Chapter 32
At around 8 o'clock the next morning, Zhang Yu entered the palace again. The Central General Zhao Zhong gave Zhang Yu four decrees, one for the left central general Huangfu Song, asking Huangfu Song to resolutely and completely eliminate the Yellow Turban bandits Peng Tuo tribes. After the Peng Tuo tribes were eliminated, the army rested and prepared to cross the river to eliminate the Yellow Turban bandits in Jizhou. The other was for the right central general Zhu Jun, who wiped out the Yellow Turban bandits in Runan, and went to Nanyang to wipe out the Yellow Turban bandits in Nanyang. The other was for the Runan prefect Zhao Qian, who was removed from his position as a prefect, and returned to Luoyang to stay at home. The other was for Zhang Yu, who was ordered to select prisoners and took them to the Yangdi fiefdom to clear the land and farm.
After Zhang Yu put the imperial edict into his backpack, he quickly left.
This time Zhang Yu came to Luoyang, and he didn't even see Wang Yue. The journey was very far, with a journey of nearly 300 kilometers. He had to run at a speed of fifty yards, which would take about six hours. [Fast Run] The special function could only run at a uniform speed for an hour. After running for an hour quickly, he had to slow down and continue to run at a speed of fifty yards after a period of time. In other words, the journey of about 300 kilometers had to run at at least eight hours. He set off at 8 am and could only reach his destination after 4 pm.
Zhang Yu thought there were opportunities to come to Luoyang, and it would be not too late to see Wang Yue again if he came to Luoyang next time.
After Zhang Yu arrived in Yangdi, he had lunch at the house of Laideting Laide Ting in Yuwangting. By the way, he heard him explain the situation of selling salt. The peak period for selling salt has passed, and only a dozen bags were sold today. Zhang Yu told Laide Ting that there was no need to worry about the business. It would take not long before foreign merchants would arrive. At that time, it was possible to sell 10,000 bags a day.
Chief Lai De said that he believed what Zhang Yu said, the salt was so good and the price was extremely cheap. Once it was advertised, merchants would definitely flock to it.
Zhang Yu told Chief Lai De not to worry about the manpower. He is trying to find a way. Then many people will help sell and deliver them.
Zhang Yu rested at Laideting's house for more than half an hour, drank enough water, and continued to go south.
He arrived at Pingyu around 4:30 in the afternoon and handed over the imperial edict to Zhu Jun and Zhao Qian. He also heard about the situation of Huangfu Song's tribe. He learned that Huangfu Song's tribe had pursued him not long after, Xihua bit Peng Tuo's tribe and launched a fierce battle there. Now Peng Tuo's tribe retreated into Xihua City, and the city could be broken at any time.
After hearing this, Zhang Yu felt very complicated and wanted to remain neutral, but he helped the official army too much in his behavior. Zhang Yu sympathized with the Yellow Turban Army, but could not give his substantial help.
Zhang Yu couldn't care about so much, so he could only learn from Cao Cao. He would rather teach me to let the people of the world down than to let the people of the world down. In order to complete the tasks assigned by the strongest courier system, he must learn to use all the power that can be used, eliminate any obstacles, and resolutely run the express company out.
Now that there is another opportunity to earn special abilities, how can you not hold on to it?
After Zhang Yu said goodbye to Zhu Jun and Zhao Qian, he immediately ran to Xihua.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, Zhang Yu met Huangfu Song in front of the formation. After Zhang Yu handed over the imperial edict of Emperor Ling of Han to Huangfu Song, Huangfu Song looked to the north and sighed heavily and said, "I didn't expect that the Northern Army General Lu Zhi would be in a bad situation. It's impossible! Is there a villain behind the scenes?"
In real history, Lu Zhi's tactics were correct, but he did not bribe the eunuch of the military supervisor Zuo Feng, which led to the eunuch of the military supervisor Zuo Feng slandering in front of Emperor Ling of Han. Emperor Ling of Han believed the slander and dismissed Lu Zhi, and appointed Dong Zhuo as the General of the Eastern Central Army to fight. Dong Zhuo was defeated and could only send Huangfu Song to come over. Huangfu Song achieved a comprehensive victory and established his position as a general in history.
Zhang Yu said: "I don't know. I didn't hear anyone criticizing General Lu Zhi in the palace."
Huangfu Song said: "General Lu Zhi is highly respected and I respect him very much. I just don't know what the court asked me to rest in this area?"
Zhang Yu smiled and said: "Let you stay in this area to prevent the Yellow Turban Army from reviving, but you will not have a long rest time. In the future, the court will definitely transfer you to Jizhou to fight."
Huangfu Song shook his head and said, "Impossible. Dong Zhuo led the Liangzhou Army. He has extremely strong combat power. Can't he be able to deal with the Yellow Turban bandits?"
Zhang Yu smiled and said: "Dong Zhuo cannot win, only you can win the final victory."
Huangfu Song obviously did not believe what Zhang Yu said, and looked at Xihua City changing the topic and said: "Xihua has been surrounded. I want to attack the city early tomorrow morning and kill all the Yellow Turban Moth Thiefs."
Zhang Yu quickly said, "General Huangfu, Your Majesty has given me an imperial edict."
Zhang Yu showed the imperial edict to Huangfu Song. After Huangfu Song looked at it, he frowned and said, "Zhang Yu, we cannot raise prisoners. Besides, these people were poisoned too deeply. If they were not cut off the weeds, they would inevitably rekindle."
Zhang Yu smiled and said, "Let me select some prisoners to take them to the Yuwang Pavilion. This is the will of the Lord."
Huangfu Song said: "I have ordered that after conquering Xihua tomorrow morning, I will kill all the Yellow Turban Moths."
Zhang Yu said: "General Huangfu, if the strong attack on Xihua will inevitably lead to heavy casualties in your army, why not persuade him to surrender?"
Huangfu Song sighed and said, "The poison of Taipingdao is too deep among these people. How can they surrender? If they are willing to surrender, everything will be easy. How many people can be killed in our army!"
Zhang Yu smiled and said, "How about let me go into the city and try it?"
Huangfu Song sneered and said, "Zhang Yu, I believe you have the ability. How could you enter the city when the two armies are fighting? Before you get close to the city wall, you may be penetrated by thousands of arrows. Don't show off your ability, I don't have to show off your ability."
Zhang Yu asked with a smile: "I have to go to the city to persuade him to surrender?"
Huangfu Song's face turned pale and he sternly said: "Zhang Yu, I am the supreme commander here. Do you dare to disobey orders? I will kill you on the grounds that you have acquainted with the thieves."
Zhang Yu's anger suddenly burst out and he said loudly: "I sued you with my intention to enter the city and persuade you to surrender. Even if I figured out the Yellow Turbans, I would be clear, not an affair. I have thought about it, and I must go in and persuade them to surrender. The Yellow Turbans are all ordinary people. They are very simple. If you kill them all, how can you live up to your conscience? I just want to ask, if I can persuade them to surrender, what do you say?"
Huangfu Song did not expect that Zhang Yu was so brave and dared to talk to him in such a tone.
Huangfu Song was stunned and said, "I surrendered and I don't have food to feed them, so I can only kill them all. I want to use their bodies to build Jingguan to shock the rebels in the world."
Zhang Yu said: "They are not the enemy army when killing and surrendering. Don't worry, I will pick some prisoners and I will personally provide them with food and you don't have to worry about it."
Huangfu Song closed his eyes and sighed heavily, "Zhang Yu, you really can't enter the city. My army surrounded Xihua like an iron barrel. Peng Tuo's troops were all guarding the city. As long as someone approached, they would shoot arrows. If the city gates were not opened, you would not fly in."
Zhang Yu smiled and said, "I'll jump in! Don't worry! I know you feel sorry for me and are worried that I will be shot to death by arrows from both armies. But I want to save the lives of these Yellow Turban Army and the lives of the official army brothers. I don't want to see more people die."
Huangfu Song could not persuade Zhang Yu, so he could only let Zhang Yu try it. If he really didn't have the chance to enter the city, Huangfu Song would send someone to capture Zhang Yu and wait until the city was broken before releasing it. Unconsciously, Huangfu Song fell in love with Zhang Yu, the iron-blooded general fell in love with someone from the bottom of his heart for the first time. He didn't want Zhang Yu to die. He hoped that Zhang Yu could live well, and even wanted to keep Zhang Yu by his side and train him well. He firmly believed that as long as he was given time, he would definitely train Zhang Yu to become a pillar of the country.
Late at night, Zhang Yu, under the protection of two hundred soldiers, approached Xihua City quietly.
General Huangfu Song stood in the distance and watched closely, praying that the gods would appear and that all Zhang Yu's wishes would come true.
What Huangfu Song never dreamed of was that a miracle happened. When Zhang Yu was still dozens of meters away from the city wall, he suddenly disappeared. In the blink of an eye, he appeared under the city wall. Because Zhang Yu was wearing a dazzling white silk gown, he could see clearly in the moonlight.
Huangfu Song's eyes flashed again, and Zhang Yu appeared on the city wall. The Yellow Turban Army made a noise on the city wall, and Zhang Yu disappeared instantly.
