It didn't take long for the news that Zuo Feng was killed by the Yellow Turban rebels to reach Lu Zhi. Although Lu Zhi didn't like Zuo Feng of the Huangmen, the Huangmen came on behalf of His Majesty after all. Unexpectedly, he was killed by the Yellow Turban rebels.
Killed. Lu Zhi can be sure that when the news reaches His Majesty Luoyang, His Majesty will definitely urge him to eliminate the rebels as soon as possible.
But today, there are still nearly 100,000 rebels in Guangzong City. Without complete preparations, it will be difficult to win if you attack the city rashly. Moreover, although the fifth school of the Northern Army led by Lu Zhi is an elite force, most of them are cavalry.
It is strong in field battles, but siege warfare is not its specialty.
Now if we want to capture Guangzong as soon as possible and wipe out the rebels, we must get support as soon as possible. However, at this time, the Yellow Turban rebel rebellion is rampant all over the country. How can any reinforcements come to Guangzong? Unless?
Unless the rebels can be eliminated somewhere as quickly as possible.
Lu Zhi told the four Liu Bei brothers about this idea and ordered the four Liu Bei brothers to lead their troops to Yingchuan as soon as possible to assist the Han army in Yingchuan to exterminate the rebels. After the rebels in Yingchuan were wiped out, the Han army from Yingchuan could come to Jizhou.
, when the time comes to join forces with Lu Zhi, it will be easy to capture Guangzong.
In order to better help the Han army in Yingchuan to exterminate the rebels, Lu Zhi also allocated three thousand cavalry to Liu Bei to assist Liu Bei.
Inside Guangzong City.
After the Battle of Zhanghe, Zhang Jiao fled to Guangzong City in embarrassment.
After this battle, Zhang Jiao's original desire to win was completely extinguished. After this period of torment, Zhang Jiao clearly felt that his physical condition was getting worse.
Zhang Jiao doesn't know how long he can live, no matter how unwilling he is.
Zhang Jiao couldn't help but laugh at himself every time he heard his subordinates call him a Celestial Master. Do you know that the Celestial Master you call him will soon become a real Celestial Master.
As a heavenly master in the eyes of everyone, Zhang Jiao knew very well that the day he died was also the day his huge dream was shattered.
The sky is dead, the yellow sky should be established, and the age of Jiazi will be good for the world.
Zhang Jiao knew that he would never see the Huang Tian in his dreams again.
The four Liu Bei brothers were outside Guangzong City. After completing their preparations, they bid farewell to Lu Zhi and then led five thousand cavalry to Yingchuan County day and night.
Yingchuan County is located in the southeast of Luoyang, the royal city of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and is close to Luoyang. From Yingchuan County to the royal city of Luoyang, there is only one Huan Pass that can be defended by danger. After passing Huan Pass, you can reach Luoyang City by a flat river.
The Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan County originally planned to attack Shenyuan Pass during the uprising. If they were caught off guard, they would definitely be able to capture Shenyuan Pass in one fell swoop. Then they would join forces with the Yellow Turbans in Luoyang City to capture Luoyang. Not
Difficult matter.
However, all these plans could not be completed in time due to the betrayal of the traitors. After Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty learned that the Taiping Religion was going to rebel, he did a few things to protect the throne. He eliminated the Yellow Turbans in Luoyang City, lifted the scourge of party imprisonment, and arranged for General He
He went to Luoyang to guard Luoyang, and led the five battalions of Yulin soldiers on the left and right to garrison in the capital pavilion, arranging weapons, and guarding the capital. He also stationed in Hangu Pass, Dagu, Guangcheng, Yique, Fuyuan, Xuanmen, Mengjin, Xiaopingjin and other capitals.
At the pass, a captain was stationed.
Among them, the increase in the number of defenders at Shenyuan Pass directly bankrupted the Yingchuan Yellow Turbans' plan to sneak attack on Shenyuan Pass. In the end, the sneak attack was changed to a strong attack. However, most of the Yellow Turbans were poor people and had not received any military training at all.
If people attack the pass, they will be killed directly.
As Huang Pusong and Zhu Jun led an army of 40,000 to Yingchuan County, the Yingchuan Yellow Turban Army ended the pattern of giving away people at Shenyuan Pass.
The leader of the Yellow Turbans in Yingchuan was named Bo Cai, and he had quite a fighting spirit. The 40,000 troops led by Huang Pusong and Zhu Jun did not arrive at Yingchuan County together, but Zhu Jun led his army to Yingchuan County first. The army he led was an elite force of the Han Dynasty. Naturally, he looked down upon the Yellow Turban Army, which was composed of a group of bumpkins. So Zhu Jun took the lead in launching an attack on Bocai without waiting for the emperor Pusong's army to arrive. Unexpectedly, he was defeated by Bocai's army. Defeated.
The battle was unfavorable and had a huge impact on morale. When Huang Pusong and his troops arrived, the situation in Yingchuan County was stabilized. Huang Pusong and Zhu Jun led the Central Army to assemble in Changshe. It was said to be an assembly, but in fact it was to be mobilized. The Yellow Turban Army surrounded Changshe.
However, Bo Cai only had a little fighting spirit. Not long after, the Yellow Turban Army led by Bo Cai was defeated by Huang Pusong's fire attack and fled. In desperation, Bo Cai could only lead his army back to Yang Zhai. Yangzhai is the seat of Yingchuan County. After many years of management, the city wall is very high and there is a wide moat outside the city wall, which is very convenient for defense. Moreover, there is Yingshui on the east side of Yangzhai. Zhai's natural barrier increased the defensive intensity.
After the Yingchuan Yellow Turbans occupied Yangdi, they made Yangdi their base camp. Today, Yangzhai City has sufficient food and grass, and mountains of defensive equipment. After Bocai led the Yellow Turban army to retreat here, he also prepared to rely on it here. Stay safe and wait for the situation.
Huangfu Song, the general of the left Zhonglang, and Zhu Jun, the general of the right Zhonglang, brought Changshe's victory, plus the newly arrived reinforcements of 5,000 horse infantry led by Cao Cao, the cavalry captain, to station the entire army to the east of Yingshui, ready to attack Yang Zhai at any time. Launch an attack.
To pay tribute to Yangdi, one must cross the Yingshui River. At this time, the military gap between the Yellow Turban Army and the Central Army of the Han Dynasty became apparent. The Yellow Turban Army only knew how to defend Yangzhai, but did not know how to send troops to defend Yangcheng upstream of the Yingshui River and downstream of the Yingshui River. Yingyang, the Central Army of the Han Dynasty successfully crossed Yingshui and reached the foot of Yangzhai City.
The war is about to break out.
Yingchuan County is no better than Julu County. Although the Yellow Turban Army in Julu County is more powerful, the Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan County poses the greatest threat to the Han Dynasty, so Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty hopes that the Yellow Turban Army will be eliminated first. It is the Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan County.
Under the constant urging of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Huang Pusong and Zhu Jun decided to start a decisive battle with the Yellow Turbans in Yangzhai as soon as possible.
Troops with high military literacy have strong combat effectiveness, while the Yellow Turban Army in Yangzhai has strong defensive advantages, so the battle between the two sides is destined to be very fierce and cruel.
At this time, it depends on which side can persist, or which side can bring in a strong reinforcement.
At this moment, five thousand light cavalry led by Liu Bei arrived at the Yangdi battlefield. Liu Bei's arrival suddenly broke the balance of the Yangdi battlefield.
Liu Bei's four brothers met Huang Pusong and informed him of their purpose of coming. Huang Pusong couldn't help but be extremely happy. At this time, these five thousand people were no different to Huang Pusong than heavenly soldiers and generals falling from the sky.
"Liu Bei, a descendant of the royal family and a descendant of Prince Jing of Zhongshan, was ordered by Lu Zhi, the commander of the Northern Army, to lead five thousand light cavalry to help." Liu Bei said.
"Okay, I didn't expect that there are such people in the royal family. With Xuande here, the battle in Yangzhai will be worry-free." Huang Pusong said.
