Chapter 173 Yellow Turban Discussion
The night was dark, and after his anger, Zhang Jue finally calmed down.

He sat alone in the tent, the anger on his face had faded, replaced by a deep thought.

He knew that as the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, he could not let his emotions get out of control, nor could he let anger influence his decision-making.

Now, he needs to call together his most capable assistants to discuss countermeasures to deal with the current crisis.

Zhang Jue issued an order to summon the current Yellow Turbans' top commander Meng Zhang, as well as his own disciples Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Tianxuan to come to the big tent.

These three are the core figures in the Yellow Turban Army in Luzhou. They are both wise and brave, and are deeply trusted and relied upon by Zhang Jue.

There is no need to say much about Meng Zhang.

At present, he is the one who is bearing most of the pressure from Daqian on the battlefield of Luzhou.

As long as the front battlefield that Meng Zhang is responsible for is not lost.

There is still hope for Luzhou.

During this period, Zhu Yuanzhang also relied on people led by Chang Yuchun and others.

He took advantage of his status as Zhang Jiao's direct disciple to gain considerable power within the Yellow Turban Army.

Not to mention Zhang Tianxuan, although he has only joined for a short time.

However, he inherited all the Taoist skills from Zhang Jue.

Currently, most of the Yellow Turban Army has talents in Taoism, such as Ruyunlong Gongsun Sheng and others.

They all gathered under Zhang Tianxuan's command.

Soon, the three of them arrived at Zhang Jue's tent one after another.

Seeing that Zhang Jue had regained his former calmness and dignity, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As long as Zhang Jue, the core of the Taiping Sect, is still there, the Yellow Turban Army still has hope.

"The collapse of the Ruizhou front was caused by my negligence."

"But failure is a thing of the past. What we need to do now is to find out the reasons for the failure and develop a new strategy."

Zhang Jue gestured for the three to sit down, then spoke slowly.

"The Daqian army is strong, well-equipped, and has fast logistical support."

"And our army is now exhausted after days of fighting."

"In addition, the generals of the Daqian on the opposite side are no ordinary people. Yin Yuanxun's tactics are flexible and changeable, 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 other side only gathered its strength to deal with him on the front battlefield, Meng Zhang would definitely not be afraid.

He was confident that the people on the Tianwu Continent might be able to defeat him in one or two games.

But I want to defeat him head-on.

Absolutely impossible!

But unfortunately, they rely on the number of commanders they have.

They didn't even fight together with Meng Zhang.

Instead, Yin Yuanxun held Meng Zhang back from the front.

The rest of the commanders swarmed to the side battlefields.

Seek opportunities to break through the Yellow Turban Army's flank.

It's exactly the same tactics as the Wuzhou side on the other side.

But there is no way, this is an open conspiracy.

I just bully you by relying on my large number of talented people and profound background.

What's the matter!

You, Meng Zhang, are really awesome.

But if you have the guts, split yourself into dozens of bodies and go to different battlefields to take charge and show me how!
A battle involving millions of troops.

I don't know how big the battle line has been opened.

Meng Zhang was held back by the enemy and could only focus on the front battlefield.

We can't help on other battlefields.

"These are all objective reasons, but we must also admit that our army also had many problems in tactics and command on the side battlefield."

"We need to sum up our experience and lessons, strengthen training and equipment, and improve the combat effectiveness of the military."

Hearing Meng Zhang's words, Zhang Jue nodded in agreement.

He also knew that there was only one person in the Yellow Turban Army who could fight on a battlefield with an army of hundreds of thousands.

Meng Zhang is the only one who carries the responsibility alone.

But even a good cook cannot cook without rice.

Even though the Yellow Turbans have gone through several rounds of balance enhancement, they are still inferior to the Daqian, which has hundreds of years of history.

Still seems a bit thin.

"But under the current situation, we currently need a more rapid and effective response."

"Yuanzhang, Tianxuan, what suggestions do you two have?"

Zhang Jue looked at the two disciples standing beside him.

"Master, I think we still need to strengthen the collection and analysis of intelligence."

“Only by understanding the dynamics and intentions of the enemy can we develop more effective strategies.”

"The main reason for the defeat in the Ruizhou battlefield was that they failed to detect the arrival of Nangong Tianxia and Lei Ze Longqi, which resulted in Huang Chao and others being unable to fight back."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the information about the Ruizhou battlefield on the table and continued speaking.

Although the people on the Ruizhou battlefield at that time knew of the arrival of Nangong Tianxia and others.

The result will not change.

But at least it gave Huang Chao a chance to retreat calmly.

This allowed him to preserve most of the Yellow Turban Army's forces and withdraw to Luzhou.

Not like this now.

The leaders Huang Chao and Zhang Bao were captured.

The Ruizhou front collapsed across the board.

"Yuan Zhang is right."

"Intelligence work was indeed our previous negligence."

"Because the Yellow Turban Army is new, it has not invested much in intelligence."

"From now on, we must strengthen our efforts in this regard to ensure that we can obtain timely and accurate intelligence on the enemy."

Zhang Jue nodded heavily.

There's no way. Intelligence is something that relies on foundation.

Doesn’t Zhang Jue know the importance of intelligence?

Doesn't he want to do it?
He can't afford that.

The Yellow Turban Army has been fighting against Daqian since its uprising.

Everything inside is being revived.

Everything requires a lot of investment.

Where would there be any spare resources to build something as luxurious as an intelligence network?

Currently, the Yellow Turban Army's intelligence network still relies on some unwanted intelligence donated by those behind the Taiping Sect.

"Master, we can try to change our tactics and strategies."

"We may have relied too much on direct battles before, and neglected the use of surprise attacks, guerrilla warfare and other tactics."

"We have a large number of Yellow Turbans, which is our advantage. We can use the terrain and manpower advantages to adopt flexible and varied tactics to attack the enemy."

Zhang Tianxuan thought for a moment and then suggested.

Zhang Jue's eyes flashed with admiration: "Tian Xuan's suggestion is very creative."

"Indeed, we cannot always stick to traditional tactical thinking."

"The large number of soldiers and personnel caused by the Yellow Turban uprisings is our biggest advantage."

"Flexible and varied tactics will be the key to our victory over the enemy."

Zhang Jue pondered for a moment and discovered the Yellow Turban Army in Luzhou.

Except for a part of them who were led by Meng Zhang to fight Daqian on the front battlefield.

The rest of the Yellow Turban Army stayed in the rear as reserve for Meng Zhang.

This would be a huge waste of the Yellow Turban Army's numerical advantage.

Meng Zhang stood aside, looking at the feng shui map of mountains and rivers on the table, recalling the smoke of the Luzhou battlefield, and his heart was filled with waves.

He turned and looked at Zhang Jue beside him, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, whose eyes also shone with a deep light.

"General Tian Gong."

Meng Zhang spoke, his voice calm.

"In the battle of Luzhou, although the army of the Daqian court was pinned down by us, they have a deep foundation. If this continues for a long time, it will be disadvantageous to us."

"I think the Taiping Sect should find another way out for the Yellow Turban Army."
