The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 605 Breaking Point

"Donglai..."

Xu An's eyes narrowed slightly. If he remembered correctly, Donglai County is not far from Taishan County, and there seems to be only a Beihai country between them.

Soon Xu An found a map of counties and states in the Qingzhou area from the pile of maps.

His memory is not wrong, the Donglai County that Gongsun Du now occupies is not far from Taishan County.

"Zhao Le!"

Xu An stood up, with bright eyes, and shouted loudly to the outside of the house.

Outside the house, the sound of slightly flustered footsteps soon sounded.

The wooden door was opened, Zhao Le supported the hat on his head, walked into the house in a panic and asked.

"Minggong, what are your orders?"

"Where is the document that the envoy sent to contact Gongsundu reported back, take me to find it."

Xu An strode out of the house, Zhao Le heard Xu An's order, and trotted forward to lead the way for Xu An.

Although he didn't know why Xu An was so anxious to read the previous documents from the Department of Foreign Affairs, he had a habit that no matter what Xu An said, he only answered and never asked questions.

Flipping through the archives of the Department of Foreign Affairs, Xu An's frown slowly relaxed.

Gongsundu is the breaking point!
Gongsun Du did not directly reject the envoy sent by Xu An, on the contrary, he was more polite, and the conversation between the two parties was more pleasant, it can be said that the host and guest had a good time.

Xu An also found a map of Liaodong. The map of Liaodong drawn by Yingwei was quite detailed, and it roughly marked Gongsundu's territory.

Gongsun Du now occupies Liaodong County, Liaodong Dependent Country, Lelang County, and Xuantu County, conquering Goguryeo in the east, Karasuma in the west, and conquering Puyu.

In Liaodong, the strong do not bully the weak, the masses do not overpower the few, and merchants do not hesitate to sell. People from the Central Plains fled far and wide to take refuge in Liaodong due to the war.

This Gongsun Du is not small in ambition, but also courageous.

Yuan Shao now besieged Gongsun Zan in Yi County, and Gongsun Du also took advantage of the chaos to bring all the northern part of Liaoxi County under his rule.

However, Gongsun Du also had self-knowledge, he knew that the military power under his command was far inferior to Yuan Shao, so he did not continue to go south, but instead took the sea to capture Donglai.

"King of Liaodong..."

Xu An's eyes flickered, and he pondered for a while.

Gongsun Du is a character, not like Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, who rashly wants to call himself emperor, but he is probably a master who does not see rabbits and does not scatter eagles.

"Remove Tian Zhong from the Taihang Workshop and send him to Liaodong. If this matter can be done well, the position of the Foreign Affairs Department will be his."

Xu An turned his head to think about Zhao Le who was beside him and said in a deep voice.

"Also, to mobilize a group of Eagle Guards, they must be elite. Once we reach an agreement with Gongsun Du, we will send them to Liaodong, and then ask Gongsun Du to send them to Donglai."

The land traffic is now cut off, and it is becoming more and more difficult to install Eagle Guards in the four states. The only feasible way is to go by sea, and it just so happens that Gongsun Du's current navy is the best in the north. .

The lack of intelligence and the long distance made it difficult for Xu An to establish contact with the Taishan Yellow Turban Army and help him out of his current predicament.

Expanding the power of the intelligence departments of the four states is an imminent task for today's Taipingdao.

The Taishan Yellow Turban matter has been mostly resolved. According to Lu Sheng's reply, he has reached an agreement with Zang Ba, and the two sides will help each other in offense and defense.

Zang Ba needs the Taishan Yellow Turban Army to stop the western enemies for him, so that he can free up his hands and attack the central and southern areas of Xuzhou with peace of mind.

As for the matter in Youzhou, Xu An was also helpless.

Gongsun Zan still followed the old path and started his bad career.

If it is said that there are ranks in bad performances, and Dong Zhuo is the master of bad performances, then Gongsun Zan should be the strongest king of bad performances.

Dong Zhuo occupied the land in Guanzhong, established Heiwu, and indulged in sensuality, but he didn't completely ignore the affairs of the court. The military power was still firmly in his hands, and the power of the government was also in his hands.

But Gongsun Zan's performance was really outrageous.

Gongsun Zan gave up almost all the territory in Youzhou, led all the remaining soldiers under his command, and entered Yi County.

It is worth mentioning that Yi County is not in Youzhou, but in the northernmost part of Hejian Kingdom in Jizhou. In other words, Yuan Shao has completely occupied the territory ruled by Gongsun Zan and completed a rough unification.

Gongsun Zan built "Jing" in Yi County as a defense, and Yi County was also called "Yi Jing" in the north.

The meaning of "Jing" refers to the tall and large mounds piled up with soil.

Gongsun Zan dug more than ten heavy trenches near the Yi River, and piled up mounds as high as five or six feet in the trenches, and built camps on the mounds.

The mound in the center of the trench was the tallest, reaching more than ten feet. Gongsun Zan lived in it, with iron gates, and the left and right sides were closed, so that men over seven years old were not allowed to enter, and they only lived in it with their wives and concubines, and hoarded three million hu of grain.

Gongsun Zan also let the women learn to speak loudly, so that the voice can be transmitted hundreds of steps, which is used to convey orders.

Gongsun Zan was alienated from the guests again, so that he didn't have a single confidant by his side, and the advisers and generals gradually became alienated.

"I used to drive the Hu in front of the border, and at this time, it was said that the world's command and control can be determined. As for today, the military revolution has just begun, and it is not my decision. It is better to stop the army and plow to save the evil year. The art of war does not attack a hundred buildings. .Today, our barracks are thousands of miles away, and the accumulated grain is three million dendrobiums. This is enough to wait for the changes in the world."

That said, but in fact Gongsun Zan has completely lost his ambition to fight for world hegemony.

In fact, Gongsun Zan lost so quickly, Xu An should bear a lot of responsibility.

If it hadn't been for him to prompt the Yellow Turban Army of the four prefectures to revive ahead of schedule and plan a plan to relocate thousands of miles, Lu Zhi would not have led the Xiyuan Forbidden Army to station in Jizhou.

After Lu Zhi led the Xiyuan Forbidden Army to enter Jizhou, Liu Hong was critically ill, Lu Zhi was also recalled, and a series of things happened one after another in Dong Zhuo's chaos in Beijing. Finally, the Xiyuan Forbidden Army was acquired by Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao relied on the Xiyuan Forbidden Army as the main force to rise step by step. In the Battle of Zhangshui, the reason why the Xiyuan Forbidden Army lost to the Yellow Turban Army was not because they lost in a head-on confrontation.

In the Battle of Zhangshui, the Forbidden Army of the West Garden told everyone with their actual record that they were still the most powerful army in this era, and even the Yellow Angels at that time were still far behind them.

However, in the face of not being resisted by manpower, the sudden stone throwing machine, and a series of changes, this led to the defeat of the Battle of Zhangshui.

But it was too late to say anything now. Xu An spent more than half a year to stabilize the entire Liangzhou, subdue the Qiang and Hu tribes in Liangzhou, and brought Liangzhou into the jurisdiction of Taiping Dao.

And Yuan Shao did not lag behind, occupying Youzhou and the northern border of Xuzhou.

The current world situation has changed again.

The court of Chendu occupied the four prefectures of Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Yangzhou, and Xuzhou (southern).

The Chang'an imperial court occupied the five prefectures of Sili, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Youzhou, and Xuzhou (northern).

And Xu An occupies Liangzhou, Bingzhou, two counties of Youzhou and one county of Sili.

The only neutral states are Yizhou, Jiaozhou, and Jingzhou.

Liu Biao in Jingzhou seems to be brewing something secretly, and has not made any statement.

Since Liu Biao succeeded in unifying Jingzhou, he seems to have been busy cleaning up the internal enemies, regardless of what happened outside.

　Every time I see Gongsun Zan, I feel that his last operation is outrageous.

　　The story of Taishan Huangjin and Gongsundu is finished, and the next chapter will enter the main storyline
