Three Kingdoms Summoning: Peak Resurgence

Chapter 151 The calm before the storm

Speaking of which, Chen Mian's martial arts value is actually not weak, reaching 96 points. He not only has a weapon skill, but also a general skill.

With the help of external force from heaven, it is entirely possible to reach the level of a god general.

Unfortunately, he was not strong enough to face Zhu Wen and was killed in the chaos of the army.

Huang Chao, the main general of the Yellow Turban Army, went into battle himself, contrary to his usual practice, and killed many unknown generals. He was suddenly discovered by the generals who were charging into the chaos.

Yuchi Gong, Xun Xiang, and Wang Xian immediately rushed towards Huang Chao. On the battlefield, Wang Yu learned from the system's prompts that Huang Chao's current basic force was 103, and his peak force was 106!

However, Huang Chao was obviously not used to this force, and was in great danger of being killed by Yuchi Gong and his three companions. If Meng Kai and Zhu Wen had not risked their lives to come to the rescue, Huang Chao might have been killed by Yuchi Gong this time.

However, it was also because of the rescue of Meng Kai and Zhu Wen that Huang Chao was able to wait for his master, the Northern Spear King Zhang Churang, which saved him from danger.

However, Meng Kai was in a miserable state. Even though he had integrated the soul of a general, his martial arts skills were only at the top-notch level, and he had not yet immediately recovered to his peak strength.

This resulted in the fact that even with Zhu Wen's cooperation, he was unable to maintain his position and Wang Xian seized the opportunity and shot him down with one shot.

As for Zhang Churang, he was stopped by Tan Tai Yu.

Both of them have extraordinary skills, and the difference in strength between them is not that big, except that Tan Tai Yu is slightly stronger.

It would be difficult for Tan Tai Yu to defeat him without two hundred rounds of effort, assuming there were no accidents. However, with Meng Kai's death, Yuchi Gong immediately had time and rode his horse to support Tan Tai Yu.

Under the seal of the door god's skills, Zhang Churan's instant sniper lost a skill and could only exert 70% of his strength. In the end, he was repelled by Tan Tai Yu and Yuchi Gong.

Huang Chao failed to ambush Lu Zhi this time, and was instead ambushed by the Han army, causing great damage to his own strength. Huang Chao did not dare to move again and waited patiently for the arrival of other troops.

………………

After Zhang Jue, the God of Heaven, and other Yellow Turban leaders including Hong Xiuquan and Xiang Yan led their soldiers to Yanzhou, the place actually became peaceful.

But everyone knows that this is the calm before the storm. Yanzhou has now become a powder keg that may explode at any time.

The reason why the Yellow Turbans did not start a war immediately was to transport grain. All the grain and grass seized from the aristocratic families were moved to Yanzhou to ensure the safety of the grain route.

This time, the Yellow Turbans launched a deadly attack on the aristocratic families. The grain and fodder seized from several major states such as Yuzhou, Jizhou, and Yangzhou added up to more than 10 million dan. It would take more than a day or two to transport all of this grain and fodder.

Wang Yu directly calculated for the commander-in-chief Lu Zhi. Even if the Yellow Turban Army had tens of millions of civilians as its base, it would be difficult to move all the food and grass in less than one or two months.

Therefore, the Han army does not have much time left, because in one or two months, it will be the final battle between the Han Dynasty and the Yellow Turbans, and they only have so much time to prepare!

When Lu Zhi heard this, he was also shocked. First, he was amazed at Wang Yu's talent. Second, of course, he was worried about the situation of the Han army.

When entering Hulao Pass, Lu Zhi took stock of his own forces. He had 75,000 soldiers, while Cao Cao's Yanzhou aristocratic coalition only had 25,000 soldiers. Wang Yu had 15,000 men, and Zhu Jun had 40,000 men. The total strength of his own forces was only 150,000.

In Lu Zhi's opinion, even if the Han army had the natural barrier of Hulao Pass, they would not be able to stop the Yellow Turban Army, which had sufficient supplies and no worries, with just such a force.

After all, the gap in military strength between the two sides is too big.

Therefore, Lu Zhi immediately reported Wang Yu's calculations to the Luoyang court, which attracted the attention of Emperor Ling of Han. After combining the information from Da Shuihe, the Luoyang court decided to reinforce Hulao Pass.

Therefore, Liu Hong asked Zhang Rang to go to Bingzhou in person, and after letting Qin Wen stabilize Yanmen and Di Qing stabilize Yunzhong and Wuyuan, he immediately led his troops south to Luoyang, and then went to Hulao Pass to meet Lu Zhi's army.

Of course, facing the Yellow Turban Army with a million people, it is definitely not enough to rely on the two elite armies of Di Qing and Qin Wen. Therefore, other capable Han troops are also included in this call-up.

For example, Ding Yuan, who had entered Jizhou and helped Huangfu Song in the battle, was also recruited by the Han court to Hulao Pass.

In addition, there were Dong Zhuo who served as the prefect of Hedong, Liu Yan who served as the prefect of Zhuojun, Liu Yu who served as the governor of Youzhou, Liu Yao who served as the governor of Qingzhou, Tao Qian who served as the governor of Xuzhou, Gongsun Zan who served as the military commander of Liaodong, and so on.

In addition, there is a team of powerful families composed of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others.

As the survival of the Han Dynasty was at stake, Liu Hong no longer cared about so many things and directly transferred all his troops to Hulao Pass, as if he was determined to fight a decisive battle with the Yellow Turbans at Hulao Pass.

Bingzhou, Yanmen County.

"Mr. Hao, who did you say the person sent by the court was?" Qin Wen stood up immediately when he heard the name mentioned by County Magistrate Hao Tong. He looked at him seriously and said, "If I heard correctly, the envoy who came to announce the imperial decree this time is Zhang Rang?"

"My lord, that's exactly what happened!" Hao Tong replied to Qin Wen, and then he asked with some confusion: "My lord, I really don't understand why His Majesty sent Zhang Rang to announce the decree this time?"

"Of course it's because His Majesty is anxious, otherwise he wouldn't send out the eunuch Zhang Rang." Qin Wen replied. At this moment, a strange color flashed in Qin Wen's eyes, but Hao Tong didn't notice it.

Afterwards, Qin Wenyan said that although he did not like what the Ten Attendants did, for the sake of the development of Yanmen County, he still could not offend this group of powerful eunuchs, so he asked Hao Tong to prepare well.

He gave away 50,000 gold at once and pretended to be very distressed on his face.

Hao Tong was moved by this. For the future development of Yanmen County, no matter how much the lord hated the Ten Attendants, he still had to succumb to their tyranny.

Afterwards, Qin Wen asked Hao Tong to pass a message to Qin Hao, saying that since Dingxiang County had been captured, his mission was completed and there was no point in staying there, so he should just come back to accept the reward!

After sending away the county magistrate Hao Tong, Qin Wen instantly thought of a problem, that is, the true identity of the eunuch Zhang Rang. If his fourth brother Qin Jian saw him, he would definitely not be able to accept it.

Thinking of this, Qin Wen immediately found a reason and sent Qin Jian to Yanmen Pass. Although Qin Jian was also very confused, he still accepted the task after Qin Wen's persuasion.
