The World of Yellow Sky

Why Xu An was able to lead the Taiping Road ahead of all of them.

How those systems and skills can be imagined by ordinary people.

"Destiny?"

Cao Cao stood up slowly, and murmured in a low voice that only he could hear.

Could it be that Xu An was really destined by fate?

Could it be that this big man is really hopeless?

Could it be that the so-called prophecy said...

The sky and the earth are turning upside down, and the fire is burning; the building is about to fall, and it is difficult to support a tree.

Destiny...

Cao Cao's expression was gloomy, and his heart was turning a thousand times.

All the generals in the hall bowed their heads and looked down, silent.

"Everyone look up!"

A fierce light flashed in Cao Cao's eyes, and the oppressive atmosphere in the hall made him extremely depressed.

Bao Xin's mourning hall was set up in Linzi, and the whole Linzi was filled with whites.

Cao Cao usually wears a scarlet shirt, but now because of Bao Xin, he has also changed into a white robe.

Cao Cao's voice was low and not loud, but it also woke up everyone in the hall.

"Look up your fucking head and look at me!"

Cao Cao raised his foot and kicked over the table in front of him.

The huge eucalyptus table rolled down the stage, which also completely awakened the generals in the hall.

All the generals in the hall raised their heads when they heard the words, and focused their eyes on Cao Cao.

At this time, Cao Cao's eyes were red, and he was standing in the front seat, holding his sword, as if he wanted to choose someone and devour him.

Today's Cao Cao is no longer the fledgling cavalry captain who followed Zhu Jun and Huangfusong and led the Luoyang cavalry.

The Luoyang palace changed and the government was in chaos.

The coalition forces challenged Dong, and the Kwantung princes watched from the sidelines. Only Bao Xin supported him in marching to challenge Dong.

In the Battle of Xingyang, he returned home after a disastrous defeat and narrowly escaped death.

Bao Xin's younger brother Bao Tao died trying to save him, and Wei Zi, who assisted him in his army, also died in battle.

Cao Hong risked his life to save him, he is probably lost in the battle now.

Bao Xin was wounded five times, but he managed to get out of the siege after all. Cao Chun and Cao Hong also got out of the siege in the end, and Xia Houyuan and Xia Hou Dun were also bruised and bruised.

In the end, the tens of thousands of troops returned with only a hundred riders.

For more than ten years, he has been from the former captain of the cavalry, the generals, the prefect, the governor, the state shepherd...

Cao Cao is no longer the playboy who ran amok in Luoyang.

Destiny?

To hell with it!

!

"If the navy is defeated, it will be defeated. Qingzhou is still in our hands!"

"Don't think about Donglai County. Most of the Ming army in Donglai County are Liaozhou soldiers under Gongsun Du's command. There are a few elites of the Ming army. Xu An is reluctant to use their elites to attack the city."

"I have set up a blockade on the two roads that Donglai County attacked Qingzhou. The Ming army in Donglai County has no way to cross the blockade."

"The battle on the Western Front is the battle that determines the outcome."

Cao Cao's tiger eyes were full of anger, and he scanned the generals in the hall, and everyone who was swept by his gaze was shocked.

Even Zhu Zhi, who has experienced many battles, couldn't help feeling a sudden in his heart.

Zhu Zhi looked at Cao Cao who was standing above him, his eyes narrowed slightly.

He and Cao Cao were not familiar with each other, but they cooperated with each other to capture Qingzhou.

He thought that Cao Cao might want to give up Qingzhou, but he didn't expect Cao Cao to be so staunch.

It's just that, but the western front is riddled with holes, without cavalry, and can only rely on the city to defend it.

Xu An's use of troops is strange and unpredictable, if you don't move, you will be fine, and if you move like thunder, the momentum is immeasurable.

In the Fanyang raid, Huangfusong was captured alive, while Sun Jian died in battle.

Xu An beheaded Huangfu Song on the banks of the Xiaquyang River to sacrifice the souls of the hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers who died in Xiaquyang.

Therefore, he replaced Huangfusong and became the No.1 military strategist in the world.

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.

It would be a lie to say I'm not afraid.

Zhu Zhi didn't have the slightest confidence to surpass Xu An at all.

If he were to choose, he would choose to take advantage of the fact that the Ming army hadn't moved yet, and immediately lead the troops to the south, abandon Qingzhou, and retreat to the southern part of Beihai.

Qingzhou cannot be defended, nor can it be defended.

Once the Ming army in Donglai County breaks through the three cities guarded by Cao Ren, then even if they want to evacuate Qingzhou, they will be unable to evacuate.

At that time, the result was that all [-] Qingzhou soldiers were made dumplings by the Ming army, ate them in one bite, surrounded and wiped them out.

Zhu Zhi admired Cao Cao's courage, but if he was a reckless man without any plan, he would just fly moths to the flame and kill himself.

Zhu Zhi absolutely cannot allow this.

Qingzhou can be lost, but the Qingzhou Army cannot be destroyed.

Save people and lose land, all people and land will survive; save land and lose people, and all people and land will be lost.

Although Zhu Zhi didn't know this sentence, he knew very well that once the [-] Qingzhou soldiers were all thrown in Qingzhou and made dumplings, then the Han court would be completely over.

If Cao Cao didn't give a reasonable strategy, even if he wanted to turn against Cao Cao today, he would still have to argue with reason.

Cao Cao glanced at Zhu Zhi with a dignified look, he knew what Zhu Zhi was thinking at this moment.

Zhu Zhi is not controlled by him, and it is impossible for him to be strong against Zhu Zhi.

It's just that he didn't want to show off his bravery.

Bao Xin and him were brothers, but Bao Xin's death didn't make him lose his mind.

Zhu Zhi has his considerations, but he also has his own considerations.

The wealth of Qingzhou is actually not too inferior to Jizhou, because it is close to the sea, so there are many salt fields.

These saltworks are extremely valuable and can bring huge wealth every year.

Compared with Zhu Zhi, who is just a general, Cao Cao can see more things.

Qingzhou is the only border state and county that does not need the central government to provide military salaries. It can guarantee self-sufficiency, and even be rich, paying taxes to the central government.

Needless to say, Yanzhou is the rest of the prefectures and counties. Half of the military expenditure of the Yanzhou Army is paid by the imperial court. Even Jingzhou also needs the assistance of the central government.

If Qingzhou is lost, then Hanting will lose a huge amount of financial revenue.

The chance of reviving the Han Dynasty will be extremely slim, and it will be almost impossible to realize it again.

As for retreating to the front line of the Huai River and the Yangtze River, it is a choice only made by cowards.

What's more, even if you really retreat to the Huai River and the Yangtze River, how long can you last?

With the momentum of a great victory, the Ming army did not need to stay at all, and went directly south.

Just relying on those soldiers who have lost their vigor, can they really rely on the Huai River and the Yangtze River to block the Ming army's offensive?

Cao Cao is a person who has really been on the battlefield. He scoffed at the so-called plan to retreat to the Huaishui made by Wang Yun and Liu Chong.

It is better to die in Qingzhou than to retreat to the Huai River and wait for death.

"False Ming is powerful, and the western front is firmly defended. Our army will definitely not be able to fight against it."

"Xu An's use of troops, the secret method of war, is as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, invades and plunders like fire, immovable as a mountain, difficult to know as cloud, and moving like thunder."

"Pseudo-Ming could have taken advantage of the momentum of defeating Wei Ting and went south, but it didn't."

"The reason for this must be that Xu An wants to be fully prepared, and then use the momentum of thunder to break through our army's defense line in one fell swoop."

"The Bohai sea battle is part of the plan of false declaration."

Cao Cao paused, glanced at Zhu Zhi, and then continued.

"If our army withdraws from Qingzhou now, it will definitely fall into the hands of the Ming army."

"If I were Xu An, I would never release the 6 people in Qingzhou."

Zhu Zhi frowned slightly. What Cao Cao said was indeed reasonable. If he retreated, Xu An might really fall into his arms.

Zhu Zhi's eyes moved slightly, and he saw that Cao Cao seemed to have a plan in mind.

"Could it be that the envoy already has a strategy against the enemy?"

"Do not."

Cao Cao shook his head.

Zhu Zhi was stunned for a moment.

"Not that I have."

Cao Cao glanced to the side, and a middle-aged scribe in red dark clothes and an iron crown stood up.

"I'm in Xiachen Palace, named Gongtai, and I've met all of you."

Chapter 853 I'll be there

In the fourth year of the Ming Dynasty (197), September [-]th.

To the east of Gaotang City, a group of about a thousand cavalrymen in ochre-yellow war robes galloped past it.

The cavalry in ocher-yellow shirts and yellow flags were the vanguard cavalry of the Ming army.

Gaotang City is not far from the south of Pingyuan City, facing each other across the river. The city south of the Yellow River was originally controlled by the Han court.

However, due to the dry season, the Qingzhou Han army had already evacuated Gaotang City, and today's Gaotang City has been burned.

Gaotang City is too close to Pingyuan City, and everyone knows that the Yellow River will never stop the Ming army.

This place is usually just an observation point. As early as a few months ago, Qu Yi had already sent troops to Gaotang City.

Gaotang City, which was burned by the Han army, has now become the frontier stronghold of the Ming army. A large number of food, grass and soldiers are now stationed here.

This time the Ming army marched south, the vanguard general was not Zhang Liao or Xu Huang, but Qu Yi.

Originally, Xu An wanted to appoint Zhang Liao as the vanguard.

The position of the vanguard of the army is particularly important. The vanguard must undertake the task of exploring the path of the entire army, scouting the enemy's situation, checking the geography; reconnaissance, tentative attack, and disrupting the deployment of the enemy.

Moreover, the vanguard's victory will greatly boost the morale of one's own side, and then suppress the opponent in one go.

In the original time and space, during the Battle of Guandu, the vanguard of Yuan Shao's army was Yan Liang, who was famous for his bravery and victory over the three armies.

In order to win the vanguard battle, Cao Cao did not hesitate to personally lead the cavalry to attack the white horse.

Zhang Liao was appointed as the vanguard, but Xu An didn't think anyone could stop him just because of Cao Cao's generals.

However, after Qu Yi heard about the arrangement, he volunteered to be a pioneer.

When Qu Yi was in Wei Ting, he had led the Wei army south to aid Qingzhou, so he was more familiar with Qingzhou's geographical environment.

Moreover, Qu Yi took the initiative to ask for Ying in front of the generals, so Xu An couldn't help taking Qu Yi's face directly.

After weighing things up, Xu An finally appointed Qu Yi as the vanguard.

Although there is a gap between Qu Yi and Zhang Liao, they are still famous generals.

In many battles such as Jieqiao and Longcou, at least half of the credit for defeating Gongsun Zan should be credited to Qu Yi.

As a foreign general in Liangzhou, how could someone who became a general under Yuan Shao's hands just by relying on his military exploits be an idler.
