The World of Yellow Sky

Fortunately, the rebellion in Liangzhou intensified, and Yang Ji, Pang Bo, and Fu Qi came from their families, bringing a large number of talents who could read and write.

The first batch of talismans in Daotang was also cultivated, which finally solved the problem of civil affairs of the Yellow Turban Army.

It's just that there are still not many people who can advise Xu An in the direction of military strategy.

This time the military discussion was because Xu An and Yan Zhong had nothing to do with Dai and Shanggu counties, so they tried to consult other generals for their opinions.

"Xu You from Nanyang, I have met him before, but he is quite intelligent, and he is familiar with the art of war. He is talented in military strategy, but he is quite proud, and his words are often a bit harsh."

"As for Zhou Jing, I haven't seen it, but I have heard about it. He is a famous ranger in Yuzhou, and he was born in a powerful family in Peiguo."

"So it's just a ranger..."

Xu An shook his head, if it was just a ranger, it wouldn't be too much of an issue for him.

But with Xu You alone, Xu An was already very happy.

In the battle of Guandu, if Yuan Shao hadn't been indecisive, he would have forgotten his life at the sight of small gains.

As long as you listen to the advice of any one of Xu You, Tian Feng, and Ju Shou, you may be able to win this crucial battle.

Chapter 352

"Duke Ming, it seems that he has always looked down on rangers and suppressed them."

Yan Zhong hesitated, but finally asked.

Xu An was taken aback when he heard Yan Zhong's question. He did indeed pursue a policy of suppressing the rangers in his jurisdiction.

It is forbidden for chivalry to commit crimes with martial arts, and there are many rangers in one place, which is not conducive to public security and jurisdiction.

Rangers use their own swords to deal with lawbreakers privately, but many of them follow not the law, but the moral standards in their hearts.

And this standard varies from low to high, and even because of this, many unjust, false and wrongly decided cases will occur.

If the existence of rangers is condoned, then the law will be just a dead letter in the long run.

From ancient times to today's Eastern Han Dynasty, many rangers are not worthy of being called knights, and these people sometimes even commit banditry.

Yan Zhong unfolded his silk fan and said with a smile: "It's true that chivalrous men use martial arts to break the ban, but rangers naturally also have rangers. Minggong, it wasn't because Yingwei was suppressed by Hanting's embroidered clothes envoys before. Are you upset?"

"Now that Zhou Jing is here to vote, I'm afraid it will greatly change the situation of Yingwei in Jizhou."

"The military adviser is not joking, Zhou Jing is just a ranger, and the embroidered emissary now has the support of Emperor Han, and his manpower and financial resources are far superior to our army's Eagle Wolf Guard."

Xu An frowned. Although he knew that Yan Zhong couldn't joke, he didn't think that Zhou Jing, a knight-errant, could affect the battle between the Jizhou Embroidered Clothes Envoy and the Eagle Wolf Guard.

"Duke Ming, if you don't know about rangers, you naturally don't know how rangers work."

Yan Zhong was not impatient, and explained.

"Although Zhou Jing is a ranger in Peiguo, his reputation among Jizhou rangers is at the top."

"The emperor of the Han court today is incompetent and incompetent, resulting in two wars in Jizhou, and the people are impoverished and struggling to survive."

"But this time Wang Fen plotted to abolish the emperor, Zhou Jing and Xu You, as accomplices, were also on the wanted list of the Embroidered Clothes Messenger. Zhou Jing's reputation in Jizhou will definitely rise to the peak because of this."

Yan Zhong saw that Xu An was still a little puzzled, so he continued to remind him.

"Duke Ming, do you still remember the old incident when Yu Du led his army to join you?"

"You mean..."

At this time, Xu An roughly understood what Yan Zhong meant.

Yu Du led the army to join, to a large extent, because Zhang Yan, who was born as a ranger at the time, was attached to Xu An.

In history, after Zhang Yan entered the Taihang Mountains, it only took a short time to unify the Taihang Mountains, precisely because of his fame.

Unlike Xu An's battles in the South and the North, most of the bandits in the Taihang Mountains chose to join because of Zhang Yan's reputation.

"good."

Yan Zhong nodded and laughed. Every time he talked with Xu An, discussing the military, most of the time, Xu An would understand the general situation as long as he talked halfway, and even draw inferences from one instance, which made Yan Zhong feel like a confidant. .

"Duke Ming can let Zhou Jing join the Eagle Guards and manage the Eagle Guards in Jizhou. With Zhou Jing's reputation, he can surely recruit a large number of rangers to enrich the Eagle Guards, and even instigate some rangers who have joined the Embroidered Clothes Emissary, so..."

Without waiting for Yan Zhong to continue, Xu An went on to say the following.

"In this way, as long as the Eagle Guard has the power to suppress the Embroidered Emissary in Jizhou, our army will have a greater advantage when the Yellow Turban returns."

"exactly."

Yan Zhong stroked his beard with a smile. If it was said that he defected to Xu An in Taihang Mountain, it was just opportunistic.

So now Yan Zhong is really offering advice for Xu An sincerely.

Like-minded people are called comrades.

During the Battle of Sunflower City, Xu An revealed his secret. From then on, Yan Zhong believed that Xu An really possessed the Mandate of Heaven.

But Yan Zhong, who was completely convinced, was not in Kuicheng, but in Jinyang City.

It was Xu An's impassioned speech at the opening ceremony of Jinyang Chengmeng School.

Yan Zhong always remembered what Xu An said on the lecture platform.

"The voice of one person is like mosquitoes and flies, the voice of ten people is already a crowd of voices, but the voice of a hundred people can deafen the deaf."

"With the power of thousands of people, rivers can be reversed, mountains can be flattened, and it is not difficult to change the world!"

During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Yan Zhong served under Huangfusong's tent, everything that Xu An saw, he actually saw.

Yan Zhong is not someone who doesn't understand military affairs, he is used to fighting in Liangzhou, and he has seen a lot of battle formations.

He has seen the Qiang people, the Xianbei people, the Huns, and the Han army, but he has never seen an army like the Yellow Turban Army.

During the battle of Guangzong, even though the weapons in their hands were just a bamboo spear and a pair of farm tools, and they were only wearing single clothes or bare upper body, those yellow scarf soldiers were not afraid.

The yellow angels in the back of the palace, and the cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army who were determined to die, all left indelible marks in Yan Zhong's heart.

Outside Guangzong City, those Yellow Turban soldiers who had no way to escape in time, many of them chose not to surrender, but resolutely jumped into the icy cold river.

Yan Zhong is not those aristocrats whose eyes are high above the top, he also knows the hardships of ordinary people, he wants to change, he wants to change this situation.

But he has no choice, he is powerless, and his family has no way to help him ascend to the high position in the temple.

He has only been a county magistrate for one term, but he is still constrained. The Han Empire has decayed, and the power of the aristocratic family is too powerful.

So what Yan Zhong thought of was to let Huangfusong take advantage of the power and prestige of quelling the Yellow Turban Rebellion to overthrow the decayed Han Empire.

Build a brand new country so that the people at the bottom can have hope.

At this moment, Xu An entered Yan Zhong's field of vision.

"Ming Gong's intelligence is very human."

"As long as it is confirmed that the Eagle Guard's information is correct, Wang Fen is indeed dead, and what happened in Jizhou is true, then Xu You and Zhou Jing can be appointed."

Yan Zhong sighed in admiration.

Suddenly there was some melancholy in his heart, and a trace of fatigue appeared on his face unconsciously.

Xu An in front of him is in the prime of his life, full of fighting spirit, but he has already reached the age of destiny.

Although his body is still strong now, he obviously feels powerless, and his body is getting worse day by day.

"military adviser?"

Xu An also noticed something wrong with Yan Zhong's face, and said with concern.

"The military adviser has been dealing with official duties since morning, and it seems that he has never rested. Why don't he take some time off first?"

Yan Zhong put away the silk fan and said with a smile.

"Thought too much, I was a little troubled, but it made Minggong laugh."

After Yan Zhong laughed, the melancholy in his heart did not dissipate.

Seize the land, change the dynasty, liberate the world...

The road ahead of the Yellow Turban Army is bumpy and full of thorns, and this will be a protracted battle.

Chapter 353 Award Ceremony

Outside Jinyang City, the camp of the Yellow Turban Army seemed a little noisy, and the drums of the gathering soldiers sounded.

"After the clock, you don't want to get up yet, don't lie down, hurry up, hurry up."

Wang Qi pushed open the camp gate and shouted loudly.

Tian Zhang and Zhong Hou, who were still asleep, woke up suddenly.

"You two brats, you didn't watch the night yesterday, how did you sleep until now?"

Wang Qi came in cursing and kicked Tian Zhang.

Although Tian Zhang had just woken up, he reacted very quickly. Seeing Wang kicking his feet, he stood up and dodged the past.

"Isn't today a rest day? Why is the Jubing Drum still ringing? My back hurt from yesterday's training, and I was almost exhausted."

The martial arts camp has two days off and one day off. Two days of training and one day off. Today is just the turn of the day off.

Tian Zhang muttered while putting on his clothes quickly.

"Team leader, don't call me field mouse, this name is really ugly..."

I don't know why the nickname Tian Shuer was started, but Tian Zhang has a goatee and is quite thin compared to other soldiers, so he does look a bit like a mouse.

Seeing Tian Zhang's resistance, Wang Qi smiled and said, "Okay, fellow Tian Shuer, I will definitely not call you Tian Shuer next time."

Tian Zhang's face twitched involuntarily. He knew that this nickname would be with him forever.

The queen of the clock was also in a hurry to get dressed, but he also wondered why the Jubing drum was still ringing on today's rest day.

The gathering of soldiers and drums stopped, and heavy fines would be imposed if they did not come to the school grounds. If they were negligent during the war, their lives might even be in danger. Although there is no war now, fifty army sticks are not easy to hold on.

"You two are indeed good brothers..."

Wang Qi backed Tian Zhang and Zhong Hou and laughed outrageously.

"Didn't I inform you at dinner last night? What kind of award ceremony will be held today, and the rest day has been postponed to tomorrow. Didn't you sit at the front when the clock ticked? Why didn't you hear it?"

"Team rate..."

There was a bitter look behind the clock, and he said in a mournful voice.

"I eat delicious..."

"Okay, okay, don't dawdle, come out quickly, I'll wait for the two of you."

Wang Qi didn't talk to Tian Zhang and Zhong Hou, and walked out of the barracks.

"Team rate, do you want to wear armor!!"

……

The second tom was sounded.

Tian Zhang and Zhong Hou finally got into the queue.

"Let's go together."

Wang Qi saw that all the people in the team had arrived, and gave orders loudly.

"Step by step!"

More than 50 soldiers repeated Wang Qi's military order in unison.

Tian Zhang and Zhong Hou also repeated the military order together.

"go!"

Wang Qi pressed the ring head knife and took a step forward.

More than [-] soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army behind them stepped forward together and walked away slowly.

After long-term repeated training, the queue training has penetrated into the bones of these soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army.

The training speed of the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army far exceeds that of most armies of this era.

Tian Zhang walked in the queue, feeling a little puzzled. He was too tired after training yesterday, so he lay down in the barracks first, and then went to eat later.

So I have no impression of the award ceremony at all.
