At that moment, Chen Yuan clearly explained his deal with Zuo Feng to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei was very moved when he heard that Chen Yuan wanted to reinstate him.
As a descendant of a declining clan, Liu Bei still yearned for the title of his ancestors. Now that he saw that there was hope of restoring the title, he was naturally happy.
However, Liu Bei couldn't help but be a little worried about Chen Yuan and his party going to Luoyang.
"Fourth brother, you are far away from me because you have no cultivation base. My eldest brother is very worried."
Chen Yuan was also worried about his life, but he had no choice. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Tai Shici, and Chen Yuan wanted them to help Lu Zhi conquer Guangzong City, so naturally they couldn't go to Luoyang with him.
After thinking for a while: "Brother, please let Tian Chong and Xu Heng follow me."
Liu Bei agreed without even thinking about it. Tian Chong and Xu Heng were talents discovered from the Yellow Turbans. They were born as small landowners and their cultivation levels were not weak. They had a fourth or fifth grade cultivation level, which was enough to handle some small scenes.
.
Chen Yuan said to Liu Bei: "Brother, although I have bribed Zuo Feng with money and he promised not to speak ill of Lu Gong, the imperial court is already dissatisfied with Lu Gong for delaying the war, so it is Lu Gong's plan. After I leave,
, Brother, you can Zhang Jiaobing persuade Lu Gong to attack Guangzong City as soon as possible, otherwise things will change later, and I'm afraid that something unexpected will happen to Lu Gong."
Liu Bei nodded heavily after hearing this.
Chen Yuan hesitated for a moment: "If you really can't be persuaded, brother, you can attack the city on your own. I think with the cultivation of the second brother, third brother and Ziyi, it should be no problem to attack Guangzong."
Liu Bei thought for a moment and agreed.
The next day, Zuo Feng walked around the camp and looked at the besieged Guangzong City.
Then he returned to the camp and said to Lu Zhi, Liu Bei and others: "I have investigated clearly what happened here. I will return to Beijing and report the situation here to Your Majesty. The Guangzong rebels rely on General Lu Zhi.
I hope General Lu will deliver good news soon. Everyone, take your leave!"
After saying that, he left the camp, got on the carriage, and was escorted by the Yulin Army to Luoyang to return to the Ling Emperor. At the same time, Chen Yuan and other people were also mixed in the team.
Seeing Zuo Feng leave, Lu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. But he thought in his heart: Zuo Feng, a little yellow man, was so easy to talk to today. What was the reason? After thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of a reason. So he gave up.
Just assume that he has changed his gender.
It's a pity that Chen Yuan can't read minds, otherwise he would definitely say: Why is he so easy to talk to? It's obviously money that makes him so easy to talk to! I'm bleeding heavily for you. You, old man, will have to protect us from now on!
Now everyone returned to the camp and continued to discuss how to defeat the enemy.
Lu Zhi sat in the commander's seat and asked everyone under his command: "Although the angel is here for inspection by the emperor, it also shows that the emperor needs us to suppress the rebellion and eliminate the Yellow Turbans as soon as possible. Do you have any good suggestions? Come quickly."
When everyone under his command heard this, they looked at each other and fell silent.
Lu Zhi was furious when he saw this: "Don't you guys have any solution? What's the use of the imperial court asking you?"
All the soldiers lowered their heads after hearing this, and Liu Bei stood up and replied: "Teacher, don't worry, I have news that will relieve your worries."
"Oh? What's the news? Tell me quickly." Lu Zhi asked quickly.
"These days, I have been thinking about how to defeat Guangzong, so I sent many agents to sneak into Guangzong City to find out the news. Yesterday, an agent sent a message, which said that Zhang Jiao was seriously ill. In order to verify this, I continued to send
I went to investigate carefully, and finally fulfilled my mission. Zhang Jiao is indeed seriously ill. I wonder if this news can relieve Teacher Lu's worries."
When Lu Zhi heard the news that Zhang Jiao was seriously ill, he was too happy to worry about anything else.
Then he asked again: "Is Xuande's matter absolutely true?"
"Absolutely true!"
After hearing Liu Bei's reply, Lu Zhi smiled and said: "Okay, okay, okay. The day when we can defeat the enemy is just around the corner."
Then he ordered: "Everyone has heard that Zhang Jue is seriously ill and is about to die. The city is about to be destroyed. From now on, the entire army continues to besiege Guangzong, sending people to challenge outside the city every day. Others are sent to spread rumors, so
It is said that Zhang Jiao is seriously ill and his life is at stake. Anyone who is willing to surrender will not be punished by the Han Dynasty. If he is stubborn and remains a thief to the end, he will definitely be killed on the day the city is destroyed. All the kings will act according to this, and if there is any violation, they will not be forgiven.
.Go down and carry out the order."
All the generals agreed in unison, then turned around and left to carry out the military orders.
Liu Bei and others were about to leave to carry out military orders, but were stopped by Lu Zhi.
At that moment, Liu Bei asked: "My mentor called Liu Bei to stop. I don't know what I have to say."
Hearing this, Lu Zhi took Liu Bei's hand and said: "Xuande, when the city is attacked, I will let you be the front army and take the lead in attacking the city. Once the city is defeated, forget about other things and capture Zhang Jiao first. Only by capturing Zhang Jiao
, you have done a great job. Only in this way, teacher, can I express my merits to His Majesty the Emperor and restore your status as a clan member. Do you remember this?"
When Liu Bei heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground and replied: "My teacher's instructions will be kept in mind. Thank you very much, my teacher!" After saying that, he bowed to Lu Zhi and saluted.
"Get up quickly! Don't let others see it. What a shame." Lu Zhi said when he saw this.
When Liu Bei and others heard this, they stood up.
In the next few days, the Han army shouted at Guangzong City every day and challenged them outside every day.
They also sent spies to sneak into the city and spread rumors.
Suddenly, the people in Guangzong City were panicked and the military morale was unstable.
A few days later, the news came that Huangfu Song had defeated the Yellow Turbans by burning Changshe. Lu Zhi was even more excited and quickly sent an army to attack Guangzong.
In Guangzong City, in Zhang Jiao's room, the bitter smell of Chinese medicine spread.
Zhang Jiao was lying on the hospital bed and said to his brother Zhang Liang: "My illness is getting worse and worse, and our army's situation is declining day by day. The situation is very unfavorable for us. Now Lu Zhi is besieging Guangzong City and attacking it very fiercely. I am afraid that Guangzong City
It will surely fall over time. After my death, you can keep the mourning secret and encourage your subordinates to stick to Guangzong. Once Lu Zhijun breaks through Guangzong, you can escape from Guangzong through the secret passage. Never raise the Yellow Turban flag again. Save your life.
Bar!"
Hearing this, Zhang Liang nodded heavily, then shook his head and said: "Brother, when we three brothers swore to rebel, I already thought about my funeral. After you die, I will definitely stick to Guangzong. As for escaping, I have nothing to do with it."
Don’t mention it again!”
When Zhang Jiao heard this, tears fell from his eyes, and he immediately shouted: "Heaven is dead, Huang Tian shall stand!!"
He shouted three times in a row, then his head tilted and he died.
When Zhang Liang saw Zhang Jiao's death, he immediately hugged his head and cried: "Brother, you take the first step, and the younger brother will come later!! Huang Tian, could it be that the sky is not dead yet? Why do you do this to my brother..."
After a while, Zhang Liang stopped crying and restrained Zhang Jue's body himself. Then he walked out of the room.
Outside the city, the Han army continued to pretend to attack Guangzong City.
At this time, it was Liu Bei's turn to attack. Zhang Fei was leading his men on ladders and rushed up the city wall.
Due to the previous feint attack, Zhang Fei was not very happy commanding under the city. Then he began to lead others to attack the city.
I saw Zhang Fei climbing up the ladder quickly, and then stabbed the enemy on the top of the city to death with a spear. Then he used his legs to exert force and rushed up the city wall.
When Liu Bei saw Zhang Fei rushing up the city wall, he was afraid that he would make a mistake, so he immediately ordered his entire army to rush up the city wall to support Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei climbed up the city wall, like a tiger descending from the mountain, killing all the yellow scarves around him, and a clearing was cleared in an instant!
Liu Bei's army soldiers who then climbed onto the city climbed to the top of the city to fight with the enemy without any pressure.
When Zhang Fei saw the reinforcements coming to support him, he immediately laughed and said: "Hahahaha, Zhang Fei will be the first to break the city today. Follow me quickly to kill the city tower, open the city gate, and welcome the large army!"
After Zhang Fei finished speaking, he rushed out at the head of the crowd, fought towards the bottom of the city tower, and went straight to the city gate.
Upon seeing this, the Yellow Turban Army in Guangzong City came to stop and kill Zhang Fei. But they were Zhang Fei's opponents.
Zhang Fei was holding a snake spear that was eight feet long, like a tiger descending from the mountain. Every time he thrust out a spear, one of the Yellow Turbans would fall to the ground. As time went by, the Yellow Turbans did not dare to step forward and besiege Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately led his soldiers and horses, fighting fiercely all the way to the city gate.
Zhang Fei rushed to the city gate, and then shouted to his soldiers and horses: "I'll stop them here, you hurry up and open the city gate to welcome the large army!"
At this time, Zhang Fei was already on a killing spree and completely forgot that his mission was to pretend to attack Guangzong City.
When the Yellow Turban Army saw that Zhang Fei sent people to open the city gate, they rushed towards Zhang Fei frantically, wanting to kill this person and prevent the city from opening.
Zhang Fei was not afraid of those who came. He came out of the hole with a snake spear like a wild python, and madly killed the Yellow Turban Army who came to stop him.
Lu Zhi and others outside the city were also stunned by Zhang Fei's move.
Immediately, Lu Zhi ordered: "The three armies listen to the order, and the whole army will attack the city with all their strength and fight the enemy decisively! The city will be broken today. The whole army will charge for me!"
Immediately, all the Han troops outside the city began to rush towards Guangzong City under Lu Zhi's military order.
With a creak, Guangzong's city gate was opened by Zhang Fei's troops. Seeing this, Guan Yu immediately led his cavalry to rush into the city to support Zhang Fei.
Liu Bei also led his army to rush into the city and fight with the Yellow Turban Army.
