Chapter 104 The Yellow Turban Rebellion breaks out again, and a million-strong army mutinis!

Ji Hao did not mention the matter of Bingzhou because that place did not border Liu Bei. As long as Lu Bu took Sizhou and Liangzhou, together with Ji Hao's Yuzhou and Xuzhou, he could cut off the world and divide it into two.

By that time, all the pressure from the front will be borne by Lu Bu, and he can develop steadily in the back.

Build city walls in Jizhou and Youzhou.

In this case, Bingzhou is not important. Since it is Lu Bu's hometown, Ji Hao can be generous and give it to him directly. Anyway, Wen Hou is about to become Ji Hao's "family general".

He fights however you tell him to.

"Okay, I'll send troops now!" said Lu Bu.

He also knew Ji Hao's thoughts and understood that Ji Hao wanted to use him to resist Liu Bei so as to develop steadily in the rear, but he had to fall into this trap because it was really tempting.

Sizhou is also a Sizhou that can work with Ji Hao to manage Luoyang and take half of the profits of Chengtian Ferry.

In addition, Xiliang, one of the three major military regions of the Han Dynasty, can definitely become the top vassal once it is conquered. In addition, with Bingzhou promised by Ji Hao, he has the confidence to defeat Yuan Shao at his peak by occupying four states.

"Blow the horn, the Datong army will launch a full-scale counterattack!" Ji Hao also said.

……

The stalemate continues.

But at a certain moment, Lu Bu led an army of 100,000 and charged towards Xuchang from Yanzhou. He occupied the city of Xuchang, which was surrounded by mountains on three sides, in a lightning speed, and then used it as a base to expand westwards and head straight for Xiliang.

You may doubt other aspects of Lu Bu, but there are three things you definitely don't have to doubt.

One is his fighting strength, which is definitely the ceiling of the era and even the peak Huang Zhong cannot reach it. Ji Hao has confirmed this.

The second is that he was a rebellious person and used his Fang Tian Hua Ji to stab his adoptive father.

Boss killer.

The third point is his unparalleled ability to steal homes: Lu Bu is good at attacking but not good at defending. In the places he guarded, Hulao Pass was lost, Chang'an City was lost, Yanzhou was lost, and Xuzhou was also lost.

Lost every time.

But he was very good at attacking cities.

If "the only heroes in the world are you and Cao", the two most powerful people in the world have both been beaten by him, and he succeeded in stealing their home point, and Cao Cao lost Yanzhou.

Even if he succeeded in stealing the house, Liu Bei would still lose Xuzhou.

A real expert at stealing houses.

This time was no exception. When it came to attacking and stealing the base, he had an instant flash of inspiration and performed all kinds of cool moves one after another. Combined with his own bravery and two top lieutenants, he was unstoppable all the way.

He fought all the way from Luoyang to Liu Biao's doorstep in the south, then west to Hanzhong and rode his horse in front of Liu Bei's gate.

It was not until he captured Liangzhou and dealt with the foreign nations outside and subdued the Qiang King that people realized that that ordinary man actually owned three states.

Especially Liu Bei.

Everyone else was dumbfounded.

"What about Yuan Shao? Is he made of clay?"

Lu Bu only has a few men.

If he had known it would be so easy to defeat him, Liu Bei would have fought on his own. How could he have given Lu Bu a chance?
But he didn't know that Yuan Shao was really helpless at this time: he was also aware that Lu Bu was attacking Sizhou and Liangzhou, but he wanted to suppress him, but the north was hit by a full-scale counterattack by Ji Hao.

What level of offense?

Large ships so dense that there was no end in sight docked at the northern side of the Bohai Sea. Men, women, old and young all went into battle and launched a comprehensive cleanup of all the major families in Youzhou.

The defenders can only defend the city.

Without attacking any city, all the villages without cities were occupied.

As soon as the benefits were given, the people rebelled.

More importantly, there were too many people attacking Youzhou, so many that it was beyond Yuan Shao's imagination: there were female soldiers in Qingzhou, and advances in medical care had raised the retirement age to sixty.

Compared with Yuan Shao, who was declining at the age of thirty and had to be repatriated at the age of forty, he had much more manpower.

Therefore, this time he mobilized several million people!
It was a number that Yuan Shao could not imagine. The regular Datong Army held Yuan Shao back in Luoyang, preventing him from evacuating.

"Father, something terrible has happened. Uprisings have broken out in Jizhou and Bingzhou. The Yellow Turban Army, which had been destroyed, has reappeared. Now slogans such as 'The Blue Heaven is dead, and the Yellow Heaven should be established' are heard everywhere." Yuan Tan said in panic.

This made Yuan Shao very confused.

I never expected that I, who previously occupied five states, would suddenly become like this.
But he didn't know that occupying is not the same as keeping.

Without the support of the people and the endorsement of the local citizens, the support of the aristocratic families alone is actually useless.

Liu Bei, Lu Bu, and him in the original novel all suffered this loss.

The same was true of Cao Cao's defeat at the Red Cliff.

"Don't panic, don't panic. I still have a million troops and my beloved general Zhang He. What can a mere mob do to me?" Yuan Shao said calmly.

But at this moment, shouts and screams suddenly came.

His first reaction was that Ji Hao had left the city.

But soon, Zhang He, covered in blood, ran in and said, "My lord, run away! Our army has mutinied!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Yuan Shao was immediately stunned.

Immediately he said angrily: "Damn Punch!"

Due to Ji Hao's "cornucopia" plan, he has not paid military salaries for several months. The soldiers also have to support their families, and the generals have a bunch of wives and concubines at home, who also need money.

Who can bear to have no income for a long time?
This is just one aspect.

More importantly, after the complete collapse, Yuan Shao was penniless, and the major families that supported him were also left with nothing.

The forced collection triggered civil unrest.

Plus three states were taken away.

As a result, the army had been cut off from food supplies three days ago - wages can be delayed, and a "end-of-year settlement" can be put in place, but if people are not given food, they can't starve to death, right?

The people of this era have not experienced the enslavement of the Qing Dynasty and are all powerful men.

Scholars always carry swords when they travel outside.

"Kongwuliqi" can be used to refer to Confucius!
In addition, there is the example of the "Great Sage Teacher". Can they feel at ease after learning that their hometown has rebelled and their relatives are no longer in Yuan Shao's hands?

Of course not.

"The sky is dead, Huang Tian must stand!"

"Great harmony between heaven and earth, the world is for all!"

"Does the prince and general Xiang Ning have the guts?"

The soldiers had little education, and even some of the generals were illiterate, but they were human beings after all. They had heard all kinds of stories, and they could recite the slogans in the stories at will.

It doesn’t matter whether you know the meaning or not, what matters is that it feels cool.

So, just use it directly.

A massive mutiny broke out, and the changes were so rapid that even Yuan Shao was caught off guard.

"How ridiculous! How ridiculous!" Yuan Shao was angry.

But at this moment, Ji Hao started to do something outrageous again: he asked his soldiers to set up big pots on the Luoyang city wall, and in front of the hungry army on the opposite side, they kept slaughtering pigs and sheep and hung them all over the city wall.

Even the flag with the word "Ji" on it was taken down.

It was replaced with a large steel fork, on which was skewered a roasted cow.

Yuan Shao and others were dumbfounded.

"Listen, soldiers of the three armies. We have limited food. It's only enough to last for a few hundred years. It's too little. From now on, you will only be given three steamed buns for three meals a day, one for each meal. If you are not full, you can feed me meat, pork, beef, mutton, chicken, duck, goose, fish, shrimp, crab. As long as it is meat, you can have enough of it!" Ji Hao said while holding a loud speaker.
