Three Kingdoms

The Black Mountain Army is a Yellow Turban, and the Qingzhou Army is also a Yellow Turban. However, now the Qingzhou Army is not entirely in Qingzhou, but part of it has entered Yanzhou. After the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou entered Yanzhou, they grew bigger and bigger. They brought many Yanzhou people who had been conquered counties and villages along the way and swept through the big and small Wubao. They defeated Rencheng all the way and killed Zheng Sui, the Prime Minister of Rencheng. Turn into Dongping, defeat Kangfu again, and approach Jinxiang County.

Yanzhou is inland, but this does not mean that there is no water source. Within Dongping County, there is a huge lake land called Dayezawa. Because this area is a wetland, humans have been inhabited in ancient times. The Yandi tribe lived here at that time. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius once cried because he "hunted to the west to get Lin" here.

To the northwest of Jinxiang is Ohnoze, to the southwest is Changyi, the seat of Yanzhou, and to the northwest of Dongping County is Jibei Kingdom, and Bao Xin is the prime minister of Jibei Kingdom.

At this time, Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, Liu Dai, was now the first officer in this region. He had the unshirkable responsibility to take charge of the war preparations against this group of Qingzhou Yellow Turbans. Liu Dai didn't know why the Yellow Turbans from Qingzhou ran to Yanzhou, but he knew that if these Yellow Turbans from Qingzhou were not defeated or driven away, Yanzhou would become the next Qingzhou...

Jinxiang was very close to Changyi, the governor's seat in Yanzhou. When the Yellow Turban turned eastward, Liu Dai could already feel the cold blade of the Yellow Turban reaching under his nose.

In the Changyi government office, Liu Dai angrily slapped Bao Xin's letter on the table and said angrily: "This is nonsense! How can it be unreasonable!"

"Ming Gong, please calm down..." Yanzhou Biejiao Wang Yu saw this and stepped forward to ask, "... I wonder what caused Ming Gong to be so angry?"

Liu Dai closed his eyes, took a few breaths, and then handed the letter on the desk to Wang Yu. Originally, he was planning to transfer Cao Cao to defeat the Yellow Turban bandits, but he didn't expect that Cao Cao would turn around and go west. He said it was on Yuan Cheqi's order. Liu Dai was helpless. Now he didn't expect to transfer Bao Xin, but he couldn't. Just waiting for such a letter to come.

Wang Yu unfolded it and saw that the letter read: "...there are millions of thieves today, and the people are terrified. The soldiers have no fighting spirit and are invincible. The thieves are all following each other, and the army has no equipment, only money. It is a little resource, but now it is not as good as the strength of the beasts and warriors. First, we must defend it. If it wants to fight, it cannot be fought, but it cannot attack, and its force will be scattered. Later, we can select the elite and attack according to its vital points. It can be broken..."

Liu Dai said in a deep voice: "A million ant thieves? How can there be a million? There are more than 30,000 to 40,000 yellow scarf remnants in Qingzhou, just carrying parcels along the way to Guizhou. How many millions? Are the people afraid? Why are they afraid? Ant thieves are plundering the countryside. The county soldiers are huddled in the city, how can they not be frightened?"

The more Liu Dai spoke, the louder his voice got, and he became more and more passionate and angry: "...the yang is the sect of all the yangs, and the king is the king. Anyone who is an official and governs the people, according to the counties and counties, is yang. Respect is the elder. At present, the country is in turmoil. Your Majesty is in mourning. There are new departures in the country. The Yellow Turbans are poisonous. The governors of each county are serving as shepherds. As the chief of the county and country, they do not want to protect the strangers so that the people can rest and be nourished. However, They are resorting to military force, insisting on self-protection, trying to be false, and hoping for a false reputation! In the past, someone could kill Qiao Yuanwei, but today he cannot kill Bao Yuncheng, right?"

Wang Yu was silent.

What Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin said in his letter seemed quite reasonable and seemed to be for Liu Dai's consideration, but in fact everyone knew that this was just a shirk.

Let’s not talk about how many Qingzhou Yellow Turbans poured into Yanzhou, but at least it is certain that there are definitely not millions, and there is only one suggestion that Bao Xin put forward in the letter, which is to stick to the city and wait for the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans to ration their troops. Once exhausted, they will collapse naturally, and then they can be defeated by pursuing them again...

If this letter had been written by another county governor who had never led troops to fight in a war, Liu Dai might not have been so angry, but the Prime Minister of Jibei was originally responsible for recruiting and training soldiers under General He Jin. Position, don’t you know how to fight?

Ordinary soldiers have no rations, so of course they have to retreat back to their original counties to repair, but what will the Yellow Turban thieves do if they have no rations? And are the heads of these Yellow Turban thieves really made of sand? Will he obediently return to Qingzhou when there is no food and grass? Does Qingzhou have food and grass?

What a joke, the Yellow Turban thieves will only do one thing when they have no food and grass, and continue to rob surrounding counties!

Then these plundered county people had to become the people carried by the Yellow Turban thieves to loot further villages and counties for food rations!

If this group of ant thieves is allowed to circulate like this, the hinterland of Yanzhou will be completely destroyed, and nothing will be left!

Well, even if we take a step back, these ant thieves will not rob counties too far away, but there is still Ohnozawa here! Since ancient times, Onoze has been rich in fish and beasts. If the Yellow Turban bandits really occupied Onoze and fished and hunted to replenish their supplies, how long would they have to hold on to the city according to Bao Xin's suggestion in the letter?

If the Yellow Turbans don't retreat for a day, will the city remain guarded for a day?

If we don’t retreat for one month or one year, how can we stick to one month for one year?

Okay, let’s take a step back and say that the city can be defended, and the people in the city can be self-sufficient without having to go out to collect firewood. But what about the cultivated land outside the city? What about the families around me? Is it possible that if we don’t do this year’s spring plowing, crops will naturally grow in the fields in the fall? If this year's spring plowing is interrupted by the Yellow Turbans and the autumn harvest is fruitless, how can the people of Yanzhou survive one year and wait until next year to eat?

Liu Dai originally ordered Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin to lead his troops south to attack the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans with him. Unexpectedly, instead of waiting for Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin's troops, Liu Dai received such a painless letter. How could he call him Isn't Liu Dai angry?

Normally speaking, most of the Yellow Turban thieves have never been in a real battle, and most of them are ordinary people. Therefore, as long as they are attacked slightly, they will probably be unable to resist, and then they will be defeated. Then they will continue to drive away the defeated Yellow Turban thieves. This can basically establish a victory.

Furthermore, the Yellow Turban thieves no longer have the vigor they had when the three Zhang Jiao brothers were still alive. Most of them are now carried by desperadoes. They have neither charisma nor much commanding power, so they are not a concern at all. But Liu Dai But he didn't expect that Bao Xin, who originally thought he was brave enough to take on the task, turned out to be timid at this critical moment.

"Now that the time has come, if we don't defeat the ant thieves, how can we resume farming?" Liu Dai walked back and forth several times in the government office lobby, stood still and said to Wang Yu, "If you don't drive, you can hold Dai's staff and go there. In the north of Jibei, if Bao Yuncheng still does not send troops, we can cut down his sacrificial flag, seize his military power, go south to meet with someone, and destroy this ant bandit in Dongping!"
