Chapter 205 The Situation of the Great Xuan
A vast collection of historical novels to satisfy your reading preferences.
Meanwhile, Li Jing and the Cangzhou army were preparing to set off inside Duanhun Pass.
Before the Tiger King, who was preparing to be near Qizhou, could react.
When the vital forces of the Prince of Qi in Qizhou were completely destroyed.
Meanwhile, far from the battlefield, within the Great Xuan territory, a storm was brewing.
The situation within the Great Xuan territory, located in the south of the Great Qian and the west of the Great Yong.
With the sudden influx of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Tianxuan, along with other Yellow Turban forces, the situation changed dramatically.
He also started going berserk.
The situation within the Great Xuan territory began to deteriorate rapidly.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Tianxuan do not currently have a large number of troops under their direct command.
Most of them are elderly, weak, sick, or disabled.
But that's precisely why.
In addition, the Taiping Cult and the Yellow Turban Army had a reputation in the martial arts world.
This allowed the two of them to thrive in the martial arts world.
Currently, he has several key figures under his control.
They are all renowned figures in the martial arts world!
They currently lead the Yellow Turban forces.
Under the guise of rebelling against the imperial court and robbing the rich to help the poor, they rapidly expanded their power within the territory of Da Xuan.
This disrupted the existing power balance within the Great Xuan territory.
This intensified the struggle between the imperial court and various rebel kings.
Faced with the challenge from the Yellow Turban forces and the growing rebellion of internal rebel kings.
The Great Xuan Dynasty is facing an unprecedented crisis.
The Great Xuan Dynasty, led by Yang Jian, suddenly faced off against the thirty-six rebel forces led by the local rebel king Xia Yeli and the rebel king Li Mi, who had emerged from a power struggle.
Xia Yeli, one of the local rebel kings, was among them.
He is also one of the main rivals of the future Southern Emperor in the Great Xuan Dynasty.
They have long occupied the southern and central regions of Da Xuan.
It rivaled the Great Xuan Dynasty.
The implanted Li Mi is a rising star in recent years.
With outstanding military talent and political skills.
He successfully integrated various rebel forces, becoming a major threat to the imperial court.
As the forces of both sides continued to gather and clash, the prelude to war slowly began.
Within the territory of Da Xuan, Yang Jian personally led the imperial army.
He brought along Yang Lin, He Ruobi, Yu Juluo, Qiu Rui, Han Qinhu, and most of the Nine Elders of the Sui Dynasty.
They engaged in fierce battles with the 36-route allied forces led by Xia Yeli and Li Mi.
The two sides fought fiercely on the battlefield, locked in a deadly battle.
With the addition of the Yellow Turban forces, they are secretly causing trouble in the north of Da Xuan.
The anti-king coalition also had the upper hand in terms of numbers and morale.
Therefore, Yang Jian, who personally led the suppression of the rebellion in the south, even found himself in a bitter struggle.
As the war continued.
More and more forces and regions are being drawn into it.
As neighboring countries of Da Xuan, Da Qian and Da Yong have seen many forces within their borders closely watching the course of this war.
Each side dispatched envoys to the Great Xuan territory to investigate the situation and secretly support the forces that were favorable to them.
In addition, some martial arts masters and reclusive experts from the Jianghu (江湖, the martial arts world) also came out of seclusion to help various forces.
They either joined the battle, offered advice, or provided material support.
This made the war more complex and unpredictable.
Fortunately, although the Great Xuan Dynasty was not as well-established as the Great Qian Dynasty in the north, it was still a powerful and influential dynasty.
But it's not a disgrace to a dynasty like the Great Sheng.
Therefore, when Yang Jian personally went to the front to take charge.
The Da Xuan side also reacted quickly.
They began to mobilize troops and generals to march south to support Yang Jian.
And to send out implants into the Yang family of the Da Xuan Sect.
Yang Su, one of Yang Jian's brothers, led one of the two armies.
They marched north to meet the Yellow Turban army that had come from afar.
The other route was led by Peng Fengjun, the Red Phoenix Divine General and a staunch loyalist of the Great Xuan Royal Family.
Moreover, the army led by this Crimson Phoenix General.
Most of them were elite troops under the control of the Great Xuan Dynasty, possessing extremely strong combat capabilities.
Among them was even a Taoist army directly led by Peng Fengjun!
They split into two groups with Yang Subing, forming a pincer attack.
The intention was to launch a joint attack on the Yellow Turban Army and annihilate them in one fell swoop!
...
At this time, the Yellow Turban Army camp was located in the north of Da Xuan.
A large number of the elderly, the infirm, and the disabled were mixed in, their faces filled with exhaustion and helplessness.
The cries of children, the shouts of young men, and the sobs of women mingled together.
This created a mournful lament that echoed in every corner of the camp.
It was extremely messy.
Abandoned weapons and broken tents were scattered everywhere on the ground of the camp.
These are all traces left by the Yellow Turban Army during their southward march.
Some of the wounded lay on makeshift beds, groaning in pain.
Their wounds were not treated in time, and the blood had stained the sheets.
Meanwhile, medical staff busily moved among the injured, doing their best to provide them with treatment.
But faced with so many wounded, their efforts seemed like a drop in the ocean.
In the center of the camp, a group of Yellow Turban generals sat together.
His face was filled with anxiety and exhaustion.
The war has already cost them dearly, but they are still unwilling to give up.
We hope to find a way to break through this predicament.
However, the harsh reality left them feeling utterly helpless.
They faced numerous thorny problems, including food shortages, insufficient troops, and low morale.
These problems acted like heavy shackles, firmly binding the Yellow Turban Army's actions and fighting capacity.
This excludes the nearly 300,000 troops still led by Meng Zhang who are holding out outside Luzhou.
Compared to these old, weak, sick, and disabled soldiers, the troops led by Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Tianxuan appeared insignificant.
Even more so, it's just a drop in the ocean.
It was as if a drop of water had merged into the ocean and vanished without a trace in an instant.
The lack of food supplies plunged the Yellow Turban army into a state of starvation.
The soldiers could only survive on limited rations each day.
This situation has persisted for a long time.
Their physical strength gradually declined, and their fighting ability weakened accordingly.
Since entering Da Xuan, they have faced constant resistance from the Da Xuan garrison.
They are becoming increasingly difficult to resist.
The lack of manpower made things even worse for the Yellow Turban Army.
In the continuous battles, they lost a large number of elite soldiers.
Newly recruited soldiers often lack training and combat experience, making it difficult for them to form an effective combat force.
However, the two of them could not simply abandon these burdens.
Not to mention that the Yellow Turban Army originally rose to power by relying on the poor and needy.
Just considering the backgrounds and personalities of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Tianxuan.
These two were not the kind of people who could easily abandon the poor people who had followed them through thick and thin.
Their backgrounds are rooted in the lives of ordinary people, and they are well aware of the hardships they face.
They have a natural sympathy and sense of responsibility for the poor.
Zhu Yuanzhang started with a bowl.
He truly rose from humble beginnings, endured hardships, and ultimately seized the throne.
He knows that he can no longer live without the support and sacrifice of the poor people who fought alongside him and helped him through the difficulties.
Therefore, for him, abandoning those who had risked their lives with him and escaping alone was simply impossible.
He would rather die on the battlefield than commit such a treacherous act.
