"Everything in the world has an extreme, prosperity must lose, profit must lose, and pole must be reversed, this road to eternal life is the truth.

Today, the Han family is brutal, the wealth is uneven, the noble and the lowly are unfair, the treacherous and evil are in power, and the loyal and good are punished, which is a man-made disaster. Wind and thunder obscured the sun, drought and flood destroyed the fields, and evil locusts and evil beasts caused disasters, this is a natural disaster.

Natural disasters and man-made disasters, everything is dark, and this sign of the rotation of the heavenly way is also.

The sky is dead, and Huang is born, which is in line with the fate of the rotation of the heavenly way. From now on, I will unify the unevenness of the world, the injustice of the world, establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for all people, and open peace for all generations.

Those who obey will enjoy peace, and those who oppose will be destroyed by heaven!

If there is selfishness, heaven and earth will not tolerate it! ”

At the end of the first month of the first year of Zhongping, in Pingxiang County, Julu County, Zhang Jiao, the leader of Taiping Dao and the great sage and teacher, officially sacrificed to the sky and raised troops, and sent the edict to all parts of the country. Among them, Zhang Jiao called himself "General Tiangong", and his younger brothers Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were called "General Digong" and "General Rengong" respectively.

This memorial was issued, and the Taiping Dao forces in all parts of the Han Dynasty were opposed.

Two days later, Zhang Niujiao, the eldest disciple under Zhang Jiao's seat, took the lead in responding and held high the anti-flag. Originally, he belonged to the Jizhou Yellow Turban, but because of the conflict with Zhang Huang a few days ago, he left angrily, and it was not good to come back afterwards, so he simply set up his own door and created a sub-force of the Yellow Turban Army, and raised troops against the Han in Montenegro on the border of Hebei and the border, called the "Black Mountain Yellow Turban", and attacked Changshan Country strongly.

I have to say that the Black Mountain Yellow Turban almost concentrates most of the elite of the Jizhou Yellow Turban, and there are many talents under its command. His subordinates, the number "Zuo Xiao" took Gaoyi County, the number "Zuo Zhangba" took Pingjian County, the number "President" took Yuanshi County, Wang Dang took Zhending County, Guo Daxian took Duxiang County, and in just a few days, Liu Song, the king of Changshan, was defeated several times, retreated to Jingjing County to protect himself, and had to beg for reinforcements from the imperial court. Ten days later, the Yellow Turban of Montenegro invaded Zhongshan Country and defeated the local Haoqiang Zhen family in Wuji County. There are also those with the name "Huanglong" taking Xinshi County, Liu Shi taking Hanchang County, those with the name "Greentown" opposing Anguo County, those with the name "Li Damu" taking Beiping, Sun Qing taking Shangquyang, and those with the name "Zhang Leigong" conquering Lunu and forcing Liu Jing, the king of Zhongshan, to death. At the same time, he sent Tao Sheng to attack Zhao and forced the escape of Liu Yu, the king of Zhao Xian, and his son Liu Qi, the king of Zhao.

In just half a month, the Yellow Turban Army Zhang Niujiao conquered the three princes and counties of Changshan, Zhongshan and Zhao, and then took Anping in the east and Taiyuan in the west with the victorious soldiers.

On 14 February, Bu Si of Yanzhou East County led Taiping believers to rebel. The Yellow Turban of Haodong County conquered Puyang City, and quickly moved south to control the four Yellow River ports of Baima, Yanjin, Lihu and Yanxian, completely cutting off the waterway connection between Jizhou and Yanzhou. Subsequently, Bu Si led the victorious army to attack Jiyin County and Shanyang County.

During this period, Sima Ju, the commander of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Qu, led the generals Bai Rao and Xu He to attack Dongping Kingdom, defeated Liu Kai, the king of Dongping, and Bai Rao killed Zheng Sui, the prime minister of Rencheng, and Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, and conquered Wuyan County. Liu Tuo, the king of Rencheng, and Liu Kai, the king of Dongping, fled from the wind. Subsequently, Qingzhou attacked the southern kingdom of Runan and fought with Liu Yun, the king of Jinan, in Dongpingling.

And Ge Zeng, the commander of the Beihai Yellow Turban Canal, led the generals Guan Hai and Zhang Rao to conquer the drama city, and then the troops were divided into two routes. All the way to cross the border of Anle, conquer Shouguang, Yixian, Dong'anping, all the way to the west, conquer Duchang and Xiami. Hit to Donglai County, Liankelu Township, and Dangli County.

In mid-February, Yingchuan Yellow Turban Bo responded to the call to raise troops. Quickly occupy Yingyang and Yangzhai, set up camp in Songshan, and take Changshe and Yingchuan, but because of the joint resistance of the Xun family, the Chen family, and the Han family in Yingchuan County, they gathered troops to take Changshe.

During the same period, Wu Ba, the commander of the Runan Yellow Turban Qu, defeated the Taishou Zhao Qian in Shaoling, and led He Yi, He Man, Liu Pi, Huang Shao, Gong Du and other generals to quickly control most of Runan County. During this period, Peng Tuo, the commander of the Yellow Turban of Chen State, was defeated by the army led by Liu Chong, the king of Chen, and had no choice but to go south to assist the Yellow Turban of Runan. Subsequently, Chen Guo Yellow Turban and Runan Yellow Turban combined to take Runan, Runan thieves Qu Gong, Jiang Gong, and Shen Cheng saw that the Yellow Turban was powerful, and they were against Yuanlu and Fubo respectively, and the Taoshan thief Zhang Chi was also against Qi Si, and Yiyang County Lieutenant Zhou directly killed the county order, so far the whole territory of Runan was lost. After that, Peng Tuo, the commander of the Yellow Turban Canal of Chen Guo, led to Yingchuan to assist the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai Bocai of Yingchuan, and Wu Ba, the commander of the Yellow Turban Canal of Runan, continued to go south, wanting to help the commander of the Yangzhou Yellow Turban Qu Chen and the general Wan Bing, but unfortunately he was blocked by the Yangzhou assassin Zang Hong in Shouchun. But at this time, Yangzhou was not stable, seeing the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Huainan thieves Zheng Bao, Zhang Duo, and Xu Qian rebelled against Jiujiang County.

In late February, Zhang Mancheng, the commander of the Nanyang Yellow Turban Canal, sent Zhao Hong, Han Zhong, Sun Xia, and Sun Zhong to swallow the four counties of Jiaxia, Anzhong, Anle, and Lushan respectively, and attacked Wancheng on all sides, killing Chu Gong, and the soldiers pointed directly at Sili Henan County, causing the imperial court to tremble, and urgently transferred Qin Jie, the governor of Jiangxia, to serve as the Taishou of Nanyang to block Zhang Mancheng.

During this period, there were Guangyang Yellow Turbans to kill Youzhou assassin Guo Xun and Taishou Liu Wei, and even, there were Anping, Ganling and other vassal states, each holding its own princes and kings to respond to the Yellow Turban.

The rest, such as the Xuzhou Yellow Turban and the Yangzhou Yellow Turban, although they have not made great progress, have also made the local government feel like a great enemy.

In just two months, nearly half of the county towns in Hebei, Bing, Yan, Henan, Yang, Qing, and Xu prefectures in the Han Dynasty were lost, which could not help but shock people by the fierce offensive of the Yellow Turban Army.

However, as the nominal leader of the Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Huang's worries have not subsided at all.

Under Cai Yan's Jianyì, Zhang Huang assumed the pseudonym Zhang Sheng and took over the position of the Taiping Taoist Pope. In view of the bad reputation of the "anti-thief", although Cai Yan could understand Zhang Huang's purpose of joining the Taiping Road Yellow Turban Army, he still did not want Zhang Huang to be wanted by the whole country.

Although he has become the head of Taiping Dao, and even Zhang Liang, the original head of Taiping Dao, has also delegated power, but Zhang Huang still can't get the wholehearted support of his sub-forces, after all, his qualifications are not enough to make Yellow Turban Qu Marshal like Zhang Niujiao, Bu Si, Bocai, Sima Ju and so on surrender, even in Jizhou Yellow Turban, Zhang Bao also resented him because Zhang Huang had a grudge with him, so after Zhang Niujiao left Jizhou Yellow Turban, Zhang Bao took away a group of people and attacked Qinghe Kingdom on his own. So much so that the original power was the strongest Jizhou Yellow Turban, but now except for Zhang Liang, the general who almost doesn't care about everything, there are only three or two small soldiers, but what about the hostile? Julu Taishou Guo Dian had already personally ordered 3,000 elite county soldiers to surround Pingxiang County for nearly ten days.

"Those bastards!"

Faced with such a situation, Zhang Huang couldn't help but scold in the house. It was no one else who was scolded, it was Zhang Bao and Zhang Niujiao, after all, these two people almost took away almost eighty percent of the courage of the Jizhou Yellow Turban. Among them, in particular, the black mountain yellow scarf with horns. The limelight is simply more prosperous than the original negotiated main forces of Jizhou, Yingchuan, and Nanyang, and in just two months, the territory has expanded from three feudal states to half of Jizhou, and it directly dealt with the conquest army sent by Zhuo County and led by Lu Zhi, but it just ignored Guo Dian of Julu County. As the name suggests, the Tiger Taishou Guo Dian in Julu County was most likely deliberately left by Zhang Niujiao to Zhang Huang, apparently to see if Zhang Huang was qualified to sit in the position of the head of the Taiping Dao and command the entire Yellow Turban force.

"If you have time to scold, Ah Huang might as well think about how to retreat from the enemy." Next to him, Cai Yan saw Zhang Huang's vulgar words. I didn't like it in my heart, and persuaded softly.

Seeing Cai Yan speak, Zhang Huang pursed his lips in a daze, but he still said a little depressed, "How to retreat from the enemy?" That Guo Dian obviously doesn't eat water and fire, soft and hard. ”

It's no wonder that Zhang Huang is so depressed, after all, he has dealt with Guo Dian several times these days, and he feels that Guo Dian is simply the wise commander among the fierce generals, and the fierce general among the wise generals. According to Zhang Huang's preliminary estimate. Guo Dian's force is at least on par with Sun Jian's nephew Xu Kun, and it is even sharper than Cheng Pu.

"Actually, Guo Dian is not a top priority......"

After a slight pause. Zhang Huang slowly said the most worrying concern in his heart: "Compared to my side, I am actually more worried about the rest of the ......."

Cai Yan heard that he took a stack of battle reports, frowned and said, "Except for Xu and Yang, there has been no effect. The rest of the Yellow Turban's achievements can be described as excellent, why would Ah Huang be worried? ”

"They fought too hard." Zhang Huang shook his head and said with a sigh. "Zhang Niujiao, Bu Si, Wu Ba, Sima Ju, Bo Cai, Peng Tuo, Zhang Mancheng, all of them are like this, eager to capture all the cities of the Han Dynasty in one day...... You can't chew it if you are greedy! ”

"You mean grain and grass?" The intelligent Cai Yan immediately thought of the hidden dangers at the strategic level.

"It's not just the food, it's the whole logistics." Zhang Huang walked to the window and said with a worried face, "At present, the logistics of the Yellow Turban Army is probably to loot the rich and wealthy families in the city after the city is broken, and half of them will be distributed to the people, and most of them will be collected by the army...... It's fine if you can conquer the city every time, but what if you can't conquer the enemy city for a long time? ”

Cai Yan was stunned for a moment, and then her face showed a little solemnity, thinking that she also understood that if the situation Zhang Huang said really happened, then the Yellow Turban Army would only end up defeated.

"Have you sent a book to Qu Shuai in various places?" Cai Yan asked in a low voice.

"It's done." Zhang Huang exhaled depressedly and continued, "Basically, there is no news, and the only reply to Bocai is only perfunctory. …… These people are too underestimating the Han court! ”

Cai Yan smiled bitterly when she heard this, in fact, she could understand the arrogance of the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai in those places, after all, in just two months, they almost captured thirty percent of the territory of the Han Dynasty, so it is no wonder that they will become arrogant.

"Don't look at the defeat of the imperial court now, but in fact, those are just soldiers and horses of the local government and the princes of the country, and the real elite northern and southern armies of the imperial court have not been dispatched at all! Besides, the imperial court hasn't come up with that big killing move! ”

"Big kill?" Cai Yan glanced at Zhang Huang suspiciously.

Zhang Huang didn't elaborate, I'm afraid only he also knew that as long as it wasn't long before the imperial court, which saw the strength of the Yellow Turbans, would issue an edict to the powerful people in various places, allowing them to collect troops and horses, and cooperate with the Northern Army to encircle and suppress the Yellow Turban Army. By that time, the Yellow Turban Army would be embattled.

Therefore, Zhang Huang had earlier sent a letter to the Yellow Turban Commanders in various places, reminding them not to take the seizure of territory as the most important locality, but to crack down on the powerful forces in the territory under his control as much as possible. Take Yingchuan Qu Shuai Bocai as an example, although he is a little sorry for the Xun family, but Zhang Huang still built yì Bocai after conquering the Xun Academy and then waved his army north to attack Changshe, and even, Zhang Huang also tried his best to build yì Bocai to find a way to force down or recruit those Wang Zuozhicai of the Xun Academy, although the probability of this incident is quite low, but you can always try, right? But that wave was good, seeing that the local resistance forces led by the Xun family, the Chen family, and the Han family could not be defeated, they turned around and attacked Changshe directly. Although it is not wrong to say that persimmons are soft and pinched, this also has to ensure that there is no deadly threat in their hinterland, right? Zhang Huang cursed fiercely: Go back and you Bocai was blocked by Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun in the Changshe. Behind the body, the Xun family, the Chen family, the Han family and the local Baixin broke off the logistics, I see what you do!

Similar examples abound.

For this reason, Zhang Huang sent letters to the Yellow Turban Qu Marshals in various places more than once, reminding them again and again that there was no need to rush to launch a siege on Sili Luoyang, nor did they need to rush to occupy the territory of the Han Dynasty. But the Yellow Turban Qu Marshals in those places were afraid that they would not be able to catch enough soldiers, as long as the people obeyed, they would immediately be pulled into the army, and no one thought about stabilizing the ground they had laid.

In all fairness, the strength of the Yellow Turban Army in various places is not weak, especially the leaders who serve as the commanders of the Qu Commander, who are more or less able to do a few tricks. This makes them have good combat power in the face of the encirclement and suppression of the local government. Among them, for example, I have to talk about Bocai, this guy is simply handsome in Zhang Huang's opinion, not to mention defeating the local government, even famous generals like Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun. In the case of leading an elite division like the Fifth Colonel of the Northern Army, he was also beaten by Bo Cai, and the wolf Bèi fled to the Changshe to defend it. But even Bocai didn't think about whether to spare a little manpower and time to improve the defensive construction of the city after conquering it. is holding back a force to attack, a posture that will never give up if you can't attack all the way to Sili Luoyang.

Maybe in the hearts of those commanders, laying a turf is nothing. Only by killing the emperor of the Han Dynasty who lives in the Luoyang Palace can he be regarded as a change of dynasty. Zhang Huang is simply incomprehensible to this kind of inflexible thinking, although in this era, the vast majority of people have zài such ideas.

But Zhang Huang didn't think much of it, in his opinion, as long as the Yellow Turban Army fought steadily, even if it was ruled by dividing the river and the county with the Han Dynasty? As long as you can gain a firm foothold, there will always be a flaw in the imperial court and eat away at the huge Han step by step, so why rush for a while?

Of course, in Zhang Huang's heart, the best way is not to fight, after all, the Han Dynasty has not yet shown his hidden heritage at this time, and none of the forces hidden in the dark water of Sword Confucianism, Mo Confucianism, and Dao Confucianism have been exposed, and even the Northern Army has only just been dispatched, not to mention the half-immortal storage of the Fifth Gong Yuan; On the side of the Yellow Turban Army, they have already played all their hole cards.

"Forget it." Zhang Huang sighed in distress, shook his head, and focused his energy on how to defeat Guo Dian, after all, this Tiger Taishou is the current number one enemy of the Jizhou Yellow Turban led by Zhang Huang, if he is defeated, it is just empty talk to say anything.

But the problem is that there are no brave generals under his command to use, does he have to charge into battle in person as the commander in chief every time?

"Why don't you raise up some young believers?" After learning about Zhang Huang's troubles, Cai Yan said tentatively on the side, after all, she also understood that even in the Jizhou Yellow Turban, not everyone listened to Zhang Huang, and many old qualified believers who were still willing to stay in the Jizhou Yellow Turban, in fact, they were willing to follow Zhang Liang, not Zhang Huang.

"Promote young believers? Forming my own team? Zhang Liang was stunned when he heard this, and then his eyes couldn't help but light up.

[Yes, the older ones rely on the old and sell the old, and don't obey discipline, then I will promote some young people to form their own team, although they are young and inexperienced, but at least they will obey orders...... But who are you going to promote? ]

Zhang Huang fell into deep thought.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the house, and immediately, a young man with a weak crown stepped in, and his momentum was really extraordinary. After a moment of hesitation, he said righteously, "Little Heavenly Master, Guo Dian led more than 100 people to fight outside my county, and if I don't fight for a long time, I am afraid that it will hurt the morale of my brothers...... If you have the courage to fight, you will be able to cut off the head of that dog! ”

[The gas machine is not weak, it is stronger than trillions and Ah to them, not bad......]

Zhang Huang carefully felt the qi of the other party's body, was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a strange expression, "Please fight...... Why don't you go to General Rengong? Zhang Huang knew very well how many people surrounded Zhang Liang before and after, and asked him to come forward to preside over the overall situation.

To Zhang Huang's surprise, the young man showed a little doubt on his face, and asked incomprehensibly, "Why did you go to General Rengong?" Hasn't General Rengong handed over all his duties to you, Little Heavenly Master? ”

[……]

Glancing at Cai Yan, Zhang Huang couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart, and couldn't help asking, "What's your name?" ”

The weak-crowned young man hugged his fists, and Zhengse said, "Back to the little Heavenly Master, the little one's name is Guo Tai!" ”

"Guo Tai! …… Good! Stepping forward and patting Guo Tai on the shoulder, Zhang Huang said with a smile, "I will go to meet Guo Dian again today, you are the pioneer, and I will personally sweep the battle for you!" ”

Seeing that Zhang Huang, who was in a high position, valued himself so much, Guo Tai's face was moved and overjoyed when he heard this.

"Compliance...... Yes, sir! ”

[Guo Tai, the leader of the Baibo Yellow Turban in the post-Yellow Turban era, appeared. (To be continued......)
