In mid-April, Lu Zhi, the general of Beizhonglang, Huangfu Song of Zuozhonglang, and Zhu Jun of Zhu, the right Zhonglang, each led an army to various places. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoLu Zhi went to Nanyang County, Jingzhou, and Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were responsible for eliminating the Yellow Turban thieves in Yuzhou.

At this time, the Yellow Turban Army was gaining momentum, winning several big victories in a row, looting a lot of supplies, and its morale was high.

At the beginning of the uprising, the commander of Yingchuan Qu occupied Zhiyang Zhai City in Yingchuan County with all his might, and seized a large number of military materials such as logistics baggage and weapons and armor.

Subsequently, Zhao Qian, the Taishou of Runan County, was defeated in Zhaoling, and took advantage of the situation to occupy Pingyu City, the seat of Runan County, so that the Yellow Turban Army in Yuzhou was in full swing, and only Yingchuan County and Runan County developed to more than 200,000 people, Qu Shuai Bocai was stationed in Yangzhai City, and the general Peng Tuo was stationed in Pingyu City.

Yingchuan County has always been a large county in history, and since its establishment, it has been the most prosperous place outside of Beijing, and its seat of governance is in Yangzhai City. It is the birthplace of the Chinese nation, the Yellow Emperor was born here, and Xia Yu built the capital here, so it has become the birthplace of many surnames in China, and there are countless talents in history.

With a population of more than 2 million, Runan County was the second most populous county at that time, and it was very wealthy.

Zhu Jun, the general of the right Zhonglang, led 15,000 officers and soldiers to set off first, and arrived at Yingchuan in early May.

Zhu Jun and the Yellow Turban Army of the Bocai Department of the Yellow Turban Army fought a fierce battle, defeated the Yellow Turban Army with high morale, was defeated, suffered heavy losses, and lost most of the officers and soldiers, and the Yellow Turban Army had more troops than Zhu Jun, and the Han army was very frightened, and Zhu Jun was forced to lead the remnants to retreat to Changshe (now northeast of Changge, Henan) to hold on.

Zuo Zhonglang saw that the situation was not right, and did not dare to lead the army to continue south, but led the army into Changshe, and joined Zhu Jun, the general of the right Zhonglang, but the two of them had only more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and they did not have an advantage in the battle against the Yellow Turban thieves, so they could only stick to looking for fighters.

The Yellow Turban Army was organized and premeditated, with a large number of men and horses, high morale, and the support of faith, and more importantly, a large amount of looted supplies, sufficient logistics materials, and no worries about food and clothing.

At the beginning of June, Bocai led a large army to besiege Chosha.

After several big victories in succession, and now the two major generals of the imperial court are surrounded, making the other party at a loss, the morale of the Yellow Turban Army has reached its peak, and the entire Yuzhou has become the world of the Yellow Turban Army.

The cavalry of the Fifth School of the Central Army (the Fifth School of the Northern Army, which is the main standing army of the Central Committee, namely the guards of the five captains of the Tun Cavalry, the Vietnamese Cavalry, the Infantry, the Changshui, and the Shooting Voice) and the Sanhe (Hedong, Hanoi, and Henan) cavalry have not fought for many years, and the temporarily organized family members have not been systematically trained, so they hurriedly meet the battle, and they have failed one after another, and their morale is low.

What's more, each thousand-man team commanded separately, lacking cooperation, and when it came to the battlefield, it was more of a separate battle.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun also had no choice, it was difficult for Qiao women to cook without rice, their troops were too small and too weak.

After being surrounded for more than a month, morale was even lower.

In mid-July, news came from Jizhou, Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao were beheaded by the Youzhou army one after another, and obtained nearly 100,000 heads, and now Zhang Liang has been surrounded in the isolated city of Guangzong, and victory is just around the corner.

The Qingzhou battlefield is also full of good news, and several counties in the eastern part of Qingzhou have been pacified, and all the Yellow Turban troops have been forced to move to the western border of Qingzhou.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were in a hurry, not only did they not get their military exploits, but they were besieged in Changshe and did nothing; What worries them even more is that if the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Thieves are forced by the pressure of the Youzhou Army and all go into exile to Yanzhou and Yuzhou, then the Yellow Turban Thieves they face will be even more difficult to deal with.

When the officers and men heard the news, their mood became even more irritable.

Protector Sima Fu Xie suggested: "General Zhonglang, the morale of the troops is low, the lack of training, and the face of a group of rabble are so afraid, even Sun Bin is powerless when he is alive, Xie believes that the first task is to train the troops and improve morale." ”

Huangfu Song didn't speak, just nodded and silently accepted Fu Xie's suggestion.

After thinking about it, Huangfu Song gathered all the military commanders and military candidates, announced that the training of non-commissioned officers would be strengthened, and all officers would accompany the training.

Huangfu Song didn't dare to break the rules, even if he promoted officers, he could only be promoted from their original thousand-person team, and the people who were promoted were still people in their family, at least the benefits did not fall into the hands of outsiders, and the major families would not find fault with him because of this.

Under the pressure of the veteran Huangfu Song, Cao Cao, Feng Fang, Bao Hong, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others all agreed.

Subsequently, a vigorous military training began.

Wang Yun, the assassin of Yuzhou, was surrounded by Peiguo Yellow Turban thieves in the county of the state administration, and there is nothing to do at present.

In mid-April, Lu Zhi, the general of Beizhonglang, led the deputy general Zongyuan to lead the soldiers of the five schools of the Northern Army to the Nanyang battlefield, preparing to recapture Wancheng and eliminate Zhang Mancheng.

Nanyang County governs Wancheng, with 37 counties and a population of 2.4 million, making it the largest county in the world. Wancheng is one of the five major metropolises in the country, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Nanyang was named the southern capital, was respected as the emperor's hometown, and was the economic capital of the world.

On the Gengzi day of March, Zhang Mancheng, the commander of Nanyang County, responded to Zhang Jiao's call, under the banner of avenging Ma Yuanyi, led the Yellow Turban Army to rise up, won the support of the people of Nanyang County, and the power quickly developed to more than 100,000 people, successfully killed Chu Gong, the Taishou of Nanyang County, and occupied Wancheng.

Qin Jie, the governor of Jiangxia, was ordered to succeed him as the Taishou of Nanyang County, responsible for the crusade against the Yellow Turban Army.

In mid-May, Lu Zhi led his troops to Nanyang County.

At the beginning of June, Beizhong Lang combined Lu Zhi with Qin Jie, the Taishou of Nanyang County, to attack, defeated the Yellow Turban Army, and beheaded Zhang Mancheng.

Subsequently, the Yellow Turban Army retreated to Wancheng and supported Zhao Hong as the commander of the Qu.

Zhao Hong lived up to expectations, turned the tide, revived, and stabilized the military spirit of the Yellow Turban Army in Wancheng.

In mid-June, Lu Zhi joined forces with Xu Mu, the assassin of Jingzhou, and Qin Jie, the Taishou of Nanyang, to besiege Wancheng.

The Yellow Turban Army learned the lesson of Zhang Mancheng's failure and beheading when he went out of the city to fight with the enemy, and knew that he was not the opponent of officers and soldiers in the field battle, so he insisted on Wancheng and adopted the strategy of confrontation with the government army.

Beginning in June, Lu Zhi ordered 30,000 officers and soldiers outside the city to attack the city, and the siege continued for many days, with heavy casualties, but Wancheng remained immovable, and there was no sign of being conquered.

In late June, Lu Zhi was in a hurry and personally set up a broadsword team to supervise the army to attack the city.

Qu Shuai Zhao Hong led the Yellow Turban Army to fight, and Wancheng was impregnable.

Lu Zhi and others had nothing to do.

There was a lot of grain and grass in the city, and the morale of the Yellow Turban Army was high.

In mid-July, Lu Zhi learned that Gao Shun and others had beheaded Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao, besieged Zhang Liang in the isolated city of Guangzong, and swept away the small Yellow Turbans north of the Yellow River; And the Qingzhou battlefield has frequent good news, and I am even more anxious.

The deputy general was in a very depressed mood, the little people he didn't look down on at the beginning, now occupy two of the five road army, and have achieved a lot of military achievements, and the three road army sent by the imperial court, two roads were besieged in Changshe, all the way to Wancheng can not do anything, not only a few months down without military achievements, and the loss of soldiers; As for himself, he has no record of success.

The attack of the official army gradually slackened, and the number of people themselves was small, and they could not compete with the Yellow Turban thieves defending the city, they could not afford to consume it.

So Lu Zhi ordered three trenches to be dug around Wancheng and seal Wancheng tightly.

The Yellow Turban Army in Wancheng was unmoved, they had already learned that the other two imperial armies were besieged in Changshe, and if that side was victorious, the siege on this side would naturally be resolved.
