Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 499 Huang Tian
At the end of December of the third year of Chu Li, the Xinye [-]st Division had returned to its base - coming back from Yizhou was much easier than marching into Yizhou!
However, only the principals and main forces at all levels came back, including the deputy division commander "Wei Yan", and almost all the deputies stayed in Badong County.

Currently recruiting and training troops locally in Badong County, the official deputy division commander to deputy platoon leader of the New Field Army, as well as a thousand "veterans" - except for a few Ji Zao soldiers, it is almost a complete army system.

Because it originally came from the same division, and the superiors and subordinates were familiar with each other, and there was a division of labor. Although it was to supplement the new army, there were a thousand veterans, so they could adapt quickly and master it.

This is also a common practice in modern military management-after the army goes out for an expedition, the deputy stays at the headquarters, and starts conscription and training on the spot, in case of emergencies!

According to the agreement with the Marquis of Shu, the first division of Wancheng will withdraw one after another in a year, and Zhao Yun and Fazheng will all withdraw by then.

The ones who will stay in Badong County at that time will be Wei Yan and Guo Huai...

In fact, both the court and the Privy Council had little reaction to this decision - both of them were too young in terms of their age and seniority.

Moreover, Badong County is not an ordinary county, but serves as the stepping stone for Chu State to enter Shu and the gateway for Yizhou to enter Chu. It would be uneasy for some people to hand it over to two "young boys" in their senior years.

It was only because of Bai Tu's support, and several bigwigs in the Privy Council also recognized their abilities, so the "repercussion" did not cause any "influence".

After Wei Yan and Guo Huai learned the news, they were grateful for the king's trust and were full of energy.

Bai Tu was naturally relieved about Wei Yan and Guo Huai.

After all, these two people in history, one is the Hanzhong prefect who "If Cao Cao comes with the whole world, please reject it for the king; if Cao Cao comes with a hundred thousand people, please swallow them for the king"; the other is the general manager of Yongzhou, who participated in the Northern Expedition several times. The "Town of Guanxi" (Guo Huai:???) that Zhuge Liang dealt with.

Although both of them were still young at this time, it was more than enough to guard Badong County and guard against the princes of Shu.

In a blink of an eye, the Chinese New Year is almost here again.

After a year, the Han Dynasty overturned its rhetoric a year ago, and praised Zhang Lu, who had been warned a year ago, as a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty.

He also formally conferred the title of Marquis of Hanning on Zhang Lu and gave him Jiuxi - because of its far-reaching historical significance, it was impossible to give him titles related to "Hanzhong".

Liu Zhang's "begging for mercy" and Zhang Song's mission obviously had an effect...

Although Liu Xie was dissatisfied that Liu Zhang was so cowardly and incompetent, which brought shame to the old Liu family, he still felt resentful after hearing that the Chu army had ceded Badong County, and agreed to Liu Zhang...or rather, Chu country’s requirements.

After all, if Zhang Lu really fell out with the Chu State completely, as long as Zhang Lu held Hanzhong, other forces supporting the Han Dynasty would not be able to reinforce Yizhou even if they were united.

Facing the Chu army independently...even if it is only a part of the Chu army, what chance does Liu Zhang have of winning?In other words... how long can it last?

Even if we want to "encircle Chu and save Shu", we can't escape the two roads of Shouchun Hefei in Huainan and Wancheng Xiangyang in northern Jingxi...

How easy is it?

What's more, if you really confront Chu State with all your strength, you also have to beware of Wei State's backstab!

Especially after a round of games, the high-ranking cadres of Bingzhou are obviously more inclined to the Wei State. After Yuan Tan and the Huns allied, the east and west of Bingzhou had the intention to merge, which made the Han Dynasty Don't even dare to act rashly.

If we do the math, even Qihou Liu Bei, relying on the power of Qingxu State, can take the initiative to go north and hold back the Wei State. Yonghou Ma Teng and Zhaihou Han Sui can lead the Qiang with the elite of Xiliang to compete with the Xiongnu and Gaogan in Bingzhou... …

Can the remaining Zheng Hou Zhang Yan and Sai Hou Yang Feng have the effect of "encircling Chu and saving Shu"?

I am afraid that even if Gao Gan, the Yuan clan, and the Xiongnu were persuaded to hold back the Wei State, and the Marquis of Qi marched south to Huainan at the same time, it might not be effective - after all, Huainan has many water systems, and water warfare is a reserved item of the Chu State.

Even on the Wancheng front line...

Who knows how many plate armors Chu has left?
Liu Xie didn't feel sorry for his uncle Liu Zhang, but he also felt sorry for Yizhou.

It finally looked from the map that Fu Han's forces were divided into two-thirds - looking at the map every day is Liu Xie's biggest hobby.

Therefore, in the end Liu Xie pinched his nose and agreed to canonize Zhang Lu and mediate the dispute between Chu and Shu...

It's just that Zhang Lu was still a little "dishonest" after taking such a big advantage because of Bai Tu's "braveness".

After Bai Tu returned to Jinling from Kuaiji, he learned a piece of news that was not very good, but not too bad either.

Chafengwei had previously discovered that some of the aid workers sent by Hanzhong to Wudang County had deeper secrets, and even... it was not just as simple as exploring the secrets of Chu State, or secretly preaching.

If it was the latter, Bai Tu wouldn't care too much.

After all, in the water conservancy project in Wudang County, a large number of laborers, a large number of cultural and sports activities, and condolence performances were also arranged, which was very fulfilling, and each of them received a lot of remuneration.

In comparison, what competitiveness does a preacher who talks in private and is afraid of being discovered have?

It is true that many laborers from Hanzhong have begun to accept Bai Xue...

It's just that these people's "secret actions" made Baitu a little confused, and the Fengfengwei kept investigating.

Because the other party never made any extraordinary moves, and Bai Tu wanted to "fish", he never touched them.

Until a few days ago, a deep believer with a mission was finally inspired by Bai Xue and secretly revealed what he knew to the Wind Guard!
It turns out that these Tianshi Tao believers have secret missions...

It’s looking for Yi Ji!
After Bai Tu learned the news, he felt relieved - he originally thought they had some big conspiracy... That's it?That's it?

Think about what happened to the Snake Cultivating Department back then...

In order to find the so-called ancient goddess, she went through a crazy "archeology" operation, and the operation was as fierce as a tiger. In the end, the Ba Snake Ji she finally found really only has archaeological significance!

We have seen many different concubines in white pictures, and the most useful one now is none other than Yu Ji, who can take charge of Gongkou... Jingkou City!

However, the origin of the Yi Ji that Tianshi Tao is looking for this time really makes Bai Tu a little interested - if it is some kind of archeology Ji, Bai Tu will definitely ignore it.

After they find it, they can just collect it for archeology...

However, the Yiji they are looking for is not that old, and does have some relationship with Taoism. It was 20 years ago that she was famous... Huang Tianji!

20 years ago, the great sage Zhang Jiao planned to overthrow the Han Dynasty. Although he was betrayed by his disciples and had to hastily raise troops, he still relied on the large number of followers of the Yellow Turban Sect to set off the Yellow Turban Uprising across 28 counties in seven states.

In the world of Cheng Ji, there is no way to launch a large-scale battle without Ji Zao soldiers. Therefore, those who "uprising" are either the defenders of a certain place, or they quickly occupy a certain place and gain control of Cheng Ji, or... ...It’s when a foreign concubine descended from heaven when they made an alliance with blood and swore an oath to raise an army!

The latter is generally troublesome.

It's not that the different girls who appeared during the uprising were stronger, but because the different girls were born during the uprising, it shows that the dynasty already has serious internal worries, otherwise the dynasty girls themselves will suppress the birth of different girls.

As for the birth principle of different concubines, all dynasties have regarded it as the top secret. After all, no one wants to have a different concubine that cannot be controlled by the dynasty. family - the principle is also a secret.

Even in Bai Tu's view, the so-called secrets were actually something they themselves didn't know much about.

For example, Bai Tu now also knows that Jia Ji is usually formed after the death of a female member of the family, but no one can explain the specific principle. He only knows that a strong family can promote this transformation.

To say that the one who has studied Yiji the most deeply is probably the imperial court of Chu State - after all, Gan Ning personally trained Yiji, and Bai Tu also used his character to attract Yu Ji's appearance...

At least Baitu knows that some of the different girls and Cheng girls used to be real human beings. Under certain circumstances, they will transform into different girls, and after they are entrusted to the city and connected to the system dominated by Chinese culture, they will transform As a city concubine, if she lives in the ancestral hall and protects the clan, she will become a family concubine.

However, the reason for Huang Tianji's birth is still a mystery, and its effects are also very destructive...

With the "unreasonable" forced manpower extraction, as long as the city is captured, all the manpower can be "coerced" immediately, and a large number of Yellow Turbans can be quickly "trained" with cheap manpower and crude material resources.

The Yellow Turban Army itself is very weak, its training efficiency is extremely low, and its military discipline is difficult to restrain. However, it has the characteristics that are most suitable for the rebel army-the larger the number, the higher the morale, and when the battle situation is dominant, the morale will increase significantly.

It is most suitable for battles with more enemies and fewer enemies and a strong tailwind...

Weakness naturally means that the combat effectiveness is weak when the wind is against the wind, and it is easy to scatter, and it is impossible to fight a tough battle.

However, there is also an advanced unit called the "Yellow Turban Warriors", which not only has the same strength as the Wood and Stone Warriors, but its own morale is not easily reduced, and can also inspire the Yellow Turban Army to form a wonderful linkage.

The most important thing is that the Yellow Turban Warriors themselves also have the ability to train the Yellow Turban Army, but they cannot be "coerced" and cannot train the Yellow Turban Warriors. Therefore, although there is only one Huang Tianji, the Yellow Turban Uprising bloomed everywhere in just one month in the early days...

Fortunately, the conditions for Huang Tianji to train Yellow Turban warriors are extremely demanding. They need to collect manpower from the most fanatical believers, so the number is limited.

Otherwise, if there were a sufficient number of Yellow Turban warriors, theoretically the Yellow Turban Army could overcome most of its weaknesses and become capable of fighting tough battles, and then the Han Dynasty would really be in trouble.

And Huang Tianji herself, like Yi Ji in Yizhou, has the ability to participate in the battlefield - although she does not fight directly, Huang Tianji can greatly boost the morale of the Yellow Turban warriors and the Yellow Turban Army, weaken the negative effects of the Yellow Turban Army, and even... It affects the weather to a certain extent and within a certain range!

This made the main force of the Yellow Turban Army led by Zhang Jiao, and even the veteran general Lu Zhi in the court, repeatedly frustrated at the beginning.

If not for the disappearance of Huang Tianji when Zhang Jiao was trapped in Guangzong in the later period of the Yellow Turban Uprising, the number of Yellow Turban warriors would not increase since then, and there would be no direct participation of Huang Tianji on the battlefield, and Zhang Jiao would be directly surrounded and killed in Guangzong... I am afraid that the Yellow Turban Rebellion will not quickly transform into a situation similar to banditry everywhere.

In the beginning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, they rushed to cut down the big tree of the Han Dynasty. However, after the Battle of Guangzong, although the Yellow Turban Army still caught fire everywhere, and even "resurrected" once a few years later, they just kicked Its main trunk has been shaken to the extent that some dead branches and leaves have fallen off.

Zhang Jiao heard somewhere that Huang Tianji is currently in Chu State... To be precise, in Jiangdong!

However, after mentioning it like this, Bai Tu remembered that Yu Ji was also in Jiangdong to set up a watch and had to meet the Ming Lord. Could it be that he knew something?
It's just that it's not easy for Bai Tu to ask about this matter.

After all, if Yu Ji really knows, since he didn't take the initiative to mention it, he must not want to say it. This matter is not within the scope of Yu Ji's duties, and Bai Tu can't force him...
