Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Yellow Turban Ends

The topographic map that Sun Jian finally put forward was very strange, even if Han Yi had not fought a defensive battle, he could see that something was wrong. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Changshan Jiumen County and Julu Xiaquyang County at the intersection of the county and county border, to the encirclement outside Jiumen County, there are a total of one large, two small and three roads that can lead to Jiumen County.

There are nine military villages on each road, and each military village is three miles apart, and there are 1,000 to 5,000 soldiers, and the total number is about 100,000. It almost occupies a place more than ten miles wide and more than thirty miles long. It can be said that it is a hundred miles of company camps, layer upon layer, and there is a trend of responding to hundreds of calls.

Although I have not been to the other four sides of Jiumen County to explore, according to the layout of the east side of Jiumen County, the other three sides should be the same arrangement. In other words, almost all of Jiumen County, a radius of a hundred miles, are thieves and barracks of this shape.

Dense is dense, strict is strict, Huangfu Song wants to break through, Zhang Wen wants to rescue, it can be described as a thousand difficulties. However, such a dense thief village is in the depths of winter, and a fire will not burn all the thieves clean.

No, Han Yi shook his head, Huangfu Song had also used fire attack tactics when he was fighting with Bocai in Changshe, and it was impossible not to find out about this problem. Thinking about the Yellow Turban's Heavenly Dao General's fire prevention strategy for the camp, there are other arrangements.

But if the strategy of fire attack fails, then if you want to attack the military fortress one by one, and defend such a well-defended military fortress, even if it is based on the casualty rate of one to one, it is bound to kill more than 400,000 or 500,000 troops, does the court have so many elite troops? Even if there is, this can almost be regarded as a battle for the whole country, does the court have this determination?

Han Yi, Sun Jian and the generals discussed with each other for a long time, and they all thought that judging from the layout on the surface, even if the thieves were a single army with no reinforcements, it would take three or five days to break through. However, if the thieves continue to provide backup, even if it is a single military village, it will not take more than half a month to break through, and it will be impossible to do it.

In the end, Sun Jian slapped his leg and shouted: "It turns out that the thief used the strategy of delaying the army. There are more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Jiumen County, and even if they consume two catties of grain a day, they will exceed 150,000 stone of grain in two months. Jiumen County is only a small county with more than 4,000 households, and there is so much food to eat, I am afraid that the food will be exhausted at this time, and it is more likely that the tragedy of cannibalism has occurred. ”

Han Yi was taken aback, cannibalism? This is a horrific tragedy that is both far and near. During the famine two years ago, Han Yi, Lu Ping, and Cheng Qi had nowhere to hunt even if they were hunting. For most of the wild beasts had nowhere to feed, and either starved to death or fled to a place where there was food.

Han Yi once saw a scraped corpse on the side of the road, and he thought it was strange at the time, and he didn't know what an unknown beast had done. Later, I heard Lu Ping say that this should be the work of a man-eating thief who has no food to eat. After Han Yi learned about it, he immediately felt creepy. Han Yi has not been worried about food since he was a child, and he was raised by the Zhu and Qiu families. The reason why I am grateful to the Zhu and Qiu families is precisely because of this.

In the past, cannibalism was due to disasters, such as the time of Emperor Xianhuan, in the spring and March of the ninth year of Yanxi, Sili and Yuzhou starved to death four or five, and there were those who destroyed households, and about three or four million people starved to death in these two places in just one year. In the first month of the spring of the third year of Jianning during the Han Emperor of this dynasty, the women of Hanoi ate their husbands, and the husbands of Henan people ate women. Two years ago the light and five years of the February pandemic. In the summer of the sixth year of light and the great drought. There are tragic things like cannibalism. However, because the army was trapped and cannibalized, it was before Guangwu Zhongxing. I didn't want such a tragic thing to happen right in front of my eyes.

Han Yi muttered: "Brother, I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult to break the thieves this time, and when we break through the Changshan bandits, not to mention the dead and wounded of our army, even the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Jiumen County are afraid that they will almost die." Zhang Jiao's brothers are all dead, and the main rebels are all gone, and I see that most of what the Heavenly Dao General did was just to save the court, not to rebel against the court. Why don't you and I go and suggest Xixianghou and Zhang Sikong, and talk to the thief to summon him, right? ”

Sun Jian was silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "Brother Xian's words are very true, the Yellow Turban Thieves want to make trouble, but the three Zhang Jiao brothers, once these three people die, the Yellow Turban Thieves will indeed be unable to succeed." I heard that this Heavenly Dao general often shows people with an iron face, although he is capable, but his prestige may not be as high as that of the Zhang Jiao brothers. There will inevitably be no idea of overthrowing the court. For the sake of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Jiumen County and the countless soldiers who are afraid of losing their lives in the future, it is time to consider a strategy of summoning and surrendering. It's just that you and I are lowly and low, and I'm afraid that no one will listen to what we say. ”

Han Yi sighed: "It's up to people to do things, it's up to heaven to make things happen, try your best to do it, so that you can be worthy of this heart." ”

Han Yi and Sun Jian asked the generals to sit and wait, and the two went to Zhu Yun's camp to meet together, Sun Jian first told the thieves in Jiumen County, and then analyzed the time and strength required to break through the 500,000 thieves one by one, and finally calculated that it would take more than half a year, and the death and injury rate of no less than 200,000 people.

Zhu Wei frowned when he heard this, and summoned other generals under his command to come to the big tent to discuss the war situation. Bao Hong, Zhang Chao and other generals also reported the situation of the enemy detected by the army to Zhu Wei, and said that the judgment of Han Yi and Sun Jian was too good, and the real time and casualties required were probably even more.

Zhu Yun remembered the grace of the former Huangfu Song, and most of the elite soldiers of the North and South Second Army in Jiumen County, and finally made up his mind to find Zhang Wen to persuade him to surrender.

As for what will happen in the future, Han Yi and Sun Jian are indeed lowly positions, so it is inconvenient to know the details. Since the members of the court have sent messages to Pegasus to discuss in the meantime, anyway, since this day on, the troops of the four states who came to gather in Xiaquyang County still continued to provide reinforcements, exceeding 100,000. However, the time of the attack has not followed, and the year is approaching, the soldiers are very war-weary, and the war period has become far away.

In the New Year's season, Han Yi, who had nothing to do, followed Sun Jian to visit the lieutenants and Sima of Sizhou everywhere, and met a lot of people, but there were few people who could be friendly with Han Yi and Sun Jian. is all self-contained, thinking that Han Yi and Sun Jian are just visiting, reserved and arrogant. Only Yilang Tao Qian, Liaodong Governor Shi Gongsun Zhan, Sima Zhang Yang under the command of Bingzhou Assassin Shi, Sima Xingju under the command of Captain Wuhuan and several other people can have friendly fellowship.

Half a month after Han Yi and Sun Jian proposed to summon the Changshan Yellow Turban, the news finally came, and the court remembered that the Changshan Yellow Turban was difficult to attack, and was reluctant to be trapped in Jiumen The 50,000 elites of the North and South Second Army were reluctant; In addition, Beigong Boyu, the leader of the Qiang people in Liangzhou, rebelled, and took Bian Yun, who was engaged in Liangzhou overseer, and Liangzhou engaged in Han Yue robbery as hostages, and the two had no choice but to change their names to Bian Zhang, and Han Sui joined the gang and promoted Bian Zhang as the leader. There is a great intention to enter the three assistants and invade the garden.

Liangzhou Qiang cavalry is the world's sharpest, more harmful than the dying yellow turban moth thief, if the army is implicated in Hebei for a long time, I am afraid that the Liangzhou thieves have no one to control, and the disaster will affect the three auxiliary divisions of the states. So he agreed to Zhang Wen and Zhu Wei's request to surrender, negotiated and summoned the Changshan Yellow Turban thieves, and was willing to ask the Changshan Yellow Turban to agree to send grain into Jiumen City.

It was another long wait, and after the envoys discussed with each other, the official result was finally reached after half a month. The court officially appointed General Tiandao as the general of Pingyan Zhonglang, the prime minister of Changshan State, and Yongzhen Changshan State. Everything in the country, including personnel appointments, was left to the Heavenly Dao General.

Changshan can recommend the three filial piety to the imperial court every year, and send officials to Luoyang to report on the national situation for a year. Every year, the Changshan Kingdom needed to send an army of 5,000 people to help the court fight against the thieves and rebels, in order to show its submission to the court.

The event has finally been decided, and the time has come to February of the second year of Zhongping. Huangfu Song, who had been trapped in Jiumen County in Changshan for four months, finally saw the light of day again, because of the killing of prisoners in Quyang County, Zhongshan, the 100,000 elite army of the court was almost destroyed, and he almost died in Changshan.

Even after the relief of the difficulty, the bad luck still did not disappear, and the court canceled all the previous achievements of Huangfu Song and went to prison for punishment. For him, this result is not without disastrous. Later, Zhu Wei and others interceded, and many ministers raised money for them to atone for their crimes. When the Han Emperor saw the bribe of ten thousand gold, he finally forgave Huangfu Song and only demoted him to a concubine.

Of the 200,000 troops gathered in Xiaquyang, Julu County, nearly 150,000 tired troops will be repatriated to the states, and the remaining 50,000 vital troops will follow Sikong Zhang Wen to Liangzhou to quell the rebellion. Sun Jian's army was pushed by Zhu Wei and was specially summoned by Zhang Wen to follow. As for Han Yi's army, it was among the repatriation. However, Han Yi himself needs to follow Zhu Yan to Luoyang City to receive a reward.

Han Yi finally met Yan Liang, the eldest brother who was always chattering about Wen Chou, Yan Liang was about twenty-seven or eight years old, with a white face and a long beard, phoenix eyes and a straight nose, and he had the image of a majestic general, living up to the name of "Yan Liang". Although he has been trapped in Jiumen County for several months, he still has not lost half of his heroic spirit.

Yan Liang spoke softly, and the atmosphere of the book was quite strong, but it was not as flamboyant as it looked. Seeing the ugliness of the text, the expression of appreciation on his face was overflowing. After Wen Chou saw Yan Liang, he immediately bowed to the ground, just like the honest dependence of the younger brother when he saw the eldest brother, and he no longer had the straightforward and heroic attitude when he intersected with Han Yi.

Han Yi secretly sighed, "Yan Liangwen is ugly", its name and its form and meaning are completely opposite, but the two can attract each other, and they have the meaning of living and dying together. In addition, both of them are brave and peerless, and with mutual assistance, they will definitely be able to become famous in Hebei in the future, so that the name of "Yan Liangwen and Ugly" will be displayed in the world. Han Yi regretted that Wen Chou couldn't help him succeed, and at the same time, he secretly decided in his heart that he would quickly achieve a higher position than Yan Liang in his official position, and then he would take all the two of them under his command.

The brothers Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang left as promised, because there was no war this time, and the Lu brothers were a little embarrassed to receive the heavy gift. So he patted his chest and promised that next time Han Yi was called, he would define an unshirkable thousands of miles to help.

As for Gao Lan, he muttered that he wanted to go to Luoyang City with Han Yi to see what heroes and heroes there were in the imperial capital Luoyang, and he could fight with him Gao Junyue.
