Chapter 117: No one knows the suffering of Mancheng

Zhang Mancheng has no way not to evacuate Wancheng at present.

He was appointed by Zhang Jiao as the governor of Nanyang County, and guided all parties to attack the city of Nanyang, strive to break through Wancheng, complete the strategic goal of merging from the south into Luoyang, and join Zhang Jiao in Luoyang.

Therefore, the strategy of the Yellow Turban tribes in Nanyang was to use Zhang Mancheng's army as the main force to attack the official office, and the rest of the large and small Fangqu commanders went to the southern counties of Nanyang to attack the Wangzu Wu Fort, and provided Zhang Mancheng with the grain, baggage, and armor equipment that Zhang Mancheng needed on the northern front.

At the beginning of the division of labor, it sounded good, but when it came to implementation, it was completely out of shape.

Zhang Mancheng fought with the soldiers and horses of Nanyang Taishou Chu Gong and Jingzhou Thorn Shi Xu Miao's Assassin History Department in the north, quite dedicated, and the war was smooth for a while, Chu Gong and Xu Miao were defeated and retreated, so that Zhang Mancheng suppressed the soldiers and horses to the border of Wancheng.

But the problem is that the supply in the rear has not been strong.

Those small square canal commanders, such as lion's beard, Huangshan, Tiemei and other departments, but in the south of Nanyang laid down a lot of Wu forts, robbed countless grain, grass, baggage and ordnance, logically speaking, Zhang Mancheng can get rich supplies, arm his soldiers, and move forward to take Wancheng.

But it's a pity that those Yellow Turban Xiaofang Qushuai in the south changed their original intentions after seeing the "wealthy" of the Wang family.

The grain they provided to Zhang Dashuai at the front line was pitiful, and it was only enough to maintain it, and the ordnance and horses were also the worst part of the hoarding of various noble families, and the large head of grain and straw and high-quality iron tools and goods were all taken by the marshals as their own.

Because of this, Zhang Mancheng tasted the uncomfortable taste of lack of follow-up and difficulty in continuing to go north.

At the moment, he really doesn't have enough supplies to support him!

Originally, Zhang Mancheng has been sending people to the rear to lobby and urge all small parties recently, so that they can focus on the overall situation and quickly transport the baggage to the front line of Wancheng.

After all, Wancheng is the largest county in Nanyang, and it is also the economic center of Luoyang in Nanyang County, and it is also the pedal for the Yellow Turban Army to attack in the north.

Now Chu Gong has collected all the generals in Wancheng and tried his best to defend, Zhang Mancheng fought very hard.

He is now in dire need of supplies from the rear!

However, after learning about the nursery rhymes that circulated in Nanyang County, Zhang Mancheng knew in his heart that he could not continue to stay in Wancheng.

Now that the rumors came out, the first thing Zhang Mancheng thought of was whether the small parties in the rear would compete with each other in the south, and whether there would be internal strife and mutiny.

The military strength in Wancheng is not weak, although Zhang Man's department has 100,000 yellow turbans, but most of them are rabble, it is difficult to conquer Wancheng for a while, maybe it will be a long battle.

But if you want to fight a long war, you must have a stable rear supply line.

Seeing that the commanders of the small canals in the rear may be about to fight among themselves, how can Zhang Mancheng continue to attack in Wancheng?

He must nip the crisis in the rear in the bud.

Therefore, Zhang Mancheng could only temporarily abandon Wancheng, drive his troops south, first find a way to stabilize the rear, and then return to the division to capture Wancheng.

……

In the valley city, the Nanyang Yellow Turban Thief Lion is feasting on a group of Yellow Turban generals in the county.

Among the Yellow Turban Nanyang Roads, the person with the greatest results at present is Zhang Mancheng, but when it comes to the most wealth, it is Xiao Fangqu Shuai Lion's Whisker, who rode Zhang Mancheng, Zhao Hong and others in the north to deal with the official army, and the rest of the Qu Shuai in the south of Nanyang County to attack and plunder the Wangzu Wu Fort.

Although the family of Nanyang Emperor Township was surpassed by Ruying's family in the transformation of the gate of scripture and learning, the heritage is still very large.

Even though it is difficult to attack the Wu Fort of the Wang family, there are also a lot of storage in those partial Wu Forts, especially the Yin family and the Deng family, the two major families of Nanyang County, who have hoarded a lot.

In addition to the Wu Fort, the two clans' own families, there are many manors in the south of Nanyang County, and the wealth and grain reserves in these manors are enough for the Yellow Turbans to enjoy for a while.

After the lion beard led his subordinates to rob several Wu forts, he occupied Gucheng again, moved all the looted goods and baggage to Gucheng, and then closed the city gate and did not come out, allowing Zhang Mancheng to send people to urge, but he also pretended not to know.

The lion's whiskers sang in the valley city night and night, indulging in joy.

Qushou Lion was very drunk, and he did not forget to order his subordinates to go to the county town to find two good women and send them to him at night to warm his bed.

When the wine was half-drunk, someone admonished the lion: "Qu Shuai knows that in the land of Nanyang today, there is a nursery rhyme of Wei Wei?" ”

Lion's whiskers burped: "What nursery rhyme?" ”

His soldiers presented a written nursery rhyme to Lionbeard.

The lion's whiskers unfolded to look at it, only glanced at it a few times, and then threw it aside with an impatient expression.

It's not that he doesn't want to read it, it's that there are many words in it that he doesn't recognize.

"If you have anything to say, just say it!"

His subordinates hurriedly told Shixu about the content of this nursery rhyme, and said: "According to the content of this nursery rhyme, in the land of Nanyang, there should be a powerful person who will be the king in the year of Jiazi!" ”

When the lion whisker heard this, he couldn't help but perk up: "Really? ”

The ancients were superstitious, especially in today's environment.

The degree of worship of theology among the people in the Yellow Turbans is far beyond that of ordinary people.

"Qu Shuai, this nursery rhyme contains the learning of the weft, I recently deliberately found a few monks nearby, let them screen, its words are not only in line with the law of Yi, but also with the heavenly phenomena years and months of darkness, the language is rigorous, but although it is spread in the mouths of children in Nanyang County, it is difficult to find the source, I think it must be God!"

The lion beard nodded abruptly and said, "According to the above remarks, the one who can get the three counties and ten Wu Forts can be the king?" ”

"That's right, now Qu Shuai has been connected to Liuwu, occupying Gu County, and his prestige has been established, as long as he makes a little more progress and occupies two counties, he can be called the king!"

The lion's whiskers scratched his chin and said curiously, "Is this possible?" ”

"How not? Back then, Emperor Gao was only a pavilion chief, and he could also lead a group of people to guard the county seat! Qu Shuai is a great talent, leading the crowd to crisscross the Nanyang lands, and his reputation is far better than that of Han Gaozu when he first started the army, can't he still be a king? ”

"If there is chaos today, the general of Tiangong will destroy the Han Dynasty, and in the world of the Yellow Sky, all the big and small square canals can be kings!"

Lion Whisker is not high-born, and he has no much knowledge, and after listening to the fools of his subordinates, coupled with the fact that he has recently conquered many wealthy Wu Forts, he has obtained a lot of grain and iron tools, and he has countless burdens, and he is in the limelight, and he is a little fluttering for a while.

He did not provide these obtained goods to Zhang Mancheng's main army in the north, but kept them all for himself, and was very selfish.

Now that I have listened to the flickering of my subordinates, I have even more of a heart to divide the county.

As for the world of the yellow sky, they are all rich...... It's all, and it has nothing to do with him.

As for the Yellow Turban Sect members under his command, they were very happy at first shouting that they wanted to be equally rich, but when the wealth in several Wu Castles was placed in front of the sect members, the minds of these Yellow Turban Sect members all changed.

They are now, like their boss Lionbeard, and they just want to cling to these hard-earned riches!

It doesn't matter to them whether others are rich or poor.

Shixu hesitated: "It's just that in the words, it is necessary to have the posture of becoming a king according to the three counties, I only have one county now, and I still need to fight two more counties, and the other Zhulu sects, such as Zhao Hong, Han Zhong, Huangshan, Tiemei and other roads, are also attacking the city and seizing land in Nanyang, and we still need to be in front of them!" ”

"Qu Shuai, since he has not yet been able to defeat the three counties as the king, it is better to call the prince first, suppress people with might, and then justifiably attack Xinye, wait for the counties, and then cut Nanyang to claim the king, and recruit all kinds of righteous troops to vote! In order to stabilize people's hearts, General Tiangong will not blame. ”

Lion Whisker and his Yellow Turban generals are a group of short-sighted people, and at the same time they have little knowledge and knowledge, you need to know that Zhang Jiaoshang only claims to be a general, and they are actually worried about being called king and duke.

After a night of deliberation, driven by the immediate benefits, Xiao Fangqu Shuai Shixu really did the ridiculous thing in the world.

A few days later, the Lionbeard's banner in Valley City changed.

Originally, it was 'the sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand', but now it has become the word 'Gu Gong'.

The lion called himself 'Gu Gong', and began to seal the generals and schools under his command, and set up the positions of general, prime minister, imperial historian, and great Sima, and the overall system can be described as a mess.

If Zhang Jiao knew, he would definitely die of anger.

……

At the same time, Liu Jian, who was stationed on the border of Nanyang, was listening to his scouts report on the situation of the soldiers and horses on the various roads in Nanyang.

Before Liu Jian arrived in Nanyang, the situation in Wancheng was already precarious.

Zhang Mancheng was very anxious to attack Wancheng, but he didn't expect that after the thieves in the southern border of Nanyang hijacked the heavy iron weapons of the Hao clan Wubao, they all began to support their own troops, showing a defensive posture of defending the county seat.

In particular, the handsome lion beard of the Yellow Turban Canal in Gu County, who was stationed in Gu County, actually claimed to be Gu Gong and set up a vote of prime minister, a general, a doctor of imperial history, and a big Sima, and the official system was chaotic.

This move is tantamount to turning him all the way into an independent country in the Yellow Turban Army, which makes Zhang Mancheng how to lead the rest of the people?

And even more annoyingly, one did something stupid, and soon the second and third popped up.

Dong Fu's nursery rhyme spread wildly in Nanyang County, and in addition to the lion's whiskers, several other Qu Shuai couldn't help but think about it.

So, Qu Shuai Tiemei called himself Ye Gong, Qu Shuai Lei Gong called himself Lei Gong, and Qu Shuai Huangshan called himself Sui Gong.

However, there are a few people who are a little more literate than the lion's beard, at least there is no prime minister or general.

Subsequently, the various commanders began to attack the other Wu forts in the southern part of Nanyang County, and collided with each other.

In order to be able to seize more practical interests such as money, food, iron, and other practical interests, and also for that unforeseen dream, there was infighting and friction in Nanyang Yellow Turban Zhulu.

During the attack on the Xinye Deng Clan's Wu Fort, a fierce conflict broke out between Iron Mei and Lionbeard over the real profit.

The two armies and horses have just been set up by the great general and the prime minister in person, as for the other imperial historians, Shang Shuling, hussar generals and the like, not to mention, the soldiers were killed and wounded, just the high-level figures of the three princes and nine secretaries, no less than seventeen or eighteen people died in this conflict, which was a devastating blow to the construction of a country.

And not only these two soldiers and horses, but also the rest of the Yellow Turban roads began to break out because of things like this, and among the armies, in order to compete for materials and interests, civil wars were frequent.
