"As expected of Taiping Road, worthy of Zhang Jiao!"
Looking at the seemingly endless Taiping congregation in front of him, Li Shushi sighed sincerely. Liu Bei and Lu Bu were still standing beside him. They had already arrived at the south gate of Zhuoxian County.
"Yes, it is worthy of being the number one sect in the world that His Majesty personally conferred. It is indeed very powerful."
Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh. This is not comparable to those so-called masterpiece TV series and movies. There are tens of thousands of real people standing in front of him. There is no PS or various shooting techniques. It is completely used.
The numbers overwhelm you.
Only Lu Bu didn't feel anything. Although Ding Yuan's state governor's work was not going well, he was able to recruit more than 10,000 troops regardless of his rights as governor or his other official position of Cavalry Commander. And in Hanoi where he was stationed
The county was one of the most prosperous counties in the Han Dynasty, with a population of up to 100,000 households, which ensured the efficiency of Ding Yuan's recruitment. As an important general under Ding Yuan, Lu Bu had long been accustomed to such scenes.
At this time, Gongsun Zan, the magistrate of Zhuoxian County, had already come out. Zhang Jiao brought so many believers this time, which greatly eased the tension in Zhuoxian County and stabilized some people who were restless because they heard that the aliens were coming.
. Even thinking about it further, if Gongsun Zan can lead these people to reinforce the governor, then obviously his future will be brighter.
Seeing Gongsun Zan and Zhang Jiao talking about their friendship at the gate of the city like old friends, Li Shushi felt that Liu Bei next to him was smelling jealous, and all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred burst out at that moment.
Gongsun Zan and Zhang Jiao did not delay any longer. They quickly walked into the county town side by side. It is worth noting that at this time, Zhang Jiao was followed by several congregants wearing similar clothes to him. The first two people even looked like Zhang Jiao.
Similar, presumably it should be his two younger brothers: Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang.
Putting aside the transaction between Gongsun Zan and Zhang Jiao, we continue to tell the story that the protagonist and Liu Bei have to tell (dense fog).
"These Taiping Taoists should be here to help us defend the city, but the number seems to be a bit too large." Liu Bei, Li Shushi and others continued to watch the believers who had begun to set up camp.
"It's hard to say, but if these people go to fight with the Karasuma people in the wild, it will be worse. The Karasuma people are good at riding and shooting. If these people fight with them, they may not survive. You can't send a few to each city.
Thousands of people. Besides, these people are just a group of ordinary people who have just put down their farm tools. They have no equipment and no training, so what can they do on the battlefield?"
Lu Bu analyzed the usefulness of these people in front of him from a professional perspective.
"Have you noticed that these people all have yellow turbans tied on their heads? Could this be the secret magic of the Taiping Taoists?" Liu Bei's eyes are definitely 6.0.
"Yellow Turban?" Li Shushi was secretly surprised, and then looked at the Yellow Turban cultists in the distance with a complex expression. He now fully understood Zhang Jiao's purpose. Zhang Jiao was beginning to prepare for his rebellion.
Although the Yellow Turban Army in the game has low personal strength and low growth, it can be called the lowest overall quality except for a few units that cannot attack. But there is an unchangeable fact that the Central Plains has been peaceful for too long.
Over time, most of the county soldiers are a group of guys with no combat experience at all. No matter how strong your personal ability is and how high your growth is, if you can't upgrade without experience, you are still a waste. And the Yellow Turban Army has experienced the baptism of the battlefield.
Then you can use the level and number of people to completely abuse the opponent.
If combined with the magic that Zhang Jiao learned from the Nanhua Immortal, it is no wonder that in the early days of the Yellow Turban Uprising, all the troops except Nanyang Road, where the leader Ma Yuanyi was killed, were making great progress. But when the Central Army and the Frontier Army intervened
After the double blow of Zhang Jiao's death from illness, the Yellow Turban Uprising was quickly extinguished, leaving only a few remnants who continued to resist.
In fact, this is inevitable. Zhang Jiao's creation of the Yellow Turban Army is already a side effect. If he really recruits tens of thousands of regular troops, even the light infantry with the weakest attack power, I am afraid the court will go crazy.
Now, although the Karasuma cavalry is indeed strong enough, with Zhang Jiao and the brothers behind them, I am afraid that the combat effectiveness of these Yellow Turbans cannot be underestimated.
After breaking up with Liu Bei, Li Shushi told Lu Bu all his conjectures on the way home, hoping to use Lu Bu's experience to analyze the probability of success of this approach.
"I can only say that Zhang Jiao is indeed a genius. As you said, even the soldiers under the governor of Bingzhou and the prefect of Hanoi mostly only performed simple tasks of suppressing bandits. As for those who often dealt with foreign races,
No, it’s not something that can be mobilized easily.
Otherwise, the borders of Han Dynasty will be wide open. It can be said that as long as the early battle loss rate of the Yellow Turbans is not too high, then the final result of the Yellow Turban Army can only become stronger as the war progresses. The only variable is probably the strength and generals of the Central Army.
There is a difference in quality.”
Lu Bu thought seriously for a long time before finally giving him this pessimistic ending. Of course, the Yellow Turban Uprising led by Zhang Jiao failed on these two points in history. The Central Army is indeed the elite of the Han Dynasty, and they succeeded
was suppressed because of the sharp increase in combat power.
The expansion of the Yellow Turban Army led to a rapid decline in average quality. The three great generals of the Han Dynasty also strategically successfully contained the Yellow Turban Army from all three directions. It can be said that except for Dong Zhuo, who did not know what he was thinking, the Central Army of the Han Dynasty was the largest army of the Han Dynasty.
The last light burst out.
"Little plum." With a warm greeting, Li Shushi saw a long-lost figure - Uncle Tian.
Speaking of which, Uncle Tian’s whole family has joined the Taiping Road, and they have all moved to Wei County in Jizhou. I am afraid that he came back this time to join the war as a member of the Yellow Turban Army. I just don’t know why he came here this time.
Are you planning to revisit your old place or have something else to do?
"Uncle Tian, you are fine. How is your health and your family? How are you doing in Taiping Road?" Li Shushi had already developed a professional-level smile in the grocery store, although it was not as good as Liu Bei's.
It is naturally refreshing, but it also makes people feel instantly friendly. Perhaps this smile cannot fool those professional politicians, but these ordinary people can indeed catch it.
"Okay, okay, it's rare that my little brother is thinking about it. Speaking of which, I thanked you very much that day. The little master next to Zhang Daxian even praised us. Now I am also a young handsome man in Taiping Road. Speaking of which, there are still
It’s all thanks to my little brother.”
"You're welcome, you're welcome. Uncle Tian, you are such a kind person and willing to work hard. Taipingdao is so generous that he would be derelict in not promoting you. Now that you are well, Uncle Tian, you can help more people."
"Thank you Ji Yan. Speaking of which, I have something to do with my little brother this time." Finally getting to the point, Li Shushi curled his lips secretly.
"Our elder Zhang Sanxian mentioned you for some reason. I hope you can go to the inn to sit down if you are free in the evening."
Uncle Tian explained his purpose, but Li Shushi was a little strange. Zhang Liang invited him, which was a bit abnormal. Why not Zhang Jiao? It stands to reason that Taiping Dao has not rebelled, and is still the religious group respected by the emperor. Zhang Liang
Jiao's identity is not sensitive either. Wait, it's sensitive. Could it be that Zhang Jiao is hiding something?
Li Shushi felt that he seemed to have grasped something, but seemed to lack some necessary clues. In the end, he could only shake his head and put it aside.
"Please reply to Zhang Sanxian, I will definitely visit you in the evening."
After talking about family affairs and customs for a while, Li Shushi said goodbye to Uncle Tian. When Li Shushi returned home, Lu Bu had already returned. Speaking of which, Lu Bu and Uncle Tian didn't know each other, so Uncle Tian didn't care about Lu Bu leaving first.
But at this time Lu Bu showed his talent as a soldier.
"I just asked about it. Zhang Jiao's actions this time were quite public. Not only did Zhang Jiao himself go in and out of the homes of local powerful people many times, it is said that he received a lot of donations. Several Yellow Turban senior officials even contacted various people in Zhuo County.
Rice merchants and weapons stores are discussing the purchase of weapons, armor and military rations."
"Zhang Jiao's younger brother Zhang Liang is going to invite me to go for a while tonight. Then you can accompany me." Li Shushi also told Lu Bu some of the information he obtained during the chat with Uncle Hotan, but Lu Bu knew nothing about these things.
There was nothing he could do about it, and he could only say that he would try his best to protect Li Shushi's personal safety.
"Zhang Jiao, Zhang Jiao, are you still the person with beautiful ideals?" Li Shushi murmured to himself as he looked at the back of Lu Bu who was preparing for the evening trip.
