I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 118 Zhonglang will break the yellow scarf

In April, Lu Zhi, Huangfusong, Zhu Jun, and Liu Jian sent troops to the various battlefields where the Yellow Turbans were in turmoil.

Huang Fusong, Zhu Jun, Cao Cao and others went to Ruying, Lu Zhi led Yuan Shu and others to Jizhou to fight Zhang Jiao, and Liu Jian led his army to Nanyang.

Although there are only [-] elites, the soldiers led by Liu Jian are all the regular army of the imperial court. He Jin is the backing and pays for the food and grass. Most of them are refugees, without armor and equipment, and without food and fodder supply. Although there are a lot of people, they are far inferior to our own side when it comes to combat power.

However, Liu Jian still has a worry in his heart at the moment.

If he talked about this concern with the officers in the army, I'm afraid no one can explain it to him, but now, Liu Yan happened to recommend Dong Fu, an old chicken thief over seventy years old, to be his adviser. Liu Yan's sophistication is comparable to that of Liu Yan, and Liu Jian can discuss with him when he has something to do.

Huangfusong, Zhu Jun and others went to Ruying to face Bocai, a high-ranking general of the Yellow Turban Army. According to reports from the scouts in Liu Jian's army, in Nanyang, Zhang Mancheng was in charge of leading the Yellow Turbans all the way. Zhao Hong and others are generous.

The other roads are Xiaofang, and there are also six or seven roads in Nanyang County, with a strong force.

However, Liu Jian was not worried about the opponent's strength, but worried about another thing.

More than [-] soldiers did not join forces with Huangfusong and others, but went to Luhun, passing through the mountains between Xiong'er Mountain and Funiu Mountain, the three armies marched to Xixia, and then to the east was the Nanyang Plain, which could reach Wanwan city.

And it was at this time that Liu Jian temporarily stationed troops, and he called Dong Fu to discuss the matter with him.

Dong Fu is old and strong, over seventy years old, but still a healthy man, marching with Liu Jian, able to ride a horse when he should ride a horse, and ride a car when he should ride a car, without any delay.

In the handsome tent, Liu Jian and Dong Fu ate together, and said while eating, "I don't understand something today, and I want to ask Dong Gong to enlighten me."

While eating the cakes, Dong Fu said: "If it's about how to use troops, or how to arrange troops, don't ask this old man."

Liu Jian said with a smile: "It's not how to use troops."

"Please speak in detail."

"Dare to ask Mr. Dong, do you know how the Nanyang Mothie acts?"

Dong Fudao: "I know a thing or two. It is said that moth thieves attacked the government office while attacking Wubao of various prominent families, in order to make up for the balance."

Liu Jian nodded and said: "That's right, that's exactly the case. The moth thief's combat power is not enough to worry about. The only thing to worry about is that the moth thief attacked Wubao, a few prominent families, seized equipment, food and fodder, and armed his army. That's it. For fear of increasing his combat strength, although I can also win, but for fear of heavy casualties, I will turn around and use this to attack someone with a heart in the court, so I feel sorry for him and dare not act rashly, I wonder how Dong Gong regards this matter?"

Dong Fu didn't answer in a hurry, but chewed the cake in his mouth and swallowed it, said: "General Zhonglang, the theory of equality was not invented by the Yellow Turban Moth. It has been written down since the Spring and Autumn Period."

"Yan Ying in the Spring and Autumn Period once said that the prosperous emperors in ancient times took money, and whether they had power or not, they were both rich and poor."

"Master Kong Sheng also said something that will be left to future generations. Those who have a country and a family will not suffer from poverty but inequality."

"The sages and great sages have said this for a long time and left it in later generations, and then people will never be able to drive Li Shu into great things with these words. Zhonglang will know why?"

In this regard, Liu Jian couldn't understand it better than Dong Fu, who has lived for more than 70 years and is proficient in prophecy, so he immediately shook his head.

"Do you still ask Mr. Dong to enlighten me?"

"Those who suffer from inequality are all widows, and widows get rich suddenly, what should they do?"

Liu Jian stroked his chin in thought.

Dong Fu bit the cake and said, "This old man gave an example to General Zhonglang. There were two hungry people who had never tasted minced meat in their life. These two hungry people were walking in the wilderness and suddenly saw a dried meat under a tree. According to Zhong In the opinion of General Lang, what will these two hungry people do?"

Liu Jian said doubtfully, "Divide and eat."

Dong Fu said with a smile: "That is indeed possible, but it needs to be two people who can eat minced meat all the year round, who have been educated in the book industry, and know the courtesy of humility... and two people who have never tasted minced meat in their lives, who have been trained all the year round. Stuck in hunger, there will be nothing to learn, and it is difficult to know etiquette. How can such two people be humble? They must compete with each other, vowing to keep this meat as their own, how can they share the food?"

Liu Jian suddenly realized when he heard the words, and he began to bow his head and think carefully.

Dong Fu laughed and said: "Since the Spring and Autumn Period, there has been a theory of equalizing the poor, but no hungry person has ever achieved anything based on this statement. At most, it was just a temporary disaster. Why? Just because if Yu is extremely rich For the poor, it is bound to be more difficult to equalize."

"With the wisdom of General Zhonglang, just imagine, the Mothie Sect members are all refugees. They invaded the famous family Wubao and saw something that they have never seen in their life. How can the Mothie be humbled and polite?" Keep the festival, sit and be even?"

Liu Jian rubbed his chin and said slowly: "No...they will rob, crazily, for themselves, these things they have never seen in their lives, they wish they could take them all for themselves, and indulge in enjoying things they have never enjoyed in their lives .”

Dong Fu nodded with a smile, and said: "If the person who leads them is a hero, with strict military laws and a regular system, maybe they can restrain the moth thieves, and create an environment for ordinary moth thieves." False average conditions, but what kind of people are the Yellow Turbans and generous people?"

"Hehe, Huanglong, Zuoxiao, Qingniujiao, Wulu, Yigen, Zuoyizhangba, just by listening to these nicknames, the old man can imagine what kind of behavior they usually have. After the fort, I'm afraid they will behave even more unbearably than ordinary moth thieves!"

"Could it be that they have nothing to gain from property, and women have nothing to gain? Hehe, not everyone is a hero like Gaozu, who is ambitious, far-sighted, and not confused by immediate benefits."

"Having seen Wubao who is rich and wealthy, the first thought in the minds of these generous leaders is probably no longer to establish the world of Huangtian, and it is no longer some kind of equality, but how to prevent Wubao and wealth that he has obtained from being taken away by others Go, even their colleagues!"

"Zhang Jiao is far away in Hebei, how can he restrain these blind people?"

"If all the moth thieves are focused on encircling Luoyang for the so-called prosperity of the yellow sky, and everyone has the same idea in their hearts, they will be considered a formidable enemy,"

"But now, they are making troubles in the local area and robbing Wubao under the guise of equal wealth. But the more they rob, the more they have, and the more they have, the more selfish they are."

"The Yellow Turban Army has no formal organizational system, no legal constraints, no ignorance of etiquette, and a commander with a high vision. Even? Just using this reason to completely become a bandit, how difficult is it to break such an army?"

Liu Jian was stunned when he heard the words.

He suddenly remembered that in the history of those vigorous peasant uprisings, the greater the results achieved, the more internal strife and disputes, and the failure of peasant uprisings due to internal strife has almost become commonplace.

The reason for the internal strife is nothing more than nothing, and it becomes too much profit.

We can share adversity, but it is difficult to share wealth.

Liu Jian looked at Dong Fu at the side, and finally understood why Liu Yan sent this old man to his side.

Really complied with the old saying, to grow old and not die is to be a thief.

This old guy who encouraged Liu Yan to abolish Shi Limu and enter Shu in history is really an old thief.

"Dong Gong's words made Jian feel relieved, thank you for your advice!"

Dong Fu waved his hand, and said: "What's the point of trivial matters? Now that we want to defeat the Nanyang Mothie, I have a plan, which can be used by General Zhonglang."

"What's the plan?"

"Under the command of General Zhonglang, are there any elites who can spread rumors among the moth thieves?"

Liu Jian nodded, and said, "I am an elite teacher. In order to deal with various situations, there are naturally all kinds of talents."

Dong Fu laughed and said, "This is the best."

"I don't know what Dong Gong wants my elite to spread among the Yellow Turban Army?"

Dong Fu said with a smile: "The old man is best at the art of prophecy, and those who spread it among the Yellow Turban army are naturally the knowledge of prophecy, and all the followers of the Yellow Turban believe in Huang Tian, ​​and they are very easy to obey the theory of gods and ghosts. In this way, the old man's words, Maybe he can help General Zhong Lang."

……

……

Liu Jian's army did not move for the time being, but a nursery rhyme soon began to spread in various places in Nanyang.

The general content of nursery rhymes is not listed, but the meaning expressed in them is widely circulated throughout Nanyang County.

This nursery rhyme contains Yinghe Huangtian's metaphysics, and at the same time, it vaguely expresses a meaning, if one can win the three southern counties of Nanyang, ten Wubaos at the same time, and 30 stones of food, he will be the king of heaven.

As soon as this news came out, Zhang Mancheng, the biggest force among the Yellow Turbans in Nanyang County, became a little restless.

This time in Nanyang County, Zhang Mancheng was mainly responsible for attacking Wancheng in the north.

However, the rest of the Yellow Turban Marshals, such as Zhao Hong, Han Zhong, Huangshan, Shixu, etc., plundered Wubao in the south of Nanyang County, enriched their soldiers, and obtained countless supplies and food.

However, they only took all the things they got as their own. They occupied the county seat in the south of Nanyang County, moved their wealth and goods to the county seat, and did not go north to assist Zhang Mancheng in conquering Wancheng. According to the meaning of guarding the city and dominating one side, being the king of the mountain.

Originally, Zhang Man intentionally felt dissatisfied with the behavior of all parties regardless of the overall situation, until this nursery rhyme spread in Nanyang County, Zhang Mancheng couldn't sit still.

Instead of continuing to attack Wancheng, he turned his troops south and headed straight for Nanzhu counties of Nanyang County.
