The World of Yellow Sky

There are twelve counties in Yizhou, and now the Yellow Turban Army has occupied five counties.

In fact, most of Berkshire is in the hands of the Yellow Turban Army, and only some cities are in the hands of the Yizhou Army. However, most of these places are isolated and lack of assistance. Only with a few defenders, these cities will not Become an obstacle to the Yellow Turban Army.

It can be said that the Yellow Turban Army has actually occupied six counties.

The six counties in the north of Yizhou can be said to be the most important and richest places in Yizhou.

The population in the six counties of Nanzhong is mixed, and there are many tribes of other cultures. These tribes are collectively called Nanman.

Therefore, the economic and military potential is lower than that of the six northern counties.

Holding an umbrella for sunshade, Xu An walked on the horse path of the city wall, thinking about the next plan, and walked in the direction of the government office.

Xu Hong and the others didn't hold an umbrella. They stood against the scorching sun, their eyes narrowed slightly, and they held the Yanling Saber on their waists to watch their surroundings, guarding Xu An's side.

Since entering Shu, Xu An has encountered two waves of assassinations.

The first time was when Wuyang City, the prefecture of Qianwei County, was captured.

When Xu An entered the city, more than [-] assassins from powerful families broke out in the market, hiding their crossbows in hidden places.

The guard Teng Xiangwei immediately reacted, and the assassin was killed or captured alive in just a short moment.

However, they swallowed the poison at the last moment, and all the assassins died on the spot, without giving the eagle wolf guard a chance to interrogate.

The Eagle Wolf Guard then settled in Wuyang City, and the case was handed over to Zhao Ji, the governor of the Wolf Guard Township.

Then the second wave of assassinations happened again soon. The eagle wolf guards who were in charge of cleaning up the scene had already cleared the field ahead of time, but they didn't know what method those assassins used to transport several bows and arrows into the city. When Xu An left the city and was about to reach the city gate, three shooters Shooting arrows at the same time in the distance, trying to kill Xu An.

Although the distance was far, it was still discovered by the accompanying Tengxiang guard. Two of the three arrows deviated and missed Xu An, and the other arrow was blocked by a Tengxiang guard who was closest to Xu An when it was shot.

Seeing that there was no way out, the next three assassins committed suicide by taking poison without leaving any clues.

Although there was no proof of death and the assassin's face was disfigured, Zhao Ji quickly saw clues in it.

The detectives of the six doors identified the martial arts practiced by the assassins, and the Tiqi of the Eagle Wolf Guard searched the whole city, and also found a secret passage in the city to communicate with the inside and outside of the city.

Then they invited local rangers to identify the corpses, and traced all the way to find the families connected with those assassins.

Those who sent people to assassinate were none other than the six most powerful families in Qianwei County, also known as the six surnames of Qianwei.

Before Zhao Ji presented the dossier to Xu An's desk, Ma Chao and Pang De led troops to arrest according to the order.

Four of them were captured on the spot, and the other two ran into the Wubao in the forest and could not defend themselves.

However, although they couldn't defend themselves, even if they hid in the tortoise shell, it was still useless to the Yellow Turban Army.

In some places, the narrow counterweight catapult cannot enter, but the relatively small torsion catapult can indeed enter with ease.

Coupled with the six-door policeman who is very good at martial arts, and the assistance of the Eagle Wolf Guard, the two fortresses were also conquered one after another.

The main branch of the six surnames was imprisoned in Wuyang City in Qianwei County, and the other branch branches were also arrested.

Today is the final trial day for this case, and the presiding judge is Zhao Ji, and Wei Lu, the chief judge of the Judiciary, is the deputy judge.

Although the laws of the Yellow Turban Army have been changed several times and many contents have been rectified, most of them still follow the laws of the Han Dynasty.

Assassinate the king and kill the king, plot a rebellion, punish the family according to the law, although Xu An is not a king or an emperor.

But Xu An is the Taoist leader of the Taiping Dao, no matter what, these assassinating families must not be lightly spared.

Zhao Ji sentenced Qian to the main branch of each family with six surnames, and sentenced them to beheaded. Most of the other offshoots were sentenced to labor reform, and the children were raised by special personnel. After the establishment of the later sales school, they were sent to the sales school. Middle dependents.

In the Han Dynasty, the clans were one, prospered together, and lost together.

The six surnames of Qianwei are connected with each other and marry each other. They have already been closely connected. Their six surnames occupy more than 80.00% of the land in Qianwei County. The mines, forest farms, and lakes are basically under the names of the six surnames of Qianwei. They can be said to be the entire Qianwei The most powerful person in the county.

The main branch can be said to enjoy all the glory and wealth.

Gan Ning is famous for his splendid sails, his steps are like chariots and riders, and his water is like a light boat.

But Qianwei's luxurious life is unimaginable, and it is dozens of times more extravagant than Gan Ning's.

Its offshoots are also honored because of this, and most of them can easily live a lifetime because they even have to work because of the ancestral property left behind.

The laws of later generations did not actually apply to the Han Dynasty.

According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, Zhao Ji only killed his main branch, which was already the lightest punishment.

Although Xu An hesitated, he still did not refute.

Handle it according to the law, this is his charter and cannot be changed.

The law is wrong, and the law can be changed, but since the law is promulgated, once a crime occurs, it must be dealt with according to the current law, otherwise the so-called "Taiping Law" will become a joke and become a dead letter. People trust the laws made by Taipingdao.

the result of the final judgment.

Qianwei's main branch of the six surnames was all beheaded, and the offshoots were all sentenced to reform through labor.

The Eagle Wolf Guard held public trial meetings in various places in Qianwei County, and began to collect evidence extensively and deal with offshoots.

Qianwei's family property with six surnames, including fields, mines, woodlands, and lakes, were all confiscated.

As soon as the verdict came out, news of it quickly spread throughout almost the entire Yizhou with the help of the Eagle Wolf Guard.

And then a piece of news came from the east, which once again ignited public opinion in Yizhou.

On the Baidi City and Jiangguan Chengguan, the flags changed, and the flags on them became the flags of the Taiping Road overnight.

Zhao Zhi sneaked all the way, disguised as a deserter from Jiangzhou City, and fled all the way into Baidi City.

Then, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, he violently launched an attack and took control of Baidi City at night.

However, Jiangguan did not find any abnormality in Baidi City. Soon after dawn, the Jingzhou soldiers received the news that the Yellow Turban Army had invaded from the sentry post.

So the Jingzhou army traveled to Luoyang to let the people who arrived later pass through Jiangguan and go to a safe place in Jingzhou.

But I didn't expect that Zhao Zhi had arranged a lot of Dongzhou soldiers to mix in it. After entering Jiangguan, he suddenly broke out. The Jingzhou soldiers in Jiangguan were caught off guard and lost again and again. The Dongzhou soldiers who entered the city quickly controlled the city Door.

Because of the surrender of the Yizhou Army, the Yellow Turban Army knew the layout of Jiangguan and the location of the arsenal.

The Dongzhou soldiers who entered the city set fire to the Guanzhong and caused riots, while attacking the arsenal, and called for their companions. Those Dongzhou soldiers who were slaves in Jiangguan heard the call and joined the attack sequence.

The entire Jiangguan was in chaos.

Then those Yizhou naval forces who were fighting upstream on the river in name for vigilance also launched an attack on the naval camp at Jiangguan at the same time.

At the same time, the troop carrier was put down, and the troops were transported to land to tackle key problems.

Wearing armor and holding sharp knives, the elite Yizhou Yellow Turban Army rushed into Jiangguan. Facing those Jingzhou soldiers who had no time to put on armor or even weapons, it was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.

The Jingzhou army didn't even have a chance to escape. The city gates on both sides were controlled by the Dongzhou soldiers, and the navy of the Yizhou army was on the river.

The last school lieutenant of the Jingzhou Army, Zhang Shuo, and hundreds of Jingzhou troops were trapped in a building ship and could not escape. They had no way to prevent the fall of Jiangguan.

Zhang Shuo finally refused Zhao Zhi's offer to surrender, and ordered his soldiers to dig through the bottom of the ship, and the ship sank into the water.

Zhang Shuo died with the boat. At the last moment, the integrity he showed made people sigh, but this sigh did not change the final outcome.

Zhao Zhi successfully controlled Jiangguan and Baidi City.

The four cities of Badong were also received by the infantry of the Yellow Turban Army who came later, and the Yizhou Yellow Turban Army who came along with the punting downstream arrived at Baidi City. Baidi City and Jiangguan also completely became the Yellow Turban Army. stuff in the bag.

Jiangguan was occupied by the Yellow Turban Army, and Fuling was also occupied by the Yellow Turban Army.

The passage between Yizhou and Jingzhou has been completely cut off by the Yellow Turban Army, and they have no way to get in touch with Jingzhou.

The only place that can be contacted is Jiaozhou, which has never had the slightest communication with the outside world in the south.

But Jiaozhou has been locked down for a long time.

In the fourth year of Zhongping (187), Shi Xie was appointed as the prefect of Jiaozhi.

Zhu Fu, the governor of Jiaozhou, collected heavy taxes from all over the country, which caused resistance and was killed, and the order of the prefecture and county was chaotic.

The internal strife in the Han court is immortal, and the wars have been fought for years. Jiaozhou is located in a remote place, and the influence of the Han court on it has been greatly weakened.

Seeing the disputes in the Central Plains, Shi Xie couldn't help but feel some unreasonable ambitions in his heart.

In name, he was the prefect of Jiaozhi loyal to the Han Dynasty, but in fact he had become a warlord who ruled the counties in south of the Five Ridges of Jiaozhou.

Most of the relatives of the Shi family held important positions in Jiaozhou. Shi Xie successively made petitions to appoint his younger brother, Shiyi, as the prefect of Hepu, his second brother, Xuwen county magistrate Shi? .

After Liu Yan wrote a letter to change the prefecture, Shi Xie had more power.

The Xie brothers are counties together, and the male and the long state are located in Wanli, and their prestige is supreme.

In and out, the bell is ringing, equipped with majesty, the flute is advocating, and the road is full of chariots and riders.There are often dozens of barbarians who burn incense.

The wives and concubines rode in the luggage, and the children rode in the soldiers. At that time, they were very valuable and overwhelmed all the barbarians. Even the former Nanyue king Wei He (that is, Zhao Tuo) was not as prominent as Shi Xie is now.

Strictly speaking, Shi Xie was not even the state shepherd of Jiaozhou, but just a county guard.

But without the Han court admitting, Shi Xie had actually taken control of Jiaozhou.

In the first year of Chuping, Sun Jian marched into Luo with great power and became famous all over the world. Therefore, the Han Dynasty rebuilt its prestige. At that time, the Han court sent envoys to Jiaozhou to appease Shi Xie, hoping to let Shi Xie open the way and re-open the connection with the Central Plains.

Another reason is that the turmoil in Jingnan has not subsided for a long time.

After Shi Xie took control of Jiaozhou, he always wanted to seek development.

The road to Shu is inconvenient, and you can only go south or north. To the south, there are many forests, miasma, and mosquitoes, which are unbearable for soldiers, so Shi Xie thought of developing north.

The turmoil in Jingnan was actually caused by the forces supported by Shi Xie who wanted to enter Jingzhou.

Shi Xie excused the turmoil in the prefecture and the roads were blocked by bandits, so he asked him to take the post of Jiaozhou pastor, so that the prefectures and counties could be cleaned up and the roads opened again.

In the end, Shi Xie got his wish and got the post of Jiaozhou Shepherd. He sent envoys to hand over a certain amount of tribute to the Han court as promised, and reduced the influence on Jingnan, and temporarily stabilized his power in Guiyang County and Lingling County. The southern region did not continue to expand.

Shi Xie began to vigorously support cronies in Jiaozhou, eliminate dissidents, and control the state and county.

Jiaozhou has now become the kingdom of the Shi family.

The only force in Yizhou that can ask for help is Jiaozhou.

But Shi Xie is actually no better than Taiping Road. Even if Shi Xie can really block the attack of the Yellow Turban Army, I am afraid that Yizhou will change its surname to "Shi" from then on.

And if Shi Xie couldn't resist the attack of the Yellow Turban Army, their move would undoubtedly anger the Yellow Turban Army.

Originally, he could still leave some property, at least he could live a stable life, but after angering the Yellow Turban Army, the only end was death and reform through labor.

Working like those farmers in the mines and forest farms, it would be better to kill them directly.

The policy of Taipingdao is that those who are willing to surrender, offer the city actively, or have great achievements can offset part of the guilt, and even if it is not good, they can preserve part of the property to ensure that they can live safely.

They didn't think that Shi Xie could block the advance of the Yellow Turban Army.

The final deadline is September [-]th.

At this time, the weather will gradually turn cold, and the Yellow Turban Army can continue to go south. At that time, the policy of returning to the preferential treatment will change.

As September approached, Jiangguan fell and Qianwei's six surnames were beheaded. Two heavy news came one after another.

Dao Enwei in Taiping went side by side, and those Yizhou aristocratic families who were still vacillating finally chose to surrender.

To live or to die, no one chooses to die.

If it is said that Liu Yan, who originally relied on Dongzhou soldiers, was able to resist, so they can still show an unruly attitude.

Now that there are tens of thousands of soldiers, and the Taiping Dao is in full swing, they can't arouse any resistance at all.

Chapter 712

Bodao City in August is extremely hot, and every breath I take has a feeling of being burned, but there are not many people walking under the sun, and most of them are hiding in the shade.

At this time, only those peasant households were staring at the sun and still working. They were wearing sackcloth and straw hats, waving farm tools, facing the loess and their backs to the sky.

The nuns and aunts eat the lotus, and the children carry the pot of pulp,

Ding Zhuang is in Nangang.

Foot steaming the rustic, burning the sky,

I tried my best to know the heat, but the summer is long.

Whether Liu Yan is in power, or Ren Xian is powerful.

In fact, they don't have much idea. No matter who they are, they need people to farm the land. Their fate is already doomed, and they have determined their own destiny.

Those rebels who were unwilling to accept their fate have become members of the original Yizhou Yellow Turban Army.

The situation in Yizhou has changed again.

But even though it is now under the jurisdiction of Taipingdao, none of them think that Taipingdaohui is any different from Liu Yan and Ren Xian.

In the past, they either planted their own fields, or leased the fields of powerful families, and those who could own their own fields, even if it was a few acres of thin fields, were very few.
