Chapter 63: The Yellow Turbans' Goals

And Guan Yu and others in Youzhou, after getting Yuan Shao's words, did not act rashly.

In fact, when Zhang Fei learned that Zhao Yun's whereabouts were unknown and he was charged with a "wanted criminal", he wanted to rush directly to Luoyang City alone.

It's just that he was stopped by Guan Yu and Dian Wei and told him not to be rash.

Once he rushed over like this, he happened to fall for the trick of the villain.

At that time, not only Zhao Yun could not be rescued, but even Zhang Fei himself had to pay for it.

And Dian Wei on the side only came here yesterday.

Because the three of them have all cooperated in the Battle of Youzhou, there is no gap between them.

In addition, Yuan Jiajun never caused trouble in Youzhou City, and sometimes helped the people in the city to do something, so the people in the city had to be loved.

This point is completely incomparable to that Gongsun Zhan.

Not to mention that he likes fish and meat for the common people, even an ordinary soldier will ask them for protection money at every turn.

The overlord meal without checking out is very common and ordinary, but the people dare not resist.

Because they also counted on the Yellow Turban Army to attack Youzhou, these soldiers would be able to protect them.

But who knew that when they were really used, they actually made such a shameful act as surrendering.

Fortunately, Yuan Shao's army arrived in time to let them escape.

They regarded Yuan Shao as their protector.

At the same time, they inquired that Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shu had all entered the palace, in order to discuss the ownership of Youzhou City.

These people are praying to God to let Yuan Shao manage them.

First, it is because Yuan Shao's approach is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and people-oriented.

The common people feel that only by following Yuan Shao can they see the hope of life.

The second is Yuan Shao's strength, as the most powerful prince at present, with him taking over Youzhou, the people of Youzhou will have a sense of security.

They think that although Cao Cao also loves the people like a son, his strength is too weak, and compared with the previous Gongsun Zhan, it is not much different.

As for Yuan Shu, everyone doesn't know much about him, although I heard that his strength is about the same as Yuan Shaobi, but as for his character? This makes it less clear.

After all, they have had enough of Gongsun Chan's oppression, and they don't want another Gongsun Chan to continue to squeeze them.

So if Youzhou is given to Yuan Shao, that is what everyone expects.

If Xue Yun, who was far away in Luoyang, knew that the people of Youzhou thought so, he would definitely burst into tears of excitement.

After noon, when Xue Yun was about to rest after lunch, another person came to visit, and that person was Yuan Shu.

He, like Cao Cao, also came to visit Xue Yun's injury, and also talked about some things the two had done before.

But fortunately, after Xue Yun became Yuan Shao, in addition to his own memory, even Yuan Shao's own memory did not disappear.

So in the face of Yuan Shu's question, he still answered the same fluently.

In the end, Yuan Shu told him to take care of his injuries and left.

Back at the place where he lived, Yuan Shu said to the entourage beside him, "You go and tell that person that the injured person is Yuan Shao himself, not someone else pretending." ”

Sure enough, Yuan Shu's sudden visit was entrusted by someone.

Because each prince has its own intelligence network, Yuan Shao's intelligence must also be available to other princes.

But since Xue Yun appeared, Yuan Shao's behavior was completely different from the information they had collected, which made people think that the Yuan Shao in front of him was pretending to be someone else?

So let Yuan Shu explore the truth and talk about the past of the two people.

But Xue Yun said it all without leaking, which also dispelled the concerns of Yuan Shu and others.

It's just that Yuan Shu's purpose for coming to Xue Yun is that Xue Yun himself doesn't know, he only thinks that Yuan Shu's move has another purpose.

Because in his memory, because of their different backgrounds, the two Yuan did not get along very well, and they both wanted to kill each other when they were children.

When I grew up, I had my own territory, and I didn't get along with each other for a long time.

And this time he suddenly came to find himself, which made Xue Yun puzzled.

And who is the person who can make Yuan Shu temporarily let go of his grudges and make him obey orders?

In addition, the three Zhang Jiao brothers, who were far away in Tiancheng, also changed their expressions greatly after receiving a flying pigeon message.

In the letter, he criticized Zhang Jiao and the three of them in a very stern tone for their unfavorable handling and frequent defeats in foreign battles, saying that the three of them were fools who had not achieved enough and had more than enough defeat.

It is completely the tone of a leader reprimanding his subordinates.

And let the three of them start a big war in the near future and win.

Through this, let the world know that the majesty of their Yellow Turban Army is not that they have lost a few battles, and they have been in a state of decline since then, and they have been bullied by others.

The Yellow Turban Army had launched a big war before, and it was an operation against Liu Zhang in Yizhou.

Because Liu Zhang is a relative of the Han family, and Yizhou is known as the land of abundance, the grain production is abundant.

Therefore, the Yellow Turban Army attacked this Han clan and set an example for the monkeys.

At that time, Liu Zhang's strength was not weak, with an army of about 200,000, which was better than the current Yuan Shao.

In addition, the terrain of Yizhou is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the people of Yizhou are fierce, which can be said to be all soldiers.

In everyone's eyes, Yizhou is definitely a difficult bone to gnaw, and if the Yellow Turban Army wants to eat it, it must be twice as strong as the enemy, that is, to send 400,000 troops to win.

Because in the eyes of people at the time, although the Yellow Turban Army was numerous, it was a rabble.

Whether it is weapons and equipment, or the quality of individual soldiers is extremely poor, it is impossible to take Yizhou City.

But the development of things was beyond everyone's expectations, and in that battle, Zhang Jiao only sent 100,000 horses to capture the military stronghold of Yizhou.

Liu Zhang originally planned to defend against the danger, but these Yellow Turban soldiers climbed up from the cliff at night and killed them by surprise.

And this group of people has the most complete siege equipment.

Up to siege ladders, trebuchets, down to chariots, strong bows and crossbows.

Even the armor worn by the soldiers was not comparable to Liu Zhang's army.

One of the most thrilling is the battle to defend the city, hundreds of trebuchets fired in unison, directly smashing the city wall beyond recognition.

Later, a wave of thousands of arrows was fired at once, crossing the city wall and shooting into the city, and the people were also miserable at any time.

Later, perhaps with God's help, a gust of wind blew in the direction of the city.

The Yellow Turban Army decisively wrapped the arrows in strips of cloth, dipped them in fire oil, and with the help of the wind, directly reduced Yizhou City to a sea of fire.

Liu Zhang was also burned alive, and his army also chose to surrender.

In that battle, just by taking prisoners, the Yellow Turban Army collected more than 100,000.

There were more prisoners than the army, and this is definitely a miracle in the history of warfare.

After that battle, the most powerful princes had been wiped out, and the remaining ones could only be forced to defend rather than take the initiative to attack.

Now, it seems, they were ordered to strike again and choose an opponent.

And this opponent, Zhang Jiao and a few people have already chosen, that is-Jizhou Yuan Shao.
