The World of Yellow Sky

They have seen scenes that they never dared to dream of in this life, and they lived a life that they never dared to dream of in this life.

For them, this is actually the so-called world of Huang Tian. They have been respected and hoped, and their hard work will not be turned into nothingness again.

The family has surplus food, and the house has surplus money.

For the first time, they were treated as human beings, as human beings with dignity.

And in their view, all of this is because of Xu An, because of the arrival of Taipingdao.

"Where do you live?"

Xu An tidied up the slightly messy military uniform for the soldier in front of him. It could be seen that the soldier must have been flustered when he woke up.

"Back to the great virtuous teacher... the villain is in Shangdanglu County..."

The young soldier standing on the wall of the camp was a little nervous. Xu An's arrival made his forehead covered with fine sweat, and he was extremely nervous.

"Is your home safe?"

"All is well, all is well."

When he mentioned his family, a smile appeared on the young soldier's face, and his expression relaxed a little.

The atmosphere relaxed a bit, Xu An left the camp wall and walked towards the direction of the Chinese military tent. The sun in the east had slowly risen, and the sky had begun to light up.

The responsibilities on Xu An's shoulders are getting bigger and bigger, to the point that sometimes Xu An will even be affected by the pressure.

Taiping Tao deified him into a god, deified him into heaven, he was Huang Tian.

On the one hand, the good thing is that countless people followed him, went on and on, and followed him unswervingly.

But on the bad side, because of this, the believers of Taipingdao lifted him up high and put him on the altar, treating him as a true god.

But Xu An knew exactly what he was.

He is not a god, not the god who sits high on the palace and overlooks all living beings. He also does not have the magic power to reverse the yin and yang, and summon the soul to drive away ghosts.

He also didn't want to be a god, he didn't want to be that ridiculous incarnation of Huang Tian.

But he had no choice. He started from the time when the Taiping Dao was at its weakest. General Sangong was killed in battle, and all the yellow scarves and horses in the world were silent.

All he can rely on is the remaining Yellow Turban Army, and he must take over the banner of the Yellow Turban Army.

He has never told others that he has been hiding the deepest thing in his heart.

After gaining a foothold in the Taihang Mountains, he really just wanted to be a rich man and just talk about the rest of his life, just like Zhang Yan in the old days.

But along the way, the tragedies he saw in the world kept his heart tormented.

Obviously his life is unsatisfactory, but he prefers not to suffer in this world.

In the end, in the middle of the night, Xu An finally made up his mind and walked on this doomed thorny road without hesitation.

The horn for getting up had already sounded, and Xu An also walked down the camp wall.

His eyes became firm again.

The east and west courts stand side by side, the heroes of the Central Plains stand side by side, and countless aristocratic families cast their own pieces on the chessboard, which made him feel the pressure.

The land of the Central Plains occupies tens of millions of people, and the background of the aristocratic family is fully revealed, but the Yellow Turban Army is trapped in Bingzhou and cannot develop.

The burden on Xu An's shoulders was too heavy. He chose to take a new road, the most difficult road in this world, full of thorns.

The more you get to the back, the more difficult it is, Yan Zhong knows it very well.

When I first started my business, I had nothing to lose, and I was often able to move forward indomitably and win consecutive victories.

But after having a certain foundation, people will start to look forward and backward, and start to hesitate.

Xu An grasped the Yanling Saber at his waist, and lost control of the general situation of the world. Everything he knew before became unrecognizable, which made him feel out of control and panic.

But now Xu An has regained his confidence.

Behind him are 300 million believers of the Taiping Dao, those comrades who were helplessly left in the four states. They were still fighting in Taishan County when they were surrounded by enemies. They never gave up and were still fighting.

Whenever he was upset, Xu An would go to inspect the barracks.

Xu An leads Taiping Road, and Taiping Road also supports Xu An.

All the way without saying a word, Xu An's gaze had completely become firm when he walked to the tent of the Chinese army, and there was no longer any hesitation on his body.

"Welcome to the great virtuous teacher!"

All the Tengxiang guards outside the tent of the Chinese army bowed their heads in salute.

The curtain of the Chinese army tent was pulled open, Yan Zhong, Lu Bu and other generals were already waiting for Xu An's arrival in the Chinese army tent.

The gust of wind howled past, rolled up thousands of khaki-colored banners, and also rolled up the Zheng robe on Xu An's body.

The gust of wind swept away to the south, and above the southern wilderness, there were countless military flags as black as ink! !

Chapter 559 Three-way March

The results of the attack on Liangzhou were even greater than Xu An's original plan.

The Wang family of Beidi gathered the tyrants of Beidi County, contacted the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Qiang tribes in Beidi County, and easily occupied Fuping City, the seat of Beidi County.

Liangzhou's terrain is complex, and the best way to enter Liangzhou, the most gentle area, is undoubtedly to march along the Yellow River.

November [-]st.

Yan Zhong led the enlisted Bingzhou Yicong and Shanggu Yicong, that is, Xiongnu soldiers and Wuhuan soldiers, a total of 3000 people, set off from Linrong in Shuofang County, and headed south along the course of the Yellow River.

The Xianbei tribe along the road was also ordered to join the Yellow Turban Army, and 8000 strong and brave people were selected and divided into three battalions as pioneers.

As a result, Yan Zhong's military strength has expanded to more than 1000 people. The Xianbei tribes have already stored food for the winter, so naturally they don't need to consume the military food prepared by the Yellow Turban Army themselves, and Yan Zhong can also take part of the food and grass as military food.

After Xu An captured the western Xianbei royal court, he divided his troops into three groups.

One was led by Yan Rou, with more than [-] Wuhuan cavalry and [-] slave soldiers stationed in the western Xianbei royal court for logistics, guarding against possible counterattacks by the northern Xianbei tribes, and monitoring the prisoners in the royal court.

The other division was led by Xu Huang, with [-] cavalry from Xianbei and more than [-] cavalry from the Wuxiang camp, totaling [-] cavalry, marching westward to Wuwei County.

And Xu An led the two battalions of Wuxiang and Bingzhou, as well as Tengxiang Guards, a total of more than 2000 people, and Xianbei cavalry with [-] people, marching from the Wangting position of Xianbei in the west to Beidi County in the southeast.

According to the predetermined plan, Xu An went all the way south to approach the Yellow River, Yan Zhong marched south from Linrong along the river, and the two armies finally met successfully in Lingwu Valley, the northern border of Beidi County.

After the two armies joined forces, Yan Zhong led the cavalry army under his command to go first, and Xu An led the main cavalry army to stay behind.

At this time, the Wang family of Beidi also successfully controlled the four northern cities of Beidi County. Although there were some minor disturbances, with the cooperation of the Eagle Wolf Guard, the Wang family successfully controlled the northern part of Beidi County.

However, unlike the Wuwei Jia family who did it easily, the Liangzhou Wang family paid a heavy price.

Han Sui stayed in Beidi County with about [-] cavalry, and Wang Xin served as the captain.

Wang Xin is the eldest son of Wang Ye, the owner of the Liangzhou Wang family, and the future ruler of the Liangzhou Wang family, and also the elder brother of Wang Yi.

During the spring search, it was Xu An who was contacted by Wang Xin, who entrusted Xu An with the entire plan of the Wang family in Liangzhou.

However, Han Sui didn't put all his eggs in one basket. Wang Xin led two thousand horses alone, and the two deputy commanders each led one thousand horses.

The other two deputy captains were both Han Sui's cronies, and when Wang Xin dealt with them, one of them noticed that the atmosphere was not right.

Although Wang Xin made a decisive decision and chose to do it, it still stirred up a lot of trouble, and the trilogy under the Wang family of Liangzhou also suffered a lot.

However, after the death of those Han Sui's cronies, not many people spoke against him, and the rest surrendered.

The Liangzhou Wangs have lived in the Northland for a long time, and their methods are no worse than Han Sui's, and they are very good at winning people's hearts. This is why they dare to promise Xu An that it will be no problem to take down Beidi County.

In just a few days, Lianxian, Lingzhou, Dingxi, and Fuping, the four cities of Beidi County built on the Yellow River, were all under the control of the Wang family of Liangzhou. The Wang family of Liangzhou also hoarded a large amount of military rations for The use of the Yellow Turbans.

Xu An led the Yellow Turban Army all the way south, passing Beidi County all the way, without encountering any resistance at all.

Beidi County is divided into two parts, the north and the south, separated by mountains, rivers and hills, with only six cities.

Among them, there are four cities in the north, while there are only two cities in the south. The north and the south are separated. The north belongs to Han Sui and the south belongs to Ma Teng.

The northern city of Beidi County is the nearest city named Sanshui, which is located in the north of Anding County. It is more than two hundred miles away from Fuping in Beidi County. Now Beidi County is completely under the control of Xu An among.

If you want to enter Beidi County from Liangzhou, you can only start from Anding County, follow the direct current all the way north, and enter the main channel of the Yellow River.

In other words, whoever occupies Fuping will control the entire northern part of Beidi County. Fuping is the main throat entering Liangzhou from the north.

For the hidden guards under Han Sui, the Ying Guards stationed in Liangzhou also had certain precautions. In order to prevent the transmission of news, the Wang family of Liangzhou and the Ying Guards conspired to set up roadblocks and secret sentries on various traffic arteries and small roads.

Sure enough, some Liangzhou secret guards who wanted to convey the news of the fall of Beidi County were intercepted.

The Wang family of Liangzhou gathered the generals under Han Sui's command, and recruited more than a thousand soldiers, plus more than 3000 Qianghu cavalry. Instead of waiting for Xu An, they went directly to Sanshui, the only city in the north of Anding County. and go.

After Xu An led the army to Fuping, the army was still resting, replenishing food and grass, and repairing the military equipment.

News came from Anding County that Sanshui City was tricked into opening the gate by Wang Xin, and Wang Xin had already gained control of Sanshui City.

And at this time, only a month had passed.

early december.

Good news came successively from Wuwei County and the southern part of Beidi County.

Is the whole county of Wuwei almost under the control of the Wuwei Jia family? Of the twelve cities of Wuwei, nine cities in the north have been taken down, leaving only the southernmost ones near the Yellow River's channel of the Fen[zhān] Niao, Lao[ǎo] Wai, and the three cities of Zuli However, these three cities are still under Han Sui's control because they are far away.

Then the Wuwei Jia family summoned four thousand horses from the Qiang Hu army and two thousand private soldiers. The three thousand horses originally under Han Sui's command were also annexed by the Wuwei Jia family, and they got a total of nine thousand horses.

Xianbei in the west was destroyed, and Jia Gong, the patriarch of the Jia family in Wuwei, only left a small number of soldiers to maintain order in several cities.

Now that worries about the future have been eliminated, a large number of troops can be placed on the front line.

So Jia Gong ordered Jia Cai to lead [-] riders to help Xu Huang, and listen to his driving under his tent.

Xu Huang's army has arrived in Zhangye, and the addition of Wuwei Jia's trilogy has also made Xu Huang's army successfully exceed [-] cavalry.

At this time, the military strength under Xu Huang's command has far exceeded the military strength of Jincheng County, which is still under Han Sui's control.

The Yellow Turbans attacked on two fronts, and successfully caught Han Sui and Ma Teng by surprise.

Han Sui was under the enemy for a while. Hearing the rebellion of Wuwei Jia's and Beidi Wang's two great families, he didn't slow down and almost fainted in the tent.

The bad news was far more than the news from Wuwei and Anding counties. Not long after the news that the northern part of Beidi County was occupied by the Yellow Turban Army came out, another news reached Ma Teng's ears.

The trail they controlled from Shangjun to Beidi County was breached at night. Before Ma Teng's trilogy in the southern part of Beidi County could react, Zhang Yang was already leading the Yellow Turban Army's infantry marching towards the city.

In less than ten days, the two cities of Niyang and Yi[yì]ju in the southern part of Beidi County were breached.

Under the attack of the powerful counterweight trebuchets of the Yellow Turban Army, the rammed earth walls of the city were easily broken like tofu.

In the Battle of Shuofang in the past, the [-] Hun cavalry fought desperately, but they did not break down the Yellow Turban infantry formation. How could the Qiang-Han coalition forces under Ma Teng's command, which were only a few thousand strong, make any contribution?

In the end, Ma Teng had to abandon the city and fled in a hurry.

After a brief rest, Zhang Yan led the army to continue to attack westward, advancing towards Linjing, the seat of Anding County.

Chapter 5 Sixty: The First City of Gaoping

December [-]nd.

After receiving the news from Wang Xin, Xu An did not delay, and immediately raised his army to the south, and continued southward all the way, heading towards the predetermined battlefield - Gaoping City in the south of Anding County.

Originally, Xu An chose to fight against Han Sui and Ma Teng outside Gaoping City.

But people are not as good as heaven. When Xu An led the army all the way to Gaoping, it didn't take long for Han Sui and Ma Teng to react.

Although the two had an agreement before, saying that if Xu An led the Yellow Turban Army to invade, the two families would strike out unanimously, but when the juncture really came, the two sides had already fought a real fire, so how could it be so easy to join forces in one place.

When the two finally reached a consensus and wanted to return to the teacher, they were already one step behind.

The main cavalry army under the command of the two is still in Hanyang County, and it is still more than ten days away from Gaoping City.

Gaoping, also known as "the first city"

"Continued Hanshu · County and Country Chronicles" Anding County: "Gaoping has the first city."

Sanshui City is located in the north of Anding County. Although it is the only city in the north of Anding County, it is not impossible to bypass Sanshui City.

Gaoping City is completely different from its Sanshui City in terms of importance and geographical location.

In the third year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (114 BC), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set up Anding County and built Gaoping City in order to strengthen the military defense of the northwest frontier.

The Gaoping city site is located on the west bank of the upper reaches of the Gaoping River.

During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Gaoping River was wide enough for boats.

The terrain along the Gaopingchuan River is open and flat, with thousands of miles of fertile fields and abundant grain and crops.

Moreover, the geographical location is extremely important. In the south of Gaoping City, Lushan Gorge (Sanguankou to Wating) is connected to the capital, and through the gorge and along the Jinghe River, it can lead directly to Chang'an.
