The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 83 Illness Zhao Feng (Outbreak)
"Holy Maiden, Holy Maiden of Peace."

After Tang Zhou hesitated for a moment, he said, not because of his friendship with the Yellow Turban, but because he obviously didn't know whether the news was correct.

"I just heard that Zhang Jiao seems to have a adopted daughter. There are also rumors that Zhang Liang or Zhang Bao has a daughter. In short, this woman is extremely talented and can practice the 36 volumes of "Taiping Tianshu". She is regarded as the true successor by Zhang Jiao, but I But I’ve never seen it before, so I don’t know if it’s true or not.”

"Saint of Peace? This is interesting."

It is definitely not the kind of weak person who can be crowned with this title in this era, but Wei Tao just finds it a little interesting.

After all, even Zhang Liang was beheaded with his own hands, and even Zhang Jiao was just a matter of Wang Yue's sword. How could this saintess be so powerful?
"However, after all, there are some troubles... But you can find out where the Yellow Turban Army is hiding?"

After thinking for a while, Wei Tao still asked.

"My lord, it would have been fine a year ago, but now..."

Although Tang Zhou was helpless, Wei Tao didn't care too much. Wei Tao didn't mean to put his hope on Tang Zhou.

Wei Tao first recruited Zhang Liao back. These days, Zhang Liao also ran around the entire Changshan Mountain. Although he didn't find the Spear King Tong Yuan, he already had a rough idea of ​​the general place in Changshan.

After talking about the matter, Zhang Liao understood that Wei Tao wanted to use this opportunity to control the entire Changshan County in one fell swoop.

"Wen Yuan, what do you think?"

Seeing that Zhang Liao was silent immediately after hearing what he said, Wei Tao, who was familiar with his temperament, felt a little strange, so he immediately asked.

"Your Excellency, I don't know. I visited Tongyuan on the orders of Your Excellency, and at the same time, I also investigated the conditions of the cities in Changshan. There are indeed traces of yellow scarves in many counties, but the Yellow Scarves are just like what your excellency said. In the past, people were generally recruited wantonly, so with its foundation, it is quite popular among the people."

Hearing this, Wei Tao nodded slightly. Sure enough, there are still capable people among the Yellow Turbans. Zhang Jiao's policy of quickly sweeping the world has changed into a way of occupying a place and then gradually developing to compete for the world.

"Hmph, it's fine if the Yellow Turban doesn't show up. Once it shows up, it will be the target of public criticism. Even if it is done like this now, it won't help. But with the ability of the Yellow Turban Way, there are still people who don't believe it?"

"Exactly. There is a big Zhao family in Zhending County, Changshan. Before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, they didn't believe in Yellow Turban Taoism. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, they even led everyone in the county to resist the Yellow Turban invasion. The situation is irreconcilable. After hearing that the Yellow Turbans are making a comeback, the Zhao family gathered the township party to defend them. Presumably they also know about the Yellow Turbans to some extent."

Does Chang Shan really determine the Zhao family?
Even with Wei Tao's temperament, he couldn't help but be a little taken aback. This is really hard to find, and it doesn't take much effort to get it.

"However, if the Yellow Turbans were hidden in Changshan County, it would not be difficult to find them. There are so many Yellow Turbans, and ordinary people can still be scattered in the countryside and form villages, but the Yellow Turbans cannot be dispersed. Hidden somewhere in the mountains."

At this moment Zhang Liao said again, this is what Wei Tao thought, if he really wanted to investigate, how could he not find out where the yellow scarf was?
"It's just that we can fight against the Yellow Turbans now? Although the three hundred soldiers are elite, if the Yellow Turbans really want to use Changshan as their foundation, the number of them may not be less than a thousand. It is impossible for one to fight against a hundred."

This is also the self-confidence of those officials who finally stood up to death. They don't think that Wei Tao has the strength to wipe out the Yellow Turban banditry now.

"Wen Yuan, just like the Zhao family, there are always people who are enemies of the Yellow Turban bandits, not to mention the Yellow Turban Bandits wreaking havoc on Changshan. Could it be that all the powerful families let them do what they want?"

Wei Tao smiled slightly, speaking with confidence naturally.

"However, since the Zhao clan took the lead in fighting against the Yellow Turban, we should invite them here first, and then see what happens to the others."

"promise!"

Now that Wei Tao is the prefect of a county, it is naturally impossible to stay here and invite him easily, but fortunately, the Zhao family has never been proud, so they rushed over immediately after hearing Wei Tao's invitation.

Obviously, the Zhao family is not procrastinating like those officials, and it only takes a day to arrive.

"This is Zhao Feng, the patriarch of the Zhao Clan."

When Zhang Liao led a young man in and introduced him, Wei Tao couldn't believe it. The young man in front of him was the one who dared to fight the leader and the yellow scarf.

It is understandable that the Yellow Turban troubled the young patriarch Yibao's clan.

But the young man in front of him has a sallow complexion, a thin body, and coughs lightly from time to time. It is obvious that he is sick. How can such a person compete with the yellow scarf?

"Mr. Zhao, please sit down. Mr. Zhao can lead people to fight against the Yellow Turbans and reduce the pressure on the government. I am very grateful."

Wei Tao didn't know how to address him for a while, so he used the title of 'Mr.'.

"Your Excellency, the wind is just a little effort. The adults can also see that in fact, the wind is congenitally deficient. He has suffered from chronic illness. Although he has some courage, he still relies on the trust of the villagers to protect himself. Want to get rid of the yellow scarf It still needs the power of the prefect."

Although Zhao Feng's voice was a little hoarse, he could feel a kind of sonorous force.

This is no ordinary person either.

At this time, Wei Tao didn't ask whether the other party had a younger brother Zhao Yun, and whether Zhao Yun was the Zhao Yun in history, but asked about the Yellow Turban.

"My lord, I have also heard a little about Zhang Niujiao. It is said that there are thousands of them, and they have colluded with the government, so they have to hide from the government. Because we don't believe in his religion and have many blood feuds, we were harassed by him."

Zhao Feng's temperament is obviously a bit upright, and he is outspoken when facing Wei Tao, the prefect.

However, from the attitude of his subordinates, Wei Tao could sense some points, especially those who contradicted him, probably had some agreement with the Yellow Turban.

"The yellow turban is a disaster. After all, it is not surprising that it has swept the entire Han Dynasty. However, if there are really thousands of people hiding in the mountains and forests, it is impossible to hide the slightest trace."

Wei Tao stood up, cupped his hands towards Zhao Feng and said slowly.

"I once killed Zhang Liang, the leader of the Yellow Turban Bandit. I have a mortal hatred with the Yellow Turban. Now the Yellow Turban is harassing the people under my command. Exterminating the Yellow Turban is a top priority. I also ask Mr. Zhao to get the help of his clan."

"My lord trusts me so much, how dare I disobey my orders? However, most of the villagers want to protect themselves from the Yellow Turbans. How many people can help you, Feng really can't guarantee it."

"A mere yellow scarf, with the help of Mr. Zhao, naturally there is no reason for injustice."

Zhao Feng is white, and Wei Tao is considered the greatest courtesy.

In this era, generals will die for their confidants. Although Wei Tao is not yet Zhao Feng's confidant, but with such courteous treatment and the need to deal with the Yellow Turban, Zhao Feng is already willing to contribute.

With Zhao Feng's help, Wei Tao soon recruited hundreds of people, plus the number of people he brought with him originally was a thousand.

It is enough for the thousand-man team to defend the city, but it is still not enough to wipe out the Yellow Turbans.

If Wei Tao can stay in Changshan for a long time, he can naturally draw it slowly, but not to mention that the situation in the world is changing every day, just because He Jin Sanyue's words are still in his ears, Wei Tao has to act quickly.

"My lord, the Yellow Turban's whereabouts have been determined. It is hidden in an unnamed mountain. There is a village called Huangniu Village at the foot of the mountain. There are many people in the village and it occupies a lot of land. I am afraid that they are all related to the Yellow Turban."

At this moment, Zhang Liao came in again to report that he had indeed found many clues under careful investigation.

"It's really well-organized. The villages and villages are monitored. We went to investigate. Although we found traces, our whereabouts may have been revealed. The other party knows that the adults want to mobilize troops."

There is no truly impenetrable news in the world, Wei Tao was not surprised by this, and asked after thinking about it for a while.

"What does Wen Yuan think?"

"Sneak attack is unacceptable, not to mention the company of villages and camps, just in this Changshan County, I am afraid that Mr. Yu is not a person with much single-mindedness. But if it is a strong attack..."

At this time, it is important for everyone to be brave in a big battle, but no matter what, it is difficult to lead a thousand people to attack an army of ten thousand.

These days, Zhang Liao found out that the number of elite Yellow Turbans numbered in the tens of thousands, should be the last details left by Zhang Jiao.

These ten thousand people were either Yellow Turban Warriors or Flying Ghost Army, and their backgrounds are quite extraordinary, not ordinary people can do it, if it is really head-to-head, the result will naturally be known without asking.

"If you want to win quickly now, you have to let them attack the city and rely on the strength of the city's defenders to fight, and when their soldiers are exhausted, they can be defeated in one fell swoop."

After saying this, Zhang Liao's complexion couldn't help turning slightly red. The Yellow Turban had already suffered a great loss, and he would not easily attack the city, let alone waste his last foundation in it.

"If so..."

Wei Tao also smiled wryly, the fact is so, Wei Tao is also helpless, not to mention the siege, even if it is a field battle, with the cavalry that Wei Tao brought from Luoyang, there is a bit of a chance of victory.

But if they went into the mountains and forests to wipe out the Yellow Turbans, it would be the best ending to flee in defeat.

This is what the wise man does not do.

As for what strategy to use, under such a big gap, no strategy will work.

For a while, even Wei Tao could only be speechless. When he failed to gain the absolute upper hand, he could say something to quickly defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, no matter how famous a general is.

Thoughtful but powerless?

Wei Tao is not like this, since ordinary methods cannot be done, he can only do extraordinary things.

While the two were talking silently, a guard walked in quickly.

"Reporting to your lord, there is another white-haired old man outside asking to see you. He said that your lord has wanted to see him for a long time. I deeply feel your lord's sincerity and come here to see you."

If other people acted like this, Wei Tao would not have paid any attention to it at all, but recently he was indeed looking for someone.

And since this matter will be pointed out, it is obvious that this person is exactly the one Wei Tao is looking for.

Gun King Tong Yuan.
