Chapter 468: All the ammunition and food are gone in one desperate move

Chapter 468: All the ammunition and food are exhausted

Chapter 467: We run out of ammunition and food and go to **** together

 Zhang Jiao felt that his life was a tragedy.

 You lose your father when you are young, you lose your mother when you are young, you lose your wife when you are middle-aged, you lose your disciple when you are old...

Taoist Nanhua is Zhang Jiao’s most respected master, but he has been using him from beginning to end to achieve Baijia’s conspiracy.

Zhang Jiao thought he had broken the cage that Baijia had built for him, but when he realized what he was doing, he realized that he had just replaced it with a bigger cage.

 The will of God cannot be reversed by manpower. If you go against the will of God, you will eventually be hurt by God. That’s all, I’m tired too!

After letting out a long sigh, Zhang Jiao looked at the commanders and asked softly: "Does anyone still remember the original intention of my Yellow Turban army?"

 “Fight for the people of the world.” All Qushuai shouted loudly together.

"Everyone knows it." Zhang Jiao glanced at the crowd and shouted angrily: "But how did you do it? Aren't the people of Luoyang just the people?"

All the commanders looked ashamed.

Between preserving themselves and sacrificing the people, everyone chose to preserve themselves. They did not feel there was anything wrong with this, but they deviated from the original intention.

"I, the Yellow Turban, may lose this time, but the one who laughs in the end will definitely not be the big man. The war has brought too many disasters to the people, and the people have already been overwhelmed. The big man can ignore the death of the people, but we can't." Food...cough..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Jue suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood, and all the Qu commanders screamed in surprise when they saw this.

 “Master.” “Great virtuous teacher.”

　　————

 Zhongping three years, February 21st.

 At the order of the great sage Zhang Jiao, Huang Jin officially opened positions and increased the volume.

 After the news came out, the people of Luoyang simply couldn’t believe it was true.

 But when bags of relief food were distributed, the people of Luoyang understood who was really on the side of the people.

 Under the rule of the Yellow Turbans, land was allocated to the people, corrupt officials were punished, unjust and false cases were re-tried, and even when food was about to be cut off, food was distributed to the people.

As for the big man, just thinking about it makes him cry!

 Under the rule of the Han Dynasty, powerful families continued to exploit the people, corrupt officials were everywhere in every state, and the people simply could not survive.

 Compared with the Yellow Turban, it is really much better, but how do the people of Luoyang repay it?

 Continuously resist the Yellow Turbans’ policies to benefit the people and reject all the Yellow Turbans’ good intentions.

Think about it now, isn’t this something you can’t live with yourself?

Zhang Jiao's act of repaying evil with kindness made most Luoyang people feel ashamed and finally forgot their past hatred.

Since then, even the people of Luoyang, which was once the imperial capital, have begun to despise the Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty has completely been called a "violent man", and no one can stop the people of the world from talking about it.

 The Han Dynasty may have won the war, but it completely lost the hearts of the people;

Although the Yellow Turbans lost the war, they won praise from people all over the world, and even the Han army had no admiration at all!

　　————

 February 22nd.

Zhang Jiao ordered Zhu Yuanzhang to serve as the chief general, and led Dian Wei, Xu Ding, Li Jin, Yue Xi and other generals to lead an elite army of 300,000 to attack Dagonguan, preparing for the final desperate move.

Early before the war, Bai Qi expected that the Yellow Turbans would fight tooth and nail. Considering that there was no shortage of troops on both the north and south routes, Bai Qi applied for reinforcements from Qin Hao in advance.

 Qin Hao gave Bai Qi 30,000 reinforcements, and asked Ran Min, Xue Rengui and Xiong Kuohai to go to help. He also wrote a letter to Huangfu Song, hoping that Huangfu Song could also divide his troops to support Bai Qi.

After Huangfu Song received the letter, he ordered Han Xin and Qin Jian to lead an army of 30,000 people and go to Dagu Pass to support them.

 With 60,000 reinforcements, Daguguan's military strength was unprecedentedly rich. Bai Qi detached an army of 30,000 troops to support this Liao Dynasty to deal with the Yellow Turban Army in the direction of Yanzhou. With only 50,000 defenders, he was able to withstand the fierce attack of an army of 300,000 troops.

 March 15th.

 Under the fierce attack for more than 20 days, Dagong Pass remained as stable as Mount Tai, but the food and grass on the front line were about to be exhausted.

Zhu Yuanzhang continued to attack Cui Liang in Luoyang.

Now the food supply for everyone in Luoyang has been changed to one meal a day for the city, and all food is given priority to the army.

The people of Luoyang also chose to understand this. After all, the Yellow Turbans themselves could hardly survive, but they gave them a meal, which was really the most benevolent thing.

Yellow Turban adopted the method of increasing revenue and reducing expenditure. While tightening their belts, they also tried every means to raise food.

 Zhang Sheng directly asked the army to spread out across the land of Sizhou, and used all available methods such as hunting, fishing, digging wild vegetables, etc. to find edible food to supply the troops on the front line.

 But this was barely enough for the soldiers and civilians of Luoyang, and it would not last long at all.

The Yellow Turban Army and the people of Luoyang used various methods to hold on for another month, but Zhu Yuanzhang still failed to capture Dagong Pass.

 After a series of searches, almost all the wild beasts in the mountains were hunted down, all the fish in the water were caught, all the roots of wild vegetables and trees were dug up, and even all the sparrows in the sky were shot.

The Yellow Turbans have completely run out of food, and no food can be found around Luoyang. Nearly a thousand people and soldiers starve to death every day, and some have even begun to eat corpses.

 April 15, Luoyang, Imperial Palace.

Zhang Jiao, who was about to run out of oil and lamp, stood at the top of the steps of the palace and looked at the city of Luoyang where mourning was everywhere, but his heart felt peaceful.

 “Although I, Zhang Jiao, am defeated, I still want to leave fire for the Yellow Turbans.”

 Zhang Jiao murmured to himself, and then asked: "Is Zhu Yuanzhang back?"

Before Zhang Sheng could answer, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was covered in scars, stood up and said with shame and self-reproach in his eyes: "I will never trust my good teacher. Death is not enough..."

 “My child, it’s not your fault.”

 “Great virtuous teacher.”

“Call me Master. From today on, you, Zhu Ming and Zhu Yuanzhang, are my close disciples of Zhang Jiao.”

 “Master.”

Zhu Yuanzhang burst into tears. At this moment, he hated his own incompetence. Why couldn't he break through Dagong Pass?

Zhang Jiao said to Zhang Sheng and others beside him: "Sheng'er, you leave Sizhou on the mountain road and go to Yanzhou to raise the Yellow Turban banner again. You must not try to force the Han people into submission. One day, I, the Yellow Turbans, will definitely destroy the Han people. ”

Although the four gates of Sizhou were indeed blocked, it was actually only a large army that was blocked. If a few people crossed the mountains, it would be impossible for the Han army to stop them.

Zhang Sheng was shocked when he heard this and said hurriedly: "Father, what will you do after the child leaves?"

Zhang Jiao had already taken a dim view of life and death. Feng Qingyun said calmly: "I think that with my father's current physical condition, if he is still traveling over the mountains and ridges, he will definitely die on the road. This is not the way my father wants to die."

“If the father doesn’t leave, neither will the child.” Zhang Sheng said stubbornly, tears flowing out of his cheeks unconsciously.

"Silly boy." Zhang Jiao stroked away Zhang Sheng's tears and said lovingly: "Even without this defeat, my father's time would still be short, so there is no need to feel sad for my father."
