Chapter 1125 Zhao Yun Attacks
"So that's it! The Yellow Turban Army in Yangzhou is basically useless! General Lin Mu should be... the first merit!" The burly general looked at Yuan Shu and said slowly.
Yuan Shu suggested him the first merit. He knew that it might not be possible to compete with Lin Mu for the first merit. Because Lin Mu also has people in the Dragon Court!
As long as Zhou Cang died of illness, Lin Mu would be the first merit, even if Zhou Cang was not dead, Lin Mu would still be the first merit! Because the Yellow Turban Army, after being wiped out for a while, is difficult to rise.
At that time, Zhou Cang who appeared can be directly said to be fake, a lie made up by the Taiping Dao to gather the Taiping Daoists in Yangzhou.
These lies are very easy to make up.
Zhou Cang was defeated and dying, and the loss of Fuling City, the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Yangzhou basically ended.
Hearing this, Lin Mu sighed softly. This guy is indeed worthy of being a famous general in history. He sees things clearly and is deeply trusted by Yuan Shu!
"However, our troops also traveled through mountains and rivers and confronted Zhou Cang's troops head-on, which can be regarded as a secondary merit!" The burly general said again.
His words were much more tactful. Lin Mu smiled slightly when he heard this.
"Of course, without General Yuan and General Ding Feng, it would be difficult to wipe out Zhou Cang's troops in this battle. Everyone has a share in the merit of killing the bandits in Yangzhou." Lin Mu said with a smile.
As long as you don't steal his first merit, what's wrong with giving you some credit!
Hearing that Lin Mu ranked him second, Yuan Shu's tense face also relaxed.
He was confident that even if Lin Mu was the first merit and he was the second merit, as long as the operation was proper, his promotion would be higher than Lin Mu's. This is the foundation of a prestigious family!
"In this case, we will retreat first." Without further greeting, the burly general saluted Yuan Shu directly, and then Yuan Shu took a deep look at Lin Mu, turned his head proudly, and rode away.
Know how to behave!
The first meeting between Lin Mu and Yuan Shu, Lin Mu's strong and hard confrontation was slightly better.
Soon, Yuan Shu's troops moved out.
And Lin Mu, also took his troops to rest in Fuling City. He was waiting for Ding Feng.
…
…
In a hidden valley, Ding Feng was recuperating with the remnants of his troops.
In a tall tent, Ding Feng and the generals in the army were holding a meeting.
"What did you say? Fuling City was broken by Lin Mu! The great leader Zhou Cang was seriously injured and dying?!" Hearing the report from the scout who went to get the news, Ding Feng stood up suddenly and was quite excited.
"General, according to some strange people's news, it seems that the fleeing Yellow Turban Army has sent the latest news that Zhou Cang is dead. As for the specific situation, it is unknown." The scout said again.
"Hehe... Zhou Cang was defeated and lost Fuling City. Even if he didn't die, it would be difficult to turn the tide!" Ding Feng was also a smart man and saw through the essence.
"General, how could it be? If Zhou Cang didn't die, and continued to secretly summon the Taiping Dao followers, he might form a force to harm Yangzhou again!" A military lieutenant stood up and asked.
"No! Zhou Cang was defeated. The Taiping Daoists in Yangzhou are just some small soldiers and crab generals. If the government pardons them, how can they rebel?!" Ding Feng waved his hand.
"Yes! Even the elite Taiping Daoists summoned by Zhou Cang can't deal with the soldiers. Those ordinary Daoists will definitely not easily rebel again. Will they seek death?" Another lieutenant stood up and said.
"So that's it!" Everyone suddenly realized.
"Any other information?" Ding Feng asked.
"Zhou Cang's Xiaoqushuai Gaosheng and Yan Zheng had an internal conflict because of the competition for the position of Yangzhou's flag bearer. The two fought twice. At present, the two have parted ways."
"..."
"Xuanwei General Yuan Shu has led his troops away..." The scout told the situation.
He ignored the matter of Gaosheng, Yan Zheng and Yuan Shu, and just nodded indifferently.
"Then General, what should we do now?" asked the lieutenant who stood up first.
"What else can we do... evacuate Yangzhou... go back to where you came from..." Ding Feng sighed.
This battle gave him many lessons and experiences.
He really couldn't imagine that Zhou Cang would find Lin Mu's ambush troops and burn them all, and block their evacuation route.
What he couldn't imagine was that Lin Mu didn't know when he took most of his troops to raid Fuling City, and he dealt with Zhou Cang's troops in one fell swoop!
Everything happened overnight, which was completely beyond his expectations.
This battle gave him the feeling that he lost not because of his lack of combat power or military strength, but because of his strategy. Zhou Cang has a strategist! Even Lin Mu has a great strategist under his command!
In this battle, the strategist should have intervened.
"You continue to find out the news and find out the information about how Lin Mu broke through Fuling City, all the details! Then catch up with us and report to me." Ding Feng instructed the scout.
"Yes!" The scout got the order and turned around and left immediately.
"In this battle, we have 200,000 soldiers and horses, and 130,000 of them are buried here. It's a shame!" Ding Feng roared unwillingly.
Everyone lowered their heads and fell silent after hearing this.
"Let's go! Evacuate Yangzhou, return to the territory, and rest." After a long pause, Ding Feng said in a low voice.
"Yes!"
Ding Feng did not return to Fuling City, nor did he say a word to Lin Mu, and he evacuated Yangzhou directly.
Glancing in the direction of Fuling City, a gleam of brilliance appeared in Ding Feng's dark eyes.
Lin Mu, you really are like a pine tree on a cliff, continuing to stand tenaciously!
The Yellow Turban Rebellion in Yangzhou ended.
……
……
"What did you say? Ding Feng left directly?" Lin Mu was quite surprised to hear the report from the Rangers.
Ding Feng is such a decisive guy!
"Then my lord, what should we do now?" Huang Xu asked the same question.
"Recuperate for two days, and then at night, transport the captives and supplies back to the territory." Lin Mu said.
"After that, we will pretend to encircle Gao Sheng, capture some strong men, and incorporate them into our army." Lin Mu smiled.
"No more Star Soldiers?" Cui Wu asked strangely.
"Hehe... they have been killed!" Lin Mu laughed.
Next, he was going to participate in the three core battlefields, which were meat grinders. He was not facing one or two big leaders, but the most elite troops of Taiping Dao. For example, the Green Turban Warriors, it was not like Zhou Cang, who only had a few Green Turban Warriors. The Green Turban Warriors there were organized into legions!
It was not surprising to see two or three legions of Green Turban Warriors.
"Then my lord, the other Star Soldiers were not used?" Huang Xu asked.
"No need, let them 'wipe out the remnants of the Yellow Turbans' in Yangzhou." Lin Mu smiled.
"Are we going to command the newly recruited elites?" Cui Wu asked with wide eyes. This is a hard job!
"Of course!" Lin Mu smiled.
Huang Xu and Cui Wu looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
Lord Lin Mu did not tell them about his plan after he settled the matter in Yangzhou. It turned out that he was waiting for them here!
"It's okay. Next, our team will not have 200,000 troops, but more!" Lin Mai smiled.
He plans to take the players with him next.
...
...
Youzhou, Qingzhou, Yangzhou, three states have been settled, while Jizhou, Yanzhou, Jingzhou, Xuzhou, etc., have just erupted in large-scale battles.
Xuzhou.
In a magnificent mansion, Daqushuai Zhang Kai and his subordinates were admiring the skills of the dancers, drinking wine and eating meat.
"Everyone, drink! Xuzhou is indeed a city of great wealth. Let's drink as much as we can!" Zhang Kai called out.
"Thank you for the hospitality, General Daqu! Let's toast to General Daqu!"
"Come on!"
The scene was very lively.
Looking at the flushed generals, Zhang Kai was full of pride.
He really thrived in Xuzhou. Moreover, he was even more stable with his inner strength.
He was ready to be a happy king in Xuzhou!
Other generals of Daqu all obeyed the order of General Tiangong Zhang Jiao and contributed precious materials such as military talismans and powerful talismans to support the three core battlefields. But he didn't.
He dared to do this because he and Zhang Jiao were relatives.
In fact, he and Zhang Mancheng and other Taiping Dao followers of the Zhang surname were all relatives of Zhang Jiao. However, because they were not as close as Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao, they did not announce it to the outside world.
Zhang Jiao trusted them so much because they were members of the Zhang clan and had a blood relationship with Zhang Jiao. It's just that outsiders didn't know.
If they knew that he was a relative of Zhang Jue, the nobles of Xuzhou might not have gotten along with him in such a balanced way.
Exterminating Zhang Jue's three clans was a great achievement!
Other Daqu generals could surrender and be spared, but Zhang Jue's relatives could not be spared even if they surrendered!
"Drink, keep drinking!!"
"Good! Good dancing skills, there are really many beauties hidden in the Daqu general's mansion, I envy them!"
"Hehe... Everyone follows me loyally, I drink meat, don't I give everyone soup? All, all!" Zhang Kai drank a lot of wine and was a little drunk at the moment.
However, at this moment, a hurried voice interrupted their enjoyment.
"Report! Commander Daqu, urgent military report! Someone is attacking the city!"
Hearing the messenger's report, Zhang Kai's face became furious: "Who dares to attack the city?! He is tired of living!"
"I heard the caller's report, it is Zhao Zilong from Changshan!"
"Zhao Zilong from Changshan, where did he come from! Generals, follow me to meet this person." Zhang Kai's face changed and said in a deep voice.
"Let's go! He dared to interrupt our Commander Daqu's fun, he deserves to die, wait for us to kill him, and leave him at the city gate to be exposed to the sun for three days!"
All of a sudden, everyone became excited, as if they were invincible.
