Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao and Liu Bei help me to ascend the throne

Chapter 220 Pull, pull repeatedly!
"The weakness of the moth thief, in my opinion..." Xun Yu became serious, "The law of the Han Dynasty stipulates that rebellion is a serious crime that affects the nine clans, while the rebellion of the Taiping Dao and the Yellow Turban Army is a death penalty, and the whole family must be chained."

"That's why, if these moth thieves leave their families and children in their hometown, they will be surrounded and suppressed by the officers and soldiers who came to support them, and those poor family members will be mercilessly killed."

Speaking of this... Xun Yu paused.

As he said, after the resistant young and strong men leave, their families will be wiped out by the government.

"The great man ruled the country with filial piety, and the filial piety of the people is mellow, and it is filial piety for the whole. These moth thieves are bound to bring their families to wander together... and the moth thieves' families can't let go of cattle, farm tools, and even some simple furniture!"

“People have to sleep and eat wherever they go, and they have to bring mats, quilts, pillows, kitchen knives, iron pans, clay pots, copper basins, chopsticks, bowls, brushes... Carrying shovels, kitchen knives, and Holding wooden sticks, driving pigs, pulling sheep, leading cattle... Calculated in this way, they are mighty... How many so-called moth thieves are there? How many family members are there with them? Who can tell the difference?"

"And such an army with mixed components, like bees and ants, scattered and gathered at times, it is very difficult to command."

Xun Yu narrated his insights...

And this coincides with Liu Yu's cognition.

In later generations, those who have received nine years of compulsory education will definitely learn the reasons for the failure of the Yellow Turban Army.

First, after the outbreak of the uprising, his opponents were not only the huge officers and soldiers of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but also the tyrants from all over the world... What he faced was the crazy suppression of the landlord class anytime and anywhere. In terms of numbers...they don't have the upper hand.

The second is due to internal reasons. The betrayal of the traitors, the disunity of the hearts of the people, and the bloated team made it very difficult for the rebels in various places to cooperate with each other, especially... the influence of Tang Zhou's informant, If Luoyang, where the imperial court is located, can stabilize the situation, the situation in various places will gradually be stabilized.

The third is the limitations of the peasant class, which cannot be assembled and scattered everywhere... If they act in isolation, they will be defeated one by one sooner or later.

Fourth, they are the generals sent by the East China Sea to suppress the Yellow Turban Army, Huangfusong, Zhu Jun, Lu Zhi... the three phantom gods at the end of the Han Dynasty, although they all have a certain degree of character flaws, there is no doubt that they are the ones who lead the army to fight. Hands on!
Just now...

What Xun Yu mentioned was the second and most important point.

To sum up, the Yellow Turban Army's teams are fighting in isolation, overstaffed, slow in action, too big in target, and poor in mobility...

And to deal with it, there are actually only two words - pull!
To deal with this kind of enemy, one wave cannot win, you must repeatedly pull...to consume the opponent.

It's just that the biggest advantage of the big man over the moth thief is that the big man has horses in his army, while the moth thief has no horses in his army!
Liu Yu said with emotion: "With such a bloated team, it is conceivable that an army of 30,000 people may bring 100,000 people's family members, and the family members flee...it is impossible to bring too much food. It costs more than a hundred thousand catties..."

"However, today's big Han is short of food and grains all over the country, and hunger is frequent. Even if you have money, you can't buy food. Wherever the Yellow Turban Army passes, it is like locusts. Whether it is in the homes of the people or planted in the fields, it will be destroyed. They ate and robbed everything, and those who couldn't take them away would burn them all. In this way... it won't be long before the Yellow Turban Army will lose their hearts! And the common people will realize that Huang Tian didn't come to rescue them at all , Huang Tian will bring them into another nightmare!"

Following Xun Yu's words, Liu Yu sighed again and again...

Xun Yu nodded, "The Yellow Turban Rebellion is a peasant uprising in the final analysis. Once they betray the peasants and treat the peasants more cruelly than the original corrupt officials and tyrants, they will become a group of thieves and lose popular popularity... sooner or later they will be defeated. crusade!"

This is the reason for the demise of the fifth point of the Yellow Turban Uprising.

Unexpectedly...after Liu Yu's reminder, Xun Yu eloquently said...

On the contrary, Liu Yu laughed...

He hastily took out the pen and paper... he was about to write something on the paper.

Xun Yu was curious, and quickly asked, "Does Brother Liu plan to write a letter to the emperor?"

"Do not…"

Liu Yu shook his head lightly... Then, he blinked his eyes, "Brother Cao didn't come to look for me, he has integrity and integrity, but as a younger brother, you can't just help him with nothing!"

Well…

Xun Yu thought of something.

Liu Yu's words continued, "Wen Ruo... what we said just now in this Yulin Temple, it's just talk on paper, but if it reaches Brother Cao's ears, it will be very powerful..."

hiss…

Xun Yu nodded.

As Liu Yu said, any rebellion has traces to follow, and after being able to cast aside the layers of clouds and mist and see its original appearance clearly, everything becomes much simpler.

hear here...

Xun Yu stroked his beard, "It seems that you still care about Meng De's side! I don't know... Nanyang, what will happen to Huang Zhong and Wei Yan?"

Well this...

Speaking of Nanyang, Liu Yu thought of something.

Ma Yuanyi...

You know, the whole of Nanyang is the overall layout of the former God Envoy of Taiping Dao. If I can use him for me, then...

Not to mention, thinking of this suddenly, Liu Yu's eyes lit up a little more.

Brilliant brilliance.

...

...

Nanyang, outside a military camp of the Yellow Turban Army, banners are flying...

The banner of "Zhou" is hung high.

The leader here is Zhou Cang, the general sent by Zhang Bao, the "General of the Earth", to Nanyang to help out!
Liao Hua, led by the yellow turban soldiers, stepped here... When he saw the flag, he paused, "Didn't you say to take me to see the 'immediate envoy'? Why did you come to the general's barracks this week?"

The yellow turban soldier hurriedly explained in a low voice: "General Liao, please be safe and don't be impatient, 'Immediately' is in it!"

While talking...the Yellow Turban soldiers led Liao Hua outside a military tent.

Speaking of which, this military tent is also strange. Fifty steps away from it, there are more than [-] yellow scarf soldiers guarding it, standing imposingly...

But the closer it was, the calmer it became... Except for the rustling conversation in the tent, there was no other sound!

And following the announcement of the soldiers, "General Liao Hua has arrived..."

When Liao Hua stepped into it, he saw Zhou Cang, a tall, black-faced and bearded man from Kansai, but Ma Yuanyi, the former envoy of the Taiping Dao... Who else could he be?
"Horse...immediately?"

"General Liao..."

Subconsciously, Liao Hua was about to kneel down, but Ma Yuanyi helped him up.

Liao Hua almost burst into tears, "I will make... you... you are still alive, do you know... how much my brothers miss you, how much I miss you..."

Liao Hua snotted and burst into tears, "Immediately, since you left, the Yellow Turban Army in Nanyang has completely changed. They...they tortured the people, they...they..."

It seems that Liao Hua has infinite grievances in his heart.

"General Liao, I have wronged you..." Ma Yuanyi stood up and patted Liao Hua's shoulder, "Everything will be fine, everything will be fine..."

Tears were rolling in Liao Hua's eyeballs.

Ma Yuanyi's words continued, "General Liao, I have something to ask you, please answer politely... Now that the Yellow Turban Uprising, do you still think that Huang Tian can replace Cang Tian?"

This…

Liao Hua was taken aback by the sudden question.

He turned his head to meet Zhou Cang's eyes, and Zhou Cang's eyes seemed to be full of grievances similar to his.

"God's envoy... Huang Tian... Huang Tian..."

Liao Hua sobbed and opened his mouth...

At this moment, Ma Yuanyi's words were like the last straw that crushed his nerves, making him... unable to believe anymore, what kind of bullshit is "Huang Tian Dang Li"!
...

...

In the Luoyang barracks, familiar training is repeated every day.

No matter how emperor Liu Hong put pressure on Huangfusong, he just stood still.

Every day, soldiers are trained step by step to master basic marching and fighting skills,
Such as... formation, shooting, slashing, tripping horses, dodging, holding shields, etc.

The logistics soldiers also need to train a series of skills in setting up tents, building pots and stoves, and digging trenches. Of course... these trainings are naturally attributed to Cao Cao.

As for the Second Route Army with 40,000 people, the number of logistics troops has increased repeatedly, and in the end it has increased to more than [-] people.

In a short time, Cao Cao needs to train these people to become qualified logistics soldiers!

only…

Cao Cao's training seems to be more demanding than Huang Fusong's. In addition to a series of skills such as setting up tents, building pots and stoves, and digging trenches, Cao Cao personally took them to practice bows, crossbows, slashing, and formation.

It's like...the regular army needs to train well, the logistics army also needs to train, and the logistics army needs to train well...the regular army doesn't need to train!

All of a sudden, the logistics team that was supposed to be more comfortable... turned into a nightmare for the soldiers!
One by one the soldiers complained incessantly.

"The captain of the cavalry was angry with General Huangfu, but he vented his anger when he was with us... What is this? Why should I be angry with him?"

"That's right, I won't be going to ride horses and shoot arrows at tomorrow's hour... I won't be going, so Cao Cao dares to kill me?"

"Hehe...don't underestimate the bravery of Captain Cao Qi, he is very capable...When he served as Luoyang Northern Captain, even Captain Jian Shuo's uncle dared to kill him! If you don't come tomorrow...you won't be safe, I'll put you under military law!"

"This... but... but we logistics soldiers, what kind of archery are we practicing? Is it possible that we still need to go to battle to kill the enemy?"

"Didn't Captain Cao Qi say that? If we don't know how to shoot arrows or hack and kill, if we are attacked by surprise... wouldn't all the food be handed over to the thieves!"

"That's what it says...but..."

At this point in the conversation, suddenly...all the voices stopped abruptly.

I saw Cao Cao riding his horse to the middle of the logistics army. He shouted loudly: "Anyone who doesn't come to practice at tomorrow's hour will be dealt with by military law!"

This scene was just witnessed by Huang Fusong who came here to inspect.

Huangfu Jianshou, Huangfu Song's son beside him, opened his mouth and said, "I can't tell, this Cao Cao still has some ability to command troops..."

"Hmph..." Huangfusong was as stern as ever, "The logistics army doesn't look like a logistics army, hum..."

That being said.

But Huangfusong's eyes seemed to have a little more expression.

As if to say... This Cao Cao seems to be a little different from what he imagined!

at this time.

Huangfusong turned to his son Huangfu Jianshou and said: "Pass down my military order, tomorrow the troops of the five schools Sanhe, all logistics and fortifications, more than [-] soldiers will be dispatched every hour!"

Uh…

Huangfu Jianshou looked at Huangfusong in disbelief, "Recently... His Majesty has urged Father Commander to go out several times, but Father Commander has not moved. How could... tomorrow's logistics army drills, but Father Commander... but... wants to go! Father Commander seems unnecessary... I have to be with Cao Mengde..."

Before Huangfu Jianshou finished speaking, Huangfu Song bowed his sleeves and turned around...

As he walked, he said, "Since Cao Cao trained the logistics army, the enthusiasm of the soldiers in the three armies has increased a lot... Although the soldiers are not well-trained, they seem to have mastered the basic skills and are ready to go to war!"

Speaking of this, Huangfu Jianshou was taken aback for a moment, his eyeballs rolling again and again.

"Then... the reason why the commander-in-chief dispatched soldiers to the logistics army for more than a month is also... is this the purpose?"

"Hehe..." Huangfusong laughed, "In the Second Route Army today, the logistics army is a nightmare school. Anyone who doesn't train hard will be sent to the logistics army. This is more effective than the general's scolding! "

Speaking of here…

Huangfusong looked at Cao Cao again, but he squinted his eyes... This level of light... makes people look at it, full of meaning!

...

...

Cao Cao was shocked when he received the order to launch the army tomorrow.

Who would have thought that this general Huangfu who let the large area of ​​Jizhou fall, unexpectedly... suddenly gave the order to move out tomorrow at Chenshi.

Even... the time of this start is so accurate that it is exactly the same as the time he Cao Cao ordered to practice tomorrow.

It's hard for Cao Cao not to think that he was targeted by General Huangfu again.

He is also drunk.

Whatever he did, Huangfusong would definitely target.

Phew... The anger in Cao Cao's heart was about to surge, and suddenly...he seemed to be relieved all at once.

got used to…

call…

Breathing out another turbid breath, Cao Cao found that he was able to calmly face... Huangfusong's target.

he is relieved...

"Alright, at least... the army will be able to move out tomorrow, isn't that better than anything else?"

Cao Cao sighed with emotion...

It's hard to imagine that once upon a time...he would have been arguing with Huangfusong because of the timing of the army's departure, but now, he can face the same thing so peacefully.

Cao Cao feels...his practice has improved a bit, this can be regarded as... tempering in the army, right?
"Ha ha…"

Cao Cao laughed, "Unexpectedly... As the third brother said, this military camp has benefited a lot, and the subordinates of General Huangfu have benefited even more!"

at this time…

"Report... to the captain!"

A small soldier handed over a bamboo slip, "Yulin Liulang sent someone to pass on this bamboo slip to Lieutenant Cao Qi..."

Well…

In my impression, this was the first time Cao Cao received a letter from his third brother since he joined the army.

It is true...During this period, whenever Cao Cao collapsed, he always thought of his third brother...wanted to chat with him and give him some enlightenment.

But every time, whether he walked out of the barracks or arrived at the gate of Yulin Temple, he held back...

He felt that since it was "practice", then when Cao Cao faced difficulties, he should be able to solve them by himself... The third brother is very powerful, but the third brother cannot be by his side forever!
call…

Cao Cao took a deep breath, he quickly unfolded the bamboo slips, and looked carefully...

And it doesn't matter if it doesn't look...

At a glance...he sharply extracted the most critical part.

— "What's a...'pull...', uh, repeated pull?"

...
