Text Chapter 23 Five things and seven plans
The first battle of the Changsha can be said to be a performance commanded by one person of Huangfu Song.
Zhou Yi and Cao Cao can only be reduced to supporting roles, at best, they arrived in time, which is just the icing on the cake.
Dian Wei was another beneficiary of the First World War of the Chosha. If Huangfu Song is famous for his strategy in the art of war, Dian Wei is powerful all over the world with his personal bravery. Bo Cai has the courage of Wanfu and the posture of an overlord, and the first warrior of the Yellow Turban was killed by Dian Wei one-on-one, achieving the unparalleled prestige of Dian Wei.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion was like opening Pandora's box, and heroes and heroes emerged one after another.
There is Guan Yu, a good person, and five generals outside Luoyang City are beheaded in a row to relieve the siege of Luoyang and the difficulty of the imperial court.
There is Chen Liuren Dian Wei, who killed Bocai outside the city of Changshe, and he is unparalleled in battle.
There is Sun Jian, a native of Wu County, who has achieved the reputation of the Jiangdong Tiger by taking the city with one horse.
There is Gongsun Zhan, a native of Liaoxi, who formed Baimayi and was invincible.
There are Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Zhou Yi and other soldiers who are good at fighting and attacking everywhere.
There are also the Han gods of war Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi and others who control the world's soldiers and horses to encircle and suppress the Yellow Turban.
Anyone, as long as he wants to make achievements in the Han Dynasty, can brush his existence on the yellow scarf.
The Han Dynasty has been peaceful for a long time, and the class is solidified, and ordinary people usually have no chance to get ahead. Now that the Yellow Turban is in rebellion, the opportunity to change class and origin is just around the corner, how can heroes from all walks of life let it go. The males flocked to the flock like sharks that smelled fishy.
The interests of the imperial court and the goals of the heroes highly coincided, and the Yellow Turban became precarious.
Zhu Jun's soldiers went to Nanyang, Huangfu Song's soldiers went out of Dongjun, and Lu Zhi coerced Zhang Jiao's old nest Guangzong.
The successive victories seemed to have boosted the confidence of the imperial court and the Spirit Emperor, who mistakenly believed that the Yellow Turban Rebellion was vulnerable and could be quickly put down. So the imperial court sent a prison army to inspect everywhere and urge the battle.
However, the most fearful thing about fighting a war is not knowing how to command blindly. The main force of the Yellow Turbans on the Nanyang side was already defeated, and the Han army only had to take advantage of the victory to pursue it. In order to exterminate the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, the proportion of casualties of the Han army skyrocketed. However, the imperial court ignored it and constantly ordered attacks, hoping to quickly put down the rebellion.
Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song faced a relatively optimistic situation and could act according to the will of the imperial court, but Guangzong was busy and Lu Zhi was facing a completely different situation.
The three brothers of Zhang Jiao are all there, and the main force of the Yellow Turban Rebellion is concentrated in Guangzong, although Lu Zhi commands the army to win successive battles, but it is impossible to quickly take Guangzong. At this time, the Yellow Turbans had plenty of food and grass, their morale was not reduced, and they occupied the city for defense. The Han army could only camp and defend first, make siege equipment, and find an opportunity to attack the city again.
Zuo Feng, the little yellow gate who came with his will, urged Lu Zhi to step up the attack. Lu Zhi is the commander of the three armies, and the famous generals of the Han Dynasty know well that the generals will not be subject to the orders of the monarch outside, and ignore Zuo Feng. Zuo Feng took the opportunity to ask Lu Zhi for a bribe, Lu Zhi is the leader of the world's clear stream, a great Confucian in the sea, how could he bribe the eunuch.
I thought I got a good errand, but I didn't expect to come to Lu Zhijun and suffer a lot of anger, the more Zuo Feng thought about it, the more he felt that it was not worth it, thinking about other small yellow gate inspection places, that was not greeted with a smile, and he responded to his request. Lu Zhi dared to treat himself like this, he must make Lu Zhi look good, and no matter how he said it, he had to give Lu Zhi some eye medicine in front of the emperor.
The little people are not terrible, the terrible ones are the villains, and the more terrible ones are the villains with power.
In this way, the dignified commander of the three armies was plotted by a villain. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty thought that Lu Zhi was unfavorable in the war, so he supported his troops and ordered Lu Zhi to return to Beijing and be imprisoned.
If Zhou Yi was still in Luoyang at this time, he could also warn Zuo Feng before the incident, and if he was in Lu Zhijun, he could also think of resolving the matter. But Zhou Yi was following Huangfu Song to conquer Dongjun at this time, and the whip was beyond his reach. can only give up, this time Lu Zhi is only in prison, not in danger of his life.
Dong Zhuo, who succeeded Lu Zhi's command, attacked Guangzong and was defeated, losing his troops and losing his generals. As a last resort, Huangfu Song continued to go north, Zhou Yi accompanied him, and Cao Cao led his troops to continue to pacify Dongjun.
Guan Yu was sent by the cheeky Cao Cao to have no generals in the army, which made Zhou Yi's whole flesh hurt. It's just that Guan Yu is also a general of the imperial court now, and he also has to listen to the dispatch of the imperial court. Dian Wei is still free and went north to Guangzong with Zhou Yi, and Zhou Yi felt better.
Zhu Jun's attack on Nanyang for a long time did not stop Zhao Hong, and Emperor Ling was furious and wanted to edict Zhu Jun to return to Beijing, but in view of Lu Zhi's experience and the persuasion of the courtiers, he could only give up. Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty also received a lesson at this time, compared to the loss of troops and generals, no one is available, and the temporary loss of some grain and grass is nothing. Zhu Jun escaped.
The eyes of the whole world are gathered in Guangzong, and half of the world's soldiers and horses are also gathered here.
Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army, Huangfu Song's Imperial Forbidden Army, Lu Zhi's Fifth Colonel of the Northern Army, Youzhou's local army such as Gongsun Zhan's White Horse Yicong, Yuan Shao's Xiandeng Dead and Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban Army, totaling more than 500,000 people.
Commanding such a large army requires a sophisticated command system and the art of command. Huangfu Song is undoubtedly an expert in the field of Han command. The Han army was well organized, and the advance and retreat were well-founded. On the other hand, on the Yellow Turban side, the number of people was huge, the battle was invincible for a long time, the morale of the army was fluctuating, and Zhang Jiao was seriously ill and died, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao were difficult to convince the public.
Sun Tzu said: Who is the Lord? Who will be capable? Who has heaven and earth? What is the law? Which of the soldiers is stronger? Soldiers' training? What is the reward and punishment? That's how I know what to do.
The Lord has the right to say who can occupy the morality, and the politics of the two sides are compared, and it is the leadership of the monarchs of the two sides. The Han Dynasty was an imperial bureaucratic system that had been inherited for hundreds of years, and the Yellow Turban relied on religious beliefs, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. But the Yellow Turban only believed in Zhang Jiao alone, and when Zhang Jiao died, the Yellow Turban immediately fell apart.
Who is capable, it is said that whose generals are more capable. In this regard, the Yellow Turban cannot be compared with the Han Dynasty, and the highly educated people in this era are all members of the scholar clan, standing on the side of the Han Dynasty, such as Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Zhou Yi, Gongsun Zhan, etc. The generals of the Yellow Turbans were all born in a hurry, and they can only be said to have the strength of bravery, and if they want to say that they are fighting in a unified army, they are not of a grade worse. This plan of the yellow scarf failed.
Heaven and earth are the time, the place, and the people. Although the slogan played by the Yellow Turban is "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand", but this is only the time when the horns are obscene, although the Han Dynasty has border troubles, but there is no strong enemy, and the political foundation of the court has not been shaken. At the same time, Luoyang occupies a geographical location that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and has the strong support of families from all over the world. This plan is a failure.
Laws and regulations, which soldiers are stronger, and which soldiers are trained are talking about military discipline, combat effectiveness, and training in peacetime. The main force of the Han is the regular army, and the yellow turbans are just homeless people, and they may still be farming at home last year, how can they be compared with the regular army. This plan of the yellow scarf failed by three.
The reward and punishment are clear, and it is the incentive system. The incentive system of the religious system is simple and crude, and more spiritual. On the other hand, the Han Dynasty fully delegated power and fully mobilized the enthusiasm of the local authorities. The economic base determines the superstructure, and material incentives are sometimes much more powerful than purely spiritual incentives. This plan of the yellow scarf failed again.
"Five things and seven plans", and then know the victory or defeat, and then raise troops to fight a decisive battle.
The five things are the five aspects of the Tao, the heavens, the earth, the generals, and the law. The seven things are the seven subjects of the master, the will, the heaven and the earth, the law and the law, the soldiers, the soldiers, the soldiers, and the rewards and punishments.
No matter how you calculate it, the yellow scarf is a sure defeat.
Huangfu Song also lived up to expectations. Taking advantage of Zhang Jiao's death, Huangfu Song seized the opportunity to lead the Han army to take Guangzong in a battle and kill Zhang Liang. Later, he killed Zhang Bao in Quyang. At the same time, Zhu Jun pacified Nanyang, and Cao Cao pacified Dongjun.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion was thus put down.
