The soldiers Lu Zhi led before were the most elite sergeants of the Northern Army of the Han Army. Whether it was weapons or armor, they were much better than the border soldiers and county soldiers. Even Dong Zhuo was jealous when he saw the equipment of these soldiers.
Endless.
The five schools of the Northern Army have always been the most elite soldiers of the Han Dynasty, guarding the safety of the capital city gates. The original eight schools were reduced to five schools in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Although Dong Zhuo coveted the equipment of these soldiers, he did not dare to be presumptuous. The captains of the five schools of the Northern Army were all descendants of prominent figures in the court. To put it bluntly, they were the second generation of officials. Dong Zhuo could not afford to offend these people.
After the soldiers settled down, Jia Rong took Zhang Wei to the camp where Liu Bei and the others were.
When Liu Bei saw Jia Rong arriving in person, he warmly entertained Jia Rong.
After Jia Rong sat down, he said to the three standing Liu Bei: "Three generals, there is no need to be formal. Rong is also a casual person. Please have a seat."
Hearing that Jia Rong's tone was not joking, Liu Bei and the other three sat down.
"In recent days, military affairs have been busy and I didn't have time to visit the three generals. Please don't blame the three generals," Jia Rong said.
Liu Bei hurriedly raised his hands and returned the greeting: "General, I can't thank you enough for coming to visit."
Jia Rong said: "You don't need to be called General. It sounds awkward. My surname is Jia Rong and my courtesy name is Zhiyuan. If you don't mind, just call me Zhiyuan from now on."
When Liu Bei saw Jia Rong's name, he also replied respectfully: "My surname is Liu, my name is Bei, and my given name is Xuande. The general can call me Xuande from now on."
After that, he introduced Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to Jia Rong respectively; Jia Rong said approvingly: "Both generals are the most powerful generals in the world."
Zhang Fei is an outspoken person. When he saw Jia Rong praising himself, he laughed and said, "This general has a good vision!"
Liu Bei hurriedly scolded: "Yide, don't be rude."
Jia Rong smiled and said, "It doesn't matter."
Zhang Feinuo said yes, but his eyes when looking at Jia Rong were obviously much gentler. Zhang Fei is like this. He respects others one foot, and respects himself one foot. He takes revenge when he has a grudge and repays a favor. He stood beside him without saying a word.
Speaking of Guan Yu, Jia Rong said: "This should be Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang, who is famous in the Yellow Turban. He is indeed a hero among men."
When Guan Yu saw Jia Rong mentioning him, he also smiled and returned the courtesy to Jia Rong: "A few achievements are not worth mentioning by the general."
"There is no need for Yunchang to be modest. Yunchang killed the Yellow Turban general Cheng Yuanzhi that day, and his contribution is nothing short of small." Jia Rong saw Guan Yu's modesty and unceremoniously revealed his old ways.
Who doesn't want their past achievements to be remembered by others? Seeing Jia Rong say this, he seemed very happy.
Seeing that Liu Bei's second and third brothers were all taken care of, Jia Rong said to Liu Bei, "I wonder what brother Xuande plans to do next?"
Liu Bei tentatively said: "I am originally from Zhuo County, and I plan to lead my original troops back in a few days."
When Jia Rong heard this, he immediately became anxious. Jia Rong valued Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's bravery and naturally did not want them to leave so quickly. He advised Liu Bei: "General, why should you leave in such a hurry? You and I are both Han ministers and the country is in danger.
We should work together to fight against the rebel thieves. Now that the thieves are quite powerful, the general should stay and kill the enemy to gain fame."
Liu Bei no longer tried to show off, and saluted Jia Rong and said: "Bei is the great-great-grandson of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan. His surname is Liu, his name is Bei, and his courtesy name is Xuande. You should fight bravely to kill the enemy and eliminate the rebels."
Jia Rong naturally knew his identity, but he pretended to be surprised and said, "Is Xuande a member of the royal family?"
Liu Bei replied: "It's absolutely true, but Bei is still white now. Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Bei has experienced several stations and killed countless enemies. However, the court does not understand and the eunuchs have taken over the power."
After what he said, Liu Bei was about to cry, and even Jia Rong sympathized with him.
Jia Rong comforted him and said, "Xuande need not be sad. After the battle with the Yellow Turbans is over, the Holy Emperor will definitely reward Xuande after learning of his achievements. Rong begged Xuande to stay and fight against the thief Zhang Jiao."
Liu Bei replied: "The general's great kindness will not be forgotten. I should stay and kill the rebels together."
Jia Rong comforted Liu Bei for a while, and then returned to his camp. He was about to fight Zhang Jiao, and he had to prepare his troops quickly.
After a battle a few days ago, the troops led by Jia Rong lost more than 700 people, leaving more than 300 cavalrymen.
As soon as Jia Rong left, Zhang Fei shouted loudly: "Brother, I think this general named Jia Rong is good. He treats you very kindly. He is not like that Dong Zhuo. He is just a villain and ungrateful. If he falls into my hands, look at it." I will skin him alive or alive."
Liu Bei hurriedly stopped Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu also accused Zhang Fei and said: "My third brother must not do this in the future. This is in Dong Zhuo's army. If he listens to it, we will be in trouble."
Zhang Fei also realized that his words just now were a bit excessive, so he lowered his head and said nothing.
Liu Bei sighed and said, "Now I can only serve Dong Zhuo temporarily. If you have any opinions, please feel free to tell me."
Seeing that Jia Rong treated the three of them very well, Guan Yu clasped his fists and said, "It's all up to the eldest brother."
Zhang Fei also said that he would listen to Liu Bei in everything.
Liu Bei sighed and said: "I just wronged my second brother and my third brother. Both of them are good generals, but now they are still in vain." After saying that, he bowed to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
Guan Yu hurriedly helped Liu Bei up and said: "Brother, there is no need to be like this. You and I, the three brothers, should share the same hardships. There is no grievance or grievance. Yu will follow my eldest brother for the rest of his life and will never regret it." After speaking, he knelt down on one knee. In front of Liu Bei.
Zhang Fei also followed Guan Yu and knelt in front of Liu Bei.
Liu Bei hurriedly helped the two men up and said, "I have two virtuous brothers. I will never regret my words."
Looking at his second and third brothers, Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh in his heart. These two are both fierce generals. With the help of two people, they will definitely be able to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds in the next battle.
Liu Bei was not content with being in vain. Although he was a descendant of the royal family, since his ancestors lost their princes after a lot of money, he had to rely on others for help in his daily life. Liu Bei, who was not willing to be second to others, had always been eager to establish his fame on the battlefield and regain the princes his ancestors had lost. position, it can be said that I have a long way to go.
A few days later, Zhang Jiao led his army back to Guangzong.
Zhang Jiao cursed loudly in front of the generals: "If an army hadn't suddenly come out, I might have killed Dong Zhuo's son. What a pity." After saying this, he kept coughing.
Zhang Yan hurriedly stepped forward to persuade: "General, it's important to take care of yourself. With the general here, defeating those Han troops is just a matter of flipping your hand."
As the army was returning and counting soldiers' injuries and other things on the way, Zhang Jiao did not have time to ask Zhang Yan about the battle that day.
Zhang Jiao said: "Feiyan, I wonder what happened to the Han soldiers I ordered you to block the attack on that day? Did you wipe them all out?"
Zhang Yan immediately knelt down and said: "General, please forgive me. I am humble and incompetent. I failed to eliminate the Han people and instead defeated them. Please punish me, general."
Zhang Jiao thought, when he was chasing Dong Zhuo, he clearly saw that it was just a team of more than 2,000 people. He also knew that Zhang Yan's troops were all elite men. At that time, his own force numbered more than 3,000 people.
, our own army had already won a great victory at that time, and it was said that it would not be difficult to destroy the Han army. He looked at Zhang Yan doubtfully and said, "Tell me the specific battle situation that day in detail."
Zhang Yan continued to kneel on the ground and replied: "General Qi, I humbled myself and led the soldiers that day. The enemy troops retreated step by step, and the enemy general was beheaded at the sight of his horse. Unexpectedly, the enemy army suddenly sent out a nearly
A cavalry team of 400 people. This cavalry team is very powerful. They are basically composed of foreigners. They are very brave and good at fighting. They have killed and wounded many of our soldiers, and they were almost killed by a Han general who came to rescue them."
Zhang Jiao showed a look of astonishment, and then comforted Zhang Yan and said: "I can't blame you. You go down and select the soldiers and replace the lost soldiers to prepare for another battle in the future."
Seeing that Zhang Jiao did not blame her, Zhang Yan thanked her and left.
Zhang Jiao felt helpless in his heart. This time, the siege of the Han army failed to achieve success. It seemed that the decadent Han Dynasty was not so easy to overthrow, and his health was getting worse and worse.
Three days later, Dong Zhuo organized a large army to launch an attack on Guangzong City. Although the Han army was brave, the Yellow Turban soldiers were victorious because of their large numbers. The Han army could not attack for a long time, and both sides suffered casualties.
Faced with Zhang Jiao's attempt to occupy the city, Dong Zhuo could only do nothing but continue to confront the thief Zhang Jiao in Guangzong.
At this time, an order came from the imperial court. Zhu Jun fought with the Yellow Turbans in Yingchuan and was defeated by Bo Cai's army. Now he and Huangfu Song retreated to Changshe to confront the Yellow Turbans. The situation was critical. Dong Zhuo was ordered to immediately send troops to support Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song's army, and the imperial court.
Cao Cao, the cavalry captain, has also been sent to lead his troops to support.
After Dong Zhuo heard this order, he also had a headache. There were 200,000 Yellow Turban rebels facing him. The soldiers he brought plus the original soldiers from the fifth school of the Northern Army were only more than 60,000. He was already in a difficult situation.
Disadvantage, how to send troops to support Zhu Junjun.
However, Dong Zhuo did not dare to neglect. After receiving the order from the imperial court, he immediately summoned the generals of various ministries and the captains of the five schools of the Northern Army to discuss matters and discuss countermeasures.
When Dong Zhuo saw that all the generals and the Northern Army captains had arrived, he stepped forward and said, "The imperial court has issued an edict, ordering our army to support Zhu Junjun who is fighting the Yellow Turbans in Changshe. What do you think?"
Jia Rong took a step forward and said: "General, this place is far away from Changshe. If you want to support us, we will have to use cavalry to arrive at starry night."
Dong Zhuo listened to Jia Rong's words and praised: "What Zhiyuan said is true!"
After thinking for a long time, Dong Zhuo said: "I wonder which general is willing to bring troops to support?"
It's not that the generals are unwilling to lead their troops there, but that it's the time when the Yellow Turbans are rampant, and the Yellow Turbans are at their peak, and the journey is far away, so the generals are afraid of making mistakes.
Seeing that no one responded, Jia Rong raised his hand and said: "General, I am willing to lead the troops there!"
Not to be outdone, Hua Xiong also stood up and said: "I am willing to take this humble position!"
When Dong Zhuo saw Jia Rong, Hua Xiong stood up and laughed and said: "Zhiyuan and Hua Xiong are really loyal and righteous men. I have two generals. Why worry about being unable to defeat the Yellow Turban rebels?"
