"No idea. Although the Han Dynasty is declining day by day, its control over the local area is getting less and less!"
"But this world is still the world of the Han Dynasty, the world of the gentry group!"
"In the past few days, the number of troops in the imperial camp has increased instead of decreasing. The number of troops reinforced from all over the country has exceeded at least 10 million!"
"And this number is still not rising!"
Bai Qi showed a rare look of solemnity.
Looking at the whole world, the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out in its early stages and swept the entire Han Dynasty with lightning speed.
The development momentum of the Yellow Turban Army is very fierce.
But when the imperial court reacted, it sent troops to suppress and put out the fire.
After the party was lifted, the power of local governments was released, and the authority to recruit soldiers was lifted. The strength of various places surged and began to curb the development of the Yellow Turban Army.
After a period of stalemate, the Yellow Turban Army began to decline from prosperity. On the contrary, many prototype warlords emerged in the imperial camp and became increasingly powerful.
If they want to continue to develop, that force can only attack the Yellow Turban Army.
During this period, many powerful forces emerged.
Among them, Liu Bei from Zhuo County is the biggest winner.
You can imagine that Liu Bei, who had no official position and was just an ordinary person before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, quickly rose to become one of the largest 'princes' forces today, controlling millions of troops under his command.
The sons of officials and officials are treated as equals.
Logically speaking, it would take many years of development for Liu Bei to have such qualifications.
However, the players' influence has taken refuge in Liu Bei, which has accelerated this process.
In fact, with the current development of the world situation, the sudden rise of Qin Yuan, and the participation of players, the direction of history has been greatly shifted, and it is heading towards an unpredictable path.
Also benefiting from it were Cao Cao, Sun Jian and other forces.
There is even a saying among the people that they agree with the possibility of Qin and Han competing for hegemony.
But it is not believed that Qin Yuan can replace the Han Dynasty and establish a new dynasty.
Instead, it will accelerate the arrival of troubled times and enter the era of feudal hegemony ahead of schedule.
Everyone admits that Qin Yuan is indeed very powerful, with the help of top famous generals and powerful combat units.
However, if you are not afraid of opponents who are like gods, you should be afraid of teammates who are like pigs.
Compared with the imperial camp, the Yellow Turban camp where Qin Yuan belonged was really far behind.
With Qin Yuan's power alone, it is difficult to change his fate against the will of heaven.
The greatest possibility is that in this Yellow Turban Uprising, the imperial court and the Yellow Turban Army fought to the end, both sides suffered losses, and directly entered the chaotic world of feudal princes competing for hegemony.
This is not only what all player forces want to see, but also what the noble class wants to see.
They hope to reshuffle the cards and eventually form a new dynasty after a round of power struggle.
They did not want the Han Dynasty to continue, or for Qin Yuan to take over the Han Dynasty and replace it.
That would be the worst outcome.
The situation is turbulent on the surface, and the game behind the scenes is also very thrilling.
Therefore, they did not want to see any party emerge with absolutely overwhelming strength, nor did they want to see the Han Dynasty collapse so quickly. This was not in their interests.
After all, future princely forces such as Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have just begun to develop.
If the Han Dynasty collapsed at this time, they would not be able to fight against the Yellow Turban Army with their strength.
Now we still need to rely on the power of the imperial court, and we cannot just focus on our own development like before and put the imperial court in danger.
At least, a delicate balance must be maintained.
This is one of the reasons why it was so smooth for Lu Zhi to recruit elite soldiers and talents from various places.
"I thought it was our opportunity, but now it seems that it is an opportunity for the imperial camp to develop!"
Qin Yuan frowned. "Is there any good way!"
After taking control of the Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Jiao handed over almost all his rights to Qin Yuan.
Therefore, he is very clear about the current situation of the Yellow Turban Army.
It can be said that the Yellow Turban Army has reached its peak period.
If nothing unexpected happens, it will continue to go downhill until it is defeated by the imperial court and headed for destruction.
"The only way to break the situation is to unite the Yellow Turban Army from all over the country!"
"Otherwise, the development of our forces alone will not be able to compare with the multiple forces behind the imperial court!"
Li Jing on the side analyzed, "Since we are fighting for the world, the power needs the participation of the entire world, not just one power can accomplish it!"
Today, Qin Yuan's fame, strength and status have also reached their peak, and are known to the whole world.
Even everyone knows that Qin Yuan's strength is very terrifying.
But don't forget, Qin Yuan only occupied one Shanggu County not long ago.
Even now, it only occupies two counties.
There are more than one hundred counties in the thirteen states in the world.
Proportionally speaking, it only occupies a few tenths, and it is still in Youzhou, a border territory.
Unlike those fertile lands in the Central Plains, the population and resources are not even comparable to that of a county in the Central Plains.
It can be said that his achievements are comparable to those of the Yellow Turban Army. Without the Yellow Turban Army, just relying on his troops and territory, he would have been destroyed by the imperial court long ago.
But now the Yellow Turban Army has placed all its hopes on Qin Yuan's hope. This is undoubtedly a huge task.
It was enough to make Qin Yuan breathless.
If Qin Yuan can survive this period, he will indeed gain tremendous power and control the entire Yellow Turban Army.
But once he cannot withstand it, the Yellow Turban Army will fall apart, and his previous efforts will be in vain, and everything will be in vain.
"Unite the Yellow Turban Army from all over the world!"
Qin Yuan murmured softly.
This is what he has always thought.
If we look at the scale of the Yellow Turban Army in the entire world, it is indeed very large. It has spread to the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, and they have fought against the imperial forces, and they have fought back and forth.
But the only disadvantage is that they are too scattered and fight independently, unable to carry out overall command. Otherwise, the combat capability of the Yellow Turban Army could at least be doubled.
The most important point is that most of the teleportation arrays are controlled by the imperial camp.
Only county-level cities have teleportation arrays.
But it is extremely difficult to capture a county.
In places where there is no teleportation array, it is difficult to get in touch with the Guangzong headquarters for mutual assistance in materials or military matters.
"This is a good idea!"
"This is also our current breakthrough point!"
"Be able to open up the situation from other places and establish an advantage!"
Bai Qi thought for a while and said.
"Yes, my lord!"
"Now Guangzong Julu, either we don't want to fight, or we have to fight a war worth hundreds of millions of dollars!"
"No matter which side wants to start a war, they must be very cautious!"
"But we are engaged in other battlefields!"
Li Cunxiao said.
He became excited when he heard about the possibility of war.
These days, he was assisting Bai Qi and Li Jing in reorganizing the army and training soldiers.
As for these things, Li Cunxiao had no interest at all.
As a fierce general, his favorite thing is naturally fighting.
The battle a few days ago was a heart-warming battle with the fierce generals of the imperial camp. It was really great.
But after that battle, it was difficult to get another chance.
Even small-scale wars no longer occur.
"Can!"
Qin Yuan thought about it and felt that this method was indeed feasible.
Open up the situation elsewhere.
As for one side of the Guangzong battlefield.
The troops in the imperial camp were all huddled inside Julu City.
The battlefield with a radius of hundreds of miles was even more deserted.
It is impossible for Qin Yuan to lead millions of elites to attack Julu City, which is guarded by hundreds of millions of troops.
If you want to win this war, you must rely on the power of the Yellow Turban Army.
Relying on your own strength alone can only produce miraculous results.
But the final victory or defeat still depends on the overall strength.
"The two camps are now on the battlefield!"
"The first major battlefield is naturally the Jizhou battlefield, mainly concentrated on Guangzong and Julu!"
"The second battlefield is the Yingchuan battlefield in Yuzhou, where the Yellow Turban Army led by Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang is located. At the same time, Yingchuan is also the gathering place for many wealthy families!"
"Although Zhang Jiao does not have very strong military talents, he still knows the importance of Yingchuan!"
"If we can capture it and gain the support of a large number of families and talents, or cut off the supply of this part of talents, then the current situation will be different!"
"Unfortunately, this strategy did not succeed!"
Bai Qi said regretfully.
"Do you think the Yingchuan battlefield will be the first to open up the situation?"
Qin Yuan pondered.
"No, if it were before, maybe it could be used as a breakthrough!"
"But not now!"
"The best opportunity has been missed!"
"The aristocratic families in Yingchuan have united to fight against us and the Yellow Turban Army!"
"If we put our troops into the Yingchuan battlefield now, the best result would be to reach a stalemate just like the Jizhou battlefield!"
Bai Qi shook his head. "Similarly, for any large-scale battlefield, even if we send elites there, it will be difficult to achieve a strategic victory for a while!"
"The third battlefield should be regarded as the Youzhou battlefield!"
Bai Qi added, "The situation in Youzhou is left to General Han Xin. I believe in his strength and ability. In addition to having to face Liu Bei who may lead his army to return for reinforcements, and when he attacks the eastern part of Youzhou, he will encounter the factional forces behind Gongsun Zan.
Other than that, there shouldn’t be much of a problem, so we won’t get involved!”
"For the rest, we can start from Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Jingzhou!"
"The scale of wars in these places is not as good as the top three battlefields!"
"And once our army joins, with its strong strength, it can change the war situation!"
"While the imperial court has not yet reacted, quickly win the battlefield!"
Bai Qi said.
Although it is necessary to help the Yellow Turban Army in other states and counties, it is also very important to choose the target of help.
Not every local Yellow Turban Army deserves help.
Moreover, in such a large-scale map, you can only choose those Yellow Turbans with teleportation arrays.
If we were to march on foot, then the war would probably be over and the army would not have arrived yet.
"Do you have any good suggestions for candidates?"
Qin Yuan asked.
Because this is your first attempt, you must be careful.
After all this will determine the feasibility of this strategy.
If it fails the first time, it will dampen the enthusiasm of our own side and greatly increase the confidence of the imperial camp.
"In line with the goal of support, I have selected a few!"
"Zhang Mancheng from Nanyang in Jingzhou, Peng Tuo from Runan County in Yuzhou, and Bu Si from Yanzhou"
Bai Qi said.
Obviously these days, his focus is not only on the Yellow Turban Army in Guangzong City, but also on the situation of the local Yellow Turban Army.
Previously in Shanggu County, they did not have such high authority and could not obtain information about the Yellow Turban Army in other places. After all, this was considered confidential information.
But after Qin Yuan became the general marshal of the Yellow Turban Army, the status of Bai Qi and others also increased.
They have access to many previously confidential documents.
And the several Yellow Turban Qushuai he mentioned are not unknown little people.
But the Thirty-Six Square Daqushuai is very powerful.
Even before Qin Yuan arrived at Guangzong City, their strength was no weaker than Qin Yuan's, and they also occupied more than one county.
His status in the Yellow Turban Army is even higher than that of Qin Yuan.
These Yellow Turban Qushuai were personally trained by Zhang Jiao and were given extremely high status and financial support. At the same time, their abilities were also very outstanding among many Qushuai.
"Zhang Mancheng, Peng Tuo, Bu Si!"
Qin Yuan watched Bai Qi place a map on the table.
On the map, the power distribution map of the Yellow Turban Army and the imperial camp is marked.
Today, almost one-third of maps are marked with red areas.
The red area includes the territory occupied by the Yellow Turban Army and the area where war broke out with the government.
However, the imperial camp still occupies the majority of the territory.
At the same time, there are some larger dots marked on it, which represent the teleportation array.
Qin Yuan took a quick look and found that except for Youzhou and Jizhou, there were only fifteen teleportation arrays occupied by other states.
In other words, fifteen county-level cities were firmly controlled by the Yellow Turban Army.
Compared to the counties and cities controlled by the imperial camp, there were too few.
But Qin Yuan also knew very well how difficult it was to attack a county.
For example, if Guangzong's Yellow Turban Army has millions of troops and attacks for a month, they may not be able to capture it.
Most of these counties and cities were taken down in the early stages of the uprising before the local officials could react.
If a normal war breaks out, with both sides attacking and defending, it will be difficult for the Yellow Turban Army to attack a county.
After all, not every Yellow Turban Army has the strength of Qin Yuan's army.
At the same time, most of the Yellow Turban Army were peasant armies with very backward weapons and equipment, not to mention some large siege equipment.
It is for this reason that the Yellow Turban Army and the Guangzong headquarters in many places are in a state of "lost contact". Apart from information exchange, they are unable to provide personnel and material assistance to each other.
"Master, where are you going to start?"
Bai Qi asked.
Although we are prepared to open up the situation from other places, we certainly cannot mobilize all the troops.
One is that the cost of teleportation is too expensive, and Qin Yuan cannot teleport without restraint.
Second, although the war in Jizhou has calmed down, it may break out at any time. Once Qin Yuan's army is found to have left to support other areas, who can guarantee whether the imperial army in Julu City will take the opportunity to launch a war.
