The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 298

In September of the fourth year of Zhongping, the news of Taihang in the north finally reached Xu An.

And Xu An also knew the reason for Zhang Baiqi's rebellion.

It was none other than Han Ting who controlled Zhang Baiqi.

The Han court promised Zhang Baiqi that as long as he raises troops, he will be named General Pingbei, and he will be given food and soldiers to support him.

This incident gave Xu An another warning.

If he captured Shangdang County, he would stop and attack Hedong County without stopping.

Instead, when Zhang Baiqi rebelled, I am afraid that if he wants to attack Hedong County or Bingzhou, then it is just a dream.

The Bingzhou Han army, which has no worries, can rush to assist Hedong County at any time, and can also resist the offensive of the Yellow Turban Army.

So far, Xu An's advantage is becoming smaller and smaller.

Familiar history is changing.

Beheading Zhang Yun, Zhu Jun and other Han generals, occupying Bingzhou, the Eighth Garden Forbidden Army was established in advance, and the edict to relocate the prefectural pastor was issued in advance.

All of this triggered a chain reaction.

This piece of history that he was once familiar with is gradually changing beyond recognition.

Now the butterfly effect has not had time to take effect, but one thing can be foreseen.

In the fifth year of Zhongping, the rebels in Youzhou went south, and the Yellow Turban Army in the four states recovered.

History will never be the same.

……

The news that Yan Zhong defeated Zhang Baiqi's [-] army with thousands of soldiers and horses spread throughout the northern part of Taihang in an instant.

Zhang Baiqi's ambush and the northern Taihang group of bandits all surrendered in anticipation. If they were only afraid of Zhang Baiqi, then facing the Yellow Turban Army, they would not even have the slightest idea of ​​resistance.

Facing Yan Zhong's request for credit, Xu An approved all of them with a stroke of his pen.

All the soldiers of the military battalion who followed Yan Zhong in the battle were awarded military merits, and Liu Shi was promoted to the General of Rebellion, temporarily under the control of Yan Zhong.

And those bandit leaders who followed Liu Shi to resist Zhang Baiqi's attack also got promotions, ranging from the chief of the village to the commander of the army according to their merits.

Among them, Zhu Jiu was the bravest fighter under Liu Shi's command. Because of Liu Shi's request, he was awarded the post of school lieutenant.

Pinghan and Daji died at the hands of Zhang Baiqi, Xu An also rewarded the title of general, and ordered people to collect the bones again, ordering them to be buried in the Taihang Mountains.

After all, although Ping Han and Da Ji were thieves and bandits before, they have really changed their minds since they surrendered, and they have never had any bad deeds. They have never discounted Xu An's orders and worked as hard as Guo Daxian and other leaders of the Yellow Turban Army.

It's a pity that although Pinghan and Daji had family members, Zhang Baiqi had already killed all of their family members, and those loyal and brave guards could not keep their children.

Yan Zhong completely subdued the Taihang bandits in the north by virtue of the first battle at the pass.

When Yan Zhong led his army to Feihuxing, there were already [-] soldiers.

All the soldiers Zhang Baiqi stayed behind also surrendered, and he brought [-] cavalry and more than [-] infantry to Yan Zhong.

However, the quality of many of the more than [-] people is naturally uneven, and Yan Zhong has no idea of ​​training them into an army.

Thanks to the long-term looting of these bandits, Yan Zhong is not short of food and grass.

The northern Taihang has been in chaos for a long time. Originally, there were not many mountain people, and even more rare after experiencing repeated turmoil.

There are no women, children, or elderly people in the mountains, and they are basically young and middle-aged, so they can survive in the northern Taihang.

Heishi Ridge in Feihu Xing is where Yan Zhong's army is stationed.

Feihu Ridge is the junction of Taihang Mountains, Yanshan Mountains and Hengshan Mountains.

Here is a grand canyon with a length of more than 100 Huali. It is full of Xiao Xiaoran, thousands of men draw their swords, and Lu Lixing gathers together.

Between the clouds and valleys, with the back of the Beijing tripod, the lock is heavy.

And Heishi Ridge is in the middle of the Grand Canyon.

Heishi Ridge is located at an altitude of more than 2000 meters. There are no trees or shrubs here, and the snow in some shady places does not melt all year round.

There is a castle on the ridge, next to a deep ravine, with a suspension bridge at the mouth of the ravine.Once the suspension bridge is pulled, there is indeed a trend of "one man guards the gate, and ten thousand men cannot open it".

Yan Zhong caressed the traces left by the years on the city wall, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Two cliffs stand steeply, with a line of slight passage, winding for more than a hundred miles. Squatting on a flying fox, strangling its throat and scratching its back, approaching You and Yanye."

"But it is such a strong city, such a steep terrain, but there is still no way to stick to it. The Han Dynasty has declined to this point, and there is not much time left."

Liu Shi, Zhu Jiu, and several generals of the Yellow Turban Army also stood on the city wall, following Yan Zhong forward slowly.

The mountain wind gradually became stronger, Yan Zhong tightened his robe slightly, glanced at the tents at the foot of the mountain, and then quickened his pace.

Everyone followed Yan Zhong in silence until they reached a closed building.

Liu Shi followed Yan Zhong into the closed building, and when he saw the situation in the closed building clearly, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

In the closed building, there was a man wearing a white eagle suit, and several eagle guards who were dressed in the same clothes but in different colors stood in the closed building.

Ever since he heard the information about the Eagle Wolf Guard from Yan Zhong last time, Liu Shi was quite afraid of the Eagle Wolf Guard in his heart.

After all, there is a force that will secretly observe you at any time, and it is even difficult to escape your every move. How can you not make people feel frightened.

However, Liu Shi did not do anything to offend the Yellow Turban Army, and even made meritorious deeds.

Liu Shi calmed down and observed the situation in the Guanlou. All the things that had been placed in the building, such as armaments, were cleared out, and replaced by a huge map of mountains and rivers.

Among them, the Taihang area in the north was dyed with light yellow dye, and the rest of the place was light red dye.

Liu Shi took a careful look and found the clue.

The place with light red dye is the Youzhou area of ​​the Han Empire, and the place with light yellow dye is the Taihang area in the north controlled by them.

Yan Zhong ignored the others, walked straight into the Guanlou, and stopped at the sand table in front of the terrain map of mountains and rivers.

Yingwei Tiqi has been doing reconnaissance for a long time. Until today, he finally inquired about the situation around the Flying Fox Xing, and made a sand table for easy observation.

Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju have now rebelled, and now Youzhou is full of wars.

The fighting between the rebel army and the soldiers of Youzhou County was in full swing, and several fierce battles broke out, but all of them ended in the defeat of the Han army.

Qi Chou, the lieutenant of Huwuhuan, died in battle, and the Han army in Youzhou was retreating steadily.

In Yan Zhong's view, this is a good opportunity.

The Taihang Eight Xing Yellow Turban Army only won six Xing, and only Jundu Xing and Zheguan Xing were not in the hands of the Yellow Turban Army.

Zheguanxing communicates with the two counties of Hedong in Hanoi, and is heavily defended, which is not important to the Yellow Turban Army.

But Junduxing, if it was placed before, was really not very important to the Yellow Turban Army, but now that Xu An occupies the entire Bingzhou, it is indeed very important for the Yellow Turban Army to take down Junduxing.

Although Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju replied to the Yellow Turban Army before, saying that they are willing to form an alliance.

But even so, the heart of defense is indispensable.
