Chapter 109
The tunnel dug with so much painstaking efforts did not play any role at all, which was a serious blow to morale.

Of course, these rebel leaders will not be reconciled, but if they really want to send troops to attack, they don't have much confidence seeing Chang'an's tall and majestic.

At this time, the role of a backbone came into play. The chiefs and leaders of the various ministries looked at Li Wenhou and Beigong Boyu.

Li Wenhou, Beigong Boyu, the two of them looked at Li Yao again, Beigong Boyu was very angry but also very puzzled:

"Ayao, this was your idea, why did he, Lu Zhi, know the exit of the tunnel we dug?"

It's not just Beigong Boyu who is puzzled, other people also have this doubt.

Li Yao's expression was calm when he heard the words. Facing the eyes of everyone looking over, he pointed to the top of the wall and said:
"The advantage we have in Liangzhou is that there are many cavalry, and they are not afraid of death. Therefore, if it is a direct confrontation, there are Father, Father Zhong, and the chiefs and leaders. Lu Zhi can definitely kill him..."

Don't talk about the problem, the opening is just a compliment, everyone in the room held their heads high, that's right, if it was a head-on confrontation, they would definitely be able to easily eliminate Lu Zhi.

At this time, Li Yao started to talk about the problem. He pointed to the top of the wall, pointed to Lu Zhi and said:

"However, the advantage of the interior is that the city walls are tall and strong. The method of digging tunnels and mounding mountains has long been used, and has even been cracked. It has been recorded in books and gradually spread..."

"This Lu Zhi must have read the book, so he will know how to crack it!"

After Li Yao's rhetoric, he succeeded in transferring the resentment of the people present that they would not be able to break through the city, and the elites were stabbed to death and drowned, from himself to Lu Zhi.

These rebel leaders were swearing, mixed with Chinese and Qiang swear words, and greeted Lu Zhi and his family.

Beigong Boyu said angrily:

"Hearing how proud Lu Zhi is laughing, he must still be mocking us now. Is he great because he has read books? A Yao has also read books. A Yao, how does this Lu Zhi know where the exit of the tunnel we dug is?"

Li Yao glanced at the surrounding people, and looked over again at this time, pondered for a while, and explained:
"The method is also very simple. Just like in our Liangzhou, an experienced old man can hear the sound of horseshoes ten miles away..."

"We are digging tunnels underground, but as long as someone lies on the ground, they can still hear subtle movements, or if they find some large tanks, they can hear them more clearly. Even after filling the water, they can still see the fluctuations of the water surface..."

"This Lu Zhi has read a lot of poetry and books, so he is really difficult to deal with!"

After Li Yao explained this, everyone present understood, but their faces were still ugly. The more they hoped, the more disappointed they were. How happy they were before, how angry they were now.

Li Wenhou stood up. After looking around, he said in a majestic voice:
"It was just a failed siege. Now the follow-up personnel have arrived. We have more than [-] people. We are besieging the city on three sides and attacking in turn. We still can't take down a Chang'an. Let's withdraw our troops and return to the camp today!"

At this time, no one challenged Li Wenhou's majesty, so the army withdrew one after another.

And after this incident, Li Yao once again made a small splash. Although he hadn't read too many books, there was an educated person among a group of reckless men from Liangzhou, which made his right to speak rise a little again.

Don't underestimate this small piece, maybe it will be of great use in the future!
The rebel army here is still persistent in attacking Chang'an, while the imperial court has raised enough ransom over there, the emperor paid some, the eunuchs paid some, and the foreign ministers paid some.

Still let Cui Lie take charge of this matter to redeem Zhang Wen and Yuan Pang. After all, this is a national disgrace. If it cannot be washed away with blood, then they can only be redeemed.

Liu Hong also drew a thousand-man army from the army guarding Luoyang to escort the ransom.

He also has his own ideas. If Zhang Wen and Yuan Pang can be redeemed from the rebels, it means that the rebels can communicate, and at worst, they will pay for the rebels to retreat.

As long as there is no worry in Chang'an, as long as there is no worry in the emperor's mausoleum, the impact of this incident can be minimized.

Otherwise, Chang'an would be destroyed, or even the emperor's mausoleum would be dug up. Even Liu Hong, as the emperor, would still have to pay the price.

Of course, a scapegoat is needed. Liu Hong thinks that Lu Zhi is very good, so he is really smart, but he is useless in the right way.

The key to all this is that the main force of the imperial court is at war with the Yellow Turban bandits, and now the battle situation has changed.

Since Zhang Jiao died of illness, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang continued to lead the Yellow Turban Army. Although the great virtuous teacher Zhang Jiao died of illness and Guangzong, the rest of them were united.

They gave up their previous defensive strategy and began to take the initiative to attack. With the trend of mourning soldiers, they were united as one. In less than a month, they fought against the government army and won seven battles and seven victories.

Huangfusong and Dong Zhuo, the two of them joined forces, including 8 or [-] people in support, and in less than a month, they suffered tens of thousands of casualties, fled for more than a hundred miles, and discarded countless luggage along the way.

A temporary military camp!

Huangfusong looked up at the map with his hands behind his back. Suddenly Dong Zhuo came over aggressively. He looked at Huangfusong's back with dissatisfaction in his voice:

"Huangfu Zhonglang, what on earth do you want to do? Hold on to the elite of the army. Now our army has fled for more than a hundred miles, with heavy casualties and a lack of supplies. If this continues, morale will be ruined!"

Hearing this, Huangfusong turned around, showing a slightly tired but still resolute face, his eyes were very indifferent, and he didn't care the slightest bit about what Dong Zhuo said.

He seemed to be saying to himself:

"The yellow turban bandits have pursued for more than a hundred miles, killed and wounded more than ten thousand of our army, and seized countless supplies of our army. It's time to be proud and complacent and relax your vigilance..."

"Come here, gather the elite of the army, cook at three o'clock tonight, and set off at five o'clock, with a man's head and a horse's hoof bound, rush for more than [-] miles to attack the Yellow Turban camp!"

Dong Zhuo's face was full of astonishment.

This battle was a complete victory, and the government army launched an attack at dawn. Not only the hero general Zhang Liang was killed, but also the core congregation suffered heavy losses.

What Zhang Jiao left behind were all the strong yellow scarf fighters, and they were completely lost in this battle.

The officers and soldiers drove away the Yellow Turbans, just like driving cattle and sheep, and took advantage of the situation to kill Guangzong City. Within a day, the whole city became a dead city, and Zhang Jiao was also opened and slaughtered.

Zhang Bao led some people to escape, gathered the scattered troops along the way, gathered more than [-] people again, and began to move towards Xiaquyang.

As for other women, children, old and weak, in order to achieve efficient killing, the cavalry unit composed of Han cavalry, Hun cavalry, Wuhuan cavalry... was driven down the river like livestock, and under the turbulent waves, it seemed that they had never been in this world at all.

At the end of this battle, the main force of the Yellow Turbans in Hebei was lost, only Zhang Bao was left with some old and weak women and children, still lingering, and Huang Fusong led the troops to chase after him again.

 I also really want to go back to farm as soon as possible, but only by understanding this matter in Guanzhong can I maintain an independent state to develop and train troops to farm. If some readers feel that it is watery, then I will try to write as soon as possible
  And today was a delay, I was arranged to go on a blind date
  This is force majeure...
