The World of Yellow Sky

Although Tian Zhong was puzzled, he still nodded. He is a talisman of Taiping Dao and a devout believer. He never refuses orders.

Chapter 178 Guo Tai

The Wangwu Yellow Turban Army stationed in the camp quickly discovered the change in the north.

Some dense black spots appeared on the horizon, and after a while, the outline of a cavalry on the hills in the distance gradually became clear.

The yellow turban army in the watchtower beat the drum on the tower desperately, and the soldiers guarding the camp wall immediately returned to the camp and reported the news to the chief officer of the camp.

The whole camp also became flustered because of the cavalry appearing in the distance, and the sound of horns rang continuously in the camp.

After a full quarter of an hour, Hu Cai, the chief officer of the camp, hurried up to the watchtower of the camp with his own soldiers.

But as soon as he boarded the watchtower, he was petrified by the sight in front of him.

On the hills in the distance, there are banners of the Yellow Turban Army all over the place. Brigades of soldiers are coming south along the official road, and hordes of cavalry roar past the hills everywhere.

Countless yellow flags converged on the official road to form a galloping river.

The corner of Hu Cai's mouth twitched, and he pinched his thigh fiercely, knowing that all this was not an illusion.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked the guard.

"In these days, there should be no one in the mountains to lead troops out of the customs, right?"

The soldiers beside Hu Cai swallowed their saliva and said in a trembling voice, "No..."

"Then where did these people come from..."

Hu Cai felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave at this time. The Yellow Turban Army in front of him looked completely different from them. This Yellow Turban Army had a clear banner and a well-organized lineup. It was definitely not their part in the mountains. It was frightened and stunned.

Although the fortress was built relatively strong, and the camp guards were well prepared, there were only more than [-] people in the camp.

In order to guard against the Han army in Shangdang County, the camp originally had more than [-] people, but the conquest of the Yellow Turban Army in Wangwu Mountain was hindered recently.

The thieves and bandits in the mountain united to fight against the Yellow Turban Army in the Wangwu to unify the Wangwu, so a part of the soldiers were temporarily dispatched to support the battle in the mountain.

The leader of these Yellow Turbans gathered near Wangwu Mountain was Guo Tai, Qushuai of Taiping Road, who suffered setbacks in the Yellow Turban Uprising in the seventh year of Guanghe.

Guo Tai led his army to escape to the south of Taihang Mountain and Wangwu Mountain in time, avoiding the sharp edge of the Han army, and the soldiers under his command did not suffer too much loss.

Originally, Guo Tai wanted to occupy Taihang Xing, to support the great virtuous teachers in Jizhou, and the Yellow Turban Army from other states to re-invade Sili.

It's a pity that after waiting and waiting, what I received was the news that the great virtuous teacher Zhang Jiao died of illness, Guangzong, the Yellow Turban Army in Xiaquyang was defeated, and the two generals Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were beheaded by the Han army.

Guo Tai put out the idea of ​​attacking Sili, but he didn't give up Huang Tian's battle flag just yet.

Guo Tai believed that it was because of Tang Zhou's betrayal that they were not well-prepared, and the Yellow Turban Army mixed with fish and dragons from all over the place did some evil things and angered Huang Tian, ​​which made the Yellow Turban Army finally defeated.

That's why Zhang Jiao, a great virtuous teacher, was seriously ill, and Huang Tian no longer protected the Yellow Turban Army.

Guo Tai did not change his banner, he even wanted to go north to occupy the entire Taihang Mountains, and then plotted slowly.

It's a pity that there are bandits who have already taken Guo Tai one step ahead, controlling the main road from the south to the north of Taihang Mountain. Guo Tai's army is only more than [-] people, including old and weak women and children. The loss of the storm is really unacceptable.

Therefore, Guo Tai chose to go to Wangwu Mountain to seek development through Taihangxing, and then turned to Taihang Mountain.

In the second year of Zhongping, Guo Tai also heard that a Yellow Turban Army had risen in the Taihang Mountains and captured many territories in succession. The leader of that Yellow Turban Army was Xu An.

At that time, Guo Tai also wanted to go north to join forces with Xu An, but the southern part of Taihang Mountain was already occupied by Yang Feng, and because Guo Tai spent most of his energy in Wangwu Mountain, Taihang Xing, which was originally controlled by Yang Feng, was also taken down by Yang Feng.

So Guo Tai could only completely abandon the territory of Taihang Mountain and concentrate on attacking Wangwu Mountain.

Then until now, after nearly three years of hard work, Guo Tai has controlled two-thirds of the entire Wangwushan area.

There are also nearly 3 sergeants under Guo Tai's command. Although the quality of the soldiers varies, they are much better than ordinary bandits.

There are only a few thieves and bandits left in the whole royal house who are still fighting, and depending on the situation, they won't be able to hold on for long.

Just before that, Xu An led the army to the south and fought with Zhu Jun in Kuicheng. The news that Xu An defeated the Han army and killed Zhu Jun spread throughout China in just a month. Here comes the news.

Seeing that the situation was excellent, and the Yellow Turban Army in Wangwu was full of enthusiasm, Guo Tai began to gather the troops, hoping to take advantage of the high morale to complete the unification of Wangwushan.

But also because of this, the attention of the Wangwu Yellow Turban Army was attracted by this final battle, and they completely ignored the surrounding events. They still don't know that the entire Shangdang County has been led by the Yellow Turbans led by Xu An. The military took control.

And Xu An didn't know that there were so many Yellow Turbans in Wangwu Mountain at that time, after Xu An took Taihang Xing from Yang Feng, he didn't go further south.

At that time, I was suffering from money and food problems, transportation and other problems, so I stopped at Taihangxing, and chose to give up on the farther Zhiguanxing.

Although Xu An knew it in later generations, in 188, which was the fifth year of Zhongping, there was a remnant of the Yellow Turban Army resurgent in the Baibo Valley, named Baibo Army, and the leader was Guo Tai.

During the peak period, there were more than [-] followers under his command. Later, Guo Tai led the army to attack Taiyuan.

In the sixth year of Zhongping (189), Emperor Ling died and Emperor Shao was first established. Guo Da joined hands with the Xiongnu Nandan Yu Fuluo cavalry to go south and attack Hedong again.

Luoyang, the capital, was shaken. Taishi Dong Zhuo panicked, and hurriedly sent Zhonglang to intercept Niu Fu with his troops, but was killed by Guo Da and fled in defeat.

Taking advantage of the victory, Baibo Yellow Turban crossed the river via Shangdang and captured many counties and counties in Henan.

He even approached the city of Luoyang for a time, and in the east, Yuan Shao was the leader of the allied army against Dong, forcing Dong Zhuo to abandon Luoyang and take the Han emperor west to Chang'an.

Later, the Baibo Yellow Turban was disintegrated and disintegrated by Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Bei and others. The leader of the Baibo Army, Guo Tai, did not know why he suddenly disappeared.

Guo Tai's life and death were unknown, Yang Feng led the crowd to surrender, but Li Le, Han Xian, Hu Cai and others still insisted on fighting, which made people have to doubt Yang Feng.

Later, Yu Bu Yang Feng died at the hands of Liu Bei after Emperor Xian returned to the east; Han Siam wanted to flee Bingzhou, but was killed by Zhang Xuan, the commander of Zhuqiu County on the way; Hu Cai was killed by his enemy, and Li Le died of illness in Hedong.

After the second year of Jian'an (197) of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, the remaining tribes of Baibo were annexed by Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and others.

This Yellow Turban Uprising Army, which was as powerful as the Montenegro Army, eventually went to destruction.

Although Xu An knew about the existence of Baibo Yellow Turban, he had just conquered Shangdang County and had many affairs to deal with.

And at this time, Xu An didn't know that Guo Tai was in Wangwu Mountain in the third year of Zhongping 186, so he didn't give Xu Huang any reminder.

So that when Xu Huang led the Taihang Yellow Turban Army southward, the two Yellow Turban Army Taihang and Wangwu met for the first time, but the two sides looked at each other, not knowing who the other party was.

Guo Tai and Fan Ye were written as Mrs.

Chapter 179

Hu Cai stood on the barracks, pressed his hands on the barracks wall to support his body, beads of sweat slowly oozed from his forehead.

"Commander, the letter has been sent."

A personal guard hurriedly boarded the camp wall from the horse path, and Hu Cai was slightly relieved by the news.

He saw the Yellow Turbans outside the camp, and after reacting, he immediately sent several groups of messengers to Wangwu Mountain to send a letter to Guo Tai and ask for help from the nearby Yellow Turbans.

Hu Cai followed Guo Tai all the way out from the sea of ​​corpses and blood. Naturally, he also saw some clues about the Yellow Turbans outside the camp.

But also because of this, Hu Cai quickly sent a messenger to ask for reinforcements. Right now, he didn't know whether the opponent was an enemy or a friend. He could only consider the worst situation and temporarily regarded the Yellow Turban army outside the camp as an enemy.

Although the camp occupies a dangerous position, there are only more than 5000 people among them, and the Yellow Turban Army in the distance has at least more than [-] people. Hu Cai really does not have the confidence to hold on to the camp.

If the opponent attacks, the best result is that the soldiers in the entire camp fight to the last soldier, and they may be able to hold on for more than seven or eight days, and this is still considering that the opponent has no siege equipment.

The steel forest composed of spears and halberds was slowly pressing towards the camp, and the front line of soldiers dressed in armor and holding shields and halberds almost made Hu Cai's heart stop beating.

"woo"

The continuous sound of horns sounded in the marching Yellow Turban Army. Accompanied by sharp screams and scolding by generals, the entire Yellow Turban Army formation slowly stopped moving forward.

Hu Cai wiped off the sweat from his forehead, and clenched the ring-sword at his waist.

Hu Cai was not the only one who felt the pressure, the entire camp of the Yellow Turban Army was extremely nervous at this time.

The wind was blowing, blowing the khaki-colored banners on the camp, and blowing up countless khaki-colored battle flags not far from the front of the camp.

More than [-] Yellow Turban soldiers stood in formation in front of the camp, and the yellow scarves wrapped around their heads gathered together.

Just like the autumn harvest season, the rice fields on the endless plain are as spectacular as the sea.

Hu Cai narrowed his eyes slightly, and in front of him a group of cavalry with yellow flags was galloping from the formation of the Yellow Turban Army outside the camp.

With a distance of more than one mile, the team of cavalry arrived on a mound in front of the camp in an instant, only seventy or eighty steps away from the camp guarded by Hu Cai.

Hu Cai looked carefully, this group of soldiers was indeed dressed like a Yellow Turban Army, just when Hu Cai was hesitating whether to send troops out of the camp to negotiate with them.

Holding a scepter, wearing a yellow scarf around his head, and wearing a Taoist robe, Fu Zhu had already taken a step ahead, and slowly rode forward.

Seeing that the soldiers on the camp were a little nervous, and even two or three people opened their bows and crossbows, Hu Cai quickly turned around and ordered: "Don't shoot the arrows."

If someone in the camp really shoots arrows, even if it is a friend or not an enemy, it will be difficult to tell at that time.

Tian Zhong was ordered to go on a mission, and he was a little nervous at first, but now he saw the soldiers in the camp with yellow scarves on their heads and the yellow flags flying, the tension in his heart disappeared for some reason.

Tian Zhong pulled the docile war horse under his crotch, and said loudly: "A certain is the Taixing Taiping Dao talisman Zhu Tian Zhong, are there believers in my Taiping Dao in the camp?"

"Tai Xing Tai Ping Dao?"

Hu Cai poked his head out, observed the Fu Zhu near the camp, and replied.

"We are indeed believers of the Taiping Dao, but shouldn't you be in the Taihang Mountains, why did you come from Shangdang County?"

Tian Zhong asked with some doubts: "Could it be that you don't know what happened in Shangdang County?"

Seeing that the rest of the knights hadn't stepped forward, Hu Cai stood by the camp wall and talked to Tian Zhong with half of his body exposed: "I only knew that General Xu went south to fight the Han army in Kuicheng and personally beheaded Zhu Jun, but I didn't hear that What happened in Shangdang County."

Tian Zhong replied: "After the great virtuous master killed Zhu Jun, he followed Taihang Xing all the way to the north, first broke the Gaodu City, and then broke the Han army in Changping. Now the thirteen cities of Shangdang County, all the townships have been settled. Return to Huang Tian."

"The reinforcements of the Han army in Bingzhou were blocked by our army in the northern part of Shangdang County. Both the northeast of Shangdang County are controlled by our army. This time, the great virtuous teacher sent me here to take down Wangwu and Taiyue. , control the pass, and isolate the Han army outside the pass."

"Shangdang County has already belonged to Huang Tian?"

The Yellow Turban soldiers in the camp were all shocked by the news. Although some of them doubted what Tian Zhong said, Tian Zhong and others did come from the direction of Shangdang County, which cannot be faked.

You must know that if you want to go south from Shangdang County, you must pass through Gaodu City in Shangdang County.

Tian Zhong had a panoramic view of the chaotic scene in the camp, and he continued: "Since you say you are believers in the Taiping Dao, you dare to ask who Qu Shuai is. We have never heard of the existence of the Yellow Turban Army in Wangwu Mountain."

Hu Cai calmed down and said: "Our leader is Guo Tai, Qu Shuai of Taiping Road in Wei County. We entered Taihang Mountain from Fukouxing in the seventh year of Guanghe and went all the way south to Wangwu. It also belongs to Huang Tian's rule."

"Guo Tai..."

Tian Zhong recalled the list of Qushuai in Taipingdao, and it seemed that there was indeed a Qushuai whose name was Guo Tai.

Hu Cai heard Tian Zhong's address, and asked suspiciously: "Is the great virtuous teacher still there?"

General Tiangong, General Earth, and General Rengong are already dead, so who can dare to be called a great virtuous teacher?

"My lord is the personal disciple of General Rengong, who is in charge of the immortal book Taiping Jing. Now it is a place of thousands of miles between Shangdang and Taihang. He killed Zhu Jun in battle and rejected Lu Zhi in the north. He is famous all over the world. He has already been promoted to a great virtuous teacher. Master of the Way of Peace."

Hu Cai frowned slightly and replied.

"Since both of our armies are believers in the Taiping Dao, you also want to occupy Wangwu Mountain to prevent the Han army from the south from entering Shangdang. My Commander Qu is sitting in the mountain. Naturally, the Han army cannot threaten Shangdang County from Wangwu Mountain. How about Temporarily retreat your troops, and wait for us to find out the situation in Shangdang County."

"Just listening to what you say here alone is really unconvincing."

Tian Zhong thought for a while and suggested.

"I'm just a talisman, and I still can't make the decision on the matter of retreating. Since the commander wants to know the situation in Shangdang County, why not send an envoy out of the camp, and go to the eldest son city of Shangdang County with our army's envoys, and meet the general. Good teacher, when they return to the camp, the commander will naturally know whether what I said is true or not."

"This is a way..."

Hu Cai nodded, and sent envoys to the city of the eldest son. When those envoys came back, they would naturally know whether what this person said was true or false, and he could also hold the troops outside the camp to stop temporarily.

But Hu Cai was also a little worried, these Yellow Turban soldiers wanted to lure his people out of the camp, and took the opportunity to find out what was true in the camp, but they still agreed.

"According to what you said, but it will take some time to select personnel. I will send someone with you to the eldest son city to meet the great virtuous teacher tomorrow. Do you think this is okay?"

The camp is well equipped and the terrain is dangerous. If you delay for another day and a half, you will definitely be able to wait for the reinforcements to arrive.

"Okay, just as the commander said, then I will return to the formation first and report to my general."

"Fu Zhu walk slowly."

Hu Cai arched his hands and saluted.

After Tian Zhong agreed, he led his horse back to the group of knights, and those knights of the Yellow Turban Army quickly withdrew from the mound and galloped all the way to the formation of the Yellow Turban Army outside the camp.

Hu Cai also let out a long sigh of relief as he looked at the group of cavalrymen that were slowly blurring in front of him.

Chapter 1: The Eagle Watches the Wolf Gu

Zhongping three years, October 27th.

The streets of the eldest son city are not different from those in the past, and there is no obvious change in the city. The latest news is that a mansion facing the street in the north of the city has been requisitioned by the Yellow Turban Army.

Dozens of soldiers with yellow scarves in full armor stood outside the gate of this house, and two stone statues stood on both sides of the gate.

A stone statue on the right is carved with a goshawk standing on a rock. The goshawk bows slightly and spreads its wings slightly, as if it is inspecting the prey under its feet.
