The World of Yellow Sky

The Eagle and Wolf Guards are divided into two guards, the Eagle Guards and the Wolf Guards. The Eagle Guards are outside and the Wolf Guards are inside.

There are guards of wolf guards all over the jurisdiction of Taipingdao. In the hearts of everyone, wolf guards are majestic, capable and decisive, loyal to guarding the way, and highly skilled.

However, Yingwei did not appear in most people's field of vision, even the officials, generals and schools in the army, prefectures and counties basically did not have much intersection with Yingwei.

Most of the places where they could see the Eagle Guard were either in the office of the Eagle Wolf Guard or in the intelligence office of the army.

The nature of the Eagle Guards already determines that the Eagle Guards will not be as superficial as the Wolf Guards, and with the gradual accumulation of experience, the Eagle Guards have learned how to hide themselves and how to ensure their own safety. Therefore, Yingwei acted more secretly.

Ordinary wolf guards wear eagle wolf guards that represent their status, and the eagle guards basically don't wear eagle wolf uniforms except when they are in the office or when they perform some special official duties, and many people even wear eagle wolf uniforms. No clothes.

However, the residents of Jinyang City can still see the Tiqi of the Eagle Guard on the first day of every ten days.

That day was the day when Yingwei sent the sacrificed robes into Taiping Temple.

At that time, the envoys of the Yingwei Guards will definitely be there, and the Yingwei guards in the entire Jinyang Yinglangwei Office will come out of the office to see off their dead robes.

The victims of the Eagle Guard basically died in the outskirts or in the enemy-occupied areas, and even the corpses were hard to find.

There is a stone tablet in an area in the Taiping Temple, which is specially used to commemorate the victims of the Eagle Wolf Guard.

There is a huge box behind the stele, and what is placed in the box is not the incense money donated by devout men and women, but the nameplates of the dead Eagle Guards one after another.

The records on the nameplate are extremely simple, name, place of origin, position, and nothing else.

Li Cheng, Jizhou Julu, Deputy Qianhu.

Li Cheng held the letter paper in his hand, and he remembered the scene when the person from the experience department took the nameplate from him.

He had been lurking in Xianbei in the west for about a year, and was promoted from a hundred households officer to a deputy thousand households because of his meritorious service in obtaining information. However, he had not held his new nameplate for ten days, and a new task was sent to him. on hand.

Then he ate and slept all the way, mixed with the refugees and entered Guanzhong. With the help of the Eagle Guards in Chang'an City, he gained a firm foothold in Chang'an as a ranger.

There are carved beams and painted buildings in front of him, but Li Cheng's heart is in the Taiping Temple thousands of miles away.

There are many tall stone tablets in the Taiping Temple. The names of one person after another are engraved on each of the tall stone tablets. Those people are all Taiping Taoists who died. Some of them are soldiers, some are policemen, and some are eagles Wei's Tiqi.

These people all have a common identity, and those people are his comrades and like-minded people.

Just yesterday, he received a message from the Yingwei of Chang'an City, a secret order from Jinyang.

The lights flickered, and the letter from Jinyang bearing Xu An's seal turned into a mass of ashes.

"Wang Yun..."

Li Cheng calmed down and began to think about how to complete the task set for him in the letter.

Now the court situation in Guanzhong is not as peaceful as imagined.

Not long ago, in June of the second year of Chuping (191), there was an earthquake in Bingxu.

Rumors spread in Guanzhong, saying that the reason for the earthquake was not that the emperor lost his virtue, but that there was treachery in the court, so the heavens used this as a warning.

Dong Zhuo was furious, and immediately dispatched Xuan Tingwei to arrest those who spread rumors.

When Xuan Tingwei arrested the rumorer, Li Ru was inspecting Huayin City in Hongnong County.

By the time Li Ru rushed back, Xuan Tingwei had already arrested 170 people in Chang'an City, and it became a difficult situation.

In the end, although the rumors stopped spreading, the dissatisfaction with Dong Zhuo in the hearts of the people was even deeper.

This rumor was not released by the Eagle Wolf Guard. Li Cheng knew very well that there are mixed forces in Chang'an City today. Before they could spread the rumor, someone had already started to spread the rumor.

Now there are many new faces among the rangers in Chang'an City, including the ghosts under Yuan Shao's command, and the embroidered emissaries of Chen Du.

During this incident, Wang Yun cooperated very well and gained Dong Zhuo's trust again.

But Li Ru had a bad quarrel with Dong Zhuo because of this matter.

Li Cheng gently tapped the desk with his index finger.

In fact, he has already caught up with Wang Yun's line, and now his identity is Wang Yun's retainer, or a relatively close retainer, as a personal guard.

Li Cheng pretended to be a ranger in Jizhou. The ranger is currently being imprisoned in the six-door prison. He rarely makes friends. The reason why he is being imprisoned is because several of his friends were killed by the Eagle Guards. Killed, so the money came to revenge, and was captured and put in prison.

His identity happened to be replaced by Li Cheng. In the six-door prison, after being tortured, the ranger told all the things about himself like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube. He didn't come here at all Bloody bravery at the time of revenge.

When Li Cheng was sent to Chang'an, the instruction given by Yingwei was to get as close to Wang Yun as possible.

Relying on his outstanding martial arts and good conversation, Li Cheng stood out from the crowd, and because of his outstanding martial arts, Li Cheng also got the opportunity to accompany him.

The information above the Chang'an court has never been a secret, and Yingwei has also obtained a lot of useful information.

In the first year of Chuping (190), Sili Xiaowei Huang Wan, Shangshu Zheng Gongye and Wang Yun walked very close

Later Qiang school lieutenant Yang Zan received Wang Yunbao's power to envoy General Zuo. At the same time, Wang Yun also recommended Sun Rui, a Jinwu warrior, as Nanyang prefect.

It is worth mentioning that Wang Yun's recommendation of scholar Sun Rui seems to have aroused Dong Zhuo's suspicion. Dong Zhuo finally rejected Wang Yun's decision and left scholar Sun Rui in Chang'an.

You must know that after Dong Zhuo entered Meiwu, he handed over most of the political affairs to Wang Yun. When Wang Yun was most favored, he even acted as Dong Zhuo's agent in the court with full power. Dong Zhuo seldom withdrew the orders that Wang Yun had issued. After all, what Wang Yun did basically made Dong Zhuo comfortable.

As a result of this incident, Wang Yun re-drawn the list, selected scholar Sun Rui as servant, and promoted Yang Zan as minister.

In the second year of Chuping (191).

Dong Zhuo enfeoffed Wang Yun as Marquis of Wen, with five thousand households in the city, and he even paid more attention to Li Ru than Li Ru.

Li Cheng occasionally traveled with Wang Yun, and what he saw was basically the powerful officials in the court, combined with other information obtained by the Eagle Guards, he also knew something about what Wang Yun was doing.

"In planning and strategizing, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away..."

Li Cheng suddenly remembered a passage he had learned in Yinglangwei's literacy class. This sentence was quite in line with the current situation.

Chapters 6 and [-] are not allowed

In the second year of Chuping (190), September.

Jizhou, Yecheng government office.

Yuan Shao wore a purple crown on his head, a red satin embroidered deep suit, a jade belt across his waist, cloud shoes on his feet, and a purple long tassel ribbon. He stood in the hall with his hands behind his back.

The fair face is slightly weathered, the dragon eyebrows and phoenix eyes are sharp, the appearance is majestic, the long beard and straight beard are daunting.

Yuan Shao was born in the fourth generation and third son, he was already distinguished, he became famous when he was young, and later became the eighth captain of Xiyuan, he also saw bloody storms, and even killed many enemies.

Vibrating the soldiers of one county, gathering the people of Jizhou, powerfully shaking Heshuo, and becoming famous all over the world.Defeat Gongsun, shake Rong and Di, cross the north of the river, join the land of the four states, recruit the talents of heroes, and have millions of people. "

After escaping from Luoyang, he occupied the Bohai Sea first, and later led hundreds of thousands of allies in the Kwantung Allied Forces. Now he has pacified Qing and You, occupied Jizhou, commanded millions of people, and has the power of life and death in his hands. .

Ordinary people will feel fear in their hearts just by being looked at by Yuan Shao.

In the government office, a group of counselors and generals were listed on both sides, more than 30 people bowed their heads and listened to Yuan Shao's words.

Today's Yecheng has become the new state government of Jizhou. Gaoyi, the original state government, was abolished by Yuan Shao as a state government and replaced by Yecheng.

Yecheng is located in Wei County, which is the key area from Jizhou to other places.

From Yecheng to the east, through Cangtingjin and across the Yellow River, you can reach Yanzhou directly, and from Yanzhou you can march towards Qingzhou, Xuzhou and other places.

From Yecheng to the west, passing Fukouxing and crossing the Taihang Mountains, is Bingzhou controlled by Taiping Road.

From Yecheng to the north, passing through the original Julu County and other prefectures, the road can go directly to Jicheng, the seat of Youzhou.

From Yecheng to the south, passing through Liyang and crossing the Yellow River, there is an endless plain of eastern Henan, which can be driven into and threaten Yuzhou.

As for the safety issue, there is no need to worry too much. There are Yellow River moats on the east and south sides of Yecheng. As long as the defenses are set up in Liyang, Cangtingjin, Baima and other major locations, the attacks of the enemy forces on both sides can be prevented.

To the north of Yecheng, there are Zhang, Huan and other water systems flowing through, which are also two natural lines of defense against the enemy.

However, Fukouxing in the west of Yecheng is now occupied by the Yellow Turban Army, which is quite a threat.

But this is better than Gao Yi, because Gao Yi is around Jingxing.

Although Fukouxing is also a road, compared with Jingxing, Fukouxing can transport and accommodate far fewer soldiers than Jingxing, and it is relatively safer.

The surrounding area of ​​Yecheng is flat and belongs to the plain area, with roads extending in all directions. The Zhangshui and other water systems in Yecheng are interconnected with the Yellow River and other water systems. The water conservancy is convenient. Once Yecheng is besieged, the troops from other places will be able to quickly return to help.

Wei County, where Yecheng is located, is connected to Hanoi County, and can also control part of the situation in Hanoi County.

Hanoi County is very important to Yuan Shao. Only with Hanoi County can he have a channel to communicate with Dong Zhuo. Once Hanoi County is occupied by others and the roads are blocked, the transmission of information will be extremely troublesome, far from being as convenient as it is now .

For Yuan Shao, occupying the three prefectures of You, Ji and Qing is far from the time to stop.

The biggest reason for moving the government office to Yecheng is actually very simple. The northern border has been determined, so the next thing he has to do is to regain control of Yanzhou.

Capture Yanzhou, connect with Yanqing, and connect with Xuzhou.

Yuan Shao was very clear about Zang Ba's calculations. Although Zang Ba surrendered to him in name, he just didn't want to be restrained by the north when attacking the south of Xuzhou.

As for the Yellow Turbans in Taishan County, in Yuan Shao's eyes, these Yellow Turbans were not rebels or rebels, but manpower and soldiers that could be used as cannon fodder.

When he captures most of Yanzhou, Yuan Tan will go south, Zang Ba will go west, and attack the Yellow Turban Army in Taishan County from three sides. The tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Army will also be reduced to the manpower he can use.

There are more than [-] young and strong, and if the selected strong and strong can be trained into an army, it will be a great help.

As for the secret covenant with the Yellow Turban Army?

At that time, it would be good to insist that the Yellow Turban Army in Taishan County is a rebellious army and bandits. This will not put much psychological pressure on Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao also knows very well that he and Xu An will have a battle.

The fragile alliance that Xu An reached with him was only temporary, and it would not take long for it to fall apart.

The reason why Xu An still maintains such a fairly stable relationship with him now is that Tai Ping Dao is not too sure about defeating him.

Yuan Shao knew very well that once he weakened, once his weakness was exposed, Taipingdao would swarm him like a pack of wolves who found their prey on the grassland, tearing him apart and swallowing him skin and bone.

Of course, if Taipingdao showed signs of fatigue or allowed him to find a weakness, he would not hesitate to send troops westward to destroy Taipingdao.

Tian Feng and Ju Shou were sitting on the left and right chief respectively, and they were now Yuan Shao's most trusted confidantes.

Yuan Shao glanced at Tian Feng, nodded slightly, Tian Feng understood and stood up.

"Now that the two prefectures of Qing and You have been established, Gongsun Zan's being trapped in Yi County is nothing to fear. Although our army has defeated Gongsun, the people are exhausted. The army has been out for many years, the people are exhausted, and there is no storage. .”

"but……"

Tian Feng changed the topic.

"The current situation does not allow us to rest. Sun Jian defeated Xu Rong, and now Wang Shi has retreated to Guanzhong."

"Sun Jian is brave and fierce, and his troops are like fire. He is even more powerful than the Marquis of Qiantang in the past. The power of the Xiliang army is still unstoppable."

"Sun Jian left more than [-] soldiers in Luoyang, then withdrew from Luoyang and returned to Chendu. The turmoil in Yangzhou and the situation in Yanzhou have stabilized. Sun Jian is now replenishing troops near Chendu and planning the Northern Expedition. "

Tian Feng and Jushou didn't want to fight this battle, but now they have to fight this battle.

"Liu Biao, shepherd of Jingzhou, turned his back on the imperial court and supported Sun Jian. Now Sun Jian has [-] soldiers from Jingzhou, and his prestige is even greater. If it is short, it will be ten months, but if it is long, it will not be more than a year. I am afraid that he will go to the Northern Expedition."

In the government office, all the generals and schools held their breaths, they all knew that the battle that would determine their fate was coming.

If they win this battle, they will not only be entrenched in the northern border, and from then on the world will be at their mercy.

But if you lose, you will fall into the endless abyss and die.

……

In November of the second year of Chuping (191), a call to action was sent from Yecheng, Jizhou, and spread to the world.

"Gai Wenming's main plan is to control change in danger, and loyal officials worry that it will be difficult to establish power. Therefore, there are extraordinary people, and then there are extraordinary things, and there are extraordinary things, and then extraordinary achievements are made. The husband is extraordinary, so it is drawn by extraordinary people. also……"

"...Jian also pretended to be in control, and sent envoys to send troops, fearing that the remote states and counties would listen and give them, and the strong invaders and weak lords would disobey the masses and rebel, so as to use the name of mourning to make the world laugh, it is wise not to take it.

"Today, the three prefectures of Youqing and Hebei will advance side by side."

"The prefectures and counties rectify their troops and horses, collect their realms, raise their teachers to show off their prestige, and rejuvenate the country, which is a very great achievement."

"Whoever wins the head will be given the title of Marquis of 5000 households, and the reward will be [-] million yuan. Don't ask questions about those who are partial to the generals and school officials. Guangyi Enxin, Banyang Talisman Reward, announce to the world, and salty envoys know the holy pilgrimage There is difficulty in restraint. It is like a law!"

Chapter 6 and Nine

Yuzhou, Chendu.

In the main hall of the palace, Liu Xieduan sits at the head.

The proclamation from Jizhou has spread to Chendu and to the south.

All the ministers in the hall were filled with righteous indignation at this time, all because of that call-to-action.

Liu Chong's face was livid, his eyes were staring down at the ground, and he said nothing. If someone close to him saw Liu Chong's behavior, he would know that Liu Chong was trying his best to suppress his anger.

It's no wonder Liu Chong was so angry. In the letter, Chen Lin unabashedly mentioned an old incident that happened before.

It was a long time ago when he was persuaded by Wei Min to pray for longevity and to sacrifice to the gods, and he was arrested. A traitor and a fool with a rebellious heart.

He also mentioned that when Dong Zhuo occupied the capital, he was a king but recruited soldiers, and he called himself the General of the Han Dynasty, and his intention was to replace him.
