The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 171: An Nei Must Stop Foreigners First
"Is this the aristocratic nobles?"

Looking at the tyrants of the gentry in the distance, Gong didn't bother to sneer.

Yan Zhong unfolded his silk fan, stared at the people leaving outside the hall, and said calmly: "With the blade of the axe, those who dare to resist are a minority after all. Now that the entire Shangdang County has belonged to Huang Tian, ​​there is no reason not to surrender." .”

"Is it true that those who call themselves princes and generals are nobler than us?"

Xu An held down the copy in front of him, and looked around at the generals of the Yellow Turban Army standing in the hall.

"Prince and general, I would rather have a seed!"

"Chen Sheng and Wu Guang who raised the rebellion, are they any nobles? Before Liu Bang raised his troops, he was just a pavilion chief, but he won the world, not the so-called nobles of the Six Kingdoms."

The sun shone on Xu An's body, and the khaki yellow robe actually shone a little under the sunlight.

"We are all descendants of Yanhuang Miao, so how can there be any distinction between high and low with the same blood? These so-called nobles who are now high above are just enjoying the favor that their ancestors fought hard to take down."

"Gentleman's Ze, cut off for five lifetimes, and now I don't know how many lifetimes have passed, and it's time to die."

Xu An sat in the first seat, and all the generals of the Yellow Turban Army in the hall looked at Xu An enthusiastically.

Taihang was pacified, Jinyang was captured, and Zhu Jun, who was "prestige all over the world", was beheaded by his formation, repelling the famous Han general Lu Zhi, and now he led them to capture the entire territory of Shangdang County. system, the court cannot discuss it.

"Today, I will gather a crowd wrapped in yellow scarves, and I will surely revolutionize the destiny in the world. The Han Dynasty is exhausted, and Huangtian will definitely replace it!"

"Now that the chaos has broken out, and a great war is about to break out, please continue to fight and take down this Divine Land for me, Huang Tian!"

As soon as Xu An's words fell, Liu Pi in the hall had already bowed down and bowed down. Tears glistened in the eyes of this devout yellow angel.

The defeat in Xia Quyang almost destroyed all of Liu Pi's confidence. It was Xu An who led them into the Taihang Mountains and climbed out of the bottomless abyss, rekindling hope in his heart.

"It was because I, Huang Tian, ​​wiped away all evil and evil in this world, and brought peace to the world!"

"The sky is dead, Huang Tian stands!"

All the generals of the Yellow Turban Army bowed down and bowed down, even Yan Zhong was no exception.

……

"In the Battle of Gaodu City, our army had a total of 2120 casualties, and 352 wounded soldiers recovered and returned to the camp."

"In the Battle of Bachi Mountain, our army had a total of 7342 casualties, and 874 wounded soldiers recovered and returned to the camp."

……

Xu An sat at the head, listening to Yan Zhong's report.

Although the number of internal affairs personnel under his command has been filled, compared with the large Shangdang County of Nuo Da, it is still not enough.

In the past six months, Yan Zhong has selected some bright children to teach his elders to learn to read and do arithmetic.

There are also some literate Fu Zhu in the Yellow Turban Army, and alchemists will also come to help Yan Zhong handle some government affairs after preaching.

After capturing Shangdang County, they also got some thieves and bandits, a small group of Yellow Turbans took refuge in them, and there were also some literate people among them. burden.

They even forcibly recruited some literate and hyphenated personnel from small and powerful families in the countryside to handle the documents.

However, such assistance is still limited. During this time, Yan Zhong has been busy with this kind of affairs.

Suddenly taking over the entire Shangdang County, Yan Zhong had to immerse himself in the files.

Fortunately, the Yellow Turban Army had a large number of soldiers, and Xu An's military order was in advance to maintain law and order in various places. Otherwise, Shangdang County would have been in chaos at this time.

"Not counting our army's garrisons in various places, our army now has a total of 27582 people, of which there are only 872 cavalry. The nobles and powerful families in Shangdang County have a lot of horses that can be recruited. Those who can ride in the army have been compiled There are currently 450 people in the record book, as long as you have horses, you can form an army, but the combat power must have declined."

Most of Xu An's cavalry are from Jizhou and Bingzhou, and people from these two places have more opportunities to get in touch with horses.

However, it is still difficult for ordinary people to get acquainted with riding skills, and most of the people selected into the cavalry are rangers from all over the world.

When Xu An went south to fight Zhu Jun outside Kuicheng, those more than [-] Yellow Turban cavalry were selected in this way, and they had to train for several months before they could barely fight.

Fortunately, it was the cavalry of Hanoi, not the elite cavalry of Bingzhou and Jizhou. Otherwise, even with the trump card of equipped heavy cavalry, there was a high probability that they would not be able to win.

However, although the victory in the battle of Kuicheng made Xu An's momentum soar, it also weakened the cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army a lot, and there were few soldiers who knew how to ride.

Although Shangdang County belongs to Bingzhou, the terrain is rugged, so there are relatively few horses and people who know how to ride.

That is to say, now Xu An can no longer gather cavalry comparable to the Han army in a short period of time.

Although the main force of the Han army was restrained by the rest of the parties, and the initiative was in the hands of Xu An, lacking cavalry support, Xu An did not dare to attack from Shangdang County and Taihang Mountain too deep into the hinterland of the Han Empire.

"Zuo Xiao, Guo Daxian, and Zuo Miaozhangba have been incorporated into the lord's command, and they have been appointed as school lieutenants to command a part of the army."

Yan Zhong took a map of mountains and rivers from the desk beside him. The map was quite large, depicting the cities and towns and large settlements in Shangdang County, as well as the surrounding Taihang Mountains, Wangwu Mountains, and Taiyue Mountains. .

In the picture, the Wangwu Mountain Range, some bandit forces in the Taiyue Mountain Range, and the location of the pass are marked in detail.

After Xu An defeated the main force of Shangdang County in August, he sent out some scouts to inquire about the information of the two places, and then drew them on the map collected by Shangdang County.

After obtaining Xu An's permission, he commanded the soldiers to hang it in the hall.

"The entire territory of Shangdang County has been controlled by our army. All the passes in the east are guarded. There is no need to worry about it for the time being. However, the Han army can still pose a certain threat to Shangdang County from Wangwu Mountain and Taiyue Mountain in the west."

"The situation in the Wangwu Mountains and Taiyue Mountains is almost the same as when my lord first entered the Taihang Mountains. There are many mountains and bandits everywhere."

Everyone's eyes followed the wooden stick in Yan Zhong's hand, and walked on the mountain and river terrain map of Shangdang County.

"It has been more than a month now, and the scouts we sent out also received news that the Han army near the two mountain ranges had some changes, and even attacked and wiped out several bandits in the mountains. stronghold."

"The civil war in Shangdang County has ended, and the gentry tyrants all over the county were defeated in the Battle of Changping, and their resistance was greatly reduced. Judging from the performance just now, it is not enough for the time being."

"In today's situation, I think that we must fight against the outside world first in order to secure the inside. The main roads in the Wangwu Mountain Range and the Taiyue Mountain Range must be in the hands of our army. Only in this way can we ensure the stability of the outside world and develop with peace of mind."

Yan Zhong continued to speak with a solemn expression.

"Otherwise, as long as a small group of Han troops enter the hinterland of Shangdang County, the impact on the Lord's prestige will inevitably be affected, and it will ignite some other thoughts in the hearts of those gentry tyrants who have already surrendered."
