The World of Yellow Sky

The person wearing the yellow scarf also showed his face in the firelight.

"Farewell to Liangzhou, long time no see."

The visitor smiled lightly, clasped his fists with both hands, and said loudly.

Fan Chou looked at the person in front of him, a little surprised, he felt familiar, but because of his long memory, he didn't know his name, and couldn't remember who it was for a while.

It's just that when someone came to speak, Fan Chou's body shook suddenly, and the memories of the past poured out of his mind like a tide.

"Shoucheng?"

Fan Chou stood up straight, looking at the person in front of him, a little unbelievable.

The person who came was none other than Ma Teng and Ma Shoucheng.

The Ma family is a big family in Longxi, and Ma Teng also held important positions in Liangzhou. Many of the generals under Dong Zhuo's command were actually familiar with Ma Teng. There is not much interaction between people.

"Dong Zhuo Fuzhu, most of the Liangzhou soldiers under his command have already chosen to join."

"The great virtuous teacher knows that the two generals are not cruel people. The two generals rarely participated in the evils committed by Dong Zhuo, so I have been appointed to persuade the two generals. I hope that the two generals can turn to the light. What I said is The original words of the great virtuous teacher."

Ma Teng stepped forward slowly, with a sincere expression, appearing extremely sincere.

"Niu Fu, Dong Min, Li Ru and others were all killed in Huayin. Duan Yan has already abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side. He led the uprising and joined the Taiping Road."

Duan Yao is the brother of Duan Jiong (jiǒng) in "Liangzhou Sanming", a native of Guzang in Wuwei County, and a fellow villager with Jia Xu.

Duan Yan is different from Dong Zhuojun, because of Duan Jiong, Dong Zhuo also gave Duan Yan a lot of face and gave him considerable autonomy.

When Sun Jian defeated Luoyang and Dong Zhuo retreated to Chang'an to deploy defenses along the way, Dong Zhuo ordered Duan Yan to station troops in Huayin to prepare for Sun Jian.

When Duan Yan was in Huayin, he worked diligently on agriculture and did not plunder the people, so the people were happy.

"Wang Yun of Chang'an City and others launched a palace coup and hijacked Emperor Han to flee to Wuguan in the south. Today's Chang'an City has been abandoned, and the land in Guanzhong is in chaos. The first task should be to cultivate with the people, and great virtuous teachers are not willing to do more evil."

"I don't know what the two generals want."

Fan Chou and Xu Rong looked at each other with no heart to fight.

Ma Teng came to persuade him as an envoy, and the soldiers in the camp brought him directly without even reporting to them. They could already see the attitude of the soldiers in the camp.

"We are willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and return to the path of peace."

Xu Rong and Fan Chou bowed down to defeat together, completely convinced. In fact, they had no better choice than this.

Seeing that Xu Rong and Fan Chou are so knowledgeable, Ma Teng is also in a good mood.

This time when Xu An went to the expedition, Ma Teng, who thought he would no longer lead the army, led a cavalry army.

This time Xu Rong and Fan Chou were talked about, maybe in the future they will not only be able to be a rich man.

Ma Teng's mind couldn't help but become active. Although it is only a false name, he is also the No.3 heavy general of the Yellow Turban Army. Perhaps Xu Rong and Fan Chou can take advantage of it...

It took less than a quarter of an hour from when Ma Teng entered the camp to when Xu Rong and Fan Chou led the troops out.

Under the leadership of Xu Rong and Fan Chou, [-] Liangzhou soldiers surrendered all their weapons, and were taken into prisoner camps by the Yellow Turban Army.

Xu Rong and Fan Chou tied their hands and asked to surrender in the tent of the Yellow Turban Army camp.

Xu An also didn't sit proudly in the first seat to accept their surrender, Xu An stood up himself, untied the ropes for Xu Rong and Fan Chou, and ordered people to arrange seats in the tent.

"Everyone in the world says that a great virtuous and good teacher is benevolence and righteousness. If you do one thing today, you will know that what you say is true."

Fan Chou knelt down on the ground, bowed his head to the ground, and bowed respectfully to Xu An.

"There is no kneeling ceremony in my Yellow Turban Army, General Fan doesn't need to be more polite."

Xu An waved his hand and smiled.

"Great virtuous teacher, I have a request. I wonder if the great virtuous teacher can accept it?"

Fan Chou raised his head and asked sincerely.

Holding the wine glass in his hand, Xu An didn't immediately agree.

"I have been away from Liangzhou for many years, I have fought countless battles, and I have committed a lot of crimes. I want to beg the great virtuous teacher to allow me to return home and farm, and return to the countryside."

Ma Teng's expression moved slightly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was a little stiff.

Fan Chou actually had the idea of ​​retiring, which Ma Teng didn't think of.

Xu An has always been unsuspecting in employing people, even if he is a surrendered general, he does not treat him differently.

Lu Bu, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou were all Han generals, but Xu An all entrusted them with important tasks.

Jia Xu and Zhang Yang used to be generals under Dong Zhuo's command. Now Jia Xu is the mastermind of the Taiping Dao, and Zhang Yang has become a general with real power. This time, he followed Xu Huang in the battle.

Xu An and Dong Zhuo are completely different. Dong Zhuo is self-willed and treats the generals poorly, but he treats the generals of the direct line. Almost all of the Liangzhou lineage have ascended to high positions, but Xu An does not blindly favor the direct lineage and the old ones. The Yellow Turban Army has clear rewards and punishments, and can be fair.

Xu An didn't expect that Fan Chou didn't want to make great achievements and gain fame and fortune.

"Since General Fan intends to return home and farm, then I can't force it, as General Fan wishes."

Xu An raised the wine glass in his hand and said quite sincerely.

"Thank you for your kindness, great teacher."

Fan Chou bowed down again, this time Xu An did not continue to talk about etiquette.

Since Fan Chou chose to live in seclusion, it didn't really affect him.

In fact, Fan Chou can only be regarded as an addition at best. He made fewer mistakes than Dong Zhuo, Li Jue and others, which is also the most important reason why Fan Chou was able to survive.

In fact, the person Xu An really wants to recruit is Xu Rong.

Xu Rong defeated the pursuit army of Bao Xin, Cao Cao, Wei Zi and others in the Battle of Bianshui, and defeated Sun Jian's troops in the Battle of Liangdong. Famous generals.

It's a pity that Dong Zhuo's series of magical operations later ruined all Xu Rong's hard work.

A clever woman can't cook without rice, and Xu Rong was not the culprit for the fiasco of Taiguguan and Yanshi.

Xu Rong is undoubtedly an excellent general. He can lead an army alone, guard one side, and even dispatch an attack as the chief general.

There is indeed a shortage of such generals in the Yellow Turban Army.

Now that the Yellow Turban Army can successfully lead an army alone, only Yan Zhong, Zhang Yan, Xu Huang, and Guo Tai are four. Generals, the Yellow Turban Army is extremely scarce.

And it is also important that Xu Rong once recommended Gongsun Du, who was born in the same county, to Dong Zhuo as the prefect of Liaodong.

Xu Rong and Gongsun Du are good friends, and they have a close personal relationship. If Xu Rong surrenders, then the Gongsun Du who took over Liaodong and made himself king will probably be greatly affected, and may even be able to persuade Gongsun Du to join him. This probability is indeed a bit small now, but the probability will definitely increase a lot in the future.

The hustle and bustle in the tent was still the same, pushing cups and changing cups, celebrating this hearty victory.

Holding the glass of wine, Xu An walked out of the tent slowly.

With the surrender of Xu Rong and Fan Chou, the last obstacle for him to take the land in Guanzhong disappeared.

Above the sky, the Milky Way is vast.

Xu An raised his wine cup high, respected the sky from a distance, raised his head and drank all the water in the cup.

Although the night breeze was cold, Xu An's chest was extremely hot.

This thousand-mile golden city, the inheritance of descendants and emperors forever, has already fallen into his pocket.

Dapeng rises with the same wind in one day and soars up to [-] miles!

Chapter 633 Chang'an

The kingdom of great kings, four frontiers are considered solid: there are Ganquan and Taniguchi in the north, Jingwei in the south, Longshu on the right, and Guanban on the left. Fighting millions, thousands of chariots, if you are good, you will attack, if you are unfavorable, you will enter and defend. This king The land also.

Surrounded by mountains and surrounded by Wei, there is a river in the east, Hanzhong in the west, Bashu in the south, and Daima in the north.

Guanzhong is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the mountains are blocked, leaving only a few passes.

Only use one side to control the princes in the east, the princes are stable, the rivers, Wei, and Cao are the world, and the west is given to the capital.The princes have changed, and if they go down the river, they are enough to lose. This is the so-called golden city thousands of miles, the land of abundance.

Guanzhong, the spine of the world, the dragon head of the Central Plains!

The land of Guanzhong is not only a strategically important place, but also the most fertile place in the world.

Since the Qin Dynasty, Guanzhong has always been the center of the world. The Qin and Han dynasties used Chang'an, which is located in Guanzhong, as the capital to control the world.

Although Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiuzhong rejuvenated the Han Dynasty and moved the capital to Luoyang in the east, the prosperity of Guanzhong still did not decline much.

After removing the Guanhuan of the capital, the land in Guanzhong can still be called the most fertile place in the world.

Thousands of miles of fertile fields, the land of abundance.

Using such words to describe Guanzhong Land does not seem excessive at all.

Xu An previously occupied Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Silihedong, and Youzhou counties, the grasslands in the west of Wuhuan in the three counties, and the land in the south of Xianbei in the west, all of which were included in his pocket. Neither Yuan Shao nor Yuan Shao can compare with it.

But most of these places are sparsely populated, and many places are grasslands, which cannot be cultivated.

Numerous examples in history have proved to Xu An that turning the grassland into arable land will only waste people and money, and in the end it is just a waste of water with a bamboo basket, and in the end he will suffer the consequences of the grassland being deserted.

Naturally, Xu An would not go against the trend and do those thankless things.

In fact, the grain collected in Hedong County alone accounted for almost half of the total grain in Taiping Road.

Even so, the land in Hedong County is much worse than that in Guanzhong.

The land in Guanzhong is densely covered with a network of rivers. It can be described as fertile and wild for thousands of miles. The terrain is flat and easy to cultivate.

The current Guanzhong is not as bad as it was in the original time and space. After Dong Zhuo’s rebellion, it was ransacked by Li Jue and Guo Si. In the end, it became ten rooms and nine empty, with bones exposed in the wild, and no rooster crowed for thousands of miles. scene.

Dong Zhuo was defeated in Huayin and killed himself. Dong Min, Dong Yue, Niu Fu, and Li Ru all died along with Dong Zhuo.

Guo Si died on the south bank of Fenshui and was beheaded by Lu Bu, and Li Jue was headed by Ma Chao and Xiao Guanxiao.

Hua Xiong and Zhang Ji died in Yanshi, and Hu Zhen's whereabouts were unknown. Duan Yan, Fan Chou, and Xu Rong surrendered with a total of more than [-] soldiers.

The land of Guanzhong changed hands, and Dong Zhuo's power, which was once prosperous for a while, disappeared in smoke.

There are still millions of people in Guanzhong, and these millions of people are enough to ensure that there is no shortage of people to cultivate the fertile and fertile Guanzhong.

In the original time and space, Han Sui and Ma Chao occupied Guanzhong, but they still lacked food and could not maintain a huge army.

This situation was due to the fact that Guanzhong had experienced several turmoil at that time, and the population was already extremely sparse.

The current Guanzhong has not experienced such turmoil, and it is still the most fertile place in the world.

The fields are fertile, the people are rich, the chariots are tens of thousands of vehicles, millions of people are fighting, the fertile fields are thousands of miles away, the savings are abundant, and the terrain is convenient. The current Guanzhong is not much worse than the old Guanzhong that supported the Qin State to sweep Liuhe.

On the wide official road, an army is slowly marching on it.

The khaki flags fluttered in the wind, which also showed their identities.

Apart from the marching yellow turban army, there is no one on the official road, not even a single person in the farmland not far from the official road. Those fields are not wasteland, but the working farmers have all left in order to avoid the war. I don't know where I hid.

Chen Wu looked at the gratifying crops, and he couldn't help showing envy in his eyes.

I don't know if the accumulated military merit fields can be exchanged for the fields here. If it can be exchanged, it will be a day like a fairy.

"Don't look at it, it's not yours."

Just when Chen Wu fell into reverie, a hand suddenly went around his neck and put it on his shoulder, but Tian Zhang with a thief-like face approached him.

"Tsk tsk, if Ueda trades military merits for this, I'm afraid it will cost a lot."

"I think you want to be punished again."

Chen Wu opened Tian Zhang's hand in disgust.

"If you're marching in wartime, believe it or not, Wang Qi can fish you on the stage with a hemp rope."

Tian Zhang grinned, took a deep breath, and at the same time touched his back.

Every time Chen Wu mentioned the matter of being hanged and beaten, Tian Zhang had nothing to say.

"Wang Qi is our boss who has grown up anyway, who knows that he won't give any face..."

There are two types of marches in the Yellow Turban Army.

One is wartime, marching in wartime, when in a state of war, there are clear regulations for marching in each step, how many miles to march every day, and when to reach the end, there are rules and regulations, and when marching, speech is not allowed , even head tilt is not allowed.

The communication between generals and schools can only be to convey military orders, and other meaningless exchanges are not allowed. Fu Zhu, who is serving as a military judge, will strictly enforce military laws.

The second is normal marching, which is undoubtedly much more relaxed than in wartime, as long as the mileage required for daily marching is much less than that in wartime, and the regulations are also much looser.

Soldiers and generals are also allowed to communicate occasionally during the march, and the atmosphere is relatively more relaxed.

The victory of the Battle of Huayin was decided by all the cities in Guanzhong. Those powerful families, dignitaries and dignitaries who were once high above all came out of the city to greet them.

The land of Guanzhong is actually controlled by the Yellow Turban Army. No one dares to confront the prosperous Yellow Turban Army at this time and touch the bottom line of the Yellow Turban Army.
