Chapter 14: Blossoming Everywhere

Liu Xie's army released the carrier pigeon flew all the way through the mountains, rivers and forests, and finally came to a county seat outside Jizhou, if someone passed by this county at this time, they would see the gate of the county town branded with two big characters: giant deer.

At this time, in the county capital of Julu County, Zhang Jiao sat in the middle of the hall, and there were civil and military generals standing on the left and right sides. People who don't know look at it, and they really don't believe that this is the peasant army that just rebelled a few days ago, and this dress is clearly the pattern of the imperial court that has been established for a long time.

It turned out that Zhang Jiao had been planning a rebellion since more than ten years ago, of course, according to Zhang Jiao, the sky was dead, and Huang Tian should stand. As soon as the rebellion broke out, Zhang Jiao put on the long-awaited formation in Julu. Everything is emulating the imperial court under centralized power.

On this day, Zhang Jiao was convening a meeting of the generals, preparing to discuss the current development of the Yellow Turban Army and where it should develop. A group of people were talking lively, and suddenly a man in armor walked in out of the door, and no one was announced, so he swaggered in. looked at Zhang Jiao in the middle of the hall and called: Big brother, there is a letter from Luoyang.

Zhang Jiao looked at the man who came in and secretly frowned, and saw that the person who came was going to continue, so he quickly stopped him: Second brother, don't talk nonsense, follow me to the back. It turned out that the man who came in was Zhang Jiao's second brother Zhang Bao, the general of the land in the mouth. Zhang Bao saw that his eldest brother was a little unhappy, and he was too frightened to speak, so he hurriedly followed Zhang Jiao to the backyard.

Zhang Bao stood still in front of Zhang Jiao, looked at Zhang Jiao and said: Big brother, the letter from Luoyang, after speaking, the letter in his hand was handed to Zhang Jiao, and he also asked: Brother, who is sending the letter, I don't know how to start over.

Zhang Jiao quickly put the contents of the letter aside, looked at Zhang Bao and said angrily: Don't ask if you don't know, go to the front and invite Mr. Wenhe to the backyard, so that the other people in the front hall will disperse.

Zhang Bao agreed, then returned to the hall, and said very politely to the person standing at the front of the civil official team: Mr. Wenhe, eldest brother, please go to the backyard to discuss matters. Then Zhang Bao turned his head and said to everyone in the hall: Big brother, let you all disperse, each of you is busy. After speaking, he took Mr. Wenhe and walked towards the backyard.

Everyone in the hall looked at Zhang Bao's back, glanced at it fiercely, and then got up and left. Mr. Wenhe turned his head and saw the eyes of Zhang Bao in the hall, so Mr. Wenhe shook his head secretly, and sighed in his heart: Tiger brother and cat brother, they look the same, and their personalities are indeed completely different.

Zhang Bao and Mr. Wenhe came to the backyard, stood in front of Zhang Jiao, and looked at Zhang Jiao still in a daze at the note, Mr. Wenhe couldn't help but be curious about the content of the note.

Where Zhang Bao stood, coughed heavily, waking up the pensive Zhang Jiao, Zhang Jiao came back to his senses and saw that Zhang Bao and Mr. Wenhe had arrived, so he said sorry to Mr. Wenhe, and then looked back at Zhang Bao and said: You go out first, I have something to talk about with Mr. Wenhe.

Zhang Bao glanced at Zhang Jiao, and left very unwillingly.

Zhang Jiao waited until Zhang Bao completely left the backyard before beckoning Mr. Wenhe to sit down, picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup for Mr. Wenhe, and handed the note in his hand to Mr. Wenhe. Mr. Wenhe took the note handed over by Zhang Jiao with both hands and looked at the content of the note seriously.

Zhang Jiao didn't say until Mr. Wenhe finished reading it and put down the note: Mr. Wenhe, what do you think of this news. Mr. Wenhe thought for a while and said: From the day we moved, we knew that this move would lead to a large-scale siege by the imperial court, but we couldn't imagine how determined the imperial court was, and they were willing to let a prince of the court personally conquer, so they were not afraid of any mistakes?

Originally, we had to face Lu Zhi's army, and now our enemy has to add a large army of Liu Xie, the prince of Han, and this army is led by Liu Xie, the prince of Han, we can guess that this army must be very elite, and the soldiers are estimated to be ten with one, and if we want to besiege and kill Liu Xie, we must prepare a minimum of 100,000 troops.

Hearing the 100,000 army, Zhang Jiao was taken aback, and stood up directly, and after a long time, Zhang Jiao, who had regained his composure, sat down again, where he sat and secretly calculated whether the existing army could meet the requirements. Finally, Zhang Jiao sighed and looked at Mr. Wenhe and said: "Sir, we now have 100,000 troops in our hands, but those are all peasants we have just recruited, and among them, there are less than 10,000 elites, and 10,000 people are used to besiege and kill Liu Xie, and in the end, I am afraid that the result is that the siege is not successful.

Mr. Wen He also knew very well about the military strength of the Yellow Turban Army, and he also knew that relying on the existing military strength, it would be very difficult to besiege Liu Xie and then march into Luoyang, and it could almost be said that there was no hope of success. So he thought for a moment and said, "General, it seems that we have to find a way."

When Zhang Jiao heard what Mr. Wenhe said, he asked curiously: What is the plan?

Mr. Wenhe looked at Zhang Jiao and slowly explained: We can let the army attack everywhere, the Han Dynasty has been peaceful for a long time, and the hinterland of the Central Plains has not been at war for a long time, I believe that as long as we send a large army, the hinterland of the Central Plains will be at our disposal. At this time, our territory is bigger, and when we face Liu Xie, we can also have more room to turn around, and we can recruit troops from these places that we have conquered, now we have 100,000 troops, and we have 10,000 elites, so if we have a million troops, we can choose the elites from these million troops, and how many elites can we select at that time?

Mr. Wenhe's words completely moved Zhang Jiao, where Zhang Jiao sits, fantasizing that he commands a million army, and when the time comes, the great rivers and mountains will not be at his mercy. Zhang Jiao excitedly shook Mr. Wenhe's hand and said: Mr. is my ovary.

Ovary? Hearing Zhang Jiao's words, Mr. Wenhe secretly said in his heart, then you have to be Liu Bang.

Mr. Wenhe continued to analyze Zhang Jiao and said: We attack everywhere, and another advantage is that we can disperse Liu Xie's troops, if Liu Xie sees the fire in the hinterland of the Central Plains, will he send his soldiers to quell the chaos, then Liu Xie's soldiers will be reduced a lot, and when we besiege and kill Liu Xie, we may not need 100,000 elite divisions.

Mr. Wenhe's words were said by Zhang Jiao nodded again and again. Agreed.

Finally, Mr. Wen He said: Then from now on, we have to prepare for this, the city in front of Lu Zhi cannot be defeated too easily, and we must order the defenders, hold the city, and buy time for our plan. It is also necessary to have an elite army bypass Lu Zhi, and in Lu Zhi's rear, constantly create obstacles to the advance of Liu Xie's army, and also take the opportunity to cut off Lu Zhi's grain and grass transportation line.

Mr. Wenhe's words completely opened Zhang Jiao's horizons, and it turned out that he planned to gain a firm foothold in Julu, attack everywhere, and conquer the city. But now that the situation has changed, his plans must also change with him.

Zhang Jiao was eager to arrange for the army to attack everywhere and expand the army now.
