However, a moment later, without waiting for the generals to react, Lou Zibo, who had not shown up until now, suddenly walked out of the military tent and issued a new order on behalf of Gongsun Xun.

It is not a military order, but a simple and hasty job arrangement-except for Gongsun Yue, who was originally in charge of the generals in the name of Army Sima, the other generals such as Guan Yu, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Wei Yue were each promised the position of fake military commander.

, and let them take charge of the newly recruited soldiers!

Many of the officers below have been promoted.

This is not only a reward and appeasement, but also a necessary measure after the temporary expansion of the army... The only pity is that the war came so suddenly, the court did not know what it was doing, and the governor of a county was not qualified to come up with a formal establishment. These people's

Most of the Qu Junhou are 'fake', and they can only be 'fake' to the level of Qu Junhou, and it's hard to even give a fake Sima.

For example, Liu Bei was stabbed in the leg. The most valuable position he held at this time was actually the thief Cao Yu in the county, and then he was this "fake" Qu Junhou.

Of course, the purpose of issuing this order at this time may still have the meaning of urging everyone to get out of work quickly, but it is actually well-intentioned.

As a result, although the generals had many doubts, they still quickly thanked him for the appointment and then dispersed.

"Brother Zibo." However, Guan Yu was not afraid of anyone else, so he immediately stepped forward and blocked Lou Gui's path. "As Junhou's military counselor, can you help me clear up my doubts? Junhou, this is

What exactly is the arrangement?”

"It doesn't matter." Lou Gui probably guessed this before he came, so he wasn't angry at all. "This strategy was the one that the Lord and I came up with when the generals were fighting..."

After some words, not only Guan Yunchang, but also most of the other generals who were walking slowly to watch the excitement immediately woke up.

However, Guan Yu is Guan Yu after all. After he woke up, he still stood with his beard slightly twisted and looked solemnly at the military tent ahead: "In that case, why didn't you speak frankly to us before? Did you think we were unworthy of mentioning it?"

Lou Zibo immediately shook his head: "Yun Chang is overthinking. In my opinion, whether it was because he was lying down yesterday or because he didn't explain today, I'm afraid you just feel that the enemy in front of you is too disappointing because you have no energy...

…”

"disappointment?"

"Of course." Lou Gui said frankly. "Yunchang also met hundreds of thousands of refugees with the prince in Yecheng that day. He should know that the prince paid special attention to Taiping Road and spent all his energy in Zhongshan in the past few years.

And we are dealing with it carefully in Zhuo County..."

"This is the truth." Guan Yu twisted his beard.

"But what happens next?" Lou Gui shook his head helplessly and laughed. "After the war, the Yellow Turban thieves were so powerful that they shocked the world. However, when the so-called Yellow Turban army came to the enemy and we fought against them, we found that they were so unbearable.

One blow...you tell me, how could our monarch not be defeated?"

Guan Yu was speechless for a moment.

On the other hand, Cheng Yuanzhi, Commander-in-Chief Cheng, led 10,000 troops to break up. He first tried to flee eastward back to Guangyang, but that night he was strongly blocked by the Han cavalry at the Shengshui River at the junction of Zhuo County and Guangyang County, and was unable to do so.

Crossing the river. So, he could only wait in fear for a night, and early on the next morning he led the remaining defeated generals to the south in the direction of Fan Yang, trying to join up with the 50,000-strong army of the local general Zhang Bao.

This time, although the Han army did not use natural barriers to block the attack like the Shengshui River, they still used the advantage of the cavalry to block the front. Moreover, at this time, there were still a large number of Yellow Turban prisoners, wounded soldiers, old and weak soldiers who had been released.

, of course, there were also some people with some fighting ability who were catching up from behind... Various circumstances forced Cheng Yuanzhi, the Qu Commander, to gradually move closer to Fan Yang, who was only forty or fifty miles away from Zhuoxian County, at an extremely slow speed.

The defeated troops were tired and hungry, and were harassed by cavalry along the way.

It can only be said that fortunately, the Yellow Turban Army defeated in large numbers, and some ordnance was brought out from the rear camp, which finally gave them some combat effectiveness. Moreover, Cheng Yuanzhi himself was somewhat prestigious, and he acted appropriately in times of crisis, and he actually

He gave all the animals and other things to the wounded soldiers, and then personally encouraged everyone on foot, but he was still able to maintain the army's momentum and urged the remaining soldiers to march south.

At this point, Cheng Yuanzhi actually had no other intention. He just wanted to bring out as many troops as possible to join Zhang Bao.

However, Marshal Cheng never expected that the current situation was the state that the Han army coach Gongsun Xun wanted him to maintain. From the beginning, he was toyed with and applauded by the somewhat disappointed latter!

Another day passed, and it was only more than ten miles away from Fan Yang. Cheng Yuanzhi even met Zhang Bao's exploring cavalry, and urged him to ride back and go to fetch reinforcements.

On the other side, Gongsun Xun, who knew that Fan Yang and Beixin City were relatively safe, no longer hesitated. He first ordered the cavalry to work tirelessly to completely cover both wings of the battlefield, and then personally led the cavalry to catch up with them yesterday evening.

The main force of the Han army, seven or eight miles behind the soldiers, suddenly launched its force, preparing to use this yellow scarf army to break the siege of Fan Yang today!

The Han cavalry galloped around desperately, once again delaying the defeat of the Yellow Turban Army. For this reason, they had even engaged a few bewildered Zhang Baojun's sentry cavalry. When Gongsun Xun and his main force of the Han army finally appeared in front of them,

Afterwards, these extremely tired cavalry dispersed to the two wings, covering the battlefield while also using this method to force the Yellow Turban Army to flee in the direction of Zhang Bao.

Now that things have reached this point, the battle seems to be a foregone conclusion.

Cheng Yuanzhi was almost frightened when he saw the large-scale pursuer suddenly appearing behind him! Then his first reaction was exactly as Gongsun Xun planned, preparing to go south as soon as possible to join Zhang Bao's army!

However, at this moment, a defeated soldier of the Yellow Turban Army with gray hair and a wooden stick appeared in front of Marshal Cheng... This man was captured at the beginning, but was later released because he was 'old and weak'

Deputy Commander Zhang.

"How come Deputy Commander Zhang has the nerve to come see me?" Cheng Yuanzhi was furious. "This situation is all caused by you!"

"I didn't want to come to see Cheng Shuai." Deputy Commander Zhang, who was out of breath and in a state of embarrassment, seemed to have aged more than ten years for a few days, and his whole body collapsed. "But I have a golden word to say to Cheng Shuai, so I

I have to come... If Cheng Shuai is loyal to your great virtuous master, he should not run away at this time, but should turn around and fight to the death with the Han army!"

Before Cheng Yuanzhi could react, several handsome men from Taiping Dao nearby either sneered or expressed grief and anger, but they all pulled out their swords:

"I'm harming people for selfish reasons again!"

"How can we fight in such a situation?"

"Are you asking Cheng Shuai to die?"

"What I said is really hurting people for selfish reasons." Deputy Commander Zhang looked sad but couldn't help laughing at himself. "Because as several people said, in such a situation, even though we have a large number of troops, we can't bear it.

To fight, and I really want Cheng Shuai to die... But Cheng Shuai, please consider my age and allow me to say one more word!"

"Master Cheng!" The young commander, who was obviously Cheng Yuanzhi's apprentice, hurriedly added. "The Han army is right behind. Don't let this old man fool you. Kill him. Let's flee south quickly!"

Cheng Yuanzhi turned around and looked back at Fanyang City, which was vaguely visible due south in front of him, and the slightly blurry camp below the city. An indescribable sense of crisis suddenly arose in his heart... By some strange mistake, he actually stopped his subordinates.

, but looked expectantly at the old man who almost single-handedly ruined the entire Youzhou Yellow Turban Army.

"Cheng Shuai." Deputy Commander Zhang said with a strange smile on his face, calmly. "I only have one sentence... Think about it, the Han army is driving more than 10,000 of us to the Digong General.

Going away, is it exactly the same as when they drove my men away to our camp that day in front of our camp?!"

Cheng Yuanzhi's heart was shocked, and then he suddenly realized!

No wonder the Han army, which was defeated the day before yesterday, did not pursue him immediately!

No wonder the night before yesterday, when I wanted to cross the Shengshui River to return to Guangyang, I was blocked by the Han cavalry with all their strength!

No wonder the Han army just tried to delay after turning to Fan Yang, but did not kill him!

No wonder the Han army released so many prisoners of varying strength!

No wonder the main force of the Han army appeared at this time, but it was still two miles behind and was not in a hurry to launch a general attack!

The commander-in-chief of the Han army actually wanted to repeat the old trick and roll up the Yellow Turban Army's massive defeat in Zhuo County the day before to Fanyang City over dozens of miles away!

"What should I do?" Marshal Cheng was at a loss, but he quickly grabbed Deputy Marshal Zhang's hand and asked seriously.

"I said it before." Deputy Commander Zhang held the wooden stick in his hand and stared into the opponent's eyes and said calmly. "If Commander Cheng is loyal to your great sage and mentor and regards Huang Tian as his righteousness, he should immediately surrender and fight to the death.

Blood splattered on the spot!" At this point, Deputy Commander Zhang laughed at himself. "I don't know Huang Tian or the sky, but I rebelled and lost my son. This time I will die without a burial place... I hate the day before yesterday.

I didn’t know it for a while, but I didn’t die in battle, but instead implicated Cheng Shuai. Today I am willing to accompany Cheng Shuai for half a day, partly to repay Cheng Shuai’s virtue, and partly to seek revenge for my son after his death, how about it?!”

"That's how it should be!"

At this time, Cheng Yuanzhi felt extremely clear-headed. He first personally lowered a wounded man lying on a donkey onto a strong horse that had already humped the wounded man, and then grabbed a yellow sky flag from the person next to him and held it up.

In his hand. Then, the commander of Dafangqu on Taiping Road in Guangyang jumped on his donkey, held a flag and walked east and west among the defeated soldiers. He shouted along the way, enumerating the sins of "Cangtian", and called on the Taiping believers in the defeated army to follow him.

Fighting for 'Huang Tian'!

Regardless of his advanced age and exhaustion of strength, Deputy Commander Zhang shouted at Huang Tian with a stick, and was the first to run behind him and shout. Suddenly, the young commanders who were Cheng Yuanzhi's apprentices and followers also raised their swords and spears, and shook their heads.

The flag patrolled, urging his defeated soldiers to turn around and fight to the death for Huang Tian!

A few miles away, under the banner of the white horse, Gongsun Xun was riding on a horse, escorting the Han army, which had only been formed for a day. The main force of the Han army, which could only fight with the wind, forced the defeated Yellow Turban army to go to Fanyang City... In other words, I should have been a little nervous.

At this time, he actually felt a little indescribable disappointment, and instead became a little bored.

However, suddenly, there was a commotion in front. Gongsun Xun was confused for a moment. When he raised his head, he found that the defeated Yellow Turban army in front showed signs of stagnation, and immediately became commotion. Only when he leaned a little closer did the Han army see clearly what was going on.

There was a man, carrying a yellow flag, riding a donkey, running around among the bandits, shouting at the whole group, which was very conspicuous.

Gongsun Xun was confused as he continued to supervise the army forward, but he heard the Yellow Turban army in front gradually become restless, and the noise became louder and louder. In the end, it actually merged into a sentence. Although it was extremely familiar, in fact, after the Yellow Turban uprising,

Rarely heard slogans:

"The sky is dead, the yellow sky should be established, and the age of Jiazi will be good for the world!"

The sound became louder and louder, and the slogans became louder and louder. They were already exhausted. The Yellow Turban Army marching southward stopped and stood at this time. However, the main force of the Han Army, which was originally high in morale and was pressing forward, became more and more obvious.

There was some feeling of sluggishness.

Gongsun Xun knew something was wrong, but he still made a decision, preparing to fight here in advance and defeat the Yellow Turban Army again. So he immediately ordered the entire army to stop, and then moved up a slightly raised slope, preparing to occupy

Command the battle with the advantage of vision.

Seeing this, the other generals in the army also gathered here.

And just when Gongsun Xun came to the slope, suddenly, in the somewhat chaotic formation of the Han army on the slope, a spear-wielding Han soldier who did not know whether he was a soldier or a native of Zhuojun who had just joined the army couldn't help but laugh.

Acoustics said:

"The sky is dead..."

The voice was very low, and I quickly swallowed half of what I said, but it was extremely clear.
To be continued...
