Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 833 Living is not easy (2)

  The Black Mountain Army is a Yellow Turban, and the Qingzhou Army is also a Yellow Turban, but now the Qingzhou Army is not completely in Qingzhou, but part of it has entered Yanzhou. After this part of Qingzhou entered Yanzhou, the yellow scarves rolled bigger and bigger. They brought many Yanzhou people who had been breached in counties and townships and swept up the big and small Wubao along the way. Turn to Dongping, break Kangfu again, and go straight to Jinxiang County.

  Yanzhou is inland, but it does not mean that there is no water source. In Dongpingguo County, there is a huge lake called Dayeze. Because of the wetland terrain, this area was inhabited by humans in ancient times. At that time, the Yandi tribe lived here. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius cried because of the "Xishhouhuolin" here.

  The northwest of Jinxiang is Dayozawa, the southwest is Changyi, the governor of Yanzhou, and the northwest of Dongpingguo County is Jibei Kingdom, and Bao Xin is the Prime Minister of Jibei Kingdom.

  At this time, Liu Dai, Yanzhou Inspector Liu Dai is now the chief executive of this region, and it is his duty to take charge of combat preparations against this group of Qingzhou Yellow Turbans. Liu Dai didn't know why the Yellow Turbans from Qingzhou went to Yanzhou, but he knew that if the Yellow Turbans from Qingzhou were not defeated or driven away, then Yanzhou would become the next Qingzhou...

  Jinxiang is very close to Changyi, the prefect of Yanzhou. When the Yellow Turban turned to the east, Liu Dai felt the cold blade of the Yellow Turban had reached his nose.

  In the Yamen of Changyi Prefecture, Liu Dai angrily slapped Bao Xin's letter on the table and said angrily, "It's just nonsense! It's unreasonable!"

   "Duke Ming calm down..." Yanzhou Biejia Wang Yu stepped forward and asked, "...I don't know what caused Duke Ming to be so angry?"

  Liu Dai closed his eyes, took a few breaths, and then handed the letter on the table to Wang Yu. Originally, he planned to transfer Cao Cao to fight against the Yellow Turban Bandits, but he didn't expect Cao Cao to turn around and go west, saying that he was following Yuan Cheqi's order. Liu Dai was also helpless. Just waiting for such a letter.

Wang Yu unfolded it and saw in the letter: "...there are millions of thieves today, the people are terrified, the soldiers have no fighting spirit, and they are invincible. Watching the thieves follow each other in groups, the army has no supplies, and only money is used for a little money. Fundamentals, it is not like the strength of a group of beasts and soldiers, first to defend firmly. If they want to fight but cannot attack, they will inevitably scatter, and then select the elite, according to their vital points, they can be broken..."

Liu Dai said in a deep voice: "Millions of ants? Why are there millions? There are more than 30,000 to 40,000 remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, and they are only carried along the way to the head of Guizhou. How many millions? The people are terrified? Why are they terrified? The county soldiers are retreating into the city, how can they not be afraid?"

The more Liu Dai spoke, the higher his voice became, and he became more and more passionate and angry: "... the ancestor of all yang is the position of the emperor. All officials who rule the people, according to the county code, are all yang and respected. As the chief. The government is in turmoil, Your Majesty is mourning, the country is newly separated, the Yellow Turban is poisonous, and the county guards are in the position of shepherds. As the elders of the county and country, they don't want to protect the strangers, so that the people can rest and support them, but they are full of troops. , stick to self-preservation, strive to pretend to be fraudulent, in order to hope for a false reputation! In the past, someone could kill Qiao Yuanwei, but today he can't kill Bao Yuncheng?"

  Wang Yu was silent.

  Jinbei Minister Bao Xin’s letter seems to be quite reasonable, and it seems to be for Liu Dai’s consideration, but in fact, everyone knows that this is just an excuse.

Let’s not talk about how many Qingzhou Yellow Turbans have flooded into Yanzhou, but at least it is certain that there are absolutely no millions, and there is only one suggestion Bao Xin put forward in his letter, which is to stick to the city and wait for Qingzhou Yellow Turbans to feed their troops. When it is exhausted, it will collapse naturally, and when the time comes, it can be broken by chasing it again...

If this letter was written by another county guard who has never led soldiers to fight, Liu Dai might not have been so angry, but Prime Minister Jibei was originally serving as a recruiter and trainer under General He Jin. Post, don't you know war?

  Ordinary soldiers run out of rations, of course they retreat back to their original counties for repairs, but what will the Yellow Turbans do if they have no rations? And is it true that the heads of these yellow turban thieves are all made of sand? Will he return to Qingzhou obediently when there is no food and grass? Does Qingzhou have food and grass?

  Are you kidding, the yellow turban thieves will only do one thing when they have no food and grass, and continue to plunder the surrounding counties!

  Then these looted county people had to become the people who were carried by the Yellow Turban bandits for food rations, and went to loot further townships and counties again!

  If this group of ant thieves are allowed to circulate in this way, the hinterland of Yanzhou will be completely destroyed, and there will be nothing left!

  Okay, even if it is a step back, these ant thieves will not plunder the county towns that are too far away, but there is still a big Nozawa here! Since ancient times, Onoze has been rich in fish and animals. If the Yellow Turban bandit soldiers really occupy Onoze and go fishing and hunting to replenish their rations, how long will they stick to the city according to Bao Xin's suggestion in the letter?

  If the yellow turban is not withdrawn for a day, it will be a day in the city?

  If you don’t withdraw for a month or a year, will you stick to it for a month and a 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 of the city to collect firewood. But what about the cultivated land outside the city? What about those hometowns around? Could it be that if spring plowing is not done this year, crops will naturally grow in the fields in autumn? If this year's spring plowing is harassed by yellow turbans and the autumn harvest is fruitless, how can the people of Yanzhou survive for a year and wait until next year to start eating?

Liu Dai originally ordered Jinbei Prime Minister Bao Xin to lead the troops to go south to attack the Yellow Turban of Qingzhou with himself, but he did not expect that he did not wait for the team of Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin, but waited for such a non-painful letter. 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 a little, most of them will not be able to resist, and then they will retreat. It can basically establish the victory.

Furthermore, the Yellow Turban Bandits no longer have the vigor of Zhang Jiao and the three brothers when they were alive, and now they are mostly carried by some desperadoes. They have neither appeal nor commanding power. But he didn't expect that Bao Xin, who thought he was still 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 thief, how can we resume farming?" Liu Dai walked up and down the hall of the mansion a few times, stood still and said to Wang Yu, "Don't drive but hold Dai's scepter and go to In Jibei, if Bao Yuncheng still doesn't send troops, you can cut off his sacrificial flag, seize his military power, and go south to meet with someone to destroy this ant thief in Dongping!"
