Just when the Han court and all the marshals were speculating about the next move of the Taishan army, Zhang Chong of the Taishan army was also thinking carefully about this issue.

With the Taishan army taking Aocang, it attracted the poverty up and down the river, and in an instant there were 100,000 troops. Of course, no one has ever counted that number. Zhang Chong never relied on these hasty rabble, Zhang Chong released grain for one purpose, so that all the people who came to receive the grain knew their Taishan army's proposition.

So during this time, the propaganda teams worked day and night, singing along the long line of collecting grain:

"The poor are slaves, the poor are slaves, the poor dwell in holes, and the poor wear ragged clothes. The Taishan army came, fought the local tyrants, divided the fields, and the Taishan army came, opened Aocang, and distributed corn."

……

"Plough the weeds with the plowshares, plow the weeds so that they will grow!" 50,000,000,000 poor people will come out, and the plowshares will run under them! Born to be a savior, wake up the plowshare to resist! The success of the revolution depends on the plowshare, and the success of the revolution depends on everyone."

……

"The pine wood is roasted with a thousand miles of incense, and the bones of the poor are as hard as steel. If you die, you will bury the yellow earth, and if you are alive, you will follow the Taishan army."

……

"New Year, New Year, this year is not as good as usual, as soon as the Taishan soldiers arrived, the local tyrants cried again and again, you divide the grain, I divide the fields, knock down the Han family, and capture Emperor Liu alive."

……

"The yellow tide is surging, the dawn is flying, waking up 50 million deep dreams. Thousands of miles of homeland, men plough and women weave, singing the praises of sacred labor. Flip! Flip! Plough through this rotten bush of thorns. Courageously! Courageously! Free my slave breed of cattle and horses!"

……

This song was sung repeatedly by the dragon for several miles. A large number of Xingyang and Hanoi people in the army were urgently conscripted, and they learned one song each, and then three or five of them sat in a car, and then sang repeatedly along the crowd, and this one was dumb, and that one was on it.

In short, from the opening of Aocang on September 20, the Taishan army sang for as long as the grain was distributed. The leaders who came to hear the news were full of joy, and the entire Aocang neighborhood was a sea of joy, which was ten thousand times more lively than the social drama.

Rustic people, rustic songs, rustic good deeds, everyone agrees that the Taishan Army is our poor team.

Countless children frolicked in the long dragon, learning the songs of those who had just been imposing, and singing:

"The poor are slaves, the poor are slaves, the poor dwell in holes, and the poor wear ragged clothes. The Taishan army came, fought the local tyrants, divided the fields, and the Taishan army came, opened Aocang, and distributed corn."

Zhang Chong, who was watching on a hill in Aoshan, saw this lively scene, the smile on the corner of his mouth never disappeared, he turned his head to Tao on the side and smiled:

"Tao Jun, has my Taishan Army won the hearts of the people?"

Tao Di replied respectfully:

"Qu Shuai obeys the heavens, helps the people, and naturally wins the hearts of the people."

Zhang Chong only looked at the Qiantou below, and said:

"Tao Jun, if I say that I, Zhang Chong, came to this life not for the so-called glory and wealth, not for the so-called thousands of years of rivers and mountains, but to see that the common people in this world can have food, clothes to wear, and live like a person. Can Tao Jun be trusted?"

Tao Di did not hesitate, took his clothes and bowed, and said solemnly:

"Every word Qu Shuai said, the servant believed it. The servant is also willing to go to the soup for the ideal of Qu Shuai. If you enter the underworld, you are willing to follow Qu Shuai, build a hundred thousand banners, and then kill a peaceful world."

Zhang Chong clasped his hands together and said:

"Okay, then we will be kings and ministers for the rest of our lives, not to kill this peaceful world."

Tao Di took a step back and bowed deeply to Zhang Chong, and then the two men laughed.

After the two finished laughing, Zhang Chong asked Tao Di for his views on the current situation.

Among the many aides, Tao Chong thought that he was the best in judging the overall situation, so after learning about the views of the military Chinese Wu, Zhang Chong wanted to break the situation with Tao Huang.

Tao Di really lived up to Zhang Chong's weight, he really had a little opinion on the current situation, and there was a way to break the situation.

Tao's view of the whole day is the same as that of He Kui, Guan Yu, Zhang Dan and others, that is, whether the whole army should go west or stay in the Xingyang area.

At present, there are few people in the army who support continuing the fight, especially if they have to cross the great river north and fight a strong Han army

The main battle is due. Now that they are moving westward, many people think that they have already reached the gate of Luoyang, and if they rush, they may be able to lay down Luoyang, what kind of feat is that?

But Zhang Chong knew that neither the Xingyang area nor the Heji region to the east was a place to defend. And the so-called westward march into Luoyang, in the case of a tiger blocking the road in front, whether it can be laid is another matter, that is, it is laid, and Kyoto at this time is not something that Zhang Chong can occupy.

Luoyang is a narrow and densely populated area, and there is no grain to be transferred into Beijing, so it is difficult to feed millions of people. In addition, these people in the Gyeonggi area are the most supportive of the Han family, and their interests are the same as those of the Han family. At this time, although the Han dynasty declined, it was not something that Zhang Chong could replace.

The best time to enter Los Angeles is to be a savior, not a conqueror. In Zhang Chong's time node, Dong Zhuo of Liangzhou rebelled and lost the last bit of authority of the Han family, and that was the opportunity for him Zhang Chong to go to Luo.

Therefore, it is not advisable to go west or stay behind. Zhang Chong knew in his heart that the only way to go north was to go north, but he never thought about how to go north, what was his goal? Just save the Hebei Yellow Turban Army? This reason is obviously unacceptable to the soldiers.

When Zhang Chong told Tao Huang all these concerns, Tao Huang said something like this:

"Qu Shuai, I once heard you talk in the military academy: save people and lose land, and people and land will survive. If there is no land, there is no land. The same applies to today's situation. Qu Shuai, do you think if we retreat, where can we retreat, and where can we defend?"

Zhang Chong shook his head, this is also what he understands, that is, no matter where Zhang Chong's Taishan army retreats at this time, the next step will be a comprehensive counterattack by the Han family, and it will not be able to hold the base at all. In the end, he could only become a rogue like Huang Chao and others in history, and finally perished in the encirclement, pursuit, and interception.

So, Tao Dian continued:

"Qu Shuai, why can the Han family order all parties?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Chong suddenly became enlightened. Yes, the reason why he feels that he can't sit still is because he is facing the world in a corner, and the gap between human and material resources is too desperate. But what if the Han family is also torn apart? In other words, when the world is not monolithic, no one listens to the orders of the Han family, and the world begins to compete with each other, so isn't the pressure on the Taishan army greatly reduced?

As soon as the train of thought is opened, the next question is, how to make the Han family's orders unanswered?

In Zhang Chong's view, there are three factors for the Han family to command the world. One is the mythical Destiny of Heaven in Liu. This kind of destiny has penetrated into the hearts of people all over the world in four hundred years, especially when Guangwu can recreate the Great Han. The second is the relationship between the interests of the local clans and the Han family, and these princes' families are supported by the Han family, and they all support the authority of the Han family, both in terms of interests and emotions. The third is the selection of the second army of the north and the south built by the sons of good families in the world.

Originally, these three factors are mutually explanatory, and they are guaranteed at three levels of fame and strength. But the Han family made a stupid move by itself, that is, it launched the party. The two party actions hurt the feelings and interests of a large number of ministers' families who originally supported the Han Dynasty, and the family members died in vain, and their children fled to the rivers and lakes, and this damage undermined the concept of destiny built by the Han family.

Because it is these families who believe in the mandate of heaven, build the mandate of heaven, and maintain the mandate of heaven. At present, a large number of people have begun to use theories to construct anti-Han public opinion, and it can be said that the theoretical construction of Taiping Dao is also due to the construction of these party elements.

Therefore, to put it bluntly, what the big man can really rely on is his core armament, which can suppress disobedience in order to stabilize the crumbling destiny.

Then the problem becomes clearer. At this time, there is only one armed force left for the Han Dynasty to unify the world, so isn't it okay for him to fight the core armament of the Han family?

In fact, Zhang Chong has been doing this before. It's just never been so clear before.

He remembered the phrase again, who is my enemy and who is my friend.

In the long run, the forces of the heroes must be the enemies of the Taishan army. But what about the current stage?

Historically, Zhang Chong knew that there were these forces who wanted to subvert the Han family. One is the border warrior group, including Dong Zhuo in Liangzhou and Gongsun Zan in Youzhou. One is the family of the ministers, representing the brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. The rest are those who took advantage of the chaos, and the driving forces that really caused the chaos in the world were the two above.

At this time, the interests of Zhang Chong and these people are the same, and they all want it

Subvert the Han family. These dragon and snake generations are still dormant now, so why don't he Zhang Chong help them, I will focus on the core and main force of the Han army, destroy these, and the situation in the whole world will be repeated immediately.

The more Zhang Chong thought about it, the clearer he felt, it seemed that he really wanted to go to Hebei, this time it was not to save the Hebei Yellow Turbans, but to use the strength of the Hebei Yellow Turbans to fight a real decisive battle with the main force of the Han army, eliminate the remaining tens of thousands of Han troops, and the whole world directly entered the process of competing for the deer.

So, he slapped his thigh and shouted:

"Good!"

Tao Di also said:

"There were two divisions of the Great Unification, one was during the Qin and Han dynasties, and the other was at the end of the new recklessness. The servants carefully investigated the stories of these two generations and found that they all had one thing in common, that is, the main force of the great unification had to be eliminated to change the appearance of the world. For example, in the first battle of the overlord of Chu, the giant deer, the main force of the Qin army was defeated by 200,000. Another example is the battle of Guangwu Kunyang, breaking the main force of Xinmang by 100,000. It's a battle that will decide the world."

"So the battle of Hebei is our battle of Kunyang. After this war, the world no longer belongs to Han! And our Taishan army swims into the sea, and no one in the world can control it."

Zhang Chong was overjoyed and bowed to Tao Di:

"Qing Zhen is my son's room, I am really enlightened."

……

As soon as the commander-in-chief of the whole army had made up his mind, he convened a meeting of the whole army, and Zhang Chong explained everything he thought before and after to all the military officials to unify the hearts of the people.

As a result, all the military officials expressed their willingness to follow Qu Shuai to the north.

People are like that, when you ask them for their opinions, they will use their reason to give you advice, but what they say is a realistic analysis, and this analysis is ultimately capitulationism. For example, in the later generations of anti-Japanese resistance, the more you understand the gap between China and Japan, the more you will give you rational advice, telling you how big the gap is in reality. Therefore, the result for you is either appeasement or the so-called curve to save the country, or you are counting on foreign interference. Reason tells them that we can't. But the more adversity there is, what is needed is not reason, but a kind of faith.

At this time, Zhang Chong represents the belief of the whole army, and the officers of the Taishan Army will always believe that under the leadership of Qu Shuai, they will win! So, what about going north? The Naigong people still chased the death and chased the north, this is the military spirit of the Taishan army.

As a result, the Taishan army originally stationed in Xinzheng, Mixian, Yuanling, Jingxian, Guancheng, and Yanshi successively shrank to Xingyang. Those who are willing to go with the Taishan army in each city will follow the army.

On September 23, the whole army agreed that Zhang Chong ordered the baggage army to give each battalion in the army a pig as a strong march to the north.

Under the explanation of the military officials in the army, the officers and soldiers of the whole army knew that the goal of going north was to break the main force of the Han army and win the final victory of the battle, so they were full of fighting spirit and were full of confidence to meet the final victory.

In addition, in addition to its own reserves, the Sacred Treasury in the army also provided each battalion with a month's rations, so that each battalion in the army would have their own independent mobility capabilities.

On September 26, after repelling the harassment of the front of the Han army, Chen Huan, Lü Kuang, and Lü Xiang of the Taishan Army gathered the soldiers and camps of the counties in the eastern part of Henan County, loaded their vehicles and went north to Xingyang.

At this time, on the Bianshui outside Xingyang, boats and boats are connected, full of Ao Cangsu. The first part of the boat division has already gone north, and they will follow Bianshui into the Yellow River, then turn into Qingshui in Liyang, and then enter Zhangshui to Yecheng. Yecheng is the place where Zhang Chong chose to garrison in Hebei.

Not far from this Tiger Pass, the general He Jin and the following acquiesced to the actions of the Taishan army, and the people of insight in the shogunate sighed, but in vain.

At the same time, the army in Taishan shrank one after another, and showed an obvious northward trend. Zhang Wen, Zhu Jun and other Han soldiers also began to slowly move north.

At this time, they did not dare to risk interception, because they were afraid that the Taishan army would attack the east and west, and they did not dare to divide their troops. Cao Cao, Sun Jian and other generals asked for battle several times, but they were also stopped by Zhang Wen. For him, if the Taishan Army really goes north to Hebei, it will also be a good thing for him, not only to give an account to the country, but also to preserve the strength and give the various departments time to run in.

As a result, the Han army from the south slowly followed, successively recovering several counties in eastern Henan, and also approached outside Xingyang.

In the sixth year of Guanghe, September 28, noon.

The generals of the Taishan Army all resigned to Zhang Chong and led their troops to the north one after another. After most of the Taishan army went north, Zhang Chong took the shogunate and the middle guard army and began to board the ship.

This time to the north, the Taishan army raised the army by water, with the left military captain Guan Yu as the vanguard, Zhang Dan followed, Ding Sheng again, and finally the middle guard army up and down.

September 29th, night. The Taishan Army basically withdrew from the Xingyang area.

The Han army outside Xingyang watched the Taishan army withdraw like this, and it was not until the Taishan army withdrew that they entered the camp outside Xingyang City. After that, without moving a single soldier, Xingyang was recovered.

Because late at night, the Han army, which was the first to enter Xingyang, did not hold back and set fire to Xingyang again. At this time, the people who remained in the city were basically those who supported the Han army, and those who surrendered in Kaicheng before and those who could not survive went north with the Taishan army.

These Qianshou, who had a big man in their hearts, were once again heartbroken by the Han soldiers and lost their lives. In the end, more than 10,000 people in the city, except for a few hundred, escaped, and the rest were killed.

And this time the slaughter of the city, in the Han army military newspaper:

This is the retreat of the Taishan army to burn the city, which is really mad.
