Chapter 169 Yellow Turban Deliberations
"I Summon Famous Generals from All History in Another World," a masterpiece by Mu Jin Bai Yi, is now available to read!
As the night deepened, Zhang Jiao gradually calmed down after his initial anger.
He sat alone in his tent, the anger on his face gone, replaced by a deep contemplation.
He knew that as the leader of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he could not let his emotions get out of control, nor could he let anger influence his decisions.
Now, he needs to gather his most capable assistants to discuss countermeasures to deal with the current crisis.
Zhang Jiao issued an order to summon Meng Zhang, the current leader of the Yellow Turbans, as well as his personal disciples Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Tianxuan to the main tent.
These three are currently the core figures in the Yellow Turban Army in Luzhou. They are both intelligent and brave, and are deeply trusted and relied upon by Zhang Jiao.
Meng Zhang, of course, needs no further explanation.
Currently, he is bearing the brunt of most of the pressure from the Daqian side on the Luzhou battlefield.
As long as the main battlefield under Meng Zhang's command is not lost.
There is still hope for Luzhou.
During this period, Zhu Yuanzhang also relied on figures such as Chang Yuchun.
He used his status as Zhang Jiao's direct disciple to wield considerable power within the Yellow Turban Army.
Needless to say, Zhang Tianxuan, although she has only been a member for a short time.
However, he possessed all the true skills of Zhang Jiao.
Currently, most of the talented individuals in the Yellow Turban Army are skilled in Taoist arts, such as Gongsun Sheng, the Cloud Dragon.
They all came under Zhang Tianxuan's command.
Soon, the three of them arrived at Zhang Jiao's camp.
Seeing that Zhang Jiao had regained his usual calm and dignity, he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
As long as Zhang Jiao, the core figure of the Taiping Cult, remains, the Yellow Turban Army still has hope.
"The collapse of the Ruizhou front is due to my dereliction of duty, Zhang Jiao."
"But the failure is in the past. What we need to do now is to find the reasons for the failure and develop a new strategy."
Zhang Jiao gestured for the three to sit down, and then slowly began to speak.
"The Daqian army is strong and well-equipped, and its logistical support is rapid."
"Our army, on the other hand, is exhausted from days of fighting."
"Furthermore, the generals of the opposing Daqian are no ordinary people. Yin Yuanxun's tactics are flexible and unpredictable, making it difficult for our army to defend against them."
As the current leader of the Yellow Turban Army in Luzhou, Meng Zhang spoke first.
If the opposing side were to concentrate its forces to deal with his own main battlefield, Meng Zhang would certainly not be afraid.
He was confident that the people on the Tianwu Continent might be able to defeat him in one or two matches.
But the goal is to defeat him head-on.
Absolutely impossible!
Unfortunately, they had more commanders.
They didn't even team up with Meng Zhang to fight.
Instead, Yin Yuanxun was able to hold off Meng Zhang head-on.
The remaining commanders flocked to the flanks of the battlefield.
Seeking an opportunity to break through the Yellow Turban Army's flank.
The tactics were exactly the same as those used by the Wuzhou side on the other side.
But there's nothing we can do; it's an open conspiracy.
I'll take advantage of our superior talent and deep-rooted resources to bully you.
So what!
You, Meng Zhang, are indeed impressive.
But if you dare, create dozens of clones and take command on various battlefields!
A battle involving millions of troops.
The battle lines have been stretched to an unknown extent.
Meng Zhang was held back by the enemy and could only focus on the main battlefield.
There's nothing we can do to help on other battlefields.
"These are all objective reasons, but we must also admit that our army has many problems in tactics and command on the flank battlefield."
"We need to learn from our experiences and lessons, strengthen training and equipment, and improve the combat effectiveness of the army."
Upon hearing Meng Zhang's words, Zhang Jiao nodded in agreement.
He also knew that among the Yellow Turban Army, only those capable of fighting on battlefields with hundreds of thousands of troops were currently capable of such operations.
Meng Zhang was the only one who shouldered the heavy responsibility.
But even a skilled cook can't cook without rice.
Even though the Yellow Turbans had undergone several rounds of balancing and strengthening.
However, compared to the Qianlong Emperor, who had a history spanning hundreds of years.
It still looks a bit flimsy.
"However, given the current situation, we need a more rapid and effective response."
"Yuanzhang, Tianxuan, what suggestions do you two have?"
Zhang Jiao looked at his two disciples beside him.
"Master, I think we need to strengthen our intelligence gathering and analysis."
"Only by understanding the enemy's movements and intentions can we formulate more effective strategies."
"The main reason for the defeat at the Ruizhou battlefield was that they failed to detect the arrival of Nangong Tianxia and the Lei Ze Dragon Riders, which left Huang Chao and his men with no chance to fight back."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the intelligence report on the battlefield in Ruizhou on the table and then spoke.
Even though they knew of Nangong Tianxia and his group's arrival on the Ruizhou battlefield at that time.
The outcome will not change much.
But at least it gave Huang Chao a chance to retreat at his leisure.
This allowed him to preserve most of the Yellow Turban army's strength and retreat to Luzhou.
Instead of the way it is now.
The leaders, Huang Chao and Zhang Bao, were captured.
The Ruizhou front collapsed completely.
"Yuanzhang is right."
"Our intelligence work was indeed a oversight on our part."
"Because the Yellow Turban Rebellion was newly established, it did not invest much in intelligence."
"From now on, we must strengthen our efforts in this area to ensure that we can obtain timely and accurate intelligence on the enemy."
Zhang Jiao nodded heavily.
There's no way around it; intelligence gathering requires a solid foundation.
Did Zhang Jiao not understand the importance of intelligence?
Doesn't he want to do it?
He simply can't afford it.
Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion began, the Yellow Turban Army has been fighting against the Daqian Dynasty.
Everything inside was rebuilt.
Everything requires a lot of investment.
Where would there be any spare resources to spare for something as extravagant as building an intelligence network?
Currently, the Yellow Turban Army's intelligence network still relies on a portion of the unwanted intelligence given away by those behind the scenes of the Taiping Cult.
"Master, we can try changing our tactics."
"In the past, we may have relied too much on direct confrontation and neglected the use of tactics such as surprise attacks and guerrilla warfare."
"Our Yellow Turban army is numerous, which is our advantage. We can take advantage of the terrain and manpower to use flexible and varied tactics to strike the enemy."
Zhang Tianxuan thought for a moment, then made the suggestion.
A hint of admiration flashed in Zhang Jiao's eyes: "Tianxuan's suggestion is very creative."
Indeed, we cannot always be bound by traditional tactical thinking.
"The large number of soldiers and personnel generated by the Yellow Turban Rebellion is our greatest advantage."
"Flexible and adaptable tactics will be the key to our victory over the enemy."
Zhang Jiao pondered for a moment and discovered the Yellow Turban Army in Luzhou.
Apart from a portion who were led by Meng Zhang to fight the Daqian army to the death on the main battlefield.
The remaining Yellow Turban Army stayed in the rear as reserves for Meng Zhang.
This would be a terrible waste of the Yellow Turban Army's numerical advantage.
Meng Zhang stood to the side, gazing at the landscape map on the table, recalling the smoke of battle in Luzhou, his heart filled with turmoil.
He turned to look at Zhang Jiao beside him, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, his eyes also gleaming with a profound light.
"General of Heaven".
Meng Zhang spoke, his voice calm and composed.
"In the Battle of Luzhou, although the army of the Great Qian Dynasty was tied down by us, their strength is profound, and if this continues, it will be disadvantageous to us."
"In my humble opinion, the Taiping Sect should explore new paths and find a new way out for the Yellow Turban Army."
