Things have come to this point, and it can be said that the first step of the Luoyang Imperial Court's response strategy is not a great success.

The number of Taiping Dao organizations that lost their combat effectiveness because they were really disintegrated was not large, and although some of them lost their leaders, the rest of them still stubbornly turned into the Yellow Turban Army and continued to fight.

It can only be said that this strategy was implemented late, and if it had been carried out from the third year of Guanghe according to Yang Ci's suggestion, the situation would never have developed to this point.

Despite this, almost one-third of the Taiping Dao organizations lost their organization and combat effectiveness in the first wave of the offensive, and were unable to cause trouble, weakening the intensity of the Taiping Dao uprising in the Central Plains.

And the local county has not been completely reduced to cattle and sheep to be slaughtered because of the seven-day reaction time and the requirements of the Luoyang court, although there are still many dead, but there are still some county guards and county orders that can be beaten have made a little success.

Although the intensity of this wave of Yellow Turban Rebellion was great, and although the Eastern Han Empire was embarrassed, it did not reach the point of collapse.

The situation that Liu Bei leveraged was really completely different.

Moreover, the Luoyang Imperial Court has really made preparations in advance.

Under the overall planning of He Jin, the three troops of Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Jun completed the preparation of ordnance materials and the preparation of grain and straw logistics in a relatively short period of time.

During this period of time, in order to secure the position of the general, He Jin really paid like a sweatshop, and as soon as the day dawned, the general's mansion began to work, until the stars were full of sky, and the door of the general's mansion was not closed.

He Jin used his diligence and high efficiency, and he was really praised by some people during this time, such as Lu Zhi, who praised He Jin as a somewhat capable person, not the kind of straw bag he imagined, maybe he could really do something for him.

He Jin is indeed not a straw bag, but it depends on what position he is.

The position of the general is too high, the power is too heavy, the importance is too great, and there is a power vacuum after Liu Hong's death, and the huge power vacuum requires strong political ability to hold it, but He Jin's ability can't hold it, so it seems that he is like a straw bag.

Now it seems that he is not a straw bag, the main reason is that he is just doing simple logistics, and with the end of the war, the situation that the general will have to face will be more complicated.

At that time, it was the time to tell whether He Jin was qualified or not.

However, Liu Bei has recently heard some rumors that the Jinwen School seems to be seeking some kind of breakthrough at the military level.

Thinking about it, it is not difficult to understand that the four military figures who are mainly responsible for suppressing the Taiping Dao this time, He Jin and Huangfu Song are both members of the eunuch group, Lu Zhi is a big man of the ancient literature school, Zhu Jun has no affiliation outside, and the military power is completely out of the hands of the modern literature school.

When the Taiping Dao Rebellion did not break out, military power had not yet shown a significant role in the political struggle between the two schools.

The political struggle between the two schools is also mainly reflected in the academic level and the court level, splashing dirty water on each other to do things, mainly focusing on the level of social death, and not involving other levels.

However, with the Taiping Incident, the strength of the army suddenly became important, and it was directly involved in the court, and at this time, the bigwigs of the modern literary school suddenly discovered that they were really lacking too much in military strength.

Of course, it's not a matter of a day or two.

As early as the Han-Qiang War, the Luoyang court found that the people in the Kwantung region as a whole were weakened, and the military strength of the Hebei and Nanyang Haoqiang groups that Liu Xiu relied on to seize the world had declined and could not be relied on, and they could not fight against the fierce Qiang people in the Liangzhou region at all.

They just want to debate and drink at home in peace, and they don't want to go to the battlefield to drink wind and eat sand.

In desperation, the Kansai Warriors Group began to rise, and Liangzhou Sanming stepped onto the stage of history.

The Kwantung scholars, who controlled the court in Luoyang, had to hand over military command to the Kansai people, and temporarily put up with the situation where the Kansai people entered the power of Luoyang through military exploits.

However, this contradiction at the level of interests is irreconcilable, and once it appears, it will inevitably cause chaos.

The successive political defeats of Liangzhou Sanming caused the Kwansai people to fall into a political decline, while the Kwantung scholars continued to hold important power in the Luoyang court.

This also triggered the separation of the border warriors from the central court of Luoyang.

Especially in Liangzhou, during this period, the Kwantung scholars did not regard the Liangzhou people as their own people, and the Liangzhou people did not regard the Luoyang court as their own court, and the Liangzhou people were the second-class citizens of the Eastern Han Empire.

Liangzhou was even on the verge of being stripped out of the Eastern Han Empire by the Luoyang Imperial Court.

However, the Kwantung Modern Literary School, which dominated the Luoyang Imperial Court, was indeed constantly weakening its literature, and there were no few military talents at all, and in their circles, there was no all-round environment like Yunwen Yunwu.

It's all a bunch of pampered and shameless politicians.

This situation did not change until the period of the Taiping Road Uprising, and the three main generals who pacified the Taiping Road Uprising were all border warriors, Lu Zhi in the north, Huangfu Song in the west, and Zhu Jun in the south.

Originally, there was a solution to this situation.

Because the Yuan clan in Runan, where their moral level and political conduct are relatively flexible, are more changeable, other literary families may not be willing to pull their faces to contact the warriors in the border areas, but the Yuan clan is willing.

Dong Zhuo, the current Taishou of Hedong, is the former official summoned by the Yuan family.

He is a native of Liangzhou, a barbarian and a second-class citizen in the eyes of the Kwantung family, and has always been in the circle of Liangzhou people, and was accepted and promoted by Zhang Huan, one of the three masters of Liangzhou, because of his bravery and courage in combat.

However, he later offended the Liangzhou Gang because of some things, and the society died in this circle, but Yuan Kui, who was Situ at the time, summoned him to get him out of the predicament, and he rose to the top.

So he became a member of the huge group of Yuan's former officials.

No one knows what means Dong Zhuo used to make a comeback after the death of the society as a native of Liangzhou, and even climb the high branches of the Yuan family, but this is no longer important, the Yuan family has since had a useful military talent.

Originally, this was a plus point for the modern literary school, with Dong Zhuo in hand, the modern literary school would definitely force Dong Zhuo to ascend to the throne, so that he could gain meritorious service in the Taiping Dao Rebellion, and increase the political bargaining chip for the modern literary school.

It's a pity that with the rebellion of the Yuan family, Dong Zhuo also entered the ancient literature group with the Yuan family.

In this campaign against Taipingdao, Dong Zhuo, the Taishou of Hedong, led an army to join Lu Zhi under the recommendation of Yuan Kui with the rank of captain of the thief school and accepted Lu Zhi's control.

Seeing that the military ability of the ancient literature school is very strong and there are many talents, Yang Ci and the bigwigs of the modern literature school began to feel anxious in their hearts.

They were stunned to find that they did not have the military talents in their hands, and they could not get a piece of the pie in this war, and could only watch the people of the ancient literature school make meritorious achievements.

It can be said that watching the people of the ancient literature school make achievements is even more uncomfortable than being punished for their own crimes.

A group of people calculated that there was no other way to snatch the merits, so someone proposed, saying that we can't get benefits, and the people of the ancient literature school should not want to get benefits.

If we can't exert our strength on the frontal battlefield, let's do things from behind.

Food, ordnance, salaries, rewards, and even rear decisions, we can use our strength, we can't fight, but we can also make these guys unable to win the war!

Yang Ci was quite moved by this.

Yang Biao, who was on the side, looked at his father with a frown.

"Father, if they are defeated, will it be good for us if the thieves and soldiers come to Luoyang?"

Yang Ci was stunned, thought about it again, and then looked at Yang Biao.

"Is it good for us that they have won the battle and have a great reputation?"

After Yang Biao heard this, he lowered his head and was silent.

Yang Ci looked at Yang Biao and sighed slowly.

"Don't worry, the Han can fail many times, but the ancient literature school can't fail even once, and the defeat of the Han is not once or twice, and now the world is still the world of the Han, but as long as Lu Zhi is defeated once, I can kill him."

After Yang Biao heard this, he wanted to say something, but looking at Yang Ci's expression, he knew that what he wanted to say was meaningless.

So Yang Biao gave up persuasion.
