91. Persuade you to drink a glass of wine, there is no old friend in Yangguan
"Hey, I originally thought that our situation would get better after there were so many people in the city, but who knew that the enemy troops outside the city were like iron barrels. It seems that it is already the end of June, and the food in the city may not be able to sustain it.
It’s been a month.”
At this time, the main generals of the Yellow Turban Army were sitting together in Wancheng City. Their faces were full of worry. Obviously, the current situation was very unfavorable to the Yellow Turban Army. This also made the leader of the Yellow Turban Army who was originally planning to find an opportunity to counterattack
They were extremely discouraged.
"Hey, first Ma Yuanyi died generously in Luoyang, and then Commander Zhang Mancheng fell into Qin Jie's trick and died. But we didn't even think about avenging the two leaders at that time, but we all became deceived by eating lard.
There was a life-and-death fight for the position of the leader, but the people in the court took advantage of it. If I had known that things would turn out like this, why would I have made such a fuss in the first place?"
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. What's the use of talking about it now? Let's just think about how to solve the siege of Wancheng."
In today's Wancheng City, although on the surface everyone is a comrade of the Yellow Turban Army, there are many factions. There are people from out of state from Yizhou and Yangzhou, as well as people from Nanjun, Changsha County and other places.
People from other counties. Even within Nanyang County, because there are millions of households, each county has a population of hundreds of thousands, so they are all on their own.
The strongest among these large and small factions is the Three Groups. One group is a small group mainly composed of the Yellow Turban Army from Nanyang, and its leader is named Zhao Hong. The other group is mainly composed of the Yellow Turban Army from Hanzhong County.
There is a small group of Yellow Turbans from Henan County, and its leader is named Han Zhong. The last group is the Yellow Turbans from Jiangxia County, and its leader is named Sun Zhong.
These three people are now the three giants of the Yellow Turban Army in Wancheng City. They are also the main promoters of the internal strife of the Nanyang Yellow Turban Army a while ago. But now, these three people are already grasshoppers on a rope, and the severe situation has made
A few people no longer have the mind to think about internal fighting. For them now, being able to break through the siege of the government troops outside the city has become a luxury.
Yes, it's a luxury hope. Because Zhu Jun has recently received new reinforcements. Xu Xuan, the governor of Jingzhou who pacified the Yellow Turban Army in other areas of Jingzhou, came to Nanyang with tens of thousands of victorious troops. This made people who had already sent troops to Nanyang
The tilted war balance between the government and the army was now as stable as Mount Tai and unshakable. Zhu Jun could also deploy his troops more calmly and preside over the siege plan.
"Zi Bing, how long do you think the Wancheng Yellow Turban Army can last? Does You Zhonglang have an explanation?"
Under Li Shushi's instructions, Cheng Yu was getting close to Zhang Chao, another Sima under Zhu Jun. Speaking of which, Zhang Chao was not the Guangling prefect who was the 18th Route Prince against Dong in the late Han Dynasty, but came from
Hejian County, Jizhou
The person with the same name in the county. Well, speaking of it, he and Zhang He are actually from the same village. It's just that Li Shushi's bad guys were focused on those warriors who could fight, so scribes like him basically ignored them.
.
Although Li Shushi ignored them, people remembered Li Shushi and this group of violent elements. After all, he and Zhang He were the Zhang family's hope for both civil and military affairs, and the two of them had some agreements about their future.
But Zhang He, the star of hope, was badly repaired by Li Shushi's men who came out of nowhere. However, after following Li Shushi for more than half a year, he grew rapidly, and he was full of praise for Li Shushi and his men.
Zhang He is such a proud and arrogant person, but now he gives such a high evaluation to Li Shushi, which cannot help but make Zhang Chao look at Li Shushi and others with admiration. Of course, Li Shushi's combat effectiveness and tactical execution ability on the Nanyang battlefield are also evidenced. His opinion.
But what surprised Li Shushi and others the most was that after hearing Zhang Chao's introduction, it turned out that Zhang He was actually a celebrity.
Yes, although the age is really very long, Zhang He is indeed a famous scholar in the late Qin Dynasty and one of the princes and kings in the early Han Dynasty with the surname Zhao Wang Zhang Er. Of course, Zhang He's later achievements actually no longer need such an ancestor to support him. I have a golden face.
But precisely because of this, in order to revitalize the reputation of his ancestors, Zhang He really did not have the courage to accompany Li Shushi on his adventure. Zhang Chao, a Feng Shui master who graduated from the White Tiger Shrine, also found an opportunity to join Zhu Jun's disciples as soon as the Yellow Turban Rebellion began. Listen and use.
Although the relationship between Li Shushi and Zhang He has gone by the wayside, this does not prevent him from using this as a bridge to establish a good relationship with Zhang Chao. Although the relationship between Li Shushi and Zhu Jun is not bad, a person close to Zhu Jun revealed to him If there is some news, you can always be more prepared, right?
Of course, compared to Li Shushi, who had barely read a few classics and historical works, Cheng Yu and Liu Meng were obviously more suitable for this kind of interaction between scribes. The most important thing was that Wu Luan and Li Shushi both felt more and more like , since Liu Meng, the little transvestite, joined the army, his courage seems to have improved a lot. At least he doesn't have the expression of "I'm scared, please don't bully me" when seeing strangers like before. If Whenever he performs beyond his level, his talent can become a highlight among the crowd.
"According to You Zhonglang's estimation, the food in the city may not last for two months, and this is based on the minimum standard. If we maintain this state of continuous pressure, I am afraid that the Yellow Turban Army will collapse even faster .”
This view is not a military secret, so Zhang Chao said it very easily. Yes, at this point in the war, it can be said that victory will only happen sooner or later. It will definitely be difficult for the Yellow Turban Army to make any splash. , but because only the living have the opportunity to enjoy the fruits of victory, many people have begun to secretly save their efforts.
Soldiers all know the phrase "a trapped beast still fights", and the saying "a dog jumps over the wall when it is anxious" is even more popular among women and children. If you are like a certain Soviet tanker, you have already ushered in the sunshine of victory, but you are sniped by a German who is not dead yet. If the hand is gone, then that person's eyes will definitely open wide, and he will really die with his eyes open.
Faced with this situation, even the veteran general Zhu Jun had no good solution. Because the strategy he designed was executed so perfectly, although the pressure on food and grass in Wancheng City was unprecedentedly high, from another perspective , now the number of combatable soldiers in Wancheng City has reached an unprecedented number. This number will definitely break the teeth of those who want to eat them.
In fact, Zhu Jun is not unaware of the principle of surrounding three and missing one. He does believe that if the officers and soldiers do this, the resistance of the Yellow Turban Army in Wancheng City will immediately collapse. But the topic comes back again, because of the execution of Zhu Jun's previous plan It was too perfect. If the Yellow Turban Army in Wancheng City broke through together, then Zhu Jun could at most stop more than half of them.
Of course, for ordinary people, this is already a brilliant victory. But for Zhu Jun, the reason why he drove the Yellow Turban Army's extremely sympathizers into Wancheng City was because he hoped to solve the problem at once. Otherwise, even if it is a one-time The smaller half of the Yellow Turban Army also numbered in the tens of thousands. Whether these people were roaming around and attacking or occupying the mountains and becoming kings, they would become the Han's top hidden danger.
Therefore, for Zhu Jun now, the best way is to sit here and wait for the Yellow Turban Army to run out of rations. Then withstand the Yellow Turban Army's dying counterattack, then he can take full advantage and achieve Zhu Jun's unparalleled success. Name. Precisely because of this idea, he turned a blind eye to what his subordinates were doing. As long as he didn't let the Yellow Turban Army run away, there would be no problem.
Of course, Zhu Jun's arrangement is not without hidden dangers. At least Li Shushi knew about a very big hidden danger.
"General You Zhonglang, there is no big problem with the current strategy. But thinking about what happened to Zhonglang Lu Bei, I think we must guard against the change in the center. Otherwise, the achievements of several months will be ruined. "
Liu Bei, who felt the pain of Li Shushi's suggestion, naturally agreed greatly. He finally found another Shangguan who appreciated him. If he let the eunuch be destroyed like this again, then Liu Bei would really want to put a piece of cake in his head. The signboard "I am Sangmenxing".
When Zhu Jun's war in Nanyang reached a stalemate, a major event that shocked the whole country was also happening in Hebei.
"Brother, brother... wake up, wake up quickly..."
Heart-wrenching shouts came from the Yellow Turban Army base camp in Guangzong City, and all the soldiers in the base camp wept secretly. Just now, the soldiers serving Zhang Jiao discovered that Zhang Jiao was still writing at his desk. Zhang Jiao fell down on the table, and the ink in the overturned inkstone splashed on Zhang Jiao's body. A courageous guard stepped forward to check Zhang Jiao's breath, only to find that although Zhang Jiao was still breathing, he was still breathing. But he was already very weak.
After receiving the news, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang immediately rushed to the base camp regardless of their own illness. However, they only saw the tearful eyes of a group of Taoist priests and Zhang Jiao's body that had begun to cool down.
Zhang Jiao, a warrior of love for a generation, completed his life journey in this way. Although he was reluctant to give up, his life was finally over. Although Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang hoped to block the news, it was a pity that the development of the matter was no longer the case for them. It's all within one's control. In the end, faced with the rumors all over the city, the two of them had no choice but to mourn for Zhang Jiao. Since hiding it was useless, they might as well let their beloved eldest brother take more control of the situation.
Zhang Jiao's death caused a series of chain reactions that began to intensify.
First of all, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army collapsed and lost its will to fight. The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army was easily defeated by Lao Huangfu. Bu Ji didn't know if he wanted to die for Zhang Jiao. He directly exposed his Chinese army to Huangfu Song's front line. The frontier, and finally caused Huangfu Song to suffer a big loss and died heroically in battle.
Then there are the two brothers Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang in Guangzong City. After the funeral, the two brothers did not work together to defend their brother's inheritance. Zhang Bao went north to station in Xiaquyang City. Considering the physical condition of the two brothers, this was obviously inappropriate.
Common sense. As a result, rumors that the two brothers were at odds with each other and competed for the power of the Yellow Turban Army after Zhang Jiao's death spread like wildfire.
Faced with this favorable situation, Liu Hong immediately ordered Huangfu Song to go north to replace Dong Zhuo, who had been dismissed and investigated, and presided over the battle to annihilate the Yellow Turban Army in Hebei.
"Farewell, Zhang Jiao, I hope the world over there can meet your ideals."
Upon hearing the news of Zhang Jiao's death, Li Shushi went north to pay homage to this legendary leader with complicated emotions.
Behind him, Su Xiaololi watched quietly as he slowly poured a jar of wine into the ground. At this time, Li Shushi's back was so lonely that she couldn't help but want to use her heart to soothe that lonely heart.
soul.
p.s. Zhang Jue left. I originally planned to make it more sensational, but then I thought about it. Although Zhang Jue died, the ghost named Zhang Jue is still wandering in the sky of the big man, so since there is still a chance to appear,
Then don't be too sensational, otherwise it will be very scary to say "fraudulent corpse" later.
p.s. Shenba is back. I am very emotional. I really hope to see China’s Macross or Archangel in my lifetime...
