Chapter 634 The war in the Central Plains, the aristocratic family’s counterattack
"Tai Shang Elder, is it only 30%? Such a chance of winning is too low. If there is not even half a chance, what benefit will what Zhang Jiao is doing now to the people of the world?" Zhang Jiao was a little unwilling.
said.
For ordinary people, aristocratic families are their heaven, and it is not that easy to overthrow this heaven.
Although, under Bai Ze's guidance, the Yellow Turban Army has gone from a situation of inevitable defeat to now having a 30% chance of winning, which is already a big improvement.
At least, the Yellow Turban Army has hope for the future, but Zhang Jiao is still not satisfied.
If there is not even half a chance of winning, Zhang Jiao will never cooperate with Baijia again, because he does not want to use his own selfish interests to cause the Central Plains to suffer war. So far, father and son have been separated, families have been destroyed, and thousands of people have begun to become homeless.
Zhang Jiao cannot afford to lose!
Once he fails, the aristocratic family will remember today's lesson and continue to squeeze the people to avoid a situation like this year happening again.
Therefore, even if the odds of winning are slim, Zhang Jiao must do his part to free the people from the rule of the aristocratic families and establish an ideal society of great harmony.
Therefore, he must try his best to gain a greater chance of winning, even if it is only one point.
"The 40% chance of winning is you, Zhang Jiao!" Seeing Zhang Jiao's hesitation, Bai Ze continued: "You are the spiritual support of the Millions of Yellow Turbans Army. As long as you die, the Millions of Yellow Turbans Army will collapse in an instant.
!”
"As for the remaining commanders, there will also be a situation where no one obeys the other. Let alone fight against the aristocratic family, I am afraid that even they themselves will have to enter civil strife."
"So, nephew, you have to take care of yourself, don't end up dying before your birth." Bai Ze patted Zhang Jiao's shoulder and comforted him.
"I know, so I don't allow myself to die before overthrowing this decadent country of the Han Dynasty." Although Zhang Jiao's face was pale, his tone was extremely firm.
"As for the 50%, it must be done manually." When Bai Ze said this, he hesitated for a moment. After thinking about it again and again, he leaned into Zhang Jiao's ear and whispered something.
"Seriously..."
After hearing what Bai Ze said, Zhang Jiao immediately widened his eyes, filled with excitement and disbelief. If things really develop like this, the chance of defeating the Han army can indeed be increased to 50%!
"The Supreme Elder, please bow to me from my nephew Zhang Jiao." At this moment, Zhang Jiao was so convinced by Bai Ze that he even bowed down to express his gratitude to him!
"Absolutely not!" Bai Ze quickly stopped Zhang Jiao from kneeling down.
After all, facing such a person who thought about the people, he really didn't want to be knelt down by him, so he immediately said seriously: "The future destiny of the people in the world depends entirely on the efforts of you, my nephew, Huang Turban!"
"And these are the only things we can do."
"Zhang Jiao will definitely try his best." Zhang Jiao said with a serious face, his eyes full of desire for victory.
Looking at Zhang Jiao with a determined look on his face, Nan Hua had mixed feelings in his heart. He had chosen to accept Zhang Jiao as his disciple in the first place, and it was not because he had such courage.
And the facts proved that my choice was not wrong.
After leaving Zhang Jiao, Nan Hua could no longer conceal the doubts in his heart, so he looked at Bai Ze aside and asked: "Elder, why don't you use this matter to tell the story about Wang Yu and the girl?
Decide in advance?"
"Because there is no need, her heart has been stolen by that kid. Moreover, Zhang Jue is not in a desperate situation yet. When the time comes, I will tell him in detail!" Bai Ze waved a folding fan, Feng Qingyun
Said lightly.
"Wang Yu, that boy, really had a good pregnancy. From the day he was born, his future has been prepared. I don't know if this is sad or lucky!" Nan Hua couldn't help but sigh after thinking of Wang Yu's identity.
.
"Nanhua, Nanhua." Bai Ze chuckled when he heard Nanhua say this, and then said: "It seems that your Yin and Yang skills are still not up to standard. Our Yin and Yang family can control the stars and grasp the secrets of the sky."
"Can't you become an ordinary Taoist priest just because the secret of heaven is messed up, and you can only guess based on some superficial situations?"
"What do you mean by the elder's words?" Nanhua felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this. After all, Bai Ze's words clearly meant that he looked down upon his onmyoji and felt that he had not learned enough.
"Why, you haven't seen it yet!"
"Do you really think that Ziying just gave birth to a good child? Let me tell you, the real situation is that the Wang family has such a status because of his Qilin son!"
"That boy's origin is not that simple. This can be seen from the Dongfang family's attitude towards him!" After Bai Ze said this, he didn't say any more. Let's see if Nan Hua can understand it!
…………
The Nanhua Taoist on the side also fell into deep thought at this time, because he felt that Bai Ze would not talk nonsense to him, and there must be very important information in it!
It's just that I can't understand it yet.
………
Late October of the first year of Zhongping was destined to be an eventful month.
First of all, this month, the imperial court received news that Wang Yu's army had defeated the grassland coalition forces for the first time in the Hetao area, wiping out nearly 200,000 enemies. This instantly inspired the fighting spirit of the soldiers at the front!
After all, the strength of the Grassland Alliance Army is not comparable to that of a bunch of mud-legged Yellow Turban Army, but even such a powerful opponent was defeated by Wang Yu's Bingzhou Army.
Does this also mean that as long as the Bingzhou Army can spare time, even if only one hundred thousand troops march south, it can bring a devastating blow to the Yellow Turban Army.
Therefore, as soon as this news came out, Wang Yu's prestige among the people was instantly doubled, and the Han army's confidence in defeating the Yellow Turban Army was also greatly increased!
However, before they could be happy for a long time, they heard the news that Zhang Jiao declared war with the world's aristocratic families.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When Zhang Jiao issued an order in Jizhou to seize grain and grass from the aristocratic families under his leadership, all the aristocratic families knew that Zhang Jiao could not bear it anymore.
We're going to attack them.
Although they knew that this day would come sooner or later, when the day actually came, the family still felt that it was unreal. These rebels and thieves really dared to risk the disapproval of the world.
As soon as this order came out, the whole world was in an uproar.
However, although the aristocratic families in the occupied areas were surprised at first, they quickly realized that after all, they had made such preparations in advance!
Faced with the Yellow Turban Army's initiative to quarrel with each other, they naturally would not wait to be slaughtered.
After Zhang Jiao, who was far away in Jizhou, issued an order to completely become enemies with the powerful families in the world, the Han Dynasty court immediately issued an order to allow local powerful landowners to recruit their own troops to fight against the Yellow Turbans in order to compete for the support of the powerful families and powerful landowners.
Rebellion.
This edict greatly relieved the pressure on the Han army, allowing more powerful landowners to stand up and fight against the Yellow Turban Army with their own strength.
However, the impact behind this order cannot be ignored, because although it allowed the Han Dynasty to continue to survive to a certain extent, it also ruined the future of the Han Dynasty.
At this point, the situation of local separatism has slowly begun. As time goes by, the imperial court will gradually lose local control, laying the foundation for the beginning of troubled times.
Shortly after the imperial court issued the order, Zhao Kuangyin, who was located in Zhao County, Jizhou, finally took action.
Although the Zhao family where Zhao Kuangyin belongs is not a first-rate family, it can be considered an upper-middle class family among the second-rate families. In particular, Yuan Shao once came to Jizhou and established a friendship with Zhao Kuangyin.
It is worth mentioning that Zhao Kuangyin's sworn brother Gao Huaide came from the Chenliu Gao family, which was related to Yuan Shao.
If I have to say it, Gao Huaide is still Gao Gan's cousin.
Gao Gan is Yuan Shao's nephew.
It was precisely because of the blessing of this relationship and the fact that Zhao Kuangyin himself did have literary, Taoist and military skills that Yuan Shao valued him very much and intended to betroth his cousin to him, and the two families established a marriage relationship.
The Yuan family supports the Zhao family!
In this regard, Zhao Kuangyin naturally had no reason to refuse.
Therefore, when the imperial court issued such an order, Yuan Shao, who was hiding in Zhao County, used his reputation to win over major families from more than ten counties in Zhao County and Changshan County, and everyone gathered together to resist the rule of the Yellow Turban Army.
In these days, Zhao Kuangyin originally had two thousand men and horses, plus the private soldiers of the major families, the families of the small counties had thousands of soldiers, and the large counties had thousands.
It can be said that in just one night, Yuan Shao pulled out an army of more than 10,000 people.
However, these troops are also scattered and cannot all be gathered together. Therefore, some powerful families can indeed kill all the Yellow Turban defenders and take back the city that originally belonged to them!
However, some aristocratic families failed to do this because of their weak strength, and the price of failure was the annihilation of the family.
But even so, six counties were still recaptured by Yuan Shao and others.
After retaking the lost territory, what Yuan Shao and the others will face is the counterattack of the Yellow Turban Army!
Considering the strength of both the enemy and ours, Yuan Shao decided to abandon three counties and transfer all the people from the aristocratic families in those three counties to Handan to concentrate his superior forces to compete with the Yellow Turban Army!
Naturally, other aristocratic families could not object to Yuan Shao's arrangements. During this period, they also knew the strength of the Yellow Turban Army. If they did not stick together for warmth, they would not be able to stop the Yellow Turban Army's counterattack.
In this way, under the command of Yuan Shao's strong reputation, Zhao County had a force to resist the Yellow Turban Army, and the major aristocratic families near Zhao County also rushed over to defect.
At this point, Yuan Shao's power is getting stronger and stronger!
Yuan Shao was the leader of the coalition of aristocratic families in Zhao County, Jizhou, and Zhao Kuangyin was the general who commanded the troops. As for Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Gao Huaide and others, they were the fierce generals of the coalition.
In this way, under Yuan Shao's effective arrangements, Zhao County and Changshan County are no longer places where the Yellow Turban Army is rampant.
And Yuan Shao's actions instantly ignited the fighting spirit of the aristocratic family!
Originally, those small aristocratic families were not considered to have a big business. Under the terrifying iron-blooded shock of the Yellow Turban Army, they had an attitude of protecting themselves, so they could not hand over their money and food!
After all, compared to those powerful aristocratic families, even if they were handed over, it would not be too painful.
However, because Yuan Shao set an example for the Jizhou aristocratic family, even those ordinary small aristocratic families immediately started thinking about it!
After all, they have earned this money and food through generations of hard work. Of course, it is difficult to say whether the truth is true, but no matter what, they are not willing to hand it over for free!
Therefore, these small aristocratic families also began to unite in an attempt to resist the blade of the Yellow Turban Army!
But reality tells them that they should resist in their dreams.
Even if they relied on the newspaper group to keep warm and temporarily occupied the city, they would not be able to stay long because the Yellow Turban Army's conquest army soon came over.
As long as any rebellious family is attacked and the city is breached, their families will be confiscated and exterminated!
The Yellow Turban Army's iron-blooded methods also produced great results. At least those small aristocratic families with ulterior motives realized how much they had and made the appropriate choices between family survival and money and food.
However, it did have the opposite effect on those big aristocratic families. They were originally arrogant people, but now, such a bunch of idiots, relying on their large numbers of troops, dared to attack them.
Naturally, the aristocratic family is not willing!
Their big family and big business not only support thousands of private soldiers, but also have armor hidden in the dark. It is impossible for them to choose to sit back and give up their family property to the Yellow Turbans out of thin air to let them grow stronger.
Take Jizhou as an example, there are many aristocratic families, such as the Li family in Zhaojun, the Liu family in Zhongshan, the Cui family in Qinghe, the Cui family in Boling, the Xing family in Hejian, the Zhen family in Hejian, the Wei family in Julu Quyang, etc.
Some of these aristocratic families may not be considered first-class families, but they can definitely get by.
Even if the family is not strong enough, it will spend a lot of money and effort to allow the government and army to regain the counties where they are located.
As the Jizhou family fired the first shot against the Yellow Turban Army, other aristocratic families under the rule of the Yellow Turban also launched a wave of resistance.
At this point, the seven states of Kanto once again experienced wars all over the place.
The city that the Yellow Turbans managed to capture with great difficulty was largely destroyed by the aristocratic family's counterattack. However, Zhang Jiao had already been prepared for this from the beginning.
Therefore, whenever the city was lost, Zhang Jiao ordered an army to conquer it. Under the massive offensive of the Yellow Turban soldiers, ordinary families with little manpower support could not resist for long. After the city was breached, they could only wait for the nine tribes to eliminate Xiaole.
.
From late October of the first year of Zhongping to late November of the first year of Zhongping, in this short month, the entire Central Plains was filled with endless flames of war.
According to incomplete statistics, during this war in the Central Plains, the number of Guandong aristocratic families that were confiscated and exterminated by the Yellow Turban Army was at least two hundred.
However, this is limited to those Kanto families who are not strong enough.
However, those powerful aristocratic families took advantage of this rare opportunity to continuously strengthen their own strength.
