Liu Jian learned of the movements of the Nanyang Yellow Turban Army, and immediately set up troops to Wancheng, where Nanyang Taishou Chu Gong greeted him.

After the meeting, Liu Jian asked Chu Gong to be responsible for contacting the Nanyang tribes and adding armaments, food, and horses to his army, including the accompaniment of the three armies.

At this time, the clans of Nanyang County were facing the crazy raids of the Yellow Turban Army, and their attitude towards the Central Army was naturally submissive.

Subsequently, Liu Jian asked Xu Xuan, the assassin of Jingzhou, to lead the Jingzhou assassin history department to quickly make peace with him, and together they defeated Zhang Mancheng and sent troops to defeat Zhang Mancheng.

In the army of Nanyang Zhulu, Zhang Mancheng is Zhang Jiao's descendant, and he is also the person who respects Zhang Jiao's intentions the most, and his soldiers and horses are also the most among the heroes of Nanyang Zhulu.

If the Yellow Turban Army on the side of Nanyang County could not afford to fight and hijacked the grain and grass in the county to supply Zhang Mancheng, Zhang Mancheng would have beaten Wancheng long ago at this moment.

At that time, if Zhang Mancheng is based on Wancheng to confront Liu Jian, with Liu Jian's troops, it will take a lot of effort to completely eat him.

But now, Zhang Mancheng's rear is unstable and retreating, the situation is in Liu Jian, whether it is offensive or defensive, everything is under Liu Jian's control.

At this time, Sun Jian, who had been transferred by Liu Jian from Xiapi to Sima of the Zuo Army, had already arrived in his army.

Liu Jian immediately convened a military meeting to discuss with his subordinates how to break the enemy.

In addition to Sun Jian, Shang He Jin appointed seven auxiliary army horses for him in the army, as well as Xu Rong, Huang Zhong, Cheng Pu, and Gao Shun, all of whom were promoted by Liu Jian after he served as Zhonglang General, and were in the same column as Sun Jian and served with him in the army.

In the military tent, Liu Jian looked around at the crowd: "The moth thieves in the south of Nanyang, driven by profits, have attacked and killed each other, and have the intention of separating the counties to defend themselves, Zhang Mancheng led the army south to pacify, this is when we wait for the three armies to attack quickly, I intend to wave my troops to advance, cover up and kill the moth thieves, and defeat the people, I don't know what the monarchs think?" ”

When the words fell, there was Sima Sun Jian, the first to stand up and admonish.

"Zhonglang general, Nanyang moth thief infighting has been revealed, Mancheng retreated, the collapse has been revealed, it is not difficult to break it, the last official asked for the order to lead the headquarters of three thousand soldiers and horses, from the Wan River along the Baihe River, Mancheng led the army to retreat quickly, lack of horses and food, will inevitably be poor, the last official leads the army first, straight into the middle of the army behind, back and forth three patrols, to the chaos of the thief formation, when the other army is uneven, morale is low, Zhonglang will be able to drive the army to cover up, will be victorious!"

Chu Gong, the guard of Nanyang County, who was listening in the tent, had been attacked by Zhang Mancheng in Wancheng before, and knew that there were many people on the other side.

"Sun Sima, there are 100,000 people under Mancheng, and you only charge behind him with 3,000 soldiers, once you fall, it may be difficult to escape from Ascension."

Sun Jian laughed, and his words were full of domineering and heroism: "Zhang Thief's subordinates are all gangsters, 100,000 people, most of them are old and weak people, they say they are sergeants, but in fact they are just waiting to die in the moth thief army, they have not undergone formal training, and they have no experience in battle,"

"These more than 100,000 people besieged Wancheng, if it is elite, it will be able to go down to the city in less than three days, Chu Fujun refused to defend Wancheng for 20 days, and he did not advance an inch, which shows that his army is loose! What's the point? There are 3,000 soldiers and horses first, enough to take the first rank! ”

These words, said Nanyang Taishou Chu Gong was full of shame, he was still boasting in front of Liu Jian before, and he was proud of the exploits of thousands of county soldiers who stubbornly defended Wancheng to block Zhang Mancheng and more than ten thousand people.

Now listening to Sun Jian's words, it is not that Chu Gong is capable at all, but that Zhang Mancheng's subordinates are all rabble, if it were replaced by someone else, Wancheng would have been finished long ago......

Sun Jian's words, didn't he clearly slap him in the face?

Alas...... This Sun Wentai, a mere county Cheng, is so presumptuous!

Liu Jian secretly said in his heart, Sun Jian is straightforward, has a heroic personality, and does not care about the face of others, this character is still easy to suffer some losses in the officialdom.

After Sun Jian finished speaking, Liu Jian did not make a decision in a hurry.

He looked at the people around him again: "Wentai is brave and commendable, what else do you think?" ”

At this stage, it was very important for Liu Jian to communicate with everyone, accumulate more marching experience, and increase his knowledge, so he took this opportunity to humbly learn from people who were inferior to him in official positions but older than him.

Xu Rong stood up again.

"Sun Sima's words are very good, Xu has heard of Sun Sima's courage for a long time, and knows that Sima Yonglie, with Sima's ability, it is not difficult to defeat the enemy first, but the key is still in Wancheng."

"Wancheng is a lot of huge wealth, and it is an important place bordering Yingchuan and Luoyang, the city is strong, Li Shu is very numerous, it is really an important town, although Zhang Mancheng is a giant in Nanyang, but it is difficult to ensure that when we attack him, the rest of the thieves will not attack to take Wancheng,"

"According to Xu's intentions, it is necessary to divide troops to ambush in Wancheng, so there will be a victory!"

Sun Jian looked at Xu Rong in surprise.

He only thought about capturing Zhang Mancheng, but he didn't think about this step, but this person easily revealed the key to expanding the results of the battle, and his military talent was obviously not under him.

Liu Jian praised: "Okay, Meng Tong thinks very carefully, Wentai is brave and martial, with the two of you here, why worry about it?" On the side of Wancheng, Meng Tong led an army to help Chu Fujun to defend it, Wentai and Hansheng can lead the elite cavalry, first pursue Mancheng and raid it, and the rest of the armies, just waiting for Wentai and Hansheng to make contributions, they will rise up and attack the moth thieves, so as to kill the head of Mancheng in a battle! ”

"Whoa!"

"Order the troops, tomorrow the third watch will make food, the fifth watch will be prepared, and the sky will gather and move!"

"Whoa!"

After everyone received the order, they went out to order troops, but Liu Jian shouted Huang Zhong, Gao Shun, and Cheng Pu.

"The battle of the Yellow Turban is a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions, how should I show merit to the court in the future, what position should I seek for you and the other three, all in the battle of pacifying the moth thieves, the next day's battle, you should work hard to move forward, bravely make meritorious contributions, if you can build a successful career, I will not be disappointed, and I should recommend it to the court."

Liu Jian's words moved and inspired Huang Zhong and others.

At this time, Liu Jian was still thinking about them.

"I will fight hard and live up to the high expectations of Zhonglang!"

……

The land of Suixian belongs to Nanyang, the terrain is high in the northwest, low in the southeast, surrounded by plains, with the landform of low mountains and ridges, it is the mountains are few, the hills are many, the plains are wide, the water sources are surrounded, and it is very suitable for the army as a place to camp and set up.

And now, there are more than 100,000 troops stationed here.

However, it is not so much an army of more than 100,000 as more than 100,000 rogues.

On the plain fifteen miles east of the county before, there were thousands of dilapidated camp tents connected left and right, endlessly, scattered from north to south, occupying a vast land of nearly five miles, but around these thousands of camps, there were still many people in ragged clothes and wearing yellow scarves and yellow soap sitting on the ground.

They had no tents, they could only live in the open air, with the sky as a quilt and the earth as a bed, and they watched from a high place, and there were many people sitting or lying down densely around the tents, and there was no order in the horizontal and vertical areas, and the clothes on their bodies were not the same.

If there is anything the same on them, it is just a yellow scarf wrapped around their heads.

At this time, in a tent in the center of the Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Mancheng was wearing armor and a yellow soap scarf, and was looking at the rear intelligence sent back by the Yellow Turban scout for him with a solemn face.

Five days ago, the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai Lion and Tie Mei clashed in the plains north of Xinye, and the soldiers on both sides fought bloodily, injuring more than thousands of people.

Three days ago, Huangshan, the commander of the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai, imitated the lion's beard and stood in Zaoyang, disrespecting the military orders of Zhao Hong above, not producing grain and straw, and not producing ordnance, and all the baggage looted in Nanyang County was used for his own use.

This move angered Zhao Hong, and the two sides exchanged arms, and then agreed to retreat from each other, losing more than 2,000 people......

When he saw this, Zhang Mancheng only felt dizzy, his body leaned back, and he seemed to be about to fall to the ground.

"Qu Shuai!"

Behind Zhang Mancheng, two yellow turban guards hurriedly stepped forward and held Zhang Mancheng so that he would not fall.

Zhang Mancheng clutched his chest tightly, as if he felt a pain in his chest.

It hurts, it hurts.

After slowing down for a while, Fang saw Zhang Mancheng slowly straighten up.

He looked down again at the battle reports of his colleagues in his hand, biting his lip tightly, blood creeping down the corners of his mouth.

But he used too much force and bit the corner of his mouth.

He is not distressed about the thousands of people who have lost because of the fighting of all sides, the Yellow Turban Army has millions of people, although most of them are ordinary Li people who are not good at fighting, and the number of good soldiers is not much, but after all, the number of people is there, and it is harmless to lose thousands of people.

The key is that all parties are scrambling, and the overall situation is in jeopardy.

How long has it been since the eight states joined forces to raise troops? It's been less than three months!

In the past three months, the Yellow Turban Army has conquered the city and conquered the world, and even conquered countless family Wu Forts in various states, seized their wealth and goods, and shocked the world!

I thought that by capturing many gate valve manors, I could enrich the foot soldiers, arm the three armies, and enter Luoyang to change the Liu family's world.

But who would have thought that before the great cause was accomplished, the small parties would already start infighting.

Zhang Mancheng heard about the nursery rhyme spread in Nanyang a few days ago, and knew that something was wrong, so he could only give up Wancheng, which was about to arrive, and led the people and horses to rush south, hoping to be able to be there in person to curb the accident before the Yellow Turbans happened.

But it's a pity that Zhang Mancheng is a step slower after all.

Starting with the internal strife of Lionbeard, Huangshan, Tiemei and others, the various departments of the Yellow Turban Army will no longer be united.

They overthrew the program and purpose of the Han Dynasty, and became so vulnerable in the face of huge interests and goods.

"Quickly send a sentry cavalry to where Han Zhong's army is, inform him that Wancheng is empty, and let him quickly lead his troops to Wancheng, and be sure to conquer it!" Zhang Mancheng weakly ordered his Yellow Turban guards.

Now that the infighting in the south has become a success, he has to go back, but Wancheng is an important town in Nanyang after all, and he was attacked by him a lot before, and now it is a pity to let it go like this.

"Don't worry, Qu Shuai, I'll send someone to inform Han Shuai!"
