The World of Yellow Sky

"promise."

The sergeant sang a promise, and bowed his body and quickly exited the house. The soldier remained silent and closed the wooden door, isolating the communication between the house and the outside world.

Liang Yan looked at Huangfu Song and said bitterly, "Zhang He is defeated..."

"how come?"

Huangfu Song looked at Liang Yan in disbelief.

He chose Zhang He as the main commander. Naturally, he knew Zhang He's character. Zhang He was cautious, brave and skilled in the army. How could he be defeated by the mere ten thousand yellow turbans?

"The Yellow Turbans rushed out from Jingxing Pass while the torrential rain was on their way back to their camp."

Liang Yan looked at the document in his hand firmly, and continued: "Zhang Yun was trapped in the enemy's line, our army suffered nearly 2000 casualties, Jingxing Pass was broken, and the main force of the Yellow Turban Army has entered Taihang..."

Huangfu Song said with a gloomy face: "If Chu Feiyan really has such ability, why can't he attack Ying Tao for a long time?"

Liang Yan sighed and replied, "It's really not Chu Feiyan who broke Zhang He, the flag of the Yellow Turban Army has the word 'Xu' written on it."

Huangfu Song had a solemn expression on his face. He remembered the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army who had escaped into the Taihang Mountains after the Jingxing Pass was broken. Their commander seemed to be Xu.

Chapter 84 The Wind Rises

"Could it be Xu An?"

Huangfu Song's face was gloomy and uncertain.

Liang Yan nodded. This person seemed to have appeared out of thin air. Liu Pi and Gong Du, the two Yellow Turban Army commanders, were actually below him. Just last November, after the Yellow Turban Army was defeated in the Battle of Quyang, A remnant of the Yellow Turbans broke through Jingxing Pass and ran into the Taihang Mountains.

Then, news came from the Han army scouts one after another that in just a few months, Xu An had united the bandits in the central Taihang Mountains.

The speed of the rise is unbelievable, and even when the guard of Jingjingguan received the news, he repeatedly confirmed it three or four times before sending it to Huangfu Song's desk.

"Then it makes sense. After harvesting the armor in Jingxing Pass, there is indeed a battle strength, and this Xu An seems to be quite unusual..."

Huangfu Song tapped lightly on the desk, thinking about how to deal with it.

"What else does the document say?"

Liang Yan sat back to his original position, spread the documents on the desk, and replied, "Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Gao Lan have integrated the army and are now stationed fifty miles away from Jingxing Pass, preventing them from leaving the pass. So there is no need to worry about the Yellow Turbans in the Taihang Mountains entering the hinterland of Jizhou.”

"There is one more thing..." Liang Yan paused, and said with some seriousness: "Most of the cavalry horses that went out this time were lost after the First Battle of Shijian Mountain. Now there are only more than 300 horses in the barracks."

Huangfu Song only felt a headache while holding his forehead. It was a nightmare for the Yellow Turbans to have a large number of horses.

Knowing that it was the Battle of Xia Quyang, the Yellow Turbans' cavalry numbered only two or three thousand, and there were still a lot of bad horses.

The advantage of the Han army over the Yellow Turbans was largely due to the fact that they had well-trained armored cavalry, while the cavalry of the Yellow Turbans were just infantry on horses.

Therefore, when fighting, the armored cavalry of the Han army can often win more with less.

If the Yellow Turbans were defeated in the field, few would be able to escape and return to the city, and most of them would be wiped out in the wilderness by the cavalry of the Han army.

After repeated battles, counting this defeat, Jizhou's cavalry has lost nearly 3000 people and lost thousands of horses. Under the ebb and flow, the situation of the Jizhou army has also become severe.

Now that Jingjing Pass is not in the hands of the Han army, if the Yellow Turban Army relies on these captured warhorses to form a cavalry team of a thousand people to go out and loot, I am afraid that most of Jizhou will not be peaceful.

At least outside the Jingjing Pass, an army of thousands of people can be stationed all year round to defend it.

Huangfu Song turned to look at the map of the mountains and rivers behind him, and was slightly absent-minded: "The current situation is chaotic, there are many bandits in the Taihang Mountains, and half of the Taihang Baxing is not in the hands of the imperial court. I'm afraid that this will lead to chaos."

"What do you mean by the envoy?" Liang Yan leaned forward slightly.

Huangfu Song straightened up, with a sharp light in his eyes, he said coldly: "I will write to the imperial court, I will personally lead the troops, take Jingxing, and then dispatch the three prefectures to attack the Taihang Baxing together, and defend the Baxing with heavy troops. The bandits in the Taihang Mountains were trapped in the mountains."

At this time, the decisive Han general seemed to be back.

"Luoyang urgent order!"

Suddenly, the sound of a soldier's report came from outside the house.

Huangfu Song couldn't help frowning, could it be that something happened in Luoyang again?

In the past, there was a disaster for the party. The emperor listened to the slander, and the imperial court wanted to suppress the party members. At the beginning of this year, the doctor Liu Tao bluntly wrote a letter. He was thrown into prison and died on hunger strike.

"Bring it up."

"promise."

The soldier outside the house agreed, the wooden door opened, and the soldier walked quickly into the house with the letter in both hands, placed it on Huangfu Song's case, and then immediately bowed his head and exited the house.

Huangfu Song opened the letter with a serious look, his brows furrowed, his face uncertain.

"Emissary?"

Seeing that Huangfu Song's expression was wrong, Liang Yan asked.

Huangfu Song let out a long sigh and said helplessly: "The leader of the Qiang Hu, Bei Gong Boyu, led tens of thousands of Qiang cavalry to invade the Sanfu area and invade Yuanling. The emperor ordered me to guard Chang'an and attack the Qiang Hu."

"It seems that Jingxingguan can only be put on hold for the time being..."

Huangfu Song stood up, walked to the door, and opened the wooden door.

Huangfu Song's back became more and more hunched, as if there was a heavy burden on his shoulders, and the sound of rain rang in Huangfu Song's ears.

Year after year, month after month, I always hear news of rebellion and Koubian, from black hair to gray temples.

He swept away barbarians one after another for the big man, and quelled one rebellion after another for the big man, but why did it not subside, but instead intensified.

……

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

The passionate and vigorous sound of war drums reverberated in the valleys of Banyun Mountain, and countless sergeants wrapped in yellow scarves poured out from the camps everywhere and merged into long and narrow khaki streams. Under the command of generals and schools at all levels, Slowly entered the campus.

Teams of sergeants of the Yellow Turbans stood on the school grounds, drums and whistles were heard endlessly, countless flags fluttered in the wind, and the khaki-colored flags stretched out from the crowd like a dense forest.

Xu An was sitting on the commanding platform, and a group of yellow angels wearing heavy armor stood by their swords. For several months, Xu An selected yellow turban warlocks from the Taiping Taoist to serve as the army. Today, every village has one installed. A warlock of the Yellow Turbans.

The warlocks of the Yellow Turban Army serve as military judges, and secondly, they promote the teachings to the sergeants in the army. Xu An's arrangement in this way has been regarded as a small success. Then some fanatical believers were selected and recommended as Yellow Angels.

Today, the Yellow Angels' personal guards under Xu An's direct jurisdiction already number [-] people, nearly one Qu's troops.

After the Battle of Stone Crisp Mountain, Xu An's prestige in the army was unparalleled for a while. The ordinary sergeants of the Yellow Turban Army almost regarded Xu An as a god-like existence, which also accelerated the speed of ordinary thieves and bandits to believe in the Way of Peace.

The three-way drum stopped, and the school field was already full of soldiers with their heads wrapped in yellow scarves. At first glance, they looked like a khaki ocean.

In the past, when the soldiers gathered, there were often sergeants who arrived late, and after beheading dozens of people according to military law, even after beheading a soldier with little military exploits, no one dared to arrive late.

On the school grounds at this time, only the sound of the hunting wind whistling by the strong wind and driving the flags was heard, and there was not a trace of noisy human voices. Xu An's army was extremely strict.

There are many Taiping Taoists in the Yellow Turban army under his command. If someone whispers, even if the military judge and Shangguan don't see it, the sergeants of this team will report it themselves, so there are few whispers after the formation.

Chapter 85 响彻群山

"call out----"

A screeching sound instantly spread throughout the school grounds, and the eyes of all the Yellow Turban sergeants focused on the figure sitting on the high platform in a khaki-colored shirt.

On the high platform, Zhao Le, the original owner of the Zhao family in Lutaishan, stepped out from the queue on the left. He is now following Xu An's left and right. As Xu An's long history, he handles documents for Xu An.

He first bowed to Xu An, and after Xu An nodded, he spread out the bamboo slip in his hand and said aloud: "Our army now has 31536 sergeants, who are assigned to 13 divisions."

Zhao Le paused for a while and shouted loudly: "Xuan Taiping Road Runan Qu Shuai Liu Pi came to power."

The yellow turban warriors who were in charge of spreading the word all around repeated Zhao Le's words and sent their voices into the distance.

"Xuan Taiping Road Runanqu Commander Liu Pi came to power."

"Xuan Taiping Road Runanqu Commander Liu Pi came to power."

"Xuan Taiping Road Runanqu Commander Liu Pi came to power."

Liu Pi, dressed in a mysterious black battle robe and a cavalry general's armor with a yellow border, stepped onto the high platform, and countless yellow scarves were all holding up their swords and gesturing to Liu Pi.

At this time, Xu An had stood up, and a yellow angel stood beside him with a wooden box in his hand.

"Liu Pi was enthroned as a commander of Dian Jun, commanding the three divisions of sergeants, and compiled into the Wuwei Army."

Liu Pi knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists to answer the order. The yellow angel opened the wooden box, and a tiger talisman made of fine iron was placed in the brocade cloth.

With a smile on his face, Xu An solemnly took out the tiger talisman from the wooden box and put the tiger talisman in Liu Pi's hand.

"What I said, I always remember that Huang Tian's prestige will surely resound through the mountains!"

Liu Pi took the tiger talisman with both hands, and he couldn't help feeling overwhelmed. He thought of escaping into Taihang like a bereaved dog. How could he have thought that in a short period of time, tens of thousands of troops would be gathered again. Thinking of this, Liu Pi's voice was a little choked up.

"Liu Pi takes orders and will live up to the general's entrustment!"

Xu An clasped his fists in return, and supported Liu Pi to stand up.

Zhao Le glanced at Liu Pi and saw that he was standing behind Xu An, then turned his head and continued to read: "Xuan Taiping Road Runan Qu Shuai Gong Du will come to power."

"Xuan Taiping Road Runan Qu Shuai Gong Du came to power."

"Xuan Taiping Road Runan Qu Shuai Gong Du came to power."

"Xuan Taiping Road Runan Qu Shuai Gong Du came to power."

Before he finished speaking, an unusually burly general came out of the crowd, strode forward, and climbed to the high platform in just a few steps.

"Wan Sheng!"

All the yellow angels raised their swords high and roared in the sky.

"Feng Gongdu is the captain of the An Army, and he leads the three divisions of sergeants, and is compiled as the Selected Front Army."

It is also a tiger talisman made of fine iron, but it is slightly different from the tiger head given to Liu Pi, and the word "Xuanfeng" is also engraved on it.

Xu An held the tiger talisman and called out with a serious face, "Gong Du."

"exist."

Gong Du kneeled down on one knee and clasped his fists in obedience. Along the way, he was at first somewhat dissatisfied with Xu An, but after experiencing all kinds of things here, he was completely convinced by Xu An.

"May you be the pioneer of my Taiping Dao, sweep away all the evils in the world, and bring peace to the world!"

"promise!"

Gong Du took the tiger talisman with both hands and responded loudly, a mist appeared in his eyes.

Zhao Le cleared his throat and continued to read: "Xuan Taiping Road, Taihang Qu, the handsome Huanglong, came to power."

"Xuan Taiping Road Taihang Canal Commander Huang Long came to power."

"Xuan Taiping Road Taihang Canal Commander Huang Long came to power."

"Xuan Taiping Road Taihang Canal Commander Huang Long came to power."

Under the stage, a slightly emaciated general, wearing a yellow scarf and half-length shiny silver armor, walked slowly to the high platform.

The cheers gradually subsided, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.

"Fang Huanglong as the captain of the army guard, commanding the two sergeants, compiled as the Anshan Army, and guarding Jingxing Pass to reject the soldiers of Jizhou County."

Xu An took the tiger talisman, put it in the hands of Huang Long, who was half-kneeling on the ground, and shook Huang Long's hand again and said: "The defense of Jingxing Pass is very important, and I will take the life of my wealth and the lives of tens of thousands of old and young women and children in the mountains. I entrust it to you together."

"Huang Long takes orders! I will live up to the general's entrustment."

Huang Long nodded solemnly, took the tiger talisman, and answered loudly while holding the tiger talisman made of fine iron tightly in both hands.

"Come in."

"promise!"

After Huang Long stood by Liu Pi's side, Zhao Lecai continued to shout: "Xuantaiping Daoqu Commander Zhang Yan will come to power."

Lux continued to repeat Zhao Le's voice, and the thick voice slowly spread around the school grounds.

"Xuan Taiping Road Canal Commander Zhang Yan came to power."

"Xuan Taiping Road Canal Commander Zhang Yan came to power."

"Xuan Taiping Road Canal Commander Zhang Yan came to power."

Zhang Yan had been waiting in the audience for a long time. He was wearing a half-body cavalry armor of the Han army, covered with a black battle robe, and the black scarf on his head fluttered in the wind, but he looked heroic and extraordinary.

Most of the Yellow Turban sergeants in the school field raised their swords high and cheered Zhang Yan loudly.

Standing on the high platform, Xu An couldn't help but squinted slightly, but said nothing.

Zhang Yan walked to the front of the stage and bowed to Xu An on one knee.

"Zhang Yan was appointed Captain of Montenegro, commanded two sergeants, and was compiled into the Heishan Army."
