The World of Yellow Sky

Zang Ba personally led the army, and Wang Xiu led the Qingzhou soldiers to cover the flanks. Zhu Zhi's several attacks were all disintegrated.

In the Battle of Yushan in Xuzhou, the two sides invested a total of nearly 3 soldiers.

Zang Ba and Wang Xiu were temporarily unable to advance westward, and Zhu Zhi had no way to attack again. Yuzhou soldiers suffered heavy casualties and needed to rest.

The battlefield in Xuzhou has since fallen into a stalemate.

In the battle between Sun Jian and Yuan Shao, there were three main battlefields, one was Dongjun, the other was Xuzhou, and the third was Luoyang, Henan.

Zhou Ang, the governor of Yuzhou appointed by Yuan Shao, once again led his army south to attack Luoyang. Luoyang was besieged, and Sun Jian had no time to divide his troops, so he ordered Luoyang to defend.

The defense of Luoyang is Wu Jing, a general under Sun Jian's command.

Wu Jing is as famous as Zhu Zhi in Sun Jianzhong, but the two have completely different military styles. Zhu Zhi is good at attacking, which is similar to Sun Jian, while Wu Jing is good at defending. Therefore, Sun Jian used Zhu Zhi to attack Xuzhou and Wu Jing to defend Luoyang.

The city wall of Luoyang has been repaired at this time, relying on the strong city, under the leadership of Wu Jing, the Eastern Army stubbornly resisted Zhou Ang's attack.

Zhou Ang couldn't attack several times, so he dug tunnels to attack, but Wu Jing disintegrated them one by one.

Zhou Ang could only besiege but not attack, and his troops were not many, so he did not dare to divide his troops to attack the rest of the checkpoints.

With the chaos in the Central Plains at this point, Xu An naturally would not let go of this opportunity. After a short rest, Xu An once again assembled the soldiers and sharp men of Chang'an City, and summoned the cavalry from the three battalions of Wuxiang and Xiliang , personally led the army to station in Huayin, preparing to advance towards Hangu Pass, and from Hangu Pass to attack Luoyang, which was in the middle of a fierce battle.

Lu Bu led the Xiaoqi Battalion, and some infantry from Hedong County guarded Hangu Pass.

Originally, Xu An's plan was to let Lu Bu and Zhang Yang lead the Xiaoqi battalion and Wuxiang battalion to march in a hurry, and lead the cavalry to attack Zhou Ang who was besieging Luoyang.

Equipped with new-style riding equipment, the Yellow Turban cavalry has reached a very high degree of mobility, and is equipped with high bridge saddles and double-footed stirrups, which also makes the impact of the cavalry reach a terrifying level.

Now there is no need for both men and horses to wear heavy armor, but they can also have considerable impact.

The Yellow Turban Army, which owns the two major horse producing areas of Liangzhou and Bingzhou, does not lack good horses. The horses used by the cavalry battalions of the Yellow Turban Army, such as Wu Xiang and Xiaoqi, have all been carefully selected, and they are said to be one out of a hundred. It's not an exaggeration either.

Caught off guard, Zhou Ang must be unable to resist.

In fact, even if he was prepared, Xu An didn't think Zhou Ang could stop Lu Bu's attack.

The two battalions of Wu Xiang and Xiaoqi had a total of ten thousand cavalry, and the soldiers under Zhou Ang's command were now only more than [-] at full strength, including the auxiliary soldiers responsible for transporting food and armor, etc.

Once Zhou Ang's army outside Luoyang was defeated, Lu Bu led the cavalry to roam outside the city.

Just wait for the follow-up pawns to arrive, and then slowly bombard the walls of Luoyang City with the counterweight trebuchet.

Finally, enter the most familiar scene of the Yellow Turban Army, building a mound and attacking the city from the destroyed city wall.

When it comes to field battles and military battles, the current Yellow Turban Army is not afraid of any army.

The thousands of partial teachers led by Wu Jing in Luoyang City are just turtles in a urn, and their survival is only in their hands.

After capturing Luoyang, he quickly advanced to attack the eight passes of Luoyang. After taking control of Henan Yin, he went north to attack Hanoi County.

At this time, Yu Du had already led the army to garrison at Tianjingguan in Taihang Xing in the northern part of Hanoi County. When Xu Anbing left Hanoi County, he led the army to the south, sandwiching Hanoi County.

Now Yuan Shao and Sun Jian's two armies are fighting inextricably in Dongjun, and they have no time to look around. This is the best time to control the entire territory of Sili Xiaowei's department in one fell swoop.

If the soldiers and horses are not moving, the grain and grass will go first.

Huayin, the camp of the Yellow Turban Army.

Xu An had just finished his tour of the camp, and all the supplies were ready. He Man led the army and recruited some people from Hongnong County to repair the dilapidated road sections.

The road can be built soon, and then the four-wheeled carriages of the Yellow Turban Army's logistics system can be put into use. The large ships in the river have also been prepared, and the waterways are in full swing. A large amount of grain can be transported from Guanzhong, Hedong and other places at any time. Transported to Hangu Pass, and then transported to Hanoi and Henan.

This is good news, but Xu An's face is not filled with joy, but with a hint of doubt.

A person from the east was waiting for his arrival in the camp. It was the arrival of this person that made Xu An feel puzzled.

Xu An walked slowly towards the big tent, Teng Xiangwei who saw Xu An coming outside the big tent saluted first, and then raised the curtains of the big tent from left to right.

It was noon at this time, and the scorching sun hung high. Even though it was covered by a tent, it was still very bright inside the tent.

Xu An narrowed his eyes slightly, and in the big tent, a scholar wearing a Jinxian concept on his head and a deep crimson coat was facing the curtain with his back, looking at the Kanyu map hanging in the big tent.

The scribe seemed to have heard the movement behind him. As soon as Xu An walked into the tent, he had already turned around.

The scribe smiled lightly, clasped his hands together, bowed slightly, and saluted solemnly.

"Don't drive Tian Feng in Jizhou, and pay homage to the great virtuous teacher."

641 Dead Octopus

Xu An put the whip in his hand back to his waist, looked at Tian Feng, and did not speak first.

He was thinking about Tian Feng's reason for coming, and the timing of Tian Feng's coming at this time was indeed a bit ingenious.

Dong Zhuo was defeated very quickly, and the news should not have been transmitted so quickly. After all, the Eagle Wolf Guard's power in Guanzhong is not weak, not to mention Hangu Pass and many other places, the main roads that can transmit information are already controlled by the Yellow Turban Army .

Xu An walked to the stage slowly, sat down, looked at Tian Feng who was not surprised, Xu An couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

In this era, powerful aristocratic families control knowledge and culture, and the best among them can be said to be dragons and phoenixes among the people.

Tian Feng went from Hanoi County to Hedong County through Zhiguanxing, the only one among the Eight Xings of the Taihang that was not controlled by the Yellow Turban Army.

Not long after he left Hedong County, he was intercepted by the patrolling cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army.

The sergeants of the Yellow Turban Army were not polite either, and tied Tian Feng directly.

Xu An didn't speak, Tian Feng didn't speak in a hurry, and there was no big disturbance on his face.

"I heard that Sun Jian's Northern Expedition gathered tens of thousands of troops in Dongjun to attack Liyang. Now Dongjun is afraid that the war is urgent. Tian Biejia is not in Liyang to assist your master. Why did you come to my Taipingdao territory at this time?"

Tian Feng smiled indifferently, saluted first, but did not answer Xu An's question first, but talked about another matter.

"'Monitoring the world, inspecting Shenzhou', this sentence is an inscription before the office of the Eagle Wolf Guard. It is said that it was ordered by the great virtuous teacher himself. I have heard that the Eagle Wolf Guard is strong and the six doors are brave. I saw it today, and it is true. in this way."

"Eastern County is far away from Huayin by mountains. The news that my lord entered Liyang from Yecheng a few days ago, but the great virtuous teacher can still know the details of the battle. It really makes Tian Feng admire the method of the Eagle Wolf Guard. Our army's charm 'Compared to the eagle wolf guard under the command of the great virtuous teacher, it is still worse after all."

Xu An narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Tian Feng coldly, and said in a deep voice.

"Tian Biejia has something to say, but it's okay to say it, don't beat around the bush, Xu always likes to be outspoken."

"I don't know what Tian Biejia's visit this time is all about?"

Tian Feng restrained his smile when he heard this.

He also has a little bit of the same skills in observing words and demeanor and recognizing people. Xu An has already made it clear that he will naturally not beat around the bush again.

"The next time I come here, it's not for other things, it's for the safety of the Taiping Dao."

Tian Feng looked solemn, looked straight at Xu An without fear, and said in a deep voice.

"General Xu really doesn't know that the Taiping Road has reached the edge of the cliff, and if there is a slight mistake, it will fall into the abyss of ten thousand feet, and it is difficult to turn over."

Xu An's eyes sharpened sharply, and his face darkened.

"Tian Biejia doesn't need to deceive me with threatening words. I am stationed in Huayin now. I think you can guess what I will do next. Your master instigated Dong Zhuo to take revenge on our tribes in Hedong and Liangzhou, and he will definitely avenge it."

Emotions and anger are invisible, Xu An can naturally do it.

He scolded Tian Feng with a straight face, just to show Tian Feng on purpose.

Tian Feng came here this time, he must have been ordered by Yuan Shao, Tian Feng is wiser than others, if Yuan Shao was willing to listen to Tian Feng's words in the past, I am afraid Cao Cao is just a stepping stone.

As Jizhou Biejia, Tian Feng's status can be said to be second only to Yuan Shao's existence, but he personally took risks, and coming to lobby him is enough to prove that what Tian Feng wants to say is extremely important.

In the conversation, it is also extremely important to have the initiative.

"General Xu's words are wrong."

Tian Feng was neither humble nor overbearing, and said righteously.

"Dong Zhuo and my lord have always been at odds with each other. They have national enmity and family hatred. My lord just respects Shi Hou as orthodox. Dong Zhuo is cruel and everyone punishes him. My lord has never had any social relations with Dong Zhuo, but only obeys the edict of the emperor." Order, why do you want to encourage it?"

"This time General Xu beheaded the national traitor Dong Zhuo, and my lord entrusted me to come and thank you."

Xu An's eyes narrowed slightly.

Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao had previously confronted each other because of the alliance against Dong. Dong Zhuo killed his Taifu Yuan Kui and dozens of people from the Yuan family in Luoyang City. It was indeed a blood feud.

Even if Dong Zhuo actually reached an alliance with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo did not sign anything in name, and there was not much communication between the two.

All along, Yuan Shao has indeed only respected Liu Bian, and Yuan Shao has never communicated with the Xiliang Army or Dong Zhuo in public.

All Yuan Shao met seemed to be envoys representing the Chang'an court and the Son of Heaven.

Yuan Shao did all the good deeds, but Dong Zhuo took the blame.

"As soon as General Xu pacified Guanzhong, he sent troops to Huayin. Presumably the next step was to enter Luoyang and collect Henan Yin, and then sent troops to the north to attack Hanoi County, and joined forces with the Yellow Turban Army of Tianjingguan to attack Hanoi."

"Harvest Liang and Bingzhou, remove the dangers from the outside world, collect northern goblin cavalry, enter the pass to prepare food and grass, occupy Hanoi and defend it according to the Taihang, look at the Central Plains according to the eight passes of Luoyang, General Xu is good at planning." 45

Tian Feng clasped his hands, bowed slightly, and praised.

Then Tian Feng stood up straight, lowered his voice, and his aura suddenly changed at this time, and his whole body became very fierce, like half of a sharp knife drawn out of its sheath.

"Since General Xu doesn't like others to beat around the bush, then Tian will follow what General Xu said and speak out."

"Now in Chendu, Liu Xie has established himself as emperor. Sun Jian, Yuan Shu, Liu Chong, Liu Biao and others have gathered in Chendu to support him as the emperor. According to the five prefectures of Henan, Yan, Xu, Yang, and Jing, the people under his command are more than Tens of millions, hundreds of thousands of armored men, this time they marched northward into Dongjun, with the momentum of a tiger."

"Although our army occupied Qingzhou and got Xuzhou Zang Ba's support, but just defeated Gongsun Zan, although we had the help of Wuhuan from the three counties, our strength was still damaged, and we will be exhausted."

"Sun Wentai, known as the Jiangdong tiger in the army, is extremely brave, unstoppable, and aggressive, and his military skills are even better than Zhu Jun, the former Marquis of Qiantang."

"Although the Battle of Dongjun lasted for more than a month, our army has actually done its best. Now Sun Jian has landed on the south bank of Liyang and set up an outpost, and Yuan Shu and Liu Bei are crossing to the north of Weiguo. Although they are victorious... ..."

Tian Feng's words changed, and he said firmly.

"But I think if there is no accident, Sun Jian will definitely win in the end."

Tian Feng stared directly at Xu An with piercing eyes.

"Presumably General Xu thinks so too."

Xu An's face remained unchanged, he knew better than anyone else that Yuan Shao might lose.

In today's East Court Chendu, there are countless elite soldiers and strong generals, fierce generals like clouds, and counselors like rain.

Sun Jian, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei, the three most notable heroes in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, gathered together.

Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, Xun You and other famous counselors in history.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu became famous in Yangzhou, and the names of Zhang Zhao, Lu Su and other famous ministers also appeared in the secret letter of the Eagle Wolf Guard.

In the original time and space, Cao Wei's five good generals, Zhang Jai died early, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang are now in the Taiping Road, but Yu Jin and Le Jin are in the Eastern Army.

The eight tiger riders are all members of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, and naturally they are all under Cao Cao's tent.

The Tigers and Cardinals, Xu Chu and Dian Wei have joined Sun Jian's tent.

The Five Tiger Generals of the Shu Han, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Huang Zhong were also directly under the command of Sun Jian.

Such a terrifying lineup, coupled with Sun Jian's command.

To be honest, when Xu An got the latest information from the Eagle Wolf Guard, he knew that the Battle of Dongjun was probably Sun Jian's final victory.

On Yuan Shao's side, Tian Feng, Jushou, and Shenpei were considered top-notch advisers, but with Guo Tu and his like adding to the chaos, they must have been timid.

Generals, although Yuan Shao has many generals under his command, there are not many outstanding ones.

Both Yan Liang and Wen Chou were subdued by Xu An, and now Yuan Shao has only Ju Yi and Gao Lan to rely on.

Moreover, although Yuan Shao seemed to have many soldiers and had a defensive advantage, Sun Jian was just good at attacking, and Yuan Shao had many soldiers, but most of Sun Jian's soldiers were elite.

No matter from any perspective, Sun Jian's chances of winning are far greater than Yuan Shao's.

Therefore, when Xu An was in the process of counterattacking, he had already started secretly discussing with Gongsun Du how to carve up Youzhou and Jizhou after Yuan Shao's defeat.

The Department of Foreign Affairs has now been officially handed over. After Pang Bo left office, Tian Zhong went to Liaodong. Gongsun Du agreed to most of the conditions and reached an alliance.

In the original time and space, after Cao Cao occupied the north, Gongsun Du also chose to join.

Now that Xu Rong is attached, Xu An is confident that Gongsun Du will be attached to Taipingdao.

Xu Rong and Gongsun Du are in the same county, and they have always been friends, which is why Xu Rong recommended Gongsun Du as the prefect of Liaodong.

Since Xu Rong is attached, as long as the Yellow Turban Army has the upper hand, it is not a big problem to convince Gongsun Du to join him.

Gongsun Du is now occupying Liaodong and attacking Donglai County in Qingzhou, although his ambitions are not small.

But in the bitter cold land of Liaodong, even if Fuyu and Goguryeo were conquered, there was no force to go south to the Central Plains after all.

Gongsun Du is not Xu An, he does not have Xu An's insight, nor is there a warrior who is willing to give up his life for the sake of peace.

"General Xu has probably reached an agreement with Gongsun Du. Once our army loses, let Liu Shi lead Shanggu Wuhuan and Gongsun Du to take the opportunity to carve up Youzhou."

"Then, in order to prevent Sun Jian from expanding his victories and defeating our army in one fell swoop, so that Taipingdao can face Sun Jian whose morale is high, General Xu will definitely make moves to attack Yuzhou and Jingzhou."
