The Yellow Turban Rebellion failed partly because each leader had his own selfish agenda and was unwilling to rescue each other.
When the imperial army was besieging Julu, the Black Mountain Army, numbering one million, was on the flank, but they watched Julu being besieged.
Chu Feiyan was not a good person. When Cao Cao attacked, he surrendered all of the one million Black Mountain troops to Cao Cao in exchange for the titles of General Pingbei and Marquis of Anguoting.
At the beginning, he asked Zhang Baiqi to lead the Blood-Drinking White Cavalry back from the Great Xia Kingdom to serve as Zhang Niu Jiao's deputy general, so that there would be someone to take over if something happened to Zhang Niu Jiao.
As a result, Zhang Niujiao acted on his own initiative and placed all his subordinates under Chu Feiyan's command.
If this continues, the protection of Julu's left wing will become an empty talk, and his previous arrangements will come to nothing.
After entering Julu County, Lin Han rushed to Julu City without stopping.
Although Yingtao was nearby, he did not go there, but needed to see Zhang Jue first.
Zhang Jue still sat firmly in the inner contemplation of the Taiping Dao. The battle in Julu County was commanded by Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, who were now resisting Lu Zhi's army in Guangping.
Seeing Lin Han coming, Zhang Jiao smiled slightly, coughed a few times, and felt worse than before.
"Master, is your health okay?" Lin Han asked worriedly.
"Master, I have been trying to understand the mysteries of the heavens too much, and have been punished by the heavens. My body is almost exhausted."
"this……"
Lin Han was silent.
It was obvious that there was something seriously wrong with Zhang Jue's health.
According to historical settings, Zhang Jue would die of illness in September.
The system will most likely not change this setting. The Yellow Turban Army will definitely be defeated, and Zhang Jiao will definitely be unable to turn the tide. By then, the Yellow Turban Army will be in disarray.
By then, no matter what the battle situation is, the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban Army will decline.
"Birth, aging, sickness, and death are commonplace in life. There's no need to worry too much." Zhang Jue smiled carefreely and said, "Master, I heard that your war in the north is progressing smoothly. The situation is stable and progressing. Your command arrangements are very good."
"Master, the northern part of Jizhou is basically pacified, but there is a hidden danger."
"where?"
"Zhang Niujiao disobeyed my instructions and abandoned the attack on Yecheng, allowing Lu Zhi's troops to advance northward unopposed, all the way to Guangping. He led Chu Feiyan and others to attack Yingtao, but was unfortunately killed by a stray arrow. He then took the initiative and handed over the command of the Black Mountain Army to Chu Feiyan.
The Black Mountain Army defended Julu's left flank, but now that it's lost, Lu Zhi is advancing straight into Julu. Chu Feiyan lacks talent and disobeys military orders. He's obsessed with fame and fortune, and if the court promises him honor, he might surrender, posing a significant threat.
"I have learned about Zhang Niu Jiao's matter. Are you here for this matter? What are your plans?" Zhang Jiao coughed a few times and his face turned a little pale.
"The Black Mountain Army is one of the main forces of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and their power must be divided."
"How do we divide it?"
"The Black Mountain Army can be divided into four divisions. Chu Feiyan's division can be led by himself. We will not share power, otherwise there will be conflicts. Zhang Niujiao's division can be divided among Yu Du, Zhang Baiqi and me. Some of the leaders of the Black Mountain Army do not obey my orders, so I came to see Master and need your orders."
"good."
Zhang Jue nodded in agreement and ordered the young Taoist priest to bring pen and ink. According to Lin Han's arrangement, Sun Qing, Wang Dang, Du Chang and other leaders would be led by Chu Feiyan.
Bai Rao and other troops were under the command of Commander Du, Sui Gu was under the command of Commander Zhang Baiqi, and Tao Sheng's troops were under the command of Commander Lin Han.
After the arrangements were completed, Zhang Jiao handed the handwritten note to Lin Han.
"Master, please send someone to Yantao." Lin Han returned the handwritten letter to Zhang Jiao: "I can't go there in person, otherwise Chu Feiyan will think I'm trying to seize power. If the handwritten letter arrives first, I can go there later, which will be legitimate."
"good."
Zhang Jue called a messenger scout and gave him the imperial edict, asking him to deliver it to Yingtao as quickly as possible and read it out in public.
"Master, you must take care of yourself. Now that the north is pacified, even if Julu is lost, we still have a retreat to the north. Leave the command of the troops to me." Lin Han said.
"I will, my good disciple." Zhang Jue smiled and nodded, "Just go ahead and do it."
"good."
Lin Han stayed in the Taiping Taoist Temple for a day, and the next day he put on armor and led his troops to Yingtao.
The impact of the Montenegrin Army incident must be minimized.
The Black Mountain Army surrendered to Cao Cao only after Zhang Jue's death and the Yellow Turbans were basically dispersed. However, during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, only Yu Du, Sui Gu and others did anything.
Chu Feiyan's actions were nominally supporting the campaign against Dong Zhuo, but she achieved nothing. She later assisted Gongsun Zan and was defeated by Yuan Shao.
Throughout the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Chu Feiyan watched from the sidelines without sending troops to support Julu. Finally, he surrendered to Cao Cao, exchanging a million soldiers for fame and nobility.
It took two days to reach Yingtao.
Lin Han saw that the city of Yingtao was in a mess, having been burned, killed and looted.
He speculated that Zhang Niujiao's death angered the Yellow Turbans, which led to their wanton revenge and burning and killing in the city.
After all, Zhang Niujiao's troops were still bandits, and they did not have the Taiping Dao beliefs of the authentic Yellow Turban Army under the command of the three Zhang Jiao brothers.
Chu Feiyan and others were in the mansion of the county magistrate of Yingtao City.
Among the people waiting for Lin Han, Chu Feiyan looked unhappy, and it was obvious that she had received the handwritten order from Julu.
"Meet the Divine Envoy."
Seeing Lin Han coming, Chu Feiyan bowed to Lin Han weakly. Her expression was not respectful, but perfunctory.
The other generals under Chu Feiyan were the same as him.
Chu Feiyan was deeply moved by Zhang Niujiao's help and benefits, and changed her name to Zhang Yan.
Now, with a handwritten note from Zhang Jiao, most of the benefits were gone.
Originally, all the Black Mountain troops were under his command, but due to a handwritten order from Zhang Jue, they were divided into four parts.
"I know everything about the Battle of Julu. Master knows that the battle in Yecheng was not going well, and Senior Brother Zhang Niujiao unfortunately died in Yingtao. Now Lu Zhi's army is attacking Guangping and is approaching Julu, so he ordered me to come and lead the battle."
