The World of Yellow Sky

Taiwei Ma Rixun glanced at the people in the hall, but none of them said a word. Under such circumstances, he had no choice but to stand up and share the worries of the emperor.

As the highest military position, Taiwei, in addition to assessing the merits of military officers across the country and taking them as the basis for promotion, is also the supreme military adviser of the emperor, and it is the duty of the Taiwei to share the worries of the emperor.

"The entry of the 'moth thief' from the four prefectures into Bing prefecture seems to be a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed."

"Our army in Zhangshui, Fuliu, and Linping suffered setbacks. I think the most urgent task now is to rectify the military affairs, appease the villagers, prevent the resurgence of turmoil in the state, and give the 'moth thief' an opportunity to make them grow up to occupy Jizhou. Heart."

Dong Zhuo was a bit sniffy at first, but he showed some interest when he heard what Ma Rixun said. It seemed that this Ma Rixun was not really a mediocre person.

Although Dong Zhuo had never had any contact with Xu An, this did not prevent him from thinking from Xu An's point of view.

With the new defeat of the Jizhou army and the superiority, the changes in Luoyang cannot be hidden from the world, so Xu An is naturally very likely to give birth to the heart of entrenched Jizhou.

Occupying the entire Jizhou is wishful thinking, but occupying the area around Taihang Mountain is not a cannibalism.

Dong Zhuo once led troops to fight against the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou, and he also knew the terrain of Jizhou. He also had a map of Jizhou in his mansion.

If Xu An occupies part of the two prefectures of Changshan and Zhongshan at this time, he can completely connect with Shanggu County and attack Youzhou from both sides. Youzhou will be exposed to the front of the Yellow Turban Army, and it will be very dangerous. Extremely embarrassing.

"The former Jizhou Shepherd Wang Fen was involved in conspiracy and committed suicide in fear of crime. Now the position of Jizhou Shepherd is vacant. I think that Jizhou Shepherd should be appointed first, and then troops will be sent to assist Jizhou to stabilize the situation."

Liu Xie looked at Jian Shuo from the corner of his eye, and when he saw Jian Shuo slightly raised his index finger, he asked loudly, "Who do you think the Taiwei should be the shepherd of Jizhou?"

Ma Rixun proposed to decide on the post of Jizhou Mu first, so he had already prepared a draft in his heart, but he still paused to make it appear less deliberate.

"Recommended by my minister, Liu Biao, Liu Jingsheng, a member of the northern army, is decisive and well-known. I think that if Liu Jingsheng is appointed as the shepherd of Jizhou, Jizhou will be safe."

"Liu Jingsheng?"

Liu Xie repeated Liu Biao's name softly. He was very unfamiliar with this name and had never heard it mentioned before.

But Liu Xie is not familiar with him, but Jian Shuo knows Liu Biao. As the leader of the embroidered clothes messenger, he naturally knows most of the important officials in the court. Liu Biao is indeed a group of extremely capable people, and he is For members of the clan, it would be best for Liu Biao to be the shepherd of Jizhou. Jizhou is quite close to the land of Sili, so he can help the central government in time.

"I don't think it's appropriate for Liu Jingsheng to be Jizhou Mu."

Dong Zhuo snorted coldly and said in a cold voice with a rather disrespectful attitude.

Ma Rixun frowned slightly, but said nothing.

"If I was that Xu'an, occupying Shanggu County in Youzhou, I would definitely consider occupying Changshan and Zhongshan, and then plot Youzhou. Jizhou will inevitably start a war again. I have heard the name of Liu Jingsheng. Although he is a prince in the Northern Army, he is not good at military affairs. , when the time comes to fight together, how can we stop the 'Moth Thief'?"

Dong Zhuo bowed his hands and said to Liu Xie, this time his attitude was more respectful.

"I think Yushi Zhongcheng Han Fu is a suitable candidate. He is brave and resourceful. It is the best choice to use Han Fu as Jizhou Shepherd."

Jian Shuo's face was a little gloomy, Dong Zhuo put himself into Xu An's body, who is Xu An, and Xu An is now the confidant of the Han Dynasty.

But Jian Shuo didn't come to argue with Dong Zhuo because of this matter.

In the end, in the game between Ma Rixun and Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo won in the end. Liu Biao did not show any military talents. The current situation in Jizhou, where many senior generals are dead and wounded, requires a state that understands military affairs animal husbandry.

The position of Jizhou Mu finally belonged to Han Fu.

Jian Shuo didn't object to Dong Zhuo's recommendation, because Han Fu had nothing to do with Dong Zhuo. Jian Shuo was an embroidered emissary, and he was able to figure out the friends of a small censor, Zhongcheng, but Dong Zhuo now recommended Han Fu as his friend. Jizhou Mu, this surprised Jian Shuo.

Then a series of political affairs were listed, Dong Zhuo was no longer as aggressive as before, but restrained, and Jian Shuo was a little suspicious.

Jian Shuo's mood also eased a little because of this, it seems that this time it is useful to win over Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Bao Hong's Xiyuan Forbidden Army, and Feng Dingyuan as Zhijinwu, which made Dong Zhuo restrained a little.

After the discussion was over and Xiaohuangmen brought the news that Grand Tutor Yuan Kui had arrived, Dong Zhong, Ma Rixun, Ding Gong, and Dong Zhuo did not stay long after seeing this, and they also left together.

Jian Shuo breathed a sigh of relief, and the weight of the boulder on his heart was also lightened. Now everything seems to be developing on the right track and moving in a good direction. His planning and compromise finally paid off.

The tense heartstrings that had been tense for many days were also slightly relaxed.

He didn't notice that Dong Zhong got a little closer to Dong Zhuo when he walked out of the hall.

The sixth volume of warlords

Chapter 453 Returning to the West

Zhongping five years (188 years), November 22.

As winter progresses, the weather in the north becomes colder and colder. The further we go to the Taihang Mountains, the colder the climate becomes.

The epidemic that plagued the people who migrated in the four states finally dissipated, but more than [-] people were left forever on both sides of the Zhang River because of the epidemic.

110 two Fu Zhu and 530 five soldiers died in the camps on both sides of the Zhangshui River. Even if Hua Tuo was there, even if military horses were requisitioned to transport medicinal materials, the epidemic still took the lives of many people, and even entered the camp. Fu Zhu, who saved people, had no way to escape unscathed.

The typhoid epidemic is changeable. In many cases, Hua Tuo can only do nothing. He can only isolate the patient, a layer of silk cloth, and in some cases, it is difficult to resist the epidemic. But there are still soldiers infected one after another.

After more than a month, all the patients with the disease died, and the matter came to an end.

There was no cry, no farewell, a fire buried thirty camps, and buried all the dead.

Tens of thousands of people continued to move forward along the official road, to Linping, to Xiaquyang, and to Jingxing Pass.

No matter how difficult life is, as long as people are still alive, they still have to continue to live.

Hua Tuo was carrying his luggage and walking on the side of the official road with a scepter on his back. A young man with a medicine box on his back followed him step by step.

But compared to before, this time Hua Tuo was not only followed by the drug boy, but also four or five eagle wolf guards with horses. They were soldiers sent by Xu An to protect Hua Tuo's safety. .

Zhang Ji walked in the front of the group of Yinglang Weiti riders, and there was a child riding on his neck. The child was the one who had pulled Zhao Ji and asked Zhao Ji to check his mother's condition. The child was called Asu.

In the end, the thin woman still couldn't survive, and she died alone in the tent, without even seeing her child's last side before she died.

Although the Han army is now huddled in various cities, and there are yellow turban army patrols on the periphery, but the relocated team is mixed, Xu An still assigned some defensive forces to Hua Tuo.

Not only Zhang Ji led the Yinglangweiti cavalry, but also a group of [-]-man Xiaoqi Battalion cavalry, who were only a few hundred steps away from Hua Tuo. Once they received the signal, they could arrive in an instant.

Originally, Xu An also arranged for Hua Tuo a transport frame, but in the end it was turned into a cart for transporting medicinal materials and grain.

After the meeting, Xu An left Hua Tuo alone to ask if he would like to join the Yellow Turban Army and serve the Yellow Turban Army.

Hua Tuo didn't directly reject Xu An's offer, but he didn't agree directly either. He wanted to take a closer look at the changes in Bingzhou before making a decision. Xu An naturally agreed to such a request.

Although Bingzhou is not the paradise of yellow heaven in the legend, but with the policy of military and civilian settlements, as well as the policy of exempting corvee and exorbitant taxes, the lives of the people are much easier than those of the people in the Han area.

This time out of the customs, it's not that the powerful families in Jizhou don't have half a contribution, their food and money saved are all cheaper for Xu An.

Long before the migrating team of people from the four prefectures arrived, all of them had already passed Jingxing Pass and were transported to Shangdang County.

The Battle of Jizhou made Xu An a lot richer, at least it allowed the grain reserves in Bingzhou to last for next year's summer harvest.

"Where did it go?"

Hua Tuo stopped in his tracks and asked Zhang Ji who was behind him. Beside the official road was a big river flowing quietly.

Zhang Ji stopped in his tracks, looking at Xiaquyang City with khaki-colored banners not far away, he couldn't help feeling a little lost.

"Mr. Hui, this is Xia Quyang."

He is both familiar and unfamiliar with Xia Quyang. He still remembers the scene of the mountains and seas of people, and he still remembers the shouts of the mountains and tsunami.

"Xia Quyang..."

Hua Tuo also stopped walking while leaning on his scepter. He looked up at the tall city wall in the distance.

In the battle of Xiaquyang, the Han army won a great victory, and the 16 Yellow Turban army was wiped out, and Zhang Jiao, who was still dead, was even dissected and poked into the coffin, which was passed on to the world.

Zhang Liang was captured alive in the forest, and made a public display outside the city of Xiaquyang. Zhang Bao burned himself in the government office of Xiaquyang, and followed hundreds of martyrs.

The last [-] remaining members of the Yellow Turban Army were driven to the river bank, where they threw themselves into the river and died.

The corpses of nearly [-] yellow scarves were built into appalling "Beijing Temples" standing on the fertile fields of Xiaquyang. Several days after the end of the battle, there were still tens of thousands of corpses floating on the river.

Of the 16 yellow scarves, none of them was surrendered by the Han army. Sixteen "Beijing Temples" stood in Xiaquyang. It was not until the second year of Zhongping that the sixteen "Beijing Temples" were slowly demolished.

Although Hua Tuo practiced medicine in the south, he naturally learned about the war in Xia Quyang under the publicity of the court.

"16 million people..."

Hua Tuo looked at the slowly flowing river, and then slowly closed his eyes.

It is easy for a doctor to save people and cure a disease if it is a minor disease, but if it is a difficult and miscellaneous disease, it needs to be concentrated to save a person.

At most dozens of people can be diagnosed and treated in one day, and more than a hundred people are already the limit of energy.

With 16 people, it is impossible for him to rescue so many people in his whole life, but it only takes one day to kill all 16 people.

Zhang Ji's hands holding Ah Su's legs tightened involuntarily.

The army was defeated like a mountain, and once the 16 Yellow Turbans collapsed, it was like the sky falling.

He was very fortunate that he met Xu An. He followed Xu An all the way from Guangzong to Xiaquyang, and then ran all the way to Jingxing and entered Taihang Mountain, so that his bones would not be buried in the wilderness of the countryside.

The remaining 16 people wearing yellow scarves died in Xiaquyang.

Many of them died without even having a complete dress.

Zhang Ji's gaze was a little wandering. Now there is a yellow flag standing on the city wall of Xiaquyang, which is very similar to the yellow flag in the first year of Zhongping.

But this time, they did not fail. He won the victory. They exchanged tens of thousands of deaths for the final victory, allowing millions of people in the four states to safely cross the official road and go to Bingzhou.

Along the way, one person after another fell on the road.

There were more than [-] yellow angels who followed Xu An in the past, but now there are only more than [-] people left.

The bandit Huang San, who knelt on Lutai Mountain and told Xu An that he wanted to live, finally fell in Kuicheng, and did not live to see the scene of the Yellow Turban Army in full swing.

Sui Gu, who wanted to fight for his elder brother, also fell on the field of Kuicheng.

Hao Meng, who once wanted to abandon his comrades and escape alone, also died on the north bank of Zhangshui.

Zhang Kai, Zuo Miaozhangba, Ping Han, Daji, one after another the generals of the Yellow Turban Army died. From Taihang to Bingzhou, and then to Jizhou, countless Yellow Turban Army generals fell, and countless Yellow Turban Army soldiers died in battle.

Fortunately, their hard work has finally paid off. Now that they occupy a place in Bingzhou, they are finally no longer displaced, and finally they are no longer just like fetching water from a bamboo basket. , can only be turned into a lament.

"Both inside and outside, the eight states are concurrent, as real as fantasy, confusing, bustling, but a dream Huaxu."

Zhang Ji's eyes turned to the official road, not far in front of them, a tall banner was slowly moving forward, surrounded by a large number of small khaki flags.

That was Xu An's big flag. Xu An did not enter the safe Jingxing Pass first, but stayed behind with the Xiaoqi Battalion, guarding this group of people who were put on the last relocation due to the epidemic.

Hua Tuo turned his head to look at Zhang Ji and his party. He naturally saw the eyes of Zhang Ji and others. He noticed that whenever he saw the Xu An Daqi Banner, the eyes of the eagle wolf guards seemed to be full of reverence.

It was really hard for him to imagine what kind of belief it was that could make millions of people abandon their homeland. Surrounded by countless tigers and wolves, they resolutely chose to cross the Yellow River from the land of four states, cross the Yellow River all the way westward, and go westward. Bingzhou thousands of miles away.

He also couldn't understand why the Yellow Turban Army occupied the thirteen counties of Youbin, and when the Xiongnu and Wuhuan in Beiding could develop with peace of mind, they were willing to take strange risks and join forces with Youbin to attack with all nine routes. Fight the Han army in Jizhou, cover the people of the four states and enter Bingzhou.

The good news is that if they win, if they lose, the Yellow Turban Army will really fall into a place of eternal doom, and there will never be a day of recovery.

"I want to ask you a question."

Hua Tuo leaned on his scepter, faced Zhang Ji, and asked.

Hearing Hua Tuo's words, Zhang Ji replied without hesitation: "Sir, it's okay to say, as long as I, Zhang Ji, know, I will definitely not hide it."

"Don't be nervous, Officer Zhang Qi." Hua Tuo smiled, "I didn't mean to ask about any confidential matters."

"I just want to ask, have the people in these four states not considered what will happen to them if you fail and stop the Han army?"

"fail?"

Hearing Hua Tuo's question, Zhang Ji couldn't help being startled, he never thought about failure at all.

"I don't know about the others, but I never thought about the outcome of failure."

Hua Tuo was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect Zhang Ji to reply like this.

"I was picked up from the side of the road by a great virtuous teacher. My mother and my family all starved to death on the way to flee famine."

Zhang Ji grinned and laughed, as if saying another thing that had nothing to do with him.

"I followed my eldest brother from Guangzong to Xiaquyang, then to Taihang Mountain, and then to Shangdang, all the way here. I never thought about the end of failure."

"Following the big brother, we have won all the way. The big brother said that we have lost enough times, and we will never lose again."

Zhang Ji stared at Xu An's big flag not far away with piercing eyes, and Ah Su, who was riding on his neck, also stopped barking his teeth and claws.

"Brother told me, as long as you follow behind him, I don't know the truth, I haven't read any sage books, but I know that there is always nothing wrong with listening to what your brother says."

"I used to carry the military flag for my eldest brother. At that time, my eldest brother was only a team leader. I followed behind my eldest brother and watched my eldest brother step by step become a military officer, a handsome man, and a great teacher."

"Brother's banner is getting bigger and bigger every day, so tall that I really don't have the strength to lift such a tall banner."

Zhang Ji withdrew his gaze from looking at Daqiqi, and turned to look at Hua Tuo calmly.

"He is walking faster and faster, and I can no longer keep up with his footsteps. Even Gong Qushuai and Liu Qushuai can't keep up with the elder brother's pace, so the elder brother asked me to come to the Eagle Wolf Guard, and I led the military order. Went to Jiangyi."

"Since I'm on the battlefield, I can't help big brother, at least I can help you in the Eagle Wolf Guard."

"I have never doubted every word my elder brother said, and everyone here should and no one doubts."
