Chapter 88 The theory that the Yellow Turbans will be defeated
Chapter 88: The Yellow Turban will lose
"There are nine reasons why the Yellow Turban will fail in a fierce manner."
"First, the overall quality of the Yellow Turban Army is too low. Although the Yellow Turban Army is currently strong, it is like a tight string. With just one big defeat, all the advantages will be ruined."
Hearing this, Qin Hao couldn't help but nod. The overall quality of the Yellow Turban Army was indeed too low. How could the millions of troops formed in a hurry be of higher quality?
Low quality means poor military discipline. In the Yellow Turban Army, although Zhang Jiao still has layers of bans on major canals, incidents such as disturbing the people are still repeatedly banned.
If the Yellow Turban Army has been around for a long time, the Yellow Turban Army will lose the hearts of the people, and the hearts of the people are the foundation of the Yellow Turban. If the people are lost and the support of the people is, the demise of the Yellow Turban will only be a matter of time!
Of course, the low quality of the army also means one thing, that is, the weak combat power, which is also the biggest reason why Qin Wen could defeat Fang La 80,000 troops with 30,000 elite troops without any trouble, and dared to continue to design an ambush and kill Fang La Zhang Xianzhong's 100,000 coalition forces.
Although the Yellow Turbans have the advantage in the current three major battles, they only rely on their number of people. Once they lose one by one, they may be defeated by the Han Dynasty one by one.
Wang Meng was right at all. The Yellow Turban was a tight string, but the small drop could not withstand the big defeat.
On the contrary, the Han Dynasty is different. With the natural danger of Hulao Pass, the Han Dynasty can hide behind the Xiong Pass and maintain an unbeaten situation.
Although the Han Dynasty looked dangerous in terms of the situation, as long as the Yellow Turban could not break the Hulao Pass, it would not be able to enter Sizhou, thus threatening the imperial capital Luoyang.
"Second, the Yellow Turbans have insufficient foundation. At the beginning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there were already millions of troops. Now the Yellow Turbans are following more than tens of millions, but there are still only one million troops. Can you tell me why the Yellow Turbans did not expand their troops?"
"Food and grass!" Qin Hao said directly without thinking.
"Yes, the millions of troops are so huge that even the imperial court cannot afford it, let alone the Yellow Turbans. The Yellow Turbans have a huge number, but the only way to obtain food and grass is to seize and rob. "
"How can this last a million troops be supplied for a long time? So I can assert that the Yellow Turbans will be out of food soon, and then it will be the time for the imperial court to counterattack."
Qin Hao actually knew this, but it was not something he thought of, but it was only obtained after analysis by the news from the secret spy from the Jinyiwei.
But Wang Meng analyzed it himself without intelligence, which shows that there is still a big gap between top wise men like Qin Hao and Wang Meng.
"Third, Zhang Jiao has no son, heirs are hanging in the air, internal struggles continue to stop, and the contradictions are no longer irreconcilable. Once Zhang Jiao dies, the Yellow Turbans will fall into internal strife."
Hearing this, Qin Hao couldn't help but admire Wang Meng from the bottom of his heart, and at the same time he had more questions, so he asked: "How do you know that the people inside the Yellow Turban are uneven?"
The news inside the Yellow Turban is top secret. It is impossible to know as Wang Wang Meng. Where did this come from?
Wang Meng smiled faintly when he heard this, "It's very simple. Hong Xiuquan is the most popular among Zhang Jiao's disciples, while Xiang Yu is Zhang Jiao's prospective son-in-law. Can the lord know where Zhang Jiao sent these two people?"
"Hong Xiuquan attacked Yangzhou, and Xiang Yu attacked Xuzhou."
"That's right, Yangzhou is located in the southeast and is a remote place. Even if you go all out, it will not be a big contribution to the Yellow Turbans. Therefore, Hong Xiuquan is not the candidate for Zhang Jiao's successor."
"Where is that Xiang Yu?"
"Xuzhou is a wealthy place in the Central Plains, and it is indeed a great achievement to seize it. However, Xiang Yu is not the leader of the Yellow Turban Xuzhou. Zhang Jiao just sent him to take the land of Danyang. Therefore, although Xiang Yu is Zhang Jiao's son-in-law, he is not the candidate for the successor in Zhang Jiao's heart."
After hearing Wang Meng's words, Qin Hao suddenly realized something: "So, Zhang Jiao's heir is actually Huang Chao."
Qin Hao never expected that Zhang Jiao would be so selfless, not passing it to his son-in-law, not his younger brother, not his apprentice, and actually wanted to pass the position to Huang Chao, who had nothing to do with him.
But this is also a way to cause disaster. Huang Chao is not Zhang Jiao, and Xiang Yu and Hong Xiuquan cannot be convinced.
"Zhang Jiao led two brothers to attack Jizhou, and later sent Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang to preside over the affairs of Qingzhou and Youzhou, but sent Huang Chao to attack Yanzhou. It turned out that he wanted Huang Chao to take the greatest contribution to finally support Huang Chao to the throne. Zhang Jiao is really an old fox." Qin Hao slowly said to himself. At this time, he finally realized and understood all the arrangements Zhang Jiao had made before.
Yanzhou is closest to Sizhou and is at the center of the Yellow Turban Uprising. Here, the Yellow Turban can concentrate its superior forces in the shortest time, and then directly attack Sizhou with Yanzhou as the base. If it can eventually break through the Han capital Luoyang, Huang Chao will be the biggest contributor of the Yellow Turban. With this contribution, at least most of the Yellow Turban Qus will not say anything else!
"However, Huang Chao met General Lu Zhi, the most experienced general among the three generals, so he failed to quickly take Yanzhou, which made Zhang Jiao's plan fail." Wang Meng said with some regret.
"The Yellow Turbans are roughly divided into three factions, Hong Xiuquan, Xiang Yu and Huang Chao. Hong Xiuquan has the support of most of Zhang Jiao's disciples, Xiang Yu has Xiang Yan as the backing, and Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang will definitely support Huang Chao. Therefore, once Zhang Jiao dies, the Yellow Turbans will be divided and will be defeated one by one by the court sooner or later."
"fourth……"
...
"The ninth and most important point is that the Yellow Turban Rebellion is a civilian uprising, so at the beginning of the uprising, it was destined to stand opposite the aristocratic families in the world. The aristocratic families would never sit and watch the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the untouchables they looked down upon, and they won the world."
Speaking of this, a hint of mockery flashed across Wang Meng's mouth.
"When the court really couldn't hold on, the families in the occupied areas might be indifferent to protect themselves, but the families in the unoccupied areas will be determined to help the court, asking people to give money, and asking for food."
The relationship between the Yellow Turbans and the aristocratic families is very special. For small and medium-sized families that do evil, the Yellow Turbans have always been directly erased, but they are much tolerant of the big families. After all, the big families have a large power and the relationship is complicated. If one offends one, it is a group. Before the Han Dynasty was destroyed, Zhang Jiao did not want to make too many enemies.
Although the Yellow Turbans temporarily let the aristocratic family go, the aristocratic family is not grateful. To this day, few aristocratic families still take the initiative to surrender. The Yellow Turbans have a hot face and the aristocratic family are cold-hearted, and the aristocratic family missed the only opportunity to reconcile with the Yellow Turbans.
A hint of coldness appeared on the corner of Wang Meng's mouth and continued: "But now the Yellow Turbans can't wait for that time. Now the day when the Yellow Turbans are out of food is about to end. Instead of being defeated by the food cut off, it is better to use any means to obtain food and grass."
Qin Hao was shocked when he heard this and said, "Sir, will the Yellow Turbans seize grain from the aristocratic family?"
"That's right."
"Isn't this a poison to quench thirst?"
"Zhang Jiao has no choice." Wang Meng said lightly.
Qin Hao lowered his head when he heard this. Yes, he would do this too, and he really didn’t have a choice!
"The families in the occupied areas will suffer heavy losses, but at the same time they will strengthen the determination of the aristocratic families in the world to unite against the enemy. Standing opposite to the aristocratic families in the world, the Yellow Turban will be doomed to fail, which no one can stop them."
…………
Originally, Qin Hao did not think that the Yellow Turban would definitely fail, because the talent lineup of the Yellow Turban in this era is too strong.
But after listening to Wang Meng's nine-point Yellow Turbans' argument that the Yellow Turbans will be defeated, Qin Hao understood that the Yellow Turban Army, which stood opposite the aristocratic family, had been doomed to fail since the beginning of the uprising, and this was something that no one could reverse.
No matter how strong a person is, he cannot fight against the world. In this era, aristocratic families are the world.
