Rampage through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 37

Zhang Jiao's uprising has been going on for some time now. Although Huangfusong and Zhu Jun retreated to Changsha in Yingchuan, they did not suffer too much loss. After Zhizhi, it is strange to say that Zhang Jiao has been hiding in Guangzong City; the battle in Youzhou has basically been calmed down, and Liu Yan, the prefect of Youzhou, responded in time, so the Yellow Turban did not cause much damage in Youzhou; The most worrying thing is that there has been no news for a long time.

During this period of time, the imperial court gradually recovered, and the training of recruits was also fruitful. At this time, Cao Cao finally entered people's sight.Cao Cao originally belonged to Yilang, but for some reason, Emperor Ling remembered the captain of Luoyang Beidu who had set up a five-color killing stick, so Emperor Ling ordered Cao Cao to be the captain of cavalry, and took the newly trained army to Yingchuan to support Huangfusong. And Zhu Jun, and since Mrs. He was rescued, General He Jin seems to have forgotten the existence of Wancheng.

But there was one person who did not forget, and that was Grand Tutor Yuan Kai. After all, Yuan Shu was still in Wancheng, and Yuan Shu was also the son of the Yuan family. There was no news from Wancheng in the past few days, but Yuan Kai was in a hurry.Finally, Yuan Kai wrote to Emperor Ling to mobilize [-] new troops, led by General Fenwu Zhang De, to form a second reinforcement army to support Wancheng.

Yuan Kai also has his own purpose in doing this. 2000 people are just a drop in the ocean among the [-] yellow scarves army in Wancheng. People can be sent.

……

Wancheng.

Yuan Shu was wearing golden armor, and the crowd surrounded Yuan Shu like stars holding the moon.

I only heard Yuan Shu say, "Are you all ready?"

"Report to General, everything is ready!" Everyone said in unison.

"Okay, at midnight tonight, everyone break out from the north gate!"

As soon as Zishi arrived, Yuan Shu led people out of Wancheng from the north gate. In fact, there was no Yellow Turban army fortifying the north gate at all, so Yuan Shu and others ran out of Wancheng easily.

At this time, Zhang Mancheng also got the news that Yuan Shu had abandoned the city. He thought that after so many days, the officers and soldiers finally couldn't hold on anymore, so he raised his account overnight and ordered people to enter Wancheng overnight.And ordered, after entering the city, ignore military discipline for three days!

Zhang Man deliberately understood that his subordinates were mobs, and if he continued to win, he would be unstoppable, but once he encountered defeat, he would probably scatter like wild animals. Wancheng's long-term inability to attack has already made the morale very low, so now that Wancheng has been taken, You should let your subordinates indulge!In this way, everyone has benefited, and will fight bravely to be the first in the next siege!
……

Changshe and Bocai's Yellow Turban Camp have been reduced to ashes.Some Yellow Turban soldiers had been scorched, and there were puffs of smoke from their corpses. The officers and soldiers were cleaning the battlefield. Occasionally, when they encountered a Yellow Turban soldier who was not completely dead, they went up to make up for it.

On the high slope in the distance, Huangfusong watched all this, feeling extremely proud.Huangfusong has been waiting for this opportunity, an opportunity to burn down the Yellow Turban Army.Finally, the opportunity came. Yesterday evening, a strong wind blew up. Huangfusong ordered people to go out of the city secretly with torches, and used the weeds near the Yellow Turban camp to attack the Yellow Turban Army. The officers and soldiers took advantage of the situation to attack the Yellow Turban Army. , Overnight, tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers were burned to death, and Yellow Turban commander Bo Cai and deputy commander Peng Tuo also fled with the remnants!
Huangfusong seemed to see that he had regained the glory of the family, and at the same time, he also won the upper hand for the party members at this critical moment.Now, Yingchuan and Jizhou are like a game of chess, Yuan Kai and He Jin are secretly screaming, and we can see whether it is Dong Zhuo or himself who is more capable.Now that the Changsha has won a big victory, it seems that the day of the party members is not far away!But the top priority should be to pursue the victory, after all, the Yellow Turban coaches Bo Cai and Peng Tuo still ran away!
Bo Cai and Peng Tuo were in a panic at this time. The fire last night not only killed countless Yellow Turban soldiers, but also destroyed the hope of the Yellow Turbans in Yuzhou.At this time, only Nanyang Zhang Mancheng and Jizhou's Zhang Jiao's main force still have the power to fight.Along the way, Bo Cai and Peng Tuo gathered a lot of deserters, but they panicked. It was not until daytime that Bo Cai found out that he had been separated from Peng Tuo!
There was no water in the night, so Bocai was very hungry and thirsty at this time. Looking back, there were only a thousand people under him and he was still following him.

Bocai thought, this is not going to work, he should find a ravine to hide for a while, gather some strength, and then make plans.But the sky failed.A group of men and horses came from a distance, the leader had narrow eyes and long temples, his face was pale, his eyes were shining, he was looking at the banner behind him, a big "Cao" character, next to a row of boys - big men riding captains.

This person was Cao Cao, who was ordered to go to Yingchuan to help Huangfusong, but when he was halfway there, he saw some golden troops in front of him, so Cao Cao immediately led someone to kill him.

Although the people led by Cao Cao were the new army, the Bocai Department was even more unbearable. A fire had already demoralized the Yellow Turban Army, and with the night's escape, the Yellow Turban Army had already become a frightened bird and would collapse at the first touch.

Seeing that this was not the way to go, Bocai came up with a plan, raised his weapon and charged at Cao Cao, thinking that the white face in front of him didn't look very tall, and he should be average in martial arts. To capture the thief, he should first capture the king, and he would kill the white face first.Seeing that Bo Cai was about to rush in front of Cao Cao, a general flashed up beside Cao Cao, raised his sword and stood in front of Bo Cai, and shouted: "Xiahou Dun of a certain family, the thief will leave his head before leaving!"

Bo Caixin said that he has only one head, and I can't give it to you. At this time, he had no time to answer, so he fought Xiahou Dun, but after three or five rounds, Bo Cai knew that he was not the opponent of the person in front of him. The yellow turban soldiers had been retreating steadily, and Bocai was even more anxious. Xia Houdun cut off his arm with a big knife without paying attention!Bo Cai let out a scream, turned his horse's head and ran away. At this time, with a sound of "whoosh", Bo Cai's eyes dimmed and he fell down.

Xiahou Dun looked back and saw a general behind him put away his bow and arrow, and said with a smile, "Brother, my archery is not bad!"

"Miaocai, I can kill that man right away, but you are robbing me again!" Xiahouyuan was the one who shot the arrow. Seeing that Bocai was about to run away, he bent his bow and set up an arrow, and shot Bocai to death.

……

Peng Tuo's luck was much better than Bo Cai's. He ran all the way down, and when he found that he was separated from Bo Cai, the sky was already bright.At this time, there were still more than 3000 defeated Yellow Turbans following Peng Tuo.At this time, his subordinates came over and asked, "Peng Shuai, what should we do now?"

Peng Tuo thought for a while and said, "Let's go to Wancheng to find Zhang Mancheng, he still has a hundred thousand troops!"

……

In Wancheng, Zhang Mancheng has been in the city for three days. During these three days, the Yellow Turban Army burned, killed, looted, raped women, and did everything.

Three days later, Zhang Mancheng raised his account, but after waiting for more than half an hour, less than half of the people came. Zhang Man deliberately said that it seemed that they were too relaxed. Thinking of this, Zhang Mancheng ordered: "Beat the drum again and three times. If you still don't come, everyone will give me twenty army sticks!"

The subordinates beat the three-way tent drum again, and waited for a while, but still many people did not come. Zhang Mancheng was really angry, and shouted: "Come on, go and catch these bastards for me." The soldiers took the order and left, and after a while, the soldiers came back to report.

"Report to Commander-in-Chief, General Sun is ill and cannot come!"

"Marshal, I went to General Wang's just now, and saw General Wang fell ill in bed!"

The soldiers came over one after another, and it turned out that the generals who did not come were all sick, some said they had typhoid fever, some had a fever, and some said they had an evil spirit, but all the generals who got sick were dizzy and had weakness in their limbs. Hot and cold, sore joints.

Zhang Man deliberately said that he was sick all at once, which seemed strange, so he hurriedly ordered people to go to the city to check.After a while, the soldiers reported that many soldiers of the Yellow Turban soldiers were also sick, and the symptoms were similar.

Zhang Mancheng had followed Zhang Jiao for many years, and knew a little bit about medical skills, so he immediately asked his subordinates, "Who advanced the city three days ago?"

He Yi replied: "It's the last general!"

Zhang Mancheng asked: "Then what happened when we entered the city?"

"There is nothing wrong, everything is as usual. At that time, I led people into the city, and the defenders in the city had long since disappeared. Many wealthy families had already fled. There were corpses everywhere in the city, and..."

Zhang Mancheng suddenly interrupted He Yi and asked, "What did you just say? Corpse! What corpse?"

"Back to Commander, there are our corpses, as well as the corpses of officers and soldiers, and many of them are livestock, and many of them are rotten. Commander, what's wrong?" He Yi replied.

"Didn't you bury or burn the corpses when you entered the city?" Zhang Mancheng asked.

"Marshal, you ordered to ignore military discipline for three days. Once the brothers entered the city, they all went to have their own fun. Who cares about those corpses!" He Yi replied.

Zhang Mancheng immediately said to Liu Pi next to him: "Liu Pi, go and check all the wells in the city immediately to see if there are any foreign objects in them!"

"The last general obeys orders!" Liu Pi led the order to go out.It was not until evening that Liu Pi came back and reported: "Commander, I have checked all the wells in the city, and found dead animals in all the wells!"

"Oh!" Zhang Mancheng sighed, "I'm following the advice of the officers and soldiers!" Zhang Mancheng used to follow Zhang Jiao to teach and perform amulets everywhere, so he knew that this disease was called "disease".This "disease" is not the "dysentery" as it is said now, but the plague in the current term.In the late spring and early summer in ancient times, large-scale plagues often occurred among the people. At the end of the Han Dynasty, there was no way to prevent the plague.So in that era, if there was a large-scale plague, what everyone thought of was not to find a doctor, but to find a Taoist priest to exorcise evil spirits.

……

Outside Wancheng, in a forest.

A man wearing a yellow scarf sneaked into the woods, where a big man was waiting.

"How is Wancheng now?" the big man asked.

"The subordinates went to investigate just now, and a lot of yellow turban bandits fell ill!"

"Okay, let's go back and report back to General Yuan!"
