Chapter 3: Zhang Chun Zhang Ju

Speaking of this Liu Yu, he is actually no stranger to Youzhou. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info He was originally the supreme administrator of Youzhou - Youzhou Assassin History. During the period of serving as the assassin of Youzhou, he had high prestige among foreign tribes such as Xianbei, Wuhuan, Fuyu, and Hao, and paid tribute at any time, and did not dare to intrude, and the people sang songs and praised Liu Yu's merits.

This time, because some foreigners participated in the rebellion of Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju, it should be right to send Liu Yu, who is good at dealing with foreigners. In particular, this Liu Yu, who has served in Youzhou, can be regarded as a big advantage!

Therefore, the political talent of the ten permanent servants, at least in terms of knowing people and being good at their duties, is not much worse than that of the court officials!

Moreover, above the court, officials make a decision, first considering their own interests, then the meaning of the faction, and then the interests of the class. As for the interests of the emperor, the interests of the people, the interests of the nation, and the interests of the state, they are all the last considerations.

In this regard, the eunuchs first considered the interests of the emperor. After all, the imperial power is their foundation, and if the interests of the emperor are preserved, their own interests will be preserved. The interests of the emperor do not necessarily represent the interests of the people, but most of the time, the interests of the emperor and the interests of the state are the same.

For example, Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju's rebellion violated the imperial power and the interests of the state, but it did not prevent the officials from making war money. Therefore, for Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju's rebellion, some people are happy and some are worried.

Those who are sad are naturally Liu Yu, the assassin of Youzhou, the people of Youzhou and others. Rejoice, but it is players like Li Tang, as well as those generals who want to dye their crowns red with blood, such as Gongsun Zhan.

Who is Gongsun Zhan?

Speaking of Gongsun Zhan, this person is a well-known ruthless character in Youzhou. When Liu Yu didn't come to Youzhou, he was just famous and didn't have much power. However, after Liu Yu came, he appointed him as a cavalry lieutenant and the president of Youzhou cavalry. For a while, Gongsun Chan almost became the number two person in Youzhou.

At this time, although Gongsun Chan was not yet a general, he had a very majestic nickname, called "General White Horse".

Youzhou is close to the northern frontier, and the nomads in the bitter cold land of the north, such as Wuhuan, often cross the border and enter Youzhou, plundering people and property. The Wuhuan people are good at cavalry, and they come and go like the wind, which makes the Youzhou garrison who lacks cavalry very distressed.

And Gongsun Zhan, as the defender of Youzhou, dares to fight and fight, every time the enemy comes, he shouts loudly, his blood boils, and he leads the soldiers to fight bravely, as if attacking his enemy.

With high morale, Gongsun Chan has won many battles.

Of course, there is a reason why Gongsun Chan can still win more and defeat less against the nomads who grew up on the horse. It turned out that although Gongsun Chan was not a super historical general, he had a magic weapon in his hand - the Golden Nail Zaoyang Lance. This Shuo is extremely powerful, and it can also convert a special type of military - "White Horse Righteous Servant".

"White Horse Yicong", as the name suggests, is a silver helmet and plain armor, a white horse and a white saddle, and a sterling silver jujube Yangshuo.

With these 300,000 "White Horse Righteous Servants", and every time he fights, Gongsun Chan is not afraid of death and charges ahead, so when the Wuhuan cavalry encounters Gongsun Chan who has turned on the crazy mode, they all flee from the wind. All of a sudden, the "White Horse General" Gongsun Chan became famous all over the world.

Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju rebelled on Gongsun Zhan's territory, isn't that not giving face to our "White Horse General" General Gongsun Zhan?

Therefore, the uncle can bear it, but the aunt can't bear it.

As soon as the news of the rebellion came, Gongsun Zhan entangled the "White Horse Yicong" in the headquarters and quarreled with Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju. After Liu Yu came, he appointed Gongsun Zan as the cavalry captain, the president Youzhou soldiers and horses, and cooperated with Meng Yi, the Zhonglang general sent by the imperial court, to jointly attack Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju.

And Zhonglang General Meng Yi is an old man, and he has no decision to kill. Therefore, the extermination of Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju was all entrusted to Gongsun Zhan. As for Liu Yu, the highest military and political governor in Youzhou, he only understands civil affairs, not military affairs, and he also makes every effort to help Gongsun Zhan to maintain the logistics of the army and stabilize law and order everywhere.

Zhang Chun, Zhang Ju, dare to be arrogant and directly claim to be the Son of Heaven, without ability, without foundation, that is impossible. You must know that even the role of Zhang Jiao is as bullish, he only dares to be called a general, but he does not dare to be called the Son of Heaven. Even during the period of secession, when the influence of imperial power was almost zero, Yuan Shu, who took the lead in claiming the emperor, was immediately abused by Chengxiang. Not to mention, the majesty of the Son is still there.

Zhang Ju was originally a local tyrant and a big family in Yuyang County, and he was also the Taishou of Taishan County. And Zhang Chun is the Taishou of Zhongshan State. They want connections, wealth, status, and power. When they joined forces to rebel, the power was unimaginably great, and they were even more powerful and deterrent than those ordinary people rebelled.

They were already familiar with the habits of the imperial court, knew the pros and cons of various official offices, and colluded with the Wuhuan people to cooperate with each other, and as soon as they rebelled, they formed a very huge momentum. At the same time, due to the continuous wreaking havoc of the Wuhuan people in Youzhou, all parts of Youzhou could not form a joint force at all to exterminate Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju.

For a time, Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju led the army to rob Jizhong, killing and protecting Wuhuan Captain Gong Qichou, Liu Zheng, Liaodong Taishou Yangzhong and others, gathering more than 20 million people, and stationed soldiers in Dai County, Shanggu County, Yuyang County, Liaoxi County, Youbeiping County, Liaodong County and other places, firmly controlling the northern line of Youzhou. Only a few counties in the south, such as Guangyang County and Zhuo County, remained, which were still in the hands of the imperial court.

At this time, most of Youzhou was under the control of Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju. At the same time, there are more than 10,000 Wuhuan people, in the rear of Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju, interspersed with the south from time to time, Kou Luoqing, Xu, You, and Hebei Prefectures.

The soldiers and horses of the Youzhou headquarters were caught off guard, and some of them were raided by Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju and surrendered. There are also some of them, along with the guards everywhere, who retreated to Ji County in Guangyang County, which is the seat of Youzhou's governance.

However, the total number of these defeated soldiers was seven or eight million. plus Liu Yu's personal guards, Gongsun Zhan's personal guards, are only a million. There are also more than 3 million troops brought by Meng Yi, the Zhonglang general sent by the imperial court.

Therefore, the army on the side of the imperial court, when it is full, is only 12 million.

Fortunately, Liu Yu, as a representative of the imperial court's forces, was able to issue edicts on behalf of the imperial court. He called on volunteers from all over the country to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the anti-thieves Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju. In Youzhou, volunteers can be mobilized arbitrarily without asking for instructions.

At this order, players naturally flocked to help the imperial army exterminate Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju. At this time, the players have already tasted the sweetness of helping the court to suppress bandits, especially the bandits who have orders issued by the court, and the benefits can be directly asked by the system, and there is no need to worry about being detained by the government.

Of course, at any time, if there is one who helps the court, there is one who helps the anti-thief side. After all, to each his own account, no one is stupid. It's like speculating in stocks, if someone sells it, someone must buy it. After the transaction, the person who bought and the person who sold scolded each other at the same time with a sentence of "***". Despite this, the stock market never stopped trading. The same is true in the game, which makes sense no matter which side the bet is.

At the same time, Liu Yu also used his prestige to call on the nomadic tribes not to fight for the tiger and become enemies of the Han Dynasty. Under Liu Yu's influence, there are really many nomads who are ready to fish in troubled waters.

If you want to talk about the strength of the two sides, it's really hard to compare.

Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju's subordinates are mostly private soldiers and personal guards that the two have been raising for many years, and they are extremely loyal and extremely good at fighting. This kind of person is the most combative, with more than one million people.

There are also two people's subordinates, who have been on errands under the two for a long time, and their combat effectiveness is also very strong. These people have more than 100,000 people, and they can be regarded as the earliest team of Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju.

Then there is the captured garrison soldiers of each city when Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju swept through Youzhou. Because Youzhou is an important border town, there are more garrisons in each city. Therefore, even though they escaped a lot, many garrison soldiers were captured and surrendered to Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju.

Most of these captured soldiers were the children of the local people, and because they were reluctant to leave their homes, they were willing to be captured and surrendered. There are seven or eight million of these people, and they are originally from the army, and their combat effectiveness is still very sharp. Moreover, they were fooled by Zhang Chun and Zhang Juyi, and they were even more willing to work hard for the local leaders Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju.

And Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju relied on the plundered money and grain, and recruited a new batch of soldiers, about seven or eight million. These people are of all nationalities, they all grew up in this war-torn border land, all of them are brave and ruthless, they are good at martial arts, and their combat effectiveness is also very impressive.

As for the people and horses of the Wuhuan people Qiu Liju, there are as many as 10 million. Although, these people are ordinary herdsmen who have not undergone much military training, so to speak, a rabble. However, the herdsmen of these nomadic peoples are warriors by nature. Their riding skills and fighting skills are a good cover for their shortcomings.

Ordinary Han infantry encountered these rabble, even if they were several times larger than these rabble, and they were often miserably abused, and even completely annihilated.

There is no way, infantry has a natural disadvantage to cavalry. Cavalry vs. infantry, fight if you want, go when you want, you can only fight and not win, there is nothing that can be lost.

The player forces, on the side of Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju, also have as many as 20 million people. After all, Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju had a smooth war and many opportunities for robbery. Especially with the army that followed Qiu Liju, you can give priority to buying war booty cheaply from their hands, and even war horses, riding skill books, etc., can be easily bought.

On the side of the imperial court, the personal guards of Gongsun Chan and Liu Yu are naturally the elite of the elite, especially Gongsun Zhan's "White Horse Righteous Servant", who is an elite soldier in a hundred battles, and one is ten.

Most of the three million brought by Meng Yi, the Zhonglang sent by the imperial court, participated in the crusade against the Yellow Turban Army, that is, the elite who had seen blood. Unfortunately, most of them were foot soldiers, and there were only more than 500,000 cavalry.
