The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 155 Lu Zhi
Zhongping three years, summer, August [-]th.

Taiyuan County, Jinyang City.

All the civil servants in the government office lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at Zhang Yi.

"There are Xiongnu in the north, Yellow Turbans in the south, and no support army. What am I supposed to do to rescue Shangdang!"

Zhang Yi kicked over the copybook in front of him. At this moment, he only felt his head was as big as a bucket.

Just after Zhang Yi received the warning from Luoyang, just one day after he sent the messenger to Gaodu to report, the news that Gaodu was besieged by the Yellow Turban Army had already spread to Jinyang City.

The news of Zhu Jun's defeat in Kuicheng made Zhang Yi's expression even worse.

The Taihang Yellow Turban Army led by Xu An defeated the [-] Han army led by Zhu Jun in Kuicheng, and now with the victorious army, they went north to attack Shangdang County.

The imperial court asked him to defend Shangdang County, but what would Zhang Yi do to defend it!
The connection between Shangdang County and the northern part of Bingzhou has been cut off by the Yellow Turban Army in Taihang Mountain. If you want to enter Shangdang County through the official road, you must first wipe out the more than [-] Taihang Yellow Turban Army entrenched around the official road.

Just relying on the county soldiers who have just been formed in his hands?

Now the Han army gathered outside the Yangyi city in Jinzhong only has more than [-] county soldiers. Zhang Yi doesn't think these county soldiers under his command can break through the defense line of the Taihang Yellow Turban Army in a short time.

The Battle of Jinyang took place last year, and he could not be more clear about the strength of the Yellow Turban Army under Xu An's command.

Moreover, even Zhu Jun was defeated by Xu An, making Zhang Yi even less confident.

These more than [-] county soldiers are the only field troops that Zhang Yi can mobilize now. If they lose the battle, it means that Bingzhou has no strength to take the initiative to attack.

"If it wasn't for the change of the Huns in the north, An Neng would have allowed you jumping clowns to be rampant!"

Zhang Yi slammed the wall hard and cursed angrily.

Nowadays, the Xiongnu in the north frequently change, and the bandit Zhang Baiqi and others from Taihang Mountain come out to attack again. The Huns in the north are obviously more threatening.

Zhang Yi was able to rely on the county soldiers in the interior of Bingzhou, although Zhang Yi sent messengers to summon the army when he received a warning from Luoyang.

But it will take time for the soldiers from Shangjun and Xijun to gather here. At this time, the Han army coming from Shangjun and Xijun is still half a day away from Yangyi City.

However, there had been no news from Gaodu for two days. With Gaodu's more than [-] county soldiers, Zhang Yi didn't think Gao would last long.

A messenger quickly walked into the government office, and Zhang Yi's face changed slightly. In the past few days, bad news came one after another. Every time the messenger came in, he always brought bad news, which made Zhang Yi's nerves All a little tense.

"General Lu has arrived at Yangyi City."

"It's finally good news..." Zhang Yi's tense nerves finally relaxed a little.

The situation in Bingzhou was urgent, Zhang Yi needed to guard Jinyang City, and could not lead the army himself, and to be honest, he did not have the confidence to beat Xu An.

So he sent several memorials to ask the imperial court to send soldiers to come. The Taihang Yellow Turban defeated Zhu Jun, and the soldiers pointed directly at Luoyang, the capital, shaking the world, and finally made this behemoth feel a little vigilant.

When Huangfusong confirmed that the Taihang Yellow Turban Army was going north to invade Shangdang County, the court in Luoyang changed from the usual sluggishness, and in just half a day, they agreed on the candidates to go to Bingzhou to lead the soldiers of each county.

Huangfusong wanted to lead the troops to guard against the capital Luoyang, so naturally he couldn't be easily mobilized. Only with Huangfusong around could the emperor of the capital feel at ease.

Although the Ten Permanent Attendants held a grudge against Huangfusong, but the situation was critical, they needed to rely on Huangfusong to guard the capital, they were not stupid, and they were more life-saving than ordinary people.

So they thought of Lu Zhi who is now serving as a minister in Luoyang.

After agreeing on the candidate, Lu Zhi was soon named General of Chariots and Cavalry, and went to Bingzhou to conquer the Yellow Turban of Taihang.

The Luoyang imperial army could not be mobilized, and the main force of the Han army was in the northwest at this time. Lu Zhi also knew that the situation was critical, so he took hundreds of soldiers and headed towards Bingzhou, and finally arrived at the Han army camp in Yangyi in early August.

……

"Meet the General!"

The Han army camp outside Yangyi City, and all the Han army generals and schools in the Chinese army tent bowed down together.

With a Han sword hanging on his waist and a crimson battle robe, Lu Zhi quickly stepped into the Chinese army's tent with several personal guards.

"Don't gossip, you should know the information about the 'Moth Thief' in the south these days, and report it quickly now."

Lu Zhilong walked to the first seat of the Chinese army tent, and then asked all the generals in the tent.

An officer dressed as a military commander hurried forward and explained the current situation to Lu Zhi.

"The Taihang 'Moth Thieves' that cut off our army's access to the south of Shangdang County are divided into four divisions. One is Xu An's general Liu Pi. There are about [-] people stationed beside the official road. Three camps in the south of our army camp. Ten miles away."

"The other three 'moth thieves' are Zuo Xiao, Guo Daxian, and Zuo Miaozhangba, with a scale of about [-] people. Their camps are centered on Liu Pi, and they are located in various strategic positions beside the official road. for aid."

Taking advantage of the army Sima's explanation, the two guards also unfolded the terrain map of the mountains and rivers near Yangyi on the desk in front of Lu Zhi.

After listening to the information about the Taihang Yellow Turban that the Han Army Sima had cut off the official road, Lu Zhi said calmly: "Gaodu's 'moth thief' is powerful, and the defenders of Shangdang County should not be stupid enough to support Gaodu."

"Did the soldiers from Shangdang County gather at the south of the official road?"

Sima of the Han army wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied: "Five days ago, I got in touch with Shangdang County from Xiaodao. The Han army in Shangdang County camped twenty miles south of the 'Moth Thief' camp. The remaining people are under the command of Shangdang County Army Sima Guo Hua."

Lu Zhi tapped his finger on the copy in front of him, as if he was thinking about something, all the generals of the Han army in the tent did not dare to speak, Lu Zhi had a resolute character, and he studied under Taiwei Chen Qiu, his temper was similar to those of the generals of the Han army heard.

After Huangfu Song quelled the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Lu Zhi was promoted to be the General's meritorious service, and Lu Zhi became Minister, and now he has been added as General of Chariots and Cavalry.

After a while, Lu Zhi raised his head and looked at the Sima of the Han army who reported, and asked coldly, "How long will it take for the reinforcements from Shangjun and Xijun to arrive?"

"There are 3000 reinforcements from Xijun. We can reach Yangyi before dusk today. The journey to Shangjun is a bit farther. There are 4000 reinforcements. It may take another three days."

Staring at Lu Zhi's sharp eyes, Sima of the Han army felt as uncomfortable as a light on his back.

"Guo Hua, Sima of the Messenger Army, will go out at [-] o'clock tomorrow to attack the 'moth thief' near the official road."

Lu Zhi stood up, walked to the side of the Sima of the Han army and gave instructions.

After receiving the echo from the Sima of the Han Army, Lu Zhi stood in the tent, looked around with a pair of eagle eyes at the generals of the Han Army in the big tent, and said in a deep voice.

"Time is running out, don't wait for the reinforcements from Shangjun, cook at Maoshi tomorrow, and go out at four o'clock."

"promise."

In the tent of the Han army, all the generals and schools of the Han army agreed in unison.
