Chapter 105: Intelligence
Not long after, Ye Feng heard a faint commotion in the distance, which should have come from the Yellow Turban Camp.
This place is nearly an hour's journey from the county seat, and you can hear it from such a distance, you can imagine how chaotic the Yellow Turban Army is.
When the sound became louder and louder, I could already see a piece of earth yellow in the distance, as if I had entered the Loess Plateau.
As the saying goes, there are more than 10,000 people, and the scene of hundreds of thousands of people gathering together is unimaginable for those who have not experienced it.
If he faced so many people on a frontal battlefield, Ye Feng believed that most of the army would collapse without a fight, and the visual shock would make people lose judgment.
However, after getting closer, this feeling was destroyed, and I saw the Yellow Turban Army gathered together in twos and threes, without any formation, as if they were rushing to a big set.
At present, the Yellow Turban Army did not coerce ordinary people, and those who came here were people who were willing to join.
I don't know where they got the food, but everyone who joined was given a bowl of gruel, and there was no fighting.
Ye Feng sighed, most of these people are still kind people now, and I don't know how many people will maintain this kind of simplicity and kindness in the future.
Ye Feng and the two also lined up to receive a piece of yellow. colored turbans, and then a bowl of gruel.
He took the turban and found that it was actually a special equipment of the yellow turban camp with no attributes, and ordinary NPCs rely on this to identify the camp.
The gruel was really thin, and he estimated that it contained no more than thirty grains of rice, which could only fill his stomach slightly.
So in order to save physical strength, many people lie on the ground after drinking porridge, so that they can barely survive until the next meal.
Ye Feng wanted to inquire about some news, but unfortunately most of the people around him had just joined, and many people didn't even know what they were here for.
There were some people in front who looked a little more formal and were trying to maintain order, but they all looked like no one was close, no one approached, and Ye Feng didn't dare to behave too specially.
He took Li Kui to squeeze forward with all his might, and the person in charge of the siege should be the regular Yellow Turban Army, otherwise the soldiers in the city would have been killed a long time ago.
This place is less than a kilometer away from the city wall, and it took Ye Feng more than three hours to squeeze within 500 meters.
In front of you, you can see the Yellow Turban Army, which is a little neat, and many of them have weapons in their hands, if you say hoes and the like.
The Yellow Turban Army did not prepare to attack the city, but only surrounded the county town, and did not know what their plans were.
It will attract attention any further, Ye Feng beckoned Li Kui to return from the other direction, hoping to get some information.
He felt that he had miscalculated, squeezing around in the crowd, and many times when he found the slightest discovery, he was pushed or blocked by someone who couldn't walk, and the opportunity was fleeting.
There is no information to be collected at all, and it is not the material for this part, so Li Kui has no hope.
More than two hours later, the two returned to the edge of the crowd again, and many people could be seen rushing to join in the distance, and the crowd was unconsciously larger.
It was lunch time, and the people who had joined before also started their second meal, which was still a bowl of gruel.
Watching those slightly regular yellow scarves carry out buckets of gruel, Ye Feng was curious about the source of their food.
He listened to the discussions around him and knew that the Yellow Turban Army had not robbed any villages now, after all, 99% of them were ordinary people, and they basically couldn't do this kind of viciousness.
And the top brass of the Yellow Turban Army will also restrain them, because the Yellow Turban Army still needs more ordinary people to join.
So he wandered around the edge of the crowd, and at last his efforts paid off, and he spotted a group of Yellow Turbans happily pressing some ox carts over.
This team of Yellow Turbans has rudimentary equipment, and it is at least a Tier 1 militia, and I don't want most of the crowd to be ordinary NPCs.
It was obvious that they had just experienced a battle, and if nothing happened on the ox cart, it would be their trophy.
The answer is already coming out, they must have robbed a caravan or a powerful family just now.
Ye Feng immediately guessed the intention of the Yellow Turban Army, and used a part of the elite and a large number of ordinary people to besiege the county seat, leaving those powerful families isolated and helpless, so that they could carry out robberies.
His eyes lit up, maybe he could ambush this kind of Yellow Turban Army's team, he could not only get merit but also have additional gains, to be honest, he had always coveted the wealth of these powerful families.
The intelligence was almost understood, and Ye Feng and the others began to go back to meet the soldiers.
Walking on the road, Ye Feng asked, "Brother Li Kui, what do you think of these yellow scarves?"
Li Kui pursed his lips disdainfully and said, "A group of rabble, don't be afraid."
Ye Feng shook his head in disagreement and said: "They are indeed a rabble, but quantitative changes will cause qualitative changes, and they can't be taken lightly."
The qualitative change he is talking about is not only numerically crushing, but after some battles, there will be many elites in the Yellow Turban Army.
The Yellow Turban Army in history was an important source of soldiers during the Three Kingdoms period, and if it weren't for the loss of Zhang Jiao as a spiritual leader, everything would be unpredictable.
Li Kui continued: "As long as there are enough elite soldiers, it is useless to come more."
Ye Feng rolled his eyes and said helplessly: "But we don't have it now."
Of course, he knew this truth, so he thought that the Yellow Turban Army would not win, at least the soldiers in the early stage were not elite enough and there was no threat to the Imperial City of the Han Dynasty.
As for the final result, it depends on the faster growth of the soldiers over there, and there are many complex factors such as players and bandit camps, so no one can predict the outcome of the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the game.
As they walked, they chatted about the plan to ambush the Yellow Turbans, and the two returned to the woods where the soldiers were hiding in the evening.
After joining up with the soldiers, Ye Feng continued to prepare to send out a scout team, this time with the goal of finding a separate Yellow Turban team.
The powerful families all have their own small towns, some of which are safer than the county seats, and have private armies.
Zhang'an County is located in the south of the Yangtze River, which is not a prosperous place in the Han Dynasty, so the number and strength of the Haoqiang family are only average.
But this is also relative to the entire Han Dynasty, there are a few families in the county that are still famous in the entire Huiji County.
The strength of this kind of family far exceeds that of ordinary county seats, so the primary target of the Yellow Turban Army must not be this kind of hard bones.
Although the flesh on it is also fat, there is a risk of broken teeth.
Therefore, the first targets of the Yellow Turban Army are all newly promoted heroes and declining small families.
But the Yellow Turbans can only win by numbers, so each team has tens of thousands of people, and their whereabouts are easy to find.
They had already been to Zhang'an County many times, and the soldiers were more familiar with the situation in the county, and soon identified several targets, and the scouts went to find out the situation.
This ambush of the Yellow Turban Army will inevitably expose his whereabouts, and Ye Feng is already ready to leave temporarily after doing a vote.
More than an hour later, the first team of scouts returned, bringing back the news that the recent Haoqiang Li family had been robbed by the Yellow Turban Army, and there was no one in the entire town.
Ye Feng immediately led the team to go, although the Yellow Turban Army had already left, but he still had to go to see the specific situation.
