Chapter 101: Qingxu Yellow Turban
In fact, just as Liu Yu was constantly dispatching personnel to mix these invulnerable ace chengguan into the city defense forces in the form of mixed sand, and used them to integrate the defense forces in the county, the hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans who had already entered the territory of Bohai County were facing a huge threat.
"Lord Qu Shuai, something is wrong, our people have been robbed, and some outsiders are lurking in our camp, using land and food as a condition to lure others to join. In just three days, thousands of people have run over, and if this continues, it won't be long before we have no one available....."
A somewhat panicked voice sounded in a yellow turban camp outside Yangxin City.
It is said to be a large camp, but in fact it is a temporary camp surrounded by some wooden sticks, stones and tree stumps, and it looks unusually shabby and shabby, not only does it not play much of a defensive role..... The fence is only more than one meter high, and with the physical fitness of the humans in the Dynasty Warriors World, you can jump over it with force. The people in the camp are also sparsely occupied. As far as the eye can see, there are few intact places at all, and everything seems to be scattered. For example, the location of Qu Shuai Zhang Rao is already very good, at least there is a complete tent that can live in people, unlike others, who just barely build a shelter from the wind and rain with leaves and mud.
This is the Yellow Turban Army that gathered millions of people in the past, and once the incident started, the war spread to the 28 counties of seven states, almost overthrowing the entire Yellow Turban Army of the Han Dynasty.
It's a pity that since Zhang Jiao's death, the Taiping Dao, which shouted the slogan "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious", the situation has been worse day by day.
First of all, under the joint strangulation of Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, and Lu Zhi, the three famous generals and ministers of the late Han Dynasty, the elite forces that had been cultivated for more than ten years were captured and killed, and then they were frantically suppressed by the powerful clans who controlled the local forces. There are not many young people who can really be the backbone of combat power.
It's no wonder they're so nervous about the discovery.
Just kidding, compared with the old, weak, sick and disabled who stayed in the rear and couldn't catch up with the road, those who could gather in the camp at this time were already taller among the shorter ones.
What's more, the county town with grain storage is in front of you, and a small part of the existing troops will be less sure of being captured.... In order to seal them on the border of Qingxu and not move, the surrounding counties are all some extremely hard bones. Most of the officials he served were occupied by those soldiers who had made contributions in the Yellow Turban Rebellion and had little to do with them, and even if the troops were not damaged at all, he was not much sure that he would be able to defeat them, not to mention, once he suffered heavy losses in the battle and could not get the slightest reinforcement of troops, he would probably lose this position as the commander of the canal.
You must know that the Qingxu Yellow Turban is not monolithic, and there are several forces in the complex population of three or four million.
There are devout disciples who firmly believe that Zhang Jiao is not dead from the beginning, thinking that this is a test for them, and firmly believe that one day they can sweep the world again with the re-emergence of the great sage and good teacher, subverting this damn world; There are also opportunists who have been defeated from the battlefield and chose to join only after watching the strength of the Yellow Turban in the early stage, but the Han army does not accept surrender, and after there is no way out, they can only follow others to hide on the Qingxu border; There are also those poor people who can't survive, because they have lost their land, encountered a series of natural and man-made disasters, and can't afford to pay heavy taxes, so they have no choice but to believe in the Taiping Dao, which is not only to get a sufficient reason for rebellion, but also to give themselves at least a little psychological comfort to themselves who don't know when they will die in the troubled times.
In addition, the above people are from Qing, Xu, You, and Ji, the four places where the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out at the beginning, and it is difficult to subordinate each other.
The reason why we were able to reach an agreement this time, risking being wiped out, and running to the neighboring four states to grab grain was a completely forced choice.
Because if they don't have anything to eat, even if they don't starve to death, they will hang up most of them in the struggle with each other!
And after all the impossibilities are eliminated, even if the remaining answer is unbelievable, this is the only reason that can explain the changes in the camp - taking advantage of this opportunity, there are other Yellow Turban forces intending to annex them.
"Made, where is there any spare land for us to cultivate now, it is all occupied by those damned families, if there is not some saline land left that they don't want, we don't even have a place to live, this must be someone else's pot."
That's right, the so-called head-killing business is done by someone, and no one does the loss-making business, in Zhang Rao's opinion, the state army will drive them to the seaside, which is a completely unsightly result, if the land here can be cultivated on a large scale, even if the soldiers at the bottom don't want to fight with them for a small merit, under the pressure of those families, they will be exterminated as soon as possible.
Therefore, there is no doubt that those Qu Shuai, who are also competitors, are more suspicious, otherwise, why waste so much tongue and time recruiting people in the big camp, it is not better to kill them directly.
Thinking of this, Zhang Rao felt that he was left with only one question and couldn't guess who the other party was.
"There are a lot of people in Taiping Road who have enmity with me, and there are even more who can't get used to me, who is doing ghost behind my back..... Liu Shi, Yang Zhai or Yang Feng? ”
Zhang Rao muttered, three names quickly popping up in his mind.
The first two, like him, were speculators who had been in trouble for less than a month, and when they saw that the Yellow Turban Army had captured the prefecture and county in a hurry, they chose to join the speculators temporarily, and often quarreled with each other over the struggle for power and profit and the problem of a little food and manpower. In contrast, Yang Feng in the back has no substantive conflict. But this guy, because of his background, is dissatisfied with his practice of abandoning the old and weak family members who can't walk on the road and is only willing to take the young and strong, and there are many offenses in his words, so he does not rule out suspicion.
Of course, the most important thing is that these three, like myself, are all from Youzhou Yellow Turbans, and this time they chose the direction of Bohai Sea by relying on their familiarity with the surrounding terrain and roads.
It's just that when the angry Zhang Rao rushed to the place of the incident with the main force of his cronies who had gathered in a hurry, he found that things were not like that at all.
