The eighth day of June.

Zhang Liang gathered 50,000 of his elite troops to swear an oath in Pingyang County, and convicted Han King Chen Sheng of the three major crimes of "disrespecting Heaven, disobeying the ancestors, and disrespecting Tao". He labeled the Han court as a "monster" and formally established the Han Dynasty as a general of Taiping Dao.

Declare war on Chen Sheng and call on the Yellow Turban Taoist disciples all over the world to "work together to defeat the evil man"!

It has only been half a month since Meng Tian invaded Xuzhou, and Taipingdao has just now declared war on the Han Dynasty. This may seem a bit stupid.

But in fact, far from being stupid, this is actually a very powerful psychological tactic!

The quality of the people is as high as it is in the 21st century, but there are still many people who still embrace the "simple" concept of "whoever has the loudest voice is right", "whoever posts first is right", and "whoever posts the video first is right"

A terrible mentality?

What's more, in the current feudal era where the people are not enlightened and lack the ability to distinguish, three people become tigers and one person speaks for money. I don't know how many people will be affected by the general proclamation of Taipingdao.

Going a long way, this will affect Chen Sheng's image in the minds of the Kyushu people, continue to slow down the development of Hanting, and weaken the development potential of Hanting.

To put it more closely, this can boost the morale of the Yellow Turban Army, weaken the morale of the Red Army, and may even affect the outcome of this war!

Not very clever.

But very useful!

And it works every time!

at the same time.

This also means that there is a complete rift between Taiping Dao and the Han Dynasty!

Yes, reaching this point really means that Taiping Dao and Han Ting have completely broken up with each other.

It doesn't even count if Meng Tian breaks into Xuzhou.

After all, Meng Tian's entry into Xuzhou still needs to be discussed.

However, there was no way to take back the message that Zhang Liang published.

It's like a fight between adults.

Even if you suffer a secret loss, even if you are angry, you will usually not get into a fight.

But whoever dares to give someone a big mouth in public, but a somewhat bloody man, will fight back immediately no matter whether he can be beaten or not!

This is the case for intrigues between people, let alone intrigues between two major forces?

Zhang Liang's statement was like a big mouth slapped in Chen Sheng's face.

As the face of the Han court, Chen Sheng's face... cannot be beaten!

After he was hit in the face, the swords and guns of the red army were no longer sharp, and the waists of the five to six million Han court people could no longer straighten up!

Therefore, Zhang Liang's letter has only two solutions.

Either the Han Dynasty will fight to the peace and give in.

Or Taiping Road beat Han Ting to the point of giving in.

There is no third way to go.

This is the case in Chen Sheng's eyes.

The same is true in Zhang Liang's eyes.

…

After Chen Sheng learned of the message issued by Zhang Liang, he mobilized the remaining 15,000 soldiers of the Central Route Army to go north that day and merged them into the command of Fan Zeng, the commander of the North Route Army, to face Zhang Liang.

The Northern Route Army originally had 30,000 soldiers and horses, and adding the 15,000 soldiers of the Central Route Army, there were 45,000 men.

Although in terms of strength, the Northern Route Army still lacked Zhang Liang by 5,000 men.

But if Fan Zeng is on the defensive and only hopes to be undefeated but not to win, it will not be difficult to stop Zhang Liang's troops from going south, even if the Julu Yellow Turban Army led by Zhang Liang is the most elite army on the Taiping Road!

It is said that things in the world are wonderful.

Fan Zeng and Zhang Liang, as the two masterminds of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang in another time and space, are at odds with each other in the field of strategy. Fire and water do not coexist!

But in this time and space, these old enemies met again by mistake, but as generals, they directly put on armor and faced off on the battlefield!

After the remaining fifteen thousand soldiers under his command were merged into the North Route Army, the Central Route Army camp was also completely dismantled.

With his hands free, Chen Sheng rushed back to Chen County overnight and invited Li Zhong to discuss the matter for half a night.

The next day, the Han court also posted a proclamation against Taiping Dao, which also listed the three major crimes of Taiping Dao: "preaching evil words to confuse the public", "rogue bandits poisoning the nine provinces", and "taking people to breed wild beasts"!

Afterwards, the Political Department and the Qianji Tower were fully engaged, and countless nursery rhymes, jingles, and short compositions were spread outwards with Chen County as the center.

For example, "My family lives on the edge of the city of Changyi. We have a house and fields at home, and our life is full of joy. Who would have thought that the Yellow Turban Soldiers were arrogant and ruthless, armed with guns and weapons, and occupied my big house and my fields. My grandfather and him

I turned against him, but he shot me down. My grandma scolded him for bullying the good people, but he was arrested and sent to the state capital a hundred times..."

Such as "When the yellow sky rings, the son will be raised in vain", "When the yellow scarf is worn, the parents are not there".

Such as "The years I preached on Taiping Road", "The unforgettable fate between Zhang's father and son and wild beasts".

These copywritings compiled by Chen Sheng himself, every time they spread to a place, they quickly swept through all classes in the place in a very short period of time and spread throughout the streets and alleys.

Regardless of whether you are literate or illiterate, rich or poor, concerned about world affairs or not, you can find interesting content from these texts and start discussions with relish.

Later, it evolved into countless unrecognizable and strange versions. It was extremely easy to defeat Zhang Liang's dirty water on Chen Sheng and counterattack the Julu Taiping Road headquarters!

But Chen Sheng, the instigator, after finishing compiling these copies that night, he put this insignificant matter behind him, went home and spent a comfortable night with Zhao Qing, and hurried off early the next morning.

I went to the camp of the First Army of the Red Army in Yingchuan to hold a military meeting, and I didn’t even bother to ask about the follow-up to this little matter...

Public opinion war?

Chen Sheng is really not targeting anyone, anyway, all of Jiuzhou are younger brothers!

June eighteenth.

The First Army of the Red Army swore an oath of surrender in Xuchang, divided into three groups, and rushed to their respective positions.

Along the way, Chen Sheng led the general, Ji Bu was the second general, and Chen Ying was the deputy general. They were under the jurisdiction of the fifth and sixth divisions. They marched eastward to Chenliu and built a defensive line to meet the 300,000 forbidden troops led by Wang Jian.

Along the way, Chen Shou served as the commander-in-chief and Chen Qi as the deputy-general, commanding the troops of their first and third divisions. They rushed south to Anchang to build a defense line to defend against Jingzhou Bolang Army and Yangzhou Liu Jijun's raid to the south of the Han Dynasty.

Along the way, Li Xin served as the commander-in-chief and Chen Dao as the deputy general, commanding the troops of their second and fourth divisions. They marched north to attack Sizhou. There was no clear combat mission along the way. Chen Sheng's order to Li Xin was to let him use his natural instincts.

They saw that Luoyi was attacking randomly, forcing Wang Jian to return reinforcements or divide his troops, and the role of Chen Dao gave Li Xin a layer of insurance to ensure that he would not get away with it!

It is worth mentioning that 50,000 of the 150,000 field troops dispersed in various counties have already gathered in Chenliu, and their armor and equipment are also secretly being transported to Chenliu. Currently, the Chen County Arsenal has stopped supplying armor and equipment.

The upgrade plan is to use full firepower to seize armor equipment for the field army. Within three months at the latest, 50,000 pieces of armor equipment will be delivered to Chenliu!

In other words, on the surface, Chen Sheng transferred only 50,000 troops to Chenliu to fight Wang Jian's 300,000-strong army, but in fact it was 100,000, or... 150,000!

And Wang Jian will soon have to face the difficult choice of whether to return to Luoyi to aid or to divide his troops and rush towards Guancheng!

…

June 21st.

Chen Sheng, who had a pair of black panda eyes, appeared in the Mengtian military tent outside Xiapi City, covered in dust.

He hasn't slept for three days and nights...

This is not the first time for the Red Army to mobilize 150,000 troops at once.

But this is the first time that Chen Sheng has personally presided over such a large-scale troop mobilization... Fan Zeng, who used to help him, is now confronting Zhang Liang's tribe in Jiyin County and cannot take care of logistics and staff work for him.

Everything from the raising and mobilization of grain and grass to the marching routes and time of each army required his own personal arrangement.

This is not to say that the division commanders cannot even handle trivial matters such as marching, but that they cannot stand on Chen Sheng's level and cannot find their own position in Chen Sheng's overall situation. They can only rely on him, the commander-in-chief in charge of the overall situation, to make unified decisions.

arrange.

Just like the issue of food and grass.

Chen Sheng worked steadily and deceitfully to accumulate wealth for so long. At present, the Han Dynasty's grain reserves are quite rich.

But the problem is that today's Han Dynasty is no longer the Caotai team that only had one county in the past, and all the food needed for the army came from Chen County!

Today's Han Dynasty governs nine counties with five to six million people. Each county has a granary to store the grain harvested this year. For such a large-scale troop mobilization, the grain needed is obviously not from a certain county.

, or one or two counties can support it. Even if they can support it, they cannot empty out the granaries of those two or three counties at once. Otherwise, if there is some natural disaster or man-made disaster, the county will not have any food.

That would be a huge disaster. We can only transfer some from each county to make up the round number!

Since we need to transfer grain from so many counties, we must comprehensively consider the distance between each county, the amount of grain stored, and the consumption of transporting grain itself. We must also consider whether the geographical location of each county is getting worse and worse.

In the severe drought zone, as well as the expected harvest this year's autumn harvest, coupled with the location of the granaries in each county, the amount of grain storage is top secret. The number of people in the Han Dynasty who know the situation of all granaries must not exceed the number of people in one palm...

With such a complicated matter, not to mention the six division commanders of the First Army, it is estimated that even if Fan Zeng took charge of it himself, he would have been confused for a long time before he could figure it out!

Even Chen Sheng personally took action, and it took him three days and three nights to straighten out the situation. As a great innate warrior, he couldn't bear it...

For the first time, he felt so deeply the power and terror of the guy who could shout "The more the merrier", although that guy was most likely bragging!

At the same time, he also made up his mind. After settling Ren Xiao, he would personally go to Yangzhou to kidnap people. He would also kidnap Xiao He, the great butler with a lot of logistical talent, back to the Han Dynasty. Otherwise, he and Han Ting would be in trouble if he continued to act like this.

Sooner or later, no one in the imperial court will follow in the footsteps of Emperor Liu's uncle, who "didn't start his business half way but failed in the middle way"...

Chen Sheng had just taken a breath after sitting down. Meng Tian, ​​who was out patrolling the camp, received the news and hurried back to the commander's tent, "I will pay my respects to the king at the end. Long live my king..."
To be continued...
