But we have to admit that most of the power and wealth in this world are in the hands of the gentry class.

If he was an enemy of the gentry class, even the emperor would have to be replaced.

This Yellow Turban Uprising seems to be the lower class's resistance to the rule of the Liu family.

The actual fundamental contradiction is the struggle between the peasant class and the local class.

This has been the case for thousands of years under feudal society.

When wealth and power are only in the hands of a few people, and most people can only work as cows and horses in their lives, conflicts will increase day by day until they finally break out.

Therefore, the Yellow Turban Uprising may seem accidental, but in fact it is inevitable.

Even if there was no Yellow Turban Uprising led by Zhang Jiao, there might still be Niujiao and Horsejiao!

"The Yellow Turban uprising was precisely to overthrow the rule of these forces!"

"This will indeed become our biggest obstacle!"

Zhang Jiao was silent for a while and then said.

The gentry class will become their biggest enemy now and in the future.

However, it was the Yellow Turban Army who chose to attack these nobles and local powerful men and robbed a large amount of wealth.

In the end, it was able to develop so rapidly in the early stages of the uprising.

Otherwise, if it expands slowly, the current size of the Yellow Turban Army may not even be half.

At the same time, many player forces have joined the Yellow Turban camp because after joining the Yellow Turbans, they can burn, kill and plunder unscrupulously.

Even if you know there are huge risks.

However, in the face of huge interests, they are willing to take risks.

In the same way, the same goes for those farmers who cannot survive.

However, due to the cycle of cause and effect, the rebel army attacked the gentry class, which also aroused fierce resistance from the other party. They responded to the imperial court's decree and sent troops to fight against the rebel army.

Nowadays, if you want to occupy a county or a county, you will face not only the government, but also a large number of local powerful people.

From the very beginning, Qin Yuan chose a different path from that of the Yellow Turban Army.

He did not exterminate all local powerful people.

Instead, give them a chance.

This also won Qin Yuan a good reputation.

Facing Qin Yuan's army, many powerful locals did not want to fight Qin Yuan to the end. Most of them were inclined to surrender.

This is also the reason why Qin Yuan was able to capture Shanggu County quickly.

If it were another Yellow Turban Qushuai, even if he had the same strength as Qin Yuan, he would probably have to pay an extremely huge price if he wanted to capture Shanggu County.

After all, with the Yellow Turban Army's style of conduct, no matter whether they surrender or not, they will eventually die miserably, with no way to survive.

If that's the case, why don't they resist to the end?

If you keep resisting, you may still survive.

Failure to resist will lead to death.

Zhang Jiao also understands this truth very well.

But he really couldn't control it.

The Yellow Turban Army from all over the country has everyone joining it. It can be said that they are a mixed bag.

Among them are not only players, farmers, but also some bandits and bandits, in the name of the Yellow Turban Army.

Naturally, they could not do it for the great cause of the uprising, but to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune.

But such a force can develop faster.

After all, money and food are very important in a war.

Who has money?

Who has food?

Isn't it just in the hands of local powerful people?

If you don’t rob them, who else can you rob?

"Now that we have reached this stage, even if we want to unite the gentry class, it is simply impossible to do so!"

Zhang Jiao said to Qin Yuan.

The two sides have become enemies.

At this time, even if they can control the actions of the Yellow Turban Army under their command, the noble class will no longer trust the Yellow Turban Army.

Another point is that just like the gentry class in Youzhou, even if they finally had no choice but to seek refuge with Qin Yuan, they did not think from the bottom of their hearts that this uprising could overthrow the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, even if the Yellow Turban Army changed its attitude towards the gentry, it was impossible to win their support.

"Okay!"

"Then let's talk about the fourth point!"

Qin Yuan didn't care.

Because he had already seen the disadvantages of this when talking to Liu Bowen before.

However, just like the general trend of the world, even if it is discovered, it is difficult to change.

"This is related to the second point!"

"The imperial camp is full of talented people, but the Yellow Turban Army lacks military leaders with strategic minds!"

Qin Yuan looked at Zhang Jiao.

After noticing that he nodded slightly in agreement, he continued.

"The strategic plan for the uprising was not perfect, and the rebel army was not quickly assembled!"

"Now they are operating in isolation in various places, fighting against the imperial army, and there is very little support and cooperation between them!"

"So, it is easy to be defeated by the imperial army one by one!"

"The other thing is that you pay too much attention to the territory you have acquired!"

"Once you capture a city or a place, hold it firmly and never let it go!"

"This has led to head-to-head collisions between the Yellow Turban Army and the imperial army in various places. They are constantly fighting against and consuming each other, competing for strength, financial resources, resources, etc.!"

"But in terms of logistical resources, how can the Yellow Turban Army from all over the country compare to the imperial court!"

Qin Yuan sighed.

The Yellow Turban Army lacked unified command and mutual cooperation, and fought independently. This resulted in the isolation and fragmentation of the battlefield, which was defeated by the enemy's dominant main force.

Do not understand the importance of adopting mobile warfare, guerrilla warfare and other mobile warfare forms when the enemy is strong and we are weak,

Therefore, he was keen on attacking and defending the city. He locked the main force of the rebel army in one place, fought a tough battle with the enemy, and exhausted himself until he exhausted his combat power and was defeated.

These were serious strategic and combat guidance mistakes by the rebels, and they were also the main reasons that directly led to the tragic failure of this vigorous peasant revolutionary war!

Qin Yuan's analysis was very detailed, pointing directly to the shortcomings and weaknesses of the Yellow Turban Army.

This was all thanks to the late-night in-depth communication with Liu Bowen when I came to Guangzong City.

That's why he was able to say it so smoothly and clearly.

After Zhang Jiao heard this, he fell into deep contemplation.

He was aware of these shortcomings, but Qin Yuan explained them in detail this time, which had a huge impact on him.

Perhaps it was these many reasons that led to the failure of the Yellow Turban Uprising.

After all, such a large-scale uprising cannot be caused by just one or two small reasons.

It's all caused by a combination of various factors.

Even the death of Zhang Jiao was the same.

Historically, Zhang Jiao died of illness during the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

However, the Yellow Turban Uprising was not suppressed after Zhang Jiao's death. Zhang Bao, Zhang Liang and other Yellow Turban Qu commanders continued to fight for several months before they were finally eliminated.

There are even many Yellow Turban rebellious parties left in various places. After several years of development, another wave of Yellow Turban rebellion was set off.

A long talk all night long.

The next day.

Zhang Jiao summoned all the generals and decided to appoint Qin Yuan as the Celestial Master of Taiping Taoism, with a status second only to Zhang Jiao.

In addition, he became the general marshal of the Yellow Turban Army and controlled Guangzong and the Yellow Turban Army in various places. All generals and armies were under the jurisdiction of Qin Yuan.

However, this position has more name than real power.

After all, many armies were controlled by the Yellow Turban generals and Qu Shuai, and were even led by them single-handedly.
