Chapter 60, the decisive battle of Qinghe
When everyone in Huairong County fell into panic, Zu Zhao became more and more calm, and his eyes were faint.
In the eyes of others, there are three thousand bandits who are fierce, while in Zu Zhao's eyes, it is 3,000 heads, which can make him famous for his military achievements.
There is a crisis and an opportunity at hand.
As long as he annihilates Zhang Zizhong, the bandits around Huairong County, the bandits around Huairong County will be wiped out. At the moment when the real Eastern Han Dynasty is in a hurry in the face of the Yellow Turban Army, it is undoubtedly an uplifting existence.
Whether it is Lu Zhi, who is close at hand, or Huangpu Song, who is far away from King Qin in Kyoto, as long as they achieve the great victory in front of them, it is difficult not to attract their attention.
In Zu Zhao's eyes, the Yellow Turban Army is a stepping stone.
Uncle Liu stepped on this stepping stone and became the emperor of Shu. Cao Mengde stepped on this stepping stone and became the hero of the princes of the world, while Sun Jian made his brother the emperor who dominated the south of the Yangtze River.
Zui Zhao naturally wants to gain the greatest political capital when he travels here. The most important thing is that the current Yellow Turban Army is no longer a exile, but more like a group of evil bandits. ** The ablution of the place where it passed without leaving thousands of miles of grass has been contrary to the original intention of the uprising.
Zu Zhao prefers to protect the exiles outside Huairong County and the grassroots in the city to live and work in peace and contentment, rather than the yellow scarf army that kills and set fire.
The map was taken out by him and drew a big circle in Zhang Zizhong's nest and Huairong County where he was located, and he focused on Xiaoqing River.
He looked at the map, and a bold attention in his heart slowly took shape.
When Zhang Xian was afraid, he had found that Zu Zhao around him was very calm. Looking at the fighting spirit around him, where is there any fear? At that time, these white and fat gentry around him seem to be scared to pee in their pants.
"I don't know if the post has a way to retreat from the enemy?" Zhang Xian asked in a low voice.
Zu Zhao nodded calmly and said in a slow tone, "If Zhang County Order cooperates, I am sure to completely annihilate the enemy!"
"Full annihilation?" Zhang Xian asked almost silently.
Zu Zhao nodded silently.
"I don't know how to cooperate with the governor?" Zhang Xian wanted to say that it was impossible, but when he thought of Zu Zhao's great achievements, what could not happen was often happened, and he was very knowledgeable and didn't ask.
"Make me wooden spears and wooden shields, and launch Huairong County to become soldiers and horses that can be conscripted!" Their yellow scarf army rushed out, and all the men rushed up. Our Huairong County will also launch all the men to participate in the war! The two meet brave and win!"
"Good!"
......
Zu Zhao walked out of the county government and found that the whole Huairong County was in a panic. He couldn't help shaking his head. Zhang Xian is also a scholar's material. At present, the most important thing is to stabilize people's hearts. If he goes on in such a panic, it may not be easy to find people, let alone mobilizing men to participate in the war.
"If you pass on my words, say that myzu Zhao wants to talk to my parents in Huairong County, hoping that all the young and middle-aged people in Huairong County can come!"
At least the county government office sits the pavilion chief of Huairong County, Shichang County, and the people of Huairong County almost worship Zu Zhao. Hearing that Zu Zhao, the little general of Changsheng, wanted to talk to everyone, they gathered to the county government office from all directions. After Zu Zhao defeated Zhang Zizhong and repelled, Zu Zhao's reputation was like a day in Huairong County. Zhongtian.
In this Huairong County, there are exiles who were put in by Zu Zhao and there are also original residents. The exiles are grateful that Zu Zhao kindly let them in. For the exiles, Zu Zhao is their lifesavior, and even provides Zu Zhao's position in the huts of many exiles. It means that they will never forget the great kindness of their benefactors, and the residents are even more grateful to Zu Zhao because Zu Zhao is in the water and fire. They see that Zu Zhao is not only a benefactor but also a Qingtian.
So Zu Zhao said hello, and tens of thousands of people gathered in front of the county government office for a while in Huairong County. This situation surprised Zu Zhao very much.
"The father of Huairong County, I believe everyone knows who it is. It's one thing to let everyone come today! That is, our grain and fodder in Huairong County will be robbed soon! The father knows that I have just escorted a batch of grain and grass. With these grain and grass, the fathers can drink a porridge and barely survive, but now the Yellow Turban Army in Shiling County is coming soon. Along the way, they have slaughtered three villages and robbed all the food!"
"The Yellow Turban Army is really ferocious. I have a relative in Wazi Village in the north. They are all dead in their village. This is true..."
"They killed and set fire. The big stone village in Beazi Village was burned, and there were big girls and little daughters-in-law**. Many of them were not dressed. Those people used to be poor, but now they are bullying the poor so much..."
"They are now holding knives. They want to rob and kill people. They are more hateful than mountain thieves..."
"God-killed things, they turned out to be poor, so crazy and inhumane..."
Discussions came one after another. Obviously, what Zu Zhao said was true. The yellow scarf army outside the city had already gone crazy. In order to get food, they had already killed their eyes. Once they picked up the knife, they would no longer have the idea of being poor and happy.
Zu Zhao looked at the surging discussion in front of him. Obviously, the reverse burning and looting of the Yellow Turban Army has aroused the bottom line of these kind people, which is why the Yellow Turban Army was eliminated in less than a year.
"Food is our **. Isn't it starved to death if the yellow scarf army takes us away?"
"If you fight with them, it's better to eat enough than to starve to death. If you fight with them, there may be hope or survival!"
"Yes, fight! Fight!"
"We have hands and feet, and they are also poor people, so why do they bully us!"
Before Zu Zhao had any words to stimulate, those exiles he put into the city were the first to get excited. They asked for food thousands of miles away. It was easy to have a safe place to drink porridge, and no one was more angry than them.
Food is the first necessity of the people, and robbing their food is robbing their lives!
Whoever robs their food will work hard!
They are kind, but they have a bottom line and blood.
"I fought with them..."
I don't know how many ragged people stood up, raised the broken bowl in their hands, held the stick in their hands, and looked fierce.
Zu Zhao didn't say anything. In this troubled world, a bowl of porridge can provoke a civil war and stimulate the blood in the bones of the exiles.
"Bloodly followed someone to Xiaoqinghe to kill the enemy, and women and children followed Zhang Xian County Magistrate to make wooden spears and wooden shields..."
Zu Zhao's words fell, and the people dispersed. The man followed Zu Zhao to Youqi to report. The women and children followed Zhang Xiangong to lose Hong to make a shield car and wooden spear.
......
On the bank of the bank of the Xiaoqing River, almost everyone, the women and children in Huairong County piled up behind a high shield car with a bundle of wooden spears, and a rough shield tied with several logs. These shields were inserted into the car and pushed by young men to block the opposite the Xiaoqing River.
In Zu Zhao's 300 Youqi, everyone has a bow and arrow, and behind them is a bundle of arrows, with tens of thousands of arrows.
Zu Zhao took a deep breath. Zhang Zizhong brought the young and middle-aged people in the old nest of Shiling County, and he also brought 2,000 men, women and young people from Huairong County to Xiaoqing River.
Looking at the stone bridge that has stood on the Xiaoqing River for many years, Zu Zhaoyi waved his hand and said coldly, "Take down this stone bridge with me. This is the only way for Zhang Zizhong. I want to see how this person can cross this small Qing River without a bridge!"
There were young and middle-aged people around them, some naked, some with ropes and some jumped into the water to destroy the bridge piers. Nearly a hundred young adults pulled the rope and roared, and the stone bridge collapsed.
When the stone bridge collapsed, Zhang Zizhong also arrived with 3,000 yellow scarfs.
At this moment, some of the Yellow Turban Army carried chickens, sheep and grain on their backs. In line with the principle of never letting go of passing by, Zhang Zizhong "raised" some grain and grass and prepared to go to Chengxia, Huairong County to confront Zu Zhao again.
But he didn't expect Zu Zhao to appear in Xiaoqing River.
When a group of old and young women and children appeared in Zhang Zizhong's eyeliner, Zhang Zizhong couldn't help but be stunned. With these people, Zu Zhao and he fought to the death in Xiaoqing River? No, there are still young and middle-aged people on the opposite side, but the bones are so thin that you can't see where they are strong.
There are also Zu Zhao's 300 cavalry, but these 300 cavalry have already got off their horses and hid under the wooden shield.
"Zu Zhao, you dare to come to Xiaoqing River now, and I will make you a pot today!" Zhang Zizhong's eyes emitted a wolf-like light.
"General, the bridge has been destroyed, and the officers and soldiers have destroyed the stone bridge!"
"Go and see if this small Qing River is deep?" Zhang Zizhong is very calm and calm.
In a short time, there will be a scouting reward: "General, this small Qing River is not deep, and the deepest water level is to the chest of the soldiers!"
"Haha! Zu Zhao, you made a mistake! How can such a small river stop me? As long as I cross the river, peel you and cramp your muscles, and vent my hatred!"
"Kill it!"
A long time ago, some soldiers went into the water and found that the water of the river was not deep, and the 3,000 yellow scarf army roared down.
"Give me the wooden spear! Don't stop! There is an immortal rush to kill with a gun. Today, people are in the position and swear to fight to the death!"
Whey!
The wooden spear was thrown up, and the wooden spear made of spicy wood piled up into a hill on the shore. Zu Zhao didn't know how many of them were, but he knew that the spicy wood near Huairong County had been cut down.
"Shield! Shield!" Zhang Zizhong shouted that he had already let Zu Zhao do this.
The yellow scarf army rushed to the front, picked up the shield in front and walked forward with water.
Wood spears are shot, some jingle on the shield, and some avoid the cracks of the shield and insert them into the shield.
There are 30% of shield soldiers, who were nailed to death by wooden spears because of improper protection, but 70% of shield soldiers slowly walked forward with shields.
Step by step approached the shore.
The people of Huairong County couldn't help but feel tight.
