Chapter 89: The Yellow Turbans Are Defeated

Chapter 88: The Yellow Turbans Will Be Defeated

“There are nine reasons why the Yellow Turbans will fail.”

“First, the overall quality of the Yellow Turban Army is too low. Although the Yellow Turbans are currently strong, they are like a taut string. It only takes one big defeat to ruin all their advantages.”

Hearing this, Qin Hao couldn't help but nodded. The overall quality of the Yellow Turban Army was indeed too low. How could the quality of an army of one million people formed in a hurry be high?

 Low quality also means poor military discipline. In the Yellow Turban Army, although Zhang Jiao and various major channel commanders have implemented bans at all levels, incidents such as disturbing the people are still banned repeatedly.

If things go on for a long time, the Yellow Turban Army will lose the support of the people, and the people's support is the foundation for the Yellow Turbans. If it loses the support of the people and without the support of the people, it will only be a matter of time before the Yellow Turbans perish!

Of course, the low quality of the army also means that its combat effectiveness is weak. This is the biggest reason why Qin and Wen's 30,000 elites were able to easily defeat Fang La's 80,000 army head-on, and also dared to plan to ambush Fang La and Zhang Xianzhong's 100,000 coalition troops. .

 As for the current three major battles, although the Yellow Turbans have an advantage, they only rely on their numerical advantage. If they lose a game casually, they may be defeated by the Han Dynasty one by one.

What Wang Meng said is absolutely correct. The Yellow Turban is like a tight string, but a small setback cannot withstand a big defeat.

On the contrary, the Han Dynasty was different. With Hulao Pass and the natural danger, the Han Dynasty could hide behind the pass and maintain an invincible situation.

Although the Han Dynasty looked dangerous from the situation, as long as the Yellow Turbans could not break Hulao Pass, they would not be able to enter Sizhou, thus threatening the imperial capital Luoyang.

"Second, the Yellow Turbans have insufficient foundation. At the beginning of the Yellow Turbans uprising, there were one million troops. Now the Yellow Turbans have over ten million followers, but they still only have one million troops. My lord, does your lord know why the Yellow Turbans don't expand their army?"

 “Grain and grass!” Qin Hao said directly without even thinking about it.

"Yes, the army of one million is so huge that even the imperial court cannot afford it, let alone the Yellow Turbans. The Yellow Turban army is huge in number, but the only way to obtain food and grass is to capture and plunder."

"How can it be possible to supply millions of troops for a long time? Therefore, I can conclude that the Yellow Turbans will soon run out of food, and then the imperial court will counterattack."

In fact, Qin Hao also knew this, but he did not come up with it himself. He came to it after analyzing the information passed by the Jinyiwei spies.

However, Wang Meng analyzed it on his own without any information. It can be seen that there is still a big gap between top wise men like Qin Hao and Wang Meng.

“Thirdly, Zhang Jiao has no children, his successor is vacant, internal fighting continues, and the contradictions have long been irreconcilable. Once Zhang Jiao dies, the Yellow Turbans will surely fall into internal fighting.”

Hearing this, Qin Hao couldn't help but sincerely admire Wang Meng. At the same time, he also had more questions in his heart, so he asked: "Sir, how do you know that the people in the Yellow Turban are not unified?"

The internal information of the Yellow Turbans is top secret. As Wang Wangmeng, it is impossible to know it. How did this analysis come from?

Wang Meng smiled lightly when he heard this and said: "It's very simple. Hong Xiuquan is the most vocal among Zhang Jiao's disciples, but Xiang Yu is Zhang Jiao's prospective son-in-law. Does your lord know where Zhang Jiao sends these two men?"

 Hong Xiuquan attacked Yangzhou and Xiang Yu attacked Xuzhou.

"Yes, Yangzhou is located in the southeast and is a remote place. Even if everyone goes there, it will not be a big achievement for the Yellow Turbans, so Hong Xiuquan is not Zhang Jiao's candidate for successor."

 “What about Xiang Yu?”

"Xuzhou is a wealthy place in the Central Plains. Capturing it is indeed a great achievement. However, Xiang Yu is not the Yellow Turban general of Xuzhou. Zhang Jiao only sent him to capture the land of Danyang. Therefore, although Xiang Yu is Zhang Jiao's son-in-law, he is not in Zhang Jiao's heart. The choice of successor.”

After listening to Wang Meng's words, Qin Hao suddenly realized something: "So the heir in Zhang Jiao's heart is actually Huang Chao."

Qin Hao never expected that Zhang Jiao would be so selfless, not passing on his son-in-law, younger brother, or apprentice. He actually wanted to pass the position to Huang Chao, who had nothing to do with him. But this is also a way to bring disaster. Huang Chao is not Zhang Jiao, and Xiang Yu and Hong Xiuquan cannot obey him.

"Zhang Jiao led two brothers to attack Jizhou, and later sent Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang to take charge of Qingzhou and Youzhou. However, he sent Huang Chao to attack Yanzhou. It turned out that he wanted Huang Chao to take the greatest credit, so that he could eventually support Huang Chao to rise to power. , Zhang Jiao is such an old fox." Qin Hao said slowly to himself, and at this moment he finally understood and figured out all Zhang Jiao's previous arrangements.

Yanzhou is the closest to Sizhou and is at the center of the Yellow Turban Uprising. Here the Yellow Turbans can concentrate superior forces in the shortest time, and then use Yanzhou as a base to directly attack Sizhou. If they can finally break through the Han capital Luoyang, Huang Chao will be the biggest contributor to the Yellow Turbans Well, with this merit, at least most of the Yellow Turban commanders will not say anything anymore!

"However, Huang Chao encountered General Lu Zhi, who was the most experienced in using troops among the three generals, so he was unable to capture Yanzhou quickly, which made Zhang Jiao's plan fail." Wang Meng said with some regret.

"Today's Yellow Turbans are roughly divided into three factions, Hong Xiuquan, Xiang Yu and Huang Chao. Hong Xiuquan has the support of most of Zhang Jiao's disciples, Xiang Yu has Xiang Yan as his backing, and Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang will definitely support Huang Chao, so once Zhang Jiao dies , the Yellow Turbans will surely split and be defeated one by one by the imperial court sooner or later.”

"fourth…"

 …

“Ninth, and most importantly, the Yellow Turban Uprising was a civilian uprising, so at the beginning of the uprising, it was destined to stand on the opposite side of the aristocratic families in the world. The aristocratic families would never sit back and watch the Yellow Turban Army, the untouchables they looked down upon, gain the world.”

 Speaking of this, Wang Meng couldn't help but a trace of ridicule flashed at the corner of his mouth.

“When the imperial court really cannot hold on any longer, the aristocratic families in the occupied areas may remain indifferent in order to protect themselves, but the aristocratic families in the unoccupied areas will definitely help the imperial court. They will give people to others, money to money, and grain to grain.”

The relationship between the Yellow Turbans and the aristocratic families is very special. For small and medium-sized families that do evil, the Yellow Turbans have always directly eliminated them, but they are more tolerant of big families. After all, the power of big families is not small, and the relationship is complicated. If you offend one, you will be a group. Before the Han Dynasty was destroyed, Zhang Jiao did not want to make too many enemies.

Although the Yellow Turbans temporarily spared the noble families, the noble families did not appreciate it. So far, few noble families have taken the initiative to seek refuge. The Yellow Turbans' hot faces have been against the noble families' cold butts, and the noble families have also missed their only chance to reconcile with the Yellow Turbans.

There was a hint of coldness in the corner of Wang Meng's mouth, and he continued: "But now the Yellow Turbans can no longer wait for that time. Now the day when the Yellow Turbans will run out of food is coming to an end. Instead of being defeated because of the lack of food, it is better to obtain food and grass by any means."

Qin Hao was horrified when he heard this: "Sir, are you saying that the Yellow Turbans will seize food from aristocratic families?"

 “That’s right.”

“Isn’t this drinking poison to quench thirst?”

 “Zhang Jiao has no choice.” Wang Meng said calmly.

 Qin Hao lowered his head when he heard this. Yes, he would do the same thing. He really had no choice!

“The aristocratic families in the enemy-occupied areas will definitely suffer heavy losses, but at the same time, it will also strengthen the determination of the aristocratic families in the world to share the same enemy. But standing on the opposite side of the aristocratic families in the world, the Yellow Turbans are doomed to fail, and no one can stop this.”

 …

Originally, Qin Hao did not think that the Yellow Turbans would definitely fail, because the talent lineup of the Yellow Turbans in this era is too strong.

But after listening to Wang Meng's nine-point theory that the Yellow Turbans were bound to fail, Qin Hao understood that the Yellow Turban Army, which stood on the opposite side of the aristocratic family, was doomed to fail from the beginning of the uprising. This was something that no one could reverse.

  No matter how powerful a person is, he cannot fight against the world, and in this era, aristocratic families are the world.
