0035 Chapter Rebellion of the White Waves in Montenegro
"In the winter of the seventh year of Emperor Ling of the Great Han Empire, he heard the bad news about the great wise and good teacher Zhang Jiao. Zhang Baiqi led an army of 50,000 to help Xiangcheng. However, the army reached Shangyong, Baibo Yellow Turban Army Bo Cai, and Heishan Army Zhang Yan suddenly raised an army to attack. Bo Cai besieged Hanzhong City, and Zhang Yan rushed his troops eastward to attack Shangyong." - "Biography of the Three Kingdoms"
"Meryl Mountain Army? Isn't the Black Mountain Army in Youzhou? Uh... just pretend I didn't say anything." Seeing Ma Yuanyi and Zhang Baiqi throwing their tongues secretly. The sudden change almost made him forget that the current world had undergone tremendous changes from the Three Kingdoms era he knew. After all, according to the history he knew, the Yellow Turban Army was still being encircled and massacred by the official army.
"Shipman Zhang Qu, what's going on with Shangyong now?" At this time, the generals who followed Qin Yang's army back also came here, and Han Zhong asked.
Zhang Baiqi took the kettle handed by the guards, took a big sip, and sighed and said, "Shangyong was occupied by that guy Zhang Yan. Yesterday, I broke the city and tried my best to break through. Now there are only more than a thousand brothers left..."
"Where is the saint?!" Zhang Mancheng said anxiously.
Zhang Baiqi glanced at his junior brother, and a sad look appeared in his eyes.
"Can Ning'er..." Zhang Mancheng's eyes were red and he was furious. Obviously he could not accept the news.
"I don't know..." Zhang Baiqi patted Zhang Mancheng's shoulder and his voice was low. "When I led my army to help Xiangcheng, the saint was still in Hanzhong City. But just a few days ago, Zhang Yan's traitor kept saying that the saint had issued a verbal order and ordered our army to open the city to surrender, probably..."
"No! Ning'er will be fine. She is the saint of my Yellow Turban Army. Who dares to touch her..." Zhang Mancheng interrupted Zhang Baiqi's words, but his own voice became smaller and smaller.
Everyone was silent. Except for Qin Yang and Guo Jia, most of the people present knew that Zhang Mancheng had childhood sweethearts and Zhang Jiao's adopted daughter Zhang Ning, and had an extraordinary relationship. Zhang Ning was the saint of the Yellow Turban Sect, who was appointed as the saint of Zhang Jiao. In addition to the army, the entire Yellow Turban Sect was respected by Zhang Jiao. If Bo wanted to steal the power of the Yellow Turban Sect, he would not miss the opportunity to hold the saint hostage in any case.
"Mancheng, the Saint has 30,000 guards of the sect, and is deeply loved by countless members of the Yellow Turban. I think Bo dared not treat her..." Ma Yuanyi couldn't bear it and comforted Zhang Mancheng.
"Your Highness! Please allow Zhang Mancheng to lead his troops to Hanzhong to rescue the Saint!" Zhang Mancheng's eyes were red and he said to Qin Yang with a hoarse voice.
"Mancheng is a little restless, I will give you an explanation..." Qin Yang comforted Zhang Mancheng for a moment, turned around and ordered: "The entire army will be ordered to set up camp on the spot. Without my order, the entire army will not fight at will. Those who violate the order will be killed!"
Qin Yang didn't know how many generals there were in the Yellow Turban Army like Zhang Mancheng, nor did he know whether there were relatives and friends of Bai Bo and Heishan Yellow Turbans in the army. Therefore, Qin Yang issued a death order, and it would be absolutely unwise to rashly fight without understanding the reality of the opponent.
After arranging everything, Qin Yang and Zhang Baiqi said, "Part your army into the army, and then camp and rest together. You can tell me about Bo Cai and Zhang Yan's situation in detail."
"Yes..." Zhang Baiqi was also admired when he saw that although Qin Yang was not old, he was calm and polite. Although he still doubted the identity of Qin Yang, the "Young Master", when he saw that the Yellow Turban Army's Qu Commander and Zhang Man were extremely respectful to him, he temporarily suppressed this doubt in his heart and stopped mentioning it.
Military orders were as high as a mountain, and a moment later the Yellow Turban Army's camp was arranged. Qin Yang and all generals from the Yellow Turban Army entered the Central Army's tent to discuss matters.
At this time, everyone also learned about the general situation from Zhang Baiqi. At the beginning of the Yellow Turban Army's uprising, Zhang Jiao had already planned. The Yellow Turban Cult in Hanzhong was deeply loved by the people, so Zhang Jiao set up the Golden Cult in Hanzhong, and Zhang Ning, the saint of the apology, was appointed by him, to spread the teachings.
Before going to Yingchuan, Zhang Jiao secretly trained two new troops, namely Bocai's Baibo Yellow Turban Army and Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army. These two armies are not only responsible for guarding the fundamentals of Hanzhong, but also Zhang Jiaoliu's backer. If the main force of the Yellow Turban Army led by him was defeated in the front, then the two armies of Heishan and Baibo might be the last trump card of the Yellow Turban Army.
Because the two armies had just been formed, the morale of the army was still unstable. Zhang Jiao stayed Zhang Baiqi in Hanzhong, one to strengthen the guardian force in Hanzhong, and the other to prevent accidents from happening between these two new armies, which would also be a deterrent.
After Zhang Jiao fell, Qin Yang succeeded to the throne of the Yellow Turban King, and the Yellow Turban Army was trapped in Xiangcheng, Zhang Ning and Zhang Baiqi did not dare to neglect them. Xingye summoned all the Yellow Turban Army generals in Hanzhong to discuss countermeasures. Finally, with Zhang Baiqi's persistence, the entire army made the decision to rush to Xiangcheng.
Bo Cai and Zhang Yan also participated in the meeting, but the two were still determined to give up. The next day when Zhang Baiqi ordered the general to go to war, Baibo and Heishan troops both made excuses that they had something to come but did not come to the scene. Rescue soldiers were like putting out fires. Although Zhang Baiqi was angry, the military situation could not be delayed, so he could only take 50,000 troops from the headquarters to rush to Xiangcheng alone.
Just when Zhang Baiqi had just arrived at Shangyong, Zhang Baiqi received the news that Baibo and Yellow Turbans had besieged Hanzhong. Zhang Baiqi was furious and prepared to return to Hanzhong to rescue. However, as soon as Shangyong came out, he was ambushed by Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Yellow Turbans, and suffered heavy casualties. He had to collect his troops and escape back to Shangyong to defend the city.
However, Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Yellow Turbans were also extremely powerful. After taking turns to attack, the remaining troops of Zhang Baiqi were finally defeated. Shangyong City was broken, and Zhang Baiqi fought hard to break through the siege.
"So how many of these two armies are there? How powerful are they?"
"Report to your Highness, Zhang Yan, the commander of the Yellow Turban Canal of Heishan, has a Heishan Army of 50,000, mostly spearmen, and is equipped with a battalion of Rangers. Baibo Huangteng is a member of 70,000, surrounded by infantry and equipped with a powerful crossbow camp. However, this time, it was found that the number of the Heishan Army increased significantly. It is roughly 100,000. I think the same is true for Baibo Huangteng. It is useless to trust Zhang Yan and Bo so much. It seems that they are..."
"I had planned it long ago!" Qin Yang nodded thoughtfully, and had a rough estimate in his mind. He secretly recruited soldiers and horses. It seemed that the rebellion should have been planned. Unexpectedly, Zhang Jiao had read the wrong person in his life and even gave important tasks to these two ambitions.
"Twenty-hundred thousand..." Qin Yang muttered softly. Since Bo Cai and Zhang Yan dared to rebel, they were full of confidence in the more than 200,000 troops and would definitely not be troops like the Houtu Camp of the Yellow Turban Army.
The more than 200,000 Yellow Turban Army is even more terrifying than the 500,000 imperial army. Fighting against the imperial army, the Yellow Turban Army has a common belief and can fight bravely without fear of death. However, fighting with 200,000 people with the same belief, the combat power of the Yellow Turban Army will be greatly reduced. Moreover, if the other party really captures Zhang Ning and takes the banner of the Saint of the Yellow Turban Sect, Qin Yang and the others will be even more passive.
"So what if they have 200,000 troops? The 500,000 troops of the Empire were defeated by His Highness Ming?! His Highness Ming is the orthodox of the Yellow Turban Army. Please give orders! I, Zhang Niujiao, are willing to be the vanguard, and cut off the heads of Bo Cai and Zhang Yan, the two traitors, to be spittoons for His Highness!"
"Your Highness! Give an order!" With Zhang Niujiao, the other Yellow Turban generals asked for battle, especially Zhang Mancheng, who even made an order on the spot to make a military order, beheading Zhang Yan in three days and recapture the entire Hanzhong in seven days.
Qin Yang, sitting in the position of commander, was silent, but his heart was already full of fighting spirit inspired by the fighting spirit of the generals. The strong fighting spirit gradually occupied Qin Yang's thoughts. Just when he was about to make a decision because of the case, suddenly the voice of the messenger came from outside the tent.
"He reported to His Highness King Ming, there was an envoy outside the camp gate to ask for his visit. He claimed that he was wearing the Yellow Turban Saint, and asked His Highness King Ming to come out to the camp to receive the orders!"
"The decree of the Saint Maiden?" Qin Yang was stunned, but he didn't expect that the other party would come quickly.
"Hmph, you're pretty arrogant, you still want me to go out and receive the order?!" A cold light flashed in Qin Yang's eyes, "Go, catch that man, first get twenty military sticks and bring them here!"
