Gu Cheng raised his hand, and the maid helped Cai Wenji up and asked in a solemn voice: "When did it happen?"
Cai Wenji's expression was anxious, but she suppressed it forcefully: "Three days ago!"
Gu Chengqi said: "Then why did you say it now?"
Cai Wenji bowed down and said: "Your Highness is wearing a yellow turban, and he is always punished. It is all for the sake of the country and the people. I dare not disturb Your Highness for my father's affairs!"
Gu Cheng sighed: "Mr. Bozhe taught you well, but don't be too bound by etiquette. Father and son are related, and ethics are normal. You should have told me earlier!"
Cai Wenji raised her head and looked at him blankly, tears welling up more and more, and finally she fell to the ground, her slightly thin shoulders shrugged, and she cried silently.
A ten-year-old girl, accompanied by a servant and a maid, came all the way to Luoyang. You can imagine the pressure deep in her heart.
After finally seeing the light of day, his father was kidnapped by the vicious Yellow Turban Army. This desperate gap is enough to drive people crazy.
As soon as Gu Cheng waved his hand, a maid immediately brought the Kongwu Lingquan and fed it to Cai Wenji.
This is a treasure of the Lian Shen lineage, and is as famous as the Qiqiao Linglong Pill. Since it cannot be mass-produced, its value is even higher than it.
After Gu Cheng returned, he drank it every day. At this time, Ruyijing's magic power had grown to its extreme.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Cai Wenji drank the Kongwu Lingquan, and a blush appeared on her delicate and flawless face. After it gradually faded, she wanted to bow again. She paused under Gu Cheng's half-smiling gaze, and chose to thank her.
But her face bulged slightly, which was quite cute.
Gu Cheng's face straightened: "Tell me specifically how your father fell into the Yellow Turban Army!"
Cai Wenji said: "It was the traitor Zhang Bao who did it! My father traveled from the East China Sea to Pengcheng, via Lingbi, Xiyang, and Nandun, and then sailed on the Wei River to Xiangyang. He was trapped in the city by Zhang Bao's soldiers. When Xiangyang City was destroyed, Cai Mansion was captured by the traitor army.
Surround!"
"Xiangyang was occupied by the Yellow Turbans?"
Gu Cheng looked sharply, Xiangyang in this world is no better than Xiaowu. It has the advantage of terrain and the power of a large formation. The geographical location is also crucial. Once the Yellow Turban Army takes over, Jingzhou and Yuzhou will not be protected.
However, Gu Cheng thought about it again and became a little confused: "Why did Mr. Bozhe go south to Xiangyang?"
Cai Wenji said: "I, the Chenliu Cai family, have always been on good terms with the Jingxiang Cai family. My father wants to unite with the Jingxiang Cai family and enter the capital together."
Gu Cheng suddenly realized: "That's it!"
The Chenliu area has been inhabited by the Cai family since the late Qin and early Han Dynasties. By the end of the Western Han Dynasty, it had become a prosperous family. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, it developed into a famous family. Although it has declined, it is still among the second-class families.
The Cai family of Jingxiang came from behind and was the leader of a second-class family, firmly controlling the land of Jingxiang.
Maybe some people are not familiar with it, but when it comes to Huang Yueying, everyone must know it.
Why did Zhuge Liang marry Huang Yueying?
One reason is that Huang Yueying's father is Huang Chengyan, a famous scholar in Jingzhou. Another reason is that Huang Yueying's mother was born in the Cai family of Jingxiang.
Without protection, it would not be easy for Wolong to farm and study in Longzhong, visit and make friends, and have a great reputation without being exposed to military disasters.
The Zhuge family is actually also very powerful. Zhuge Jin defected to Sun Wu, Zhuge Dan defected to Cao Wei, and Zhuge Liang's two sisters married into the Kuai family and the Pang family in Jingzhou respectively. This kind of marriage between aristocratic families and the combination of power and power is the norm.
Some rules of this world remain unchanged. Cai Yong is a great scholar in the world and has a great reputation. If he goes to visit the Cai family in Jingxiang, the other party will show him respect.
Unfortunately, Cai Yong's luck was really bad. He happened to catch up with the Yellow Turban Army's attack on Xiangyang and was blocked.
Cai Yong's life may not be in danger, but it is obvious that he will not be able to come to Luoyang in a short time. Gu Cheng feels a little pity, but what he cares more about is: "Why did the Yellow Turban Army attack Xiangyang?"
"Your Highness, please look!"
I was asking myself this, but unexpectedly, Cai Wenji waved her red sleeves, and her spiritual light shone, and a three-dimensional map appeared in front of her. The trends of mountains and rivers, cities and counties were clearly visible in her mind.
"The Yellow Turban Army rose up in Julu, and Taiping Dao believers spread across eight states in the world. They echoed the movement at the same time. It seemed like a huge force, but in fact they were all just following the movement."
"The only real threats to Luoyang are Yecheng, Dongjun, Yingchuan, and Nanyang. Your Highness understands the disaster in Nanyang. The prefect kills Zhang Mancheng. Once the leader of the thief is gone, the yellow turbans become birds and beasts and scatter!"
The changes in the military strength on the map are exactly where the Yellow Turban troops are heading. The Lian Shen lineage is indeed unique in its military application. Gu Cheng looked at Cai Wenji and said, "Nanyang is not allowed. The Yellow Turban army retreated to the second best and turned to attack Xiangyang.
?”
This is unreasonable.
Nanyang is very close to Luoyang. If Nanyang is captured, the Han defense circle will have to focus on the south, which will greatly increase the pressure.
Xiangyang was different. Although it was the site of the Fourth War, the Han Dynasty at this time was not the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Yellow Turbans were not Mongolia. Occupying Xiangyang was not conducive to the attack, so what was the use?
"The tactics of the Yellow Turban Army have changed, from sweeping the world and making all-out moves to making progress and seizing the continent to defend themselves!"
Cai Wenji's words were not surprising: "These are the movements of the Yellow Turban Army in the past fifteen days. They are transferring their elite troops to Jizhou and Jingzhou. After occupying the city, they will negotiate with aristocratic families, recruit children from poor families, open warehouses to release grain, and win the hearts of the people..."
Gu Cheng's expression changed.
In this world, the Yellow Turban Army has lost Zhang Jue, and its original plan has been revealed, and it is no longer able to make waves.
But no one expected that they would completely change their tactics.
Xu Tu strives to make progress, but defends the island?
At first glance, this seems like an unwise choice. The shortcomings of the peasant uprising will not change, and class conflicts are even less likely to be eliminated. The Yellow Turban Army was able to wreak havoc on the world in one go, but now it gathers its fists and slowly plans to occupy two states.
, and it is impossible to maintain separate regimes for a long time.
But if you think about it carefully, it won't take long for Jizhou and Jingzhou, one in the south and one in the north, as long as these two nails are driven into the hinterland of the Han Dynasty, they will be like a knife in the throat and a awn on the back!
What's more, what the Yellow Turban Army did at that time would set a very bad example for the ambitious people in the world——
The Han Dynasty is strong on the outside and powerful on the inside, and its national power is no longer enough to suppress the four parties!
If heroes rise up from all over and secede states for themselves, won’t the Han Dynasty still perish in the end?
"Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang are eager to avenge Zhang Bao. This will never be the case. There must be top counselors in the Yellow Turban Army! Or is it an immortal way? Or..."
Gu Cheng's mind suddenly flashed to those white-haired veterans with loyal faces above the court.
There are eight great families in the world!
The big man will not follow the old path of the state pastoral system, but the process has changed, but the final result remains the same?
"Don't even think about it!"
After he solved Zhang Jue, he originally placed the responsibility of pacifying the Yellow Turbans on Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Jun(jùn).
When the Han army was in decline and the Ling Emperor was holding back, these three actually did a good job and did not need to intervene. Unexpectedly, the enemy pressed forward step by step.
"In that case, I will fight with you!"
Gu Cheng sneered in his heart, and looked at Cai Wenji again, with scrutiny in his eyes:
"Tell me, who taught you this?"
