The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 466 Division of Defense Zones
The faces of the other people in the house were fine, but the faces of Gong Du and He Man instantly turned bitter.

Among the generals in the room, only two of them are illiterate!

The word knew them, but they did not recognize the word.

Gong Du put on a bitter face, and said hesitantly: "Ming Gong, I don't want to go to that lecture hall... I have always been a good vanguard, and I know how to fight cavalry..."

"Stop."

Xu An raised his hand, stopped Gong Du's words directly, looked at the embarrassed Gong Du, and couldn't help feeling amused.

In the house, most of the generals of the Yellow Turban Army were people who were not used to covering up. Now, looking at the embarrassed Gong Du, no one cares about the etiquette, they all laughed out loud.

Gong Du has a carefree temper, is used to going straight, and can basically get along with anyone. The generals present can be regarded as Gong Du's friends, and there is no need to shy away from anything.

Even Yan Zhong, Xu You and Pang Bo, who wanted to be more reserved, couldn't help laughing, and laughed along with everyone.

Xu An pointed at Gong Du and cursed with a smile.

"Gong Du, Gong Du, after so many years, you are still the same, you really haven't changed at all."

"I sent seven or eight talismans to teach you how to read, and you drove them all back. This time, you don't want to run away again. You are the first one on the list of the first session of the Martial Arts Hall."

Xu An said helplessly: "Liu Pidu is already the commander of the Eagle Wolf Guard. You are still standing still. It is okay to command the troops of one department, but you are in a hurry when you command the troops of the two departments. You must go to Wutang."

Yan Zhong also said with a smile: "The study in the martial arts hall is actually not difficult, it's just some art of war. General Gong has no fear in killing the enemy on the battlefield. Is it possible that he is afraid of a few broken books?"

Gong Du only felt a headache for a while, and he really would rather go to the battlefield than let him read and write.

It is easy to kill the enemy and lead the army on the battlefield, but when it comes to reading and writing, he feels his head grows big when he sees a book, his eyes are straight, and he doesn't even want to look at it.

He Man on the side was also a little restless, as if he was on pins and needles.

"He Man, hold back your words."

As soon as Xu An saw He Man's expression, he knew that he, like Gong Du, wanted to evade, so before Gong Du wanted to speak, he said directly.

"You, Gong Du, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao, the four of you, none of you can escape, don't think about those messy things, get lost and go to the lecture hall to study hard."

With a bitter expression on his face, He Man lamented, "This... I haven't said anything yet, and I'm not going to say no..."

"Hey, if both Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao go, I won't be afraid, hahaha."

When He Man sighed, Gong Du's brows were beaming with joy, and his color changed instantly.

Now it is a foregone conclusion that he will go to the lecture hall to read and write, there is no way to change it, it would be nice to have a few more good brothers who will back up together.

Share the blessings and share the troubles, this is a good brother.

"Don't be in a hurry to be happy."

Xu An looked at the gloating Gong Du and sneered.

"By the way, Liu Pi will also serve as the first supervisor of the lecture hall, and the students with the worst academic performance will be punished. Students who violate discipline such as absenteeism will naturally be punished."

Gong Du's smile froze on his face, he turned his head mechanically, looked at Xu An, and then showed an expression uglier than crying.

"This...isn't necessary..."

Although that old boy Liu Pi has been friends with him for many years, he doesn't want to be restrained by Liu Pi.

It is precisely because he is a good friend for many years that Liu Pi will definitely show no mercy to him, and there will really be no good day by then.

He had to inspect both his studies and his daily life, and Gong felt that his head was as big as a bucket.

Everyone looked at He Man and Gong Du, and laughed again.

"After much deliberation, only Liu Pi can cure you."

Xu An avoided Gong Du's sight and said helplessly.

"Now all the generals and schools are basically literate, and the literacy classes held in the trilogy are also quite effective. More and more people are literate. The four of you have dragged on until now you can't even read. This time, I must give you four Personal problems solved."

"As a general or a school lieutenant, I can't even understand the secret report with military information, and I need a civil servant or personal guard to translate it. This is a big taboo."

Xu An shook his head, illiterate and ignorant of military strategy, Gong Du can only be a cavalry general forever, He Man can only be a charge general forever, and will never be able to become the leader of an army.

Gong Du and Liu Pi entered Taihang Mountain together with him.

Liu Pi was born as a Yellow Angel, he cared about the status of Xu An and Xu An.

Everyone called Xu An a great virtuous teacher and Duke Ming, but Liu Pi was the only one who always called Xu An the lord since he became a great virtuous teacher.

But Gong didn't stick to details, and his relationship with Xu An was different from that of Liu Pi, but more like a brother.

Back then, it wasn't He Man who fought to the death, and I'm afraid Xu An would not have had him today.

So Xu An has been intentionally improving the status of Gong Du and He Man, and wants to give Gong Du and He Man more power, but due to the limitations of the two, there has been no good way.

At present, factions in Taiping Dao have begun to take shape.

The Yellow Turban faction, Bingzhou faction, Sizhou faction, Jizhou faction, and factional disputes have also begun to show some signs.

Although Xu An's current status is unshakable, and the disputes among the four factions are not fierce, he still needs to plan ahead.

Party strife, factional strife, and benign competition are fine, but once it becomes vicious, it is by no means a good thing. The Yellow Turban Army will fall into internal friction and will be unable to expand at all.

The factions are fighting each other, in order to fight for power and profit, eliminate dissidents, and even do everything they can.

Internal strife will rapidly deplete strength, and many things that have happened in history have proved this point.

With the Eagle Wolf Guard in hand, Xu An can temporarily control the Sifang faction, and the current Sifang faction has not grown.

Xu An wanted to promote Gong Du, He Man, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao and other old Yellow Turban Army generals, because he knew very well that these people would always be the most staunch supporters.

As long as he has been a great virtuous teacher of Taiping Dao, he has always been a general of the Yellow Turban Army.

"That's how things settled."

Xu An knocked on the desk with his folding fan, stopping the slightly noisy generals.

"I personally serve as the sacrificial wine for the 'Taipingdao Army Academy' and the 'Jianwu Hall'."

"'Taipingdao Army Academy' has six principal and deputy department heads, twenty-four daily lecturers, four supervisors, and a total of [-] students for the first phase, forty military candidates, and two hundred village chiefs. , The team led by [-] people, the military marquis, the village chief, and the team leader all took the lead in cultivating official positions, and the official officers of each team in each village and village entered the school, and their positions were temporarily held by adjutants."

"'Jiangwutang' is the deputy supervisor, Yan Gong, and Liu Pi as the supervisor. There are seven departments, including military formation, marching, training, leading, logistics, tactics, and military strategy. There is one test every month and one every six months. Examination, once a year, the assessment of the Army Academy is the same as that of the lecture hall."

"Respectfully obey Minggong Jun's order."

In the house, all the generals respectfully bowed down.

No one objected to Xu An's self-promotion as a sacrificial wine, and his prestige among the Yellow Turban Army had reached an extremely high level.

Jijiu is the head of the hospital, and Xu An has no intention of handing over such an important position to others.

Even though he trusted Yan Zhong very much, he didn't intend to be the shopkeeper.

Heaven and Earth Monarch, Parent and Teacher, the teacher's status at this time is very lofty.

As recorded in "Xunzi·Lilun":

Heaven and earth are the basis of life; ancestors are the basis of kind; rulers and teachers are the basis of governance.

If there is no evil birth in heaven and earth, no evil ancestors, no evil rulers and teachers, and the three perish, there will be no peace.

Therefore, the rituals, serving the heavens above, serving the earth below, respecting the ancestors and honoring the emperor and teachers are the three roots of rituals.

At the peak of the imperial examinations in later generations, after being admitted in the imperial examinations, scholars called the invigilators masters and called themselves students.

Examiners and candidates colluded with each other in the name of the teacher-student relationship, and formed gangs for personal gain.

With the affairs of the military academy settled, Xu An also felt a little relieved.

Xu Huang, Lu Bu, Zhang Yan and others followed in his footsteps without any haste and ease, but Gong Du, Pei Yuanshao and others fell further and further behind. Now that there is the Martial Arts Hall and the Army Academy, it can finally make up some of the gap.

Xu An rubbed his temples and settled down.

Although he was young, had Hua Tuo's prescription, and learned Wu Qin Xi, Xu An still felt a little tired from galloping all the way, non-stop.

Xu An regained his composure, and continued to speak: "Eight Xings of Taihang have seven Xings in the hands of our army. There are frequent internal turmoil in the Han court. Our army occupies Bingzhou, Hedong and Youzhou counties. Although the Han court occupies Youzhou, Jizhou and Sili are encircling our army, but because of internal friction and losses, our army has nothing to do for the time being."

"Our army occupies the pass and has the advantage of geographical advantages. The Han army was defeated in the battle of Jizhou, and they dare not act rashly. Millions of people from the four states will enter Bingzhou. Next will be a rare opportunity for development."

"Now our army occupies thirteen counties, and there are more than [-] armored men. It is adjacent to Youzhou, Jizhou, Sili, Liangzhou, and Xianbei. There are also many places that need to be guarded, so I plan to redefine the defense zone."

While Xu An was speaking, the Tiqi of the two Eagle Wolf Guards had already unfolded a huge map.

The Kanyu map fell from the wall behind Xu An. This is a huge map of Jizhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, Liangzhou, Sili, and five states.

The thirteen counties of Bingzhou occupied by the Yellow Turban Army were painted with light yellow drills, while the You, Ji, Sili and other places occupied by the Han Army were painted with light red paint.

The place occupied by the Xiliang Army in Liangzhou was painted black, and the last touch of purple was in the middle of Youzhou, which was the symbol of Zhang Ju's establishment of the Yan Kingdom.

Although Qiu Liju recovered a certain amount of decline, the current Gongsun Zan was besieged in Guanzi City, but because of Gongsun Zan's onslaught and Liu Yu's expansion, the current Zhang Ju could only shrink in the middle of Youzhou.

Liu Yu, the nomadic tribe who had promised to help, was no longer the general of Pingbei Zhonglang. He was not punished for his defeat in the Battle of Jizhou. On the contrary, he officially took the post of Shepherd of Youzhou.

After hearing Liu Yu's re-assignment, the Xianbei and other tribes that Beidi had promised to assist Zhang Ju did not mention the matter of assistance again. From the report of the Eagle Wolf Guard, it seemed that the Wuhuan tribe was also undergoing some strange changes.

All kinds of signs have indicated that Zhang Ju may not last long.

"In the past few years, our army should not go to war, mainly focusing on defense."

Xu An stood up, raised his command whip, and pointed at the Taihang Mountain area.

"The first defense area is the Taihang Mountain defense area, from Jingxing Pass in Jingxing to Tianjing Pass in Taihang Xing."

"The Taihang army has about [-] soldiers. At present, some farms have been set up in the mountains, as well as livestock breeding and hunting. The logistics of our army has also been eased. Although there are [-] people, it is not It will cost our army too much food and grass."

"This area of ​​defense has been commanded by Poison before, with Huang Long as his deputy. You should all know that. Over the years, the Han army has never once intruded into the Taihang Mountains, and in the midst of many troop raids and containment missions, Yu Du and Huanglong and the others have completed the task perfectly, so the Taihang defense area will remain unchanged as usual."

Yu Du's performance was obvious to all, and the generals naturally had no objection to Xu An's decision.

"The second defense area is the Hedong defense area. It is the area occupied by our army north of Fenshui in Hedong County. The original number of soldiers was [-]. The chief will be Guo Tai, and the deputy will be Han Xian, Li Le, and Hu Cai."

"In the south of Hedong County, the prefect Wang Yi has about [-] troops under his command. Yu Fuluo, the son of the Xiongnu Qiangqu Shanyu, has [-] Hu cavalry. He is also in Hedong County. Infantry, rarely cavalry, hard to stop."

Yu Fuluo originally had only more than [-] cavalry under his command. After the confrontation with the Yellow Turban Army, nearly a thousand cavalry were killed and wounded, and he chose to retreat.

But later Xu An defeated the Southern Huns, and some of the Southern Huns were unwilling to surrender. The Huns who heard the news of the defeat of the main force of the Southern Huns chose to go south. The Han army controlled the southern part of Bingzhou Shangjun. two thousand people.

"There are so many Xiongnu cavalry, and Hedong County can't bear the disturbance, so I plan to move the Xiaoqi battalion south."

Xu An looked at Lu Bu.

"Follow first."

Lu Bu stood up and bowed, and replied respectfully: "The last general is here."

Received the title of General Xiaoqi, promoted to Chief Officer of the Xiaoqi Battalion, and was rewarded many times, the Yellow Turban Army won every victory. Now Lu Bu has no regrets about the choice he made at the beginning.

"Although the Xiaoqi Battalion is elite, there are many Hun cavalry. Yu Fuluo is the son of the former Chanyu. The Hu cavalry under his command are different from the stragglers under Xu Bu's command who were exhausted in internal fighting. They are all elite. After such a long time, I am afraid that I have acquired a lot of military equipment, and my strength is no small matter."

"Fengxian's bravery is well known to everyone, but although Fengxian is brave enough to win the three armies, Hedong County still focuses on defense. Huns can attack and defend against Hun cavalry, but they must cooperate with infantry to prevent excessive loss."

Lu Bu bowed his head and saluted, his face couldn't help showing a tinge of joy, and he replied in a loud voice, "I would like to obey the orders of Duke Ming."

How could the four words "bravely crown the three armies" from Xu An's mouth not make Lu Bu secretly happy.

And now that the Yellow Turban Army is in a comprehensive defense, the rest of the places are dangerous to defend, only Hedong County, and only one Fen River is not a natural danger.

Now that Xu An has arranged him here, it is undoubtedly a recognition of his leadership. He can also take this opportunity to gain more military merits. Although it is defensive military merits, it is better than nothing.

As for Hu Qi under Yu Fuluo's command, Lu Bu didn't take it seriously.

Occupying a favorable location, and with the assistance of the pawns led by Guo Tai, he brought the Xiaoqi Battalion and could not repel Yu Fuluo's Huqi, so he could just find a piece of tofu to crash him to death.

Hedong County is rich in fertile fields and rich in products. Although the Yellow Turban Army only occupies half of the county, in fact, the land and output cultivated are much more than those of several counties in Bingzhou. Even Shangdang County has been left far behind. in the back.
