Chapter 1142? Yi Yin's loyalty reappears
In Jizhou, with Lu Zhi in the south, Dong Zhuo in the west, and Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei in the north, the Yellow Turban Army was surrounded and suppressed by the imperial court.
Unlike Jizhou, the Taiping Road in Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Jingzhou and other prefectures and counties is still expanding. However, there is no decent government resistance at all. The big gentry and wealthy families even close the doors of their mansions and protect themselves wisely.
This also led to the expansion of the Yellow Turban Army reaching its peak, and the number of garrison defenders in many cities occupied by the Yellow Turban Army reached more than 100,000 and 200,000.
This greatly increased the difficulty of annihilating Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song who went south.
And this is not the most difficult challenge for them to challenge the Yellow Turban Army. The soldiers and horses Liu Hong gave them were not comparable to Lu Zhi at all, only 400,000 elite soldiers each.
Among them, 200,000 are the elite of the Yueqi Corps, and 200,000 are the weapon siege troops of the Changshui Corps.
There is no comparison with Lu Zhi in the north.
As for the Yellow Turban Army in Yanzhou, Yuzhou and Jingzhou, the total number is at least more than five million. If these 800,000 people are really used to fight head-on, it will basically be the end of an egg against a rock.
However, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun are not weak alone. They have a huge hidden help, which is the noble families of the three states.
There are many great noble families in these three states, and the six levels of great noble families in China are gathered in these three states.
If the so-called peasant generals under their command gathered together, their number would be terrifying.
With the idea of inciting local nobles to resist the Yellow Turban Army, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun continued to send messengers to lobby those foxes.
In this way, the time for Huangfu and Song to enter the three states was greatly delayed. Lu Zhi led his troops to eradicate all Sili's Yellow Turban Army, and even broke through Fanyang City, the fortress of Jizhou, and entered Jizhou.
I heard that His Majesty the Emperor has already rewarded Lu Zhi once. And both of them are still contacting reinforcements.
There is no other way. If this were not the case, they might not even be able to break out of Wancheng.
In the military camp in Wancheng, Huangfu Song looked at the people in front of him with a gloomy expression.
"Is this your condition? Humph! Now that the country is in crisis, if you continue to be so selfish, when the Yellow Turban Army goes crazy, it will definitely break your bones!" Huangfu Song yelled angrily.
But deep in his eyes, there was a hint of helplessness.
"General Huangfu Zhonglang, most of the cities occupied by the Yellow Turban Army are occupied by people from our major families. As long as we move, many cities will be in our pockets. Who doesn't want such credit? I just let the clan members It’s just for me to enjoy the emperor’s favor, it’s not too much!” An old man smoothed his horn beard and said calmly.
The old man looked like he was destined to eat you Huangfu Song.
"Military merits can be separated, but trophies and prisoners cannot be separated. This is the principle! You destroyed the Yellow Turban Army in order to have a stable environment, which is also beneficial to the development of your family. If you continue to be anxious like this, you will become the Yellow Turban Army The morale of the army has changed, and it will be in danger for you to distribute your mansions in various cities." Huangfu Song said forcefully.
These vampires actually want to take advantage of the Yellow Turban Rebellion to seek benefits for all people in the world. It's really abominable!
If you want to encourage these old fox families to fight against the Yellow Turban Army, you still have to go a long way!
However, if you really can't reach an agreement, then use the next best option!
Huangfusong's dark eyes showed a murderous look, and his whole popularity suddenly changed.
His so-called next strategy was to let his soldiers pretend to be the Yellow Turban Army to coerce the people, use their influence to fan the flames, and stimulate the greed of the Yellow Turban Army in Jingzhou.
For this strategy, he even planned how to display the trophies and how to move the fan to the south.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion has been going on for several months, and the hearts of those farmers at the bottom have actually changed. They were eager to have food and clothing before. But after the uprising, they not only had good food and drink, but also had plenty of fish and meat, and even had a stable city to garrison in.
.So, after they have solved the problem of food and clothing, what they pursue changes.
When you get what you want, you will get more. This change is subtle.
Although Huangfu Song is not as powerful as Lu Zhi, he still has some tricks to check people's hearts. During this time, he was in Wancheng. In addition to contacting the nobles in various cities, he also continued to collect changes in the Yellow Turban soldiers in Nanyang.
This is also the reason why he dared to make that decision. As for the suffering of the people, in his opinion, it was only temporary!
After discussing for a while, everyone dispersed again.
Looking at the gentry representatives walking away laughing and joking, Huangfu Song narrowed his eyes slightly.
"General, why don't I intercept and kill a few of them on the way, and then put the blame on the Yellow Turban Army. Especially that guy from the Cai family, he is too arrogant." A general stood up and shouted.
"Although Cai He is arrogant, it's just because the Cai family is powerful in Jingzhou. If he goes to Luoyang, the capital of the gods, and is so arrogant, he will have his head chopped off." Another general said angrily.
"If you want to kill, it's better to kill them all!" Huangfu Song said angrily.
"However, this is the last resort." Huangfu Song changed his tone again: "Forget it, I won't worry about these villains anymore."
"Have you found the mysterious force that defended Wancheng?" Huangfu Song turned around and asked.
"Not yet. After handing Wancheng over to us, they left the city and headed south. There was no trace of them. They did not attack the city of Nanyang. They seemed to have disappeared."
"I heard from the leader that they were Zhou Tai's troops under the command of General Fubo Lin Mu, but I always feel that something is wrong." Huangfu Song murmured.
"Why does the general feel something is wrong? It seems that the general has never seen those people, right?" The man who claimed to be Zhou Tai informed them and then evacuated, without having any interaction with them at all.
"Forget it... They are probably a hidden force when they go south. If the so-called Zhou Tai is a smart commander, he will definitely give Zhang Mancheng of Jingzhou a fatal blow!" Huangfu Song said solemnly.
In fact, he had a vague feeling that something was wrong with that army. Even if he didn't see it face to face, looking at it from a distance, he still felt something was wrong. Because the energy of those people always had a hint of energy similar to that of the Yellow Turban Army.
The Yellow Turban Army defended Wancheng, defeated the Yellow Turban Army, and then handed Wancheng over to the government... It felt really strange.
He could vaguely feel that a huge invisible net was covering the Yellow Turban Army in various counties in Jingzhou.
Even their officers and soldiers were among them.
"Yes, if Zhang Mancheng can be killed, the Jingzhou Yellow Turban Army will definitely collapse. At that time, even if all the credit for Zhang Mancheng goes to Lin Mu, it will be fine."
"Of course! General Lin Mu spent all his money to recruit soldiers to attack the Yellow Turban Army and defend the Wancheng Fortress. He just did it silently. He left it to me and then continued to fight. He is also a man of righteousness."
Huangfu Song's subordinates seemed to have very good feelings about Lin Mu.
While Huangfu Song and the soldiers were discussing Zhou Tai's troops, a fierce battle was taking place in Xinye City in Nanyang.
The two figures, who were not burly, were constantly fighting.
"Who are you? Are you the Zhang Mancheng?" a figure shouted and asked.
The figure on the opposite side didn't know what was going on, but suddenly burst into a roar: "I am Zhang Huozhu."
"This is Taiping Dao Military Advisor! Le Jin Le Wenqian, you cannot leave Xinye City today!"
"Admiral Military Advisor?! Zhang Huozhu?! I've never heard of it. He's just a nobody! Take my shot!!" The figure roared angrily.
The two guys fighting were clearly Le Jin and Zhang Huozhu.
As for why the two met here, only they themselves know.
"What a trick! Let's fight!!" Zhang Huozhu was a counselor, but at this moment he actually held a big sword and started fighting Le Jin with all his might.
The two actually fought evenly.
The majestic waves of air continued to sweep away, causing everyone around to watch this rare battle with bated breath.
"Dang Dang!!!" The two figures passed each other, and the harsh clang echoed over the city.
"That's right! He is indeed a subordinate divine general with extraordinary combat power!" After fighting for a while, Zhang Huozhu suddenly laughed.
However, as soon as these words came out, Le Jin's face changed drastically: "How do you know?!"
"Humph! My military advisor, Nai Wenquxing, descended to earth, so of course he can figure it out!" Zhang Huozhu said with a calm smile.
"Moreover, I also know that you can return to the position of subordinate divine general again today!" Zhang Huozhu's breath suddenly changed, and his whole person seemed to be more fierce.
Then, under Le Jin's horrified gaze, Zhang Huozhu took out a simple and mysterious tortoise shell.
The tortoise shell, which was covered with white fluorescence, was held by Zhang Huozhu in his left hand, and he held a broadsword in his right hand.
"Boom!!!" The horrified Le Jin did not stop and kept attacking. Zhang Huozhu also kept using his sword to resist.
Le Jin wanted Zhang Huozhu to have no time to use the turtle shell.
However, Zhang Huozhu's combat power seemed to be superior to Le Jin's, and he could even withstand Le Jin's ferocious attack with one hand.
With a hard squeeze, there was a click, and the tortoise shell shattered. Immediately, a strange white light emerged from the tortoise shell. After a while, it rolled and suddenly turned into a streak of white lightning, shooting towards Le Jin.
This white lightning, as if it had a soul, identified Le Jin, and even if he kept wandering around, he was still hit.
Le Jin, who was hit, did not vomit blood and was safe and sound.
"[Yi Yin's loyalty]!" The moment Zhang Huozhu crushed the tortoise shell, an exclamation sounded.
And this exclamation came from the mouth of a burly general.
Chapter completed!
