The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 626 Trap (Two in One)
In the third year of Chuping (192), April, [-]th.

The Eastern Army, headed by Sun Jian, with Yuan Shu and Cao Cao as deputy, dispatched troops from two directions and marched towards Liyang.

Since then, the Battle of Dongjun has begun.

The Yingwei lurking in Dongjun sent the news to Taihang Mountain as quickly as possible, and then sent it to Jinyang City in Taiyuan County via Shangdang County with the highest military order.

April twenty-fourth.

In the Jinyang government office, the silence was terrifying.

In the lobby of the government office, a group of yellow scarf army generals in military uniforms sat on both sides, all with awe-inspiring expressions.

Jia Xu and Xu You are sitting in the first and second seats on the left.

Gong Du and Lu Bu sat on the right side as the chief and second seat, and Ma Teng was next to Lu Bu.

The Yellow Turban Army has a total of three heavy-ranked generals, and this time they all sat in Jinyang.

Ma Teng looked at a yellow scarf army general who was sitting in the hall. After Liangzhou settled down, Xu An used Yan Zhong as Liangzhou pastoral agent to represent Liangzhou. When he returned to Taiyuan County, Ma Teng followed Xu An back to Bingzhou .

Liangzhou has already settled down, so it is naturally impossible for Xu An to let Ma Teng, who has a lot of prestige, stay in Liangzhou.

Ma Teng's continued stay in Liangzhou will always be an unstable factor.

So Ma Teng, General Pingdong, the third heavy-ranked general of the Yellow Turban Army, is actually just a virtual position without any real power.

Ma Teng also accepted such an arrangement. Gao Pingchuan was defeated, and the Yellow Turban Army sacked Liangzhou, and there was no room for him to refuse.

This meeting is very important, and all the people present are generals and lieutenants of the Yellow Turban Army.

Ma Teng has been here for almost a year, and he basically knows all the generals in the Yellow Turban Army. Now Ma Teng is basically unemployed at home, without any rights, only vacancies, so most of his time is spent on entertainment.

Winner and loser, Ma Teng has accepted this kind of life, and the prosperity of Jinyang City has also diluted some of his ambitions.

It's just that when he came to such a place again, Ma Teng felt some strange feelings in his heart.

In the hall, there was a general of the Yellow Turban Army who sat upright. None of them looked around, and none of them whispered to each other.There was firmness in their eyes.

These generals in the Yellow Turban Army were completely different from the Han army generals he had seen before, and the Qiangdi heroes he had seen before.

It seems like they are a qualified general and a qualified soldier should have the demeanor.

Ma Teng had seen the training scene in the Taipingdao Army Academy, and also been to the lecture hall. The Yellow Turban Army was completely different from other troops in every aspect.

Ma Teng looked at the yellow turban generals in the hall who were not looking sideways, and now he no longer doubted whether Taipingdao could win the final victory.

Taiping Road is taking a brand new path, a path unique to it.

The students of Meng Xuetang, the officers of military academies, they can learn various aspects of knowledge.

Originally, all these were regarded as treasures by those aristocratic families. They stored the bamboo slips that recorded all kinds of knowledge in their own homes and warehouses in various places. They were not open to outsiders and passed down as family learning.

Those knowledge originally only existed in those aristocratic and powerful families, and the common people were not even qualified to take a look at it for a lifetime.

However, now Taipingdao took out all the family studies that were regarded as treasures by various families, took those bamboo slips, and those books from the powerful families of the aristocratic families.

Then use paper to make books, and teach them unreservedly to ordinary people, soldiers, etc., those poor people who would never have the opportunity to have any contact with them in their entire lives.

Whether it is Chang'an in the West Court or Chendu in the East Court, it is impossible to imitate the Yellow Turban Army to open schools and military academies.

Any powerful family would not be willing to contribute their family's collection of books to let those humble commoners learn. Those family studies are the foundation of their family's life, how can they be easily handed over?

The Yellow Turban Army is getting stronger day by day, and the literate people of the Yellow Turban Army have reached a terrifying level compared to other armies. Although most of them only know their own names and some simple Chinese characters, they are after all Literacy, and in constant progress.

Even the teachers in the literacy class would teach those ordinary soldiers some military knowledge. Ma Teng once went to see a literacy class in class.

It seemed that Xu An was training the entire Yellow Turban Army as officers.

Ma Teng has no doubts that those who have passed the literacy class training have the ability to become a team leader.

"salute!"

A high-pitched voice interrupted Ma Teng's thoughts.

Ma Teng stood up subconsciously, looking in the direction of the door.

There was a sound of standing up in the hall. All the generals were facing the gate, with their heads held high, their eyes awe-inspiring, they raised their right hands, clenched their fists and put them on the left chest about an inch in front of the heart. Ma Teng did the same. He raised his hand and saluted as well.

This is the second time that Xu An has reformed military etiquette. This time, in addition to removing the two main etiquettes of bowing and bowing, there are also some other military etiquettes.

Now everyone in the Yellow Turban Army, from generals to ordinary soldiers, all use this fist-clenching salute, and it is stipulated that when saluting, they must hold their heads high.

It has to be said that Xu An's reform of military etiquette this time is completely correct.

The reform of the military etiquette made the mental outlook of the Yellow Turban Army look like a new look, no matter in spirit or in all aspects, it is more vigorous than before.

When a person holds his head high and bows his head, the feeling in his heart is like a world of difference, and the impact it brings is also a world of difference.

The fist salute quickly replaced the original etiquette in the Yellow Turban Army, and was quickly accepted by the majority of soldiers.

Those generals and schools did not object to this. The Yellow Turban Army called each other comrades, and the ideology of Taiping Dao influenced them. They did not have the bad habits of superiors oppressing subordinates and bullying subordinates in ordinary feudal armies.

The sound of footsteps came from outside the hall. Xu An was dressed in a military uniform and a burqa, and strode into the hall.

Wearing a fragrant eagle-wolf suit, Liu Pi followed closely behind, pressing the Yanling saber in his hand.

Facing the eyes of all the generals in the hall, Xu An walked to the chief position. Liu Pi stood on the right side of Xu An with a knife, and the guards were beside him. After Xu An stood still, the generals in the hall put down They stretched their arms, but their eyes still stayed on Xu An's body.

Ma Teng felt a little cold in his heart. He noticed that most of these generals of the Yellow Turban Army looked at Xu An with almost crazy worship. Their eyes were extremely hot, as if...as if they saw a god.

Ma Teng was a little terrified, he felt that if Xu An let these generals die, these generals would obey the order without hesitation.

Xu An stood in the chief position, but he did not sit down.

Everyone's eyes didn't make Xu An feel the slightest discomfort.

"Just the day before yesterday, April [-]st."

Xu An's face was gloomy, and he said in a deep voice.

"The Han army in Guanzhong attacked Liangzhou and Hedong County from Xiaoguan and Zuofengyi."

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly froze, and Ma Teng's eyes flashed with surprise.

Dong Zhuo actually attacked Taipingdao at this time, and the time of attack was the day after the outbreak of the Battle of Dongjun.

It is a coincidence, I am afraid no one will believe it.

Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao had definitely planned in secret long ago, and when the war broke out, it was the time when the plan appeared.

In addition to being shocked, Ma Teng's expression became serious.

Yuan Shao and Sun Jian fought decisively on the north and south banks of the Yellow River. This was originally a good opportunity to fish in troubled waters on the Taiping Road.

But now that Dong Zhuo suddenly launched an attack, I am afraid that this time the Yellow Turban Army can no longer stay out of the way and watch the tigers fight.

Ma Teng was thinking about it, but suddenly found that although Xu An's face was gloomy, it was not worried at all, but rather cold.

It seems... It seems that all of this is in Xu An's expectation...

"The Battle of Dongjun has already broken out. Yuan Shao and Sun Jian are now locked in a fierce battle, and the battle is extremely stalemate."

Xu An looked around at the generals in the tent.

"Since Dong Zhuo has chosen to take the initiative to attack, then our plan will also change."

Xu An took a step forward.

"Originally, I planned to win the Guanzhong land within a year, but now it seems that it only takes three months."

Xu An pressed the Yanling Saber on his waist, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, Dong Zhuo is really brave enough to go to the mountains with tigers."

Xu An's gaze rested on Jia Xu's body.

Yuan Shao's plan had already been figured out by Jia Xu.

After all, Yuan Shao also knew the danger of the Taiping Road, and knew that Xu An would never let such a good opportunity go.

Sitting on a mountain and watching a tiger fight, the fight between two tigers is not a profound truth.

Yuan Shao has Tian Feng, Ju Shou and other first-class counselors under his command, so how could it be possible that he has no defense against him.

However, it is hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, Yuan Shao is now in a very embarrassing situation, and what he can do is extremely limited.

Afterwards, the general direction and context were logically calculated by Jia Xu one by one. Among them, Dong Zhuo took the initiative to attack and attack the Hedong County and Shang County in Bingzhou, as well as Wudu County, Anding County or Hanyang in Liangzhou. county.

Therefore, Xu An had already arranged back-ups in all these places.

Once Dong Zhuo really cooperates with Yuan Shao to launch an attack on the Yellow Turban Army during the war, and wants to drag the Yellow Turban Army into the quagmire of the war, then all the behind-the-scenes will rise to the surface, giving Dong Zhuo a big surprise.

"The dogs in the Central Plains seem to think that my Yellow Turban Army is a bit weak."

Xu An's eyes froze slightly. Once the Guanzhong land is in his pocket, the Taiping Road will be like a dragon throwing himself into the sea, and a tiger rushing to the mountains!
……

Chuping three years, April [-]th.

Hedong County, Puban City.

The khaki-colored banners on the city wall seemed to be covered in a layer of haze, and there were countless densely packed and extremely gloomy black banners below the city.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The thick sound of war drums swept forward and hit the wall of Puban City fiercely.

A large number of ladders have been erected, and the hooks made of metal are firmly embedded in the city wall. There is no way to push the ladders away. Armed with swords and shields, Xiliang soldiers with a hideous expression went up the ladders crazily. the climb.

"kill!!!"

"The first climber will be rewarded with a hundred gold!!!"

Wave after wave of deafening shouts of killing came violently towards Puban City.

On the city wall, Xiliang soldiers in black robes and soldiers in yellow scarves were fighting desperately.

Xu Rong pressed his hands on the hilt of the sword, and the tip of the sword touched the ground. His eyes were cold, watching the fight on the city wall.

On the battlefield, a large number of soldiers died every minute and every second, but Duan Yan did not show any emotion on his face.

The siege battle has been going on for six full days. During the six-day storm, more than [-] Xiliang soldiers died under Puban City, causing heavy casualties. However, the Yellow Turban Army in the city still resisted tenaciously.

The messenger came in a hurry to report.

"The mound can be built in three hours, and our troops can ascend the city by then."

Xu Rong nodded slightly, but did not reply, and the soldier who delivered the order did not dare to stay, and retreated behind Xu Rong.

Xu Rong narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the dilapidated Puban City in the distance.

He didn't think that after the mound was built, Puban City could be captured.

At the beginning of this battle, he had a bad premonition in his heart.

Looking up at the gloomy sky, Xu Rong's eyes became even darker.

The building will collapse, and a single tree will not be able to support it.

Xu Rong remembered a saying that was widely circulated among the Yellow Turban Army. This sentence originally referred to the Han court, but now it is very appropriate to use it on Dong Zhuo.

The Xiliang Army was rotten to the core, and the defeat in the two battles crushed the confidence of the Xiliang Army, as well as Dong Zhuo's ambitions that Li Ru had managed to arouse.

But now Dong Zhuo still has a clear head, knowing that he is surrounded by the Yellow Turban Army on three sides, and it is inevitable to avoid it.

But what chilled Xu Rong even more was Dong Zhuo's attitude towards him.

Dong Zhuo was cronyistic and moody. He defeated Sun Jian and Cao Cao and won two battles, but he was not qualified to be a general of Zhonglang. Now that he was defeated in the battle of Yanshi, he was even demoted to a higher rank.

This time he invaded Hedong and handed over Puban City, which is the most heavily guarded and dangerous, to him to attack.

"Taiping Road..."

Xu Rong whispered in a voice that only he could hear.

Now there is an opportunity in front of him.

Maybe it's time...

……

Guanzhong, Chang'an City.

Situ House.

"Dong Zhuo has left Beijing."

Wang Yun put down the note in his hand and said in a deep voice.

At this time, there were more than a dozen generals and schools in military uniforms standing in the inner house.

"Has Situ already made arrangements?"

A tall general in military uniform with white hair on his temples asked.

The white-haired general was none other than Huang Fusong who was demoted to be a doctor.

"The arrangements have been made, please rest assured."

When Wang Yun heard Huangfusong's words, he immediately replied solemnly.

"Gai Xun is ready. This time Dong Zhuo's list of generals and schools staying in Chang'an City has also been found out, and Li Su was indeed kept."

"We only have this one chance..."

Huangfu Song stood up slowly and looked at the people in the room.

"If you fail this time, you will die!"
