Chapter 75 The situation in Yingchuan County
With the Li Damu thief army in Puyin County being destroyed, Lu Bu was completely opposed to the Yellow Turbans in the Taihang Mountains such as Zhang Niujiao and Chu Feiyan.
However, the news transmission in this era was very slow, and Lu Bu asked Puyin County Magistrate to make the contribution and suppress the spread of the news from the source. When Zhang Niujiao and Chu Yan received the news, Lu Bu and his army had already crossed the Taihang Mountains and entered a wider world: Yuzhou
Yuzhou is one of the thirteen prefectures in the world. Because it is close to the Sili area of Kyoto, it is one of the most rampant areas in which the Yellow Turban Army was at the beginning, seriously threatening the living environment around Luoyang. Therefore, the first way for the imperial army to conquer was the Yellow Turban Army in Yuzhou. The rest were either due to the distance or the terrain was due to the distance, the main army of the imperial court had to delay a lot of time on the journey.
Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun each led an army to control the five schools, Sanhe knights and the newly recruited elite soldiers and warriors, and they walked a long journey and did not dare to stop. In just a few days, they arrived in Yingchuan.
When Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun first arrived, the appearance of Yingchuan was chaotic. Mottled thoughts filled the world. Some said that they believed in the Yellow Turban to be immortal, some said that the Yellow Turban was a rebel, some said that the Yellow Turban was a righteous man, some said that the Yellow Turban was a heavenly soldier and general who came down to earth, and used talisman water and swords and guns to save lives and heal the wounded...
It has to be said that during the process of preaching the teachings and treating diseases and talismans that Zhang Jiao traveled around Jiuzhou before the rebellion, many poor people believed in his name as a great wise and good teacher. Some even more, some gentry regarded Zhang Jiao as a guest.
The situation in Yingchuan County is so corrupt, and the hearts of the people in Yingchuan County are so floating. However, Yangdi City, the capital of Yingchuan County, is like a small boat slapped in a storm, standing still in the impact of hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban Army.
It is not only because of the desperate city walls that are high and despairing, but also because the Yingchuan Academy in Yingchuan County also has the Chen family and Xun family in Yangdi City. The famous scholars in the world come from Yingchuan, and the eight dragons of the Xun family occupy one end.
Zhang Jiao is not a fool, and he cannot make things difficult for the world's famous scholars to achieve the mental retardation of establishing an ideal country. What's more, Yingchuan Academy is full of talents and there are many Yingchuan Academy.
Of course, Yingchuan Academy is not as famous as decades later, but there are also talented people in the Yellow Turban Army, and some people can see the scarcity of their strategists. The so-called white cats, black cats, and those who catch rats are all good cats.
Bo Cai, who was in charge of the Yellow Turbans in Yingchuan, was a great commander of the Yellow Turbans who valued talents. He repeatedly ordered his subordinates to harass Yingchuan Academy in batches, and asked them to loudly persuade or change directions outside the academy to force the students in the academy to join the Yellow Turban Rebel Army. The result was: Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You, Xi Zhicai and other famous strategists during the Three Kingdoms period were harassed by the Yellow Turban Army. In short, the Yellow Turban Army, which left a very rude and tough impression, was marked by the strategists such as Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You, Xi Zhicai. As a result, the first idea after these strategists who could not be more powerful was to become officials: stay away from the evil Yellow Turbans and not join the Yellow Turban Army. The second idea: I want to help my lord turn the Yellow Turbans to death. The third idea: Think about it, although the Yellow Turbans were rude, they were useless at the beginning, and they should not be killed.
So Cao Cao, the enemy of the Yellow Turban, received the full guidance of many strategists. Hundreds of thousands of Qingzhou Yellow Turbans finally saved their lives and then became a chess piece for strategists to plan, which is commonly known as high-level cannon fodder...
Alas, there is indeed a cause and a result!
...
County town of Jiaxian.
In a private room at Zilai Inn.
Huang Pusong and Zhu Jun sat upright, staring at the generals around him with a calm expression. They couldn't help but sigh.
A few days ago, he advised Zhu Jun to have a strong treason in the thief army and not to fight head-on with the thief army. Instead, he should stick to the county town and prepare for a protracted war with the thief army. However, Zhu Jun was impulsive and passionate. Seeing the rampant Yellow Turbans, he insisted on gathering a large army to fight head-on with the thief army no matter what, to show the confidence and courage of the court.
Huang Pusong could not persuade him, and was ashamed by Zhu Jun's words: You are afraid of the Yellow Turban, why am I afraid of it? Are you afraid of death? I am not afraid of it!
Huang Pusong believed that he had received the emperor's kindness. Thinking about it, he didn't dare to fight when he saw the thief army was in great power, it was inevitable that he would gossip. So he finally tacitly acquiesced to Zhu Jun's tough behavior.
Fortunately, he was still careful and asked Zhu Jun to bring two-thirds of the army to go, while he led the remaining one-third so that he could respond at any time.
As a result, on that day, Zhu Jun's 28,000 soldiers and Bo Cai's 200,000 were mixed with the so-called army of genders and ages.
In this battle, the sky was dark, ghosts cried, wolves cried, children cried, old men cried, young women cried. I don’t know how many people in the Yellow Turban Army broke through this battle, and I don’t know how many people in the court army had a intensive phobia in this battle.
The weak elderly, young children, and miserable women, Zhu Jun, who underestimated them, had to admit that he was careless. When these people were brainwashed by the power of faith, the powerful force that burst out was simply devastated.
At least in this defeat of the imperial army that lost at least 5,000 people, many of the imperial army were bitten to death by a young woman with red eyes. There were also many strange and unexpected ways of death. For example: blinded by a slingshot, then beaten to death by a stick! For example: stripped naked from his pants, then scratched by an old man and died of pain. For example: first surrounded by a group of people, then trampled to death! In short, there are countless.
Although the Yellow Turban lost more than 10,000 people, the old, weak and disabled were all like a hair falling off in Jiuniu. The only thing worth comforting is that it was not naturally falling off, but pulled out by someone who tried hard.
"Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. As a senior general of the army, he was depressed and uneasy after being defeated for a while. When will he be able to eliminate the bandits?"
Zhu Jun said in a low voice as if comforting others and cheering himself up. Zhu Jun was indomitable and heartless. After a few days of defeat, he dared to continue to scold others. If others had suffered defeat, he would have been hiding in the corner and being ashamed.
"This, eliminating bandit troubles is not a temporary achievement, it requires discussion from the senior citizen!" A senior general pulled his beard, coughed, and expressed his opinion.
"Yes, yes! General Huang Pusong is far-sighted and completely determined. If General Zhu Zhonglang was unable to act alone, why would it cause such a detriment to the face of the imperial army?" The other generals in the wing room pointed the finger at Zhu Jun. Logically speaking, Zhu Jun was the chief officer, and they should not do so, and they dared not do so, but who made Zhu Jun suffer a defeat as soon as he came? If the court blamed him, it would be better to take him on duty?
"Hmph, I don't know what you guys are thinking about? But I have never heard of being punished after losing a battle. I have to give you a chance to atone for your sins, right?" Zhu Jun glared at him in anger.
