Bronze door through time and space

Chapter 607: Fire
Although Liu, Guan and Zhang stayed in front of the tent to obey orders, Zhang Jiao not only gathered 50,000 soldiers, but also used magic to make Lu Zhi dare not act rashly, because the slightest mistake could lead to defeat in the battle.

During this period of caution, Lu Zhi decided to first restrict Zhang Jue here, then cut off his right-hand man, and finally take him down in one fell swoop with superior forces. Therefore, he asked Liu Bei to lead his troops to Yingchuan to first meet up with Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun.

Liu Bei was only afraid that he would not have the opportunity to make any merit, so he did not care who his opponent was. So he gladly accepted the order and led his army to Yingchuan overnight.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were both talented generals who were both good at literature and martial arts. Together, they defeated the 100,000 Yellow Turban Army led by Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao, forcing them to retreat into Changsha.

Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao were not useless, although they had more troops. But the situation of the Yellow Turban Army had been discussed before. Even if they tried their best to gather elite troops, less than half of them were capable of fighting, and they still lacked training and weapons. Under such circumstances, it was already remarkable that the Yellow Turban Army was defeated but not collapsed.

At this time, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun saw that Changsha was covered with dry grass and the enemy had set up camp on the grass, so they decided to attack with fire. However, due to the presence of the Zhang brothers, the plan was never implemented.

As Zhang Jue's brothers, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao not only have Yellow Turban warriors as guards, but are also proficient in several magic spells. Although they have not reached the level of immortals, they are not something that mortal soldiers can resist. This is the key reason why Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun won consecutively but were never able to wipe out the enemy completely.

In addition, they can set fires, and so can the Zhang brothers.

Farmers also know that they need to isolate the flames when using slash-and-burn farming, let alone these two brothers, so they are just threatening each other. After all, if they are really trapped in a sea of ​​fire, even the best soldiers will be useless.

Originally, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun took a risk, and with the help of heaven, they eventually burned down the camps and defeated the Yellow Turban Army. In addition, Cao Cao, who had the mandate of heaven in his hands, intervened and almost took the lives of the two brothers.

But right now, the Heavenly Consciousness was busy giving birth to the underworld, so it had no time to care about these little things. Zhang Jiao's defeat was a foregone conclusion anyway, so there was no need to do anything more. Therefore, although the plan of fire attack was decided, it had not been implemented.

Upon learning that Liu, Guan and Zhang were coming with three thousand soldiers, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were immediately cheered up and decided to take a risk. However, before that, they had to take a look at Brother Zigan's disciple first.

“You can order each soldier to carry a bundle of grass and lie in ambush secretly. When a strong wind blows at night, they can all set fire. Then the three armies can march out together and suppress the bandits in the chaos. If you can kill the bandit leader, you can report to the court and get a reward.” Huangfu Song said to Liu Bei in an almost negotiating tone, obviously regarding him as one of their own.

Although Huangfu Song was an upright person, he was not inflexible. Otherwise, he would have gone to Liangshan and would not have been able to become such a high-ranking official.

It is because he knows how to adapt that he understands the importance and danger of the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang.

There is no way. Thanks to Yan Xu's funding, the three brothers of Taoyuan are no longer the unknown people in the original novel. Even if they do not have any official positions, the three thousand soldiers are their greatest confidence. Even Huangfu Song has to give him some face.

Liu Bei was shocked when he heard this, but he remained calm on the surface. He stepped forward and saluted as a junior. Then he said respectfully that his mentor Lu Zhi had asked him to come and obey orders, so he would obey the military orders and would not dare to be negligent in the slightest.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun looked at each other, nodded secretly, and then they started talking again. The atmosphere was much more relaxed, and they began to treat Liu Bei as a junior in their words.

Although he acted like an elder, Liu Bei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Mr. Yan had predicted it right.

In the original novel, Liu Bei's subordinates, apart from his two sworn brothers, are all militiamen and farmers.

Because they had no family support and no support from the court, they had to do all they could just to maintain the troops, so they had no time to take care of anything else. As a result, not only were there few people, but their weapons and armor were not complete, and even their clothes were not uniform. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were beggars who came to get some military merit. How could people take them seriously in this situation?

But now these 3,000 soldiers are obviously elite troops. Not only are they fully equipped with weapons and armor, but their morale is also high. How can they be ignored?

It’s not a big deal at this time as the Yellow Turbans have not been destroyed, but if they are destroyed, he will become a new threat.

In this situation, Huangfu Song couldn't help but think about it.

Fortunately, because of the relationship with Lu Zhi, and Liu Bei said that he was able to raise this army with the help of his sworn brother Zhang Fei and the Yan family of Langya, and that he had no intention of being arrogant because of his military power, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun decided to let him go, otherwise it would be too easy to destroy him.

A military order to send him to death, if he didn't accept it, he would be a rebel, if he accepted it, he would be sending him to death. Even if they were not so rude and straightforward, the two experienced officials had countless ways to kill him.

Fortunately, Yan Xu had taken this problem into consideration at the beginning of the army expansion. Therefore, in addition to letting Liu Bei cling to Lu Zhi's thigh tightly, he also had to regard himself as a junior in front of these two.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were also introduced in advance. Firstly, Lu Zhi was indeed the eldest brother's mentor, and secondly, these two had good reputations, so they passed the test smoothly.

Once a consensus was reached, an opportunity was quickly found to ignite the fire.

The fire was raging everywhere, and the bandits were so panicked that their horses could not get saddles and their men could not get armor, so they fled in all directions.

But before Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun could lead their troops to attack the bandit camp, a drum sounded. As two large flags of General Di Gong and General Ren Gong were held up by burly Yellow Turban strongmen and came over, the originally panicked Yellow Turban Army calmed down one after another. They were about to gather into a force, and Huangfu Song knew that they could not wait any longer. With a command, Liu Bei, with his two sworn brothers and three thousand soldiers, rushed straight into the enemy camp.

Only then did Huangfu Song nod, which was considered as his approval of Liu Bei.

If Liu Bei didn't dare to charge after he gave the order just now, or wanted to preserve his strength, then don't blame him for not giving face to Brother Zigan.

This child cannot be kept!

Only after being recognized did Liu Bei join the small circle of Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun. From then on, his promotion to the court was a foregone conclusion. Even if he failed this time, he would be given opportunities in the future. The only difference was sooner or later.

Sometimes joining a circle is as simple as that. One's own strength and ability are one thing, but gaining recognition from the circle is the most important thing.

Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao fought against Guan and Zhang with a spell in one hand and a weapon in the other, but they were no match for Guan and Zhang who had transformed again, and were beaten back one after another. If it weren't for the Yellow Turban warriors who blocked their retreat, I'm afraid they would be dead.

More than 100,000 people fought until dawn, and Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao led the defeated troops to escape.

Suddenly, a group of soldiers and horses, all waving red flags, blocked their way. Leading them was a general who was seven feet tall, with narrow eyes and a long beard. He was Cao Cao, who had been appointed as the Cavalry Commander during the Yellow Turban Rebellion. This time, he led five thousand cavalry and infantry to Yingchuan to help in the battle.

Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao were defeated by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and were very angry. When they saw Cao Cao blocking their way, they became furious and attacked him with three hundred Yellow Turban warriors.

At that time, Cao Cao did not have those famous ministers and generals under his command, and even his own family and the brothers of the Xiahou family had not come to serve under him. With his own little martial arts value, he could not defeat the epic enhanced versions of General Di Gong and General Ren Gong.

General Zhang Bao drove a strong wind, which blew up sand and gravel mixed with unburned grass and trees, making Cao Cao's army in a terrible state.

General Zhang Liang chanted an incantation and became extremely powerful and invulnerable to swords and spears. He rushed into the battle array with his Yellow Turban warriors and killed Cao Cao, forcing him to flee in panic.

Fortunately, Guan and Zhang had been looking for the two men in the chaotic army. They came over after hearing the noise and scared the two Zhangs so much that they fled in a panic.

There was another long fight, and in the end more than 10,000 heads were beheaded, and a large number of flags, drums, and horses were seized. It can be said that Liu Bei and his three brothers won this battle.

The only one who should have made a brilliant appearance was Cao Cao, but he ended up in disgrace. It was because he met the epic enhanced version of Card 2, and he had no reliable generals under his command.

Therefore, Cao Cao's eyes were shining when he looked at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, especially Guan Yu, who had an extraordinary appearance and was able to defeat a thousand men. He almost drooled.

Unfortunately, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun wanted to pursue the victory and had to block the two Zhangs in Guangzong to prevent them from continuing to flee and to prevent the Yellow Turban bandits from reviving. Therefore, after a quick meeting with them, Cao Cao reorganized his troops and left with the army.
