The World of Yellow Sky

Xu An rubbed his temples and stared at it for an hour, his head felt a little sore.

"Let him in."

Chapter 176 The Eagle Wolf Guard

After Zhao Le promised, he quickly walked out of the door.

After only a moment of effort, the wooden door was opened again by the soldier, and Liu Pi, who was holding the top helmet and wearing black iron armor, had already stepped in.

"Meet the lord."

Liu Pi put the helmet by his feet, knelt down on the ground, bowed to Xu An, and asked.

"My lord called me to the eldest son city so eagerly, what's the matter?"

Xu An pointed to the straw mat beside him and said, "Sit down first."

Liu Pi respectfully sang a promise, and sat down on the straw mat next to Xu An.

Xu An held the bamboo slip in his hand, looking a little helpless.

"Literature officials who can read and write are still scarce in the army. Before, when there were only eight hundred miles of Taihang Mountain, they could barely cope with it. But now we are sitting in a county, and you have also seen the display in my room. These bamboo slips."

Liu Pi said with a bit of embarrassment: "If it's military affairs, I can help share some of them, but in terms of people's livelihood, when I see those trivial matters of money and food, I feel like a big headache."

"I summoned you this time not to ask you to help with affairs. Now the military affairs and government affairs in the county have gradually piled up. If they are not dealt with in time, I am worried that some turmoil may arise."

"After all, it takes a while for the Taoist hall to train personnel. Far water cannot save near fire, so I want to recruit some of the original officials in the county."

Xu An raised his hand to stop Liu Pi's words, and continued.

"But you also know that most of these officials still have the Han family in their hearts. I am afraid that most of them will not do their best, or even steal information. If this information is passed on to the Han army, our army knows the truth and the truth. The Han army is well aware of our development. Extremely unfavorable."

Liu Pi nodded. What Xu An said was indeed the truth. The biggest problem restricting the Yellow Turban Army now is the shortage of internal affairs personnel.

"And it's not just about this problem. I have sent Fu Zhu to various places in the county to preach and give lectures, to save patients and treat people, and to recruit Taoists for my Taiping Dao. These newly recruited Taoists must be mixed. There are spies of the Han army or people who have a heart for the Han family."

Xu An narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice.

"During the Battle of Gaodu, I sent scouts to infiltrate Gaodu City to spread news, which was very helpful for the siege of the city. Now I am inquiring about information in various cities in Shangdang County, as well as delivering information. It is feasible for a short-term scout to do it, but in the long run, it is not the main duty of a scout in the army."

"Could it be that the lord wants to recruit a part that is responsible for these affairs?"

Although Liu Pi was puzzled when he heard it, he grasped the key points in Xu An's words, so he asked.

"Yes."

Xu An put the bamboo slips in his hands on the desk, turned around, put his hands on his knees, and looked at Liu Pi.

"I'm going to select a group of Taoists from the Taiping Dao and hand them over to you to be in charge of monitoring the newly recruited officials, as well as intelligence from various places to spy on the military situation."

Liu Pi suddenly raised his head, his eyes narrowed suddenly, although his face was calm, but his heart had already set off all kinds of waves.

Xu An stared at Liu Pi, stepped forward slightly, pressed Liu Pi's shoulder and said solemnly.

"When the former master was still there, you were the leader of the Yellow Angel under his command. You and Gong Du, the three of us escaped together from Guangzong, from Xia Quyang, and from the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood. Into the Taihang Mountains."

"It was also the three of us who fought together for three years. Countless robes were lost along the road, and our comrades all fell on the road. That's why we took down the [-]-mile boundary of Taihang Mountain and took down Shangdang County."

Xu An's words reminded Liu Pi of his ups and downs in the past few years.

"Huang Tian's prestige has now resounded throughout the mountains, but the vow I made has not yet been fulfilled. I said that one day, I will break the capital city of Luoyang, and pull down the high and mighty Son of Heaven from the throne."

Xu An stood up slowly, looking down at Liu Pi condescendingly, with determination in his eyes.

"The road we are going to take is far more difficult than ordinary roads. The road is full of mud and thorns."

Xu An paused for a moment, sat down again, leaned forward slightly, stared at Liu Pi in front of him with sharp eyes, stared at the man who was once under the altar and swore to dedicate everything to Huang Tian of the Yellow Angel.

"You are willing to clear the thorns and step through the mud for my peace path!"

Liu Pi's body trembled slightly, his eyes were full of fanaticism, Xu An had seen the look on his face on the faces of many yellow angels, it was fanaticism, and it was something only a devout believer would have look!

"Liu Pi! I am willing to die for the great virtuous teacher, and I am willing to clear the thorns and step through the mud for my path of peace!"

"Decided to sweep away all the treacherous evils in the world for my Taiping Dao, and wipe out the Xiaoxiao in this world!

Liu Pi bowed down, his head pressed tightly against the straw mat.

"Until you die!"

His voice was even trembling because of the excitement.

Xu An lifted Liu Pi who was in front of him, and took two seals made of brass from his arms.

Liu Pi looked intently, and among the two seals, one of the seals looked like a tiger talisman used by soldiers and generals, but it was slightly smaller than the tiger talisman but more like a gray wolf. , showing sharp fangs, which is daunting and sympathetic.

The other seal is completely different. It is a goshawk standing on a rock. The goshawk bows slightly, its wings are slightly spread, and its eyes seem to scan everything under the rock, as if everything in the world is under it. In the eyes of the body.

"Wolf guards are mainly responsible for internal affairs, monitoring the generals in the army, county officials, Taoists of Taiping Road, and rural settlements, collecting all information under the rule, and holding the power of arrest and interrogation."

"Eagle Guards are mainly responsible for external affairs, spying on the military, establishing intelligence, destroying local facilities, spreading lies, sabotage, reconnaissance, and assassination."

"Eagle Guard, Wolf Guard, each with a commander, and the two guards are collectively called the Eagle and Wolf Guard."

Xu An solemnly delivered the two seals in his hands to Liu Pi's hands. Liu Pi felt the cold seals in his hands, lifted them high, and bowed down again. ,

Xu An looked at Liu Pi who was kneeling on the ground, and shouted in a deep voice, "Liu Pi listens!"

"The end is here!"

Liu Pi responded loudly.

"I order you to be the first commander of the Eagle Wolf Guard, to be in charge of the second guard of the Eagle Wolf Guard, to monitor the world for our Taiping Dao, and to inspect the Divine State!"

"promise!"

Liu Pi leaned his head deeply against the straw mat and replied loudly.

Liu Pi tightly held the seal that Xu An handed over to him with both hands. The cold seal seemed to have warmed up, making his chest extremely hot.

Chapter 177 Baibo Yellow Turban

In the third year of Zhongping, on October 24, the frost fell.

The weather in the Northland is gradually getting colder.

Under the leadership of Xu Huang, the South Route Army has reached the northern part of the Wangwu Mountains.

Xu Huang's tall khaki general flag fluttered in the wind, standing in the seemingly endless march of the Yellow Turban Army.

More than [-] Yellow Turban Army filled the entire official road, and the biting cold wind came from the north, and the cold wind roared past the marching ranks of the Yellow Turban Army.

The cold wind is pervasive. They passed through the tight marching ranks of the Yellow Turban Army, and penetrated through the gaps in the armor of the Yellow Turban soldiers, making them feel the biting cold.

Zhao Ji tightened the yellow scarf around his neck, trying to block the pervasive cold wind.

"what."

Zhao Ji breathed a sigh of relief at his icy hand, and he felt that his icy hand regained some consciousness.

For some reason, Zhao Ji felt a little disappointed. He raised his head and looked around. There was a queue like a dragon in front of him and behind him. The heads of people wrapped in yellow scarves were moving in the queue.

As if feeling Zhao Ji's gaze, one of the Yellow Turban Army commanders in the queue who was carrying a khaki flag on his back grinned at Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji recognized him. His name was Wang Qi. After Zhao Ji was injured, it was Wang Qi who temporarily replaced him to command the battle.

Zhao Ji could also call out the names of the people behind Wang Qi, and the soldier who followed Wang Qi with a straight eye and fixed eyes was called Chen Wu.

Following behind Chen Wu, the young man with his head slightly lowered and his face solemn was Yang Mu, but he was a little taciturn, and he was the most serious during training.

The lean man with the goatee who was winking at Zhao Ji was called Tian Deer, and the serious tall man was actually a chatterbox named Queen Zhong.

The reason why Zhao Ji can remember so clearly is because his original subordinates, more than [-] sergeants, except for them and a few others, have slept forever in the wilderness of Kuicheng.

"Brother, let's go."

Suddenly, a slight reminder came from the ear.

Zhao Ji's thoughts were pulled back to reality, and the soldiers of another team behind him were already walking up.

Zhao Ji nodded, and walked a few steps quickly. Behind him, his younger brother Zhao Xu was holding the khaki flag that belonged to Zhao Ji, and followed Zhao Ji's pace, but he seemed to be walking with a foot injury. Sometimes, people feel that the body is a little out of balance.

The scouts of the Yellow Turban Army have been scattered, and they are bracing the cold wind, vigilant about the dense forests and shrubs around them.

Even though the cold north wind made their palms and faces red, none of them relaxed their vigilance. They still dutifully walked around the periphery of the army, and any trouble around the army could not escape their eyes and ears.

Although the north wind is cold, the sincerity in their hearts is as hot as hot oil.

These scouts of the Yellow Turban Army are all devout believers, and it is this piety that makes them willing to take more risks.

"Da da da……"

The sound of messy horseshoes was getting closer and closer, and a scout with a feather on his back galloped past the marching column on the official road, and galloped towards the Xu Huang general flag not far away.

"Eight miles to the south, the road to Wangwu Mountain is blocked by a camp. The camp is quite large. If the garrison is full, there should be a thousand people."

Xu Huang listened to the scouts in front of him, and asked in a deep voice, "Is there any obvious difference between the surrounding terrain and the map of mountains and rivers?"

Hearing Xu Huang's question, the scout of the Yellow Turban Army immediately replied: "Reporting to the general, there is no obvious difference."

"but……"

The Yellow Turban scout seemed to have thought of something strange and hesitated.

Naturally, the expression on the face of the Yellow Turban scouts couldn't be concealed from Xu Huang's eyes. Xu Huang immediately said, "There's no need to hesitate, but it's okay to say it."

After the scout of the Yellow Turban Army made a complaint, he replied: "When I surveyed the size of the camp, I found that the flags flying on the camp were all the yellow flags of our Yellow Turban Army, and most of the soldiers on the watchtower were wearing yellow scarves on their heads. .”

This news made Xu Huang a little astonished. The mighty Yellow Turban Uprisings in various places were basically extinguished by the Han Dynasty in the seventh year of Guanghe.

Xu Huang is from Hedong. He joined Yang Feng's command in the south of Taihang Mountain, not far from Wangwu Mountain, but he has never heard of the Yellow Turban Army in Wangwu Mountain.

It has only been two or three years since the Yellow Turban incident, and the imperial court is now arresting members of the Taiping Dao in various places. Collusion with the Yellow Turban is a capital offense. with a yellow flag.

Under the banner of the Yellow Turban, it will only attract the encirclement and suppression of the Han army, which is tantamount to seeking death.

"Let's step back first, then investigate carefully and report the situation."

Xu Huang pressed his horsewhip and signaled the scout to step back.

"Duan Ping."

After Xu Huang pondered for a moment, he tilted his head and asked.

"Subordinates are here."

Beside Xu Huang, a general in black armor and a yellow robe around his waist agreed that he was the Sima of the army that followed Xu Huang.

"You choose an eloquent, bold and careful Fu Zhu from the headquarters. If the camp was really built by my Yellow Turban Army, if Fu Zhu comes forward, the sword may be saved."

"promise."

Duan Ping agreed, and immediately took the order and left without delay.

Xu Huang didn't have to wait long before the scouts of the Yellow Turban Army sent news that there was a probability of more than [-]% that the camp belonged to the Yellow Turban Army, and some scouts saw the scriptures on the Taiping Road on the banner on the camp.

After pondering for a while, Xu Huang led the restless Hualiu horse to turn the horse around, pointed the whip at the guard knights, and ordered.

"Send a messenger to the eldest son city and report this matter to the lord as soon as possible."

……

The sound of horseshoes sounded again, Zhao Ji looked at the front with some doubts, there seemed to be a lot of cavalry who sent orders today, could it be that they have already discovered the traces of the enemy?

After a while, the Yellow Turban cavalry had arrived at a gallop, and Zhao Ji could see the faces of the people coming.

"The fourth song, the second team leads Zhao Ji, see the army Sima!"

Zhao Ji put his legs together and bowed respectfully to Duan Ping.

"Exemption."

Duan Ping pulled the horse under his seat, inspected the people around Zhao Ji and asked: "Where is Tian Zhong, I have something important to find him."

"Tian Zhong met Jun Sima."

A Yellow Turban soldier holding a scepter came out from Zhao Ji's side.

In the Yellow Turban Army, Fu Zhu of the first team usually walks with the team leader when marching.

Duan Ping's eyes lit up, and he jumped off the horse.

"We have found something in the south. We may need an envoy. I have heard that Tian Fuzhu is eloquent. I wonder if I would like to go?"
