Chapter 265 Historical plot development and controlling future destiny!
At this stage, after the early barbaric development of the Yellow Turban Army, it has now reached a bottleneck and its expansion speed has slowed down.
Not to mention that the Yellow Turban Army continues to grow rapidly, even if it can maintain its current scale without declining, it has the strength to compete with the Han Dynasty.
However, the side effects of the Yellow Turban Army's brutal expansion began to appear. When more resources and territory could not be captured, internal conflicts gradually emerged.
This is the limitation of the peasant rebel army. It only pays attention to short-term interests and ignores long-term development.
And there are many serious hidden dangers within the Yellow Turban Army.
In addition, the imperial court issued a decree to attack the Yellow Turban Army, and local officials and nobles began to recruit troops to deal with the Yellow Turban Army, and the situation entered a stalemate.
This is becoming increasingly detrimental to the Yellow Turban Army.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the future princes, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Jian, Dong Zhuo and other heroes appeared on the stage one after another and showed their prominence.
After every local government has dealt with the local Yellow Turban Army, most of them will go to reinforce Jizhou and obtain greater achievements.
This puts the Yellow Turban Army headquarters under increasing pressure.
Liu Bei of Zhuo County had millions of troops, which was more than the military force of a county government.
If they go to Jizhou, they can have a big impact on the Jizhou battlefield.
Another point is that Zhao Shuhuai has served under Qin Yuan for so long and is very aware of the combat effectiveness of Qin Yuan's army, and he can defeat any enemy army at will.
If Qin Yuan helps Zhang Jiao, the situation on the Jizhou battlefield will definitely be opened up.
Once Jizhou's predicament is solved, Zhang Jiao ascends to the top and shouts. With the prestige he has established over many periods of time, he may be able to unite the Yellow Turban Army from all over the country and completely unite.
The Yellow Turban Army is distributed in various places, fighting independently and is extremely scattered. The Yellow Turban Army is also well aware of this shortcoming.
"What do you think?"
After listening to Zhao Shuhuai's suggestion, Qin Yuan turned back and looked at Han Xin Baiqi.
"I think the two-front battle plan is feasible!"
"However, I don't think it's appropriate to immediately march to Zhuojun, rush to the aid of Cheng and Deng, and retain Liu Bei's army!"
"If we start a full-scale war with Zhuojun, we will have to dispatch at least more than three million troops. We will also face strong enemies from surrounding areas, and our forces will be besieged!"
Han Xin glanced at Zhao Shuhuai lightly and said calmly.
Just to capture Shanggu County, it took a long time of plotting, all the troops came out, cooperated with various Yellow Turban armies, adopted tactics such as surprise attacks, and it took nearly a month to capture it.
When Qin Yuan's army attacked, Gongsun Fu's response was obviously a little slow, which caused the situation to take a turn for the worse. In the end, only one county and city was left, unable to save the day.
But the Yellow Turban Army in Zhuo County has been eliminated. After a round of reshuffle, the government not only regained control of Zhuo County, but also strengthened its control. There are also powerful forces like Liu Bei, who has more than five million troops under his command.
.
What's even more frightening is that behind it are a large number of player guild groups.
When Qin Yuan goes to war with Zhuojun, he is equivalent to fighting a complete Zhuojun government force, a future princes overlord Liu Bei, and a large number of player forces.
The investment of three million troops is already the lowest budget.
Once the war situation expands or the progress is unfavorable, more troops will be invested in the follow-up.
There was even a Gongsun Zan in Youzhou.
Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan were classmates and good friends. Once they joined forces, Qin Yuan would have to stay out of the way.
It's not worth it for a Zhuojun.
On the contrary, all of Qin Yuan's troops will be trapped in the Zhuojun battlefield.
In this way, they will not be able to launch an offensive against the entire Youzhou.
In fact, it depends on Qin Yuan's purpose.
For example, if it is really for the great cause of Zhang Jiao, and from the perspective of the Yellow Turban Army, it is necessary to hold back Liu Bei no matter what.
But Qin Yuan was not entirely concerned about the Yellow Turban Army.
What he considers is his own future development.
The most important plan is to take advantage of the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion to occupy as much territory as possible.
Instead of killing the enemy!
The strategic purposes are different.
Therefore, Qin Yuan's goal was to capture all parts of Youzhou at the minimum cost.
Otherwise, with the combat power of Qin Yuan's army, he would dare to attack Luoyang, the capital, no matter what the consequences!
But reality does not allow him to do this.
What's more, Qin Yuan controlled a Shanggu County.
But a month ago, Qin Yuan controlled a county.
The territory suddenly increased tenfold, and there were actually many hidden dangers inside. This was the reason why Han Xin left a large number of troops in Shanggu County.
The size of the army has only reached six million.
It is simply impossible to support Qin Yuan and a large force with similar military strength to start an all-out war.
Moreover, because of Liu Bei's special nature, Qin Yuan did not want to have a head-on confrontation with Liu Bei at this stage.
What's more, if the historical plot develops, Liu Bei will go to Jizhou to help Lu Zhi deal with Zhang Jiao.
Why should he attract firepower for Zhang Jiao?
Once Liu Bei leads his army and leaves Zhuojun, then Qin Yuan will attack Zhuojun again, and the price he will pay will be very small.
"Yes, it is not appropriate to march into Zhuojun at this time!"
Bai Qi said.
It's not that you can't beat Liu Bei, but there's no need to waste too much energy on Liu Bei.
This power will affect their expansion plans.
With the manpower and material resources they invested in capturing a Zhuo County, they might be able to conquer most of Youzhou!
Moreover, the Yellow Turban Army of Zhuo County was at a huge disadvantage and could not copy the fighting style of Shanggu County, including internal and external cooperation and siege.
It is better to turn our attention to other counties.
Among the counties in Youzhou, Zhuo County is undoubtedly a tough one. Even if they want to attack, they must be ranked last.
It was even further behind than the Youbeiping County where Gongsun Zan was attacked.
"Commander Qin Qu, we must stop Zhuojun's army, otherwise the Jizhou battlefield will be in danger!"
Zhao Shuhuai said quickly.
"The two generals know their views on military strategy better than I do!"
"Let Liu Bei's army rush to help Jizhou, and I will personally lead one million elite troops to support him. If we encounter Liu Bei on the battlefield, I will definitely not let him go!"
"If there is a chance, I will naturally attack Zhuojun again and cut off Liu Bei's army's logistical supplies!"
Qin Yuan waved his hand, indicating that the discussion has been decided and he is not going to discuss this topic. "You inform the Yellow Turban Army in Zhuo County that if they lose to Liu Bei, they can move closer to us. Once they enter the territory of Shanggu County, Liu Bei will definitely not
Dare to continue the pursuit!"
"Oh well!"
Zhao Shuhuai said, "What about Guangyang County?"
"Don't worry, I will help the Guangyang Yellow Turban Army!"
Qin Yuan said again.
Guangyang County and Zhuo County are completely two extremes!
The Yellow Turban Army in Zhuo County was defeated and was about to be recovered by the official forces!
The Guangyang Yellow Turban Army marched forward with great success, taking over half of Guangyang County and even the only city in Youzhou!
According to the historical process, in the near future, Liu Wei, the governor of Guangyang, and Guo Xun, the governor of Youzhou, will be killed by the Yellow Turban Army!
Qin Yuan's move was just to push the boat along.
After that, Qin Yuan discussed the next strategic plan in detail with the generals.
In the end, Han Xin and Luo Cheng led four million troops to fight on the Youzhou battlefield.
Qin Yuan, Bai Qi and Li Cunxiao led an army of one million to Jizhou to support Zhang Jiao.
Occupy territory along the way and stabilize the foundation.
Rushing to support the Yellow Turbans all the way, across the world.
Supporting the Yellow Turban Army is very necessary and is an important part of Qin Yuan's plan.
What's more, in such a battle that will determine the future of the Han Dynasty, heroes from both camps gather together, and future princes will appear one after another. It would be a pity to miss this big scene.
Qin Yuan's current influence in the Yellow Turban Army is basically within the territory of Youzhou.
The commanders or leaders of the Yellow Turban Army within the territory would more or less give Qin Yuan some face.
It will not be difficult to conquer these Yellow Turbans in the future.
But Qin Yuan's ambition is not limited to this.
Instead, they focused on the Yellow Turban forces in the entire Dahan area.
If the historical process develops, once Zhang Jiao dies and the Yellow Turban Army is leaderless and is surrounded and suppressed by the imperial court, the uprising will definitely fail. Then these Yellow Turban Army are the targets of Qin Yuan.
But if you want to win them over, it's not that simple.
First of all, you must have the prestige to rise up and shout.
Qin Yuan's current prestige and reputation among the Yellow Turban Army is obviously not enough.
That's why he went to the Jizhou battlefield to make his name known and let more local leaders of the Yellow Turban Army know and recognize Qin Yuan.
Not to mention other things, with the current size of the Yellow Turban Army, even if one tenth of it is taken over by Qin Yuan, he will become the second largest force after the imperial court, or even the second Zhang Jiao.
Of course, Qin Yuan did not want to become Zhang Jiao, he only wanted to occupy the land of Youzhou, develop steadily for a few years, and wait for the collapse of the Han Dynasty and the rise of all heroes.
If the development of the plot is different from the history, if Zhang Jiao can really overthrow the Han Dynasty, then Qin Yuan will be made a marquis and prime minister because of his merits.
However, the possibility of this is very low.
In the following days, Qin Yuan did not immediately launch military operations. Instead, he made some internal military adjustments and eliminated all potential dangers.
For this reason, there were no less than a hundred families and more than a thousand officials who were exterminated by Qin Yuan.
These are all people with different intentions and still maintain contact with external forces.
Moreover, in addition to eliminating hidden dangers, doing so is also a bloody method of deterrence.
Because before Qin Yuan captured Shanggu County, he needed to take some gentle measures to make the local government and family forces surrender.
But now, he is telling them who the real master of Shanggu County is. Qin Yuan has the power of life and death over them. If he does not want to exterminate the clan, he must be obedient and cooperate with Qin Yuan's orders. Otherwise, he will face terrible consequences.
as a result of.
After this operation, not only did Qin Yuan reap another fortune, but it also brought a lot of internal stability. All family forces worked hard to cooperate with Qin Yuan's orders.
Liu Bowen also arrived at Shanggu County and brought some bureaucratic talents with him.
These are all things he has personally cultivated over the past six months, coming from a poor and low-income family.
On the one hand, they replaced previous officials, controlled some important bureaucracies, and implemented Liu Bowen's decrees.
On the other hand, they do not have any power background and are able to work as officials. They all rely on Qin Yuan, so they are naturally loyal to Qin Yuan.
Also, it can restrain these noble classes.
"My lord, Cheng Zhiyuan and Deng Mao, leading 300,000 remnant troops, have fled from Zhuo County into Shanggu County to join us!"
"Liu Bei's army did not pursue, but retreated hundreds of miles to keep a safe distance from us!"
In the city lord's palace, Liu Bowen said to Qin Yuan. "According to reports from players, Liu Bei sent Guan Yu to lead a million vanguard troops to the Jizhou battlefield!"
"It seems to be pretty much as predicted!"
"Liu Bei has no intention of starting a full-scale war with us!"
"Then there's no need for us to provoke them!"
"I believe it won't be long before Liu Bei's focus will shift to Jizhou!"
"Even if we have the ability to invade Zhuojun by then, the opponent's army will be deep in the Jizhou battlefield and it will be difficult to return to defense in time!"
Qin Yuan nodded slightly.
Cheng Zhiyuan and Deng Mao, the two commanders, did not die in the hands of Guan and Zhang.
This is extremely important.
It also means that part of the game plot can be changed.
Otherwise, Cheng and Deng will die in the hands of the Guan and Zhang brothers, which will become a stepping stone for them to become famous.
But now they are not dead and have taken refuge with Qin Yuan.
Both sides maintained restraint and no war broke out.
In other words, as long as Cheng Zhiyuan and Deng Mao did not commit suicide to challenge Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, they would not die in their hands.
"The historical plot can really be changed!"
Qin Yuan murmured.
In fact, Qin Yuan has already experimented with this.
At least some small details can indeed be changed.
As for the general direction, such as the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it is the general trend and cannot be changed at all.
Of course, maybe Qin Yuan does not have this ability.
But he himself is an anomaly.
Historically, when the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, there was no Yellow Turban commander named Qin Yuan.
"If I fully support Zhang Jiao, will I be able to help him overthrow the Han Dynasty?"
Qin Yuan asked.
It's not that Qin Yuan wanted to help Zhang Jiao establish a peaceful and prosperous age.
But to break this so-called general trend of the world!
This is also a consideration for his future.
After all, if history goes forward, Cao, Liu, and Sun will definitely be divided into three parts of the world in the future.
Then wouldn't Qin Yuan become their stepping stone?
Perhaps he could at most replace Gongsun Zan and become a northern prince, and eventually be defeated by Yuan Shao or Cao Cao?
After all, anything is possible.
Maybe the great magician 'Liu Xiu' will come and destroy Qin Yuan, then who can he ask to reason?
Before, Qin Yuan might have been considering one city and one county.
But now, he must focus on the entire world and the future trends.
He is an anomaly, and I don’t know how far he can go on this path!
If the outcome of the Yellow Turban Rebellion cannot be changed, then the subsequent historical drama cannot be changed either?
That means that Qin Yuan's fate has long been determined.
"Lord, if you really have this idea, maybe you can try it!"
Liu Bowen looked at Qin Yuan. "You and I are anomalies in our existence and do not belong to this era!"
"But now that we are here, we must never give in to fate again!"
"Besides, if you don't give it a try, how will you know the final result!?"
Liu Bowen said.
What he and Qin Yuan discussed most was not government affairs.
It is the general trend of the world.
At least so far, it's pretty much the same as in history.
However, the timeline and plot development, even if a certain node is affected, will be slowly corrected and continue to advance in the direction of history.
Just like the consciousness of heaven in this world, it is constantly being repaired!
But if historical development is to be followed, it will definitely be unfavorable to Qin Yuan. He will definitely change everything and control his destiny in his own hands!
"Well, it's necessary to try!"
"But not now!"
"Our current strength is not enough to change the general trend of the world by ourselves!"
"But if there is an opportunity, I will definitely seize it!"
A flash of light flashed in Qin Yuan's eyes! "I will go to Jizhou tomorrow. The main forces of the two camps will gather here. That is the most important thing. If there is a breakthrough, it must be there!"
