Chapter 198 The big waves wash away the sand, a gathering of heroes
Chapter 198: A gathering of heroes on the waves
October, the first year of Zhongping.
After issuing an edict against powerful families in the world to recruit troops on their own, the Han Dynasty court took action again and issued a refugee relocation edict against the refugees from all over the world, calling on the refugees from all over the world to go and merge with the three northern counties.
As soon as this edict came out, the refugees all over the world were in an uproar. The Han Dynasty court, which had always ignored the refugees, now actually cared about the lives of ordinary people?
The imperial court's credibility among the people is not good, otherwise it would not have caused rebellion all over the world. Many refugees did not believe it at first.
However, while the refugees were lingering and hesitating, they also learned that Qin Hao, the son of Qin Wen, the governor of Yanmen, had indeed led troops to recover the three northern and central counties that had been occupied for nearly 20 years.
The Han Dynasty took this as a breakthrough point and deliberately promoted it, making Qin Hao a world-famous young hero and the dream lover of countless girls.
Then the imperial court used Qin Wen's character as a guarantee, and finally attracted some people to go to the three counties.
When the refugees who moved to the three counties were indeed allocated land, it was also confirmed that the three counties had given out land for free. The word spread from ten to ten and hundreds to thousands, and countless refugees rushed to the three counties. The relocation edict helped the Han Dynasty win back many hearts among the common people. Many people who still had illusions about the Han Dynasty were so excited that after learning that the land was distributed among the three counties, they cried bitterly and shouted:
Long live the emperor, long live General Qin.
Even some people in the Yellow Turban Army were a little shaken. After all, since their uprising, the people of the world have not only not benefited from it, but their lives have become even more difficult.
Of course, this group of people is very small, and most of the Yellow Turbans are extremely determined.
Now that we have embarked on this reverse path, we can only go down a dark path and have no other choice.
Yanzhou, Chen Liu.
After learning that nearly a million Yellow Turbans were coming to Yanzhou, the Yanzhou family dared not put up any resistance. They didn't even dare to mention the terms of surrender, and they all surrendered voluntarily.
After all, most of the soldiers of the Yanzhou family were taken to Hulao Pass by Cao Cao, and they no longer have the capital to resist.
However, the Yanzhou family thinks too simply. The current situation is not something they can surrender if they want.
Because of the Yanzhou family's sniper attack, Huang Chao was defeated by Lu Zhi and Cao Cao, and Huang Chao's identity as the heir to the Yellow Turban became precarious again.
Hong Xiuquan in Yangzhou had a smooth journey and won consecutive victories. Xiang Yan and Xiang Yu even captured Yuzhou and most of Xuzhou. After Huang Chao's defeat, the results seemed a bit inadequate.
So Huang Chao hated the Yanzhou family so much that he gritted his teeth, how could he possibly accept their surrender?
However, Huang Chao also knows that he cannot push these aristocratic families into a hurry, otherwise it will not be of any benefit to him if they are both destroyed.
So Huang Chao pretended to accept the surrender of the Yanzhou family, and after completely accepting the fruits of victory, he immediately turned his back on him.
Nearly a hundred aristocratic families were massacred, and only some of them managed to escape to Jingzhou and Xuzhou. Most members of the Xiahou family of Cao's family were in Cao Cao's army, and the rest also fled to Xuzhou in advance, so they survived.<
/p>
Since this battle, the Yanzhou family's strength has suffered heavy losses, and the entire Yanzhou has completely fallen into the sphere of influence of the Yellow Turbans.
After millions of troops stationed in Yanzhou, millions of civilians followed day and night to transport grain and grass to Yanzhou. Now Yanzhou has become the grain depot of the Yellow Turban Army.
Chenliu is the state and county closest to Sili in Yanzhou, so it naturally became the base camp where the Yellow Turban Army gathered. At this time, the Chenliu Prefecture was a gathering of elites.
Huang Chao, Xiang Yan, Xiang Yu, Hong Xiuquan, Fang La, Li Zicheng, Li Mi, Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong, Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng, Fang Guosheng...
Except for Zhang Xianzhong who stayed in Jizhou and was not present, all the famous Qu Shuai and rebel leaders among the Yellow Turbans were basically present.
Such a huge talent lineup is simply incomparable with the Yellow Turban Army in history. So many heroes and heroes are just hiding under Zhang Jiao's command at this time, obeying Zhang Jiao's dispatch.
The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves in front, and the waves in front die on the beach.
These anti-kings were the figures who stirred up the dynasty in the original history and were the elites of the era. But when they came to the great era of the late Han Dynasty, they naturally would not disappear from the crowd. The Yellow Turbans were the most suitable stage for them to perform.
The Yellow Turbans fought hard for more than half a year, and most of the original thirty-six Fangqu commanders were killed in the battle. Most of their positions were replaced by the anti-kings who came out of balance.
Looking at the energetic faces in the hall, most of the old faces were missing, which made Zhang Jiao feel a little sad.
When will this war end?
Seeing that all the leaders had arrived, Zhang Jiao suppressed the sadness in his heart and said calmly: "We are all here, let's start."
Seeing Zhang Jiao speak, the major channel commanders immediately did not dare to whisper to each other. They all listened attentively to Zhang Jiao's lecture, but Zhang Jiao nodded to Huang Chao, who immediately stood up when he saw this.
"We, the Yellow Turbans, revolted in March and fought hard for seven months, finally conquering half of the country. Now our Yellow Turban Army controls the entire Yanzhou, most of Yuzhou, Qingzhou, and half of Jizhou, Yangzhou."
When the commanders heard this, they all showed happy smiles. They had worked hard to gain these territories, but Hong Xiuquan and Xiang Yu frowned.
Asking Huang Chao to read out the results of the battle in public is not obviously an act of letting Huang Chao inherit his position! Huang Chao was defeated so miserably in Yanzhou, does the great virtuous master still value Huang Chao so much?
At the thought of this, Hong Xiuquan and Xiang Yu couldn't help but feel a little angry.
Hong Xiu was Zhang Jiao's eldest disciple, but he conquered nearly half of Yangzhou alone without much support. This achievement was not much better than that of Huang Chao, and Xiang Yu's was even more exaggerated.
Hong Xiuquan took half of the credit for the capture of Yangzhou. His grandfather Xiang Yan captured more than half of Yuzhou. He himself even captured half of Xuzhou with the assistance of his adviser "Jia Guo".
With such a huge contribution, coupled with Xiang Yu's status as Zhang Jiao's future son-in-law, isn't it enough to take over Zhang Jiao's position and become the heir to the Yellow Turban Army?
Xiang Yu was dissatisfied.
Huang Chao naturally saw the expressions of the two of them, and felt extremely proud in his heart.
Xiang Yu, so what if you are not the best in the world? You are just a brave man, great teachers will not choose you. Only those with outstanding strategies can become the leaders of the Yellow Turban.
Although Hong Xiuquan was Zhang Jiao's disciple, Huang Chao couldn't even regard him as a competitor. In Huang Chao's view, Hong Xiuquan had some special views on religion, and his own abilities were not too strong. If it weren't for Yang Xiuqing and Shi Dakai.
It would have been impossible for Hong Xiuquan to achieve such great achievements without the help of others.
