The Black Mountain Army is a Yellow Turban, and the Qingzhou Army is also a Yellow Turban, but now the Qingzhou Army is not entirely in Qingzhou, but part of it has entered Yanzhou. After the Qingzhou part of the Yellow Turban entered Yanzhou, it grew bigger and bigger, carrying
Many Yanzhou people who had captured the counties and villages swept through the big and small Wubao along the way, defeated Rencheng all the way, and killed Zheng Sui, the Prime Minister of Rencheng. Then they moved to Dongping, defeated Kangfu again, and approached Jinxiang County.
Yanzhou is inland, but it does not mean that there is no water source. Within Dongping County, there is a huge lake land, called Onezawa. Because this area is a wetland terrain, it was a wetland in ancient times.
There were human beings living here, and the Yandi tribe lived here at that time. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius even cried because "Lin was hunted in the west" here.
To the northwest of Jinxiang is Ohnoze, to the southwest is Changyi, the seat of Yanzhou, and to the northwest of Dongping County is Jibei Kingdom, and Bao Xin is the prime minister of Jibei Kingdom.
At this time, Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, Liu Dai, is now the first officer in this area, and he has the unshirkable responsibility to take charge of the war preparations against this group of Qingzhou Yellow Turbans. Liu Dai does not know why the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans ran to Yanzhou.
But he knew that if these Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou were not defeated or driven away, Yanzhou would become the next Qingzhou...
Jinxiang was very close to Changyi, the governor's seat in Yanzhou. When the Yellow Turban turned eastward, Liu Dai could already feel the cold blade of the Yellow Turban reaching under his nose.
In the Changyi government office, Liu Dai angrily slapped Bao Xin's letter on the table and said angrily: "This is nonsense! How can it be unreasonable!"
"Ming Gong, calm down..." Upon seeing this, Yanzhou Biejiao Wang Yu stepped forward and asked, "... I wonder what caused Ming Gong to be so angry?"
Liu Dai closed his eyes, took a few breaths, and then handed the letter on the desk to Wang Yu. He originally planned to mobilize Cao Cao to defeat the Yellow Turban bandits, but he did not expect that Cao Cao would turn around and go west, saying that he was serving Yuan Yuan.
Liu Dai had no choice but to give the order to the cavalry. He didn't expect to transfer Bao Xin now, but he couldn't. He only waited for such a letter to come.
Wang Yu unfolded it and read it, and saw in the letter: "...there are millions of thieves now, and the people are in fear. The soldiers have no fighting spirit and are invincible. The thieves are following each other in groups, and the army has no equipment, only money."
It is a little resource, but now it is not as strong as the strength of the beasts and warriors. First, we must defend it. If it wants to fight and cannot attack, it will be scattered. Then select the elite and attack according to its vital points. It can be broken..."
Liu Dai said in a deep voice: "A million ant thieves? How can there be a million? There are more than 30,000 to 40,000 yellow scarf remnants in Qingzhou, just carrying parcels along the way to the head of Guizhou. How many millions? The people are afraid? Why are they afraid? The ant thieves are plundering the countryside.
The county soldiers are huddled in the city, how can they not be frightened?"
The more Liu Dai spoke, the louder his voice got, and he became more and more passionate and angry: "...the place where all the Yangs belong is the position of the king. Anyone who is an official and governs the people, according to the counties and counties, all have Yang as the top.
I respect you as the chief. Your Majesty is in mourning for the current turmoil in the country, the new separation in the country, and the Yellow Turban disaster. The governors of each county are in the position of shepherds. As the chief of the county and country, they do not think about protecting the strangers so that the people can rest and be nourished. However,
They are resorting to military force, clinging to self-protection, trying to be deceitful, and hoping for a false reputation! In the past, someone could kill Qiao Yuanwei, but today he cannot kill Bao Yuncheng, right?"
Wang Yu was silent.
What Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin said in his letter seemed quite reasonable and seemed to be for Liu Dai's consideration, but in fact everyone knew that this was just a shirk.
Let’s not talk about how many Qingzhou Yellow Turbans poured into Yanzhou, but at least it is certain that there are definitely not millions, and there is only one suggestion that Bao Xin put forward in the letter, which is to stick to the city and wait for the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans to ration their troops.
Once exhausted, they will collapse naturally. Then they can be defeated by another pursuit...
If this letter had been written by another county governor who had never led troops in a war, Liu Dai might not have been so angry, but the Prime Minister of Jibei was originally responsible for recruiting and training soldiers under General He Jin.
Position, don’t you know how to fight?
Ordinary soldiers have no rations, of course they have to retreat back to their original counties to repair, but what will the Yellow Turban thieves do if they have no rations? And are the heads of these Yellow Turban thieves really made of sand? What will they do if there is no food and grass?
When the time comes, will you obediently return to Qingzhou? Does Qingzhou have food and grass?
What a joke, the Yellow Turban thieves will only do one thing when they have no food and grass, and continue to rob surrounding counties!
Then these plundered county people had to become the people carried by the Yellow Turban thieves for food rations, and once again ransacked further villages and counties!
If this group of ant thieves is allowed to circulate like this, the hinterland of Yanzhou will be completely destroyed, and nothing will be left!
Well, even if we take a step back, these ant thieves will not rob the county town too far away, but there is Ohnozawa here! Since ancient times, Ohnozawa has been rich in fish and beasts. If the Yellow Turban Bandits really occupy Ohnozawa, okay?
Fishing and hunting replenish the army's food supply, so according to Bao Xin's suggestion in the letter, how long should we hold on to the city?
If the yellow scarf does not retreat for a day, will the city remain guarded for a day?
If we don’t retreat for one month or one year, how can we stick to one month for one year?
Okay, let’s take a step back and say that the city can be defended, and the people in the city can be self-sufficient without having to go out to collect firewood. But what about the cultivated land outside the city? What about the surrounding mulberry trees? Shouldn’t we do this year’s spring plowing?
, is it possible for crops to grow naturally in the fields in autumn? If this year's spring plowing is interrupted by yellow scarves and the autumn harvest is fruitless, how can the people of Yanzhou survive one year and wait until next year to eat?
Liu Dai originally ordered Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin to lead his troops south and flank the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans with him. Unexpectedly, he did not wait for Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin's troops, but instead received such a painless letter. How could he call him that?
Isn’t Liu Dai angry?
Normally speaking, most of the Yellow Turban thieves have never been in a real battle, and most of them are ordinary people. Therefore, as long as they are attacked slightly, they will probably be unable to resist, and then they will be defeated. Then they will continue to drive away the defeated Yellow Turban thieves.
This can basically establish a victory.
Furthermore, the Yellow Turban thieves no longer have the vigor they had when the three Zhang Jiao brothers were alive. They are now mostly carried by desperadoes. They have neither charisma nor much commanding power, so they are not a concern at all. But Liu Dai
But he didn't expect that Bao Xin, who originally thought he was brave enough to take on the task, ended up giving in at this critical moment.
"Now that the time has come, if we don't defeat the ant thieves, how can we resume farming?" Liu Dai walked back and forth several times in the government office lobby, stood still and said to Wang Yu, "If you don't drive, you can hold Dai's staff and go there.
In the north of Jibei, if Bao Yuncheng still does not send troops, we can cut down his sacrificial flag, seize his military power, go south to join up with a certain person, and destroy this ant bandit in Dongping!"
