Chapter 81 Night Talk
Chapter 81
"Yes, my yellow scarf believers are indeed more than the people in the world, but although there are many people in the world, they may not be used by the court, while my yellow scarf believers are different. They have lofty beliefs and are determined to sweep away the world and recast mountains and rivers. I think you are a talent. Why don't you stay with me and achieve great things together?
Speaking of this, Zhang Jiao smiled and looked at Lv Bu.
"I don't know how many officers and soldiers have been killed by the Yellow Turban Army since the general's uprising? What about the casualties of the Yellow Turban Army?
Lv Bu looked at Zhang Jiao's proud look and asked coldly. If God wants to destroy people, he must first make people crazy. Lv Bu is the same. Although his words were sharp at the beginning, he left a little affection for Zhang Jiao to avoid repeated suppression that made Zhang Jiao lose control of his emotions. Instead, he had an accident.
Lv Bu first said that the combat power of the Yellow Turban Army was not as good as that of the officers and soldiers, and then asked about the hearts of the people. The court lost the hearts of the people, which made Zhang Jiao slightly relaxed. At this time, he asked about the losses of the Yellow Turban Army and the officers on the battlefield.
In the problem of Lv Bu, Zhang Jiao began to think about it by himself, and soon his eyebrows were locked. There is no other reason. Since the rise of Zhang Jiao, although the Yellow Turban Army has developed rapidly and its strength has doubled, the casualties of the Yellow Turban Army are also very large. Compared with the casualties of the Yellow Turban Army, the casualties of the officers and soldiers are much less.
Although the Yellow Turban Army fought a lot of battles, most of them fought against the local heroes and armed forces against some landlords, such as Liu Bei and others. There were not many battles with the real officers and soldiers. The largest one was the Yingchuan War a few days ago. Although the Yellow Turban Army won the Yingchuan War, the officers and soldiers who killed the prisoners were added together. It's only 50,000, but the Yellow Turban Army lost more than 70,000 to 80,000 in this battle. This is still the result of victory. What if it fails?
Zhang Jiao felt that the failure of the Yellow Turban Army was unbearable.
Looking at Zhang Jiao's silence, Lv Bu turned the topic back.
"Dare to ask the general, how are you going to defeat Lu Zhi outside the city and his 70,000 troops? How many lives of yellow scarf soldiers does the general plan to sacrifice to win the war?
As soon as Lv Bu said this, Zhang Jiao's heart was surging. As the saying goes, the success of a general must have tens of thousands of heads. If Zhang Jiao wants to defeat Lu Zhi and his 70,000 troops, he must be prepared to give up the lives of more yellow scarf soldiers. Lv Bu was sure that Zhang Jiao couldn't bear the death and injury of the Yellow Turban Army, so he said these heart-threate words.
"Lv Bu is not talented, but I also remember that in the battle of Yingchuan, our army occupied the right time and place, and attacked Huangfu Song with an ambush. Even so, our army has been killed and injured as many as 70,000 and 80,000, but I don't know the general. In order to defeat Lu Zhi, how many yellow scarf soldiers are the general is going to kill and injure? When the general becomes famous, I'm afraid that there are no more than a million yellow scarf old people who follow the general now.
Lv Bu said with a sigh. Although Lv Bu's words were easy, when he heard Zhang Jiao's ears, every word in these words was like a sharp knife, which was inserted into Zhang Jiao's heart, which made Zhang Jiao's face extremely ugly.
"Well, you, little junior, dare to be so sarcastic to me, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
Zhang Jiao was angry by Lv Bu's words and stared at Lv Bu fiercely, as if he wanted to eat Lv Bu. Lv Bu knew that what he had just said, in order to make Zhang Jiao understand the reality, he had to give Zhang Jiao a strong medicine. But Zhang Jiao must be a hegemon, which makes him lose face too much, but it is likely to be counterproductive. That's not what Lv Bu wants.
"Hahaha, what the boy said just now is indeed a little offensive, but the reason why the boy is offensive is that the boy knows that the general rises up for the livelihood of the people, and he does not want to see the people die tragically under tyranny, so he made dangerous moves and has come to this point. Therefore, I also believe that the general will not tolerate the people of the world for the well-being of the people of the world. Because of the general, there is no need to die. The general will definitely make the right choice for the people of the world.
Lv Bu talked and gave a high hat to Zhang Jiao. The reason why Lv Bu dared to say something in front of Zhang Jiao and let Zhang Jiao withdraw from competing for hegemony was actually not Lv Bu's wishful thinking. When Lv Bu first came to Zhang Jiao's mansion, he saw a Taoist temple built here. He thought it was just Zhang Jiao's vassal elegance. The believers just looked at it, but when they thought about it carefully, they also recognized the clue. With Zhang Jiao's current identity, there is no need to do this for others. In order to rule the thoughts of believers, Zhang Jiao should establish Taoism in the army, not in his own house, and he holds the power to kill tens of millions of lives. Get people and lock yourself in the Taoist temple, which means that Zhang Jiao now has a different idea about the matter of starting a soldier. Anyone who can become a spiritual leader must have a love for the people, and Zhang Jiao is no exception.
After a conversation with Zhang Jiao, Lv Bu knew that his judgment was not wrong.
"Ha ha ha, you boy, what a sharp language, but my yellow scarf is in a good situation. How can you give up if you say you give up? You are the guest invited by my daughter, and you are my daughter's savior. Naturally, you are also my guest. I don't care about today's matter with you. Don't say more about it in the future.
Zhang Jiao's tone was stiff and he had made a decision. Lv Bu also understood that Zhang Jiao had a million yellow towels in his hand. How could he give up because of his own words? However, from Zhang Jiao's attitude, Lv Bu has felt that it is not impossible for Zhang Jiao to give up competing for hegemony. What is missing now is an opportunity. A reason for Zhang Jiao to let go, and this reason is not what Lv Bu can give.
If you want a person to give up his career when his career is at its peak, it is a very air crash, just like committing suicide, but as long as a seed of suicide is planted in his heart, then when this person's career begins to decline, the person will easily commit suicide.
What Lv Bu did now is to plant a seed of retreat in Zhang Jiao's heart. When the yellow scarf begins to go downhill, Lv Bu will have great confidence and persuade Zhang Jiao to retreat, so as to keep the many people of the yellow scarf, leave the cornerstone for the growth of the Han nation, and avoid the Han nation. In this war The vitality is greatly damaged.
"Hahaha, since the general doesn't want to talk about this topic anymore, he will naturally take orders."
Seeing that Zhang Jiao was a little irritable, Lv Bu was very interesting and stopped the topic.
"Did I ask you? Are you from the government? Did the government send you to convince me?
Looking at Lv Bu, Zhang Jiao suddenly asked. No wonder Zhang Jiao is so suspicious of Lv Bu. What Lv Bu said must be too much like a lobbyist in the government.
"Does the general think that the lobbyist of the government will help Linger girl catch Yuan Shu?" Lv Bu asked with a smile.
"This is exactly what I doubt. I haven't heard of anyone in the government who can use Yuan Shu as a meeting gift. Who has such courage?"
Zhang Jiao looked at Lv Bu and was a little confused. After listening to Lv Bu's advice to withdraw from the competition for hegemony, Zhang Jiao felt that Lv Bu should be a member of the government, but how could the people of the government help Zhang Linger capture Yuan Shu? Yuan Shu is the general of the North Middle School of the court, and the same level as Lu Zhi, Huang Fu Song and Zhu Jun. It is really not the handwriting of the court officials to use this to get the letter of the yellow scarf.
"As my predecessors saw, I, Lv Bu, hated the decline of the Han court and the corruption of the court, but I didn't want to see the yellow scarf soldiers use their lives to destroy the court. Because the effort to do this is too huge, the yellow scarf has only been in trouble for half a year, and the yellow scarf and civilians who died in this war are already countless. I don't know how many people there are in my land when this war goes on. Nowadays, the foreign worries of the Han Dynasty are endless. If there are internal troubles, I'm afraid that the flower world of the Han people in the future will not be passed on to the descendants of the Han family.
Lv Bu didn't want to say more today, but he couldn't help saying a few more words.
"Well, is today's situation wrong with my yellow scarf? It is the court that should be confessed, and it is the court that should be destroyed.
Zhang Jiao's last words were almost roaring. However, this also shows that Zhang Jiao has listened to Lv Bu's words, but what Zhang Jiao sees now is the bright future of the Yellow Turban Uprising, so Zhang Jiao is unwilling and gives up halfway. However, according to Lv Bu's estimate. Zhang Jiao will soon see that the failure of the yellow scarf is inevitable.
Although the conversation this night broke up unhappily, Lv Bu had already seen hope.
The next day, Zhang Jiao summoned the yellow scarf general to discuss the strategy of breaking the enemy. Zhang Jiao must have been surrounded by Lu Zhi in this Guangzong City for too long. In the past, Zhang Jiao could also say that the Yellow Turban Army was not strong, and Lu Zhi was cunning. But now 220,000 yellow scarves have gathered in Guangzong. If Zhang Jiao still doesn't fight, Zhang Jiao and his yellow scarf army might as well go home.
In fact, Zhang Jiao has no choice but to fight now. One of the very important reasons why so many people follow the Yellow Turban Army to rebel is to eat. Originally, there were 150,000 horses in Guangzong. The problem of eating 150,000 horses is already a headache. Now there are 70,000 more horses of Zhang Liang, and 220,000 horses are going to eat. If Zhang Jiao doesn't find a way to defeat it. Lu Zhi, go out to get something to eat. I'm afraid that the yellow scarf army doesn't need to fight, so he will mess up into a pot of porridge first.
Zhang Jiao called the generals for a meeting, and Lv Bu, as a guest of the Yellow Turban Army, was also invited by Zhang Liang to attend.
"Guys, now that our army is strong and strong, it is the time to go out of the city to defeat the enemy. If you have any good strategy to defeat the enemy, just say it." Zhang Jiao glanced majestically at the generals around him and said to the generals. But he didn't look at Lv Bu at a glance.
"General Tiangong is on the top, and the last general Guan Haiyuan is the forward, cutting through the thorns for the general and killing the enemy camp."
When Zhang Jiao asked, a voice suddenly appeared, and one of the generals stood up. It was Guan Hai, the first fierce general of the yellow scarf.
"Okay, General Guan Hai is worthy of being the first tiger general in our army. He is powerful and extraordinary. When our army goes to war, General Guan Hai will be the vanguard."
Zhang Jiao saw that Guan Hai came out of the battle and hurriedly said something to comfort him. Zhang Jiao must be asking about the strategy of defeating the enemy, not to choose a general to go out. Although Zhang Jiao and Lv Bu broke up unhappily last night, Zhang Jiao still attached great importance to Lv Bu's words. Now Zhang Jiao has 220,000 mercenaries, and it is not a problem to worship Lu Zhi. But is Zhang Jiao really going to lose tens of thousands or even 100,000 yellow scarf soldiers in the battle with Lu Zhi as Lv Bu said?
Of course, Zhang Jiao doesn't want to, so what Zhang Jiao wants is a good strategy that can break the enemy, not the determination of the war. Thinking of this, Zhang Jiao's eyes couldn't help looking at Lv Bu, but he just turned away in an instant without stopping.
