After meeting Emperor Han, Zuo Feng did not mention the fact that he asked for bribes, but instead said that Lu Zhi was not good at fighting for a long time in Guangzong, and he had been unable to stand up and increased his momentum of rebel.
Seeing that the Han Emperor reacted without the anger he had imagined, Zuo Feng said: "What's even more hateful is that Lu Zhonglang actually said that our Han army was not good enough and could not defeat the rebels. The slave was so angry that he argued with Lu Zhonglang, but Lu Zhonglang drove the slave out of the camp." After saying that, Zuo Feng was both full of emotion and tears were flowing.
The Han Emperor slapped the table and said furiously: "What a Lu Zhi, who is not good at long-term battles, but he also belittles our Han army so much and affects the morale of the army. I will definitely not forgive him."
Zuo Feng echoed: "Your Majesty is wise."
The Emperor of Han thought for a while and said, "I heard that Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhonglang have recently fought with the Yellow Turbans, and have won many battles and killed countless enemies. They have caused the Yellow Turban soldiers to abandon their armor and drag their soldiers with their names. I wonder if it is true."
Zuo Feng hurriedly echoed: "The last time I went to Dong Zhonglang's army to announce the order, I saw that Dong Zhonglang's army was full of elite soldiers. It is a blessing for me to have a general like Dong Zhonglang. If General Dong leads the army to fight against the thief leader, he will definitely win in one fell swoop."
After hearing Zuo Feng's words, the Emperor of Han was moved and immediately asked Zuo Feng to call Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong.
After Zuo Feng left, he immediately went to Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong's residence.
Dong Zhuo was very good at being a human being. Last time he went to Dong Zhuo's army to announce the imperial edict, Dong Zhuo gave him many gold, silver and treasures. Not only his own, but also Zhang Ran and others, Dong Zhuo took care of him. It can be said that everyone was very happy.
After a cup of tea, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong rushed to the study of Emperor Han.
The Emperor of Han fiddled with a jade ornament and said to Zhang Rang: "Recently, Lu Zhonglang has been resisting Guangzong with the first thief Zhang Jiao, and dared not fight and neglected the morale of the army. I want to use Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhonglang to replace Lu Zhi to be fully responsible for the war ahead. I wonder what my father thinks?"
Emperor Han was raised by Zhang Rang since he was a child. He trusted Zhang Rang very much and respected Zhang Rang as his father.
Zhang Rang got the benefits of Dong Zhuo, so he naturally said good things to Dong Zhuo, and Zhao Zhong kept echoing.
So, the next day in the court, Emperor Han resisted the opposition and announced that Dong Zhuo would replace Lu Zhi to fight the first Zhang Jiao.
This time, it was Zuo Feng who came to announce the imperial edict. Dong Zhuo naturally received warmly. After the imperial edict was finished, Zuo Feng smiled and kept reassuring Dong Zhuo that he would definitely say good things in front of the saint when he returned.
What Jia Rong and other generals didn't know was that Li Ru was also sent to the capital by Dong Zhuo to make some arrangements for him in the court.
After Zuo Feng left, Dong Zhuo immediately summoned the five generals to discuss how to carry out the next battle.
Dong Zhuo laughed and said, "The Lord asked me to fully handle the battle with the Yellow Turban Head. This victory must be a great contribution. All the generals must work hard to move forward."
Jia Rong and other five generals replied in unison: "I am willing to expedite the general!"
Dong Zhuo turned his tone and said, "Don't worry, you and I are all prosperous. If this general's official becomes bigger, you will naturally be indispensable."
The five generals, Nuonuo, said that they were.
It was said that it was a discussion of war, that is, Dong Zhuo himself set the plan of the war alone, and the generals dared not say anything.
After several days of fighting with the Yellow Turban soldiers, Dong Zhuo was full of ambition. When the Yellow Turban soldiers saw their flags coming out, they fled one after another. This made Dong Zhuo look down on the Yellow Turban soldiers. Therefore, Dong Zhuo did not take the battle with the Yellow Turban soldiers to heart. He thought that if his army covered up and killed them, the enemy who would definitely kill would run away in a panic.
After Jia Rong returned to his team, he kept thinking about what happened today, and felt very familiar.
Suddenly, Jia Rong realized that this was a plot above the Romance of the Three Kingdoms; it was recorded in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that Lu Zhi was arrested and returned to Beijing to question, and Dong Zhuo replaced Lu Zhi to continue fighting with the Yellow Turbans, but he was defeated.
After understanding this, Jia Rong hurriedly rode his horse to the central army.
Seeing that Jia Rong was returning, Dong Zhuo asked, "What else is there in Zhiyuan? Why aren't you ready for the next battle in the team?"
Jia Rong sorted out his words and said, "I have to report to the general, and I have an important matter to tell the general."
Dong Zhuo immediately felt energetic and said, "What's the important thing?"
Jia Rong bowed and said, "I'm daring to be a good person, please forgive me for being innocent."
Dong Zhuo wanted to know what Jia Rong was talking about, so he waved his hand and said, "Tell me, I'm sorry you are innocent."
Jia Rong walked up and whispered: "I wonder how the general views the next issue of fighting with the Yellow Turbans?"
Dong Zhuo was happy to receive the title of Emperor Han. Seeing Jia Rong being held in hiding, he answered truthfully: "The Yellow Turbans are not worth worrying. When our Xiliang army covers up and kills, they will definitely win a great victory."
Jia Rong hurriedly said, "General, the Yellow Turbans that fought with us this time are very different from the Yellow Turbans before; General, just imagine that this time, the Yellow Turbans were led by the thief Zhang Jiao, and they must be the elite among the Yellow Turban soldiers. General must be careful not to take advantage of the Yellow Turban soldiers, especially in the past two days."
After a while, Jia Rong said that he was sincere and started from the perspective of the army. But after hearing this, Dong Zhuo was furious and said, "Jia Rong, what do you mean? Can't I, the warriors of Xiliang, still defeat the little yellow turbans? You are bewitching the morale of the army. Don't mention it again, otherwise you will not forgive me."
After seeing that Dong Zhuo had heard his words, Jia Rong immediately turned his back and stopped persuading anything. He was unpleasant and not everyone could continue to listen. With Dong Zhuo's temperament, if he advised him again, Dong Zhuo would not only not listen, but might really be able to cure his own sins.
Jia Rongnuo said yes, and then resigned from Dong Zhuo and returned to his own team.
After returning to the team, Jia Rong reflected on whether he had heard that Dong Zhuo was going to be defeated. Now it was the time when Dong Zhuo was full of confidence. He advised him to pay attention to the next Yellow Turbans to prevent the defeat in the war. It was undoubtedly a disappointment. Because Dong Zhuo was happy, he would have to punish him.
Dong Zhuo's army had been moving forward for only two days, and suddenly the Yellow Turbans were everywhere in the mountains and came from the front.
The Xiliang Army is a well-trained army and will definitely not be scared by the sudden appearance of soldiers. The soldiers all looked calm. Dong Zhuo immediately ordered the cavalry to come forward and charge the Yellow Turban soldiers.
In Dong Zhuo's opinion, the Yellow Turban soldiers in front were just a contribution to him, no matter what tricks they played.
Seven thousand Iron Cavalry rushed out of the Western Liang army camp and rushed towards the Yellow Turban soldiers in front.
The cavalry of Jia Rong's army had only more than 300 people, so they did not participate in the rush to the Yellow Turbans; unlike the expected, the Yellow Turban soldiers were not scared by the cavalry of Xiliang, but moved forward bravely.
One by one, the Yellow Turban soldiers were killed, and one by one rushed up again. In their eyes, they seemed to have no idea what death is or what pain was.
The cavalry of the Xiliang Army also began to suffer casualties. Many of the cavalry were killed by the Yellow Turban soldiers who were ready to die. They used their flesh and blood to reduce the speed of the war horses, and were then killed by the Yellow Turban soldiers who rushed forward.
At this time, Jia Rong saw a big banner appearing behind the Yellow Turban soldiers and wrote "General of Heaven"; Jia Rong suddenly realized that no wonder the Yellow Turban soldiers rushed forward so desperately, it turned out that their "leader" was in the rear.
These Yellow Turban soldiers are similar to later religious fanatics. They can sacrifice everything for religion, not fear death or pain.
Jia Rong hurried to the central army where Dong Zhuo was located and advised Dong Zhuo: "General, this is a soldier led by the leader of the Yellow Turban Thief. This time, the Yellow Turban Turban is powerful and cannot fight hard. It is better to retreat quickly."
Dong Zhuo was not a confused person either. He also understood the current situation. The cavalry he was proud of had already suffered nearly 20% of the casualties.
Just as Dong Zhuo was about to order a retreat, the sound of drums suddenly appeared in the rear of Dong Zhuo's army, and the shouts were shaking the sky. The endless Yellow Turban soldiers came to Dong Zhuo's rear army.
Faced with the attacks of the Yellow Turban soldiers, Dong Zhuo was also panicked. He usually had Li Ru give advice for him. This time, Li Ru was sent to the capital to ask for food and grass to manage himself in the court. He thought it would be a sure thing to kill the Yellow Turban thief leader, but he didn't expect that the Yellow Turban soldiers were so fierce.
Thinking of not listening to Jia Rong's advice before, Dong Zhuo felt regretful in his heart, and hurriedly asked for advice from Jia Rong: "I don't know what good strategies Zhiyuan has to do, so I can get rid of the current situation and ask Zhiyuan to teach me."
Seeing that the matter was critical, Jia Rong did not refuse and said, "General, the situation is not conducive to our army, so it is better to retreat quickly."
Looking at the stalemate situation in front of the battlefield, the soldiers behind the battlefield were also killed by the Yellow Turban soldiers who had killed them step by step, Jia Rong stepped forward and asked, "General, I am willing to lead the army to resist the Yellow Turban soldiers who are attacking from the front. The general is the commander of our army. There is no need to make any mistakes. Please retreat quickly."
After hearing this, Dong Zhuo was moved and took Jia Rong's hand and said, "I will remember Zhiyuan's kindness in my heart. Zhiyuan must take care of it."
As the saying goes, true love is revealed in times of adversity. At a critical moment, Jia Rong not only solved his worries and problems, but also led his soldiers to cover his retreat. Dong Zhuo remembered Jia Rong's kindness in his heart, which also laid a good foundation for Jia Rong's future use for Dong Zhuo.
After Jia Rong gave Dong Zhuo a bow, he immediately rode his horse back to his team and organized soldiers to resist the Yellow Turban soldiers rushing towards him.
Hearing the sound of the central army's gold roar, the Western Liang cavalry were rushing back one after another.
The Yellow Turban soldiers did not intend to let go of the Xiliang cavalry that had just been rampant in their positions so easily, and chased the Xiliang cavalry all the way; but the Yellow Turban soldiers were basically infantry, and they could only stare at the cavalry that rushed back.
At this time, without Zhang Jiao's orders, all the Yellow Turban soldiers shouted and came to Dong Zhuojun.
At the same time, Dong Zhuo asked Li Gui to lead his troops to resist the Yellow Turban soldiers who were killed in the rear, and then led the remaining army to retreat to the rear.
Seeing Dong Zhuo's big flag moving to the right rear, Zhang Jiao knew that Dong Zhuo was going to withdraw his troops.
