"Withdraw troops?" Upon hearing this, all the yellow turban generals in the tent asked in confusion. Only a few people, such as Zhang Dingbian and Li Yan, showed understanding looks.
Chi You looked around everyone with tiger eyes, taking in everyone's expressions. Then Chi You sighed slightly in his heart, there was still too little talent among the Yellow Turbans, and only a few people could understand such a simple truth.
With the death of Zhang Jue and the emergence of a series of internal problems within the Yellow Turbans, Chi You no longer had any illusions about defeating the Han army in Chen Liuzhong.
Chi You now just wants to withdraw the Yellow Turban army back to Puyang as much as possible and preserve the Yellow Turban's vitality as much as possible. In this way, Chi You will have a chance to make a comeback in the future.
Chi You understood that after the war, the Han Dynasty had actually lost its last trace of vitality. If the Yellow Turbans could successfully withdraw their troops this time, even if the Han Dynasty wanted to pursue the victory, they might not have the remaining strength.
In such a large-scale war before, I am afraid that the Han Dynasty's treasury has been used up long ago. If it were not for the full support of the world's noble families, I am afraid that the Han army would not be able to hold on until now.
In the past, it was because the aristocratic families faced the threat of the Yellow Turbans butcher knife that they fully supported the Han Dynasty. But now that once the Yellow Turbans withdraw their troops and there is no longer the threat of the Yellow Turbans, even if the aristocratic families are still willing to support the Han Dynasty, will they give their full support as before?
Therefore, even if the Han Dynasty still has the power to counterattack, it will definitely not be able to last long. As long as the Yellow Turbans persist a little bit, the Han army will withdraw because they can no longer hold on.
What's more, in Chi You's view, even if the Yellow Turbans withdrew their troops, the Yellow Turbans still hold most of Yanzhou, a smaller half of Yuzhou, and half of Xuzhou. In addition, Zhang Mancheng, who is entrenched in Nanyang, and other rebel kings
Zhang Bao of Qingzhou is also a big force.
As long as these powers are used properly, Chi You will eradicate the internal troubles of the Yellow Turban Army one by one. At that time, once the Han Dynasty shows a slight weakness, it will be the day when the Han Dynasty will be destroyed.
As for Wang Qing's power in Bingzhou, Chi You had given up hope. In other words, when the Yellow Turban Army decided to withdraw from Jizhou, Wang Qing had actually become an abandoned son. Now Chi You only hopes that Wang Qing can do more for him.
The Yellow Turban consumes one point of the Han's troops.
It's just a pity that those people were benefited in vain. Chi You thought to himself.
Now when Chi You thought of Qin Zheng, Hong Xiuquan, the Xiang family... these people, he became very angry. This time, the Yellow Turbans lost their troops, but they did not overthrow the Han Dynasty and achieve the results they deserved. Instead, those people and forces hid behind each other.
Behind the Yellow Turbans, by letting the Yellow Turbans attract firepower, they grew rapidly one by one.
I'm afraid those people will be the Yellow Turban's other great enemy besides the Han Dynasty in the future. Chi You sighed slightly in his heart.
"Yes, now we must withdraw our troops." Chi You said slowly to the generals in the tent.
"Now that the great virtuous master has passed away, the news has spread among the army. From now on, the morale of our Yellow Turban Army will plummet, and the soldiers will have no fighting spirit...
Moreover, we also need to come back as soon as possible to take care of the funeral affairs of the great virtuous master..." Before the generals could ask, Chi You directly told the reason for withdrawing the troops. Of course, Chi You could only tell what he could say openly.
That part.
Although some people were obviously unwilling to do so. After all, the losses suffered by the Yellow Turbans these days were not small. Once the troops were withdrawn, these losses would be in vain. But now that Chi You had given enough reasons, they had no choice but to obey even if they were unwilling to do so.
"Everyone, even if we have to retreat, we still have to discuss a good way. Otherwise, once the Han army chases out of the city and our army is unprepared, our army will definitely be caught off guard by the Han army and suffer losses.
Tragic." After seeing that the generals in the tent had accepted the proposal to withdraw, Zhang Dingbian also spoke.
Indeed, with the current situation of the Yellow Turbans, even if you want to retreat easily, it is not that easy. With the current Yellow Turbans' combat strength and morale plummeting, once the Yellow Turbans are attacked by the Han army when they retreat, by that time, the Yellow Turban army will
It really could turn into a big defeat.
Therefore, figuring out a suitable retreat method has become a top priority at this time.
Of course, although Zhang Dingbian seemed to say this to everyone in the tent, in fact, Zhang Dingbian was only asking Chi You, Li Yan and a few other people. As for the other people, Zhang Dingbian
I didn't expect them to come up with any useful suggestions at all.
Although Chen Sheng, Zhang Shicheng and others have some abilities, Zhang Dingbian understands that although he and Chen Sheng, Zhang Shicheng and others are still in the same camp for the time being, they are actually strangers. In the future, there may be conflicts between them.
We still have to face each other with swords.
After hearing what Zhang Dingbian said, the generals began to think secretly, regardless of whether it was useful or not. After all, as Zhang Dingbian said, if the Han army found any opportunity during the retreat, I am afraid that at that time,
They were really going to suffer heavy losses.
"Everyone, I have a plan that you can try." Li Yan, a rare wise man among the Yellow Turbans, spoke up.
"Commander, if you have any clever ideas, it's okay to say it." Chi You said to Li Yan politely.
Chi You attached great importance to Li Yan. Not to mention that Li Yan was originally leaning towards his side. Even based on Li Yan's own abilities, Chi You could not ignore him.
The Yellow Turban Army's natural position determines that it is destined to be incompatible with the power of aristocratic families, but almost 80% of the world's talented people come from aristocratic families.
And even among the remaining 20%, most of them came from poor families, and there were really very few scholars who were truly ordinary people.
The Han family and the common people are two completely different concepts. The Han family refers to a humble family, and specifically refers to the aristocratic families with lower family status. It can be said that the Han family is almost the power of those aristocratic families that have declined.
And it is obvious that although the poor families are no longer taken seriously by the powerful families, the Yellow Turban will never be the choice of those poor families.
Therefore, although it has been nearly a year and a half since the Yellow Turban Army launched the uprising, it has been able to attract very few literati, let alone any great talents.
And Li Yan was not just a literati. Li Yan was very capable in leading an army, making plans, or handling government affairs. He could be said to be a very comprehensive talent.
What's more, Li Yan was Li Zicheng's younger brother in this life, so Li Yan was born to be tied to the Yellow Turban Army. Therefore, both Zhang Jiao, who has passed away, and Chi You now, attach great importance to Li Yan.
