The World of Yellow Sky

If we really get to the bottom of it, the hatred in the battle formation cannot be resolved, the Xiaoqi Battalion cannot be formed, and the soldiers of Xihe County will not choose to surrender, and the Southern Huns, who are now the pioneers, have no chance of surrendering, and the current Yellow Turban Army will never choose to surrender. With the current power, at best, it would only occupy a county in Shangdang, which is a little stronger than Zhang Yan in the past.

Seeing that the expressions on the faces of Yan Liang and Wen Chou didn't change much, Xu You breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the personal guards of Yan Liang and Wen Chou were basically nephews of the family, and Fuliu suffered a lot of casualties in the battle. Da, if he has a grudge because of this, it may cause some interference to his plan.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou are currently sitting in the center of the tent, in front of the Yellow Turban Army Sima, and at the bottom of the school lieutenant.

Xu You recruited Yan Liang and Wen Chou on the condition that they were captains. They now hold the titles of captains of the Yellow Turban Army, but they have just entered the camp and have no merit, so they are ranked at the end of the rank of captains.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou are newcomers, so naturally they don't have any objections to this arrangement of seats. It's okay to put them at the bottom of the captain's seat. If they are placed at the front, they will definitely feel like they are sitting on pins and needles.

Just like when Xu An recruited Lv Bu as a general, a large part of the reason why Lv Bu fought hard in the Battle of Fenshui and even the subsequent battles was because he was directly promoted to become a general, and his prestige was not enough. To convince the public, I want to quickly accumulate military merits.

The army is different from the officialdom. In the officialdom, you pay attention to power and position, and it is not easy to be ostracized. But in the army, even if you are an official, if you don’t have thunderous means and high enough prestige, you can’t overwhelm the arrogant soldiers under your command. Become an empty air, especially a parachute officer who has no military achievements.

When I was in Hejian Kingdom and Bohai County, it was because of this situation that there was no military merit to be obtained. Due to my family background, even if Yan Liang and Wen Chou had the reputation of bravery, they still had no way to subdue the Jizhou North Route Army. All the proud soldiers and powerful generals.

However, considering the feelings of Yan Liang and Wen Chou, Xu You hesitated for a while, and asked to move his seat back to the side of Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

While Xu You was observing the changes in the faces of Yan Liang and Wen Chou, there was actually another person in the tent who was paying attention to Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

That person was none other than Xu An who was sitting in the first seat.

Holding the folding fan with one hand, Xu An put the other hand on the desk, and lowered his head slightly to observe the military academy in the tent.

Now the power under his command is getting bigger and bigger, but various problems have also begun to surface.

If it was said before that when Shangdang and Hanoi counties were just captured, the Yellow Turban Army was still struggling with the problem of survival, and almost everyone was united as one, blocking their lives.

So now that the Yellow Turban Army is in full swing, the court cannot ask for it, and the counties and counties cannot control it.

Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju of Youzhou were defeated in Shimen, Liangzhou Kingdom and Han Sui were defeated, and only the Bingzhou Yellow Turban Army led by Xu An survived alone.

This also made the generals in the Yellow Turban Army a little arrogant, but the difference in background and origin made the Yellow Turban Army faintly divided into factions.

The information submitted by the Eagle Wolf Guard made Xu An feel a little worried.

Now the Yellow Turban Army can be divided into four factions.

The first faction is the Taipingdao faction headed by Liu Pi and Gong Du. Guo Tai, Zhang Yan, He Man, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao and other generals from the Taipingdao belong to this faction.

The current faction is considered to be the largest faction in Taiping Dao, and all of them are staunch supporters of Xu An.

However, this faction is actually divided into quite a few small groups, such as Wangwu Yellow Turbans, Taihang Yellow Turbans, Jizhou Yellow Turbans, etc., but the influence of these small groups is not great. Generally speaking, they still belong to a big one. faction.

The second faction is the Bingzhou faction headed by Yan Zhong, such as Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Li De, Li En and other generals of the Bingzhou Han Army who chose to join, as well as Yang Ji, Fu Qi, Pang Bo and other government officials official.

This faction is not only influential in the military, but also occupies a dominant position in government affairs

Although Yan Zhong did not form a clique, which was confirmed by the Eagle Wolf Guards from the side, but because of his influence, the generals in Bingzhou all chose to follow Yan Zhong.

Yan Zhong came from a family and was a celebrity in Liangzhou. Like them, he originally belonged to the Han court and joined the Yellow Turban Army later. Naturally, he was naturally kinder.

As for government officials such as Yang Ji, Fu Qi, and Pang Bo, the three of them were good friends with Yan Zhong, so they would naturally support Yan Zhong.

The Yellow Turban Army is extremely short of management types and talents who can handle government affairs. The Taoist Hall was established in about two years, and it was established in the third year of Zhongping (186). The first batch of students was only a few hundred thousand people. The second batch of students are all studying in the Taoist hall, and it is difficult to replenish the talents that can be provided in a short time.

Therefore, most of the government officials are originally Han officials and the nephews of Yang Ji, Fu Qi, and Pang Bo.

Yan Zhong's family also migrated to the territory of Bingzhou along with the three families, and a considerable number of people entered the government affairs system of the Yellow Turban Army to help handle government affairs.

The third and fourth factions are only beginning to emerge.

The third hidden faction is the Yellow Turban Army of Ji Ang, Bian Xi, and Guan Hai. They all came all the way, so they are naturally close to each other, and they are likely to become a new faction.

The fourth hidden faction is the Jizhou faction headed by Xu You.

Now that the Jizhou faction has begun to take shape, Zhou Jing and Xu You are friends in need, and they will definitely support Xu You, although it doesn't matter if it's just Zhou Jing alone, and it doesn't matter.

But now Xu You has successfully subdued Yan Liang and Wen Chou by relying on his eloquent tongue and military strategy.

The abilities of Yan Liang and Wen Chou are unquestionable. Both of them are top cavaliers. Xu An has no reason to abandon them.

The status of the Jizhou faction will naturally rise. Xu You is good at planning, and the development potential of the Jizhou faction should not be underestimated.

The war is almost over now, and it is not considered safe yet, so conflicts between factions and other affairs have not occurred, but once the people of the four states enter Bingzhou, they will be in a relatively stable environment.

At that time, the four factions will definitely have some complicated problems.

Xu An narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking of a solution in his heart. He must stabilize the Yellow Turban Army and maintain the stability between the factions, so that the power of a faction will not be too strong, and it must not be biased and chill its heart. .

Strong fortresses are often breached from the inside. The current Yellow Turban Army seems to be strong, but in fact there are still many shortcomings.

With Liu Hong's death, the Han Empire will enter its darkest moment. The power of the Han Empire will be weakened to the extreme at this time, but when this extreme is over.

The heroes stand side by side, the world is changing, and the shackles on the necks of the aristocratic families will be completely removed.

The Yellow Turban Army still needs to unite as one, and still needs to struggle, so that it is possible to win the final victory after all the heroes behind them unite.

If there was a turmoil inside the Yellow Turban Army first, I am afraid that they would inevitably end up dying.

Chapter 439 : Plot Jizhou? !

He was no less surprised than Yan Lianghe Wenchou. "The second is the battle in Linping."

Yan Zhong waited until the eagle wolf Wei Tiqi finished his report, and then said the second thing.

No.1 Yinglang Wei Tiqi, who had finished reporting, presented the silk book in Xu An's desk respectfully, then saluted again, and retreated to the edge of the big tent.

And the No.2 Yinglang Wei Tiqi who held the silk book also read out the contents of the silk book in his hand,

"In the battle of Linping, the Youzhou army was defeated. The enemy general Polu, the school lieutenant Zou Jing, was beheaded. A total of 730 and eight ranks were beheaded, and 450 and seven enemy soldiers were captured. The enemy was defeated and has escaped. After crossing the border of Julu County, our army’s westward retreat has been smooth and safe, and a total of 120 vehicles of various types of luggage have been seized, and the banners have been seized.

In the big tent, the noise gradually rose. Although the battle in Linping had ended, it did not spread to the Yellow Turban Army camp of Sizhou on the north bank of Zhangshui River.

The results of all battles are basically sent to Xu An as soon as possible, and others will not be informed halfway. The reason why Fuliu's victory was known to the Yellow Turban Army of the Four States is also because Xu You led the camp in Fuliu Some of the soldiers returned, and non-stop dispatched Lu Bu and Zhang Liao to lead the cavalry to help Zhang Yan.

Lu Bu and Zhang Liao led their cavalry to cross the river from Zhangshui. Naturally, they had to pass through the camp of the Yellow Turban Army of Sizhou, so the Yellow Turban Army of Sizhou learned of the victory of Fuliu.

Hearing the news of Linping's victory at this time, all the generals of the Yellow Turban Army in the four states showed joy, and even couldn't help whispering.

Winning in Linping, retreating west means that the road to Bingzhou will be unimpeded. They are one step closer to Bingzhou, and their families are a bit safer. How can it not be exciting.

Unlike the rest of the happy people in the tent, both Yan Liang and Wen Chou showed a look of surprise on their faces.

The two of them participated in the Battle of Lower Quyang, so how could they not know about Zou Jing? Back then, there were three unusually burly generals standing beside Zou Jing, which was unforgettable.

Later, Zou Jing competed with Sun Jian, who was at the peak of momentum at that time, for the position of vanguard, and took the lead in breaking through the camp of the Yellow Turban Army. He became famous in the first battle, and killed the Yellow Turban Army. Fame.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou also had some contact with Zou Jing, and his humanities and military strategies were by no means ordinary people, and they could often answer the military knowledge that they had been unable to understand for many days in just a few words.

But it was him who died in the battle of Linping, on the battlefield. You must know that the army led by Zou Jing was not some kind of country bravery or some miscellaneous county soldiers, but a serious and serious experience. The elite county soldiers who had left for training and battle, as well as two battalions of Xiyuan imperial troops to help in the battle, suffered a major defeat, and even lost their lives on the battlefield.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou thought that the Youzhou Army might be defeated or repelled, but they never thought that the Youzhou Army would return in a complete defeat, and even Zou Jing would be beheaded.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou looked at each other, and they both saw a hint of surprise in their eyes.

Xu You sat beside Yan Liang, his eyes narrowed slightly, his surprise was no less astonishing than Yan Liangwen's.

Although it was true that Xu You sent Lu Bu and Zhang Liao to lead the cavalry to support Zhang Yan.

But he didn't expect that Zhang Yan could achieve such a great result.

Xu You lowered his head slightly, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

It seems that none of the generals in the Yellow Turban Army are ordinary people.

Zhang Yan usually does not show his mountains and dews, and only makes people think that his ability is mediocre, and he was promoted to the position of general by virtue of his seniority, but no one thought that Zhang Yan would be nothing but a blockbuster.

"The last thing is the result of the Battle of Zhangshui"

Yan Zhong looked serious, and said in a deep voice, the noise in the tent subsided again the moment Yan Zhong spoke.

The last rider of the Eagle Wolf Guard walked forward slowly holding a silk book.

"In the Battle of Zhangshui, our army beheaded more than 720 Han soldiers, captured [-] Han soldiers, and captured the Sima Banners of the Han Army. Meng Dai, Zhao Rui, and Sui Yuanjin four!"

Xu You abruptly raised his head and looked at Xu An who was sitting in the first seat. Unlike Xu An, who had a calm face, Xu You's heart was already full of waves.

Earlier, Xu An fought fiercely with the Han army led by Zhu Jun in Kuicheng, and immediately defeated the Han army in Hanoi, beheading Han Dang, Zu Mao, and Huang Gai, three generals known for their bravery, and finally beheading Zhu Jun, which shocked the capital. , the emperor Liu Hong summoned all the surrounding soldiers and horses to gather towards Luoyang.

At that time, when they received the news of the fall of Hanoi County, the dignitaries in Luoyang were almost shocked three times a day, and some even quietly moved their family members out of the city first.

However, in Xu You's view, Kuicheng's record is that Xu An seized the opportunity, and the Han army in Hanoi was not invincible. Although Zhu Jun's family soldiers are strong, many of them have not practiced for a while There are not many armored soldiers to arm his family soldiers.

A clever woman can't cook without rice. Xu An's name really appeared in the eyes of everyone, or in the Taihang Mountains. In just a few years, unless there is a natural sage who knows it, Xu An will never be able to beat Zhu Jun in military strategy. .

In the battle of Kuicheng, it can only be said that there was no intention to calculate. Zhu Jun was defeated by Xu An under the disadvantage of many parties.

Among them, Yan Zhong must have put in a lot of effort to help Xu An win in one fell swoop.

According to Xu You's judgment, in the result of this battle of Zhangshui, most of Xu An could only end in a disastrous victory. When Xu An and Yan Zhong deduced the battle of Zhangshui before, he also joined in it later, improving There are several layouts.

The Han army has strong armor and sharp blades, and there are many Jizhou soldiers. Lu Zhi's army is slightly superior.

Xu You once talked with Lu Zhi about the military strategy, but it took only half an hour, and he was already surrendered to him.

Logically speaking, no matter what, he shouldn't suffer such a big defeat.

Xu You pressed his hands on the desk and leaned forward slightly, forgetting about his manners and dignity.

His eyes left Xu An's body, shifted to Yan Zhong's body, and then looked at the generals in the tent.

It now appears that he has far underestimated Xu An, the capabilities of these generals of the Yellow Turban Army, and the combat power of the Bingzhou Yellow Turban Army.

Zhang Nan, Meng Dai, Zhao Rui, and Sui Yuanjin are also the military commanders of Jizhou. How could Xu You not know that Zhang Nan and Meng Dai are both first-class generals in Jizhou. Although they are far inferior to Yan Liang and Wen Chou, they are not What idlers.

Zhao Rui and Sui Yuanjin are known for their stability and are good at leading the army. It is easy to defeat them, but it is extremely difficult to kill them.

The main force of the Han army in Jizhou totaled more than [-] people. In this battle, nearly half of the soldiers were killed and captured by the Yellow Turban Army, and the remaining half may have many wounded soldiers.

In other words, the current Jizhou Army is no longer capable of fighting. On the road ahead, the Yellow Turban Army is completely safe. Even if the Jizhou Army is still preparing to harass, the Yellow Turban Army only needs cavalry to expel these Jizhou Army harassment.

Now the trend of offense and defense has been reversed. It is no longer the Yellow Turban Army that needs to worry about the attack of the Han Army, but the Han Army in Jizhou needs to worry about the attack of the Yellow Turban Army.

Standing in the tent, Tiqi continued to talk about the details and began to discuss merits, such as Xu Huang beheading Zhao Rui, Lu Buzhen beheading Zou Jing, and so on.

But Xu You's mind was completely out of these words.

Because he saw his future and saw his great prospects.

It may not be a luxury to leave a name in history, and the contribution of Conglong may already be in his pocket.

Xu You stared at Xu An, who was sitting in the first seat, with piercing eyes. If he had no choice but to join the Taiping Dao, he would be able to survive and rise to the top. It was a forced choice.

So Xu You now has more thoughts in his heart, Taipingdao does have the appearance of seizing the world!

The current Jizhou is extremely empty. Never once has Jizhou been as weak as it is today. The armed forces of Bohai County and Qinghe Kingdom in Jizhou were almost completely wiped out by King Wuhuanqiao. Man's warlike soldier.

The Xiyuan Forbidden Army of the Fifth Battalion was also destroyed by him.The forbidden army in the five schools and Sanhe is still in Chencang, and the forbidden army in the central government is no more than [-]. Although Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju in Youzhou were defeated in Shimen, they should still be able to last for a long time.

It seems that something has changed in the Luoyang court. Although Jian Shuo still said that he suddenly fell ill in Jizhou and was visiting famous doctors for treatment, it is difficult to hide this trick from Xu You.

Without too much information, Xu You has already proved that Jian Shuo is definitely not in Jizhou anymore, but has rushed to Luoyang just because Jian Shuo did not go out with the army.

And the only reason why Jian Shuo rushed to Luoyang at this decisive moment was because there was some serious trouble in Luoyang's palace, and Jian Shuo had to go to deal with it.

Xu You became excited. The current Jizhou is undoubtedly in an extremely empty state, with no reinforcements from outside and strong soldiers from inside.

Now the Yellow Turban Army is fully capable of occupying Jizhou. Hejian Kingdom, Qinghe Kingdom, and Bohai County are too far away, but Changshan Kingdom, Zhongshan Kingdom, and Julu County, which are close to Taihang Mountain, can plot.

Because of the revival of the Yellow Turbans among Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Yuzhou, it is actually not peaceful now.

Even if a large number of Yellow Turbans marched towards Bingzhou, the four states did not restore peace, but became more chaotic, bandits were rampant, and other forces also took advantage of this shareholder wind to rise up and loot counties and counties.

A considerable number of bandits even under the banner of the Yellow Turban Army robbed merchants in the four states, robbed villages, and even attacked counties.

The four southern states adjacent to Jizhou are too busy to take care of themselves, and there must be no way to divide their troops and advance northward.

Although Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun suffered a big defeat in Youzhou in the north, they still had strength and a lot of soldiers.

That is to say, after the Youzhou Army was defeated and withdrew from Jizhou, they were simply unable to cooperate with Gongsun Zan to attack Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, let alone go south to aid Jizhou again.

The situation in the land of Sili is turbulent, and the situation is unclear, but it is certain that there must be chaos in the court of Luoyang. The current Luoyang may already be undercurrents, and some major events that can shake the world have even occurred.

Liu Hong's poor health is not a secret. As Wang Fen's former staff member, Xu You naturally knew about it. After thinking about it for a while, the biggest possibility is that Liu Hong is afraid that time is running out. After calling Jian Shuo back to explain thing.

The two princes are still young, and the fact that the emperor dotes on the youngest son Liu Xie but not the eldest son Liu Bian is not a court secret.

Xu You narrowed his eyes slightly, and tapped lightly on the desk, sorting out all kinds of things in his mind, and the context began to become very clear.

Jian Shuo hurried back to Beijing, probably because Liu Hong's condition suddenly took a turn for the worse.

And the most likely thing is that Liu Hong is dead now!

Xu You opened his eyes, his eyes were full of brilliance, all the order and all the fog had been dispelled.

Liu Hongding certainly wanted to establish Liu as emperor, but to establish Liu Xie as emperor, the biggest obstacle was Liu Bian, Empress He, and He Jin who is now a great general.
