The World of Yellow Sky

During the Battle of Guandu, it was these people who came up with bad ideas. Without these people's bad ideas, Yuan Shao would have won nine times out of ten.

Jushou and Tian Feng died one after another, Feng Ji also had some ability, but Feng Ji died in Fanyang.

During the Battle of Fanyang, many generals and schools of Wei Ting died during the war.

In the original time and space, Chunyu Qiong, who caused Wuchao to fall because of drunkenness, died like a man this time.

Chunyu Qiong died on the battlefield, was wounded by dozens of people, fell into the enemy's line, and was stabbed to death by a group of guns.

Xu An let out a long sigh, everything has changed now, different experiences lead to different lives, this is already a brand new world, and the previous memories of the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty are no longer accurate.

Ten years of trees, a hundred years of trees.

The Han Dynasty supported scholars for hundreds of years, and the aristocratic and powerful family traditions have been passed down for hundreds of years. Leaders were selected and carefully cultivated, so there was a scene of talented people emerging in large numbers in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. This is the foundation and accumulation.

In the original time and space, Xu You's character was not what it is now. After the battle of Guandu, he often took credit for himself, and finally planted the disaster for himself.

But the current Xu You, because of a failed plan, was chased by the embroidered clothes envoy Xingye, and almost died in the mountain temple in the wilderness. His personality has changed drastically, which is completely different from the description in the history books.

Now Xu You's personality is quite introverted, he doesn't take credit for himself, he often judges the situation and doesn't make grudges with others.

This is also because Xu You used to be a Hanchen after all, and he came from a powerful family, so there is a gap between him and the generals who came from the old Taipingdao, and he is always cautious.

Jia Xu is good at offering advice and suggestions, but this guy often chooses to be wise and protect himself, as long as there are no mistakes in major matters.

Let him govern the Zhongjun Mansion, and he will only govern the Zhongjun Mansion, and will never exceed half a point and be contaminated with other responsibilities.

Of course, he can also grasp the power given to him in time.

This time he was given the right to act cheaply, and Jia Xu dared to lead Liangzhou cavalry to help the Western Regions.

The people from Liangzhou have really tasted the sweetness of opening up territories.

Jia Xu previously stated that buying horses in Dawan Kingdom would undoubtedly enhance the national power of Dawan Kingdom and consume gold and silver for nothing. It would be better to capture Dawan Kingdom directly and make Dawan Kingdom a horse farm for Daming.

In this way, it not only solves the domestic problem of improving horse breeds, but also creates an additional commodity that can be traded.

"Xu Hong."

Xu An put down his hand rubbing his temple, and shouted to the outside.

"Have someone move the ice mirror to my side."

"promise."

Xu Hong responded, and ordered two soldiers of Tengxiang Guards to enter the hall.

The ice mirror in the hall is not small, and it is still difficult for one person to move it.

Two soldiers of Tengxiang Guard moved the Bing Jian to the front, and the surrounding temperature dropped slightly, which made Xu An's mind much clearer.

"correct……"

Xu An sat on the chair, pondered for a moment, and said.

"Let the Privy Council draw up an imperial edict."

"Send an edict to Jia Xu, let him deal with the affairs of the Western Regions quickly. The affairs of the Han court in the south have not been fully resolved. What does it look like for him, the edict of the Central Military Mansion, to fight the Western Regions? He is the edict of the Central Army Mansion. Not the governor of Liangzhou, his governor has the word 'dai' in front of it."

"Also, tell Lu Bu to bring the Xiaoqiying Battalion back quickly to be entrusted, and stop wandering in the Northland."

"Let Zhang Yan settle down in southern Xinjiang, and put all the focus on Hanting for the time being, and wait until the Hanting is destroyed before dealing with the affairs of southern Xinjiang."

Xu An felt a little helpless, after all, he was the one who brought up this atmosphere.

These generals and schools under his command are like competing.

Today you capture a city in the enemy's country, tomorrow I will expand the territory for hundreds of miles.

If you destroy a tribe today, I will conquer a country tomorrow.

Their eyes must now be directed to the correct location.

"Next year will be spring..."

"It is the day when the Han court was conquered from the south, and the time to unify the world." (to be continued)

Chapter 825 I'm Not Here

Everything that happened in Ming Court is unknown to the outside world.

The embroidered messenger took advantage of the Eagle Wolf Guard's loss of vigilance, causing the Eagle Wolf Guard to suffer heavy losses, enabling it to suppress the Eagle Wolf Guard on the mainland.

However, under Ming Ting's rule, the Embroidered Cloth Messenger's intelligence network was nothing more than nothing, and there was no way to infiltrate into Ming Ting's important institutions, and the main way to get news was even the newspapers issued by Ming Ting.

Han Ting didn't know what happened to Ming Ting, and Ming Ting didn't know what happened to Han Ting.

The current situation in the Han and Ming Dynasties is somewhat similar to the situation in the strategy games of later generations.

The maps of both sides are dark, and the details are unknown, covered with a thick fog of war.

The reform of the Han court is in full swing. Yanzhou and Qingzhou are constantly operating the Yellow River defense line. In addition to using bricks to reinforce the city, new cities are still being built to stop the Ming army from going south.

Because of Ming Ting's deterrence and Liu Xie's extremely firm stance.

Reforms are advancing in an orderly manner in various places, and have not encountered too many obstacles.

The powerful families under the jurisdiction of the Han court are very afraid of the Ming court that has now occupied the northern land. The little emperor's reform is gradually showing his fangs, and even started to work hard on taxation, taking part of the money from his pocket.

But they all endured it, and just protested one or two times in the court to let the emperor know their dissatisfaction.

It is different from the reforms of various countries in the past dynasties.

This reform was carried out by Liu Xie himself.

Although this was not in line with the etiquette, and the reform never said that the emperor would end in person, Liu Xie did just that.

I don't know whether to say that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, or what other plans.

Although the implementation of the reform was proposed and implemented by Liu Xie himself, it was mainly presided over by Liu Chong and Wang Yun, and assisted by Shang Shutai.

Liu Chong presided over the reform in the army, while Wang Yun presided over the reform in the court.

Liu Chong was not the King of Chen a long time ago. After all, it was a bit inappropriate to be a king and an important minister in the court. He took the initiative to dismiss the king and was named a chariot general.

Because after Huangfusong's death, the unresolved position of Taiwei became Liu Chong's new position.

The last clan to be conferred the title of Taiwei was Liu Yu who was serving as the shepherd of Youzhou at that time.

However, Liu Chong is not inferior to Liu Yu in terms of fame, status, and merit. He was worshiped as a Taiwei and did not cause much disturbance in the court.

Wang Yun was born in the Wang family of Taiyuan, and he can be regarded as a noble family, but because Bingzhou was first occupied by Xu An, only a few hundred people from the entire Taiyuan Wang family fled from Bingzhou at that time, and returned to Luoyang after traveling all the way from Youzhou.

He also experienced Dong Zhuo's chaos in the capital, the feudal lords begging for Dong, and Dong Zhuo's defeat, etc., until finally he lost his foothold in Chendu, and now he has bought a little property around Chendu.

The reason why Liu Xie used Wang Yun to preside over the reform was because of his high position and authority, high prestige, and being from Bingzhou. Because of the migration of the clan, the reform was quite beneficial to Wang Yun.

And now Wang Yun has nothing else to rely on besides Liu Xie.

He made good friends with Huangfu Song and Gai Xun, but Gai Xun died, and Huangfu Song died in Fanyang.

In today's Han court, there are very few officials from Liang, Bing, and Sili, and most of them are from Yuzhou and Yangzhou.

Many people from Yuzhou were born in Yuzhou, and Yingchuan and other places were very close to Chen. In Yangzhou, it was because of Sun Jian that many Yangzhou people were able to become officials.

Although Sun Jian died, the power he left behind was not small.

Both Sun Jing and Sun Ce were marquises. The Sun family used to be one of three marquises.

Although Cao Cao is the State Shepherd of Qingzhou, the troops under the command of Zhu Zhi and Sun Ce still retain a certain degree of autonomy, but they are still under the control of Cao Cao in name.

Because of the terrain, Qingzhou is much less dangerous than Yanzhou. Qingzhou still has an army of [-], so the Han court did not send more troops.

All the troops from Xuzhou and Yangzhou rushed to Yanzhou for support.

Compared with Qingzhou, which has an advantageous geographical environment, Yanzhou can be said to be flat. Once the Ming army crosses the Yellow River, the Yanzhou army has almost no danger to defend.

Not only that, the road from Yanzhou to Chendu, Yuzhou is also a smooth road, which is within the scope of the North China Plain.

As long as the Ming army crossed the Yellow River, the Han army had nothing to do with infantry alone.

Therefore, the armaments in the Han court are also constantly changing. From the original sword shield to now all equipped with long spears, the manufacture of the ring head knife has basically been suspended, in order to increase the production quantity of other weapons.

The Ming army in the north is constantly innovating its military equipment, and the Han court in the south has not stopped. The ring-armed Han army has long begun to imitate.

The current Han army has lost the advantage of cavalry, so the weapons produced by workshops in various places are mainly spears, shields and crossbows.

Facing the cavalry, the infantry can only rely on a well-organized army formation to defeat the cavalry, and do not give the cavalry a chance to find a flaw.

When the cavalry fights against the infantry, they generally attack and harass the infantry phalanx from a long distance first, or seize the opportunity to rush into the cavalry formation when the two armies are fighting, destroying the formation of the infantry.

Once the formation of the infantry is destroyed, the infantry without the protection of the military formation will become lambs to be slaughtered.

Equipped with the new type of riding equipment, the cavalry has stronger impact and greater mobility, and can shoot bows and arrows farther.

The Han army was equipped with long spears to resist the impact of cavalry, equipped with shields to defend against harassing arrows, and equipped with crossbows to enable their own side to have the ability to fight back from a long distance.

It is worth mentioning that the Han army is producing bed crossbows on a large scale.

The bed crossbow made by the Han army this time has an increased range, which has exceeded the range of the Ming army's counterweight catapult.

These bed crossbows were secretly built in workshops and then sent to various cities.

Like the Ming army, the people who used the crossbow had been trained, and they followed the crossbow directly to the cities, and they knew where the crossbow landed.

Xu An probably didn't even think that the laws he implemented not only affected the country, but also affected the areas under the jurisdiction of the Han court.

Most of the soldiers operating the crossbow machine relied on experience to shoot, and there was no systematic training at all. After all, the target was very big, and the hit rate of casual shooting would not be too low.

But now the Han army has also begun to have a systematic training method.

Although not as formal as the Ming army, after all, the catapult soldiers and bed crossbowmen of the Ming army were literate, and even the catapult soldiers in the Ming army had a manual for each person.

The current literacy rate of the Ming army is frighteningly high. Except for the newly recruited soldiers, most of the veterans have already learned hundreds of characters, and some even learned some simple arithmetic.

The Han army has not stagnated, on the contrary, the Han army is constantly developing.

War is a catalyst for technological and institutional progress. In fact, this sentence cannot be wrong.

In the two world wars of World War I and World War II, the upgrading of the military industry can be said to be far ahead of other periods. At the same time, military industry drives civilian use, and all walks of life are developing rapidly.

In World War I, there were only simple cars, but in World War II, there were already heavy tanks that turned into wind.

The cloud of national subjugation hangs over the Han court, and the Han court is becoming stronger at all costs.

Military academies have been established in various places, and Han army officers above and above the team rate are entering the military academies in batches to receive systematic training.

Those who teach them are the children of the aristocratic family who have learned how to fight since childhood.

These were once their family knowledge, in this case was passed on to these middle and lower officers.

But they naturally don't want to teach the core things, just want to teach the fur and some less important things.

But because of the reforms carried out by the emperor, they also had to teach deeper things.

Yanzhou's military academy is located in Dingtao, Jiyin County. It is located in the center of Yanzhou and is the largest military academy among the states.

There are [-] troops stationed in Qingzhou, and [-] troops have gathered in Yanzhou, including reinforcements from Xuzhou and Yangzhou.

Although the total standing force of the Han court is still some distance away from before the Northern Expedition, at least the army in Yanzhou has almost reached the previous number.

Only the quantity achieved does not mean the quality has been achieved. Only God knows the true combat effectiveness of the Yanzhou Army today.

At present, only Jiaozhou is the safest among the prefectures in Hanting. If you want to attack Jiaozhou from Yizhou, the terrain is rough and difficult to overcome, and you support large-scale use of troops.

Different from everything that happened in the original time and space, now Shi Xie has successfully controlled the entire Jiaozhou by virtue of his title of Jiaozhou pastor, and completed the integration of Jiaozhou.

The rebellion in Rinan County was easily suppressed, and the entire Jiaozhou was impregnable under Shi Xie's management.

Shi Xie is not a short-sighted person. He was reluctant to place a bet before because the Central Plains was in turmoil and the situation was unclear.

But now the situation is very clear, only the Han and Ming families are left in the world.

And Shishi seems to have two ways to go, but in fact there has never been only one way to go.

If they take refuge in Ming Court, [-]% of their current benefits will be deprived, and those woodlands, lakes, and real estate will all be lost.

Supporting the Han court can also keep the family home safe, at least maintain the existing interests, and only need to pay part of the tax and part of the recruitment.

Shi Xie also responded to the emperor's edict and sent more than [-] Jiaozhou soldiers to the north to help Jingzhou, and handed over [-] Jiaozhou soldiers to Liu Biao.

Although the population of Jiaozhou is small, there is no shortage of these 8000 people. Shi Xie can see it clearly.

Shi Xie's performance seemed to be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, but Shi Xie was still wavering in his heart, and he had already made up his mind.
