The World of Yellow Sky

Therefore, the relationship between Geng Bi and the powerful families of Liangzhou is not very good. The orders of Liangzhou's aristocratic families are mostly obedient to Geng Bi, and they don't do their best.

Before Geng Bi took office, he ordered all regions to recruit warriors to increase the combat power of the county soldiers. Most of the recruits recruited by the six counties of Liangzhou were recruited with the help of powerful families in Liangzhou.

In fact, the soldiers in the six counties of Liangzhou are almost under the control of these aristocratic families.

But because of Cheng Qiu's incident, Geng Bi had a bad relationship with these powerful families in Liangzhou.

Gai Xun, the former prefect of the Han Army County, saw Geng Bi's absurd behavior, self-willedness, and antagonism with the powerful Liangzhou family, so he concluded that Geng Bi would definitely lose to Han Sui, and he would lose in the battle.

Gai Xun didn't want to be with Geng Bi, so he abandoned his official position and went home.

After Fu Xie took office, he also discovered the clues. Although he had repeatedly advised Geng Bi on his policy, Geng Bi ignored all of them and refused to take a single word.

Now the relationship between Geng Bi and the powerful families in Liangzhou is almost in dire straits. The Han army is already weak in strength, and the only thing it can rely on is those deep-rooted powerful families with elite troops and strong generals.

But Geng Bi is undoubtedly cutting off his own arm now, not to mention whether these powerful families will do their best, Fu Xie even doubts that these powerful families may even turn against him.

And now the kingdom rebelled again in Di County, and the military strength of the rebel army has been strengthened again. One will ebb and flow, how can the weak defeat the strong?

In such a situation, if Geng Bi took the initiative to attack, he was undoubtedly seeking his own death.

Fu Xie may not care about Geng Bi's life or death, but what he cares about is that if Geng Bi leads the Han Empire's last army in Liangzhou to defeat, the entire Liangzhou will completely fall into the hands of the rebels, and there will be no resistance left.

Now the war in Hedong County is critical, Shangdang County has fallen into the hands of bandits, and the Huns in the north are ready to move. Fu Xie must save Liangzhou for the country.

Fu Xie hurried all the way, and finally arrived at Ji County. At this time, Ji County was full of murderous atmosphere, and the Han army from the six counties was gathering towards Ji County because of Geng Bi's summoning.

Even though these aristocratic families were unwilling, Geng Bi's governor of Liangzhou was appointed by the emperor himself, and he was a symbol of the Han Empire in Liangzhou. Those aristocratic families did not dare to openly disobey Geng Bi's orders.

Fu Xie galloped all the way to the government office in Ji County, and as soon as he tied up his horse, he watched Cheng Qiu walk out of the government office in Ji County.

Fu Xie was furious, and walked forward quickly, grabbed Cheng Qiu's collar, and cursed, "You idiot!"

At first, Cheng Qiu didn't see Fu Xie outside the government office at all, but at this moment someone grabbed his collar and lifted him up, and he trembled in fright.

The guards outside the government office, seeing that it was Fu Xie, did not dare to step forward to dissuade him.

After all, of these two, one is engaged in Zhizhong, and the other is the sheriff of Hanyang County. How dare they intervene as guards.

Looking at Cheng Qiu's face, Fu Xie felt extremely disgusted in his heart. This Cheng Qiu is very cunning, he has no ability other than being good at flattery.

"Now that the enemy is strong and we are weak, how dare you confuse the envoy to send troops." Fu Xie said angrily, "If the army is defeated, the entire Liangzhou will fall into the hands of thieves. Have you ever thought about the consequences like this?"

At this time, Cheng Qiu also came back to his senses, seeing that it was Fu Xie and not some assassin and gangster, he no longer panicked.

At that moment Cheng Qiu said in a cold voice: "Who do I know? It turns out that the prefect of Hanyang County is Fu Xie Fu Nanrong."

"In front of Shijun's gate, Fu Nanrong, how dare you be so presumptuous, let go!"

Fu Xie's complexion changed a few times, but he finally let go of his hand. If he played Cheng Qiu here and caused a commotion, he might not even see Geng Bi's face.

"I thought you were just a treacherous villain, but I didn't expect you to be a fool."

Fu Xie glared at Cheng Qiu, snorted coldly with disdain, and walked past Cheng Qiu with two followers.

Cheng Qiu watched Fu Xie go away with a sneer on his face.

In his opinion, Fu Xie was nothing more than a sensationalist. Although Han Sui and Wang Guo claimed to have a crowd of tens of thousands and a great momentum, they were just a mob with only 6 or [-] soldiers under their command.

Then Han Sui's subordinates are only Qiang cavalry and the original Han soldiers who can be used. The Kingdom's subordinates are just a group of mobs, so they have no combat power.

It was only because the Han army didn't react that it was able to invade all the way to Sansuke before. Wasn't it easily defeated by Zhang Wen later?

Although Zhou Shen and Dong Zhuo failed in pursuit, it was their carelessness. Now the six counties of Liangzhou have recruited more than 4 soldiers, and there are many Qiang cavalry to help them break through the kingdom and Han Sui's army. Rebels, however, are a piece of cake.

At that time, with Cheng Qiu's military achievements in pacifying Liangzhou, and the surplus money he has accumulated for so long, he will be able to open up the joints, even if he is named Marquis, it will not be surprising.

Thinking of this, Cheng Qiu straightened his wrinkled clothes and walked out of the mansion slowly.

……

Geng Bi was self-willed and had a plan in mind, so how could he be persuaded by Fu Xie's few words.

Fu Xie was even more furious, and finally the two had an argument. Fu Xie threw the whip in the hall, scolded Geng Bi Zhuzi, talked about his shortcomings and schemes, and walked away angrily.

Although Fu Xie wrote to Luoyang immediately after returning to Hanyang County, it took time to transmit the letter after all.

In the end, nothing could stop Geng Bi from calling up an army.

Although Fu Xie didn't want to obey his orders, Geng Bi was the governor of Liangzhou personally ordered by the emperor, so Fu Xie could only obey his orders and dispatched more than half of the soldiers in Hanyang County to answer the call.

In mid-April of the fourth year of Zhongping.

Geng Bi led an army to Didao County, Longxi County, confronted Han Sui and the Kingdom's allied forces, and set up a military camp in the east of Didao County.

The vanguard cavalry of the Han army easily expelled Han Sui and the scouts of the Kingdom's coalition forces, which made Geng Bi complacent.

What he didn't know was that the patience of the lieutenant general and the powerful families in Liangzhou had reached the limit.

Li Canduan, the prefect of Longxi County, was sitting in the military tent, and when he thought of what happened this morning, he was completely outraged.

Outside the camp, there was a sound of footsteps, and the heavy camp curtain was lifted.

A middle-aged man in dark clothes walked into the military tent. When Li Shen saw the person coming, he immediately stood up and walked forward.

Li Shen looked annoyed, and said: "Bo Ying, you and I have known each other for a long time, and I don't tell you trivial things. Today, Cheng Qiu made things difficult for you and me many times, and even dared to withhold food and grass when the big battle is coming."

"Gai Yuangu is right. Li Zi is not enough to conspire. Han Sui and Wang Guo's rebel forces are powerful. Geng Bi is at odds with his morality. How can he win? It's better to turn his mother against Cheng Qiu and Geng Bi. Head."

Huang Yan raised his eyebrows. Although he also resented Cheng Qiu, he had no intention of rebelling.

But Huang Yan also knew that if he said no at this time, the soldiers outside the army tent would chop him into pieces in no time.

Huang Yan's complexion changed several times, and finally he became ruthless.

"The two of us have been friends for many years. If you are going to make a big deal today, there is no reason why you should not follow it!"

……

Li Xiangru, the prefect of Longxi County, rebelled, and Huang Yan, the prefect of Jiuquan, led the army to kill Cheng Qiu and then Geng Bi, and the Han army dispersed in an uproar.

Afterwards, Li Xiangru, Huang Yan, Army Sima Ma Teng and others all led their troops to surrender to Han Sui.

Losing the protection of the Han army, Geng Bi died, and the powerful families in Liangzhou who had long been dissatisfied all turned to support Han Sui, and the six counties of Liangzhou almost surrendered.

When Fu Xie received the news, Han Sui and Wang Guo's coalition forces were only fifty miles away from Ji County, the prefecture of Hanyang County.

Some officials advised Fu Xie to abandon the city and flee, but Fu Xie sternly refused, saying that as the prefect, he had the responsibility of guarding the land, so how could he abandon the city and flee.

The Liangzhou rebels surrounded Ji County heavily, but there were only more than [-] county soldiers in the city of Ji County.

The rest of the county soldiers, as well as those Qiang people who had originally belonged to Fu Xie, were conscripted by Geng Bi.

……

Fu Xie was wearing Xuanjia and stood on the city wall of Ji County, his general flag was erected behind him.

What puzzled Fu Xie was that the rebels outside the city had surrounded Ji County for two days, but they did not launch an attack.

Ji County has few soldiers and few generals. If the rebels attack, they can win a battle. They have no reason to stay still.

Just when Fu Xie was puzzled, suddenly there was a commotion in the rebel camp outside the city, and then a brigade of cavalry rushed out of the rebel camp, about three or four thousand cavalry.

Fu Xie's face was solemn, he clenched the Han sword slung around his waist, and at the same time the trumpet sounded at the head of Ji County.

But to Fu Xie's surprise, these rebels stopped not far outside the city, and then three or four thousand cavalrymen knelt down on the ground together.

A Qiang cavalry soldier holding a talisman walked to the city gate with a Han cavalry. The Han cavalry was Huang Yan, the former prefect of Jiuquan.

The Qiang people asked Fu Xie to give up resistance and leave the city, and vowed to ensure that Fu Xie returned to his hometown Beidi County safely.

Fu Xie was a native of Lingzhou, Beidi County, and was born in the Fu family of Liangzhou.

These people who begged for mercy were the Qiang people from Beidi County. Fu Xie had kindness to them, and they came here to repay their kindness. There were also the Qiang people who were originally sent by Hanyang County to belong to the Qiang people outside Fu Xie's city.

Fu Xie looked around at the soldiers on the city wall, and he saw the desire for life in their eyes.

Fu Gan is the son of Fu Xie. Although he is only 13 years old, he also took up the weapon, put on the armor, and stood on the city wall with his father.

He heard the Huns outside begging Fu Xie to give up resistance, but knowing his father Mo Ruozi, he also knew that his father had a strong character and valued fame and integrity, so he might not accept the Qiang people's suggestion.

Fu Gan pondered for a long time, but decided to persuade his father, saying: "The country is in a state of confusion, so the lord is not allowed to be in the court. Today, the people have rebelled, and the soldiers are not enough to defend themselves. The Qiang Hu in the village was first benevolent, and he wanted to order the county to return. The wish must be granted. Xu went to the village, led the righteous disciples, and helped the world when he saw the way..."

Before Fu Gan could finish speaking, Fu Xie interrupted his words and sighed emotionally:

"Don't be Fu Gan's little words, do you know that I have to die here today? It is the so-called Shengda Festival, the next festival, and the violence of Yin and Zhou. Boyi died without eating Zhou millet. Zhongni called him a sage. The current court does not Even Yin and Zhou, how can my virtues be surpassed by Boyi?"

"The chaos of the world can't foster great aspirations, and food and wealth want to avoid the difficulties? What do I do, I must die like this, don't make it, I know that you are smart since you were young, and you will definitely achieve great things in the future..."

At this time, Fu Gan was choked up and could not speak anymore, and the guards beside Fu Xie turned their heads away one after another. They had been favored by Fu Xie for many years, and they knew that their lord already had the will to die.

In April of the fourth year of Zhongping, Fu Xie led his troops out of the city and died in a fierce battle.

At this point, the entire territory of Liangzhou fell, and the Han Empire completely lost control of Liangzhou.

Chapter 214 It's a Prophecy

"Retreat! Retreat!!!"

A eagle wolf Wei Tiqi wearing a black robe waved the seal in his hand and galloped through the streets of Jiangyi City.

Following the shouts of Yinglang Wei Tiqi, the news of the retreat of the Han army swept across the city like a tornado.

The Han army outside Jiangyi City is retreating in an orderly manner. More than half of the camps of the Han army have been vacant, and nearly half of the Han army has already embarked on the road of returning south.

Even Yicheng, which had been recaptured by the Han army, was also abandoned by the Han army.

The main force of the Han army is about to withdraw. Yicheng is located around Wangwu Mountain, east of Jiangyi, judging from the territory occupied by the Yellow Turban and the Han army.

The Han army must also abandon Yicheng. The area currently controlled by the Han army is just an isolated city behind the enemy. Now the main force of the Han army is retreating.

Moreover, Yicheng is not a big and solid city, so it is even more difficult to defend.

Xu An leaned on the railing of the city tower, Yan Zhong, Xu Huang, Lu Bu and others were lined up beside Xu An.

"Duke Ming deserves to be the man who bears the destiny. He can see thousands of miles away, and his wisdom is like a god." Yan Zhong watched the retreat of the Han army, and remembered the Liangzhou military report from the Eagle Wolf Wei Tiqi a few days ago, and he couldn't help sighing. road.

Lu Bu, Gao Shun and the others looked at Xu An with a hint of awe in their eyes.

If it is said that Lu Bu, Gao Shun and others surrendered, it was just a situational move and could not be reused in the Han army, but at this time they did not have much resistance to submitting to Xu An's command.

The ghosts and gods that they had heard in the past appeared vividly in front of their eyes, and they couldn't help but believe it.

Before the Han army forced Jiangyi, Xu An did not take the initiative to attack, but relied on Jiangyi to fight every step of the way, sticking to the city and delaying time.

He also said that the stalemate in Liangzhou will soon be broken, the Han army will be defeated in the battle of Liangzhou, the governor of Liangzhou, Geng Bi, will die in the chaos, and the Han Empire will completely lose its rule over Liangzhou.

When Xu An said that, Lu Bu, Gao Shun and the others naturally had doubts, but Xu An always kept his promise, and even spread the prediction to the whole army.

Now that the military report of Eagle Wolf Wei Tiqi came, and the withdrawal of the Han army, it confirmed Xu An's prophecy.

In the city of Jiangyi, tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers held their weapons high and praised Xu An's prophecy loudly. They shouted "The world is auspicious" and cheered to their great virtuous teachers, celebrating the retreat of the Han army. .

"Wan Sheng!!!"

In the barracks, countless soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army walked out of the barracks. They hugged each other and cheered loudly.

Yang Mu stood where he was, and the surrounding soldiers of the Golden Armored Army shouted loudly, but he stared blankly at the big khaki flag on the Jiangyi city tower, with a look of awe in his eyes.

Although he joined the Taiping Dao, in fact, he was skeptical before, until today, when Xu An's prophecy came true, he truly believed that there are ghosts and gods at this time, and Xu An is Huang Tian's incarnation in the world.

Otherwise, why can one word become a prophecy, Lian Zhan Lian Jie?

Their great and virtuous teacher is the man of destiny, the incarnation of Huang Tian!

Lu Bu recalled the simple conversation he had with Xu An when he just returned.

Xu An wanted to send Tiqi from the Eagle Wolf Guard to Shangjun to pick up their family members. During the conversation, Lu Bu found that Xu An even knew his wife's surname was Yan.

At that time, Lu Bu was only slightly suspicious, but he didn't think deeply about it. Now it seems that Xu An really has something extraordinary.

Lu Bu thought about his experience over the past month. He thought of the attitudes of the people around Xu An towards Xu An, and the expressions on the faces of those soldiers when they talked about Xu An. Lu Bu couldn't help being moved.

The sound of footsteps interrupted Lu Bu's thoughts.

Lu Bu turned his head to look, and saw a short-bearded middle-aged man with a sullen complexion and a wolf embroidered with gold thread on his robe, leading two hundred households of the eagle wolf guards up the tower.

"Liu Pi pays homage to the lord."

Liu Pi made a show respectfully to Xu An, and also saw Lu Bu and his party beside Xu An, Liu Pi frowned slightly but said nothing.

Seeing that Liu Pi had arrived, Xu An tilted his head and introduced to Lu Bu and the others: "This is Liu Pi, the commander of the Eagle and Wolf Guards of my Taiping Dao. The one who conveyed the military situation of Liangzhou in the past few days is his subordinate. Tiqi."

"I met Commander Liu."

Lu Bu, Gao Shun and others greeted Liu Pi one after another.
