Chapter 112: Arriving at Chenliu
Three days later, Liu Fan left Yingchuan County.
In Yingchuan, every time Liu Fan passed through a county, he felt the atmosphere of being supported by all the people.
Yang Zhai is like this, Changshe is like this, and even Yanling County, which Liu Fan has never been to.
After leaving Yingchuan County, Liu Fan was relieved. I don't know when and what month will I come to Yingchuan County next? In what capacity did you come to Yingchuan County?
He only hoped that the next time he came to Yingchuan County, the people would be stable, and he didn't need to use his sword again.
Liu Fan did not order the cavalry to go first. When the siege of Changsha was solved, the soldiers were fast. He wants to compete with Huangfu Song.
Now the date of Liu Fan's trip to Dongjun to pacify the Yellow Turban is one month earlier than the time when Huangfu Song pacified the Yellow Turban in Dongjun in history.
When he was in Changshe and Yangzhai, Liu Fan found that the soldiers and horses were slightly insufficient, and he fought steadily, and 5,000 soldiers and horses marched towards Dongjun together.
"The Yellow Turbans of Yanzhou are all gathered in Dongjun, and the leader of the Yellow Turbans in Yanzhou is Bu Ji. Bu Ji was originally a yellow turban in Qingzhou, and because of the implementation of the Zhangjiao strategy, he went west to Yanzhou East County. If you want to go along the Yellow River and Ruying Yellow Turban, you will reach Luoyang. However, at this moment, Zhang Jiao's plan is a fool's dream, and Bu Jijiu has been attacking Puyang City in Dongjun for a long time, and he is in a dilemma. On the way to the army, Liu Fan said to Guan Yu, Huang Zhong and others.
"Is it possible that Bu Ji was afraid of the might of our army and led the Yellow Turban to retreat to Qingzhou again." Huang Zhong asked Liu Fan.
"When the Yellow Turban marched eastward, it was the time when the morale was sharpest, and the strong soldiers of Pingyuan County, Jinan County and other counties did not dare to resist it. But since His Majesty issued an order to allow the powerful officials in various places to recruit strong men to resist the Yellow Turbans on their own, both the government and the powerful forces have grown sharply, and the small Yellow Turbans in various places have been purged, and the Haoqiang and the government will not watch the Yellow Turbans retreat from their territory, which is a very great credit. The Yellow Turbans of Dongjun are already in a state of despair. Liu Fan thought deeply and said.
"Our army does not have to take a short road into Jiyin County, but directly through Chenliu from south to north through Chenliu and directly to Dongjun. Puyang is in the southernmost part of Dongjun, and after our army left Chenliu in the north, it is only one county away from Puyang. After destroying the Yellow Turban, the main force of the East County, even if there are still Yellow Turbans in the other counties, they will disperse. Huang Zhong spread out the five-foot-long and wide map in his hand and suggested to Liu Fan.
This map is not the same tattered map as it was in Yingchuan. This was issued by the imperial court and made during the period of Emperor Heng. Including Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Yuzhou county and county pavilions, there are river direction and mountain markers, which is a very important strategic map.
Chen Liu is the governor of Yanzhou Prefecture, and at this time, the Yellow Turban in Chenliu County has been extinguished by the Yanzhou Assassin Envoy without support.
If Bu Ji can't conquer Puyang, he won't be able to reach Chenliu. Bocai can't take Yingchuan, and the main force can't reach Chenliu.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion was a life-and-death game between Zhang Jiao and the imperial court.
If you make a wrong move, you will lose the whole game.
Since Ma Yuanyi, the generous leader of the troops stationed in Yecheng, was hunted and killed by the imperial court, Zhang Jiao has made a wrong move. And then it went wrong. As it stands, the Yellow Turbans have no chance of winning.
"What Hansheng said is very true." Liu Fan nodded and said.
Just like Yuzhou, after pacifying Yingchuan, Runan, and Chen, the yellow turbans in Lu, Liang, and Pei were either washed their hands and returned to the people, or they were wiped out by the local tyrants, and they had no ability to resist at all.
"Lord, the real main force of the Yellow Turban is in Jizhou, and Zhang Jiao, who is known as the general of Tiangong, is also in Jizhou. After pacifying Yanzhou, whether to go to Jizhou. Guan Yu also asked Liu Fan at this time.
"Of course, Yanzhou is just a springboard for us to go north to Jizhou, and after pacifying Yanzhou, we will continue to go north to Jizhou." Liu Fan replied to Guan Yu solemnly.
Liu Fan was still waiting, he knew that the Yellow Turban in Jizhou was commanded by Zhang Jiao, there were 200,000 people, and the city was high and the food was sufficient. Zhang Jiao is the soul of the Yellow Turban, and his appeal is very strong, and the Guangzong City that Zhang Jiao adheres to can be said to be impregnable.
What's more, Lu Zhi, the commander of the Northern Army, is no longer there, and changing generals on the spot is a taboo for soldiers. Especially when the Lord will be loved by the soldiers and have no faults.
The morale of the Northern Army is no longer as vigorous as it was at the beginning. Even if Dong Zhuo led the troops well and fought bravely, he would not be able to control the elite northern army.
After Dong Zhuo was defeated by Zhang Jiao, after Zhang Jiao was full of desire for victory, it was when he Liu Fan went north.
The water is controlled by the land, and the soldiers are defeated by the enemy. Water is impermanent, and soldiers are impermanent. Those who can win due to the change of the enemy are called gods.
The way of the soldier is the weirdest.
Many military books are all from Sun Wu. A "The Art of War", the art of war in the world, is worthy of being a holy book of military science. Even 1,800 years later, The Art of War is the world's first military book.
"After I go to Jizhou, I should personally kill Zhang Jiao's head and dedicate it to the lord." Guan Yu is relieved.
"Yun Chang has already made outstanding contributions, why rob me of my credit, Zhang Jiao's head Huang Hansheng is scheduled." Huang Zhong smiled heartily and said.
Huang Zhong, like Zhao Chongguo and Ma Yuan of the Han Dynasty, was a high-minded and arrogant person who did not accept the old.
What's more, Huang Zhong is now in the prime of life. The Lord knows what to do, and he is bent on making contributions. Guan Yu robbed him of the credit, of course he was not convinced.
"Then I will compete with Brother Hansheng, that is, your martial arts are better than me, who will kill the deer? Not necessarily. Guan Yu said confidently.
"Yun Chang and Han Sheng are my favorite generals, and they are invincible warriors. Jizhou has not only Zhang Jiao, but also Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao. Killing them can make a great contribution. Liu Fan praised the two.
"Thank you for your praise." Guan Yu and Huang Zhong thanked Liu Fan.
However, they are still unconvinced in their hearts, and in their eyes, Zhang Jiao is the first work.
Liu Fan sees through it or not, whether there is competition or not, it can motivate each other's self-motivation.
"Look for a place to set up camp. The sun is about to set, rest for the time being, and hurry tomorrow, Hansheng, where are we now? After Liu Fan gave the order to set up camp, he asked Huang Zhong.
"This place is Fugou County, and the next stop is Yu County. With the marching speed of our army, we can reach Yuxian tomorrow afternoon. Huang Zhong replied to Liu Fan.
