Chapter 183: Big changes in the Yellow Turban strategy
Yuan Feng frowned slightly and understood what Yuan Wei meant. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were both his sons. Naturally, no one knew his son better than him.
Yuan Shu, the second son, was frivolous and impetuous. He really didn't look like an emperor at all. However, Yuan Shao, the eldest son of the concubine, was much better than Yuan Shu.
But the stars will not lie. Although the heavenly secrets are now in chaos and no trace of the heavenly secrets can be seen from the stars anymore, the stars did show that Yuan Shao was the overlord star and Yuan Shu was the emperor star.
“Should we tilt the family resources towards Benchu?” Yuan Wei suggested: “After all, the overlord of Benchu also represents my Yuan family.”
"Hmm." Yuan Feng also lacked confidence in Yuan Shu. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded and said: "After suppressing the Yellow Turbans this time, I will arrange for Ben Chu to be adopted as his disciple."
The Yuan family is the first aristocratic family in the Han Dynasty, but there are also other factions within the Yuan family.
The Yuan family clan belongs to the Yuan family lineage in Runan, and the largest branch is the Yuan Cheng lineage in Jizhou Bohai. However, Yuan Cheng has no children in his life. If the eldest son of the concubine of the head of the clan family is adopted as his son, Yuan Cheng will become his son. Definitely very happy.
“The head of the family is of high righteousness.” Yuan Wei bowed respectfully to Yuan Feng.
The head of the family sacrificed too much for the sake of the family. His favorite son even took the initiative to push him away!
…
Wang Yun’s residence.
Although the danger of annexing the state has been resolved and a great victory was won, there is no joy at all on Wang Yun's face.
“Senior Brother Zi, what’s wrong with you? Why do you seem unhappy?” Cai Yong asked curiously.
"I can understand that Your Majesty named Qin Hao the title of Champion Marquis. The title of Champion Marquis has a special meaning for me, a big man. Now that the war front is sluggish, having a Champion Marquis at this time can boost the morale of the soldiers." Wang Yun He furrowed his brows and said, "But His Majesty conferred Qin Wen the title of Marquis of Jinyang, so I can't see through it."
"Yes, I can't understand your Majesty's move. Jinyang is the seat of Bingzhou, but the governor of Bingzhou is Ding Jianyang!" Cai Yong asked doubtfully: "Is it possible that Your Majesty is dissatisfied with Master Ding and wants Qin Wen to replace him?" He became the governor of Bingzhou?"
"That shouldn't be the case. Ding Jianyang has no party affiliation and is loyal to the Han Dynasty. Your Majesty has no reason to be dissatisfied!"
Ding was originally an old friend of Wang Yun, and Qin Wen and Wang Yun also had a good personal relationship, so Wang Yun did not want the two to fall out because of this kind of thing.
“Maybe we’re just overthinking it!” Cai Yong comforted.
“I hope so!” Wang Yunqiang smiled.
…
Jizhou, Julu County, Guangzong County.
Under the offensive led by Zhang Jiao personally, most of the three counties and six feudal states in Jizhou, including Julu, Qinghe, Anping, Zhao, Changshan, and Zhongshan, had fallen, leaving only Weijun, Bohai and Dai. The land of the three counties is still completely in the hands of the Han army.
Nowadays, the small Guangzong County has become a battlefield where the Han army and Jin Dynasty confront each other. Huangfu Song led an army of one hundred thousand (50,000 elites, 30,000 reinforcements and 20,000 new conscripts) and nailed it here like a nail. They blocked Zhang Jue's 300,000-strong army.
Yellow Turban Army, large camp.
Zhang Jiaoduan sat on the main seat, looking coldly at Fang Fangla, Zhang Xianzhong and others who were kneeling below. His fingers gently tapped the seat, and each tap was like a war drum that struck the hearts of the people below. .
"It doesn't matter that the 130,000-strong army couldn't capture a small Dai County, but the whole army was wiped out in less than a month. Fang La, you really make me proud!" Zhang Jiao said softly, although his tone was calm, But once people hear it, they can tell the anger in Zhang Jiao's heart.
Zhang Jiao did not blame Zhang Xianzhong. Zhang Xianzhong was the leader of the rebel army who defected to the Yellow Turban Army after the uprising. The army he led was also the team he had originally developed. Therefore, Zhang Jiao could not blame him too much. However, Fang La was Zhang Jiao's most trusted disciple.
The 80,000 soldiers and horses that Fang La brought out this time were not ordinary Yellow Turbans, but the elite of the Yellow Turbans. If Fang La could capture Daijun this time, he could complete his strategy and fight out from the rear of Jizhou to attack Huangfu from both front and rear. Song, Jizhou was conquered in the first battle. In order to achieve this strategy of attacking from both front and back, Zhang Jiao even transferred Zhang Xianzhong's troops from Youzhou, just to ensure that Fang La could capture Daijun.
But in the end, God's calculations failed, and the 130,000 Yellow Turban army was defeated by the 30,000 Yanmen Army led by Qin Wen.
After hearing what Zhang Jiao said, Fang La lowered his head in shame and did not defend himself.
In this battle, Fang La worked hard and racked his brains in order to win, and even did not hesitate to unite with the Huns, but he was defeated in the end, so he was convinced of the defeat and had nothing to defend.
“This battle was defeated at the hands of Qin Wen. This disciple is convinced of the defeat and asks the master to punish him.”
Everyone in the hall was shocked when they saw that Fang La could not defend himself and looked like he was begging for death. They hurriedly prepared to plead for him, but before they could speak, Zhang Jiao burst into laughter.
"Okay, okay!" Zhang Jiao looked at Fang La with a satisfied look on his face and said seriously: "Only this person is worthy of being my disciple of Zhang Jiao. You must win with openness and integrity, and lose with full sincerity."
Zhang Jiao walked down slowly and helped Fang La up. Fang La was stunned. He didn't expect that the master didn't blame him at all, and his heart suddenly felt warm.
They, the brothers, worshiped Zhang Jiao as their disciple, and they all had their own goals and ambitions in their hearts, but Zhang Jiao treated them with all his heart and soul without hiding anything, just like a father. When he thought of this, Fang La felt filled with guilt.
“Disciple is wrong!” Fang La knelt down heavily and said regretfully, “I have embarrassed my master!”
“Do you know where you went wrong this time?” Zhang Jiao asked seriously.
“My disciple’s mistake was that he should not have united with the Xiongnu and sought skin from the tiger, which almost caused a catastrophe!”
"That's right, La'er, and all your senior brothers, please remember that no matter who wins or loses in the end between me, the Yellow Turban and the Baohan, it is only an internal matter within China and must not involve foreigners." Zhang Jiaohumu. After sweeping around everyone, he shouted: "If someone colludes behind the scenes from now on, I will never let him go."
“Disciples, please obey the teachings!” Fang La and other Zhang Jiao’s disciples responded together.
"It's not your fault for this defeat. Sheng'er wrote in the battle report to Weishi that the Yanmen Army is far superior to our army in terms of equipment and training. Weishi underestimated the strength of Yanmen County and also underestimated the Qin Dynasty. temperature."
“Master…”
Fang La became anxious when he saw that his master was actually trying to take all the blame for himself. He was about to defend himself, but was interrupted by Zhang Jiao who raised his hand.
“Victory and defeat are common matters for military strategists. In less than a year since the Yellow Turban Uprising, we have already captured half of the country. We can still afford to lose one or two battles.”
“Master…”
Fang La's cheeks shed two tears of emotion.
Zhang Jiao nodded with satisfaction, and then said to his left and right: "I am sending an order to Zhang Liang of Youzhou to stop the attack, give up all the results, and lead an army of 150,000 to retreat to Jizhou."
“I sent an order to Zhang Bao of Qingzhou. The situation in Qingzhou changed from offensive to defensive. Zhang Bao led an army of 150,000 to Jizhou.”
"I sent an order to Xiang Yan in Yuzhou. The battle situation in Yuzhou changed from offensive to defensive. Xiang Yan led an army of 150,000 to Yanzhou."
“An order was sent to Yangzhou Hong Xiuquan. The battle situation in Yangzhou changed from offensive to defensive. Hong Xiuquan led a main force of 150,000 people to Yanzhou.”

【The Yellow Turban Chapter is coming, and the biggest climax of this book is also coming. It is absolutely explosive and magnificent! I would like to recommend the work of my friend Pisces Tail, "Three Kingdoms: Chinese Heroes", a very wrong summoning style Three Kingdoms novel. 】
