Chapter 206 Countermeasures against the Yellow Turbans
The wildly popular novel "I Summon Famous Generals from All History in Another World," a heartfelt work by author Mu Jin Bai Yi, is available on Kele Novels.
Zhang Tianxuan was the same.
As one of the five great imperial stars in the homeland.
He is the same as the historical Zhu Yuanzhang.
They all rose from humble beginnings as bandits to eventually conquer the world.
This background and experience shaped their tenacious and loyal character.
They wanted them to abandon the poor people who had risked their lives for them and leave.
Totally impossible!
Throughout history, every hero has had their own unique growth trajectory and unwavering beliefs.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Tianxuan were two generals who rose to prominence in the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
They will also go through a transformation from immaturity to maturity, from weakness to strength.
However, throughout this process, they always adhered to their principles and bottom line.
Perhaps, in the distant future, when they truly grow into a great ruler.
Holding great power, making decisions from afar.
They may harden their hearts and be able to make cold and rational choices when necessary.
But right now, they are far from reaching that level.
Everything they had—their honor, their beliefs, even their lives—was inextricably linked to the Yellow Turban Army.
Therefore, whether out of selfishness or for the greater good, they cannot voluntarily discard these burdens.
Within the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Tianxuan had long since bound their fates tightly to those of their many soldiers.
They know.
Once they abandon those who have followed them to the death since their days of poverty.
Then their reputation will be completely ruined!
However, reality is cruel.
The shortage of food and supplies, the lack of troops, and the low morale weighed heavily on their minds like mountains.
Every battle is a test of life and death; every decision concerns the life and death of tens of thousands of people.
If they cannot find a solution to these problems as soon as possible, then destruction awaits them.
In this chaotic Yellow Turban army camp, everyone is struggling to survive.
They didn't know what fate the future held.
But they persisted, hoping to find a path to victory.
...
As night deepened, the Yellow Turban camp was brightly lit.
Inside the central command tent, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Tianxuan sat facing each other, with their weapons and command flags placed on either side of the table.
Behind him, Chang Yuchun, Tang He, Qiao Feng, Hong Qigong and others stood on the left and right respectively.
They were either deep in thought or gazing intently at the map ahead.
Normally, due to his own imperial star status...
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Tianxuan were both disciples of Zhang Jiao, and they fought openly and secretly for power among the Yellow Turbans.
The struggle between the two had long been an open secret within the Yellow Turban Army.
However, with a formidable enemy at hand, the Yellow Turban Army is now facing an unprecedented predicament.
They all knew that they were all in the same boat.
One glory and one glory.
Given the personalities of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Tianxuan.
Naturally, they wouldn't do anything strange at this critical juncture.
They all knew that only by uniting as one could the Yellow Turban Army overcome its current predicament.
Therefore, despite the deep-seated conflicts and estrangement between the two.
However, they chose to temporarily put aside their grievances and discuss countermeasures together.
"We are now short of supplies, out of manpower, and morale is low. What should we do?"
Zhu Yuanzhang spoke first, breaking the silence.
His brow was furrowed, clearly indicating his deep concern about the current situation.
"The best course of action now is to find a solution to these problems as soon as possible in order to turn the tide of the war."
"We can gather supplies from the surrounding areas and at the same time strengthen training to improve the soldiers' combat effectiveness."
Zhang Tianxuan pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke.
"Besides, isn't the Great Xuan Dynasty currently engaged in a fierce battle with those rebel kings in the south?"
Zhang Tianxuan spoke with a meaningful tone. He paused, his eyes narrowing slightly, a glint of shrewdness flashing within them.
"I suppose they wouldn't mind providing us with some supplies."
He continued, his voice revealing a mix of confidence and cunning.
This is not merely a judgment of the current situation, but also a profound understanding of the stalemate between the Great Xuan Dynasty and the rebel king.
In his view, the Great Xuan Dynasty is currently busy dealing with the rebellion in the south.
They undoubtedly hope that the North can remain stable and not cause them any additional trouble.
"Let us hold off the Great Xuan court's attention for a little longer."
This statement was made in a very casual tone, but it contained extremely profound meaning.
Zhang Tianxuan understood that the existence of the Yellow Turban Army was itself a check on the Great Xuan Dynasty.
If they could receive material support from the imperial court.
It can not only alleviate the current predicament, but also change the course of the entire battle to some extent.
If this idea is successfully implemented, it can not only solve the Yellow Turban Army's immediate crisis.
After Zhang Tianxuan finished speaking, a brief silence fell over the tent.
Then, Zhong Yao, an advisor who had been standing behind Zhang Tianxuan, slowly stepped out.
He was dressed in a blue robe and had a thin, refined face.
Clearly, this was during the time when Zhu Yuanzhang was aggressively recruiting subordinates.
Zhang Tianxuan wasn't idle either.
They caught quite a few fish.
Zhong Yao, who was brought out, was one of them.
Zhong Yao, who walked out slowly, coughed lightly, attracting everyone's attention.
Then he began to analyze the current situation of the Yellow Turban Rebellion for Zhang Tianxuan and Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Generals, the current situation of the Yellow Turbans is indeed extremely precarious."
"Although the Great Xuan Dynasty is fighting against the rebel king in the south, their strength should not be underestimated."
"Although our Yellow Turban Army is numerous, we are short of food and supplies, our forces are scattered, and our morale is low. These are realities we have to face."
Zhong Yao's voice was steady and powerful, each word carrying the weight of deep thought.
"However, as the saying goes, 'every crisis has its opportunity,' and our current predicament may also be a turning point for our Yellow Turban Army."
"The war between the Great Xuan Dynasty and the rebel king is a good opportunity for us to grow stronger."
He paused, his gaze sweeping across Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Tianxuan's faces, before continuing.
Zhong Yao's analysis was so insightful and reasonable that both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Tianxuan nodded in agreement.
Zhong Yao is a rare strategist among the Yellow Turban Army.
His insights and judgments often reveal the essence of things.
"So, in your opinion, how should we proceed?"
Zhu Yuanzhang turned his gaze to Zhong Yao behind Zhang Tianxuan, his words carrying a hint of inquiry and expectation.
At this critical moment, any constructive advice could be the key to turning the tide.
Zhong Yao, one of the few strategists among the Yellow Turbans, appeared unusually calm at this moment.
He first bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang before slowly speaking.
Every word seemed to be the result of careful consideration.
