Summoning the best emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 558
With the help of Liu Bei and Fazheng, the ownership of Jingzhou became more and more clear.

At the same time, near the Taihang Mountains, Yuan Shao's three sons were gradually encircling and suppressing the Yellow Turbans, but there was still not much progress.

There was heavy snow in the north, and Yuan Shang was pampered since he was a child. He could not bear the biting cold wind, but Yuan Shao didn't issue an order to withdraw troops. No matter how unwilling he was, he could only restrain his troops and defend carefully.

Yuan Shang did not wrong himself. He hid in the tent in a brocade hat and mink fur every day, cooking wine slowly by the stove. He even quietly snatched a few beautiful folk girls from nearby people's homes to keep him company day and night, making people Envy.

Fortunately, he was surrounded by his brothers and confidants, but they also kept the matter a secret.

However, in this snowy night, a mysterious army quietly ushered in in front of Taihang Mountain.

At first glance, this army is full of coarse cotton clothes, wearing yellow kerchiefs on their heads, yellow and thin, and looks listless, as if they have suffered a defeat.

It's just that this scarf is mysterious, and there is a rather neat Chinese character "chrysanthemum" embroidered in the middle of everyone's forehead.

It's about to come out, this mysterious army is exactly the Huang Ju army under Huang Chao.

Huang Chao led Huang Ju's army to withdraw from Bingzhou suddenly, and marched eastward all the way, even hiding the truth from the two brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, and quietly lurked on the Taihang Mountain.

The group of people were familiar with the mountain roads and were both Yellow Turbans. They quickly passed through the light and dark defenses set up by Zhang Yan and arrived at the Taihang Village.

Zhang Yan was particularly surprised by Huang Chao's sudden return. He knew that Huang Chao had ambitions. When Huang Chao led his troops to Bingzhou, he wanted to occupy a state to compete with him and compete for the position of leader.

Could it be that Yuan Shao's siege rekindled Huang Chao's old feelings for the Yellow Turban, and came back to help him in the wind and snow?
"Go and invite King Hong over here, and I will go with him to see what kind of medicine is sold in this yellow nest gourd."

With the overall situation at hand, Zhang Yan decided to temporarily forget about the dispute between the two.

If Huang Chao is really here to help, he is willing to abandon the previous suspicions, and even give up the position of the big leader to Huang Chao, as long as he can help Huang Jin tide over the difficulties, it is not impossible.

Soon, Hong Xiuquan was invited by his subordinates, Zhang Yan briefly explained the situation to him, and the two went to the front hall hand in hand.

The drink in front of Huang Chao is already over half. If he had been taught to wait so long for nothing in the past, according to his impatience, he would have been impatient for waiting, but today he waited calmly with drooping eyelids and expressionless face.

The whole person looks like an ocean, without waves but bottomless.

"Tianhan Mountain is poor, General Huang is not in Bingzhou, why do you suddenly remember our dilapidated cottage?"

The person who spoke was Zhang Leigong, a general under Zhang Yan. As his name suggests, he has a violent personality. He has long disliked the past of Huang Chao's splitting of the Yellow Turban, and he couldn't help but sneer when they met.

"Ye Luo has returned to his roots, but now that the Yellow Turbans are about to suffer disaster, I am also a member of the Yellow Turbans, so I shouldn't stand by and be alone."

Huang Chao was not moved at all, and said a few words lightly, but instead looked at the whole body of Hong Xiu beside Zhang Yan, a little surprised.

"Hong Tianwang is also here, but I don't know where Song Jiang is?"

"Everyone has his own ambitions. Song Gongming voted for Jiangdong Sun Jian. I heard that he caused Jingzhou to turn upside down some time ago, but he is living a more comfortable life than us."

Zhang Yan was concerned about Song Jiang, mentioned a few words, then shook his head and asked: "Don't talk about him, Huang Chao, is the battle situation in Bingzhou a little unsatisfactory?"

"Hmph, although Xiaoer Yuan Tan has some strategies, I wouldn't be afraid to fight him in normal times. It's just that my foundation is too shallow, and I broke up my food, grass and cotton clothes as soon as winter came. It's not like he has his back against Youzhou, so it's hard to fight against him. No To tell you the truth, when I come back this time, I really have nowhere to go. However, right now, you and I are joining forces, and it is not difficult to defeat Yuan Shang first. When the spring of the next year, I will lead the army back to Bingzhou, so you don’t need to worry about it. I will covet the copycat foundation."

Huang Chao got up and rubbed his hands, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said slowly.

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Yan and Hong Xiuquan couldn't help but looked at each other suspiciously, a little surprised that Huang Chao would say such words.

In their impression, Huang Chao is a person who has no profit and can't afford to be early. He usually counts pennies and pennies, so why would he think that he would help them defeat Yuan Shang for nothing?

"Where does this come from? In the face of a catastrophe, the same yellow scarves are brothers. As brothers, we share blessings and share difficulties, not to mention coveting or not coveting."

Zhang Yan is worthy of being the leader of the [-] Black Mountain Army, and he quickly set an example, and the words he said were indeed somewhat cohesive.

Huang Chao just smiled slightly and was noncommittal. How could it really be that simple when he came back this time?

"With your words, I feel a lot more relieved. Well, we are all our own people, so there is no need to say more polite words. Tell me, what is the current situation of Yuan Shang's military strength and deployment?"

After Zhang Yan and Hong Xiuquan also sat down, Huang Chao couldn't wait to ask.

"Yuan Shangzhi is a great talent, so there is nothing to be afraid of. It's just that he is surrounded by judges, Gao Lan, Gao Gan and other generals. His strength should not be underestimated. After winter, he is steady and steady, and only sends troops to garrison at major dangerous intersections. , not in a hurry to enter the mountain to start a decisive battle with us, we don't have many chances at all."

Without hesitation, Zhang Yan told the situation frankly.

In fact, he thought wrongly. It wasn't that Yuan Shang was being cautious, but that this guy was so pampered that he was not willing to be bullied by the wind and snow. That's why he sent generals to block their way down the mountain, while he hid in his tent, singing and singing day and night, heating the stove. Cooking wine is so enjoyable.

"really?"

Huang Chao raised his eyebrows and quickly confirmed.

"Naturally."

Zhang Yan was a little strange and didn't know why Huang Chao was so concerned about this matter.

On the other hand, Hong Xiuquan sat there quietly from the beginning to the end, just listening to the two talking carefully without interrupting.

"If what you said earlier is true, I have a plan to break Yuan Shang'er!"

Huang Chao straightened his chest and said solemnly.

"Oh? Come and listen."

Zhang Yan was a little excited. Although Yuan Shangshou stood still at the foot of the mountain, it was like a sharp knife hanging over his head all the time, and he didn't know when it would suddenly fall.

Besides, even if Yuan Shang won't attack suddenly, if they are trapped by him, they will eventually be overwhelmed by Yuan Shao's army, and they will have no way to escape.

"I went up the mountain this time by taking the small path on the west side of Taihang Mountain. I was careful all the way, and I didn't know it for outsiders. In this way, Yuan Shang didn't know that our stronghold suddenly increased by tens of thousands of troops. We just need to send soldiers along the way If Ma pretends to break through, he will definitely send troops to intercept, and when our large army suddenly breaks out, it will definitely give the third son of the Yuan family a big surprise!"

Huang Chao stroked a small strand of beard and talked eloquently, knowing his strategy well.

Yuan Shang was already conceited and had always looked down upon the Yellow Turbans. Now he didn't know that Zhang Yan had received support from Huang Chao. If he was careless, he would definitely fall into a trap and fall into an ambush.In this way, with Yuan Shang in hand, everything turned around.
