The World of Yellow Sky

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 [-] soldiers under Guo Tai's command. Although the quality of 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, Fan Ye's "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" was written as Mrs. Guo in order to avoid taboos from his father, Fan Tai)
　The Baibo Army at the end of the Han Dynasty was not as famous as the Black Mountain Army in later generations, but in fact, in terms of record, the Baibo Army was much stronger than the Black Mountain Army led by Zhang Yan. Arriving in Luoyang caused shock in the ruling and opposition parties.

　　There is also Guo Tai, who, even though the main force of the Yellow Turban Army was defeated, still accumulated strength in the mountains, tried to develop, and resisted the Han Dynasty.
