Chapter 131 The source of the Yellow Turbans’ fighting spirit
Liu Jian somewhat didn't understand why Huangfu Song was unwilling to give up the opportunity to do favors. Could it be that he had some personal enmity with Dong Zhuo? Logically speaking, it should be impossible. I didn't hear that there was any discord between them.
Both of them were born in the border counties of Liangzhou. Although Huangfu Song came from a family of famous generals and his family were the mainstays of the border areas, far surpassing Dong Zhuo, after all, in a sense, Dong Zhuo was considered his fellow Liangzhou native.
In the Han Dynasty, didn’t fellow villagers always have a certain degree of personal affection for fellow villagers?
At this time, Cao Cao, who was beside Huangfu Song, spoke.
"General Liu's words are very reasonable. General Dong fought many fierce battles with Zhang Jiao, which weakened the elites of the thieves and depleted their morale. Although they did not achieve any merit, they did have hard work. If there are two lieutenants who will speak on behalf of General Dong,
It will also be a good talk with the world in the future."
Dong Zhuo looked at Cao Cao gratefully and nodded to him.
Huangfusong still didn't speak.
This man is really stubborn.
Liu Jian was a little helpless, but at this moment, he saw Cao Cao wink at him without leaving any trace, and his eyes glanced at Yuan Shu.
Liu Jian understood Cao Cao's intention instantly.
Although he is a lieutenant general, leading a group of children from the capital to participate in the war, such as Cao Cao... But from a practical point of view, how can he really serve as a general for these people?
To put it bluntly, he and Dong Zhuo were just slaves carrying these "second-generation disciples" into battle to make meritorious deeds.
When he said this, Liu Jian had some overreactions.
He remonstrated with Liu Jian again.
History had already gone in another direction. Perhaps it was the effect of butterfly wings that did not allow Zhang Jiao to go to see King Fengdu so quickly.
"Here!"
"Okay, I will present the report together with General Liu to illustrate the difficulties of the war in Hebei!"
He has also been in officialdom for a long time. Now that he has seen the actions of Liu Jian and Cao Cao, how can he not understand their intentions.
Later, Liu Jian sent a large number of detailed troops to investigate Guangzong's situation and found that there was nothing unusual about the Yellow Turban Army, except that Zhang Jiao himself would patrol the city every three days to boost the morale of the Yellow Turbans.
Dong Zhuo saw everything that happened just now. Dong Zhuo remembered this favor with Liu Jian and Cao Cao.
But as time went on, Liu Jian found that the Yellow Turban Army's fighting strength and fighting spirit had not diminished. Such attrition tactics made Guangzong's Yellow Turban fighting spirit stronger, which actually corresponded to four words: Be brave and fearless of death.
.
Of course, in addition to Liu Jian and Cao Cao's kindness, Dong Zhuo also remembered Huangfu Song's cold attitude today.
Cheng Pu replied: "In the past, when we were fighting against the Yellow Turbans in Nanyang, Mo Li beheaded one person and frightened three people away. But Guang Zong, these thieves, alas! Mo Li beheaded one man, but it actually attracted three madmen."
If they come to attack and kill, as time goes by, the soldiers of the army will inevitably become a little weak."
"I didn't expect Guangzong Moth Thief to be so difficult to deal with!"
Whenever Zhang Jiao appears, it is when the morale of the Yellow Turban Army is at its strongest. His own existence is indeed the source of the Yellow Turban's desire for victory in the war.
"I understand. Please try to appease the soldiers. Don't let the bravery of the enemy thieves derail the morale of the army. I will think of ways to defeat the enemy."
…
"Brother Qiu, you have been accompanying Dong Gong on the expedition recently, are you quite tired?" Liu Jian asked with a smile.
"If you treat it as old and decayed, Zhang Jiao is ill."
If Zhang Jue is really alive, then this battle can really be said to be a tough one.
This is the most troublesome aspect of using doctrine to control soldiers.
Although the Han army was all elite and well-equipped than the Yellow Turbans, the opponent's numbers were extremely large, and there were many in the army who were not afraid of the dead. Their combat power was greatly different from when Liu Jian fought against Zhang Mancheng, Zhao Hong and other troops in Nanyang.
Different places.
In fact, Dong Zhuo could have promoted Yuan Shu just now, but Yuan Shu was unwilling to let Dong Zhuo borrow his halo. Now that Liu Jian and Cao Cao have taken over the matter, Yuan Shu will not be able to blame Dong Zhuo again.
"But doesn't Zhang Jiao do the same thing? It's just that every three days..."
…
But it was at this time that Dong Fu, the leading sage in the Han Dynasty, saw some shortcomings.
Yuan Shu didn't want to get involved in Dong Zhuo's affairs. He was just dragged here to listen and remained silent.
"General, if you were Zhang Jiao, facing Guangzong's troops approaching the enemy, what should you do to boost the morale of the three armies?"
Subsequently, the three lieutenants will be stationed on three sides to confront Guangzong's Yellow Turban Army, taking turns to go into battle to weaken the Yellow Turbans' energy and drain their fighting spirit.
Yuan Shu didn't react for a while: "It's not my eldest brother's birthday next month? Deran made a mistake!"
He can ignore Dong Zhuo, but he still has Yuan Shu under his command...
Dong Fu sighed: "It's just because it's too regular, so there's something wrong with it."
"oh?"
Liu Jian said: "If it were me, in order to encourage the three armies, I should eat and sleep with the soldiers and go to the front line in person to boost the morale of the army!"
Dong Fu nodded and said, "That's exactly it."
Originally, Huangfu Song could use this incident to sell Dong Zhuo a favor, but now, Dong Zhuo did not accept his favor at all.
Liu Jian and Huangfu Song jointly wrote a memorial, stating that the difficulties of Guangzong's war in Ming Dynasty could not be overcome in a short time, which could be regarded as an indirect apology for Dong Zhuo.
Today it was Liu Jian's turn to send troops to attack Guangzong. Liu Jian used Sun Jian, Gao Shun and Cheng Pu as the front to attack the south of Guangzong. After a fierce battle, although the three of them achieved great results, they also suffered no damage.
However, the Yellow Turban Army's crazy counterattack in the face of the Han army's offensive left people with lingering fears and it was difficult to resist them.
Cheng Pu came to Liu Jian and said with a wry smile: "The low-ranking official failed to make any achievements, so I asked the general to punish him."
"Jian was away at war, and he wrote to Luoyang for several months. When he heard that Yuan Junhou was celebrating his birthday next month, Jian couldn't be there. He ordered his family to prepare some small gifts and send them to his house. He also asked the family to write a letter, passing down Liu's message to the monarch.
apology."
"It doesn't have to be like this. The moth thieves are fierce and our army has already seen it."
Seeing that Huangfu Song finally relaxed, Liu Jian smiled and said: "General, you are so righteous!"
Cao Cao on the side smiled and said to Huangfu Song: "General, that one is Yuan Gongdao, the captain of Changshui School. He was ordered to command Changshui Camp to assist Lu Shangshu. After Shangshu returned to Beijing, he has been sitting as a general for Dong Gong."
"Then what's wrong with him?"
Liu Jian couldn't remember the specific time, but logically speaking, Zhang Jiao should be dying at this time? But judging from the current situation, he seems to be alive and well.
Hearing the words 'Yuan Gongli', Huangfusong's expression became a little confused.
Dong Fu smiled and said: "This is just my speculation, or it may be Zhang Jiao's plan. He only appears every three days, which further highlights the mystery of his great sage and mentor."
"Appearing every three days is so regular. It seems that he is making some preparations during these three days, or is he sick and can only come out every three days?"
Seeing that Dong Fu was so sure, Liu Jian immediately asked him for advice.
…
Liu Jian rubbed his hands and asked Cheng Pu: "I think in the first battle, all the kings had the upper hand. Why did it decline as time went on?"
Suddenly hearing Liu Jian ask him something, he subconsciously replied: "It's not bad."
"Sir, why are you so sure? Zhang Jiao patrols the city every three days, which is very regular. When the Yellow Turbans see him, their morale is greatly boosted. How can you tell that there is something wrong with Zhang Jiao, sir?"
"Haha, just try it and you will know. I have a way."
After listening to Dong Fu's method, Liu Jian felt quite emotional.
In this world, the biggest nemesis of a magic stick is a magic stick who is older than him.
Colleagues are enemies, which is indeed the correct answer.
