Chapter 50: Visitors from Luoyang

After Zhu Junhuang Fuchong received the news of Cao Cao's recovery of Runan, he led the Han army to Wancheng, and did not commit any crimes in the autumn along the way, and regathered the people who suffered from the Yellow Turban bandits, and escorted them to the larger city, Bo Cai led the troops to rob in Jingzhou, and did all kinds of evil, as for Wancheng, there are only a few people guarding it now, if you can take the opportunity to beat him down, and then surround Bocai and others, so that you can completely solve the Yellow Turban Army south of the Yellow River.

"General Zhu, now that Runan City is broken, the Yellow Turban Army must be scared and dare not come out to do evil again, I think we should directly fight with Bo Cai, only in this way can we quickly eliminate them!" Huangfu Chong said to Zhu Jun, after all, these battles have relied on Sun Jian's bravery, and now Sun Jian is powerful and has prestige in the army, wouldn't it be better if he eliminated Bocai in one fell swoop

"Well, in fact, I also want to decide the winner in a battle, but I'm afraid that this wave will not allow it, and now he is robbing Jingzhou, how can I let him come back? If we really knock Wancheng down, then Tabo is causing trouble in Jingzhou, wouldn't this be a tiger returning to the mountain! "Zhu Jun is a little embarrassed, now Bo Cai has 30,000 or 40,000 cavalry, and he is very mobile, if he is determined to go around in circles with himself, it will be really difficult to deal with.

"What then? Why don't you besiege the city first and wait for him to come back and fight? Huangfu Chongdao, in fact, he just wanted to kill them in advance, and then go north to Jizhou to deal with the three Zhang Jiao brothers, after all, that is the real thief leader, and the heads of the three of them are really valuable.

"Alas, we can't catch up and catch up, let's take a look at the situation in Wancheng first, after all, a lot of people from Runan have fled, I hope to fight a little easier, otherwise there will be nothing for you and me on the battlefield in Jizhou" Zhu Jun quipped

"That's better, it's better that there is no war in the whole world, and then we can also practice calligraphy, play the piano, raise a flower, and fight a fish, how much more leisurely! Haha" Huangfu Chong laughed at the end, this kind of day is really good, but now I can only think about it, even if the fight is really over, it is estimated that there will not be many peaceful days.

"Hehe, hopefully! By the way, let's attack Wancheng first, just take a gamble and see if Bocai will come back to help? Zhu Jun said with a smile

The Han army surrounded Wancheng for three days in a row, and it seemed that it was going to knock Wancheng down in one go, killing Han Zhong and Zhao Hong, the two of them were disgraced, and the two of them did not have many troops, fortunately, the terrain of Wancheng was steep, and Zhu Jun and the two put most of their energy on dealing with Bocai in the back, which allowed Wancheng to hold on for a few months, if Bocai did not come to support, I am afraid that this city would not be able to hold for long.

"General Han, Bo Shuai asked us to defend the city, but now that the Han army is fighting so fiercely, how can we defend it?" Zhao Hong was very tired, he was already very tired just dealing with Sun Jian, and the Han army secretly rushed to the city in the middle of the night in order to prevent the scene of Xuchang from recurring yesterday. They have been attacking, not giving them time to deal with the defense at all, although there are some rolling logs and stones on the city wall, but by the time they want to dig tunnels and trap pits, time is not allowed.

"I can only defend to the death, if I go out to engage in a sneak attack at this time, I am looking for death, I can only hope that Bo Shuai will return to help sooner, after all, the defense of this little force in our hands is still a little insufficient!" Han Zhong also has no other way, although he has some methods, but he has no manpower. The Han army is not a defender in other places, these are people who have been on the battlefield for a long time, and Zhu Jun Huangfu Chong is also a famous general of the Han Dynasty, and he has his own set of marches and battles, and he will not be fooled by himself so easily.

"It's only like this, let's guard it first, I'll take someone to dig the tunnel, just like Xuchang, add processing to see if I can dig it early, now it's just digging the city gate, I'm afraid they've been attacking the city like this, sister, there aren't many people every time they come, and they don't attack much, just drag it like this, it's really a headache!" Zhao Hongdao

"Well, let's not talk about this for now, while they don't come up, let's rest and rest first, and tell the brothers, defend the city well, Bo Shuai is already on the way." In the end, after Han Zhong finished speaking, he fell asleep, and he had to hurry up to recover his strength, otherwise he would be exhausted to death.

After Bocai received the news, he hurried back, originally from Xinye to Wancheng The distance was not far, but Cheng Pu was ambushed in the middle, just waiting for Bocai to arrive, first give him a dismount, but Bocai suffered a lot, and now he has experience, divided the army into two parts, the first 3,000 people went to support Wancheng on the original road, requiring them to be cautious on the road, as the task of the vanguard is to explore the road, and he personally led the troops from Xuchang to bypass, directly to the back of the Han army, due to Cheng Pu's misjudgment, Thinking that Bocai would attack on the same road, he let go of three thousand military horses, and the Han army also stepped into a pocket formation in the south, but Bocai suddenly killed the army from behind, in the open space outside the city, the power of the cavalry charge was vividly embodied, and the Han army that killed ran everywhere, Bocai and the three thousand soldiers and horses attacked back and forth, breaking Zhu Jun's encirclement in one fell swoop, breaking his conspiracy to lure Bocai with the city, and now the initiative of Wancheng is in the hands of Bocai, Bocai arranges cavalry to attack from the city at any time, and leaves with a charge, did not fight with Sun Jian and them, that is, to use the advantage of cavalry to fight the Han army, so the two sides were deadlocked, and finally the Han army gathered in one place, no longer scattered, that is, gathered at the south city gate, intending to use manpower to make up for the lack of troops.

"Mr. Guo, shall we go back?" Zhao Yun looked at Guo Jiadao, he has only been out for about a month, he has fought a few battles large and small, but he has gained a lot of people, Zhao Yun looked at the more than 6,000 people behind him and was a little helpless, these are all former grass bandits, and now they are all trained by themselves to be obedient, this month they have searched the mountains for Guo Jia to explore the way, but they have tossed them a lot, and now they dare not say anything else, just say that they are very good at exploring the terrain and hiding their whereabouts.

"Well, the terrain of Youzhou in Jizhou has been explored, and we should go back to prepare, now that the Yellow Turban Army elsewhere is about to be wiped out, I think we should go back and prepare for a decisive battle!" Guo Jia said, carrying the wine jug and about to drink, but he smiled bitterly and threw it aside, because he drank all the wine he brought yesterday.

Zhao Yun saw this action, his brows jumped, what detection is finished, isn't it already done, originally planned to quietly fight with Zhang Bao in the past few days, and now he wants to go back, Zhao Yun is very suspicious, the reason why Guo Jia went back is because he has no alcohol to drink! "Then let's not deal with Zhang Bao first? After all, this is a good opportunity! "Zhao Yundao, when they were exploring the terrain, they suddenly found a warehouse in the dark of Zhang Bao, there was nothing else in it, just piles of medicinal herbs and farm tools, these things are of little use to Zhang Bao now, but for Chang Shan, they are the most urgently needed materials.

"There will be no hurry for a while, now is not the farming season, let's go back first, bring some soldiers back to transport these things back, with us people, there is no way to transport them away, we can't carry a little bit alone!" Guo Jia smiled, and at the same time felt like a cat's paw scratching, what he wanted most now was to go back and drink him well.

"Haha!" Zhao Yun can be regarded as having seen through Guo Jia, and couldn't help laughing, "Let's go, then go back, go back and lead the troops back, but Mr. Guo, you have to walk for a day or two on the way back, how can this be done?" ”

"Alas! It's not like that! It's all to blame on the lord, I didn't have such a big alcohol addiction before! Guo Jia also joked and said with a wry smile, after all, after drinking this wine, it is really impossible to drink other wines, otherwise you can just buy some wine.

"Haha!" Zhao Yun laughed, "Give!" As he spoke, he threw Guo Jia a pot of old wine, "This is given to me by my eldest brother, saying that when I come back, Mr. Guo can use it!" Haha"

"Alas! This lord really looks at me to death! Guo Jia hurriedly took it, took a sip, and said helplessly, this state made a group of people laugh,

"Mr. Guo, then let's go!" Zhao Yun looked at Guo Jia, who was there with the old god, and said with a black line

"Yes, yes, go back to the city, hurry back! Ha ha! A group of people walked to Changshan with such a swagger, and the big Zhao flag fluttered in the wind, it was so calm! Along the way, no one dared to make trouble, even Zhang Bao saw it, and he stomped his feet angrily, after all, Zhao Yun left a deep impression on him!

Chengfeng, who is far away in Changshan, is practicing at this time, Zhao Yun has really stimulated him several times, seeing that the gap between himself and Zhao Yun is getting bigger and bigger, Chengfeng is also vigilant, although there are so many generals who work hard with him, but he has to be hard to strike iron, if he doesn't have a strong ability, he will be nothing in the end. Cheng Feng worked hard to search for the halberd, marksmanship, and axe of the future generations from his head, and planned to create his own set of genres! Chengfeng fused the halberd method and marksmanship of all the famous generals known in later generations to create their own moves, which is very difficult, after all, they only know a name, but the specific moves are not understood, so they have to explore by themselves, and they learn from them on weekdays, they all have a back hand, and they will not play a dead hand, there is no effect at all, just to make themselves more familiar with how to use the halberd, for the improvement of their own ability, it has little effect. Chengfeng's halberd was shocked, and he first moved his body, since this halberd is called the Yanlong Zhantian Halberd, it must be reassuring that the hardness can be assured. Cheng Feng first opened and closed for a while, and used the halberd as a big knife and axe, and the ground was a mess of rocks and clouds, and it was not long before the garden was full of gravel, but Cheng Feng didn't plan to stop, and he didn't know what was going on today, he just wanted to practice the halberd, Cheng Feng played brute force for a while, and then used the halberd to practice marksmanship, he was most familiar with Zhao Yun's marksmanship and Luo Cheng's return horse gun in later generations, but one was used to charge the battle and one could only be used to counterkill! Cheng Feng and Zhao Yun exchanged martial arts with each other, their own guns and halberds feel different, marksmanship is elegant and sharp, guns are simple and easy to use, this halberd has a lot of moves can not be used, it is awkward to make it, Cheng Feng removed all the unsuitable moves, only keep the easy to use moves, with a halberd all kinds of combat, is to see what kind of moves can be practiced in the end, and finally this goods are completely released, and they actually use the halberd to practice the Tai Chi halberd, this is an innovation, Tai Chi makes him breathe constantly, I have more strength to support myself, but it was still very difficult at the beginning, and after a while, Cheng Feng felt that his arms were numb and his breath was a little chaotic, so he stopped at this time, otherwise he would have injured himself! In this way, the practice stopped.,Chengfeng practiced for most of the day.,It didn't stop until the night.,But the harvest is also great.,I've slowly begun to be able to mix and use various moves.,And I can do it out of order and re-use!

"Lord!" Zhang Liao suddenly broke into the hall of Cheng Feng, Cheng Feng had just eaten at this time, and was planning to study the legendary Liutao, after all, it is still good to read more! "Wen Yuan, what's the alarm?" Seeing Zhang Liao like this, Cheng Feng was a little strange, after all, this person was very calm and calm.

"Lord, there are five people from outside the city, saying that they are going to enter the city, and they don't say who they are, but only say that they want you to meet them in person, saying that you will know when you see them!" Zhang Liao said helplessly

"Oh! Have you ever asked where it came from? "Cheng Feng is a little confused, how can this still be mysterious

"Said it was from Luoyang!" Zhang Liao said, "Lord, do you have any friends in Luoyang or something!" Zhang Liao asked uncertainly

"No, I just know a Yuan Shao Cao Cao, these two people are now leading troops to fight and playing, I guess I don't have time to come to me, besides, even if they come, they won't come with just a few people, this Cao Cao is suspicious, then Yuan Shao probably doesn't look down on us people!" Cheng Feng said with a smile, "Wen Yuan, let's not guess, let's go and take a look, otherwise let others say that we don't understand hospitality, how bad it will be to spread it!" You're right? Cheng Feng said as he walked out, he wanted to see who it was, and as he walked, he thought to himself, could it be him?

Watching Cheng Feng walk out, Zhang Liao hurriedly followed, muttering in his heart as he walked, just you, eat people without spitting out bones, are you still afraid of people's jokes? But this person from Luoyang is different, the shelf is very big, I have never seen this kind of person until now, so I said so many words, no matter how I asked, I didn't talk!

When Chengfeng arrived at the city gate, he sighed in his heart, just five or six people, riding horses and now under the city wall, others could not see clearly in the dark, but the people under the light Chengfeng could recognize it, it turned out to be Wang Yue, the royal swordsman of His Majesty today, seeing that it was he Chengfeng who understood who was coming, and hurriedly opened the city gate to greet him, I was afraid that something would happen too late, and at the same time, I also had a little more admiration for this absurd and unscrupulous Majesty!

"The minister is a feudal greeting to your majesty, long live, long live, long live!" When he arrived in the hall, Cheng Feng saluted Emperor Ling, and at the same time sighed in his heart, sure enough, the people in the high position are not ordinary people, the courage and style of doing things are unknown to others, and even their thoughts are not understood by ordinary people!

"Hehe, Cheng Feng, don't be polite, there are no outsiders here, you just kill me and others don't know! Haha" Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty didn't have the shelf of other emperors, and smiled at Cheng Feng with a smile, these words can startle Cheng Feng, this pit really can't chat, and even if he has the heart, he can't kill you here! "Your Majesty's words are serious, don't make jokes about the ministers!" Cheng Feng hurriedly said

"Okay, I'm here to take a look at you this time, and I'll ask you something by the way!" Emperor Ling said with a smile, as soon as these words came out, Cheng Feng's heart was shocked, it seems that this majesty is not so mediocre and incompetent, but there must be something important to come here alone, so Cheng Feng hurriedly listened to him, because he felt that he was finally going to enter the circle of the highest level of power.

"You have a complaint, I have pressed you many times to prevent you from sending troops!" Emperor Ling asked with a smile

"No, absolutely not, the minister knows that His Majesty cherishes the minister and doesn't want the minister to lose!" Cheng Feng hurriedly spoke, joking, even if he has complaints, he can't admit it!

"Hehe, in fact, I don't have so many ideas, just to simply press you, do you know, now that the Yellow Turban Army is rioting, all the forces in the DPRK and China have only twisted into a rope to deal with them, but they have also taken the opportunity to develop their own forces, and now they have reached a situation of mutual balance. You also know that I can be the Son of Heaven, relying on the power of eunuchs, so I have to be restrained by them in many things, and the two party battles have consumed a lot of their strength, and now the scholars and eunuchs have reconciled, and it is a good ending to deal with Zhang Jiao together. Emperor Ling said slowly, what he said can only be listened to, as for the real situation, everyone knows, I believe that even His Majesty himself knows.

"But these are all illusions of troubled times, I know and understand, since Emperor Guangwu established the Han Dynasty, they have been under the influence of the family, and now they are still controlling the situation, and even this Yellow Turban Rebellion is indispensable to their fuel, so I want to cultivate my own forces, and you are the one I choose!" Emperor Ling said bluntly, after all, the two of them are here now, there is no need to hide it.

"Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, the minister will definitely be full of liver and brains, and I have repaid Your Majesty's kindness!" Cheng Feng hurriedly expressed his loyalty, and His Majesty the Emperor said it in his heart, and if he didn't express it, it would be a bit unreasonable.

"Hehe, don't be so polite, although you have achieved something now, but it is not enough to shake the two mountains of the eunuchs of the family, so you can't let you compete with them, in order to protect you, I have to suppress you many times, not to expose you to their sight, I can see that you hate the family, so I want you to save your strength, and it will be of great use in the future, but I didn't expect you to be famous now, and your Changshan has become a paradise for the Han, which really caught me off guard!" Emperor Han Ling smiled bitterly, it is really impermanent, he originally planned to let Cheng Feng be clumsy, but he didn't expect him to become a celebrity of the Han Dynasty.

"This minister didn't expect that the minister just did what he could for the people of the Han Dynasty!" Cheng Feng said with some embarrassment

"Haha, since that's the case, then I won't suppress you anymore, now I'm here to tell you clearly, this Zhang Jiao three brothers, you have to destroy them for me, and then you will secretly develop forces for me, and when I need it, I want you to shock the four wilds!" Emperor Ling smiled

"Your Majesty! Obey! Cheng Feng said excitedly, no matter what His Majesty said is true or not, as long as he doesn't suspect himself.

"By the way, I think your Changshan is developing very well, do you have any way to talk about it, how can you weaken the power of the family in the court, now the entire court is dominated by eunuchs and families, I am just an ornament!" The Spirit Emperor said helplessly

"Establish a private school and open a system of imperial examinations!" Cheng Feng thought about it and said truthfully, after all, this is the only way to break the monopoly of the family, although there will be other party disputes, but it can allow many people with real talent and learning to get a piece of the world.

"Is it just like you Changshan?" Emperor Ling has also heard of Chengfeng's Changshan, and he also knows this, but he has not had the opportunity to implement it for a while, but after today's look, he thinks this method is not bad, and Chengfeng can't think of it, this emperor is really resolute, and the next day after going back, he made a Hongdu Gate School, let schools be built in various places, and recruit students, but he didn't wait for him to see the results, and he went to meet the ancestors and ancestors first.

"Yes! Your Majesty! ”

"Well, I'll go back and think about it! Okay, don't say anything about me this time, even if I'm not there in the future, you will remove the two mountains of the family and the eunuch for me! Emperor Ling said solemnly

"Obey! But Your Majesty should rest here for a few days, and take a look at the customs of Changshan! Cheng Feng hurriedly said

"Hehe, don't forget that my fiefdom used to be in Jizhou, okay, I have to go back, so I won't live! If I have a chance in the future, I will come back for a few more days! The Spirit Emperor smiled,

"The minister personally sent His Majesty back to the palace!" Cheng Feng said, he has to order troops, after all, this is His Majesty the Emperor, if there is a little mistake, then he will not be able to wash himself by jumping into the Yellow River.

"No need, I have Wang Yue, you can go to the whole world, but I didn't see my peerless Marquis Zhao Yun, it's a pity!" Emperor Ling said with some regret

"Zilong went out to practice, in this way, I will let Zilong enter the palace another day, and Your Majesty can see him!" Cheng Feng said with a smile

"Hmmm! That's it, don't say anything, let's go quietly" After speaking, Emperor Ling walked out of the hall. Cheng Feng was sent all the way out of the city, watching five people galloping towards Luoyang on horseback, Cheng Feng couldn't calm down for a long time, feeling that his head was not enough, this was really like a dream!
