🔥 Story 3 : Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun Burn the Yellow Turban Army

At that time, Zhang Jiao had 150,000 troops (the Yellow Turban Army), while Lu Zhi had 50,000 soldiers. They were locked in a stalemate at Guangzong (a place name), with no clear victor. Lu Zhi analyzed the situation for Liu Bei, saying, "I am besieging the rebel army here. The Yellow Turban rebels' brothers, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao, are stationed in Yingchuan (a place name), confronting Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun. You can lead your troops, and I will send an additional 1,000 official soldiers to assist you. Go to Yingchuan (a place name) to gather intelligence and arrange a date to encircle and capture them." Liu Bei accepted the order and led his army on a night march, heading towards Yingchuan under the starry sky. At that time, generals Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun led their troops to resist the Yellow Turban rebels' offensive. The Yellow Turbans, facing setbacks, retreated to Changshe (a place name), using the grass as makeshift tents and camps. Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun devised a plan: "Since the Yellow Turbans are using the grass for tents and camps, we should attack them with fire." Therefore, they ordered their soldiers to tie bundles of grass to each other and secretly ambush them. That night, a strong wind suddenly arose. After midnight, they all set fire to the camp. Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun each led their soldiers to attack the Yellow Turban camp. Flames filled the sky, and the Yellow Turbans panicked. Their horses were not saddled, and their men were not dressed in armor. They scattered and fled. The fighting continued until dawn. Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao led their defeated and remaining troops in a desperate escape. At this time, Liu Bei, along with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, had just arrived in Yingchuan. Hearing the sounds of battle in the distance and seeing the firelight illuminating the sky, he quickly led his troops to the scene. However, the bandits had already been scattered and fled.

Attack guidance, defense guidance, guidance on rapid troop equipment, guidance on temporary encampment locations

1. Why did the Yellow Turban rebels suffer such a complete defeat?

Because: They were attacked by fire.

They were unprepared, unprepared for a possible fire attack.

They were caught off guard by the fire attack; they were ambushed; the fire attack was sudden.

They did not make proper defenses, lacked vigilance, and had no time to react.

They saw the fire was very large and high, and their mood was: very frightened.

They also lacked good equipment; their equipment was incomplete. Their tents, campsites, and tents were all made of straw.

Since their tents, campsites, and tents were all made of straw... They (the Yellow Turban soldiers) didn't build firebreaks, didn't appoint guards,

lacked a night watch schedule, or a rotation of sentries,

and didn't have time to equip themselves with saddles or wear helmets and leather armor;

they also lacked: designated patrol personnel, didn't monitor wind direction,

they didn't use other materials to make tents, and didn't separate the tents.

When the fire broke out, of course, none of them could escape.

The TSMC Kumamoto plant in Japan; the TSMC Arizona plant in the United States. Did they have:

dungeons?

firebreaks?

guards?

designed night watch schedules?

provided themselves with saddles (driver's licenses, engineering vehicle operating licenses)?

they didn't have time to wear helmets and leather armor (dustproof clothing and sterile suits)?

designated patrol personnel?

monitored wind direction (real wind direction, online wind direction, physical wind direction, combined wind direction) (public opinion)?

used other materials to make tents?

they didn't separate the tents? (Factory Building Material)

2. How could the Yellow Turban Army avoid such a defeat?

They needed to confirm the surrounding environment, avoid mistakes, and prepare sentries.

They needed to conduct thorough training. They needed to actively seek information.

They needed to be vigilant, send sentries, pay close attention, be cautious, maintain alertness, and be constantly on guard.

They needed to be more alert.

They needed to avoid setting up camp, tents, or encampments on grass. (Factory Building Material)

They needed to have sentries on guard every night to maintain defense.

They needed to avoid using straw for tents. Campsites should be well-defended and located in good places.

They needed to establish good defenses, manage the area in zones, and establish clear boundaries between zones. (Factory Building Material)

They needed to dig and construct firebreaks. (Factory Building Material)

They needed to set up guard posts around the camp, designate night watch schedules, arrange rotating sentries, and assign patrol personnel.

They needed to train soldiers and collect resources.

They needed a strategist who could observe wind direction to prevent the wind from amplifying the fire.

(Public Opinion) (True Trends, Online Trends, Real-World Trends, Overall Trends)

Be fully prepared. Don't panic when things happen.

3. What kind of advisors did the Yellow Turban Army need most?

Attack guidance, defense guidance, guidance on rapidly equipping troops, guidance on temporary encampments.

They probably needed most: guidance on temporary encampments. There should be no grass, and there should be firebreaks.

Their tents, campsites, and tents were all made of grass. Since their tents, campsites, and tents were all made of grass, they (the Yellow Turban soldiers) didn't build firebreaks, didn't secure guards, lacked a night watch schedule, didn't arrange rotating sentries, didn't designate patrol personnel, didn't check wind direction, didn't use other materials to make tents, and didn't separate the tents. When a fire broke out, of course, they couldn't escape.

They also needed: guidance on rapidly equipping troops, temporary troop leadership, guidance on temporary encampments, attack guidance, defense guidance, and defensive guidance.
