The World of Yellow Sky

"The common people are wiped out, and there is almost no one left. It is very tricky, only one."

"Wherever you see, mountains and rivers are broken, people's hearts are rebellious, and the world is full of soldiers."

"As many bamboos as there are in the South Mountain, there are endless crimes in books; in the waves of the East China Sea, there are endless evils."

"It is because of the poor and strange disasters in the upper country, and the scorpion's violence in the Central Plains. The greed of the hog is sealed in the three rivers, and the poison of the long snake is in the four seas.

"Let the people ignore it, and say that the power of God is not to be feared."

"The people are not afraid of death, so how can they be afraid of death!"

"I have obeyed God's orders, and I have never dared to be at peace. In 13 years, I have never dared to slack off,"

"As constant as the moon, as rising as the sun, it is 'Ming'."

"Today I am in the Ming Dynasty, clothing the world, reaching Guishuang in the west, connecting overseas in the east, controlling Shan County in the south, reaching the vast sea in the north, combining Hebei with seclusion, Yizhou in Guanzhong, the desert in the north, and the western regions in the south. Guest service, all nations come to court."

"Our generation already has a strong army, and has all the people in the world! Now the time has come, and Fang wants to send troops to the south to fight against the tyrants, save the people from misery, and restore the peace of China."

"Booming and fainting, fierce tigers roar and the wind blows in the valley; like thunder and thunder, the clouds rise in response to the dragon's leap."

"With a battalion of righteous bravery, the three armies are desperate to die; the banners are fiercely hunted, and the torrent that destroys the enemy with all eyes."

"The sky and the earth are turning upside down, and the fire is burning; the building is about to fall, and there is no tree to support!"

"The head is like a chicken, and it sings again after being cut. Officials need not be feared, and ordinary people should never be taken lightly."

"It should be noted that a single spark can start a prairie fire!"

"The war is about to start, worrying that the people don't know, and they will turn against me, 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!"

"The sky is dead, Huang Tian stands!"

"The weather is turbulent, and the sun is prosperous!"

"Like the law!"

In Qingzhou, the atmosphere in the government office of Linzi Prefecture is almost frozen.

Among the government offices, all the generals of Qingzhou took their seats.

But inside the government office, there was no sound, even if it could be described as the smell of a needle falling, it would not be an exaggeration.

This proclamation from the Ming court caused the entire Han court to fall into silence.

Qingzhou Biejia Kong Rong sat at the first place on the right with a livid face, and the one on the left was Zhu Zhi, General Zhengdong.

After the reform, the rank of generals has also been revised, and the generals of the four campaigns are the heavy generals under the front, back, left, and right generals.

Zhu Zhi made great achievements in attacking Qingzhou, so he was added as General Zhengdong.

The rest of them were General Li Feng Cao Hong, General Protector Xiahou Dun, Lieutenant Xia Houyuan of the Superintendent, Captain Lejin who fell into the battle, Engaged Man Chong, and the rest of the generals.

In the government office, most of the generals and schools were born in the Xiahou family and the Cao family.

The power of state pastors increased again, and Cao Cao also promoted people from his own family and Xiahou's family one after another.

They also had a lot of military merits in the battles of Yanxu and Qingzhou before. Now that they are allowed to open the government and build the government, the right to promote the school lieutenant and the capital lieutenant can be determined by the state shepherd.

Cao Cao also didn't have any idea of ​​emphasizing talents and avoiding relatives. After all, when Chen Liu raised his army, the people who followed him were basically the children of the Xiahou family and his own family.

Now Cao Cao's generals, in addition to the generals from the Cao family and the Xiahou family, only five generals with foreign surnames, Dian Wei, Le Jin, Li Gan, Han Hao, and Shi Huan, are generals under his tent.

As for Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, and Zhu Zhi and others.

Zhu Zhi is only one or two levels lower than Cao Cao. As the general who conquers the East, he is not under Cao Cao's jurisdiction.

The main thing is to obey the orders of the central government, but the temporary orders are to help defend Qingzhou.

As for Zang Ba, Cao Cao did not call Zang Ba to this meeting, and he was more worried about Zang Ba.

After all, Zang Ba had been in contact with the Taishan Yellow Turban Army in the past, but the situation is very delicate now. At this critical juncture, it is naturally difficult for him to touch Zang Ba, so he can only let it go and strengthen surveillance.

Cao Cao sat in the first seat. He lowered his head and looked at the proclamation on the table in silence.

His eyes were full of anger, Bao Xin's death made it difficult for him to calm down.

The defeat in the Bohai sea battle and the death of Sun Ce made the whole Qingzhou panic.

The details of the Bohai War and the reasons for Dongjun's defeat, Cao Cao has already learned from the embroidered clothes messenger and Zhou Yu.

The Ming army set up an ambush in advance, evading the warning beacon tower.

The navy of the Ming army knew about the existence of Yang and Xu Navy for a long time, so they set up an encirclement circle to let Yang and Xu Navy get into the trap.

And this strategy really worked. Now that the Yang and Xu navy divisions have been wiped out, they are powerless to prevent the Ming army from crossing the sea and landing in Donglai County.

Now Qingzhou has fallen into an embarrassing situation surrounded by two sides, but he has no way to retreat.

It is absolutely impossible to voluntarily give up Qingzhou.

In the yamen hall of Linzi Mansion, there is a huge map on the ground, which depicts the city of Qingzhou and the deployment of military forces, as well as some information about the Ming army.

Cao Cao raised his head from the table, and looked at the map of geomancy spread out in the hall.

Yu Jin was dismissed by him, and Cao Ren took over the soldiers under Yu Jin's command. Now they are stationed in the three cities of Yeguo, Dangli, and Luxiang in Donglai County, forming a corner.

Facing each other with the Ming army in Huangxian County, there are more than [-] soldiers under its command.

When the 4000 Xuzhou Army joined them after going north, there were only [-] people in total, and the combat power of those Xuzhou Army was worrying.

In fact, Cao Cao also knew that the defeat of Donglai County could not be suppressed. It happened suddenly, and he did not expect that Lu Bu would be in the sequence of landing.

Lu Bu's bravery is well known to everyone, and he is the well-deserved number one general in Ming Court.

Li Ting swept the acupuncture points, established Xianbei in the north, subdued all the tribes, set up the Anbei Capital Protectorate, and was named the Champion Marquis.

The achievements made by Huo Qubing in the past, he sealed the wolf to live in Xu, Zen in Guyan, drank the horse Hanhai, and restrained Shi Yanran.

Lu Bu not only repeated everything, but even went beyond it.

Today's Ming army seems to be stronger than the morale of the Han army in the past.

Under such circumstances, Yu Jin was able to gather the remnants of the army, safely retreat to Huang County, and even take away more than [-] soldiers from Huang County in the end, which is enough to prove his ability.

After Cao Cao was furious, he ordered Cao Ren to re-promote Yu Jin and let Cao Ren appoint him as a general in the army.

Cao Cao's expression was so gloomy that he could almost drip water.

Chapter 852 Conspiracy

Cao Cao didn't speak, and no one in the government office dared to speak first.

The weather is getting colder and the time for autumn and winter is getting faster and faster.

Although it is only the first ten days of September and December has not yet arrived, the water flow of the Yellow River has reached a rather small point.

The temperature is getting colder every year. The Yellow River usually freezes around December, but last year it was only frozen in November, and the water flow in many places is even more pitiful.

The scouts in charge of monitoring the river situation came to report that in many places where the water flow is small, floating bridges can be directly built to cross the river.

I am afraid that the water condition of the Yellow River this year will be worse than last year, and the phenomenon of flow reduction and freezing will be earlier.

There are so many places where pontoon bridges can be built, even if a beacon tower along the river is set up, there is no way to stop it.

From Qingzhou Plain County to the south of the Yellow River, the two sides of the big river are flat rivers, and the water flow is not turbulent.

The Ming army turned like the wind, and moved extremely quickly, and could cross the river from any river basin.

If the Han army had a large number of cavalry, they might be able to react immediately.

After all, the dry season and ice flood season have not really come yet, and it will take time to build the pontoon bridge.

But such an assumption is meaningless.

In the Battle of Fanyang, all the formed cavalry of the Han court were wiped out.

The racecourse in Beidi was firmly controlled by Ming Ting, and Han Ting had no war horses to obtain.

Neither the Yanzhou Army nor the Qingzhou Army has an organized cavalry in the current Han Army. Most of the horses are allocated to generals and reconnaissance cavalry, and they are not even enough.

There are not enough horses, no cavalry, and setting up beacon towers on the long river basin is simply an impossible task.

Unless, like building the Great Wall, all the city walls are built along the Yellow River.

But even so, there is no way to stop the Ming army from going south. After all, the Ming army is not those nomadic tribes who can't even make siege equipment.

Now Ming Ting's iron smelting technology and other technologies are far superior to Han Ting's, and this is already on the table.

The range of bows and crossbows of the Ming army is farther than that of the Han army, the armor is tougher than that of the Han army, the area of ​​protection is also larger, the cost is also cheaper, and the weapons are sharper and stronger than the Han army. .

The current Ming army...

The current Ming army is like a monster...

Cao Cao clenched his fists tightly. He couldn't think of any strategy that could stop the Ming army from going south.

There is really no difference between the Ming army and the monsters. Within a year, or even half a year, the strength of the Ming army will skyrocket and increase day by day.

First came the thunderbolt chariot, then the four-wheeled carriage, followed by ring arm armor, chain mail, and ballista.

The birth of the new type of riding equipment made the Ming army's cavalry combat power reach its peak, and it was superior to other heroes. Therefore, Xu An led his troops to defeat Ma Teng and Han Sui in Liangzhou in one fell swoop.

Han Sui was beheaded, and Ma Teng led the entire army to surrender.

Various systems such as the school system, health regulations, and craftsman system seem to be suggestions made by Xu An alone.

The current system implemented by the Ming Court seems to be called the Three Governments and Six Ministries System, which is an almost brand-new system, and it is not the same as the San Gong Jiu Qing system at all.

If it is said that the four-wheeled carriages, thunderbolt chariots, and various new armaments belong to the normal Fan Chou, there are enough skilled craftsmen, or it can be said to be a coincidence.

Then a new political system is created, and this political system is still operating relatively well, then this is a very, very scary thing.

Cao Cao is now in the position of Yanzhou Mu. He knows a lot, and he knows a lot. He knows how difficult it is to write a new political system and make it work.

If he remembered correctly, it seemed that Xu An had just passed his thirties this year, and it seemed that Xu An was only in his 20s when Chang'an was founded.

There are too many weirdnesses about Xu An, making it difficult to guess and understand.

Calculating the time forward, Xu An, who led the remnant soldiers into Taihang at that time, was not even 20 years old, the age for the crown ceremony.

Not only the country's political system, but also the local system, and the embroidered messenger's report seemed to be mentioned by Xu An.

What the Han court implemented in the local area was the system of prefectures and counties, which was changed to a provincial system. The powers of the state priests were divided into three, with mutual checks and balances, and a clear division of labor, so that one family would not dominate.

The Ming Court adopted the Tusi Jimi system, and also recruited the strong men among its tribes as soldiers, and transferred them to other battlefields to open up the frontier.

The defeated tribesmen were forced into the interior as captives for road construction, mining and collection, saving a lot of manpower and material resources.

Now Ming Ting's foreign army is filled with a large number of foreign soldiers, and even the officers have many foreigners.

One of the newspapers published by the Ming court was about the wars in the Western Regions.

It seems that a Dawan native has been granted Ming nationality and officially became a Ming native. He is allowed to move into any province in Ming, just like ordinary Ming people.

It was because the man from Dawan helped the Ming army lead the way, so the Ming army knew the movement of the Dawan army in advance, and made a contribution in one fell swoop.

Cao Cao pressed the position of his temple, thinking about Ming Ting's matter, his mind couldn't help but ache.

Ming Ting became more and more powerful, so powerful that it was difficult for people to raise the idea of ​​resistance.

The son does not talk strangely and forcefully.

In fact, Cao Cao didn't believe in the so-called destiny or the so-called ghosts and gods.

He believes that fate is always in his own hands, not some illusory decision by the sky.

The death of Zhang Jiao, the failure of the Yellow Turban Uprising, and the old incidents of Zhang Lu in Hanzhong made Cao Cao understand that those incidents were just to deceive those foolish people.

If there really are ghosts and gods, if there really are immortals and demons, then why the first emperor who ruled the world could not live forever.

Why didn't the Xuanniao who descended to give birth to Shang not come to help Yin Shang, and why Ji Zhou, who claimed to belong to the destiny, was finally destroyed by Qin, but no so-called gods came to help.

However, what Cao Cao had believed in for more than ten years was because Xu An began to waver.

If it is not destiny, if it is a born saint.

Why Xu An can have so many wonderful ideas.

Why did Xu An know so many things.
