Chapter 26: Huang Chao, the man destined for cholera
Some people may not be outstanding in martial arts, nor are they in the top of their intelligence, but they are destined to become the root of the cholera world, and Huang Chao is this kind of person!
The Yellow Turban Army in the original history has gone through many detours, but in this life, there is Huang Chao, a rebel king with an intelligence of up to 95, as a military advisor, and the Yellow Turban Army will naturally not take the detours it has taken before and continue to repeat the mistakes of the past.

In the original history, the Yellow Turban Rebellion made two biggest mistakes, one offended the world's families, and the other was a rogue strategy. There are two points, but in fact there is only one point, that is, the Yellow Turban Army has to resort to the rogue strategy because it has offended the world's families.
Why did the Yellow Turban Army offend the world's families?
At the beginning of the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu shared the promise of the world with the world's family, so as to get the support of the family to re-establish the Han Dynasty, but this also caused the situation that the current tail family can't get rid of.
The total number of wealthy families is less than one percent of the total number of Han people, but they occupy 95 percent of the world's wealth, and they still wantonly occupy people's land through various legal or illegal means.
Almost all of the Yellow Turbans are such poor people, so it is not difficult to imagine what kind of attitude the Yellow Turban Army has towards the family.
In the original history, the Yellow Turban Army treated the family regardless of good or bad, and slaughtered it directly when they saw it, so it was naturally resisted by all the families, which directly caused that whenever the Yellow Turban attacked the city, the family in the city would unite to help the Han army defend the city.
And the support of the family is very strong, asking for money for money, food for food, and materials for materials, and if this still can't be held, they will even send private soldiers to help defend the city.
If you don't help, you can't do it, once the city is broken, it will be the end of the family, all the clansmen will be killed, and the family business will be cheaper than the yellow turban thieves, which is unacceptable to all families, so naturally they will resist one after another.
Therefore, the Yellow Turban Rebellion is not so much that Zhang Jiao wants to create a rebellion against the Han family, but rather as a rebellion against the rich by the vast number of poor people, which is a war between the poor and the rich caused by the class contradictions that have accumulated within the Han family for a long time, and the Yellow Turban is the representative of the poor class, and the Han family represents the family class.
What do the poor people have? Nothing but itself. But the wealthy have power, materials, wealth and knowledge, so the competition between the poor people and the wealthy families has always been unfair.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the power of the family far exceeded that of other dynasties, and even the Han family did not dare to move lightly, let alone Zhang Jiao? So from the moment he stood on the opposite side of the world's families, the Yellow Turban Rebellion was doomed to failure.
After the Han family assisted in defending the city, the defense power suddenly increased greatly, while the advance speed of the Yellow Turban Army was greatly reduced, until finally the follow-up was weak and stagnant.
Unable to capture the city means that the team cannot continue to grow in strength, and the Han family, which has reacted at this time, is also extremely amazing in the face of the crisis of the country's demise.
However, this life is different, with the wise man Huang Chao here, he naturally will not watch the Yellow Turban Army take the initiative to jump into the pit.
Huang Chao first stated to Zhang Jiao the disadvantages of offending the world's family in front of all Qu Shuai, and the disadvantages of future development, Huang Chao thought that telling the truth would be recognized by everyone, but he did not expect to be opposed by all Qu Shuai except Zhang Jiao, including Hong Xiuquan Fangla.
At this time, Huang Chao knew that the Yellow Turban, or the people, how resentful they were against the family, although Huang Chao also belonged to the Han family, but the family would not be able to open the pot, so at first I didn't understand this resentment, but now it's not too late to understand, this resentment is not formed in a day or two, but after 200 years of accumulation, it is almost impossible to resolve, even if I and others don't raise things, people will definitely stand up against Han in the future, and the Han should have this catastrophe.
Although all Qu Shuai disagreed, Huang Chao did not give up, but changed his way to persuade from another angle.
Huang Chao said so, the Han family and the family are like two mountains, the Yellow Turban wants to completely remove it, it will take a lot of energy and time, if the two mountains are moved together, it will be time-consuming and laborious, and the gains outweigh the losses, and it will be much easier to move them one by one.
The Han and the family are like these two mountains, we can completely turn the gun to deal with the family after the destruction of the Han! And if the two deal together, it must be time-consuming and labor-intensive, so why not use a time-saving and labor-saving method?
Huang Chao's concise metaphor made all Qu Shuai silent, and finally Zhang Jiao decided to change the original policy of the Yellow Turban Army, and changed it to no longer target the world's families, but to the small families who were the troublemakers.
Zhang Jiao didn't know that his decision saved the doomed Yellow Turban Army, if the Yellow Turban Army still stood on the opposite side of the world's families, even with the assistance of Xiang Yu and other summoned figures, it was doomed to be impossible, after all, no matter how strong an individual was, he couldn't resist the general trend.
The Yellow Turban Army has changed its attitude towards the world's family, and the world's family sees that the Yellow Turban Army has not provoked themselves, so naturally they will not take the initiative to provoke the Yellow Turban Army, they no longer care about the rise and fall of the Han family, they only care about the rise and fall of their own family, and there is nothing wrong with the change of dynasty, maybe it is still an opportunity for their family to grow!
Of course, there are still people who care, that is, those notorious little families, these families saw that those untouchables on weekdays actually dared to stand up and rebel, and only because of a little "trivial" thing, they attacked themselves, and they were immediately terrified, so they did their best to assist the officers and soldiers to defend the city.
After all, the strength of the small family is limited, and it can't play a big role at all, but for the officers and soldiers stationed there, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat, and it is better than nothing!
Under the influence of the Yellow Nest, the Yellow Turban Army in this life was not subjected to the joint sniping of the world's families, and before the Han family reacted, the siege of the city was naturally very smooth, and after having a base with a continuous blood supply, the Yellow Turban Army naturally did not need to follow the same rogue strategy as in the original history!
What is the Rogue Strategy?
That is, ignoring production, regardless of agriculture, and not taking the occupation of territory as the main purpose, after capturing the city, it mainly used plundering methods to quickly increase the strength of the rebel army in a short period of time.
There are advantages and disadvantages to the rogue strategy, but the advantage is that it can indeed increase the strength of the rebel army in a short period of time, so that it can have a better chance of winning in the face of encirclement and suppression of officers and soldiers.
The disadvantage is that it is difficult to control, and it is easy to say at first, but after tasting the sweetness, the rebel army that kills the red eye will not care about any etiquette and morality, and then the rebel army will become a chaotic army, and its reputation will be completely ruined. And it will bring great damage to society.
Huang Chao's own path of rebellion is to follow the rogue strategy, no, it is more thorough than the rogue strategy, perhaps it should be more appropriate to call it the locust route.
Of course, the reason why Huang Chao did this was because he had no choice, and if he had a choice, with Huang Chao's 95 intelligence, he would never choose the Liukou strategy.
Huang Chao is not like Zhang Jiao has such a good foundation for rebellion, the rebel army is not only outnumbered, but also out of a passive state, in this situation where the strength of the enemy and us is too disparity, if you don't have a rogue strategy, what awaits Huang Chao is only to be exterminated.
The historical Huangchao has taken the rogue war and sports warfare to the extreme, the team in the high-intensity continuous combat, not only did not reduce the number of personnel, but fought more and more, after the rebels broke a city, they immediately seized the grain and destroyed the city, and after the people lost their homes and food, in addition to joining the rebels, there was no way out except starvation.
Whenever the rebel army did not have enough food and grass, Huang Chao directly filled the food with human flesh, so everywhere Huang Chao's army went, almost all of them were thousands of miles away, and the local people were not killed, but eaten.
The reputation of the Yellow Nest Demon King also came from this, with this cruel means, the Yellow Nest broke the blockade of the Tang Army again and again, and brought huge losses to the Tang Army, and finally dragged down the Tang Dynasty and buried the greatest dynasty in Chinese history.
It is precisely because of Huang Chao's reputation that it is stinky to the extreme, so he knows how important a good reputation is, it is not an overnight thing to fight the world, and it is almost impossible to succeed without a good reputation to attract heroes from all over the world to take the initiative to vote.
As long as the rogue strategy is carried out, the reputation of the rebel army will be completely ruined sooner or later, which is almost impossible to change, and not only will no talent defect at that time, but even the people will not take the initiative to join the rebel army, and the team will no longer be replenished by conventional troops, which will be fatal to any rebel army.
But why did the historical Yellow Turban Army carry out the policy of rogue law?
Don't look at the scale of the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the original history, there were more than one million rebels at the beginning, and later it affected tens of millions of people, after the Han family experienced this ****, the population dropped directly from 50 million to more than 30 million, and more than 10 million people died in this one, which shows how much damage the Yellow Turban Uprising caused.
However, although the damage was great, in fact, the Yellow Turban Army did not capture much territory, and the family's obstruction caused great difficulties to the Yellow Turban Army's siege.
That's why the Yellow Turban Army will carry out the rogue strategy, because instead of being wiped out one by one by the Han family's concentrated forces, it is better to carry out the rogue war, and there may be a glimmer of life if they take the initiative to attack.
And in the face of life and death, reputation is a little insignificant, after all, if you can't even save your life, what's the use of fame?
Huang Chao's suggestion made the originally doomed Golden Uprising have a little more possibility of success, and only killed the evil little family, so that although it also offended the family, it did not offend death, so as not to stand on the opposite side of the world's family.
The Yellow Turban Army, which was not blocked by the family, its offensive was almost smooth sailing, and the Yellow Turban Army immediately punished the grain and conscription after capturing the city, leaving part of the garrison troops, and the main force of the Yellow Turban immediately continued to attack other cities.
Although this will lead to the dispersion of troops and affect the combat strength with the expansion of the territory, it can ensure the stability of the rule, continuously transfuse blood for the Yellow Turban Army, and enhance the ability to continue fighting.
Of course, in addition to all of the above, Huang Chao also formulated a strategy for Zhang Jiao to dominate the world: the three-step strategy of the Yellow Turban Heavenly Kingdom.
The first step is to concentrate on taking Yuzhou.
Due to the uneven distribution of the strength of the Taiping Sect among various places, the strength of some places was actually not enough to solve the local officers and soldiers, so Huang Chao suggested to Zhang Jiao that the relatively weak forces in the 36th Route Righteous Army should be transferred out of the local area first, and first concentrate on taking the important territories that could be taken.
Ten birds in the forest are better than one bird in hand.
Because the Taiping Sect had the greatest influence in Yuzhou, and Yuzhou was the richest and most populous state in the Han Dynasty, it became the first target of Huangchao.
After Zhang Jiao saw the Huangchao plan, he thought that the feasibility was very high, so he directly transferred 12 people from the 36 road canal marshals to do things in Yuzhou, and sent Xiang Yan over to ensure that nothing went wrong.
The second step is to occupy the Central Plains, supplemented by HB, followed by Jing Yang. The Central Plains is Yanyu and Xusanzhou, and HB is Hebei, Qingyu and Four Prefectures.
Although the Central Plains is easy to attack and difficult to defend, because it comes from the hinterland, the defenders are small, rich and populous, and if you can fully occupy the Central Plains, you can get millions of soldiers.
The terrain of HB is dangerous and easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it can be invincible if it is fully based.
My Taiping Sect is the weakest in Jingyang, so the two states can postpone the attack, and there is no need to waste too much strength, just one partial division, if you can take it, if you can't take it, you can take it.
As for the third step of the Yellow Nest plan, it is much simpler and rude, that is, on the basis of the realization of the second step, the Yellow Turban will directly crush Luoyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty, and destroy the Han Dynasty in one battle.
