrived, Lu Zhi is about to leave today, and Liu Bei is seeing him off outside the barracks.

Lu Zhi is a famous Confucian in the world, and Liu Hong's move may not really determine that Lu Zhi is self-respecting. Thinking about it, it is nothing more than a big victory on the battlefield now, His Majesty the Emperor, who was originally frightened by the Yellow Turban Uprising, has regained confidence in his heart, and he is angry when he thinks of being forced to untie the party before, so he wants to suppress the scholars, and Lu Zhi, a famous man in the world, is undoubtedly the first choice.

"Master Lu doesn't need to worry, Dong Lang will be battle-hardened for a long time, and he is also a person who knows the soldiers, and it will only be too long before he conquers Guangzong City." Liu Bei stood in front of Lu Zhi and said with relief.

He is familiar with Lu Zhi's temperament, and knows that even if he is going to be dismissed and imprisoned now, what the other party is most worried about is not what will happen to his own net worth in the future, but whether Dong Zhuo can set a yellow scarf.

"Even if Dong Lang will not be able to help, there are still Huangfu Lang and Zhu Lang, Lu Shi can rest assured."

This time, Emperor Ling asked Lu Zhi to enter Beijing, which was nothing more than wanting him to suffer some hardships.

Lu Zhi nodded when he heard this, and then sighed, "Now is the time to attack the city, but it's a pity that many days of work have been ruined, the yellow scarf is uneven for a day, and the world is not stable for a day." ”

"Does Master Lu really think that if the Yellow Turban is pacified, the world will be stable?" Liu Bei lowered his head and said softly.

How could Lu Zhi not hear the meaning between his words, he looked up at him, a proud protégé, and his voice was low, "Otherwise, what can you do?" Do your best, just obey the destiny of heaven. ”

The master and apprentice were silent for a moment, but neither spoke.

In the end, it was Liu Bei who took the lead and said with a smile: "Master Lu cherishes all the way. ”

Lu Zhi just nodded and sighed, "I'm old, I'm old and my mind is declining, who can say what will happen in the future." ”

The master and apprentice said a few more words, and Liu Bei stood in place and watched Lu Zhi go away.

"Brother, now Master Lu is gone. The person who took over was the Dong Zhuo of the day, how should we deal with ourselves, why don't we go to the emperor? After a long time, Guan Yu spoke softly behind Liu Bei.

Liu Bei shook his head with a smile, "What about Dong Zhuo, even if we reject him that day, what can he do?" I'm going to stay here and see what this Liangzhou tiger is capable of. ”

…………

What happened after that was beyond everyone's expectations.

Dong Zhuo was a famous general in the north, and after Zhang Jiao's death, the people in Guangzong City were in turmoil. Everyone thought that Guangzong City could be attacked for several days, but they were still stopped outside Guangzong City.

Dong Zhuo, who was originally full of ambition, also visibly withered, so he had to use Lu Zhi's previous tactics to besiege Guangzong City without attacking.

The emperor waited for a long time and lost patience, so he dismissed Dong Zhuo and ordered Huangfu Song to replace him.

At this time, Dong Zhuo's account, Dong Zhuo, who had completed the handover with Huangfu Song, was about to return to the north.

Dong Zhuo, who had been bidding farewell to the messenger with a bitter face, turned around and sat down, but his face was relaxed and proud.

He turned his head, looked at Li Ru beside him, and said with a smile: "Everything is as you expected." Wenyou, how am I doing this time? ”

"Lang will do an excellent job." Li Ru nodded and smiled.

"Now can Wen You explain to me why?"

Dong Zhuo has been fighting in the north for many years, so he naturally has some real skills. If you go all out, even if you can't capture Guangzong City this time, you won't have no progress at all, and you will end up in such an embarrassment.

Li Ru smiled when he heard this: "In the past, the imperial court repeatedly used troops in Liangzhou, and the country spent a lot of money. Now that the Yellow Turban is in turmoil, even if the imperial court can suppress it, it can use troops on a large scale, and the country has already been used. ”

"Coupled with the fact that the strong tail of the family above the place is not lost, what will be the pattern after the yellow scarf?"

Dong Zhuo was thoughtful.

"The reason why I want Lang to rein in my edge this time is just because I don't want us to be exposed to people too early." Li Ru had some indescribable brilliance in his eyes, "We have been dormant in Liangzhou for so many years, and we can't be destroyed all at once." ”

Dong Zhuo understood what Li Ru meant, and laughed loudly, "Wen You's words are reasonable, this time he will be cheaper than Huangfu Song, and in the future, his Huangfu family owes me, and sooner or later they will return it." ”

………………

Huangfu Song took office, but he still did Lu Zhi's old plan, built a siege and chiseled trenches, and made a ladder.

However, the city of Guangzong has undergone some changes due to the long siege of the city.

The siege of the city for a long time, the food in the city is becoming more and more scarce, although Zhang Bao was temporarily helped by the family in the city, "borrowed" some food, but now the siege of the city is unabated, the food in his hands is less, and he has to ask for it several times with the Haoqiang family.

After coming and going, the heroes in the city, who were originally barely supporting the Yellow Turbans, gradually had a dislike with Zhang Bao, but they were afraid of the Yellow Turbans in the city, so they never tore their faces with Zhang Bao.

Zhang Bao was naturally aware of this matter, but he couldn't think of a way to deal with it.

"Brother, why don't you let me lead the troops out of the city to fight Huangfu Song." Zhang Liang saw that his brother was full of sadness, and asked.

Zhang Bao shook his head, "Now the people outside the city are all the elite of the Han army, and the eldest brother was not an opponent at the beginning, so what's the use of you leading troops out of the city?" ”

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, do you have to sit in the city!" Zhang Liang got up angrily and paced back and forth in the courtyard.

Zhang Bao rubbed his forehead, and seemed to finally relent, "You transfer some people to secretly watch those wealthy families in the city." In today's situation, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be in the middle of the battle. Once there is a change, let's take the lead immediately. As for leading troops out of the city...... This is the last resort. ”

"Yes." Zhang Liang responded and retreated.

Zhang Bao sat alone in the courtyard, remembering that Zhang Jiao was often so alone at the beginning.

It was only now that he understood his brother's difficulties.

In the case of being the master of the house, a single decision can be the difference between hundreds and thousands of lives.

As he expected, several wealthy families in the city were preparing to fornicate with the officials and soldiers outside the city, but Zhang Liang noticed it, and led people to attack first, and confiscated their family property.

All of a sudden, the wealthy families in the city were even more in danger, and the situation in the city was tense.

……………………

Outside Guangzong City, Guan Yu and Liu Bei rode their horses on a high slope, looking at the city head where the yellow turban soldiers were lined up.

"On that day, the Lu division besieged but did not attack, and today the Huangfu Lang general is also besieged but not attacked, and my brother thinks that this city can be taken down one day." Guan Yu asked the doubts in his heart.

Liu Bei did not answer immediately, but told Guan Yu a story about a Mengshi named Nan Jiyun.

Naturally, much of this background is hidden.

"Nan Jiyun is really a strong man, but it's a pity that Yu can't see it. Otherwise, you will have to toast him a few bowls yourself. Guan Yu sighed.

People like him naturally admire people like Nan Jiyun the most.

"Although Nan Jiyun and Zhang Xun were both heroes for a while, they could be surrounded in the city, and after a long time of guarding, they still fell into the city. Now the Zhang brothers can't compare to the two of them, and the hearts of the people in Guangzong City are even more uneven, and it won't be long before they think about it. Liu Bei said with a smile.

Guan Yu looked at the bright yellow banner on the head of the city, and then sighed, "When the yellow scarf rose that day, the world was shaken, who would have thought that it would fall in a short period of time." ”

Liu Bei shook his head and touched the mane of the horse that sat down, "The defeat of the Yellow Turban is a matter of course, and it would be strange if it could be successful." From ancient times to the present, there was Chen Sheng and Wu Guang first, and then Zhang Jiao, and the peasant uprising was made, can there be an example? seems to be powerful, but in the end it is just making a wedding dress for others. ”

………………

As Liu Bei expected, dozens of days later, the food in Guangzong City became more and more tight, and Zhang Bao had to send Zhang Liang to lead the army out of the city to meet the battle, in order to have a chance to survive.

However, Huangfu Song, who originally fought every day, pressed down and did not move, for several days in a row.

On this day, Huangfu Song calculated that Zhang Liang and others were a little slack, and led the troops forward overnight, and when the rooster crowed, he suddenly made a mistake and attacked Zhang Liang's military village.

In the past, when Zhang Jiao was there, Zhang Liang once said that he was proficient in the art of war, and the reason why the Yellow Turban was repeatedly defeated by Lu Zhi was only because he had not been used.

Now he really wants to lead the troops to the battle, and suddenly encounters such a change, but he doesn't know how to dispatch it for a while.

】

And when he panicked, Huangfu Song's army had already entered the village along the camp gate.

Fortunately, his armor and stomach did not come off, and seeing that the situation was critical, he drew his sword and stepped forward to fight in person.

Huangfu Song, who was supervising the battle on the opposite side, saw his banner, and naturally recognized the number three person in the yellow scarf, he pointed his sword at Zhang Liang, and said loudly: "Those who take off Zhang Liang's head will be rewarded!"

Hearing what he said, many officers and soldiers began to rush towards Zhang Liang's location, and now that the Yellow Turban has been defeated, they are fighting separately, even if they want to rescue Zhang Liang, they are powerless.

At this time, Zhang Liang saw a large number of Han troops coming, and he did not like to fight, raised the flag as a trumpet, and commanded the remnants of the camp to flee outward.

Now that the army is defeated, it is natural that they can't flee into the city backwards, otherwise they won't survive, and they will also affect Zhang Bao and others in the city.

Therefore, Zhang Liang had to go around the city, and with the remnants of tens of thousands of yellow scarves under his command, he was forced to flee towards the river.

Huangfu Song led the army to chase after him, forcing them to strangle along the road, and finally forced them to the river.

"Except for Zhang Liang, I wish those who surrender will not die!"

Huangfu Song looked at the Yellow Turban soldiers who were gathered on the bank of the river and had no way to retreat, and issued an order to surrender.

At this point, the fighting stopped, and the two sides fell into an eerie silence.

Zhang Liang looked around, knowing that there was no reason to be spared, he looked at Huangfu Song, and asked with a smile: "Huangfu Song, if they descend, can they really avoid death?"

Huangfu Song was silent for a moment and nodded, "Yes." ”

Zhang Liang laughed, "That's good!" ”

He spurred forward and took the flag from the guard beside him.

With a sword in one hand and a flag in the other, he went towards Huangfu Song alone.

Huangfu Song knew what he meant, waved his hand, and hundreds of archers behind him stepped forward, bent their bows and arrows, and aimed at Zhang Liang who came from Pegasus.

"The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand!" Zhang Liang chanted on horseback.

The next moment, arrows rained down.

The man on the horse rolls over and falls.

The flag in his hand fell to the ground, stained with a layer of dust.

On this day, Huangfu Song defeated Zhang Liang.

On this day, tens of thousands of yellow turbans refused to surrender, chanting the slogan that the sky is dead and the yellow sky should stand, and went to the river to die.

On this day, Liu Bei was silent on the riverside.
