Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 55

On the battlefield of Jingzhou, Qin Jie, the prefect of Nanyang, set up a plan to lure the enemy to go deep. He wanted to directly kill Zhang Mancheng, the envoy of the Yellow Turban Army.Seeing that the plan was about to succeed, unexpected changes happened unexpectedly.

At this time, hundreds of horsemen suddenly came rushing from the south, and they didn't answer when they approached the battlefield.

Although this group of cavalry did not cause much damage to the Han soldiers and horses, it completely disrupted the Han army's position and gave Zhang Mancheng a chance.Zhang Mancheng abandoned the troops who were in an ambush, and got out among the chaotic army alone.

In Jingzhou, the only ones who are willing to support the Yellow Turbans and have the ability to rescue the Yellow Turbans are the Xiang clan who live in seclusion here.

Of course, it was not Xiang Yu who led the support this time, but Long Qie, one of the five tiger generals under Xiang Yu's command back then, to rescue him.

The reason why Xiang Yan refused to let Xiang Yu take action was that on the one hand, he would use a sledgehammer to kill a chicken, and on the other hand, he was worried that Xiang Yu's character would be damaged.

After all, Xiang Yu had always looked down on the Yellow Turban uprising before, thinking that the Yellow Turban uprising would not be a big deal.Moreover, Xiang Yu has always wanted to do it himself. If he leads the troops, I am afraid that Xiang Yu can directly lead the troops to fight with the Han army.

Since the ambush, Zhang Mancheng became completely cautious.He would rather miss the opportunity than take any more risks.

In this way, Zhang Mancheng relied on his strength to devour Wancheng bit by bit.Within ten days, the Han army was powerless, Wancheng fell, and Nanyang County fell.

As a result, the situation in the entire Jingzhou became critical.What's more serious is that Nanyang County, the place of the Fourth World War, can directly threaten Luoyang to the north, but if it enters the Central Plains to the east, the situation will not be much better.At that time, once Zhang Mancheng's army joins Zhang Liang and Bocai in the Central Plains, Huang Fusong and Zhu Jun will surely be defeated.In this way, the Han Dynasty is in danger, and the world is in danger.

Under the influence of the system, although only a small number of outstanding people from all ages gather together for the time being.But it is obvious that the power of the Yellow Turban has undergone a complete transformation, although this transformation is only maintained now.

And from this we can also see the extraordinaryness of these outstanding people through the ages. Under their secret manipulation, the Yellow Turban Uprising, which was quickly coming to an end, is still strong, and continues to consume the few vitality of the big men, laying the foundation for their own future.

Let's talk about the Yellow Turbans. Originally, the situation of the Yellow Turbans was very good, but Zhang Jiao's order caused the situation in the world to change again.

In other words, Zhang Jiao knew that there would be such a reason, but he had to do it. At this moment, the disadvantages of the Yellow Turban Uprising were finally exposed.

After the Yellow Turban Uprising, within a short period of time, the Yellow Turban Army was in full swing, and it was about to sweep the world.But at this time, Zhang Jiao issued an order to loot the world's aristocratic families.But behind this order is the increasingly serious food crisis of the Yellow Turbans.

After all, the Yellow Turbans did not do production, although Zhang Jiao had planned to store a batch of grain and grass before the uprising, and after the uprising, the Yellow Turban Army accumulated a batch of grain and grass through continuous plunder.

But after all, it is just sitting and eating, coupled with the huge population of the Yellow Turban Army.Less than two months after the uprising, the Yellow Turban Army had a food crisis.

In fact, Zhang Jiao anticipated this situation at the beginning of the uprising, and took some precautionary measures early on, and sent officials to manage the captured places.

However, the members of the Yellow Turban Army were all from the bottom of society such as civilians, and these people may have a little courage to charge forward.But letting them govern the place and develop people's livelihood is really embarrassing for them.It is precisely because of this that although Zhang Jiao tried his best to restore local order and people's livelihood, the effect was not obvious.

Facing the red-eyed Yellow Turbans, and Zhang Jiao had issued an order to loot the families, some older families were fine, but most of the small and medium families suffered.Those small and medium-sized aristocratic families did not even have time to collect the gold and silver, so they followed other places one after another. Some aristocratic families even had no time to escape, and they were hacked and killed by the Yellow Turban soldiers who invaded the mansion.

As the most powerful stratum of the Han Dynasty, how could the power of the aristocratic family wait for death like this.What's more, after suffering such a big loss, they wouldn't be able to swallow it if they didn't come back with revenge.

And for some elites from aristocratic families, they have already seen through the nature of these disorderly people.No matter how much their aristocratic family wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, the method of waiting for an opportunity to further control their influence is no longer feasible.If this Yellow Turban Rebellion is not put down as soon as possible, I am afraid that their aristocratic family and class will also be greatly injured along with the big man.

For a while, whether it comes from selfishness or publicity.The families of the Han Dynasty all contributed money and food to build armor for the imperial court and prepare the army.In a short period of time, the power of the aristocratic family actually helped the big man organize a large-scale recruit. Although the combat power cannot be guaranteed, after all, the army is well-equipped, which is much stronger than the Yellow Turban Army composed of farmers.

Some elite children of aristocratic families even directly joined the various armies of the Han Dynasty, either as generals, commanding the army to fight, or as counselors, giving advice to the generals.

The aristocratic family deserves to be the most powerful class in the world today. Although it has not yet reached its peak and become the head of the aristocratic family like the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, its power is not weak at this time.

Although the Han army, which received the full support of the aristocratic family, was still at a disadvantage in terms of strength, it abruptly blocked the successive waves of the Yellow Turban Army's offensive.The momentum of the Yellow Turban Army's overall upper hand came to an abrupt end, and the battle between the two sides maintained a delicate balance for a while. The two main battlefields in Jizhou and the Central Plains really stalemate for a while, and no one could do anything about it.

The battlefield between the Central Plains and Jizhou is at a stalemate, but the battle between Bingzhou is about to begin.

As I said before, Wang Qing, one of the four major bandits of the Water Margin, once suffered a big loss in Bingzhou. Later, Wang Qing swallowed this breath because he was unwilling, and even stayed in Bingzhou himself, becoming the commander of the yellow scarf in Bingzhou.

The Yellow Turban Uprising shocked the world with its momentum, and everyone in the Han Dynasty was in danger for a while.With Wang Qing's character of vengeance, naturally he would not let this opportunity pass.Wang Qing tried every means to travel around in person, and mobilized more than 20 yellow scarves, gathered outside Bingzhou, and prepared to attack Bingzhou to avenge the shame of defeat that year.

Of course, apart from the bandits Wang Qing and Tian Hu gathered together, only a small number of these more than 20 yellow scarves were believers in Bingzhou, and the number was negligible.

With Li Xiang's dominance, the population of Bingzhou is not large. Although the refugees who have been summoned over the years have greatly improved the situation, in times of war, population is a precious resource. How can Li Xiang let it go? The Yellow Turban developed congregations in Bingzhou.Therefore, it is not surprising that there are few Yellow Turbans in Bingzhou.
