Chapter 42: The Name of Liu Zhang

General's Mansion

The house was filled with the sound of banging and smashing.

He Jin returned to the house full of resentment and could only vent his anger by smashing things.

After a while, all He Jin's staff arrived.

"Why is the general so angry?"

He Jin looked up, put away his anger, and forced a smile.

"It's Benchu, come and sit."

This man has a majestic appearance, a majestic walk, and is handsome and tall. He is exactly Yuan Shao, a direct descendant of the Yuan family, the fourth and third generation.

He Jin needed Yuan's support at this time and valued Yuan Shao very much.

"Not long ago, Meng De led his troops to help Huangfu Song and others defeat the enemy. Unexpectedly, Meng De hadn't arrived yet. The Yingchuan Yellow Turban was beaten by Liu Zhang and fled in embarrassment. Even the leader of the thieves was beheaded."

"Oh? How come we don't know? Is this Liu Zhang so powerful?"

Yuan Shao was amazed that Liu Zhang had such strong military capabilities. How old was Liu Zhang?

"Why!"

"This is the battle report sent last night. I wanted to give credit to Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun this morning, but I didn't expect that the gelding Zhang Rang also knew the details, which made me very passive."

"These military reports must first pass through the hands of the general. How do eunuchs and eunuchs know about it?"

He Jin turned around and saw that it was Xu You asking the question, and became even more angry.

"His Majesty still blamed me today for not giving Liu Zhang military and horse equipment."

After saying that, he glared at Xu You.

When Xu You heard this, he knew that He Jin was blaming him, so he quickly apologized.

He Jin waved his hand, and the atmosphere became a little depressed.

"General, how did Liu Zhang defeat Bo Cai? As far as I know, he only had 2,000 men. And his military equipment was extremely poor."

He Jin looked towards the voice and saw that it was Xun You asking the question.

He did not dare to offend the Xun clan of Yingchuan too much, so he told the story of Liu Zhang's journey from Luoyang to his execution of Bo Cai.

"Although Liu Zhang is not one of my men, he is indeed a talented general. Even Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun praised him."

He Jin's words made everyone fall silent. This was a solid achievement and there was no way to criticize it.

Throughout the ages, there have been many cases where less has been used to defeat more, but this link-by-link strategy is watertight.

Just the courage to infiltrate a military camp of more than 100,000 people with a thousand people is admirable!

Even Xu You, who was very disgusted with Liu Zhang, frowned and said nothing at this moment.

Xun You also looked sad on the outside, but he was very happy on the inside.

He had no idea that Liu Zhang had such a talent.

Yuan Shao saw that the atmosphere was a bit delicate and opened his mouth to comfort him.

"General, now that all the aristocratic families and landowners in the country are fighting against the Yellow Turbans, my Han army will definitely fight more and more. It won't be long before the Yellow Turbans become equals. It won't be too late to deal with these eunuchs then!"

Everyone nodded in agreement. Since the lifting of the party ban, the response from the gentry has become increasingly louder and louder.

"That's all it can do."

-------------------

In order to reduce the morale of the Yellow Turbans and encourage the officers and soldiers to resist the enemy, Liu Hong spread the story of Liu Zhang to all directions, and for a time, the whole world knew about it.

Qingzhou Beihai County

Two scribes were drinking.

"Zini, I didn't expect that Liu Zhang's words came true. Taiping Dao is really the opposite."

"Hey, the court is corrupt and the people are in dire straits. Even if there is no yellow scarf, there will still be red scarves and blue scarves. What Liu Xiandi said is right. Today's Han Dynasty is indeed at a critical stage of life and death."

These two people were Liu Zhang's friends, Sun Qian and Guoyuan.

Sun Qian raised his eyebrows and asked:

"Zini, have you heard that Liu Xiandi defeated the 100,000 Yellow Turbans with more than a thousand men, and beheaded Bo Cai himself?"

Guoyuan smiled and nodded, no one in the world knows this at this moment.

"Yes, it is now known to the whole world. I didn't expect that Liu Xiandi's [going out] was not just a matter of passion."

"I heard that he is now heading to Hebei to face the rebel Zhang Jiao. It's a pity that my forte is not marching and fighting, otherwise I would want to follow him now."

"Brother Liu Xian is a man who will achieve great things. I have a hunch that the Yellow Turban Rebellion is just the starting point for him."

Sun Qian nodded heavily. Both of them were already thinking of surrendering, but they didn't have the right time.

However, Guoyuan always felt that after the fall of the Yellow Turbans, troubled times would truly come.

Jizhou, Yellow River Ferry

Liu Zhang took Huang Zhong, Dian Wei Taishi Ci and two thousand cavalry, and after half a month of traveling, they finally set foot on the land of Jizhou.

"Lord, according to the report from the spies, Lu Zhonglang is now facing off against the yellow turban thief Zhang Jiao. What should we do?"

After Huang Zhong's previous lessons, he was particularly serious about intelligence gathering.

They have already set foot on the land of Jizhou. They cannot rush along at will and must have a plan.

Liu Zhang thought for a while and said in a deep voice:

"Now we are all cavalry, we must use our advantages as much as possible."

"Lu Zhi is different from Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun. Lu Zhi not only rules well, but is also a great Confucian of the world. He is a true Confucian general."

"Since he came to Hebei, the momentum of the Yellow Turbans has been curbed."

Liu Zhang remembered that in history, Lu Zhi defeated Zhang Jiao's tens of thousands of troops several times with only a few thousand soldiers in his hands. And this was still in the field. This shows how strong Lu Zhi's commanding ability is.

Liu Zhang knew very well that when he came to Jizhou this time, he only needed to be the icing on the cake for Lu Zhi, and there was no need to provide help in times of need.

After all, without Liu Zhang, Lu Zhi could still defeat Zhang Jiao.

Liu Zhang came to Jizhou mainly for his "Five Tiger Generals."

In his expectation, there is only one person missing now!

There must be no room for error!

Liu Zhang's eyes sparkled with light.
