Half a month later, entering October, the weather gradually turned cooler, and after October, Zhuang Shaoyou ordered Qinling to greatly strengthen the night vigilance, although Qinling did not understand, but still faithfully carried out the order.

Zhang Liang camp and Zhang Jiao camp are twenty miles apart, between the Qing River, the river is the boundary bridge, the Yellow Turban Army Zhang Liang camp, Zhang Liang sat at the top of the big tent, below is a cronie who came to report, is kneeling on one knee to report to Zhang Liang:

"General, according to the news from Neiying, General Tiangong did not raise the tent today, nor did he meet anyone, and the vicinity of the big tent was closely guarded by his own soldiers, and only General Zhang Yan and Zhang Ning could enter and exit. The secret agent observed that Zhang Ning had a worried face in the past few days. ”

"What about the contact with Zhang Yan? What is his plan? Zhang Liang frowned and then asked

Zhang Yan had an ambiguous attitude, saying that General Tiangong would be loyal for one day, and expressed his gratitude to General Rengong for his kindness, but said nothing else. Also, Zhang Yan's subordinates said that Zhang Yan has been very short-tempered in the past month, beating and scolding soldiers at every turn, and there is a piece of gossip, but I don't know if it's true or not. ”

"Speak quickly! What do you do! Zhang Liang reprimanded angrily

"Yes! Rumor has it that General Zhang Yan has some interest in Zhang Ning, the daughter of General Tiangong. After the cronie finished speaking, he looked up at Zhang Liang's expression worriedly, after all, this kind of gossip is really not a military situation, and he is worried about being punished.

But Zhang Liang was overjoyed when he heard it, and couldn't help but stroke his palm and say to himself: "This is a good thing!" Big brother, you haven't calculated this far, have you? Your daughter is a baby, but the two of your most trusted subordinates have fallen in love with the same baby, and you don't know it, if I don't mix, I'm really sorry for you! God help me! ”

Then, Zhang Liang whispered something to the cronie, and then the cronie hurried to do it.

…………

In the Zhangjiao camp of the Yellow Turban Army, in Zhang Yan's camp tent, Zhang Yan looked at the person opposite with an expressionless face, and said: "As long as General Rengong can do what I said, then I will do my best to help, and I will go back afterwards to continue to be my mountain king, and no longer participate in the affairs of the army." ”

…………

Zhang Liang sat in his seat, pondering and meditating, unable to make a decision

The cronie said: "General, why don't we go and get in touch with Zhuang Shaoyou?" ”

"No! By all means, if Zhuang Shaoyou agrees, it's fine, if he doesn't agree or harbors evil intentions, then it will be difficult for us to do it! Well, you go and tell Zhang Yan that General Ben agrees to his conditions, but he has to show some sincerity first. ”

"Yes!"

Watching his subordinates retreat, Zhang Liang's eyes looked forward deeply, as if he could see into the distance through the barrier of the tent.

…………

Fifty miles north of Guangzong, Zhang Bao of the Yellow Turban Army camped, Zhang Bao dragged his fat body around the tent, and after a while, he sat back on the chair and kept gasping

At this time, a personal soldier entered the tent and saluted on one knee: "Report to the general, the tent of General Tiangong has recently implemented martial law, General Tiangong has not seen his generals for many days, the people on General Rengong's side seem to have frequent contact with Zhang Yan, and our spies on the cavalry battalion have never been able to enter, and there is no special movement, it is still daily training."

Zhang Bao listened to the report of his subordinates, frowned slightly, and said to himself: "It seems that the eldest brother is really not good, and the third brother has frequent contact with Zhang Yan?" Isn't Zhang Yan loyal to her eldest brother? How did you come into contact with the third brother? Third brother, I know you have a lot of eyes, but if you plan to swallow it alone, brother, I can't agree to it anyway! ”

…………

Quliang City, the county seat of Guangping County, Jizhou, is one hundred and thirty miles away from Guangzong, and the official and military patrols and scouts outside Quliang City are all blocked by the city gates. The county guard of Quliang City was conquered by the rebels at the beginning of the Yellow Turban Uprising, and all the officials such as the county guard were killed, because the uprising had not yet subsided, and it was close to the camp of the Yellow Turban Army of Guangzong, so there was no new county guard to take office.

Four months ago, during the first battle of Guangzong Qinghe, after this place was recaptured by the official army, the Yellow Turban Army did not attack again, after all, the granaries and rich households inside were robbed, and it was not worth spending a lot of money to attack, plus after the two Qinghe battles, the Yellow Turban Army of Zhang Jiao was greatly injured and had no time to take care of it, so Quliang City gradually restored order.

Today, Quliang City is full of officers and troops stationed inside and outside the city, 8,000 cavalry and 80,000 infantry outside the city, and 10,000 infantry in the city, totaling nearly 100,000 officers and soldiers, but due to the good secrecy measures, the Yellow Turban Army did not know the specific number of officers and soldiers.

The main officer and army in Quliang City will be Huang Fu Song, born in a family of famous generals, once served as the Taishou of the North, after the uprising of the Yellow Turban Army, he was appointed as the general of Zuo Zhonglang, and Zhu Jun of the Right Zhong Lang will be divided into two ways to crusade against the Yingchuan Yellow Turban Army, after the defeat of Zhu Jun's army, Huangfu Song was surrounded in the long society, and then Cao Cao led reinforcements to arrive, and Huangfu Song broke the Yingchuan Bocai Yellow Turban Army with fire.

In the Jizhou Yellow Turban Army extermination war, two bloody battles on the banks of the Qing River in Guangzong, the official army lost soldiers and generals, the main generals Lu Zhi and Dong Zhuo were defeated one after another, He Jin had to transfer the outstanding Huangfu Song to Jizhou to suppress, because Quliang City has not yet arrived at the county guard, so Huangfu Song is in charge of the military and political power of Quliang, and will be stationed in the county guard.

In the county guard's mansion, Huangfu Song drank tea in civilian clothes and listened to his subordinates' reports on the military situation

"Report to the general, according to our secret agent report, the Yellow Turban Army Zhang Jiao's camp has recently implemented martial law, Zhang Jiao's personal soldiers have blocked Zhang Jiao's big tent, prohibiting anyone from approaching, Zhang Jiao has not met with the general for many days, and it is rumored that Zhang Jiao is terminally ill and may die at any time. In addition, the camp of Zhang Liang's army east of the Qinghe River of the Yellow Turban Army has been frequently mobilized in recent days, and it looks like it is preparing for war. ”

Listening to the report of his subordinates, Huangfu Song pondered for a moment and said, "Is there any news of that young demon?" ”

The person who reported to his subordinates immediately said nervously: "General, that young demon is said to have been appointed as the general of the cavalry battalion of the Zhang Jiao Army a month and a half ago, there is no news otherwise, this person has never been in contact with other generals of the Yellow Turban Army, and the generals of the Yellow Turban Army do not know him This person usually trains in the cavalry battalion, the cavalry battalion is heavily guarded, and it is a separate system, our spies can't get in, and in the past month and a half, it is difficult for ordinary soldiers in the cavalry battalion to get in touch." ”

"Waste, I can't even find out any news, what's the use of you? Go, check for me, no matter what method you use, you must find out the details of this person for me! Huangfu Song listened to the report of his subordinates and was immediately furious.

It has been half a month since Huangfu Song arrived in Quliang City, Jizhou, and he has been paying attention to collecting intelligence on the Yellow Turban Army during this time. Fortunately, he was only the general of the cavalry battalion, and the impact was not great.

However, Huangfu Song was deeply impressed by the young demon Zhuang Shaoyou, and he also gritted his teeth with hatred! The two battles of Guangzong Qing River were all because of this person, which led to the reversal of the good situation of the official army, then Dong Zhuo was defeated and defeated, and it didn't matter if Han Liang was killed, Huangfu Song didn't want to see those two people in the first place.

But Bei Zhonglang dismissed Lu Zhi from his post and took him back to Luoyang for trial, and Huangfu Song used countless connections and gold and silver to save Lu Zhi, thinking that this friend for many years was now so down, Huangfu Song couldn't help but be angry, he must catch that young demon to avenge his friend!

Huangfu Song calmed down, pondered for a while, raised his head and said loudly: "Someone!" ”

"The subordinates are here!" A soldier quickly came in and saluted

"Pass on my order, the whole army set off, advance fifty miles to the northeast of Guangzong, and order the cavalry general Song Tie to lead the cavalry to open the way in front of the vanguard, and be sure to clear the scouts of the Yellow Turban Army along the way, and not let go of one! In addition, he sent someone to summon Guo Dian, the Taishou of Julu, and ordered him to keep an eye on Zhang Bao, the Yellow Turban Army, and make sure that he could not be sent to reinforce Guangzong! ”

"Subordinates obey!" The soldiers were hastily summoned.

…………

In the cavalry battalion of the Zhang Jiao Army, Zhuang Shaoyou trained soldiers in the school field, and Qin Ling next to him was reporting in a low voice

"Report to the general, in recent days, the army of General Rengong's camp has been frequently moved, and the news of General Digong's office is tightly sealed, and our scouts can't get close, but there are frequent scouts coming and going here. In addition, after a large number of officers and troops were stationed in Quliang City half a month ago, they began to blockade the west, and according to the scouts, the official army seemed to have moved the day before yesterday, and the blockade line advanced fifty miles in the direction of our army in the northeast. ”

After waving back Qinling, Zhuang Shaoyou was upset, the arrival of the official army was expected, no matter how tightly the official and military news was blocked, he couldn't stop him, an uncertain prophet, Huangfu Song was a famous general in the late Han Dynasty, that is, he broke Yingchuan Bocai, and then broke Zhang Liang and destroyed Zhang Bao, this is a ruthless man, he is still too tender compared to him, he has to be careful to hide his strength.

It's really normal for Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang to take action, Zhang Jiao is a matter of time, with Mei Niang here, he can get the news as soon as possible and prepare early, but Zhang Yan's attitude is unclear, if he suddenly makes trouble? What to do?

Never mind! There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the preparations have already been made, and the rest is to wait.

…………

Inside the big tent

Zhang Yan and Zhang Ning were next to Zhang Jiao's bed, Zhang Jiao had been in a coma for three days, and no matter how he rescued him, he couldn't wake up. Zhang Ning's eyes were red, and he cried in a low voice beside him. Zhang Yan's face was expressionless, but her gaze kept shifting between Zhang Jiao and Zhang Ning, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Suddenly, Zhang Jiao's head trembled, his eyes slowly opened, and when he saw Zhang Jiao wake up, Zhang Ning stepped forward to hug him excitedly, Zhang Yan also immediately cast his gaze over, and took a few steps forward, Zhang Jiao glanced at Zhang Yan with difficulty, and said: "You step back first, I have something to say to Mei Niang alone." ”

Although Zhang Yan was reluctant, she still retreated to the door of the tent.

"Daddy! You're going to be fine, you're going to be fine! Zhang Ning said excitedly

"Hehe, silly girl, of course my dad is fine, my dad will overthrow the court and establish a peaceful and prosperous world in the world, my dad is the founding emperor!" Speaking of this, Zhang Jiao's eyes showed a strange brilliance, and then dimmed, and said to Zhang Ning with difficulty: "Mei Niang, dad still has one more thing, you go and ask Zhuang Shaoyou, can he still do what he promised me?" ”

"Dad, what's the matter? Shall I ask later? My daughter is here to accompany you! Zhang Ning was a little reluctant

Zhang Jiao frowned slightly, and said anxiously: "Go!" Just go! Otherwise, Daddy won't be blind! Go ahead! ”

Zhang Ning looked at Zhang Jiao reluctantly, and was urged to hurry out of the big tent and go to the cavalry camp.

When Zhang Yan saw Zhang Ning come out, she was very puzzled, hesitated, did not stop her, but hurriedly entered the tent to see Zhang Jiao's situation.

On the soft collapse in the tent, Zhang Jiao actually sat up, tidied up his clothes, looked at Zhang Yan with bright eyes, and smiled: "I know you hate me." ”

Zhang Yan was taken aback and hurriedly explained: "The last general will not dare!" ”

"Hehe, hate it, hate it, Mei Niang doesn't like you, and I can't help it." Zhang Jiao said casually

When Zhang Yan heard the word Mei Niang, she was immediately furious and said loudly: "How can you have no choice!" You're her father, and you have the right to call the shots, but you don't do it! ”

"I only have such a daughter, her mother died early, and I owe her too much since I was a child, I won't force her to do anything, not to mention that the Yellow Turban Army is also over!" After Zhang Jiao finished speaking, his eyes were full of endless loneliness, is the hero at the end of the road?

Zhang Yan frantically stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Jiao's collar and said: "It's all you, I was born and died for you, loyal, in the end it's not as good as a stinky boy who came out halfway, everything about you is mine, including Mei Niang, it's also mine!" ”

Zhang Jiao didn't answer, just looked at him with a smile, and then his eyes slowly closed, losing his lustre.

A generation of heroes, dreams are shattered, the oil is exhausted, and they pass away suddenly, and the aftermath will be handled by the people behind them!
