The World of Yellow Sky

But at this time, Yuan Shu's performance was beyond Sun Jian's expectation.

At the critical moment, Yuan Shu did not retreat, but commanded his personal guards to fight back.

The Xiliang cavalry dispersed the front line of the Nanyang soldiers, and the charge had already slowed down.

Yuan Shu commanded his personal guards to shoot with powerful crossbows, and the Xiliang cavalry's charge was hindered. For the personal guards under his command, Yuan Shu did not spare any money.

All the personal guards under his command are wearing heavy armor, carrying strong shields, and equipped with sharp halberds. They are all selected strong and brave men.

Even if the rest of the army collapsed, Yuan Shu's personal guards did not collapse.

Xiliang rode in front of Yuan Shu's army of guards and got hit with a bloody head.

Yuan Shu put on his helmet and smashed his armor, and went into battle with his long halberd to kill the enemy. Finally, he awakened the courage of the remaining Nanyang soldiers, and the battle situation was stabilized again.

But Sun Jian seized this fleeting opportunity and blocked Hua Xiong's way.

Hua Xiong was caught off guard and was beheaded by Sun Jian in the formation, and the Xiliang Cavalry collapsed as a result.

The Zhonglang general Zhang Ji who came to the rescue was captured alive by an unknown Han general on the way.

At that time Zhang Ji was surrounded by dozens of armored cavalry, but none of them could stop the Han general.

The general Nahan rushed into the formation, and immediately dragged Zhang Ji off his horse. Zhang Ji's personal guards and his subordinates were also scattered by the Yuzhou soldiers who came later.

In the blink of an eye, the offensive and defensive momentum has changed.

Fortunately, the leader of the Xiliang Army is Xu Rong.

Xu Rong made a decisive decision, the strong man broke his wrist, and immediately ordered to abandon Yanshi City, commanded the army to leave the battlefield, step by step, stopped the defeat, and finally led more than [-] remnant soldiers back to Luoyang City.

Chapter 6 and Two: The Situation is Severe

The news of Taishan Huangjin's victory in Yanzhou went around and around, and it was not passed to Liangzhou until May.

At that time, Xu An was dealing with the affairs of Liangzhou. Xu An glanced at the information and put it in the folder.

Taishan County is too far away from Bingzhou. The Jizhou now occupied is no longer the weak and constrained Han Empire in the past, but Yuan Shaoyuan, who is in power, ambitious, and strong.

Taishan County is really beyond reach.

With more energy than energy, Xu An can't do much. All he can give to the Taishan Yellow Turban Army is a letter and a letter of commission.

The letter was very long. Xu An integrated the information reported by the Eagle Wolf Guards from all over the country, and wrote a detailed analysis of the situation around Mount Tai County, as well as some suggestions for the future development of the Yellow Turban of Mount Tai.

The letter of appointment is to appoint Lu Sheng as the commander-in-chief of Taiping Road in Yanzhou, and he is named General Huaiyuan to command the Yellow Turban of Mount Tai.

To be honest, although the Taishan Yellow Turban Army seems to be powerful now, it is actually only because the Chendu court is now surrounded by enemies that it can take advantage of the fire.

Zang Ba was opportunistic, saw Tao Qian's weakness, and separatist the northern border of Xuzhou, and linked up with the Taishan Yellow Turban, and the Taishan Yellow Turban gained the upper hand.

It's just that once the court of Chendu reacts, the Yellow Turban of Mount Tai will undoubtedly be defeated.

And if Yuan Shao solved Gongsun Zan first, he would definitely choose to go south. Once Yuan Shao occupied Yanzhou, he would not allow the Taishan Yellow Turban Army to still occupy Taishan.

How can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch.

In the original time and space, the millions of Yellow Turbans raised in the four states were all torn apart, defeated and destroyed, and the Taishan Yellow Turban Army was only 20 million at full strength.

To be honest, the Taishan Yellow Turban is like a chess piece that has been trapped on the chessboard.

Although he achieved a small partial victory and took part of the opponent's chess pieces, he was already surrounded by all sides, and losing was only a matter of time.

It's cruel, but also helpless.

Xu An asked himself even if he put himself in Lu Sheng's position, he probably didn't make a living in Taishan County surrounded by powerful enemies.

Just a few days ago, the news of Sun Jian's victory in Yanshi also spread to Bingzhou.

The initiative was once again in the hands of Sun Jian, and with repeated casualties, Dong Zhuo might be unable to fight again for a short time, and Luoyang would not be able to defend.

Xu An looked at the map on the desk with a solemn expression.

Sun Jian's victory disrupted his original plan.

Originally, Xu An thought that Dong Zhuo could confront Sun Jian for a long time, but the result was not satisfactory.

Xu Rong, who once defeated Sun Jian, did not repeat the previous battle this time, but defeated Yanshi. Two generals under Dong Zhuo's command were captured one by one, Hua Xiong died in battle, and Zhang Ji was captured alive.

The Han general who captured Zhang Ji alive was a very familiar person Xu An once saw in the book——Xu Chu.

Moreover, Xu An was also sure that the person who captured Zhang Ji alive was none other than Xu Chu, who was so powerful in Huairu in history and was worshiped as the Marquis of the Tiger, and not someone with the same name and surname.

Everything has been messed up, and Cao Cao is still just a sheriff of Jiyin County.

Xu Chu did not take refuge in Cao Cao. Sun Jian heard of Xu Chu's reputation and sent envoys to Qiao County to conquer Xu Chu.

When the Yellow Turban Army in the four prefectures came back, Xu Chu gathered thousands of strong men and clans into Wubao to resist the attack of the Yellow Turban Army.

Xu Chu dragged the oxtail backwards with one hand, and walked more than a hundred steps.

The Yellow Turban soldiers were all frightened, so they did not dare to take the cattle and leave.

From Huai, Ru, Chen, and Liang, they all feared Xu Chu's death when they heard about it.

Now in the court of Chen Du, there are Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu and others under the curtain of Chen Wang Liu Chong as advisers, and Sun Jian now has Xu Chu.

It can be seen that in the original time and space, those famous generals and advisers will gradually come out of the backstage and come to the front of the stage.

The Eagle Wolf Guard is the strongest in Jizhou. Although Yuan Shao's establishment of the evil has caused some obstacles to the Eagle Wolf Guard, most of the news in Jizhou is not a secret to Xu An.

Jieqiao, Longcou, Pingyuan, Jumashui, and Baoqiu are five battles that determine the general trend of the north. Although it seems that Qu Yi, Gao Lan and others have contributed a lot, in fact, the reason for their victory is also inseparable from A counselor in Yuan Shao's curtain.

Tian Feng and Jushou were the main candidates to formulate the strategy, and almost all the plans to attack Youzhou came from Tian Feng and Jushou.

The reason why the Eagle Wolf Guard could know the inside story was not because there were spies from Yuan Shaojun's senior management, but because after successive victories, Tian Feng and Ju Shou received the most rewards, and their status rose all the way.

Yuan Shao was awarded the title of Supervising Army and General Fenwei, and Tian Feng was already the highest official below Yuan Shao, so Yuan Shao only rewarded Tian Feng with a lot of land, houses and money.

The Eagle Wolf Guard also received some information about Yangzhou, but it was just a rumor heard by Chen Duzhong.

Sun Jing led two thousand elite soldiers to Yangzhou to train the new army.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu also joined Sun Jing's team. After hearing about Sun Jing's arrival, most of the powerful families abandoned Yan Baihu and switched to Sun Jing again.

Sun Jing practiced and won in Yangzhou, and Sun Ce also showed his prowess in the battle of Yangzhou. Several generals and schools under Yan Baihu's command were defeated by Sun Ce, and some were even captured by Sun Ce.

Although Sun Ce was young, he was extremely brave, and there was no one in Yan Baihu's army who could stand up to him.

Even Yan Baihu's army retreated when they heard of Sun Ce's name, so the army called Sun Ce "little overlord".

Overlord is Xiang Yu's nickname. Xiang Yu is powerful and invincible. The word "Little Overlord" is tantamount to comparing Sun Ce to Xiang Yu. The name "Little" is because Sun Ce is too young, only 17 years old.

Qingzhou is also in chaos now. After Yuan Tan took over Qingzhou Biejia, he emptied Jiaohe. He was advancing all the way, but Tian Kai was double-teamed, his army was defeated, and he himself died in a fierce battle.

Just when Yuan Tan was about to go all out and defeat the last resistance force in Qingzhou-Liu Bei.

But a sudden change disrupted all of Yuan Tan's rhythms.

Gongsun Du, who was entrenched in Liaodong, suddenly dispatched a large number of sea ships, starting from Liaodong County, first occupied a port in Donglai, and then took advantage of the Qingzhou soldiers fighting with Liu Bei to suppress the local rebellion. More than half of Donglai County.

The trilogy under Gongsun Du's command is brave and good at fighting, occupying Donglai, relying on the strong city and favorable terrain to really fortify, Qingzhou soldiers have no way to quickly regain Donglai.

Yuan Tan did not expect that there would be enemies coming from the sea at all. At first, there were not many soldiers left in Donglai County. Yuan Tan mobilized most of the generals to the east of Qingzhou.

Qingzhou's navy is not the opponent of Gongsundu's navy at all. In less than ten months, only the navy under Gongsundu's command is left in the entire sea area. has sunk into the depths of the sea.

Chapter 6 and Three Breaking Points

"Donglai..."

Xu An's eyes narrowed slightly. If he remembered correctly, Donglai County is not far from Taishan County, and there seems to be only a Beihai country between them.

Soon Xu An found a map of counties and states in the Qingzhou area from the pile of maps.

His memory is not wrong, the Donglai County that Gongsun Du now occupies is not far from Taishan County.

"Zhao Le!"

Xu An stood up, with bright eyes, and shouted loudly to the outside of the house.

Outside the house, the sound of slightly flustered footsteps soon sounded.

The wooden door was opened, Zhao Le supported the hat on his head, walked into the house in a panic and asked.

"Minggong, what are your orders?"

"Where is the document that the envoy sent to contact Gongsundu reported back, take me to find it."

Xu An strode out of the house, Zhao Le heard Xu An's order, and trotted forward to lead the way for Xu An.

Although he didn't know why Xu An was so anxious to read the previous documents from the Department of Foreign Affairs, he had a habit that no matter what Xu An said, he only answered and never asked questions.

Flipping through the archives of the Department of Foreign Affairs, Xu An's frown slowly relaxed.

Gongsundu is the breaking point!

Gongsun Du did not directly reject the envoy sent by Xu An, on the contrary, he was more polite, and the conversation between the two parties was more pleasant, it can be said that the host and guest had a good time.

Xu An also found a map of Liaodong. The map of Liaodong drawn by Yingwei was quite detailed, and it roughly marked Gongsundu's territory.

Gongsun Du now occupies Liaodong County, Liaodong Dependent Country, Lelang County, and Xuantu County, conquering Goguryeo in the east, Karasuma in the west, and conquering Puyu.

In Liaodong, the strong do not bully the weak, the masses do not overpower the few, and merchants do not hesitate to sell. People from the Central Plains fled far and wide to take refuge in Liaodong due to the war.

This Gongsun Du is not small in ambition, but also courageous.

Yuan Shao now besieged Gongsun Zan in Yi County, and Gongsun Du also took advantage of the chaos to bring all the northern part of Liaoxi County under his rule.

However, Gongsun Du also had self-knowledge, he knew that the military power under his command was far inferior to Yuan Shao, so he did not continue to go south, but instead took the sea to capture Donglai.

"King of Liaodong..."

Xu An's eyes flickered, and he pondered for a while.

Gongsun Du is a character, not like Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, who rashly wants to call himself emperor, but he is probably a master who does not see rabbits and does not scatter eagles.

"Remove Tian Zhong from the Taihang Workshop and send him to Liaodong. If this matter can be done well, the position of the Foreign Affairs Department will be his."

Xu An turned his head to think about Zhao Le who was beside him and said in a deep voice.

"Also, to mobilize a group of Eagle Guards, they must be elite. Once we reach an agreement with Gongsun Du, we will send them to Liaodong, and then ask Gongsun Du to send them to Donglai."

The land traffic is now cut off, and it is becoming more and more difficult to install Eagle Guards in the four states. The only feasible way is to go by sea, and it just so happens that Gongsun Du's current navy is the best in the north. .

The lack of intelligence and the long distance made it difficult for Xu An to establish contact with the Taishan Yellow Turban Army and help him out of his current predicament.

Expanding the power of the intelligence departments of the four states is an imminent task for today's Taipingdao.

The Taishan Yellow Turban matter has been mostly resolved. According to Lu Sheng's reply, he has reached an agreement with Zang Ba, and the two sides will help each other in offense and defense.

Zang Ba needs the Taishan Yellow Turban Army to stop the western enemies for him, so that he can free up his hands and attack the central and southern areas of Xuzhou with peace of mind.

As for the matter in Youzhou, Xu An was also helpless.

Gongsun Zan still followed the old path and started his bad career.

If it is said that there are ranks in bad performances, and Dong Zhuo is the master of bad performances, then Gongsun Zan should be the strongest king of bad performances.

Dong Zhuo occupied the land in Guanzhong, established Heiwu, and indulged in sensuality, but he didn't completely ignore the affairs of the court. The military power was still firmly in his hands, and the power of the government was also in his hands.

But Gongsun Zan's performance was really outrageous.

Gongsun Zan gave up almost all the territory in Youzhou, led all the remaining soldiers under his command, and entered Yi County.

It is worth mentioning that Yi County is not in Youzhou, but in the northernmost part of Hejian Kingdom in Jizhou. In other words, Yuan Shao has completely occupied the territory ruled by Gongsun Zan and completed a rough unification.

Gongsun Zan built "Jing" in Yi County as a defense, and Yi County was also called "Yi Jing" in the north.

The meaning of "Jing" refers to the tall and large mounds piled up with soil.

Gongsun Zan dug more than ten heavy trenches near the Yi River, and piled up mounds as high as five or six feet in the trenches, and built camps on the mounds.

The mound in the center of the trench was the tallest, reaching more than ten feet. Gongsun Zan lived in it. He used iron as a gate and barred the left and right sides, so that men over seven years old were not allowed to enter. They only lived in it with their wives and concubines.

Gongsun Zan also let the women learn to speak loudly, so that the voice can be transmitted hundreds of steps, which is used to convey orders.

Gongsun Zan was alienated from the guests again, so that he didn't have a single confidant by his side, and the advisers and generals gradually became alienated.

"I used to drive the barbarians in the frontier, and at this time, it was said that the world's command and control can be determined. As for today, the military revolution has just begun. Seeing that this is not my decision, it is better to stop farming and save the evil years. The art of war does not attack a hundred buildings. .Today, our barracks are thousands of miles away, and we have accumulated 300 million dendrobiums of grain. This is enough to wait for the changes in the world.”

That said, but in fact Gongsun Zan has completely lost his ambition to fight for world hegemony.

In fact, Gongsun Zan lost so quickly, Xu An should bear a lot of responsibility.
