Back then, Luo Xuan had predicted that his Path of Peace would quickly decay after the incident. Even Zhang Jiao would not be able to stop it.
In the end, he would become someone Zhang Jiao hated.
At that time, Zhang Jiao didn't believe it.
He was extremely confident and determined. How could he believe that he could not stop the corruption of the Path of Peace?
However, his words were right.
Even though Zhang Jiao had tried his best to guard against it in the past few years, it was useless.
Luo Xuan had even predicted that his Yellow Turban uprising would definitely fail and listed several reasons for its failure.
Zhang Jiao had listened to them carefully back then. He had also made some changes and arrangements in secret over the years.
However, a portion of them had already failed.
Now, he only hoped that the Yellow Regiment Uprising would succeed.
"This........."
When Zhang Yan and the others heard what the great teacher said, they immediately looked at each other in dismay.
Was a child really as powerful as the great teacher said?
However, since this person was able to defeat Zhang Niujiao and Huang Long with 4000 troops, he must be extraordinary. No matter how much they didn't think so, they still cupped their hands and agreed on the surface.
"Alright!"
Zhang Jiao waved his hand. No matter what they thought, he had already reminded them. He straightened his face and ordered,"Let's suppress this for now. In the face of the general trend, one person and one army are no longer able to control the situation. Currently, Lu Zhi has already gathered troops in Ye City and will attack us in a few days!”
"Yu Du, Colonel Zuo, the two of you will lead 50,000 troops into Guangping. Protect the rear of my army and provide food support!”
"Here!"
Yu Du and Lieutenant Zuo immediately cupped their hands and accepted the order.
"Guan Hai, follow me and lead 400,000 troops to Quliang, preparing to march into Handan. You will lead 50,000 troops as the vanguard to test the waters.”
"Here!"
Guan Hai went out to receive the order.
This was the vanguard of the main force, which showed how much Zhang Jiao valued him.
"Zhang Yan, lead your 100,000 men to attack Wei County. You must take it down as soon as possible and then lead your troops to Ye City.”
"Here!"
Zhang Yan cupped her hands and accepted the order.
"In the end, the armies will converge at Ye City and wipe out Lu Zhi's main force."”
"After that, we can march into Hanoi and attack Luoyang! If we retreat, we can wait for an opportunity to swallow the entire Jizhou and turn this place into our headquarters.”
"In addition, I've already ordered Zhang Bao to be in charge of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou! Zhang Liang ruled Yuzhou and Jingzhou Yellow Turbans! Bo Cai is in charge of Yanzhou Yellow Turban! Each state also had a canal commander to manage a state's Yellow Turban.”
"I hope that it can blossom in all directions and completely defeat the Han army, paving the way for us to take Luoyang!”
Some of these arrangements were obviously not there at first, but because of some people, the Yellow Turban Army had changed.
.......
While the Yellow Turban Army was on the move, the government troops were not idle either.
On Jizhou's side, after Lu Zhi had gathered 200,000 troops, he began to lay out the strategy of the Yellow Turban Army. He divided his forces to attack and began to counterattack.
Along the way, 60,000 troops were led by the clan members…They will lead troops from Ye City into Wei County, targeting Guantao. In the end, they met up with Lu Zhi's army at Guangzong.
On the other side, Lu Zhi personally led 120,000 troops into Handan to threaten Quliang and Guangping.
Generals against generals, kings against kings, main force against main force.
Lu Zhi's strategy was to fight steadily and steadily. There was no risk or surprise.
He wanted to defeat Zhang Jiao's main force fair and square, shattering the backbone and confidence of the Yellow Turban Army.
The counterattack of the government troops began.
It was not only the main force on Lu Zhi's side. In order to protect themselves or for other purposes, countless righteous men, aristocrats, and despots in various prefectures and counties began to form local soldiers to fight against the small groups of Yellow Turban soldiers in various places.
On the Jizhou side, Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei, and the others from Youzhou had also made their mark. After they had initially pacified the main force of the Yellow Turban army in Youzhou, they all went south, preparing to join the Jizhou battlefield and gain more merits.
This turmoil was the sorrow of the people of the world, but it was a feast for those who had ambition, courage, and ability.
........
Two days later, outside Handan City, Zhang Jiao led 400,000 soldiers to surround the city and face off against Lu Zhi's main force, starting the first battle of the main forces in Jizhou.
The Yellow Turban Army attacked the city with several times the number of troops.
In the end, the Yellow Turban army was defeated. After several attacks, the Yellow Turban army suffered heavy losses, but Handan was unbreakable.
The casualty ratio of both sides reached an astonishing 1:5.
Zhang Jiao felt that he could not take down Handan, so he had to retreat to Guangping and Quliang. He wanted to lure Lu Zhi's main army to attack, trying to use the strong city to consume the official army's strength. At the
same time, he restrained Lu Zhi, and then ordered Zhang Yan's troops to attack Wei County and Ye City with all their strength, trying to cut off Lu Zhi's retreat.
In order to open the passage to Hanoi.
Lu Zhi understood Zhang Jiao's intentions and sent 10,000 troops to Ye City to reinforce the garrison. At the same time, he ordered the clan members not to underestimate the enemy.
He himself led his troops to attack Quliang.
In the past five days, under Lu Zhi's systematic attacks, Quliang had suffered great losses.
Even if the Yellow Turban Army was defending the city, they could only pull the casualty ratio to 3:1.
Yes! The Yellow Turban army did not lose three people, and the government army lost one.
This was a city defense battle.
In addition, after a few days, Quliang's rations had almost reached their limit.
There wasn't much food here, and it was already the limit for the 400,000 soldiers to last for a few days.
In these few days, Luo Xuan's troops were sent by Lu Zhi to continuously harass Quliang and Guangping's grain routes.
Stop the Yellow Turban Army from sending supplies to Quliang.
Luo Xuan was naturally happy. He couldn't possibly use cavalry to attack the city, right?
Wasn't that nonsense?
The best way was to make the best use of everything and everyone's talents.
Lu Zhi was obviously very good at this.
