The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 418 Decision
The world should be the world of the people, the court should be the court of the people, and the country should be the country of the people.

Yan Liang, Wen Chou and the cavalry of the Han army behind them all looked at Xu You, and even Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and the others all looked at Xu You.

"May I ask Mr. Xu, who said these words from?"

Yan Liang was slightly taken aback, and after pondering for a moment, asked tentatively.

Xu You knew Yan Liang and Wen Chou quite well, and Yan Liang and Wen Chou naturally knew Xu You also, after all Xu You used to be their superior.

They don't have a good family background, and they don't have senior officials who value them. If they don't make good friends with their immediate superiors, no matter how capable they are, they will definitely not have a good life.

Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and others all knew that Xu You was definitely not someone who could say such things.

"You guessed right, I didn't say these words, I just repeated what he said."

Xu You smiled slightly and said with a smile.

"These words are from the great virtuous and virtuous teacher of my Taiping Dao—Xu An!"

really……

Yan Liang, Wen Chou and the others all changed their expressions slightly. Although many of them had guessed it, they couldn't help but get Xu You's confirmation.

It is true that only the great virtuous teacher of the Taiping Dao, Xu An, dared to say, would say, and could say these deviant and rebellious words.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou discovered some clues after the Battle of Shijian Mountain, so they also began to look up some information about the Yellow Turban Army and Xu An by virtue of their authority.

Later, when they reported their duties in the government office of Gaoyi, Jizhou, the two of them read the dossier that recorded Xu An at that time. its correctness.

Although he made mistakes in some small matters, as long as it was involved in major matters, Xu An almost never made a mistake.

Xu An is different from the general Yellow Turban army commander Qu Shuai, and the Yellow Turban army under Xu An's command is also very different from the general Yellow Turban army. Including the tribe directly under Zhang Jiao, they have all carried out looting.

Hundreds of thousands of troops, although Zhang Jiao has been plotting for many years, the millions of Yellow Turbans finally made Zhang Jiao feel overwhelmed and difficult to restrain.

The Yellow Turban Army directly under Zhang Jiao, Zhang Liang, and Zhang Bao, as well as some Yellow Turban Army led by Zhang Jiao's disciples, can still maintain a certain degree of discipline, but more of them are bandits under the banner of the Yellow Turban Army, that is, The yellow turban bandits burn, kill, loot, and commit all sorts of crimes.

When Xu An's millions of yellow scarves were destroyed and all the Taiping Roads in the eight states disappeared, after entering Taihang and then unifying Taihang, he chose to send troops to plunder when he was short of money and food, but the discipline he displayed was extremely terrifying.

It is clearly recorded in the file that the Taihang Yellow Turban Army set out from the Taihang Mountains and plundered Bingzhou, Jizhou, and Sili.

According to common sense, with such a large-scale plundering, burning, killing and looting will inevitably occur. The original bandits in Taihang Mountain went out to plunder, and even some settlements were slaughtered.

That time the Taihang Yellow Turban Army went out, according to statistics, many civilians were indeed killed, but the Yellow Turban Army left a total of more than [-] heads in the breached city.

And the heads of those more than [-] people all belonged to those soldiers who committed crimes and committed the crime of harassing the people.

The Yellow Turban Army gathered the people in the city, wrote their crimes on the wall with pens, and announced their sentences.

However, in the rural settlements, these places are generally turned into ruins when encountering bandits, the Yellow Turban Army's tribes avoided the fields during the march, and if any crops were trampled, the officers were responsible, and compensation, etc. price of money.

Although Hanting's propaganda about the Yellow Turban Army in other places is extremely terrifying, and they are all processed after being demonized, but in the dossier, they still record the actions of Xu An and the Taihang Yellow Turban Army in great detail. .

After all, although the strategy of fooling the people is useful, if even the upper-level officials are fooled, then it is really stupid.

Knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to survive a hundred battles.

The significance of the dossier is to enable the upper-level officials to understand Xu An and the situation of the Yellow Turban Army, so as to understand its threat and strength, so that they can easily deal with it.

As military commanders, Yan Liang and Wen Chou were originally not qualified to look through the files, but at that time, under Wang Fen's intentional coaxing, the two of them were able to look up the relevant files and learn some secrets.

What they originally learned was that Xu An's soldiers went out of the Taihang Mountains, plundered counties and counties, killed more than ten thousand people, even broke through cities, looted wantonly, and killed villagers like animals, so people everywhere panicked Not all day long.

Xu You obviously saw the change in the expressions of Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and knew that Yan Liang and Wen Chou had already had some other thoughts, so he took advantage of the situation and continued.

"Don't talk about resignation, even if this battle is not defeated, even if Yan Sima and Wen Sima are exempt from punishment and continue to be military commanders, but the two really think that one day they can become captains and generals, but The honor of being a marquis honors the clan?"

Yan Liang and Wen Chou's expressions froze. For them, the captain is almost impossible, and their background has already determined their upper limit.

As for the position of general and the honor of being a marquis, they couldn't even think about it. How many people who have worshiped generals and marquises all the time started from humble beginnings and came from ordinary backgrounds?
Which one is not powerful, which one is not a noble family, which one is not an aristocratic family?

It is ridiculous to really think that with one's own ability, one can worship a general and become a marquis, and one can ascend to a high position.

"Among the Embroidered Clothes Envoys, they have collected a lot of information about the generals and schools of the Bingzhou Yellow Turban Army. You two must have read it, right?"

Xu You raised his folding fan and pointed at Lu Bu, and said to Yan Liang.

"The person next to me is Lv Bulu Fengxian, who used to be a military marquis in the county, but now he is the general of Xiaoqi, who is worshiped by a great virtuous teacher in my Taiping Road, and leads the [-] Xiaoqi battalion."

"With the bravery of Yan Sima and Wen Sima, if they are willing to join my Taiping Dao, they will be highly valued by great virtuous teachers. Great virtuous and good teachers have always been rewarded and punished clearly, and those who have meritorious service will be rewarded. If you two are willing to join my Taiping Dao, worship the general It is not difficult to seal the marquis and honor the clan."

A gleam of light flashed from Yan Liang's eyes, and he tilted his head slightly, trying to check Wen Chou's face.

The attraction of worshiping generals and marquises to a warrior is indeed incomparable. Xu An's reputation is earned by one shot at a time.

The three states of Liangzhou, Youzhou, and Bingzhou seem to have formed an alliance again. The military chaos in the south continues, and millions of yellow scarves in the four states are revived. The once frightening and powerful Han Empire is now weak, like A bloated giant.

For the rebellions and mutations in various places, each time the handling is slower and more difficult than the last time, gradually becoming powerless.

seem……

It seems that the deadline is approaching...

General Han Zuo did not seem to be alarmist in the end.

However, compared with the weakening Han Empire, the Bingzhou Yellow Turban Army under the leadership of Xu An is full of vigor. If it is described as a human being, then the Yellow Turban Army is a young man who is thriving. Young people with endless vitality.

Although the Yellow Turban Army is still not capable of defeating him completely compared to a behemoth like the Han Empire, no one can say for sure what will happen in the future.

It's just that if it continues like this, maybe the Yellow Turban Army and the Taiping Dao will have the power to defeat the Han Empire in the future, and even have the power to overturn the world.

If the Yellow Turban Army can really defeat the Han Empire, can really enter the Central Plains, and rule the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, then they join the Yellow Turban Army now. As long as they wait until that day, they will be the founding heroes of the future, enjoy the merits of the dragon, and leave their names in history. Praise through the ages.

Yan Liang's breathing became a little disordered, he was struggling, he was thinking.

If it was the Xiliang Army, or the ridiculously false Yan Kingdom established by Zhang Ju, Yan Liang wouldn't care at all, but it was the Yellow Turban Army who threw the olive branch, and it was the Taipingdao.

The weight of the name Xu An is now far more important than Zhang Ju, Wang Guo, and Han Sui.

The leader of the Yellow Turban Army, the great virtuous teacher of Taiping Dao, the incarnation of Huang Tian...

A series of titles and honors were added in front of Xu An's name. Zhu Jun and Lu Zhi were defeated by him successively. The Kuicheng formation beheaded Zhu Jun, Bachishan repelled Lu Zhi, broke the Shangdang, merged the prefecture, and attacked the two counties. Both are vigorous and resolute.

This time, the resurgence of the yellow turbans caused even more waves. The resurgence of millions of yellow turbans in the four states broke through many obstacles and crossed the Yellow River all the way to Jizhou.

A few years later, the Yellow Turban Army showed its sharp fangs again, tearing off a piece of flesh and blood under the bloated and huge body of the Han Empire, and proved its strength to the world.

Wen Chou noticed Yan Liang's subtle movements. They have been brothers with different surnames for more than ten years, and they know each other very well.

Wen Chou's heart skipped a beat, he knew that Yan Liang was a little moved now.

And Wen Chou was actually a little moved. Like Yan Liang, he knew the current situation of the Yellow Turban Army, but the difference between him and Yan Liang was that he maintained more awe of the Han Empire.

The strength of the Forbidden Army in the West Garden, the horror of the Han Empire, and the pervasiveness of the embroidered messengers all made Wen Chou feel a little intimidated.

Compared to Yan Liang, Wen Chou wants to be more on the safe side.

Joining the Yellow Turban Army is almost cutting off the way back, and it can only be ruined. All the way to the dark, and there is no turning back.

The crime of treason is unforgivable, and he still joined the Yellow Turban Army and the Taiping Dao. For the Yellow Turban Army, from the first year of Zhongping to the present, there is no forgiveness in the dictionary of the Han Army.

In history, Zhang Yan chose to compromise, and Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty also appointed him as the General of the Ping Nan Zhong Lang.

But now Xu An did not compromise, and did not choose to accept the recruitment, but chose to continue to carry the battle flag of the Yellow Turban Army, standing firmly on the opposite side of the Han Empire.

The infiltration of the Eagle Wolf Guard also prompted the Han Empire to spawn monsters like the Embroidered Cloth Messenger, who hunted and killed the followers of the Taiping Dao everywhere.

Because of Xu An, the conflict between the Han Empire and Taiping Dao became more serious and sharper.

Although the current Yellow Turban Army has potential, it is still inferior to the Han Dynasty. No matter how weak the Han Empire is, a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse, and no matter how fat a giant is, the damage it can cause when he is angry is extremely great. Horror, the sleeping lion will eventually wake up.

If the Yellow Turban Army fails, then they will undoubtedly end up with an exterminated fate and be engraved on the pillar of shame in history.

Ordinary people and small people may be forgiven, but the middle and high levels of the Yellow Turban Army must have absolutely no way to escape punishment.

Xu You could see the expressions of Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and Xu You knew that this was the time to take advantage of the victory and pursue the final decision.

Xu You gently raised the folding fan with his right hand and shook it upwards.

Dozens of horsemen galloped slowly behind them. When Yan Liang and Wen Chou were thinking about it, they suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes, and they all followed the prestige, and then their faces became obviously serious.

Those dozens of riders were none other than elders they knew from their families, some nephews, and even the wives of Yan Liang and Wen Chou were among them.

"Tangyang and Nangong are both under the control of my Taipingdao. Anyway, I used to be the Shangguan of Yan Sima and Wen Sima, so I naturally know something about the situation in your two families."

The reactions of Yan Liang and Wen Chou were already in Xu You's expectation, Xu You said with a smile without changing his face.

"The soldiers are dangerous and the war is fierce. If there are any bandits who take the opportunity to make trouble when our army invades Anping State and hurt the family members of Yan Sima and Wen Sima, it is not beautiful. So as early as when our army just crossed the river , I will send cavalry to protect the families of Yan Sima and Wen Sima."

"Besides, I have already told the elders in the two families of the power of it, and you don't need to worry about your decision being opposed by the family members."

Yan Liang couldn't help but tighten the eyebrow knife in his hand a little more, and a surge of anger couldn't help rising in his heart. If they had two choices before, one was the loyalty and death festival, and the other was to serve the Yellow Turban, then they now Obviously, the first option is gone, only the second option is left.

Loyalty and filial piety are difficult to have both. If you choose to die with loyalty and righteousness, you will undoubtedly have to bring the whole family to be buried together.

Xu You's move forced them to join the Yellow Turban Army.

Wen Chou also felt a surge of anger in his heart, and one familiar person after another was looking at him with terrified and pleading eyes.

Yan Liang turned his head and looked at the cavalry of the Han army who followed behind him. The longing for life flickered in their eyes, but they also did not lack the courage to die.
