Spirit Monarch's Dissatisfaction 5/5 ()
The Yellow Turban Army seemed to have received news of the defeat of the Yellow Turban soldiers from the south. Some of the Yellow Turban soldiers who had fled north to Jizhou and Youzhou had spread rumors about Liu Qingshan's amazing skills, which made Zhang Jiao tremble in fear.
Originally, Zhang Jiao had thought that if Liu Xuan went north, he would gather all the Yellow Turban disciples and splash Liu Qingshan's face with blood.
However, they did not expect that Hanting would stop midway and stop Liu Qingshan from going north. This completely made the Yellow Turban Army secretly heave a sigh of relief.
Liu Qingshan's absence made the Yellow Turban Army, who had originally been terrified, completely lose their scruples.
Even though Huangfu Song, Zhu Rong, and Lu Zhi were famous generals of the current era, and their attacks on the Yellow Turban Army were very cruel and fierce, the Yellow Turban Army was still not afraid at all. It was as if they did not care about their lives.
Because these famous generals didn't know one thing.
The Yellow Turban Army itself was formed by poor people and did not have much culture. Taiping taught them life goals and lofty ideals. In addition, they could have food to eat. This was the reason why the Yellow Turban Army was so prosperous.
In the past few months, Zhang Jiao had thought about going to Qingzhou to continue developing his followers.
However, to Zhang Jiao's horror, the people they sent to recruit believers were reported before they could even organize themselves. They were killed before they could escape.
A group of people who had barely escaped death brought back a piece of news that Zhang Jiao feared the most.
In the south, the name Liu Qingshan was more convincing than the doctrine of peace.
Zhang Jiao naturally understood what this meant. He also realized that Liu Qingshan was the true enemy of the Yellow Turbans.
The army of the Han Dynasty could only kill the people of the Taiping Cult, but Liu Qingshan could cut off the roots of the Taiping Cult.
Although Liu Qingshan did not come to the north for the time being, if the battle continued, there would definitely be a battle.
Therefore, Zhang Jiao understood that he had to be prepared to deal with an enemy who could kill.
Therefore, as time passed, Huangfu Song and the others discovered that the Yellow Turban Army, which had been fighting to the death with the Han Army, had become more and more slippery. They were completely using guerrilla tactics. They did not fight to the death with them, but they were constantly making trouble and annoying the Han Army.
Just like that, three months passed. The three famous generals were completely stalled. They were unable to subdue the Yellow Turban Army of a state and county. Instead, these Yellow Turban Army began to spread in the northern states and counties.
The Yellow Turban Army, which originally only had Jizhou and Youzhou, began to spread to Bingzhou and Qingzhou.
Among them, Qingzhou had Beihai Prefecture Governor Chen Gong sending troops to block them, so they couldn't cause too much trouble. However, the Yellow Turban Army in Bingzhou was like a fish in the water, wandering freely.
Bing Province was a border province of the Han Dynasty and was often harassed by other races.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion allowed the foreign tribes to find an opportunity to take advantage of, so they quickly occupied the basic counties of Bingzhou. The Yellow Turban army entered and colluded with the foreign tribes to take care of each other, forming a horn that made it difficult for the Han army to attack.
The development of these matters, the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Youzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou, and other places were like weeds that could not be harvested. The miserable state of the people made Emperor Ling of Han more and more dissatisfied with the arrival of the front line.
Damn it, why did it feel like so many generals were inferior to Liu Qingshan?
This was what Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty thought. At the same time, it was also the thought of some civil officials in the imperial court. Similarly, it was also the unwilling thought of some generals on the front line who were badly battered by the Yellow Turban Army.
Damn it, how did Liu Qingshan do it? They really wanted to talk to him.
This situation had been in a stalemate. Emperor Han Ling had the idea that his words carried weight and he wanted to suppress Liu Qingshan. He had been silent and endured it.
However, there was a limit to his patience.
The great teacher who should have died a few months ago was finally dead.
The situation of a group of dragons without a leader was a huge blow to the Yellow Turban Army, which had faith in them.
The god-like great teacher had actually died. This was similar to how Jesus abandoned his believers and returned to his hometown.
At this point, the faith of the Yellow Turban Army was shaken.
Although there were still Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang to stabilize the overall situation, the backbone had been lost. The Yellow Turban Army had been divided from one force into several groups and could no longer be united.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Huangfu Song, Zhu Xi, Lu Zhi, Cao Cao, Dong Zhuo, Gongsun Zan, and the local soldiers led by Liu Bei from Zhuo County, Youzhou, and Zhuo County were sent by the Imperial Court.
The group attack finally suppressed the arrogance of the Yellow Turban Army.
However, although the Yellow Turban Army was no longer a united force, it trained a group of elites through fighting and killing in the process of fighting with various places.
The number of these people might not be as many as before, but they were abnormally difficult to deal with. They were like raiders and bandits. They were usually difficult to find, but once they let down their guard, they would attack brazenly and ruthlessly attack you head-on. It was extremely uncomfortable.
During this process, Huangfu Song dealt with the rebellion of the Yellow Turban Army with killing power. All the captured Yellow Turban soldiers were beheaded, and their corpses and heads piled up into a capital, but they were still unable to be eradicated.
Lu Zhi, on the other hand, wanted to use defense instead of offense. He was prepared to use the least sacrifice to slowly wear down the Yellow Turban Army.
However, the Yellow Turban soldiers who had fled in all directions were completely like dog skin plaster. No matter how hard they tried, they could not be removed cleanly.
As time went by, the Spirit Monarch's treasury was also shrinking rapidly in this process, which made the Spirit Monarch's heart ache.
In the end, under Zhang Rang's instigation, the Spirit Monarch was finally enraged, even though some of the civil officials were unaware of the severity of the military situation.
And finally…
On this day, in the Imperial Court, the Spirit Monarch's expression was gloomy.
"Good-for-nothings, good-for-nothings. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Liu Qingshan pacified five provinces and hundreds of counties in less than three months. What about you? How long has it been? Tell me, how long has it been?”
Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong roared angrily. Countless officials and generals in the royal court were also embarrassed.
However, there were also some people who were unconvinced.
He said that the Yellow Turban Army's combat strength was different in different regions. Liu Xuan had only relied on his sweeping momentum to crush the Yellow Turban Army in various regions.
However, because of Zhang Jiao's death, the ones in the north had lost their leader and started to make trouble everywhere. It was difficult to eliminate them completely. If they confronted them head-on, they were also confident that they could eliminate the Yellow Turban Army completely.
