The Yellow Turban Army defeated Yitao City. Three days later, Chu Feiyan also sent news that Gaoyi had been breached and the 20,000 Han defenders had been wiped out.
The whole army was overjoyed and their morale was greatly boosted. The entire Julu County and Changshan County had been occupied by them. The most important thing was that the main force of the entire Jizhou had been annihilated by them. The entire Jizhou had become a cooked duck, just waiting for them to eat.
.
Zhang Niujiao decided to repair in Yitao City for three days, hold a celebration party to reward the soldiers, and also summoned the commanders of the Yellow Turban Army to decide the next strategic direction of the Yellow Turban Army.
Chu Feiyan, Yang Feng, Bai Rao, Wulu, Zuo Mouzhangba, Pinghan, Daji, Sili, Juzai, Fuyun and other Qushuai rushed to Yingtao City.
Then many Qu Shuai came to the Prefect's Mansion to celebrate!
Zhang Niujiao sat at the front and raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Today we can sit in the prefect's mansion and hold a celebration meeting. Commander Lei Gong has made the greatest contribution. Let's all drink to Commander Lei Gong!"
The other commanders raised their glasses to Xu Wei and looked at Xu Wei curiously.
The Yellow Turban Army Qushuai here were all disciples of Zhang Jiao or the Taiping Sect. Only Xu Wei was an outsider. They didn't even know who this Thunder Lord was.
I just knew that he was the first to start an uprising, and he also came up with good things like crowbars, so that they could easily defeat the powerful Wubao, and then even came up with rattan armor and spears. The equipment of the Yellow Turban Army was basically Xu Wei's.
He provided a lot of good things and produced a lot of good things. It can be said that he alone doubled the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban Army.
So they are very curious about Lei Gong, but today Zhang Niujiao not only placed Xu Wei in the first row, but also on the left. Isn't this equivalent to thinking that Lei Gong is the second-ranking commander in the Yellow Turban Army? This makes other people wonder.
Dissatisfied, fortunately, Zhang Niujiao had just commanded the Yellow Turban Army to annihilate the main force of the Jizhou Army, and his prestige was huge, so no one dared to refute Zhang Niujiao's reputation.
Of course, Xu Wei also made great contributions. If he hadn't made the trebuchet, they would not have been able to break through Yitao City and Gaoyi City and completely wipe out the main force of the Jizhou Army, so Commander Qu who was present had no objection.
And Xu Wei was so ignorant that he didn’t even know about all this!
Seeing everyone toasting him, he toasted back: "The main credit goes to the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army. If it weren't for them, we wouldn't be able to hold a celebration banquet here!"
Zhang Niujiao said with a smile: "It also contributes a lot to our soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army!"
The people present were all rough people, and the celebration was really a celebration. Everyone ate meat and drank wine, and it was so lively. For the Yellow Turban Army, even Qu Shuai didn't have many opportunities to eat and drink as much as he did this year, so naturally he didn't
People are hypocritical.
After drinking for three rounds, Zhang Niujiao looked at everyone and said: "We have wiped out the main force of the Jizhou Army. Qinghe, Hejian, Bohai, Pingyuan and other counties behind us will not be an obstacle to us. We only need to send tens of thousands of soldiers.
We can occupy these places, and it can be said that the entire Jizhou is already under our control. I just want to hear your opinions on where we should take our next step!"
Hearing this, the dozens of Qu Shuai who were present all fell silent, thinking about what Zhang Niujiao had just said!
Zhang Baiqi said: "Of course, after occupying the entire Jizhou, we must defeat all the forts in Jizhou!"
Zhang Baiqi said loudly: "When the wise master led us to revolt, our momentum was so great that half of the states and counties in the Han Dynasty were captured by us. It seems that our Huangtian is about to be successfully established.
But at this time, the powerful clans and powerful people from all over the world took advantage of their disciples, old officials and other connections, plus they had money in their hands, to organize their own armies and be enemies of our Yellow Turban Army everywhere. The court, which originally did not have many troops, got the support of these powerful people.
supplies, and soon hundreds of thousands of troops came to deal with us.
Moreover, these powerful local private soldiers also continuously attacked and cut off our supplies, blocking the connection between the various units of the Yellow Turban Army, and then we were defeated by the imperial army one by one. It can be said that if it were not for these powerful nobles,
We established Huangtian Hot Land as early as last year.”
Chu Feiyan said calmly: "But if we continue to encircle and suppress the Wubao of these noble families, we are afraid that we will drive them all to the imperial court. We must know that the power of the noble families in the world is not something we can resist, let alone the need to govern one side.
How will they and us rule the world after they have sinned against the nobles and nobles!"
Zuo Zhuzhangba sneered: "We are all idiots. Do you really think that the rich and powerful nobles will look down on us? Since they can't be used by us, then let them become the source of wealth for our Yellow Turban Army. You must know that there are not many in that Wubao."
With tens of millions of wealth and hundreds of thousands of stones of food, we are now invincible. Isn’t it precisely because of the wealth of these powerful noble families that we were able to obtain 3 million stones in less than a hundred forts?
There are more than a thousand food forts in Jizhou. If they are all conquered, it will be enough to feed the millions of soldiers of our Yellow Turban Army for several years!"
"Are we short of people? No, we are not short of people. There are millions of followers of our Taiping Sect in Jizhou!"
"As long as there is food, we can recruit millions of troops. It will not be easy to defeat the imperial court by then!"
Chu Feiyan said with a cold face: "You are asking our believers to die again. Even our elite soldiers will have a hard time defeating the imperial court without more than ten times the advantage. Now that you are letting the people go to the battlefield, you are not sending them to surrender."
Massacre by the imperial court!”
Zuo Xiaodao: "Hundreds of thousands of people didn't die in Jizhou that year. Why could the Great Master call on millions of people to revolt? It's not because everyone can't survive. If we don't defeat the imperial court, everyone will die sooner or later. It's better to fight."
If you give it a try, at least everyone can have a few full meals!"
Zhang Niujiao saw that everyone was about to quarrel, and immediately said: "The clans must be wiped out. We have to feed millions of believers. Without food, we can only watch everyone starve to death. Since these clans and nobles are our enemies, then
Just destroy them, there’s nothing to say about that.”
"But Jizhou is the hinterland of the Central Plains. Although we have defeated the Jizhou army now, everyone knows that the main force of the Han army is still in Xiliang. The combat effectiveness of those border troops is not comparable to that of Jizhou's county soldiers. If we have been occupying
Jizhou, the imperial court will definitely deal with the biggest enemy among us, and then these elites will be used against us. Although I don’t want to admit it, the imperial court is stronger than us, and there is a high probability that we will not be able to defend Jizhou!”
"And the reason why I came to you today is to discuss with you, find a place where the imperial power is declining, and occupy it as our territory. As long as there is a stable territory, our Yellow Turban Army can develop and grow. Although the Han Dynasty is strong, but he
He has many enemies, and as long as we do not occupy his inner circle, the imperial court will not care about the remote areas."
