As one of the close generals around Gongsun Zhu, the relationship between Tian Yu and Gongsun Zhu naturally needs no introduction.
After hearing these words from Gongsun Zhu today, Tian Yu couldn't help but blush, but he didn't refute anything.
Naturally, there are no complaints, but they still feel that Tian Chou is too young and cannot do much, so they need to make more preparations.
In this regard, Gongsun Zhu was just noncommittal.
The war broke out again in Jizhong a few days later. It seemed destined. Gongsun Zhu led his troops and fought all the way around Jixian before meeting the main force of the Yellow Turban Army.
Facing the Yellow Turban rebels who were fierce but obviously weak, Gongsun Zhu was not worried at all.
On the contrary, Gongsun Zhu looked extremely relaxed at this time.
Today's Gongsun Zhu is completely different from when he first left the border.
Not only did he have two thousand fine cavalry who were replenished behind him, but behind him there were nearly ten thousand rebels composed of the Yellow Turbans' defeated army and Youzhou's young men!
Behind them there was also food and grass provided by the Zhao family of Daijun.
Of course, this food and grass will not be provided in vain, except that some refugees and some ownerless land will be given to the Zhao family of Daijun.
This battle is destined to have a lot of credit from him, and Zou Jing has already agreed.
In addition to soldiers, horses, grain and baggage, at this time Gongsun Zhu was surrounded by Tian Yu, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei standing behind him.
Even Zou Jing, the commander of the Northern Army in the imperial court, did not dare to stand in front of Gongsun Zhu at this time.
Looking at the majestic and high-morale Han army, and looking at the Yellow Turban Army on the other side, they can't help but make people sigh a lot.
With the death of Guo Xun and others in the battle, the morale of the Yellow Turban Army did not rise. On the contrary, it began to fall crazily.
Just as Gongsun Zhu analyzed before.
The Yellow Turban Army had no rules at all. Zhang Jiao and his disciples could only cure illnesses and save people. There was a huge difference between this military strategy and general strategy.
What a mess!
In order to expand their power, they almost endlessly coerce the people, and then eat them from place to place.
Not to mention that they had no time to regulate and restore production along the way. Now that they are like this, they have no intention of facing the loess and back to the sky like before!
At this moment, the Yellow Turban Army can no longer become the docile common people it once was.
Because of this, they have no logistical supplies at all.
This also led to them finally breaking through Jixian County, killing the governor of Youzhou and the governor of Guangping County, and opening the treasury of Youzhou.
But I found that the food reserves in Youzhou were... outrageously pitiful!
As a group of farmers, the Yellow Turban Army may never have imagined that Youzhou, where they are now, is famous among the Han Dynasty.
Not only is it one of the Thirteen States of Han Dynasty, but it is also notoriously poor.
It has been an unknown number of years, and Youzhou has been able to feed its people only by getting some rations from the mouths of Qingzhou and Jizhou.
Not just because of natural and man-made disasters, not just because of endless military disasters and border wars.
There are also Youzhou’s unique geographical location and various reasons.
In short, Youzhou cannot survive on its own and has to rely on charity from the other two states.
And this group of Yellow Turbans entered Youzhou like crazy, and then they walked towards a dead end step by step.
Seeing that their food and grass were about to be exhausted, and Youzhou had no way to give them more supplies, there was no time to continue to penetrate into other counties.
Many wealthy families who attacked Guangping County... ended up disastrous.
Aristocratic families are not the same as ordinary people. They have their own forts and are protected by their own loyal soldiers.
Without internal support, Wubao was still very strong, and there was still a lot of food and baggage in the city to support them in the fight.
To put it bluntly, they seemed to be unable to do anything except stare at Wubao.
After attacking more than ten times in a row, they only managed to break through an almost abandoned fort, and only a handful of food and grass were obtained.
In the end, they slaughtered all the Wubao to vent their anger.
At the same time... they could only set their sights elsewhere again, and at this time Guangyang County fell into their eyes.
Unfortunately, this time... their losses were even greater!
The remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, who realized later, could only gather the remaining troops and horses, and then slowly headed towards Guangyang County.
Before they entered Guangyang County, Gongsun Zhu had already brought them to meet with them. At this moment... the two sides officially met on the battlefield.
"kill!"
Gongsun Zhu looked at the yellow scarf army who couldn't help but feel downcast, as if they had lost all hope but were still outnumbered.
A loud shout broke the silence of the scene.
He never liked talking nonsense. Although they were a little tired when they met on the battlefield, he believed that the other side's Yellow Turban Army was even more exhausted.
Following his voice, Gongsun Zhu took the lead in taking the lead with his horse in hand.
Tian Yu followed closely with a spear, guarding beside him, and charged forward.
Soon, three skinny horses also rushed to the front carrying Liu, Guan, and Zhang. The long knives and spears in their hands brought out the sound of hunting.
In an instant, a gap was opened in the Yellow Turban Army's "military formation", and then a group of people rushed in directly through the gap with the cavalry behind them.
The shouts of killing did not stop, Gongsun Zhu and others took the lead and had the upper hand.
But after all, the Yellow Turban bandits are numerous, and it would be a bit of a fantasy to completely defeat them with a simple charge.
Gongsun Zhu and others also knew this very well.
They are just trying to create advantages as much as possible, constantly rushing to kill, and constantly creating opportunities for their soldiers.
At the same time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei charged towards the few yellow scarf soldiers wearing armor.
They don't have the support of the court or the local government, so it's considered normal to be able to wear cloth and ordinary armor.
But if someone is wearing armor...that must be a great figure in the Yellow Turban Army.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei got Gongsun Zhu's order and kept a close eye on those people from the moment they entered the battlefield. They raised their swords and dropped their spears again and again, clearing them all out.
Cleared out their lives....
The war slowly fell into a stalemate, and the Han army charged and killed again and again. Even the brave generals like Guan Zhang were panting at this time.
What's more, soldiers like them are just ordinary people?
One of the tactics that the Yellow Turban Army is best at using is to take advantage of their numerical advantage and fearlessness of death, and then continue to fight with the enemy.
In the end, he was killed by the enemy, and he successfully drained the enemy's physical strength, and then drowned him in the sea of people...
Now this method is suitable!
The Yellow Turban Army, which seemed to be unable to kill them all, kept appearing in front of Gongsun Zhu and others, and their number had reached a certain level.
The weapon in his hand became heavier and heavier, and even the sharp blade began to curl.
But now, they still can only persist.
Just when they were about to lose their hold, the reinforcements Gongsun Zhu had been waiting for finally appeared.
It was a big flag with the word "tian" in it, and it looked like it was homemade.
There were not many soldiers and horses, only about a thousand people, and their clothes were not bad. They were all homemade ordinary armor and homemade weapons.
Looking at the direction in which the reinforcements were coming, it didn't take much thinking to figure out that they were Tian Chou, a famous scholar from Youbeiping.
It's just that these more than a thousand people... Gongsun Zhu really doesn't know what the role of these more than a thousand people is.
Until they rushed in without hesitation and submerged themselves into the Yellow Turban Army, Gongsun Zhu didn't even understand what they were going to do.
A group of people rushed in, and then it ended without even lifting the waves?
This is simply ridiculous, extremely ridiculous!
But just when Gongsun Zhu couldn't help but curse, there was a commotion in the direction where Tian Chou led the troops.
"Run, this big man's soldiers and horses can't be killed, so run~"
