In 184 AD, in the first year of Han Guanghe, on August 10, Deng Mao, who had 330,000 Yellow Turban Army, officially announced the surrender of Liu Tai, the king of Yan, and after obtaining Liu Tai's permission, he disbanded the Yellow Turban Army on the spot as many as 300,000 and returned to the village.

Deng Mao is a good general, and did not let these young men return empty-handed, but took out a lot of money and grain to distribute to these departing young men, because of this move, Deng Mao not only did not get the notoriety he deserved, but also became famous in Jizhou for a while, of course, it is a good name, after the dismissal of young and strong, Deng Mao took more than 10,000 elites of the Yellow Turban Army, pressed thousands of cars and grains, and rushed to the river.

Deng Mao was the first general of the Yellow Turban Army to surrender, which can be said to have triggered a super earthquake in the emerging Dajin Dynasty, after Cheng Yuanzhi of Nanpi got the news, and found that Deng Mao and the families of several generals in the city had all disappeared, and suddenly broke out into great anger, and repeatedly whipped dozens of golden generals who were good friends with Deng Mao, making everyone in the Yellow Turban Army endanger.

I have to mention that after Deng Mao surrendered, Xindu was also peacefully handed over to Liu Tai, and at the same time, Liu Tai also incorporated 100,000 Jizhou troops, so that these elite Jizhou troops became security soldiers, and assigned the recovered major counties and counties of Jizhou to maintain law and order.

The names of Zhang Rong and Zhang Jaw also appeared in Liu Tai's eyes for the first time, and they had no effect on Zhang Rong and Liu Tai, and they passed by at a glance, but the name Zhang Jaw made Liu Tai very excited, and even ordered Zhang Jaw to come to Lecheng County overnight, wanting to meet one of the five good generals who were famous for thousands of years. (ps: Zhang Liao is still in the Military Academy now, and he will appear soon) Although there are already many senior generals in Northern Xinjiang, Zhang Jaw, who has the qualifications of a commander, is a rare good material, and it can also be said that he is a commander-in-chief. Even for the arrival of Zhang Jaw, Liu Tai made a lot of preparations.

Zhang Jaw did not live up to Liu Tai's hopes, and the martial arts in his hand can also be ranked in the middle of the mountain tour in northern Xinjiang, and his military talent is also very good, such as the flexibility of using soldiers, arranging troops and using the terrain are all very unique insights, of course, because Zhang Jaw is not yet old, so he is slightly immature, this is not only Zhang Jaw, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei and others are also similar, belonging to the idealistic characters.

So there is nothing to say, in order to tap Zhang Jaw's talent as much as possible, Liu Tai wrote a handwritten letter and recommended Zhang Jaw to Huang Chengyan's door! Right! Not a military academy, but a disciple of Huang Chengyan!

became Huang Chengyan's disciple, there are only small generals and a special person in Northern Xinjiang, that is, Gao Shun's brother-in-law Zhang Liao, and now Zhang Liao, who is still with Huang Chengyan, will arrange Zhang Jaw under Huang Chengyan, and can also let these two five good generals have a good exchange.

Don't talk nonsense, although Jizhou is a continent, but Cheng Yuanzhi, the "Jizhou Thorn History", is not a good commander, at least in terms of morale, it is weaker than the Tianci army, if it is not for Cheng Yuanzhi to shrink the soldiers and horses, it will not let Jizhou return to the rule of the Han Dynasty again in a short period of time, well, that is, under the rule of Liu Tai.

Jizhou Thorn History, some people may be very puzzled when they hear this name, in fact, since the Dajin Dynasty was established, it is natural to have officials at all levels, and Cheng Yuanzhi, the general commander of the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou, is of course the best candidate for the Jizhou Thorn History, not only Jizhou, but also other major states and counties have golden generals who are qualified for the position of Thorn History.

Cheng Yuanzhi not only has the name of Jizhou Thorn History, but also the name of the general of the Che Cavalry, he is a very prominent figure in the Yellow Turban Army, and his subordinates are more than 700,000 if you count Deng Mao's 330,000 army, which is more terrifying than any Yellow Turban Army, and is the veritable first warlord in the Yellow Turban Army.

But it's a pity that as soon as Deng Mao surrendered, it was equivalent to cutting off one of Cheng Yuanzhi's arms, and now Cheng Yuanzhi controls less than 400,000 soldiers and horses, of which more than 100,000 are still far away in Wei County, completely cutting off the connection with Nanpi, and the destruction is only in the maki, in terms of troops, Cheng Yuanzhi is no longer comparable to Liu Tai.

Of course, even if it is comparable to Liu Tai, what can it be? The Yellow Turban Army is just some temporary peasant army, if it weren't for Liu Tai not wanting to kill and injure these "soldiers" too much, he would be able to pacify the entire Jizhou in one battle!

The combat power of the Tianci Army, as the supreme commander of the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou, Cheng Yuanzhi knows it well, after all, Jizhou and Northern Xinjiang are connected, it is impossible not to get any news, and now there are only more than 200,000 soldiers and horses in Nanpi, how can Cheng Yuanzhi dare to fight Liu Tai? Isn't that a meat bun beating a dog and there is no return?

As the saying goes, as long as the green mountains are there, you are not afraid of no firewood, this is Cheng Yuanzhi's heart, but when Cheng Yuanzhi just wanted to give up Nanpi and leave Jizhou to go south to the Central Plains for development, he got a bad news that made Cheng Yuanzhi's eyes white and cramped, and the way to the south was cut off!!

180,000 sailors logged in, broke through Yangxin City in a battle, and then attacked Qingci, the capital of Leling State, with lightning speed, in fact, Leling Country is not a country at this time, because the king of Leling Kingdom, as the lord of the country, was brutally killed in the palace after the Yellow Turban Army occupied Leling Kingdom, accompanied by the king's entire family, not one left, all killed! Therefore, today's Leling Kingdom should be called a county!

Leling County is the most important route for the Yellow Turban Army to go south, and it is guarded by heavy troops, but the question is, how can these heavy soldiers be the opponents of the Heavenly Army? Especially the nominal first war in Northern Xinjiang, Gao Shun personally commanded! How many people can resist? Under the camp, even if Liu Tai was stationed in Qingci City, he did not dare to guarantee that he could defend it.

The madness of the camp, those who have seen it, absolutely do not want to have a second fight, this is one thing that all the generals in Northern Xinjiang agree on, including Liu Tai.

The result is obvious, Cheng Yuanzhi can't retreat, and what he is about to face is Liu Tai's hundreds of thousands of Tianci troops, including as many as 240,000 cavalry! Some people may say that Cheng Yuanzhi can be stationed with the city defense, but the question is, most of the people who can defend the city are well-trained soldiers and horses, and the Yellow Turban Army is a stick peasant, do they know the order? Do you know the essentials of defending the city? It's worth scrutinizing.

Well, in fact, Cheng Yuanzhi is not completely without a way out, there is another one, that is, from Qinghe County to the south, cross the Yellow River into the Central Plains, now it is the middle of August, the weather is dry, although there is a flood in the upstream, but the downstream water flow is not very urgent, it is completely possible to cross the Yellow River, but there is a big problem! For example, today, the army of more than 200,000 iron horsemen is eyeing the edge of Bohai County, can Liu Tai watch the Yellow Turban Army, which walks on two legs, go hundreds of miles south to cross the Yellow River to the Central Plains? It's a fool's dream, isn't it?

There is no hope of defending the city, and the field battle is not as comfortable as hanging, so now Cheng Yuanzhi can be described as a dilemma, staying in Nanpi City, most of his troubled hair is white, Cheng Yuanzhi couldn't have imagined that he was sitting on an army of 700,000 at the beginning, how could he be about to die in a blink of an eye? Poor boy

Liu Tai naturally did not want to drag on the war in Jizhou for too long, because now the situation in the Central Plains has begun to erode, the first captain of the Dajin Dynasty Jia Long led Yangzhou 600,000 troops north to Yanzhou, although Zhu Jun chased after him, but unfortunately Jia Long saw through, and Zhu Jun was beaten very miserable, so that as long as Jia Long arrived in Yanzhou, more than one million horses gathered around the Central Plains plus Yangzhou outside the Tiger Prison Pass, although the Tiger Prison Pass is a male pass, but the Cao Ying who guards the pass is less than 10,000 horses, how to hold it? Is it possible to sprinkle beans into soldiers to defend the city?

Half a year of the battle, the loss of not only a few troops, but also Cao Ying, who was stationed in the Tiger Pass, was also miserable, after all, Cao Ying did not have a little funding, especially after Luoyang was surrounded, the grain and grass were completely cut off, and he could still hold the Tiger Pass, which was already a prominent manifestation of Cao Ying's ability.

Time waits for no one, in order to rescue the Tiger Pass, Liu Tai did not stop for a moment, and ordered Gao Shun to leave 30,000 sailors to garrison Leling State, and the remaining 150,000 sailors forcibly entered the Yellow River into the Central Plains, striving to reach Mengjin in the greatest time to support Cao Ying of the Tiger Pass, and Liu Tai himself led Zhao Yun and Xu Chu A total of 200,000 troops pressed to Bohai County, recovered the major counties along the road, and approached Nanpi County, preparing for the final decisive battle with Cheng Yuanzhi, who wins and who loses in this move!

Well, it can't be said that Huang Zhong was missed, after all, Huang Zhong still has 300,000 Tianci troops in his hands, where is Huang Zhong now? In fact, a few days ago, Huang Zhong had already passed through Chaoge County, and entered Pinggao County, Hanoi County, outside Pinggao County is the surging Yellow River, and after crossing the Yellow River, it is Chenggao County in Yin, Henan Province on the south bank, but the problem is that this Yellow River is not good.

The cold wave in the north, the drought in the west, the plague in the east, the flood in the south, now the time is very unlucky, just encountered the flood in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, the monstrous flood, but not a boat can pass, especially the 300,000 army with more than 200,000 horses, not to mention the logistics troops that follow, so many troops want to cross the Yellow River in the flood season, it is obviously impossible, therefore, Huang Zhong can only be helplessly trapped on the north bank of the Yellow River, praying every day that the flood of the Yellow River can be said to pass as soon as possible, but unfortunately, there is no perfect thing in the world, How can the heaven-sent army be invincible again? Can you compete with the heavens? No

The situation of the Left Route Army, even if Liu Tai knew, there was no way, not to mention that Liu Tai still didn't know anything about it, after all, there were thousands of miles between the two sides, and in ancient times without long-distance communication capabilities, it was impossible to get news within a month.

In ancient times, a flood or an earthquake was a catastrophe, although Liu Tai was a modern person, but in just a few years, there was no good way to deal with it, and there was only one way, that is, wait, wait, you can only wait for the flood to pass.

Although Huang Zhong was anxious, he could only do so temporarily, but Huang Zhong did not have nothing to do on the north bank, but secretly sent troops to occupy various county towns on the south bank of Hanoi County, and even secretly drove some scattered Yellow Turban Army to rush into the county town that was still in the hands of the Han Army. Not only the generals of the Tianci Army, but also the generals of the Han Army who were driven helplessly on the other side did not dare to say the slightest word of dissatisfaction.

As long as you are not a fool, you can see that Huang Zhong's move was definitely deliberately ordered by Liu Tai, what does Liu Tai mean by doing this? It's obvious! Liu Tai wants to completely occupy the north bank of the Yellow River and use the Yellow River as a barrier to divide the entire north, as long as the imperial court loses the territory on the north bank of the Yellow River, unless the imperial court invests a huge amount of money to train sailors, it is obviously impossible to threaten Liu Tai.
