Chapter 199 The waves gather together with heroes
Chapter 198: The great waves gather together with heroes
The first year of Zhongping, October.
After the imperial edict against the powerful families in the world recruiting troops on their own, the Han court made another move and issued an edict for the migration of refugees in the world, calling on the refugees in the world to go to the three northern counties.
As soon as this edict came out, the refugees in the world were in an uproar. The Han court, which had always ignored the refugees, was now concerned about the lives and deaths of ordinary people?
The court''s credit among the people was not good, otherwise it would not have caused trouble to rebel the world, and many refugees did not believe this at the beginning.
However, while the refugees were hesitating, they also knew that Qin Hao, the son of the prefect of Yanmen, indeed led his troops to recover the three central and northern counties that had fallen for nearly 20 years.
The Han Dynasty used this as a breakthrough point and under deliberate and vigorous publicity, Qin Hao became a famous young hero and the dream lover of countless girls.
Then the court used Qin Wen''s character as a guarantee, which finally attracted some people to the three counties.
After the refugee gates moved to the three counties were indeed distributed to the land, it also confirmed the fact that the three counties distributed land for free. One transmission was ten thousand and a hundred thousand, and countless refugees rushed to the three counties one after another.
The relocation edict has regained many people''s hearts among the common people. Many people who still have fantasies about the Han Dynasty were excited and burst into tears after learning that the three counties had indeed distributed land, shouting that long live our emperor and long live the Qin general.
Even some people in the Yellow Turban Army were shaken. After all, since their uprising, the people of the world have not only not benefited from it, but their lives have become even more difficult.
Of course, there are very few people in this group, and most of the Yellow Turbans are extremely firm.
Since you have already embarked on this opposite path, you can only go on a dark path and have no other choice.
Yanzhou, Chenliu.
After learning that nearly one million Yellow Turbans were about to arrive in Yanzhou, the Yanzhou family dared to resist more. They didn''t even dare to raise the conditions for surrender, and they all surrendered voluntarily.
After all, most of the soldiers of the Yanzhou family were taken to Hulao Pass by Cao Cao, and they no longer had the capital to resist.
However, the Yanzhou family thought too simply. The current situation is not something they can surrender just by wanting to surrender.
Because of the sniping of the Yanzhou family, Huang Chao was defeated by Lu Zhi and Cao Cao, and the identity of Huang Chao''s heir to the Yellow Turbans became shaky again.
Hong Xiuquan, Yangzhou, won smoothly, and Xiang Yan and Xiang Yu, defeated Yuzhou and most of Xuzhou. After Huang Chao was defeated, his achievements seemed a little insufficient.
So Huang Chao was so angry that he gritted his teeth for the Yanzhou family. How could he accept their surrender?
However, Huang Chao also understood that he could not force these aristocratic families into anger, otherwise it would be of no benefit to him if both jade and stone were burned.
So Huang Chao pretended to accept the surrender of the Yanzhou family. After completely accepting the fruits of victory, he immediately turned against others.
Nearly 100 families of all sizes were massacred, and only some of them escaped from Jingzhou and Xuzhou by luck. Most of the members of the Cao family''s Xiahou family were in Cao Cao''s army, and the rest also fled to Xuzhou early, so they survived.
Since this battle, the Yanzhou family has suffered heavy losses in strength, and the entire Yanzhou has completely become the sphere of influence of the Yellow Turbans.
After millions of troops entered Yanzhou, millions of civilians were transporting food and grass to Yanzhou day and night. Yanzhou has now become the grain warehouse of the Yellow Turban Army.
Chenliu is the prefecture and county closest to Sili in Yanzhou, so it should have become the base camp where the Yellow Turban Army gathered. At this time, Chenliu''s prefect''s mansion was a gathering of heroes. Huang Chao, Xiang Yan, Xiang Yu, Hong Xiuquan, Fang La, Li Zicheng, Li Mi, Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong, Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng, Fang Guosheng...
Except for Zhang Xianzhong who stayed in Jizhou and was not on the court, all the famous coach Qu and the leader of the rebel army among the Yellow Turbans have basically been present.
Such a huge talent lineup is simply incomparable to the Yellow Turban Army in history. So many heroes and heroes were now huddled under Zhang Jiao’s command and obeyed Zhang Jiao’s order.
The waves of the Yangtze River push the waves forward, and the waves die on the beach.
These anti-kings were all figures who leveraged the dynasty in the original history and were the elites of the times. When they came to the late Han Dynasty, they would naturally not be destroyed. The Yellow Turbans were the most suitable stage for them to perform.
The Yellow Turbans fought for more than half a year, and the waves washed away the sand. Most of the original Thirty-six-Platform Que was killed in battle. Most of their positions were replaced by the balanced anti-kings.
Looking at Zhang Ying''s vigorous faces in the hall, most of the old faces were missing, which made Zhang Jiao feel a little sad.
When will this war end?
Seeing that all the leaders had arrived, Zhang Jiao forced himself to suppress the sadness in his heart and said calmly: "It''s all here, let''s start."
Seeing Zhang Jiao say something, the major generals immediately did not dare to whisper again. They all listened to Zhang Jiao''s speech attentively, but Zhang Jiao nodded to Huang Chao. Huang Chao immediately stood up when he saw this.
"My Yellow Turban Revolt in March, fought for seven months and finally conquered half of the country. Now my Yellow Turban Army has the entire Yanzhou, most of Yuzhou and Qingzhou, and half of Jizhou and Yangzhou."
When the coaches heard this, they all smiled with relief. These territories were all captured by them with great effort, but Hong Xiuquan and Xiang Yu frowned.
Let Huang Chao read the results in public, and this is not obvious to think about inheriting his position! Huang Chao was defeated so badly in Yanzhou, do great wise men still value Huang Chao so much?
As soon as he thought of this, Hong Xiuquan and Xiang Yu couldn''t help but feel a little angry.
As Zhang Jiao''s eldest disciple, Hong Xiuquan won nearly half of Yangzhou alone without much support. This record is not much better than Huang Chao, and Xiang Yu is even more exaggerated.
He made half of his contribution to the capture of Yangzhou. His grandfather Xiang Yan conquered most of Yuzhou, and he himself conquered half of Xuzhou with the assistance of his adviser "Jia Guo".
Such a huge contribution, coupled with Xiang Yu and Zhang Jiao''s future son-in-law, isn''t he qualified to take over Zhang Jiao''s position and become the heir to the Yellow Turban Army?
Xiang Yu was dissatisfied.
Huang Chao naturally saw the expressions of the two, and he felt extremely proud in his heart.
Xiang Yu, so what if you are powerless and number one in the world? Just the courage of an ordinary man, a great wise and good teacher will not choose you. Only those with outstanding strategies can become leaders of the Yellow Turbans.
Although Hong Xiuquan is Zhang Jiao''s eldest disciple, Huang Chao cannot regard him as a competitor. In Huang Chao''s view, Hong Xiuquan only has some special views on religion and his ability is not too strong. If it weren''t for the help of Yang Xiuqing, Shi Dakai and others, Hong Xiuquan would not have made such a great contribution.
