The 200,000 young men of the Yellow Turban Army were gathered together. First, they were given three meals a day to maintain their health, and at the same time, they were given the most basic formation training. It is believed that each of them trained thousands of people, and taught them simple formations without requiring them to be able to practice.
How powerful the fighting power is, but at least it can create the momentum of an orderly army of ten thousand people!
After 10 days of simple training, the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army could barely do what was ordered and forbidden. Equipped with simple iron spears, rattan armor, and rattan shields, the Yellow Turban Army soldiers instantly looked like a regular army.
Then the 200,000 Yellow Turban Army soldiers were divided into four teams, each with 50,000 people, and attacked the Wubao near Linzi. With the crowbar as a magic weapon against Wubao, the wealthy nobles in Qingzhou quickly realized that their counterparts in Jizhou
The pain, these gangsters cheated!
In less than a month, more than 30 forts around Linzi were breached. The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army seized more than 5 million stones of grain, more than 10,000 sets of leather armor and other weapons, as well as gold, silver and jewelry worth hundreds of millions.
The money was transported to Guishan by Yu Du and others. It can be said that the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army has completely turned over from serfdom!
Bao Xin and the others' prestige among the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army increased greatly, and even Yu Du began to obey Bao Xin's words.
The noble families around Linzi were massacred by the Yellow Turban Army, which frightened other noble families and hurriedly hid in big cities like Linzi. At the same time, they gathered at the Qingzhou Governor's Office and asked the Qingzhou Governor Jiao Heqing to hand over the Qingzhou Yellow Turban thieves and avenge them!
Jiao Heben, the governor of Qingzhou, was a scholar, and many of them were his close friends. Naturally, he would not refuse the requests of these wealthy nobles, so he led 20,000 Qingzhou troops to encircle and suppress Du.
It's a pity that Jiao He is a celebrity with great ambitions and little military ability. Such a person has nothing but fame.
However, he didn't realize it, and even the Guandong clan had the habit of despising military commanders. He had no ability to lead troops, and he couldn't work together as a team and act as a teammate. He directly led the 20,000 Qingzhou army into Yu Du's trap.
Among them, 200,000 Yellow Turban Army soldiers surrounded the Qingzhou Legion and finally annihilated them all. Jiao He himself was also hacked to death by Yu Du.
After the main force in Linzi was completely wiped out, Yu Du took the opportunity to capture Linzi City.
Linzi City was one of the few large cities in the Han Dynasty. The capture of such a city shocked the entire Han Dynasty, and the name of Yu Du caused a stir in the entire Han Dynasty. This victory announced that the Yellow Turban Army, which had been dormant for more than a year, was once again thriving!
After receiving the Linzi arsenal, Yu Du's strength skyrocketed, and he did not listen to Bao Xin's idea of closing in when the situation was good and building a base area.
Instead, he led the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army to divide the troops and attack the counties of Qingzhou, hoping to completely capture Qingzhou while all the princes in the world were at war with Dong Zhuo!
Yu Du felt that the city was better than the remote mountainous area, not to mention that now that he felt that he had a crowbar and Linzi arsenal in his hands, his strength was no longer the same. He felt that he should take this opportunity to strengthen his hand.
Yellow Turban Army.
Bao Xin was speechless. You already have millions of followers, and you still want to grow bigger. How can you support so many people?
You don't even have the basic officers. No matter how large the army is, it will still be a bunch of rabble. And you don't have the talents to manage the government. What's the use of occupying the entire Qingzhou? You can't get food and grass! I really want to get money and equipment.
, wouldn’t it be better to attack a small Wubao!
Although in Bao Xin's opinion, farming is the way to go, Yu Du doesn't want to use such a method. He thinks it's too troublesome. It's not as refreshing as he is now to attack the city while the iron is hot. Taking over the entire Qingzhou is no better than Guishan Mountain.
.It's a pity that Yu Du didn't know that even if he, a traitor, occupied the city, he wouldn't be able to collect taxes. Such a city would only be a waste of their troops.
Bao Xin had no choice but to take the veterans of the Tengjia Army back to Guishan, build a base and train soldiers according to the methods he learned in Mayi, and at the same time find ways to open up wasteland for farming.
Now the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou is not the only one of the big men to be active. With the support of Xu Wei's crowbar and the veterans of the Tengjia Army, the entire Central Plains Yellow Turban Army finally opened the technology tree to attack Wubao.
These Yellow Turban soldiers may not be as large in number as Yu Du and others, but there are still tens of thousands of them. They cannot defeat the princes with tens of thousands of troops like Cao Cao, but they can surrounded the Wubao of a noble clan.
As a result, the powerful gentry of the Central Plains clan began to suffer misfortune. It was the first time that they faced weapons like crowbars. The Yellow Turban Army from all over the country stopped attacking cities and instead attacked the oil-rich Wubao. Unprepared, they suffered heavy losses.
The Han Dynasty's city may not have thousands of stones of grain in its warehouses, but as long as a Wubao is built, the food will not be less than 100,000 stones, and the money will not be less than tens of millions. It can be said that conquering a Wubao is better than conquering a county.
The city will make a lot of money, and the food and grass obtained will be enough to feed tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Army soldiers for several months. After conquering two or three forts, they will have enough food for a year.
Since Xu Wei was sowing Mars, the Yellow Turban Army has blossomed all over the Central Plains, and the banditry in the Central Plains has become more than 10 times more serious.
In less than a month, hundreds of forts were breached, and hundreds of wealthy nobles and powerful families were massacred. Such killings shocked the gentry throughout the Central Plains. The wealthy nobles finally could no longer look at the war between Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao indifferently.
They are now somewhat afraid of troubled times. It turns out that in troubled times, not only the people will die, but their entire families will also die!
If everyone beats Dong Zhuo, even his hometown will lose its security!
So one of them began to contact the Kwantung Allied Forces in Suanzao, asking them to bring troops back as soon as possible. If they don't come back, their hometown will not be occupied by the Yellow Turban Army. Many people wrote letters and went to Luoyang. They asked Yuan Huai to negotiate peace with Dong Zhuo. Even
The Prime Minister of Liang State and Chen State came directly to Dong Zhuo for help, asking Dong Zhuo, the Prime Minister of the General Assembly, to protect them!
For a time, the entire Central Plains began to call for peace and not war. If the Han Dynasty does not fight the Han Dynasty, if everyone wants to fight, they will fight the Yellow Turban bandits!
Seeing their letter asking for help, Dong Zhuo couldn't stop smiling!
"God is really helping me. The Yellow Turbans broke out again in the Central Plains, and this time the Yellow Turbans were very powerful. It is said that they have broken through hundreds of Wubao fortresses in the Kanto clan. The entire Kanto clan was killed by the Yellow Turban Army and their blood flowed like rivers.
They did what I didn't even dare to do. They are indeed the Yellow Turban rebels. I felt happy when I heard the news. Now you know the consequences of betraying the Prime Minister of your country!"
Tian Yi read these letters asking for help, thought for a while and said: "Prime Minister, I'm afraid this is the fault of Bingzhou Thunder Lord! The Wubao in the Central Plains is not that easy to break, and the Yellow Turban Army has been fighting for several years without much effect.
, how can it be possible to suddenly be invincible and invincible? Only Lei Gong’s crowbar can have such an effect on Wubao. I’m afraid there is the shadow of Lei Gong behind these Yellow Turban Army!”
Dong Zhuo smiled and said: "The Thunder Lord is really my lucky star. Killing these powerful nobles in Guandong is what I have wanted to do for a long time, and now Lei Gong helps me to do it!"
Tian Yi said solemnly: "The person in charge of the Han Dynasty now is the Prime Minister. If Lei Gong's power begins to spread throughout the Central Plains, it will also be a huge threat to the Prime Minister. What are the Prime Minister, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao fighting for?
Could it be that he was making a wedding dress for Mr. Thunder?
Lei Gong's current power is huge enough. If he unites the entire Yellow Turban Army and takes over the Central Plains states, he can easily recruit millions of troops. I'm afraid that no matter the prime minister, Huangfu Song or Yuan Shao, they will not be able to resist Lei Gong.
army!"
When Dong Zhuo heard this, his face became serious. No matter what the outside world said, Dong Zhuo was a treacherous minister or a rebellious minister, but Dong Zhuo definitely didn't want the great man to perish in his hands. Thunder God was becoming more and more powerful and dangerous, and he wanted to restrict him.
It's a shame for Thunder Lord, otherwise he would really make a wedding dress for Thunder Lord.
"It seems that the power of our old friend has reached a point where it has to be restricted! Now we have made peace with Yuan Wei and the others? Will Yuan Wei agree?"
Tian Yi nodded and said: "Yes! Yuan Wei is impatient now. It is said that there are also yellow scarf thieves in Runan County. Yuan Huai's hometown is almost in danger. He definitely wants to negotiate peace with the country!"
"As long as we make peace with the Kwantung Allied Forces, Prime Minister, you can lead them to first annihilate the Yellow Turban Army in the Central Plains, and then unite the power of the entire Han Dynasty to annihilate the Lei Gong in Bingzhou. With this achievement, the Prime Minister will be famous in history and his achievements will shock the world. When the time comes, Yuan Wei
They won’t dare to betray the Prime Minister!”
At this time, Jia Xu on the side said: "If the Prime Minister wants to negotiate peace with Yuan Shao and the others, he must first defeat Cao Cao and the others, otherwise Yuan Shao and the others will not be convinced by the Prime Minister. At the same time, the large number of Kwantung Allied Forces will not be conducive to the Prime Minister's control of the military!"
Dong Zhuo now has almost 130,000 troops, and the Kwantung Allied Army now has about the same number. If the peace is negotiated like this, the Kwantung Allied Army will account for more than half of the Han army. If Huangfu Song is included, Dong Zhuo will not even occupy half. Military power is unstable.
How could he dominate the world? Especially after experiencing this war against Dong, Dong Zhuo valued the military power in his hands even more.
Dong Zhuo solemnly said: "Yes, the Kwantung Allied Forces did not forget to eat. They were kind to them at first. They restored the titles of Dou Wu and others, allowing famous people in the world to become high-ranking officials in the Han Dynasty. Xun Shuang went from a commoner to a high-ranking official in less than half a year.
The Three Dukes of the Han Dynasty also agreed with the officials they recommended one by one. It can be said that none of the powerful officials of the Han Dynasty were as generous as Ben Xiang. Ben Xiang wanted to rule the world with them, but they wanted to kick him away and dominate
Tianxia! I want to teach them a profound lesson!"
The next day!
Dong Zhuo summoned all his generals and said: "The situation in the Central Plains has changed. The truth is that you must attack the jujube within 10 days!"
Li Jue and others shouted loudly: "In the direction of the Prime Minister, we will definitely conquer Suanzao and chop off the heads of Cao Cao and others!"
Just kidding, although the Xiliang army fought a few battles when they came to the Central Plains this time, their reputation was all gained by Lu Bu, a Bingzhou guy.
The God of War in Bingzhou is so loud. The person who wants to be called the God of War should also be the confidant of the Prime Minister like them. Who does Lu Bu mean!
So after they heard that they were going to attack the Kwantung Allied Forces, they were all very excited. They had long wanted to show off their prestige.
Dong Zhuo saw that each of his men were actively fighting and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, okay, with warriors like you here, why worry about the injustice of the world!"
Only Lu Bu was worried and said: "Prime Minister, we only have 40,000 troops, of which 10,000 are cavalry. Only 30,000 troops can really attack Suizao, and Suizao is related to the 40,000 Eastern Allied Forces. Cao Cao and Bao Xin are also veteran generals. Although
Their morale is low, but if they really want to attack the city like this, I'm afraid our army will suffer heavy casualties and the subsequent war will be difficult to fight!"
Li Jue heard this and immediately mocked: "You are still the God of War in Bingzhou. I didn't expect it to be done by a powerful foreigner. Now without King Hongnong, you can't even attack the city!"
When the others heard Li Jue's sarcastic words, they all burst out laughing!
King Hongnong is also an important reason why they are not convinced by Lu Bu. Most of the 16 cities that Lu Bu conquered were surrendered as soon as King Hongnong shouted. The real cities that Lu Bu attacked were only 4. And they were all
In a city with not many troops, Li Jue and the others felt that they could do whatever they wanted, so they naturally thought that Lu Bu was taking advantage and taking away their credit.
Of course, there is also a conflict between the Xiliang Army and the Bingzhou Army. In fact, Lu Bu should be grateful to Xu Wei. It is because of Xu Wei that the Bingzhou Army became Dong Zhuo's subordinates two years earlier. Now they enjoy the treatment of confidants, and Dong Zhuo can really rely on him.
It is their 60,000 Xiliang Army and Bingzhou Army.
"Are you trying to find trouble!" Lu Bu looked at Li Jue angrily!
Not to mention that once Lu Bu stood up, his height of over nine feet was very oppressive!
Hua Xiong immediately stood up and wanted to cheer Li Jue!
But at this time, Dong Zhuo said angrily: "You are so outrageous, you don't even see the truth in your eyes!"
Several people immediately knelt down and said: "The prime minister must atone for his sins!"
Dong Zhuo looked at them and said: "A group of guys who don't know how to adapt. Now even the Yellow Turban thieves in the Central Plains know how to use crowbars to attack cities, but you haven't had this idea yet. It's a shame that you have stayed with Lei Gong for several years.
!I thought I would bring thousands of crowbars from Luoyang City this time, so you don’t have to worry about not having enough when attacking the city!"
Lu Bu looked ashamed at this time. He really didn't think of using a crowbar! After all, Lei Gong used it once when he attacked Yanmen Pass, and it was not the crowbar that really broke through Yanmen Pass, but Lei Gong's thunder method. Lu Bu
Naturally, I didn’t think of using crowbars to attack the city!
After the explanation, Dong Zhuo ordered: "Li Jue and Hua Xiong, you two, lead your troops to attack the east gate of Suizao!"
Li Jue and Hua Xiong went out to salute and said: "No!"
"Zhang Ji, Li Su, you two lead your troops to attack the south gate!"
Zhang Ji and Li Su came out and said: "No!"
"Lu Bu, lead your troops to attack the north gate!"
Lu Bu came out and said: "No!"
After Dong Zhuo's order was issued, the generals led their troops to the city gates they wanted to attack!
Li Jue and Hua Xiong led their troops to attack the east gate of Jujube, Zhang Ji and Li Su led their troops to attack the south gate, and Lu Bu led Gao Shun and Zhang Liao to the north gate of Gongde. They attacked the three gates together, and the battle was fierce.
They all used their elites and crowbars to constantly pry open the jujube city!
Cao Cao, who was on the Suizao city wall, didn't understand what was going on at first, but when he saw the bricks of the city wall being pried open, he screamed in horror: "Everyone used wood and rocks to smash these Xiliang troops to death.
We can’t let them continue to pry it off!”
The Kwantung Allied Forces of Jujuba have been preparing in the city for a month. The most indispensable thing is all kinds of materials to defend the city. For a while, what was dropped from the Jujube was either wood or huge stones. The soldiers who were trying to pry the city wall bricks under the Jujuba were smashed.
, can only escape! The three parties can only stop this wave of attacks first!
Dong Zhuo saw this scene and said helplessly: "It seems that the crowbar is not invincible!"
Jujube is close to the sewer water, and there is a moat more than three feet wide. Because of this moat, the method of digging trenches cannot be used, unless the water source is cut off to cut off the water in the moat, but this cannot be completed in a short time!
When Li Jue saw that the crowbar had lost its effect, he simply attacked. His men were all flying bear soldiers, with strong defensive armor. They could continue to study the city even with their bows and arrows. Hua Xiong, on the other hand, led his men and kept shooting at the people on the jujube city with bows and arrows.
The Kwantung Allied Forces wanted to help Li Jue contain the soldiers above.
Zhang Ji and Li Su were in the same situation. One soldier restrained the soldiers on the Jujube Mountain, while the other used a ladder to continuously attack the city!
And Lu Bu said seriously to Gao Shun and others: "The Xiliang army has always discriminated against us. Today we are going to lose our face in front of the Prime Minister. Today we are going to be the first to break the jujube and let the Prime Minister."
Look at the bravery of my Bingzhou army! I will attack the city in person later. You lead the enemy camp and follow me to attack the city. Wenyuan leads the bow and arrow battalion to suppress the soldiers on the Jujube Mountain!"
Gao Shun and Zhang Liao said: "No!"
At this moment, the war drums were beating again. In an instant, Lu Bu and the others could hear the shouts of killing not far away. It was obvious that Li Jue and the others were attacking the city again!
Lu Bu held a leather shield in one hand and a sword in the other. Not to be outdone, he said: "We are coming too!"
Gao Shun arranged the sword and leather shield in his hand, nodded and shouted: "Kill!"
Other soldiers trapped in the camp also shouted: "Kill!"
Lu Bu and Gao Shun charged at the front line, and the bow and arrow in Zhang Liao's hand were perfect. Any officer of the Kwantung Allied Forces who dared to poke their head out would be killed by him. The original offensive of the trapped camp was so fierce that the rebel soldiers defending the city were unable to withstand it.
Now even low-level officers have been sniped to death by Zhang Liao.
The defenders of Suanzao Beicheng kept asking Cao Cao and others for help.
Cao Cao had no choice but to continuously mobilize his reserves to the north of the city. He ordered Bao Xin to lead his soldiers to support here. Under Bao Xin's charge regardless of the cost, Lu Bu and the others were driven off the city wall!
After only one day's attack, Suizao's defense was crumbling! Cao Cao was like a firefighter, constantly supporting Suizao's walls!
This fierce attack lasted for a day, and Dong Zhuo waited until dark before retreating his troops!
After the battle, Bao Xin lay next to Cao Cao and gasped: "If the Xiliang army attacks like this next time, we may not be able to hold it for five days! Will Yuan Shao come or not?"
Cao Cao smiled bitterly and said: "I was initially indecisive. He was worried about being attacked by Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army. The only one we can rely on is ourselves!"
Bao Xin smiled bitterly and said: "We can't go on fighting. Our morale here was not high before. Now everyone knows that our hometown will be occupied by the Yellow Turban Army. No one is willing to fight Dong Zhuo. Zhang Miao and the others are already preparing to escape!"
After thinking for a while, Bao Xin said: "Mengde, we'd better prepare to escape! Otherwise we will really die here!"
Cao Cao said helplessly: "Now that we have a city to rely on, we are no match for the Xiliang army. If we leave the city, we will probably be massacred by the Xiliang cavalry! Now we can only do our best to obey fate, and be worthy of our conscience."
sufficient!"
But Bao Xin was unconvinced and said: "This is a war between Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo, but now we are required to die, but Yuan Shao himself is hiding aside and does not even dare to come to rescue us! What kind of role model is this in the world? Will anyone believe it in the future?"
Yuan Shao’s words!"
Cao Cao could only smile bitterly. Since the Yellow Turban Army broke out in the Central Plains, he was keenly aware that Dong Zhuo and the Yuan family might be negotiating peace.
Because Yuan Wei may not care about the losses of the Kansai clan, but it is impossible not to care about the casualties of the Kanto clan. This is the foundation of Yuan Wei, not to mention that their Kwantung coalition forces were suppressed by Dong Zhuo. If all of their main forces fought against Dong Zhuo,
If the light is gone, the Central Plains will really become the world of the Yellow Turban Army. It is better to let Dong Zhuo continue to be in power. Dong Zhuo is still a minister of the Han Dynasty, but the Yellow Turban Army wants everyone's life!
Cao Cao and the others didn't rest long!
The next day, the sound of war drums sounded again!
The soldiers from the trapped camp, led by Lu Bu and Gao Shun, roared like thunder. Hundreds of ladders were set up on the city wall of Zizao. The soldiers from the trapped camp swarmed up and rushed to the city wall!
Bao Xin kept shouting: "Shoot arrows, throw rolling stones, and throw logs. Don't let the enemy climb the city wall!"
The soldiers kept doing things according to Bao Xin's words. Many soldiers would even hit their own people because they were nervous. There were too many recruits here, and they would make mistakes when they were nervous!
But fortunately, the defenders kept shooting arrows, and they kept throwing rolling stones and logs from the city wall. The soldiers who were trapped in the camp were killed by these rolling stones and logs one by one.
Zhang Liao shouted to his soldiers below the city: "Suppress the rebellion on the city wall, don't let them show up, shoot them to death!"
After saying this, Zhang Liao shot a Sima of the Kwantung Allied Forces!
Lu Bu rushed at the front. He used his agility to avoid the falling logs and boulders. He jumped several steps nimbly and would soon be on the city wall!
The soldiers on the city were surprised and shouted: "There is a man here, shoot him!"
Lu Bu immediately shrank his body and blocked himself with a leather shield!
"Boohoo!" The dense long arrows on the city tower hit his shield at close range, and many of them even hit Lu Bu. If Lu Bu hadn't been wearing iron armor, he would have been killed by thousands of arrows piercing his heart.
.
Lu Bu waited for a while, and after finally running out of bows and arrows, he stepped on the ladder, using his hands and feet together, and instantly climbed ten feet higher and climbed onto the wall of Jujube!
Lu Bu said angrily: "I am Lu Bu from Bingzhou. If you don't want to die, just come here!"
After saying that, he threw away his leather shield, picked up a sword, and the two swords flew up and down, killing all the soldiers around him!
A commander of the Kwantung Allied Forces shouted: "Kill him!"
The soldiers around him continued to rush towards Lu Bu and surrounded him tightly!
