The World of Yellow Sky

Xu An spoke a few words from time to time before, and he could still maintain the demeanor that a messenger should have, but now the dull atmosphere is so oppressive that he is almost out of breath.
The envoy's actions surprised Xu An, the envoy's voice trembled a little, he could tell that the conditions offered by the envoy should be the highest price in Yuan Shao's heart.
60 shi, 8000 million coins.
Xu An's hand holding the folding fan tightened involuntarily, and the corners of his mouth even couldn't help but curl up.
When I was struggling, someone actually delivered a pillow, and it was the kind of extremely comfortable pillow.
The 2000 million yuan sent by Dong Zhuo was sprinkled in Hedong County, and Xu An used it to recruit villagers to build roads. The business of Hedong County has also prospered because of this huge sum of money.
Now that the autumn harvest is just over, there will be a period of slack in the farming season. Originally, Xu An didn't have much money to continue to develop Bingzhou because he was going to send troops to Liangzhou, but now Yuan Shao sent 8000 million yuan in time, which is really timely.
8000 million yuan is not a small sum for Yuan Shao. In the past when Dong Zhuo was in Sili, almost all the powerful families in Luoyang were rich and owned a lot of assets, but Dong Zhuo directly killed him and robbed him.
Yuan Shao is not Dong Zhuo, if he imitates Dong Zhuo, the grass on the grave would be ten feet high.
8000 million yuan is nothing to Dong Zhuo, but it is indeed a bit heartbreaking to Yuan Shao now, and 60 shi for military rations is a lot of money, especially for Yuan Shao who is currently fighting.
"Han Sui is a despicable person. He repeated many times. Ma Teng behaved badly. The two of them slandered our way of peace, and even sent troops to plunder the people. It cannot be said that they were too presumptuous."
Xu An forcibly suppressed the smile on his face, and spoke righteously.
"It's just that our army is really powerless now, suffering from the lack of military rations and military resources. Now General Cheqi is willing to help our army with funds to send troops. How can I, Xu An, refuse General Cheqi's kindness?"
Seeing Xu An's statement, Yuan Shao's envoy breathed a sigh of relief, his head was preserved.
"Everyone in the world says that General Zuo has a style of benevolence and righteousness. Seeing him today, it is true."
Naturally, the envoy would not be stingy with flattering words at this time.
Then the envoy narrated again, how the general food was handed over to the Yellow Turban Army.
Although it is an ally, it must not be placed on the bright side.
The envoy said that they would put food and money in warehouses on the border, and the Yellow Turban Army would send troops to fetch them. Of course, the reason for the outside world was that the Yellow Turban Army had discovered their secret warehouse and sent troops to rob it.
Of course, the food, grass and money were all given in batches, and all of them would be delivered after the war between Xu An and Liangzhou started.
After negotiating the details, Xu An didn't intend to keep the envoy anymore. The envoy had achieved his goal, and he didn't want to stay in the place occupied by the Yellow Turban Army for a long time.
He still remembered the hostile gazes of the people in the Jinyang government office when they learned that he was the envoy sent by Yuan Shao, especially those yellow angels holding weapons. There was a killing intent, he really didn't want to stay in Jinyang City for a moment.
The wooden door was slowly closed, and the messenger also walked away slowly.
Yan Zhong picked up the seal of General Zuo sent by the emissary before, looked at it for a while, and smiled contemptuously.
"I have never touched the general seal of the imperial court, but the seal of General Zuo is really good, and it is a bit more delicate than the one that Duke Ming asked Jinyang craftsmen to cast."
"Compared with General Zuo's seal, Bingzhou Mu's seal is much more majestic..."
Jia Xu glanced at the seal of General Zuo in Yan Zhong's hand, smiled and shook his head.
"Relocating the prefectural herdsmen, Liu Junlang made a good plan to occupy Yizhou, cut off the traffic, and be his king of Shu in Yizhou. As a result, the county guards and prefectural herdsmen in various places are now taking advantage of the chaos to separate their regimes."
Yan Zhong casually threw Yuan Shao's envoy to send General Zuo's seal on the desk, and asked, "Ming Gong, what should we do with these two seals?"
"It's fine to throw such useless things anywhere. My Taiping Dao is dominating the cross-state and counties, and it's in full swing. Does the position of general and state shepherd still need to be rewarded by the Han court, which is now at sunset?"
Xu An glanced sideways at the seal on the desk and sneered.
"joke!"
Xu An unfolded the folding fan in his hand with a swish.
"How is the preparation of the Fifth Cavalry Battalion?"
Yan Zhong was in charge of the cavalry affairs. In fact, Yan Zhong, not Xu An, was the one who formulated the main strategy for the attack on Liangzhou this time.
Yan Zhong traveled around Liangzhou when he was young, and he knew the customs, terrain, cities and Qiang tribes of Liangzhou very well.
"The five battalions of Xiaoqi, Wuxiang, Bingzhou, Shanggu, and Duliao are all fully equipped. Except for Duliao battalion, which is left behind in Bingzhou, which is only equipped with one man and two horses, the other four battalions are all equipped with one man and three horses."
"Li De, General Du Liao, and Liu Shi, General Rebellion, have also issued an order to recruit Bingzhou Yicong and Shanggu Yicong. Bingzhou Yicong recruited 1 people to station in Meiji, Xihe County. There are 3000 people stationed in Wucheng, Dingxiang County, all of whom have one man and two horses, but their armaments are slightly inferior, and there is no new type of riding gear."
"General Xu Huang has also secretly returned from the big city. The Wuxiang Camp has followed the order of Duke Ming, and Xu Huang will replace Zhang Yang as the head of the Wuxiang Camp."
"Yan Liang and Wen Chou have also been transferred back from the northern part of Zhongshan, and now General Xu Huang is under orders."
"Except for Duliao Battalion, the four battalions of cavalry troops have all assembled in Jiuyuan City, Wuyuan County, and infantry such as Wuyuan Battalion, Ruishi Battalion, Suppressed Battalion, and Yellow Angels have entered Shangjun, and they are ready to cooperate with Ming Gong at any time. Attack Beidi County."
"The Eagle Guard sent a message that the western Xianbei is preparing for the winter, Shuofang County is safe, our army's march has a higher concealment rate, and the western Xianbei royal court has not changed its position."
In the autumn of the second year of Yongshou, Tan Shi Huai then drove three or four thousand riders into the cloud.
In the first year of Yanxi, Xianbei invaded the north.
In the second year, he returned to Yanmen, killed hundreds of people, and looted them away.In the summer of the sixth year, more than a thousand cavalry invaded Liaodong and belonged to the country.
In the summer of the ninth year, tens of thousands of people rode into the nine counties on the edge of the border, and killed and looted the officials.
Emperor Ling was established, and the border counties of You, Bing, and Liang prefectures were copied by the Xianbei bandits, killing countless...
The vengeance of the ninth generation can still be avenged, whether it is Tanshihuai, or the Xianbei tribes in the chaos of later generations, the sins they committed must be avenged.
……
"This battle will be led by me personally!"
Xu An slowly raised his head, staring ahead, without hiding the murderous intent in his eyes.
"I want all the ministries in Mobei to dare not avoid my flag of Taipingdao when they see my Taipingdao banner! They will be frightened when they hear the name of my Taipingdao!"
Chapter 551 Sending Troops Beyond the Great Wall
In the first year of Chuping, September [-]th.
Bingzhou, Wuyuan County, Jiuyuan City.
Outside Jiuyuan City, teams of rangers roamed the wilderness on the outskirts of the city.
With Jiuyuan City as the center, all tribes within a radius of [-] miles moved south without exception.
Numerous khaki-colored flags were waving on Jiuyuan City, among which four were the tallest and stood right in front of the city tower.
The four banners are: "Xiaoqi", "Wuxiang", "Bingzhou" and "Shanggu".
"Ugh——"
The sound of low-pitched horns echoed outside Jiuyuan City, and the sound of rumbling horseshoes hardly stopped.
Nearly [-] cavalrymen gathered together, all of them were three riders per person, with [-] war horses. It is not surprising that there is such a momentum.
"Woo——"
Xu Anle stopped the horses under his seat, and behind him hundreds of well-dressed and well-armored Tengxiang Guards cavalry slowly stopped holding flags and soldiers.
The strong wind blew, and the sound of hunting suddenly attacked from behind Xu An.
A group of generals and schools of the Yellow Turban Army were lined up on both sides of Xu An
Lu Bu, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Zhou Cang, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Guan Hai, Cheng Lian, Wei Yue, and Cao Xing ranked first.
In this battle, all the brave cavalry generals of the Yellow Turban Army were recruited by Xu An.
Just under the mound where Xu An's horses were stationed, groups of cavalrymen were slowly walking past him.
"Wan Sheng!!!"
The cries of mountains and tsunami have never stopped in Xu An's ears. Every team of cavalry who passed Xu An's flag raised their arms high and moved towards Xu An's direction, raising their arms and shouting. !
"Where are Yan Gong and Zhang Yang?"
Xu An tilted his head slightly, and asked Liu Pi beside him.
"Yan Gongling, Bingzhou Yicong, and Shanggu Yicong, a total of 3 people have arrived in the south of Dacheng in Shuofang County. The Xiliang Army and the Western Xianbei Army stationed in Dacheng have been captured by our army. The Eagle Guards confirmed that the information has not been leaked. Dacheng Now it is under the control of our army, as long as the caravan heading for Ayutthaya enters Ayutthaya, they will be imprisoned."
"On November 25st, Lord Yan will follow the original plan to attack the western Xianbei in Beidi County of Liangzhou and Shuofang County of Bingzhou. On September [-]th, Zhang Yan has already led his troops to move closer to Beidi County. Yes, but the terrain from Shangjun to Beidi County is complicated, and the catapults of our army need to be dismantled before passing through, and it may take about seven days later than the original plan to arrive at the designated location."
Xu An nodded slightly. Yingwei was responsible for the exploration of the terrain from Shangjun to Beidi County. There is still a big gap between the theoretical marching time and the actual marching time, but these are irrelevant.
The Battle of Liangzhou relied on cavalry instead of infantry, and the protagonists of this drama were the cavalry on both sides.
Xu An led the horse back and forth on the mound, and a map of marching and fighting slowly emerged in his mind.
From Jiuyuan City to Shuofang County, the closest place to the Xianbei King's Court in the west is Jilusai, which is more than [-] miles westward along the course of the Yellow River. More than [-] cavalry from the Yellow Turban Army are still stationed there.
"Order all the armies to save their horsepower and march at a normal speed. The Bingzhou and Shanggu battalions are the front army, the Xiaoqi battalion and Tengxiang guard are in the middle, and the Wuxiang battalion is the rear army."
Xu An raised his whip and gave an order in a deep voice.
The terrain along the way was a bit complicated for a distance of more than 600 miles, but according to Xu An's current cavalry, it took about ten days to reach the destination.
Logistics supplies are not a problem. The plan to attack Liangzhou has long been drawn up. Not far from Jilusai is Linrong, the seat of Shuofang County. The Yellow Turban Army has more than [-] soldiers stationed in Linrong, because here There is a large amount of food stored here, and this is Xu Anding's supply station.
If the Battle of Liangzhou is protracted, the Yellow Turban Army will continue to transport armaments and military supplies from Bingzhou to Liangzhou from here.
"The queue for the Xiaoqi Battalion has passed."
Xu Hong glanced at the scene above the official road, the banner of the Xiaoqi Battalion was about to disappear from sight, and now the cavalry army of the Bingzhou Camp marched on the official road, as the captain of Xu An's personal guard, Xu Hong naturally Just a reminder.
"Not urgent."
Xu An waved his hand.
"Let's go after the last part has passed."
Xu An reined in his horse and said solemnly.
"I want all soldiers to know that I am with them!"
……
In the first year of Chuping, on October [-]th,
Jilu Fortress, this is the westernmost fortress in Shuofang County. It is said that the fortress is actually a bit enlarged. In fact, it can only accommodate less than two hundred people at most, and now there are only more than thirty people stationed there.
This year's winter is earlier than in the past, and the temperature on the grassland has reached a relatively low level.
"squeak----"
The suspension bridge of the Jilusai was slowly lowered, and several people in fur clothes and Xianbei costumes stepped into the Jilusai from the high wind.
"It's really cold in the north..."
The leader Xianbei muttered something, and took a cup of hot water that was denied by the soldiers in the fortress.
After drinking the hot water, he felt the temperature of his body slowly recovering, and he became conscious even after being frozen.
"How's it going?"
The wooden door was closed, shutting the cold north out of the fortress. The sound of firewood crackling came from inside the fortress, and the flames in the brazier flickered slowly, radiating residual heat.
"The place where the Western Xianbei Royal Court spends the winter has been determined and has not changed."
The Xianbei man sat on the Hu chair and took another sip of hot water. The temperature inside the house was obviously much higher than outside.
The Xianbei man took off his bloated fur coat, removed the Xianbei clothing, and revealed a young face, but it was quite different from ordinary Xianbei people, but more like the Han people in the south.
The team leader in the house handed over another piece of roasted meat, put it in front of the Xianbei man, and said with a smile: "Li Baihu has worked hard, did you bring Kanyu map?"
"Of course it was brought."
The Xianbei man was not actually a Xianbei man. His name was Li Cheng, and he was the Hundred Household Officer of the Eagle Guard stationed in Xianbei in the west. This time, his task was to determine whether the royal court of Xianbei in the west had changed, and also to determine the periphery of the royal court in the west. Where the tribe's wintering point is, try to keep the army away from the Xianbei tribe in the west as much as possible, and have less time to be alert.
"Not only did they bring the Kanyu map, but they also brought some guides. These four people are willing to lead the way for the Taiping Road."
Li Cheng took out a silk book from his pocket and patted it on the Hu table, then casually pointed behind him.
The team leader of the Yellow Turban Army picked up the map on Hu's table, and his eyes couldn't help but light up. The people stationed in such an important place are naturally not mediocre.
Since Xu An decided to attack the Xianbei Royal Court in the west, this place has become the guard of the Eagle Guard.
On the map, almost all the tribe locations in western Xianbei are marked very clearly, even the size of some tribes is marked, and the range of activities of some tribes is also marked.
All the eagle guards in the house were a little excited, and with this information, the battle became a bit more secure.
The matter of infiltrating Xianbei in the west has actually been done a long time ago. The earliest border market of the Yellow Turban Army was located in Shuofang County.
In Dacheng, the Yellow Turban Army sells goods in Dacheng, and trades goods with Xianbei and Liangzhou in the west.
Later, Xu An opened the border market in Shuofang County, and the western Xianbei gradually became closer to the Yellow Turban Army, which also gave Xu An the opportunity to plant a nail into the western Xianbei.
At this time of year, how could those tribes on the grassland have expected that there was such a horrible thing as a spy agency, and how could they have expected that the Yellow Turban Army, which had always kept its own law and order, would have a plan for them after occupying the Southern Huns pasture.
When everyone was excited, Li Cheng suddenly raised his hand. Seeing this, everyone stopped talking, thinking that he had something to say, but after waiting for a while, there was no follow-up.
