Chapter 269 A battlefield spanning hundreds of miles!
And the reason why Zhang Jiao finally chose Qin Yuan.
There are two main ones.
One is that Qin Yuan is an anomaly. There are anomalies to fight against destiny. I have to say that this is the right choice.
The second is that with Qin Yuan's strength, he has huge room for development.
Although Qin Yuan is only one of the thirty-six square can commanders.
However, it is definitely the strongest among all the commanders, and it is an independent force.
Except for Zhang Jiao, I'm afraid no one can suppress Qin Yuan.
Even if Zhang Jiao supports other successors, he cannot be better than Qin Yuan.
In this case, if Zhang Jiao dies and Qin Yuan is an ambitious person, the Yellow Turban Army will fall into civil strife over power struggles.
Finally, after careful consideration, it was decided to make Qin Yuan the second leader of the Yellow Turban Army and Zhang Jiao's successor.
Even Zhang Jiao's two biological brothers are not favored by him.
"What do you think?"
Qin Yuan murmured softly.
The topic turned back again.
This is testing Qin Yuan's overall view.
After all, becoming a qualified leader does not rely solely on strength.
Wisdom is also very important.
"Then let's talk about the limitations and disadvantages of the Yellow Turban Army, and the reasons why it may fail!"
Qin Yuan thought for a while and said.
The uprising of the Yellow Turban Army was already an extremely sensational uprising in history, and it almost overthrew the Han Dynasty.
However, it ultimately failed.
"The first point is, of course, that we missed the opportunity when the uprising occurred and launched the uprising in a hurry. As a result, the insurrectionary armies in various places did not uprising at the same time. There were huge flaws in mutual cooperation, especially the failure of the uprising in Luoyang. We
The Fang rebel army was uprooted, which relieved the Han Dynasty from its worries and freed up its hands to deal with the rebel armies everywhere!"
Qin Yuan said.
The Tang and Zhou Dynasties reported that the Luoyang Uprising failed, and the Yellow Turban Army and internal forces in Luoyang were wiped out.
Otherwise, it will directly shake the foundation of the Han Dynasty's political power.
Just like the Yellow Turban Army Guangzong City, Luoyang is the capital, the center of power politics, and the top priority.
Even if there is no failure, it will cause a huge impact, causing Luoyang to be severely separated from various regions, making it impossible to mobilize troops from various regions.
In fact, this is the situation Guangzong is facing now.
They were beaten outside Guangzong City by the imperial army and reached the point of no return.
Second, once the rebel army in Luoyang of the Han Dynasty was wiped out and heavily guarded, all hidden dangers were completely resolved, and troops from various places could be mobilized to suppress the Yellow Turban Army with all their strength.
"Yes, but it's a pity that this matter has become a fact!"
Zhang Jiao sighed softly.
The failure of this point greatly reduced the success rate of the Yellow Turbans uprising.
But there was nothing he could do. Who would have thought that Tang Zhou, whom he trusted the most, would actually choose to inform.
Even though Zhang Jiao took precautions, he still failed in the end.
"The second point is that the Han Dynasty is still the ruler of the world and controls the most talents in the world!"
"The future figures dispatched this time, Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun, Cao Cao, etc., are all strong generals who are good at fighting. They have excellent troop commanding capabilities, military command capabilities, and various tactical strategies.
application!"
"In this aspect, our Yellow Turban Army is almost completely defeated!"
"I have seen the battles of our Yellow Turban Army. Many of them were defeated by the enemy with a small number, and the weak defeated the strong!"
Qin Yuan continued.
This is the limitation of the Yellow Turban Army.
It is a peasant uprising army.
Although there are many peasants who are willing to follow in the uprising.
However, there are still too few talents.
Although there are many soldiers at the bottom, there are very few generals capable of commanding one side.
That is, thirty-six Fang Qushuai, with some strength and wisdom.
The rest is really unsightly.
This is also the reason why the Yellow Turban Army was very eager to obtain the General Order from Qin Yuan.
However, even with the help of the Military Commander Order and the addition of many military commanders, they were still not as good as the imperial court.
This is true for ordinary military commanders and counselors.
What's more, there are many famous generals in the imperial camp!
Lu Zhi, Huang Fusong, a senior with outstanding ability and high moral standing.
Descendants like Cao Cao and Liu Bei have great reputations and possess the qualities of heroes.
In comparison, the configuration of the Yellow Turban Army is simply pitifully low.
"It really hit the nail on the head!"
"The imperial court is full of talented people, and it is indeed unparalleled by our rebel army!"
"However, with your joining, we can make up for our shortcomings!"
Zhang Jiao said.
Although he possesses powerful spells, he is not very good at leading troops in battle and making strategic plans.
Therefore, a commander or counselor who can coordinate the overall situation is needed to help.
News from Zhao Shuhuai.
Qin Yuan has many famous generals under his command.
Liu Bowen was a counselor who strategized and laid out the world.
Bai Qi has the outstanding ability to lead troops in battle.
Li Cunxiao and Luo Cheng were even more powerful generals with the courage of ten thousand people.
And Han Xin is an all-round talent.
What's more, Qin Yuan had many tiger talismans under his command and gave birth to many first-rate and first-rate generals.
If Qin Yuan leads them to join the Yellow Turban Army, they will be able to make up for the Yellow Turban Army's weaknesses.
"really!"
Qin Yuan nodded.
Not modest at all.
After all, this is the truth.
Moreover, this is also the reason why Zhang Jiao chose Qin Yuan.
Now the two are the number one and number two figures in the Yellow Turban Army.
Think about the future of the Yellow Turban Army.
Naturally, there is no need for any hypocrisy or concealment.
Trust is the basis of cooperation.
"Any more?"
Zhang Jiao asked.
"Point three!"
"The pressure we faced from the Han Dynasty officials and troops from the imperial court was indeed very great!"
"But, what we actually face the most is the armed teams composed of powerful men from all over the world!"
"Behind this are the entire Eastern Han gentry class and landlord class!"
"This is the biggest resistance we face in the uprising!"
Qin Yuan said with a solemn expression.
The gentry class was the cancer of the Han Dynasty.
But we have to admit that most of the power and wealth in this world are in the hands of the gentry class.
If he was an enemy of the gentry class, even the emperor would have to be replaced.
This Yellow Turban Uprising seems to be the lower class's resistance to the rule of the Liu family.
The actual fundamental contradiction is the struggle between the peasant class and the local class.
This has been the case for thousands of years under feudal society.
When wealth and power are only in the hands of a few people, and most people can only work as cows and horses in their lives, conflicts will increase day by day until they finally break out.
Therefore, the Yellow Turban Uprising may seem accidental, but in fact it is inevitable.
Even if there was no Yellow Turban Uprising led by Zhang Jiao, there might still be Niujiao and Horsejiao!
"The Yellow Turban uprising was precisely to overthrow the rule of these forces!"
"This will indeed become our biggest obstacle!"
Zhang Jiao was silent for a while and then said.
The gentry class will become their biggest enemy now and in the future.
However, it was the Yellow Turban Army who chose to attack these nobles and local powerful men and robbed a large amount of wealth.
In the end, it was able to develop so rapidly in the early stages of the uprising.
Otherwise, if it expands slowly, the current size of the Yellow Turban Army may not even be half.
At the same time, many player forces have joined the Yellow Turban camp because after joining the Yellow Turbans, they can burn, kill and plunder unscrupulously.
Even if you know there are huge risks.
However, in the face of huge interests, they are willing to take risks.
In the same way, the same goes for those farmers who cannot survive.
However, due to the cycle of cause and effect, the rebel army attacked the gentry class, which also aroused fierce resistance from the other party. They responded to the imperial court's decree and sent troops to fight against the rebel army.
Nowadays, if you want to occupy a county or a county, you will face not only the government, but also a large number of local powerful people.
From the very beginning, Qin Yuan chose a different path from that of the Yellow Turban Army.
He did not exterminate all local powerful people.
Instead, give them a chance.
This also won Qin Yuan a good reputation.
Facing Qin Yuan's army, many powerful locals did not want to fight Qin Yuan to the end. Most of them were inclined to surrender.
This is also the reason why Qin Yuan was able to capture Shanggu County quickly.
If it were another Yellow Turban Qushuai, even if he had the same strength as Qin Yuan, he would probably have to pay an extremely huge price if he wanted to capture Shanggu County.
After all, with the Yellow Turban Army's style of conduct, no matter whether they surrender or not, they will eventually die miserably, with no way to survive.
If that's the case, why don't they resist to the end?
If you keep resisting, you may still survive.
Failure to resist will lead to death.
Zhang Jiao also understands this truth very well.
But he really couldn't control it.
The Yellow Turban Army from all over the country has everyone joining it. It can be said that they are a mixed bag.
Among them are not only players, farmers, but also some bandits and bandits, in the name of the Yellow Turban Army.
Naturally, they could not do it for the great cause of the uprising, but to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune.
But such a force can develop faster.
After all, money and food are very important in a war.
Who has money?
Who has food?
Isn't it just in the hands of local powerful people?
If you don’t rob them, who else can you rob?
"Now that we have reached this stage, even if we want to unite the gentry class, it is simply impossible to do so!"
Zhang Jiao said to Qin Yuan.
The two sides have become enemies.
At this time, even if they can control the actions of the Yellow Turban Army under their command, the noble class will no longer trust the Yellow Turban Army.
Another point is that just like the gentry class in Youzhou, even if they finally had no choice but to seek refuge with Qin Yuan, they did not think from the bottom of their hearts that this uprising could overthrow the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, even if the Yellow Turban Army changed its attitude towards the gentry, it was impossible to win their support.
"Okay!"
"Then let's talk about the fourth point!"
Qin Yuan didn't care.
Because he had already seen the disadvantages of this when talking to Liu Bowen before.
However, just like the general trend of the world, even if it is discovered, it is difficult to change.
"This is related to the second point!"
"The imperial camp is full of talented people, but the Yellow Turban Army lacks military leaders with strategic minds!"
Qin Yuan looked at Zhang Jiao.
After noticing that he nodded slightly in agreement, he continued.
"The strategic plan for the uprising was not perfect, and the rebel army was not quickly assembled!"
"Now they are operating in isolation in various places, fighting against the imperial army, and there is very little support and cooperation between them!"
"So, it is easy to be defeated by the imperial army one by one!"
"The other thing is that you pay too much attention to the territory you have acquired!"
"Once you capture a city or a place, hold it firmly and never let it go!"
"This has led to head-to-head collisions between the Yellow Turban Army and the imperial army in various places. They are constantly fighting against and consuming each other, competing for strength, financial resources, resources, etc.!"
"But in terms of logistical resources, how can the Yellow Turban Army from all over the country compare to the imperial court!"
Qin Yuan sighed.
The Yellow Turban Army lacked unified command and mutual cooperation, and fought independently. This resulted in the isolation and fragmentation of the battlefield, which was defeated by the enemy's dominant main force.
Do not understand the importance of adopting mobile warfare, guerrilla warfare and other mobile warfare forms when the enemy is strong and we are weak,
Therefore, he was keen on attacking and defending the city. He locked the main force of the rebel army in one place, fought a tough battle with the enemy, and exhausted himself until he exhausted his combat power and was defeated.
These were serious strategic and combat guidance mistakes by the rebels, and they were also the main reasons that directly led to the tragic failure of this vigorous peasant revolutionary war!
Qin Yuan's analysis was very detailed, pointing directly to the shortcomings and weaknesses of the Yellow Turban Army.
This was all thanks to the late-night in-depth communication with Liu Bowen when I came to Guangzong City.
That's why he was able to say it so smoothly and clearly.
After Zhang Jiao heard this, he fell into deep contemplation.
He was aware of these shortcomings, but Qin Yuan explained them in detail this time, which had a huge impact on him.
Perhaps it was these many reasons that led to the failure of the Yellow Turban Uprising.
After all, such a large-scale uprising cannot be caused by just one or two small reasons.
It's all caused by a combination of various factors.
Even the death of Zhang Jiao was the same.
Historically, Zhang Jiao died of illness during the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
However, the Yellow Turban Uprising was not suppressed after Zhang Jiao's death. Zhang Bao, Zhang Liang and other Yellow Turban Qu commanders continued to fight for several months before they were finally eliminated.
There are even many Yellow Turban rebellious parties left in various places. After several years of development, another wave of Yellow Turban rebellion was set off.
A long talk all night long.
The next day.
Zhang Jiao summoned all the generals and decided to appoint Qin Yuan as the Celestial Master of Taiping Taoism, with a status second only to Zhang Jiao.
In addition, he became the general marshal of the Yellow Turban Army and controlled Guangzong and the Yellow Turban Army in various places. All generals and armies were under the jurisdiction of Qin Yuan.
However, this position has more name than real power.
After all, many armies were controlled by the Yellow Turban generals and Qu Shuai, and were even led by them single-handedly.
Even if Qin Yuan is their immediate boss, they will never directly hand over the army to Qin Yuan.
At most, they should obey Qin Yuan's orders.
If you think the order is okay, you will obey it.
"From today on, I will be solely responsible for the war in the Guangzong area, and I hope you will support me!"
Qin Yuan stood up and raised his wine glass, "Here, I would like to toast you all!"
The news that Qin Yuan became the Grand Marshal of the Yellow Turban Army quickly flew out of Guangzong City and even spread rapidly in the worlds of myth and reality.
At this time, Qin Yuan led his subordinates and the generals of the Yellow Turban Army to the top of Guangzong City.
Looking around, there is a terrifying battlefield filled with corpses ahead.
Julu and Guangzong City face each other from a distance.
However, they are hundreds of miles apart.
The area in the middle became the main battlefield where the two armies fought.
