Chapter 226: Changshe's Battle with Biluzhi is Over
The Xie family and the Huang family only obtained the game rights of Nanyang County. In other words, except for the Yellow Turban Army who entered Nanyang County and the people who fled here, they were qualified to deal with it.
The entire Han Dynasty is now a game field. It just depends on how big the players want to play and if they have the ability to play big, then they can have fun.
As for other prefectures and counties that do not have the strength to continue playing, such as Jing, You, Bing, Yong, Liang, Yang, Jiao, and Yi, the Yellow Turbans rose up very quickly, but they were destroyed equally quickly.
In fact, for these states and counties, either the population is sparse and there is nothing to gain. Or the local aristocratic families have formed a natural alliance. If any family suffers a loss, the overall interests will be damaged.
Therefore, the so-called participation in the game is nothing more than quitting when the situation is good, gathering some refugees who have escaped, and continuing to annex some local people's industries, which is enough.
The remaining prefectures and counties were like a thick net, tightly surrounded by the three hand-picked generals. They were reluctant to speak because they had enough strength and confidence to take over.
Eat all the fish in the net.
In the blink of an eye, spring turned to summer, and since the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out in January, it was already early summer.
"It has been six months since we launched an army to fight against thieves. How do you feel about Yizhen?" In the military tent, Zhu Jun poured a glass of wine for Huangfu Song.
"The Yellow Turban Army has become more and more active recently. It seems that they will close the network next month at the latest." Huangfu Song picked up the wine glass with a smile and drank it in one gulp.
Although drinking is prohibited in the army, after all, they are waiting during the waiting period and there is no direct battle to speak of. It is precisely because of this that they have the leisure time to have a drink.
"But having said that, things don't seem to be going well over at Zigan..." Zhu Jun frowned slightly.
"The only thing that is beyond everyone's expectations is that Zhang Jiao really knows a little bit about the magic of the immortal family. However, according to the spies' clear report, his lifespan will not exceed next month." Huangfu Song said calmly.
"If that's the case, wouldn't it be possible for Zi Qian to obtain Zhang Jiao's magic directly?!" Zhu Jun complained a little.
The method of the Immortal Family is different from others. If it can be pocketed, even if you get nothing from this game, future generations will be blessed.
"How can it be that easy? Have you forgotten the rumors three months ago?" Huangfu Song said with a smile.
"Three months ago? Did Yizhen say that there was a rumor that Julu was suddenly attacked and all three Zhang brothers were injured? But that was just a rumor after all. After all, Lu Ziqian tried to fight a little, but found that the three Zhang brothers were injured.
Appearing in front of everyone like a normal person, it doesn't look like he was seriously injured and bedridden!" Zhu Jun was a little confused.
"Since they have immortal methods, of course they will also have immortal elixirs. If you don't talk about them, why don't you and I not have a healing holy product like Xiao Huan Dan?! The key to the problem is not whether they are safe and sound, but whether you are
Didn't you find that since three months ago, there has been no military report of Zhang Jiao using immortal magic?" Huangfu Song explained his confusion with a smile.
"What Yizhen means is that all the immortal magic weapons of the Zhang brothers have been taken away?!" Zhu Jun understood.
"The weapons and spells you have cultivated cannot be taken away, so when the three Zhang brothers go into battle together, they are still very powerful for ordinary people like us.
However, magical weapons and secret books can be taken away. They neither stirred up troubles nor spread the beans into soldiers, and this has been the case for three consecutive months. I have to doubt that their magical weapons even record the magic. The person who attacked them took away everything they needed to fight." After Huangfu Song finished speaking, he also sighed slightly.
"Speaking of which, have you found out who the attacker was?" Zhu Jun asked curiously.
"I don't know yet, I just know that he is a young man no more than thirty years old. And after meeting the three Zhang brothers, the three of them showed enough respect to him. I think it must be a monk they know? "Huangfu Song shook his head.
If they could find out, the Yuan family would probably be the first to take action. How could they wait for them to take action?!
"It's rumored that from Huaxia Academy..." Zhu Jun couldn't help but think of the thank you letter after hearing the description.
But before he could finish speaking, Huangfu Song stopped him: "You are not the only one who doubts him, but we have conclusive evidence that he has never left the Huaxia Academy in the past ten years."
"Can't I be his apprentice?" Zhu Jun obviously didn't intend to give up.
"Give up, as long as we don't have enough evidence, no one can touch the Huaxia Academy. As for the reason, you understand and I understand too!" Huangfu Song's face turned cold.
When Zhu Jun heard this, his greedy expression immediately disappeared.
Indeed, he understands!
There are enough cheap elixirs for sale in the cultivation sect, which is the cultivation sect behind Xie Xin. In addition, Xie Xin expressed absolute neutrality, and the Xie family did not cross the line, so no one would do it for personal reasons. The private grudge caused everyone to have no supply of elixirs.
"You two are in such good spirits!" A black dwarf came in and said to the two of them with a smile.
"Meng De, why are you here?!" Huangfu Song recognized him first and immediately came forward to greet him.
"Hey, you should be happy if I don't come?" Cao Cao replied with a smile.
"In other words, we should really be happy that you are here! Why, can we close the net?!" Zhu Jun laughed and stood up.
“If we can’t close the net, why would I come here?
Zhang Bao will soon lead his headquarters to join the Bo Cai army at Changshe, and then launch an attack on Luoyang at all costs.
Of course, if this were the case, I wouldn't come yet. It's just that the one in Luoyang seems to be a little impatient with us staying here for too long." Cao Cao said with a bitter smile.
"It's not up to him anymore. Now, it's not up to us to decide when to stop." Zhu Jun looked fearless.
"Of course he understands this truth, so he took out all his anger on General He during this period. In the end, General He couldn't stand it anymore, so he suggested that if we were unable to attack for a long time, we might as well replace him with a general. No way. Needless to say, His Majesty is also a little moved." Cao Cao sighed helplessly.
"That idiot who kills pigs knows how to ruin our good deeds! Speaking of which, who does he recommend?!" Zhu Jun complained immediately.
"Huang Zhong of Nanyang, firstly, he thought Huang Zhong was his direct descendant; secondly, during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, his military exploits were also good, but we blocked him, so he has been unable to leave Nanyang County." Cao Cao said with a bitter smile.
"Your Majesty, is your heart moved?" Huangfu Song asked at the right time.
"When the results of the Nanyang victory came out, he was moved. Now that Butcher He is reporting, he is even moved!" Cao Cao answered frankly.
"It seems that it's time to close the net here. What's the situation like now with that idiot Bo Cai?" Huangfu Song turned to look at Zhu Jun.
"The camp is still so bad, especially since it has become hotter recently, so the military discipline has become even more lax. Of course, the so-called laxity here only refers to the approximately 80% of the people who are being held hostage in the Yellow Turban Army." Zhu Jun sighed, Report according to the facts.
"Such an army will be destroyed in one charge. But if we kill them so easily, I'm afraid it will be difficult for His Majesty to explain. Meng De, do you have any good ideas?!" Huangfu Song looked at Cao Cao again.
"Let's just have a fire attack. Whether it succeeds or not is a fact that we will win in the end." Cao Cao said nonchalantly.
"Fire attack on Changshe? This is a good strategy. Even if His Majesty asks, we will have an excuse." Huangfu Song smiled and nodded.
Thus, as recorded in history, "Cao Cao offered his plan to burn the Changshe by fire" and this was the beginning.
"General, there's a fire!" On a dark and windy night, a general quickly came to Bocai's commander's tent to report.
"What are you afraid of? We have already made preparations for fire prevention. What can I do about a small fire?!" Bo Cai said nonchalantly.
"General, the fire is not the key! The real problem is that along with the fire, the officers and soldiers launched a night attack on us!" Lai Lai said anxiously.
"Go away, those cowards are afraid! Give me the order to go down, prepare all the troops, and kill those officers and soldiers with me! As for those useless recruits, let them put out the fire quickly!" Bo Cai gave a few careless instructions. , then put on his armor and prepared to go into battle.
"Qu Shuai!" A pawn ran over in panic.
"What's going on?!" Bo Cai was in a troubled mood and asked reluctantly.
"The officers and soldiers are fierce, and suddenly there are 30,000 more cavalry. Our army can't stop them!" The soldiers almost cried.
"Cavalry, when?!" Bo was really panicked.
After fighting for more than six months, he could not see a single cavalryman. Moreover, the combat effectiveness of the infantry was not very strong. Occasionally, they still had some combat effectiveness in sneak attacks. In frontal battles, they lost at most 10% of their troops before being defeated.
Thanks to this, in the past six months, the weapons found were able to successfully arm all the troops under his command. At the same time, it also gave everyone the impression that "the officers and soldiers are weak", thus boosting morale.
But the impression I had at the beginning was completely different from what I saw now.
"Haha, those idiots, if you don't get fully armed, wouldn't it be possible that after we win the battle, a large part of the prisoners we capture will be 'implicated common people' instead of 'yellow turban rebels'?!" Zhu Jun laughed. He led his men to break through one line of defense after another.
"We need prisoners, but we don't need to drag them down!" Huangfu Song smiled faintly, and led the cavalry to kill with even more ferocity.
"Slow down, you two. If this continues, there will be 20% fewer prisoners than planned!" Cao Cao said helplessly later.
It's just that on the battlefield, everyone is jealous. Who else will pay attention to the plan made before?
For a time, the Yellow Turban Army was killed to pieces, and they quickly fell to the ground and surrendered. At the same time, more people joined the surrendering army.
Until dawn, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Cao Cao and Sun Jian killed more than 30,000 Yellow Turban thieves (of which more than 15,000 were old and weak) and captured 200,000 Yellow Turban thieves.
Twelve people including Huang Jinqu Shuai Bocai were beheaded, and Zhang Bao fled in panic. Countless gold and silver treasures, various types of weapons and armor, and some grain and grass were seized.
After the victory report was reported, Liu Hong naturally praised the four people who had made great contributions. As for the captured Yellow Turban Army, his order was to kill them on the spot.
This edict was obviously issued on the advice of the scholar-bureaucrats, but it was also in the best interest of the four people.
As a result, out of the 200,000 prisoners, 100,000 were old, weak, disabled, wounded, and ugly, and were directly killed. Only the young men, women, and children who were still tolerable were left. In the end, according to the ratio agreed upon by the three of them in advance, All divided up.
Not to mention the gold and silver seized, they also need the land that was abandoned due to the Yellow Turban Army. It can be imagined that it only takes a few months to obtain all the relevant land deeds. And the family fortune of the four people , which can also be expanded a lot.
As for the part that cannot be eaten, the families participating in this game from all over the country will eat it well. As of now, no aristocratic family in their hometown can compete with them.
The battle in the Central Plains has completely come to an end, and Lu Zhi of Guangzong also began to plan to stop.
"The profits from Jizhou, Bingzhou and Heyouzhou have been accounted for. It's time for us to stop." Lu Zhi said with a smile to Liu Bei who came to seek refuge.
"Teacher, the battle of Guangzong is not over yet, how can we escape unscathed?! Moreover, if we defeat Zhang Jiao directly, wouldn't our gains be greater?!" Liu Bei couldn't understand.
"There is nothing surprising. Among us players, some of us play for practical benefits, but some of us also need enough military exploits and fame.
My reputation as my teacher has become too great recently. If the conquest of the Yellow Turbans succeeds this time, I'm afraid His Majesty will have to be on guard. Being so restrained is not in line with the needs of being a teacher.
So, whoever wants this horn can take it. As for me, I can leave after I get enough benefits. As for you, I will write a letter to ask those who come after you to take good care of you." Lu Zhi smiled. 's explanation to.
"Who is the successor?" Liu Bei asked curiously.
"Dong Zhuo, who has been buried in the wilderness of Liangzhou, has obtained the qualification to defeat Zhang Jiao." Lu Zhi said calmly.
"That common man?! If he comes, I'm afraid my disciple will be out of luck." Liu Bei couldn't help but feel a little sad.
"Don't worry, he just got the qualification, but whether he can beat Zhang Jiao or not is anyone's guess.
You know, no matter how fake Zhang Jiao is, he is still an immortal. When forced to this point, there will always be a way to die together? Even if Dong Zhuo cannot be defeated, at least it will not be a problem to make him break his muscles and bones.
At that time, Huangfu Yizhen and Zhu Gongwei, who have just won the battle, will naturally be sent over." Lu Zhi obviously saw through Liu Bei's thoughts, so he explained to him with a smile.
"But what if that common man Dong Zhuo really defeats Zhang Jiao?" Liu Bei was still worried.
"The world is so chaotic right now. I wonder if there are some thieves pretending to be Yellow Turbans to fight against the government?" Lu Zhi casually asked an irrelevant question.
Although it is not stated explicitly, the meaning is very clear.
"Disciple thanks the teacher!" Liu Bei smiled lightly.
After a second thought, I had to ask again: "As a commander-in-chief, how can the teacher leave the front line?!"
"Our people are already making arrangements. The opportunity for me to leave is coming soon." Lu Zhi gave up.
When Liu Bei saw his confident look, he didn't want to inquire further.
All we need to do is wait for time to explain everything.
At this moment, at the city gate of Luoyang.
"Eunuch Zuo, you are going to make a fortune this time!" A eunuch said flatteringly to Zuo Feng, who was taking the lead.
"I am going to Guangzong this time to run errands for His Majesty. It doesn't matter whether I make a fortune or not!" Zuo Feng snorted coldly.
"Yes, yes! We are your majesty's loyal servants, and we must do our best to run errands for your majesty!" the young eunuch replied with a smile.
While you were talking to each other, the two of them quickly got on the carriage and started heading towards Guangzong.
