The World of Yellow Sky

Sun Jian looked at the generals in the tent, and for a moment he didn't know who to send to lead the troops to assist Xuzhou.

The battle situation in Xuzhou is complicated. Although Tao Qian has accepted Liu Xie as emperor, he still maintains considerable independence. Therefore, Sun Jian's information about Xuzhou's situation basically comes from the documents sent by Tao Qian.

Sun Jian set his sights on the generals in the tent, and now the composition of his subordinates is very complicated.

Soldiers from Yuzhou, Jingzhou, Yanzhou, Yangzhou, and Nanyang came from the five places.

The quality of the soldiers in the five prefectures varies, but the good thing is that after a month of confrontation and testing, Sun Jian also has a general understanding of the general level of the soldiers under his command.

Arranged in order of strength and weakness are Yuzhou, Nanyang, Jingzhou, Yanzhou, and Yangzhou.

The Nanyang soldiers were originally quite weak, but Yuan Shu's battle in Yanshi made the Nanyang soldiers fight bloody.

After training and excellent military equipment, the Nanyang soldiers now look like elite soldiers.

But there is still a bigger problem, because it is gathered from all states, so it is difficult for the top and bottom to be of one mind, and it is difficult to use their arms.

"Zhu Zhi."

Sun Jian pondered for a moment, then gave the order.

"You take Yangzhou soldiers to support Xuzhou, and try your best to hold on to the city. I will ask His Majesty later, so that you can control Xuzhou's soldiers and horses. Be sure to stabilize the situation in Xuzhou."

After weighing the pros and cons, Sun Jian decided to send Zhu Zhi to lead the Yangzhou Army to support Xuzhou.

Zhu Zhi was listed as Sima from the time when Sun Jian conquered Jingnan, and he followed Sun Jian all the way to defeat the Jingnan bandits, Dong Zhuo and other troops, all the way to the rank of captain of the Xingdu Army.

He is calm, has an excellent military strategy, and has led the army alone many times. He is the best candidate for defense.

"The current situation is grim. Yuan Shao is currently stationed in the Liyang area and is not in a hurry to attack. Tian Feng and Jushou are probably planning a conspiracy. This battle should not be delayed for a long time."

Sun Jian looked serious and said in a deep voice.

Only a thousand days to be a thief, not a thousand days to defend against a thief, Yuan Shao made moves one after another, according to the report of the embroidered clothes emissary, Dong Zhuo in Guanzhong seemed to be about to make a move, ready to send troops, but he didn't know what to do, which made Sun Jian a little impatient.

Together with Wuguan in Nanyang County, it is still in the hands of Dong Zhuo.

If Dong Zhuo went south to attack Nanyang, the war would not last long.

It is now April, and when the flood season arrives, the Yellow River will be even more difficult to cross, and there is no time to delay.

"The situation is critical now and cannot be delayed any longer."

Sun Jian stood up slowly, with serious eyes, pressed the Han sword on his waist, and said coldly.

"Huang Zhong."

Sun Jian's gaze was on a middle-aged general in a crimson shirt with a cold expression in the military tent.

"Tomorrow you will lead the troops of the headquarters to Baima and be responsible for building the pontoon bridge to cross the river. Be careful."

The middle-aged general stood up and promised in a deep voice.

Huang Zhong sat down again, while Sun Jian continued to give orders.

Liu Biao is no longer the governor of Jingzhou, but has been promoted to the governor of Jingzhou.

Huang Zhong was appointed Zhonglang General by Liu Biao, and he followed Liu Biao and his nephew Liu Pan to garrison Changsha You County. This time Liu Biao sent [-] Jingzhou troops, led by Huang Zhong and Liu Pan.

The Jingzhou army is familiar with water warfare, and the Jingzhou army is fairly well-equipped. It is only slightly inferior to the Nanyang army in terms of elites. It is perfect to be the vanguard of crossing the river this time.

A series of military orders came out from Sun Jian's mouth, and one general after another in the camp of the Chinese Army stood up and agreed.

The camp of the Han army in Puyang was also boiling because of this.

After a while, the huge Puyang Han army camp was full of voices.

Thousands of Han army soldiers in red and black armor, under the leadership of their respective chief officers, walked out of the camps everywhere, converging into fiery red streams, which flowed smoothly amidst the sound of trumpets and drums. Walk out of the gate in an orderly manner.

The news of the Han army's departure from the camp was not concealed for too long, and it was soon detected by Qi Mei, and the news was immediately passed on to Liyang and Yecheng.

The current leader of the evil spirit is Shen Yu, who was the leader of the Jizhou Embroidered Clothes Envoy back then.

With the strong financial support of Jizhou, now the charm is getting stronger and stronger.

Compared with the timid Chen Du embroidered emissary, Mi Mei's situation is much better.

"Finally I couldn't bear it anymore..."

Yuan Shao put down the document in his hand and sneered.

"Order Xiansi to leave enough soldiers for defense, and then send a general south to cooperate with Zang Ba to attack Xuzhou."

Yuan Shao's eldest son was Yuan Tan, and Xiansi was Yuan Tan's name. Now Yuan Tan is the governor of Qingzhou and leads Yuan Tan.

Tian Kai, the governor of Qingzhou appointed by Gongsun Zan, had already been beheaded by Yuan Tan Yu Le'an.

"Order Zhou Ang to send troops out of Luoyang and harass the Luoyang area in case of a great battle, so that Sun Jian can't concentrate on the land of Dongjun."

Yuan Shao's eyes were serious, he stood up and looked at the generals gathered in Yecheng government office.

"It is said that Sun Jian is a famous general in the world and unstoppable, but I don't believe it. How can I fall behind from the two states of Hebei and Youzhou?"

"Since Sun Jian is famous for his raging fire, he is known as a fierce tiger, and his aggression is like fire, then let him attack!"

"I want to see how far Sun Jian can go!"

Chapter 622 The Trap

In the third year of Chuping (192), April, [-]th.

The Eastern Army, headed by Sun Jian, with Yuan Shu and Cao Cao as deputy, dispatched troops from two directions and marched towards Liyang.

Since then, the Battle of Dongjun has begun.

The Yingwei lurking in Dongjun sent the news to Taihang Mountain as quickly as possible, and then sent it to Jinyang City in Taiyuan County via Shangdang County with the highest military order.

April 24.

In the Jinyang government office, the silence was terrifying.

In the lobby of the government office, a group of yellow scarf army generals in military uniforms sat on both sides, all with awe-inspiring expressions.

Jia Xu and Xu You are sitting in the first and second seats on the left.

Gong Du and Lu Bu sat on the right side as the chief and second seat, and Ma Teng was next to Lu Bu.

The Yellow Turban Army has a total of three heavy-ranked generals, and this time they all sat in Jinyang.

Ma Teng looked at a yellow scarf army general who was sitting in the hall. After Liangzhou settled down, Xu An used Yan Zhong as Liangzhou pastoral agent to represent Liangzhou. When he returned to Taiyuan County, Ma Teng followed Xu An back to Bingzhou .

Liangzhou has already settled down, so it is naturally impossible for Xu An to let Ma Teng, who has a lot of prestige, stay in Liangzhou.

Ma Teng's continued stay in Liangzhou will always be an unstable factor.

So Ma Teng, General Pingdong, the third heavy-ranked general of the Yellow Turban Army, is actually just a virtual position without any real power.

Ma Teng also accepted such an arrangement. Gao Pingchuan was defeated, and the Yellow Turban Army sacked Liangzhou, and there was no room for him to refuse.

This meeting is very important, and all the people present are generals and lieutenants of the Yellow Turban Army.

Ma Teng has been here for almost a year, and he basically knows all the generals in the Yellow Turban Army. Now Ma Teng is basically unemployed at home, without any rights, only vacancies, so most of his time is spent on entertainment.

Winner and loser, Ma Teng has accepted this kind of life, and the prosperity of Jinyang City has also diluted some of his ambitions.

It's just that when he came to such a place again, Ma Teng felt some strange feelings in his heart.

In the hall, there was a general of the Yellow Turban Army who sat upright. None of them looked around, and none of them whispered to each other.There was firmness in their eyes.

These generals in the Yellow Turban Army were completely different from the Han army generals he had seen before, and the Qiangdi heroes he had seen before.

It seems like they are a qualified general and a qualified soldier should have the demeanor.

Ma Teng had seen the training scene in the Taipingdao Army Academy, and also been to the lecture hall. The Yellow Turban Army was completely different from other troops in every aspect.

Ma Teng looked at the yellow turban generals in the hall who were not looking sideways, and now he no longer doubted whether Taipingdao could win the final victory.

Taiping Road is taking a brand new path, a path unique to it.

The students of Meng Xuetang, the officers of military academies, they can learn various aspects of knowledge.

Originally, all these were regarded as treasures by those aristocratic families. They stored the bamboo slips that recorded all kinds of knowledge in their own homes and warehouses in various places. They were not open to outsiders and passed down as family learning.

Those knowledge originally only existed in those aristocratic and powerful families, and the common people were not even qualified to take a look at it for a lifetime.

However, now Taipingdao took out all the family studies that were regarded as treasures by various families, took those bamboo slips, and those books from the powerful families of the aristocratic families.

Then use paper to make books, and teach them unreservedly to ordinary people, soldiers, etc., those poor people who would never have the opportunity to have any contact with them in their entire lives.

Whether it is Chang'an in the West Court or Chendu in the East Court, it is impossible to imitate the Yellow Turban Army to open schools and military academies.

Any powerful family would not be willing to contribute their family's collection of books to let those humble commoners learn. Those family studies are the foundation of their family's life, how can they be easily handed over?

The Yellow Turban Army is getting stronger day by day, and the literate people of the Yellow Turban Army have reached a terrifying level compared to other armies. Although most of them only know their own names and some simple Chinese characters, they are after all Literacy, and in constant progress.

Even the teachers in the literacy class would teach those ordinary soldiers some military knowledge. Ma Teng once went to see a literacy class in class.

It seemed that Xu An was training the entire Yellow Turban Army as officers.

Ma Teng has no doubts that those who have passed the literacy class training have the ability to become a team leader.

"salute!"

A high-pitched voice interrupted Ma Teng's thoughts.

Ma Teng stood up subconsciously, looking in the direction of the door.

There was a sound of standing up in the hall. All the generals were facing the gate, with their heads held high, their eyes awe-inspiring, they raised their right hands, clenched their fists and put them on the left chest about an inch in front of the heart. Ma Teng did the same. He raised his hand and saluted as well.

This is the second time that Xu An has reformed military etiquette. This time, in addition to removing the two main etiquettes of bowing and bowing, there are also some other military etiquettes.

Now everyone in the Yellow Turban Army, from generals to ordinary soldiers, all use this fist-clenching salute, and it is stipulated that when saluting, they must hold their heads high.

It has to be said that Xu An's reform of military etiquette this time is completely correct.

The reform of the military etiquette made the mental outlook of the Yellow Turban Army look like a new look, no matter in spirit or in all aspects, it is more vigorous than before.

When a person holds his head high and bows his head, the feeling in his heart is like a world of difference, and the impact it brings is also a world of difference.

The fist salute quickly replaced the original etiquette in the Yellow Turban Army, and was quickly accepted by the majority of soldiers.

Those generals and schools did not object to this. The Yellow Turban Army called each other comrades, and the ideology of Taiping Dao influenced them. They did not have the bad habits of superiors oppressing subordinates and bullying subordinates in ordinary feudal armies.

The sound of footsteps came from outside the hall. Xu An was dressed in a military uniform and a burqa, and strode into the hall.

Wearing a fragrant eagle-wolf suit, Liu Pi followed closely behind, pressing the Yanling saber in his hand.

Facing the eyes of all the generals in the hall, Xu An walked to the chief position. Liu Pi stood on the right side of Xu An with a knife, and the guards were beside him. After Xu An stood still, the generals in the hall put down They stretched their arms, but their eyes still stayed on Xu An's body.

Ma Teng felt a little cold in his heart. He noticed that most of these generals of the Yellow Turban Army looked at Xu An with almost crazy worship. Their eyes were extremely hot, as if...as if they saw a god.

Ma Teng was a little terrified, he felt that if Xu An let these generals die, these generals would obey the order without hesitation.

Xu An stood in the chief position, but he did not sit down.

Everyone's eyes didn't make Xu An feel the slightest discomfort.

"Just the day before yesterday, April 21."

Xu An's face was gloomy, and he said in a deep voice.

"The Han army in Guanzhong attacked Liangzhou and Hedong County from Xiaoguan and Zuofengyi."

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly froze, and Ma Teng's eyes flashed with surprise.

Dong Zhuo actually attacked Taipingdao at this time, and the time of attack was the day after the outbreak of the Battle of Dongjun.

It is a coincidence, I am afraid no one will believe it.

Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao had definitely planned in secret long ago, and when the war broke out, it was the time when the plan appeared.

In addition to being shocked, Ma Teng's expression became serious.

Yuan Shao and Sun Jian fought decisively on the north and south banks of the Yellow River. This was originally a good opportunity to fish in troubled waters on the Taiping Road.

But now that Dong Zhuo suddenly launched an attack, I am afraid that this time the Yellow Turban Army can no longer stay out of the way and watch the tigers fight.

Ma Teng was thinking about it, but suddenly found that although Xu An's face was gloomy, it was not worried at all, but rather cold.

It seems... It seems that all of this is in Xu An's expectation...

"The Battle of Dongjun has already broken out. Yuan Shao and Sun Jian are now locked in a fierce battle, and the battle is extremely stalemate."

Xu An looked around at the generals in the tent.

"Since Dong Zhuo has chosen to take the initiative to attack, then our plan will also change."
