"Is Yingchuan already so dangerous?"
Su Fan asked: "Could it be that even the Imperial Court's imperial guards were unable to suppress the Yellow Turban Army?"
"I don't know about the other routes, but Bocai's army in Yingchuan is indeed extraordinary. General You Zhonglang, we fought several times, but we only maintained a draw. Although we killed ten times the Yellow Turban soldiers, we still couldn't defeat the opponent."
Xi Zhicai also said with some confusion, the power that the Yellow Turban exploded really shocked many people.
They had known that Taiping Road was dangerous before, but they did not expect that it would be so harmful. The local army was no match for the Yellow Turban Army, and they all knew that after all, their armaments were lax and they did not have an advantage in numbers.
But even the Imperial Guard, the most powerful army in the world, could not suppress the Yellow Turban Army, so that was different.
The two sides fought several battles, and the official army was quite fierce, but the Yellow Turban Army was not bad either. Even if it was about to be scattered every time, the opponent would bring out the Yellow Turban Warriors and quickly stabilize the formation.
As a result, the officers and soldiers must also retreat, otherwise they will really be trapped by the million-strong Yellow Turban army, and the only ending will be death.
"It seems that the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai Bocai is indeed a good general." Su Fan said with a bit of surprise. Although he knew how powerful Bocai was, he was still able to suppress the army to this level.
It surprised him a little.
In Yingchuan County, in addition to Zhu Jun's 200,000 forbidden troops, there is also a local army of 300,000 gathered, totaling 500,000.
But they were still unable to suppress Bocai's army, and were suppressed by the opponent instead.
Not to mention fighting with pressure, at least the official army could not repel Bocai's army, and he had to rely on the city to resist.
"Yes, Bo Cai is quite capable of commanding troops. It's a pity that such a talented general turned out to be a thief."
Xi Zhicai didn't know if he meant it with regret or something else.
"How can a beautiful lady like you be a thief?" Su Fan muttered immediately.
"Why is this beautiful lady like you a thief? Brother Ning'an is so talented in literature," Xi Zhicai said with his eyes shining.
When Su Fan heard this, he coughed quickly. He had a terrible literary talent, but he was just borrowing famous lines from later generations.
If you want him to discuss Taoist classics with others, Su Fan is absolutely fine, but he is really not good at poetry.
Of course, he knew so many Tang poems and Song lyrics from later generations, but this stuff was not popular in this era.
"Ahem! Brother Zhicai, I don't know where you are going to go next. Since the army in Yingchuan cannot suppress Bocai, it is still very dangerous there."
Su Fan quickly changed the topic.
"I plan to take my wife and children to Runan for refuge first. After settling my wife and children, I will prepare for the opportunity to take revenge. I have to avenge my father-in-law's family."
"Runan County?"
"Brother Zhicai, if you want to go to Runan County, I think you should forget it. As far as I know, there are more Yellow Turbans in Runan County and the ravages are more serious?"
Su Fan was a little surprised by Zhicai's choice.
"The Yellow Turbans are also raging in Runan?"
"How can it be?"
Xi Zhicai was a little surprised.
"Why is it impossible? Nowadays, the Yellow Turban Army is raging almost everywhere in the world. The Yellow Turban Army has tens of millions of people. Although most of them are mobs and many are just peasants, they have a large number and sometimes have an advantage."
"As far as I know, the number of Yellow Turbans in Runan is several times greater than that in Yingchuan."
"Except for a few cities in the entire Runan County, most of them have probably been destroyed by the Yellow Turbans."
The more aristocratic families there are in a place, the more Yellow Turbans will wreak havoc, because there are more aristocratic families and there will be more oppression of the people at the bottom.
Peasant uprisings were caused by oppression.
Throughout the Shenhan Dynasty, the reason why there were so many Yellow Turbans in the Central Plains was because many people at the bottom were oppressed and could no longer survive.
So when Taipingdao greeted them, almost everyone stood up. Of course, many of them were forced to coerce them.
"this"
Xi Zhicai still didn't believe it. In his eyes, Runan County was one of the largest counties in the world and the hometown of the Yuan family. It should be safer, but he didn't expect that the Yellow Turbans were also raging.
Where in the world can there be peace?
"Brother Zhicai is suspicious, why do I know?"
"Actually, it's a long story."
Su Fan also briefly explained how he was forcibly accepted as a disciple by Zhang Jiao and the base he had set up in Donghai County.
Since he wanted to conquer Xi Zhicai, he naturally had to be magnanimous and show his current strength at the same time.
He has no official position for the time being, so it will be difficult to conquer him, but he can show his strength, and he is still from the Guangling Gao family.
With his family background, it is difficult for him to become a prefect, but it is not too difficult to promote Xiaolian to become a county official.
Especially under the current circumstances, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty had already relaxed his suppression of the local wealthy families and ordered to allow the local area to raise troops and horses to suppress Taiping Road.
This gave local wealthy families the possibility to involve themselves in military power.
People with lofty ideals have all seen the weakness of the Liu family. If the Shenhan court was not weak, how could it have allowed the local big families to organize troops to suppress the Yellow Turbans? Isn't this giving them the opportunity to get involved in the army?
"I didn't expect that Brother Ning'an would experience something like this!" Xi Zhicai sighed after hearing this. He did not doubt that Su Fan might be a thief.
After all, anyone who is not a fool can see that Taiping Dao and the aristocratic families are completely in opposition.
Su Fan came from a noble family and was naturally opposed to Taiping Dao. How could he join Taiping Dao? He was forcibly accepted as a disciple by Zhang Jiao and forced to join Taiping Dao. Xi Zhicai didn't care much.
Instead, he was a little surprised to learn from the other party that such a large territory had been established in the wilderness of Donghai County.
Although a city has not yet been built, it can still become a county governor after managing millions of people.
Xi Zhicai also admired Su Fan's talent.
After all, it is not easy to build such a large foundation from scratch, especially one that can support millions of refugees.
At the same time, he also felt the ambition in the other party.
"Brother Zhicai, if you don't mind it, you can settle your family with me. It will be far away from right and wrong. Moreover, in the land of Xuzhou, there are not many yellow scarves. After Guan Hai left, there will be even less."
"The rest is no threat at all"
"this"
Xi Zhicai was still a little hesitant.
"But are you worried about me?"
Su Fan naturally knew why Xi Zhicai was hesitant.
So he said: "Brother Zhicai, don't worry. As soon as Zhang Jiao is suppressed, I will immediately send troops to suppress the Yellow Turbans around Xuzhou. In this way, I will gain military merit, and then seek the position of governor of Donghai County. In this way, there will be no
Justifiably became the ruler of Donghai Prefecture."
"Brother Ning'an, why did you wait until Zhang Jiao was suppressed before sending troops?" Xi Zhicai heard this and was a little curious.
Generally speaking, if you want to make meritorious deeds, wouldn’t the sooner the better?
