As Zhang Da pointed his halberd at the young county official, the atmosphere on the court suddenly became tense.

In the eyes of these county officials, a thief is a thief after all, and there is no certainty about his moodiness.

But these county officials are actually like this, but this time they are not the ones with the power of life and death, so they are uncomfortable.

Zhang Da suddenly pointed at the young official, wanting to see how panicked he was, but Zhang Da unexpectedly discovered that his calm eyes were unfazed, which made him interested in him, so he asked:

"You little official, you haven't told me your name yet. Come on."

The little official didn't panic and just said:

"I am in Xinzheng Shenshang, and I have met the general."

"Shen Shang? Well, I understand. The name sounds good, like a scholar's name. But I still have to say it first. If the method you say doesn't work after a while, then I can only ask you to come up. "

Shen Shang continued to pay his respects:

"If it doesn't work, I will die."

Outside the county office, after Zhang Da's guards laid down Xinzheng Ling's body, they also buried Xinzheng Ling in a coffin in front of all the people. It really worked.

Upon seeing this, the villagers dispersed one after another. In fact, they also knew that this was the extent of it.

Although Xinzheng Ling was kind to them, there is no reason in this world. In other words, everyone has their own reasons. They also know why Zhou Gui, the ranger in their county, wanted to kill Xinzheng Ling and repay the injustice. So. After Xinzheng Ling was killed, although they were sad, they also knew that Xinzheng Ling had himself to blame.

But when they saw Xinzheng Ling's body hanging outside, they couldn't bear it, and they couldn't bear such humiliation. So they risked their swords to seek justice for Xinzheng Ling.

Now the results are good. And from this time, they really found that this group of Yellow Turban Army is really a little different.

According to common sense, if they had just collided like that, not to mention killing a few, they would have at least whipped the leader. But these Yellow Turbans were very restrained and kept trying to communicate with them. This gave them the feeling of loving the people like their own children. Already.

Zhang Da didn't know that his unintentional act had gained a lot of local people's support.

As Xinzheng was settled, Zhang Da quickly responded to the letter and asked the Thai and Henan coalition forces to enter the city.

Here, the Thai-Henan coalition forces fought brilliantly in the first battle when they entered Sili Xiaowei. Over there, in Yangzhai, a military discussion was also beginning.

---------------

Yingchuan County, Yuzhou, Yangzhai.

New commanders and new shogunate.

All the camp generals and counselors gathered at the governor's mansion in Yangzhai, accompanied by Yin Xiu, the governor of Yingchuan County. The new Zuo Zhonglang general Zhang Wen began his first military meeting.

The former Zuo Zhonglang general Huangfu Song was hit by an arrow in the forehead, and he woke up and fainted intermittently. However, it is said that Cao Cao had invited his fellow countryman, Hua Tuo from the same county, to come to the shogunate to treat Huangfu Song's injury. Maybe it would be better.

But no matter what, with the laws of the court, even if most of the officers under Zuo Zhonglang were conquered and trained by Huangfu Song, as long as Zhang Wen has that honor, it will still be Zhang Wen who is sitting in that tent. .

Zhang Wen was facing nearly a hundred military officials, and his staff were eloquent. Those present were all military officials above the rank of general, and outside they were all with a rank of more than 200 shi. However, they were all sitting upright like common people. Listen to Zhang Wen's instructions from your superiors.

As soon as the military meeting began, Zhang Wen became furious. On the one hand, he denounced General Zuo Zhonglang and all the generals in the camp in a court-like tone for their incompetent command, ineffective fighting, and wasting the main force of the court in Yingyang.

He angrily denounced:

"Every one of you is counted as one, who is not the pillar of the country or the elite of the imperial court. Either they have been tempered in the northwest battlefield, or they have fought against the Xianbei people in the north. But now? Where is the spirit of loyalty to the emperor and serving the country? The whole army is in disbelief.

If you are slack, if this continues, the imperial court and the country will perish in your hands. Shame on you!"

Zhang Wen was not only the commander-in-chief of the imperial court, but also one of the few generals who served as commander-in-chief of the army outside the country. He was given various responsibilities with the respect of the three princes. This was the treatment only those Yuntai generals had during the Guangwu period.

So when Zhang Wen reprimanded these Han generals with these harsh words, the whole audience did not dare to express their anger and kept silent. Afterwards, Zhang Wen scolded for a short while, and then suddenly pointed out Zhao Rong, the former commander of the Central Military Academy.

.

Zhang Wen scolded Zhao Rong:

"There are also some generals who, regardless of the overall situation, support their troops to protect themselves, and treat the country's soldiers as private soldiers. They are so courageous. You must know that the soldiers in your hands eat millet from the Han family and are loyal to the Han family.

In the battle of Yingyang, it was because you refused to save them that the entire army of the Hou Xiaowei Division was wiped out. You, Zhao Rong, will be responsible for the fiasco at Yingyang. And don’t think that some people will protect you, he

Unable to help themselves."

Zhao Rong listened silently at first, not naming him anyway, but suddenly he panicked when he heard Zhang Wen not only pointed out his name, but also blamed himself for Yingyang's defeat.

He glanced at Cao Cao next to Zhang Wen and guessed that this person was setting him up, so he secretly endured this tone. Zhao Rong walked out of the line on his knees and kowtowed heavily to Zhang Wen:

"Commander, how can I, Zhao Rong, be so capable? During the battle of Yingyang, I was fighting at the front. How could I coordinate the whole army? General Zuo Zhonglang was the one who was in charge of the whole army."

As soon as Zhao Rong said this, all the generals present were ashamed:

You are such a salesman looking for glory, but now you, Zhao Rong, want to sell the boss?

Almost all of them were descendants of Huangfu Song. Although they did not dare to stand against Zhang Wen in the struggle between Huangfu Song and Zhang Wen for command of the army, it was impossible for them to betray Huangfu Song.

And now this Zhao Rong, who wants to sell his goods in order to escape his crime, is a pig-dog-like figure. How can we be in the same room as this person?

Zhang Wen, the leader, heard Zhao Rong's words. Although he felt shameless, he had fallen into his plan.

Originally, he learned from Cao Cao that although Zhao Rong was Huangfu Song's important general, he was greedy for life and afraid of death. With the slightest intimidation, he would definitely switch sides.

So Zhang Wen regarded Zhao Rong as the first battle in this power struggle, and indeed the current deadlock was broken in one battle. With this person's endorsement, Zhang Wen could finally capture the main force of more than 10,000 people.

Now that Zhao Rong had opened a breakthrough, Zhang Wen no longer scolded the generals, and then he said:

"Although I have been in the center for a long time, since the Yellow Turban riots in April, I have a deeper understanding of the current situation than everyone present. In recent months, I can see many battlefields in Hebei, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Nanyang.

To be honest, I am subject to failure at every turn.

Hebei was better off. With General Bei Zhonglang as the commander and Youzhou's cavalry, the Han army had defeated the Yellow Turbans' attack in Hebei in several important battles, and had separated and surrounded the three Zhang brothers in Guangzong and Quyang.

But even so, it's just a siege, and we don't know when it will be pacified.

But on the battlefield in Qingzhou, it was unbearable. Jiao Hezhen, the governor of Qingzhou, was a delusional man. He was sitting in a large state and had a lot of soldiers, but every time he fought with the Yellow Turban Army, he didn't catch the wind and the flags and drums, and he expected the invaders to rush north.

I know that in the city, I have a divination talk, and if I want to make Qingzhou no longer owned by the country, I really want to kill this official.

And in Yanzhou, not to mention. Since the Taishan bandits started their army, how many two thousand stones has the imperial court lost in the hands of these thieves? Not only did Taishan become restless, but they also went north to Heji to cause trouble. This time Yingshan

In the first battle of Yang, he even rushed to attack, causing our army to suffer a huge defeat. It can be said that this thief is the most powerful bandit among thieves, and he must be a close friend of our Han family.

Our army's main opponent in the next stage is this thief.

As for Yuzhou and Nanyang, there is an opportunity in danger. The Yellow Turbans in Yuzhou are divided into two parts, and the thieves going south to Runan are not a concern. The thieves going north have followed the Taishan army northward. Although the disaster will come later, at the moment, the Yellow Turbans in Yuzhou are not enough.

For concern. This is where we need to turn things around quickly.

And in Nanyang, hum, let’s not talk about it for now. In short, I tell you that now we have reached a critical moment of the survival of the country. The government and the public are looking at us. Are they ridiculing us Han soldiers for having reached this level? Even

Even the moths and thieves that have sprung up are uncertain. This is the greatest harm to the authority of the Han Dynasty, and I cannot bear it.

However, although the war has not been going well recently, as long as we inspire our conscience and work hard, there is still a lot to be done to defeat the thieves. Because our Han family still has a stable rear area in Sanhe, Jingxiang, Guanzhong, Sichuan, Shu, and Jianghuai, whether it is

Whether it is the Yellow Turban Army in Hebei in the Central Plains or the Qiang rebellion in the northwest, we are all confident of winning the final victory.

But the premise of all this is you, you military officials with more than 600 stones. Whether you can take good care of yourself, be loyal to the emperor, and whether you can inspire the morale of your subordinates, and then reorganize the army. You are the flags of the whole army.

The soldiers are all looking at you. If you are confident, the soldiers under your command will be confident. If you are slack, the soldiers under your command will be even more slack.

So, gentlemen, you are the key to this battle, and the future of the Han Dynasty rests on your shoulders. Work hard, gentlemen."

So, nearly a hundred Han military officials present bowed their heads and said solemnly:

"I am willing to die for my country."

Seeing that morale had been restored, Zhang Wen began to devise a new strategy:

"Now that we have defeated the rebels, it has reached the most critical moment. With the end of the battles in Nanyang and Yuzhou, the Han troops in the two places will gradually move north to attack the Yellow Turban Army in the two places. With the addition of this new force, Hebei will

The deadlock with Yanzhou will be broken, and by then, the entire situation will be reversed.

But now there is a problem, that is, the enemy also knows the trend of the war, so they are planning to go north to attack Aocang. As the supply rear of the two main Han armies in Henan and Hebei, Aocang can be said to be the real winner of this battle. If

Once Aocang is lost, not only Hebei will be lost, but Henan will also be destroyed. By then, it will not be us who will be liberated, but the Yellow Turban Army on the opposite side.

So, do you all here know the importance of Aocang?"

Still no one spoke, but Zhang Wen knew that they knew the seriousness. It was just because he was too strong and powerful that no one dared to speak for a while. But that's okay, how can he be handsome without being powerful?

The military discussion at this moment was Zhang Wen's one-man show. A sense of grandeur that stood at a turning point in history and was promoted by Zhang Wen alone made him tremble all over.

So Zhang Wen stood up:

"This time, it is the time for the monarchs to use force to turn the tide. Why should the imperial court be stingy in paying tribute to the princes? Now the main force of the Yanyu Yellow Turbans will gather in Xingyang. We can annihilate them all there and complete their achievements in one battle."

Many generals present panicked after hearing Zhang Wen's words.

What are you thinking, we only have more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, but we still have to fight with other people's main force? Isn't that going to end in death?

Several generals were looking at Zhao Rong, but this man had just committed a scandal and he didn't want to stand up for others, so they pretended not to see him.

At this time, a general came out, but it was Cao Cao who was sitting on his knees next to Zhang Wen. He saw Cao Cao wearing a martial arts hat and bowed to Zhang Wen:

"Commander, our army is very weak after all, so we rashly join forces with thieves to fight, and we don't know whether we will succeed or not."

Seeing Cao Cao coming out to oppose Zhang Wen, several generals were worried about Cao Cao, fearing that Zhang Wen's anger would be directed at this poor military official.

But who would have expected that Zhang Wen changed his temper and replied carefully:

"This time, I have invited reinforcements for everyone. Previously, in the name of General Zuo Zhonglang of Sikong Jianxingyingying, I recruited the prefects of six counties in Yuzhou: Yingchuan, Runan, Liang, Pei, Chen, and Lu.

The families in the six counties with a registered capital of more than 600 shi each set up regiment training, clan troops, and tribes. By the end of September this year, they were all in the Changshe regiment camp."

What!
