Compared with the Yellow Turban Army, which had a strategic advantage, the days of the Han army were much harder. In the Han army camps ten miles away from the Yellow Turban Army Chiefs, the tents were still brightly lit inside and outside, and the generals were staying up late to discuss how to resolve the current crisis.

Although it was in a hurry, Taiping Road's preparations for more than ten years were beyond the imagination of the court. The Yellow Turban Army Uprising affected most prefectures and counties north of the Yangtze River, especially in the densely populated middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. The people of the entire village and towns followed suit and rebelled, and countless towns were occupied by the Yellow Turban Army. The documents of all directions flew in like snow, and the Han Dynasty was panicked, and the party and fining order that had lasted for many years also showed signs of loosening. This was a struggle between the three major forces in the court. Even when life and death were hanging on the front line, they still regarded the struggle for power and profit above everything else.

Many short-sighted people think that the Yellow Turban riot is not essentially different from previous mass incidents, but in this world where extraordinary power exists, there are many powerful people who can observe the celestial phenomena at night and watch the qi in the daytime. If anyone thinks that this group of people will not be able to see how heavy the Yellow Turban Rebellion hit the Han Dynasty's energy, that is nonsense.

"...This time, the Runan Moth thieves advanced northward, and the road was unstoppable. Recently, I heard that the Runan Qu commander Peng Tuo Wu was extremely brave. Another general in the army called General Bai. These two thieves defeated the rebel army many times, and they were not ordinary people."

In the handsome tent where the candle was lit, Huangfu Song, who was worried, knelt in front of the desk filled with bamboo slips and silk books, introduced the situation to his two colleagues. Zhu Yan, who was sitting in the west, held a tea bowl and took a sip of the thick tea soup seasoned with ginger and salt. He said:

"Good, this villa is vicious. You should destroy it as soon as possible to eliminate future troubles."

Hearing the sound, Lu Zhi, who was sitting on the east side of Gao Guanbo, sighed without hesitation, shook his head and said:

"I heard that Bo, the two thieves Peng have always been in a bad mood, and the two armies also have a similar appearance and separation. Bo thieves denounced the Runan Mo thieves to station in separate camps, which shows that these people are short-sighted and have no plans, and may be divided and governed."

The martial arts trend was prevalent during the Qin and Han dynasties. The Qin army was brave and good at fighting and sweeping across Liuhe under Shang Yang's farming and fighting strategy. Meng Tian's Great Wall Legion used a powerful crossbow to completely lose his temper. If the chaos in the late Qin Dynasty had not given Maodun Shanyu the opportunity to integrate his internal defeat of the old enemy Donghu people, I'm afraid the Huns would not have had any trouble on the prairie.

The Han army was also very combat-effective. Even the new recruits who had never been on the battlefield were also heroes who had been practicing martial arts in their hometown for many years and were used to dancing guns and sticks. They were definitely not those who later put down their hoes and took a knife and rod to open the mud legs with people. Such brave elite soldiers, coupled with hundreds of steel-making techniques, were not uncommon for the Han army to frequently sweep the north of the Mobei. However, the three kingdoms of the late Han Dynasty, with many generals and strategists, were the last glory of the glory of this great empire. In the next few hundred years, the tragedy encountered by the Han people.

Written in history books, it is so sad that it is unbearable to read it. It can be imagined that if it were not for the cruel and cruel people like Ran Min, they would be afraid that the Han people north of the Yangtze River would die, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River might not be able to survive alone. At that time, the unique Chinese civilization would have to be placed in a museum with the other three predecessors of the four ancient civilizations for people to admire. Just as Aryanization of India in the Middle Ages was not the same as the ancient Indian civilization earlier, the greening of Mesopotamia and Egypt also had nothing to do with creating the inheritance of ancient civilizations.

Without a pair of wise eyes that see through the long river of history, Huangfu Song did not know where the Han Empire, which he had been loyal to, would go. Now all he could do is to perform his duties conscientiously. Huangfu Song put forward different views on Lu Zhi's statement and said in a deep voice:

"Mr. Lu's words seem to be inappropriate. If you defeat the Peng bandits first, the Bo bandits will definitely counterattack. At that time, they will be attacked from both sides, and our army will be in danger!"

Listening to the opinions of both parties, Zhu Jun blurted out and said:

"Oh, it's just that our army is short of troops. We are waiting for the thief army to become large. The delay will eventually lead to a great problem. Why not submit a memorial to the court as soon as possible and ask the court to send more reinforcements. What do you think of if you and others?"

Currently, the Yellow Turbans in the Yuzhou area gathered in Changshe area are not counted as the old and weak in the army. The strong soldiers have more than 100,000 troops, plundering the arsenals of local counties and counties, and their equipment is no less than that of the Han official army.

The Yellow Turban Army of Runan came to Changshe to join the army. Peng Tuo's subordinates could at least raise 20,000 to 30,000, not to mention that the commander of Qu Peng Tuo and the unknown general Bai were both powerful generals who could charge alone. The support of the Yellow Turban Army of Runan could not be a trivial matter that was mentioned easily. In the world where personal force could crush the weak Gaowu world, the sudden appearance of two powerful generals was no less than the addition of tens of thousands of troops to the enemy. Even Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and Lu Zhi were famous generals who were chosen for a while, they did not dare to boast that they could easily turn the tables without having the advantage of both military and generals.

Compared with the Yellow Turban Army, which had an absolute advantage on the surface, although Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo came to reinforce the Han army, their troops were limited, and their reputation and talents were not enough to allow the three commanders to entrust them to the heavy responsibility. Looking at the cards on hand, the Han generals were of course worth worrying.

Since ancient times, the way to use military forces is to accumulate momentum, be as quiet as water, and move like a mountain collapse. Waiting for the work of the masses to overwhelm the few is the kingly way of military strategy. I rack my brains to think about what to play a gamble of the country with the weak to defeat the strong. If it is not a helpless act forced by the situation, it can only be attributed to a brainlessness. I am talking about the general who has been using the weak to defeat the strong all my life, either bragging or being really crazy. The so-called seeking victory first and then fighting. The master who understands this military pronoun in reverse is to send his face to the door to find a slap.

"Alas, the party and corruption have not been resolved so far, and the debate in the court is in full swing, I'm afraid..."

As soon as Huangfu Song said this, the commander's tent suddenly became quiet. War is a continuation of politics. Many generals can remain calm when facing the enemy, but end up being killed by their own people. This is called magical powers not as good as the number of days!

In terms of absolute quantity, the population at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty was far inferior to that of the Western Han Dynasty. Even considering the same, it is true that there were hidden households in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Was there no hidden households during the Western Han Dynasty? Since the total population of the Eastern Han Dynasty was not as large as that of the Western Han Dynasty, it proved that there were still many wastelands, why would ordinary people have no food to eat? This is obviously an eternal difficulty of having chickens or eggs first.

You might as well call the process and results of creating wealth "making cakes". The means of distributing wealth can be called "dividing cakes". Making a big cake is of course very important, but there is no cake to divide, which is of course not possible. Similarly, it is also important to distribute cakes reasonably. If one is not done well, there will be big problems. Unfortunately, most of the ancient Chinese dynasties were on the step of dividing cakes. Analyzing the causes and consequences, people have to sigh that they are all committed to death!

Although the amount of wasteland that can be reclaimed in the Eastern Han Dynasty was much more than that of the Western Han Dynasty, the small farmers with one land each had no ability to reclaim wasteland. What was even more deceptive was Ding Fu. This kind of tax is commonly known as the cap tax. From the moment everyone is born, they will become glorious taxpayers.

Of course, considering the mortality rate of infants and young children, dynasties usually start to impose a counting tax on half-old children. If the age is fourteen or five years old, even if it is an adult, it will not be possible to escape the net of heaven and earth weaved by national taxation. This counting tax greatly reduces the living standards of ordinary people and even makes them afraid to have children. What can be compared with modern people is value-added tax.

Assuming that those public opinion propaganda that fools people is true, taxes are taken from the people and used by the people to redistribute wealth. It is obvious that rich people with rich wealth should pay more taxes than poor people. However, what is the reality, hahahahaha...

Whether it is the cap tax or the value-added tax, they play a role in real life, which is to rob the poor and help the rich. A billionaire who drives a Mercedes-Benz villa and an office worker squeezing a bus to buy a bottle of mineral water. The tax they pay for the price of this product is equal, and they will not charge him a dime tax just because the wealth and income of the rich dogs exceeds that of several tens of thousands of times that of the rich. The difference is that the personal wealth and tax-inclusive goods with the same price is invisibly exploiting the poor to subsidize the rich. It is also easy to understand why it is so difficult to increase the personal income tax threshold. The rich people's ability to fight against tax evasion and transfer property is several times that of the little people. ZF attempts to increase taxes on them can be said to be neither economic nor convenient. So what should we do? In a word, when an old lady eats persimmons, she might as well pick up soft pinches.

Under the premise of a stable social environment, these people who have been plundered are not enough to lead to fatal crises. When encountering famines, or emergencies such as financial storms, it is easy for the people to survive if they are worsened. In ancient society, they would break up and rebel, and in modern society, they would go out for a collective walk.

A chronic disease that cannot be solved in modern society is even more terminally ill in ancient times. Before the Han Dynasty solved the political problems, there was little hope for the front line to request Luoyang to increase its troops. However, the Han army still had the opportunity to strengthen its troops, which was the righteous courage from the people.

Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu, relied on aristocratic families to start his family. Afterwards, he also made the Eastern Han Dynasty a paradise for aristocratic families. The wealthy families in various places raised their troops, farmed on weekdays and served as soldiers during wartime. He casually pulled out a thousand-eight hundred troops to catch a large number of people in the Central Plains. For example, when Cao Cao sent troops to pacify Runan, the powerful people who supported the Yuan family gathered tens of thousands of private troops to fight against the Cao army. This was just a county, and no one could explain how many powerful people there were in the entire Yuzhou.

The contradiction between the poor and the rich is the biggest contradiction in the world. Since the Yellow Turban Army represents the interests of the poor who cannot survive, the powerful men in the late Han Dynasty naturally stood on their opposite side, and their butts determine their heads. This is definitely right.

After brief discussions with Zhu Jun, Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun immediately sent messengers to seek help from the powerful and brave men from all over the world. Soon, the powerful private troops from all over the Yuzhou began to move closer to the Changshe River, and a decisive battle was on the verge of arrows.
