The World of Yellow Sky

Nan Lou had to admit that compared to his royal court, the Jinyang government office where Xu An lived was much more orderly and busy.

Although the Jinyang government office is big, it didn't take long for Yan Zhong and his party to walk to the inner courtyard where Xu An was located under the leadership of the Eagle Wolf Guard Hundred Household Officer.

Yan Zhong's eyes were very sharp, and he immediately saw a scribe in deep crimson clothes and a sage crown just walking out of the inner courtyard, his head was lowered as if he was thinking about something.

"Xu Ziyuan?"

Yan Zhong called out tentatively, this person looks like Xu You, but Xu You is supposed to be in Shangai County, assisting Liu Pi in managing the people, so he shouldn't come here.

"kindness?"

Xu You was in the middle of thinking, but was interrupted by Yan Zhong's shout, and couldn't help but startled.

"Meet Yan Gong."

Seeing Yan Zhong's figure, Xu You didn't dare to neglect, and immediately saluted.

Although Xu You is quite proud and thinks that the world is inferior to him, but he also has self-knowledge that Yan Zhong is higher than him in terms of prestige and status, and is an elder.

And now the Yellow Turban Army can have such a momentum, Yan Zhong is indispensible, and Xu You is convinced by his resourcefulness.

So Xu You has always respected Yan Zhong.

Yan Zhong asked puzzledly: "Why are you in the inner courtyard? Are you busy with the affairs of Shangai County?"

Xu You was about to answer, but suddenly saw Nanlou behind Yan Zhong. When they captured the two counties, Xu You and Nanlou had a relationship, but Xu You had a good memory, so naturally he would not forget Nanlou's appearance, after all Nanlou is also the master of the first chapter, which is quite important.

When the words came to the mouth, Xu You rolled his eyes slightly and replied.

"Most of the affairs in Shangai County have been completed, and Commander Liu can complete them independently. This time I came back to report on my work. Duke Ming has already arranged for me to work in the House of Internal Affairs. Both Duke Yang and Duke Fu are in Shangdang County, so Minggong asked me to temporarily act as the internal affairs order."

Yan Zhong did not doubt that he was there, and the Nanlou was still there, so it was not easy to delay the time, and then he just asked Xu You a few simple questions, and Xu You said goodbye and left.

"This is Duke Ming's residence, as well as his office space."

Yan Zhong raised his silk fan and pointed to the courtyard in front of him, saying helplessly.

Xu An has never bought a house, and his daily board and lodging are all in the government office of Jinyang City, and he hastily dealt with it in the side hall of his office building.

After being told by Yan Zhong this time, he still didn't buy a house.

Yan Zhong had no choice but to help Xu An clean up a well-preserved aristocratic mansion around the mansion.

Anyway, those are the properties of the Yellow Turban Army, and they don't have much use.

Yinglangwei Baihu, who was leading the way, stopped and did not move forward, while Yan Zhong, Nan Lou, Yu Jin and his group continued to move forward.

Yu Jin, who has never been timid all this time, suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling when she entered the courtyard this time. She involuntarily slowed down, leaving Yan Zhong and Nan Lou a few steps behind.

Yan Zhong led Nanlou and Yujin through the long corridor, and then walked into the courtyard gate.

"It's been hard work."

A rather gentle male voice sounded in Yujin's ear, which made people feel at ease.

She raised her head and looked from the outside of Nanlou's body to where the voice came from.

In the courtyard full of snow, a young man stood on the snow with his hands behind his back, wearing a purple Taoist robe and a Taiqing fishtail crown on his head, looking directly at this side.

Yan Zhong stepped forward, cupped his hands and said with a smile, "I've seen Duke Ming."

"Xiao Wang pays homage to the great virtuous teacher."

Seeing Xu An, Nan Lou hurriedly bowed to salute, and the followers behind him also saluted one after another.

"King Wuhuan please rise up."

Xu An stepped forward, supported Nanlou with both hands, and then said to Nanlou slightly apologetically.

"I'm busy with official duties, so please forgive me, King Wuhuan."

Nanlou didn't dare to speak out, and then said to the attendants behind him, took a gift slip, and handed it to Xu An.

"The great virtuous teacher is willing to marry with my Wuhuan tribe. The Wuhuan tribe is very honored. Although my Wuhuan tribe is not rich, I don't want to reduce the dowry and make others laugh."

Xu An unfolded the gift list from Nanlou. Although he was mentally prepared, he was still taken aback.

There are three thousand good horses, five thousand sheep, three thousand cattle, all kinds of leather and other sundries, and there are hundreds of carts in total.

Among them, there are a thousand more cattle than promised before. Now Xu An really needs more farming cattle, which can be regarded as a little careful consideration of Nanlou.

Xu An smiled slightly, this Nanlou was very sensible.

But these are not the most important. The most important thing is that in the gift list, there are two dowries that do not belong to the category of property.

Not property, but living people, a thousand elite knights of the Wuhuan tribe, as a dowry, these thousand elite knights of the Wuhuan tribe, Xu An can command at will.

The second dowry is a hundred female slaves.

Xu An's eyelids twitched slightly, and he had never experienced giving people away as gifts.

Looking at the words "slave" and other words written on the gift list, Xu An's face was slightly gloomy, but after all, he quickly covered it up and was not noticed by Nanlou.

Among them, when Xu An saw this paragraph, he remembered that he still had a very important problem that had not been resolved.

"Three Kingdoms Volume 38 Shushu Eighth Xu Misun Jianyi Qin Biography Eighth": The ancestors breed goods, thousands of children and guests, and the wealth is huge.Later Xuzhou Mu Taoqian was appointed as Biejia.

This is a paragraph describing the Mijia, a wealthy merchant in Xuzhou.

Among them, Tongke refers to servants, that is to say, the Mi family kept tens of thousands of servants at that time.

Slaves, servants, even if the master beat him to death, he didn't even need to inform the government, and he didn't need to bear any responsibility.

Under the current rule of the Yellow Turban Army, more than [-]% of the powerful families have been killed, and the slaves originally driven by those powerful families have also been liberated by Xu An. According to their specific conditions, they may be assigned to the people's settlements, or arranged for other slaves. Work from gathering, logging, and more.

However, there are still [-]% of the powerful families that have survived. They have not committed any bad crimes.

However, these two tenths of powerful families also raised many servants. In this era, there are no longer a few servants.

Some people are forced to be slaves, but some are voluntary slaves. Not every slave is worthy of mercy and rescue. There are not a few domestic slaves who take advantage of others and do evil.

Now under the rule of the Yellow Turban Army, there are still many people living under the same sky as their slaves.

Xu An's hand holding the gift list couldn't help but tighten.

Nanlou glanced to the left and right, but did not see Yujin, and finally found Yujin behind her.

"Come here yet, and pay homage to the great virtuous teacher."

Nanlou pushed Yujin and said.

"Meet the great virtuous teacher."

Yu Jin was a little nervous, but still bowed to Xu An.

Yan Zhong smiled slightly, and said to Nanlou on the side: "I heard that among the gifts this time, there are high-quality fur clothes. The weather in the north is getting colder, why don't King Wuhuan choose a few with me?" A fur coat, so I can bring it to some friends."

When Nan Lou heard it, he didn't know that Yan Zhong was going to leave with an excuse, so he agreed immediately.

Before Xu An could react, the two had already left the inner courtyard with a group of relatives.

"The military division is really..."

Xu An shook his head helplessly.

Then he put his eyes on Yujin. Although he had met once before, he was sitting in the house, and Yujin was outside the courtyard at that time. The girl in front of me.

Her hair is still the same as when I saw it in the courtyard before, it is fixed with a hairpin, and she is combed into a bun, but she is no longer wearing a fur coat, but a straight one that Han women often wear. Dressed in robes.

"Are you Xu An?"

Yu Jin was no longer nervous at this time. The nervousness at the beginning was really a bit depressing in the surrounding atmosphere, and the guards in the corridor were all murderous.

Xu An nodded, then laughed dumbly and said, "Don't I look like that?"

Seeing Yu Jin's appreciative expression, Xu An smiled and said, "We should have met once before."

"Did you forget? When An Puyan brought you to Jinyang, he was talking to me. When he left, you were in the courtyard."

"Ah." Yu Jin looked happy and laughed, "So that person is you."

Just like before, Yu Jin smiled, her eyes were bent into two crescents, revealing her white teeth,

"When you say that, I think of it, it seems to be really you."

Yu Jin walked up to Xu An, glanced at Xu An's face, and said solemnly.

"At that time you had a straight face, but now you are smiling, and it has been so long, you can't blame me for not recognizing it."

Seeing Yu Jin's serious look, Xu An couldn't help but want to laugh. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

At this time, it was Xu An's turn to start to have a headache. All along, he had been in contact with the officials of the government, or the generals of the various armies and the Tiqi of the Eagle Wolf Guard.

If it is a military command, it is naturally not a problem. Even if it is the people's livelihood and politics, Xu An is quite proficient now, but it is the first time for him to talk to women in this era.

Xu An had no idea what topic to look for.

But Xu An didn't need to speak, Yujin said again: "By the way, I heard that women in the Han region who marry their husbands have no names, only surnames. I heard what A Weng said. I don't know if it's right. what."

"Huh?" Xu An thought about it for a while, and he didn't know the details, but it seemed that they all called Mrs. X and Mrs. X, and they didn't have the habit of calling them by names.

For example, Mrs. Du, Mrs. Zou, and Mrs. Mi are all addressed with Mrs. after the surname, or surname.

Yu Jin clasped her hands together, looked up at Xu An, and asked nervously: "I like my name very much, can you let me keep a word."

Xu An smiled, and said indifferently: "It doesn't matter if you keep them all, as long as you are happy."

"No, no, the surname has to be changed. My family's surname is really ugly."

Upon hearing Xu An's words, Yu Jin waved her hands repeatedly and refused.

"I've already made up my mind. I want to follow your surname Xu. The word 'Xu' sounds so nice."

Xu An was amused by Yu Jin's words, Nanlou's surname is actually not unpleasant, and as far as Xu An knows, Nanlou has always been proud of it.

If he knew that his surname was so despised by his precious daughter, he wouldn't know what wonderful expression he would have.

Xu An suppressed a smile and asked, "Then have you decided on your name?"

"Nature has decided."

Yu Jin raised her head slightly and said loudly.

Seeing Yu Jin's expression, Xu An found it interesting,

Immediately bowed his hands and said cooperatively: "Then, may I ask Madam's name."

Yu Jin beamed with joy, bowed with both hands, bowed slightly to Xu An, and shouted solemnly.

"Xu Yu, I have met my beloved."

Chapter 474 The Six Cities of Zhongshan

The first year of Yonghan (189), February 21st.

The Taihang Mountains, which had been quiet for more than two months, became noisy again.

However, the place that caused the commotion this time was not Jingxing in Changshan Kingdom, but Puyinxing, the seventh of the eight Taihang Xings located in Zhongshan Kingdom, which is also one of the Eight Taihang Xings.

Zhongshan State is the northernmost part of Jizhou, but that was only before the Yellow Turban Uprising.

Because of the rise of Xu An, the Han Empire completely lost control of the Taihang Mountains, and the northernmost city had already been captured by the Yellow Turban Army.

The terrain of Puyinxing is very steep, easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Enter from the Aimen Mountain Gorge, take the way between the rocks, and ride along the road.

The cliff on the right is steeped in the sky, and the cliff on the left is hundreds of feet long. There is a raging turbulence below, and the thunder rises under the feet.

The southernmost pass in Puyinxing was called Wuruan Pass. Originally, there was also a Han army stationed there, but because of the chaos and lack of defense, the refugees rushed through the pass, which created an opportunity for Ping Han, who had already risen up at that time. Randomly he led The trilogy took advantage of the chaos and captured Puyinxing.

Later, as Xu An subdued Zhang Yan and led his army to march south, he surrendered to the poison and killed Yang Feng.

At that time in the northern Taihang, Guo Daxian, Zuo Miaozhangba, Zuo Xiao and others were deployed by the Yellow Turban Army. Seeing Xu An leading the Yellow Turban Army all the way, Ping Han, Daji, Zhang Baiqi and others knew that if they refused to join, I'm afraid a war is inevitable.

After weighing the pros and cons, Ping Han and the others also chose to surrender.

After Pinghan surrendered, Puyinxing was brought under Xu An's rule.

Although the northern Taihang has experienced several twists and turns, Puyinxing has not changed much, and has never fallen into the hands of the Han army again.

The southernmost side of Puyinxing is Wuruan Pass, where the Yellow Turban Army guards.

Originally, this place was managed by Liu Shi, but because of the adjustment of the defense zone, Yu Po took over the jurisdiction here.

Now the Taihang Yellow Turban Army is divided into three parts, the northern part, the central part, and the southern part.
