At this time, west of the Zhanghe River, there was such a force marching slowly in the direction of Yangxin County.

It can be seen that the young men who were specially screened out of the yellow scarves walking on the road, although they generally have vegetables on their faces, and many of them are emaciated enough to fight with the hemp pole, but if you look closely, you can find that in those slightly numb eyes, there is a faint excitement and expectation.

Yes, in just a few days, the news that the "Great Sage and Good Master" might come back from the dead spread to other Yellow Turbans through the scattered Zhang Rao's remnants.

No matter what Zhang Jiao's purpose was in the rebellion, at least he gave these poor people living at the bottom of society a hope to continue to persevere in despair. And the sudden death four years ago undoubtedly added a dark shadow to their already scarred hearts.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the reappearance of "Yellow Turban Lux" will cause a lot of shock in the hearts of these people.

It can be said that it is precisely because of the lack of sufficient strength to protect them that they will lose the land on which they depend for survival under the oppression of the wealthy families. Then, he was chased and driven away by the officers and soldiers, and he could only endure hunger and fear and had no choice but to leave his hometown and hide in this barren land near the sea to survive. And the Yellow Turban Lux, although they will absorb their spiritual beliefs, and even have only a little bit of vitality, it means that they finally have the opportunity to truly build a home that belongs only to them in this world that is rejected and hated by the whole world.

For people who have nothing but themselves, this is probably more important than their own lives.

Now that hope has reappeared, as long as people still have expectations for this ideal, how can they not be excited about it, and even rejoice!

It's just that in the eyes of the other part of the wavering people, this is more embarrassing.

"Boss, we really want to go over and join this group of guys who suddenly appeared, it can't be the official army dressed up in disguise, and they want to deliberately lure us into the bait?"

The words full of hesitation and hesitation actually told the truth by mistake.

It's not that they are unwilling to hold high the banner of "the sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand" again, but the reality is that as long as they are not too attached to the Taiping Taoist teachings, they all know that they will definitely die if they continue like this.

There is no way, as a seaside area that even the greedy families and heroes can't look down on, although the range between the Bohai Sea, the Qinghe River and the plains is large, but most of them are saline-alkali land, even in the modern society with developed science and technology, it is more difficult to produce enough food, not to mention the ancient times when the production mode was relatively primitive and backward.

At present, the reason why three or four million people can be gathered is that everything that can be filled in the stomach within sight is scraped away as food. Things like bugs, tree bark, and fishy fish are already good in their recipes, and if they are really hungry, they don't even let go of Guanyin soil that will kill people if they eat too much.

Even if you can go out and loot from time to time now because of the large number of people, how long can the food obtained in this way be supported?

Seriously, it may not even be possible to achieve it in half a year.

In addition, after losing the Yellow Turban Warriors who relied on to fight head-on with the official army, they were no longer able to break through the blockade of the surrounding troops, and in the end, they were trapped in one place, and the food they looted would only become less and less, and by that time, it may not be long before more than half of these three or four million people will die.

In fact, four years later, the remnants of the Qingxu Yellow Turban, including those who joined later, were only more than a million, and they had to surrender unconditionally to Cao Cao.

It's really that everyone can't hold on anymore, so they can only find other forces to take refuge.

In view of this, it is not surprising that there are many people in the Qingxu Yellow Turban who are willing to secretly communicate with the family that persecuted them, and the root cause is that they are not optimistic about the future of Taiping Dao.

But the problem is that these people didn't expect that Nanshan would deliberately put the 30,000 people they brought to garrison the border, and only sent a small number of chengguan troops to blend into the various Yellow Turban battalions, pretending to be the cronies and subordinates of the "Great Sage and Good Teacher" to secretly gather people.

"Idiot, you think I don't want glory and wealth, but in this situation, if you don't let those people below see it with your own eyes, it will be confirmed that it is true or false. Not only did I have nothing to do, maybe I was about to say yes, but the next moment, I couldn't even save my life, and everyone wanted to turn against me. Now we can only take one step and look at one step, in case it is really the official and military fake in Youzhou, then we still have the opportunity to change our face and fight for a future......"

I have to say that a strategist like Tian Feng, who has a problematic personality and is not tactful enough, in the eyes of many people, his resourcefulness and strength are greatly underestimated.

Not to mention the process of pacifying Gongsun Zhan, Tian Feng as the mastermind, how much role he played, only in the battle of Guandu, many suggestions were directly hit by Cao Cao's key points, if it weren't for Yuan Shao Taikeng, who was often indecisive and would not use people, maybe the objects of the world with Liu Bei and Sun Quan would have already been replaced.

And at the moment, this trick from the other party is to seize the biggest flaw in Nanshan's trip.

As one of the three northern states closest to the grassland turmoil, although there is no shortage of excellent soldiers and war horses in Youzhou, the manpower and material resources that can be used are far less than the prosperous areas of the Central Plains. For example, in terms of population alone, there are only more than 2 million people in the entire ten counties and one subject country in Youzhou, while the neighboring Jizhou, only one county in Bohai, has a population of more than one million.

This is also one of the main reasons why Gongsun Chan began to be unable to beat Yuan Shao in the middle and late stages.

Until the means of productivity are massively increased, the war potential is entirely a matter of the size of the population on both sides.

And this point, even if Nanshan carries a void ring of items and equipment, it can't change much, it's impossible to just rely on the sharp weapons to run to other states and snatch people from those powerful landlords, right?

Let's not talk about whether it will be a bit too much to fight against the powerful siege of the scholars in the whole world with the land of one state, and the process of immigrating to the border is a big problem that will be difficult to solve in later generations.

You must know that the development of the Great Northern Wilderness, but after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it took 28 years to reluctantly develop 100,000 officers and soldiers, millions of educated youths, and more than 5 million young and strong laborers.

Not to mention the small-scale peasant economy, which was still in the feudal stage at this time, and was tied to its own rented land.

Although they are the same as these Yellow Turban refugees who were driven to the land of Qingxu, they have also been brutally exploited and oppressed by the landlord class, but the latter can barely survive in the local area, if you tell them that one day you will go to the northernmost part of the Han Dynasty, or even far away in the bitter cold land of the grassland, to reclaim the wasteland, it is strange that others do not work hard with you.

Only these yellow scarves who have been cornered will hold on to the last hope and go on the road with him.

As long as there is a little mess in the process, it will undoubtedly weaken their development potential to the greatest extent and slow down the development of the entire Youzhou and grassland.
