The World of Yellow Sky

Xu An felt his body go stiff for a moment, and Lu Bu's words made him feel like he had fallen into an ice cave.

He finally understood the reason for the discomfort in his heart during this journey. It is normal that he did not encounter Xianbei in the west during the first hundred miles of this journey.

But they traveled another forty or fifty miles to the place where the Xianbei tribe was active in the west, but there was still no trace of the Xianbei tribe in the west. This is a bit...

……

The wind and rain are getting stronger and stronger, and the cold wind blowing from the north has never been much of a hindrance, roaring across the vast grassland.

Although the atmosphere in the western Xianbei court at this time in previous years was not lively, most of the people had already hid in warm tents to avoid the cold.

But this year, the royal court of Xianbei in the west was very noisy. Xianbei people wearing fur coats and thick fur hats walked through the royal court.

The hurried Xianbei language hovered over the royal court.

Dressed in fur and tightly wrapped, He Louqi, the master of Xianbei in the west, held his waist knife and looked gloomy at the busy guards in the royal court.

The meaning of an adult in the Xianbei tribe is almost the same as that of Shanyu of the Huns. Although the actual meaning is different, the leader of Xianbei has such a name.

But these can only be counted as their respective language habits, or the names that the Han court put on them.

Xu An didn't care about the names of the tribal leaders of Xianbei, so in his words, he used Shanyu as his name.

He Louqi is the commander in charge of Xianbei in the west now, and the reason for his gloomy face at the moment is precisely because a messenger brought a terrible news not long ago.

The Yellow Turban Army, who has been entrenched in Bingzhou honestly for a long time, even opened a border market, and claimed to be mutually beneficial and friendly with them, showed their sharp fangs at this time.

He rushed all the way from Shuofang County, and the place pointed by the soldiers was not elsewhere, but the place where his royal court was.

The heart of the Yellow Turban Army is clearly revealed. Xu An wants to defeat the royal court of the Western Xianbei in one battle, and directly defeat the Western Xianbei.

"Despicable Han dog!"

He Louqi slammed his fist on the armament box next to him, the huge armament box let out a whine, almost fell to the ground, and roared in a low voice.

He originally felt that there was something wrong with the border market, but he couldn't explain it, but he never thought that the Yellow Turban Army would dare to attack their western Xianbei tribe, let alone that the first move would be a killer move, and they would rush thousands of miles to attack the royal court.

"My lord, tribes from all over the country are rushing to the royal court. The first wave of reinforcements can gather about 180 cavalry. Yu will arrive at the royal court after noon tomorrow. The front scouts will report to the Yellow Turban Army. It is only [-] miles away from our army, and our scouts dare not get any closer, for fear that they will be spotted if they get any closer."

A Xianbei nobleman hurried over, lowered his head and lowered his eyebrows, and reported to He Louqi.

"madness!"

After hearing this, He Louqi couldn't help but burst into anger, pointing at the Xianbei nobleman and yelling.

"It's all 150 miles outside the palace of the gods. You guys are still hiding. Those Han dogs may not have noticed it, but you are still hiding now. I really think those Han dogs are as stupid as you! Those Han dogs must now Something is wrong!"

He Louqi gritted his teeth angrily, wanting to kill someone, he kicked the Xianbei noble in front of him, and cursed angrily.

"What are you still doing in a daze? Do you want me to teach you by hand? Teach you to send scouts to find out the exact number of Yellow Turbans now!"

Seeing that He Louqi was angry, the Xianbei nobleman didn't dare to continue talking, even scrambled to get up from the ground, and left the royal court as if escaping. He Louqi was not a kind person. He Louqi killed them all, and the western Xianbei became independent.

He Louqi's mood at this time has been completely messed up. Now the royal court can gather only 3 strong men, including the old, weak, women, children, and slaves, the total number is 8 to [-].

But in the face of the old and weak women and children of the Yellow Turban Army, what kind of support can they have? As for the slaves, if they hear the news of the Yellow Turban Army's attack, they will even take the opportunity to make trouble, so what help?

"Fifty thousand riders..."

He Louqi had some confidence in his heart, the distance of 180 li was still about two days away.

With the buffer of 180 miles, everything is enough. Even if the Yellow Turbans marched in a hurry, he would have enough time to react.

As for the forced march, even if it was really a forced march, the Yellow Turban Army is still 180 miles away from the royal court, and when they rest at dusk, it will only have passed 160 miles, and there are still [-] miles left.

160 miles, how could it be possible to raid 160 miles in one night? Even if it really broke the common sense and ran for more than 160 miles, would the Yellow Turban Army still be able to fight?

No matter how strong the Yellow Turban Army was at that time, it was just a tired army at that time. When the reinforcements arrived tomorrow afternoon, the Yellow Turban Army would definitely be defeated.

But even if the Yellow Turban Army marched normally, he had already issued a king's order, calling on all ministries to encircle the Yellow Turban Army from all directions, and dispatched one to cut off the Yellow Turban Army's retreat.

"Ugh——"

In the Xianbei royal court in the west, the unique horn of the Xianbei people has already sounded. This is the sound of summoning the cavalry.

He Louqi turned his head to look at the place where the horn sounded, his face was ferocious and terrifying, and there was a palpitating fierce light in his eyes...

And greed...

He Louqi licked his chapped lips, and the corners of his mouth raised into a cruel smile.

The Yellow Turban Army running thousands of miles is not only dangerous, but also a god-given opportunity. If the main cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army is eaten by him here, then Bingzhou originally belonged to the Southern Huns, wouldn't all the pastures belonging to the Yellow Turban Army belong to him.

Even Bingzhou, which is more affluent, is not an existence that cannot be touched...

Chapter 553 Haoyue is the light, and the stars are the way

Above the night sky, Guanghan hangs high, and the sky is full of stars.

The wind and snow in the evening slowed down slightly compared to the daytime, but the temperature was a little lower because of the nightfall.

In the camp of the Yellow Turban Army, sparks were shining brightly. Xu An ordered the soldiers to leave the Ming camp. Now that they have been exposed, there is no difference between the Ming camp and the dark camp.

In the camp, the guards in charge of vigilance did not neglect in the slightest, they all watched the dark surroundings vigilantly.

In the Chinese army tent, Xu An closed his eyes and sat on a rough straw mat. A simple hourglass for timekeeping was placed on the desk in front of him.

Time passed by everyone's side bit by bit, and the crackling sound of burning firewood seemed extremely ear-piercing in the silent night.

Liu Pi, Lu Bu, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and other generals of the Yellow Turban Army sat in their tents, holding their breath and concentrating. No one dared to make any extraordinary moves at this moment.

The fine sand above the hourglass slowly flows from the upper part to the lower part, slowly filling the lower container little by little.

More than half of the fine sand on the upper part of the hourglass has passed away, leaving only a little fine sand. If you estimate the time, it may not even take 1 minute before all of it has passed to the lower part.

Xu An slowly opened his eyes, and the hourglass in front of him had all flowed out at this moment, flowing into the bottom of the hourglass.

In the Chinese military tent, everyone's eyes were also focused on him at this moment.

Xu An picked up the hourglass on the desk, stood up, and looked calmly at the solemn-looking Yellow Turban generals in the Chinese army tent.

Seeing Xu An standing up, Liu Pi also left his seat, knelt down on one knee, lowered his head, and reported in a deep voice.

"The preparations of all the armies have been completed. We only need to wait for the Lord's military order. The whole army can move immediately!"

Xu An clenched the hourglass in his hand, his gaze slowly became gloomy and cold, the originally dull atmosphere in the Chinese military tent disappeared without a trace in an instant, replaced by a murderous aura.

"He Louqi, the leader of the Western Xianbei, has discovered us. The [-] troops of the Xianbei Royal Court have already known our arrival. They are waiting for us to throw themselves into the net with their mouths wide open in the Xianbei Royal Court, and more than [-] Xianbei cavalry are coming from all directions. Wang Ting rushed to help."

Xu An's tone was calm, and the situation was extremely dangerous, but it didn't seem to have the slightest influence on Xu An.

None of the generals and schools of the Yellow Turban Army in the Chinese army's tent showed a look of fear on their faces.

Facing the Han army in Kuicheng in the past, they had no fear. They faced the last stand of more than [-] Xiongnu cavalry on the Shuo side, and they had no fear. But how could a mere [-] Xianbei riders make them feel intimidated?

"We haven't fought for a long time, and the world has forgotten our bravery. The tribes in the northern grasslands also think that our army is weak and deceitful..."

Xu An's face darkened slightly, his eyes sharpened, and a fierce murderous aura suddenly rolled out from his body.

"Today's battle will surely make the Hu people dare not go south to herd horses, and the soldiers dare not bend their bows and complain!"

Xu An walked forward at a tiger's pace, and the generals sitting on both sides of the tent stood up, followed Xu An and walked out of the tent one by one.

"Order the whole army to go west all the way, without stopping, and without hesitation, to attack the Xianbei royal court!"

"promise!"

All the generals behind Xu An suddenly agreed.

The two guards guarding the tent of the Chinese army opened the curtain.

Xu An strode out of the tent of the Chinese army.

Outside the tent, a group of Tengxiangwei soldiers were ready to go, blocking the outside of the Chinese army's tent.

Xu Hong stood at the forefront of the army with the Yanling Saber on his waist.

When all the people saw Xu An, they all bowed their heads to pay tribute, and avoided to go to the two sides. The dense crowd separated before Xu An's eyes like waves splitting.

"call out------"

Outside the tent of the Chinese Army, the unique wooden whistle of the Yellow Turban Army sounded under the night sky.

The whistle was sharp and long, spreading in all directions in an instant.

In the camp of the Yellow Turban Army, the soldiers of the fourth battalion heard the whistle and got on their horses. They had already woken up from their sleep, put on Gaoqiao saddles for their horses, fastened the reins, and fixed them double foot stirrups,

"Ugh——"

The low and desolate horn sounded from all over the camp, and the cavalry from all over the place had completed their assembly after a while and were ready to set off at any time.

Xu An held the reins tightly, and the strong wind blew, making the khaki war robe on him flutter.

Six hundred Tengxiang Guards in yellow clothes stood behind him, the military tents in the camp had been put away, and densely packed cavalry stood in front of him.

"There is only one goal for today!"

Xu An led the horse and walked around in the wind and snow.

The attention of all the cavalry was focused on Xu An, their eyes were burning and full of respect.

"Destroy the royal court of Xianbei in the west! Let the world once again sing the prestige of my way of peace!"

Xu An raised the Yanling Saber in his hand high, shouting hysterically.

The howling wind carried Xu An's voice far away.

One word spread to ten, ten to hundreds, everyone in the camp heard Xu An's words.

The cavalrymen of the Fourth Battalion, nearly [-] soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army, all raised their weapons high and yelled that slogan that they hadn't yelled for a long time.

"Cang Tian is dead, Huang Tian should stand!!"

"The year is Jiazi, the world will be blessed!!!"

Xu An's eyes were heavy, he suddenly raised his knife and slashed down, and shouted decisively: "Let's fight!"

"promise!"

A group of cavalry soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army suddenly agreed, and the muffled and powerful sound of horseshoes filled Xu An's ears in an instant.

The rain and snow gradually stopped, and the wind slowed down.

The bright moon hangs in the sky, and the clouds covering the moon in the night sky have dissipated at some point.

The stars in the sky are dim, and the bright moon is in front, unable to compete for brilliance.

The cold moonlight shone on the vast grassland, illuminating the way forward for more than [-] cavalrymen of the Yellow Turban Army, without even needing torches.

As pioneer scouts, they looked up at the sky and discerned the stars. As a guide, there was nothing on the grassland that could provide them with reference. It was not a map or a guide that guided the Yellow Turban Army. They are the vast stars in the universe.

The bright moon illuminates, and the stars lead the way.

The bright moon is the lamp, and the stars are the guide.

Amidst the sound of rumbling horseshoes, more than [-] cavalrymen of the Yellow Turban Army rolled towards the west.

The sudden departure of the Yellow Turban Army also attracted the attention of the surrounding Xianbei scouts.

In a hurry, they drove their horses, wanting to go back and report the news.

The scouts of the Yellow Turban Army were not just wine bags and rice bags. They left the camp long before the army set off, and began to strangle the Xianbei army scouts on the periphery of the army.

When the army was marching, they wandered around the periphery of the army, protecting the two wings of the army, front and back, and all directions.

The already elite scouts of the Yellow Turban Army were equipped with new harnesses. Under the leadership of Cheng Lian and Wei Yue, they easily defeated the Xianbei Army scouts on the periphery.

However, there were quite a few scouts from the Xianbei army who escaped from being strangled by the scouts of the Yellow Turban Army. They rushed to report the movement of the Yellow Turban Army, and wanted to bring the news to their respective tribes, and then inform the royal court.

It's just that they underestimated the marching speed of the Yellow Turban Army after all.

The marching speed of the Yellow Turban cavalry equipped with new-style riding gear is more than a star and a half faster than that of ordinary cavalry without new-style riding gear.

The sturdy horseshoes protect the horseshoes of the Yellow Turban Army's horses, and also allow them to adapt to various terrains and walk on them like flying.

The marching speed of the Yellow Turban army was even faster than the scouts of the general Xianbei army!

It is precisely because of this that as long as the Xianbei army scouts are discovered by the Yellow Turban army scouts, there is almost no possibility of escaping.

At this unimaginable speed, the Yellow Turban Army moved quickly towards the royal court of Xianbei in the west.

The scouts of the Xianbei Army who were in charge of guarding the Yellow Turban Army's camp, the Yellow Turban Army's camp is still 150 miles away from the Xianbei King's Court in the west, so when they discovered the news of the Yellow Turban Army's actions, they did not report back to the King's Court first, but first reported to each other. tribe.

Four or five neighboring tribes in Xianbei in the west have already been mobilized, and some troops have been sent to wander outside. However, these four or five tribes are all small and medium-sized tribes, and they only dispatched more than two thousand horses in total.

If Xu An's Yellow Turban Army was a normal army, then there would be no problem with their actions.
