Liu Zhang glanced at everyone and began to talk about his knowledge of Taiping Road.
"The birthplace of Taiping Road is in Jizhou, and most of the Yellow Turban elites in Hebei are gathered under the command of the three brothers Zhang Jiao."
"The three men commanded hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, and most of the looted materials were stationed in Guangzong City."
"I wonder if you have noticed that Zhang Jiao personally mobilized the Yellow Turban Army and the fighting power it unleashed was terrifying!"
All the generals nodded slightly. They fought with him several times and were deeply touched!
This time the Yellow Turban Army's combat power is obviously much stronger than before!
"The disadvantage of our army is that it has too few troops, not even a fraction of the Yellow Turban Army. And there are no reinforcements for the time being."
Everyone couldn't help but sigh, feeling very depressed.
In terms of combat effectiveness, the Yellow Turban Army is far inferior to the official army. Because the gap in numbers was too huge, they could only rely on the city to hold on.
Everyone understands this truth, otherwise we wouldn’t have been in a stalemate with the Yellow Turbans for several months.
"Everyone knows what Lieutenant Liu said!"
Liu Bei's words revealed disdain, and he knew this.
Liu Zhang waved his hand to him, signaling him to calm down.
"Do you know the advantages of our army?"
Liu Bei curled his lips and hurriedly answered first.
"Our army's elite officers and soldiers are worth one to a hundred!"
All the generals looked at Liu Bei with contempt on their faces.
This mat weaver and shoe seller really dares to say that if one was really worth a hundred, wouldn't the Yellow Turban thieves have been eliminated long ago?
Although everyone looked down on the Yellow Turban Army, they never dared to be so arrogant!
Lu Zhi didn't even look at Liu Bei. In Lu Zhi's heart, Liu Bei was inherently unrefined.
"Liu Lieutenant, please ignore the idle remarks and continue speaking."
As soon as Lu Zhi said these words, Liu Bei's face turned red instantly and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to burrow into.
Liu Zhang glanced at Liu Bei with admiration. He didn't expect this man to be so thick-skinned! You still have the nerve to stay here.
"The advantage of our army lies in its vast territory, large population, and constant supply of food and grass for the soldiers. It may not be as good as the Yellow Turban Army for a while, but over a long period of time, it will definitely not be comparable to the Yellow Turban Army!"
As soon as Liu Zhang finished speaking, Liu Bei felt like he was enlightened.
yes! Why didn't I think of that!
Everyone seemed to be waking up from a dream, their eyes were bright and they could not help but nod.
"Although the Yellow Turban Army is large in number, all soldiers and civilians are here. One dead, one missing!"
"Hundreds of thousands of mouths open every day. No matter how much food there is, we will never be able to withstand such consumption. We can only sit back and eat!"
"If our army rushes to attack, the Yellow Turbans will definitely share the same hatred and resist vigorously."
"If we just besiege but not attack, the Yellow Turbans will be in chaos as time goes by. By then our army will be waiting for work, how can we not be victorious!"
Liu Zhang was extremely confident in his own strategy. This is how Lu Zhi cannibalized Zhang Jiao in history.
Unfortunately, Lu Zhi offended the eunuch and was escorted back to the capital, where he almost died. Otherwise the Yellow Turban would have been settled months earlier!
"How can our army of 30,000 people besiege Guangzong, who has hundreds of thousands of people? What should we do if the enemy attacks?"
Zhang Fei felt that Liu Zhang was just talking nonsense. There was no reason to surround a large number with a small number!
"Now that the Yellow Turbans are newly defeated and their morale is low, if we march at this time, the Yellow Turbans will not dare to go out of the city to fight with our army!"
"Our army is surrounded by three and one is missing. We have built extensive fortifications. Even if the Yellow Turban thieves leave the city to fight in the field, they will not be able to win."
"The four states in Hebei will receive a steady stream of troops to replenish their forces. If one is declining, the other is increasing, how can we not be victorious!"
Zhang Fei still refused to give up and asked: "There are three people around but one is missing? What if the Yellow Turban escapes through one door?"
Liu Zhang looked at Zhang Fei like an idiot, his eyes full of disdain.
"Have you killed too many pigs? Have you become pig-brained?"
"Hahaha!"
Zhang Fei looked at the laughing crowd, glared at Liu Zhang, and was about to curse.
"Back off!"
Liu Bei grabbed Zhang Fei and explained to him in a low voice.
"Most of the Yellow Turban supplies are stationed in Guangzong. To abandon the city and leave is to destroy yourself."
Lu Zhi took another high look at Liu Zhang, but he did not expect that he would coincide with him.
"Liu Xiaowei's words are very suitable to my liking. Tomorrow we will count the sergeants and go to Guangzong in three days. Then we will dig ditches and besiege Zhangjiao."
Seeing that Lu Zhi had made his decision, Liu Zhang revealed another piece of bombshell news.
"You may not know that Zhang Jiao is seriously ill and his death is imminent!"
"What!"
As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked. Even Lu Zhi looked at Liu Zhang with wide eyes.
"Is this true?"
Zhang Jiao's life and death are too important. He is the spiritual support of the Yellow Turban Army. If he dies, it will definitely cause an uproar!
Liu Zhang nodded heavily and gave Lu Zhi an affirmative look.
"It can be as short as one month, or as long as several months. If you open your horn, you will die!"
Lu Zhi suddenly realized, and suddenly remembered the scene of Zhang Jiao vomiting blood under the city.
"No wonder you were able to deceive me in Pingxiang City. This horn is seriously ill and is really vomiting blood!"
"If Zhang Jiao dies, there will be no need to worry about Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang! If these three people die, the Yellow Turban will be leveled and the world will be safe!"
Liu Zhang looked at the innocent Lu Zhi and smiled secretly in his heart.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion is just the beginning, you are still too bookish.
However, he did not dare to talk nonsense and expressed his full agreement.
"That's right, we can't rush for quick success. All we need to do is besiege Guangzong and wait for Zhang Jiao to die suddenly."
Lu Zhi picked up the wine glass and praised Liu Zhang again.
"Liu Xiaowei is far-sighted and far-sighted, and I am not as good as him."
"Lu Zhonglang, don't be too impatient! Lu Zhonglang has already planned the strategy, Zhang is just conveying it for Lord Zhonglang!"
"Hahahaha, Lieutenant Liu is indeed a talented person in our Han Dynasty!"
"I really don't dare to take this seriously!"
At Lu Zhi's request, Liu Zhang also narrated the story from Luoyang's leadership to the beheading of Bo Cai. The generals were even more impressed by this young general.
The banquet lasted until late at night, until Liu Zhang was drunk and fell to the ground. This time he was really drunk.
At noon on the second day, Liu Zhang slowly woke up.
"Ouch, I have a terrible headache! I can't drink so much in the future. Someone come!"
Two servants came in at the door to help Liu Zhang wash up and get dressed. At this time Taishi Ci walked in.
"Lord, Lu Zhonglang asked you to wake up and go find him."
"Oh? It's Ziyi. Just in time. Go and ask Han Sheng and Er Lai to go with me."
"promise."
Liu Zhang took the three people to Lu Zhi's place. He was going to say goodbye to Lu Zhi. After all, there were more important things to do.
"Meet Lu Zhonglang."
Liu Zhang bowed his hands to Lu Zhi and saluted.
"Liu Lieutenant, there is no need to be polite."
Liu Zhang saw Liu Bei and the others were there and bowed his hands.
"Brother Liu, Brother Guan, Brother Zhang."
Liu Bei and Guan Yu returned the salute, but only Zhang Fei snorted.
Just as Lu Zhi was about to speak, guards suddenly came in to report.
"Report to the general that the angel has arrived in the city and is waiting outside the mansion."
"oh?"
