"Crack, snap."
Every time he lifted his foot and put it down again, he stepped into a pool of blood, which was all sticky.
The drizzle was as thin as a needle, falling on Luo Xiao's face with his visor raised, bringing with it a hint of coolness.
The thick smell of blood couldn't help but attack him. When he looked up, all he could see were corpses lying on the ground, with streaks of red blood gurgling out along with the rain.
Among these corpses, there were many from the Han army, with despair and horror on their faces, but there were more corpses from the Taiping army, with anger on their faces.
This is not the end of the dynasty, and the elite of the Han army is well-deserved to be the best in the world.
If it weren't for the right time, place, and people, and all three of them were on Luo Xiao's side, and if Huangfu Song hadn't expected to change people, it would have been impossible to win this big victory with the Taiping Army's combat power.
A burst of hasty footsteps came, and after a slight tilt, several Qu commanders appeared in front of Luo Xiao, with excited expressions on their faces and said: "General, the general results of the battle are out. The Han Army's Yulin Guards are almost destroyed. All the Three Rivers Knights he belonged to were buried.
The Han court had not suffered such a defeat for many years.
General, do we want to attack Luoyang directly? "
Luo Xiao was not surprised by the number of casualties suffered by the Han court. The casualties of the Taiping Army were even greater, estimated at around 50,000.
But not anymore!
The grassroots organization of the Taiping Army is actually very good. After all, its predecessor was a very large religious group that could organize hundreds of thousands of people to revolt, and there are not just young and middle-aged people in Taiping Road, most of them are members of the same family.
The structure of Taipingdao was originally established to establish an earthly kingdom.
It would be most ridiculous to say that such a group has no grassroots organization.
Luo Xiao is prepared to spend a little time to completely transform the Taiping Army into a more efficient army purely for war.
When the Taiping Army was first established, such an adaptation was the most effective and would have a profound impact on the future.
As for the difficulties you may encounter when adapting, they are not a problem.
Zhang Jiao's prestige is supreme in the Taiping Dao. He has just won a big battle and made bold statements. Now he is a truly great teacher in the eyes of everyone in the Taiping Dao!
It is the light that can lead everyone to break through the darkness!
Luo Xiao was quiet. Ever since he was injured and suddenly recovered that day, the great virtuous master has become more and more immortal, with an inexplicable coercion and aura, which is extremely convincing. Although Qu Shuai He was anxious in his heart, but still quietly waiting for Luo Xiao to speak.
Enter Luoyang?
Luo Xiao turned around and looked at everyone, everyone's eyes were filled with fire.
That's Luoyang, where the king's aura is. If we can enter Luoyang, who can say that we, Taiping Dao, are thieves?
Luo Xiao also wanted to enter Luoyang from the bottom of his heart.
His heart is the heart of all people. In heaven, they worked together to destroy the great man's destiny. Heaven will no longer favor the great man.
But this is not enough, and mortals do not know it.
Therefore, on the ground, Luo Xiao's goal became to destroy the sanctity of Hanting and implement the concept of Hanting losing its destiny into everyone's heart.
But in fact, entering Luoyang is not a particularly good choice, because it is difficult to succeed. There are not only eight passes around Luoyang, but the city of Luoyang itself is also high and thick.
When our ancestors designed the city, they wanted to build a city that would never fall for Bang Zhou.
The best way now is to use Luo Xiao's strong co-ordination ability to develop the Taiping Army in various states on the spot, grow rapidly, and finally use the general trend to overthrow the Han court.
At the same time, the nobles and tyrants of the Han court were eliminated one by one.
But the biggest problem now is that Luo Xiao doesn't know how long he can live. There is definitely no hope of being equal to the world.
But one year and two years, five years and ten years are completely different!
After pondering for a while, Luo Xiao slowly said: "Contact Qu Shuai between prefectures and counties..."
Luo Xiao was talking here, and the literate Taoist priests in Taiping Road memorized it excitedly and quickly. It contained Luo Xiao's strategic plan and the strategic requirements for Qu Shuai from other states and counties.
Because they are so far apart, the Qu commanders have great autonomy, but they cannot deviate from Luo Xiao's overall goal.
…
Luoyang.
Huangfusong escaped into the pass and breathed a sigh of relief. The people around him looked at him nervously, feeling flustered by this defeat and infinitely confused about the future.
Huangfu Song's mentality may be the best among them. He is a real hero.
Seeing everyone's remorseful looks, he immediately scolded: "Everyone, raise your heads, victory or defeat is a common thing for military officers.
How many people in this world have never experienced failure?
If you are upset when you fail, how can you come back?
What we should be thinking about now is not the last failure, but how to survive the accountability of the emperor and the ministers.
How to let the emperor and the ministers know that even though they were defeated, it was not that Huangfu Song was incompetent, but that the Taiping thief Zhang Jiao was too strong. "
Huangfusong was actually not too worried about his own safety.
In the Han Dynasty, there were only a few people who could become governors despite being framed by eunuchs.
Most people, even ministers at the three-gong level, such as Chen Fan, who was famous all over the world, died.
Huangfu Song is not only famous all over the world, but his fighting ability is recognized by the whole court. Such technical talents will always have some privileges.
Especially under the current circumstances, the emperor is not stupid enough to kill a general.
…
The situation in the court was indeed similar to what Huangfu Song expected. After learning of his defeat, the whole court was shocked. With the most elite army of the Han Dynasty, they were defeated by the peasant army. This was simply outrageous.
Some political opponents of Huangfu Song even seized on this point and said that he had ulterior motives and was an insider of the Taiping Army.
But everyone knows that Huangfu Song cannot use his undefeated reputation to do these things.
What good does this do him?
Before going to Hebei, he fought from Luoyang to Nanyang and first pacified the Taiping Army in the Three Rivers.
Moreover, he has a large army in hand. If he attacks Luoyang directly, he will kill the emperor and the ministers at the same time.
How could it be an internal response from the Taiping Army?
Turbulent attacks came towards Huangfu Song, and everyone was criticizing him verbally and demanding that Huangfu Song be severely punished. However, among these attacks, they only talked about severe punishment, but almost no one asked Huangfu Song to pay for his life.
It is typical of loud thunder and light raindrops.
Not only the courtiers outside the palace, but also the eunuchs in the palace.
These eunuchs really wanted to kill Huangfu Song, but the Taiping Army was too close to Luoyang.
In addition to Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and Lu Zhi, one is in Nanyang and the other is in Yangzhou.
The rest of the most capable generals are still in the border counties. Huangfu Song is the strongest general around Luoyang several times.
How dare they kill Huangfu Song?
Faced with this situation, Huangfu Song even wrote a letter calmly: "Now that the country is in turmoil and there is injustice among the states and counties, if a thief contacts Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Liangzhou, Youzhou, etc. The Taiping Army in Zhouzhou, Qingzhou and other places gathered millions of people to jointly attack the Eight Passes. With the current strength of the imperial court, can they hold on?
I thought it was impossible.
Many of the houses of heroes and dignitaries in various states and counties were destroyed by the Taiping Army. They recruited local heroes but were not recognized by the court. So they felt resentful and criticized the court, saying, "The court cannot control thieves, and it suppresses us." Is this not killing someone with a borrowed knife? '
The turmoil during this period can be seen from this, and I am worried that if the shackles of the party are not lifted as soon as possible and the recruitment of local braves is not released, they will alienate the court and even directly join the Taiping Army.
The only solution for the present is to loosen the shackles of the scholar-officials and let the heroes from each state and county lead their own local warriors to wipe out the Taiping Army in various places, so that the various departments of the Taiping Army cannot be connected with each other, and states become states, and counties become counties. among the counties. "
Times have changed, and if it had been before, Huangfu Song would have directly chosen a county to be the governor as soon as he said these words.
But this time after he wrote the letter, the emperor and the ministers were silent at first, and then responded quickly.
"There is no such thing as raising a bandit to respect yourself."
Faced with this situation, Huangfu Song laughed helplessly at himself.
————
In the "Battle of Ferry", the Imperial Guard's Habayashi Guards were completely annihilated, which caused a heavy blow to the center of the Han Dynasty. It instantly switched from strategic attack to defense. The outcome of this war was not a thorn in the side of the Han Dynasty. , but the consequences are endless.
After the victory, the leader of the Taiping Army, Zhang Jiao, carried out an internal restructuring. This restructuring completely transformed the Taiping Army and its military strength expanded rapidly, which was a necessary condition for the development of subsequent events.
The reversal of offensive and defensive momentum between the Taiping Army and the Han Dynasty was so sudden. The decline of the Han Dynasty was not a smooth parabola, but straight downward.
This is an extremely typical example of heroes accelerating the historical process! ——"The Rise and Fall of the Han Dynasty"
