The World of Yellow Sky

The messengers galloped on both sides of the queue and shouted loudly, and the soldiers in the queue also walked carefully on the rice paddies.

The settlement was now empty.

Xu Huang rode on a horse and led his personal troops around the field next to the settlement.

This time the Yellow Turban Army came out of the mountain and was divided into three armies. The first army was led by Xu An from the middle of the Taihang Mountains to Shangai County, and led 1 soldiers. Xu Huang was the vanguard of this army.

The other army attacked Shexian County due to the command of Du, with a slightly larger number than Xu An, with more than 3000 people, but most of them were Yu Du's original subordinates, and their combat effectiveness was slightly lower.

The last army was Zhang Yan who came out from Taihangxing to harass Hanoi.

Xu An also set new military regulations because of his departure this time, such as [-] lashes for those who trample on crops!Anyone who violates the residents will be executed immediately!In this category, there are a total of more than a dozen strict new military regulations, strictly prohibiting all disturbing behaviors.

The situation of the other two armies is temporarily unknown, but Xu An has dozens of sergeants leading the whip, and even a sergeant with dirty hands and feet, who turned out to be a bandit on Luohu Mountain, who was beheaded in public and supervised At that time, even Xu An was there in person.

And those yellow scarf alchemists who acted as military judges would not show any sympathy at all.

"How many miles away from Shangai County?"

Xu Huang looked at the settlement in front of him and asked to the side.

"There are still twenty miles to go. Our scouts haven't encountered the Han army yet."

"Send the information back to the Chinese army and investigate again."

"promise!"

The scout retreated in a hurry and galloped towards the rear of the army.

Chapter 1 and Six Yellow Turbans

When the county lieutenant of Shangai County hurried up the city wall, he was almost stunned by the scene in front of him.

Not far from the city wall, a group of yellow turban cavalry roared past in the field on the outskirts of the city.

When there are thousands of people, it is boundless, and when there are tens of thousands of people, it reaches the sky and the earth!

In front of the Shangai county lieutenant were countless khaki flags fluttering.

When the strong wind blew, the county captain of Shang'ai County could even hear the sound of the banners whistling in the wind in the distance.

The county lieutenant pressed his body against the blue bricks of the city wall, his hands trembling slightly.

There are no more than 600 soldiers in the entire Shangai County, including the small officials.

There is a huge disparity in the number of people, how can five or six hundred trembling soldiers withstand thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers who are screaming and fighting fiercely?

There is no suspense in the fall of Shangai County.

More than 500 Han troops, as well as the county lieutenant and county magistrate of Shangai County, all died in battle on the city wall.

The city gate was opened, and Xu An rode into Shangai City, and the air in the city was filled with an unpleasant smell of blood.

All the dwellings are closed with gates, although everyone knows that the thin wooden gate cannot stop those vicious "moth thieves".

"Why is there fire in the city?"

Xu An looked at the fire not far away, and frowned slightly.

"This matter should not be done by our army sergeants, it may be the rogues in the city."

Xu Huang looked serious and suggested to Xu An.

"Let the scouts enter the city first. There are many rogues in the city who take advantage of the fire and loot them. We need to stop them as soon as possible!"

"The lord strictly ordered the army not to disturb the people, but if these rascals are not stopped, I'm afraid that dirty water will be poured on our army."

"It didn't occur to me."

Xu An had no experience in capturing cities, so he made a mistake in his judgment. He only ordered the army to control the arsenal, the granaries, and the government.

Fortunately, not long after the Yellow Turban Army entered the city, Xu An immediately ordered the cavalry to enter the city after Xu Huang's suggestion.

Under the strong suppression of the Yellow Turban Army, Shangai City once again returned to tranquility.

This tranquility lasted until the early morning of the next day, and the entire city of Shangai was still surprisingly quiet. There was no burning, killing, looting, or burning.

Among the people of Shangai City who spent the night trembling in fear, there were some courageous residents who lay down in the crack of the door and looked at the street. On the street, there were teams of yellow scarf soldiers on patrol.

The place where the Han army was stationed near the city gate has also become the sergeant of the Yellow Turban Army.

...

The night was getting dark.The lights in Huangfusong's large tent were still on.

This time, Beigong Boyu invaded the Sanfu area aggressively, with a large number of soldiers. Huangfusong was ordered in danger. Although he temporarily repelled the Qiang cavalry, he still could not expand the results of the battle.

The Qiang cavalry came and went like the wind, and even looted a large number of Han army's armor. Even if the Han army won, they were powerless to pursue them.

When Huangfusong was attacking Zhang Jiao before, he passed through Yecheng, and saw Zhao Zhong's house was overrun, and he played the emperor's house and confiscated Zhao Zhong's private house.

Later, Zhongchang servant Zhang Rang asked Huangfusong for 5000 million yuan in private, but Huangfusong naturally ignored it.

All these things were naturally recorded. This time Huangfusong went to battle, not to mention that the imperial army in the central government had no assistance, and even the cavalry were pitifully few.

It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. As expected, the emperor issued an edict, saying that Song Lianzhan was useless, and those who earned a lot of money.

The imperial edict in Huangfusong's hand was the emperor's order to dismiss him from office.

……

In August of the second year of Zhongping (185), Sikong Zhang Wen was awarded the title of General of Chariots and Riders and a holiday. Such an honor is almost the same as that of Huangfusong at the beginning.

After Zhang Wen was awarded the title of General of Chariots and Cavalry, he sent his deputy Zhijin Wu Yuan Pang as the vanguard to crusade against Beigong Boyu, a barbarian.

And Dong Zhuo, who had been defeated repeatedly in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, was also named General Polu, and he was Zhang Wen's subordinate together with General Zhou Shen, the general who rebelled against the bandits.

After Zhang Wen took office, he stationed more than [-] soldiers from various counties in Meiyang, and Bianzhang, Han Sui, and Beigong Boyu also marched into Meiyang.

The two armies confronted each other in Meiyang, and even after half a month of fighting, the situation seemed to be changing for the better.

But when the three letters were sent to Luoyang, the emperor was furious.

Liu Hong's eyes were red, fragments were scattered all over the ground, and the maids and eunuchs knelt on the ground and did not dare to move.

"Didn't you say that all the yellow turban thieves have been cleaned up? This Taihang Mountain is in such a mess? A bunch of trash!"

Furious, Liu Hong kicked the lampstand to the ground again.

"Thief, dare to deceive me!"

Not long ago, when Zhang Wenwen and Beigong Boyu were fighting, Shangai County and She County had already fallen into the hands of the Yellow Turban Army in the Taihang Mountains.

Moreover, even Hanoi County in Sili was harassed by the Yellow Turban Army.

Liu Hong still remembers how critical the situation was last year.

Within a month, wars broke out in 28 counties of the seven prefectures across the country. The Yellow Turban Army was in full swing.

Liu Hong had no choice but to amnesty the party members on Renzi Day, send back all the migrants, and asked the ministers to donate horses and crossbows.

Guo Xun, governor of Youzhou, was even killed by the Yellow Turban Army in Guangyang, and Bocai defeated Zhu Jun and Huangfusong in succession.

If it hadn't been for the sudden strong wind and Huangfusong's fire attack to defeat the Yellow Turban army, I'm afraid that even if the Han army won, it would be a disastrous victory. By then, the other divisions of the Yellow Turban Army would have room for development.

It's a pity that although Bocai is handsome, he also has limitations. He was defeated by the Han army and lost to Changshe.

"Order Wang Fen, governor of Jizhou, and Zhang Yi, governor of Bingzhou, to advance and suppress the Taihang Mountains!"

"A mere 'moth thief' dares to pretend to be the destiny!"

Chapter 1 Invasion of Taihang?

In the wrath of the emperor, millions of dead bodies were laid down and blood flowed for thousands of miles.

The news that Liu Hong was furious in Luoyang followed the edict to the case letters of Zhang Yi, the governor of Bingzhou, and Wang Fen, the governor of Jizhou.

Holding the imperial edict, Wang Fen's eyelids twitched, and it was easy to talk about entering and suppressing Taihang Mountain.

At the beginning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, bandits and robbers from all over the world continued to wreak havoc.

The county soldiers in Jizhou have not recovered from the battle of Shijianshan.

The main general fell into the enemy's line, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. He didn't mention the loss of soldiers and generals, and thousands of precious army horses were also lost.

This undoubtedly greatly reduced the maneuverability of the soldiers in Jizhou County.

Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Gao Lan fought for a long time before they completely stabilized the situation in Jizhou. However, from the generals to the ordinary sergeants, they are all exhausted now.

Now the emperor issued an edict to let him go into the Taihang Mountains. There are more than 2 bandits in the Taihang Mountains. Even if he includes the soldiers from Jizhou County and the soldiers from the vassal states, the number of soldiers is only [-].

What's more, the mobilization of the army is not only about soldiers, but also requires the recruitment of civilians and the mobilization of military rations.

Jizhou was first affected by the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Originally, Huangfu Song had quelled the turmoil, but the emperor Liu Hong didn't care about the early peace of the Yellow Turban. The world is still in chaos. The tax was increased by ten qian, which was used to repair the palace.

After the catastrophe, there must be a catastrophe. As expected, Jizhou suffered another plague and heavy taxes, which drove the last small people who could barely survive.

After Wang Fen took office, he took in refugees, pacified the rebellion, and managed the army and government. He did not dare to neglect at all.

Shi Jianshan was defeated, and the strength of the Han army in Jizhou was greatly damaged. It was difficult to suppress the mobs from all walks of life. Huang Fusong was dispatched back to Luoyang.

Wang Fen sleeps all night long and immerses himself in his official business, which is why he is now in a stable situation. How can he afford the money and food of the army?

Now Beigong Boyu and the main force of the Han army are facing each other in Meiyang, and the imperial court has no money, food or military force to support them.

But Wang Fen had no choice but to carry out the edict of the emperor.

After thinking for a while, Wang Fen asked: "The Gaolan Department is still guarding outside the Jingjing Pass?"

"Let him first move the general camp ten miles forward to Jingjingguan, and then order Wen Chou to lead the troops of the headquarters to coordinate with Gao Lan."

"Counting Wen Xiaowei's troops, our army's strength is only four thousand, so your lord..."

A civil official was a little puzzled, and after thinking for a moment, he still spoke up. Wang Fen snorted coldly, and stopped his words directly.

"I have made up my own mind about the Taihang Yellow Turban campaign. Zhong De thinks that I, Wang Fen, don't understand military strategy?"

"Don't dare..."

The official was so frightened by Wang Fen's words that he broke out in a cold sweat. Wang Fen was appointed as the governor of Jizhou last year when he was in danger.

Moreover, after Huangfusong was temporarily conscripted back to Luoyang, the burden of suppressing the bandits in Jizhou fell on his shoulders, and he was dispatched to command the army for many days. At this time, Wang Fen also had the spirit of joining the army.

At this time, Wang Fen's eyebrows were cold and cold, and no one in the government office dared to speak again.

……

The other person who received the order, Zhang Yi, the governor of Bingzhou, was also in a state of desperation.

But not for the order of the imperial edict.

It was because of the successive fall of Shangai County and Shexian County. Although both Shangai County and Shexian County were counties in Jizhou, they were adjacent to Bingzhou.

According to reports from scouts, the Yellow Turban Army that captured Shangai County not only defeated Zhan County not far to the south, but now they have gathered some troops and are marching towards Bingzhou and Jinyang.

But at this time, there were only more than [-] soldiers that Zhang Yi could mobilize in the vicinity of Jinyang.

Not long ago, Xiutu Gehu in the north was about to move, and Zhang Baiqi and others in the Taihang Mountains went out to plunder many times, and Beigong Boyu invaded the Sanfu area.

Zhang Yi dispatched some soldiers to support the three places. He also thought that after Xu An unified the Southern Taihang, he would attack and harass Bingzhou, but he did not expect the situation in Taihang Mountain to change so quickly.

Xu An wiped out Yang Feng who was entrenched in the south of Taihang Mountain in one fell swoop in just over a month. You must know that the Han army surrounded and suppressed Yang Feng many times, but they lost all their troops and were repelled by Yang Feng.

Moreover, after Xu An defeated Yang Feng, he successfully subdued the seven forces in the north of Taihang Mountain within a short period of time.

And it's not harassment, but an army attacking, it's just like losing your mind.

Going too far?

Now there are only more than 4000 Han troops in Jinyang, and most of them are not elites. Zhang Yi has no confidence in fighting thousands of Yellow Turbans on the plain.

He knew that the Yellow Turban Army under Xu An's command at this time was almost as powerful as the Yellow Turban Army under Zhang Jiao's command at that time.

It's the same battles and victories, and morale is at its peak.

Moreover, Xu An obtained a large number of Han army's military equipment and food and grass supplies in the Taihang Eight Paths and the fallen counties, which further narrowed the advantage of the Han army's military equipment.

Most of the Bingzhou cavalry were guarding against the barbarians in the north, and the cavalry that Jinyang could mobilize now, including Zhang Yi's guards, was only three hundred.

The Han army scouts at the front had no way of ascertaining the approximate number of Yellow Turban cavalry.

Because there are a large number of Yellow Turban scouts, the Han army scouts have extremely limited space for activities, and they cannot get any useful information at all.

Only at this time did Zhang Yi realize that the situation was dire, and if he was a little careless, he might even repeat the mistake of the Yellow Turban Army attacking and killing the governor of Yizhou last year.
