The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 219
Meiyang Han army camp.

The frame carrying the angel, under the protection of a group of guards, slowly drove into the camp where Zhang Wen was.

The Taiwei Zhang Wen thought that the bandits had not been defeated, so he was exempted; Situ Cui Lie was the Taiwei.

The angel who finished preaching the edict didn't say too much, and bluntly withdrew Zhang Wen's tiger charm and military power.

In just a short moment, the rebel who had been ordered to attack Han Sui, Bian Zhang, and Beigong Boyu.

In Meiyang, leading the Han army to repel the Xiliang iron cavalry in one fell swoop, the powerful Taiwei fell down from the high position of Sangong in this way.

In the fourth year of Zhongping (187), at the end of April, the entire Liangzhou had been captured by Han Sui and Wang Guo, and the Han Empire completely lost control of Liangzhou.

The coalition forces of Han Sui and Wang Guo defeated the main force of the Liangzhou Han army led by Geng Bi in one fell swoop, and quickly captured the pressure brought by the six counties of Liangzhou.

After seizing the entire territory of Liangzhou, they did not stop there. Instead, they continued to advance eastward, seeming to want to attack the Sanfu area in one go.

The change of the rebels in Liangzhou also caused the Han Empire to panic. Liu Hong issued three urgent orders to transfer the army led by Yuan Pang to Meiyang again to consolidate the defense of the Han army in Meiyang.

Yuan Pang was ordered to keep the two county soldiers behind, and quickly rushed to the Meiyang area with the rest of the soldiers.

The situation in Hedong also slowly developed into a stalemate. After the battle of Fenshui, the Yellow Turban Army led by Xu An was temporarily unable to continue going south or north.

At present, just to maintain the rule of half of Hedong County, Xu An is already in a bit of a state of distress.

With Fenshui as the boundary, the area to the north, except for Puzi City which is still under the control of the Han army, the rest of the cities and villages are under the control of Xu An.

In the southern area, although the local soldiers of Hedong County suffered heavy casualties in the battle of crossing the river, with the help of the navy and the two Han troops left by Yuan Pang, they were not afraid of the Yellow Turban Army going south again.

As Yan Zhong and Xu An reached a consensus after discussion, the main force of the Han army had already retreated, leaving only a defensive force in the south of Hedong County.

However, there was a change in Hedong County that Xu An did not expect. The emperor Liu Hong actually allowed to train Xiangyong in Hedong County to guard against the Yellow Turban Army in the north.

Although the aristocratic and powerful families in various places had raised a lot of disciples, rangers, and some private soldiers, but this was not made public after all.

With the emperor's permission, the Haoqiang of Hedong County formed several rebel armies in the local area in just a few days.

Yingwei's Tiqi passed pieces of information to Liu Pi's desk. According to incomplete statistics, there were a total of [-] more township braves in Hedong County during this period.

Counting the remaining [-] soldiers in Hedong County and the two troops left by Yuan Pang, the number of Han troops in Hedong County has once again climbed to more than [-].

These so-called country braves may not be able to attack cities or field battles, but they are more than enough to defend cities and fortresses.

The township braves recruited by Hedong County also completely ruined Xu An's idea of ​​going south to fight the autumn wind.

Moreover, invisibly, Xu An had to send a large amount of military power to Jiangyi and Linfen.

Currently, under the rule of Xu An, the Taihang Eight Xings are guarded by Puyin Xing and Pinghan, Feihu Xing is guarded by Daji, and Fukou Xing and Jing Xing are guarded by Pei Yuanshao and Huang Long.

Because of Liu Pi's departure, the task of defending Jingxing was handed over to Huanglong, while Baique was guarded by Baique, who had surrendered before Xu An went south to conquer the Southern Taihang bandits, and Yu Du was in charge of guarding Taihangxing.

Yu Du did not perform well in the battle of Kuicheng last time, even because of a mistake in command, both Huang San and Sui Gu fell in the battle.

Before Yu Du was in Fengjiangtai, he was named General Xuanwei, but because of the defeat of Kuicheng, he was demoted to Captain Xuanwei.

However, after knowing the shame and then being brave, Xu An told Yu Du about the civil uprising in Xingyang in advance, and asked Yu Du to respond to the rebels in Xingyang.

Yu Du led his troops out of the Tianjingguan Pass in Taihang Xing, and before Huangfusong had assembled his army, he even managed a few small victories.

It also made Huangfu Song guard against the Yellow Turban Army at Tianjingguan, and dared not lead his troops to withdraw from Hanoi to aid Xingyang and Zhongmou. Although the Xingyang Rebel Army failed in the end, Yu Du also delayed the time for the Han army to destroy the Xingyang Rebel Army to a certain extent.

This can be regarded as further weakening some of the power of the Han Empire, and Yu Du's actions also prevented the county soldiers in Hanoi from assisting Hedong and Henan.

Although Wangwushan is still under the sphere of influence of the Baibo army, it is actually under the rule of Xu An, but the Zhiguanxing located in Wangwushan is still firmly in the hands of the Han army.

At this time, Han Siam also withdrew from Zhongtiao Mountain and entered Wangwu Mountain. The terrain of Zhongtiao Mountain was rugged, but there were many roads out of the mountain and into the mountain.

The fighting in the north of Hedong County has also temporarily subsided. If they stay in Zhongtiao Mountain, they may be at risk of being encircled by the Han army.

Originally, it was necessary to defend so many main roads at the same time, and in addition to using a large number of steps to attack Hedong County, the strength of the Yellow Turban Army is already stretched.

At this time, if the Baibo army under Han Siam was besieged in Zhongtiao Mountain again, Xu An would not be able to send troops to rescue. Without the Baibo army led by Han Siam, the defense of the Yellow Turban Army at Wangwu Mountain would be very weak.

Huangfusong is currently stationed in Hanoi. If he knows that Han Siam has been wiped out, Wangwushan's defenses are weak, and he will definitely take action. If Wangwushan is easy to defend, the Yellow Turban Army will really be in a difficult situation.

So after the Han army retreated, Xu An immediately ordered Yingwei's ti to ride a fast horse to send a message to Han Siam, asking him to lead the troops back to Wangwu Mountain again.

On the second day after Han Xian led the troops to withdraw from Zhongtiao Mountain, the corridor between Zhongtiao and Wangwu Mountains was cut off by the Han troops who came from Dongyuan and Wenxi.

After Han Xian received the news that the Han army cut off the mountain road, he was also in a cold sweat. If it was later, the Han army from the north and the south blocked the way, I am afraid that a lot of soldiers will be lost up.

Except for Taihang Baxing, Xu An, the garrison of Shangdang County, was originally handed over to Liu Pi, but after capturing the northern part of Hedong County, Xu An needed Liu Pi to come to Hedong County to stabilize the situation.

Therefore, the current defense task of Shangdang County was handed over to the original Taihang Mountains, which had long been in the hands of the three Lutai families under Xu An's command. Zhao Le was in charge of internal affairs, Wang Ren was in charge of the defense of the northern part of Shangdang County, and Li Heng was in charge of Shangdang. County.

The Baibo Army led by Guo Tai stationed troops in the Luliang Mountain area in the south of Puzi City, and He Man led a group of elite soldiers to station in Caisangjin. The two joined forces, both based in Beiqu City.

Previously, Wang Yi, the prefect of Hedong County, led the army to cross to the north to attack He Man, who was in the north of Fenshui. Han army.

After the complete retreat of the Han army, He Man was sent by Xu An to collect Sangjin to support Guo Tai, while Zhang Yan was left behind to defend the Changyuandu area north of Fenshui.

Xu An is the main force in command of the Yellow Turban Army, sitting in Pingyang City to maintain stability.

The Yellow Turban Army used Yong'an City as a barrier in the northeast of Hedong County to defend the possible invasion of Taiyuan County.

From Yong'an City to Pingyang City, and then to Linfen, it is almost a straight line, with Taiyue Mountain and Luliang Mountain on both sides, and there is only an aisle in the middle, and Yong'an City is across the aisle.

It is completely impossible to cross Yong'an to attack the hinterland of Hedong County, unless it is a wandering bandit who lives by plundering.
