Chapter 18 Zhang Liao's Training
"Zhang Sima, don't come unharmed" Wang Gang hugged his fists. made a salute, and still respected Zhang Liao.
"Wang Sima, Shibei for three days, when you look at each other, you and I are already at the same level, there is no need to salute" After speaking, Zhang Liao also hugged his fists and returned a salute.
"How could Sima Zhang appear here," Wang Gang asked with some confusion.
"Dai County has been lost, I and a few others desperately escaped, I want to come to the county has been martyred" Zhang Liao said that he was inevitably a little sad when he said this, because he was able to take up the post of Sima at such a young age because he was heavily guarded by Yanmen County.
"How could it be so fast, the high walls of Dai County are deep, how could it be broken in just half a month"
Immediately, Zhang Liao told the Yellow Turban soldiers in ambush in the city, and the matter of the cooperation between the inside and the outside.
Wang Gang was also embarrassed, and took Zhang Liao into Mayi County.
Zhang Liao went to his home first when he arrived at the county seat. Zhang Liao has only one brother in the family, and his parents died young.
The elder brother runs a horse business and also has a small family property. The Yellow Turbans marched into the city, and the elder brother sacrificed his horses and food to save him from death.
When the two can see each other again, it is inevitable that they will sigh for a while.
By the time Zhang Liao brought his brother to see Wang Gang, it was already three days later.
"Wang Sima, this is my brother Zhang Lin" Wang Gang saw Zhang Liao bring a man in his thirties, dressed as a businessman.
"Wang Gang has seen my brother" Wang Gang hurriedly approached, Zhang Liao's brother is my brother, let's get rid of the people around Zhang Liao first.
"General Wang is polite, how does this make it" Zhang Lin was startled when he saw Wang Gang saluting him, and hurriedly returned the salute.
"Sima Zhang and I are intersecting in life and death, and his brother is my brother," Wang Gang said.
Zhang Liao next to him was stunned, this Wang Gang was too affectionate to his brother. But since Wang Gang gave him face, he couldn't object.
"General Wang is polite, but the horses in the family have been snatched away by the Yellow Turban thieves, and now they can't be sent to General Yu" Although Wang Gang called him brother, he didn't dare to call Wang Gang a brother.
"It's okay, it's just a war horse, don't worry about it," Wang Gang said. As if he thought of something, he said.
"I don't know if my brother has a way to get a war horse"
"There are some doors, but now there is a shortage of soldiers, and it is difficult to get materials and exchange them with the Huns," Zhang Lin said.
"I don't know if it's okay with food."
"Grain is the best, and on the grassland, grain is a hard commodity."
Zhang Lin was also very excited when he heard that he was exchanging grain for horses, and then he was gloomy, after all, it was not yet the autumn harvest, where did he get so much food, he might not have enough to eat, how could there be extra exchange horses.
What Zhang Lin didn't know was that there was nothing else, and Wang Gang had the most food.
"Okay, let Xiao Liuzi take you to Yanmen Pass, and first use 20,000 catties of grain to go to the grassland to exchange for some war horses." Saying that, let Xiao Liuzi take people and Zhang Lin to Yanmen Pass.
"Thank you Wang Sima for taking care of him," Zhang Liao thought that Wang Gang asked his brother to go to the grassland to change horses for the sake of his face.
"I don't know what Zhang Sima's plans are in the future." Wang Gang wants to get to the point.
Zhang Liao is also at a loss for himself, and now that the entire Yanmen Pass has been captured by the Yellow Turban Thieves, what can he do.
"Liao has no soldiers and no soldiers, Wang Sima can call me cousin Wenyuan, don't call me Sima, Liao doesn't dare to be" Zhang Liao thought for a while and said.
"Since we have lived and died together, don't call me Wang Sima, how old am I to you, Wenyuan will call me brother in the future" Wang Gang said, feeling a little uneasy.
"The elder brother is on top, and the younger brother worships him" Zhang Liao is not hypocritical, now he has nowhere to go, and Wang Gang has thousands of elite soldiers under him.
"Virtuous brother doesn't have to be polite, you and I are brothers, why can't you show your strength." Wang Gang's heart blossomed.
At this time, a similar scene was staged in the peach garden, which was thousands of miles away, and Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei also officially became brothers.
"Since you and I are already brothers, I will say bluntly, there are 20,000 soldiers in the city, and Wenyuan has a good plan." The 20,000 Yellow Turban soldiers who surrendered in the city gave Wang Gang a headache and consumed a large amount of food every day. And Yanmen Pass can't accommodate more people to cut down trees.
"Most of the Yellow Turban thieves are the people of Yanmen County, and they should be selected to be young and strong, and they should be trained into an army. Put the rest back. Zhang Liao said. He also heard of the 20,000 troops in the city.
"You and my brother coincide, and the 20,000 soldiers will be handed over to you to be responsible, and you will send a thousand crossbowmen to assist you."
Zhang Liao was overjoyed and took the order to leave.
Of the 20,000 Yellow Turban soldiers, Zhang Liao left 3,000.
Wang Gang sent a large number of weapons, and Zhang Liao trained in the middle school of the city for a month.
Now there are nearly 6,000 soldiers in the county seat of Mayi.
Although it is not an elite soldier, it is enough to protect the county seat of Mayi.
Wang Gang was about to ask Zhang Liao to take these soldiers to attack the surrounding counties.
Yang Fengxian of Dai County couldn't hold it back, and led 100,000 Yellow Turban soldiers to the city of Mayi.
Yang Feng is this person, Wang Gang also knows, but he doesn't seem to be very powerful, and he likes to surrender everywhere, but there is a general under him who is very famous.
Xu Huang, Xu Gongming.
"Wen Yuan, look at the military general next to Yang Feng" Wang Gang and Zhang Liao stood side by side on the city wall, looking at the Yellow Turban Army under the city.
"I fought him a few times in Dai County, and the force was not under me."
"Then we will defend the city wall, the Yellow Turban Army has no siege equipment, and it is difficult to capture the county seat of Mayi by relying on those ladders alone."
"If the Yellow Turban Army besieges the city on all sides, what should we do if we have all the food in the city" Zhang Liao's face was a little unpleasant, this big brother is usually very smart, how could he come up with such a stupid trick today.
"Don't worry, there is still a lot of food in the city, and the Yellow Turban Army is more short of food than us, and they can't afford it." A few days earlier, Wang Gang had been transporting grain to the city every day, fearing that the Yellow Turban Army would besiege the city.
The Yellow Turban Army under the city began to attack the city, and Yang Feng commanded it in a very orderly manner, divided into dozens of squads. The siege took turns, day and night, for three days in a row.
However, there were too many archers on the city wall, and every time arrows rained down, and these archers became more and more proficient.
Yang Feng was also a little distressed when he looked at the fallen Yellow Turban soldiers one by one, although the people who were besieging the city were cannon fodder now, but this cannon fodder died too quickly. Yang Feng arranged for Xu Huang to sneak attack elsewhere at night, and Xu Huang rushed to the city wall first.
But was soon discovered by Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao faced Xu Huang, and the two fought for dozens of rounds without winning or losing.
Xu Huang saw that his soldiers were all killed and retreated, and he didn't dare to fight, so he hurriedly forced Zhang Liao to retreat and slid down the ladder.
Zhang Liao saw Xu Huang running away, picked up a short knife and threw it over, Xu Huang couldn't dodge on the ladder, he could only dodge the vital point, his shoulder was cut by the short knife, and the blood flowed.
After listening to Xu Huang's report, Yang Feng was very displeased, and waved his hand to let Xu Huang go down to rest.
After two more days of attacking, there was still not much food in the army, and Yang Feng had plans to withdraw from the army.
