Chapter 185, troubled times will rise(2/2)
Unlike Dong Zhuo who reached a peace agreement, Zhang Yan is fighting hard. He is now trying to occupy a large territory before Liu Bei arrives so that he can fight Liu Bei. Last year, he was defeated by Liu Bei because of the betrayal of the Jizhou Army.
I feel unwilling.
During this year, he established contact with Xu Wei, exchanged money and food for refugees, exchanged a large number of weapons and armor from Xu Wei, and at the same time sent hundreds of people to Mayi to learn how to lead troops in war.
These generals, who had learned the basic experience of leading troops in combat for a year, returned to the Taihang Mountains after studying for a year, and became the commanders of the Yellow Turban Army, military commanders and other grassroots commanders. They brought discipline to Zhang Yan's troops.
It also brings organizational strength.
In fact, the combat effectiveness of a large army does not depend on talented commanders, but on a group of qualified commanders, army commanders and other grassroots commanders.
Because any commander needs to control the army through the military commander and the military commander. A high-quality military commander and military commander must know military law, obey orders, understand orders, and at the same time make the soldiers obey orders. With this
A group of highly qualified military commanders and other grassroots officers, even if they lead a group of refugees, they will quickly develop combat effectiveness.
In fact, most people in the Yellow Turban Army are not afraid of death. Sometimes death is a kind of relief for them. However, the main reason why the Yellow Turban Army cannot form combat effectiveness is that their grassroots officers are too poor. Once they lose, they will be completely defeated. And then most of the grassroots
All the officers died, which made the Yellow Turban Army a disposable army. The officers had no way to accumulate experience and pass on this experience. This is the biggest chronic problem of the Yellow Turban Army's low combat effectiveness!
And now Xu Wei has helped the Yellow Turban Army to make up for this weakness. A large number of grassroots officers have enriched the Yellow Turban Army. Now Zhang Yan's army has set up a formation, and it finally looks like an army. Each military formation is like a square. Who can see it?
It should also be said that this is an elite division, and it is also the reason why Zhang Yan has the confidence to fight Liu Bei.
It's just that Zhang Yan has confidence, but the generals of the Yellow Turban Army have no confidence now. They have suffered too many defeats in recent years, and they have suffered too badly. Hundreds of thousands or even millions of people died every time.
The tribesmen have to fight such a defeat almost every year. No matter how strong their confidence is, they don't have much confidence to dare to face the attack of the Han Dynasty. If they had not had to fight, many people would give up and become generals!
So when they heard that Liu Bei had arrived in Jizhou with an army of 100,000 men, the Yellow Turban generals looked solemn. Their first thought was to flee to the Taihang Mountains immediately, since they had already robbed enough.
They really didn't have the confidence to fight Liu Bei, especially in the Jizhou War last year. Liu Bei's cavalry made them frightened and they didn't dare to resist at all. Although they also saw that the strength of the Yellow Turban Army had skyrocketed after Lei Gong helped them train officers, but they
I don’t think the current Yellow Turban Army will be a match for Liu Bei’s 100,000-strong army!
Wang Dang saw that his companions all felt guilty, stood up and pointed at them and said angrily: "What do you mean, are you trying to escape again?"
Wulu whispered: "Even if we have an army of 300,000, most of them are victims of the disaster and are a complete mob. How can we be the opponent of Liu Bei's army of 100,000? We don't want to escape, but what should we do if we are not as strong as others? Are we allowed to follow?
Our victims died under Liu Bei's cavalry!"
Zhang Yan also closed her eyes helplessly.
Yes! There have been too many defeats, and everyone has lost confidence. Now they want to take advantage when they see an advantage, and they want to run away when they see difficulties!
Wang Dang said angrily: "Escape, we can escape to wherever we can. There are more than 2 million people relying on us now. One Taihang Mountain can feed so many tribesmen. Only by defeating Liu Bei and occupying Jizhou can everyone survive!"
Ping Han said: "Why can't you survive? The Thunder Lord in Mayi has been recruiting refugees. In the past, one could be sold for thousands of dollars. Now even if it is more, we can sell each one for 100 dollars at most. In this way, we can get a lot of money, and
Lei Gong can also gain a large number of followers, and the victims of the disaster can survive. This can be said to kill three birds with one stone. It is not much better than fighting Liu Bei to the death. If we really beat Liu Bei, I will agree to fight, even if there is a half chance, I will
A battle! "It's a pity that we all know that we don't even have a 10% chance of winning against Liu Bei's 100,000 army, so why bring everyone to death!"
Wang Dang said angrily: "You actually want to sell your tribe to Lei Gong!"
He drew out the sword in one stroke, as if he wanted to kill someone!
Ping Han immediately knew that he had said the wrong thing. He explained: "What I mean is that everyone can go to Lei Gong to make a living. I don't want to sell my followers!"
Wang Dang said: "Since you like Lei Gong so much, why don't you join Lei Gong? We are the Yellow Turban Army, not the Tengjia Army. If we don't show our majesty, how will we face Lei Gong in the future? Now Lei Gong has also raised troops and is attacking Taiyuan County.
It is not a problem for Lei Gong to occupy the entire Bingzhou, but what will we do then? We still don’t have a single county territory, and we can only become rogue bandits in the Taihang Mountains!"
In fact, there are many people here who want to join Lei Gong. After all, everyone can see that Lei Gong is much stronger than Zhang Yan. It's just that Lei Gong doesn't like them, the commanders of the Yellow Turban Army. If they go to Mayi, they can only start from scratch.
This was something that Qu Shuai who was present could not bear.
Many of their friends went to Mayi, and many of them were even ordinary people in Mayi. They felt that they would not be taken seriously even if they went to Mayi, so they simply stayed here!
Zhang Yan also said loudly: "Why does Lei Gong look down on us? It's because we are a mob. We have tried to form an alliance with him many times, but he has not agreed. Why? He is not worried that we will drag him down. Look, Lei Gong is about to occupy a state now."
, and we still dare not face the Han army directly. If this continues, what is the point of our army? We are just lingering, hiding in the Taihang Mountains. Seeing that the territory occupied by Lei Gong is getting bigger and bigger, we are even further behind.
.Not to mention Lei Gong, even I look down on everyone. It is good that the Han army is strong, but this is not an excuse for us not to fight."
Zhang Yan's words made everyone look ugly. They all remembered that Thunder Lord's Tengjia Army was still the younger brother of the Yellow Turban Army for thousands of years. They could only provide some weapons and armor, and they only dared to hide behind them and watch them fight the Han army, and they just came here now.
How long has it been since the world has passed that Lei Gong has become a famous general who is invincible in every battle, and is now about to occupy a state, but their Yellow Turban Army is getting worse every year, and now even Lei Gong is unwilling to accept them!
So the generals of the Yellow Turban Army shouted one by one: "Fight, fight, fight!"
Chapter completed!
