Chapter 359: The Yellow Turban Army Against the Heavens
The war in the interior is in full swing, but Liaodong is as stable as Mount Tai, and the Shang Ji has an elite army of one million, and they want to intervene in the war but cannot get it.
After escorting the captured Wu Ping to the Han Ting and reporting the good news of the total annihilation of the Liaodong Yellow Turban Army, the Han Ting's reaction was unexpectedly cold.
It stands to reason that now that the Yellow Turban Army is arrogant, and Shang Ji has achieved the only commendable victory, it should be widely praised to encourage morale and cohesion of the army.
However, Shang Ji only received some honorary rewards, and the actual official rights were not rewarded at all!
The root cause is the influence of the players!
There have been players shouting about the Yellow Turban Uprising, Zhang Jiao Rebellion, etc., but due to the system's blinding part of the perception, the aborigines wishfully regard it as a fart.
But now Zhang Jiao is really reversed, and Taiping Dao is really as strangers say, setting off wolf smoke everywhere in the Han Dynasty. It is only the aborigines who are partially blinded by perception and are not stupid by the system, of course, there will be some changes.
After all, the Han court here is not like in other games, it is just a background board that will wait for fate to come.
According to the Yellow Turban Uprising, the imperial court soon made changes.
First of all, the most obvious point is that after the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion in history, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty soon issued an edict to organize righteous armies in various places to suppress the Yellow Turban Army. However, this edict has not been issued for a long time.
According to the information revealed by Zhang Wen, this suggestion was made early in the morning, but it was vetoed by Liu Hong.
If it weren't for the imminent threat of the Yellow Turban Army, if it weren't for the fact that the Liaodong occupied by Shang Ji was too far away from the heart of the Han Dynasty, maybe the big axe raised by Luo Yang would have been cut on Shang Ji's head!
Even Zhang Wen had already vaguely explained to the representatives sent to Luoyang by Shang Ji that he would have less contact in the future, so as not to be implicated by Shang Ji. However, under Shang Ji's golden bullet offensive, Zhang Wen did not completely sever relations with Shang Ji in the end.
But the most uncomfortable thing now is not Shang Ji, but Dong Zhuo, who is far away in Hanoi County as a taishou!
Originally, this was the rising period of Dong Zhuo's career, and according to history, he would soon succeed Lu Zhi as the commander of the Han army in the north to fight against Zhang Jiao.
However, Dong Zhuo's life is not easy now, Liu Hong issued an edict, revoked all Dong Zhuo's official positions, and drove him back to his hometown directly.
If it weren't for the fact that the form really didn't allow it, Shang Ji even suspected that Liu Hong would directly end the future Three Kingdoms heroes with a hot brain.
Liu Hong's actions pushed the situation to a confusing position, and even Shang Ji couldn't see the possible situation in the future.
The Shang Ji, who was pressed in Liaodong and could not move, could only send spies to the three main battlefields (Jizhou, Yingchuan, and Nanyang) on the one hand to get the latest first-hand news as much as possible; On the other hand, stepping up the reorganization of armaments, whether it is to recruit the Yellow Turban Army or to deal with possible suppression by the imperial court, it will eventually need hard power support.
In the blink of an eye, a month has flown by.
In this month, he first helped Zhao Yun establish his exclusive special troops, the Silver Dragon Iron Cavalry, and then expanded the Black Armor Xuan Cavalry by 30,000, and at the same time, he also expanded Liu Yi's Star Glory Bow by 50,000, and other special troops were also expanded accordingly, and even the guards in various places were also greatly expanded under Shang Ji's instructions.
Fortunately, there was a lot of equipment in reserve, and there were many qualified reserve soldiers in the guards, otherwise the expansion of the war army might not have been successfully completed.
On the other hand, the direction of the war is once again freeing itself from the shackles of history and rushing in an unknown direction.
First of all, Cao Cao, who was given high hopes, tasted defeat on his first expedition.
Cao Cao and Huangfu Song fought together against Yingchuan's Bocai army, and Cao Cao personally assumed the position of vanguard.
However, the future hero is still too young after all, and he seriously lacks war experience, and he is still far from Cao Mengde, who is a master of the art of war in the east and west.
Bo Cai slightly showed the enemy a weak strategy, and then the young and vigorous Cao Cao fell into the plan, and attacked the Bocai army all the way, gradually moving away from the main force led by Huangfu Song.
After that, there was the routine of ambushes, and the 100,000 elite forward army led by Cao Cao was almost wiped out in a battle, and even he himself escaped and ascended to heaven by relying on the desperate protection of several clan brothers.
The morale of the Bocai army, which won the first battle, was greatly increased, and the main force of Huangfu Song was not to be outdone in the face of the pressure on them.
Relying on the Mandate of Heaven bonus and the advantage of troops, the Bocai army pressed and beat the Huangfu Song who came to encircle and suppress.
At this time in history, Huangfu Song used a lighter and burned down the Bocai army. However, in the beacon fire, Huangfu Song didn't have such a good opportunity. Bocai showed his might, and the army of Huangfu Song, who came to quell the rebellion, could only be defended by the city.
The situation in Yingchuan was not optimistic for the Han army, and the same was true in the other two places.
In Nanyang, Zhang Mancheng, the god of the Yellow Turban Army, was killed by Nanyang Taishou Qin Jie a few months later, and with Zhang Mancheng's death, the Nanyang Yellow Turban Army gradually came to an end.
However, history here has taken a big turn, Zhang Mancheng not only lived well, but even counterattacked and killed Qin Jie. Zhu Jun, who was responsible for encircling and suppressing the Nanyang Yellow Turban Army, had not yet arrived in Nanyang, but he met Zhang Mancheng, who led the army north.
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Jun was beaten by a large number of Yellow Turban troops and lost his armor, and had to lead the remnants to Yingchuan to join Huangfu Song.
However, immediately after Zhang Mancheng and Bo Cai also joined forces, the pressure on the Yingchuan Han army doubled, and the situation was dangerous for a while.
In Jizhou, Lu Zhi's situation is not much better.
Although Lu Zhi's army was larger in number and higher in quality, his opponents were also stronger. Zhang Jiao's three brothers are all in Jizhou, one SS-level historical general, two S-level historical generals, and a large number of A- and B-level yellow turban generals. In addition, Jizhou is also a state with the longest development time and the deepest civil foundation in Taiping Road, Lu Zhi fell into a disadvantage as soon as the war began, and was beaten by Zhang Jiao.
If it weren't for Lu Zhi's cautious character, I'm afraid the Jizhou Han Army would have been finished.
But even so, the situation of the Han army was still precarious. In history, it was Lu Zhi who surrounded Zhang Jiao in Guangzong and beat him violently, but now it is the opposite, Zhang Jiao led his troops to surround Lu Zhi in Handan and did not dare to go out of the city.
The commanders of the three main battlefields could only pull down their subordinates and frantically ask for help from Luoyang, and more than ten letters of support were sent out every day.
In the face of this letter of help, Emperor Han Ling was also as big as a fight.
What needs to be clear is that there are still a large number of elite troops in Luoyang that have not been put into the front line.
Lu Zhi and others took away a lot of the Northern Army, as well as a small number of Praetorian Guards. However, at present, there are still a large number of elite troops of the Northern Army left in Luoyang. As for the top-level Yulin Guard, the period gate army and other highest-level forbidden troops guarding the royal family, none of them are out of the customs.
Although there were still a large number of troops available, Liu Hong did not dare to send them out on a large scale.
Luoyang and the region also need a large number of troops to defend it, and there was Ma Yuanyi's attempt to start an incident in Luoyang before, if it wasn't for someone to tell the whistle in time, it's really hard to say what the specific result would be.
In this case, Emperor Ling of Han, who was afraid of death, of course did not dare to continue to draw out the troops of Luoyang and the surrounding areas. He must ensure the security of the Gyeonggi region before he can consider anything else.
However, it is not possible to send reinforcements, the situation in the three battlefields is precarious, if the Han army really fails, I am afraid that the Han is really in danger of annihilation.
Especially the Yingchuan yellow scarf. Yingchuan is not far from Luoyang, there is only a Xuanyuan Pass in the middle, and after Xuanyuan Pass (one of the eight passes of Luoyang), it is the boundary of Sili, and Luoyang is close at hand.
If the Yellow Turban Army really invaded Sili, then Liu Hongke would have to seriously consider the feasibility and necessity of moving the capital to Chang'an.
In addition, once Lu Zhi in the Jizhou battlefield is defeated, the consequences will also be serious. The liberated Zhang Jiao can lead the main force of the Yellow Turban to the south, and Bocai and Zhang Mancheng's troops will go north to form a pincer-shaped strategic encirclement of Luoyang, and I am afraid that it may not be easy to move the capital at that time.
