Chapter 6: It's all over
Perhaps even Yan Shao himself didn't realize that the Battle of Cangting had a great impact on him. For Yan Shao, this journey may be more like a game.
He has the ambition to attract Sun Guan and Guan Hai, but he also has the pleasure of collecting.
Just like before, when playing some related games, I couldn't help but collect some very powerful generals.
But after the vicissitudes of life, he can no longer hold the general mentality of this game.
The Battle of Cangting brought great changes to Yan Shao. At the same time, Yan Shao must also understand what he should do.
Watching the living fall into hell, but you have the power to save them, do you choose to stand idly by? The so-called five chaos and ten countries are still too far away for the current Yan Shao.
"As long as I can save these people......" Looking at the numb face beside him, Yan Shao was silent.
In the days that followed, both Yan Shao and Sun Guan did their best to forget the effects of the massacre.
However, neither Yan Shao nor Sun Quan could have imagined that this was only the first of many brutal atrocities committed during the Yellow Turban Uprising, and that human life was worthless in times of turmoil.
As long as there is food, it is easy to recruit as many soldiers and horses as possible. Although the common people did not have enough to eat, the treatment of officers and men was still good.
For their own safety, local noble families rewarded local officers and soldiers from time to time. With this guarantee, Yan Shao quickly recruited a sufficient number of strong men from the local area, so that the number of his army eventually reached 1,000 men.
This is a bit against the rules, but Huang Fusong turns a blind eye to it. Whether it was Guan Hai or Sun Guan, Huang Fusong was deeply impressed by the heroic deeds on the battlefield.
He naturally gave these warriors a rare opportunity to open these doors.
More importantly, Huang Fusong can also feel that the battle of Cangting can only be regarded as an appetizer for future wars.
Sure enough, the next development did not surprise Huang Fusong. Soon, Zhang Jian occupied Guangzong and took control of Hb's hinterland. Lu Zhi, who was in charge of the crusade against Zhang Jiao, was mistakenly sent back to Luoyang by the eunuch.
Roshan Demon King Dong Zhuo succeeded him in the position.
However, this figure, who is historically considered the culprit responsible for the destruction of the Han Dynasty, was defeated by the Golden Age during the attack on Huangjing. With no other choice, the imperial court ordered Huang Fusong to lead his troops to attack Zhangjiao. Compared to this war, the previous *** battle did not even have an appetizer.
However, change always happens faster than expected. Before the withdrawal of the army, the news of Zhang Jiao's death had already come.
At this time, Yinchuan's Yellow Turban Army (present-day Yangzhai County, present-day Hnyu County), Chenguo (present-day Huaiyang County), Runan (Ganyu County, present-day Pingyubei County), and Eastern Army (Puyang County, present-day southwest of Hnzy City) were defeated one after another. The Nanyang Golden Army was trapped in Wancheng (now the Guangzhou Golden Army in HNY City) and other places.
With the death of Zhang Jiao, only Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao remained in the Golden Age. Both of them have more than 100,000 yellow scarves under their hands, which can be called the elite of the golden age. As long as they are solved, there is no need to worry even if there are still some crippled soldiers who are defeated.
Especially after the news of Zhang Jiao's death came out, the morale of the whole army improved greatly, and it seemed that victory was in sight. After Guangzong, they realized that their previous ideas seemed to be very naïve. Perhaps he had predicted his fate. After Huang Fusong arrived, Zhang Liang took strict precautions.
Especially after Zhang Jiao's death, Guangzong's golden army not only did not lose morale, but became mourners and fought fiercely with Guangzong's army.
Since the last time he killed Buji, Yan Shao's army has been favored by Huangfu Song. After arriving in Guangzong, after many battles, Yan Shao's camp was non-stop. There were two powerful generals, Guan Hai and Sun Guan. Yan Shao's troops performed well, but the casualty toll skyrocketed. There are more than 800 people who are difficult to get together. Now there are only more than 500 people left, fortunately, Shao Zong did not shoot many people with his own arrows, but there was one.
"If we fight, I'm afraid we won't be able to defeat the Guangzong ...... within two months" This is actually a rather implicit inference.
After all, there are 100,000 yellow turbans in Guangzong City, and this does not include the gold family in Guangzong City.
As long as Zhang Liang has enough food in his hands, let alone two months, it is not impossible to persist for a year or two.
It's like Zhang Xun in the Tang Dynasty, who killed his concubine, boiled it, and rewarded his soldiers. Grass eventually dies because there is no food. At the time, he had an army of only a few thousand men, but he faced a total of 130,000 rebels. Today, Zhang Liang's troops have 100,000 people, and Huang Fusong's troops are not even as many as Zhang Liang's
If Guangzong didn't have enough grain and grass, to be honest, even Yan Shao himself didn't know when to fight.
After all, the means of siege in this era are a bit backward. Seeing Yan Shao silently looking at the Yellow Turban Camp in the distance, Guan Hai asked on the side Is there anything wrong, Childe? Although Yan Shao had become a military commander and was Guan Hai and Sun Guan's superior, Guan Hai still habitually called Yan Shao his son, or even Sun Guan.
In the past month, Guan Hai has died dozens of yellow scarves in his hands, but there are only a few scars on Guan Hai's body.
His bravery was well known throughout the army. There were even a few generals who envied Yan Shao for having such a brave general. He once asked Yan Shao if he was willing to give up his love, but Yan Shao refused.
It's just that even such a rude person knows that this is not the end of the battle. "Let me think about ......"
Seeing this scene, even Sun Guan looked at it. Yan Shao closed his eyes and pondered. Guan Hai and Sun Guan didn't ask.
They just waited quietly. After a long time, they saw Yan Shao open his eyes. "I have a plan." Maybe it can be done......" Then he watched Sun and Guan accompany the two of you to the general camp......"
"No!" They looked at each other and clenched their fists. As the most capable battalion under the command of Huang Fusong, Yan Shao has always been at the forefront. It took a long time to return to Huang Fusong's camp. Fortunately, they soon met Huang Fusong.
They learned that Yan Shao and his subordinates Sun and Guan were here. Huang Fusong was also curious.
At this time, he was discussing with his generals about attacking Gwangjong. However, after a long discussion, they did not have any clues. However, strong attacks are not Huang Fusong's style. Yan Shao was not afraid of the spies wearing yellow scarves in the barracks.
After all, at this time, the family is very strict. If you want to get ahead, having a good family background is more important than anything else. Unlike in the later period, due to the chaos of the times, he paid more attention to talent.
In fact, even in the later stages, there are still many people who focus on family status rather than ability.
Yuan Shao is definitely a representative of this aspect, and it is precisely because of this that Cao Cao's talent is so eye-catching, thus winning the loyalty of Guo Jia and other humble children.
At dawn, seeing the sun rising over the horizon, Huang Lingscarf, who was in charge of calling the police, yawned and was about to fall asleep. The whole person relied on a spear made of wooden sticks.
At this time, if someone pushes it gently, it will immediately be thrown into a large horse. If you change your career to becoming a soldier, I'm afraid that there will be a patrol officer right away, give him a few whips, and wake him up. But this is the Yellow Turban Army, and the military cultivation is not very strong.
The soldiers here have no formal training at all. Before becoming Yellow Scarves, most of the leaders were ordinary civilians. It's a wonderful thing to expect them to complete their tasks perfectly.
What's more, perhaps because they had defeated Lu Zhi and Dong Zhuo before, and then stayed in Guangzong for a month, which made the imperial court and the army helpless. Guangzong's yellow scarf was noticeably relaxed, and the soldiers in charge of the garrison became lazy as a result.
Especially when the sun has just risen at dawn, this is the time when a person is at their least vigilant and most tired. These sleepy yellow-turbaned soldiers did not notice the situation in the camp opposite.
The gates of the village opened silently. Yan Shao glanced at the quiet Yellow Turban Camp, turned around and waved.
Guan Hai and Sun Guan were quietly walking out of the camp with their soldiers. Because it was almost dawn, they did not have a stick in their mouths, but they still gritted their teeth, afraid of making noise.
The gates of several other villages were opened one after another, and groups of officers and soldiers poured out. But as Yan Shao expected, the sleepy Yellow Turban Army did not notice their movements, and did not even notice that thousands of officers and soldiers were running out of the camp.
However, when Yan Shao's family was about to approach the Golden Camp, an alarm bell suddenly sounded from the opposite camp, and then the entire camp became noisy, as if it was a hot pot.
Yan Shao knew in his heart that their actions had been discovered, and hurriedly spoke to Guan Hai and Sun Guanli on the side. "Let's kill them first, we must grab a village gate!"
Sun Guan and Guan Hai also know that success or failure is achieved overnight. They just held hands and led the soldiers to rush forward.
Those soldiers in charge of the police are at their sleepiest moment. They weren't opponents of Guan Hai and Sun Guan, but they were both killed in a matter of minutes. Although the soldiers of the garrison could not wake up from the enemy's camp in the middle of the night? After a while, I saw that the outside of the barracks was broken, and the officers and soldiers outside had entered the barracks.
Behind this battalion, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers were rushing to meet the enemy with the Yellow Turban Army attacking Guangzong, and Zhang Liang lost his first opportunity.
Although he fought, he was defeated by Huangfu Song at noon, and Zhang Liang himself died in the battle. Guangzong died in more than 30,000 people.
Huang Fusong entered Guangzong, learned about the situation of the families of the troops, burned a large amount of supplies, and "cut the coffin, stabbed the corpse, and passed it on to the capital"
If Zhang Jiao's death only showed the defeat of the Yellow Turban Army, then the Battle of Guangzong was tantamount to announcing the death of the Golden Age
