The first thing to mention is that Ma Yue met the martial artist Zou Yu Niang in Yuyang, and his life was in danger, and let's talk about the Yellow Turbans in Wancheng. What exactly happened that night?
The story goes that Liu Pei heard that Ma Yue had voted for Guan Hai, and was furious when he led the army to attack Zhao Hong's camp, and Zhang Mancheng led the army out of the city with the intention of mediating when they were ambushed, and in the panic Zhang Mancheng was forced to retreat into Zhao Hong's camp, and arrested Zhao Hong, Gong Du and Sun Xia who were accompanying him, only Han Zhong sneaked away at some point.
Du Yuan, who had been bribed by Han Zhong, was ordered by Liu Pei to contact Gong Du's and Sun Xia's men, falsely claiming that Gong Du and Sun Xia had been killed by Zhang Mancheng, who was now having a banquet at Zhao Hong's camp west of the city, and that Liu Pei had led his troops there, intending to kill Zhang Mancheng to avenge the deaths of Gong and Sun.
The man is very eloquent, after he so incited the fire, Gong Du and Sun Xia's troops immediately believed in the truth, shouted the slogan of serving Liu Pei as Nanyang grand viceroy, kill Zhang Mancheng to take revenge, and when Du Yuan led them to the west gate of Wancheng in the dark, Zhang Mancheng happened to lead his troops out, which led to the scene of Zhang Mancheng being ambushed.
Liu Pei did not want to be the enemy of Zhang Mancheng, but the ambushers had already put out the banner of the Grand Viceroy Liu Pei, and he had no way to defend himself, so he just led his army to join the siege of Zhang Mancheng.
Zhang Mancheng sent people to Zhang Xian for help, Zhang Xian hastily ordered 100,000 troops to come to the rescue, but in the middle of a busy day, he inexplicably fell into an ambush by an unknown army (in fact, Han Zhong's army), a melee, and as a result, most of his soldiers were scattered, and when they arrived at the camp west of the city, less than 20,000 people were left (after all, they were just peasants gathered together, without discipline and will to fight, and when they were forced to When the time may still be able to bite back, but once things go wrong, there is a chance of escape immediately scattered birds and beasts), and then be involved in the melee, until the day finally dawned when each party to sound the gold retreat.
At this point, the Nanyang Yellow Turban has completely fallen apart.
Zhang Mancheng, who was the strongest, suffered the heaviest losses in this confusing melee. Zhang Xian not only lost the camp in the north of the city, 100,000 troops under his command were first ambushed, and then a mixed battle with Liu Pei, soldiers fled and were mostly killed and wounded, and finally only less than 10,000 people remained.
Zhou Cang's two thousand elite soldiers were also almost killed and wounded in the melee, and even Zhou Cang himself was seriously wounded, which was done by this guy Guan Hai.
Because Zhang Mancheng did not distinguish the reason for the capture of Zhao Hong, and pissed off the reckless man Guan Hai, as a result, Guan Hai led the 1,000 elite soldiers in front of the battle, helping Liu Pei to fight Zhang Mancheng, Zhou Cang's 2,000 elite soldiers were mostly killed by Guan Hai's people, Liu Pei was just knocking on the side drum.
The original weakest Liu Pei, after a night of melee strength but not reduced but increased, because Zhang Mancheng in a rage killed Gong Du and Sun Xia, most of these two men's subordinates by Liu Pei integration. After a night of melee, although the losses were also heavy, there were still more than 3,000 people left, plus Liu Pei's original nearly 1,000 people, which was much stronger.
However, the most profitable is already surrendered to the court Han Zhong, it is also Han Zhong, in Nanyang under the planning of Qin Jie, the governor of the creation of this big melee, directly led to the Nanyang Yellow Turban disintegration, and from then on, a stumble.
When the sun rises in the east again, the head of Wancheng City has been replaced with the Han flag, taking advantage of the time when Zhang Mancheng and Liu Pei were fighting, Han Zhong took advantage of the weakness to take Wancheng City, and collected the soldiers and horses left in the city by Zhang Mancheng, Zhao Hong and others, and expanded the number of soldiers and horses to nearly 20,000, leaping to become the strongest of the Nanyang Yellow Turban.
In addition there is a fourth force, that is, the 800 Zhao Hong's old troops led by Guan Hai, in a village not far from the original camp west of the city to set up camp, watching from afar, although yesterday killed the whole night, but Guan Hai still do not understand what is going on, and do not know whether Zhao Hong is alive or dead, so do not want to leave.
Nearly noon, Han Zhong finally settled the situation in the city, sent messengers to Zhang Mancheng, Liu Pei and Guan Hai's camp, respectively, and asked them to meet outside the west gate of Wancheng, saying that there are important things to discuss.
......
Xi'e, Zhu Jun's official army camp.
When the sun began to slant in the west, when the officers and soldiers thought that today would be as peaceful as yesterday, Qin Jie entered Zhu Jun's camp with a happy face and said in a loud voice: "General, great joy! Great joy!"
Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
Zhu Jun looked up from the map with a grim expression, and his generals Cao Cao and Yuan Shao also turned their heads to look at Qin Jie at the same time. Qin Jie took a breath, gathered his emotions and said, "General, Han Zhong acted according to his plan, and the Yellow Turbans in Nanyang lost countless soldiers and horses in the great melee last night, so their strength is no longer enough to be feared."
When Qin Jie's words fell, all the generals in the camp changed their faces.
Dong Zhuo, Liu Bei and Yuan Shao were in disbelief, Sun Jian frowned as if doubting the truth of these words, only Cao Cao's gaze was awe-inspiring, his face did not look much surprised, as if all this had been expected by him.
Zhu Jun's expression moved and he said, "Is this true?"
"It's true!" Qin Jie said, "Now Han Zhong already has Wancheng, the thief Dien Zhang Mancheng is left with less than 10,000 remnants of the army cantoned in the west of the city, the rest of Liu Pei, Guan Hai's stream of troops are few and weak, almost negligible."
"Snap!"
Zhu Jun's palms together with a crisp sound, gaze gleaming at Qin Jie, said enthusiastically: "Lord Qin planning, waving his hand, the bandits will be extinguished, Nanyang Yellow Turbans broke, the Lord should be credited with the first!"
When Zhu Jun said this, Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo changed their expressions and became indignant at the same time. It was obvious to them that Qin Jie had only moved his lips and played tricks. Only Cao Cao nodded slightly and thought deeply of Zhu Jun's words.
Qin Jie said modestly, "General is too kind, if it were not for the general himself who came to conquer with his army, even if I had the talent of the heaven and earth, I would not have been able to help the Yellow Turban, so naturally, the first credit belongs to the general."
The two men's eyes met in the air and both saw a hint of appreciation in the other's eyes.
Zhu Jun laughed and said in a loud voice: "Let the court and the emperor decide who should take the first credit, but now is the perfect time to take advantage of the situation and break the Yellow Turban.
"Yes!"
Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Sun Jian and Liu Bei stepped forward at the same time and clasped their hands to Zhu Jun in a loud voice to take orders.
Zhu Jun drew a long breath of cold air and shouted in a deep voice: "All generals, gather your horses and armies and go out with me, first to attack Zhang Mancheng outside the city, and then to break Han Zhong, to eliminate the Yellow Turbans in Nanyang today."
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you want to do.
......
The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the market. The cunning Qin Jie had expected that the Yellow Turbans outside the city would be routed southward after the official attack, and Zhu Jun aimed at Han Zhong in Wancheng, so he would not condemn his army to chase them.
The lobby of the county office in Echinoyang, the wind and clouds, all the powerful people gathered together.
After the fall of Wancheng, in order to show the court his determination to fight the Yellow Turban to the end, Qin Jie set up the temporary county government of Nanyang County in Echinoyang County, which is less than 100 miles away from Wancheng, and relied on the three volunteer soldiers of Echinoyang Huang Zhong, Yuyang Zou Jing and Yiyang (a county at that time) Wei He (Wei Yan's old man) to form a horns to support each other and hold on until Zhu Jun came to quell the rebellion with his army.
In the hall, Qin Jie was sitting in peace, looking dashing and relaxed, his despondency after losing Wancheng a few months ago had already disappeared.
Under the hall, all the generals were gathered together, Huang Zhong and Wei He were the enemies of 10,000 men, Zou Jing Yun Wen Yun Wu, and Cai Mao, the prima donna of South County, was ordered by Xu Poke, the assassin of Jing Prefecture, to lead 1,000 county soldiers (county and country are both administrative units below the state level, with the county having a governor and the country having a minister, both of the same rank, the so-called county soldiers are the local guard troops, similar to the present armed police force) to help the war. Even Qin Jie's brother-in-law, nineteen-year-old Wen Hei, appeared to be very heroic and eager to fight.
Qin Jie looked solemn and stood up long and said loudly, "By the order of General Zhu, the Left General of the Great Han Dynasty."
Huang Zhong and others rose with a resounding clang and stood at attention to listen to the order.
"Huang Zhong, listen to the order."
"The last general is here."
"Order you to lead 500 volunteers to set up an ambush in the old river ditch, after the Yellow Turban bandits have passed, raise fire as a horn, and lead your troops to cover up and kill."
"Wei He listen to the order."
"The last general is here."
"Order you to rate 500 volunteers to set up an ambush in the black forest, with the old river ditch fire as a signal, lead the army to the east to cover up."
"Zou Jing, listen to the order."
"The last general is here."
"Order you to lead 500 volunteers to set up an ambush at Fenglindu, and use the fire in Laohegou as a signal to lead the army to the west to cover up and kill."
"Cai Mao, listen to the order."
"The last general is here."
"Order you to lead 1000 elite soldiers and 500 Nanyang soldiers to stand by at Echingyang, and lead your troops to besiege Jing Mountain when you see the fire in Banyan Mountain."
"Wen Hsien listens to the order."
"My general is here."
"Order you to lead 50 soldiers to lurk at the top of Mount Banyan, and raise the fire when the bandits retreat to Mount Jing."
Qin Jie's assignment had been decided, and his heart was stirred, this time, he must wipe out the remaining Yellow Turban in Jing Mountain in one fell swoop, completely redeeming the impact of losing Wancheng, so that his career would be dark and bright, and he would be reappointed by the court again.
