When I became the general of the Northlands, the situation wasn't very favorable for me. Dong Zhuo, this prodigal, almost squandered Lu Zhi's family fortune. However, it was fortunate that Zhang Rang gave me face. There was an endless supply of rations and military supplies, and he even gave me three thousand imperial guards. Anyway, it was not his money. When I was in Lu Zhi's camp, there were 50,000 people. But when I came, there were only 15,000 to 16,000 people. Fortunately, my 15,000 cavalry troops are still intact. However, Dong Zhuo is quite good at plundering. Because I came here quickly, these things all became mine. Eight thousand warhorses was not a small number, and there were also countless gold, silver, and jewelry.
I reorganized these 10,000 plus people, along with the 3,000 guards sent by Zhang Rang. My army has reached 30,000 men, of which 20,000 are cavalry, 10,000 are tiger leopard first army, and 10,000 are tiger leopard second army. There are 8,000 infantry, and I'll let Ju Shou temporarily command them. The rest of the Tiger Guards remained unchanged. I let Qiushou lead these infantry to tour my Iron Cavalry Camp. After seeing it, these infantry began to train like crazy.
I struck while the iron was hot and said to them,"As long as you follow me, I'll eat meat. I won't let you drink soup." However, if you want to eat meat, take it yourself. If you don't have the ability, the Yellow Turban Army will take care of you.”Therefore, when these troops heard this, they began to train their troops. I didn't forget what I saw and heard along the way. I educated these people, including my former troops, about why they were fighting, who they were fighting for, who were their friends, and who were their enemies. Just like that, I'm ready. They began to switch from strategic defense to strategic offense.
At this time, I started to attack Zhang Jiao's supplies, using a siege tactic. Using my cavalry to harass the enemy's main force. Use the main force to destroy the small forces that are left alone. Zhang Jiao couldn't help but use his main force to fight me. I'm strictly guarding and not fighting.
The Yellow Turban Army suffered heavy casualties, but our army was as stable as Mount Tai due to our strong defense. At this moment, the Yellow Turban soldiers split into two sides. One person rode out on a horse. The Yellow Turban soldiers behind him were clearly equipped differently from the other Yellow Turban soldiers. The Yellow Turban Army was well-equipped, and its military and political quality was not an ordinary army. "General Cao, please speak!" the man shouted.”"Who are you?" What right do you have to ask General Cao to talk to you?" "This old man is Zhang Jiao. I have something to say."”I saw that this person was thin, not tall, with disheveled hair, but his movements were somewhat unrestrained.
I said,"I am Cao Cao. If you have something to say, say it. If you have a fart, say it!"”Both sides laughed at my words. Zhang Jiao didn't get angry and said,"Indeed, heroes come from young people. But you're not helping the devil. Wake up, young man. Now that the imperial court was corrupt and the world was in chaos, this world would be destroyed sooner or later. Why must you be so persistent, causing these innocent people to lose their homes and causing those innocent soldiers to be beheaded? How could you bear to do that? Just for your own fame? I really feel sorry for you.”
You want to convince me and even dare to injure me? You old thing, it's already not bad if I don't kill you today. Just you wait. I lowered my voice." You're very wrong. Who is the one who made the innocent people lose their homes? Who is the one who made the innocent soldiers suffer in the war? Don't you feel anything? " For your unspeakable ambition, you bewitched these kind people to leave their ancestral homes and live a life of murder and arson everywhere. For yourself, you made so many people hate you in the underworld. Even if it's for these people, I'll tear you into pieces. Hurry up and go back to wash up. On the road to the underworld, let your disciples and grand-disciples take revenge on you. My soldiers are here to destroy you, the evil demon king. Even if you die, you are still a real man. If you can fight for the common people of the world, why should I fear you? If I die for the common people of the world, why should I hate you? Brave warriors, let us behead this demon and offer sacrifices to those innocent undead.”
After saying that, I looked at the eager soldiers and shouted,"Brothers, wipe out the Yellow Turbans and capture Zhang Jiao alive. Charge with me!" The whole army shouted,"Kill the Yellow Turban soldiers and capture Zhang Jiao alive."”The cavalry behind me split into two groups, led by Yan Liang and Wen Chou. I led the charge, followed closely by Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Zhang Fei's Tiger Guards. My charge caused a chain reaction. The entire army of thirty thousand men attacked Zhang Jiao together.
A general of the Yellow Turban army shouted,"Protect General Heaven Duke. The rest of you, follow me."”He saw that the general had a thick beard and a majestic appearance. When I saw this, I secretly nodded. This general shouted,"Where is Cao Cao? Zhou Cang is here. Who will fight me?”I looked at Zhang Fei and said,"Yi De, I'll leave it to you. I want him alive."”Zhang Fei galloped over and knocked Zhou Cang's spear away in a few moves. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhou Cang. When the Yellow Turban soldiers saw this, they were scared witless. Zhang Jiao was also shocked. He hurriedly ordered his guards, who were better equipped than the other Yellow Turbans, to flee. When he saw that his carefully selected guards were given to him for nothing, Zhang Jiao completely collapsed. He turned his horse and fled.
With his departure, the Yellow Turban Army collapsed and retreated. I order the entire army to attack immediately. I shouted,"Brave warriors,'Nothing ventured, nothing gained.' Capturing Zhang Jiao alive is a great reward.”The entire army was like a ferocious tiger descending a mountain, attacking at full speed. In this battle, Zhang Jiao was defeated. He lost 50,000 to 60,000 men and captured 20,000 to 30,000. He thought of my words and felt anxious. After he went back, he fell ill and couldn't stand it. In addition, he was nearly fifty years old and his body couldn't take it. Our army returned triumphantly. He looked at Xun You and said,""Zhang Jiao will definitely die after this defeat.”Xun You said,"My lord, you can say that he's half dead. I think he's doomed for this great defeat."”Dian Wei, who was beside him, said,"You're so weak. I, Old Dian, haven't even had my fill before it's over."”I patted Dian Wei's shoulder and said," Don't get angry. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Just don't go soft on me."”"Really," Dian Wei said. After seeing me nod, he opened his mouth and laughed loudly.
Zhang Fei rode his horse over and threw Zhou Cang to the ground.""My lord, it's alive. I laughed."I'll reward you with a pot of good wine. How about it?”Zhang Fei's face was so beautiful. If he didn't control it, he could come over and hug me and kiss me. At this moment, Zhou Cang was tied up, and his face was pale. It seemed that Zhang Fei had taken care of him in a few moves, which was a big blow to him. However, he was not affected. His face was pale and black. Zhou Cang said,"Kill me, give me a quick death."”"There's no way I can get a bargain," I said.”"Then what do you want?" I laughed out loud." Ma Yuanyi's car is broken. Do you want to try it?" Zhou Cang said,"You dog officials just don't treat us commoners as humans."“
I said,"Who said that? I think you guys don't see yourselves as humans."”Zhou Cang was stunned. I saw that he was beginning to listen, so I said,"You're such a good man, but instead of serving the country, you followed Zhang Jiao to rebel. He succeeded and became the emperor. What about you guys? They can only be cannon fodder." Zhou Cang thought it made sense. I saw that he agreed, so I continued,"I saw that you are a loyal person, so I asked you to show mercy. I hope you will take care of yourself and cherish this useful body of yours.”
Zhou Cang knelt on the ground and said with tears in his eyes,"Cang Hen doesn't know reason. Now that I've lost my virginity to bandits, if General doesn't mind, I, Zhou Cang, am willing to be a foot soldier under my tent.”I quickly said,"You don't have to be so polite, I'll accept you."”"Thank you, my lord!" Zhou Cang said. "Congratulations, my lord!" I said,"Let's have a feast. Today, I'll give all the generals a little enjoyment. When we wipe out the Yellow Turban bandits, I'll give all the generals a drink."”"Understood!" Because of Zhou Cang's participation, many soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army also joined our army.
That night, Zhang Jiao died in his own camp. Before he died, he muttered,"Am I wrong? Am I wrong?" Zhang Jiao's troops escorted the body of their master to Zhang Liang, who was the commander of the Duke of Ren.
