Chapter 11: The Bandits
"If you serve the palace well in the future, I will naturally not treat you badly, if you can, the position of the Moon Palace may not be impossible to give you."
Listening to the words of the woman in front of them who was similar in age to them, Diao Chan and Cai Wenji, who had just been named, didn't know what to do.
Cai Wenji was still a little frightened and wanted to cry, after all, she was well treated, it is said that she was going to get married this time when the Wei family brought her back, although she was in the prime of life, but Wei Zhongdao, the son of the head of the Wei family, was now weak, and he was afraid that if he was delayed, he might die young.
It's just that Lang Jun, who was ordered by the Wei family to pick up his relatives, came back from Jiangdong to visit the elders who were familiar with the Luoyang family in order to plan for the future.
The Wei clan naturally has no ability to block the prestige of the ten permanent servants, and even if they want to find someone to help the Wei clan get ahead, they can't find it.
Yang Yi didn't think of doing this casually, after all, although she was acting majestic in front of the Ten Standing Servants now, the ministers in the court and the central government didn't know about it, or they were pretending to be stupid if they knew, Yang Yi needed to show her strength.
However, whether it was Wang Yun or Hedong Wei, it was as if nothing had happened, which disappointed Yang Yi too much, and after a few words of comfort, he let Zhang Rang come over.
Yang Yi returned to Zhao Zhong's mansion, which had been raided at this time, Zhang Rang had already prepared money, he was not richer than Zhao Zhong, and he spent a lot of money to fill this hole.
"Zhang Rang, you take 200,000 yuan and recruit two battalions in the forbidden army for the palace as guards.
The rest will be used to buy grain, carts, livestock, horses, and soldiers for the palace, and as for the quantity, you can do it! ”
Yang Yi didn't look at the account books anymore, he was too lazy to look at it, and now there was no such talent under his command, so he disposed of it at will, and if he felt that it was inappropriate, he would copy Zhang Rang's house.
……
Shao Bing returned to a safe place, and after pranayama, he found that there was a breakthrough again, gritted his teeth, he gave up the idea of discarding the yellow scarf and running away, after all, he found a martial arts road, and the battlefield was indeed the road to heaven for martial arts.
This unknown existence does not have those messy rewards and tasks, it seems that it is completely a platform for you to play freely, and how much income you can get from this platform, whether you are dead or alive, it depends on your own ability.
At dawn, after the pranayama was completed, Shao Bing caught up with the fleeing yellow turbans, most of the escapees had already dispersed, and the about two hundred yellow turbans that followed Shao Bing when they came out, Shao Bing looked at the traces, these people did not run around, but followed his arrangement and walked all the way to the east.
They were afraid that the Han army behind them would catch up, so they didn't stop along the way, and by the time Shao Bing caught up, the sky was already slightly bright.
When Shao Bing caught up with them, he found that in addition to the yellow turbans that had been killed behind him, there was another group of broken yellow turbans in the gathered team, but these yellow turbans did not escape from the camp he was in before, but fled from another direction, and finally gathered with them, in fact, there seemed to be some friction.
Before the Taiping Dao uprising, Zhang Jiao had already divided the believers in Qing, Xu, You, Hebei, Jing, Yang, Yan, Henan and other prefectures into 36 parties, with tens of thousands of people in Dafang and more than 10,000 people in Xiaofang.
After the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Uprising, the Yellow Turban coerced civilians from all over the country to participate, and the scale grew unprecedentedly, and its strength doubled, and soon expanded to hundreds of thousands, or even more than a million!
This can be seen from the end of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, because a more famous figure appeared later, that is, Zhang Yan, a black mountain thief, who claimed to have millions of people under him; In addition, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban started by Cao Cao is also known as one million.
Although the Yellow Turban Rebellion was a rebellion that occurred when the lower peasants were forced to the extreme, the damage caused by this turmoil had to be borne by themselves in the end.
At the beginning of the uprising, the Yellow Turban Army was still headed by the disciples taught by the great sage and good teacher, and each of the 36 parties set up a Qu Shuai, but after the uprising, the world responded, and many local bandits and horse thieves tied a yellow scarf on their heads, and they were also called the Yellow Turban Army.
Then, they began to blatantly raid villages, attack county seats, and rob wealthy clans in the name of the Yellow Turban Army.
The Yellow Turban Army has a very obvious drawback, that is, it does not have a complete command system, even Zhang Jiao, the great sage and good teacher they nominally worship as the co-master, is only able to command the Yellow Turban Army under his command.
More importantly, as a cultivator, a cultivator who gave Fu water to help the sick and went to the plague area to help the poor people, Zhang Jiao knew very little about politics and military affairs, and the political doctrine extended by the political doctrine of Taoism was the study of Huang Lao, and now it has evolved into the study of Lao Zhuang, and the system has not yet been completely formed, Zhang Jiao actually does not have much ability to govern the army and the people, not to mention, the emperor's study that he should have in this position.
He launched the Yellow Turban Rebellion on a massive scale, but he had no way to fully command the scattered Yellow Turban Canals.
In the beginning, with his high prestige and lofty personal ideals, the great sage and good teacher not only had a large number of followers among the lower class commoners, but also many gentry and wealthy families sold their family property and joined the clan!
This is almost impossible in such an era, and it can even be said that the Yellow Turban Rebellion began, and many people were completely affected by Zhang Jiao's personal charm!
But.
But I definitely didn't expect it.
Even the great sage and mentor Zhang Jiao and others did not expect one thing, that is, after the Yellow Turban Uprising, the response from all parts of Middle-earth directly led to a result!
That is, all the bandits, bandits, horse thieves, water bandits, and rebels in the Central Plains, after all wearing a yellow scarf, even if they joined the camp of the Yellow Turban Army, and then they began to rob homes and houses, attack local wealthy families, rob people's property, and even gather into gangs to directly attack the county seat, regardless of the gentry and rich people.
This directly led to the fact that the lower classes of the people also suffered greatly because of this, and those local wealthy families who were initially attracted by Zhang Jiao's personal prestige and charm and fled with their families also understood the harm of the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
Immediately afterwards, the Yellow Turban Army commanded by Zhang Jiao began to completely lose the support of the local tycoons! Even the prestige of the lower classes of the population is beginning to be gradually weakened!
The Yellow Turban Army is mixed, and after they capture the city, they plunder at will, even the commanders of all parties have no way to restrain it.
Even, if Zhang Jiao, as a cultivator, really had such and such taboos, then perhaps it could explain why he died of illness so early in the early days of the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
Zhang Jiao launched the Yellow Turban Rebellion, perhaps because he was in pursuit of opening up a peaceful and prosperous world, but he died indirectly because of him, and the number of people who died because of him was definitely more than a million, but this went against Zhang Jiao's original intention, and the deviation was too far!
The Yellow Turban Army that Shao Bing is encountering now is that some of the original bandits brought the Yellow Turban, and what these bandits who have broken up is now to surround the Yellow Turbans who followed Shao Bing and force them to hand over the food and sword equipment in their hands!
They were also defeated by the local tyrants and dispersed, but there were a lot more of them, these people were originally from a group of bandits who robbed houses and houses, and it was nothing for them to rob the equipment of the other Yellow Turban Army!
Even on the way to escape, their leader was already planning to return to the mountains to be his bandit.
In the early days of the Yellow Turban Uprising, the number of the Yellow Turbans was still dominated by the 36 parties divided by the great sage and good teacher Zhang Jiao, but at most there were more than 500,000 people, but after the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Uprising, the number of Yellow Turbans in various places directly skyrocketed to millions!
It may even be far beyond this number, where did the millions of yellow turbans come from?
Part of it is the lower-class people who are unbearable and struggling with poverty who have been coerced here, and the other part is the bandits and bandits that Shao Bing has met now.
These people are looting everywhere in the name of the Yellow Turban Army, often without any purpose, let alone any organization and discipline, they are like bandits crossing the border, killing innocents indiscriminately, robbing anyone's wealth, whether it is a rich official gentry, or an ordinary commoner, almost anyone may become their target. As a result, the entire Central Plains became their enemy, and the Yellow Turban Army weakened rapidly after the initial sweep!
The further back they went, the more mobs like this were pure bandits and bandits in the Yellow Turban Army, and the general trend of the defeat of the Yellow Turban Rebellion became more and more irreversible!
Shao Bing quietly lurked nearby, looking at the group of Yellow Turban thieves surrounding his people, these people are not the real Yellow Turban Army, because they are in the name of the Yellow Turban Army, but they are doing bandit-like burning, killing and looting, Shao Bing investigated a little, and found that their attribute titles are completely different from others.
Yellow Turban Thief (Shi Chang):
Attributes: Omitted
Although they also belong to the camp of the Yellow Turban Army, these Yellow Turban thieves are stronger than ordinary Yellow Turbans in terms of attributes, but they are not as good as those regular Yellow Turban Army, let alone Yellow Turban Warriors.
This is not surprising, these people used to be robbing bandits everywhere, and after the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Uprising, they suddenly changed their appearance and blended into the camp of the Yellow Turban Army, but they did not dare to attack the officers and soldiers of the Han Dynasty, only dared to rob those rich gentry everywhere, and it was the existence of these Yellow Turban thieves that turned the meaning of this Yellow Turban Uprising into a complete peasant rebellion!
The two sides are opposed.
There is a big difference between the Yellow Turban refugees, the Yellow Turban Army, and the Yellow Turban thieves.
That is, the Yellow Turban refugees were purely composed of the lower class of poor people, with low combat effectiveness and almost no equipment, and they were not willing to wait for death, so they responded to the call of the Yellow Turban Uprising to launch a rebellion.
Needless to say, the Yellow Turban Army is the disciples of the great sage and good teacher, and they are also in the regular thirty-six party formation, under the control of the commanders from all over the country, with better equipment, higher military literacy, and the purpose of overthrowing the rule of the Eastern Han Dynasty, they have the highest combat effectiveness, and some of them have been blessed by the great sage and good teacher Zhang Jiao after the blessing of the runic water, and the strength is a little stronger!
Yellow Turban Thieves, as the name suggests, are those bandits and bandits who plunder everywhere in the name of the Yellow Turban Army, and their purpose is purely to fish in troubled waters and take the opportunity to grab wealth.
These people's combat effectiveness is a little higher than that of the Yellow Turban refugees and the ordinary Yellow Turban Army, but they are not as elite as the Yellow Turban Army, and there are no Yellow Turban wrestlers among them, because they have not been recognized by the great sage and good teacher Zhang Jiao, and are included in the 36 party establishment, although these people are in the name of the Yellow Turban Army, they do not listen to Zhang Jiao's dispatch at all, and naturally there are no Yellow Turban wrestlers who have received the blessing of the Taiping Dao Heavenly Master Fu, and they have not been taught by the Yellow Turban Dao.
There are about more than 100 Yellow Turban refugees who followed Shao Bing at night, and there are about a few dozen ordinary Yellow Turban soldiers, more than ten elite people, and two Yellow Turban wrestlers.
So although the number of those yellow turban thieves is large, the two sides are still in a state of confrontation, and they have not really fought each other!
"That's their leader?" Shao Bing glanced at it, and made up his mind to give it a try, can't this one thief also have the strength of those historical generals?
This is not the era of the late Three Kingdoms, when the generals were a little gone.
He walked out directly, the stainless steel long sword in his hand was pulled out, his steps were steady and powerful, the blood stains on his body had dried up, and he looked murderous!
The Yellow Turban thieves who surrounded these subordinates, as soon as they saw his arrival, they knew that he was not in the same group as themselves, and several Yellow Turban thieves glanced at the stainless steel long sword in his hand, and saw that it was not ordinary, and there was a trace of greed on their faces, and three or five people walked out of the encirclement and surrounded Shao Bing.
And when Shao Bing appeared, there was a commotion in the surrounded Yellow Turbans, and several Yellow Turban elites who were rushing to the front with him at that time already had the intention of making a move at this time, but they were stopped by the two Yellow Turban wrestlers, and they had all seen Shao Bing's brave skills last night, and these bandits were not worried.
However, seeing those yellow turban thieves walking towards Shao Bing with bad intentions, the yellow turbans in the encirclement all drew their weapons and prepared for battle.
Now that the army has been defeated, the Shao soldiers who led them to fight a way out of the way are their leaders, and in the troubled times, martial arts are the first!
"Sonorous!"
The two sides approached to a distance of ten steps, Shao Bing didn't even mean to talk nonsense, he pounced directly, and the stainless steel long sword in his hand was a sharp slash down, cutting off a malicious yellow turban thief's weapon on the spot, and then cutting his collarbone more than an inch, and the sword in his hand had already cut off his head with a twist!
The faces of the outflanked bandits changed dramatically, and they were full of horror and wanted to retreat.
Shao Bing was unforgiving, and continued to rush forward, slashing horizontally, sideways, turning around, and killing all the remaining bandits in three or five clicks!
The blood gushing out of his feet flowed from his feet, and he didn't care to wipe the blood from his sword on the corpse on the ground, and then walked towards the terrified bandits.
He may not be the opponent of those famous generals in history at all, and a young general who is not famous in the Han army can easily defeat him, but these ordinary bandits will definitely not be his opponents!
His attributes at this time have increased again, after all, Nei Xi has made two breakthroughs in succession, and the martial arts he has learned are definitely able to suppress most of the enemies in terms of skills, for example, last night, before he broke through, he fought with the Han army, which is not much different in attributes, and few Han troops can survive him more than two moves!
