Before Dong Zhuo returned to Liangzhou, he also mentioned Zhang Fei to Zhang Rang, and of course, a lot of silver. Therefore, the eunuchs in the imperial court also kept an eye on Zhang Fei. The Yellow Turbans had been causing trouble for more than two months, and the imperial court's armies had already achieved results. It was time to reward him. By the end of spring, Huangfu Song's letter of commendation had arrived. As Zhang Fei had rendered meritorious service in rescuing Dong Zhuo, the people in the imperial court allowed him to receive the order of peace and the minister of Zhongshan. The eunuch who came to announce the edict even reminded Zhang Fei that after the summer solstice, there might be another letter of appointment. Hearing this, Zhang Fei was immediately confused. He really did not know when he was so valued.
Zhang Fei was the only one who had attained the Dao, and the people around him were also lucky. Guan Yu and Zhao Yun were both appointed as deputy generals, leading Zhuo County's Sima and Guangzong's Sima. The Zhang brothers and Zang Hong were all appointed as small officials, and could be considered as small generals. However, it was still better than being a declining lieutenant in a small county.
Because many people were not familiar with the water when they crossed the Yellow River last time, under the suggestion of Lü Fang and Lü Meng, they led a river from the mouth of the Jing River to a low-lying land five miles away from Anping. After a few days, it had become a medium-sized lake. Zhang Fei listened to Lü Fang and set up more than ten boats here, and let Lü Meng lead his men to take turns to practice. If it were any other child, those old men in the Northern Lands would definitely not be convinced by Lu Meng. However, Lu Meng's calm and composed appearance in the stormy night had subdued thousands of men. Therefore, Zhang Fei was not worried that Lu Meng would not be able to suppress these hot-tempered boorish men. Moreover, Zhang Ji had volunteered to help Lu Meng. This kid and Lu Meng really had the same interests. When they saw that Little Fifth Brother of the Zhang family had come to help, those bad-tempered masters also stopped talking. Little brother of the Zhang family, it's already good enough that they didn't come and provoke you. If anyone wants to go up and fight, just wait to lie in bed for ten days to half a month.
Another period of time passed, and Su Shuang's horse team successfully returned to Jizhong. In addition to many precious medicinal herbs such as ginseng, the 500 good horses were an eye-opener for Zhang Fei and the others. Zhang Shiping was also very surprised by Su Shuang's harvest. He knew that this wine was a good thing in Donghu, but the wine he brought in the past could only be replaced with half of the items. It was not as exaggerated as Su Shuang's. Zhang Shiping thought about it and thought that Zhang Fei's wine must have become much more valuable. Guan Yu and the Zhang brothers all picked good horses. Although these horses still made Guan Yu shake his head, at least he didn't have to ride bad horses anymore. Among these brothers, only Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei's horses could be considered good horses. Zhao Yun's horse was called " Snow Dragging Spear ", also known as " Snow Flying ". It was a horse breed of the Qiang people. It couldn't carry too much weight, but it had good footwork and endurance. Most importantly, it was loyal. A " Snow Flying " horse only had one master in its life, which showed its loyalty.
Zhang Fei's black horse was called "Black General", also known as "Purple Gold Lion Monkey". It was hot-tempered and eccentric, but it had great strength. It could travel thousands of miles a day with a thousand pounds. It was the best horse among the best. This horse was produced in the Far West. Zhang Shiping had a family friend who was also a merchant who traveled extensively. Years ago, he obtained this horse in the Peacock Kingdom and later gifted it to Zhang Shiping. This horse was originally a colt. Zhang Shiping didn't care about it at first, but after so many years, no one could tame this horse. Therefore, he kept it in the Iron Casting Mountain Villa. When Zhang Fei returned to Anping from the Iron Casting Mountain Villa, Zhang Shiping remembered that there was such a BMW.
Zhang Fei spent a lot of effort to subdue this horse. He punched the Purple-Gold Lion Horse until it lost its temper. Now, it was obediently letting Zhang Fei ride on it. This horse was also very impressive. When crossing the Yellow River the other day, the other horses were panicking and making noise on the boat. Only this horse was actually sleeping leisurely. When it came ashore, it was shining brightly. Zhao Yun and Guan Yu were so shocked that they thought this horse was really something!
Another day later, Zhang Fei sent out conscription notices in Zhongshan County and Anping County at the same time because a Yellow Turban army was heading toward Zhuo County. The leader, Zhang Fei, learned that one of them was called Deng Mao and the other was called Cheng Zhiyuan. The 50,000-strong army had already marched to the northernmost part of Guangzong. If nothing unexpected happened, the army would arrive at Anping County in three days!
The Yellow Turban army had made such a big move because of Zhang Fei's rescue last time. Zhang Fei had broken through the Yellow Turban army of 100,000 in Changyi with 5,000 troops, which made General Zhang Jiao very angry. Therefore, he sent two of his valiant generals, Deng Mao and Cheng Zhiyuan, to attack Zhang Fei. At this moment, Zhang Fei's men were less than 10,000 after replenishing them. And Zhuo County's prefect, Liu Yan, a descendant of the emperor, had actually run to Luoyang at the first possible moment. After receiving a document from the assassination envoy of Yizhou, he had left Zhuo County, which no one was in charge of, to Zhang Fei. He had not even mentioned the news of the Yellow Turban army attacking Zhuo County to the court. How abominable!
Although Zhang Fei's current situation was not good, the momentum of the entire suppression of the Yellow Turban was very good. General Huangfu Song had already forced Zhang Bao's forces to retreat to the west of the river, and he had been suppressing them all the way, which made Zhang Bao very angry. Meanwhile, Zhang Jiao had assigned 50,000 men to his daughter Zhang Ning to urge Deng Mao and Cheng Zhiyuan to attack Zhuo County. Although the Yellow Turban Army was said to be in the millions, they counted the old, weak, women, and children as one person, as long as they were standing, lying down, and breathing. Now that Zhang Bao's troops had retreated to the west of the river, they did not dare to fight casually. If there was such a reinforcement at this time, Huangfu Song's troops would not be able to fight so easily. At the very least, they wouldn't have to use 50,000 soldiers to force Zhang Bao's 100,000 men to flee.
At the same time, the situation in the south had been opened up. The imperial court's army had been pushing Zhang Liang's troops from Sihuai to Shouchun, forcing them to retreat north of Yangzhou. Therefore, if Zhang Jiao did not win a single battle in a short period of time, the morale of his Yellow Turban soldiers would soon collapse. He had no chance of winning in any of the battles. Only Zhang Fei, Zhuo County, was a place with few soldiers. If he won a battle, he might have some achievements in Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and Yuzhou. Otherwise, if Yuzhou was lost, he would be like a god descending to the mortal world. Moreover, although the Yellow Turban Army was making a big scene, the people under them were actually carrying out their orders very badly. The people had long hated them to the core. Losing the hearts of the people, it was a waste of effort no matter how vigorous it was.
Zhang Fei quickly gathered ten thousand strong people to defend the city and set up camp south of Anping. Guan Yu led two thousand soldiers to guard the left wing, Zhao Yun ordered two thousand soldiers to guard the right wing, and four hundred cavalry to be used as surprise troops. Zhang Fei knew that there was no way to fight with all his might. He could only use a plan, but how would he do it? Zhang Fei thought hard for a long time but could not think of a good plan.
Zhang Fei was still thinking of countermeasures these few days. His brows were tightly knitted, but he still did not know what to do. Guan Yu and Zhao Yun were also anxious when they saw this, but they could not help much.
"Big brother! Let's eat first and think about it." Guan Yu called out to Zhang Fei, who was deep in thought.
Zhang Fei replied stiffly,"Yunzhang, you and Zilong go eat first. I'll think about it!”Seeing this, Guan Yu pushed her out and shook his head at Zhao Yun, who was standing outside the door. Zhao Qi 'er pouted and said,""My brothers came personally to call the black-faced bull, but they didn't appreciate it. What's there to be afraid of when the Yellow Turban soldiers come? As long as they went up and set him on fire, they would never return!”Zhao Qi 'er said angrily. Guan Yu and Zhao Yun glared at her, scaring her so much that she stuck out her tongue and quickly lowered her head without saying anything. However, she did not know that Zhang Fei's door had suddenly opened. His face was full of smiles. Something good must have happened.
"Haha! I got it!" Zhang Fei opened the door and laughed loudly, leaving Guan Yu and Zhao Yun confused. Zhang Fei, who was still lifeless just a moment ago, suddenly became determined and spirited again.
"Big brother! Do you have a plan to defeat the enemy?" Zhao Yun was the first to understand and asked with a smile.
"That's right!" Zhang Fei smiled and replied," It's all thanks to Little Qi 'er. Otherwise, I wouldn't have thought of this method.”When Zhang Fei said this, Zhao Qi 'er, who had been lowering her head, immediately perked up. She raised her head high and looked at Guan Yu and Zhao Yun with a smug expression, as if she was the one who came up with the plan. Guan Yu and Zhao Yun looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
"What plan is it?" Guan Yu had gotten to the main point, but seeing Zhang Fei's words, he thought that it must have something to do with the fire." Is it a fire attack?”
"Yes and no!" Zhang Fei said with a smile. This time, Zhao Yun and Guan Yu were puzzled. They looked at Zhang Fei, wanting to know the answer.
"I'm still not mature enough to think about this. I'll think about it carefully before telling the two brothers.”After saying that, Zhang Fei laughed loudly and ran out, causing the surrounding people to be annoyed. Zhao Qi 'er was also very unhappy. This Zhang Fei had kept everyone's appetites in suspense, but now he did not speak. This made her feel that Zhang Fei was detestable.
In the Yellow Turban army dozens of miles away, Deng Mao and Cheng Zhiyun stood beside a female general respectfully. This woman was Zhang Jiao's daughter, Zhang Ning. This woman had a graceful figure and a peach blossom face, but she was a little cold. If she were to smile, she would really make everyone around her beautiful. She was really like a flower. Her upper body was covered in soft armor, with a few yellow scarves scattered on it. She wore a bright jade light helmet on her head, and her fair hands were exposed outside the armor. At her waist was a Coiling Dragon Sword. Although she was a woman, she had an endless aura. This woman really did not like red makeup and loved equipment.
"Young Master! I wonder when our army will attack Anping?" Deng Mao asked respectfully. In their opinion, although Zhang Ning was a woman, she was more intelligent than a man. She was only stronger than a man. Ever since they had withdrawn their flag and rebelled, Zhang Ning had been the one to pull off so many brilliant schemes. Therefore, apart from her identity as Zhang Jiao's daughter, just this ability alone was enough to make them admire her. Therefore, everyone in the army had helped her become a marshal.
"Young Master! The five brothers of the Zhang family of Anping have outstanding martial arts skills and are rare experts in the world. A while ago, they repeatedly exterminated the bandits in the surroundings and broke through the siege of our army. It can be seen that they have capable people in their army to help! It was already difficult to deal with these five fierce generals in an army. With the help of an expert, it would probably not be easy to attack.”Cheng Zhiyuan was originally a martial artist and had no strategy to speak of. However, this time, Zhang Ning raised his head and looked at him. In fact, how could he know that Zhang Fei had planned to surround the army and had some expert to help him? It was all Zhang Fei's idea. There was a reason why Cheng Zhiyuan was so proud of others and so demoralized himself. It turned out that when they besieged Dong Zhuo last time, the commander of the army was Cheng Zhiyuan himself. Although he wasn't the one who made the decision, when he saw Zhang Fei's bravery that day, he instantly lost three souls and seven spirits. He didn't want to see Zhang Fei, the God of Killing, anymore. That day, Zhang Fei's armor was stained with blood, and his ferocious expression was really chilling. Now that he thought about it, Cheng Zhiyuan couldn't help but shiver. Deng Mao, who was beside him, looked at him with disdain.
"I have my own plans for attacking Anping this time. You guys just have to do your own jobs.”Zhang Ning didn't say much. He looked at Cheng Zhiyuan coldly and then closed his eyes."You guys can go out. I want to rest.”The two of them walked out respectfully when they heard Zhang Ning's words.
As soon as the two left, Zhang Ning opened his eyes and said softly,"Zhang Yide from Jizhong? He's just a martial artist!"
At this moment, in Anping County, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, and the others were drinking. They were very free. It seemed that a great battle was coming, so it was better to drink than to waste time thinking.
