The World of Yellow Sky

However, the reason why it is said that Taiping Road occupies Hanzhong, Guanzhong, and Yizhou, and that Jingzhou is equal to the scope of Taiping Road's control is not alarmist.

Although Xiangyang City is strong, it can restrict the six counties of Jingnan in the south and Nanyang County in the north.

But Wuguan in Guanzhong leads to Nanyang, Hanzhong also leads to Nanyang, and Yizhou leads to Jingnan.

If the three roads advance together, Xiangyang will lose its strategic advantage, only the geographical advantage.

And once the army from Yizhou goes well and can reach the south of Xiangyang, then they can join forces from Guanzhong and Hanzhong in the north to attack Xiangyang from north to south.

In this way, there is no possibility of defending Xiangyang City.

Once Yizhou is occupied, Taipingdao can become the trend of Qiangqin sweeping the world.

"The Second Route Army is the Central Route Army."

The command whip in Xu An's hand moved a little to the left.

"The Central Route Army, starting from Biancheng under the Wudu County Government, headed south all the way, along the west side road, and marched towards Qiaotou and Baishui to support the East Route Army's actions."

"The road on the west side is narrower than the Jinniu Road, but according to the letter from the Eagle Wolf Guard, its guarding force is quite weak. The Central Route Army temporarily stands still. After the East Route Army launches an attack, they will start from Xiabian City and rush to the bridgehead. Cut off the retreat of the Yizhou army."

"The Central Route Army..."

Xu An pondered for a while, and finally his eyes rested on Xu Huang.

"Xu Huang is the main general, He Man and Gao Shun are the deputy, commanding a battalion of military soldiers and a battalion of sharp soldiers, with a total of 1 people, leading the trapped camp to fight."

The role of the Central Route Army is crucial, and it is necessary to support the east and west routes, compose and observe the overall situation, and make the best decision.

Among the generals and schools in the big tent, only Xu Huang is the most suitable to be the commander-in-chief of the Central Route Army.

"West Route Army."

Xu An put away his command whip and looked towards the westernmost side of Kanyu map.

"I will personally lead the West Route Army. From Wudu County to Gansong and Tazhong, via Yinping, Lu Bu, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Pang De, and Ma Chao all follow me to the south."

All the generals of the Yellow Turban Army in the tent agreed with a loud bang.

Jia Xu, who was sitting on the right, narrowed his eyes slightly. Although Xu An had already discussed this strategy with him, Jia Xu still felt that it was a bit risky.

Jia Xu looked at Xu An, he was convinced that Xu An only started thinking about attacking Yizhou after he offered the plan to drive away tigers and wolves.

But for some reason, Xu An quickly formulated a strategy to attack Yizhou, and the progress was frighteningly fast.

Obviously Xu An didn't know much about Yizhou, but when they withdrew into Guanzhong, Xu An proposed this strategy.

"Our army will triumph!"

Just as Jia Xu was thinking, Xu An's firm and powerful voice came from above.

Xu An looked at Jia Xu who was a little confused, and couldn't help showing a smile on the corner of his mouth.

The reason why he was able to immediately come up with a plan to attack Yizhou was not because of anything else, but because he knew how Ji Han was destroyed by Sima Zhao in history.

Sima Zhao sent Deng Ai, general of Zhengxi, to lead 3 people from Didao to Gansong and Tazhong to contain Jiang Wei; he sent Zhugexu, governor of Yongzhou, to lead more than 3 people from Qishan to Wujie and Qiaotou to cut off Jiang Wei's retreat. .Zhong Hui led more than [-] troops to Hanzhong from Xiegu, Luogu, and Ziwugu respectively.Let Ting Weiwei hold the Talisman Festival to supervise the military affairs of Deng Ai and Zhong Hui, and also to be the commander of Zhenxi Army.

Chapter 682 The Storm

The bones of the dead are exposed in the wild, there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, there is only one living person, and the thought of it breaks people's hearts

Chuping four years (193 years).

The Central Plains is in turmoil and immortality, all the people are weeping, and all families are covered with hemp.

However, the land of Yizhou is still full of singing and dancing, and the chaos in the Central Plains and the chaos in the world don't seem to have the slightest influence on it.

In the fourth year of Chuping, at the end of February.

Disputes in the Central Plains resumed, and Cao Cao, the governor of Yanzhou in the Han court, and Liu Bei, the general of the captives, led an attack to attack Jibei Kingdom and Taishan County controlled by Wei Ting.

Qingzhou's soldiers were weak and unable to resist, and even fell into the city. At the same time, Sun Ce, who was stationed in the north of Xuzhou, also responded to the imperial edict to attack Taishan County in the northwest, in response to the offensive of Cao Cao and Liu Bei's two armies.

Attacking from both sides, the three sides marched, and the guard of Taishan County hurriedly sent a messenger to ask for support.

Qingzhou Muyuan Tan knew that Taishan County and Jibei Kingdom must not be lost, Yuan Shao put him above Qingzhou Mu, but his performance could no longer be described as bad.

Because of the weak combat effectiveness of the Qingzhou soldiers, the Taishan Yellow Turban Army, which was already a turtle in the urn, successfully escaped from the encirclement and entered Yingzhou.

The northern part of Xuzhou, which was originally controlled, also lost most of it under the attack of the Han army, leaving only four cities still in hand.

If he loses Jibei Kingdom and Taishan County this time, then his position is really in jeopardy.

Yuan Shao ascended the throne as the emperor, called the emperor and established the system, and everyone was rewarded.

But the position of the prince is still undecided.

Yuan Tan received the news that Yuan Shao was very angry about his actions in Qingzhou, and his original plan to confer him the crown prince was postponed, as if he already had the intention of replacing him.

Yuan Shao had three sons, the eldest son Yuan Tan, the second son Yuan Xi, and the third son Yuan Shang.

After Yuan Shao unified Jiyou and Youzhou, he put his eldest son Yuan Tan in charge of Qingzhou, his second son Yuan Xi in charge of Youzhou, and his third son Yuan Shang stayed by his side.

Yuan Xi, as the governor of Youzhou, recruited new soldiers and trained soldiers. Wuhuan, the three counties, did not cause any rebellion, and he had a good relationship with Xianbei in the north.

And open border markets in Xianbei and Beidi to trade goods, the people's livelihood in Youzhou is healthy, and the military is strong.

Gongsun Zan has been trapped in Yizhong for a long time. At that time, during the war in Dongjun, Gongsun Zan wanted to take advantage of the war in the south to reoccupy Youzhou, but he was also defeated by Yuan Xi, and he retreated into Yijing again, strengthening his defenses again. No more comebacks.

But today's Qingzhou is already a mess.

At that time, Yuan Tan led the army to defeat Tian Kai, the governor of Qingzhou appointed by Gongsun Zan, and expelled Liu Bei, Prime Minister of Pingyuan, and finally occupied the entire Qingzhou.

The Yuan family has always been generous, and the public opinion in various places is not bad. When Yuan Tan was first appointed as the Qingzhou pastor to manage Qingzhou, the people all over the place thought that they could reduce some burdens, and the powerful family was quite happy. The attitude of the aristocratic family is not good, they come when they are called and go away when they are called.

However, after Yuan Tan entered Qingzhou, he was full of tricks.

First of all, the credit group is small, and it is easy to be close to words, wanting extravagance and lust, and not knowing the difficulties of farming.Hua Yan and Kong Shun are both treacherous and sycophants. They believe that they are confidantes, and they only use Wang Xiu and others to prepare officials.

Wang Xiu, as Qingzhou Biejia, led Qingzhou soldiers to help Zang Ba. Yuan Tan sent Hua Yan as a captain to accompany the army. Although Hua Yan was a captain, he actually didn't know much about military affairs.

The defeat of the Xuzhou East Route Army, at least [-]% of the responsibility should be attributed to Hua Yan.

When the two sides were evenly matched and fighting fiercely, Hua Yan was so timid that he led his troops to flee north.

This enabled Zhu Zhi to defeat Sun Guan and defeat Zang Ba's army.

Hua Yan was also convicted for this and was taken into prison in Qingzhou.

Let the wives and younger brothers lead the troops inside, to steal the grass, go out of the market wells, and plunder the fields. Don't let the two generals recruit soldiers to the county. Among them, send troops to hunt and hunt, like hunting birds and beasts.

There are tens of thousands of households in the city, and the registration is not enough to make a few hundred.

Recruit magi, not on it.

If you don't go to the military period, you can't be guilty of living in the clan party.

During Yuan Tan's several years as a shepherd in Qingzhou, he used improper personnel, plundered everywhere, and unfair rewards and punishments, which greatly lost the hearts of the people.

Rumors that Yuan Shao wanted to make Yuan Shang the crown prince had even begun to spread in Yecheng.

In this way, Jibei Kingdom and Taishan County must not give up.

Yuan Tan also knew what he did wrong. This time he almost showed his last hole card, and even went to the battle in person, leading the army to help Jibei Kingdom and Taishan County in person.

In the fourth year of Chuping (193), March [-]nd.

Yuan Tan ordered Qi's three armies and summoned a total of [-] soldiers.

This time, among the [-] soldiers, there are quite a few elite soldiers. These soldiers have fought under Yuan Tan's tent with the army led by Tian Kai, the governor of Qingzhou established by Gongsun Zan, and they have all seen it. The sword soldiers, who have been on the battlefield, are also the last elite and family property under Yuan Tan's command. Yuan Tan even asked [-] Jizhou soldiers to come to help.

When the army set out to march, Yuan Tan ordered Hua Yan, who had fled before the battle, to be beheaded.

Then [-] Qingzhou soldiers were divided into two groups.

Led by Wang Xiu, they entered the northern part of Xuzhou and reconciled with Zang Ba, and continued to march south with Zang Ba, intending to collect the lost land in Xuzhou and expel the side forces led by Sun Ce from Taishan County.

This time Yuan Tan did not send any cronies to follow him, but handed over the command of [-] Qingzhou soldiers to Wang Xiu.

The other route was led by Yuan Tan himself, with a total of 5000 Qingzhou soldiers and [-] Jizhou soldiers, a total of [-] people, who rushed south to aid Jibei Kingdom and Taishan County.

Cao Cao heard that Yuan Tan led troops to the aid of the two counties, and knew that Liu Bei had only [-] Youzhou cavalry under his command and would not be able to stop him, so he led more than [-] Yanzhou soldiers under his command to the north to help Liu Bei.

March [-]th.

Wei Jun Chen Bing 5000 people were stationed in Zhu'a City, Pingyuan County.

The Han Army Chen Bing 6000 people were stationed [-] miles south of Zhu'a City.

Yanzhou Biejia Chengong and Yanzhou engaged in Manchong each led 3000 troops and stationed in Taishan and Guishan in Taishan County.

Yuzhou sent 6000 troops to capture Juping, a city in the northwest of Taishan County at the junction of Yuzhou and Lu.

The Wei army in Taishan County can get assistance from Qingzhou from the northeast, but the Jibei Kingdom is already surrounded by groups.

The guard general of the Wei army in Jibei country can only fortify the wall and clear the field, lead the remnant soldiers, stick to the city, and wait for rescue.

The war was about to break out, and the two sides continued to mobilize and increase their troops.

This time, the competition between Jibei Kingdom and Taishan County became the fuse of a new round of disputes.

Zang Ba received the support of [-] Qingzhou soldiers, regrouped and led his troops southward, intending to regain control of Langya Kingdom.

Zhu Zhi led Xuzhou soldiers all the way to the north and stationed at Yun[yùn] Pavilion in the west of Jiwu Mountain.

When Zang Ba was defeated, he retreated to the northeast of Xuzhou, leaving only four cities and one mountain, and this mountain was Jiwu Mountain.

Mount Jiwu lies across the northern central area of ​​Langya Kingdom. If you want to enter the right side from the left side in the northern part of Langya Kingdom, you must not bypass Mount Jiwu.

March [-]th.

Just when the battle of Zhu'a was about to break out, Zang Ba also led the army to the east of Yunting.

Zang Ba has 3000 Xuzhou soldiers and 2 Qingzhou soldiers, for a total of 3000 soldiers.

The main general of the Han army is Zhu Zhi, who has 7000 Xuzhou soldiers and [-] Danyang soldiers under his command, although the difference between the two sides is [-].

But Zhu Zhi had more elites, and Sun Ce was attacking Gai County in Taishan County in Gonglai Mountain not far from Langya Kingdom, and he had [-] soldiers under his command.

So in the Yunting battle, Zhu Zhi actually had the upper hand.

It's just that the Han court had the upper hand in the battles in Xuzhou and Qingzhou, but the situation in Luoyang was dominated by the Wei court.

Yuan Shao, who had relieved most of his worries, was finally able to put [-]% of his energy on Han Ting.

With Baixing and Fukouxing in hand, the Yellow Turban Army retreated into Guanzhong and lay dormant, temporarily having no strength left to advance eastward. Now Yuan Shao's situation can be said to be the best ever.

Yuan Shao naturally would not let go of this excellent opportunity.

Yecheng was founded, and the officials were rewarded.

What happened in Luoyang, as well as the matter of obtaining the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, have been spread all over the world under the help of Qi Mei.

Although the Han court immediately issued an edict angrily denouncing Yuan Shaoxing's rebellious act, under the guise of destiny, he burned down the imperial temple of the Han family, and the jade seal was fake.

But some things don't really matter what the truth is.

What matters is whether anyone believes it.

The dragon chanting in Luoyang, the dragon chanting in Yecheng, and the Jade Seal of Chuanguo on display all proved to the world that Yuan Shao seemed to have really been ordered by the heavens and was favored by the destiny.

After Yuan Shao proclaimed himself emperor and established a system in Yecheng, he didn't first think of enjoying himself and making good fortune.

The outbreak of the battle between Xuzhou and Qingzhou made Yuan Shao feel threatened.

If Wei Ting wants to develop, the best period of development is undoubtedly now.

Occupying Luoyang is tantamount to taking the initiative, and Taipingdao retreated across the board, which also gave him a safe rear environment.

Yuan Shao once again mobilized the Youzhou army to go south, and at the same time summoned the county soldiers from the counties of Jizhou to go south in a large scale.

After the founding of the country, Ju Yi and Gao Lan were named generals who conquered the south and generals who conquered the east, respectively, because of their performance in the previous battle of Dongjun.

Yuan Shao sent two people to lead the army, and stationed troops at Liyang in Wei County and Huai County in Hanoi County to cross the river.

Afterwards, Yuan Shao dispatched the left general Han Meng to lead the army in Luoyang area to attack the Xuanmen Pass.

Of the eight passes in Luoyang, only Guangcheng Pass, Xuanmen Pass, and Hangu Pass are no longer in Yuan Shao's hands, and the other five passes are already occupied by Wei Jun.

Because of Xu An's backhand at the beginning, Yuan Shao acquired several of the passes at Yuan Shao, so the passage was also cut off, allowing the Wei army to ensure the safety of the Luoyang area, without much scruples to attack the revolving door pass.

Revolving Gate Pass is the eastern barrier of Luoyang and the western barrier of Yanzhou.

In order to stabilize Yanzhou, Hanting must not lose the revolving door.

Once the revolving door pass is lost, it will face the risk of being surrounded by the Wei army in Huai County and the revolving door pass. In addition, the Wei army stationed in Liyang will be even more difficult to resist.
