Chapter 77 Under the City of Guangzong
Chapter 77
"Second uncle and third uncle, taking Luoyang has always been the dream of our Yellow Turban Army, but how to take Luoyang? My little niece has a suggestion. I don't know if the two uncles are willing to listen to it?"
Looking at the excited appearance of the yellow scarf generals, as if the yellow scarf army was about to rule the world, Zhang Linger suddenly stood up and proposed to Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao.
"If the virtuous niece has something to say, just say it. This attack on Luoyang is a big deal. We also need to discuss it carefully to avoid any negligence."
Hearing that Zhang Linger had something to say, Zhang Bao turned his head and said. Although this treasure is proud after winning Huangfu Song, he also knows that Luoyang is not so easy to take down. It takes concerted efforts to get what he wants.
Zhang Linger was not in a hurry, so she asked someone to bring a map and put it on the lobby. Seeing this, the generals also calmed down and wanted to hear how Zhang Linger was going to take Luoyang.
"Two uncles, please look at the map. Luoyang is connected to the Yellow River in the north, Jingchu in the south, the Central Plains in the east, and Qinchuan in the west, which can be said to be connected in all directions. If our army directly attacks Luoyang, the court will definitely mobilize soldiers and horses from all over the country. In addition, Luoyang City has a lot of soldiers and a lot of food, and the city is high and deep. At that time, the war will be long-lasting, and the victory or defeat is unpredictable, which is very unfavorable to our army.
Zhang Linger first said the disadvantages of direct attack. She stopped to see everyone's reaction. She saw that everyone looked solemnly, looked at each other, and felt the difficulty of taking Luoyang.
"My good niece, it's not difficult for us to come out of the map, is it? We all know the difficulties of destroying Luoyang and destroying the Han Dynasty. You'd better talk about your own way.
Looking at Zhang Linger paused, Zhang Bao urged eagerly.
Zhang Linger smiled, stretched out her hand around Luoyang, and gently touched her fingers.
"Two uncles, please look at the map. In the north of Luoyang, crossing the Yellow River is the land of Hebei. Originally, Hebei has developed farming and rich products. Jizhou is the place where the world's money and grain come from, which is extremely rich. However, now the foreign people are in chaos and constantly encroaching on Hebei. The Hanting has been defeated many times. The richness of Hebei is no longer the past. Looking at Jizhou, at this time, my father was fighting fiercely with Lu Zhi in Jizhou. Jizhou was short of money and grain, and his own use was not enough, and he had no ability to supply the court at all.
Let's look at the east of Luoyang. To the east of Luoyang is the Central Plains. Now that Huangfu Song has been defeated, the land of the Central Plains has fallen into my yellow scarf bag, which is not owned by the imperial court. At this time, the court can only rely on Chang'an in the west and Jingxiang Wu Chu in the south.
Although Chang'an is the western capital, there have been continuous wars in Xiliang over the years, and there are often Qiang soldiers plundering, which cannot be used as the support of the imperial court. That is to say, now the imperial court can survive and rely on only the south.
Say this, Zhang Linger's finger, rowed to the south of Luoyang, but fell on Wancheng.
"Two uncles, please look here. Wancheng is the gateway to the south of Luoyang. If our army gets Wancheng, it can block the passage between Hanting and the south. The army, horses, money and food in the south will not be transported to Luoyang continuously. At that time, the Hanting will face the situation of lack of money and food on the front north of Luoyang. Our army will attack. Luoyang is only in the palm of his hand.
Zhang Linger talked about the mystery. But it also depicts a beautiful future for the yellow scarf soldiers.
As a later generation, Lv Bu has a deeper understanding of Zhang Linger's words. Lv Bu felt that Zhang Linger still had something to say. If the Yellow Turban Army really got Wancheng and completely blocked the contact between the court and the south, wouldn't the whole north fall under the rule of the Yellow Turban?
At that time, the emperor of Luoyang may have to move west to Chang'an. Although Chang'an is rich, there is a problem of foreign harassment. After the court moved to the west, it is too busy to take care of itself, and it is even less able to pay attention to the affairs of the Central Plains. At that time, the yellow scarf only needs to operate well in the north for a few years, stay until the soldiers are enough, and then wave the army to the south. Next, calm the four directions in one fell swoop, isn't the world at your fingertips?
It's just that this Wancheng is an important town of the imperial court and a must-have place for soldiers. I'm afraid it's not so easy to get Wancheng.
"Okay, what the virtuous niece said won my heart." After listening to Zhang Linger's words, Zhang Bao laughed and said. This Linger's words seemed to let Zhang Bao see his unlimited future. In one sentence, to describe Zhang Bao's current mood, that is: princes and generals, would rather have guts? Who will give up the rise and fall of the world?
"Third brother, please take people to the north, go together with the eldest brother, and break Lu Zhi together. I will lead my troops to seize Wancheng. At that time, they will send troops on the third road, gather in Luoyang, take the bird to the court, and let the eldest brother be the emperor.
As soon as Zhang Bao said this, he showed full confidence on his face.
A few days later, outside Guangzong City, several soldiers were chatting at the gate of the army camp.
"How long do you think this battle will last?" A soldier asked next to him.
"What do you care about him so much? Just be a soldier and eat food. These things are also what you should worry about. Another soldier laughed and scolded.
"Hm? What's over there? Why is there a yellow scarf coming? A soldier looked into the distance and wondered.
"You're not fireworks, are you? The yellow scarves of Guangzong have shrank into the city. What are the yellow scarves outside?" A soldier said with disdain, but his voice suddenly stopped, because he also saw a yellow stream of people rolling in the distance.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack."
A burst of panicked shouts began to resound in the army's battalion. Then the sound of the drums vibrated, and the officers and soldiers in the battalion quickly gathered.
Lu Zhi, who was staring at the map in the big tent, was stunned when he heard the sound of drums. At this time, how could there be a drum sound? Then he hurriedly drove out of the big tent and came to the door. He saw a stream of people from the Yellow Turban Army rolling in. Lu Zhi's calm look began to become ugly.
Lu Zhi is not a fool. Seeing the sudden appearance of the yellow scarf army of such a scale, he already knew what had happened.
"General, we haven't received any news that a large stock of yellow scarves have moved. It seems that these yellow scarves are not from our Jizhou, but should come from other places."
A burly man beside Lu Zhi said that this man is majestic and upright, and he is an important person around Lu Zhi. Cao Cao is also. Cao Cao is the current captain, who listens to Lu Zhi.
"Naturally, although Jizhou is chaotic, the situation is already under my control. Of course, it is impossible for such a large-scale yellow scarf army to appear, but where did these yellow scarf armies come from?"
Lu Zhi had already guessed, but he didn't say it, because the guess was so terrible that even Lu Zhi himself didn't want to believe it.
The yellow scarf coming towards you is the Yingchuan Yellow Turban Army. It turned out that on that day, after Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao discussed with everyone, Zhang Liang took his 70,000 yellow scarf army straight to Guangzong.
This Liang was originally a mercenary of 100,000 yuan, and he lost some when fighting with Huangfu Song, but in general, the loss was not big. In that battle, the main loss was Zhang Bao's men. Therefore, Zhang Liang collected his men the next day. After checking, there were still 70,000 available soldiers. As for the wounded soldiers, he could only stay in Yingchuan to recover.
Zhang Liang came all the way with the 70,000 yellow scarves. There was no delay. In addition, in the Battle of Yingchuan, the officers and soldiers were almost completely destroyed. The officers and soldiers who escaped also rushed to Wancheng. Naturally, no one sent a letter to Lu Zhi, so that now that the reinforcements of the Yellow Turban Army arrived, Lu Zhi knew the situation.
"Think about it, there must be something wrong with Yingchuan." Looking at the vast yellow scarf army in front of him, Cao Cao has guessed the origin of it.
"Lord Zhonglang General, the yellow scarf is far away, and his foothold is not stable. The villain is willing to lead the troops to fight and win for the next action of the army." Looking at Lu Zhi's serious face, Cao Cao on one side couldn't help asking for war, trying to buy some time for Lu Zhi.
"Captain Cao is right. The yellow scarf is tired from afar, and our army waits for work with ease. At this time, we should indeed teach the yellow scarf some lessons. Cao Duwei can lead troops around the flank of the Yellow Turban Army. After our army launches an attack, we will attack from the flank. Let's fight the arrogance of the Yellow Turban Army first, so that the world can know that this world is still the world of the Han Dynasty.
Lu Zhi glanced at Cao Cao and gave the order.
To say that Lu Zhi is indeed a talent. He is quite powerful in using troops. With only 70,000 officers and soldiers, he actually defeated 150,000 troops of yellow scarves in Jizhou. He only had the merit of fighting and no power to fight back. He huddled in Guangzong City and did not dare to attack.
"It is indeed a rare general who can use 70,000 people to surround the city where 150,000 people are stationed."
In the vast flow of yellow scarf iron, Lv Bu looked at the army camp in the distance and said to the people around him.
"It doesn't need to say that Lu Zhi, Huang Fu Song and Zhu Jun are the three people who can fight the most in the Han Dynasty."
Zhang Liang took a look at Lv Bu and felt that Lv Bu's words were too arrogant. He actually commented on Lu Zhi in this tone. What kind of identity Lv Bu is he? However, when Zhang Lianggang thought so, he remembered that Lv Bu had defeated Huang Fu Song and Zhu Jun not long ago. Thinking about this, there was nothing wrong with Lv Bu commenting on Lu Zhi in such a tone.
"Seeing that the officers and soldiers have begun to array, what are the generals going to do? Are they arraying to meet the enemy, or rush directly?"
Seeing that the officers and soldiers had begun to array, Lv Bu asked Zhang Liang on one side.
In fact, in the face of the siege of the officers and soldiers, the best way to support the Yellow Turban Army is to camp outside the city and cooperate with the Yellow Turban Army in the city. However, on the one, the Yellow Turban Army was tired from afar, and on the other, Zhang Liang had just arrived at Guangzong. He was very unclear about the situation of Guangzong. He hoped that he could enter Guangzong City first and discuss with Zhang Jiao before making plans.
"Our army should go straight into the city. We will make plans when we see General Tiangong."
Zhang Liang took a look at Lv Bu and then made a decision.
The Yellow Turban Army moved forward all the way. Only by rushing through the positions of the officers and soldiers can it reach the city of Guangzong. Looking at the city of Guangzong not far away, Zhang Liang began to stimulate the morale of the Yellow Turban Army.
"Brothers, yellow scarf, rush forward with me. Your heavenly general, the supreme commander of our yellow scarf army, sent heaven to the earth to save all people from water and fire, Zhang Tianshi, waiting for you."
Unlike ordinary peasant uprisings, the Yellow Turban Uprising has a very strong religious color. Disciples have an unparalleled faith in religious leaders. This religious belief can raise the morale of soldiers to an almost crazy level.
What Lv Bu sees now is such a scene. 70,000 yellow scarf soldiers were exhausted when they came to Guangzong City, but when they heard Zhang Jiao's name, they were like wolf cubs who beat chicken blood one by one. Their eyes were red and roared. They seemed crazy. Originally, this situation happened to a There is nothing to be afraid of the two people, but when he happens to many people, these people inspire each other and influence each other to produce incredible and terrible power, just like 70,000 hungry wolves seeing the delicious food they miss so much.
