Chapter 500: The Yellow Turban Thief
"Don't go! Stay alive! Bao Xin rushed out of the camp, but the night was blank, and there was no trace of Li Xing.
After leaving, Li Xing rushed towards the team of Yellow Turbans who followed him out, and along the way he thought to himself: "It seems that this Three Kingdoms World is very different from the Three Kingdoms in History and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Bao Xin, who is not very famous at all, has such strength, and those first-class historical generals can be used as a thousand in one ride, and most of the Yellow Turban Army in this place is placed in the main god space, and most of them have the strength of close to the one-star reincarnation!" ”
At dawn, Li Xing finally caught up with the Yellow Turbans who fled, and the more than 1,000 people who escaped had already dispersed, because the first hundred or so people were following Li Xing when they came out, so the Yellow Turbans of more than 100 people followed his arrangement and went all the way to the east. They were afraid that the officers and soldiers behind them would catch up, so they didn't stop along the way, and by the time Li Xing caught up, the sky was already slightly bright.
When Li Xing caught up with them, he found that in addition to the Yellow Turbans who had been killed behind him, there was another group of Yellow Turbans who had broken up in the gathered team. It's just that these Yellow Turbans did not flee from the camp he was in before, but fled from another direction, and finally gathered with them.
In the early days of the Yellow Turban Uprising, Zhang Jiao divided the believers in the eight prefectures of Qing, Xu, You, Hebei, Jing, Yang, Yan, and Henan into 36 parties, with more than 10,000 people in Dafang and 6,000 or 7,000 people in Xiaofang. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the rebel army grew to an unprecedented size, and soon expanded to hundreds of thousands, if not millions!
This point can be seen from the end of the Yellow Turban Rebellion and Cao Cao's capture of Qingzhou, because a more famous figure appeared later, that is, the black mountain thief Zhang Yan, who claimed to have millions of people under his command, and Cao Cao won Qingzhou and got 300,000 young people, you must know that this is a young man, not mixed with old and young women and children.
Although the Yellow Turban Rebellion was a rebellion that occurred when the lower peasants were forced to the extreme, the damage caused by this turmoil had to be borne by themselves in the end. At the beginning of the uprising, the Yellow Turban Army was still headed by the disciples under the teaching of the great sage and good teacher, divided into 36 squares, and each side set up a commander, but after the uprising, the world responded, and many people with a yellow scarf tied to their heads were considered to have joined the Yellow Turban Army.
Then, they began to blatantly raid villages, attack county seats, and rob wealthy clans in the name of the Yellow Turban Army.
The Yellow Turbans have a very obvious drawback, and that is that they do not have a complete chain of command. Even Zhang Jiao, the great sage and good teacher they nominally believed, was only able to command the Yellow Turban army under his command. What's more important is that as a cultivator, a cultivator who gave water to help the sick and went to the plague area to help the poor people, Zhang Jiao knew very little about politics and military affairs!
He launched the Yellow Turban Rebellion on a massive scale, but he had no way to fully command the scattered Yellow Turban Canals.
In the beginning, with his high prestige and lofty personal ideals, the great sage and good teacher not only had a large number of followers among the lower class commoners, but also many gentry and wealthy families sold their family property and joined the clan! This is almost impossible in such an era, and it can even be said that the Yellow Turban Rebellion began, and many people were completely affected by Zhang Jiao's personal charm!
But.
But I definitely didn't expect it.
Even the great sage and mentor Zhang Jiao and others did not expect one thing, that is, after the Yellow Turban Uprising, the response from all parts of Middle-earth directly led to a result! That is, all the bandits, bandits, horse thieves, water bandits, and rebels in the Central Plains, after all wearing a yellow scarf, even if they joined the camp of the Yellow Turban Army, and then they began to rob homes and houses, attack local wealthy families, rob people's property, and even gather into gangs to directly attack the county seat, regardless of the gentry and rich people.
This directly led to the fact that the lower classes of the people also suffered greatly because of this, and those local wealthy families who were initially attracted by Zhang Jiao's personal prestige and charm and fled with their families also understood the harm of the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
Immediately afterwards, the Yellow Turban Army commanded by Zhang Jiao began to completely lose the support of the local tycoons! Even the prestige of the lower classes of the population is beginning to be gradually weakened!
The Yellow Turban Army was mixed, and after they captured the city, they burned, killed and looted, even the commanders of all parties had no way to restrain it.
Even, if Zhang Jiao, as a cultivator, would have many scruples like Zhuge Kongming, then it can explain why he died of illness so early in the early days of the Yellow Turban Uprising. After Zhuge Kongming captured Meng and burned the rattan armor soldiers, he already felt that the destiny of heaven was not long in coming, and the great sage and good teacher Zhang Jiao launched the Yellow Turban Rebellion, perhaps he was originally in pursuit of opening up a peaceful and prosperous world, but now he died indirectly because of him, and the family was ruined because of him, more than a million!
In the martial arts world, Li Xing has also been in contact with the path of cultivation, and he is too clear about the taboo of cultivators.
I'm afraid that at this time, the great sage and good teacher Zhang Jiao has also felt the backlash of the destiny of heaven, and he is not far from death, right?
The reason why I mention these is because the Yellow Turban Army that Li Xing is meeting now is some bandits with Yellow Turbans! And what these bandits who have broken up now is to surround the Yellow Turbans who followed Li Xing and force them to hand over the food and sword equipment in their hands! They were also dispersed after the defeat of the official army, but the number was much higher, these people were originally from a group of bandits who robbed homes and houses, and it was nothing for them to rob the equipment of other Yellow Turban Army!
Moreover, they had just received news that Qin Jie, the Taishou of Nanyang in the Battle of Wancheng, had killed Zhang Mancheng, the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai they wanted to defect to!
These people had begun to feel that the Yellow Turban Rebellion was about to be suppressed by the Han Dynasty. Even on the way to escape, their leader was already planning to return to the mountains to be his bandit.
In the early days of the Yellow Turban Uprising, the number of the Yellow Turbans was still dominated by the 36 squares divided by the great sage and good teacher Zhang Jiao, but there were only more than 300,000 people, but after the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Uprising, the number of Yellow Turbans in various places directly skyrocketed to one million! It may even be far beyond this number, where did the hundreds of thousands and millions of Yellow Turbans come from?
Part of it is the lower-class people who are unbearable and struggling, and the other part is the bandits and bandits that Li Xing is now encountering.
These people are looting everywhere in the name of the Yellow Turban Army, often without any purpose, let alone any organization and discipline, they are like bandits crossing the border, burning, killing and looting, killing innocents indiscriminately, robbing anyone's wealth, whether it is the gentry and the rich, or the ordinary people, almost anyone may become their target. As a result, the entire Central Plains became their enemy, and the Yellow Turban Army weakened rapidly after the initial sweep!
The further back they went, the more mobs like this were pure bandits and bandits in the Yellow Turban Army, and the general trend of the defeat of the Yellow Turban Rebellion became more and more irreversible! (To be continued.) )
