The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 6 and five

"Now the disputes in the Central Plains are all tied to the two emperors of the East and the West. Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo are mutual aids. They respect Liu Bian. Sun Jian and Yuan Shu walk hand in hand and respect Liu Xie. The two emperors compete for the throne. It is an endless situation. .”

"Yuan Shao has now defeated Gongsun Zan, conquered the five prefectures of Youzhou, three prefectures of Wuhuan have surrendered, the power has shocked Jiyou, crossed prefectures and prefectures, and has tens of thousands of men in armor."

Jia Xu frowned and said in a deep voice.

"Sun Jian's Yanshi defeated the army and entered Luo, and Dong Zhuo fully retracted his defense. I am afraid that he will not dare to go out of Hangu Pass in the short term. The dilemma in the west has been resolved."

"Yangzhou's bandit army has been defeated in a row, and the Eastern Army is sharp. Yangzhou will be pacified within a year, and the threat from the south is not enough."

Jia Xu walked slowly to the right, pointed to Xuzhou's location and continued.

"Zang Ba was in chaos in the north of Xuzhou, but he stopped in Donghai County. Although Tao Qian didn't know about military affairs, Xuzhou was very rich and had a large population. All powerful families had private soldiers, so it was difficult for Zang Ba to go south."

"As for Yanzhou, Chen Qun was seriously injured and stepped down as the governor of Yanzhou. The soldiers of Yanzhou were taken over by Cao Cao with full authority and stationed at the border to stop the defeat and block the route of Lu Sheng's army."

Jia Xu's hand moved slightly to the left, pointing in the direction of Yanzhou.

"The danger on the east side is temporarily gone."

"The east court is surrounded by east, west, north, south, and all threats are eliminated."

"Sun Jian's next strategy is not difficult to guess."

Xu An narrowed his eyes and looked at Kan Yutu, he knew what Jia Xu was talking about.

Yuan Shao tidied up Youzhou and resolved the threat from the northern border, so his eyes would inevitably shift accordingly.

Gongsundu and Taiping Dao will not be Yuan Shao's next target, and it is not a wise choice to attack either of these two forces.

Gongsun Du's strength is still strong, and it is not difficult to defeat, but it is completely unnecessary.

Gongsun Du is located in the borderland, where the border is bitter and cold, it is tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to discard it.

Fuyu, Goguryeo and other ministries are all in the land of Liaodong. When Gongsundu is defeated, most of them will not be able to catch Gongsundu. Once Gongsundu escapes into these two places, I am afraid that they will fall into another meaningless war.

Yuan Shao wasn't worried about losing the battle, but the loss outweighed the gain. There was no need to fight Fuyu, Goguryeo, and Gongsundu for that little place in Liaodong.

Taipingdao and Yuan Shao are even less provocative. Although Taipingdao is the most threatening, Xu An has not revealed too much hostility. The previous occupation of Zhongshan and other places was basically done when Han Fu was in power.

And in a sense, they are still allies now, but everyone tacitly knows that this relationship is a dead letter, or a dead letter that has not been put on the table.

Yuan Shao's next goal must be Yanzhou in the south, there is no doubt about it.

At the beginning, Sun Jian took advantage of the battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan, and rushed to the East County of Yanzhou. In the first battle, he went down to Puyang City, defeated Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, and shook the Central Plains.

Although Qingzhou is now captured by Gongsundu taking advantage of the chaos in Donglai County, his son Yuan Tan is in control of Qingzhou. Together with Zang Ba, who is an alliance in name, most places are still firmly in control.

What Yuan Shao has to do now is to go south and cross the Yellow River to capture Yanzhou.

Once Yanzhou is captured, the center of the Chen Du court will be exposed to Yuan Shao's troops.

And the threats from the east, west and south of the Chen Du court have been lifted, leaving only the north side.

A big battle enough to determine the direction of the whole world is already ready to go. No matter how magnificent words are used, it is difficult to fully describe the importance of this big battle.

Jia Xu raised his hand and pointed to the center of the map,

"East County will become the main battlefield where the eastern and western armies are fighting. This battle, no accident, will be a protracted and far-reaching decisive battle."

Xu An's face was serious.

In the original time and space, there were three great battles that determined the general situation of the world in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

These three battles are the Battle of Guandu, the Battle of Chibi, and the Battle of Yiling.

These three battles are all related to fire.

In the Battle of Guandu, a fire ignited in Wuchao, burning out Yuan Shao's [-] troops, making Cao Cao replace Yuan Shao and become the overlord of the north.

In a series of calculations, the Chibi was engulfed in flames, the masts and sculls were wiped out while talking and laughing, Cao Cao's army was defeated by Huarong Road, and the momentum of sweeping the world dissipated.

The fire in Yiling burned out Liu Bei's ambitions throughout his life, and his destiny was to abandon Han after all.

"Yuan Shao and Sun Jian have now eliminated all obstacles. Soon, the two sides will meet at the border between Chen Bing, Ji and Yan. This battle will determine who is the overlord of the Central Plains."

Jia Xu frowned and said in a low voice.

"Our army must not attack Hanoi County at this time. Once Hanoi is attacked, the fragile friendly relationship between our army and Yuan Shao will dissipate in an instant. At that time, Yuan Shao will definitely not dare to go south. He will mobilize troops from the two prefectures of Youji and Hebei. , targeting us, not Sun Jian."

"The situation in the Central Plains is so chaotic, our army really shouldn't get involved in the war in the Central Plains."

"So I think that when Sun Jian and Yuan Shao are fighting, our army should..."

When Jia Xu was speaking, there was a sudden pause, as if he suddenly thought of something, he suddenly turned his head to look at Xu You who was beside him, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Could it be..."

"good."

Xu You bowed slightly, stepped forward slowly, saluted indifferently, and then said loudly.

"Dong Zhuo's defeat in Luoyang, and being trapped in Guanzhong is nothing to fear. Yuan Shao and Sun Jian are fighting for the front in the Central Plains. There is no time for it to happen. I'm afraid there will be a war in Dongjun within a year."

"Two tigers eat cows, and they must fight for sweets. When they fight, the big one will be injured and the small one will die. If you stab them from the wound, you will have the name of two tigers!"

Xu You's eyes flickered, and his tone suddenly became sharp.

"In the battle of Yanshi, Sun Jian captured Luoyang, Xu Rong was defeated, and Zhou Ang, the governor of Yuzhou, retreated to Hanoi County. Zhou Ang's generals were no more than [-]. Although there seemed to be a large number of soldiers, why should weary soldiers be put in the teeth?"

"In the Central Plains War, perhaps some soldiers will be dispatched to support, and there will be fewer troops in Hanoi County."

Xu You pointed to Hedong County and Shangdang County.

"Taihang Eight Xing, our army accounts for seven out of eight, and only Zhiguan Xing, together with Hedong County and Hanoi County, is still under the control of the Jizhou Army, and it will be time to regain it."

"Duke Ming can secretly arrange the elite troops in Shangdang and Hedong counties in advance."

"Eagle Guard has a deep influence in Jizhou, and he can be ordered to monitor the battlefield situation. Once the victory or defeat is decided, our army will quickly attack and capture Hanoi County in one fell swoop."

Xu You's eyes brightened and he smiled.

"The land of Hanoi is rich in products, has a large population, and has thousands of miles of fertile land. It can be regarded as a foundation. It seems to be in the place of the Fourth World War. However, the east of the river in the west and the party in the north are all controlled by our army. Luoyang in the south has a small The Pingjin and Mengjin passes are thought to be dangerous, and we only need to beware of the enemy in the east."

Chapter 6 and six

"If Yuan Shao is defeated, our army can take advantage of Yuan Shao's army's confusion and easily attack Hanoi. At that time, even if our army is like this, Yuan Shao will not dare to fight with our army. the benefits of."

Jia Xu looked directly at Xu You, his eyes flashed, and he continued following Xu You's words.

"And if Sun Jian is defeated, our army can still occupy Hanoi. At that time, we will directly tear ourselves apart. With our army to contain Yuan Shao, the pressure on the Eastern Army after the defeat will be reduced, thus buying us more time. develop."

"Whether Yuan Shao or Sun Jian is defeated, after our army occupies Hanoi County, we can pass Xiaopingjin and Mengjin passes, go south to Luoyang, and rely on catapults to quickly capture the eight passes of Luoyang and occupy Luoyang."

"Occupy Hanoi, you can look at Henan."

Jia Xu pointed to the land in Guanzhong, his eyes were bright, and he said in a deep voice.

"Yuan Shao and Sun Jian are both powerful. Even a big battle cannot completely defeat them. Even if they win, it may take two or three years to completely subdue each other."

"And this time..."

Jia Xu and Xu You set their sights on Guanzhong almost at the same time.

Xu An's mind moved slightly. He has been in battle for a long time, and he has also deduced many times with Yan Zhong. From the conversation between Xu You and Jia Xu, he also heard the general meaning, and he also knew this. The horror of Fanglue.

After occupying Luoyang, Dong Zhuo was trapped to death in Guanzhong.

The east, west, and north were surrounded by the Yellow Turban Army, and even the east had to face the invasion of Henan Yin and Hedong County at different locations at the same time.

To the south is Hanzhong, occupied by Zhang Lu, and the land of Guanzhong leads to Hanzhong. The narrow path is really one man guarding the pass, and there is no way for ten thousand men to open it. The Xiliang army is already weak in attacking the city, and the hope of capturing Hanzhong is slim.

And even if Hanzhong was conquered, since Xu An occupied Liangzhou, Dong Zhuo, the great dragon, had been trapped to death in Guanzhong.

In the past, Qin Wangzheng did rely on the land of Guanzhong to sweep Liuhe and annex the eight wildernesses, which is an unprecedented achievement.

But at that time in the north of Qin State, there was no such terrifying force as Taipingdao.

At that time, the Qin State could fight against the six countries with their own ghosts with all their strength after they had no worries about future troubles.

"Advance in four directions..."

Xu An pondered slightly, a plan soon emerged in his mind.

The map of Guanzhong land in front of him slowly materialized in front of his eyes.

Occupying Henan Yin and Hanoi counties, the only line of communication between Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo will also be cut off by it.

Whether it is Yuan Shao or Sun Jian's defeat, this is the best choice.

The land of Guanzhong is the real king's career.

When it was built in the early Western Han Dynasty in the past, Liu Jing advised Liu Bang: "We must use Guanzhong as the capital."

Liu Bang had doubts about this, and most of the important ministers on the left and right were from the Kanto region, and most of them persuaded Liu Bang to make Luoyang his capital.

At this time Liu Hou Zhang Liang's words made Liu Bang finally order the capital Chang'an.

"In the middle of the Guanzhong, there is a confusion of letters on the left, and Longshu on the right. There are thousands of miles of fertile fields. In the south, there are the riches of Bashu, and in the north, the benefits of Huyuan. Block three sides and guard, and only use one side to control the princes in the east. The capital; the feudal lords have changed, and if they go down the river, they will be defeated. This is the so-called golden city thousands of miles, and the land of abundance."

The Guanzhong Plain was fertile and wild, and Xu An's breathing became slightly heavier. He occupied Guanzhong, occupied the entire Sili Colonel's Department, and included the most affluent and fertile area in the world today.

With the pass and river as barriers, he can develop calmly and prepare his troops to wait for the changes in the world.

There are many powerful families in Guanzhong, with wealth in the hundreds of millions. Although Guanzhong has been devastated several times, the population is still quite large. Now there are probably more than two million people under Dong Zhuo's rule.

After Dong Zhuo regained his strength, he didn't let the mess go to the end like the original time and space, and completely indulged.

The order in Guanzhong is fairly stable, so the population has not decreased too much.

And the most important thing is that the population of Guanzhong today is more than 200 million people on the surface, and the land occupied by many powerful families in Guanzhong is also incomparably large. account record.

To be honest, Xu An wouldn't be too surprised even if an additional 100 million people were found out.

After all, Taipingdao really found 10,000+ unrecorded population in Bingzhou Qing, and these people belong to the above-mentioned category

Now there are more than [-] million people under Xu An's rule, and it is still increasing.

Not only normal births, but also the people who fled from Han all the way to Bingzhou, Hedong County and other places controlled by the Yellow Turban Army.

Yingwei's propaganda in the Han area drove the poor people to leave their homes, from a land of despair to hope.

After Liu Yu's defeat, Gongsun Zan occupied Youzhou, and a large number of Youzhou people found the Yellow Turban Army and asked to take them in. Liu Shi finally resettled these people there, and the number of them reached more than [-].

If the more than 700 people in Guanzhong are added, the total population of the Yellow Turban Army will be about [-] million.

With a population of 700 million as their backing, the Yellow Turban Army will completely escape from the current extremely embarrassing situation.

Not only the population, occupying Guanzhong, the Yellow Turban Army will also have more war initiative.

Yizhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou will all be exposed to the front of the Yellow Turban Army.

"Dong Zhuo has an army of [-]. If civilians are recruited, there will probably be more. Yuan Shao and Sun Jian are fighting in the Central Plains. We don't need to consider their support and containment. Although our army has formed a siege network around Guanzhong, I am afraid that it will be unavoidable if we take it. into a bloody battle."

Xu An pondered for a moment, then frowned.

Although at that time there was no need to worry about the alliance and Yuan Shao's attack on them,

But Dong Zhuo, who is entrenched in Guanzhong, still has a lot of power.

"The people in Guanzhong are not united to Dong Zhuo. Could it be that Duke Ming has forgotten Wang Yun?"

Jia Xu smiled lightly and said.

"Wang Yun..."

Xu An pondered for a while, and immediately thought of the information sent by the Yingwei, and Wang Yun's plan in the original time and space, marrying Diao Chan to Lu Bu, and offering it to Dong Zhuo, which made the two jealous and at odds, and finally Dong Zhuo was assassinated by Lu Bu.

But now, Lv Bu has devoted himself to the way of peace and has not followed Dong Zhuo. The history has changed beyond recognition and cannot be viewed from the original perspective.

Now that Dong Zhuo has regained his strength and strength, Wang Yun has no way to operate as in the original time and space.

"I remember that he is now Situ, and Dong Zhuo trusts him very much."

However, when Jia Xu mentioned Wang Yun, I'm afraid he already had something on his mind.

Jia Xu's eyes flashed brightly, and he said in a solemn voice.

"I have a plan to cause chaos in Guanzhong."
