Rich merchants from aristocratic families piled up mountains of rice, grain and money, but the common people did not know what to eat next. Guo Da was accustomed to it. Every time he plundered a place, when faced with these powerful families, after the robbery, he felt an indescribable sense of relief.
When Yingchuan County fell, Liu Bei was in great distress and summoned his generals and counselors to discuss countermeasures.
After many years, Liu Bei also had his own small group, headed by military generals Zhang Fei and Guan Yu. On the one hand, they were his brothers and were loyal enough. On the other hand, the two of them were brave enough to be worthy of all men. They were a banner in the army and could make soldiers more powerful. Good return home; there are relatively few civil servants, only Sun Qian, and all internal affairs are entrusted to him. Sun Qian was still the Yellow Turban bandit who besieged Beihai. The Beihai prefect asked Liu Bei for help, thus relieving the siege of Beihai. Sun Qian agrees with him in the city, otherwise Liu Bei's advisers will be empty.
After occupying Yuzhou, Liu Bei also realized the lack of talents. Managing a place is different from fighting a war. Liu Bei was also half-assed. Although Sun Qian was not good at governing places, he was pushed to the top by Liu Bei. Fortunately, Liu Bei still had the clan clan of the Han Dynasty. The reputation, to a certain extent, brought Yuzhou's aristocratic families closer to it. In the Han Dynasty, Han clan clan members were still very popular.
"Second brother and third brother, Gongyou, our army occupies the land of Yuzhou, and Guo Da leads the Yellow Turbans to wreak havoc. What should we do?" Liu Bei said.
Seeing the calm expression on Liu Bei's face, Sun Qian nodded slightly, his face melting without changing his color.
"My lord, the disaster of the Yellow Turbans has affected the people. Wherever it happened, the people lost their fields and houses. They had no choice but to join the Yellow Turban Army. As a result, the power of the Yellow Turbans became more and more powerful. My lord should have made plans in advance, otherwise the people of Yuzhou It's dangerous." Sun Qian said.
When Liu Bei was an official, he implemented benevolent policies and was deeply loved by the people. It was precisely because of this that Sun Qian followed Liu Bei.
Liu Bei frowned slightly, "Gongyou, there are about hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers, and our army only has more than 30,000 people. How can we resist? We should ask Liu Jingsheng of Jingzhou and Cao Mengde of Yanzhou for help."
Sun Qian objected and said: "My lord, this is absolutely impossible. Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Cao Cao of Yanzhou are both ferocious tigers. If they drive the wolves into the tigers, where should my lord go? On the other hand, although the Yellow Turbans have many troops, our army will not be able to fight without them." Everywhere the Yellow Turban goes, they will plunder powerful families and help the people. When the famous families hear such news, and the lord sends troops to guard the city, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without authorization, how will the famous families in the city choose?"
A light flashed in Liu Bei's eyes, and he secretly cheered in his heart. He didn't expect Sun Qian to have such a clever plan, and he immediately laughed and said: "What Gongyou said is true!"
"Brother, it's just a little yellow scarf. Let me, Lao Zhang, lead five thousand people to take back Yingchuan." Zhang Fei said loudly. Seeing Liu Bei praising Sun Qian, he felt a little unhappy for some reason.
Liu Bei said angrily: "Third brother, please don't be rude and go to the army to attack. Let's listen to what Mr. Sun has to say."
Sun Qian glanced at Zhang Fei apologetically and continued: "My lord, I once heard that General Jia Rong used three thousand troops to resist Han Sui's 100,000 rebels, and then recovered the land of Jincheng in one fell swoop. The method he used was to mobilize the people in the city. Defend the city, strengthen the city defense, and allow the rebels to collapse without a fight. I expected that the Yellow Turbans came from afar and lacked food and grass. As long as they strengthened defenses in the counties along the way, they would be able to resist the Yellow Turbans. long."
Liu Bei glanced at Sun Qian carefully and clapped his hands and said: "In Mr. Sun's opinion, third brother, you lead five thousand soldiers and horses to the Chen Kingdom. Second brother, you also lead five thousand soldiers and horses to Runan County. If the Yellow Turbans invade, , you just need to stick to the city, don't act recklessly, unite the people of the aristocratic families in the city, and work together to defend the city, it will be a great achievement."
Zhang Fei and Guan Yu all worshiped: "No!"
"Especially third brother, you are reckless and leading an army alone. You should listen to the opinions of your generals and not act on your own initiative." Liu Bei warned.
"Brother, don't worry, if the Yellow Turbans dare to come, they will definitely kill him without leaving a trace."
There are two counties and four kingdoms in Yuzhou. Among the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, it is considered a small area. Now that Yingchuan has been lost, the situation seems a bit critical. After Guo Da gained Yingchuan, he sent troops to station at the border of Chen State and Runan, and then began to recruit soldiers. , the number of soldiers jumped to one hundred thousand. Of course, the newly recruited soldiers were neglected in training, and the weapons in their hands were also the weakest. I am afraid that they are not enough even for patrolling the city.
Guo Da is no longer good no matter how much he does.
Thinking of Zhang Fei and Guan Yu's bravery, Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he held on to the city and used his own methods, he would soon be able to train an army again, and then the embarrassing situation in Yuzhou would be alleviated.
Yingchuan County was defeated in January, and Cao Cao and Liu Biao naturally learned that since offending Jia Rong, Jingzhou's business has become sluggish, and the number of merchants coming to trade from various places has gradually decreased. What's even more detestable is that the price of Xianlian in the city is extraordinary. The height provided opportunities for speculative businessmen, and the nobles in the city began to have opinions about Liu Biao.
"Guo Da's Yellow Turban Army defeated Yingchuan County, causing the people to live in dire straits. As a minister of the Han Dynasty, I have the responsibility to expel the bandits." Liu Biao, the leader, looked pitiful.
Kuai Liang understood and worshiped: "My lord cares about the people, it is really a blessing for the Han Dynasty, but the Yingchuan Yellow Turbans are led by Guo Da, and there are 60,000 elite Yellow Turbans in their hands. If they occupy the city, I am afraid that it will be difficult to win. It is better to wait for Liu Bei and the Yellow Turbans to both lose. On this occasion, we sent more troops to rescue, firstly to show that we are a benevolent lord, and secondly, to take advantage of the situation to occupy Yuzhou."
The generals and counselors in the tent were all Liu Biao's confidants, and the contents of the secret discussion would not be spread.
Cai Mao snorted coldly and turned his head away. Since the incident in Xiangyang City, the Cai family and the Kuai family have lost their previous unity and are trying to undermine each other. Liu Biao is secretly happy but also a little worried.
"Mr. Kuai, what should we do if Liu Bei sends someone to ask for help?" Liu Biao asked.
"That's easy. If Liu Bei can capture Yuzhou, he only has more than 10,000 elite soldiers under his command. If he then sends a general to seize Yuzhou, what can Liu Bei do?" Kuai Liang laughed.
"Hahaha" Liu Biao also laughed heartily.
"I've heard that Liu Bei is a relative of the royal family, so I'm afraid there's something wrong with this move," Zhang Yundao said.
Kuai Liang said with a smile: "Liu Bei claimed to be a clan member of the Han Dynasty, but the Holy Emperor did not recognize it. Moreover, he also took advantage of the chaos in Yuzhou and was not strong enough. No one else can blame him."
Liu Biao laughed and said, "Just in my opinion, sir!"
The officials and generals under his command responded one after another, and the army began to move closer to the border of Yuzhou.
The Yellow Turbans occupied Yingchuan County. Cao Cao sent his general Cao Ren to lead 5,000 soldiers to guard Chenliu County. Chenliu was the foundation of Cao Cao and could not be lost. Cao Cao had half of Yanzhou and Qingzhou in his hands. After the people were affected by the disaster, the grain and grass in the warehouse There was not much left, so he had to put away his ambition for Yuzhou. Cao Cao had also experienced the madness of the Yellow Turban soldiers led by Guo Da. To be honest, he did not want to fight with such a madman.
The next day, Cao Cao told the officials about the situation in Yuzhou.
Under Cao Cao's secret control, the Han Emperor issued an edict to Yuzhou to comfort Liu Bei with good words. He said that defending the territory was a hero of the Han Dynasty, etc., which were all lies. As for food, grass, weapons, etc., of course there was no such thing, but the Han Emperor's imperial edict
This still made Liu Bei happy for a long time. He was a clan member of the Han Dynasty. Ever since he joined the army, he had always wanted to serve the Han Dynasty and restore peace and order to the country and the people.
Seemingly echoing Guo Dayao in Yuzhou, the Black Turban Yellow Turbans in Jizhou took advantage of the situation and attacked the city and territory along the way. Yuan Shao was so anxious that he mobilized various troops to suppress the Yellow Turban Rebellion under his rule.
Guo Da occupied Yingchuan for only two months, and the army's grain and grass supplies could not support it. However, Chen Guo also had Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's army in Runan to guard it. It was difficult to capture it. Many battles were fought without success, especially Zhang Fei's army.
Fei Nasi, with hundreds of soldiers, dared to fight alone into the Yellow Turban army. He was so brave that he could not be beaten.
"General, Zhang Fei is defending the city and doesn't dare to go out to fight? Our army is gradually running out of food and grass, what should we do?" In terms of strategy, Guo Fei can be said to be one of the most intelligent generals in the Yellow Turban Army.
"Moreover, Zhang Fei is a man of great courage. He fought against Lu Bu outside Hulao Pass." Guo Fei looked worried.
Guo Dadao: "Zhang Fei is just a warrior. He can be captured in one battle. Changping City has high walls and thick walls, which is a big problem. He ordered the soldiers to curse outside the city. When did Zhang Fei get scolded? Then Changping still has
The entire Chen Kingdom is in our hands, and Liu Bei has occupied Yuzhou in the air, but he has no strong troops to guard it."
"General, Liu Biao's army has appeared around Yingchuan County, and Chenliu County is also guarded by Cao Ren's five thousand troops. If they take the opportunity to attack us." Yu Shan looked worried.
Guo Da laughed and said: "Brother Yu is too worried. Liu Biao and Cao Cao are not easy people. Liu Bei doesn't have many soldiers, so why don't you send someone to ask for help? Cao Cao and Liu Biao also want to take the opportunity to occupy Yuzhou. How can Liu Bei be willing to give in? As long as
If we win a great victory, both sides will stand still. Liu Biao, who has a hundred thousand elites, will only stick to his family property and attack secretly."
Yu Shandao: "Zhang Fei's coming here must have been entrusted by Liu Bei to defend the city. Our army lacks siege equipment and it will be difficult to capture it. Over time, our army will lose all its energy!"
Guo Dadao: "Brother Yu's words are very true. Please come up with a good strategy to defeat the enemy as soon as possible."
Yu Shan did not agree with the style of the Yellow Turban Army. Wherever they went, it was desolate. They only knew how to destroy but did not know how to protect. How could such an army last long? However, after Guo Da occupied Yingchuan, Yu Shan changed his mind greatly, and he also felt that
With the intention of assisting, in troubled times, the military power in hand is the most important. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the world is no longer decided by the royal family, but by various princes who hold great power.
"Don't worry, General. I will definitely work hard to find a way to defeat the enemy and get rid of our army's current situation. However, the soldiers cannot stop the attack on the city." Yu Shan said confidently.
After many battles, the Yellow Turban Army left behind basically elite troops who fought in an orderly manner and dared to sacrifice their lives. The most important thing was that they were tempered by the flames of war so that they were not inferior to the soldiers in the hands of any princes. This is why Yu Shan was willing to serve Guo.
The reason for the great service, as for the recently recruited soldiers, was also Yu Shan's instigation. Attacking the city, human lives will naturally become as cheap as dogs. He is not a pedantic person. As long as the elite of the Yellow Turbans are not lost, they will be able to develop rapidly.
It’s the Mid-Autumn Festival, I wish everyone a happy holiday, eat moon cakes and admire the moon, take a look at the cavalry, and support the cavalry, haha.
