Lord Yuan

Chapter 234 Wing De’s plan
With Sun Jian involved, Zhang Fei, who was still complaining a little, suddenly felt that he had found an organization.

Sun Jian's background has already determined his future. It can be said that as long as there are no accidents, with the current abilities of Liu Bei and the other three, it will be difficult for them to catch up.

Even if there is teacher Lu Zhi behind him.

Lu Zhi not only had Liu Bei as his student, but Liu Bei's actual status in Lu Zhi's heart was nothing at all.

Fortunately, Liu Bei also joined the ranks of rangers when he was young. Coupled with his confidence in his own martial arts, Liu Bei never felt that he could not be a master.

This canopy of jewels deserves a place for me!
Even Sun Jian on the side suddenly noticed that Liu Bei in front of him seemed to be a different person, and his demeanor changed drastically.

"As expected of a student of Lu Shangshu!"

Sun Jian cupped his hands with a smile.

Guan Yu reminded him.

"Now Shangshu is the Zhonglang General, the same rank as Dong Zhuo. Sima Shang needs to be careful."

Sun Jian didn't care and laughed loudly and said: "It's just a small defeated general. He only relied on some bribes to achieve his current status. Now I can cut off the Yellow Turban with the sharp knife in my hand and worship the Duke." , Dong Zhuo knows about discipline!"

Guan Yu, who had always boasted of his extraordinary martial arts skills, also admired Sun Jian's magnanimity at this moment.

As the saying goes, the tiger from the east of the Yangtze River descends from the mountain, and the dragon and tiger are all powerful at every step!
Compared to his elder brother, Sun Jian was more of a wise master.

But these are just passing clouds.

Apart from Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, there will no longer be anyone loyal to Guan Yu in this life.

Whether he was a bandit or a prince, he was not as comfortable as staying with his brother.

Several people declined Sun Jian's kindness, followed the field path to Jizhou, and began to carry out the mission.

Liu Bei is now only in white, and has no armor on his body to defend himself. He only has a double-pronged sword on his waist. Due to the Gu Ying method practiced by the former master, his strength when practicing the double-pronged sword is almost as good as that of a first-floor general.

In these days, it is commonplace for everyone to act with force.

Liu Bei and the others did not encounter any obstruction, and even the yellow scarves who were close at hand did not take them seriously at all.

Xu Shi regarded them as some farmers in the field.

By the time they entered the city, the sky was gradually darkening.

The Yellow Turban Army guarding the county seat also quickly closed the city gate.

Arriving in this unfamiliar city, Liu Bei discovered that the number of yellow scarves in the city far exceeded his imagination while his sight was still vaguely bright.

Perhaps because this place is very close to Sizhou, which is at the foot of the emperor, the Yellow Turban Army also attaches great importance to its guarding strength.

After just a casual investigation, Liu Bei got a piece of news that frightened him.

The number of Yellow Turbans here alone is already over [-].

Although most of them were evolved from some local common people, compared to the well-equipped Han army, only a few had armor for self-defense.

But this does not affect the development momentum of the Yellow Turban Army at all.

Just another night passed.

Liu Bei was surprised to find that some of the farmers he saw yesterday were now carrying hoes and wearing yellow turbans, looking like yellow turbans.

As he kept walking along the country road, Liu Bei became more and more frightened as he watched.

Zhang Fei also put away his carefree smile and said solemnly: "Brother, there are so many thieves, and now there is a city wall to rely on. I am afraid that the minister will not be able to win the first battle, and if someone with intentions spreads the word, I am afraid that it will cause trouble again." Your Majesty is so angry for no reason!”

Guan Yu echoed from the side: "What the third brother said is true. Brother, Shangshu still doesn't know how powerful the city is. If you are provoked by Dong Zhuo's words and fall into the trap, I am afraid you will end up in jail."

Liu Bei said sternly: "No matter what, we must let the teacher know the interests and dangers of the city. This is not a momentary act of bravery. The power of the Yellow Turbans here means that if the three armies are mobilized, I am afraid that they will not be able to break the city overnight!"

"Brother, what should I do?"

Compared with the dispute with Dong Zhuo, how to break the city is more important right now.

Zhang Fei turned left and right on the spot, not looking at the cooking smoke burning in the city, but he immediately thought about it.

"Eldest brother, second brother, it is better to inform Shangshu of this matter as soon as possible, and you and I will take this opportunity to pretend to join the Yellow Turbans. When the time is right, we will sneak into the city gate guard, wait for Shangshu to lead the army to attack, and take advantage of the chaos to open the city gate. The Han army marches straight down, and it is impossible for the Yellow Turbans to resist!"

Liu Bei and Guan Yu both looked at Zhang Fei with expressions of disbelief, as if they were embarrassed by the two of them. Zhang Fei scratched his head: "Brother, second brother, what do you think of Zhang Fei's plan?"

Suddenly, Liu Bei patted Zhang Fei hard on the shoulder, which shocked him and thought something had happened.

Then Liu Bei praised Zhang Fei with a smile.

"With Third Brother's plan, defeating the Yellow Turban is just around the corner!"

Zhang Fei's eyes widened, and then he laughed again.

"Big brother also thinks this strategy is good!"

"It's not just good, it couldn't be better!"

However, even Liu Bei didn't know why Zhang Fei, who had always prided himself on force, could now use his brain to do things.

But Liu Bei was greatly surprised.

Zhang Fei smiled and explained the reason.

It turned out that since Liu Bei was still young, he had learned about some of Yuan Shao's glorious deeds from his hometown of Zhuojun.

At that time, Liu Bei wanted to be the No. 1 under the canopy, so he naturally admired Yuan Shao's great achievements.

Naturally, Yuan Shao's tactics and strategies were combined into a simple military book.

Of course, it can only be regarded as the roughest kind, but it is easier to understand.

Even Zhang Fei is extremely interested in some of the above content.

Zhang Fei's transformation today is mostly due to the military strategy written by Liu Bei.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei hurriedly asked Jian Yong to leave the city as soon as possible and go to see his teacher Lu Zhi.

As for why Guan Yu or Zhang Fei were not used, it was purely because Jian Yong's ability was not reflected in martial arts. On the contrary, if Jian Yong was the envoy, it would be just right.

If he stayed in the city and Liu Bei had to go out of his way to protect him when chaos was about to break out, he might as well take advantage of this opportunity and send him to the Han army's camp.

Jian Yong left the city smoothly.

Soon, I met Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi was quite impressed by Jian Yong, who often followed his student Liu Bei.

"Why didn't Xuande come back?"

Jian Yong makes a long story short.

When he heard that there were one hundred thousand Yellow Turbans in the city, even though Lu Zhi was used to the world, he couldn't help but be surprised.

Later, Jian Yong informed the people that the number of Yellow Turbans was increasing every day.

Lu Zhi sighed.

Of course he knew what these yellow turban thieves relied on.

Although the so-called age of Jiazi and good luck to the world is just a slogan, it can also be said to be a prophecy concocted by Zhang Jiao in order to gather momentum, but the reality is that those at the lowest level have been looking forward to the Yellow Turban for who knows how long.

Even if there is no Zhang Jiao, there will still be Li Jiao and Wang Jiao.For those Li Shu, the only truth is to fill their stomachs. Before this, the poor people who had experienced countless exploitations from above and below were even eager to raise a banner of resistance immediately.

Lu Zhi wanted to change this situation, but was unable to do so.

This world cannot be changed by the bold loyalty of one or two people.

Those Yellow Turbans were certainly hateful, they burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil.

But compared with what the corrupt officials in the DPRK did, the actions of these Yellow Turbans were actually seeking welfare for the public.

This is also the reason why the Yellow Turban Army was able to develop rapidly and sweep across the country with the momentum of a single spark that can start a prairie fire.

As long as the root causes are not cut down, there will still be Black Mountain Army and White Wave Army.

"Xuande took risks with his own life. If he succeeds, he will kill the enemy general without leaving the battle line and take advantage of the danger to seize the flag!"

Lu Zhi stroked his beard and said worriedly.

Jian Yong put away his smile, cupped his hands and said: "Xuande is a student of Shangshu, and he has to share his duties for Shangshu. This is Xuande's duty. What's more, he is an infantryman of the Han army. How can you achieve military success in a dangerous situation?"

Lu Zhi was slightly startled, then relieved.

Xuande was able to travel thousands of miles to follow him to conquer the Yellow Turbans. Compared with other students, he was considered a rare talent.

Why should I ask for more?

Jian Yong continued: "This is what Xuande always thinks about. Although Yong is not talented, he still feels that Xuande is so magnanimous that he can only be a small foot soldier."

Lu Zhi sighed.So why isn't he?

Even Gongsun Zan was able to take the opportunity to become a county magistrate after being spotted by the local eunuch. Of course, this was also due to Gongsun Zan's tough attitude towards Xianbei and his military exploits, but it has to be said that behind him Some people seem to be able to do things with ease no matter when they are.

Strictly speaking, Liu Bei's burden was more direct than Gongsun Zan's.

Putting Lu Zhi aside, the title of King Jing of Zhongshan alone is better than that of countless others, not to mention that Liu Bei himself is still so good.

"When this matter is settled, I will report it to Your Majesty and have him issue an edict to reward Xuande."

Jian Yong quickly raised his hands and thanked him: "In this case, Yong will thank the minister on behalf of Xuande for the time being."

"It doesn't matter, Xuande is my student, and as his teacher, I should be like this."

"Shang Shu, don't let Dong Zhuo know about this yet."

Jian Yong didn't pay attention to Dong Zhuo at all, and showed his contempt for him.

Lu Zhi thought about it for a moment and understood the reason.

He smiled and nodded.

Soon, under Lu Zhi's deliberate arrangements, the Han army under his control began to make a series of formation changes.

Huangfu Song, Dong Zhuo and others could naturally see these changes.

"What did Lu Shangshu find?"

Dong Zhuo took the lead in attacking. For him, the impact of victory or defeat would hardly be entangled with him.

But if Lu Zhi gets all the military success in wiping out the Yellow Turbans, all his plans will come to naught.

Even Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun looked surprised.

Lu Zhi is not a reckless person. If he can make such an arrangement, he must have discovered something.

Sun Jian, who was in Zhu Jun's queue, seemed to have thought of something. He glanced at Jian Yong, who had no change of expression, and immediately understood that Liu Bei was not seen.

But he didn't tell his guess. He just quietly withdrew from the team and called his troops. When the minister's troops start to take action, you must follow them closely. Take a look. What exactly is hidden?

Lu Zhi, however, did not hesitate and immediately dished out some of the information he knew.

Of course, after being reminded by Jian Yong in advance, Lu Zhi did not tell Liu Bei and others about their upcoming plan to trick Liu Bei into opening the city gate.

So, when Dong Zhuo heard that there were one hundred thousand Yellow Turbans in the county town not far away, he immediately understood what Lu Zhi was secretly planning.

"Shang Shu, I, Dong Zhuo, have offended me a lot just now, but everything was done for the sake of His Majesty. I hope that Shangshu will not mind."

Lu Zhi said nothing, but quietly looked at what medicine was sold in Dong Zhuo's gourd.

Then Dong Zhuo smiled and stepped forward to grab Lu Zhi's arm.

"I also hope that Shangshu can enable me to attack the city. The Yellow Turbans' vanguard force is definitely the best among the best. In order to reduce losses to Shangshu's troops, I, Dong Zhuo, am willing to take the lead and move forward bravely, just to defeat the Yellow Turbans as soon as possible. The city is here to thank His Majesty for the imperial seal."

Lu Zhi hesitated for a long time, looked at Jian Yong again, and nodded slightly reluctantly.

"Since General Dong Zhonglang has this intention, what else can I say?"

"Then thank you, Minister."

"you are welcome."

It’s really not certain who will thank whom.

With the appearance of Dong Zhuo, the enemy, the curtain of the first war with the Yellow Turbans was completely opened.

In order to make the siege proceed smoothly, Dong Zhuo even summoned the soldiers from Bingzhou who had been quietly following the rear of the Han army.

And what he did was to break through the city as early as possible.

When the time comes, the first memorial in front of His Majesty is written.

Now I heard that Qing's battle against the Yellow Turbans was overwhelming and he beheaded tens of thousands of people in a row. He should be rewarded for his great achievements.

At that time, Dong Zhuo's reputation will spread all over the country in an instant, and this is why Dong Zhuo is willing to let his direct descendants attack.

Dong Zhuo's strength is not low, but strictly speaking, if Dong Zhuo wants to truly enter the inner circle of the court, his background is still a trap that he cannot avoid.

His father was just a small county captain in Yingchuan, and the help he could give Dong Zhuo was almost nothing.

It can be said that he was able to reach this day only with the help of eunuchs such as Zhongchang Shi.

But that's it.

Although Liu Hong could tolerate such behavior, after all, the hidden income it brought made Liu Hong selectively turn a blind eye.

But once it comes to the content of the inner circle, Liu Hong seriously chooses to refuse.

Many of the things Liu Hong did were just to pull back the territory that was already on the edge of the cliff.

It is almost impossible to recreate a big man.

And Dong Zhuo naturally chose to bear the brunt.

After experiencing successive attacks, the momentum of the Yellow Turbans weakened a lot, but accordingly, Dong Zhuo's power also began to undergo a series of weakening.

He didn't understand.

There are nearly [-] infantry under his command.

Compared with the local governor, Dong Zhuo still had an absolute advantage in power.

So Dong Zhuo began to act what he thought was just.
