Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 64 The Second Brother Kills the Big Brother
Zhang Jiao had just regained some energy immediately, when he saw an officer and soldier in front of him blocking the way with a domineering aura, he couldn't help but be secretly startled.

The guard beside him asked, "Who is here?"

"Guan Yu!" The man on the horse caressed his long beard and said coldly, "You still don't want to confer the head?"

"How dare you dare to be so arrogant when you meet General Tian Gong..."

The big disciple next to him was furious and was yelling and cursing, but seeing the other party suddenly urge his horse, he rushed over with his knife in hand, and immediately backed up a few steps in fright, and quickly stopped in front of Zhang Jiao.

The sound of horseshoes was like raindrops, Guan Yu urged his horse to rush to the front of the bandit army, and the bandit army was in chaos, and they surrounded each other and retreated.

Before Zhang Jiao raised his staff, the Azure Dragon Saber had already roared towards him. Amidst the screams and shouts, the disheveled head with the golden ribbon flew up.

At this time, the rising sun just happened to shine on the blade of the Qinglong Saber, blood dripped down, and the Qinglong flew into the sky, as if it wanted to fly away!

"kill--"

Zhang Jiaoxiao was decapitated with a single blow, and Guan Yu shouted loudly at this time, the hot weather suddenly turned cold, and the bandits ran away screaming.

Anyone who resisted even a little bit was killed by Guan Yu with a gesture of his hands. The soldiers behind urged their horses to chase and kill the fleeing bandits.

Guan Yu looked around coldly, ordered people to put away Zhang Jiao's Taoist robe, staff and head, collected some bandit armor, and immediately rushed to Guangzong, where he would join Liu He and Zhang Fei to wipe out the bandits in one fell swoop. cave.

It turned out that long before the rain, Liu He and Tianfeng had made a plan to block the river in the upper reaches of the Zhangshui River and plan to flood it with water. Although the light rain did not increase the amount of water much, it did a good job of covering up the signs of the river becoming turbid.

Although Zhang Jiao was a bit smart, he was far behind in marching and fighting. Coupled with the shock of illness and Zhang Bao's killing, he was already mentally and mentally exhausted. How could he have thought of all this?
It was expected by Liu He that the rebel army blocked the channel of the moat, which made it easier to release water. The rebel army dug soil to fill the river, and dug countless large pits for their camps. Because there were not enough barracks, most of them spent the night in the pits.

Han Dang and Guan Yu rushed out of the city together, pretending to ask for help, but in fact they divided into two groups. Guan Yu lay in ambush on the road to intercept deserters, and Han Dang went upstream to open a canal to release water.

Outside the city was a deserted field. When the flood water flowed down the canal and submerged the entire field, the bandit army was still asleep, and the pits turned into ponds, and they were all submerged.

At this time, the bandit army outside Quzhou City was trapped, unable to resist, and most of them had no choice but to surrender. Liu He left Cheng Pu to collect the prisoners, and took Zhang Fei out of the city to join Guan Yu.

If Guan Yu goes well, kills Zhang Jiao, and gets rid of the leader of the bandit, the Yellow Turban army will have no leader, and all that awaits them is death.

The men and horses disguised themselves as the Yellow Turban Army and came ten miles away from Guangzong. After a while, they saw Guan Yu leading the army. Judging from his posture, it was obvious that he had succeeded.

Zhang Fei saw Zhang Jiao's magic staff from a long distance, and said with a big laugh, "Second Brother is on the horse, as expected, General Tiangong will also be awarded the head."

Liu He nodded and said: "The third general has gone to the second one, only the male general Zhang Liang is left to live, and the Yellow Turban Bandit is not far away."

Zhang Fei shook Zhang Bamao, and said loudly: "Young master took the head of the third brother Zhang Bao, and the second brother killed the eldest Zhang Jiao. Shouldn't the second brother Zhang Liang be handed over to me?"

Liu He couldn't help laughing when he heard the words: "The second brother killed the eldest brother, and the third brother killed the second brother. It sounds interesting."

While they were talking, Guan Yu had already arrived on a flying horse, took the staff in his hand, and said happily: "Guan Yu won the head of Zhang Jiao, General Tiangong, fortunately he did not disgrace his life."

Zhang Fei took the staff and twirled it around twice, then said with a smile, "It would be great if I could command the yellow scarf bandits with this thing."

Liu He smiled helplessly, and said to Guan Yu: "Yun Chang's cavalry came quickly, and the bandit army is still in the rear at this time. You can choose one person to pretend to be Zhang Jiao and lie on the horse. Just say that you are seriously ill and return to the city. You two earn money to open the city gate." , I led the cavalry to attack Guangzong together."

Guan and Zhang took orders, and immediately selected a person who was similar in stature to Zhang Jiao, asked him to wear a gold ribbon around his hair, and crouched on the horse with a staff in his hand, and ordered people to lead the horse and run towards Guangzong.

The Yellow Turban Army was loose and undisciplined, and they all recognized each other mainly by wearing yellow scarves on their heads. In addition, they had been robbing the government, and most of them also robbed the government's arsenal. Some had weapons and armor, just like officers and soldiers.

Guan and Zhang rushed to the base of the city. The city guards saw that most of the people were wearing yellow scarves, so they didn't doubt it. The guards at the city gate were shocked when they saw that Zhang Jiao had returned to the city due to illness, and rushed to the city to welcome him.

When the officers and soldiers entered the city, Guan and Zhang rioted, killed the generals defending the city, and robbed the city gate. The rest of the rebel army was still inexplicable.

The defenders only had time to release a few sparse arrows, and the cavalry had already entered the city. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei killed all those who tried to stop them. .

Liu He ordered people to carry Zhang Jiao's head, Taoist robe and staff separately, and each of the three led an army, and they went to the government office separately, while ordering people to shout "Zhang Jiao is dead, the descendant will not be killed", and wherever they passed , The bandit army fled in all directions in surprise.

When they got outside the gate of the government office, they hung Zhang Jiao's head and Taoist robe at the door, and the three of them rushed into the courtyard. The people inside were already in a mess, and there were still people chanting scriptures and burning paper, hoping that the old fairy Nanhua would appear to help them!
Liu He came to the inner office holding Zhang Jiao's staff and ordered people to move all the statues, incense tables, etc. enshrined on them to the street outside the office, smash them and burn them on the spot.

Guan Yu escorted a dozen of Zhang Jiao's confidants to the hall, copied out all the money they had collected and accumulated, and put it in a proper place for storage.

There were not many bandit troops left in Guangzong City, and the elite were transferred away by Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang. The defenders were caught off guard, and Zhang Jiao was killed, fleeing and surrendering, within half a day, It was completely controlled by more than 1000 officers and soldiers.

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "The Guangzong City that Lu Zhonglang couldn't take for more than a month, we took it in half a day. The young master is really clever."

Liu Heyan said: "If Zhang Jiao hadn't been eager for revenge and came out with all his strength, it would really not be easy to attack Guangzong."

Guan Yu caressed his beard and said, "Now that Guangzong has broken through, Zhang Liang is just outside Julu City. Why don't you send troops to kill them and break them in one fell swoop?"

Liu He shook his head and said: "The thief's den has been broken, so we shouldn't be too impatient at this time. Zhang Liang is still here, and if we suddenly kill him, Zhang Liang will not believe it, and will resist stubbornly! At this time, most of the thief army in the city has fled. They sent the news to Now, the bandit army will need to break the morale of the army, and they will be defeated without a fight."

Guan and Zhang nodded, Liu He ordered Zhang Fei to guard the city, Guan Yu patrolled and took care of the prisoners, and sent someone to send a message to Qu Zhou, and also to Zhang He at Jieqiao to report that there were still [-] rebels there, and it was time to launch a counterattack.

In the lobby, Liu He is holding a staff with horns that look like gold but not gold, and copper but not copper. The head of the staff is a carving of a yin and yang fish, but the area that should be black is dark purple, which should be formed by soaking in human blood.

Recalling that Tong Yuan said that he would soak the Xuanyuan Spear's fracture for three days with the blood of the staff, and the gap on the handle of the gun would be completely integrated, but there was no place for blood to be found on the head of the staff like a piece of iron, how could it be soaked?

After researching for a long time, he still couldn't find a clue, so he first gave it to Wei Dun to take it with him, and then took it back to Zhuo County and handed it to the craftsman for processing.
