Read the Second Time of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms
In the process of conquest of the Yellow Turban Army, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Jian began to enter the role and make meritorious achievements, preparing for the gradual opening of the curtain of the Three Kingdoms. So will the three brothers zhang jiao, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang of the Yellow Turban Army use magic and use it in war? How did the three die? Were they all killed in battle? Let's take a look.
The three brothers Zhang Jiao, the "Tiangong General" Zhang Bao, and the "Rengong General" Zhang Liang rebelled, and the imperial court ordered Lu Zhi, Huang Fusong, and Zhu Juan to go to the conquest.
Liu Bei's three men led an army to defect to Zhu Juan, and were treated favorably by Zhu Juan, and the two sides joined forces to attack Zhang Bao. At this time, Cao Cao also followed Emperor Fusong to conquer Zhang Liang and was fighting in the Battle of Quyang.
Zhang Bao had soldiers behind the mountain, with 80,000 or 90,000 soldiers. Zhu Sent Xuande to fight Zhang Bao as the vanguard. Zhang Bao sent the deputy general Gao Sheng out of the horse, Xuan De let Zhang Fei attack, Zhang Fei raised the spear, and stabbed Gao Sheng off the horse with three strokes and five to two. Xuan De commanded the army to rush straight over, at this time, Zhang Bao was on his horse and wearing a sword to do the demon law, only to see the wind and thunder, a black gas fell from the sky, and there seemed to be a lot of people and horses in the black gas. Xuan De's army was in chaos, and after a defeat, he consulted with Zhu Juan on the way to deal with the enemy. Zhu Juan said: "He uses magic, we can kill pigs, sheep, dogs to get blood, and then let the soldiers splash him with blood from the high slope, which can be dissolved." After Xuan De listened, he asked Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to each lead a thousand soldiers to ambush on the hill behind the mountain, and prepared for a lot of pig, sheep, dog blood and filth.
The next day, Zhang Bao waved the flag and shouted, leading his army to fight, and Xuan De attacked. At the time of the confrontation, Zhang Bao did it again, "The wind and thunder are great, the sand and stones are flying, the black gas is full of sky, rolling people and horses, falling from the sky." Xuan De pulled out his horse and fled, Zhang Bao led the army to chase, and when he was about to pass the mountain, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's ambush troops spilled the filth such as pig, sheep, and dog blood that had been prepared at the same time, only to see that "the paper people and grass horses in the air fell to the ground; the wind and thunder stopped, and the sand and gravel did not fly." Zhang Bao saw that the spell was cracked and hurriedly retreated.
However, at this time, Guan Yu on the left, Zhang Fei on the right, and Xuan De Zhu In the rear attacked at the same time, and Zhang Bao was defeated. XuanDe saw the banner of "General of the Earth Gong", pegasus rushed, Zhang Bao fell into the wilderness and fled, XuanDe shot an arrow at Zhang Bao, hitting his left arm, but Zhang Bao escaped with the arrow and came to Yangcheng, holding out.
Zhu Juan led his troops to attack Yangcheng, and while sending someone to inquire about Emperor Fusong's news, the spies reported: "The imperial court ordered Huang Fusong to replace Dong Zhuo because of Dong Zhuo's repeated defeats in the process of conquest of the Yellow Turban Army. However, by the time Huang Fusong arrived, the Tiangong general Zhang Jiao was dead, and the Digong general Zhang Liang commanded his men to confront the imperial army. However, he was defeated seven times in a row, and Emperor Fusong killed Zhang Liang at Quyang, dug up Zhang Jiao's grave, and sent his head to Jingshi, and the rest of the people surrendered...".
When Zhu Juan heard about it, he urged his army to attack Yangcheng with all his might. At this time, a general named Yan Zheng of Zhang Bao, seeing that the situation was critical, assassinated Zhang Bao and dedicated his head to Zhu Juan to show his surrender. Zhu Juan reported success to the imperial court.
It can be seen that Zhang Jiao died in the army, but the cause of death is not clear, not necessarily killed, there is a saying that Zhang Jiao died of illness in the army; Zhang Bao was killed by his subordinate Yan Zheng; Zhang Liang was killed by Emperor Fusong. Since then, the main force of the Yellow Turban Army has been basically wiped out, and there are only a few scattered remnants left, but they are still active, such as Zhao Hong, Han Zhong, Sun Zhong, and so on.
