The World of Yellow Sky

The Wuwei Army is led by Gao Lan himself, with a total of 6000 people, and is now guarding Liyang with Gao Lan.

In addition to the Wuwei Army, there are also Ju Yi's [-] first boarding battalion and the carefully trained [-] strong crossbow battalion.

The [-] soldiers under Ju Yi's command entered the camp first, and they were all selected Jianyong, as well as the soldiers of the family, and they were very brave.

In the Battle of Jieqiao, Gongsun Zan's Baima Yicong, who was famous in northern Xinjiang, was almost wiped out by his entire army, and he also achieved the prestige of Xiandengying and Ju Yi.

Now Ju Yi's official position is rising all the way, and Gao Lan is already a titled general.

The official positions of Yuan Shao's generals are quite normal now, and they don't have many generals like the Yellow Turban Army. Ju Yi and Gao Lan's current military positions are the highest in Jizhou.

However, apart from these three powerful armies, the quality of Yuan Shao's other trilogy is mixed.

There are about [-] people in this part, and its composition is also very complicated.

Part of it is the trilogy under the command of the former Jizhou Mu Hanfu, as well as the prefecture soldiers of Youzhou. Gongsun Zan's defeat was too sudden, and the foundation of Youzhou was basically preserved without being smashed.

This part of the trilogy has stronger combat power. They followed Yuan Shao and Liu Yu to fight in the north and south, and they were quite well equipped.

The other part is to recruit private soldiers and family soldiers from aristocratic families into the army, as well as local bravery and newly recruited soldiers from all over the country.

Although this part of the soldiers has been baptized in several wars, these soldiers have seen blood, felt the cruelty of war, received training for a period of time, and possessed basic military qualities, but that's all , It can only be said that it is stronger than the Jizhou County soldiers in the period of Qiling Emperor, but not much.

However, being able to gather more than [-] field fighters at one time is enough to show Yuan Shao's strength.

Yuan Shao's [-] troops are completely different from the nearly [-] Yellow Turbans that Xu An had when he was in Hedong County and Shangdang County.

The reason why Xu An had an army of more than [-] at the time was that almost all the people were soldiers, with uneven quality and poor armor.

Moreover, the huge army barely survived by plundering the counties and the food stored by the thieves in the mountains. Later, it had to disarm the army, streamline the administration, increase income and reduce expenditure.

Now Xu'an occupies 25 counties, and the field force is less than 10. The trilogy that can be assembled immediately to fight abroad is barely about 6 to [-].

Sun Jian stationed troops in Baima, Yanjin, Puyang and other places to confront Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao and Sun Jian are fighting each other, and each represents the imperial court behind them, Chang'an in the west court and Chen Du in the east court.

Yuan Shao had 11 Chen soldiers, and the Dongting Army assembled in Puyang area also had more than 11 people, but it was slightly smaller than Yuan Shao's army, but in fact it was stronger.

There are 3 Yuzhou soldiers headed by Sun Jian, [-] Nanyang soldiers under Yuan Shu's command, [-] forbidden soldiers, [-] Yanzhou soldiers, [-] Jingzhou soldiers, and [-] Yangzhou soldiers, totaling about [-].

Liu Bei, Prime Minister of Pingyuan, also led [-] fine cavalry under his command, and more than [-] infantry also joined the Eastern Army.

Liu Bei's position is too embarrassing. Both the east and north are occupied by the Qingzhou Army, and the south is also occupied by the Yellow Turban Army. Only the west is safe. After Sun Jian weighed the pros and cons, he chose to abandon the plain. He wanted to fight Yuan Shao with all his strength. This battle is really too critical.

The lights flickered in the yamen hall of Yecheng Mansion.

Yuan Shao was hidden in the shadows, unable to see his face clearly.

Tian Feng and Jushou both frowned, staring at the map hanging in front of them.

But the strange thing is that the war in Dongjun is about to break out, but the Kanyu map hanging in the hall is not the map of Dongjun, but a map covering the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty and even the northern regions.

"Liangzhou is overwhelmed, Xu An is now in the north, no one dares to offend, and his prestige is in full swing. Although we are allies in name, we all know Xu An's nature."

"Dong Zhuo is now in Guanzhong. Luoyang was lost again after Yanshi's disastrous defeat. Now surrounded by Xu An on three sides, he was trapped and died in Guanzhong."

On the Kanyu map, Liangzhou, Bingzhou and other places are painted with light yellow dye, surrounding Guanzhong from three sides, like a bag, and it is packed in the bag.

Jushou snorted coldly.

"Xu An, with the appearance of a bear and a tiger and the voice of a jackal, is an ambitious wolf, so he will definitely not be peaceful."

"I'm afraid that when our army and the Eastern Army are in a fierce battle, when they want to distinguish the superiority, it will be the day when the Yellow Turban soldiers leave Taihang."

Tian Feng turned around and stopped. Although they defeated Gongsun Zan, the situation was even more unfavorable.

Dong Zhuo's persistence was far shorter than expected. It has to be said that Sun Jian is indeed a famous general in the world, even Huangfu Song in the past was not as dazzling as Sun Jian's achievements today.

Xu An occupied Bingzhou, and the Yellow Turban Army was strong and strong, and they were eyeing them, waiting for them to show their fatigue in the struggle and take advantage of the opportunity.

Sitting on the mountain and watching tigers fight, two tigers fight each other, one dies and the other is injured, it is easy to calculate.

Tian Feng knew exactly what Xu An wanted to do, and what the Yellow Turban Army was waiting for, but the problem was that they were already on the verge of riding a tiger. Without the restraint of Yangzhou, Luoyang and other places, Sun Jian would definitely go north immediately.

Instead of waiting for Sun Jian to launch the Northern Expedition, it is better to seize the opportunity first and win the first blow.

This is also the reason why Tian Feng and Ju Shou encouraged Yuan Shao to issue a call to action.

However, the current situation is very difficult, and we must come up with a perfect plan...

Chapter 621 Four-way Siege

Yuan Shao sat on the table with a gloomy expression.

He doesn't trust Xu An, and the report of the evil spirit also proves that the Taiping Road is not peaceful.

Now that the Yellow Turban Army has withdrawn most of its soldiers from Liangzhou, the main force of the Yellow Turban Army has returned to Bingzhou. At the same time, the activities of the Jizhou Eagle Wolf Guard are also showing signs of being active.

He knew what Tian Feng said was correct, Xu An had been waiting, waiting for a chance to rush out of Bingzhou.

Dong Zhuo's defeat was really fast, and Sun Jian's speed of stabilizing the interior also exceeded Yuan Shao's expectations, so everything now seems a little flustered.

"Xu An's biggest possibility is to capture Youzhou while our army is fighting fiercely with the Eastern Army."

Tian Feng pointed to Youzhou in the north with a solemn expression.

"The cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army is brave, and Liangzhou cavalry can't resist. With the help of the Xiongnu and Shanggu Wuhuan, if we attack Youzhou, the main force of our army is now in the south, and it may be difficult to resist."

Although Ta Dun was brave, he only had one man with two arms. There are not a few brave generals in the Yellow Turban Army.

Wuhuan of the three counties fought repeatedly and suffered heavy losses. In the battle of Rushui, Wuyan, king of Khan and Lu, was beheaded and later defeated by Gongsundu.

Tian Feng knew very well that Wuhuan in the three counties and the defenders in Youzhou today would never be able to stop the Yellow Turban Army from invading.

Yuan Shao's face was extremely ugly. It took a lot of manpower and material resources to defeat Youzhou, how could he give up so easily.

"If you want to keep Youzhou, you need at least [-] troops to defend it, so that you can resist it."

Ju Shou frowned, staring at the map in front of him.

If [-] soldiers were mobilized to go north, then Youzhou could be kept, but the southern line could not stop Sun Jian. When the time came to protect Youzhou, there was no way to preserve Jizhou.

"The victory of this battle depends on Yu Dong Zhuo."

Tian Feng looked solemn, facing Yuan Shao, and said solemnly.

"Dong Zhuo?"

"That's right, it's Dong Zhuo."

Tian Feng said in a deep voice: "Dong Zhuo is now trapped in the Kanto region. The terrain in Hanzhong in the south is steep and cannot expand southward. The east, west and north sides are all occupied by the Taiping Road, just like a caged animal."

"Dong Zhuo is the key to breaking the game."

Tian Feng put his hands on the Guanzhong area surrounded by light yellow dye.

"Dong Zhuo's army was defeated in the Battle of Yanshi, and its strength was greatly damaged, but there were still many soldiers in the Guanzhong area. However, these parts were not sent out because they needed to guard against Xu An. In the chaotic situation everywhere, block the attack of Dong Zhuo's army."

"Since Xu An wants to watch the two tigers fight and profit from it, then drag him into the chaotic battle, so that he has no energy to attack our Youji two places."

Yuan Shao narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked up at Tian Feng.

"You mean, let Dong Zhuo attack Xu An, so that Xu An has no time to clone, and there is no extra force to attack our army."

"What Duke Ming said is exactly what I think in my heart."

Tian Feng bowed his hands and said in a deep voice.

"The current situation in Guanzhong is clearly visible. Dong Zhuo's mastermind, Li Ru, is not a mediocre person. He must be able to clearly understand the dangers in Guanzhong and their current predicament."

"Xu An occupies the two places, the danger to Dong Zhuo is much greater than to us, and Dong Zhuo has more worries in his heart than we do, so I think it only needs to send a lobbyist to state the pros and cons, and Dong Zhuo's Northern Expedition will be promoted. Xu An, drag Xu An into the quagmire."

Xu An now occupies the northern territory, and if he wants to continue to expand, it is absolutely impossible to attack the Xianbei tribe in the north.

The Xianbei tribes in the north originally had three tribes, East, West, and Central.

The western Xianbei broke away from the Xianbei sequence very early and was already defeated by Xu An. Its remnants were defeated by Wusun and other tribes in the north, and now it seems to be merged into the central Xianbei.

After Tan Shihuai's death, Helian's younger brother, Kuitou, led Xianbei on behalf of Qianman. His son Qianman was young and did not have any problems.

But as Qianman grew up, the leader was unwilling to abdicate, so a protracted war broke out between the two Xianbei tribes.

Kuitou and Qianman are equal in strength, Xianbei in the east supports Kuitou, while Xianbei in the middle supports Qianman.

Although Xianbei has been fighting internally for nearly ten years, the two sides have not fought on a large scale, so their strength is still there. It is impossible for Xu An to go to Xianbei to die for the cold place in the north.

Moreover, the elimination of Xianbei will not help. There are still tribes in the Northland. Unless they fight all the way to the vicinity of the Arctic Ocean, it will be difficult to eliminate their worries after all.

Since it is impossible to attack Xianbei, there are only four states to choose from: Youzhou, Jizhou, Sili, and Yizhou, and the most likely of them are Youzhou and Sili.

"Dong Zhuo is now in a predicament, and the only way to break the situation is to defeat Xu An."

Tian Feng looked deeply and said in a low voice.

"Dong Zhuo, he has no choice."

Yuan Shao pondered for a while.

"Xu An's generals are strong now, and the soldiers are strong. I'm afraid Dong Zhuo will be unable to defeat Xu An. Instead, he is speeding up the time for the collapse of Guanzhong."

Tian Feng paused and smiled.

"There are tens of thousands of troops under Dong Zhuo's command. No matter how bad it is, Xu An can be dragged into the mud. Regardless of Dong Zhuo's victory or defeat, Xu An will focus all his attention on Dong Zhuo, and our army can take advantage of it." This opportunity defeats Sun Jian, captures Yanzhou and Qingzhou as one, and looks at Yuzhou and Guanzhong."

"Once our army defeats Sun Jian, we can occupy Luoyang and open up the connection with Guanzhong."

Ju Shou turned around and looked at Yuan Shao.

"At that time, our army will enter the Guanzhong and welcome Dajia from the west, that is, the capital of officials and strong soldiers will be attached to them, and the princes will be enslaved by the emperor, and the beasts and horses will fight for justice. Who can resist it?"

"Dong Zhuo's life and death, what does it have to do with me?"

Jushou took a step forward and walked to Tian Feng's side.

"Dong Zhuo may not be able to defeat Xu An with only the land in Guanzhong, but we still have foreign aid."

"foreign aid?"

"Most of the land in Youzhou is now in the hands of our army, but the two counties of Dai County and Shanggu County are in the hands of the Yellow Turban Army."

"And the Northland is the Eastern Xianbei..."

Ju Shou's eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice.

"Now that the Xianbei tribes are in constant internal turmoil and are in a stalemate, our army can use our advantage to induce the two Xianbei tribes to go south and invade the territory of Bingzhou."

"Let Tadun lead the three counties Wuhuan to attack Dai County and Shanggu County, and use Xianbei in the east as reinforcements. If we can capture the long-lost two counties of Youzhou, the initiative will once again be in the hands of our army!"

"Although the Qiangs in Liangzhou were overwhelmed by Xu An's iron-fisted tactics, they are advancing in three directions. If Xu An has difficulty parrying, Dong Zhuo can persuade a familiar man to stir up commotion in Liangzhou."

"Internal and external troubles, sending troops from four directions, if the plan goes well, when our army and Sun Jian are determined to win or lose, Xu An may still be tired of coping with the predicament on all sides."

"In this way, the dilemma of our army can be solved."

Ju Shou stood up straight, his eyes cold.

Chapter 622 Battle of the East County

The Central Plains War is about to break out, but Yuan Shaojun's movements are strange and unpredictable.

In November of the second year of Chuping, Yuan Shao issued an appeal, but now it was April of the third year of Chuping. After the two sides had summoned their troops, the stalemate had been in Dongjun for more than a month.

Both sides have maintained restraint and have not turned the engagement into a large-scale war. It has been a tentative attack for more than a month.

In the camp of the Han army in Puyang, Sun Jian, armed with a waist knife, led a group of generals, striding into the camp of the Chinese army.

At this time, in the big tent, Yanzhou Inspector Cao Cao, Pingyuan Prime Minister Liu Bei, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai and others had been waiting in the tent for a long time.

The confrontation has been going on for a month, and Yuan Shao has also begun to show his sharp fangs.

Xuzhou's Zang Ba was supported by Qingzhou Muyuan Tan, and now all worries have been relieved. Zang Ba, who is strong and strong, is now attacking Xuzhou.

Tao Qian's employment is unknown, and Zang Ba's rebellion caused heavy losses to the Xuzhou Army.

Originally, Tao Qian relied on Zang Ba to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Xuzhou. Now that he was attacked by Zang Ba, two cities have fallen in succession.

Zang Ba Bingfeng pointed directly at Xuzhou's state governance, and Xuzhou's emergency documents drifted to Chendu like snowflakes.

"Xuzhou must be rescued. If Xuzhou is lost, the hinterland of our army will be exposed to Zang Ba's troops. Yuan Shao will never let this opportunity go. Qingzhou soldiers will definitely go south."

"At that time, Qingzhou soldiers will not only be able to invade the hinterland of our army, but also attack Yanzhou from the Pengcheng area of ​​Xuzhou. In any case, our army will definitely need to turn back for rescue. At that time, our army may be difficult to resist."

Guo Jia's complexion was not good, and he said in a deep voice.
