Chapter 467: Desperate Bullet Exhaustion
?? Chapter 467: Running out of ammunition and food to go to Huangquan together
Zhang Jiao felt that his life was a tragedy.
Lost his father at a young age, lost his mother at a young age, lost his wife in middle age, and lost his old age......
Nanhua Daoren is Zhang Jiao's most respected master, but he has been using him from beginning to end to achieve the conspiracy of the hundred schools.
Zhang Jiao thought that he had broken the cage prepared for him by the hundred schools, but when he reacted, he realized that it was just a bigger cage.
Providence is irreversible, and the heavens will be hurt by the sky after all, that's it, the old man is also tired!
After a long sigh, Zhang Jiao looked at Zhong Qu Shuai and asked softly: "Does anyone still remember the original intention of my Yellow Turban to raise troops?" ”
"Fight for the people of the world." All Qu Shuai shouted loudly together.
"I know everything." Zhang Jiao glanced at everyone and shouted angrily, "But how did you do it? Aren't the people of Luoyang the people? ”
All the commanders looked ashamed.
Between preserving themselves and sacrificing the people, everyone chose to preserve themselves, and they didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it, but they deviated from the original intention.
"This time, my yellow scarf may lose, but it will definitely not be the big man who has the last laugh. The war has brought too many disasters to the people, and the people have long been overwhelmed, and the Han can ignore the death of the people, but we can't. Let's divide the grain...... Ahem......"
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Jiao spurted out a mouthful of blood, and all Qu Shuai exclaimed when they saw this.
"Master." "Great Virtuous Teacher."
In the third year of Zhongping, February 21.
Under the order of the great sage and mentor Zhang Jiao, the yellow scarf officially opened a position.
After the news came out, the people of Luoyang couldn't believe it was true.
But when bags of relief grain were distributed, the people of Luoyang understood who was really on the side of the people.
Under the rule of the Yellow Turbans, the land was distributed to the people, corrupt officials and corrupt officials were punished, and unjust, false and wrongful cases were retried.
As for the big man, it's all tears when you think about it!
Under the rule of the Han Dynasty, the powerful families continued to oppress the people, and corrupt officials were everywhere in various states, and the people could not survive at all.
Compared with the yellow scarf, it is really much better, but how do the people of Luoyang reciprocate?
Constantly resist the Yellow Turban's policy of benefiting the people and reject all the goodwill of the Yellow Turban.
Now that I think about it, isn't it that I can't get along with myself?
Zhang Jiao's act of repaying grievances with virtue made the hearts of most Luoyang people full of shame, and finally forgot the hatred they once had.
Since then, even the people of Luoyang, who was once the imperial capital, have begun to spit on the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty has completely borne the name of 'tyrant', and no one can block the mouths of the people of the world.
The Han may have won the war, but he completely lost the hearts of the people;
Although the Yellow Turban lost the war, it won the praise of the people of the world, and even the Han army admired it at all!
February 22.
Zhang Jiao ordered Zhu Yuanzhang to serve as the chief general, and led Wei Xuding, Li Jinyuexi and other generals to lead 300,000 elite troops to attack Dagu Pass, preparing for the final desperate gamble.
As early as before the war, Bai Qi expected that the Yellow Turban would be desperate, considering that there was no shortage of troops in the north and south, so Bai Qi applied to Qin Hao for reinforcements in advance.
Qin Hao gave Bai Qi 30,000 reinforcements, and asked Ran Min, Xue Rengui and the three generals of Xiong Kuohai to go to help, and also wrote a letter to Huang Fu Song, hoping that Huang Fu Song could also divide his troops to support Bai Qi.
After receiving the letter, Huangfu Song ordered Han Xin and Qin Jian to lead an army of 30,000 troops to Dagu Pass to support.
With 60,000 reinforcements, Otani Pass's troops were unprecedentedly rich.
Bai Qi sent 30,000 troops to support this Liao to deal with the Yellow Turban Army in the direction of Yanzhou, and he only relied on 50,000 defenders to block the onslaught of 300,000 troops.
March 15th.
Under the onslaught of more than 20 days, Dagu Pass is still as stable as Mount Tai, but the grain and grass on the front line are about to run out.
Zhu Yuanzhang continued to attack while going to Luoyang Cui Liang.
Now the food supply of all people in Luoyang has been changed to one meal a day in the city, and all food is given priority to the army.
The people of Luoyang also chose to understand this, after all, the yellow scarves themselves couldn't hold on, but they gave them a meal, and they really did their best.
The yellow scarf adopted the method of opening up sources and reducing expenditure, while tightening the belt of his pants and trying to raise food by all means.
Zhang Sheng directly let the army spread out in the land of Sizhou, and through all available methods such as hunting, fishing, and digging wild vegetables, he found edible food to supply the army on the front line.
But this is only barely enough for the military and civilians in Luoyang, and it won't last long at all.
The Yellow Turban Army and the people of Luoyang gritted their teeth and carried it for another month through various methods, but Zhu Yuanzhang still failed to capture Dagu Pass.
After a carpet search, the wild beasts in the mountains were basically hunted and killed, the fish in the water were also caught, the roots of wild vegetables and trees were dug up, and even the sparrows in the sky were shot out.
The Yellow Turbans have been completely cut off from food, and there is no food to be found around Luoyang, and nearly 1,000 people and soldiers are starving to death every day, and some have even begun to gnaw on corpses.
April 15, Luoyang, Imperial Palace.
Zhang Jiao, who was about to run out of oil and lamp, stood at the top of the palace steps, looking at Luoyang City, which was full of mourning, and his heart was peaceful.
"Although I am defeated, I want to leave a fire for the yellow scarf."
Zhang Jiao muttered to himself, and then asked, "Is Zhu Yuanzhang back?" ”
Before Zhang Sheng could answer, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was covered in scars, had already stood up, and his eyes were full of shame and self-blame: "The last general is ashamed of his trust in his mentor, and he ......is not enough to die."
"Kid, it's not your fault."
"Great Virtuous Teacher."
"Call me Master, from today on, you Zhu Ming and Zhu Yuanzhang will be my closed disciple of Zhang Jiao."
"Master."
Zhu Yuanzhang cried loudly, at this moment he hated his incompetence extremely much, why couldn't he break through the Dagu Pass?
Zhang Jiao said to Zhang Sheng and the others beside him: "Sheng'er, you take the mountain road to leave Sizhou, go to Yanzhou to re-raise the banner of my yellow scarf, don't think about tyranny and softness, one day my yellow scarf will definitely destroy the Han Dynasty." ”
Although the four gates of Sizhou were indeed blocked, it was actually only the army that was locked, and if a few people crossed the mountains, it would be impossible for the Han army to stop them.
Zhang Sheng was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Father, what should you do after the child leaves?" ”
Zhang Jiao had already looked down on life and death, and said lightly: "I thought that my father's current physical condition, if he was still climbing mountains and mountains, he would definitely die on the road, this is not the way to die for my father." ”
"If the father doesn't go, neither does the child." Zhang Sheng said stubbornly, tears flowing out of his cheeks unconsciously.
"Silly boy." Zhang Jiao stroked away Zhang Sheng's tears and said lovingly: "Even if there is no defeat, there is still not much time to be a father, so there is no need to be sad for your father." ”
