Facts prove that Zhang Huang's misunderstanding was quite accurate. A few days later, the detailed work in Youzhou sent an extremely cruel bad news: General Zhang Bao, the Earth Prince, sent tens of thousands of Anping Kingdom Yellow Turban Army to capture Youzhou, was defeated by Youzhou prefect Liu Yan and the captain Zou Jing, while the chief general Cheng Zhiyuan and deputy general Deng Mao were each killed and knocked down by two opponents.↖

[Five hundred men and 50,000 troops...]

Holding the news of the defeat, Zhang Huang's heart was trembling, not to mention his hands.

The 50,000 army is far inferior to the Northern Army, but after all, it is the army that Zhang Bao has run in Anping Kingdom for a long time, and it is so lightly ruined?

"There are those powerful generals in Youzhou? I killed my Yellow Turban Lord and two deputy generals in the chaos?"

Next to Zhang Huang, Zhang Yan, who had just taken the position of "General" and was extremely shocked, with an incredible look on her face.

In order to facilitate management and command, the Yellow Turban Army also followed the military officer system of the Han Dynasty, but there was a slight difference.

Since Zhang Huang, the "General General" Zhang Yan and Guo Tai, the only two who are in charge of military affairs, both serve as "General Generals" and assist Zhang Huang in managing and commanding the rest of the generals in the army. From the other two, the military positions are roughly divided into two positions: "Prince of the Soldier" and "Prince of the Soldier". Among them, the lieutenant is the chief position, and the general is responsible for most of the military affairs of the Yellow Turban Army on weekdays. Yan Zheng, the general under Zhang Bao, is temporarily held; and the steward is the deputy, with two other confidants of Zhang Huang, Han Xian and Yang Feng, assisting Yan Zheng in managing the huge army.

And further down, there are generals of all levels. At the moment when people generally believe that the title of "general" is under the title of "senior", it is basically only named on all the generals who directly lead troops to fight, and the Yellow Turban Army is also unavoidable. Therefore, generals such as Bian Xi, Lang Ping, Yu Du, Guan Gu, and Tao Sheng are generally in this class, including Yan Lei, who was pretended by General Zhang Liang.

The above is the division of positions of the Yellow Turban Generals in Jizhou.

[Two generals…]

Hearing Zhang Yan say that in shock, Zhang Huang smiled bitterly. In front of the "Martial Saint" Guan Yu and "Horse Huan" Zhang Fei, Cheng Zhiyuan and Deng Mao, who died in battle with almost only one face in the first chapter of the Romance Book, are considered to be the generals of which one on the ground? It is purely to set off Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's two fierce generals, which are the background of the appearance of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Similarly, there are He Yi who set off Xu Chu, Pei Yuanshao who set off Zhao Yun, and so on. It seems that in front of these fierce generals, the generals of the Yellow Turban Army can only serve as the background green leaves.

This is obviously the sorrow of the Yellow Turban forces: there are not many believers who trust the religious idea of ​​"Taipingdao", but there are too few who are truly on the table, especially when the Yellow Turban Army Commander Qu and the Xiaoqu Army Commander were defeated and died, they were still under the title of the Yellow Turban Army. Only two or three shrimp soldiers and crab generals were left, and they became targets of beating and looting by powerful forces from all sides. Otherwise, how did you think Cao Cao's extremely powerful "Qingzhou Army" come from in the future?

"Youzhou, let's stop thinking about getting involved...the next one." After sighing, Zhang Huang handed the battle report in his hand to another person engaged in Guo Tai, and took another bad news from him.

When the prefect of Youzhou Liu Yan and the captain Zou Jing joined forces to defeat Cheng Zhiyuan and Deng Mao, the Sima Ju of the Yellow Turbans of Qingzhou was besieging Guangxian in Qingzhou. The prefect of Qingzhou Gong Jing asked for help from Youzhou. A few days later, the prefect of Youzhou Liu Yan sent the captain Zou Jing to lead 5,000 elite troops to defeat the commander of the Yellow Turbans of Qingzhou, and defeated Sima Ju within three days after arriving in Guangxian. The latter led the remaining troops to retreat to Jinan County.

[…]

Looking at the second bad news, Zhang Huang was exhausted and pinched the bridge of his nose and didn't even make a fuck.

You should know that in the past, in the entire Hebei (north of the Yellow River), the Yellow Turban forces could be roughly divided into Zhang Huang's Pingxiang Yellow Turbans, Zhang Niujiao's Black Mountain Yellow Turbans, and Zhang Bao's Anping Kingdom Yellow Turbans. But these three were originally belonging to the Jizhou Yellow Turbans, and the only one who could really be regarded as sub-powers was the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans. Since Zhang Huang ordered the Yellow Turbans of the World to launch an anti-Han battle, the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans showed their fierce momentum, fighting from the south of the Yellow River to the north of the Yellow River, and the sphere of influence successfully bordered the Jizhou Yellow Turbans, which was the main army, so that the Jizhou Yellow Turbans would not have the worries of being attacked from behind.

Now that's it, the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou were directly defeated and retreated to the south of the Yellow River in shame. This means that the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou will face threats from Youzhou, Qingzhou and Jizhou alone again. Fortunately, the Yellow Turbans in Puyang Dongjun in the south are in good condition. Otherwise, the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou would directly be made into dumplings by the court in Jizhou.

As for the powerful generals of the imperial court who defeated the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, Zhang Huang could guess that it was Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. After all, in this period when the "Three Jehovahs in Taoyuan" had not yet truly emerged, the contribution of the captain Zou Jing can almost be regarded as the contribution of the three Jehovahs in this suffrage, and there is no doubt.

[So upset!]

After being defeated by two defeats, Zhang Huang felt so frustrated that he could not stop him. After thinking for a while, he ordered Guo Tai, "Immediately send a letter to Simaju in Qingzhou, telling him not to think about attacking Qingzhou again, and to take steady steps to control nearby cities and counties."

To be fair, Zhang Huang's idea is correct. He hopes that the Qingzhou Yellow Turban will take a rest and preserve his strength so as to help him in the future. But as the saying goes, things are unpredictable. Even Zhang Huang did not expect that Sima Ju, who suffered a great loss in Qingzhou, was beaten by Guan Yu. After Zhang Fei was full of fear, he gave up the strategy of Qingzhou, but he set his sights on Yan and Xuzhou in the south.

It is undeniable that Sima Ju's decision was not wrong, but the problem is that his approach to occupying Yan and Xu prefectures aroused a strong counterattack from local forces. Cao Cao's close friend, Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin and his brother Bao Tao immediately recruited brave men in the territory and resisted Sima Ju. At the same time, Taishan County, bordering Jibei Kingdom, realized the principle of "the lips were dead and the teeth were cold", which led to the only overlord in Taishan County at that time, Taishan Corps.

Under Bao Xin's Jibei army and Taishanku of Taishan County, Sima was defeated, and the entire Qingzhou Yellow Turban was struck in two sections: some fled to Lu State and surrendered to the general Bai Rao; the other part went to Beihai and joined forces with the Beihai Yellow Turban.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans are still strong, they are already out of reach for Zhang Huang's Jizhou Yellow Turbans and can no longer provide any help.

This sudden change made Zhang Huang, who was later defeated, feel incredible. After all, Sima Ju, Xu He, Bai Rao, and the entire Qingzhou Yellow Turban are the most capable. If you lose to Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, why are you defeated in front of Bao Xin?

Later, Zhang Huang learned that among the local tyrants recruited by Bao Xin, there was a guy named Yu Jin...

Another more important thing is the joining of Taishan Kou, and its new coach is called Zang Ba! The former member of the Black Feather Crow!

Well, it can be said that it was the Taishan gang of the Black Feather Crow's son. In an unknown situation, in order to dominate Xuzhou, which was not invaded by the Yellow Turban Army, he assisted the Jinbei prime minister Bao Xin to defeat the Yellow Turban forces of the Black Feather Crow leader Zhang Huang, who was located at that time. The Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, and the flood rushed down the Dragon King Temple.

When the matter was finally found out, Zhang Huang, who was shown to others by his pseudonym Zhang Sheng, was amused and crying, and could only regret it helplessly: This is called God's will!

Back to the topic, Zhang Huang's thoughts were still on the opposite side of the Northern Army in Pingxiang County.

Lu Zhi's "steadiness" made Zhang Huang feel terrifying. Pingxiang County was only about thirty miles away from Guangzong County. However, although Lu Zhi spent more than ten days to clear out all the trees blocking the view in the desert to prevent Zhang Huang from sneak attacking. At the same time, he surveyed the nearby water sources and gradually dug trenches. It can be said that from Guangzong City, he looked at all the trenches. Almost all the trenches dug by the Northern Army these days.

There is no doubt that Lu Zhi planned to trap "Zhang Baiqi" ​​in Guangzong to kill him, so as not to escape to Qinghe Country, a difficult opponent "Zhang Baiqi".

However, on the contrary, it can be seen that this is also Lu Zhi's fear of the two battalions in Guangzong City and outside the city, a total of 150,000 Jizhou Yellow Turbans. After all, about 25,000 Northern Army fought against 150,000 Jizhou Yellow Turbans. Although the former had an absolute advantage in the strength of the soldiers, the number of people was too far apart.

But the most important thing is that Zhang Huang is very clever in not putting the 150,000 troops in the city, but adding two military camps outside the city, forming a junction with Guangzong County. This layout of advancing and retreating really made Lu Zhi a little confused. He didn't know that it was just the momentum created by Zhang Huang. If you really think about it, the so-called 150,000 troops were just about 30,000 veterans and 120,000 trained new recruits, and had no combat power at all.

Of course, not being able to achieve combat effectiveness for the time being does not mean that it will be the same in the future. While Lu Zhi was "treating it steadily", Zhang Huang's generals and schoolmen trained recruits almost day and night. Although there was no results in a short period of time, at least the progress of those recruits can be seen every day.

No wonder those generals were so anxious. After all, Lu Zhi and the Northern Army under his command were now like a sharp sword hanging above the head of the Yellow Turban of Jizhou. Maybe they would be killed at any time, and they would not be able to slack off at any time.

After a day and a day, as Lu Zhi expected, the reserves of rice and grain in Guangzong City became less and less. Even though the Yellow Turbans of Jizhou hoarded a lot of rice and grain here before the war, they could not withstand the consumption of 150,000 people.

Seeing that the rice and grain in the city were getting less and less, it has to be said that the generals of the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou were a little impatient and uneasy, because they could imagine what the situation would be like once the food in the city was exhausted.

"Fight!"

"Go to fight, little Tianshi!"

"Little Heavenly Master..."

More and more generals asked Zhang Huang for instructions to fight, because in their opinion, if they continued to be trapped like this, they would only end up with the end of the city being broken and the city being destroyed and the Northern Army being wiped out.

However, all these requests were suppressed by Zhang Huang.

He was waiting, waiting for the only opportunity to have a chance to take the initiative...

After many days, just when the Yellow Turban Generals in the city were a little panicked, Zhang Huang finally heard the news that he was still waiting from Xizuo who came from Pingxiang in the middle of the night: The Emperor of Han sent Zuo Feng of Huangmen as an envoy to reward the Northern Army!

Upon hearing this, Zhang Huang felt a sense of joy of guarding the clouds and seeing the moon brightly emerged from the bottom of his heart.

[Finally come...]

Zhang Huang was secretly happy that the arrival of Huangmen Zuo Feng means that Lu Zhi, a difficult and difficult opponent, can temporarily get out of the Northern Army. Lu Zhi's successor is precisely the current Hedong Prefect, Dong Zhuo, who had met several times and had a great impression of the first meeting.

On the same day, on the day and night when Huangmen Zuofeng arrived in Pingxiang, Zhang Huang's detailed works who had deliberately stayed in Pingxiang rumored a rumor that after Lu Zhi, the Northern Army led by Lu Zhi, seized a large amount of jewelry and property after conquering many cities and counties of the Yellow Turban Army...

[Military rations are still short, how can I have enough money to flatter the angel?]

No matter what the little Huangmen Zuo Feng said when he saw Lu Zhi, he only knew that Lu Zhi, the honest and upright scholar, said this when facing Huangmen Zuo Feng's request for a bribe.

Zuo Feng of the little yellow sect was in his heart. Sure enough, when he returned to Luoyang, he showed the emperor Liu Hong and kept slandering Lu Zhi's bad words: "The thieves of Guangzong are easy to break. Lu Zhonglang is in a position to restore the army to wait for the heaven to punish him!" The implication is that Lu Zhi neglects the military and waits for God to kill the thieves of Guangzong.

Sure enough, the emperor was furious and issued an edict to remove Lu Zhi from his post and sentence him to a reduction of death penalty (lifelong imprisonment), and appointed Dong Zhuo as the General of the Eastern Central Army to perform all military affairs in Jizhou on behalf of Lu Zhi.

In June, when the Yellow Turban Army generals gradually began to stir up in Guangzong City, they suddenly discovered that the "Lu"-shaped flag on Pingxiang City was replaced by the "Dong"-shaped flag.

[Change coach at the last stage?]

Zhang Yan and Guo Tai, who felt inexplicable, looked at Zhang Huang who was laughing thoughtfully.
