The reason for choosing Zhang Mancheng is actually very simple.
Even among the thirty-six Fang Qushuai, Zhang Mancheng's strength is among the best.
He is an important leader in the Yellow Turban Army.
Moreover, at this time, Zhang Mancheng had already led the Yellow Turban Army to break through Nanyang County and killed Chu Gong, the prefect of Nanyang.
Most of Nanyang County fell into Zhang Mancheng's hands.
If historical development were to follow, Zhang Mancheng would have been killed by the new Nanyang Governor Qin Jie, leading to the failure of the Nanyang Yellow Turban uprising.
Qin Yuan only needs a little help from Zhang Mancheng to help him capture other counties in Jingzhou, completely sealing the fate of Zhang Mancheng and the Nanyang Yellow Turban Army.
Moreover, Jingzhou is far away from Luoyang, so the court's control is relatively low.
This is more conducive to the Yellow Turban Army taking over this territory.
Like Youzhou, it gradually encroached and eventually became the base area of the Yellow Turban Army.
"Although Zhang Mancheng has captured Nanyang County, he was besieged by the powerful Jingzhou gentry!"
"The pressure is huge!"
"The situation is the same as that of most of the Yellow Turban Army. They are in a stalemate with the imperial forces!"
"It is a situation of opening high and moving low, but once the status quo cannot be maintained, the overall situation will collapse!"
After Bai Qi saw Qin Yuan's decision, he reported the situation in Nanyang County one by one.
Today's Yellow Turban Army has reached a peak.
According to the historical plot, this is the peak of the development of the Yellow Turban Army.
But this time is very short.
After that, it will just keep going downhill.
However, due to the emergence of Qin Yuan, it is possible to break this trend and even take it to a higher level.
"I understand everything else!"
"However, due to the confrontation between the two camps of Julu Guangzong, I cannot dispatch too many troops this time!"
"Let Li Cunxiao lead one hundred thousand elites and join me in the expedition!"
Qin Yuan said.
As a peerless warrior, Li Cunxiao naturally had to be taken with him.
Whether it's a battle on the battlefield, a duel in front of the battlefield, or siege a city, he is the best choice.
After all, the people he led this time were all cavalry, and there was no powerful siege army.
Once a city is encountered, only Li Cunxiao's combat power can be used to quickly defeat it.
As for the army.
Because of the battlefield in Jizhou, too many troops could not be mobilized.
Otherwise, the imperial camp will take advantage of it.
A more important reason is that interstate transmission is very expensive.
Even if there are 100,000 people, that is still 100,000 taels of gold.
And this is a one-way fee.
Qin Yuan will need to support other places in the future, or return to Guangzong City.
Naturally, if you can save a little, save a little.
After all, one hundred thousand taels of gold can support a million soldiers for more than a month.
Now that Qin Yuan has become the Grand Marshal of the Yellow Turban Army, although he does not need to pay for all the daily expenses of the entire Yellow Turban Army.
But even if it is a small part, it is an astronomical figure.
Even the number of troops in Guangzong City alone exceeds the total population of the territory he occupied in Youzhou.
Although I have made a lot of money in the past six months, I have also collected a lot of supplies.
But after the war broke out, daily expenses were very high.
Moreover, the war will not end in a while, and will last at least a year and a half.
Wars are fought over money and resources.
Once there is no money, no matter how powerful the army is, it will completely collapse.
Today's Yellow Turban Army and the imperial court, it just depends on who can hold on longer.
And this time to support Jingzhou City, Qin Yuan himself naturally wanted to go with him.
After all, only he, as Zhang Jiao's personal Grand Marshal, has the right to command all the Yellow Turban Army.
After arriving in Nanyang City, Qin Yuan was able to take the dominant position facing Zhang Mancheng.
But if it were anyone else.
Even if they are extremely famous generals like Li Cunxiao or Bai Qi, their prestige and status in the Yellow Turban Army may not be greater than that of Zhang Mancheng.
In this way, once disagreements arise, internal conflicts can easily occur.
Even though the two of them were conferred as generals and general staff officers by Qin Yuan, their rights came from Qin Yuan.
The reason why the Yellow Turban Army in Guangzong City obeyed their orders was because of Qin Yuan's existence.
And without Qin Yuan, their rights would disappear together.
"This matter needs to be kept secret!"
"We must not let the imperial court be on guard!"
"Before the court reacts, kill them by surprise!"
Qin Yuan said, "First, secretly contact Zhang Mancheng and ask them to block the good news in advance and mobilize the army to be ready for battle at any time!"
The purpose this time is to help Zhang Mancheng conquer the city and break the deadlock locally.
Although Zhang Mancheng captured Nanyang County, he did not control the entire Nanyang County.
At the same time, it was also attacked by the local army united by the local government and Jingzhou's powerful forces.
"good!"
"Then when will your lord decide to set off?"
Bai Qi asked.
Nowadays, all forces have been watching Qin Yuan's every move.
Because of this, Qin Yuan rarely shows up these days.
But once he appears, the court will definitely guess that Qin Yuan may make a big move and take precautions.
As a result, the war in Nanyang may not develop smoothly.
Therefore, in addition to keeping Nanyang secret, it is also difficult to bypass the numerous informants in Guangzong City and go to Nanyang City.
"tomorrow!"
Qin Yuan said.
Now that you have made a decision, you must take action as soon as possible.
In such a short period of time, the court was unable to react.
"Guangzong City will be left to you two!"
Qin Yuan looked at Bai Qi and Li Jing and said solemnly.
Once he leaves, Guangzong City may not be as stable as it is now.
Zhang Jiao delegated power to Qin Yuan and now not only seldom shows up, but also doesn't even care about things.
Therefore, once Qin Yuan and Li Cunxiao leave, all important tasks will fall on Bai Qi and Li Jing. This will also be a huge test for them.
Even though Qin Yuan began to control the Yellow Turban Army, in fact, the power of the Yellow Turban Army was complicated and chaotic, and there were many unstable factors in it.
In the past, even Zhang Jiao could not completely control these Yellow Turbans.
Now that Qin Yuan is around, at least some people with evil intentions will not dare to have other ideas.
But once it is discovered that Qin Yuan has left, all kinds of demons and monsters will be exposed, causing all kinds of destruction, and even uniting the forces of the imperial camp to take the opportunity to cause chaos.
If it is not handled well, it will affect the overall strength of the Yellow Turban Army.
Moreover, it will also have a huge impact on Qin Yuan's prestige and threaten his dominance.
Qin Yuan is sitting in this position now, and I don't know how many people are jealous and want to pull him down.
Once given the opportunity, they will never let it go.
"Don't worry, my lord!"
"Just taking this opportunity, we can fish out the unstable factors in the city!"
"Before the war comes, eliminate these potential threats!"
Bai Qi raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said.
On the surface, Guangzong City seems to be full of Yellow Turbans, but in fact there are all kinds of elements, even secret agents of the imperial court lurking in the Yellow Turbans.
Just like the Yellow Turban Army ambushing some human spies in the Yellow Turban camp.
But these are important secrets.
It is not accessible to the general public.
Moreover, these chess pieces would never be easily taken out and used.
But when these chess pieces are used, they will definitely be fatal.
Qin Yuan's military operations are being carried out secretly.
Since not many people knew about it, and it was all Qin Yuan's own, no one knew about the mobilization of the army.
After all, these millions of elites are all combat arms who have transferred through the Temple of War.
Qin Yuan's army is like a copper wall and an iron wall, and personnel and spies from other forces cannot penetrate at all.
This is also where many forces are most distressed.
After all, it is impossible to place spies in Qin Yuan's army, and it is impossible to discover Qin Yuan's military operations.
Once there is any disturbance, the intelligence will be a little slow.
And in Julu City.
The same thing happened.
That is, the imperial court sent Huangmen Zuofeng to inspect the military situation. This was a very common behavior.
After all, this battle was related to the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty, so the court naturally attached great importance to it.
Moreover, the imperial court sent a large number of officials and officials, and invested countless money and materials.
If this war fails, it will be a major blow to the imperial court and will accelerate the demise of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
It is natural for the imperial court to send angels to supervise.
In previous wars, the emperor would send some eunuchs who called themselves angels to inspect and supervise the war.
Although their power is not great, the emperor stands behind them.
This is nothing.
However, when the news spread, the player community was completely excited.
After all, they knew very well that this would be an important node.
That is, Zuo Feng is an out-and-out bastard and actually asked Lu Zhi for a bribe.
As a general, Lu Zhi was very aware of the shortage of money and food in the army, so naturally he refused to give monetary bribes.
Zuo Feng didn't even have a good look on him.
This caused Zuo Feng to hold a grudge. After returning to the court, he accused Lu Zhi of deliberately standing still and neglecting the morale of the army.
So Tianyan was furious and sent Dong Zhuo, the general of Zhonglang, to take charge of the army instead of Lu Zhi.
After this round of power transition, the military morale of the imperial camp was even more unstable.
At the same time, the newly appointed Dong Zhuo was not as capable as Lu Zhi. He was never able to defeat the Yellow Turban Army. Instead, he suffered many major defeats.
Later, after the Yellow Turban Army in other places was suppressed, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun led troops to help, and they defeated the Guangzong Yellow Turban Army and ended the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
Nowadays, the imperial camp and the Yellow Turban camp have been in a stalemate for a long time. There is actually not much difference in strength between the two sides. Moreover, because of Qin Yuan's existence, they are full of various unstable factors.
If Lu Zhi was removed from his post as happened in history, it would most likely lead to a defeat on the battlefield in Jizhou.
You must know that it is precisely because of Lu Zhi's prestige that so many forces in the imperial camp are willing to obey his orders.
If it were anyone else, like Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, they would definitely not obey orders willingly.
What's more, there was Lu Zhi's disciple Liu Bei. Half of his thoughts on supporting the Jizhou battlefield were directed at his mentor Lu Zhi.
No matter how capable the new commander-in-chief Dong Zhuo is, if he fails to convince the public, or even makes others feel resentful, it may lead to conflicts within the camp and disunity.
The moment Zuo Feng arrived at Julu City through the teleportation array.
All players in Julu City have triggered a historical plot mission.
This task is optional.
The first one was to help Zuo Feng obtain bribes from Lu Zhi while he was inspecting Julu City, while protecting his personal safety until he returned to Luoyang safely.
Successful missions will gain the favor of the eunuch group and the new commander-in-chief Dong Zhuo, as well as other rewards such as military exploits and resources.
The second is to preserve Lu Zhi's official position, which can be done by persuading Lu Zhi to give Zuo Feng a batch of money, or by assassinating Zuo Feng so that he cannot return to the court to slander Lu Zhi.
If the mission is successful, you will gain the favor of Lu Zhi, Liu Bei and others, as well as other rewards such as military exploits and resources.
This is an important plot mission that determines the fate of the imperial camp.
Now, even though the imperial camp suffered a huge defeat a few days ago, Lu Zhi suppressed the entire army, stabilized the morale of the army, and was impartial and impartial.
Moreover, many orders have been issued in the past few days, all in preparation for dealing with Qin Yuan's elite and defeating the Yellow Turban camp.
At least on the surface, the imperial camp was still monolithic, and no major problems arose.
But once Lu Zhi was demoted and removed from office, among other things, there would definitely be big problems within the imperial camp.
It will be difficult to unite then.
Suddenly, the entire Julu City players became excited and began to ponder and study this historical plot mission.
Under normal circumstances, the first one would naturally be chosen.
After all, there have been certain deviations between today's history and games, but the general direction remains the same.
If you help Zuo Feng, the success rate will be higher and the price you need to bear will be smaller.
As for rewards, for most guild forces, they do not value these resources and money, but they really want Dong Zhuo's friendship.
Although talk about the Qin and Han Dynasties competing for hegemony is now very popular.
But who can say for sure about the future?
Not to mention Dong Zhuo's power in the government and the opposition in the future, if you help Dong Zhuo successfully ascend to power now, you can also gain huge benefits.
However, in this way, individuals may benefit, but the overall situation will be even worse.
But everyone is selfish, let alone the player community!
Even if the imperial camp wins, the players will not receive many substantial benefits.
But once this mission is successful, there will be endless benefits.
It would be great to at least climb on Dong Zhuo's thigh and develop in the future.
If you help Lu Zhi, you may have to bear higher costs and risks.
The simplest way is to persuade Lu Zhi to bribe Zuo Feng.
This is one of the simplest ways to handle things.
But for the upright Lu Zhi, he would never agree.
Even if it was a copper coin, he would rather spend it on soldiers than give it to Zuo Feng.
Then, the only thing left is to take extreme measures to prevent Zuo Feng from returning to the court to slander Lu Zhi, causing him to be removed from office.
Dead people cannot speak!
As long as Zuo Feng is killed, all problems will be solved.
Once the mission is successful, it will not only stabilize the military morale of the imperial camp, but also change the development of the historical plot.
