The World of Yellow Sky

Soon, Dongzhou soldiers outside the city were also persuaded.

After their defeat, they became slaves, their families were ruined, and they were full of hatred for the Yizhou Army.

Zhao Zhi knew the enmity between Dongzhou soldiers and Yizhou soldiers, so he just asked the Yizhou Yellow Turban Army outside the city to select more than 50 young and strong men, and first divide them into teams of [-] people and bring them into the city.

Then in the city, the 50 Dongzhou soldiers were subdivided into ten people and one ten. In the Yizhou Yellow Turban Army, 100 people were selected as the commanders, and [-] people were selected as the corps leaders to manage these Dongzhou soldiers. Dongzhou soldiers issued long guns as weapons.

The rest of the Dongzhou soldiers were left outside the city, and no weapons were issued.

There are 1000 or [-] Dongzhou soldiers outside Baidi City. Zhao Zhi's army is full of more than [-] soldiers, and they have to be scattered in various places to guard important places. The strength of the troops is stretched.

Although these Dongzhou soldiers seem to be isolated and helpless, according to normal logic, they can only survive by relying on the Yellow Turban Army anyway.

But it is hard to guarantee that no fool is self-righteous, or completely overwhelmed by hatred, and does something out of the ordinary.

At that time, let alone not being able to win Jiangguan, it is possible for him to turn against him, lose Baidi City, and even lose his life.

So Zhao Zhi didn't let all the Dongzhou soldiers enter the city, but selected some of them to enter the city, and immediately after entering the city, he strongly controlled the Dongzhou soldiers.

After the Dongzhou soldiers entered the city, the Yizhou Army in the two concentrated military buildings had all chosen to surrender.

The general does not know the soldier, and the soldier does not know the general.

The Yellow Turban Army never arrived, which also reduced their vigilance to a minimum.

In the dreamland, these former robes suddenly wore yellow scarves, and they didn't recognize them at all.

They only knew that the Yellow Turban Army suddenly appeared in front of them as in the myths, just like the heavenly soldiers and generals in the myths and legends.

No one thought of any resistance at all, their weapons were not placed in the barracks, and there was no time to put on their armor.

The Yizhou Yellow Turban Army broke into the barracks without encountering too much resistance at all.

Soon, all the Yizhou troops in the two barracks who were still alive surrendered.

The Yizhou Yellow Turban Army broke into the barracks, shouting to kneel down and not to kill. All those who did not kneel down were beheaded without hesitation.

There is no sympathy in fighting in battle, either you die or I die, there is no room for mercy.

The turmoil in Baidi City subsided after less than two quarters of an hour, without attracting too much attention.

The sailors at the port sent several people to investigate what happened in Baidi City, but all the spies they sent were tied up by the Tiqi of the Eagle Wolf Guard.

These sailors can walk on flat ground, walk like flying, brave and good at fighting on the warships in rivers and rivers, but in the mountains and forests, they are as weak as children in front of the experienced Yinglang Weitiqi, and the result is naturally no suspense.

The sailors at the port were frightened by the fact that the investigating sailors did not report the information for a long time. They boarded the warship and were fully alert, paying attention to the wind and grass around the port. If there was something wrong, they would immediately raise the anchor. , leave the port.

But soon, a group of Qingqi came from Baidi City on the top of the mountain.

A personal guard beside Gan Zhao was brought down by the Yizhou Yellow Turban Army, and informed the sailors at the port that Gan Zhao had been captured, and that their lord Gan Ning had also been captured in the Battle of Chengdu, and most importantly, that Gan's Zong Zhang is now in the hands of the Yellow Turban Army.

When all the sailors at the port learned that Gan Zhao and the head of the Gan family had been captured, they all panicked.

Now that Gan Zhao has been captured, although they can walk now, how can they walk.

Gan Zhao is Gan Ning's younger brother and their current chief general, and many of these sailors are members of the Linjiang Gan clan and Gan Ning's clan.

Although the news of Gan Ning's capture came from the mouths of these soldiers who called themselves the Yellow Turban Army, everyone couldn't help but believe it.

There are different opinions about the Battle of Chengdu, and there are all kinds of rumors.

But the final results are all unified, that is, the Yellow Turban Army won the battle, and it was a big victory. The main force of the Yizhou Army was incorporated, and all the Dongzhou soldiers chose to surrender.

Gan Ning has not heard from Gan Ning for such a long time, probably because something happened during the Battle of Chengdu.

Although everyone was suspicious, they still did not leave the port and sent envoys to negotiate with the Yellow Turban Army.

Zhao Zhi knew that these sailors would not believe their empty words, so they didn't want these sailors to join them immediately, so they just asked them not to leave the port, so that Gan Zhao's life would be safe.

When dawn broke, Zhao Zhi had already taken control of the whole city.

Ren Fu's head, as well as the heads of a group of Yizhou army generals and schools were cut off, and passed on to the whole city, and then to the gathering place of Dongzhou soldiers outside the city and the port of the navy.

Naturally, everyone was no stranger to Ren Fu's appearance, as well as the heads of the Yizhou Army generals.

The vengeance was avenged, and all the Dongzhou soldiers were grateful to Zhao Zhi for this. However, Zhao Zhi was still quite cautious, and only allowed [-] Dongzhou soldiers to get the weapons, and the rest of the Dongzhou soldiers did not mobilize.

And seeing Ren Fu and the heads of the Yizhou Army generals in Baidi City, all the soldiers of the Yizhou Army in Baidi City were all ashen-faced, facing the yellow scarf holding a shining ring sword and holding a long spear The army did not dare to raise the heart of resistance.

The county magistrates of the four cities did not expect such a change at all. Their soldiers were scarce. After the Yizhou Yellow Turban Army escorted the county magistrates of the four cities to visit the barracks, the soldiers of the four cities were also wiped out. The last thought .

The generals of the Yizhou Army, the leaders and the patriarch of the powerful family were all wiped out, and the leader was lost. Now the Yizhou Army is in disarray.

When Zhao Zhi walked into the Baidi City government office again, the patriarchs and patriarchs of more than [-] powerful families had already sat down on the desks on both sides and waited for a long time.

Among the government offices of Baidi City, dancers shuttled back and forth in the past, singing and dancing.

But now earth-shaking changes have taken place.

There is no fine wine or delicacies on the desk, only a dagger and a piece of yellow paper.

There are no dancers or musicians in the mansion, only the murderous yellow scarf guards in military uniforms and holding knives in their hands.

When all the patriarchs and patriarchs heard Zhao Zhi's footsteps, they all raised their heads and looked towards the door in unison.

Standing at the door, Zhao Zhi was not in a hurry to move forward, but stood in place, looking around at the patriarchs and patriarchs present.

Seeing Zhao Zhi's eyes, the patriarchs and patriarchs of all powerful families all lowered their heads involuntarily, not daring to look directly.

Zhao Zhi strode towards the first seat, where Ren Fu used to sit.

But now Ren Fu's head is still hanging above the gate of the barracks in Baidi City, so naturally there is no way to sit in this position.

Zhao Zhi calmly sat in the first seat, condescendingly looked around at the patriarchs and patriarchs in the house, and spoke slowly and methodically.

"My surname is Zhao, and my first name is Zhi. You can call me Zhao Zhi. You should have heard my name before, right?"

Before Zhao Zhi's words fell, the patriarchs and patriarchs of the powerful families all changed their expressions slightly.

Naturally, they had heard of Zhao Zhi's name, when the Yizhou Yellow Turban Army suddenly rose up.

It was Ma Xiang and Zhao Zhi who gathered thousands of tired people, first killed Mianzhu Ling, attacked Luo County, killed Xi Jian, and then attacked Shu County and Qianwei, destroying the three counties within ten months.

Ma Xiang claimed to be the "Son of Heaven", and there were more than [-] people. He sent troops to break Ba County and kill Zhao Department, the county guard.

It wasn't until Jia Long gathered soldiers behind him, gathered the forces of various families, blocked the passage, and took advantage of the Yizhou Yellow Turban Army's unstable foothold and unfamiliarity with the terrain, defeated the Yizhou Yellow Turban Army in one fell swoop, which made Yizhou land safe.

Zhao Zhi's name used to be on par with Ma Xiang in the Yizhou Yellow Turban Army, and now Zhao Zhi's reputation has already surpassed Ma Xiang.

"Now Baidi City is in the hands of our Yellow Turban army, and Jiangzhou has already been breached by our army. Our Yellow Turban army will be able to reach Jiangguan in a few days."

"Now there are two in front of the patriarchs and patriarchs."

Zhao Zhi ignored the commotion in the room, he knocked on the desk and said calmly.

"First."

"Pick up the dagger on the desk, cut your fingers, and press your fingerprints on the yellow paper in front of you to join my Taipingdao, and then follow my Taipingdao's arrangement and plan, so that you can save your family and life. .”

"second."

Zhao Zhi raised his second finger, and his voice became more and more cold, making people feel a slight chill.

"Everyone pick up the dagger and kill yourself on the spot."

Zhao Zhi looked around at the people in the house and said coldly.

"After the suicide, in order to prevent you from being alone, I will arrange for other members of your clan to follow you to Jiuyou."

Zhao Zhi didn't hide his intention to kill at all, nothing to hide, it was a naked threat.

He is not afraid of these people's disobedience, he has long seen through the nature of these powerful families, and he has also seen through human nature.

People have always been greedy for life and afraid of death, this is instinct.

Although there are always some people who are not afraid of life and death, such people are very few, and he also admires such people.

He could see very clearly that none of the pampered people in the house had the courage and integrity.

Facts have proved that Zhao Zhi has always had a good eye.

He didn't misjudge Xu An, nor did he misjudge the sailors who greeted them, nor did he misjudge the patriarchs and patriarchs of these powerful families.

23 pieces of yellow paper with bloody fingerprints were presented to the desk in front of Zhao Zhi.

He knew that the powerful families in the four cities of Padang had been wiped out by him, and there would be no hindrance in what he could do afterwards.

As long as there is no accident, Jiangguan is in their pocket.

Zhao Zhi smiled contemptuously, his eyes did not rest on anyone in the house, and he walked straight out of the government office of Baidi City.

The wind blowing from the river moved the banners on Baidi City.

The soldiers sent by Jiangguan to inquire about the situation have already been sent back. Although the commotion last night lasted less than a quarter of an hour, the generals of the Jingzhou Army still sent people to inquire about it.

However, although the Yizhou Army and the Jingzhou Army both belong to the Han court in name, Ren Xian has always had other ideas in his mind. The two armies do not belong to each other. , and returned to Jiangguan.

Zhao Zhi was not afraid that the defenders at Jiangguan would think too much.

Because soon, they will suppress the doubts in their hearts.

On the surface of the river, a warship with a fiery red flag has already appeared.

Under the action of the river wind and flowing water, the warship advanced rapidly on the river surface like an arrow off the string, and galloped towards Jiangguan.

Zhao Yi looked back, all actions were running according to their plan, without any mistakes.

Perhaps, after the war, the Yizhou Navy will have three more powerful ships.

The length of Jiangguan is not long, and the next chapter will return to Xu An's perspective.

The strategic significance of Jiangguan and Baidi City is not much different from that of Hanzhong County to Yizhou.

Once you control Jiangguan, you can control the initiative in the war.

Chapter 711 Enwei Parallel

In the fourth year of Chuping (193), August [-]th.

The summer sun is scorching hot, and there is no cloud in the sky.

The Golden Crow perches above the sky, but the divine power it exudes with its gestures has overwhelmed the whole world.

The breeze blows over, and what is rolled up is not a cool wind, but a heat wave, which makes people feel suffocated by the fire.

Yanggu made Qingyao, and lived on high branches on the ninth day.

Standing on the tower, Xu An looked down at the soldiers stationed in the camp outside the city, his eyebrows frowned.

In such hot weather, it is absolutely impossible to march normally. If you march by force, I am afraid that many people will fall down on the marching road.

"Let the military doctors accompanying the army make a decoction to cool down the heat. Except for the guard soldiers, the rest of the soldiers will temporarily enter the tent to escape the heat."

Xu An frowned and looked into the distance, the air was even slightly distorted by the scorching heat.

Although the eaves of the city tower shielded Xu An from the direct sunlight, the heat was still unbearable.

Xu An is only wearing a thin military uniform now, and his battle robe has long been taken off, but he is already sweating a lot during the short distance up to the tower.

"Go back first."

Xu An withdrew his gaze, turned around and walked down the tower.

The most notable feature of the early period of the Little Ice Age was the extreme climate.

Logically speaking, the land of Bashu should not be so hot.

It seems that the plan to liberate the entire territory of Yizhou may have to be postponed for a few months. It will not be possible to continue sending troops south until the summer and autumn, when the temperature drops.

Now Xu An led the troops to enter the eastern part of Qianwei County not long ago, close to Qianwei's vassal state and the Bo (bó) Road in Yuexi County. Due to the hot weather, he had no choice but to stop at Bodao City.

However, after almost two months, Taiping Road has now cleared most of the obstacles.

The entire territory of the five prefectures of Guanghan State, Guanghan County, Hanzhong County, Shu County, and Shu County State were all occupied by the Yellow Turban Army.

There are more than [-] Yizhou troops in Jiangyuan City in Shu County. Under the leadership of Jia Quan, these [-] Yizhou troops are eager to rescue Ren Xian who is trapped in Chengdu.

They still don't know that the Battle of Chengdu is over and Ren Xian has been put to death.

Lu Bu's ambush by the side of the road was not discovered by the Yizhou army eager to rescue Chengdu.

There was no suspense in the final outcome. The Yizhou Army, consisting of more than [-] recruits, was defeated by the ambush led by Lu Bu.

The main general Jia Quan was beheaded by Lu Bu, and nearly ten thousand people were captured in the end. The rest fled into the mountains and forests and could not be found.

As a result, Shu County fell.
