Great Han Empire

Chapter 660
The Neihuang War is about to begin, and killing Wang Kuang at this time will definitely shake the army's morale, and the army may be defeated by the Yellow Turban Army. Moreover, killing Wang Kuang based on these few suspicious words will definitely arouse the hearts of all states and counties. Zhang Miao will take the opportunity to expand his power due to the officials' anger, which will greatly affect the master's dominance, so Wang Kuang cannot be killed now.

My lord respects the young emperor from beginning to end, resolutely denies the current emperor, and orders the world with the imperial edict of the young emperor. For this reason, my lord does not hesitate to kill the ministers of the court and turn against the eldest princess.Now that my lord suddenly changed his course, and instead recognized the emperor, respected the imperial decree of the emperor, and obeyed the orders of the emperor, why did my lord win the trust of the state officials who followed you?How to win the trust of your loyal subordinates?How to win the trust of the world?
Zhang Zhong rushed to Luoyang secretly, but he didn't see Zhu Jun or Xu Rong, but directly sent the imperial decree to the lord, and asked the lord to rush to Beijing and drive the Northern Xinjiang army to Hedong.Once Zhu Jun and Xu Rong know about this, they can be sure that Dong Zhuo is really dead, and secondly, their strategy will change immediately.Dong Zhuo is gone, and the first priority in northern Xinjiang is not to attack Jizhou, but to enter Guanzhong Qinwang.Zhu Jun and Xu Rong will definitely do their best to firmly occupy Guandong and Luoyang, so as to welcome the emperor back to the capital and revive the country as soon as possible.

"Kill Zhang Zhong, destroy the imperial decree, and try our best to conceal Dong Zhuo's execution." Ju Shou said, "After we defeated the Yellow Turban Army, we immediately entered Luoyang."

"Why don't you withdraw your troops and march into Luoyang immediately?" Geng Bao asked suspiciously, "The Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army is strong, and if we fight, we will suffer considerable losses."

"Currently, we don't have any evidence to prove that Zhang Miao and Wang Kuang have conspired to prevent Mr. Hezhi from entering Luoyang, so it's not easy for us to kill them." The judge explained, "But in order to prevent problems before they happen, we still have to kill them. This is the Yellow Turban War. In addition, this time we attacked and killed the Yellow Turban Army in Montenegro, and the Yellow Turban Army hated us to the bone. If we miss this opportunity to wipe out the Yellow Turban Army, they will definitely take revenge in the future."

"After we capture Luoyang, it's hard to predict how the situation will develop. Will Zhu Jun, Xu Rong, Yuan Shu, and Zhang Miao join forces to fight back? If they join forces to fight back, we will definitely not be able to stand in Luoyang. We have to retreat to Hanoi. Montenegro If the Yellow Turban Army launched a frenzied attack on us at this time, how would we gain a foothold in Hanoi? Therefore, before we enter Luoyang, we must attack the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro and completely defeat the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro.”

Yuan Shao walked back and forth in the big tent restlessly, trying to calm down the anger in his heart.

"If Wang Kuang is killed in this battle, my lord can let Zhang Yang succeed Hanoi prefect. Zhang Yang was originally a subordinate of Jinwu Dingyuan. When the emperor formed the West Garden Army, he was recommended by Ding Yuan to General He Jin to become a member of the West Garden Army. Sima is the Lord's subordinate. He is very loyal to the Lord. When Zhang Yang was besieged in Wen County, when the Lord sent a letter to the city, he immediately surrendered." Guo Tu looked at Yuan Shao's face and said cautiously, "Wang Kuang died, Zhang Yang became the prefect of Hanoi, and we quickly moved to Luoyang. Zhang Miao should have a clear idea of ​​what choice he should make at this time. If he is obsessed with obsession and insists on breaking his promise, my lord can let Cao Cao cross the river and go down to support Liu Dai , took the opportunity to attack Yuan Tan back and forth, and made him..." Guo Tu raised his hand in a slashing gesture.

Xun Yu snorted coldly, and opened his mouth to refute.

Yuan Shao immediately waved his hand to stop him, "Urgently appeal to Chen Wen, the prefect of Jiujiang County in Yangzhou, to let him be the governor of Yangzhou." Yuan Shao pointed to Feng Ji again, "Immediately make an edict to Chen Wen."

"Yangzhou's money and food are directly related to our survival. If Zhang Miao insists on breaking up with me in the matter of the governor of Yangzhou, then don't blame me for being ruthless." Yuan Shao looked around the crowd and said word by word, "I have already I did my best. The last time Han Fu committed suicide, Zhang Miao slandered me everywhere, saying that Han Fu was forced to death by me. My lifeline, I can't bear it anymore. My life is my decision, and no one can threaten me."

"Order the generals to discuss with the big tent army, and attack the Yellow Turban Army tomorrow."

=

In the middle of the night, the generals dispersed one after another. Yuan Shao sat behind the table, looking at the city of Ye on the map, contemplating.

On his left, Xun Chen was writing at his desk with the faint light.

"You Ruo, do you think Ziyi (Xin Ping) can succeed?" Yuan Shao suddenly sighed and asked uneasy.

Xun Chen looked up at the flickering candles, but was speechless for a while.

"Adult, do you think of your family?"

Yuan Shao smiled wryly.My family members were originally in Chenliu, so they were very safe.Because of Han Fu's suicide, he and Zhang Miao had an unpleasant quarrel, so he took his family to Yecheng.Unexpectedly, in less than a month, Yecheng was occupied by the Northern Army, and the family members became prisoners of the Northern Army.If he had known that such a thing would happen, he would never have brought his family to Yecheng anyway.

In Yecheng, there are not only Yuan Shao's family members, but also many family members of military staff and generals.When the army received the accurate news of the fall of Yecheng, several staff members and generals were in tears.If the Northern Army did not kill their family members, they might still be able to rescue their own family members, but if the Northern Army killed all their family members, they would never see their relatives again.

"Is Tao Sheng reliable?" Xun Chen asked again.

Yuan Shao thought for a while, then nodded.As early as the sixth year of Zhongping (AD 189), General He Jin, in order to establish the imperial line, took advantage of the opportunity to suppress the rebellion in Jizhou, and secretly borrowed 1 horses from the Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army through He Jin's relationship, preparing to return to Beijing to launch a mutiny.It was Tao Sheng who sent troops to help at that time.Tao Sheng is a native of Yingchuan, a subordinate of Bocai, the leader of the Yellow Turbans. Before joining the Yellow Turban Army, he was a wealthy man in Yingchuan.After Bocai's defeat, he fled to Jizhou with thousands of remnants, and then fled to Montenegro, where he called himself General Pinghan.

"In the past two years, Tao Sheng and us have fought repeatedly, and the hatred between each other is very deep. He will not..." Xun Chen hesitated for a moment, and did not continue.

"I believe he won't lie to me." Yuan Shao was uneasy, and comforted himself, "This time we surrounded him in Qiyuan, not only didn't wipe him out, but also gave him a lot of benefits. He should be grateful for the map, and without him leading the way, we It is also impossible to kill Bentun, Montenegro. Once this matter is leaked, he will die without a place to bury him, and there is no reason for him not to help us."

Xun Chen put down his pen, rubbed his temples, and said in a low voice, "Since this is the case, what are you worried about? Just wait for the good news."

Handan City.

Ma Rixun, Cui Lie, Yuan Pang, and Chen Ji, four old ministers, rushed to Handan with a group of officials, big and small.

Duan Xuan, the school lieutenant who presided over Handan Xingyuan, introduced the current situation in Jizhou in detail.

Ma Rixun and other ministers were shocked when they heard that the Yellow Turban Army in Heishan was defeated by Yuan Shao and were fleeing to Yecheng.This is the time for spring plowing and planting, and the winter wheat in the field is about to mature. If it is looted by refugees, it will be a disaster.

"Lord Duan, urgently transfer grain from Handan Daying to Yecheng." Ma Rizun ordered categorically, "Urgently tell my grandson to open a warehouse to help the refugees."

When he came to Jizhou this time, Ma Ricun was ordered to set up the Jizhou government to preside over the political affairs of Jizhou. He has this power, but Duan Xuan is very embarrassed.Because Li Hong, the general of the hussars, did not give him an order to open a warehouse to help the refugees, he did not dare to transfer grain from the camp to Yecheng without authorization.The grandson stationed in Yecheng had no food and was empty-handed, unable to help the refugees.

"My lord, the general is currently leading his troops to Bohai County to join General Zhang Yan to attack Nanpi, while Qu Yi and General Zhao Yun are currently attacking Anping. The food and grass of these two armies cannot be cut off for a day." Duan Xuan did not hesitate. He politely refused, "My lord, not a single grain of Handan Daying's grain can be transported to Yecheng."

"Lord Duan, what would the general do if he stood here today?" Cui Lie said rather annoyed, "The general will not hesitate, he will immediately order relief for the refugees."

"The grain and grass stocks of the army can only last until the middle of May. In May, the winter wheat starts to be harvested, and the grain for the army can just be picked up. This is what the general arranged at the beginning, so as to ensure that the army will continue to attack until it occupies the entire territory of Jizhou. "Duan Xuan said angrily, "Who knows that Yuan Shao, the bastard, took advantage of the main force of the Yellow Turban Army from Heishan to attack Yanzhou, and led the army to the Bentun of the Black Yellow Turban Army, driving hundreds of thousands of refugees down the mountain. This bastard's The purpose is to prevent our Northern Xinjiang army from capturing Jizhou. We cannot be fooled by Yuan Shao."

"What about the refugees? Drive them back to Montenegro?" Ma Rizun asked angrily with a smile.

"Then is the battle in Jizhou still going to be fought? No more? Let Gongsun Zan occupy Hejian and Bohai to recuperate?" Duan Xuan asked rhetorically.

"Sir, stop arguing." Yang Qi hurriedly persuaded.Yang Qi used to be a shepherd in Jizhou, and he is very experienced in comforting and helping refugees. "Urgently appeal to Zhao Jian of Duwei's Mansion in Diannong, as well as the prefects and prime ministers of the four prefectures of Zhongshan, Changshan, Zhao and Julu, and ask them to do everything possible to urgently raise some food to be transported to Handan. In the treasury If not, let them go to the homes of rich and influential people in various places to borrow them.”

"Master Ma and Master Cui, you two are highly respected, and your words have weight." Yang Qi cupped his hands and said to Ma Rixun and Cui Lie, "Please, my lords, please write to the general, and ask him to take care of the lives of hundreds of thousands of refugees. Now, stop attacking for the time being, let’s wait for a while, and let’s get over this crisis.”

Ma Rixun discussed with Cui Lie, and then said to Yang Qi, Yuan Pang, and Chen Ji, "I stay in Handan, Master Cui went to Anping to persuade Zhang Qi to surrender, and the three of you immediately rushed to Yecheng to help the refugees."

Then he turned around and stared at Duan Xuan, and asked loudly, "Master Duan, can you lend me some food for a while?"

Duan Xuan knelt down and said earnestly, "Without the general's order, I can't allocate food."

Ma Rixun yelled angrily, and raised his hand to give him a pat on the head, "You are just like your father Duan Jiong, extremely stubborn."

Yecheng.

When Sun Qin heard that the court ministers were coming, he hurried out of the city to meet them.

In and outside the city, on both sides of the Zhangshui River, there are refugees in ragged clothes everywhere, which is shocking.The bursts of wailing and crying were shocking and uncontrollable.

Yang Qi was very anxious, pointing to the refugees on the embankment and asked: "Did your lord open a warehouse to provide relief? You suddenly captured Yecheng, and there should be food in the warehouses in the city."

"The granary has been opened to release grain." Sun Qin replied respectfully, "However, you adults have also seen that there are more and more refugees, not only the refugees on the Black Mountain, but also the refugees who fled across the river from Yanzhou. Listen It is said that Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Xuzhou on the south bank of the Yellow River are all fighting, and it is estimated that in May, the number of refugees will increase sharply."

"How did this happen?" Chen Ji asked worriedly, "Last year, Yan, Qing, and Xu three prefectures were also in flames of war. Why didn't so many refugees go to Hebei?"

"Last year, Xuzhou, the southern counties of Yuzhou, and Yangzhou were not affected by the flames of war, and the refugees could flee south." Qin Qin said with a wry smile, "This year, the situation is quite different. I heard from many refugees that the Yellow Turban Army kept going south. , The southern counties of Xuzhou and Yuzhou have already started fighting, and I heard that some counties and counties of Yangzhou have also found traces of the Yellow Turban Army. Now the refugees in the Central Plains have only two choices, either flee south across the Yangtze River, or flee north across the Yellow River. When people from the Central Plains arrived in the south, they were not only far away from their homeland, but also suffered from acclimatization, and their lives were at stake, so most of them chose to go north and flee to Jizhou."

"The refugees have fled to Jizhou this year. It must be related to the appearance of the general in Jizhou." Yang Qi shook his head, sighed, pointed to the north and said, "The general rescued millions of refugees in northern Xinjiang. It is well known in the world. Now These refugees heard that the general has arrived in Jizhou, and they don’t need to travel thousands of miles to go to northern Xinjiang. Of course, these refugees will flock here. Jizhou will soon be like northern Xinjiang, with refugees overcrowded and overcrowded.”

Several ministers stood on the embankment, feeling extremely heavy.

=

The fast horse came galloping.

"My lord, something is wrong." Kuai Ma was sweating and jumped off the horse. "The refugees surrounded the granary and beat the guards guarding the granary. My lord, the granary is about to be robbed."

Grandson was shocked, and several ministers hurriedly mounted their horses and galloped to the warehouse in Dongcheng.

The warehouses in Dongcheng were crowded with people, and the hungry refugees shouted loudly and kept attacking the grain depot.Hundreds of Northern Xinjiang guards looked nervous and at a loss.

Sun Qin and a group of personal guards tried to rush into the crowd several times, but they were squeezed out by the turbulent flow of people.

"Quick, hurry up and gather the army to disperse the refugees." Yang Qi was terrified and shouted loudly.

"This is a refugee, an unarmed refugee..." Sun Qin blushed and roared angrily, "You can't use the army."

"If the warehouse is destroyed and the food is robbed, the refugees will starve to death if there is no relief." Yang Qi widened his eyes and roared loudly, "If there is no food, the refugees will immediately riot. Lord Sun, don't let the small mistakes happen." Big, hurry up..."

"No..." Sun Qin shook his head resolutely, with sweat streaming down his forehead, "I can't recruit troops..."

At this moment, there was a loud bang, and a section of the warehouse wall was knocked down, and the crazy refugees immediately rushed in from the gap, and then there was another loud noise, and a section of the wall fell down again.

"Master Sun, do you want to starve all the refugees to death..." Yang Qi was furious, raised his fists high, and shouted hoarsely, "Beat the drum, beat the drum..."

Sun Qin pulled off his helmet, wiped the sweat off his face, and reluctantly turned his head and waved at the orderly, "Assemble the troops and surround the warehouse."

=

The beating of war drums is earth-shattering.

Two thousand defenders in the city quickly gathered from all sides.

The refugees became even more frantic, and all kinds of shouts merged into a huge sound wave, which went straight into the sky.

Yang Qi yelled, forcing Sun Qin to shoot long arrows immediately, bloody suppression.Sun Qin categorically refused, and he ordered his ministries to rush into the crowd and try their best to disperse these irrational refugees.

Right at this moment, the sound of war drums suddenly came from the west city gate.

Sun Qin's face changed drastically, looking helplessly at the soldiers trapped in the crowd.That was the sound of war drums for the alarm, and the city gate was attacked by the enemy.Did Yuan Shao suddenly kill Yecheng?Or did Yu Du bring the Yellow Turban Army to kill him?

Several war horses came galloping from different directions.

"My lord, Tao Sheng's subordinates have rebelled, and the west city gate has fallen."

"My lord, Tao Sheng's subordinates rushed into the Yuan Mansion and rescued Yuan Shao's family members. Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang are leading their troops to the west gate."

"My lord, Tao Sheng rebelled. He led people into the prison and rescued Xu You, Chen Lin and dozens of officials from Jizhou Prefecture."

"My lord, there are rebels everywhere in the city, and the family members of the enemies who were imprisoned were rescued by them."

"My lord, the enemy cavalry was found outside the southern city gate. The refugees swarmed in. The city gate could not be closed. Please rescue quickly, my lord."

"My lord, the refugees outside the north city gate were attacked by a group of iron cavalry. The refugees crossed the pontoon bridge and shouted towards the city. Please ask your lord, whether to cut off the pontoon bridge immediately?"

Grandson's face was pale, and he sat weakly on the horse, shaking his head again and again.

Yang Qi rode into Sun's horse, stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder, and comforted him in a low voice: "Master Sun, the refugees were deceived and instigated by the enemy to loot the warehouse. At this time, the army can only protect the food. You did nothing wrong. Yuan Shao It is not your responsibility that his family members and his staff have escaped. However, I think it is good for them to escape, and we can save hundreds of people to eat, and we can save thousands of people. It is a good thing to escape."

Grandson smiled at him gratefully.That smile is uglier than crying.

Inner Yellow Battlefield.

After two days of fierce fighting, the battlefield was filled with corpses of soldiers from both sides, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Due to the favorable terrain occupied by the officers and soldiers, coupled with sharp weapons, the Yellow Turban Army failed to break through the siege repeatedly.

It was noon on the third day, and the Yellow Turbans fought bloody battles for an hour, advancing about [-] steps.

Sui (sui) stood on the battlefield, with a spear in his hand, looking at the "Wang" battle flag that was hunting in front of him, the muscles on his face twitched involuntarily, and his eyes were full of deep-seated hatred.

In front of him is Wang Kuang, who has fought with him for more than two years. He has killed countless brothers. Especially today, he and Hanoi soldiers killed more than 3000 of them in one hour.I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you.Sui Gu gritted his teeth, and his blood-stained body trembled slightly.

The day before yesterday, Da Hong led 1 people in a bloody battle with Yuan Shao's general Zhu Ling for a day.Dahong died in battle, and [-] Yellow Turban soldiers died in battle.

Yesterday, Sili led 1 people to fight Cao Cao for a day.Sili died in battle, and [-] Yellow Turban soldiers died in battle.

Today, I swear to the death that I will take revenge and break out of the siege.

"Boom... boom boom boom..." The war drum beat violently.

Sui Gu turned his head and glanced at the flag bearers behind him, saw the same apricot-yellow yellow scarf banner, trembling all over his body, and the infinite killing intent suddenly shot up into the sky.

"Brothers, follow me to break out of the siege and return to Montenegro..."

"kill……"

The killing sound was like rolling thunder, roaring all the way across the battlefield, exploding in all directions.

The soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army held their weapons high and rushed forward like a tide.

=

Wang Kuang narrowed his eyes slightly, looking forward against the glare of the sun.

He admired the courage of these ant thieves to go forward, go forward, and see death as home.When he saw these people, he felt that he was unlucky.

When Huangfusong and Zhu Jun quelled the rebellion in Jizhou and Yuzhou, they often defeated 10,000+ or ​​even hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban troops with tens of thousands of troops. Later, Li Hong also won consecutive battles in Youzhou and Jizhou, especially gall In the battle of Tao, he brought thousands of cavalry and defeated 20 Yellow Turbans, but why are these Yellow Turbans so powerful when they come to him?The Yellow Turban Army has fought for seven or eight years, and even an idiot has become a warrior.I was born at the wrong time, unable to make contributions, I can only lament the bad luck.

He sometimes blamed Huangfusong and Li Hong, who fought battle after battle in Jizhou, took all the credit, but left behind the most powerful ant thief, and now he can't even stay in Hanoi County stable.I have been in Hanoi for almost three years, but I have fought wars for at least two years, and I have hardly slept at home.This is what the world is all about.

The sky was full of long arrows, and the sky was instantly darkened.

Wang Kuang's eyes widened suddenly, and the Yellow Turban Army rushed within fifty paces of him in this short period of time.These ant thieves fought seven or eight battles, and although they didn't win many battles, all of them were very good at escaping.Look at the running speed, it's shocking.

=

The flag bearer was hit by several arrows, but still roared all the way, and continued to run until he passed out of breath.

A soldier dropped the spear in his hand, grabbed the battle flag in his hand, and held it up high, "Kill...kill back to Montenegro..."

Long arrow, another long arrow.

The soldier was running staggeringly, looking up feebly, "Brother... the big banner, the big banner will not fall..."

A veteran in his 40s flew past him, and grabbed the battle flag with his thin, big hands.The battle flag fluttered high and danced wildly in the wind.

The soldier looked at the battle flag, and tears welled up in his eyes, "Heishan... Go back to Heishan..." He exhausted all his strength to take another two steps, and fell over.

The veterans were roaring and running wildly.

"Boom..." There was a loud noise, and the ballista of the government army roared wildly.

The dense crossbow arrows pierced through the veteran's body in an instant, and his thin hands were firmly nailed together with the thick flagpole.

The veterans flew upside down, and the battle flag shook violently in the rain of arrows.

The veteran fell to the ground, and the battle flag was firmly grasped by a big hand the moment he fell to the ground.

Sui Gu stared at the blood-red eyeballs, drew his saber from behind, and slashed at it.

Sui Gu raised the battle flag high.On the flagpole, the veteran's bloody hands still held the flagpole firmly, dripping with blood.

"Brothers, go out... and go back to Montenegro..."

=

Wang Kuang swallowed with difficulty, with deep pity in his eyes.

These disheveled ant thieves are nothing more than thieves, they are just ordinary people who have no food to eat.If there is food to eat and a way to live, who is willing to die?Just like now, in order to return to Montenegro, to return to the burned home, and to those relatives who did not know whether they were alive or dead, they were brave enough to fight to the death.

The bloody battle of the day before yesterday and yesterday shocked all the officers and soldiers.The soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army went on and on, never dying, until the last soldier fell on the battlefield of the breakout, and the day's bloody battle came to an end.

This reminded them of Huangfusong, Zhang Jiao, and the famous Guangzong War.Back then, [-] soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army who were besieged by the Qinghe River threw themselves into the river to die, swearing not to surrender.Thieves also have their tragic, heroic integrity, and something worthy of respect.

Perhaps it is simply a wrong choice to surround the Yellow Turban Army in such a desperate situation with no way out, and then fight against such a group of people who have no hope of survival.

Wang Kuang looked helplessly and sadly at the batches of fallen Yellow Turban soldiers in front of him, and at the blood flying from their throats and chests. At this moment, he seemed to hear the sound of blood spurting out of his throat and chest. , as if hearing the screams of the Yellow Turban soldiers before they died.He wanted to throw up, he felt thirsty, "Water...give me water..."

The guard hurriedly handed over the skin bag.Wang Kuang lifted the skin bag high, and let the cold river water rush into his mouth, sprinkle all over his neck, and flow onto his parched chest.He swallowed heavily, feeling as if he was wantonly swallowing the blood of the Yellow Turban Army.

=

Spears, knives, sharp arrows... Countless weapons rushed into Sui Gu's body like rain.

"Ah..." Sui Gu screamed, roared, and ran tragically, the battle flag in his hand was tightly held in his hand like life, fluttering in his heart.

"Brothers, go back to Montenegro..." Sui Gu exhausted his last bit of strength, thrust the battle flag into the soft soil, raised his bloody head high, "Go home..."

Suigu fell down.

The soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army roared all the way, rushed past the blood-stained Yellow Turban battle flag, past Qu Shuai who led them to fight bloody battles, and rushed home.

"Kill, kill back..."

=

Wang Kuang was terrified. Facing the overwhelming Yellow Turban army, he was terrified.

"Quick, ask for help, ask for help..."

The sound of the war drum only sounded for a moment before disappearing, the gray tide swept past like a tsunami, and the war drum and his master were immediately submerged by the powerful turbulent waves.

Wang Kuang was also submerged, he was like a dead leaf on the waves, with a "shua", he disappeared without a trace.
