Li Ru frowned, racking his brain in thought!
After a moment of silence, a look of joy appeared in his eyes, and he immediately spoke!
"General Dong, now is a good opportunity. Guangzong City has been breached, and Zhang Jiao is dead. As long as this news is spread within the city, it will surely cause panic among these Yellow Turban."
"Those indecisive Yellow Turban General, in order to survive, will definitely choose to defect to our army and become internal agents. By then, Qu Yang will undoubtedly fall."
Dong Zhuo nodded repeatedly when he heard this!
"Good, I will follow Wen You's advice. Immediately send people to announce the news within the city to cause a stir."
"At that time, I will mobilize troops, launch a fierce attack, breach Qu Yang, and kill Zhang Bao."
Li Ru nodded quickly, respectfully withdrew, and began to send people to spread the news that Zhang Jiao was dead.
Soon, the news reached Qu Yang City. The Yellow Turban within the city, learning that Guangzong City had been breached and Zhang Jiao had died, trembled with fear and were in a state of panic.
Already besieged within the city by the Han Army, they could only focus on defense, and their morale was low. Now they were struck by this shocking news.
Their courage had long since vanished. They cast aside their Yellow Turban, began to secretly flee, or hid within the city, no longer daring to oppose the Han Army.
Inside Qu Yang City's General's Mansion, Zhang Bao learned that his elder brother had died and that the hundreds of thousands of troops in Guangzong City had been annihilated.
He directly spat out a mouthful of blood, swaying unsteadily, his eyes red, and he roared with a tearing heart!
"Ah ah ah!"
"Liu Jin, you little brat, I will not rest until I kill you!"
Many Yellow Turban General saw Zhang Bao, who was like a man-eating tiger, and appeared somewhat at a loss.
Some even began to consider their next move, how to save their lives.
After all, the Great Virtuous Teacher Zhang Jiao was dead, and they had lost their spiritual leader, leaving these Yellow Turban General without any hope.
Furthermore, the Yellow Turban armies in various regions had basically been pacified, with only Qu Yang still holding out, which was already the last glimmer of light.
Even if they fought to the death, how long could they last? Sooner or later, they would be surrounded by the Han Army, the city would be breached, and they would be killed on the spot.
After Zhang Bao roared, his lips were stained with blood, and his eyes were red. He wished he could strangle Liu Jin to death.
The current situation was all due to this person. He killed his third brother, Zhang Liang, worsened his elder brother's illness, leading to his death, and then breached Guangzong, defeating hundreds of thousands of troops.
He had completely destroyed the Yellow Turban's momentum that his elder brother had established.
Looking at the Generals in the hall, Zhang Bao's hoarse voice slowly came!
"Guard the city for me. We must resist the Han Army to the end!"
"Even if we die, we must take a bite out of the Han, and not let them have it so easily."
When the Generals heard this, their faces still showed righteous indignation, vowing to resist the Han Army to the end, but only they knew their true thoughts.
Three days later!
The sky gradually darkened. Inside the Han Army camp!
Dong Zhuo, clad in armor and with a sharp blade at his waist, looked at the Generals in the tent, his eyes burning with fervor, and spoke loudly!
"After this period of contact, Yan Zheng, a Yellow Turban General within the city, has defected to our Great Han. It is agreed that at the third watch tonight, he will open the East Gate to let our army enter the city."
"I ask all of you soldiers to bravely kill the enemy, breach Qu Yang, and kill Zhang Bao."
"After this battle, I will definitely request rewards from the imperial court and reward all the Generals."
When the Generals in the tent heard this, their eyes were filled with fervor, and they quickly bowed in obedience!
After all, news had come recently that Liu Jin had led his army to breach Guangzong, annihilating hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban in one battle.
With such great merit, his subordinate Generals would all receive promotions to some extent.
They naturally were unwilling to fall behind and were determined to breach Qu Yang to gain merit.
Dong Zhuo saw that his subordinate Generals were in high spirits and eager for military achievements.
With a smile on his face, it seemed he still needed to stir them up a bit, and he said loudly!
"You all go and mobilize your troops, stationing them outside the East Gate, and wait for the opportune moment."
Soon, the Generals successively withdrew.
Outside the East Gate of Qu Yang City, various forces had already gathered.
Among one of the units, Gongsun Zan, clad in armor and with a sharp blade at his waist, looked at Liu Bei beside him and slowly said!
"Xuande, in this battle today, you must bravely kill the enemy. If you perform well, I will definitely recommend you to General Dong. By then, serving as a Qu Junhou will not be a problem."
Liu Bei was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly patted his chest, guaranteeing!
"Bo Gui, rest assured."
"With the help of my two brothers beside me, tonight I will surely bravely kill the enemy and earn this military merit."
When Gongsun Zan heard this, he looked at the two strong men behind Liu Bei and couldn't help but inwardly scoff.
He didn't expect Liu Bei to engage in such flashy displays, imitating Liu Jin with a sworn brotherhood.
He didn't know where he had conned these two men from. They looked quite fierce and mighty, but he wondered about their strength.
Compared to Liu Jin's Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, they were probably not worth mentioning.
After all, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were burly, immensely strong, and terrifyingly effective in charging into battle. Few in the world could compare to them.
Time slowly passed!
The sky grew darker, and from time to time, a patch of dark clouds would cover the moonlight, making the land seem silent.
Suddenly, the city gate in front opened, and many torches shone, facing the dark night sky, sending a message.
Dong Zhuo, who was stationed there, saw this scene and his eyes lit up.
His breathing quickened, and he immediately shouted loudly!
"The city gate is open! Soldiers, charge! The one who kills Zhang Bao will be rewarded with a thousand gold!"
The Generals of various ranks around heard this, their breathing quickened as if they had been injected with a stimulant.
They all led their respective Yellow Turban soldiers, like a tide, charging forward.
Soon, the various units rushed into the city gate and began to kill the Yellow Turban, who were gradually awakened, on the streets.
Battle erupted instantly. Weapons clashed, fire flashed, and screams occasionally rang out.
The sounds of fighting were everywhere in the city, echoing throughout the dark night sky.
Liu Bei, riding a swift horse and wielding two swords, continuously cut down Yellow Turban soldiers in the crowd, displaying fierce power.
Two strong men closely followed Liu Bei, surrounding him and slaughtering these exhausted Yellow Turban soldiers.
The grand army surged into the city like an autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves, causing the Yellow Turban soldiers to retreat in defeat.
The Yellow Turban soldiers, who already had no will to fight, faced with the Han Army's night raid and fierce offensive, fled in disarray, abandoning their helmets and armor.
Thus, the Han Army, led by Generals of various ranks, met no resistance and instantly swept through the entire Qu Yang City.
Inside the city's General's Mansion, Zhang Bao was quickly awakened by the sounds of fighting within the city.
When he learned that someone in the city had rebelled, defected to the Han Army, and opened the city gate, his heart was filled with panic.
He quickly ordered his personal guards to escort him, wanting to escape from this place.
Just as he left the mansion and was on the street, he ran head-on into a Han Army unit.
