Chapter 7: The Yellow Turban Uprising
Feng Ye originally wanted to ask those two Daoists about the rune water, but now that there is already this kind of rune on the Ten Thousand Laws Heavenly Book.
Then Feng Ye would no longer need to contact these Taiping Dao people. These people are just minions, and they can't talk about important things.
"Gongsun Cheng, you go and meet those two Taiping Daoists, ask them if they have any ideas for an alliance with Taiping Dao, and if so, send a high-level official to Liaodong County to negotiate together. If not, forget it. Feng Ye ordered.
"General, do you mean that Taiping Dao also has the idea of creating a law, otherwise why would you want to form an alliance with us?" asked Gongsun Cheng with a puzzled face.
"Hehe, have you ever heard of pie falling from the sky? Why did Taiping Dao appear in our wounded barracks and apply talisman water to our wounded barracks? We have nothing to do with Taipingdao. Feng Ye asked rhetorically.
"General, you don't know this, Taiping Dao is not just helping us use Fu Shui to cure diseases, they are helping all the poor people, all the people who can't afford medicine to cure the disease.
It is precisely because of this skill that Taiping Dao can now develop to spread throughout the Han Dynasty. And the existence of Taiping Dao is not a day or two, but has existed for decades, I have seen people in Taiping Dao use Fu Shui to heal diseases and save people when I was a child. Gongsun Cheng said admiringly.
This just shows that this Taiping Dao has a great plan. Alright, you just do what I say. A lot of things can't just look at the surface. If you don't believe me, you'll see it after a while. ”
Feng Ye couldn't explain the rebellion of Taiping Dao now, so he could only pretend to be mysterious. Anyway, Taiping Dao will definitely rebel.
"Honorable Order" Gongsun Cheng nodded suspiciously, and when he saw Feng Ye's mysterious face, he didn't dare to ask more.
After dealing with the Taiping Dao matter, Feng Ye went to see Sun Zhong again. This guy is brave enough, and he doesn't know how many knives have been cut on his body, anyway, his face is pale now, and he obviously looks like he has lost too much blood.
"See General" As soon as Sun Zhong saw Feng Ye coming in, he hurriedly struggled to get up from the bed and saluted.
"How is it? I heard that you fought bravely, come and see you, how are your injuries?" Feng Ye asked with concern.
"General, I have already drunk the Taiping Fu water, and the wounds on my body have healed, and it won't be long before I can serve under your command again. As soon as Sun Zhong saw Feng Ye, he hurriedly saluted.
Sun Zhong himself also knew that although this battle was won, the loss of troops was too great compared to the two groups of Gongsun Cheng and Feng Ye. Especially Liaodong, which is now about to face a big war.
"Okay, I know that you fought very bravely in this battle, and it is not easy for you, who have never led troops, to take the lead in capturing Goguryeo, the county town of Xuansu County. When you have cultivated well this time, you will practice martial arts with Gongsun Cheng by my side!" Feng Ye said to him.
"Thank you, General, thank you, General. Sun Zhong said excitedly.
Feng Ye's ability, he has seen it, when he fought with officers and soldiers, Feng Ye killed more than 100 officers and soldiers alone, which can be called a hundred. And the force is infinite, and a hammer can smash down the city gates.
Sun Zhong wanted to follow Feng Da and study with Feng Ye since he was a child, but Feng Da didn't allow it. Now Feng Ye agreed to give him the ability. Let Sun Zhong have a sense of gratitude for getting what he wanted.
After seeing Sun Zhong, Feng Ye returned to the county guard's mansion, which was originally the home of the county guard of Liaodong County, and now it has become Feng Ye's general's mansion. His mother, Zhao, has now been picked up by him.
The maid that the "General" met on the way saluted Feng Ye.
Feng Ye just nodded and walked all the way to the backyard.
"Mother, why are you feeding the chickens again? Now that my son is a general of Liaodong, our family is not short of these chickens you raised. As soon as Feng Ye entered the yard, he saw his mother Zhao feeding the chickens.
"Son, how did your Liaodong general come here? Niang still doesn't know, but now, Niang has an idea, you hurry up and find a few more women, so that we can leave a queen for our Feng family, and it is best to send them away incognito.
In the future, if the imperial court calls, it will not make our Feng family extinct. Zhao said with a long sigh. Ever since she knew that Feng Ye had rebelled, she was frightened every day.
"Mother, don't worry, this Han court is rotten to the roots, even if you send troops over, you are not your son's opponent. Feng Ye comforted, he really didn't have any good way, and he didn't know how to comfort people, he was really inexperienced.
"Hey, my mother can't take care of your affairs now. "So far, Zhao doesn't know what to do.
This year, the entire Liaodong County, Lelang County, and Xuansu County did not have a trace of the New Year's atmosphere, and there was no lantern display. All the men of appropriate age were recruited by the Liaodong General's Mansion.
Everywhere is in full swing training, and everyone knows that after the beginning of spring, Liaodong County will inevitably face the conquest army of the imperial court. Whether it is the young people who have been drafted or their families, they are all worried about this.
For these conscripted soldiers, Liaodong General Feng Ye was still very generous, not only providing them with sufficient food, but also meat. A warm leather jacket was also distributed to each of the recruited soldiers.
Having enough to eat and dress warmly is the greatest wish of many people at the bottom in their lives. But it is such a simple wish, and under the rule of the current Han court, it cannot be realized.
On the contrary, after being recruited by Feng Ye as a soldier, many people achieved their life goals.
There are nearly 700,000 people in the three counties, and Feng Ye can only pull out less than 60,000 troops, and the training process of these troops is also a screening process. It was impossible for Feng Ye to let all these people become soldiers.
There must always be enough manpower to plough the land in order to ensure that there is enough food. According to Feng Ye's estimates, it is almost enough to screen out about fifteen thousand qualified soldiers from among these people.
During this time, Feng Ye also called Gongsun Cheng and Sun Zhong to his side, and began to teach them the Demon God Federation Body Forging Technique, here in Liaodong County, Feng Ye can't find any famous generals now, Feng Ye, who is short of manpower, can only choose to cultivate by himself now.
You can't just go into battle as soon as you fight, Feng Ye, the general of Liaodong, will go into battle by himself, right? Moreover, he still has to concentrate on cultivating the great supernatural power of one qi and three clears, where can he have time to ponder and fight all day long. Therefore, cultivating talents has become a top priority.
The Demon God Federation Body Forging Technique is the foundation, and after the body has been trained to a certain level, it is enough to cultivate a powerful general.
Just when Feng Ye was actively preparing for the battle, he saw that the time was also March. Feng Ye had already gotten the news that the conquest army in Youzhou had even been assembled.
Just when this war was about to break out, Zhang Jiao of Taiping Road rebelled, because Zhang Jiao's apprentice Tang Zhou ran to tell the whistle, causing Zhang Jiao to revolt in a hurry without preparation.
"The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious. In the middle of the day, this slogan of Taiping Dao resounded all over the Han Dynasty. Let the whole Han burst into smoke in an instant.
Countless poor people wrapped their heads in yellow scarves and roared at the landlords who oppressed them in the past. All of a sudden, the wind and clouds changed color. Countless landlords and officials who were high in the past have destroyed their families and exterminated their families.
By this time, no one cared about Feng Ye in Liaodong anymore. Even the army that Youzhou had originally assembled to attack Liaodong County was sent to fight the Yellow Turban Uprising.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liaodong County settled down. Feng Ye still wanted to form an alliance with Taiping Dao before, but it was a pity that the three brothers Zhang Jiao still couldn't look down on the power in Feng Ye's hands and the land in Liaodong.
Regarding Feng Ye's idea of wanting to form an alliance, people didn't respond at all, of course, it may be that they didn't have time to respond, and they were told by Tang Zhou's two or five boys, so that they didn't have time to deal with this matter.
Although Taiping Dao did not form an alliance with Feng Ye's side, it did not make an enemy with him, and there was the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Youzhou, at least not on the Liaodong side. It's not that there are no Taiping Dao believers here in Liaodong County, but they didn't choose to revolt here.
"General, you are really like a god! Taiping Dao has really rebelled. You're absolutely right. Gongsun Cheng looked at Feng Ye with admiration and said.
Feng Ye told him that Taiping Dao was going to rebel before, but he didn't believe it, but he didn't expect that within two months, Taiping Dao had already rebelled over there.
"The Taiping Dao rebellion is an opportunity for us, the imperial court has no time to take care of us now, this is precious development time. How's the training going?"
"General, after two months of training, according to your requirements, 13,000 elite soldiers have been screened. Everyone else has already let them go home. Sun Zhong replied. Feng Ye handed over this matter to him to be responsible.
"Among this group of people, according to the criteria for selecting wrestlers from the general, a total of 5,000 people are qualified, and there are also 6,000 cavalrymen you want to train. ”
Feng Ye nodded and ordered: "Okay, then so be it, and assign the remaining 2,000 people to the various counties under our rule as county soldiers." ”
"The rest of the people will have to be screened twice, and the five thousand wrestlers will be trained according to the heavy infantry and equipped with giant shields and broadswords. Six thousand cavalry were trained as light cavalry. Feng Ye said to the cyborg guards beside him.
Training soldiers is still a matter of cyborgs, whether it is Gongsun Cheng or Sun Zhong, they have not been systematically studied. They also need a certain amount of time to learn.
It's just that Feng Ye doesn't have much time now, and the others don't know, and they all feel that the scale of the Yellow Turban Rebellion is so grand, and it will take at least a few years to eradicate it.
Only Feng Ye knew that in less than a year, the vigorous Yellow Turban Uprising would be suppressed by the Han court. Of course, the pattern of the chaotic times at the end of the Han Dynasty will also begin.
After the Han Dynasty exterminated the Yellow Turban Uprising, the next target must be Feng Ye's Liaodong County. Even when the time comes, it is not Youzhou's side that will come to encircle and suppress, it is likely to be the imperial army after the Yellow Turban is exterminated.
"The cultivation of Yellow Turban Lux is also about to begin, and it will take at least three years for the average Yellow Turban Lux to be cultivated and formed, and a lot of tonic medicine is required.
But the tonic in my hand is far more effective than ordinary tonic. The speed of cultivating Yellow Turban Lux should be much faster. A year is about the same. Feng Ye silently calculated in his heart.
Five thousand heavy armored infantry, if you want to train to become a Yellow Turban Warrior, the medicinal materials you need are simply astronomical, and you can't buy so many medicinal materials with money.
Taiping Dao Zhang Jiao has been preparing for more than 20 years, and on the day of the uprising, he did not dare to put in his hands to have 5,000 yellow turban wrestlers. The point is, even if they had so many Yellow Turban wrestlers, they wouldn't have enough armor to arm them.
For Feng Ye, medicinal materials are not a problem, and equipment is not a problem either. The only question is time, with the population. The Han court would not give him so much time to train the Yellow Turban wrestlers.
Under Feng Ye's rule, there was not so much suitable population. This is the key to restricting Feng Ye's strength.
Six thousand white-horse cavalry, Feng Ye also attached great importance to it. Youzhou has been harassed by foreign races all year round, and it is too much of a loss to have no cavalry. Moreover, the Youzhou Tuqi is also famous in the entire Han Dynasty.
With the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and the State Wolf Cavalry, they are known as the three major cavalry of the Great Han.
Feng Ye silently calculated that the time when the Yellow Turban Uprising was wiped out was said to be one year, but the main force of the Yellow Turban, by the autumn, was basically gone. The rest turned into bandits and fled.
At that time, the attention of the imperial court should be on the side of Liaodong. However, as long as Feng Ye's side doesn't make too much trouble, the imperial court shouldn't pay too much attention to this side.
Feng Ye looked at the map and aimed at Changli County, a subordinate country in Liaodong, which is also a border area, with a population of 200,000 and an outlet to the sea. It is also of great benefit to the development of Feng Ye's forces.
"Gongsun Cheng, Sun Zhong, the two of you have learned a lot from me during this time, and this time I will give you a chance to perform. Go and take Changli County for me. Feng Ye ordered.
"Yes. "Gongsun Cheng, Sun Zhong responded.
"Gongsun Cheng led 6,000 Youzhou cavalry, Sun Zhong led 5,000 Liaodong wrestlers, and the two of you were divided into two routes. Take Changli County for me. By the way, train the troops well. You can't make good soldiers without blood. Feng Ye commanded.
