Fall in love with the technology tree [Three Kingdoms]

Time has slipped into summer, and dark clouds are hanging over Yingshui.Blue-purple lightning flashed one after another, as if drawing the root system of the end-time tree on the sky.

The once prosperous Yingchuan county town has been dilapidated, and it looks like a ghost town under the crackling rain.The heavy rain washed away the bloodstains in the streets and alleys, and also turned the smoky traces on the city walls into black mud.Corpses were scattered all over the prefect's mansion; and the granary was smashed into an obvious big hole, and there was no grain bag inside, only a little corn was scattered on the straw, which was so dirty that it could not be seen after being trampled on.

Even so, there were two dirty beggars lying on the ground looking for food, and when they found one, they mixed it with dirt and stuffed it into their mouths, and then showed a creepy and satisfied smile.

The sound of horseshoes from far to near, bang bang stepping on mud and rain, mixed with the sound of metal collisions, was uniform.Looking west, the black cavalry has climbed over the damaged city wall and galloped along the main road towards the granary.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, water was still worn, and black was worn.

The beggars panicked and took off the colorless yellow scarves on their heads, and wanted to run as soon as they rolled in the mud.Before taking a few steps, one of them was pierced through the throat by a cold arrow.The blood-stained corn kernels are reflected on the shining iron arrowhead, which is an indescribable irony.

"Ah." The death of his companion brought great panic, causing the surviving refugees to fall to the ground with weak hands and feet.

The archer patted his horse forward and was about to shoot another arrow when he was stopped by his own general. "Cao Jiu, come back."

Cao Jiu received his bow: "My lord?"

Cao Cao's armor was soaked by the heavy rain, water dripped down the bridge of his nose, but his voice was low and steady: "What I'm looking for is the main force of the rebels led by Bo Cai, so I can save myself so I can ask for directions." He used The long halberd was pressed against the refugee's neck, and he spoke in Yingchuan dialect: "Let me ask you, where is the main force of the Yellow Turban?"

As soon as the refugee's eyes rolled half a circle, a bloodstain appeared on his neck.

"I... I said, they robbed food, grass, money and silk, and headed north."

Cao Cao didn't move.

"General, what I said is true. We are just here to pick up some leftovers..."

Cao Cao glanced at the refugee's waist rope, mixed with gold thread, it was not something he could have.The halberd slashed across, and the blood sprayed on the street, which was diluted by the rain into bright red in an instant.

"Let's go." Cao Cao turned his horse's head and ordered the cavalry, "The county city has been broken, go north to investigate."

He walked resolutely, and did not give the Yingchuan prefect's mansion who had been killed a superfluous look.A long time ago, he and A Sheng lived here together, it was a period of peaceful and happy teenage years.However, it has been 18 years since Cao Bao passed away, and the prefect's mansion has been modified by many masters, and it is no longer what he remembered.

What is more important now is to put down the Yellow Turban.

Unlike the mob that grabs and runs in the usual concept, the Yellow Turban Army has a main force.Although it is said that the eight prefectures are attacking the city and conquering the territory, there are only two elite troops of the Yellow Turban: one is in the Julu headquarters, led by the Zhang Jiao brothers;

If Ah Sheng were here, she would definitely say that the program of the Yellow Turban Army had failed.The history of thousands of years has proved that if the peasant uprising is to succeed, it must not accumulate grain and build walls, but must take the route of encircling the city from the countryside.But the choice of the Yellow Turban Army was not to attack the city, they chose to attack the capital!Isn't this hell mode?

The formation of troops in the Eastern Han Dynasty also centered on guarding Luoyang.

General He Jin was stationed at Xuanyuan Pass, blocking the dangerous road for the Yellow Turban to enter Beijing.Huangfusong led a large force to a decisive battle with the Yellow Turban in Yingchuan.As for Lu Zhi, who went to Jizhou to find Zhang Jiao to fight, what he got was the fifth battalion of the imperial army, plus a permit to recruit troops by himself.Although it is not for him to let himself go as a polished commander, but the degree of attention is not as high as that of Huangfu Song's department.

First wipe out the Yellow Turbans in Yingchuan who are going to attack the capital, and the crisis in Luoyang is resolved, and then Zhang Jiao, who is free to control Jizhou.As for the Yellow Turbans in other states, let your localities fend for themselves.Although the imperial court's thinking was rascal and irresponsible, it really hit the yellow scarf army's deathbed.

Who told them to look for Luo Yang so hard.

If the Yellow Turban is going to Luoyang, it is impossible to travel too far, and it is even more impossible to take a long march around half of China.So Cao Cao's vanguard ran for a day and found the camp of the main force of the Yellow Turbans.Fifty miles northeast of the county town, on the plain at the foot of Mount Song, there are hundreds of thousands of yellow scarves gathered.And more people who have lost their land are still being coerced by them.

The yellow turbans merged into a spectacular ocean, spreading out in patches under the sunset after the heavy rain, which made people tremble with fear.Cao Cao never knew that there were so many yellow dyes in the Eastern Han Dynasty to dye their headscarves.

The Yellow Turban Army apparently also discovered the imperial troops, and they surrounded them in a big way, forming an encirclement circle by virtue of their superiority in numbers.The two sides engaged in a local battle against the sunset.

Cao Cao did not go out.He has just completed a full day of exploration in the rain, and he should take turns in the Chinese army in consideration of the physical strength of the horses and the distribution of duties.In the battle of tens of thousands of people against tens of thousands, the contact surface is so small, and it is common for the troops in the rear to take a shower, eat and rest.

Cao Cao dug out slices of ginger from his luggage, cooked a large pot of ginger soup in the camp, and distributed it to the cavalry who had just marched in the rain.Health is the first priority when sending troops abroad. Of course, his own soldiers have to live a little more carefully.The wet clothes were roasted over the fire, and some rice soup was boiled to drink. When the night fell, everyone put on dry armor and was ready to go.

At this time, the troops who fought against the Yellow Turban Army in front also came back one after another.The battle damage has reached an astonishing [-]%.

"Although the enemy is poorly equipped, they are numerous and fearless." The wounded reported.

Huangfusong looked at the yellow scarf army who retreated to the camp honestly despite being a bit messy, and sighed: "Bo Cai leads a group of rioters but advances and retreats with restraint. This person should not be underestimated. The enemy is outnumbered, and this battle will be difficult."

All the militants in the army had been beaten to death just now, and no one said anything at this time, and they all depended on Huangfusong to make up their minds.It was Cao Cao who cupped his hands and said, "There are so many people in the Yellow Turbans, so they must consume a lot of food. I don't think they seem to be restrained in lighting fires and cooking in their camps. Yingchuan has been hit by disasters for years, and the treasury is empty. Even if they rob the county How long will the granary last? Moreover, the farmers nearby are all coerced, and the fields are uncultivated, so there is no chance of a harvest this year. If there is a long-term confrontation, when the Yellow Turbans are hungry and cold in autumn and winter, the soldiers will lose their morale, and they can be defeated with one blow."

Huangfusong nodded approvingly at Cao Cao: "If you can't attack by force, it's better to stick to it."

Cao Cao was even more happy when he was encouraged: "I am willing to lead an army to attack the Yellow Turban grain and grass."

Huangfu Song waved his hand: "For the time being, build a strong city and garrison it first." The food and grass at home are hidden first, and then we can talk about grabbing the food and grass on the opposite side.Huangfusong led the generals to unfold the map under the lights, and Cao Cao helped to eliminate the dilapidated counties around them one by one, and finally selected the location of Changsha.

In the night, the Han army began to move.Most of the Yellow Turbans were peasants who did not eat well and had a high rate of night blindness, so they could only defend in the camp at night.As the elite of the central government, the food situation of the Han army is much better, and it can survive the march at night.

The 4 horses could not be transferred in one night, so they were divided into three nights.During the daytime, the camp tents were not dismantled, the fire was not reduced, and the camp guards kept shouting towards the opposite side, creating an illusion that the army was still there.In fact, the vanguard has already moved to Changshe, and has begun to cut down trees and build fortifications.

On the third night, the cavalry led by Cao Cao was in the rear.Huangfusong rode with his personal guards and mixed with the team.

"Why should the general take the risk himself?" After leaving the camp for half an hour, the light of the torches could not be seen before Cao Cao took out the long wooden stick he had in his mouth and said, "The general should have left yesterday."

Huangfusong looked very relaxed, and patted the little brother from Liangzhou on the shoulder: "I know that Meng De is dedicated to his duty. But as the chief general, how can I leave the food and go first?"

Cao Cao was still angry with himself, and murmured softly, "You just think of me as a child under Ran Minggong's tent!" Huangfusong's eyes drifted, and he couldn't laugh "hahaha" during the march, so he could only find a topic to divert Cao Cao's attention Li: "I remember that Meng De's hometown is in Yuzhou."

At this time, the cavalry troops were walking on the barren fields, and there were no traces of the official road for a long time. Only a river in front reflected sparkling ripples under the moonlight.Linhe was supposed to be fertile land, but apart from the wildly growing weeds, there were bones that had rotted for an unknown amount of time.As soon as the horse's hoof stepped on the ribs, it shattered, leaving only a snow-white skeleton, which was kicked away by a certain army horse.

"Uncle and grandfather used to be the prefect in Yingchuan." Cao Cao said in a low voice, with a heavy tone that could not be removed, "My second brother and I came here to study when we were young. At that time, Yingchuan was thriving, and private schools on both sides of Yingshui River were prosperous. Zhou Yin sings outing and burns incense, it is really an elegant place..."

The diversion seems to be going in a worse direction.Huangfusong sighed: "Wait until the moth thieves are wiped out..." He stopped after speaking, even if the Yellow Turban was wiped out, how easy would it be to restore Yingchuan to its former prosperity?Not to mention the eunuch group that still held power, even the emperor himself, who was seriously injured, refused to let go of the party's restraint.In other words, the emperor refused to lift the party because he was seriously injured.His fear of party members is so deep that he dare not leave the situation of a party member looking around to the underage new emperor.

In the end Huangfusong could only say: "Moth thief is hateful."

Cao Cao nodded: "The moth thief is hateful."

It seems that as long as there are no moth thieves, the world will be peaceful.But they all know that this is a false proposition.

In mid-June, Huangfu Song's army moved to Changsha, and built a strong city to confront Yingchuan Yellow Turban.They gathered enough food and clothing, and planned to persist until winter before going to fight the Yellow Turban Army who lacked food and clothing.However, the plan could not keep up with the changes, and a strong wind blew one day in July.
