On the other hand, after Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang withdrew from Quyang, the followers of the Path of Peace gathered around Yingchuan in just a few days. The defeated Yellow Turban Army of Changshe also swarmed over. A few days later, they gathered another 70,000 to 80,000 troops. It was a great force. Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang regrouped in Quyang City and trained their troops day and night, preparing to fight the Han army again.
After the Yellow Turban army was defeated by Changshe Huo, Huangfu Song and Zhu Wei had planned to lead the Han army to pursue Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang in the direction of Guangzong in Jizhou. Unexpectedly, just as they were about to start their army, they met Cao Cao, the commander of cavalry, who led them back. He said that Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang had gone to Quyang. After joining Cao Cao's army, Huangfu Song and Zhu Wei took a break and prepared to go to Quyang.
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to leave, the imperial court issued an order saying that Dong Zhuo would take over Lu Zhi's crusade against the Yellow Turban bandits in Jizhou. Unexpectedly, he was defeated by the Yellow Turban bandits in just a few days. Only 30,000 of the 60,000 troops were left. Now Dong Zhuo was holed up in his camp and did not dare to fight. The emperor heard that the East Zhonglang General Huangfu Song and the West Zhonglang General Zhu Wei had defeated the Yellow Turban bandits Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang in Changshe. Therefore, he urgently ordered General Huangfu Song of Dongzhong to immediately head north to Jizhou to replace Dong Zhuo and lead the Han army in Jizhou to attack the thief leader Zhang Jiao (Because he was defeated by Zheng Gong, he didn't know that Zhang Jiao and Zheng Gong had already run away).
After Huangfu Song received the decree, he split up with Zhu He and led Cao Cao with 5,000 Han cavalry to Jizhou. Zhu He led 30,000 Han troops to Quyang. On the way, he met Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei with 4,000 troops. Zhu He gladly accepted them. Zhu He treated Liu Bei very well and united his troops to Quyang to attack Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang.
At the foot of Black Mountain in Jizhou
"General Heaven Duke! We're finally here!"
The one who asked was Guan Hai, the Yellow Turban canal commander. Even someone as skilled as Guan Hai could not help but feel physically and mentally exhausted after traveling day and night for five consecutive days and nights from Guangzong City. However, this was no longer a problem because Zhang Jiao had finally brought more than 200,000 followers of the Path of Peace.(Originally, there were more than 100,000 of them. Later, when Zhang Jiao was traveling westward, more followers of the Path of Peace joined him. By the time they reached the Black Mountain, there were already more than 200,000 of them.)
At this moment, Zhang Jiao, who was standing at the forefront and looking up at the mountains of the Black Mountain, heard Guan Hai asking him behind him. He turned around and said to Guan Hai," From now on, you don't have to call me 'General Heaven Duke' anymore. Just call me by my original Taoist name,'Great Virtuous Master!'" There are hundreds of millions of stars, not as bright as a day. It is better to have a virtuous person in the country than to have a group of people who support the sky. From today onwards, I, Zhang Jiao, am no longer the 'General Heaven Duke' of the Yellow Turban Army, but the 'Great Virtuous Teacher' of the Path of Peace!!”
Guan Hai's face turned red when he heard this. He raised his hands to the sky and shouted loudly!
"Great teacher! Great Sage ~ Good Teacher!"
Gradually, the approaching Yellow Turban generals began to shout, followed by the followers of the Path of Peace nearby. In the end, a total of 200,000 followers of the Path of Peace were shouting the words " Great Virtuous Teacher." The sound traveled for miles and shook the sky!
The 20,000 Yellow Turban Iron Cavalry slowly moved along the main road. In the middle of the army was a carriage. Although it was a carriage, it was pulled by a Red-haired Ox. There were four guards around it. They were Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, Bian Xi, and Pei Yuanshao. The four of them either held a saber, a spear, a chain hammer, or a podao. It was obvious that the people in the carriage were the Yellow Turban Mad Dragon Canal Commander Zheng Gong and his wife Zhang Ning.
"Husband, who is it? There's actually someone in the world who can hurt you!"
Zheng Gong was sitting cross-legged in the carriage, his face pale and bloodless. Zhang Ning was kneeling at the side, holding a bowl of talisman water with both hands and asking with concern.
Zheng Gong took the talisman water and drank it. After a while, he laughed and said," Don't worry, Madam. Guan Yu's injuries are much more serious than mine. He was knocked off his horse by my Mountain-Quelling Whip."”
Zheng Gong waved his hand and said indifferently," Madam, this battle is a blessing and not a curse. After this battle, my martial arts have improved by a hundred feet. The next time I meet Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, I will definitely let them experience my unparalleled bravery!"”
When Zhang Ning saw this, he shook his head with a helpless smile and said in a coaxing tone," Okay, okay, I understand. Husband's bravery is unparalleled. Please recuperate well and fight again on the battlefield in the future."”
"Yes!"
Zhang Ning saw that Zheng Gong was not energetic enough, so he let Zheng Gong rest on his knees. As expected, Zheng Gong fell into a deep sleep after a while.
In Quyang City
Zhang Bao, Zhang Liang, Bo Cai, and Gao Sheng gathered in the hall." Second Brother, the scouts have reported that Bu Yi…is probably dead.”
It was Zhang Liang who spoke first. Zhang Bao sighed deeply but did not say anything. Bo Cai, who was standing beside him, said," General Di Gong, General Ren Gong, the Han army from Yingchuan has gathered 30,000 troops under the leadership of the Han general Zhu Xi and is heading straight for Quyang. Although we have 80,000 troops, we only have 40,000 people who can fight. The Han army is taking advantage of our victory to come. I'm afraid this time…"
Bo Cai didn't finish his sentence and remained silent. After a long time, Zhang Bao said,"
"Don't worry, Bo Cai. If the Han army comes, let them see my Zhang Bao's spells and divine powers!”
A few days later, Zhu Wei led his army to attack. After setting up camp at the foot of a mountain on the edge of Quyang City, he led Liu Bei out of the camp and fought a decisive battle with the Yellow Turbans. Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang led more than 40,000 Yellow Turbans out of the city and camped behind the mountain.
Zhu ordered Liu Bei to be the vanguard and lead 5,000 Han troops to fight against the Yellow Turbans.
Seeing this, Zhang Bao also sent Deputy General Gao Sheng to lead 5,000 Yellow Turban soldiers out of the formation to fight. The Yellow Turban Han army each had 5,000 horses, and in a short while, they collided with each other. The 5,000 Yellow Turban soldiers each held a shield in one hand and a saber in the other. Under Gao Sheng's command, they formed a circular formation. The shields were put together one by one, and it could be said to be invulnerable, blocking the Han army outside the formation.
Seeing this, Liu Bei quickly ordered Zhang Fei to attack and kill the generals in the formation. Zhang Fei rode out with his spear and rushed to the front of the Yellow Turban Shield Formation. The eighteen feet long Snake Spear swept out suddenly. With one blow, dozens of Yellow Turban soldiers were swept away. Zhang Fei instantly made a hole in the circular formation set up by the Yellow Turban soldiers!
Zhang Fei rode his horse into the battle, and the Han army followed closely behind. Zhang Fei charged into the Yellow Turban formation with an eight-foot Snake Spear in his hand. No one could stop him! It did not take long for Zhang Fei to reach Gao Sheng. Gao Sheng quickly drew out his sword and went forward to fight Zhang Fei. However, the Flying Snake Spear was far more common than ordinary weapons. Just as Gao Sheng was about to go forward, he stabbed the spear towards Gao Sheng's face!
Gao Sheng turned pale with fright and used his sword to block the spear. However, Fei's strength was so great that he knocked away the sword in Gao Sheng's hand. With a loud shout, he used the spear to stab Gao Sheng off his horse!
Gao Sheng had used all his strength to block Zhang Fei's spear, but unexpectedly! Zhang Fei suddenly opened his mouth and roared angrily!
Instantly, Gao Sheng felt dizzy and his eyes swelled. His head tilted and he fell off the horse. Seeing this, Zhang Fei naturally stabbed his Snake Spear downwards and killed Gao Sheng.
Liu Bei quickly commanded his troops to charge forward. When the vanguard of the Yellow Turban army saw that their commander was dead, the Han army suddenly charged forward! They instantly fled in defeat.
At this moment! However, another general rushed out of the Yellow Turban army! That person was wearing a yellow turban and a light yellow robe. The bronze halberd in his hand shone with a cold light, and the black tiger steed beneath him galloped with the wind! This person was the Yellow Turban 'General Ren Gong', Zhang Liang!
After a while, Zhang Liang rushed into the formation. When the defeated Yellow Turban soldiers saw Zhang Liang coming, they became brave again and turned around to fight the Han army again. When Zhang Fei saw Zhang Liang charging at him, he roared angrily and rode on his horse. In a moment, the two of them had met. They raised their spears and attacked each other. The two of them turned their horses around and rode on their horses to fight again!
"Clang!"
Zhang Fei smashed down with his spear and tried his best to suppress the long spear. He laughed and said," Who are you? I didn't expect that the Yellow Turban army had someone as strong as you besides Zheng Gong!”
Zhang Liang blocked the snake spear and stabbed three times with his spear, but Zhang Fei blocked all of them. Only then did he answer," I am the Yellow Turban 'General Ren Gong', Zhang Liang! You are the strongest Han general I have ever met! You can leave your name!"
Zhang Fei turned the Snake Spear with both hands and thrust it at Zhang Liang's chest. At the same time, he replied," It's Zhang Yide from Yan!!!”A loud roar came out from Zhang Fei's mouth, causing Zhang Liang's ears to go numb. However, Zhang Liang was not an ordinary person. Moreover, he had seen Gao Sheng's death just now, so he knew that he could do it. He was prepared for it. At that moment, Zhang Liang mustered up his energy and used a small branch on his halberd to hook away the Snake Spear. Unfortunately, because he was in a hurry, Zhang Liang could not use all his strength. The Snake Spear grazed his right shoulder, leaving a bloody wound. Blood sprayed out. Seeing this, Zhang Liang did not hold back anymore. He took a deep breath. Suddenly! The bronze halberd in his hand suddenly swung out.!!”
Zhang Liang shouted angrily. Four layers of shadows appeared on his bronze halberd, and he stabbed it at Zhang Fei's vital points. Zhang Fei snorted coldly and blocked the three layers of shadows with his snake spear. The last spear stabbed forward and hit the small branch of the halberd! The two of them were at a stalemate.
"Brother Liang, step down!"
Zhang Liang, who was in the formation, heard this and hurriedly pushed back Zhang Fei with his spear. He led the army and retreated. It was Zhang Bao, who was originally in the Yellow Turban formation, who suddenly rode forward. He immediately let go of his hair and held his sword. With a wave of his sleeve, a purple-gold talisman paper flew out from his sleeve and rushed into the sky. He pinched his fingers with his left hand and pulled out the Three Mountains on his back with his right hand, pointing it in the direction of the Han army. He muttered something and suddenly shouted!
"The Art of Peace! Yin soldiers, make way!"
At this moment, following Zhang Bao's spell, the world suddenly darkened. Wind and thunder suddenly appeared, sand and stones flew, black qi filled the sky, and rolling horses and horses descended from the sky! In the eyes of the Han army, they saw a storm and a gust of black gas descending from the sky. It was as if there were countless people charging at them from within the black gas, scaring the Han army so much that their faces turned pale!
