Chapter 241: Food Crisis

Last time, it was said that Zhao Yun wanted to return to the Han Dynasty and was rejected, so he could only continue to carry out Zhang Liang's order to withdraw from Jizhou.

However, Zhao Yun is not as frustrated as Zhang Bao, although he is in a bad mood, he is not angry with those people who are unwilling to leave their homes.

For the Taiping sect members who were unwilling to leave with the Yellow Turban Army, Zhao Yun was useless, although he had no way to break away from the Yellow Turban Army, but he still hated the Yellow Turban Army for forcing him onto the thief ship at the beginning, so he didn't care about the Taiping Sect disciples at all, so he let those Taiping Sect disciples who were unwilling to leave fend for themselves.

As for the ordinary people, Zhao Yun treats others with himself, and he himself doesn't want to be a thief, so he didn't force the people who didn't want to leave to go together. If he wasn't afraid that he wouldn't be able to explain to Zhang Liang, he probably wouldn't have mobilized those people to evacuate with the Yellow Turban Army at all.

Just as the Yellow Turban Army was withdrawing, the Han Army was also moving. However, they did not pursue the Yellow Turbans who were evacuating, they only recovered their lost territory as quickly as possible after the Yellow Turbans left.

The Han army did not want to leave the Yellow Turban Thieves, the remnants of the Taiping Sect, and the people who were coerced by the Yellow Turban Thieves, but they also tried to send a small force to bypass Zhang Liang's main force, intending to sneak attack the Yellow Turban Thieves who were organizing the evacuation. But every time the harassing troops were dispatched, they were ambushed and suffered heavy losses.

Huangfu Song didn't think about a direct confrontation with Zhang Liang's main force. He had already led the Han army to fight Zhang Liang, but he did not have an advantage. The impression left by the Yellow Turban Thieves on Huangfu Song is that they are too crazy, they simply don't regard themselves as human beings, and they are completely deadly.

In that duel, both sides suffered heavy losses, and in the end, the battle ended because the sun went down and the sky was too dark, and both sides withdrew their troops and truce. Although the Han army was superior in numbers, post-war statistics found that the ratio of both the Han army and the Yellow Turban thieves was three to two. If you want to completely destroy Zhang Liang's 20,000 army, the Han army has to suffer heavy losses. However, Zhang Liang's 20,000 troops were only the number on the cards, and Huangfu Song believed that the Yellow Turban Thieves could recruit troops from the Taiping Sect at any time. And it is not that the Han army cannot increase its troops, but the difficulty of the Han army's increase is relatively high.

When Huangfu Song left Luoyang and did not enter Jizhou, he had already heard the rumors of the DPRK asking for a change of commander, some people said that he was not familiar with the Yellow Turban Thief, and suggested that He Meng, who was familiar with the situation of the Yellow Turban Thief, should be the coach. Even if Huangfu Song thinks with his toes, he can understand that this is definitely He Jin's ghost.

The reason why Huangfu Song's army did not wait for any auspicious day and auspicious time to set off was because he received the news of the infighting in the Yellow Turban Army. It is estimated that He Jin and those people think that the current yellow turban thief is a soft persimmon that can be kneaded at will, so they plan to change people to pick peaches. But because Huangfu Song didn't make a mistake, He Jin didn't come forward himself. Without He Jin's pressure, Liu Hong vetoed the proposal to change the coach.

But if Huangfu Song crippled the army in his hands and asked the court for more troops, it is difficult to say whether he can continue to sit in the handsome position. It is estimated that some people in the court will say: "The Yellow Turban Thief is infighting, and his strength is greatly damaged, and the Huangfu Zuolang General will also be damaged by the Yellow Turban Thief who has lost his strength, which shows that his ability is insufficient." "Yunyun.

Since the Yellow Turban Army has given Jizhou out of its own hands and has given it to him for nothing, there is no need for Huangfu Song to fight the Yellow Turban thieves to the death, and he will recover Jizhou first.

What Huang Fu Song didn't know was that the Yellow Turban Army's equipment replenishment was very tight, even if they could recruit Taiping Sect followers to make up for the army's shortage in time, but there were no new weapons for these recruits, unless the Yellow Turban Army could recover the weapons left on the battlefield in time. And this time, the main forces of the two sides faced off, and the Yellow Turban Army could not return their weapons in time, resulting in heavy losses.

After that decisive battle, Huangfu Song himself led 20,000 Han troops, kept a distance from Zhang Liang's subordinates, and fell behind Zhang Liang. And there are less than 10,000 people left, and Huangfu Song sent Zhu Jun to lead the team, and the place where the Yellow Turban Thief had withdrawn in the past.

In this way, one of the two sides took the initiative to withdraw, and the other only followed without provocation, and the situation remained delicately calm.

Huangfu Song didn't continue to trouble the Yellow Turban Thief, not entirely because he was afraid of being taken down by He Jin, in fact, he had other plans in his heart, he planned to wait, and wait for the Yellow Turban Thief to run out of food. In his prediction, the Yellow Turban Thieves retreated with so many people, which was an act of self-destruction. Originally, the land in Jizhou could only support such a few people, but now that the Yellow Turban thieves have taken the initiative to give up the land, and they don't know where they are going to retreat, and their population has not decreased accordingly, then their food crisis will soon appear. As long as the Yellow Turban thieves are short of food, then killing them is not like playing? No matter how crazy their soldiers are, they have nothing to eat, look how crazy they are!

At this time, Zhang Liang also discovered this problem and was discussing countermeasures with Zhang Ping. Zhang Liang didn't suddenly become bright-headed, but there was no food and grass supplement in the army recently, although the grain and grass were still sufficient, but he couldn't make up for it, and he would have to eat it sooner or later. Only then did Zhang Liang realize the seriousness of the food problem.

Zhang Liang said with a bitter face: "Ping'er, we have given up Jizhou, and the food will not be supplied." ”

When Zhang Ping heard this, he also felt that his head was big. He was not a farmer in his previous life, and he couldn't get some golden fingers for the agricultural level of the late Han Dynasty. During the crossing, he heard that potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn were artifacts, but these were all specialties of the Americas, and if he wanted to get them back, there were too many tasks in front of him and too high-tech, and they were far from quenching his thirst.

He remembered that in history, Zhang Yan also hid in Montenegro with the remnants of the Yellow Turban to continue the struggle, but he didn't know how Zhang Yan did it, nor did he know the number of people under Zhang Yan's rule.

There is no golden finger, there is no object to refer to, Zhang Ping's eyes are black, and he doesn't know how to answer Zhang Liang's question.

If Montenegro is near the sea, it will be easy to do, and there will be a lot of food in the sea.

Right! Ocean! Zhang Ping felt that he had thought of a solution.

Zhang Ping said with high interest: "Third uncle, you immediately order Changshan Zhao Yun not to continue to move to Montenegro, let him transfer to Youzhou, enter Qingzhou, and then go to the direction of Beihai County in Qingzhou." After we meet with our second uncle in Montenegro, we will also arrange for the sect members to go to Beihai County in batches. ”

Zhang Liang didn't know why, and asked, "What are you doing in Beihai?" ”

Zhang Ping replied: "If you go fishing over there, you can also grow some seaweed, kelp, and even get some fish steaks to raise fish." ”

Zhang Liang said with a relieved face: "Ping'er knows a lot. I've never heard of what you're talking about! ”

Zhang Ping blushed and said weakly: "Actually, I don't understand it, I know a little bit, let's arrange for them to try it first." ”
