The World of Yellow Sky

When the Han Empire was getting weaker and weaker, these nomadic peoples in the north had begun to rise gradually...

Xu An glanced at Yan Zhong with a stern expression, but he didn't fully tell Yan Zhong what he was thinking.

In fact, he was not worried about the Southern Huns. There were Luliang Mountain, Taihang Mountain, Taiyue Mountain and other places as natural dangers, and his troops could still deal with them.

For the time being, the Southern Huns could not threaten the area currently controlled by the Yellow Turban Army, and Guo Tai and Zhang Yan in history, as well as Shangdang County controlled by the Han Empire, all repelled the attack of the Southern Huns.

Xu An fell into panic just because history had begun to change beyond recognition, and he felt as if everything had suddenly lost control.

Now that I come back to my senses, my heart has settled down a lot.

Although the history has changed, he has already established a foundation before the chaos of the world.

Sitting in the land of Shangdang and Hedong counties, there are more than 50 soldiers and civilians under his command, and there are nearly [-] generals and schools under his command after taking over Lu Bu.

Taoist halls in various places have also been established one after another, and the number of available civil servants has gradually increased. Coupled with the establishment of the Eagle Wolf Guard, Xu An's ability to govern the local area has also been greatly strengthened.

Xu An walked all the way, and there are countless more thrilling things than now. When he was standing alone in the forest of Quyang, he walked over Kuicheng and Fenshui when he was standing alone at Jingxing Pass.

"Draw--"

The wooden door was opened by the guards guarding the courtyard, followed by the voice of the guards guarding outside the house.

"Commander Liu Pi of the Eagle Wolf Guard, please see me."

Xu An's frown relaxed a little, he was still wondering when the Eagle Guard made such a big mistake, when would Liu Pi report to him.

"Let him in."

"promise."

After the personal guard sang a promise, there were several whispers from outside the house.

Then Liu Pi's figure appeared in front of Xu An and Yan Zhong.

"See my lord, military advisor."

Liu Pi entered the house and bowed first, his face was extremely embarrassed.

Before Xu An could ask a question, Liu Pi had already revealed a very bad news.

"Eagle Guard's intelligence department in Hedong County was wiped out overnight by the Han army, and only one escaped by chance..."

Xu An narrowed his eyes slightly. Although the Han Empire was decaying, there were still capable people. The role of the Eagle Guards was finally discovered by the Han Empire.

The aristocratic and powerful families in Hedong County are deeply rooted. At this time in the Han Dynasty, only a few people except rangers would go hiking, and ordinary farmers and residents would stay in one place for a long time.

The sudden new faces can be recognized as long as you put in the effort. If the Eagle Wolf Guard wants to develop into the scale of Jin Yiwei in the future, it still needs more time and experience.

Just when Xu An was thinking, Liu Pi told Xu An the good news again.

"The roster of detectives and eyes and ears for development was in the hands of the man who escaped, and was not captured by the Han army."

Xu An closed his eyes, and was able to keep the roster under the surprise attack of the Han army. He couldn't imagine what happened to the Eagle Guard Intelligence Department in Hedong County.

After a long silence, Xu An asked, "How many people died..."

Liu Pi took out a roll of bamboo slips from his sleeve, and the bamboo slips recorded the list of the dead Tiqi. He pushed it forward and replied, "Two from a hundred households, ten banner officials, and 42 Tiqi... ..."

Liu Pi was silent for a while, then spoke again.

"The reason why Yingwei was attacked in the intelligence department of Hedong County has been found out. Most of the agents and eyes and ears of the development are local people who believe in the way of peace. The Han army seems to have accepted orders. It is said that the false emperor Liu Hong ordered a strict investigation. Taipingdao, this has involved our Eagle Guard."

Xu An was a little surprised. "Liu Hong?"

Liu Pi went on to say: "I have already selected ten Tiqi from the Eagle Guards, and at night let them set off from Pingyang and sneak into Hedong County to use the roster to directly develop the local scouts and eyes and ears as Tiqi."

"Those aristocratic families are powerful and powerful. If a stranger's face appears, they cannot escape their eyes and ears. Therefore, I plan to let all the Yingwei Tiqi who are outside switch places, and then all hide in the dark, and let the locals spy and develop. The Tiqi who came out came forward."

Xu An stared into Liu Pi's eyes and said, "Since you have a plan in mind, then go ahead and implement it. I believe you will never let me down."

"Liu Pi, I will live up to my lord's trust."

Chapter 223 Iron Blood Means

According to the news sent by Jiangyi City, the Han army agreed to attack Jiangyi City on May [-], with the Lu family as the inner response to open the city gate, and the Huns cavalry as the pioneers.

The information about Jiangyi City reminded Xu An of the mobilization of the Han Army in Taiyuan County a few days ago, and the fact that the Han Army in Puzi City seemed to be increasing its troops.

It seems that the Han army is preparing to attack from the whole front to the Hedong County area controlled by the Yellow Turban Army.

The Han army in the north wanted to attack south from Yong'an and Puzicheng.

The Han army in the south stationed troops on the north bank of Fenshui, Jiting on the west side of Changyuandu, and the Jiangyi area to attack.

However, because the Han army discovered the intelligence department of the Eagle Guard, they did not hear any important information at all.

Xu An knew that since the Han army arranged such an action, they would definitely not let Yicheng aside.

Therefore, the attack direction of the Han army that can be determined now is the five places of Yong'an, Puzi, Jiangyi, Yicheng, and Fenshui.

Xu An couldn't help but believe that he had established the Eagle Wolf Guard in Shangdang County, otherwise, the Han army's attack might really take back part of the city and make Xu An give up more areas under his control.

Xu An immediately ordered: "As soon as possible, send your wolf guards to Yong'an and Yicheng. Since there are powerful families in Jiangyi who are colluding with the Han army, then these two cities are not ruled out."

"If there is an internal response in the city, once the city gate is opened, the city wall cannot be defended, and the Han army has an advantage in numbers and armed forces in street fighting in the city. Our army's city is in danger."

"Let the wolf guards immediately control the aristocratic families in the city, and then send a letter to the guards of the three cities, as well as Fenshui Daying and Guo Tai, and ask them to strengthen their guard."

Xu An let out a long sigh, and said: "What I never expected is that there is a traitor in the army this time, and he is actually a military officer of Yiqu."

It was Sili, the general under Yang Feng's command, who colluded with the Lu family in Jiangyi and the Han army.

After the battle at Chishiling, Yang Feng was defeated, Xu Huang and Kuzai joined him, Juzai died in battle, and Sili chose to surrender.

But because he was a surrendered general, and Sili himself didn't have any outstanding abilities, he served as a military marshal in the army, but he didn't get promoted again.

He didn't participate in several battles and battles, and he didn't even participate in the invasion of Hedong County. This time he was dispatched to Jiangyi because the army in Hedong County was not enough, so he dispatched a part of the army left behind in Shangdang County.

When Xu An had almost forgotten about the little military officer, Sili jumped in front of him with the words "traitor".

"I thought that when dealing with such traitors with thunder, please execute Si Li with the death penalty!"

Liu Pi made no secret of his murderous intent. He lowered his head and said in a cold voice, "I will go to Jiangyi City immediately to investigate this matter."

For a devout Taiping Dao believer like Liu Pi, traitors are unforgivable, and the end of all traitors is the same, that is, death, and die in extremely painful circumstances.

This is the punishment for betraying Huang Tian!

Xu An nodded with a serious face, his eyes slowly turned cold, for a long time, he has been forgetting one thing.

He only asked the Eagle Wolf Guards to monitor the powerful families in those places, as well as the officials in the cities, as well as the market and the countryside, but he forgot the most important part - the army.

Xu An's eyes narrowed slightly, and his heart also cooled down. He didn't expect that the one who stabbed him with the knife turned out to be the army he had always trusted the most.

It seems that the military system is about to be reformed. It will take too long to convince those soldiers just by relying on faith, and it is very likely that people who are not religious are hidden in it.

However, how did the Han army infiltrate the army?

Xu An really didn't know, the Eagle Wolf Guard's center of gravity was not in it.

Xu An thought about how to control the army, but he couldn't come up with a good solution. The army under his command was huge and bloated, but he didn't have many people around him.

Seeing that Xu An was lost in thought, Yan Zhong laughed: "Duke Ming, it seems that he is worried about the affairs in the army."

Hearing Yan Zhong's laughter, Xu An's eyes lighted up and hurriedly said: "Does the military master have a good strategy?"

"I've heard that at night, when the lights are lit, the surroundings are as bright as day, but it's still dark under the lights."

Yan Zhong cupped his hands and said with a smile.

"Duke Ming set up the post of talismans in the army. These talismans are all firm believers in the Taiping Dao. Why can't they all be brought under the jurisdiction of the Eagle Wolf Guard and granted the right to ride?"

Xu An's eyes lit up.

It's dark under the lamp, it's dark under the lamp, he has forgotten the amulet he set up in the army before.

"There are also staunch supporters of Taiping Dao in the army. Fu Zhu is the flag officer, and some people are selected from his team to act as eyes and ears. Thousands of households are in charge of one department."

"If Duke Ming is still a little worried, we can still screen out those with firm beliefs in the army, allow them to leapfrog, and directly deliver information to the local wolf guard hundred households."

Xu An also stretched his brows at this time, nodded in praise and said: "The military master's strategy is very clever."

"Liu Pi, you arrange this matter together. All the Fu Zhu in the army will be assigned to the Wolf Guard."

"promise."

Liu Pi straightened up and agreed.

Xu An thought for a moment, then asked again: "I remember that there are Eagle Guards in the army, right?"

"That's right." Liu Pi nodded, "My lord used the sand table as an army formation exercise to facilitate the layout, and taught the Eagle Guard's Tiqi."

"Now there are four to five Yingwei Tiqi in each department, and they all draw pictures and make sand tables for the department."

Xu An nodded and said: "Then let these Eagle Guard Tiqi also develop some scouts in the army, and confirm each other with the Wolf Guard Supervision Department."

"I will transfer you another four thousand soldiers, and you will take these soldiers and the eagle wolf guards to Jiangyi City, and I will leave the front line defense of Jiangyi Yicheng to you."

A palpitating killing intent slowly spread from Xu An's body.

"Since these powerful families in Hedong County have hundreds of years of foundation, they are all deeply rooted, and they want to cooperate with the Han army..."

Xu An narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice.

"Liu Pi, the Hundred Households of the Wolf Guards in Hedong County has also begun to take shape. All the places are now under military control. I will give you the power to temporarily give you the power to command the troops of the various places. Let those big aristocratic families Let me take control of everything, all the nephews and nephews of the family will be arrested and sent to the Eagle Wolf Guard Office, and will be screened out slowly after the war is over."

"If there is resistance, it will be regarded as cooperation with the Han court and will be killed without mercy!"

Xu An's face was gloomy and cold. The aristocratic family and the Yellow Turban Army were in a natural confrontation. Due to the terrain of Shangdang County, they had no choice but to surrender.

But these powerful families in Hedong County obviously still have great hopes for the Han army.

"promise!"

Chapter 224 Southern Huns Rebellion!

Just when the vision of the Han Empire was attracted to Liangzhou and Hedong.

No one noticed that the Huns on the prairie were gathering, and the various tribes began to link up openly and secretly.

The danger is approaching, but Shangjun and Xihe Commanderies in Bingzhou have weakened their troops on the border to an extremely dangerous level because of the war in Hedong County.

Zhang Yi also relaxed his vigilance towards the border of Bingzhou because of Qiang Qu Shanyu's respectful attitude.

But the Huns, who had been waiting for several months in history, did not wait any longer this time...

……

Xihe County, Lishi City.

The tall buildings and gorgeous houses in the once prosperous Lishi City have long since disappeared and no longer exist.

Instead, it was a fire that soared into the sky, just like a scene of purgatory.

The leader of the Huns going south this time is the Zuobu Huhe of the Southern Huns, and the large and small grassland tribes plus the Zuobu Huhe, there are more than 2 knights in this trip south.

If it weren't for the war in Hedong County, the entire Xihe County still has more than 5000 county soldiers defending the passes in various places, which can completely withstand the invasion of these Huns.

But because of Qiang Qu Shanyu's attitude, Zhang Yi made a wrong judgment, and more soldiers from Xihe County were dispatched to Puzi City.

In Puzi City, nearly [-] soldiers from Xihe County have gathered. They will cooperate with the Han army in Hedong County to launch an attack on the Yellow Turban Army in Hedong County. Their task is to seize control of Luliang Mountain.

As a result, the Yellow Turban Army in Jiangyi, Linfen, and Beiqu City was forced to retreat, and the Hedong Army was recaptured.

The leader of Zuo Hu He originally wanted to join forces with the leader of Xiu Tu Ge Hu and discuss it later.

However, the weakness of Xihe County gave the leader of Zuo Huhe an opportunity. When he learned that there were only more than 1000 defenders in Xihe County, he immediately summoned the cavalry under his command, as well as the Xiongnu tribe attached to Zuo Huhe. .

Then the leader of Huhe on the left, with more than 2 cavalry, galloped all the way into the hinterland of Xihe County.

Even if the soldiers of Xihe County lit up the smoke, Lishi City had already been prepared.

How can it be possible?

How could Lishi City, defended by more than 500 county soldiers, be able to stop the more than 2 brave and warlike Huns?

The prefect of Xihe County, Xingji, killed more than [-] soldiers from the county.

A raging fire is burning in Lishi City, and the Huns are plundering and massacring recklessly

They smashed the government office, and frantically robbed the property, food, and women in the city. Those houses that had no oil and water in the city were often burned by them.

The fire spread, and the cries and screams in the city were one after another, so horribly shrill, but it only fueled the arrogance of these Huns.
