The change in the situation in Nanyang was unexpected by everyone.
Especially the Jingzhou aristocratic families in the imperial camp, as well as the player forces.
They thought that under the leadership of Qin Jie and with their efforts, they could defeat the Nanyang Yellow Turban Army without any suspense and win this battle.
But no one expected that the result would be completely opposite to what they expected.
In particular, a person appeared in Nanyang County who should not have appeared in the first place.
Qin Yuan!
He was originally just a small bandit, but he grew up very quickly into a powerful figure who can influence the general trend of the world.
Now he has become the irreplaceable second figure in the Yellow Turban Army.
Qin Yuan appeared in Guangzong City before and assisted the Yellow Turban Army in successfully fighting back.
After that, they began to recruit the Yellow Turban Army in Guangzong City and prepare intensely for war to enhance the army's combat effectiveness.
Just when everyone thought that Qin Yuan would focus on Guangzong headquarters.
No one expected that Qin Yuan would lead the army to Nanyang City.
And joined forces with Zhang Mancheng to defeat the government army led by Qin Jie with lightning speed, and successfully controlled the entire Nanyang County.
And the whole process only took a few days.
Under normal circumstances, even an army may not be able to rush from the eastern part of Nanyang County to the far west.
However, with Qin Yuan's help, he not only defeated Qin Jie's millions of troops, but also occupied a large amount of territory.
At this point, the entire Nanyang County fell under the control of the Yellow Turban Army.
As for the imperial camp, not only did they lose a large number of cities, they also lost five million troops.
What's even more embarrassing is.
At the border of Nanyang County, aristocratic families and player forces have assembled an army of seven to eight million people.
They were originally planning to cooperate with the government army led by Qin Jie to launch a double-sided attack on the Nanyang Yellow Turban Army.
But who would have thought that Qin Jie's government army would be defeated so quickly.
The situation had changed so drastically that they did not dare to make the slightest move.
The original plan to attack Nanyang was naturally suspended.
After all, attacking Nanyang County now is undoubtedly an act seeking death.
You know, Qin Yuan's army is still in Nanyang County.
Moreover, having captured Nanyang County in just a few days, we can now completely free up our hands to deal with them.
Speaking of attacking, I'm afraid the end result will be the same as Qin Jie's.
After all, the performance of Qin Yuan's army this time has once again refreshed the world's understanding.
Even a well-trained government army is no different from a piece of paper in front of Qin Yuan's army. It can be broken with just one poke.
However, the army assembled by the powerful families and player forces is still inferior to the government army.
A head-on battle with Qin Yuan's army would lead to death.
But if we retreat, wouldn't we be indulging the Yellow Turban Army?
You know, after the entire territory of Nanyang is captured, the next plan will definitely be to expand towards the surrounding counties.
If not stopped, the Yellow Turban Army's territory will grow larger and larger.
By then, Jingzhou may become the second Jizhou.
Of course, everyone's target fell on Qin Yuan at this time.
As for Zhang Mancheng, the original main commander of the Nanyang Yellow Turban Army, he received much less attention.
After all, this time Qin Yuan teleported across the state and temporarily gave up on the Jizhou battlefield.
Its purpose is definitely not that simple.
And after an analysis, we can naturally draw conclusions.
With the Jizhou battlefield in a deadlock, Qin Yuan probably wanted to open up the local situation to expand his advantage.
After all, the local Yellow Turban Army is constantly being suppressed, and its territory of strength is constantly shrinking.
It is even more unable to provide new vitality to Guangzong headquarters.
Regarding this, Qin Yuan couldn't help but anxiously wanted to start somewhere.
This is a good strategy.
And the even more shocking news is.
After Qin Yuan helped the Nanyang Yellow Turban Army control the situation in Nanyang.
Located in the land of Youzhou in the northern part of the Han Dynasty.
An army of millions led by Han Xin set out from Guangyang County and Shanggu County and invaded Zhuo County in two groups.
It was a triumphant progress along the way.
Now they have captured most of Zhuo County.
The army approached the county town of Zhuojun.
Without external help, the fall of Zhuojun is just around the corner.
The fall of Zhuojun was both expected and unexpected.
Because Liu Bei did not lead his army back to aid Zhuojun, the imperial court made more efforts to help.
Zhuojun can only rely on its own strength.
However, facing the attack of millions of powerful troops under the personal command of Han Xin, how could Zhuo County withstand it?
Especially when the army approached the city, most of the cities gave up resistance and chose to surrender.
After all, on the battlefield in Youzhou, Qin Yuan always had a tradition of surrendering to avoid death when dealing with his enemies.
If you choose to surrender voluntarily, then at least your life will not be in danger.
But if you choose to resist, once the city is breached, your family will be destroyed and your life will be tragically ended.
Even in the territory occupied by Han Xin, the number of actual siege battles was very few.
Most of them are soldiers who subdue others without fighting.
Faced with this situation, the governor of Zhuojun had no idea.
His prestige in Zhuo County was relatively low.
When the Yellow Turban Uprising first broke out, Zhuojun City was almost captured by the Yellow Turban Army led by Cheng Zhiyuan.
If Liu Bei hadn't suddenly emerged and defeated the Yellow Turban Army, Zhuo County would have fallen long ago.
However, the performance of the governor of Zhuojun and Liu Bei's excellence made people think that the governor of Zhuojun was too incompetent.
The county magistrates and city lords under their command would not obey the orders of the governor of Zhuo County.
Even if the governor of Zhuo County knew that the crisis was coming, there were very few people in the government and military forces in various places who followed orders.
They knew they could not change the outcome, so they could only follow the general trend and surrender to Han Xin.
One day in particular, half of the city in Zhuo County surrendered without a fight.
When the news reached Zhuojun City, the prefect of Zhuojun fainted on the spot.
But he was powerless.
In particular, the two armies attacked from different directions and met outside Zhuojun City.
If there are no surprises, then the next step will be the siege battle that countless people are looking forward to.
Everyone knows that Li Cunxiao is not in Youzhou at this time.
Then, the next attack on Zhuojun County will depend on Han Xin's own strength.
Although Han Xin is not known for his military force, he is still very powerful.
Especially when he attacked Guangyang City, he showed his skill.
Therefore, many people are still looking forward to Han Xin's next move.
But just when everyone thought there was going to be a big war, the governor of Zhuo County, who had been scolding local officials for not surrendering to the bandits, actually ordered people to hold a white flag high on top of the city, and then announced his surrender to Han Xin on the spot.
This was also the first prefect to voluntarily surrender to the Yellow Turban camp.
Previously, the highest level was only officials at the county magistrate level.
This is a first of its kind.
But I have to say that the choice of the governor of Zhuojun was still very wise.
Because if you continue to resist to the end, I'm afraid there is only a dead end.
Of course, what finally made the governor of Zhuojun make this difficult decision was that he was disappointed with the court.
After all, no matter how many distress messages he sent, the imperial court would still not send out any troops.
They can only rely on themselves for everything.
In this case, the governor of Zhuo County discussed with other officials that it would be better to surrender.
It's impossible to defend anyway.
Moreover, if they abandon Zhuojun and escape, they will be severely punished by the court.
At that time, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living penalty cannot be escaped.
Although surrendering doesn't have a good reputation, at least you can save your life and you won't have to worry about any punishment.
Moreover, if you surrender voluntarily, you will gain some favor, and if you are lucky, you can continue to hold your original official position.
It can be said that it is just a change of camp.
Besides, Qin Yuan's forces have always been very tolerant of forces that surrender.
This is also the reason why they finally chose to surrender.
Otherwise, if it were another Yellow Turban Army, they would not surrender even if they resisted to the end.
After all, the results of surrendering and resisting to the end are the same.
As the territory of the Yellow Turban camp began to shrink, Qin Yuan relied on his own strength to successfully capture Zhuo County in Youzhou and Nanyang County in Jingzhou.
This is undoubtedly a positive impact for the Yellow Turban camp.
For the imperial camp, it was a huge blow.
In such a short period of time, two counties were lost, and both of them were related to Qin Yuan.
This is really not a good sign.
Especially Qin Yuan's ambitions don't stop there.
As for Youzhou, Qin Yuan's forces have already taken over Shanggu County, Guangyang County and Zhuo County, and control a small half of Youzhou.
And after the fall of Zhuojun, Daijun was not spared in the end.
When the time comes, Qin Yuan's claws will reach out to the east of Youzhou.
Even if we face the two difficulties of Yuyang Zhang Chun and You Beiping Gongsun Zan.
But with Qin Yuan's current military strength in Youzhou, the chance of defeating them is very high.
If the expansion of Qin Yuan's power is not stopped, the entire Youzhou will fall under Qin Yuan's control before long.
As for Jingzhou, Nanyang County was completely lost, and the power of the Nanyang Yellow Turban Army grew again. With Qin Yuan's backing, they had already revealed their huge ambitions and began to covet the surrounding counties.
For a time, all parts of Jingzhou faced the threat of the Yellow Turban Army.
Previously, the situation in Nanyang was at least under control.
With Qin Jie here, no one has to worry about Zhang Mancheng getting stronger.
Even in the contest with Zhang Mancheng, he once had the upper hand and suppressed the Yellow Turban Army.
But when Qin Yuan arrived, the situation immediately reversed.
Even Qin Jie died silently in Qin Yuan's hands.
The current trend has completely changed.
Moreover, with the growth of the Nanyang Yellow Turban Army, the Yellow Turban Army from various parts of Jingzhou came back again, endangering the local government.
At this time, not only the forces in Jingzhou were in trouble, but also the imperial court.
Facing Qin Yuan's attacks on both the north and the south, the situation will only get worse if it is not contained.
The issue of whether to provide support to local areas has once again caused huge controversy.
You must know that Qin Yuan's army is very powerful. If he is not careful, he can take over a whole county.
There were only so many counties in the entire Han Dynasty.
If Qin Yuan keeps using the same method to conquer one county after another, then it won't be long before the world can change their surnames.
"We can no longer allow Qin Yuan to expand locally!"
"We must force him back!"
"Otherwise, with the power of the local government, it would be impossible for Qin Yuan to be his opponent!"
Lu Zhi didn't know whether the dispute in the court had any outcome.
But from Lu Zhi's perspective, Qin Yuan must not be allowed to be too arrogant and spread his influence everywhere.
In this case, everyone in the local government will be in danger, and their enthusiasm for the crusade against the Yellow Turban Army will be greatly affected.
After all, no one can guarantee that when they attack the Yellow Turban Army, the same situation as Nanyang County will happen, when Qin Yuan suddenly appears with an army.
As for leading troops to support Jingzhou or Youzhou, this is a very unwise choice.
Because if we do this, we will easily have tens of millions of troops.
First of all, mobilizing so many troops is a huge problem, and it will spread the military strength in Julu City.
The second point is the funding issue.
Whether heading to Youzhou or Jizhou, it is an interstate transfer.
Even if 10 million troops are mobilized, that is 10 million taels of gold.
It is really a waste to spend such a large amount of military expenses on the teleportation array.
Moreover, Qin Yuan's army is very powerful, but the number of people supporting it is not large, only one hundred thousand.
In terms of cost, it only cost one hundred thousand taels of gold.
In order to deal with Qin Yuan's army, it would cost a hundred times as much money. This price-performance ratio was really too low.
The most important thing is that even if there are 10 million troops to support the past, it may not be able to play a decisive factor.
There is even a high chance of defeat.
Furthermore, if Qin Yuan chooses to fight on other battlefields, they will have no choice at all.
After all, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out in every state.
Jingzhou is just one of them.
If Qin Yuan saw that the imperial court sent a large army to support Jingzhou, then he could completely abandon Nanyang County and support other places.
For Qin Yuan, this loss is not big at all.
And if the imperial court wants to deal with Qin Yuan all the time, it will inevitably pay a huge price.
Don't mention anything else, the financial aspect will definitely not be able to support it.
"beat!"
"We must put pressure on Guangzong City!"
"Force Qin Yuan back!"
"Don't let him be too free and happy!"
Liu Bei said excitedly.
The news of the fall of Zhuojun had already reached his ears.
Liu Bei was still very upset about his hometown being occupied by the Yellow Turban Army.
This is all caused by Qin Yuan.
After all, the force that invaded Zhuojun was Qin Yuan's army.
The reason why Liu Bei was unable to return to Zhuo County to aid was precisely because Qin Yuan became the Grand Marshal of the Yellow Turban Army, which put tremendous pressure on the court forces in Julu City, and heavy troops had to be sent to confront him.
This also resulted in Liu Bei being unable to mobilize troops to support Zhuojun.
After all, the Jizhou battlefield is much more important than the Youzhou battlefield.
But who would have expected that they are all wary of Qin Yuan.
But Qin Yuan didn't play with them at all and went directly to Nanyang County.
And before the war broke out, no one knew about it.
By the time they got the news, it was already too late.
Nanyang County completely fell under the control of the Yellow Turban Army.
If no restrictions are imposed on Qin Yuan, Nanyang County will never be the first county in Jingzhou to be completely occupied, and then Jiangxia County and Wuling County may be invaded.
This is absolutely unacceptable to them.
What they were most worried about was that Qin Yuan would successfully lead the Yellow Turban Army to a comeback by himself.
