Chapter 28: The three major battlefields of the market

On April 13, all Julu County in Jizhou fell.

On April 19, Xia Pi County, Donghai, Xuzhou, Henan, fell.

April 26, Yangzhou...

On May 3, all Yuzhou except Yingchuan County were captured.

On May 27, all Nanyang County except the capital Wancheng, had fallen.

...

The current situation cannot be described as critical. People from all over the world have already swept the yellow turbans and turned from Zhangjiao, with nearly one million soldiers who can fight.

The Yellow Turban Thiefs were so powerful that the government and the army was popular. If the Han Dynasty was not careful, it would be dangerous to destroy the country.

When the country was destroyed and the seeds were destroyed, the Han Dynasty no longer cared about the money and food. General He Jin reported to Emperor Han Liu Hong, asking for an edict to order all places to speed up recruiting troops and prepare for the Yellow Turban thieves on their own. He also asked the powerful locals to recruit rebel troops to fight against the thieves and make contributions.

After Liu Hongyun reported, he sent the Generals of the Central Army, Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, to lead their own elite troops and divide them into three groups to fight against the Yellow Turban thieves.

Huangfu Song led 80,000 elite troops to Hebei, responsible for extermination of the three Zhang Jiao-san brothers who had nearly 400,000 troops in Jizhou;

Lu Zhi led 70,000 elite troops to the Central Plains, responsible for destroying Huang Chao, who had nearly 300,000 troops in Yanzhou;

Zhu Jun led 80,000 elite troops to Yuzhou, responsible for the elimination of Xiang Yan, who had more than 200,000 troops.

After all the 250,000 troops were sent out, the huge Sili land was almost empty, with only 30,000 defenders in Luoyang, and the entire Sizhou garrison was only 50,000, which was undoubtedly quite dangerous for a country's capital.

General He Jin suggested recruiting 100,000 troops immediately to defend the capital, but Emperor Ling Liu Hong believed that the 100,000 troops were still unsafe, so he waved his hand and ordered the recruitment of 200,000 troops.

Luoyang once again gathered 250,000 troops in a short period of time, but I don’t know the combat effectiveness. Anyway, their mission is to defend the stability of Luoyang, the capital, but at this time, news of unsuccessful wars came from the battlefield ahead.

Huangfu Song was worthy of being from a family of generals. He set up an ambush in Wei County shortly after he rushed to Jizhou. He destroyed 150,000 Yellow Turban Army in one battle, and won the first great victory since the war with the Yellow Turban Army. Although the record was extremely brilliant, the Huangfu Army also suffered nearly 30,000 casualties.

The 1-to-5 ratio of war loss is absolutely good news. It should be celebrated, but the key is that the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou still has 250,000, and it has also recruited 100,000 young and strong men from the crowd and organized them into the army, and its troops have been restored to 350,000.

The Yellow Turban Army had no military pay, and they could fight as long as they had food and grass, and the reserved troops were also very sufficient. The court army had to pay military pay. If it was consumed like this, the treasury, which was not rich, would be empty.

The most important thing is that through this battle, the Han Dynasty also knew that the Yellow Turban Army was not as weak as they imagined. Although their equipment was simple and insufficient training, their resistance was very tenacious. It was almost impossible to quickly wipe out the Yellow Turban Army.

Huangfu Song had only 50,000 troops left. Although they were all elite, it was undoubtedly extremely difficult to win the 350,000 Yellow Turban Army, which was fearless and fearless, with this.

In desperation, Huangfu Song was forced to turn to the defensive and replenish his troops on the spot while preparing for a defensive counterattack.

By mid-May, the two sides had fought dozens of times, with each other winning and losing, and the battle situation gradually fell into a stalemate. With Huangfu Song's efforts, the battle situation in Hebei was barely maintained in an unbeaten situation.

The war situation in the north was not going well, which made the court worried, but the Central Plains and the South were even more dangerous.

Lu Zhi, who was born in a great Confucian scholar, met Huang Chao, who was also born in a Confucian scholar. The friction between the two sides was extremely fierce, and Yanzhou Dongjun became the main battlefield between the two.

In terms of ability to lead troops, the two were equally matched, and they had no choice but to fight each other for more than ten times.

Although Huang Chao was full of wisdom and tricks, Lu Zhi was cunning and could always see through Huang Chao's strategy.

In desperation, Huang Chao had to personally lead the main army to siege Lu Zhi in Dongjun, and then send another general Zhu Wen to lead 100,000 troops to continue to conquer the other prefectures and counties in Yanzhou.

Seeing this, Lu Zhi was helpless. He felt exhausted when dealing with Huang Chao, and he had no spare time to divide his troops to rescue him. So he had to replenish troops on the spot, while ordering the prefects of Yanzhou counties to strictly guard against each other.

Although the battlefields in Hebei and Central Plains were unfavorable, they barely blocked the offensive of the Yellow Turban Army. However, Zhu Yen from Yuzhou was not so lucky.

Zhu Ye himself was also a first-class commander, but he encountered the top commander in Chinese history, Xiang Yan, the god of the Chu army, and the soldiers were still at a disadvantage, so he was naturally sad.

In the first battle, Zhu Ye originally wanted to rely on his strength in the army and strong armor to replay the overlord's deeds and sail, break through Xiang Yan's battle formation head-on, and then go to wipe out Hong Xiuquan, who had gone to Yangzhou after regaining Yuzhou, but he did not know that he had plunged into the pocket formation carefully laid by Xiang Yan.

Seeing that Zhu Yan was deceived, Xiang Yan ordered the second son Xiang Liang to lead the elite troops of the entire army and forcibly blocked the attack of the Han army head-on, so Zhu Yan was sad.

The 80,000 elite soldiers were almost made into dumplings by Xiang Yan's 200,000 troops. If Zhu Ye hadn't reacted quickly enough and broke through in time, the ending would have been annihilated.

However, even if we successfully broke out, the army suffered great casualties. After breaking through, more than half of the 80,000 elite soldiers were killed or injured, and only 30,000 left were left and their morale was low.

Zhu Ye could only fight and retreat, and then recruited troops on the spot to resist one after another, while asking for help from the court, waiting for reinforcements.

However, there is one thing that Zhu Ye should be grateful, that is, Xiang Yu asked to attack Danyang County, Jiangdong, so he was not in Xiang Yan's army. If Xiang Yu was there, then the only thing waiting for Zhu Ye was to be wiped out, and he would never have the possibility of breaking out.

The three armies made no achievements, and Zhu Ye in the south was defeated directly. While furious, Emperor Han Liu Hong was more frightened.

Is the great man going to die at my hands? I don’t believe it! Liu Hong’s roar resounded throughout the court, but he still couldn’t reverse the decline.

Although Huangfu Song and the three generals were unable to suppress the Yellow Turbans and Zhu Yan was even defeated directly, Liu Hong had to use them because at this time, almost all the generals who could fight in the court had been sent out, and no one could send them.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Moreover, even if the generals are replaced in the last battle, it is probably impossible to do better than the third generals, so I can only provide assistance. After all, I can't watch them lose, right?

However, except for 50,000 veterans in the court, there were only 200,000 new recruits who had never been on the battlefield, but the Han Dynasty did not care about these.

Although the Luoyang New Army has never been on the battlefield, it has been trained for nearly two months. It is better than the mud legs of the Yellow Turbans that have not even been trained!

So the 250,000 army that had just assembled by Luoyang sent out another 150,000 in a blink of an eye, Huangfu Song received 30,000 reinforcements, Lu Zhi received 50,000, and Zhu Jun received 70,000.

After the reinforcements were sent, Sili was empty again, so Liu Hong ordered another 150,000 troops to be recruited. However, even if there were many new recruits, it was still difficult to wipe out the Yellow Turbans. So the general He Jin offered a plan to transfer the elite troops of the border army to suppress the Yellow Turbans. Fang Zheng had no other way, and Emperor Ling could only agree.

The generals recruited this time include Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou, Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, Dong Zhuo, the prefect of Hedong, Gongsun Zan, the general of the guardian Wuhuan, and Qin Wen, the prefect of Yanmen...

Four years ago, the Qin family moved their focus from Xianyang, Guanzhong to Jinyang, Bingzhou, and took root and redeveloped.

After Qin Wen became an official, he did not stay in Luoyang as a general. Instead, he followed Qin Hao's advice and asked to transfer to Bingzhou from outside, and was later named the prefect of Yanmen.

In the past four years, Qin and Wen defeated more than 10,000 people invaded the south 13 times. With their great military achievements, they were named General Pingbei, General of the Central Army of the Protecting the Huns, and Marquis of Yanmen, and were second only to the governor Ding Yuan in Bingzhou.

Taking advantage of Qin Wen's power, Jia Yu led the Qin family caravan through various difficulties and eventually monopolized the trade between Bingzhou and the northern grasslands, and controlled the four most profitable transactions of Bingzhou, namely grain and iron horses.

After four years of eruption development, the Qin family now looks like the fifth largest commercial family in the Han Dynasty.

After reading all the contents of the battle report without missing a word, Qin Hao closed the battle report in his hand with satisfaction, and then fell into thinking.

"The great man is now in chaos. My father is about to lead his troops south soon. I have been silent for four years. It is time to be born. I have been studying with my master for four years, but I don't know how much the fifth dimension has increased. It's time to take a big inventory!"

Qin Hao has not detected his five-dimensional attributes for the past four years. There is no other reason, but he is ignored because he is too busy. However, Qin Hao believes that in addition to charm, the four-dimensional dimensions will definitely be greatly improved.

"System, give me a big inventory over the past four years." Qin Hao ordered the system.

[Okay, the inventory starts. Dingdong, the host's current five-dimensional attributes are Commander 88 (+78), Force 85 (+75), Intelligence 95 (58), Political 89 (+69), Charm 95 (+10). After four years of hard study, the total attributes of the host have increased by 290 points, and it has been automatically exchanged for the host for summoning points. Currently, the host has 290 summoning points.]

"The average attribute is actually over 90, which is not easy."

"Will the host summon it?"

Qin Hao replied after a little thought: "No, wait until I take some military power from my father before summoning me. At present, I have no soldiers or soldiers in my hands."

"Okay, keep the inventory."

[Dingdong, during the four years of study tours with the great scholar Wang Xu, the name of the host Wang Xu's apprentice has spread. In addition, many Tang and Song lyrics have been copied. At present, the host's talent in the Han Dynasty has been widely circulated. The second ring of the reputation mission "Little Famous" has been completed. The reward summoning point is 50, a magic weapon card is one, and the charm value is 1 point (Note: it has been included in the current charm value).]

[Dingdong, the third ring of the reputation mission, ‘Famous Masterpiece’ has been completed, the reward summoning point is 60, a mount card is one, and the charm value is 2 points (Note: it has been included in the current charm value).]

Although Qin Hao's copying was not burdened, plagiarism was not a good thing, so Qin Hao was a little embarrassed when he heard this, so he smiled and started to argue.

"I didn't expect that I could win reputation even if I walked around with my master. You know that this would be fine. I will stop being a literary thief."

In the past four years, in order to complete the terrifying reputation task with high punishment for failure, Qin Hao has spent a lot of effort and finally found that the easiest way to gain reputation is to copy poetry.

Poetry has extraordinary charm in this era. A good poem and a good article are enough to make ordinary officials famous scholars. This shows the Han people's admiration for poetry.

Qin Hao's Chinese language is pretty good, so he naturally wouldn't miss such a good opportunity to cheat. Besides, no time traveler doesn't plagiarize? It's really stupid! So Qin Hao has no psychological burden for plagiarism.

However, literary thieves are not easy to be a good person. You must know that not everything can be copied. You must always consider whether people of this era can accept it. It is definitely not enough to be too advanced. And the most important thing is to be in line with the theme and in line with the actual situation. If you recite the poems on Qingming Festival in the Mid-Autumn Festival, the same words will completely change.

At the Mid-Autumn Festival at the age of thirteen, Qin Hao chanted a song "Shuitu Songtou" in front of Guiguzi. Because of the three words "Together with the beauty of the moon" in the poem, Guiguzi laughed and called him a "prodigal son" for a long time afterwards.

[Most of the host's reputation is earned by plagiarism. If you don't become a literary thief, it is impossible to complete the third ring so quickly.]

"Is that true, hehe!"

Qin Hao's face suddenly became even more embarrassing. After all, plagiarism is always disgraceful, and it is possible to meet the original author in this era. That scene will be embarrassing!

[Dingdong, since the host completes the third ring of the reputation task, the fourth ring of the reputation task, the "Famous Transfers Sifang" is unblocked. Success rewards 70 summoning points, one magic weapon card, one mount card, a charm value of 3 points, and the task is limited to three years. Punishment of failure, deduct 140 summoning points.]

[Currently, the host has a total of 30 290 50 60 summoning points, a total of 430 summoning points.]

"The torture of these four years is really in vain. The 430 summoning point can be performed three top summons!
