Chapter Fifty-Third: The Yellow Turban Rebellion Twenty
Cao Cao and Liu Lin joined forces and headed towards Changshe where Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were stationed. Along the way, Cao Cao was quite envious of Liu Lin's mighty tiger army. Liu Lin saw it in his heart and was quite satisfied with it. In fact, Liu Lin The use of this mighty tiger army is also based on the historical tiger and leopard cavalry. However, Liu Lin knows that the elite soldiers lie in their excellence rather than their numbers, so as of now, this mighty tiger army only has about 500 people.
The local generals Zhang Bao and Zhang Mancheng are stationed opposite Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun. The two armies are currently in a confrontation. In fact, to Zhang Bao and Zhang Mancheng, the more than 50,000 officers and soldiers of the district chief community are nothing at all. Therefore, the purpose of stationing in Changshe and confronting the government troops was to attract the defenders of Luoyang, then eliminate these government troops and garrison the city of Luoyang.
"Report, General Bocai was defeated by the mighty tiger army of Cao Cao and Liu Lin in Xingyang City, and General Bocai was killed!" A yellow scarf scout quickly ran to the camp to report to Zhang Bao, who was sitting in the seat. Zhang Bao was Zhang Jiao. My younger brother is now leading the army to Luoyang, and now there is only this official army outside Luoyang City. As long as this official army is eliminated, then Luoyang City will belong to the Zhang family. Faced with this great opportunity Zhang Bao didn't know how beautiful the situation was. He originally sent Bo Cai to Xingyang with the intention of annihilating Cao Cao's army in one fell swoop and emptying Luoyang's army. But now that Bo Cai was defeated, how could Zhang Bao not be angry? ?
"Useless thing! He ruined my big business!" Zhang Bao is about forty years old. He is different from his elder brother Zhang Jiaoxian. He looks like an honest farmer, but he is just such a person. , ruthless, murderous, and notorious among the Yellow Turban Army! "General Di Gong, in fact, this wave of talents is also a capable general. The key is that his opponent is Liu Lin, otherwise Cao Cao's 10,000 officers and soldiers The whole army will definitely be annihilated!" A general sitting at the bottom quickly advised. This man looks gentle and looks like a scholar. In fact, this is not the case. This man is Zhang Mancheng who responded to Zhang Jiao in the uprising of Nanyang. This man has courage. There is a plan, and he is a figure in the Yellow Turban Army. This person came up with the strategy of encircling the point to bring reinforcements.
Seeing Zhang Mancheng trying to persuade Zhang Bao, Zhang Bao said angrily: "Mancheng, now we are only one step away from waiting for a big event. As long as the officers and soldiers in Luoyang City are freed up, the battle of Hulao Pass will no longer be a problem. This Luoyang is not yet our world, the wish of the great sage and mentor can be realized!" Zhang Mancheng nodded and said: "General Digong, the more we are only one step away now, the more careful we must be. Now Bocai's 100,000-strong army It’s gone. Now as long as we surround the officers and soldiers of Changshe and put pressure on them, the Han court will definitely organize other armies to come. If we kill these armies in one go, the world of Han Dynasty will be in our hands. Got it!"
"What Mancheng said is absolutely true, but Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun are nothing, Cao Cao is also a waste, and Liu Lin, no matter how powerful he is, is still a child. Besides, what does a team of only 500 people count? In the end, The hateful thing is that Bo Cai was killed by Cao Cao and Liu Lin!" After saying this, Zhang Bao's face was full of dissatisfaction. Zhang Mancheng saw that Zhang Bao was still worried about this matter, so he sighed. say what.
At this moment, a military junior high school came in and reported: "Reporting to General Zhang, General Zhang, there is a troop of troops coming towards Changshe, flying the Cao and Liu flags!" Zhang Bao and Zhang Man When Cheng Yi heard this, the two looked at each other and said, "Cao Cao and Liu Lin are here!"
Zhang Mancheng said: "General Di Gong, now that Cao Cao and Liu Lin have arrived at Changshe, and their military strength is at its peak, I might as well let them in, join Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, and wait until their momentum has subsided. Annihilate them in one fell swoop!" Zhang Bao glanced at Zhang Mancheng, with a hint of ferocity on his face, "They came just in time, I was about to meet these two people to see what their abilities are like? As for what you said about waiting for them Let’s deal with them again when their morale is exhausted. Actually, that’s not the case. As long as I capture these two people, not only will the Han court be shocked, but even the Changshe army will no longer have fighting spirit, and our army will no longer be invincible!” Zhang Mancheng was about to persuade, but Seeing that Zhang Bao waved his hand and said: "I have made up my mind, there is no need to say more!"
Cao Cao and Liu Lin led the army towards Changshe. They were about to let Guan Yu and other generals take the lead and rush in with everyone. When they saw a group of troops coming out from the opposite side, under the banner of General Zhang Bao, Cao Cao took a look. Liu Lin, seeing a smile in Liu Lin's eyes, said to Liu Lin: "Brother Liu Xian, today's battle seems inevitable, but seeing that my brother is well prepared, he must have had some calculations in his heart. This battle will be decided by my brother." Here comes the fight!"
Liu Lin actually had this intention in mind. He actually couldn't bear these Yellow Turban Army. After all, most of them were farmers who had been deceived. As long as the thieves' leaders were eradicated, these armies would actually be defeated. Liu Lin smiled. He nodded and said: "Okay, since Brother Meng De is willing to give in, and I won't refuse, let me take this battle!"
Cao Cao and Liu Lin already regarded each other's Zhang Bao as dead here. In fact, Zhang Bao did the same. He originally looked down on Cao Cao and Liu Lin, and seeing that there were not many of them, he looked down upon them even more. However, Zhang Bao is not stupid. He stood there holding a long knife and sitting upright on his horse when he was within a stone's throw. However, a stone's throw is very difficult for others, but for Huang Zhong, that It won't be a problem anymore.
Liu Lin glanced at Huang Zhong, who understood and carefully raised his long bow to wait for the arrow to hit. At this moment, Zhang Bao shouted loudly: "Young children of the Liu family, Cao Cao, you guys Who dares to fight with me?" Upon hearing this, Liu Lin showed a trace of anger on his face. He glanced at Cao Cao quietly. Cao Cao's face was pale and he was shaking with anger. Cao Cao's father was the adopted son of the eunuch Cao Teng. Cao Cao has always been quite taboo about this matter, and Zhang Bao's words were to insult Cao Cao. Despite this, Cao Cao still held back. Cao Cao's general Cao Hong was Cao Cao's clan brother. When he saw Zhang Bao insulting Cao Teng, he He was also furious and said angrily: "Brother, let me kill this guy!" Cao Cao waved his hand and said: "Since it is handed over to Liu Xiandi, let Liu Xiandi take action!" Liu Lin glanced at Cao Cao and knew what Cao Cao meant. , In fact, Cao Cao didn't have such good intentions. He knew that there were not many available people under Cao Cao, and there was only one Cao Hong who was more brave. But if something happened here, Cao Cao would suffer a lot, so even though Cao Cao was furious, he Still endured it!
