Chapter 3 Storms and Clouds Section 27 (Part 2)

Yan Rou led his troops to the vicinity of Fanyang.

Late at night, Yellow Turban soldiers surrounded both sides of the convoy, and tens of thousands of torches were burning in the night, and the fire illuminated half of the sky.

They looked at the Yellow Turban Army's food and supplies convoy in front of them, and were at a loss.

They received news from the scout that the Yellow Turban Army suddenly turned around and returned to Fanyang after thirty miles away from Fanyang and stopped rushing to Yishui River.

Yan Rouhe's subordinates were confused and didn't know what happened. The Yellow Turban Army stopped retreating, why? Something happened in the battlefield in Jizhou?

"Is there any news about the lieutenant?" Yan Rou asked.

No one answered. It has been five days since Li Hong received the news. The last message he had only had two words: "Tail." Following rather than chasing, which made Yan Rou and his others uncomfortable.

"Sir, you won't take down Beixin City without hiding it, close the door and beat dogs." Yan Wuwei said suddenly.

Yan Rou, beard and fists looked at each other and shook her head.

"We have to cross two rivers to go to Beixincheng. Unless all the scouts of the Yellow Turban Army are killed, everyone can see them." Bearded man touched his beard and said, "Where did the sir?"

"The Yellow Turban Army retreated into Fanyang City overnight, and the number of Yellow Turban Army in Fanyang City has increased to 30,000. We can't surround us and can't fight. Why are we still here?" Fist said dejectedly, "Forget it, don't want to, go back to sleep."

Yan Rou laughed, stretched out her thumbs up at her fist, and said loudly: "Hao."

"Let's go, let's go back to sleep."

The next morning, all the Yellow Turbans retreated into Fanyang City.

At noon the next day, Yan Rou received a document from Li Hong, telling him that the main cavalry forces successfully ambushed 15,000 Chu Feiyan's troops in Fan Xingting, and then attacked Beixincheng, completely cutting off the enemy's retreat. He asked Yan Rou's troops to boldly surround Fan Yang. At the same time, he sent the document to Zhuocheng and Jicheng, and asked the prefect Wang Ru and the governor Yang Huang to do everything possible to raise troops to Fan Yang to participate in the battle to encircle and annihilate Fan Yang's Yellow Turban Army.

On the third day of capturing Beixin City, Li Hong ordered Xianyu Yin's troops to station in Beixin City, and he brought about 4,000 cavalry including Jade Division and Black Panther Yicong to cross the Yishui River, rushed to Fanyang City, and met with Yan Rou's troops. The seven thousand army surrounded Fan Yang. The Yellow Turban Army had no intention of breaking through, but just sent heavy troops to defend the city.

At dusk, Li Hong stood in the empty field, looking at the majestic and majestic Fanyang City Tower, and watching the yellow apricot yellow flags of the Yellow Turban Army flying on the city tower, he felt much more relaxed.

Zhuo County, Zhuo County, I finally took it back.

Suddenly, he thought of Zhang Chun. What Zhang Chun said by the Holy Water River that night was deeply imprinted in his mind. These people are desperate people. I killed one group after another. I did it right? Who am I? Why don’t I know if I did it right?

Li Hong was in pain. The lost memories could not be found, which made him seem to have lost the ability to distinguish right from wrong. He didn't know what he should do in this vast world? What should he do? What is right? What is wrong?

Li Hong stood in the bleak cold wind, letting his long hair float, and he was so crazy about it for a moment.

Tian Chong and many subordinates stood in the distance, looking at Li Hong's increasingly thin body, and his heart was filled with admiration for him.

He led ten thousand cavalry alone, and in just over a month, he turned the tide and wiped out tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Army. How many people can there be in the world with this courage, courage, wisdom and courage? Since he met this kid, he has been killing, killing, living with war horses and swords every day, and never stopping. This idiot kid may have been born for war.

The sky gradually became darker.

Yan Liang took out a cowhide from his bag and was about to send it to Li Hong. Tian Chong took it from his hand and walked towards Li Hong with great strides.

"Social..."

Li Hong suddenly woke up.

Tian Chong put on a somewhat worn mattress on him and said with a smile: "When will I get you a fur cloak, winter is here."

Li Hong sighed and said, "Old man, give it to the wounded soldiers, they need it even more. We are too poor."

"You can't eat well, wear well, and sleep well every day, and your body will not be able to withstand it."

Li Hong smiled softly, "I eat the same things and wear the same clothes as the soldiers. Why can't I stand it?"

"You and them all go back, I have to think about some more things."

Tian Chong looked at him silently and turned around and wanted to leave.

"Old man..."

Tian Chong turned around and looked at him, waiting for him to speak. Li Hong hesitated for a moment and asked, "We have killed so many Yellow Turban soldiers, right?"

Tian Chong smiled bitterly and whispered: "For them, starving to death is death, and death to fight is death. Anyway, they are death, so it doesn't matter how they die." After that, he turned around and strode away.

Li Hong looked at his back and suddenly remembered the Yellow Turban veteran who was trampled to death on the battlefield of Jiuliting. His heart twitched unconsciously, violently and painfully.

"Zi Shan..." Li Hong shouted loudly.

Yan Liang flew over.

"Ask Lord Yan to rush to Zhuocheng immediately and bring Sima Huangting from the Yellow Turban Army to Fan Yang."

"Then you..." Yan Liang asked hesitantly.

"Zilong is here, it's okay. Go quickly."

In the night, Zhao Yun stood with two war horses, one black and one white, and stood with his gun.

A few days later, Zhang Chun, the prime minister of Zhongshan, and Gongcao, the governor's office, rushed to Fanyang City with three thousand troops.

The two had the same purpose and asked Li Hong to send troops to Zhongshan Kingdom immediately.

The situation of the official army in the battlefield in Jizhou is very bad. The second document sent by Jizhou Governor Guo Dian to Youzhou was to tell Youzhou that his troops failed to attack the Nine Gates, and he hoped that he would defeat Zhang Niujiao as soon as possible and send troops to Zhongshan Kingdom.

Li Hong of course agreed. But if Fan Yang's enemy didn't solve it, it would be useless to say anything. Moreover, 180,000 Yellow Turban Army members were destroyed in the battlefield of Zhuo County. If Zhang Niujiao had great skills, he was very difficult to send troops to deploy troops now. The news sent by Jizhou was half a month ago. Who knows how Jizhou is now? Perhaps because of Zhang Niujiao's crushing defeat in Youzhou, the Yellow Turban soldiers on the battlefield of Jizhou were panic and might have been defeated one after another.

A few days later, Xianyuyin sent someone to deliver the news.

Zhang Niujiao and Chu Feiyan both returned safely to Nulu City, the county seat of Zhongshan Kingdom.

The Yellow Turban Army was in chaos before the two returned. After Guo Dian's troops failed in the first battle, they immediately ambushed the Yellow Turban Army Wang Dang's troops near Yuanshi City. Now Guo Dian's troops are in Luancheng. However, Wang Dang is attacking another little coach of the Yellow Turban Army, Wulu, and they are fighting themselves. Bai Luo, the Yellow Turban Army, who is defending Xiangguo, suddenly gave up Xiangguo and fled into Taihang Mountains. Feng Yi picked up a big advantage in vain, and his troops are now preparing to attack Handan.

Now the Yellow Turban Army on the battlefield in Jizhou is unable to launch a counterattack because of insufficient troops. The official army has won the battle and the troops need rest and supplies, so there is no major attack for the time being.

Li Hong let out a long sigh. No matter what, the Jizhou army sent troops to attack the Yellow Turban Army was the key to victory in Youzhou battlefield. Now the Youzhou battlefield defeated Zhang Niujiao's 180,000 troops, which indirectly reduced the pressure on the Jizhou army. If the Jizhou battlefield could still be supported, Youzhou would not need to send troops at present.

The most important thing now is to solve the 30,000 Yellow Turban Army in Fanyang City. If they are solved, they can concentrate all their forces to attack Zhongshan Kingdom without any worries.

Li Hong is looking forward to snowing now. If there is a snowfall, it can win at least half a month.

Yan Rou hurried back, and at the same time he brought Wang Ru's reward to the soldiers.

Li Hong and Xian Yufu immediately received Huang Ting with the guest's gift.

Xian Yufu fully agreed with Li Hong's opinion. It is indeed the best way to persuade the Yellow Turban Army to surrender and solve the Fan Yang problem without bloodshed.

Huang Ting is Sima under Zhang Baiqi's tent, and the two have a deep personal relationship. Now the Yellow Turban Army in Fanyang City is Zhang Baiqi's final decision. To find a lobbyist, Huang Ting is the most suitable.

Huang Ting was a Confucian scholar and did not know martial arts. He was caught on the battlefield of Jiuliting because of his poor riding skills and he fell under the horse in a hurry. Huang Ting was in his thirties and looked ordinary, and the only distinctive thing was his beard. Because he was in the prisoner's camp, his beard was not trimmed, it was messy and ugly like a bird's nest.

There were more than 13,000 prisoners in the prison camp in Zhuocheng. Huang Ting’s official position was the largest, and he was responsible for daily management. When Xian Yufu escorted them back to Zhuocheng, he dealt with him every day and was very familiar with him. But this was the first time he saw Li Hong and was very scared.

Li Hong directly told him about the current situation of the battlefield in Zhuo County and the current situation of the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou. Huang Ting became more and more frightened as he heard it, and gradually sweated on his head.

"You probably know what I meant by calling you." Li Hong said with a smile, "You go to Fanyang City, tell Zhang Baiqi what is the current situation, and ask him if he surrenders? What conditions does he surrender?"

Huang Ting looked at him and asked timidly: "Can you make the decision?"

Xian Yufu said on the side: "Youzhou Governor Mr. Yang has already handed over the matter here to the lieutenant. Don't worry. The lieutenant said he promised to let you live and let you have enough food and clothing. Now look, aren't you and the prisoners living well in Zhuocheng?"

Huang Ting sighed a long sigh and said desperately: "What about the future? What should we do in the future?"

Li Hong smiled and said, "Do you want to know?"

Huang Ting immediately opened his eyes wide, and the look of hope on his face made Li Hong's heart tremble for no reason.

"There were precedents in the border garrison. The previous dynasty had precedents, and this dynasty would not make an exception and must kill you. Only this way can I guarantee that I can do this."

Huang Ting was silent for a long time, and his expression gradually calmed down.

He suddenly stood up, walked to Li Hong's desk and knelt down, and kowtowed three respectfully.

Li Hong hurriedly helped him up and comforted him with a smile: "Brother Xingzheng (Huang Ting's name), people always have to survive. No matter whether you rebel or surrender, you hope that you can survive and live a better life. You are not wrong with your thoughts like this, and Zhang Niujiao, the commander of the Yellow Turban Army, will not hope that you will die meaninglessly. If you surrender and survive, he will certainly agree."
