Chapter 67: Connected to the Same Fate
Three days have passed since the first battle of Guangzong, Zhang Jiao's achievements are obvious to all, Cao Cao and others lost 100,000 soldiers and horses, and now they are gathered together, pack up the remnants of the army, rectify the soldiers, and plan to join forces with Yuan Shao, Lu Zhi and others to attack the city. Now there is not much time left before the March period stipulated by the Spirit Emperor! Every time he thinks of the scene of the Shadow Army's rush to kill, Zhu Jun shudders, he has been leading the troops for many years, there have been no less than 100 battles large and small, and he has never seen such a fierce and vicious army, looking at the remnants of the battalion now defeated, Zhu Jun took a deep breath, this group of people has been destroyed by Zhang Jiao, and now they are all frightened, for fear that Zhang Jiao will kill again, and they already have a shadow in their hearts for the Yellow Turban Army! "General Huangfu, you see that now, the morale is low, and if we don't want to do anything, the morale of this army will be scattered!" Looking at the very spectacular Jingguan in the distance, Zhu Jun sighed, very dissatisfied in his heart, if it wasn't for the last time this Huangfu Chong made a Jingguan, this corner would not have taken revenge on himself so much!
"Yes! I really didn't expect this Zhangjiao's troops to be so able to fight, it's different from Yingchuan Runan, it's really a trouble now, we don't have the people we want to match, it seems that we can only meet with General Lu Zhi, and then discuss countermeasures. It's just the March period given by His Majesty, and now it's been a month, and I'm afraid we won't be able to train troops that can compete with him in two months! Huangfu Chong worried, now I really regret it, I knew that I would not advocate the siege of the city, now it's good, I was caught off guard, not only did not take advantage of it, but even the capital was put in, this finally saved more than 100,000 horses, and in a blink of an eye, it became 20,000, it was really hard work for decades, once back to before liberation!
"The two generals don't have to worry! I think Zhang Jiao is also these elite soldiers, as long as we take strict precautions and don't let him Zhang Jiao break through, there will still be a chance to compete with him, and although the morale of the remaining people is a little low, they are all elites, if there is another war, I don't think they will be killed so easily! Sun Jian hurriedly stood up and spoke at this time, he saw that the two old generals were a little depressed, so he hurriedly cheered up, cheered up, if the boss was cowardly, how to fight below, as for this selfishness, Sun Jian also has it, if you don't dare to fight, you advocate attacking, isn't this unique, if you win the battle in the future, you will be the mainstay of turning the tide! Some people will say that if you lose, you will lose if you lose, anyway, now you are losing, at most the above two people are in the top cylinder, but you have no loss, and you can be promoted to the next level and become the next seal. Thinking of Cheng Feng, Sun Jian's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and said, "Oh, two adults, how can we forget about Cheng Da, didn't he defeat Zhang Jiao?" We can borrow troops from him! ”
As soon as these words came out, Cao Cao almost laughed, this Sun Jian is really simple and cute, what kind of person is Chengfeng, better than ghosts, you just came to the house to remind you, this horn is not easy to fight, at that time, they all thought that people were afraid of being robbed of the credit by these people, so they said so, all of them were said to be angry, this fight, was woken up by Zhang Jiao, it hurt, and then remembered to find Chengfeng, the grain and grass given by people were not guarded, how embarrassed to find someone to ask for soldiers, besides, why should people give you soldiers! Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but speak, "I said generals, Chengfeng and Zhangjiao are next to each other, but there is only one battle, which shows that both sides are not sure to defeat each other, and now Chengfeng is building Julu City and relocating refugees, and there are no extra soldiers to lend to us, as for asking him to send troops, although we have so many people combined, although the soldiers are not good, but there are more or less more than 100,000, how embarrassed to speak, are we all wine bags and rice bags, it is not as good as his soldiers and horses." It's not good to hear this out, won't it become a joke in the future when the elite soldiers of the West Garden, the elite division of the Han Dynasty, make His Majesty the Spirit Emperor have no light on his face! ”
"Meng De's words are also reasonable, we are all eating the imperial court, this is a defeat and we are afraid, how bad it is to spread out, I want to see that we still have to come by ourselves, now Meng De still has 60,000 elite soldiers, we still have 20,000 in the West Garden, plus 30,000 or 40,000 hand-controlled, there are almost 112,000 horses, it is still okay to deal with him Zhang Jiao, this has the experience of going to the battlefield, and I will slowly get used to it in the future, and I will not be so helpless when I fight again! I believe that if we fight a few more battles with Zhang Jiao and them, we will grow rapidly. During this period, I will bother the generals to work hard, after all, the morale is low now, and the most important thing for us is to stabilize the morale of this army first! Zhu Jun said
Now that the matter has been decided, Sun Jian no longer insists on asking for a seal, but for this morale, the most direct and effective way is to win a few battles, but looking at the current situation, it is a little difficult! "Don't you know what the generals have to do to boost their morale?" Just when Sun Jian was thinking about it, Zhu Jun asked with a smile, in fact, he didn't have any way, this fact is all here, there is no other way except to fight hard, as for whether he can win or not, then there is no need to say more, if he can win now, it will be hell!
"Judging from the current situation, this elite division should be Zhang Jiao's men and horses, and it is the trump card of the Yellow Turban Army, and this Zhang Bao now occupies Xia Quyang, and he will not be able to attack it for a while, and the easiest thing to deal with is Zhang Liang, with my understanding of Zhang Liang, Zhang Jiao will definitely not give this Shadow Army to Zhang Liang to command, so at present, the only thing we can do is Zhang Liang, but it is impossible to lure Zhang Liang out of the city without a good way!" Cao Cao frowned and thought about it and said
"Hmmm! Meng De is right, then let's sum up how to lure Zhang Liang out to fight, now the soldiers can basically stabilize, and the rest depends on how we operate! "The emperor said
No matter how they discussed seducing Zhang Liang, the shadow army's work spread quickly, and when the news reached Luoyang, Emperor Ling looked at the battle report and was speechless for a long time, this group of people is really worrying, a good advantage is a disadvantage, it really fucking makes people angry, originally Emperor Ling wanted to click a few people, but when I think about the officials of the Han Dynasty who have nothing to do with the family, there are only three or four, if I behead Emperor Zhu Junhuang Fu Chong, then there will be no one available, thinking that this Emperor Ling not only did not punish them, On the contrary, it was a comfort, and even rewarded a lot of things, even Zhang Rang didn't understand what was going on!
"Your Majesty, the battle situation in Jizhou is so complicated, no one thought that Zhang Jiao would have such a force, and now it is a little difficult to handle! Or Your Majesty will let Cheng Feng send troops again, didn't he repel Zhang Jiao last time? Zhang Rang took the opportunity to speak, but this Zhang Rang is not worried about the country and the people, but is uneasy and kind, since he knew that Cheng Feng was not his own person, he was always thinking about weakening his strength, he knew that the last time Cheng Feng defeated was just an ordinary Yellow Turban Army, for this Shadow Army, Cheng Feng did not take advantage, now there is such a good opportunity, of course he wants them to kill each other!
"This soldier is a major event of the country, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, the most taboo is the chaotic command, especially the chaotic command thousands of miles away, you know what the battlefield situation, you dare to assign soldiers and horses at will, now Chengfeng captures Julu, provides food and grass for the entire Jizhou Han army, and how to send troops, it's really nonsense!" Emperor Ling glanced at Zhang Rang coldly, and said with an emotionless face, If you deal with people from a family under normal circumstances, I would have endured it, but now you are aiming the gun at the people you have cultivated, that is, the uncle can bear it and the aunt can not bear it!
Seeing Emperor Ling's attitude towards himself, Zhang Rang's face also changed greatly, it seems that this seal is Emperor Ling's reverse scales, and he will have no way to frame him in the future, so he can only please him, thinking of this Zhang Rang hurriedly saluted and admitted his mistake, as for what he thought in his heart, that is only he knows! Seeing Zhang Rang's attitude, Emperor Ling didn't say much, after all, he relied on him to become the emperor, so he had to wave his hand to send him down, but recently he was quite happy, Chengfeng's Danfang is still quite effective, especially recently I feel energetic, the concubines in this harem are all radiant and radiant, especially Queen He, who is pregnant, this is really a great joy! However, when I thought of this Emperor Ling, I felt a little hot all over my body, and I happened to meet a palace maid who came to deliver tea, and Emperor Lingdi didn't say a word, but picked it up and pressed it down on the main hall, and for a time the whole hall was full of spring!
Yuan Shao of Yecheng has been a little happy recently, the last time Cao Cao came, he mocked himself, saying that he was useless, and leading the troops was to gild, saying that he could only send him a dozen dancing girls in the end, and planned to see him laugh, after all, he and he were small, and Cao Cao's hobbies were clear, these people were all widows who were carefully selected by themselves, just to tease Cao Cao, but they didn't expect to be beaten by Zhang Jiao now, and it is said that he was beaten in when Cao Cao was watching the dance, Now Yuan Shao is happy when he thinks about it, and he finally has a bad breath! "Haha, Cao Mengde, Cao Mengde, you also have today, haha!" Looking at Yuan Shao, who was laughing, he was a little speechless, this Han army was defeated, why are you so excited, if this is spread out, it will not be remarkable.
"Lord, now is not the time to be happy, this Han army has been defeated, Zhang Jiao may send troops to attack at any time, we should seize the time to organize our troops and actively defend!" Frustrated professor hurriedly spoke
"Hmmm! Not bad! Now is indeed not the time to be happy, this General Zhu Jun and his army are resting outside, it can be said that there is no danger to defend, as the nearest ally, we should give support, but now we don't have many people, even if I am afraid that the past will be useless! "Yuan Shao also knows that he can't lose his temper anymore, otherwise it will have a bad impact!" Look at how this goes, let's defend Yecheng and discuss with them, so that their army can camp as close to Yecheng as possible, so that there is something to support quickly! Yuan Shao thought about it and said, although there is some truth in it, but more of it still wants to keep warm!
"There's no other way, I can only do this first, I'm afraid they agree, there aren't many places near Yecheng for them to camp, and if they really come, then they will attract Zhang Jiao's attention to Yecheng!" Frustration said, now when I think of the magnificent Jingguan, Frustration can wake up in a dream, it is too ferocious, it is simply inhumane! In the end, Yuan Shao also sent someone to communicate with Zhu Jun, and the two parties cooperated, and the province was broken by Zhang Jiao alone!
Cheng Feng in Julu City is looking at the scenery at the head of the city, and his mouth is still singing and calling Xiaofan, although Zhang Liao doesn't know what it means, but it still sounds good, but I don't know where this cheap lord got so many strange things, not to mention anything else, that is, he got this recliner, it is still very comfortable, looking at Cheng Feng's leisurely appearance, Zhang Liao is also drunk, why is he so good at enjoying pinching! "Lord!" In the distance, Tian Yu trotted all the way, tired and panting, sweating profusely, it was not an ordinary thing to make Tian Yu lose his temper so much. Zhang Liao hurriedly went over and continued, you must know that although Tian Yu's force value is not very outstanding, he can be regarded as an excellent general, and this physical strength is naturally not enough. "Lord Tian, what's wrong?" Before Zhang Liao could speak, Cheng Feng smiled, he was also a little strange, even the last time he saw the huge amount of money from the giant deer, Tian Yu was not so anxious!
"Lord, it's not good, Zhang Jiao killed the Han army, slaughtered more than 100,000 Han troops, and now set up a Jingguan outside Guangzong City!" Tian Yu said anxiously
"What!" Cheng Feng jumped up from the recliner and said in a lost voice, "Isn't there more than 200,000 in this Han army?" How did you get defeated so quickly! Cheng Feng was a little puzzled
"Alas! The Han army was besieged for a few days without incident, and I don't know what Zhang Jiao suddenly went crazy, three days ago he suddenly launched a surprise attack, and the Han army that was directly killed retreated, even Cao Cao was not spared, he was almost killed by the shadows, and now the Han army is rectifying, and I don't know how long it can last! Tian Yu sighed, and he didn't understand in his heart, how could so many people lose so quickly!
"Hmph, the defeat is like a mountain, the combat effectiveness of the Shadow Army is higher than that of the Han Army, and it is a surprise attack, so it is reasonable to defeat them stupidly!" Zhang Liao said next to him, he had fought with the Shadow Army, and knew that they were indeed powerful, even if he was raided by them, it was estimated that he could only retreat!
"Wen Yuan is right, this Shadow Army is indeed powerful, it seems that we have to be cautious, by the way, what happened to the White Tiger Army formed by Wen Yuan?" Cheng Feng said suddenly, after the end of the last war, he set out to let Zhao Yun, Zhang He, and Zhang Liao each form elite soldiers, which is convenient for future mobilization, but he has been busy rectifying government affairs recently, and he didn't ask much!
"Eight thousand centaurs have been selected, although they can be called!" Zhang Liao hurriedly replied, this is what Cheng Feng ordered, Zhang Liao will definitely not slack off, "That's good, you usually train more, now in addition to the God of War Army, only the White Tiger Army is a long-time battle-hardened person, so they are the main force in recent times!" Now that we are defending two cities, we are already scattered forces, and if we are attacked by Zhang Jiao, it will be weak, so I want you to be even more powerful than the Shadow Army! "Cheng Fengdao, he is very relieved of Zhang Liao, especially Zhang Liao's ability and character, which have been verified by history!
"Yes, my lord! But what do we do now? Zhang Liao was a little worried, now Zhang Jiao's morale is high, the Han army not only did not help, but instead created momentum for the Yellow Turban Army, it is really not enough to succeed and more than to lose! Hearing this, Tian Yu also looked at Chengfeng, he also knew that if he was not careful now, he might lose his efforts, although Chengfeng had an army of 100,000, but the one that could compete with the Shadow Army head-on was forty or fifty thousand, and the rest were people who had not gone through the war, if they really fought with the Shadow Army, the result would not be much stronger than the Han Army!
"It's okay, the number of people is not enough, the equipment will be made up, in this way, while there is now the Han army to contain Zhang Jiao, let's hurry up and build weapons and equipment, this bow and crossbow is equipped with five hundred per legion, five hundred sets of conjoined armor per army, two thousand light cavalry, and the rest are equipped with standard weapons according to personal ability, and from tomorrow onwards, the arms will cooperate with the combat drill, and strive to build your White Tiger Army first!" Cheng Feng opened his mouth and said, otherwise it would be too troublesome to have his own God of War Army to fight every time!
"Yes!" The two replied, they have no other way, saying that the sky is broken, the situation is not as good as people, there is no use for any strategy, there is not much steep terrain near this Guangzong, and it is a big summer, many tactics of war cannot be used, and they can only rely on people to fight, which is also the reason why Zhuge Wuhou failed every Northern Expedition in the previous life, no matter how many methods you have, once Cao Wei's army arrives, isn't it all in vain!
"Let's do this first, and let these refugees who have recovered their strength go to build a city, give them the treatment of Changshan, and officially settle down in Julu! In this way, they will work together to protect the giant deer and build the giant deer! Cheng Feng thought for a while and said, then sent the two of them to work, and continued Ge You to lie on the rocking chair, and soon there was a burst of singing on the city wall, "The peach leaf is sharp, and the willow leaf covers the sky!" Zhang Liaotian Yu who listened downstairs was speechless, only sweating a thousand lines!
Lu Zhi, who was far away in Zhongshan, received the news of Zhu Jun's defeat, and was speechless for a long time, but he didn't expect his two old friends, old brothers, and old comrades-in-arms to escape Zhang Jiao's poisonous hands. Lu Zhi smiled a little bitterly in his heart, now the two of them are not embarrassed, and they also know the power of the Jizhou Yellow Turban Army, but it's a pity that these 100,000 Han soldiers were sacrificed in vain, and they were made into Jingguan, which is really a pity!
"Alas, sympathy, now you know that Lao Tzu is not easy!" Lu Zhi looked at the information in his hand and smiled bitterly, and at the same time he was glad in his heart, fortunately Zhang Jiao didn't attack him, otherwise he would have become a corpse a long time ago, thinking of this Lu Zhi was afraid for a while, and at the same time admired Cheng Feng even more, after all, he was the only one who won the battle! Lu Zhi arranged for everyone to prevent Zhang Bao's sneak attack, and he hurriedly found Liu Bei and a few people to discuss, now he can only rely on this cheap student, since the last battle, he has become more and more aware of the importance of peerless generals, it is really easy to use!
