Unfortunately, just before Zhang Yan had assembled his army and was about to march towards Taiyuan, the head of the Wei family, Wei Ke, suddenly delivered a warning to him: Guo Tai, the leader of the Yellow Turban bandit, led an army of [-] to counterattack Hedong.If they don't leave, Zhang Yan's team alone is likely to be crushed and completely strangled by the opponent in a single battle.
You know, even Bao Hong, who has gathered Chenliu's local defenders and has an army of more than 1, can only defend the city. How much better.
In desperation, Zhang Yan could only give up the idea of attacking Taiyuan, and instead returned to Luoyang immediately with his own part.
"I can only say that I hope Mrs. Guo's trilogy will not be defeated for a long time, and the people are exhausted."
Sighing slightly, Zhang Yan rode on the horse and looked at the direction of General Xu Huang in the distance, a faint uneasiness was lingering in his heart.
"In case the Yellow Turbans from Taiyuan take the initiative to attack and stop me..."
Thinking of this, Zhang Yan waved his hand and called several messenger soldiers in the army.
"You guys, take my keepsake soldiers and return to Luoyang first in three ways."
"When you arrive in Luoyang, you must go to the West Garden as soon as possible to ask Jian Shuo, the captain of the military academy there, and tell him that I may be in danger, and let him quickly lead his troops to the west to meet me."
Seeing those soldiers nodding in agreement, Zhang Yan's uneasiness finally dissipated.
……
The army marched slowly along the road, and Zhang Yan and others focused all their attention on Mrs. Guo who might appear in the rear at any time.It's just that what they didn't notice was that not far in front of the army, a small group of about [-] yellow turban bandits were hiding in the grove by the roadside.
Inside the woods, a burly, dark-skinned young man leaned against a big pine tree panting heavily, beside him lay many yellow-clothed soldiers in yellow clothes and holding big knives.
"Zhou Qushuai, that bandit Du's men won't be chasing here for the time being, please rest for a while."
A gentle voice came from beside him, Zhou Cang turned his head to look, but it was a handsome young soldier with red lips and white teeth, looking at him worriedly.
The boy's long hair hung loose on his shoulders, his thin body was wrapped in a rough coat that was taken off from some corpse, and his face was so dirty that he seemed to have just rolled out of a muddy pond.
"Mei Niang, I hope you can bear it a little longer. When I escape from the influence of the bandits, I won't have to suffer like this."
Seeing that the girl who was pampered and regarded as the apple of the eye by the entire Taiping Road can only change clothes and follow her now, Zhou Cang couldn't help but feel a faint bitterness in his heart.
No matter how cautious he was, he never thought that Du Yuan, who was his colleague back then, would take the initiative to attack him regardless of his old friendship.
The abdominal wound seems to have not healed yet, Zhou Cang just moved slightly at this time, and a trace of blood seeped out along the skirt of his clothes.
"Damn it, knowing that Du Yuan has such a personality, if I had been more cautious, I wouldn't have ended up like this..."
The muscles all over his body gradually relaxed, and Zhou Cang couldn't help but recall in his mind the time when General Digong entrusted Zhang Ning to him.
That was three years ago, when General Zhang Liang was attacked by the lackey of the Han Dynasty, Huang Fusong, and died of serious injuries after being defeated.At the same time, Zhou Cang, a general of Zhang Bao's department, also met Zhang Ning who was transferred to Zhang Bao by the remnant of the Yellow Turban for the first time.
"Yuan Fu, now that our Taiping is in decline, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to hold on for much longer."
"Mei Niang is my eldest brother's adopted daughter. She is still young. If she is caught by those lackeys of the Han court, she will suffer much more."
"Take her away. The farther you go, the better. Don't think about the Yellow Turban Flag, let alone the Peaceful Way."
……
At that time, Zhang Bao was already unable to protect himself, so he didn't have the energy to take care of his niece.In desperation, he had no choice but to order Zhou Cang to take the other party away thousands of miles, hoping to avoid the search of the Han court.
After that, Zhou Cang obeyed Zhang Bao's will and led the remaining [-] or so yellow scarf fighters to start a long escape life.
This kind of life lasted for more than three years, and Zhou Cang saw a glimmer of hope for the future until the Yellow Turban in Baibogu rebelled again.
However, within a few months, Taiyuan and Hedong were lost one after another, and Chen Liu was also in danger under the army.It can be said that in the past few months, Zhou Cang seemed to have seen the appearance of the Yellow Turbans in the world under the leadership of several generals.
Junyang: 5⑥[-]㈤з
Zhou Cang, who used to be Zhang Bao's general and was also considered the number one commander in the Yellow Turban Qu, naturally moved his mind.
"If things can be done this time, if you want to wait for someone by yourself, you don't have to live that kind of life every day."
Ignoring Zhang Ning's dissuasion and seeming to have forgotten Zhang Bao's original last words, Zhou Cang became enraged and brought the remaining twenty or so Yellow Turban fighters into the Taiyuan Yellow Turban camp.
Unfortunately, his future is far from as simple as he imagined.
……
It is true that Zhou Cang, as Zhang Bao's old department, and relying on his own strength, was indeed recognized by Baibo Yellow Turban at the beginning.Not only did Du Yuan not take away his command of the twenty or so yellow scarf fighters under his command, he even assigned a team of 3000 soldiers for him to command.
What Zhou Cang didn't expect was that just when he was about to flex his muscles in the white waves, a fierce conflict suddenly broke out between him and Du Yuan.
……
"Brother Zhou... are you very interested?"
I still remember that night, when Du Yuan's face was flushed, and he pulled Zhang Ning, who was disguised as a male soldier, out from behind Zhou Cang with the help of alcohol, Zhou Cang knew that there was no way to get along between the two.
Du Yuan is neither well-known among the Yellow Turbans for his own strength, nor does he have any ability to command troops in combat.The biggest reason why he was able to be the leader of the yellow scarf all the way is because he has two characteristics that are difficult for the people at the bottom of this era:
Very generous, and very lecherous.
Because of his lust, Du Yuan was keen to rob the village with his men's yellow scarves, plundering those pretty young girls for his lust.
Because of his generosity, this man is always willing to distribute the looted women to the people under his command.
It has to be said that if one compares the trilogy under the command of his good brother Pei Yuanshao to an army that strictly abides by various disciplines, then Du Yuan's men are all gangsters who commit all kinds of crimes.
Chapter 28 No Liao Hua but Zhou Cang
That night, Zhou Cang had to fight Du Yuan in order to save Zhang Ning.
It seemed that Zhou Cang would break his face with him for an ordinary woman. Du Yuan, who didn't know Zhang Ning's real identity, didn't even realize it at the first time, and was chopped to the ground by Zhou Cang.And Zhou Cang, who was worried that the other party would retaliate against him after he recovered, naturally did not stay for long, and escaped from Jinyang City with Zhang Ning and more than [-] brothers that night.
A few days passed, and Du Yuan, who had recovered from his injuries, naturally sent a large number of yellow scarves scattered all over the place to search for people. In order to escape Du Yuan's search, this small group of twenty or so people could only go all the way along Taiyuan County. To the south, fled to the direction of the Central Plains.
It is true that Zhou Cang had the idea of giving up several times during the escape that lasted for a month, but every time he saw Zhang Ning who was still gritting his teeth in the camp, the idea of giving up was overwhelming. He was suppressed for the first time.
If he, Zhou Cang, was just an ordinary Yellow Turban, even if he was a Yellow Turban Qushuai, he would have taken the remaining twenty or so Yellow Turban fighters to choose a sage to join him.
But unfortunately, unlike other Yellow Turbans, although many prefects and county magistrates in the Eastern Han Dynasty treated ordinary Yellow Turbans, and even the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai, they all upheld the attitude of wantonly recruiting and surrendering, but they definitely did not treat Zhang Ning as Zhang Jiao's family.
Zhou Cang, who has been unwilling to abandon Zhang Ning, can only continue to flee as a bandit.
Leaning on the tree trunk beside him, Zhou Cang didn't notice that an army of tens of thousands of people was marching towards where he was.And several scouts who were sent to the front to search for information have quietly approached him...
……
"Report-"
On the main road leading to Luoyang, a shout of a messenger instantly broke the sound of everyone's orderly footsteps.
At this time, Zhang Yan was sitting in the center of the army, and seemed to be a little worried that Mrs. Guo might appear to chase him at any time.However, before Xu Huang in the rear army received the news of being chased, Pei Yuanshao in the front army sent people to rush towards the phalanx where he was.
"My lord, General Pei just caught a group of yellow turban bandits, and he asked me to ask you to go there as soon as possible."
Quickly turning over and dismounting, the messenger said to Zhang Yan out of breath.
"Ler me get through?"
In the center of the camp, Zhang Yan was discussing information about the leader of the Yellow Turban, Mrs. Guo, with Yang Feng and others.Hearing the words of the messenger at this time, he couldn't help being slightly stunned.
"Isn't it just to catch a few bandits? He can deal with it himself..."
Some speechless complaints to the messenger, but Zhang Yan didn't care much about Pei Yuanshao's safety.Anyway, as a vanguard, Pei Yuanshao also has a full [-] soldiers. After these [-] soldiers form an army formation, as long as Pei Yuanshao doesn't get too hot-headed and runs to attack Jinyang County, there will be no major problems.
"Talk about what's going on here in Hedong. Why is this yellow scarf like a leek? I just cut a stubble, and it's grown again in less than two months."
Beside him, the two former Yellow Turban generals, Yang Feng and Han Xian, couldn't help but smile wryly when they heard Zhang Yan's words.They were originally from the Yellow Turbans in Hedong, so they naturally understand that as long as there is no stability in the world today, the Yellow Turban Rebellion will never be eradicated fundamentally.
"Did General Pei say anything about it?"
Patting his horse forward, Zhang Yan casually asked the messenger.He didn't expect the other party to really know anything, but he didn't want the messenger to be stunned when he heard the words, and become a little hesitant.
"That, that..."
Looking at Zhang Yan's direction with flickering eyes, the messenger seemed hesitant, but thinking of Zhang Yan's attitude towards his Yellow Turban soldiers before, he gritted his teeth and continued.
"Chihiro" (ii) 0 (viii) ⑤ 0 [-]
"General Pei didn't say anything, but among the bandits I saw just now, one of them seems familiar."
"Before I participated in the Baibogu Uprising, I worked under General Zhang Bao. One of the rogues is quite similar to General Zhang Bao's subordinates, and he may be a certain Qu Commander among the Yellow Turbans."
After hesitating for a few words of General Zhang Bao, the messenger finally said everything in one breath.
"The yellow scarf is handsome?"
Zhang Yan patted his horse forward and glanced at the front of the army with great interest.He didn't have any ideas before, but after hearing the words Huangjin Qushuai, Zhang Yan was more or less aroused.
Most of the original 48 Yellow Turban commanders such as Cheng Yuanzhi and Deng Mao died in battle three or four years ago.Those who can still live in this world today are all martial arts masters like Pei Yuanshao.
Since Zhang Yan was doomed not to be able to recruit Liao Hua, who is known for his courage and uprightness, it would be a good idea to snatch a yellow scarf Qu Shuai ashore.
"Yang Feng and Han Xian, you two continue to lead the team forward, and the distance from the vanguard should not exceed five miles. At the same time, pay attention to the orderly formation so that no one will be left behind."
"I'll go to see Lao Pei first."
After giving instructions to Yang Feng and others, Zhang Yan saw that the other party said that there was no problem, so he followed the messengers and patted his horse forward, and rushed to the square where the former general Pei Yuanshao was.
……
"Pei Yuanshao, you are crazy!"
At the same time Zhang Yan was rushing to the front army, in the front army phalanx, a dark-faced young man was struggling desperately. It was Zhou Cang who was caught by Pei Yuanshao because of being tired for a while.
"It's not that you don't know about my situation. If someone finds out her true identity, then everything will be over!"
Zhou Cang yelled at Pei Yuanshao in a low voice.
Behind him, a group of yellow scarf wrestlers who were a bit out of strength were strung into a string like bacon, and followed closely behind the team.And Zhang Ning, who was dressed in men's clothes, was also caught in it.
"Forget about it, we've known each other for so many years, I don't know how much you weigh?"
"You keep earning this hemp rope, honestly, just wait for the lord to come over."
A joking voice came, and Pei Yuanshao rode a white horse and followed Zhou Cang with a mocking expression.He has known this old friend for many years, and Zhou Cang has been firmly overpowering him in martial arts.
Now that he has finally made a breakthrough in his own abilities, Pei Yuanshao naturally wants to take advantage of the weakness of the other party and play the role of a general in front of Zhou Cang.
"My lord is wise and mighty, wise and brave. If you want me to say, Lao Zhou, it would be best for you to join the lord directly. I just lack a lieutenant general position for you!"
With a loud laugh, Pei Yuanshao naturally knew what Zhou Cang was worried about.To say that he fought with Zhang Jiao in the South and North, he naturally knew that Zhang Jiao had an adopted daughter, and he also knew that Zhang Jiao entrusted the adopted daughter to Zhang Liang after his death, and after many twists and turns, sent the adopted daughter to Zhou Cang.
"Aren't you just worried about the safety of Tian Gong's daughter!"
Pei Yuanshao was very clear about Zhou Cang's thoughts.
