"Governor Qin Jie! The Yellow Turban bandits are attacking the city!"
A small soldier rushed forward and reported to Qin Jie. Qin Jie nodded.
"Here."
The person who spoke was Qin Jie, the prefect of Wancheng. He was dressed in an official robe and wore a crown on his head. He looked dignified and had an imposing aura. The corners of Qin Jie's mouth curled up slightly.
"Zhang Mancheng? Divine Envoy? You're just a bunch of self-deceiving people. It would have been fine if you hadn't come to attack Wan City. Since you've come to attack Wan City, I'll make sure you never return! After all, you only know that there is Qin Jie in Wan City, but you don't know that there is a fierce tiger here!”
"Brothers, charge! Hahaha! The imperial court's soldiers are all useless! After we occupy Wan City and rest for a while, we can go north to meet up with the great teacher! Everyone, charge!"
At this time, the Han army on the city wall was already retreating. The Yellow Turban soldiers saw this and became even more courageous. Zhao Hong shouted and took off his clothes. He held a shield in his left hand and a knife in his right hand and personally charged forward. Qin Jie saw this from the wall and gave an order. The Han army retreated orderly from the city wall. In less than a moment, Zhao Hong led the Yellow Turban soldiers to occupy the city wall. He ordered people to open the city gate and led people to pursue Qin Jie. Han Zhong and Sun Xia's troops also entered Wancheng.
Outside the city, Zhang Mancheng saw that Wan City had been breached. He breathed a sigh of relief and became more cautious. He was about to lead the remaining Yellow Turban soldiers to follow Wan City when he heard the sound of a cannon behind him. Zhang Mancheng quickly turned around and saw a man wearing a red turban and wearing a tattered silver armor. He was riding a horse with a flower mane and holding an ancient ingot knife. He led two thousand cavalry to charge at him. Zhang Mancheng's eyes were wide with anger as he ordered Zhao Hong to take Wan City. He turned around and shouted,"
"Circle Formation!"
As he spoke, the man had already arrived.
"Zhang Mancheng!" Sun Jian, the Tiger of River East, was here, so why not surrender!!”
The two armies met!
Zhangjiao Yellow Turban Camp beside Ye City, Jizhou
"Hahaha, Gong 'er led his troops to charge into the formation the other day! Although they did not defeat the enemy and kill Lu Zhi, they had broken through the Han army camp! It made the army lose their will to fight! It's also a great merit!"
Zhang Jiao sat at the head of the table. It was obvious that he was in a good mood.
"This isn't Gong's work alone. Zhou Cang, Lei Gong, Niu Jiao, Da Mu, Deng Mao, and Du Yuan followed me to charge the front lines. Guan Hai, Zhiyuan, Bai Qi, and Bu Yi were the commanders in the formation.”
Zheng Gong's words were modest, but a smug expression appeared on his face.
Zhang Jiao waved his hand, a worried look appearing on his face.
" Merits and demerits are in the hearts of the people. Gong 'er, you don't have to decline. However, although we defeated Lu Zhi, Zhang Bao, Zhang Liang, and Bo Cai fought with Huangfu Song and Zhu Wei in Yingchuan. Although we have the upper hand, it is difficult to determine the outcome in a short period of time. Mancheng is attacking Nanyang and Pengtuo is fighting in Runan. Moreover, above Jizhou is Youzhou. Although it is vast and sparsely populated, it is a horse-producing area. Now Liu Yan, a relative of the Han Dynasty, is guarding this place. I want to divide my troops to take it. Who is willing to lead an army each?"
Zheng Gong stood up and said,"
"Who else but me? I am willing to lead the army…"
"No, no, it's all thanks to the presence of Heaven Duke and Qu Shuai that we were able to kill the Han army. Moreover, why would Qu Shuai Zheng have to take action for such a small matter? I, Cheng Yuan, am willing to lead an army to attack Youzhou!”
"That's right. If we have to trouble you for everything, what use are we? I'm willing to lead the army to support the general of the earth and the general of the people!”
Cheng Yuanzhi and Bu Yi walked out from behind Guan Hai and cupped their fists.
Seeing Cheng Yuanzhi and Bu Yi volunteer to fight, Zheng Gong didn't want to fight. After all, Zhang Ning was here, and Zheng Gong didn't want to travel far. He sat back down. Seeing this, Zhang Jiao said,"
"In that case, Cheng Yuanzhi will lead Deng Mao and ten thousand followers to the north. We must take Youzhou. Bu has already led twenty thousand followers to the south to help the Earth Duke and the General of the Human Duke. We will defeat Huangfu Song as soon as possible, then Zhu Xi, and then go north to surround Lu Zhi!”
"Here!"
Lu Zhi's Camp in Jizhou
"Ah! Lu Shuwu's son died so miserably!!! Yellow Turban Thief! I, Lu Zhi, will kill all the Yellow Turban thieves in the world!!! Otherwise, you'll be a father!"
It was Lu Zhi who had learned from the spy that Lu Shu had been thrown into a pot of oil and killed after entering the Yellow Turban camp. He felt as if a knife had been twisted in his heart and could not cry.
Lu Zhi's eldest son had died early, and this time, he had lost his second son. He truly experienced the pain of " the white-haired man sending the black-haired man away " once again. However, Lu Zhi was, after all, a general of the Han army, a famous Confucian scholar of the present day. Although he wanted to take revenge, he knew that the Han army had no fighting spirit. If he fought forcefully, he would only die in vain.
Lu Zhi could only suppress the hatred in his heart. Although Dong Zhuo, Gongsun Zan, and the others tried their best to restore the morale of the army, the effect was very little. Lu Zhi sighed in his heart, sighing that there was no one as brave as Zheng Gong in the Han army camp. He could only hang up the exemption card to stabilize the morale and send people to urge Huangfu Song to come and attack Zhang Jiao.
A few days later, Youzhou.
Liu Yan, the prefect of Youzhou, was a native of Jingling in Jiangxia and a descendant of King Gong of Lu in the Han Dynasty. He found out that the Yellow Turban bandits had come to attack Youzhou and summoned Lieutenant Zou Jing to discuss it. Zou Jing said to him,"
"There are many Yellow Turban rebels, and we have few soldiers. The prefect should post a notice to recruit righteous men to respond to the enemy.”
Liu Yan agreed with him and immediately issued a notice to recruit soldiers.
However, when this notice was posted in Zhuo County, it drew out a hero from Zhuo County.
The man was generous and kind, good at talking, ambitious, indifferent to his emotions, and loved to make friends with heroes all over the world. He was seven feet and five inches tall, with ears and shoulders, hands above knees, eyes that could look at his ears, a face like jade, and lips like grease. He is Liu Bei, the great-great-grandson of Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan and Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.
Once upon a time, Liu Zhen, the son of Liu Sheng, was granted the title of Marquis of Zhuolu Pavilion during Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. Later, he lost the title of Marquis because of his crime of stealing gold, so he left this branch in Zhuo County. Liu Bei's grandfather was Liu Xiong, and his father was Liu Hong. Liu Hong was once elected as a filial and honest official, and he died early.
Liu Bei lost his father when he was young and served his mother very filial. His family was poor, so he sold shoes and woven mats as a profession. He lives in the village of Lou Sang in this county. To the southeast of his house, there was a big mulberry tree, more than fifty feet high. From a distance, the children looked like the covers of cars. The physiognomist said,"There must be a noble person in this family.”
When Liu Bei was a child, he played with the village children under a tree. He once said: "As the Son of Heaven, I shall ride on this carriage.”
His uncle Liu Yuanqi was surprised by his words and said to others: "This child is not an ordinary person!" When he saw that Liu Bei's family was poor, he often gave him money. When he was fifteen years old, his mother sent him to study abroad. He once studied under Zheng Xuan and Lu Zhi and became friends with Gongsun Zan and others.
On this day, when Liu Bei saw Liu Yan posting a notice to recruit soldiers, he could not help but think that he was already twenty-eight years old this year. Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh.
