The Liaodong Iron Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 42
At the court meeting in Luoyang, Kyoto, a minister made an outstanding statement: "Your Majesty, Zhu Jun has won many battles on the front line, wasting money and food, and many soldiers were killed or injured. First, Changshe was defeated and besieged, but now the thieves in Wancheng are late. It is too late to calm down, I implore Your Majesty to call Zhu Jun back to Beijing, and send good generals to calm him down!"

"Zhu Jun has been invincible in many battles, what should my father think of me?" Lingdi was unhappy when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Zhang Rang beside him.

"Your Majesty, General Zhu Lang has repeatedly won victories and greatly defeated our Han army. Your Majesty should send someone else to go." Zhang Rang looked at the person who advised him and smiled, then bowed and said to Emperor Ling.

Zhu Jun was born as a warrior from a humble family, and his status was low. Naturally, some people from noble families and wealthy families in the court would inevitably take the opportunity to suppress him, including Zhang Rang.

"Let my father agree with me, then..." Emperor Ling was about to remove Zhu Jun when he was interrupted by someone

"Wait a minute, Your Majesty!" One person came out to dissuade him, Lingdi followed his reputation and saw a kneeling person at the bottom of the steps, it was Sikong and Zhang Wen.

"What does Zhang Aiqing mean?" Liu Hong glared at Zhang Wen, and his words seemed to reprimand him.

"Your Majesty, the Yellow Turban rebellion, Zhu Gongwei has made great achievements in fighting and defeating the thieves. He is really the talent of our great man. In the past, Qin Yongbai rose up, Yan Ren Leyi, and it took a long time to defeat the enemy. The former Zhu Jun underestimated the enemy and was trapped in Changshe , and then offered a plan to burn the Yellow Turban, and it was broken. Now lead the troops to the south, and your Majesty must not change commanders just before the battle. This is something that military strategists avoid, and I beg your majesty to think twice." Zhang Wen knelt down and kowtowed.

Lingdi was taken aback by some generous speeches. Zhang Wen was quite prestigious in the court and his reputation was extremely high. Since he pleaded for Zhu Jun, he couldn't veto it face to face, so he turned his head and looked at Zhang Rang.Zhang Wen's status was extraordinary, and he could not blatantly oppose Zhang Wenji at this moment, so he nodded slightly.

"Since that's the case, send an edict to pacify the Yellow Turban in Wancheng within one month, otherwise I will be severely punished!"

"Retire." A male duck's voice shouted, making all the ministers extremely uncomfortable.

A few days later, the edict arrived at the Han army camp outside Wancheng.Emperor Zhu Junling ordered him to defeat the enemy in January. He was very worried and called all the generals to discuss the matter.

"Everyone, Your Majesty has issued an order to limit our army to destroy Wancheng within one month. I wonder if you have a good strategy?" Zhu Jun looked around at the crowd and said.

"General, the thieves are with me several times now, and they are defending against the dangerous city. Our army has no backup. It is difficult to capture the city in a hurry. We can only break it when the thieves run out of food. If you don't write another letter, I implore your majesty to give me more money." One month!" Nanyang prefect Qin Jie said.

"Alas, His Majesty's holy will has been decided, so writing a letter to ask for it is bound to be fruitless." Zhu Jun sighed.

"What Qin Taishou said is the way to win, but the emperor ordered that the general should fight quickly. In my opinion, there is no better way to lead the army back and lure the bandits out of the city. Our army will fall and we will win." Sun Jian said afterwards.

"This is not a good strategy. Our army has lured each other many times, but the bandits have not come out. What can we do?"

Can't attack, can't be seduced, no one will say anything after the two offer advice, is it true that they really want to follow Lu Ziqian's siege?After thinking about it, there was no way Zhu Jun sighed again!
"General, can you attack your heart?" Suddenly, a strong man behind Qin Taishou stepped forward and said.

"Han Sheng, don't talk nonsense." Qin Jie hurriedly stopped him.

"Gongxin? Who are you?" Zhu Jun asked, looking at the people who came out.

"Huang Zhong, Huang Hansheng, a grasslander from Nanyang. The strategy of attacking the heart is what I learned when I was discussing the art of war with Huo Huben. The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed by an ant nest. I think that the interior of the Yellow Turban is not unified, but it can be divided. This is the strategy of attacking the heart." Huang Huang Zhong ignored Qin Jie and continued.

"A good strategy!" Zhu Jun's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "The bandits and others are wholeheartedly refusing to fight against the city. They regard Wancheng as their foundation, and the various ministries are not united. If they separate from each other, they will surely break down." Then he questioned: " Han Sheng, why don't you have a military position?"

"Caomin was the school captain of Nanyang Chengmen in his early years. He resigned to treat his son's illness. He was cured when he met Huo Huben's prescription. When the Yellow Turban Rebellion started, he wanted to serve Chen Guo, but the road was not smooth and he couldn't make it. Qin Taishou invites you to kill the thief." Huang Zhong finished the matter in one breath, and everyone suddenly realized.

"Hahaha, no wonder, no wonder, my nephew, a genius among the heavens, a genius among the heavens, this method is very good, very good!" The problem was solved, Zhu Jun was in a good mood, and he didn't care about so much when he spoke.

After all, Zhu Jun stood up with a red face, ordered the three armies to surround Wancheng, and then began to implement the plan of alienation.After the arrangements are in order, the ministries will act according to the order.

In Wancheng, Han Zhong's prestige has risen sharply since he repelled the official army, but it looks calm on the surface, but in fact, there is a cold current surging in the dark.In fact, many young commanders were not convinced by Han Zhong, especially those young commanders whose soldiers and horses were locked up outside the city, but Han Zhong's soldiers had no choice but to follow.Since that day, these people have been mingling together all day, discussing how to deal with Han Zhong.

In the past few days, the officers and soldiers have been shooting arrows with letters into Wancheng. Confiscated, but the Han army shot in irregularly every day, and it was still unable to clear the roots.So Han Zhong ordered his subordinates to inspect, and if anyone found that this letter was circulated, they would be punished on the spot.This time, he had stabbed a hornet's nest, and Han Zhong's move undoubtedly indirectly admitted that Zhao Hong was intentionally killed.

Although Zhao Hong's reputation in the Yellow Turban Army is not as good as that of Zhang Mancheng, it is much higher than that of Han Zhong.So the young commanders who were loyal to Zhao Hong began to join forces to discuss how to get rid of Han Zhong.

"This Han Zhong is really a wolf-hearted thing. Qu Shuai treated him well in front of him, and he actually refused to save him."

"Damn, I have long disliked him. If he hadn't had many soldiers and generals, who would obey him?"

"That's right, that's right, we got together to discuss a way to get rid of him"

"Yes, we must get rid of him."

Suddenly a Yellow Turban infantry rushed to report, "It's not good, Han Zhong brought people here."

"What? How would he know?"

"Someone among us got wind of it?"

"Fart, all the people present are Qu Shuai's people. Now Wancheng is full of Han Zhong's eyeliner, so it's not surprising that he found it."

"Mother, fight hard, anyway, you will die anyway."

"Yes, let's fight. At worst, I will open the west gate and lead the officers and soldiers into the city."

"Well, since we can't beat him, then we should lead the officers and soldiers into the city, and even if we die, he won't have a better time."

"Let's do this. You two happen to be guarding the west gate today. Hurry up and open the gate. The rest of you will gather your troops and fight Han Zhong to avenge Qu Shuai."

"Revenge for Qu Shuai!"

At Sun Jian's camp outside the west gate of Wancheng, Sun Jian had just finished his meal at this moment, when the soldiers suddenly came to report: "General, there are sudden shouts of killing in Wancheng, it seems that there is a riot in the city."

"What, riots? The scheming has worked. Hahahaha, let's gather people and rush to the west gate immediately, ready to attack the city at any time." Sun Jian was very excited at the moment. He didn't expect Xiaoxiao's scheming to be so powerful. A military division.

When Sun Jian gathered his men and horses, another scout came to report, and the west gate of Wancheng was opened wide.Sun Jian didn't care about other things when he heard the words, and immediately ordered someone to report to Zhu Jun, and then rushed into Wancheng with the soldiers who had not yet assembled.
