The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 578 Situation

"I have already sent a letter to Zhang Yan. After receiving the order, he will immediately conquer Linjing, the seat of Anding County, and then continue marching westward to Wushi City via Qingshi'an."

"Linjing City's defenses have been damaged in many places. If it wasn't for Ma Teng not to give up Anding County, he could have taken it down long ago. As soon as the letter arrives, Linjing City can be taken down."

Yan Zhong pointed to the southern part of the map of Anding County on Hu's table, which was Linjing, the seat of Anding County, and where the infantry of the Yellow Turban Army led by Zhang Yan was located.

"Linjing City is more than [-] miles away from Wushi City in a straight line. On the way, they need to pass through the Qingshi Bank. Zhang Yan's army is carrying a lot of luggage, and they have to transport 'Thunderbolt Chariots'. It will take about ten days to arrive at Wuzhi City."

The "thunderbolt car" that Yan Zhong said was the counterweight trebuchet of the Yellow Turban Army. Xu Anding originally called it "counterweight trebuchet", but the name was a bit long and awkward. The conventions and customs in the army all used the name "Pili Chariot" of the Han court.

Xu An nodded. The overall situation in Anding County was settled, and Ma Teng couldn't possibly have the chance to stir up trouble.

There are only two roads waiting for Ma Teng, one is to surrender, and the other is to perish.

"Recently, there seems to be frequent fighting in the Central Plains, and the fighting in the Han court has become more and more fierce. How are Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao's recent actions?"

Xu An turned his attention to the Sili Captain's Department on the map, which is completely opposite to Anding County, where Dong Zhuo now occupies the territory.

Hearing Xu An's question, Liu Pi, who was standing aside, took half a step forward and approached the Hu table.

He is the commander of the Eagle Wolf Guard, and he is checking the information sent by the Eagle Guard. During this time, Xu An's attention is on the affairs of Liangzhou, and it is not easy to be distracted. Therefore, the information from the Central Plains, Xu An Ann didn't bother to read it.

The battle of Gaopingchuan has finally come to an end now, and the most difficult first step to conquer Liangzhou has been taken.

At this time, Xu An had the leisure to ask about the dispute between the Eastern and Western Emperors of the Central Plains. A piece of news from the Eagle Guard made Xu An really worried.

Dong Zhuo did not stay in Meiwu like the original time and space, indulged in sensuality, drunkenness, ignorance of government affairs, and walked towards destruction step by step.

Instead, he left Meiwu again, closed Meiwu, and dispersed all the attendants of Meiwu.

Dong Zhuo also used all the money, food and property in Meiwu as military supplies, and all valuable utensils were exchanged for money, food and property.

Dong Zhuo seems to have really regained his strength this time. Originally, Dong Zhuo lived in a shallow place and ignored the government, resulting in the fall of power. Situ Wangyun took control of the power of the court, but this situation also changed when Dong Zhuo walked out of Hewu.

After Dong Zhuo returned to Chang'an City, only a few days later, the power of the imperial court had returned to his hands.

Dong Zhuo had [-] generals under his command, but there were only a few thousand generals under the control of Wang Yun and other court ministers. Even the palace guards, the commanders of Habayashi, Huben and other armies were all generals under Dong Zhuo's command.

The title of Emperor Liu Bian is really in name only, like a puppet on a string, he can only be manipulated by Dong Zhuo.

However, after Dong Zhuo and Li Ru cleared up their suspicions, they adopted many of Li Ru's suggestions, and they were no longer as aggressive as they used to be in Luoyang. Respect.

Liu Pi beckoned lightly, and the two Tiqi of the Eagle Wolf Guard understood, and immediately moved to Henan Yin of Sili County.

"Dong Zhuo sent Zhonglang generals Dong Yan and Hua Xiong out of Hangu Pass, and now they are stationed in Luoyang, occupying three passes, and going south to invade Xincheng, Nanyang County and other places. Sun Jian was forced to return to the army. The two armies recently broke out in fierce fighting in Shicheng. "

"Sun Jian's soldiers were exhausted due to repeated mobilization of troops. Although they won, they were only small victories. The results obtained were extremely limited. Dong Yan's strength did not suffer much loss. Now the two armies have entered a stalemate."

"Dong Zhuo is now recruiting troops in Sili on a large scale, training new troops, and dispatching troops to enrich the various passes. A large number of troops are stationed in Hongnong City, Hongnong County. It seems that he is preparing to leave Hangu Pass and enter Luoyang to recover the lost land."

Liu Pi looked a little dignified, and said in a deep voice.

"One more thing, under Dong Zhuo's command, a wide range of rangers were recruited to enrich the Xuanting Guard. Now the Eagle Guard's activities in Sili are greatly restricted, and several strongholds have been pulled out. Maybe the news received and inquired about in the future will be more and more. Less."

Xu An frowned slightly. Although he had expected it, he was still a little uncomfortable when he heard Liu Pi say that the Eagle Guards could not maintain their suppression.

Enemies are not always the same, Xuan Tingwei absorbed the essence of the Embroidered Clothes Emissary at any rate and established it, not to mention that Dong Zhuo occupies the land of Sili, the most affluent place in the world, there is no shortage of money at all, and he has spared no effort during this period of time Develop Xuantingwei.

Although the Eagle Wolf Guard of Taipingdao had the strongest comprehensive strength, the Xuan Ting Guard was an official force in Sili after all, and it was normal for the Eagle Guard to be suppressed.

Xu An knocked on the Hu table, and continued to ask: "How is the situation with Yuan Shao?"

"In mid-November, Yuan Shao assembled an army of [-] to lead the troops westward, and marched northward from Qinghe to attack Bohai County. Gongsun Zan and Pingyuan Prime Minister Liu Bei set up defenses at Longcou."

"According to Yingwei's report, Yuan Shao's army was victorious in the battle of Longguo, and Gongsun Zan was defeated again, directly abandoning Bohai County. More than half of the generals should have been lost, and their strength was greatly damaged, so they were forced to retreat to Youzhou."

"Liu Bei?"

Xu An heard a familiar name.

"I remember the last time it seemed that Liu Bei led the army to support Gongsun Zan, which made Gongsun Zan gather the remnants and stabilize the territory of Bohai County."

Liu Pi paused, nodded and said, "Duke Ming remembers correctly, it was indeed Liu Bei who supported Gongsun Zan last time, which saved the Youzhou Army from being wiped out."

"Speaking of which, there is something about Liu Bei. He was a general under Liu Yu's command. After Zou Jing's death, he gained Liu Yu's attention. Before Gongsun Zan led the imperial edict of Chen Du to attack Yuan Shao, Liu Yu sent Liu Bei to assist Gongsun Zan."

"The army directly under his command does not seem to be many, only about [-] cavalry, but according to reports from the Eagle Guard in Pingyuan County, Liu Bei had nearly [-] troops at his peak."

"Previously, the Qingzhou soldiers attacked several times. The Le'an State Prime Minister appointed by Gongsun Zan was quickly defeated. Half of the county was occupied by the Qingzhou soldiers. However, Liu Bei repeatedly defeated the Qingzhou soldiers who came to crusade, and even invaded Jinan, Qingzhou. At home, Jiao He, governor of Qingzhou, dare not continue to attack Pingyuan County."

Listening to Liu Pi's narration, Xu An couldn't help but look a little dignified.

In the original time and space, Liu Bei's life can be called a legend. It started in the early days, but finally divided the world. The battle of Hanzhong shocked the world. Its Sanxing Han Dynasty has fulfilled the promise made in the past.

Now, the butterfly effect caused by his butterfly flapping its wings, Xu An, has also affected Liu Bei, and Liu Bei has now achieved greater achievements than in the original time and space at the same time.

In the original time and space, Liu Bei did not get the appreciation of Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan at the same time, nor did he have five thousand elite riders.

Xu An's eyes were slightly cold, he knew what kind of person Liu Bei was.

He knew how terrifying the Liu Bei in history was. No matter how many people fell, no matter how badly the fall was, he could still stand up, and became stronger and more determined each time.

Throughout his life, he never forgot the promise he made.
