In a major defeat, the Yellow Turbans not only ruined Jizhou, but also almost ruined Zhang Jiao's hope of exterminating the Han Dynasty.
The victory of this battle was equivalent to the Battle of Changshe in original history, and it formed a turning point in the war situation.
In original history, after the Battle of Changshe, the Yellow Turban Army suffered numerous casualties, and the Yellow Turban Army on the South Road was severely weakened. From then on, the Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan, Jingzhou and other places could no longer make trouble.
But in the current battle of Yecheng, the Yellow Turbans have almost lost all their fighting strength on the northern route, and the Yellow Turban forces in the northern states can no longer make any big waves.
The news that Zhang Jiao, the great sage and mentor of the Yellow Turbans' spiritual belief, and Chi You, the recognized god of war of the Yellow Turbans, were all defeated, will surely cause chaos among the Yellow Turban troops everywhere. The morale of the army is in chaos, no matter how powerful the Yellow Turban army is, it will be of no use. Contrary to the Yellow Turbans, once the Han armies all over the world heard this news, their morale would definitely rise and their previous dejection would be swept away.
While Jizhou was experiencing successive battles and the Han army was establishing a chance of victory, the rest of the states in the world were not at peace either, and the wars in each state began to undergo new changes.
In Youzhou, Liu Bang and Qin Zheng faced each other in Yuyang County with Peng Yue and Zhang Han as their generals respectively.
However, Liu Bang still had the remaining forces of Yellow Turban Cheng Yuanzhi lingering on, while Qin Zheng was eager to stabilize the newly occupied counties. Therefore, the two forces are still very restrained for the time being. Although small conflicts between hundreds and thousands of people continue, no major battles involving tens of thousands of people have broken out.
But it is conceivable that whether Liu Bang takes the lead in solving the remaining Yellow Turban forces in Youzhou, or Qin Zheng straightens out the six counties in Youzhou that he occupied, neither side will give up. By then, a new round of war will inevitably break out.
Bingzhou, Bingzhou has the Yellow River to the south and mountains to the east and west. Although it is not like Yizhou, which is surrounded by mountains on all sides, it can definitely be said to have the benefit of both mountains and rivers. Qin Qiong mobilized 30,000 troops to strictly guard Huguan. With the help of the geographical advantage, even Wang Qing's 200,000 troops were helpless.
Wang Qing could not break through Qin Qiong's defense, while Qin Qiong had few soldiers and could only defend, but not take the initiative to attack. Therefore, the situation here is also relatively deadlocked.
However, as Su Lie's army is about to arrive, it doesn't take much to think that the situation here is about to change.
With Wang Qing's ability, without the superiority of troops, it would be difficult to face either Qin Qiong or Su Lie alone, let alone the two of them working together.
The land of Qingzhou has completely become a world dominated by the Yellow Turbans and the rebel kings, and the power of the Han Dynasty has become useless.
The Yellow Turban forces headed by the Yellow Turban Lord General Zhang Bao occupied the Qingbei area, while the anti-Han alliance such as Guo Wei and Dou Jiande occupied the Qingnan area. The remaining Han forces could only survive between the two parties.
In the land of Yanyu, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun used 120,000 troops and an allied force of 80,000 aristocratic families, a total of 200,000 troops to fight against the nearly six soldiers of Renggong General Zhang Liang and Zhang Jiao's other adopted son Zhang Dingbian. An army of one hundred thousand.
Fortunately, the powerful families in the Central Plains had strong support for Huangfu Song when he needed money or food. The Han Dynasty was able to hold on until now.
However, the behavior of the Zhongyuan family also completely angered Zhang Liang and others. From then on, as long as the Yellow Turbans caught the family members, they would all be slaughtered regardless of the reason. For a time, the power of the Central Plains family was once again greatly damaged, but this also intensified the family's determination to help the court put down the Yellow Turbans.
In the land of Yangzhou, Hong Xiuquan's development was going smoothly, and the army was unstoppable wherever it passed, but it finally encountered Waterloo in the land of Wujun.
Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang's identity in this life was countless times stronger than that in his previous life. He directly became the eldest son of the Zhu family in Yangzhou. Coupled with the continuous display of Emperor Hongwu's abilities, he was quickly cultivated as the heir by the head of the Zhu family.
Although Yangzhou was relatively poorly developed during the Three Kingdoms period, it was slightly desolate compared to the states north of the Yangtze River. But as one of the four major families in Jiangdong, the Zhu family naturally has strength. Therefore, the starting capital of Emperor Hongwu in this life is completely different from that in the previous life.
Although Zhu Wuzhang was ambitious, he also hoped that the Yellow Turban would consume all the great man's heritage and create opportunities for himself to succeed in the future, so he also secretly helped the Yellow Turban.
But as a child of an aristocratic family, he is naturally on the opposite side of the Yellow Turban. Therefore, when the time was almost right, Zhu Yuanzhang had already decided to raise troops to respond to the imperial court's fight against the Yellow Turbans.
On the one hand, the last trace of vitality of the big man has been almost consumed. For Zhu Yuanzhang, the Yellow Turban has lost its use value. On the other hand, the performance of the Yellow Turbans was a bit shocking, and Zhu Yuanzhang was also a little worried that the Yellow Turbans could really go against the odds.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang had just formed a rebel army and was preparing to send troops. However, before Zhu Yuanzhang could set out, Hong Xiuquan took the lead in rebelling. First, he established himself as the king and occupied counties and counties wantonly. Immediately afterwards, Hong Xiuquan sent Shi Dakai to attack Wu County.
Shi Dakai was one of the top generals during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, so he was naturally very capable. He naturally understood the principle of using all your strength when a lion fights a rabbit. Along the way, we must go all out to deal with any resistance forces without any carelessness. But the fact that the general is cautious does not mean that the people below are the same as the general.
Since its inception, the Taiping Army has won successive battles and has become a proud force. From the generals to the soldiers at the bottom, they did not take any resistance forces in Yangzhou into consideration.
Shi Dakai led an army of 50,000 to attack Wu Commandery, but he never thought that just as he entered Wu Commandery, he had already received news that all 8,000 forward troops had been wiped out. After finally regaining the morale of the army, I never thought that Zhu Yuanzhang was not a simple man. Even though Shi Dakai had strong troops, he could not win for a long time, and sometimes Zhu Yuanzhang would even seize the opportunity to lose a small battle.
In the north of Jingzhou, after completely capturing Nanyang, the Southern Yellow Turban Army led by Zhang Mancheng sent troops to Xiangyang. On the other hand, Zhang Mancheng personally led the army to attack Xuanyuan Pass, intending to directly threaten Luoyang, the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty.
But he never thought that Zhang Mancheng sent troops in two directions, but neither direction went smoothly. First, the troops marching into Xiangyang were blocked from the new field by the new Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, unable to advance or retreat.
Zhang Mancheng himself faced Ding Yuan, the former governor of Bingzhou who was sent by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty to defend Xuanyuan Pass. As a result, Zhang Mancheng was defeated as soon as he arrived at Xuanyuan Pass. Generals Zhao Hong and Han Zhong were killed by Lu Bu's two arrows.
In Jingnan, after Xiang Yan completely digested Lingling County, he followed Fan Zeng's suggestion and began to expand to the other three counties in Jingnan.
At this time, Liu Biao, the herdsman of Jingzhou, was still fighting against the Yellow Turbans in the north of Jingzhou, and did not care about the land in the south of Jingzhou. For a time, the three counties of Wuling, Changsha and Guiyang were in danger.
