The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 58
Beacon fires erupted outside the Taihang Mountains, and the chaos continued, and the power struggle in the Luoyang court gradually intensified.

The Taihang Mountains are also turbulent, with countless forces coming and going, and a new generation replaces the old.

Although Xu An pacified the bandits in the middle of the Taihang Mountains, beheaded Yu Digen, Li Damu, and Qing Niujiao, and subdued Huanglong, the power in the Taihang Mountains did not decrease but increased.

Among them, Zuo Jiao, Guo Daxian, Zhang Baiqi, Liu Shi, Zuo Maozhangba, Pinghan, and Daji are located in the north of Taihang Mountain.

Sili, Yezai, Lei Gong, Fuyun, Baique, Yang Feng, Yudu, Wulu, Bairao, Qigu and Kusui are located in the south of Taihang Mountain.

There are still seventeen large and small forces in the Taihang Mountains.

In Banyun Mountain, Xu An's sergeants have been consolidating for nearly three months.

A huge topographic map of mountains and rivers was hung in Xu An's house. Xu An was standing in front of the topographic map, watching carefully. Liu Pi, Gong Du, and Huang Long were standing on both sides of the map.

Hearing Xu An's plan, Huang Long's face became embarrassed and he cried out, "Attack Jingxing?!"

Liu Pi and Gong both followed the voice and looked at Huang Long. Huang Long also knew that he had lost his temper, but he still took a step forward and said to Xu An, "General, I think this matter needs to be considered in the long run. Jingxing Pass is easy to defend and difficult to defend. Attack, the city is strong and the pool is strong, I am afraid it is..."

"Last year, I besieged Jingxing with a large army of [-] people. Not only did I fail to capture Jingxing Pass, but I was killed by the defenders. If my subordinates hadn't sacrificed their lives to save me, I would have become a handful of loess under Jingxing Pass. ."

Liu Pi and others also knew the situation in Jingxing Pass. When Jingxing Pass was captured, Liu Pi and Gong both surveyed the pass wall early. At that time, a lot of equipment and materials for defending the city were also found in the warehouse.

"This time is different from the past." The military stick in Xu An's hand moved from Jingxing Pass to the east and landed on the sign of Yingtao City.

"There was a big epidemic in the first month, and rebels swarmed all over the place. The county soldiers in Jizhou are now running around to suppress the rebellion. The Lei Gongbu who entered the mountain from Fukou has confirmed that now Zhang Niujiao in Boling and the real Chu Feiyan are fighting together. Gall Pottery City."

"Now the main force of the county soldiers in Jizhou should gather in Yingtao City again. The east of Jingxing Pass is Zhending, but this area has already been occupied by Chu Feiyan, and the forces of officers and soldiers are suppressed in a few cities and dare not act rashly."

Xu An paused for a while, and pointed the military stick in his hand back to Jingxing Pass.

"The number of soldiers stationed at Jingxing Pass all year round is usually only one song. Even if the number of defenders increased to [-] after the last attack, our army has more than [-] people. At least [-]% of Jingxing Pass will be captured, and no matter how bad it is, it will be possible. Get out of your body."

"Huang Long, the reason why you didn't capture Jingxing Pass before was largely because of the steady stream of officers and soldiers supported by Jizhou, but now that Jizhou is full of beacon fires, you don't need to worry about the reinforcements of the Han army. There are only less than five hundred defenders."

Since Liu Pi and Gong Du captured Lutai Mountain, they have no objection to Xu An's judgment.

Although Huang Long was quite resistant to attacking Jingxing Pass, he couldn't find anything to refute, and besides him, he had no other objection, so he could only bow and go back.

Xu An glanced at Liu Pi and Gong Du again, and when they saw that they had no objection, he gave an order.

"Raise your troops at [-] tomorrow, Liu Pi, you lead the troops to stay at Banyun Mountain, Gong Du and Huang Long will follow me."

"promise."

After the three of Liu Pi sang a promise, they retired one after another and returned to their respective residences.

In fact, Xu An did not give all the reasons. Another most important reason for attacking Jingxing Pass was Chu Feiyan. Chu Feiyan was the later Zhang Yan, the biggest bandit leader in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and the leader of the Million Black Mountain Army in Taihang Mountains.

Zhang Yan started from the real life. When Huangfu Song was attacking the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou, he took his childhood playmate Zhanshan as the king. When he returned to the real time again, the army under his command actually swelled to more than [-] people.

In February of this year, they joined forces with the Yellow Turban Zhang Niujiao of Boling. The two gathered nearly [-] troops to besiege the city of Yingtao, an important town in Jizhou.

Anyone who knows history knows that the result of the battle of Yingtao was that Zhang Niu's horn was shot by a stray arrow. When he was dying, he ordered his subordinates to honor Chu Yan as the leader. Later, Chu Yan led his troops back to Zhending, and fled from Zhending into in the Taihang Mountains.

Then, step by step, all the bandits in the mountains were integrated, and in just one year, they developed into the Montenegrin Army, known as the millions of people in later generations.

The heroes of the world are looking at him, and the emperor personally seals the unfortunate general.

Even the emperor was forced to let him manage the administrative and public security affairs in the mountainous area north of the Yellow River.

The closest route from Zhending to Taihang Mountain is to enter from Jingxing Pass. After Yingtao was defeated, the army soldiers definitely pursued Zhang Yan.

If Xu An occupied Jingxing Pass ahead of schedule, and relying on the [-]-odd remaining soldiers who had been defeated by Ying Tao, Zhang Yan would never be able to attack the heavily guarded Jingxing Pass. If Zhang Yan wanted to survive then, he could only surrender to Xu An. .

Although Xu An did not know the details of Zhang Yan's subjugation of various bandits in the Taihang Mountains in history, if he subdued these more than [-] remnants, Xu An's army would immediately become the most powerful force in the entire Taihang Mountains.

Moreover, Zhang Yan was able to monopolize a place in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the heroes were rising together, and stood firm. When the eighteen princes turned against Dong Zhuo, Zhang Yan also brought troops to form an alliance with the princes who were begging for Dong.

He even intervened in Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao's expedition against the two northern hegemons. Even after Yuan Shao eliminated Gongsun Zan, he was unable to annihilate the Montenegrin Army. After the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao named him General of Pingbei and Marquis of Anguoting.

Zhang Yan may not be a first-class existence in the Three Kingdoms in martial arts, but he can definitely be regarded as a hero.

After subduing the bandits in the central part of Taihang and attacking Jingxing Pass, Xu An has now established a firm foothold in Taihang Mountain.

But the road ahead is still full of thorns.

Looking at the dark night sky outside the house, Xu An's heart cooled a little bit. When playing many Three Kingdoms games, he only felt that these Black Mountain Army and Yellow Turban Army were just experience in leveling and promotion.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion was only briefly mentioned in Romance of the Three Kingdoms and history, but it was only after Xu An experienced it himself that he realized that the reality was so ruthless.

The Yellow Turbans are portrayed as demons, but if it weren't for the fact that they couldn't survive, who would be willing to take the risk of exterminating their families and rise up.

The flames that ignited in the brazier outside the house were all reflected in Xu An's eyes, terrifyingly hot.

In the middle of the Central Plains, wind and clouds are surging, and Luoyang is still a drunken fan...
