The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 557
In the first year of Chuping (190), October [-]th.

There are still three days before Yan Zhong leads the attack from Shuofang County.

All the southern tribes of Xianbei sent envoys to submit letters of surrender, and according to Xu An's request, the leaders and nobles of each tribe sent their families to the location of the royal court.

Those who were close to the big city in Shuofang County sent their family members to the big city, all of which were monitored by the Eagle Wolf Guard.

One or two small tribes thought they were clever and hid some people among their own tribes, which were exposed by the spies of Eagle Wolf Guards.

Xu An was not merciful either, and directly asked Lu Bu to lead the Xiaoqi Battalion to exterminate those tribes who were obedient and vicious, and the rest of the tribes also lost their small thoughts. For the first time, the reputation of the Eagle Wolf Guard spread on the grassland. .

Lu Bu, Xu Huang, and Zhang Liao swept the three sides and successfully defeated the medium and large tribes of the western Xianbei on three sides.

The royal court of Xianbei in the west could not stop the advance of the Yellow Turban Army. How could the ordinary tribes who had lost their leaders resist the Yellow Turban Army's strength.

The following things were extremely simple. Lu Bu, Xu Huang, and Zhang Liao separated part of the army and gathered slaves from those tribes to form an army.

Then the new army composed of these slaves escorted the cattle and sheep captives of those tribes towards the royal court, and they led the main force back to the Western Xianbei royal court one step ahead.

The royal court of Xianbei in the west is still full of people.

It's just that this kind of excitement is completely different from the hustle and bustle of previous years.

In the royal court, a large number of cattle and sheep were killed, countless butcher knives fell, countless cattle and sheep were disemboweled, cut into strips of meat, and a large number of cattle and sheep were slaughtered as military rations.

The air was always filled with a strong smell of blood, which lingered for a long time and was extremely unpleasant.

Even the howling wind and snow only slightly alleviated the stench of blood.

Xu An previously took advantage of the Kwantung Allied Forces' crusade against Dong Zhuo, and when Dong Zhuo was distracted and at a loss for skills, he cooperated with Yu Fuluo and planned to capture the whole of Hedong County.

Obtaining Hedong County also has the control of Yanchi, and Xu An has improved the original traditional salt extraction method.

After nearly a year of development, the Yellow Turban Army now has a large amount of salt, which can fully meet the salt demand of Taiping Road, and there are still a lot of reserves.

The weather in the north is extremely cold. After being marinated and dried for several days, the beef and mutton can be preserved for a long time.

Moreover, the Yellow Turban Army has one man and three horses, so they can naturally carry more things.

In addition, the Xianbei tribe who chose to surrender along the way could provide a certain amount of food, and the march became easier.

On October [-], the fourth cavalry battalion was ready.

Following Xu An's order, more than [-] cavalrymen of the Yellow Turban Army, leading more than [-] cavalry troops of the Xianbei Army who were the forerunners of the Yellow Turban Army, slowly left the seat of the Xianbei Royal Court in the west.

The cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army braved the wind and snow, stepped into the snow-covered grassland without fear, and walked slowly towards the south.

Captain Yan Rou of Shanggu led more than [-] horsemen to stay in the royal court, and together with him, there were more than [-] slaves composed of slaves, guarding the royal court together.

The white disaster is coming soon, they have lived on the grassland for a long time, how could they not know what the white disaster means.

They were extremely honest in the face of the Yellow Turban Army, and they never thought of resisting at all.

On November [-], Xu An had already led the army to the south for more than two hundred miles.

And Yan Zhong also marched south according to the original plan the day before, following the course of the Yellow River, passing through the area controlled by Xianbei in the west, and galloping towards Beidi County.

At this time, all the southern Xianbei tribes in the west had submitted forms of surrender, and the few who refused to accept it had already been defeated by the Yellow Turban Army.

The farther you go south, the warmer the climate becomes, but the so-called warmth is only relative to the north. The north wind in Liangzhou and Bingzhou is actually still biting and unbearable.

The wind and snow still haven't stopped, and the weather this year is colder than last year.

The army of the Yellow Turban Army stopped in the snow and changed their horses.

Xu An led more than a dozen cavalry pawns of Tengxiang Guards to observe the surrounding terrain not far from the army. After a period of observation, Xu An also confirmed one thing.

It's time for them to go their separate ways now, and it's time to separate the forces here again.

Liu Pi galloped from the direction of the Chinese army on a horse, and caught up with Xu An's banner.

"A message from Wuwei County."

Xu An took the secret letter from Yingwei from Liu Pi.

"Order Xu Huang to take the Wuxiang camp to the west, to Wuwei County, all the way west, to Wuwei and Xuanwei, Wuwei Jia has already arranged everything."

A smile appeared on Xu An's face, and he tightly held the secret letter in his hand. Liu Pi was overjoyed, knowing that the Jia family of Wuwei County had made his choice.

This time, when rushing thousands of miles to attack the Xianbei camp in the west, Xu Ante took the envoy sent by the Jia family to communicate. After the battle of Wang Ting was won, Xu An gave these good horses and asked them to go to Wuwei to report the news.

Although the Western Xianbei rebelled against the Xianbei headquarters, it was also the largest force north of Liangzhou.

Even Han Sui didn't want to make a strong enemy at this time. After all, although most of the western Xianbei's trilogy is in the north, if they want to gather in the south, they can also gather nearly [-] people who control strings.

Xianbei people are good at fighting, and Xianbei people were synonymous with fear when Old Wang Tanshi was ashamed.

The Qiang tribes in Liangzhou and the Han army in Liangzhou have been suppressed by them all the time. The Xianbei in the west have invaded the border many times, and Liangzhou has nothing to do with it.

In the sixth year of Xiping (AD 177), Monan was defeated, which defeated the spirit of the Han army.

Zang Min, Xia Yu, Tian Yan and other generals were dismissed from office and nobility and exempted from being common people.

In the first year of Zhongping (184 A.D.), Qianghu, Bianzhang, Han Sui and other bandits in the north rebelled in Longyou. The imperial court reactivated Xia Yu and appointed him as the captain of the Qiang guard.

But the battle was still not going well, Xia Yu was besieged by the Qiang rebels in the livestock officer, and Hanyang chief Shi Gaixun led his army to rescue and failed.

The spirit of the Han army was also exhausted by successive defeats.

The Wuwei Jia family has also made their choice. The Yellow Turban Army defeated the western Xianbei in the first battle, which has proved that the Yellow Turban Army has enough power to influence Liangzhou.

The situation in the world is changing, the two emperors of the East and the West stand side by side, and the heroes are fighting for hegemony.

Although the Jia family in Wuwei is located in a bitterly cold border area, they are not blind-eyed and completely ignorant of the situation in the Central Plains.

Wuwei Jia family has their own sources of information, and their understanding of the situation in the Central Plains is even clearer than Han Sui and Ma Teng.

They also knew clearly that Han Sui and Ma Teng were now in an internal struggle, evenly matched, and no one could do anything to the other.

The battle between the two is bound to be protracted without accident, and it may take several years before the winner is determined.

But after a few years, it will be too late, and the situation in the Central Plains will gradually become clear. No matter who wins, Han Sui and Ma Teng will lose the qualification to compete in the world, and there will be no chance to fish in troubled waters.

In the Central Plains, Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao formed an alliance to fight against Sun Jian.

This time, the Xiliang cavalry under Dong Zhuo did not lose face again. They relied on Luoyang City to block Sun Jian's offensive.

Dong Zhuo, who had taken control of Yique Pass, sent troops from Yique Pass to raid the south, so that Sun Jian had to allocate part of his troops to fight against Dong Zhuo's elite.

The Eight Passes of Luoyang, Yique Pass, Taigu Pass, and Hangu Pass were owned by Dong Zhuo. Yuan Shao controlled the three passes of Xuanmen, Mengjin, and Xiaopingjin leading to the east and north. Sun Jian only controlled Guangcheng and Zhuo. There are two checkpoints in the south.

Yuan Shao also sent Zhou Ang, the governor of Yuzhou, to continue to harass Yuzhou from the north when Dong Zhuo sent troops.

Living in Yangcheng, Sun Jian not only had to confront the main force of Dong Zhuo's army stationed in Luoyang, but also suffered from harassment from both sides at the same time. , and Yan Baihu in the south and other thieves and bandits.

Now the battle in the Central Plains is gradually heating up, and the battle between the Eastern and Western emperors is intensifying. The separatist princes in various places will not stop their progress. They will merge with each other, unite with each other, and fight each other.

Han Sui and Ma Teng also unknowingly fell into a situation where they could not develop.

To the east is the Yellow Turban Army, which is in full swing, to the south is Yizhou, which has closed all dangerous checkpoints, and Dong Zhuo, who has now revived.

Huangfusong defeated the three-party coalition forces of the Kingdom, Han Sui, and Ma Teng in Chencang in the past, and defeated the rebels in Liangzhou in the first battle.

The situation in the world is changing, and the heroes are chasing after each other.

The aristocratic families in the Central Plains have already cast their chess pieces on the chessboard of Jiangshan Sheji, and the Wuwei Jia family is naturally unwilling to be excluded from the chessboard.

"In Bingzhou, all the dark guard intelligence offices under Han Sui and Ma Teng's subordinates are under the supervision of the Wolf Guard. The letters sent to Liangzhou have been changed by us. If there is no accident, I'm afraid we will wait until we officially enter Liangzhou. Han Sui and Ma Teng will get the news."

Liu Pi continued to report the affairs in Bingzhou to Xu An, and when he mentioned the hidden guards, a trace of contempt flashed in Liu Pi's eyes.

Compared to the formidable enemy who used to be the embroidered emissary, whether it is the Xuanting guard under Dong Zhuo's command or the dark guard of Liangzhou today, it is more like a joke.

The clumsiness of his methods is almost like a childish child, as ridiculous as playing with an ax in class.

On the contrary, the so-called "monsters" established by Yuan Shao in Jizhou brought more troubles to the Eagle Wolf Guard. Even the "monsters" followed the example of the Eagle Wolf Guard and set up "six doors" and recruited some rangers from various places. assistance.

Xu An nodded slightly. Today's Eagle Wolf Guard can really be called a colossus, and has a pivotal position in the Taiping Road.

"Big banner order!"

Xu Anle stopped the horse, raised the whip in his hand, and said with emotion.

"The two battalions of Xiaoqi and Bingzhou followed me eastward, marched towards the Yellow River, and went down the river to attack the Northland!"
