Chapter 539

Liu Xin's answer made Wang Yun breathe a sigh of relief, since Liu Yu had already returned to his hometown in Youzhou to be a county commander, then his nephew should be able to be a county lieutenant under Liu Yu if nothing else, but what made Wang Yun more concerned was that Liu Xin mentioned the word military merit. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although the Youzhou area is located in the border area of the Han Dynasty, there will be large and small friction incidents with the tribes of the other races outside the Saizhou from time to time, but because the combat effectiveness of the border army of the Han Dynasty is not bad, and the sense of oppression of the foreign races outside the Saiwai is very strong, so the foreign races outside the Saiwai do not dare to attack Youzhou on a large scale at will, and the Youzhou border army is because of the policy formulated in the past few years, it cannot take the initiative to attack the tribes of the other races outside the Saiwai, so the Youzhou area is also in a relatively peaceful state.

And Wang Yun also knew that Liu Yu's hometown was located in the rear of the Youzhou region, after all, as a member of the Han family, how could Liu Yu's family risk his life and settle on the front line in the Youzhou area?

Therefore, Wang Yun knew that the military exploits mentioned by Liu Xin should not refer to the military exploits when he was at war with foreign tribes, but...

Wang Yun instantly thought of something, and couldn't help but have a straight face, and said to Liu Xin in a serious tone: "Lord Wang, what do you mean by military exploits?" ”

Of course, Liu Xin knew that Wang Yun had guessed the answer, after all, Wang Yun was a native of Bingzhou, and he had only been transferred to Luoyang from Bingzhou in the past two years, so Wang Yun should already know a lot about the news of Taiping Dao.

Therefore, Liu Xin stopped selling Guanzi, nodded directly, and said: "That's right, the military exploits in this king's mouth are the Taiping Dao, because this king has already learned a news from a special channel, that is, Zhang Jiao, the great sage and good teacher of Taiping Dao, is already planning to launch a rebellion." ”

The news in Liu Xin's mouth naturally surprised Wang Yun and Wang Ling, the two uncles and nephews, after all, Wang Yun and Wang Ling both knew the current scale of Taiping Dao, so if Zhang Jiao led Taiping Dao to launch a rebellion, the scale could be imagined.

And Wang Yun is a typical loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, after learning that Zhang Jiao is likely to lead Taiping Dao to launch a rebellion, he began to think about the seriousness of this rebellion.

After all, Taiping Dao now claims to have millions of believers, although among these believers in Taiping Dao, there are many old, weak, sick and disabled, but Wang Yun visually estimates that more than half of the Taiping Dao believers are in the prime of life who can become combat effectiveness, after all, in the era of the Han Dynasty, the proportion of middle-aged men in the population is not low, because all aspects of the conditions of the Han Dynasty are unsatisfactory compared with modern times, so the survival rate of the old, weak, sick and disabled can be described as extremely low, especially the ordinary people of these Han people, who may die directly if they get a minor illness...

Therefore, after a rough calculation, Wang Yun came to a conclusion that shocked Wang Yun, that is, if Zhang Jiao led Taiping Dao to launch a rebellion, he would be able to raise at least a rebel army of 500,000 people, and this is only the most conservative judgment, because Wang Yun knew that a peasant rebel army like this had a very typical characteristic, that is, when the peasant rebel army was constantly attacking, it would coerce the local people to join the rebellion, so that the number of rebels continued to rise. In the end, the number of rebels is like an avalanche, and the number of people who participate in this rebellion is likely to double, or even triple, so Wang Yun feels that the number of rebels this time is likely to exceed one million in the end, or even reach two million!

What does this mean?

This means that the population of the entire Bingzhou region has launched a rebellion, and such a rebellion will be menacing, controlling a large number of cities in a very short period of time, so as to establish its power, and then the Han official army will need to spend more time and troops to deal with this kind of rebel army that has established a foothold.

However, Wang Yun doesn't think that the Han official army can't quell the rebellion launched by Taipingdao, because Wang Yun also knows that the peasant rebel army like this has a lot of weaknesses, although the troops are sufficient, but because they are all ordinary people and have not undergone professional training, the combat effectiveness of these rebels can only be said to be average, and these rebels will also lack sufficient weapons and equipment, and the most important thing is the morale of these rebels, after all, the peasant rebel army like this is just like what is said in "Cao Di's Polemic", As long as the offensive of the peasant rebel army is affected to a certain extent, the morale will begin to decline at a very rapid rate, and eventually fall to zero...

But even so, Wang Yun began to worry that the rebellion launched by the Taiping Dao was likely to shake the foundation of the Han Dynasty, after all, Wang Yun still remembered the Qin Dynasty, it was because the peasant rebel army led by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang was shaken to the foundation of the Qin Dynasty, which attracted the successive rebellions of many forces, and finally overthrew the Qin Dynasty, and now, the Han Dynasty is facing such a situation...

The more Wang Yun thought about this, the more worried he became, so he had to say to Liu Xin: "Lord Wang, you should also know how serious the consequences will be if Zhang Jiao leads the Taiping Dao to launch a rebellion, and the foundation of the Han Dynasty is likely to be affected, so can we stifle Zhang Jiao's ambitions in advance." ”

Liu Xin had already guessed that Wang Yun would say this, so Liu Xin smiled slightly and asked Wang Yun rhetorically: "Wang Situ, since you have said so, then this king will ask you such a question, how should we strangle this possible rebellion in infancy?" ”

Liu Xin's words made Wang Yun stunned again, and after being silent for a while, Wang Yun said with some confusion: "Or, Lord Wang, you will go with me to play this matter to Your Majesty?" ”

As soon as Liu Xin heard Wang Yun's suggestion, he smiled again and said: "Wang Situ, you yourself have no confidence in this suggestion now, so what else is there to say, you also know that this suggestion is impossible to achieve!" ”

After Wang Yun heard Liu Xin's answer, he nodded silently and sighed helplessly.

Because Wang Yun naturally knew that there were a lot of supporters standing behind Taiping Dao, and many people in Luoyang City had an inexplicable and unclear relationship with Taiping Dao, especially those around Emperor Han Ling, who were already blatantly supporting Taiping Dao, and blocked all the unfavorable news about Taiping Dao, so that Emperor Han Ling knew nothing about the news of Taiping Dao.

Therefore, even if he and Liu Xin went to meet Emperor Han Ling together, not to mention whether he and Liu Xin could meet Emperor Han Ling, even if he met Emperor Han Ling and told Emperor Han Ling about the current situation of Taiping Dao and the possible rebellion, I am afraid that Emperor Han Ling would not believe it, because the ten permanent attendants around Emperor Han Ling were flamboyant and could easily persuade Emperor Han Ling.

Therefore, Wang Yun also gave up this idea of his own, because as long as those ten permanent servants remained by Emperor Han Ling's side, his plan had no hope of success.

However, as mentioned earlier, Wang Yunke is a typical loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, everything is for the interests of the country, so Wang Yun is thinking about a question, that is, Liu Xin has discovered Zhang Jiao's ambition to lead the Taiping Dao to launch a rebellion, so it proves that Liu Xin should think of a backhand to deal with the Taiping Dao rebellion!

So, Wang Yun, who had figured it out, asked with a smile: "Lord Wang, I believe you have prepared for the rebellion in Taiping Dao, why don't you tell the old man about it?" ”

Liu Xin secretly said in his heart that this Wang Yun is worthy of an old fox, and he thought of this so quickly, but Liu Xin had no intention of hiding this at the beginning, because Liu Xin wanted to fool Wang Ling to Youzhou to help Liu Yu and ensure that Liu Yu would not die in Youzhou in advance.

After all, according to historical records, Liu Yu returned to Youzhou after the Yellow Turban Uprising, because Youzhou was close to the birthplace of the Yellow Turban Uprising and merged with the state, so Youzhou was also the hardest hit area of the Yellow Turban Uprising, and a large number of officials fled or died, so Liu Yu was transferred back to Youzhou.

Therefore, Liu Yu, who has now returned to Youzhou as an official in advance, will definitely experience the attack of the Taiping rebels in the Yellow Turban Uprising, and with Liu Xin's understanding of Liu Yu's character, Liu Yu will definitely not give up the people in the county and flee alone, so Liu Yu will definitely stick to the city.

And Liu Yu's personal ability, Liu Xin still knows a little bit about it, and knows that it is okay to let Liu Yu govern internal affairs and unite the people, but if Liu Yu is allowed to fight by himself, then he can only say one sentence, hehe, Liu Yu in history still lost to Gongsun Zan when he had a great advantage in military strength, which shows that Liu Yu's ability is like that.

Therefore, Liu Xin will tell the news about Taiping Dao, just to fool Wang Ling to Youzhou to give Liu Yu a hand, if there is Wang Ling to command the troops, he should be able to resist the attack of the Yellow Turban thieves.

After all, the Yellow Turban Thieves in history, the cities that were broken in the early stage were basically abandoned because of the county order, so that the fierce Yellow Turban Thieves could easily break through the city, but in the middle of the period, the cities encountered by the Yellow Turban Thieves were all defended by troops, so the Yellow Turban Thieves who were frustrated in the attack would choose to retreat after several failed attacks when they did not have a suitable boss.

Of course, there is an extremely important reason why the Yellow Turban thieves in the early stage can be overwhelming, that is, the Yellow Turban thieves in the early stage still belong to the category of the peasant rebel army, and the slogan is deeply popular with the people, so many people have responded to the uprising of Taiping Road and opened the city gate for Taiping Road, but in the middle of the Yellow Turban Uprising, a large number of bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods joined the rebel army of Taiping Road. The Yellow Turban Rebellion completely became the Yellow Turban Thieves, so that those people who had not been affected by the Yellow Turban Rebellion hated the Yellow Turban Thieves, so they began to hold the city and resist the attack of the Yellow Turban Thieves.

Therefore, Liu Xin and Su Jia discussed this matter, and roughly speculated that when the Yellow Turban Thieves attacked Youzhou, they should have lost the hearts of the people, so Liu Xin had already given Liu Yu a few tricks, that is, after the Yellow Turban Uprising, Liu Yu began to gather those officials and soldiers who escaped in the Yellow Turban Uprising and the people, it is best to find some evidence about the Yellow Turban Thieves as evil, and use these evidence to dispel the idea that the people in his city want to take refuge in the Yellow Turban Thieves, so that Liu Yu can prepare to strengthen the wall and clear the wilderness. Get ready for the Yellow Turban Thieves!

But having said that, the strength of the Yellow Turban Thieves will definitely be above Liu Yu at that time, and although most of the generals of the Yellow Turban Thieves are some wine bags and rice bags, there are still a few generals with good strength, so Liu Xin estimates that with Liu Yu's ability, this battle will be very difficult.

But now it's okay, Liu Xin has been paying attention to Wang Ling's facial expressions, and found that Wang Ling is very interested in his suggestion, or is already ready to move, so Liu Xin decided to give Wang Yun and Wang Ling a showdown.

So, Liu Xin smiled and said: "Wang Situ, now Zhang Jiao wants to lead Taiping Dao to launch a rebellion, but it is just an idea, Zhang Jiao has not yet begun to really start preparing for a rebellion, so there is no evidence in the hands of this king to accuse Zhang Jiao of preparing to launch a rebellion, but this king is already certain that Zhang Jiao will definitely lead Taiping Dao to launch this rebellion, because this king has already felt Zhang Jiao's ambition, at the latest next year, Zhang Jiao will begin to prepare to lead Taiping Dao to launch a rebellion, and this king I have prepared an undercover agent by Zhang Jiao's side, as long as the decisive evidence is obtained, the undercover agent of this king will stand up and denounce Zhang Jiao, but then it can only force Zhang Jiao to launch a rebellion in advance, but a rebellion like this that is not well prepared will be much easier to deal with. ”

Liu Xin's words persuaded Wang Yun, and Wang Yun kept nodding his head when he listened, Zhang Jiao wanted to launch a rebellion with a huge number of people like Taiping Dao, and he must need to carry out all kinds of preparations, after all, it is an impossible task to mobilize 500,000 troops in a short period of time, even if the modern information army wants to mobilize 500,000 troops at the same time, it will take more than a week to be able to initially complete it.

Therefore, if Zhang Jiao can be forced to launch a rebellion in advance, as Liu Xin said, then the troops that Zhang Jiao can control are only more than 100,000 people, and those Taiping Dao rebels who have lost control will have their combat effectiveness greatly reduced, and the counterinsurgency pressure of the Han officers and troops will be much smaller.

And Liu Xin was also a "poor dagger" at this time, and said with a smile at Wang Ling: "Brother Changwen, if you are willing to go to my cousin, this king will promote you to be the county lieutenant, and then you can make contributions in this Taiping Dao rebellion, completely get rid of the name of a murderer, and your official promotion will be easy, so this king is here to ask Brother Changwen a question, are you willing to go to Youzhou and take refuge in this king's cousin?" ”
