When the Han Dynasty court heard the news of Li Xiang's great victory, they were naturally delighted.
But things were not going to work for Zhang Jiao. The hundred thousand troops were all wiped out in one battle, and the Yellow Turbans, who never worried about the number of soldiers, were also in great pain.
Moreover, there are nine Yellow Turban Qushuai among them. In addition to the six Yellow Turbans Qushuai who died in the previous battle in Julu City, fifteen Yellow Turbans Qushuai have died in the hands of Li Xiang.
The Yellow Turban Army is known as the Thirty-Six Square Qushuai. Naturally, they have strength in numbers. But the number of Qushuai who died in the hands of Li Xiang is almost half of the total number of Qushuai. In addition, these people are all Zhang
Zhang Jiao's disciples have a master-disciple relationship with Zhang Jiao. Therefore, how could Zhang Jiao not be furious after such a huge loss.
"Damn it, damn it, this kid Li Xiang really deserves to die."
"Little Li Xiang, I must rip out his heart, eat his flesh, and drink his blood."
…
Zhang Jiao's roaring sounds kept coming from the big tent.
Although Zhang Jiao is still in some bad health today, he definitely will not die of illness suddenly like in the original history, which led to the complete defeat of the Yellow Turbans.
Although the intelligence system in the Yellow Turbans is not yet perfect, and there is even a long way to go. However, Li Xiang has been fighting behind the Yellow Turbans for such a long time and caused such huge losses to the Yellow Turbans. If the Yellow Turbans still cannot find out who Li Xiang is,
If you have an identity, then the Yellow Turbans are not worthy to be where they are today.
At this time, Chi You, Li Jin, Li Zicheng and other Yellow Turban Qushuai generals could only stand obediently on one side of the tent, quietly watching the furious Zhang Jiao lose his temper.
"Report, the great sage Hong Xiuquan of Yangzhou claimed to be the king of heaven, raised an army to rebel against the Han, and attacked several counties in Yangzhou of the Han Dynasty."
Before the furious Zhang Jiao could completely calm down, a member of the Yellow Turbans brought Zhang Jiao this shocking news.
But Zhang Jiao had not yet reacted to the news about Hong Xiuquan's rebellion against the Han. Immediately afterwards, news came one after another about the Qingxu Sixth Alliance's anti-king alliance, the Xiang clan in Jingnan, and the Qin Zheng of the Pre-Qin lineage in Youzhou.
After hearing this news, Zhang Jiao would never feel happy, but would become even more furious.
These people did not jump out when the Yellow Turban first emerged. Instead, they jumped out when Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban and the Han Dynasty were about to fight. What they had in mind would be obvious to anyone with a discerning eye.
Although these people are anti-Han like Zhang Jiao, they are by no means friends, but rivals, outright rivals.
There can only be one person who can rule the world, and there can only be one person who can hold the supreme position. Although several families are anti-Han, they all go for the supreme position. For this position, the fight between each other will always be endless.
It can only be life and death.
Moreover, the timing of these forces jumping out was too good, so Zhang Jiao had to think more.
The Yellow Turbans had just experienced a major defeat, with huge losses, and these forces jumped out at this time. Zhang Jiao felt that this clearly meant that the Yellow Turbans were on the decline, and that they had no one.
Thinking of Zhang Jiao here, the anger that had not yet completely subsided became even more intense.
"Send troops, send troops immediately, kill Li Xiang, kill that Hong Xiuquan, kill that..." Zhang Jiao said angrily.
Hearing this, Chi You was startled, and regardless of Zhang Jue's anger, he immediately stepped forward and spoke proactively.
"Father, you must not do this. We can certainly deal with the Han general Li Xiang, but we must not take action against other rebel kings for the time being."
Naturally, Zhang Jiao attached great importance to Chi You, his adopted son and Zhang Jiao's designated heir to the Yellow Turban. Seeing that it was Chi You who had spoken, Zhang Jiao barely suppressed the anger in his heart.
Seeing that Zhang Jue had finally calmed down a bit, Chi You immediately struck while the iron was hot and continued, "Father, we and the others are all on the anti-Han side. Although they are shameless, if we take action easily, how will the people of the world think about it?
My yellow scarf.
In addition, the battle between our army and the Han army has reached a critical moment. If our army is distracted, it will definitely give the Han army a chance to breathe.
Therefore, I hope my adoptive father will think twice about sending troops."
Zhang Jiao, who can develop the Yellow Turban into a behemoth, is naturally not a mediocre person. Just now, Zhang Jiao was just blinded by anger and did not think of these things.
Now Zhang Jiao, who had barely woken up after Chi You's reminder, naturally understood the truth behind Chi You's words.
"That's all, let's not talk about the other people, but that kid Li Xiang, if I don't kill him, it's hard to satisfy the hatred in my heart." Zhang Jiao said in a cold voice, suppressing his anger.
Seeing that he finally persuaded Zhang Jue, Chi You breathed a sigh of relief.
"Good teacher, if you want to quickly destroy that Han general Li Xiang, I have a plan to offer you." A calm voice came out quietly from inside the big tent.
Zhang Jiao looked up and showed a rare smile. This person was one of the two people Li Zicheng brought, Li Yan. The other person Li Zicheng brought was his nephew, Li Yan, who was known as a tiger.
pass.
Li Yan, formerly known as Li Xin, was born in Qinglonggang, Qi County, Kaifeng Prefecture, Henan Province in the Ming Dynasty. He was originally a member of the Ming Dynasty in the Ding Mao Year of Tianqi, and later defected to Li Zicheng to assist him in achieving hegemony and establishing Dashun. Later, because he was framed by Niu Jinxing, Li Yan
He was brutally and unjustly killed.
Li Yan was an intellectual known as "talented in literature and military, good at charity and upholding righteousness". After Li Yan followed Li Zicheng, he advised Li Zicheng to "respect the virtuous and courteous people, eliminate violence and show compassion for the people", "pretend to be benevolent and righteous, and prohibit soldiers from killing people."
Winning people's hearts to achieve great things."
It is particularly worth mentioning that Li Yan knew the secrets of some public opinion propaganda. He sent people to dress up as businessmen and spread rumors among the people, "Invading the king's benevolent and righteous troops will not kill or plunder"; he also made up nursery rhymes to let children
It is sung everywhere, "Open the door to welcome King Chuang, but when King Chuang comes, he will not pay for food." "Open the door early to greet King Chuang, and everyone will be happy."...
It can be said that Li Zicheng's peasant uprising army was brilliant for a time, and Li Yan made many achievements and made great contributions.
In this life, the relationship between Li Yan and Li Zicheng became even closer, and Li Yan was directly implanted to become Li Zicheng's biological brother.
And Li Yan also made great contributions in the Yellow Turbans. The rapid development of the Yellow Turbans before was due to Li Yan's good planning, and Zhang Jiao once relied on him as a military advisor. After the Yellow Turbans raised their troops, Li Yan even led the army and broke through the strongholds, many of which were successful.
War exploits.
It can be said that among the Yellow Turbans, after excluding the two adopted sons Chi You and Zhang Dingbian, the brothers Li Zicheng and Li Yan are the brothers that Zhang Jiao values most. As for Chen Sheng, Wang Qing and other Yellow Turban Qushuai, in Zhang Jiao's heart
His status is still lower than these people.
"What's the military advisor's plan? Once he says there's no way to visit him," Zhang Jiao said reluctantly.
"Good teacher, our army will... If this happens, Li Xiang's son will be caught off guard by our army." Li Yan stepped forward alone and quietly replied to Zhang Jiao.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jiao seemed to have encountered some problem and did not immediately make up his mind to adopt Li Yan's plan.
After a long time, Zhang Juocai sighed softly and said, "In this case, we will act according to the military advisor's plan. This time, we must kill the young Li Xiang to avenge the shame of our army's defeat."
