The World of Yellow Sky

Xu An still hadn't forgotten that the Xiliang Army had helped him attack the Southern Huns before, advancing the control zone all the way to the northern part of Shangjun and the southern part of Shuofang County.

There are still more than 1 cavalry troops of the Xiliang Army there, and from time to time they enter the area controlled by the Yellow Turban Army to investigate, and there are frequent changes.

Although the Yellow Turban Army and the Xiliang Army are now allies, what Han Sui did made Xu An feel a little worried.

In the original time and space history, the Xiliang Army was defeated in the Battle of Chencang, and Huangfusong chased after him in successive battles, smashing the kingdom's troops, and captured more than 1 heads, with countless casualties.

Han Sui, Ma Teng and others jointly abolished the kingdom, and coerced Yan Zhong, the former magistrate of Xindu County and a famous scholar in Liangzhou, to be the leader and lead the ministries.

Yan Zhong was unwilling to submit, but Han Sui and Ma Teng controlled strong soldiers, and finally died of illness in anger.

After Yan Zhong died of illness, Han Sui and others fell into a struggle for power again, and then attacked and killed each other, so their power gradually weakened, and they were no longer able to commit crimes in the south.

Until June of the third year of Chuping (192), Han Sui, Ma Teng and others surrendered and led the crowd to Chang'an.

The imperial court under the control of Li Jue appointed Han Sui as the general of Zhenxi and Ma Teng as the general of Zhengxi, clearing his identity as a traitor.

Han Sui didn't believe it, it was obvious, but now Xu An was not afraid of the Xiliang Army.

Although the Xiliang army seems to be strong and strong, it is actually strong on the outside and capable on the inside.

When a big battle really broke out, Xu An summoned Bingzhou Yicong cavalry and Wuhuan cavalry, together with the armored cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army, they would definitely gain the upper hand in the battle.

But going west now is not a good opportunity.

The current Yellow Turban Army has gone through several battles and is already exhausted.

Moreover, the soldiers and horses have not been moved, and the food and grass have gone first. Now there are not many food reserves in the interior, and they are stretched, but they are barely enough.

The Yellow Turban Army also has no way to recruit a large amount of food to go north to fight this costly battle. It is not worth it and it is not necessary.

"The Shuofang defense area will be led by Li De, General Du Liao, with a quota of 3000 people. He is now stationed in Meiji, the former king's court of the Xiongnu, and insists on the surrender of the Huns."

"I'm planning to raise another 3000 people to be stationed at the southern city of Shuofang County, 'Dacheng'."

The command whip in Xu An's hand moved to a city at the junction of Liangzhou and Bingzhou.

Dacheng is the southernmost city in Shuofang County, and it is also the location of the border city that Xu An opened up after requesting assistance from Liangzhou.

Originally, the border city was controlled by the Xiliang army and one of the Xiongnu, because Xu An's energy was in Jizhou at that time, and some were beyond his reach, so no troops were sent to govern it.

Now that the Yellow Turban Army has shrunk across the board, and has welcomed back the Yellow Turban Army from the four states, it is natural that they need to control this border market by themselves.

Xu An glanced at the generals in the house. The Shuofang area is sparsely populated and located in a plain area. They are good at cavalry combat. The newly established 3000 people are all cavalry. They need a cavalry general and a certain overall situation. view.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou didn't look sideways, they sat upright, Xu An's eyes didn't stay on them for a long time.

Although both of them are first-class cavalry generals, stationing in Dacheng not only requires leading the cavalry, but also dealing with the Qiang people in Liangzhou and the attached Huns. The two of them are not good at it. It is extremely inappropriate to transfer them to such a remote area, I am afraid that they have some opinions in their hearts.

"Gong Ming."

Xu An's eyes fell on Xu Huang who was wearing a plain shirt.

Xu Huang is rigorous in running the army, brave and not lacking in strategy. He joined the Yellow Turban Army very early and has enough experience to deal with various emergencies.

"The end is here."

Xu Huang lowered his head slightly, bowed his hands, and replied respectfully.

Xu An didn't give an order directly, but put on a consulting tone: "You may be willing to go to the big city to garrison."

"The end will be willing to go."

Without hesitation, Xu Huang replied straightforwardly.

Xu An nodded to Xu Huang, Xu Huang understood.

In fact, he didn't feel relegated or sent down when he went to a remote place like Shuofang.

"In addition to these four defense zones, there is actually one more."

After Xu An finished explaining the areas that the Yellow Turban Army needed to defend, Xu An did not sit down, but continued to talk.

"The fifth defense zone should not be called a defense zone, because it is not yet in the hands of our army."

Xu An's command whip moved down and stopped at the southern part of Shangjun in Bingzhou, which is currently controlled by the Han army. The Shangjun controlled by the Yellow Turban Army is just north of the Great Wall.

"There is an undercurrent in Luoyang. Dong Hou and Liu Xie succeeded to the throne, but they are not convinced. According to the report from the Eagle Wolf Guard, most of Dong Zhuo's army has already marched to Luoyang, while the army led by Huangfu Song is still staying in the Chencang area. Now The center of the Han court is in turmoil, which is a good time to fish in troubled waters."

"so!"

The command whip in Xu An's hand slammed on the place painted with red paint in Shangjun, and his tone was sharp.

"Zhang Yan, I will assign you a military pawn, a sharp soldier, and an infantry, a total of three troops, and then deploy [-] heavy catapults with you. Take this opportunity to conquer the southern part of Shangjun in one fell swoop. "

"At worst, you have to advance to the Gaonu area (near today's Yan'an), and the farthest you are allowed to advance is near Diaoyang."

"Wherever you advance the territory, you can use that as the defense zone. That is the fifth defense zone of our army, the Shangjun defense zone, with a rated force of 1 troops."

"The last general takes orders!"

Zhang Yan's eyes brightened slightly, and he finally reached his current position step by step.

Guard one side, and serve as a big official for one side.

"The last general, it will be Duke Ming who took down Shangjun."

Xu An put down his command whip, and everyone's eyes left Kanyutu and looked at Xu An again.

"Our army is small and big, so we can't act too hastily, otherwise, if we make a mistake, everything will be lost. Please wait for a year or so, and then you will surely make contributions."

"Now our Taiping Dao has millions of people, tens of thousands of armored men, and the tigers are entangled in a secluded place. After recharging our energy and recharging our energy, our power has expanded again. You may not be able to make further progress. It is not difficult to be named a marquis or a general."

Xu An sat down slowly, with a serious expression on his face, and scanned the people in the house, then bowed slightly, bowed his hands, lowered his head, and lowered his voice.

"Everyone, please come with me."

Chapter 467 Surprised

Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty died at the age of 33 and reigned for 20 years.

In the past 20 years, there was Wang Fu who was good at governing and disrupting the country, and Shi Chang served the common people, and then there was the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the Liangyou Rebellion.

The people's livelihood is in decline, the loyal and the good are suffering, the treacherous and the evil are officials, and the tyrannical and powerful are rampant.

The posthumous title "Ling" is for Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty-so chaotic but not harmful, he called "Ling".

Amidst the noise, with the lights of Wanjia, the five years of Zhongping gradually went away.

The fifth year of Zhongping was not a good time for the Han Empire. The Qiang rebellion in Liangzhou was still unresolved, and Zhang Ju in Youzhou still had a chance to fight. The four prefectures had a million yellow scarves revived. The Han army suffered a disastrous defeat in the battle of Jizhou. , no longer able to prevent the rise of Taipingdao in Bingzhou.

The emperor died, the young emperor inherited the great rule, Luoyang was in turmoil, and there were constant disputes in the temple.

The Han Empire, a disease-ridden and extremely weak giant, walked forward with difficulty, and its body was already riddled with holes.

On the side of the road, ferocious beasts surrounded it, waiting for it to weaken or let down its vigilance.

Diseases entangled its body, and moths were slowly devouring its body.

Not far away, the flames were raging, spreading towards the place where it was.

The edict was sent out from Luoyang, and the news of the new emperor's ascension to the throne has spread throughout the world.

In this world, there is no longer the sixth year of Zhongping, and it is replaced by the first year of Yonghan (189).

Just after the New Year, there is a scene of joy in the city.

Bingzhou has not been as prosperous as it is now for many years, the Xiongnu surrendered, and trade is no longer closed.

The four directions are peaceful, there are no exorbitant taxes, no heavy corvees, no rangers in the squares and cities, and no dignitaries guarded by large groups of servants.

Some were just wearing dark blue uniforms, walking slowly past Yellow Turban patrols from the middle of the street from time to time.

In the government office of Jinyang.

Xu An sat on the cushion, flipping through the report submitted by Fu Qi, Secretary of Agricultural Affairs.

Now the officials of the Yellow Turban Army have begun to use paper extensively to replace the original bulky bamboo slips.

There is no shortage of raw materials for papermaking in the Taihang Mountains. Because of the impact of the Shuofang War, the Yellow Turban Army captured a large number of Huns, so there is not a shortage of labor in the Taihang Mountains.

They have to go through several years of labor reform before they can regain their freedom.

Carts of raw materials were pulled into workshops, and then carts of "yellow sky paper" were pulled into government offices and schools in various places.

With the production of more and more paper in the paper workshop, the current paper can not only supply all the school books, but also the government offices of the Yellow Turban Army and the army began to use the yellow sky paper.

Almost all the original bulky bamboo slips were left unused, but because of the lack of paper, some important bamboo slips were kept in the warehouse.

Because of the use of paper, the administrative office on Taiping Road not only reduced the cost, but also increased the efficiency of handling things a lot.

The original bamboo slips are expensive and cumbersome to make, not easy to carry, and extremely bloated.

After closing the document delivered, Xu An's frown was also relaxed. Fu Qi and Yang Ji arranged everything in an orderly manner in Shangdang County.

There are millions of people who entered Bingzhou this time, but so far, there have been no major problems, only some minor problems, but Fu Qi and Yang Ji quickly resolved them all. There was no great commotion or commotion.

Now nearly 30 people have entered Shangdang County and settled in various places, and they are proceeding in an orderly manner according to the original plan.

The four states have a total population of about 110 million people.

Shangdang County got its name because of its extremely high ground and the party with the sky, so it is called Shangdang.

There is Wangwu in the south, Taihang in the east, and Taiyue in the west. It is high around and low in the middle.

But it has a unique condition, that is, there are two large basins in the central area of ​​Shangdang County surrounded by mountains.

One is the Changzi Basin located in Changzi City, in the central area of ​​Shangdang County, and the other is the Gaodu Basin located near Gaodu City, in the southern area of ​​Shangdang County.

This is also an important reason why Yan Zhong proposed to take Shangdang County first.

Shangdang County, which has the two basins of the eldest son and Gaodu, is vulnerable to attack and has sufficient development prospects, which can be used as a place for foundation.

Shangdang County was the first county that Xu An occupied. It has been two years since Xu An took Shangdang County into his pocket in the third year of Zhongping (186).

Today, the development of Shangdang County is far from the development of other places. Not only is the newly reclaimed farmland the most among all states and counties, but also the state and county with the largest number of water conservancy projects.

Shangdang County is also the first prefecture and county to fully implement the garrison system after the pilots of Mintun and Juntun in Hedong County.

In the original Shangdang County, there were only more than [-] people, and many places were not fully developed.

According to the plan, a total of 40 people will be resettled in Shangdang County. According to the current situation of Shangdang, it is more than enough.

However, the number of people entering Bingzhou is far more than 40, and it is naturally impossible for Shangdang County to fully accommodate them.

According to the plan, another 30 people will be resettled to Hedong County.

After Lu Bu led the Xiaoqi Battalion to settle in Hedong County, he could once again push the control of the Yellow Turban Army along the Fen River.

With enough cavalry, it is entirely possible to rely on Fenshui to stop the Hun cavalry from attacking, and the fertile land that had to be abandoned can now be used again.

Hedong County was originally the land of Sili, with a population of more than 60.

Because of the previous rebellion, the powerful families in Hedong County escaped, and all the fields were taken into public ownership by Xu An, and the farms were practiced.

The fields in Hedong County are several points better than those in Shangdang County.

Now Xu An controls the nine counties of Bingzhou, the two counties of Youzhou and the northern part of Hedong County of Sili.

But in fact, the current situation of the six counties of Shuofang, Wuyuan, Yunzhong, Xihe, Dingxiang, and Yanmen in Bingzhou cannot accommodate a large population.

Although the land is vast and sparsely populated, due to technical problems, many places cannot be cultivated.

In these places, Xu An has only developed some civilian settlements, and the rest are basically military reclamation.

These six counties implement the combination of animal husbandry and farming. Xu An plans to move only about [-] people from each county except Xihe County for more than [-] people. Because of the previous invasion of Xihe County, there are only a few thousand people left in Xihe County. Something special.

As for the southern part of Shangjun, although it can be cultivated, it is still in the hands of the Han army.

Xu An's plan was to wait until Zhang Yan took over the southern part of Shangjun, and move some of the people who had been working for relief to Shangjun to reclaim the fields, implement civilian settlements, and enrich the border defense. It is estimated that there will be more than [-] people.

However, Shanggu County and Dai County in Youzhou are too far away, and now they accommodate the Shanggu Wuhuan tribe. Some Wuhuan people have joined the Yellow Turban Army's garrison sequence, and the population that can be accommodated is extremely limited.

However, due to the large number of Wuhuan people, in order to stabilize the situation, there must be a sufficient number of Han people to stabilize.

Shanggu County and Dai County in Youzhou are expected to immigrate more than [-] people each.

In the end, the remaining tens of thousands of people will be left in the Taihang Mountain area, living close to the mountain.

Because the preparations of the Yellow Turban Army were sufficient before, as well as the arrangements of Yang Ji and Fu Qi, they are now moving people to various places according to the original plan.

In Taiyuan County, more than [-] people have also moved in, and the follow-up migration team is still coming in a steady stream.

According to the estimates of Yang Ji and Fu Qi, the million people who have entered Bingzhou will complete their migration by the end of March this year at the latest, and all of them will be resettled.

The villagers resettled in Hedong County, Shangdang County, and Taiyuan County can reclaim new land that can catch up with spring plowing.
