The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 371
"A great virtuous teacher arrives!"

The shouts of the guards came from outside the house, and everyone looked towards the door together.

The door was pushed open, Xu An walked into the house first, followed by Liu Pi and walked into the house together.

Xu An glanced at the generals seated in the house, he was originally nervous because of the upcoming series of major events, but he couldn't help but relax.

In the old days when he first entered the Taihang Mountains, he had no more than two hundred soldiers, no more than Liu Pi and Gong Du.

Now it is a land of twelve counties, with tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, and more than a million people under his rule, and the number of generals following him is like carp crossing the river.

Xu An is already far ahead. Yuan Shao, the fourth generation and three princes, has not yet occupied Jizhou, Yuan Shu has not reached Runan County, dominating the land of Jianghuai, Cao Cao, who is known as a hero in troubled times, has not yet raised his banner in Chenliu County, and Liu Bei is still in power. It's just an ordinary general under Liu Yu's command. Liu Biao has not yet entered Jingzhou alone.

Those heroes at the end of the Han Dynasty have not yet developed, but Xu An has already mastered a good military force and has a stable foundation.

Although Bingzhou is sparsely populated, its benefits are also obvious. It sits on a dangerous checkpoint, and only a small amount of army defense can make the rear inviolable.

Now that the Xiongnu and Shanggu Wuhuan belonged, Xu An added a lot of manpower.

In particular, the Shanggu Wuhuan tribe brought even greater surprises to Xu An. Wuhuan already had people who knew how to cultivate the fields, and the Yellow Turban Army’s implementation of the villages in Shanggu County and Dai County also received their extensive support. The Huan people broke away from the nomadic life and joined the village.

Most of these Wuhuan people are members of small tribes. They don't have many cattle and sheep. They can occupy fertile pastures on the grasslands. They have always been those powerful tribes. In many cases, they rely on the crops they grow for their livelihood.

Therefore, when they heard the news that the agricultural tax collected by Mintun was extremely low, they immediately chose to join the sequence of Mintun. This was unexpected for Fu Qi, who was in charge of agricultural administration.

Shanggu Wuhuan Master Nanlou also expressed his support for this. These small tribes are actually dispensable to Nanlou. Wouldn't it be better if fewer tribes occupy the pastures.

And in fact, what Xu An didn't know was that Nanlou wanted to be a prince of the Han region more than Wuhuan's Shanyu.

Shanggu Wuhuan and the Han court had a close relationship, and Nan Lou lived in the Han area for a long time, and even the teacher who taught him was a Confucian student in the Han area, and he respected the Han culture very much.

Moreover, life in the Han land, even if it is just merchants, in Nanlou's eyes, is a hundred times more free and comfortable than life in the bitter cold grassland.

This is also one of the reasons why Nanlou wanted to marry his daughter to Xu An. Nanlou really wanted to enter the Han land and become a free and easy prince.

Xu An walked steadily to the first seat and sat down. Liu Pi also sat in his own seat, and his seat was the first on Xu An's right.

There is no doubt that Liu Pi's status is the highest among all the generals and schools of the Yellow Turban Army.

The rest of the seats are arranged basically according to the position and status.

First Liu Pi, and then Gong Du were the first to follow Xu An, and they were the leaders on the left and right respectively, so it was naturally indisputable.

Then came Zhang Yan, Xu Huang, He Man, and Lu Bu in order.

After Xu An walked into the house, the noisy discussions that were still in the house disappeared completely.

The attention of all the generals of the Yellow Turban Army in the house was focused on Xu An.

"I believe that you have already learned why I mobilized so many troops this time, and let all the elite troops gather in Jingxing."

All the generals of the Yellow Turban Army in the house nodded in agreement.

Long before Xu An came, Yan Zhong had already revealed Xu An's plan, that the Yellow Turban Army in the four prefectures would be revived, as well as the Yan State in Youzhou and the Xiliang Army in Liangzhou would all be involved in this plan All of them were said.

All the generals were shocked. This crazy plan shocked them too much.

Xu An planned a grand plan to take back the Yellow Turban Army from the four states.

"Since this is the case, then issue the order now."

Xu An unfolded the folding fan in his hand and fanned himself a cool breeze. It is already July, and the sun in the north is indeed too harsh. hot.

This folding fan is exactly the shape of the semicircular folding fan of the later generations. It is a foldable fan made of bamboo and wood and silk as the fan surface, but it is quite different from the silk fan held by Yan Zhong.

After Xu An's voice fell behind, Xu You turned his head to look at Yan Zhong who was beside him, and seeing Yan Zhong nodded slightly, Xu You stood up.

Xu You saluted Xu An first, then Yan Zhong, and then took the long whip from the guard at the side.

"I think there should be no one among you who doesn't know me."

Xu You held a long whip and smiled.

Among the generals of the Yellow Turban Army in the house, none of them knew Xu You, and it was Xu You who offered a surprise attack on Juyongguan, allowing the Yellow Turban Army to control the two counties of Youzhou at the least cost.

Because of this incident, Xu You's reputation spread to almost the entire Yellow Turban Army in Bingzhou, and no one questioned Xu You's wisdom.

Moreover, Xu You can be regarded as the second counselor and military adviser appointed by Xu An besides Yan Zhong. Xu An's prestige among the Yellow Turban Army is very high. Facts have proved that the people Xu An values ​​are all dragons and phoenixes .

Whether it is Lu Bu, or Zhang Liao and Hao Zhao, they have achieved quite extraordinary achievements.

I don't mention Lu Bu, just talk about Zhang Liao and Hao Zhao. During Zhang Liao's battle between the two counties, the defenders of Macheng wanted to take the opportunity to attack the Yellow Turban Army stationed outside the city. As a result, the general who led the army to fight was directly beheaded by Zhang Liao. , and the rest were captured.

And Hao Zhao is only fifteen years old this year, but he has already become the deputy general guarding the first pass. He works in the southern pass of the military capital Xing. The guarding of the pass city and the use of ordnance are all arranged by him in an orderly manner. Even Yan Zhong is tsk tsk Amazing.

Xu You looked solemn, lowered his voice, and said solemnly: "I don't want to talk about gossip. This battle of receiving and guiding is of great importance. Please listen to me carefully."

"August [-], that is, ten days later, uprisings will break out in the four prefectures of Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou at the same time."

"At that time, the Xiliang Army will set off from Liangzhou on August [-] to attack Sili Xiaowei's department, Chen Cang."

"And the Yan Kingdom will send King Wuhuanqiao to lead [-] cavalry southward on August [-]th, passing through Bohai County in Jizhou, attacking Qinghe Kingdom, and Pingyuan County in Qingzhou."

Xu You pointed in the direction of Youzhou and Liangzhou with a long whip, and briefly explained the purpose of the allied forces of the two states.

"Now the deployment of our army has been roughly determined."

"Our army's current strength is still relatively weak, unable to confront the main force of the Han army, so containment by all parties is naturally essential."

"On August [-]th, Baibo Guotai led the army in Hedong County, and recruited [-] Bingzhou Yicongs to harass Hedong County and restrain the Han army in Hedong County from going to Jizhou through Zhiguanxing."

"On the same day, General Xuanwei led troops out of Taihang Xingtianjing Pass to harass Hanoi County and contain Dingyuan's troops in Hanoi County. They were not allowed to go north to support Jizhou."

"On August [-]th, the Wuhuan cavalry will march out of Duxing to harass the Guangyang County area in Youzhou, and restrain the Han army in Youzhou and the northern part of Jizhou from going south."

"At that time, what we need to face will only be soldiers from Changshan, Wei, Anping, and Qinghe, and the four counties. Now Jizhou has a lot of new recruits, and there are about [-] soldiers from the four counties. Thousands of people."

Xu You drew a big circle on the map of Jizhou with a long whip, and then clicked on Gaoyi.

"Most of the county soldiers in these four places are just scattered. The most important thing to pay attention to is actually Gaoyi."

"Lieutenant Jian Shuo of the Upper Military Academy, Captain Xia Mou of the Left Captain, and Chunyu Qiong of the Right Captain, there are a total of more than [-] forbidden soldiers stationed here. The Western Garden Forbidden Army has selected elite soldiers from all over the world. , Regardless of the horseback archers, they are the defenders of all armies, their strength should not be underestimated, and their actual combat effectiveness is definitely better than that of our army's soldiers."

When Xu You mentioned Jian Shuo's name, he couldn't help but pause for a moment, and a stern look flashed in his eyes. Although the knife wound on his chest had healed, sometimes he still felt a dull pain. , peeled ribs.

"I describe the Xiyuan Forbidden Army in a more simple way. It can be said that all members of this forbidden army are selected according to the standards of Han army elite soldiers, and their weapons are also the weapons and equipment of Han army elite soldiers."

The faces of the generals and school in the house were also slightly gloomy. Originally, they had a little bit of sneer at Xu You's saying that the West Garden Forbidden Army was stronger than their soldiers.

But when Xu You said that the Imperial Army of the West Garden was all selected by the standards of the elite soldiers of the Han army, his heart sank.

The military equipment and quality of the sharp soldiers of the Han army are almost equal to those of the yellow angels. They wear heavy armor, are impenetrable with swords, and are extremely good at fighting. If more than [-] people are like this, then this forbidden army will occupy a pivotal position. It is a great threat to the Yellow Turban Army.

"The main force of the Jizhou Army is now near Gaoyang in the Hejian Kingdom. It is led by Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Gao Lan. There are about [-] people. However, the enemy they have to face is the army of the Yan Kingdom. If there is no chance to fight, it can be ignored."

Xu You turned to look at Xu An.

In fact, according to Xu You's plan, he wanted Xu An to let the Wuhuan cavalry go south in a large scale to invade Guangyang and Zhuojun.

However, Xu An refused him on the grounds that the Wuhuan cavalry could not be restrained, fearing that they would loot wantonly.

In fact, Xu You also knew that Wuhuan's cavalry had poor military discipline, and the cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army had to be dispatched to stop possible looting by the Wuhuan Banner Army.

However, the cavalry under Liu Shi's command is indeed a little small. If the dispatch of troops this time is kept within a controllable range, then I am afraid that only more than [-] cavalry can be dispatched.

After all, most of Liu Shi's troops were bandits from the Taihang Mountains, and they were not good at riding horses. Zhang Baiqi's cavalry team had already been transferred to Jinyang by Xu An as a supplement to the Xiaoqi battalion.

From Xu You's point of view, this trip to Xu An is a bit of a woman's benevolence. To limit the number of Wuhuan cavalry and not plunder Youzhou, then Liu Yu will be able to survive, and the Wuhuan King of Yan Kingdom However, he had to face the pressure of more than [-] Jizhou elite soldiers from Hejian Kingdom and Gongsun Zan in western Liaoning.

According to Xu You's estimate, it would be difficult for King Wuhuanqiao to break through Bohai County, let alone attack Qinghe State and Yuanyuan County. I don't know where Xu An's confidence comes from, so he is so sure that King Wuhuanqiao will go all the way and be able to break through. Qinghe country.

But now that Xu An has made a decision, Xu You can only make a plan within the framework.

"And the main force of our army."

The long whip in Xu You's hand pointed at a city on the map, and he clicked heavily, with a sharp sound.

"We will start from Jingxing Pass, first take down Zhending!"
