Whether it is Zhang Jiao, or Zhang Niujiao or Chu Feiyan, how can they not experience a breakthrough like a leap!

There has never been a person like Han Nuo, who suddenly took a big step forward!

From 63 points of bravery to 74 points of battle formation, this evaluation has increased by more than 10 points!

This certainly doesn't make sense!

There has never been such a precedent in the world!

In Zhang Jiao's mind, unless there are any more heavens and men, not only will there be no ancients before, but there will be no one in the future!

Han Nuo's huge change, no matter how confused and stubborn Zhang Niujiao is, he has to admit that Han Nuo is really a mortal!

With such a cognition, Zhang Niujiao's opinion on Han Nuo really faded.

The Yellow Turban Lux was originally summoned from the Heavenly Realm by Zhang Jiao, and it was only natural that he should be handed over to Han Nuo as a commander, and he was like a vexatious villain!

With a curse in his heart, Zhang Niujiao sighed: "Okay, I also believe it." ”

Zhang Jiao also smiled and nodded at this time, and said, "Zicheng is like this, it is really not something that mortals can do." ”

If Zhang Jiao's trust in Han Nuo had reached seventy or eighty percent before, now it is nine percent!

As a superior, it is naturally impossible to trust 100%, and such a degree of trust is already extremely high!

Seeing this, Han Nuo said again: "Then, let's move on to the next thing!" ”

"Okay."

"Where did you just go?"

"Relying on Taihang Mountain, establish a stronghold! What do you think of the three places of Julu, Zhao Guo and Changshan? ”

Han Nuo circled a semicircle with cinnabar next to Taihang Mountain on the map, connecting Julu Guangzong, Liao Tao and Changshan Guoyuan and Zhao Handan.

Zhang Jiao looked at the map, thought about it carefully, and said, "I think it's feasible." ”

"I'm afraid I'm afraid I'll be encircled!" Chu Feiyan said.

Han Nuo nodded: "So we have to gather the crowd and store food first!" ”

"Hmm!" Everyone nodded.

"Also, we have to deal with Lu Zhi!" Han Nuo pointed to the black line representing Lu Zhi and said.

"How do you solve Lu Zhi?" Zhang Jiao asked.

Han Nuo shook his head and said, "I'm going to ask you!" I don't know what Lu Zhi's strength is, and what is the strength of our Yellow Turban Army! ”

Zhang Jiao and the others groaned.

Han Nuo said again: "Today, Lu Zhi was defeated and retreated, in your opinion, what is the loss of the Han army?" Is it possible to strike while the iron is hot and pursue the victory? ”

Zhang Jiao stroked his beard and sighed: "Today, although the Han army has lost 10,000 elite soldiers from the most elite Northern Army Fifth School, other than that, the other armies have not suffered much loss. And we, defending the city is okay, and we want to forge ahead, but it is really insufficient! ”

Zhang Niujiao also sighed: "Most of the people in our army are civilians, and the 20,000 elites carefully selected are still much worse than the Han army." ”

Chu Feiyan said: "The main reason is that the equipment is insufficient. Armor, blades, shields, bows and arrows, etc., were desperately lacking, and cavalry was even less available! Although he won a game today, the gains from cleaning up the battlefield can only make up for the losses of the previous days. ”

Although Zhang Ning did not speak, looking at her low mood, she knew that she also knew that the situation was not optimistic.

Han Nuo is not as pessimistic as them!

After Zhang Jiao died of illness, when Zhang Ning took over, the situation was much more difficult than now!

Even in that situation, it has persisted for several years, let alone now?

Han Nuo asked directly: "What is the specific force comparison?" Please be clear! ”

Zhang Niujiao said: "There are about 50,000 soldiers in our army who can fight, including 20,000 elite soldiers. And the regular army under Lu Zhi is also about 50,000, and the elite soldiers are also 20,000. However, there are still many local troops in the official army, and although they are not very strong, they can barely go to the battlefield, which is much stronger than the auxiliary troops that we can only defend the city. ”

Han Nuo asked, "How many troops are there in those places?" ”

"About thirty or forty thousand." Zhang Niujiao replied: "It was the one who was ambushed at the col before. ”

Han Nuo nodded and said, "If you say that, the gap is not too big. ”

"It's not that big?" Chu Feiyan, who has always been cautious, said.

"It's not that big! At least self-preservation, aren't they? ”

Han Nuo asked again: "How many people is our army today?" ”

"About a million more."

Although at the time of the Yellow Turban Uprising, there were about four or five hundred thousand believers scattered across the eight states, and the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou were only about 100,000.

But you must know that those are believers, in addition to them, there are other ordinary people, some are the families of believers and believers, and some are unable to leave their homeland.

Han Nuo nodded.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the total population of the world was about 50 million, and this Jizhou accounted for about 5 million.

At the beginning of Zhang Jiao's uprising, it can be said that he captured several counties one after another, even if he has now shrunk his territory by Lu Zhi after several consecutive defeats, the population has been coerced a lot, and there should still be millions.

Such a population is much better than the 200,000 when Zhang Ning took over later!

With such a foundation, Han Nuo felt that the future was not as difficult as he thought.

Of course, the premise is to suppress Lu Zhi first, and it is best to get rid of him!

"Thirty or forty thousand auxiliaries, thirty thousand regular soldiers, and ten thousand elite soldiers. And we have 4,000 Yellow Turban wrestlers, 20,000 veterans, and 30,000 recruits. The overall strength is still lagging behind! Han Nuo groaned.

Suddenly raised his head, but saw that Zhang Jiao's four people were all looking at him, Han Nuo couldn't help but be surprised: "What are you looking at me for?" ”

"Wait for you to tell you how to get rid of Lu Zhi." Zhang Ning said angrily.

"No way!" Han Nuo shook his head and said, "Lu Zhi has refined the art of war, it is not easy to take advantage of him, and he can only fight hard like today!" But apart from the Yellow Turban Force, which other unit in our Yellow Turban Army can do it? ”

"Nope." Even Zhang Niujiao, who has a tendon in his brain and is easily unwilling to admit defeat, has to admit this fact.

Han Nuo said again: "Lu Zhi's new defeat must have taken precautions, and if the troops are not superior, I don't think we will have a chance." ”

Zhang Jiao nodded, agreeing with Han Nuo's opinion, he had fought with Lu Zhi many times, so he naturally knew Lu Zhi's ability.

"Then, we can only develop ourselves first."

"Millions of people, can they all be arranged? I have just walked all the way, but I have seen many people who have nothing to do but stay at home. ”

"If you want them to come out, even if you are still fighting at this time and can't farm, you can do something else."

"For example, the papermaking and printing technology I mentioned earlier, you should also prepare first."

Zhang Ning asked, "What preparations do you want to make?" ”

"You have to gather some materials first, right? Hemp, mulberry, rattan and the like. ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it later." Zhang Ning responded.

"Also, gather some craftsmen who can carve."

"Okay."

"We want a secret place, these things are our hole cards, and we must not let outsiders know!" Han Nuo said again.

"It's nature!"

"I'll arrange this." Chu Feiyan took over the task.
