The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 476 Intensifies
Zhuo County is the seat of Zhuo County.

Unlike the prosperity of the past, because of Zhang Ju and Zhang Ju's rebellion, there are not many pedestrians on the streets of Zhuo County today.

But those days are about to pass.

In the Zhuojun government office, all the generals of the Han army stood outside the house respectfully with solemn faces.

"I have reported to the envoy, Qiu Liju replied that he is willing to return to the great Han, but only asks that the envoy forgive their crimes. The envoy of the Wuhuan people is in the side hall of the government office, please make a ruling."

Under the steps, a messenger in military uniform reported respectfully.

Liu Yu sat at the top, looking a little tired. The defeat in the Battle of Jizhou and the large number of casualties made Liu Yu feel deeply guilty.

"Let him in."

In the house, Liu Yu's deep voice came.

"promise."

The messenger sang a promise, folded his hands and bowed his head, and stepped back.

After a while, a Wuhuan man wearing a fur coat and a shaved head walked into the courtyard.

"Envoy of Wuhuan, Xian Yushan knocked on the envoy's lord!"

As soon as the Wuhuan envoy saw Liu Yu, he knelt down on the ground without hesitation, and bowed deeply to Liu Yu.

In the courtyard, all the generals of the Han army stared angrily, and many generals even put their hands on the weapons at their waists.

Liu Yu forced himself to cheer up, raised his hand slightly and said, "Get up."

"The Wuhuan tribe committed a serious crime, Xian Yushan really didn't dare to stand up."

Xian Yushan didn't get up, but still knelt on the ground, and saluted Liu Yu again, the generals of the Han army in the courtyard looked slightly relaxed.

Liu Yu stood up, walked slowly from the house to the door, and stood in front of Xian Yushan.

"I heard that Qiu Liju is willing to return to the court, is this true?"

Xian Yushan clasped his hands together, and said with a painful expression: "Your Majesty, if we are not forced to, we will never defect to the court, but the officials in Youzhou are really too deceitful. We sent troops to follow Zhang Taiwei to attack the rebels in Liangzhou, most of the soldiers were killed or injured, not only did we not receive any compensation, even the military expenses that were originally promised."

"The white disaster in the grassland last year, countless cattle and horses from my tribe froze to death, and I wanted to ask to enter the customs for a while, but the officials in Youzhou took advantage of our hardship, exploited us, and robbed me of money, and still didn't let me go. When we entered the customs, we were really helpless, all the tribes were very angry, so we attached ourselves to Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun."

After Xian Yushan finished speaking, he bowed again to Liu Yu and kowtowed.

"I heard that the envoy is responsible for the pastor of Youzhou. We are willing to return to the imperial court and help the envoy to put down the rebellion in Youzhou. We only ask for forgiveness."

"Our department has withdrawn the siege of Guanzi City according to the envoy's request."

Liu Yu's expression softened slightly. Gongsun Zan had been besieged in Guanzi City for a long time.

The main force led by Gongsun Zan had already been defeated, and the other Youzhou army did not dare to fight the Wuhuan army at all, and since there were so many Wuhuan cavalry troops, there was no way for any supplies to bypass the Wuhuan cavalry and enter Guanzi City.

So Gongsun Zan had almost run out of ammunition and food, and now that Guanzi City was withdrawing from the siege, it was considered great news.

Zou Jing died, and a large number of experienced generals in Youzhou were arrested and imprisoned by the Embroidered Clothes Emissary. Liu Yu had almost no available generals. Although Gongsun Zan was quite arrogant, he was also a brave general who was good at fighting.

Liu Yu waved his hand and said, "I have already known the general situation through the embroidered clothes emissary. It is indeed as you said, you can send a message to Qiu Liju. As long as Wuhuan is willing to return to my big man, I can protect him." Not guilty."

When Liu Yu served as the governor of Youzhou before, Qiu Liju was one of the leaders of the Wuhuan tribe. Liu Yu was actually very clear about Qiu Liju's temperament.

Conquering Liangzhou, the imperial court did not behave properly.

The cavalry army was recruited from Wuhuan to attack the Xiliang army. As a result, not only was the pension not paid, but even the originally agreed military expenses were in arrears.

The subsequent governor of Youzhou was a hardliner, and the relationship between Wuhuan and Youzhou fell to a freezing point because of this. It was precisely because of this that the rebellion of Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju attracted the response of the Wuhuan tribe and shocked the world.

In fact, Liu Yu didn't want to pardon all the crimes. This time of turmoil, a large number of counties and counties in Youzhou were plundered, and countless villagers were killed and injured. These were all the sins committed by Wuhuan, Zhang Ju and others.

If it wasn't for the critical situation, Liu Yu would definitely have Qiu Liju hand over at least part of the villain for execution.

But now Liu Yu has no other choice.

The threat of the Yellow Turban Army is imminent, and the Luoyang court seems to be unstable. It seems that several court officials died in Luoyang City inexplicably.

The new army he managed to organize and train would lose more than half of it in the battle of Jizhou, if he didn't agree to Wuhuan's conditions.

Then I'm afraid that his Youzhou shepherd is only the Youzhou shepherd of Zhuojun and Guangyang counties, and he can't even control the last two counties of Youzhou.

Now in the two counties of Youzhou, there are only more than [-] soldiers in full battle, plus more than [-] rural braves who can only defend the city.

And Wuhuan, the three counties of Youzhou, has more than [-] soldiers to mobilize. Although Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun suffered heavy casualties in the battle of Western Liaoning, they also have about [-] to [-] soldiers.

And further north, the Yellow Turban Army who occupied the military capital of Xingjuyongguan, they have joined forces with the Shanggu Wuhuan tribe.

According to the news from the Embroidered Clothes Envoy, the Yellow Turban Army stationed more than [-] soldiers in Shanggu County and Dai County, and counting the soldiers that can be mobilized by the Shanggu Wuhuan Department, it is calculated according to the worst plan.

If the Yellow Turban Army wants to send troops, it can mobilize more than [-] soldiers.

That is to say, in the current situation, whether it is Zhang Ju or the Yellow Turban Army, he, Liu Yu, cannot compete.

He couldn't lose Youzhou, and the Han Empire couldn't lose Youzhou either.

The Han army in Jizhou was newly defeated, and it would take at least a year to regain its vitality. Today's Jizhou can be described as the weakest time.

In other words, if Liu Yu loses Youzhou, the entire Jizhou will also be corrupted by the war.

In fact, the huge Jizhou has no defense against the enemy.

……

Outside Ji County, the prefecture of Hanyang County in Liangzhou.

The barracks of the Xiliang Army was dead silent, there was no sound of people, no sound of horses, as if it was an unmanned barracks.

Wang Guo, Han Sui, and Ma Teng jointly dispatched troops, and were defeated by the Han army led by Huang Fusong at Chencang.

Huangfusong took advantage of the victory to pursue and beheaded more than [-] Xiliang soldiers, and he is still stationed in Youfufeng until now.

Everyone in Liangzhou changed color upon hearing Huangfusong, they didn't even dare to call Huangfusong by his name directly.

Some people even proposed to abandon Hanyang County and evacuate westward. This proposal even won the support of many people.

The morale of the Xiliang army is now at its lowest point.

The generals have no fighting spirit, and the soldiers have no fighting spirit. The current Xiliang army is no longer as domineering and arrogant as when they just defeated the Liangzhou Han army and killed Geng Bi.

Hurried like a bereaved dog, hurried like a fish slipping through the net, destruction seems to be only in the blink of an eye.

In the dark night, Han Sui's eyes were frighteningly bright.

The starlight was dim, and the road ahead was dark. Han Sui slowly pulled out the ring knife at his waist, and pressed forward slightly.

The low sound of the horn suddenly sounded, under the night, countless torches were suddenly lit, and the sound of horseshoes sounded like a tide, and thousands of cavalry followed Han Sui and rushed forward.
