The World of Yellow Sky

It was that sentence that made Gongsun Zan choose to believe what Liu Xie said.

"If a husband builds a major event, he should not avoid petty grievances. If the general surrenders today, the rank can be preserved, but how about punishment? The river is here, and I will not break my promise."

This sentence is exactly the promise that Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu made to Zhu Yu.

Zhu Tuan was one of the accomplices who killed Liu Xiu's brother Liu Yan, and he firmly opposed Liu Xiu's Northern Expedition sent by Liu Xuan, fearing that Liu Xiu would retaliate after he surrendered.

After Liu Xiu proclaimed himself emperor, he began to unify the world and sent troops to attack Luoyang, which was guarded by Zhu Tuan.

Zhu Tuan held on for several months, and after Liu Xiu promised to ignore his previous revenge, Zhu Tuan chose to surrender. Liu Xiu later worshiped him as General Pingdi and named him Marquis of Fugou.

Liu Xiu swore on the water of the Yellow River that he would not pursue Zhu Tuan's crimes, and he did.

Gongsun Zan killed Liu Yu, just like Zhu Tuan killed Liu Yan.

At this time, the oath is still believable, especially the words written by the monarch in black and white.

It's no joke at this time.

After all, at this time, Sima Zhongda hadn't made an oath to Luoshui, but later he broke his oath and slaughtered Cao Shuang's three clans.

Ta Dun had already returned to Wuhuan of the Three Counties at this time, and the current Wuhuan of the Three Counties had not acted yet. After all, what Xu An said was the seventh day they received the order. At that time, it was when Liu Shijun attacked You On the fifth day after the state, the second day when Gongsundu attacked.

The transmission of letters in this era is based on the transmission of people and horses, and there are time intervals. These times have been calculated by Xu An in the plan.

The purpose is to be able to coordinate as much as possible.

The reason for the extension of two days is that after Yuan Xi was threatened by the three parties at the same time, he would definitely summon the cavalry from the Wuhuan tribe of the three counties to participate in the battle. At this time, the Wuhuan tribe of the three counties, as the internal support, only needed to turn against him at the critical moment. With one blow, the victory of the battle can be easily established.

Yizhou is far away, and the road to Shu is difficult to travel. Even if it is an urgent military order of eight hundred miles, it will take a long time to send the general order to Yizhou.

Yizhou had just received the military order at this time, and the messenger for the return was still on the way.

But at this time, the Battle of Jingzhou had actually broken out. Xu Huang led the Xiliang Camp, the two Ruishi Battalions and the trapped camp to the south of Wuguan to enter Nanyang County, Jingzhou.

Zhang Yang also led the Hanzhong soldiers out of Shangyong and launched an attack on Nanyang County to assist in the battle.

According to the latest news from Yingwei in Jingzhou, Liu Biao sent Cai Mao to lead Zhang Yun and Huang Zhong to lead Jingzhou [-] troops north to Nanyang County for defense.

He also ordered Huang Zu to go south, and handed over most of the navy to Huang Zu.

Through this news, although Xu An did not receive a letter from Yizhou, he knew that it must be Gan Ning who led the navy to fight and achieved certain results, which prompted the Jingzhou army to divide its troops and go south.

Everything is developing in an orderly manner according to the plan, and everything is expected.

There is also the best news, a news from Chang'an.

The transaction was completed in the Western Regions, and the caravan loaded with special products from the Western Regions had arrived in Chang'an City.

Most of the caravans going to the Western Regions were official caravans of the Yellow Turban Army.

The Silk Road is worthy of being a road of wealth. Apart from spices, the most brought back are actually gold and silver treasures.

The treasury of the Ming Kingdom, which was already on the verge of bottoming out, became full in an instant.

The caravans returning from the Western Regions made a lot of money, which also caused a lot of rumors about the Western Regions to spread in the Ming Dynasty.

There are even rumors that there is a deep valley in the Western Regions, and the bottom of the valley is full of gold and silver and countless copper coins.

The number of people who want to go to the Western Regions keeps increasing. Originally, there were not many people who signed up for the relocation plan announced by the Ming Court, but within a few days after the caravan returned to the city, the quota of 5000 people was already filled.

Xu An breathed out a foul breath, he was very confident now, and his heart was no longer as solemn as when he just received the news more than ten days ago.

On the school field, more than [-] yellow scarf soldiers stood in formation, with yellow scarves fluttering and flags fluttering, which looked as spectacular as a yellow ocean at first glance.

The sun was shining brightly, but no one complained.

The dense spears and halberds gathered into forests, and the layers of banners almost covered the sky above their heads.

"Minggong."

Xu You drove the horse to Xu An's side and reminded in a low voice.

"It's time."

Xu An looked back from the rolling mountains in the north.

Taihang, Wangwu, this is where he first made his fortune.

In front of him, the army formation was well organized, and countless soldiers were divided into two sides in front of his eyes, leaving a wide road for him.

Banners stand on both sides of the road.

Swords and guns are like wheat ears, spears and halberds are like hemp forests, and banners cover the sky and connect the sky and the earth.

All are waiting for him.

Xu An took a breath, and gently kicked the horse's belly with his legs.

The mane of the war horse shook, and it stepped forward with four hooves, slowly moving forward.

All the soldiers stood tall with their heads held high, and their figures were even straighter than the spears in their hands.

The horseshoes churned, but the sound of the horseshoes, which was originally not loud, was surprisingly clear in the silent school grounds.

"call"

Xu An lightly pulled the reins, the BMW under his seat snorted, and then slowed down.

Xu An fell from his horse to the ground, and the high platform was right in front of him.

Standing on the high platform, everyone in the entire school field can see his figure.

The messengers are all around the high platform, and they will ensure that everyone on the school grounds can understand Xu An's words.

Under the high platform, 33 flags stand on both sides.

In front of the high platform, the Ming army's military formation was strict and fierce, and it looked as spectacular as the sea of ​​clouds in the sky at first glance.

Xu An stepped on the steps and walked up the high platform. Every time he took a step, his pace quickened a little, as if it became more determined.

The eyes of all the soldiers on the school field were focused on Xu An.

Standing on the high platform, Xu An looked at the faces of the soldiers below him.

What he saw with his eyes was no longer the faces full of pain and numbness in Guangzong back then, but the faces with incomparable determination and sparkling eyes.

Xu An glanced at the manuscript on the low platform in front of him, then raised his head.

He has already remembered the content of the manuscript clearly, and it is hard to miss a single word.

"Walking on the road, the world is for the public."

Xu An didn't read the manuscript, but looked at the crowd on the school field.

His high-pitched, generous tone spread to all directions of the school grounds through the loudspeaker.

The surrounding yellow turban warriors repeated what Xu An said, and spread it further afield.

"I gave my hometown Yebuyi, who was pushed by the people because of the great chaos in the world, and led his teachers back to the mountains. He lived in a place in the form of Bingzhou and got the danger of the Eighthing Pass. It has been ten or two years now."

Since the first year of Zhongping, a series of past events have surfaced in Xu An's mind.

At first he just wanted to live.

At the beginning, he just wanted to live, just wanted to have a bite to eat...

It's just that in such a world, there is no place for a poor man like him.

This world is the world of those powerful families, not the world of ordinary people.

"It reaches Dawan in the west, connects Taihang in the east, controls Bashu in the south, reaches the desert in the north, and the six lands of Bing, Liang, Zhong, Yi, You, and the Western Regions are all included in the territory. I own half of the world."

One after another, familiar faces passed quickly before Xu An's eyes.

Zhang Liang, Zhang Bao, He Yi, Huang Shao, Sui Gu, Huang San, Zuo Miao Zhang Ba, Zhang Kai...

For more than ten years, he has never dared to relax. He knows very well what will happen once he stops.

He couldn't bear the consequences of that...

Xu An's voice gradually became firmer, and gradually became more high-spirited.

"Hailing red millet, the accumulation of storage is exhausted; Jiangpu yellow flag, how far is the contribution to the tripod?"

"Yan pecked at the emperor's grandson, knowing that Han Zuo was about to end; the empress Longmi knew the decline of Xia Ting."

"The sound of the squad moves and the north wind rises, and the sword qi rushes and the south fights flat. If the sound is silent, the mountains will collapse, and the situation will change if it is loud. If you use this to control the enemy, no enemy will be invincible; if you use this to attack the city, no city will be able to overcome it!"

The scorching fighting intent burned in Xu An's eyes.

"I respectfully accept the destiny of heaven, and dare not to be safe. Fang wants to send troops to the east to conquer the Han and Wei dynasties, save the people from the misery, and restore the peace of China!"

On the school field, all the soldiers were holding their weapons tightly.

Xu An raised his right hand, clenched it into a fist, and slammed it heavily on the low platform in front of him, said in a loud voice.

"Worrying that the people don't know, they will be my enemy instead, and the Jie family will go south, sinking deep."

"So let me tell you first: When the soldiers arrive, the people should not avoid them."

"My order is serious, and there will be no crimes!"

Chapter 771 Running for thousands of miles, starting a prairie fire!

On the official road in Hanoi County, the dust is flying, almost covering the sky and the sun.

The wheels rolled and the horseshoes sounded like thunder.

Countless yellow scarves fluttered against the wind.

The Yellow Turban cavalry and carriages of the brigade were galloping towards the east.

At a glance, there is no banner.

The flag is against the wind, which is not a small burden for the soldiers and horses holding the flag. All the flags have been gathered and placed in the carriages accompanying the team.

The reason why Xu An mobilized a large number of horses and even second-class horses this time, as well as a large number of carriages, was to allow all the infantry under his command to have means of transportation.

What Xu An had to do was to change the [-] infantry under his command from simple infantry to mounted infantry.

Although soldiers and sharp soldiers are infantry, they have all received equestrian training. Although there is no way to achieve the superb riding skills enough to be cavalry, they can easily ride on horseback.

Riding a horse is not an easy task, and fighting on horseback is even more difficult. To be able to fight on horseback, it will take one month and one year.

The so-called horse-riding infantry usually used horses to travel, and when encountering an enemy, they would dismount and form a formation to meet the enemy.

The Han Ting made a sudden northern expedition and made thorough preparations. Xu An knew very well that the Han Ting had already taken the reaction time and marching speed of the Yellow Turban Army into consideration.

The Han army will definitely launch a full-scale attack before the estimated time and have a decisive battle with the Wei army.

The reason why Xu An ordered the brigade to stay for two days before arriving at Zhiguanxing was firstly to preserve the strength of the soldiers, and secondly to make Han Ting think that everything was going according to expectations, thinking that the main force of the Yellow Turban Army led by him would only It can march eighty miles and mislead the rebellion of the Han court.

The Taihang Yellow Turban Army and the Youzhou Yellow Turban Army belonged to partial divisions, and the Han court naturally would not take too much control. Only the main force of the Yellow Turban Army, the Taihang Yellow Turban Army and the Youzhou Yellow Turban Army, were not powerful enough to affect the development of the situation.

What needs to be cared about is only the main force of the Yellow Turban Army.

Xu An knew that not long after his troops left Zhiguanxing, both the Han army and the Wei army would know the news that he led the troops to go out soon, and even the Yingwei would secretly assist the Han and Wei courts to confirm the receipt of the news. .

Because this step is the most critical step, both the Han and Wei armies believed that the speed of the Yellow Turban Army's rapid march was seventy or eighty miles, which is still the speed of marching in the interior.

Marching in enemy territory, considering the physical strength of the soldiers, the dangers they may encounter, and the delivery of supplies, I am afraid that the marching speed will be much slower, and it will be reduced to sixty miles per day.

Xu An just wanted the Han and Wei courts to think so.

Both sides of the official road have already been cleared by the Taihang army led by Yu Po, and the main cities in the western and central part of Hanoi County have also been occupied by Yu Po.

Hundreds of elite cavalry from Eagle Wolf Guards followed Yu Du into Hanoi County, and their task was to prevent any possible leaks.

Yu Du also set up checkpoints on the roads and bridges everywhere, only allowed to enter, not allowed to go out, patrolling day and night, without any relaxation.

After the first wave of deliberately released news, all news will be strictly controlled in order to keep it as secret as possible.

Land communications had to go through strict investigations, as well as the surveillance of Eagle Wolf Wei Tiqi, so it was difficult for both the demon and the embroidered messenger to pass on much news.

As for the so-called swan geese and flying pigeons, Xu An had never seen such a means of military communication.

Along with the news that the Yellow Turban Army had left the customs, there was also a call to arms about the Eastern Expedition to the Han and Wei Dynasties.

The proclamation is not only spread to Fanyang, but also issued to the world.

"Rumble Rumble"

The sound of horseshoes was like thunder, and the Ming army was quickly passing through the official road.

Holding the reins tightly, Xu An led the horse up to a mound.
