The World of Yellow Sky

Xu An pondered for a moment.

"Send an envoy, designate him as a general of the guard army, temporarily take the fifth-rank military position, and transfer him to the direct subordinate."

"Confess Zhu Ling as General Huaiji, and also lead the fifth-rank military rank, and be transferred directly under him."

Xu You's expression was slightly startled, he hesitated for a moment, but he quickly reacted, and still made a promise.

"The rest of Wei Ting's surrendered generals were all transferred to be military officers, and all the soldiers under his command, as well as the county soldiers in various places, were all transferred to field soldiers."

Although Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao came from a powerful family, they are not from a big family, and their abilities are not bad. It is more than enough to lead a partial teacher, and they can use each other.

As for Chun Yuqiong and other generals under Yuan Shao's command, Xu An had no idea of ​​using them at all.

Could it be that Chunyu Qiong was asked to drink every day in the army and then guard the granary?Or let Admiral Fang Yue fight Hua Xiong?

"The subordinate officials in all counties and cities must be replaced by our own people before this year. The officials appointed by Wei Ting can only serve as deputies at most to help handle government affairs. This matter is handled at your discretion, and I will give you full responsibility. .”

Xu An glanced at Xu You and said.

At present, there are too few people he can use, Jia Xu is more, but Yan Zhong is missing, and Xu You is the only one who follows him and can rely on him.

There are still too few counselors, and they are not enough in many cases.

Although many ministers of Wei Ting surrendered, Xu An did not dare to use them.

Tian Feng and Ju Shou were already dead.

Xin Ping and Xin Pi had fled south.

Chen Lin, Guo Tu, and Chen Lin wrote the call to action, and the articles were acceptable, but I am afraid that it would not be effective to let him govern the place, and Chen Lin was quite stubborn, and had already resigned and left.

As for Guo Tu...

In the original time and space, during the confrontation at Guandu, Cao Cao led his army to attack Wuchao. Guo Tu suggested attacking Cao Ying instead of rescue the granary suggested by Zhang Yun.

Seeing that his proposal failed, Guo Tu was worried that Yuan Shao would blame him, so he falsely accused Zhang He of not doing his best, which led Zhang He to surrender to Cao Cao and Yuan's army fell apart.

Xu An felt that the judge's evaluation of Guo Tu was right.

Guo Tu, the vicious minister, pretended to be a snake's foot, and flattered his rhetoric, making trouble for his relatives.

Guo Tu is indeed enthusiastic, but Xu An knows the details of Guo Tu, so how dare he use Guo Tu and keep Guo Tu to make it more difficult for him?

Xu An felt that the judge's evaluation of Guo Tu was right.

Guo Tu, the vicious minister, pretended to be a snake's foot, and flattered his rhetoric, making trouble for his relatives.

Although Shen Pei and Pang Ji attached themselves to each other, they were only entertaining on the surface without any sincerity.

I am in Mingying, but my heart is in Wei.

The two are Yuan's diehards, and the reason why they belonged is just to preserve Yuan Shao's last bloodline and entrust them with some important affairs, how can Xu An rest assured.

In the final analysis, it is still a question of talent.

After Xu You promised, he began to ask about the candidate for the governor.

"The two prefectures of Jizhou and Youzhou are now under the control of our army. I don't know that these two prefectures, as well as the three northern provinces, are planning to appoint anyone as governor. If officials are reappointed, the position of governor must be determined first."

"After the position of governor is determined, the third division will be determined."

The three northern provinces were to be established, so the candidates for the governors had to be decided first.

The governors of Jizhou and Youzhou also need to settle down quickly, after all, the delay has been long enough.

Xu An pondered for a moment, the three northern provinces plus Youzhou and Jizhou prefectures, there are a total of five governor positions, so Xu An found it difficult to select so many governors at once.

But what Xu You said is also correct. A governor must be elected before the system can be implemented and officials can be replaced.

"Northern Xinjiang Province is located in Mobei, which is quite dangerous. As a governor, it is natural to need to know something about the grassland and the various ministries. At that time, some of the aristocratic families in Hebei will also move there. As a governor, you must not only be able to stabilize the north. The situation in Xinjiang must also be able to suppress them."

Xu An raised his index finger and tapped the armrest lightly.

"Let Li De be the governor of the Northern Xinjiang Province, and let the Du Liao camp move northward to guard the Northern Xinjiang Province."

"Just enough to deter Dingling, Jiankun, and Hujie. Li De did a good job in guarding Danhan Mountain before. The situation in Mobei has been maintained for such a long time, and he is indispensable."

Li De's credit has been accumulating, but he has not been promoted for a long time, and it is time to transfer.

Li De was appointed General Du Liao, and led the Du Liao camp to stay in Meiji, supervised the surrendered Southern Huns, and monitored the Hetao Plain. For a long time, the Du Liao camp lived on the grassland.

The Duliao Battalion was originally composed of soldiers from Xihe County. Their family and relatives all died in the catastrophe in Xihe County. They were already alone, and Li De has not continued.

Although some soldiers in the Liao camp remarried and had children, their families also lived a nomadic life and did not settle down for a long time.

Let Du Liaoying go north to Mobei and go to northern Xinjiang, but in fact, he didn't change his living habits too much.

Whether it is Du Liaoying or Li De, they are full of hatred for the nomadic tribes outside the Great Wall. It is actually the wish of Du Liaoying or Li De to be able to occupy the northern border and preserve the stability of China. Xu An has also passed on the wish to Li De before. Letters were exchanged.

"Let Li De classify the pastures in the northern Xinjiang province into grades. The pastures with rich water and grass will be reserved for the Duliao camp and the people who migrated to the north. Those with a relatively harsh environment and the border areas will be reserved for those powerful families."

"As for Monan and Modong, Monan province has appointed Ji Ang as governor, and Modong province has appointed Liu Shi as governor."

Ji Ang once led the Gepi Yellow Turban Army uprising, and even commanded the Sizhou Million Yellow Turban Army as the leader of the Sizhou Million Yellow Turban Army.

Then after entering Bingzhou, he took the initiative to invite Ying to manage the military affairs. Ji Ang has been in Bingzhou for many years, and he has a good understanding of the situation on the grassland. .

Youzhou is established, and there is no need for the establishment of the two counties' military districts, so Liu Shi naturally needs to be relieved of his post as the military commander of the two counties' military districts.

The best arrangement is to serve as the governor of Modong. After all, Liu Shi is well-known both in Wuhuan of Shanggu and Wuhuan of Three Counties. It is undoubtedly best to hand over the active area to Liu Shi, who can convince the public, and Modong Province is also in the north of the two counties military area.

"The governor of Jizhou is in charge due to poison, and Jizhou is now fixed, so there is no need to continue to maintain the Taihang Military Region."

"Let Xu Rong be the governor of Youzhou. Xu Rong is from Youzhou and is familiar with the affairs of Youzhou. Let him be the governor of Youzhou to quickly restore Youzhou's economy."

"Minggong."

Xu You leaned forward slightly, frowning.

"Is it inappropriate for Xu Rong to be the governor of Youzhou? After all, he and Gongsundu..."

Xu You has no objection to Yu Du being the governor of Jizhou. After all, Yu Du is more than enough to be a governor in terms of position and qualifications.

But it is not appropriate to let Xu Rong be the governor of Youzhou.

Xu You didn't finish his sentence, but Xu An already understood what Xu You meant. Xu An knew from the beginning that Xu You would most likely raise objections.

"I don't need to use people, but I don't need to use people who are suspicious."

"And I want Xu Rong to be the governor of Youzhou because Xu Rong and Gongsun Du have an extra layer of relationship. Appointing Xu Rong as the governor of Youzhou can also make Gongsun Du feel more at ease."

"not to mention……"

Xu An paused and said calmly.

"What state do you think dares to rebel now that I am still here?"

Xu You was taken aback for a moment, and then came back to his senses. He found that his worries were indeed unnecessary.

The power of the Ming army is like a prairie fire, the Taiping Road is in full swing at this time, and Xu An is in the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period, so rebellion is simply out of the question.

And even if Xu Rong and Gongsun Du really rebelled, so what?

To the north is the Modong Province controlled by Liu Shi. There are 10 people in the ancient Wuhuan tribe and the Wuhuan tribe of the three counties. There are tens of thousands of soldiers under Liu Shi's command. The south is Jizhou. With more than tens of thousands of people marching, the rebellion can be put down immediately without even sending troops from the central government.

Moreover, in the southeast of Liaozhou, where Gongsun Du is now in charge, the original Korean peninsula, Sanhan has been defeated by Lu Sheng.

Now Lu Sheng has settled down with more than [-] former Taishan Yellow Turban Army, which has also been designated as a new province - Haidong Province.

Haidong means the east of the sea. Lu Sheng served as the first governor of Haidong Province, in charge of the military and administration of Haidong, and also set up three divisions to share power.

If Gongsun Du really has any different intentions, he will immediately fall into the predicament of being surrounded by all sides.

Xu An also breathed a sigh of relief when the candidate for governor was decided.

His eyes fell on the map on the desk in front of him, Xu An was slightly dazed.

In the short two years, the situation has changed. Originally, Taiping Road only occupied four states, but now, it has already owned four provinces and eight states, and its territory has reached an unimaginable extent.

Chapter 8 and Six: The Battle for Yiling

In the second year of the Ming Dynasty (195), the last ten days of July.

Jingzhou, Yiling.

Above the river, the sound of war drums was like thunder.

The Yiling navy of the Han army is making the final struggle, but their struggle is in vain.

The warships of the Ming army were densely packed on the river, and the yellow flag was waving. The reason why the Yiling navy of the Han army was still resisting was because they had no way out.

"call out------"

On the surface of the river, the unique whistle of the Ming army sounded again.

Deng Long, the captain of the Han army who was fighting with the Ming army rushing up the deck, trembled all over. Every time the whistle of the Ming army sounded, the intensity of the Ming army's attack would intensify, and he instinctively felt a burst of fear in his heart.

The surviving Ming army sailors on the deck jumped off the deck the moment they heard the whistle sound.

Deng Long had a bad feeling in his heart, a Han sailor behind him looked terrified and shouted loudly

"Large boat!!!"

Deng Long suddenly turned his head and looked towards the side of the boat.

The strong west wind blowing on his face instantly made him narrow his eyes involuntarily.

The glare of the sun confused Deng Long's eyes, he raised his hands to cover his eyes, and then he could see clearly what was in front of him, but it was too late.

The wind in the river was swift, and a tall ship with the flag of the sun and the moon was sailing with the wind, cutting through the waves.

Under the harassment of the Ming army's small boat, Deng Long lost control of the overall situation, and they fell into the Ming army's calculations.

On the prow of the boat with the sun and moon banners hanging, a general wearing leather armor and a brocade robe, holding a pair of short-handled halberds upside down was standing on it.

"Gan Ning!"

All the soldiers on Deng Long's ship were terrified when they saw the general standing on the bow of the ship. The warship that cut through the waves was Gan Ning's ship and the flagship of the Ming army's navy.

Although the person standing at the bow of the boat is still relatively far away, he can tell that it is Gan Ning just by looking at his clothes and weapons!

"Turn the rudder, turn the rudder!"

Deng Long held the ring sword in his hand like a maniac, roaring loudly.

"Get off the boat!"

On the warship, all the sailors of the Han army were in a panic.

The building boat that cut through the waves was the flagship of the Ming army, Gan Ning's ship.

The warships of the Han army along the road were either too afraid to step forward to stop them, or they were beyond their reach and could not stop them.

"Paddle! Paddle!"

The generals on the Han army warship were completely confused.

Everything they did was in vain, the wind and the current flowed, and the Ming army's buildings and ships were rushing towards them like arrows leaving the string.

The bow position of the Ming army building ship, the ramming horn wrapped in gold and iron is glowing coldly under the sunlight, which makes the hearts of all the sailors of the Han army fall into the bottom of the valley.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

The sound of high-spirited drums sounded from the flagship of the Ming army, and quickly spread to the surface of the river with the wind of the river.

The sailors on the warships of the two armies who were chasing each other held their breath and looked at the place where the drum sound came from.

"Bang!!!"

Suddenly there was a huge impact sound, Deng Long heard the warship under his seat uttered a wailing sound, and the violent vibration came suddenly, and all the sailors of the Han army, including Deng Long, couldn't stand still. Suddenly fell on the boat, and even several Han sailors who were close to the side of the boat were accidentally thrown into the river.

The two ships collided, and the huge waves that were set off swallowed them instantly, and then the waves rolled towards the sides.

Just beside the Deng Longzuo ship, the two Chima ships of the Ming army were almost overturned into the river. The Ming army sailors on board looked at the scene in front of them. Take a breath.

If they escaped from the warship one step later, their fate would be the same as that of the Han sailors who were sucked into the bottom of the water, and they might all die without a whole body.

The ram of the flagship of the Ming army was firmly embedded in the warship of the Han army, and it was only a short distance away from cutting it off in the middle.

The ship was broken, and a large amount of river water poured into the cabin of the Han army warship along the gap.

The bright red blood stained the river red, and many boatmen paddling in the cabin died in the impact.

Deng Long supported the mast and struggled to get up from the deck. He was the first to get up and regain consciousness. Such a violent collision was beyond everyone's imagination.

The sailors of the Han army are indeed well-trained, but even if they grabbed the mast and the ropes on the ship in advance, they were still smashed by the impact, and some sailors of the Han army even hit their vital points , was already killed on the spot.
