Back to the Three Kingdoms

Huang Pusong was moved by Chen Lang and Guan Yu, saying, "What you said is very reasonable. But after all, this is a court regulation, and I can't openly violate it. I decided to write a letter to the court to accuse Dong Zhuo of defeating the funeral teacher for not advancing, I believe. The court will deal with it fairly."

Guan Yu became anxious and wanted to speak, but when he saw his elder brother winking at him, he swallowed the words that came to his lips.

The two brothers said goodbye to Huang Pusong and returned to their account. Guan Yu couldn't help but said: "Big brother, why don't you let me continue to persuade? The court is now in charge, waiting for the court's decision. I don't know when it will be delayed!"

Chen Lang said: "Don't you see Huang Pusong's attitude? It is impossible for him to act decisively at all costs! It is understandable that he has concerns."

Guan Yu frowned and said: "If you drag on like this, when the Yellow Turban thief army regains its vitality, then I don't know how much it will cost to eliminate them!"

Chen Lang said: "Chang Yun's worries are reasonable. But this matter is not that simple, nor can we manage it." Then he mocked himself: "If we have enough power, we don't need to look at it like this. People's faces have changed. But now we simply don't have the ability to provoke the whole situation alone." Guan Yu's expression was depressed.

An army officer led a servant of the wind and dust and rushed in and reported: "My lord, Brother Ganning has sent someone." After saying that, he stepped aside, and the servant who followed him in immediately stepped forward and clasped his fists. "Brother Wolf, Brother Ganning has an emergency military report to Brother Wolf. Not long ago, a Yellow Turban army suddenly appeared in Shucheng, west of Chaohu Lake, not far from our Wuwei County!"

Chen Lang and Guan Yu were taken aback, and Guan Yu said in disbelief, "How come the Yellow Turban thief army appeared near Chaohu Lake?"

The officer shook his head and said he didn't know.

Chen Lang asked, "How many people are there in this group of Yellow Turbans? Who is the leader?"

The officer said: "According to the information from the refugees, there are 50,000 to 60,000 people in the Yellow Turban gang, and the leader is called Sun Zhong."

Both Chen Lang and Guan Yu frowned, looking very worried. Guan Yu said, "Brother, Gan Ning has only 1,000 people in his hands. In case of an attack, there is no chance of luck!" Chen Lang said flatly, "Let's go back and go back immediately!" Guan Yu nodded and clasped his fists. I'll go to gather the team immediately!" Chen Lang nodded, and Guan Yu hurried down. Chen Lang immediately left the tent and went to Huangpusong's tent to say goodbye.

Huang Pusong learned that the Yellow Turbans went south to Chaohu and thought: "It must be the remnants of Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang who had been disbanded and the Yellow Turbans attacked Chaohu in the south. I can give it to my little brother.” After a pause, “I will support two thousand cavalry for the little brother. I hope that the little brother will succeed in bringing down the rebellion! On the day of success, I will definitely recommend the little brother’s contribution to the court. !" Chen Lang thanked him and hurried away.

When Chen Lang returned to his station, Guan Yu had assembled two thousand men and horses. At this moment, a very majestic general with a curvy beard and a somewhat gratifying appearance led two thousand cavalrymen wearing light armor and hand-held spears to Chen Lang's resident. Chen Lang said to Guan Yu: "General Huangpu sent two thousand cavalry to help us." Guan Yu nodded, feeling that the two thousand more cavalry would be a good thing.

The leading general turned over and dismounted and came in front of Chen Lang, clasped his fists, and said with an urn: "The final general Chun Yuqiong was ordered by General Huangpu to assist the adults with two thousand cavalry."

Guan Yu didn't feel much at all when he heard the name, but Chen Lang was depressed in his heart. I couldn't help but took a look at Chunyuqiong, and secretly exclaimed: ‘It turned out to be Chunyuqiong who drank himself to death? "However, Chen Lang felt that although this person's aura was not as good as Guan Yu's, it was almost the same. At first glance, he was like a bear and tiger in the battlefield. Don't understand that Chunyuqiong in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is so bad?

Chen Lang temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart, and said to Chunyuqiong with a fist, "There is General Lao." Chunyuqiong laughed and said with a fist: "You are not welcome, I admire the adults very much!" Chen Lang saw Chunyu Qiong and talked about boldness. , Couldn't help but add a bit of goodwill to him. Chen Lang said: "The military situation in Chaohu is urgent. I have to set off immediately. Is there a problem with the general?" Chun Yuqiong clasped a fist and said, "But with your orders!" Chen Lang nodded, and then gave an order to send troops. The two thousand men and horses directly under Chen Lang and the two thousand light cavalry led by Chun Yuqiong left the camp and headed south.

auzw.com Sun Zhong, originally a Titan under Zhang Liang's command, has fled to the south since Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao's defeat in Changsha. Along the way, Sun Zhong gathered the disintegrated Yellow Turban Army, and within a few days, they gathered another 20,000 people, and then the army moved south. The Yellow Turban thief army in Yangzhou didn't have any climate, but Sun Zhong came to the Yellow Turban army from all over Yangzhou to gather one after another, eventually converging into an army of more than 60,000 horses. Sun Zhong saw that his soldiers and horses were in great numbers, and he couldn't help being bold enough to attack Huainan City, the capital of Yangzhou. However, Huainan City was high and wide, with sufficient grain and grass, and sufficient equipment for soldiers and horses. Sun Zhong failed to break through for several days and lost. There were a lot of people, and at this time Sun Zhongjun's food and grass were almost exhausted.

In desperation, Sun Zhong had to give up attacking Huainan and swept his army south to looting. The states and counties in southern Yangzhou suffered one after another. Where the Yellow Turban army passed, houses were burned, property details, women looted, and old people were killed. Children were treated as cattle and sheep, and they were often killed in the army to fight teeth, while mature men were coerced to join the army. The land of Yangzhou was filled with wolves and corpses, a miserable sight. Sun Zhong, the Yellow Turban Army, did not encounter any resistance after leaving Yangzhou, and all the way south, the number of soldiers and horses rapidly swelled to hundreds of thousands in a short period of time, which is far from the number stated in the intelligence obtained by Chen Lang.

Sun Mo, the Lujiang prefect, received the news that the Yellow Turban army had come fiercely. Even if he ordered the army to abandon Lujiang and prepare to flee west. After this, the people who were already disturbed immediately became upset, no matter what happened, everyone was still a small family, and all of them dragged their families and prepared to escape from Lujiang City. There was a tumultuous chaos in Lujiang City. Some people took advantage of the fire to rob, crying and shouting one after another, and the city gates on all sides were already crowded with people eager to escape from the city.

Zhou Yu met Sun Mo who was about to board the ship at the pier, and quickly grabbed him, and said anxiously, "You can't leave, your lord!"

Sun Mo anxiously said: "The Yellow Turban thief army is coming, can't you wait for death if you don't leave?"

Zhou Yu said: "As the Lujiang prefect, how can you abandon the city if you are responsible for keeping the land? So I am afraid that not only can you not confess to the local people, but also the court! Once the court asks the crime, have you ever thought about the consequences?"

Sun Mo was taken aback, his face turned pale, and he said in a daze, "Then, what should I do?"

Zhou Yu said: "The adults should stay to guard, so that they can be worthy of the court and the people. As long as the Yellow Turbans are repelled, the adults will not only become the heroes in the hearts of the people, but they will also be rewarded by the court!"

Sun Mo couldn't help feeling a little moved, but when he thought of the Yellow Turban army approaching, his legs were soft, and said: "But, but I heard that the Yellow Turban thieves are many and powerful. We, we, are not many people. I'm afraid, I'm afraid...?"

Zhou Yu categorically said: "Don't worry, adults! The Yellow Turbans are nothing more than a mob. Although they are large in number, the officers and soldiers under the adults and the elites under the command are enough to fight against them! Previously in the Changsha, there were 60,000 officers and soldiers. Didn't it defeat the 400,000 Yellow Turban Army? It can be seen that the Yellow Turban Army is not terrible even though it is crowded!"

Sun Mo couldn't help regaining some confidence after hearing Zhou Yu's words. After hesitating, he nodded and said, "Then, then I will listen to Master Zhou."

Zhou Yu was overjoyed and clasped his fist and said: "This is the blessing of the people of Lujiang! Please pay back the office immediately, and send people to make an announcement throughout the city, saying that the adults will sit in the Lujiang Mansion to guard the Lujiang River and ask the people to return home immediately without panic !" Sun Mo hesitated for a moment, frowned and said, "Just listen to Young Master Zhou!"

The people are eager to escape from the city. At this moment, the government’s surprise came with a flying horse and shouted: "The prefect has returned to the prefectural government to take care of the defense! The prefect is confident to defeat the Yellow Turban army, and the people in the city should not panic and give The Yellow Turban thief army can take advantage of this opportunity to return to each house quickly! If you do not obey the order, they will treat it as a yellow turban spoiler!" When the people heard this announcement, their flustered hearts calmed down. At this time, seeing the defenders closing the gate and shouting loudly, the people left near the gate and went home. The hustle and bustle of each exit gate soon quieted down. Zhou Yu patrolled the gates of the city, and saw that the people had dispersed, and couldn't help but feel relieved.

At midnight that day, the whole Lujiang City was very quiet, except for the occasional dog barking, there was almost no movement. At this time in the past, the night market in Lujiang was very lively.

Zhou Yu was thinking about looking at the map. At this moment, an army officer hurried in and reported in a hurry: "Young Master Zhou, the scout just came to report that the Yellow Turban thief army has been twenty miles away, and there are nearly 200,000 people!" Zhou Yu eats Shocked, he frowned and said, "The Yellow Turban thief army swelled so badly! It was quite unexpected!"

At this moment, another military officer hurried in and reported in a hurry: "It's not good, it's not good! Lord Zhou, Sun Taishou led his army to escape!"

Zhou Yu was shocked and rushed out of the study.

Soon after, Zhou Yu led a dozen guards to the pier, and he saw Sun Mo's family and Lujiang Army boarding the ship, obviously leaving here. Zhou Yu hurried to the pier and shouted to Sun Mo, who had already boarded the boat and removed the pedals: "Why does your lord have to leave suddenly?"
