Chapter 200 The war without gunpowder
Chapter 199: A war without gunpowder
Looking at the people in the hall, a strange look flashed in Huang Chao''s eyes, and he continued to talk, saying, "Now, although my Yellow Turban sphere of influence has been reduced a lot compared to before attacking the aristocratic family, he no longer has to worry about food and grass. The army has been tempered and its combat power is stronger, and its overall strength is far better than in the past."
Everyone couldn''t help but nodded secretly when they heard this. Huang Chao said it was right. This time, the benefits of the Yellow Turban Army gained were indeed extraordinary.
He seized a large amount of food, gold and silver from the aristocratic families and made a huge fortune. This is one of them.
The improvement of the overall quality of the army has led to the rebirth of the army from the ashes.
"Report to great wise mentors."
After talking about the basic matters with the leaders, Huang Chao turned around and spoke to Zhang Jiao: "The weather is getting colder now, and our army lacks winter clothes, so it is no longer suitable to continue the war. The Han army also had a great morale because Qin Hao severely damaged the Huns and recovered the three counties. The loss of continued war was too great, so Huang Chao believed that the time for the decisive battle was set after the beginning of spring."
Zhang Jiao fell into deep thought when he heard this, but Hong Xiuquan smiled disdainfully and took the initiative to stand up.
"My Yellow Turban lacks winter clothes, not without winter clothes. Besides, with the current financial resources of our army, are you worried about not being able to get all winter clothes? The morale of the Han army was greatly boosted, but our army''s morale was strong. How could all such good opportunities stop? "
When the crowd of Qu coaches heard this, they couldn''t help but nodded secretly. What Hong Xiuquan said was indeed fine.
"Brother Huang Chao, why have you become timid after being defeated by Lu Zhi only once?" A hint of coldness flashed in Hong Xiuquan''s eyes, and he said sarcastically: "A real man must be able to take it and let it go!"
As soon as Hong Xiuquan finished speaking, the pro-war factions stood up and responded. Huang Chao proposed a decisive battle after the beginning of spring. That was five months later, and they couldn''t wait for so long.
A hint of anger flashed in Huang Chao''s eyes, and Hong Xiuquan sprinkled salt on his wound. How could Huang Chao not be angry?
But Huang Chao is Huang Chao, and it is not something that Hong Xiuquan can defeat in just a few words!
"Brother Xiuquan''s words are bad. It''s cold in winter. Even if the winter clothes are all in hand, the soldiers will only exert 80% of their combat power at most, which is not suitable for combat. Besides, our army attacks the Han army, and the eight passes of Luoyang are the world''s most powerful passes, which are easy to defend but difficult to attack. Brother Xiuquan, how many lives do you plan to attack?"
Huang Chao''s words are not insidious, that is, he cleverly countered Hong Xiuquan''s main attack fallacy, and in front of a kind of Qu Shuai and Zhang Jiao, he implicitly mocked Hong Xiuquan for not knowing how to cherish soldiers. If this is done, Hong Xiuquan will definitely decline his reputation.
"you…"
After hearing this, Hong Xiuquan''s expression changed drastically. While thinking about the rebuttal words he wanted to explain, Li Mi, who was on the other hand, took the initiative to rescue Hong Xiuquan.
"Didn''t General Huang Chao still know that the Han Dynasty has issued a news that it has recruited troops from all over the country to Luoyang? If the elite troops from all over the Han Dynasty have arrived in Luoyang by then, it will be even more difficult to attack the city. Isn''t this the last time for our army to capture the Eight Passes of Luoyang?"
A trace of tricky look flashed in Huang Chao''s eyes. The Li Mi family was born in both civil and military, but it was much more difficult to deal with than the charlatan Hong Xiuquan. But how could Li Mi stand on Hong Xiuquan''s side?
In fact, Li Mi was not directing Hong Xiuquan, he was just deliberately opposing Huang Chao.
Li Mi came from a family in Yanzhou, while Huang Chao slaughtered a family in Yanzhou. Although there was no Li Mi''s family among them, the family had always been in harmony.
Since he had already formed such a big hatred, Li Mi naturally didn''t want to watch Huang Chao successfully control the Yellow Turban Army.
As soon as Li Mi finished speaking, Wang Shichong, who was the aristocratic camp like him, also stood up, but the target of his aid was Huang Chao.
"Brother Li, what he said is not bad. The Han army is becoming stronger. Will our army''s combat power stagnate? Our Yellow Turban Army has always fought against the Han army with the simplest equipment. Now we finally have the capital to arm the entire army. Do we still have to let the soldiers fight with the Han army with wooden hoes?" Wang Shichong chose to help Huang Chao because after Qin Hao defeated and surrendered to the Yellow Turban, Huang Chao activated Wang Shichong.
Next, Wang Shichong made great achievements and finally achieved the position of Qu Shuai, so Wang Shichong was barely considered a member of Huang Chao.
What Wang Shichong said can also be said to be in the minds of the Qu generals. You should know that although the Yellow Turban troops are large, their equipment has always been extremely simple.
Most of the Yellow Turban Army only hold guns made of iron with gun tips. Only generals are qualified to be equipped with armor, and a small number of people even use wooden guns to fight. This is the biggest reason why the probability of the Yellow Turban casualties is so high.
Now that the Yellow Turban has finally stabilized, with such a large territory and having so much money from the aristocratic family, we can use this to fully arm ourselves to improve our overall combat power.
After all, it would be a bit unreasonable if the soldiers were allowed to use the most simple equipment to fight against the Han army.
Li Mi and Wang Shichong faced each other''s words, and every sentence was thorny, and needles were hidden in the cotton. Fang La saw that his senior brother Fang showed weakness, so he immediately stood up to support him, while Dou Jiande stood on Huang Chao''s side rationally.
Huang Chao and Hong Xiuquan both had their own opinions. They were arguing and quarreling endlessly. A good meeting turned out to be the battlefield for the two major factions of Huang Chao and Hong Xiuquan.
This is really a war without seeing the smoke of gunpowder.
The white-faced scholar standing behind Xiang Yu saw this scene and suddenly his eyes flashed, and then he leaned into Xiang Yu''s ear and started to speak softly.
"General, if you ask for your opinion later, you only need to... you can make the sense of the great wise mentor change greatly, and you will be impressed by the general!"
After hearing this, Xiang Yu''s eyes lit up. He patted the scholar on the shoulder and whispered: "Xiao Feng, you should pay more attention to it!"
In fact, this scholar was Guo Jia, who went to Xiang Yu thousands of miles after he parted with Qin Hao. The new identity fabricated by the Xuan family of Jinyiwei for Guo Jia was that Jia Guo’s name was Xiaofeng.
After parting with Qin Hao, Guo Jia, under the **** of Xuan Bu, finally arrived in Jiangdong without any danger and joined the men who were recruiting troops in Danyang while fighting against Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu had very few civilian talents under him. After personally testing Guo Jia, Xiang Yu also recognized Guo Jia''s ability, so he kept Guo Jia. Then with the help of Guo Jia, Xiang Yu won consecutive battles and finally made such a great contribution.
"Enough, how can it be so quarrel?"
Zhang Jiao shouted loudly. When everyone saw that Zhang Jiao was angry, they immediately kept silent.
"Yu''er, are you going to fight or prepare for war?" Zhang Jiao asked Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu stood up confidently and said calmly: "Xiang Yu believes that fighting and not fighting is the best strategy. Our army is currently..."
Zhang Jiao and Huang Chao both looked at Xiang Yu with a look of seeing ghosts. It was hard to believe that Xiang Yu actually had such a long-term vision and strategic view. It was really possible, just like what he said...
