Three Kingdoms: Domination of the World
Chapter 69 Lu Zhi in Danger
Mid-April 184 AD.
In the first battle, Right General Zhu Jun was defeated by Bo Cai. He joined forces with Huangfu Song, who had retreated to Changsha on the left. The 5 Han troops stationed at Changsha were surrounded by Bo Cai's 20-man army. Huangfu Song was like a bird in a cage, in imminent danger.
Deyang Hall.
Emperor Ling of Han had a solemn expression on his face. He was not in a good mood about making a small fortune recently. If the Han army was defeated by the Yellow Turbans again, wouldn't the money he earned be used to make wedding clothes for others?
"My lords and nobles, General Huangfu is now surrounded. Do you have any good plans to repel the enemy?"
General He Jin slowly stepped forward and gave advice to Emperor Ling of Han.
"Your Majesty, General Cao Mengde is a man of extraordinary wisdom and courage. He can lead his own army to support General Huangfu!"
Emperor Ling of Han swept his majestic gaze over Cao Cao below the stage like an eagle, and then he asked.
"Valiant Cavalry General Cao Cao saved me from danger. He is truly a rare talent!"
"Meng De, you must immediately lead the ten thousand elite cavalry from Xiyuan to Changsha."
"Yes! I will not refuse even if it means death!"
"Is there any good news today?"
Upon hearing this, Taiwei Yang Ci stood up and replied.
"Your Majesty, General Zhenbei defeated General Ren Gong Zhang Liang in Dingxiang and captured over 7 men."
At this time, General He stood up with a look of disdain and argued.
"May I ask, Commander, where is that scoundrel Zhang Liang? Whether this story is true or not remains to be investigated!"
"Your Majesty, we don't know whether Zhang Liang is alive or dead!"
"Since Zhang Liang's whereabouts are unknown, this battle report is a bit exaggerated. Dingxiang County only has 1 troops. How could they defeat Zhang Liang's 8-man army?"
Yang Ci also felt that this victory report was a bit outrageous, so he did not continue to argue. Emperor Ling of Han said unhappily.
"Alright! Stop arguing. Commander, go and verify this matter truthfully."
"promise!"
After receiving the order, Yang Ci immediately began to investigate the matter. He sent his trusted confidants to Dingxiang to collect intelligence and verify the authenticity of the battle report.
A few days later, a trusted aide brought back conclusive evidence proving that the General Zhenbei had indeed defeated Zhang Liang and captured over 70,000 of his men. However, Zhang Liang's whereabouts remained a mystery.
At this time, the court was once again in turmoil. Some ministers believed that the General Zhenbei was deliberately concealing the truth to seek credit and reward, while others firmly believed in the general's loyalty and believed that there must be something hidden.
Amidst the controversy, Emperor Ling of Han decided to personally dispatch Zhang Rang to Mo Nan Commandery to investigate the situation. Suo Chao was displeased with Zhang Rang's arrival, but he couldn't express it directly.
Zhang Rang was extremely powerful, and Suo Chao could only endure it silently.
"Suo Boyi, meet Lord Rang!"
"Bo Yi! I've heard about your battle record. I wonder if it's true or not?"
"Rang Gong, this is absolutely true."
"I wonder where those Yellow Turban captives are?"
"Replying to Lord Rang, these Yellow Turban captives are ordinary poor people. They are not being held in a centralized detention center!"
"These 7 Yellow Turban captives were either sent back to their homelands or integrated into Mo Nan County."
"General Zhenbei, this is not going to be easy!"
Suo Chao had originally wanted to keep Zhang Liang and see how he could learn his "Great Wind" spell, but it seemed that was not going to work.
"Replying to Rang Gong, I have captured the traitor general Zhang Liang!"
"This is true!"
"Of course!"
"Oh my! General Zhenbei is very clever! This is a great achievement."
Recently, General He Jin was at the height of his power, and the influence of his relatives was spreading like wildfire, with signs of overpowering the eunuchs. Zhang Rang also wanted to make friends and find more capable assistants. Suo Chao, young and promising, naturally caught his eye, and it was a piece of cake to look after him.
"Mr. Rang, you are too kind! I will leave this thief to you!"
"Ok!"
Zhang Rang, proudly escorting the prisoner cart like a victorious fighting cock, escorted General Zhang Liang to the capital like a trophy. Suo Chao naturally didn't forget to send a gift. He knew he was still a fledgling, a fledgling waiting to be fed, and he couldn't easily offend Zhang Rang, the old fox.
Northland.
Murong Ke fought against Ran Min and Zheng Hewen's troops in Wuwei, but failed to win after a long battle.
"Ran Min! Do you dare to come out and fight? What's the point of hiding in a turtle shell?"
"Haha! If we had equal forces, why would I be afraid of you?"
"If you have the guts, come and attack!"
......
Yunzhong County. Taishi Ci and Gongsun Zan faced Murong Chui's 90,000-man army with difficulty. Fortunately, the battle in Dingxiang County was successful, and the surrounding counties were able to rush to Yunzhong's aid, so Murong Chui's achievements were limited.
In Mo'nan County, Yan Yan's defense was impeccable, and Tan Shihuai did not gain any advantage at all.
With Suo Chao's return, Tan Shihuai abandoned his attack on Monan County and instead joined Tuoba Tao in besieging Jiuyuan County. Ding Yuan was defeated, and just as the city was about to fall, General Lü Bu, the Protector of the Qiang, arrived and turned the tide.
"Godfather, the child is here!"
"General Hu Qiang, I feel guilty!"
Lü Bu's arrival instantly turned the tide of the battle. He assisted the soldiers in defending the city, and no one could break through his defenses. The crisis in Jiuyuan County was averted, and Ding Yuan was deeply grateful to Lü Bu.
"My son's fighting ability is unmatched in the world! With a son like this, what more could I ask for?"
......
The joint forces of Tuoba Tao and Tan Shihuai's attack was fruitless, so they had to set up camp under the city to continue to tie down the Han army.
The Xianbei army was not successful in the border war, so Suo Chao took some time off from his busy schedule to continue focusing on the construction of Mo Nan County.
When Zhang Jue and Zhang Bao heard that their brother had been captured and taken to the capital, they could not help but become furious and gnashed their teeth:
"How can this be! The Han army bullies my brothers like this!"
Zhang Bao gnashed his teeth and roared:
"Suo Chao, right?! After I've dealt with that old bastard Lu Zhi, I'll deal with you first!"
At this time, Lu Zhi was engaged in a thrilling and desperate battle with Zhang Jiao's main force of 12 at Julu, while Zhang Bao's 10 Yellow Turban troops, like a surging tide, were also moving from Qingzhou to the Julu front. Suddenly, the situation in the north took a sudden turn for the worse.
Late May.
Suo Chao sat cross-legged in the military tent, his mind returning to the world of System A for cultivation. Suddenly, a messenger from outside arrived with a report.
"Report! A letter from General Lu Zhi, the Northern Army Commander, requesting assistance!"
Suo Chao quickly opened Lu Zhi's letter. The handwriting on it seemed to be trembling, telling the story of the plight of Lu Zhi, the General of the Northern Army.
Lu Zhi led a large army to besiege Guangzong, but the siege proved ineffective, like being stuck in a quagmire. Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao's two armies, a combined 22 men, surged like a surging tide, ruthlessly cutting off Lu Zhi's retreat. Like a trapped beast, Lu Zhi was trapped in an ambush from all sides, his situation extremely urgent!
The same letter of request for help was also delivered to Gongsun Zan. Upon hearing that his teacher was surrounded by the Yellow Turbans, he led 10,000 White Horse Volunteers to rescue his teacher.
When Liu Bei and his four brothers heard that their teacher was surrounded, they were like ants on a hot pot, extremely anxious. They led their personal soldiers and rushed to meet their teacher like an arrow from a bow.
Lu Zhi was trapped in a tense atmosphere. The 220,000-strong army surrounded him like a dark cloud, forming an iron wall.
The battlefield was covered in dust, with flags fluttering, drums beating like thunder, and cries of killing echoing one after another. Lu Zhi's soldiers surrounded him closely, their faces firm, but their eyes also revealed a hint of uneasiness.
The surrounding army was in full battle formation, swords and spears flashing, giving people an insurmountable sense of oppression. Lu Zhi looked around and saw the enemy army surging like a tide, with dense tents and battle flags that were dazzling.
In this dangerous environment, Lu Zhi was not afraid. He stood straight, holding his sword, and stared at the enemy with a firm gaze. His figure seemed small and lonely in the huge enemy army, but his momentum was as steady as Mount Tai.
After traveling day and night, the four brothers finally arrived at the place where Lu Zhi was trapped. The four of them looked solemn, and seeing their teacher trapped in the siege, Liu Bei felt heartbroken.
