Liu Yu had also thought about it for a long time when he made an agreement with Zhang Jiao that the Yellow Turban Army would form an alliance after the uprising.
As a mountain bandit, even if the reputation of Liangshan had spread throughout the entire Central Plains, ordinary people would not come to Liangshan if they could not survive.
This also caused the current Liangshan to slowly decline after a large number of people went up the mountain in the early stages.
In a chaotic world, the most important thing was population!
Then, no matter how many people they recruited, they could not come as quickly as robbing the Yellow Turban Army!
After Liu Yu's Liangshan and the Yellow Turban formed an alliance, as long as Zhang Jiao was defeated and the Yellow Turban fled in all directions, Liangshan would be the best place to turn the tables.
In any case, they had already become enemies with the imperial court. The imperial court would definitely not allow Liangshan to continue developing.
Since that was the case, why should he care if he was a traitor or a complete rebel? There was not much difference between them. They were all people that the imperial court wanted to eliminate.
Besides, if the Yellow Turban were to be completely defeated, Huangfu Song, Zhu Rong, and Lu Zhi would never let Liangshan off easily.
War would come sooner or later.
Then, after Liu Yu formed an alliance with the Yellow Turban army, the Yellow Turban army would all flock to Liangshan. Then, wouldn't Liu Yu have the potential to fight with the imperial court?
When the Yellow Turbans were defeated, Liu Yu would win all the time. His influence would definitely be greater than that of Zhang Yan, the Lord of the Black Mountain, and Guan Hai, the Yellow Turbans of Qingzhou.
In this way, when the Yellow Turban went to Liangshan together, it was the root of Liangshan's transformation from a mountain bandit's nest to a powerful force.
Forming an alliance with Zhang Jiao was not a cooperation. Liu Yu was only giving Zhang Jiao some suggestions. He would not fight to the death with the imperial court for the sake of the Yellow Turbans!
Not to mention, if Liangshan had a sufficient population and this thousand miles of water as a natural barrier, they would not be afraid of the government army!
Therefore, for the sake of the great plan, Liu Yu decided to form an alliance with Zhang Jiao. Because of this, Liu Yu's reputation in the Road of Peace might not be weaker than Zhang Jiao's.
With this alone, the Yellow Turban Army would think of Liu Yu when they had nowhere to go.
As long as he achieved this goal, Liu Yu would be considered successful.
Not to mention, the system had opened the system store. Its purpose was to let Liu Yu go out and cause trouble. This way, he could earn more Reputation Points.
……
After Zhang Jiao left, Liu Yu explained to the confused generals, which made them feel relieved.
"As expected, my brother's plan is very good, but he lacks some loyalty!”
However, so what? Liu Yu was the master of Liangshan, and they were the leaders of Liangshan. Naturally, they hoped that their village would become more and more popular.
It could also be said that Zhang Jiao's busy schedule might benefit Liu Yu in the end!
Of course, before Zhang Jiao left the village, Liu Yu gave him many suggestions.
For example, if the Yellow Turban Army wanted to succeed, they would have to turn from passive to active. If it was like Tang Zhou's snitching in history, Zhang Jiao would have no choice but to launch an uprising in advance.
They had already lost half of the battle before it even started. Therefore, the person who went to Luoyang to conspire with the aristocratic families and the constant attendants had to be loyal.
Also, the Yellow Turban Uprising relied on the strength of the people. Most of the Yellow Turban soldiers were also poor people. They could not attack the people as soon as they gained an advantage.
If someone bullied the people and tarnished the reputation of the Yellow Turban Army, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens for the Yellow Turban Army to succeed.
After Zhang Jiao heard Liu Yu's words, he naturally agreed earnestly. He had promised that he would make detailed arrangements for these matters when he returned.
If Zhang Jiao could really do these things well, perhaps the Yellow Turban would be able to survive for a while longer.
However, it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens for those bumpkins to do this. Also, Zhang Jiao did not have much time left. How could he maintain the Yellow Turban's fighting spirit?
Therefore, the defeat of the Yellow Turban was destined by the heavens. Because once Zhang Jiao died, the destruction of the Yellow Turban was not far away.
……
Of course, this was not the only benefit of joining forces with the Yellow Turban. Liu Yu had also asked Shi Qian to send troops to follow the Yellow Turban's intelligence network to lay out the entire Great Han Dynasty.
In addition, the followers of the Path of Peace were hoarding rations everywhere. As an ally, Liu Yu naturally had a share of the loot.
Therefore, Liu Yu, who had obtained benefits, naturally continued to develop the power of Liangshan.
At the same time, the government troops, who did not know that Liu Yu had formed an alliance with the Road of Peace, made another big move.
Yanzhou was located in the Central Plains and was very close to the Imperial City Luoyang. Ever since the last defeat, Liu Dai of Yanzhou could not take it lying down.
However, because Emperor Liu Hong had entered the eyes of money, he would not send any more troops to destroy Liangshan. Therefore, the task of eliminating Liu Yu and his gang fell on Liu Dai.
Because he had lost 30,000 soldiers last time, Liu Dai was eager to replenish the soldiers in Yanzhou and began recruiting.
Their goal was naturally very obvious. After the army was reorganized, they would once again gather an army to attack Liang Mountain!
