Liu Hong felt a little tired. The Yellow Turban Rebellion completely disrupted the seemingly stable political situation. I think there will be more troubles in the future.

"Ask my father to summon Lady Zhao. I need to rest."

"Yes."

Thousands of miles away in the Yingchuan battlefield, Wang Yao's rebel army has entered Changsha and started to strengthen the city defense.

Since Changsha is not far from Bo Cai's army, the county magistrate here has already fled, leaving only a county magistrate to manage local affairs. Fortunately, Bo Cai did not attack, otherwise it would have fallen long ago.

The county magistrate was very excited about Wang Yao's entry. Although it was not a regular army, it was at least a reinforcement. At this time, he should not be picky.

As the vanguard, Le Jin arrived first and negotiated with the county magistrate. Therefore, when Wang Yao's main force arrived, the county magistrate came out to greet him personally:

"Changshe County Magistrate Wei Qiang, meet you, thank you for saving the people of Changsha from danger."

For the majority of officials, Wang Yao's identity as a prince of the Wang family of Taiyuan is much more useful than a leader of the rebel army. This is the influence of the gentry.

Seeing him so respectful, Wang Yao bowed and said: "The county magistrate fled, but Wei County Magistrate dared to stay behind to comfort the people. He is a true hero. Your Excellency rest assured that my rebel army will live and die with the people of Changsha."

"Your Excellency really lives up to the name of 'Little Mengchang'. Wei is grateful."

In modern times, among the four princes of the Warring States Period, Xinling Jun's fame and reputation seem to far exceed the other three princes. Wei Wuji is loyal and leads the coalition army to fight against the late-developing and fully developed Qin State, more prestigious;

Mengchangjun Tian Wen is far inferior to Wei Wuji in character and loyalty, but a prince is not necessarily a gentleman.

From the perspective of coalition, Tian Wen is actually not bad.

He can get along in all aspects.

He served as the prime minister of Qin and ran away after being excluded; he served as the prime minister of Qi and united Han and Wei to attack Chu and Yan; he served as the prime minister of Wei and sent troops to unite Yan and Zhao to attack Qi; the peak should be leading the troops of Qi, Han and Wei to attack Qin's Hangu Pass and force Qin to cede land and seek peace.

Now it is the Han Dynasty, and the four princes are all very famous. Wang Yao, as a prince of aristocratic family, recruited refugees and tyrants, just like Mengchangjun who recruited chicken-crowing and dog-stealing thieves.

Wei Qiang is a small branch of the Wei family in Hedong, and he also knows a little about Wang Yao's name.

"Sir, please go into the city first to discuss in detail."

"Yes." Wang Yao agreed, and at the same time ordered: "Wen Ji, Guan Yu, you lead two camps and set up camp outside the city, forming a horn with Changsha City, which is conducive to defense."

"Yes."

Just as Wang Yao continued to strengthen the defense of Changsha City and stockpile supplies, Zhu Jun's army, just crossed the Wei River and was attacked by Bo Cai's army before it had a firm foothold.

The drums of war were beating, deafening, as if even the heaven and earth were shaking.

The Yellow Turban Army was like a violent torrent, shouting, waving swords and guns, and rushing towards Zhu Jun's army.

Although Zhu Jun's Han army was a regular army, it was also caught off guard by Bo Cai's sudden attack.

The Yellow Turban Army had a large number of people and a strong offensive.Fiercely, they soon broke through the Han army's front line.

The Han soldiers fought hard, and Zhu Jun stood in front of the battle, his eyes were like torches. He knew the importance of this battle and understood his responsibility.

If he lost the first battle, not only would his official position be in jeopardy, but the Yellow Turban Army would also become more arrogant.

He waved his sword and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, for the sake of the court, you must not retreat!"

Although Zhu Jun was brave and fearless, and even went forward to fight in person, the Han army gradually fell into a disadvantage under Bo Cai's fierce attack.

The soldiers fell one after another, and the blood dyed the ground red.

Under the banner of the Yellow Turban Army, Bo Cai, wearing a yellow turban and iron armor, rode on a horse, looking at Zhu Jun who was surrounded, and said disdainfully:

"Is this the famous general of the Han court? Nothing more than that."

The Han army had its back to the Wei River, and the other three sides were surrounded by the Yellow Turban Army. Bo Cai relied on the advantage in numbers to pin Zhu Jun down in a small area, making him dare not look back. The Wei River was behind him, but Zhu Jun was not Han Xin.

Even if Han Xin fought a desperate battle, he took the initiative to use the strategy, and Zhu Jun was really surrounded now.

Zhu Jun's heart was filled with grief and anger, but he also understood that at this time and place, only by breaking through the siege could he preserve his strength for the future.

He ordered loudly: "Hold on in the front, the rear army prepares to evacuate!"

Although Bo Cai surrounded Zhu Jun on three sides, the Weishui floating bridge was still behind Zhu Jun, so there was still a way to retreat. However, under the enemy's siege, how many of his 20,000 soldiers could survive and cross the floating bridge?

As soon as Zhu Jun issued the retreat order, the Han army immediately lost morale.

The rear army became the front army and retreated on the Weishui floating bridge, but the front army and the central army still faced the offensive of the Yellow Turban Army.

When retreating, because there was only one floating bridge, many soldiers fell into the water due to the crowding, and their lives and deaths were unknown.

Bo Cai saw Zhu Jun trying to escape, waved his flag, and shouted: "The Han army is trying to escape! Brothers, attack with all your strength! Don't let them get away! He Jie, lead the Yellow Turban Warriors to attack!"

Morale was rising and falling, and the Yellow Turbans attacked more fiercely. The defense line formed by the Han army's front and central army was torn apart by the elite 'Yellow Turban Warriors' in the Yellow Turban Army, and the Han army's formation was in chaos.

The deputy general pulled Zhu Jun: "General, retreat first, I will stop them for you!"

"You..." Zhu Jun was a little moved and patted his shoulder: "The important task is entrusted to you, and I will take care of your wife and children."

After handing over the command to the deputy general, Zhu Jun retreated in a hurry under the protection of a group of personal guards.

The Yellow Turban Army under Bo Cai's command became more and more courageous. In the process of breaking through, Zhu Jun witnessed countless soldiers falling, and his heart was as painful as a knife. But he also understood that war was so cruel and ruthless that only by being strong could one survive.

Without Zhu Jun as the backbone, the remaining Han army was defeated by the Yellow Turban Army and was killed in pieces.

"He Jie, Zhu Jun has become a lost dog. You take the Yellow Turban warriors and cross the river to chase him!"

"Yes, sir."

He Jie held threeGu Cha, with a thousand Yellow Turban warriors, stepped over the floating bridge and chased Zhu Jun.

Bo Cai continued to command the Yellow Turban Army and killed the remaining Han army.

Zhu Jun crossed the Wei River and simply gathered the defeated soldiers. With less than two thousand soldiers around him, he continued to flee northward.

"General, where should we retreat?"

"This time I was careless. Retreat to the north, Changsha, where we can use the city defense to resist the Yellow Turban bandits. As long as we hold on until General Huangfu arrives, we will be able to turn defeat into victory!"

The Yellow Turban general He Jie behind him followed the traces left by Zhu Jun and chased him all the way.

Zhu Jun did not dare to stop to rest, and ran away without caring about his embarrassment.

Changshe City

Wang Meng walked quickly to Wang Yao: "Young Master, the scouts reported that Zhu Jun was defeated by Bo Cai at Weishui, and the follow-up is unknown."

"Tell Guan Yu and Le Jin to follow me to support Zhu Jun. The defense of the city is left to you."

"Yes."

Afterwards, Wang Yao put on his armor and mounted his horse, leading Guan Yu, Le Jin, and the soldiers of the two battalions to march south.

It was getting dark, and Zhu Jun's defeated soldiers were in low morale, hungry and thirsty. There were pursuers behind them, and the situation was critical.
