Chapter 100: Zhang Jiao’s death and his army sent to Guangzong
Liu Zhang handed the information to Guo Jia, and when Guo Jia took it over, his expression was no better than Liu Zhang's. Liu Zhang thought about it for a while and asked, "Is the news true?"
It turned out that the man in the Yellow Turban costume was a spy of the imperial court. He infiltrated the Yellow Turban Road just to find out the news. Hearing Liu Zhang's question, the spy immediately replied: "General, Zhang Jiao died suddenly last night. There are no more than 100 people who know the news."
Three, and I was arranged by Zhang Jiao to wait outside the tent before he died. Zhang Jiao seemed to have known that he was going to die, and also knew that I was a spy, and wanted me to leak the news. If it weren't for Zhang Jiao's warrant, I
You can’t leave Guangzong City at all!”
"Yes! I understand! If you don't have to go back, just go down and rest!" Liu Zhang asked people to take Xizuo down and called Zhao Yun, Zhang Ren, Xi Zhicai and others.
After everyone arrived, Guo Jia explained the situation again. After hearing this, Xi Zhicai muttered: "My lord, if Zhang Jiao is using a trick, the price will be too high. But if it is true, Zhang Jiao has not
Is the truth so cheap to you?"
"Uh..." Liu Zhang was stunned, while Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei and Guo Jia, the three insiders, were laughing at the side, making Zhicai confused. Guo Jia laughed and said: "Zhicai, just think that Zhang Jiao is reasonable and cheap.
As for the reason, I will tell you later!"
"I understand!" Hearing what Guo Jia said, how could Xi Zhicai not know that there was something fishy in it? He chuckled and said: "Since Zhang Jiao has a reason to take advantage of the lord, then this news should be true! In other words, Po Guang
Zong is right now!"
"Don't worry, you've been waiting for several months, do you still care about these days?" Guo Jia said with a smile: "In a while, we will arrange for Xiao to sneak into Guangzong and directly spread the news about Zhang Jiao's death, saying that Zhang Bao wanted to seize the opportunity.
As General Tiangong, Zhang Jue was killed and Zhang Jue’s daughter was driven out of Guangzong City! By then, the morale of Zhang Bao’s army will inevitably be weakened, and we will just kill Zhang Bao as well!”
"Okay! This matter will be left to Fengxiao and Zhicai!" Liu Zhang unceremoniously became the hands-off shopkeeper.
"Yes!" Guo Jiahe Xi Zhicai was very happy. Divorce tactics are what these counselors like to do most. Didn't you see that in the early Han Dynasty, didn't Chen Ping rely on divorce tactics to become famous for hundreds of years? The value of counselors' existence is for
The Lord provides advice and creates trouble for the enemy.
It would take a few days to spread the news of Zhang Jiao's death. After Liu Zhang discussed the specific matters, he came to Zhang Ning's tent. After all, Zhang Jiao was Zhang Ning's father, so Liu Zhang still had to say hello in advance. To Liu Zhang's surprise, Zhang Ning
Ning was very calm when she heard the news of Zhang Jue's death. She gently told Liu Zhang that Zhang Jue had told her about it before Guangzong came out. Last night, she suddenly felt a pain in her chest, and she already knew that Zhang Jue had died.
.
Looking at the calm Zhang Ning, Liu Zhang really didn't know how to comfort him. He could see that Zhang Ning's calm appearance contained deep pain. Liu Zhang gently held Zhang Ning in his arms, and the two hugged each other for a long time.
.Suddenly, Liu Zhang stroked Zhang Ning's hair and said, "Although your father has passed away, you still have me. If you want to cry, cry!"
Originally, Zhang Ning had held back her grief. In fact, when she felt that Zhang Jiao was dead, she cried all night. If she had not known that Liu Zhang would come to comfort her, she would not have pretended to be strong. Liu Zhang's caring words turned out to be...
An ant nest on a thousand-mile long embankment, Zhang Ning's tears were like floods breaking through the embankment, out of control.
Until Liu Zhang felt his legs were a little numb, Zhang Ning was tired of crying, and she fell asleep on Liu Zhang's lap. Liu Zhang carried her to the bed and gently tucked her in. It looked like pear blossoms with rain.
Liu Zhang couldn't bear to blaspheme Zhang Ning, so he kissed Zhang Ning gently on the forehead and left Zhang Ning's tent.
For several days, Liu Zhang spent time with Zhang Ning, and Zhang Ning seemed to gradually come out of the shadows, but Liu Zhang knew that this strong girl just wanted to reassure him.
A few days later, Liu Zhang's careful work had spread the news of Zhang Jue's death to Guangzong City. The military morale of the hundreds of thousands of yellow scarf thieves in the city began to weaken, and many people fled Guangzong. Huangfu Song originally wanted to intercept, but
But Liu Zhang did not allow it. In fact, many of the Yellow Turban thieves were farmers who were too poor to survive. Why should the court have trouble with them?
Zhang Bao had been guarding Quyang City for half a month. First he heard that Zhang Liang was defeated, and now he heard the news that Zhang Jue was dead. He was immediately stunned! You know, Zhang Jue was the pillar of the entire Yellow Turban Road. With his death, Guangzhou
The Zongcheng was in danger.
Zhang Bao handed Qu Yang to Cheng Zhiyuan and rushed to Guangzong with hundreds of cronies. After arriving at Guangzong, Zhang Bao found that the reality was worse than the intelligence. There was a legend in Guangzong City that Zhang Bao killed Zhang Jiao for the position of General Tiangong.
!
Zhang Bao feels wronged, but now he has nowhere to appeal. Zhang Jiao is dead, Zhang Liang is also dead, and even Zhang Jiao's only daughter Zhang Ning is missing. What should Zhang Bao do? Zhang Bao discovered bitterly that back then,
The little girl he least cared about turned out to be the key to the success or failure of the Yellow Turban Road. In desperation, Zhang Bao could only forcefully gather the Yellow Turban Army in Guangzong City, but this only increased the credibility of the rumor! Some Zhang Jiao's
Diehard elements launched a series of attacks on Zhang Bao, leaving Zhang Bao in a state of despair.
"Lord!" Just as Liu Zhang and Zhang Ning were chatting with each other, Guo Jia hurriedly came with an intelligence report in his hand: "Zhang Bao has entered Guangzong. Guangzong City is now in chaos. Should we take action?
?”
Seeing Guo Jia arriving, Zhang Ning gently broke away from Liu Zhang's arms and stood aside handsomely. Liu Zhang took the information and looked at it with a smile: "Order Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Zhang Ren, and Huang Xu to guard the four gates of Guangzong respectively.
, I want everyone else alive, but Zhang Bao, I want his head. If anyone captures Zhang Bao alive by me, after I reward him, I will punish him with twenty sticks!"
"Uh..." Guo Jia looked at Liu Zhang in astonishment. This order was a bit strange. Liu Zhang said Zhang Ning's matter aside, and Guo Jia was also filled with indignation. Although Zhang Jiao was a rebel, his plight was really pitiable.
If we were to use eight words to describe Zhang Jiao's life, they would be: excusable circumstances, unforgivable sins!
As soon as Liu Zhang's order was issued, the entire Han army camp took action. After waiting for nearly half a month, they finally had a chance to fight. The most depressing person was Dong Zhuo. He was not there either to discuss matters with the Chinese army or to lead troops into battle.
What happened? He was gloriously ignored by Liu Zhang! Dong Zhuo thought that Liu Zhang still hated him, so he came to see Liu Zhang with gifts. But what he didn't know was that Liu Zhang had really forgotten him! Hearing that Dong Zhuo asked for an audience, Liu Zhang was very angry.
I asked in surprise: "Has he left yet? I thought he had left long ago!"
Dong Zhuo, who was waiting outside the camp, couldn't help but feel bitter when he heard the conversation between Liu Zhang and the schoolmaster. Of course, he didn't think that Liu Zhang had really forgotten him, but that Liu Zhang had not forgiven him. Dong Zhuo was heartbroken and knelt down on his knees.
He shouted outside the camp: "Dong Zhuo, the governor of Hedong, pays homage to the champion!"
Liu Zhang opened the tent and saw that Dong Zhuo was already kneeling on the ground. He asked doubtfully: "Prefect Dong, why are you doing this? Get up quickly!"
It was originally a very ordinary sentence, but it was no less than a thunderbolt from the blue in Dong Zhuo's ears. Dong Zhuo held the gift high and walked to Liu Zhang on his knees and said: "Back then, I somehow offended the champion, and now I am offering a small gift to make amends. If the champion does not forgive me,
I will die on my knees here!"
"Have you ever offended me?" Liu Zhang remembered that he had only met Dong Zhuo once, and except for that time when he beat up Dong Zhuo's guard, he had no grudges. As for the fight on the school field, since Hua Xiong lost, Liu Zhang was more
He didn't take it seriously. However, Liu Zhang saw that if he didn't forgive him, Dong Zhuo might really kneel down.
Liu Zhang took Dong Zhuo's gift and said: "Zhong Ying, I don't remember any grudges between you and me, so don't kneel here! Get ready, I'm going to attack Guangzong City!"
"General, please be the vanguard!" Dong Zhuo saw Liu Zhang accepting the gift and immediately asked for orders.
Liu Zhang nodded and said, "Okay!"
Dong Zhuo left overjoyed, and Liu Zhang felt a little baffled when he looked at his back!
In the evening, Liu Zhang summoned all the generals of the battalion. Of course, the four men who went out to ambush in advance were not counted. After arranging tasks in the camp, Liu Zhang ordered a rebellion at the third watch and a camp breakout at the fifth watch. After dawn, they stormed Guangzong City!
The next day, before all the Yellow Turban thieves in Guangzong City woke up, Liu Zhang's army had already arrived at the city. Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei stood on both sides of Liu Zhang, Dong Zhuo and Sun Jian stood behind Liu Zhang, and it was the Yellow Turban Army who stayed behind to guard the camp.
Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, Pei Yuanshao and three thousand Yellow Turban warriors.
"Commander, I will be the last to ask for orders to come first!" Under Guangzong City, Dong Zhuo bowed down on his horse with great excitement to ask for orders. He felt that if he did not apologize in time, most of the credit for attacking Guangzong would not go to him.
"Commander, let the last general take the lead!" Dong Zhuo requested, and Sun Jian was not far behind. You must know that Zhang Jiao is dead, and it will not be so easy to take credit again.
When Dong Zhuo saw Sun Jian fighting with him, he gave Sun Jian a hard look, but Sun Jian didn't care. As long as he made enough merit and made enough money, Sun Jian's status could instantly surpass Dong Zhuo's. Of course, climbing a big tree is also very important.
And Liu Zhang’s tree seems to be quite big.
Liu Zhang was very happy to see Dong Zhuo and Sun Jian fighting each other. These two would be his enemies from now on. Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Both generals want to ascend first, which puts me in a bit of a dilemma. Why don't we draw lots?"
"Catch...draw lots?!" Dong Zhuo and Sun Jian were confused. Liu Zhang, a little brat, actually used children's things to fool them. Drawing lots, it's better to guess the game faster! Sun Jian and Dong Zhuo shook their heads crazily and said: "
Commander, why don't we let the two of us attack the city together, and whoever goes to the city first will be credited?"
Liu Zhang smiled and said: "It seems that you have reached an agreement, so let's go together!"
"Yes!" Sun Jian shouted: "Han Dang, Zu Mao, Cheng Pu, and Huang Gai are coming with me!"
When Dong Zhuo saw that Sun Jian had summoned the four generals, he was not to be outdone and shouted: "Hua Xiong, Xu Rong, Li Jue, Guo Si, take down Guangzong, I will count you as the first!"
