Chapter 11: Meng De appears

The flood season of Baidenghe suddenly got ahead, which was beyond Zhang Bao's expectations.

Dong Zhuo's successive avoidance of war also really encouraged Zhang Bao's arrogant heart. Why can a simple arrogant plan make achievements repeatedly? To put it bluntly, it depends on how to grasp the opponent's thoughts. Zhang Yan grasped Huangfu Song's stubborn character and dared to give up nearly 10,000 lives to lure Huangfu Song into being deceived. In the end, he almost fought on the banks of the Yinma River and competed for his full results.

There is also a person around Dong Zhuo who can grasp other people's thoughts, that is Li Ru.

Li Ru was far more profound in the study of the people in Taiping Dao than others. Especially for the thoughts of the three thief chiefs, Li Ru believed that he knew very well. Bo Cai's death angered Zhang Bao. Faced with the situation where the Taiping Dao was about to collapse, Zhang Bao also understood very well that if he could not defeat Dong Zhuo and his subordinates, Taiping Dao would face danger in Yingchuan.

Therefore, he can only attack wildly, and he can only attack wildly!

Li Ru designed a plan for Dong Zhuo to retreat to the chief society, which led to Zhang Bao's wrong ideas.

Dong Zhuo did not have many people, so he avoided fighting in the Changshe. The next few days seemed to prove this.

Changshe's personnel will not exceed 20,000.

It has to be said that Li Ru asked Dong Qi to take away some of his troops, which really made Zhang Bao feel illusion. Although he knew that the Baideng River would have a flood season, based on his previous experience, there were at least twenty days left. This also made Zhang Bao not wary of the situation of Baideng River, and concentrated all his troops under Changshe City for several days.

Dong Zhuo suffered heavy losses, but he always retained some of his troops and refused to use them.

Maybe it was God who helped Dong Zhuo get things done. Just as he was hesitating whether to put the last team up, heavy rain fell. The heavy rain came very suddenly, and the rain was even more powerful than Li Ru expected. The Baideng River surged overnight, and in the early morning it broke through the blockage of the pass, turning dozens of miles into a terrain.

Zhang Bao's army of more than 100,000 was washed away by the flood.

The water situation even spread into Changshe, which could flood half of the body of a seven or eight-year-old child.

After the flood, I saw only corpses everywhere on both sides of the Baideng River, and the river was surging, and I didn’t know how many lives it had devoured.

Zhang Bao fled in a panic with thousands of people, which was like a rat crossing the street.

After dawn, the heavy rain still stopped. Just as I was about to collect the remaining troops, I happened to meet an official army rushing to Changshe. The general led by the leader was seven feet long and had long beards. After meeting Zhang Bao, how could he not beat the dogs in the water? He led his army to cover up and kill him immediately.

In theory, Zhang Bao had many soldiers around him, which was much more powerful than the opponent's troops.

But unfortunately, the morale was low, and as soon as the two sides fought, they quickly dispersed and fled. If it weren't for the Yellow Turban Warriors beside Zhang Bao's death fight to protect Zhang Bao from escaping, they would have been afraid that they would not even be able to save their lives. The general led his troops to take advantage of the victory and concealed them. After chasing them for more than ten miles, he then withdrew.

At this time, Dong Zhuo had already brought people to chase him.

"Where is the general coming from?"

The general also saw Dong Zhuo's banner clearly and quickly dismounted and visited, "The last general Cao Cao was appointed as the commander of the cavalry commander and met Dong Zhonglang."

This person has an extraordinary demeanor and has the style of a noble family.

But the words are not as arrogant as ordinary families, and they are neither humble nor arrogant, and their conversations are quite appropriate.

When Dong Zhuo saw this person, he immediately felt a favor.

"Since that's the case, follow me to chase and kill the rebels!"

After saying that, he led the three thousand cavalrymen to chase him like lightning. After being stunned, Cao Cao smiled and said to his left and right: "General Zuo Zhonglang is a generous person. Well, order all his troops, even if General Zuo Zhonglang is away, now is a good time to make achievements!"

He took more than a thousand people with him with Dong Zhuo.

It was noon that the heavy rain stopped. Zhang Bao then gathered his troops, but this gathered him almost burst into tears.

There are more than 100,000 people left, only less than 1,000 people left.

What made Zhang Bao most heartbroken was that his Yellow Turban Warriors were almost completely lost, and less than a hundred people followed him.

Four thousand Yellow Turban Strongmen, that is the foundation of Taiping Dao.

Zhang Bao was about to cry without tears. He was about to take a break and continue his journey, but he heard a sound of war drums, and two troops broke out in front of him. One was the Qin Hu soldiers of Hua Xiong; the other was the Hedong cavalry led by Xu Rong, with a total of nearly 10,000 people.

Zhang Bao was besieged in the middle and fought hard.

The Yellow Turban Warriors beside him died one by one, which made Zhang Bao no longer interested in fighting. After finally breaking out a bloody path, Zhang Bao was about to escape. Suddenly he heard a loud shout behind him: "Thief, keep your head and leave!"

Hua Xiong was covered in blood, and rushed behind Zhang Bao with a slap in his horse and danced his sword.

This guy's horse is so good, and it's very fast. When Zhang Bao heard the roar, he noticed a golden wind coming.

Before he could see his opponent clearly, Hua Xiong's big knife had already slashed his neck.

The sword was fast and the horse was fast. A stream of blood rushed up and flowed all over his body in an instant. Hua Xiong used a big knife to lift Zhang Bao's head, and his eyes narrowed into a slit.

Killing the thief chief is the first achievement!

What kind of head is in your hand? It is clearly the bright future for the future.

*******

As soon as Zhang Bao died, the Yingchuan Yellow Turban Army immediately lost its head and could no longer cause storms.

After repairing for a day, Dong Zhuo led his troops to Nanyang. There was no way, who told his precious son to run away and be loyal to all the brothers!

If it weren't for Dong Qi's trip to Wan County, Dong Zhuo really didn't want to send troops to Nanyang so soon.

He admired Cao Cao very much and learned that Cao Cao was a descendant of Cao Shen, the founding father of the Western Han Dynasty and the descendant of Cao Shen, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and immediately became interested in making friends. Cao Cao's name was Mengde, and his nickname was Aman, also known as Jili. It can be said that he had a prominent background. Not only was he a descendant of Cao Shen, his grandfather Cao Teng was also a eunuch, but also a prominent figure.

Dong Zhuo has heard of this person.

He said to Li Ru: "It turned out to be the Northern Commander who was so powerful that Luoyang was in power. No wonder it was extraordinary."

The Northern Commander was a position in Luoyang when Cao Cao, who was only nineteen years old, was recommended as a filial and honest person. As soon as he took office, he established a five-color stick declaration order to strictly enforce laws and regulations, and even better killed the uncle of Jian Shuo, the eunuch who was favored by the Emperor of Han, which shocked Luoyang. Some people once said: If the Northern Commander is there, the capital will be trapped and he will not dare to violate the ban.

Dong Zhuo admires such a person very much.

I originally wanted to make friends with Cao Cao for a long time, but I was concerned about my dear son.

In the end, it was the son important. Dong Zhuo also gave Cao Cao a benefit, and ordered him to be responsible for cleaning up the remains of Yingchuan and clearing out the remaining bandits.

This was also a great contribution. Cao Cao was pleased to accept the order and also expressed his gratitude to Dong Zhuosheng.

It has been seven days since Dong Qi left Changshe.

Dong Zhuo rushed forward along the way, constantly urging the army to speed up.

But even so, when the army was about to enter Nanyang, the scout heard a message: Wan County was lost!

When Dong Zhuo heard the news immediately, his head buzzed.

"Wan County is lost? How could Wan County be lost?"

"Three days ago, it rained heavily in Nanyang. The thief general Zhang Yan dug out the clean water and flooded Wan County..."

Not only Dong Zhuo, but Li Ru and others on the side were stunned when they heard this. No one had heard of Zhang Yan before. It was just that Dong Qi warned that there was a man named Chu Yan in the Yellow Turban Army.

Most of the people who wiped out Huangfu Song's cavalry in Yinmahe were written by Chu Yan.

No one cared about it at that time and was busy preparing to deal with Zhang Bao. Why did Zhang Yan suddenly pop up now? What is the origin?

Li Ru clapped his hands, "Why is there no Zhang Yan in the news sent by Tang Zhou?"

It is inevitable that he was a little panicked. Since Dong Zhuo served as the General of the Left Central Army, Li Ru has been studying the situation in Yingchuan.

First, Guo Jia and him thought of each other, and now another Zhang Yan came!

Li Ru took a deep breath. He could think of the flooding of Zhang Bao, because it was a decision made after a long period of consideration.

Guo Jianeng thought of him in a short time, perhaps with the advantage that he is from Yingchuan.

But who is Zhang Yan? If you meet this person in Nanyang, you will inevitably have a fierce battle.

Li Ru was not afraid of fierce battles. What he was worried about was that he didn't understand Zhang Yan at all.

One Chu Yan, the other Zhang Yan... Li Ru's thinking was a bit confusing. However, he was a calm person and quickly calmed down. He grabbed the scout and asked, "Wan County was lost, so where are the people from Wan County now?"

Dong Zhuo also woke up and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Qin Jie, Old Lady He, where are you now?"

The scout said: "This is not clear yet. I heard that when the Qingshui River broke, the prefect Qin led his men to kill him from the north gate of Wan County, and his whereabouts are still unknown..."

If Dong Zhuo is not annoyed, why should he be upset? It must be annoyed!

But he didn't want to lose this backer. If he had left a clear mark on his body, he would be afraid that he would have more trouble in the future.

Dong Zhuo is best at getting along with everything.

As long as He Jin did not really turn against the Ten Changshi in one day, he would have enough room for activities.

But once you really want to turn against each other, Dong Zhuo is not ready to choose that side and wait for a price! This is also a truth that Dong Zhuo understands in Luoyang. As a lackey, others will not cherish you. The best way is to wait for a price.

Therefore, on the one hand, Dong Zhuo was eager to catch up with Dong Qi, and on the other hand, he also had the intention to save Old Lady He.

No matter what, being able to save Mrs. He could be considered as selling He Jin's face and taking the opportunity to make up for the rift between the two.

Li Ru asked again: "Where is the men of the young master?"

"Yesterday morning, Mr. Cheng had fought against the thief on the banks of the Qingshui River and died after beheading the thief chief Sun Xia."

Dong Zhuo was stunned!

"Slow down, slow down, do you mean, Dong Qi won?"

The scout replied: "That's right. It is said that Young Master Chu used 6,000 infantry to restrain the main force of the rebels. When the rebels attacked with all their strength, two teams of troops were launched from the two wings to defeat the rebels. Then he suddenly evacuated and there was no news again."

What does this mean?

What is the reason that caused Dong Qi to suddenly evacuate from the battlefield?

According to Dong Zhuo's understanding of his son, he would definitely launch a fierce attack on Wan County.

Could it be that some danger was discovered?
