The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 646: Build Walls High, Accumulate Grain

Xu An and Tian Feng had talked for less than half an hour, but the matter of the alliance had been completely settled.

After Tian Feng agreed to the conditions, Xu An didn't argue any more. After the two of them roughly confirmed the situation of dispatching troops, they made an alliance and swore an oath and signed the covenant.

Tian Feng unfolded the covenant in his hand, read the content on it for the last time, and then closed it solemnly with a serious face.

"The covenant has been fulfilled, and Tian's mission has also been fulfilled, so I will return to Jizhou first to return to my command, and I will stop nagging General Xu."

Tian Feng saluted one last time and then withdrew from the big tent.

"That's all for today, Wen He and Zi Yuan, you two come with me."

After Tian Feng left, Xu An simply gave a few orders and left the big tent.

No one from the generals of the Yellow Turban Army questioned Xu An's order, and they all agreed and walked out of the tent.

Xu An walked towards the back of the big tent, Jia Xu tidied up his robes, and followed along with Xu You, who was frowning tightly.

When Xu An and Tian Feng were talking, Xu You kept frowning, but when he wanted to speak, he was stopped by Xu An's eyes.

As soon as Xu An settled down in the back tent, Xu You spoke anxiously.

"There are thousands of people in Jizhou, everyone can surrender, but Yuan Shao can't surrender. Before the Kwantung army launched a crusade against Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao appointed Zhou Ang as the governor of Yuzhou to attack Yuzhou unexpectedly, so that Sun Jian's westward expedition fell short."

"Yuan Shao also had a bad relationship with Yuan Shu at this time. The brothers fought against the wall and turned against each other."

Xu You was a little excited, his face flushed, and his voice was much higher than usual.

He offered the strategy of taking Hanoi and Yin of Henan, and took advantage of the chaos to exploit the strategy of attacking Youzhou and encroaching on the north.

But now that Tian Feng came, he reached a consensus with Xu An in a few words, turning his strategy into empty talk.

How can Xu You remain calm.

In the fifth year of Zhongping (188), he joined the Yellow Turban Army.

The first nomination certificate was to present the defense map of Jizhou, which prepared for the subsequent battle of Jizhou, so that the Yellow Turban Army could calmly deal with the Han army in Jizhou.

Later, he offered a plan to capture Xing, the capital of the army, and Juyongguan by clever means.

When the Yellow Turbans of the four prefectures merged, he was appointed as the envoy of the gods, and led Lu Bu and others to sneak into Qingzhou, successfully joined forces with the main force of the Yellow Turban Army in Bingzhou, and persuaded Yan Liang and Wen Chou to join.

His status has also risen all the way, and now he is the Fangzhu in the Taiping Road and the Lingjun of the Department of Internal Affairs.

In the Tao of Taiping, except for Xu An who is a great virtuous teacher, there are seven levels: Enlightenment, Enlightenment, Hearing the Tao, Enlightening the Tao, Obtaining the Tao, Fangzhu, and Great Doctor.

The great doctor is now the entire Taiping Road, and there is only Yan Zhong alone.

When Zhang Jiao rebelled in the past, only Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang had the title of great doctor, and the rest could only be Qu Shuai at best.

Xu You originally thought that when Yan Zhong retreated to Liangzhou, he should be able to become the new mastermind of the Taiping Dao, but he didn't want Jia Xu to intervene.

Apart from bringing nearly [-] soldiers and horses to surrender, there is no other important achievement. Even if they went to Liangzhou, they only went out with the army.

But Jia Xu ascended to a high position one step ahead of him, and was appointed by Xu An as the mastermind of the Taiping Road and concurrently as the commander of the Chinese Army Mansion.

Xu You couldn't understand why Xu An paid so much attention to Jia Xu, who was not very famous.

"Yuan Shu is currently serving as the right general in the court of Chendu, in charge of the most affluent and populous Nanyang County. Because of his previous escort, Liu Xie has great trust in him. According to Yuan Shu's character, he will never let Yuan Shao go. "

"After Yuan Shao surrendered, even if he could save his life temporarily, it would definitely be difficult to survive in the future."

"There are thousands of people in Jizhou, everyone can surrender, but Yuan Shao can never surrender!"

Xu You's face was solemn, and he raised his voice again and said.

"Yuan Shao knows his brother's nature better than us. He has been in a high position for a long time, and he can't accept the life of being a prisoner and losing power!"

"You don't need to worry about Tian Feng's threats, our army can just follow the original plan."

Xu You stepped forward a few steps, approached Xu An, bowed and said in a deep voice.

"Ziyuan calm down for a while."

Xu An stepped forward and said in relief.

"At the beginning Tian Feng said that he had defected and surrendered, it was really beyond my expectation, but after thinking about it for a while later, I also knew that most likely Yuan Shao would not really defect and surrender, he just used this matter as a threat."

"However, this possibility cannot be completely ruled out. If the persecution is too urgent, Yuan Shao will not see a glimmer of hope, and if he really waits for us to die, then the situation will take a turn for the worse, and the court of Chendu will also be greatly strengthened. This kind of thing, the revival of the prestige of the Han Dynasty is extremely detrimental to our army."

"Once Yuan Shao perishes, Jiaozhou and Yizhou will no longer stay out of the matter. If Liu Yan and Shi Xie also surrender, then the court of Chendu will take over the land of the ten states. Sun Jian will sweep the world with great momentum, and his morale will be like a rainbow. When the army is at its peak, our army will inevitably face difficulties."

"and."

Xu An paused, then changed the subject.

"Actually, in this way, compared with our previous planning, it is actually better."

Xu You's eyes moved slightly and looked at Xu An with doubts. He didn't know why Xu An said that suddenly.

In the current situation, he was obviously forced to join the war against Sun Jian, and he could no longer stay out of it, nor could he seize Youzhou, nor could he maximize the benefits.

Xu You's heart moved, and he turned to look at Jia Xu.

Sure enough, Jia Xu's face was calm, obviously not too much affected by the signing of the covenant just now.

He remembered that when he talked with Tian Feng before, it seemed that Jia Xu and Xu An had exchanged in low voices for a while.

"The Taishan Yellow Turban Army has [-] people, among which there are no less than [-] old soldiers with war experience. In the past when they attacked Jibei Kingdom, tens of thousands of Yanzhou troops returned home, but now they are alone in the four states. Take this opportunity to bring them over."

"If the Taishan Yellow Turban Army can enter Bingzhou and enter the area under our army's jurisdiction, it will undoubtedly greatly boost our army's morale and increase our army's prestige."

Before the Yellow Turban Army from the Four States entered Bingzhou, all the soldiers and generals of the Yellow Turban Army were encouraged and their morale was extremely high.

The most important thing is that the people in these four prefectures who believe in Taiping Dao also improved the environment in Bingzhou and other places for the Yellow Turban Army. Most of them believed in Taiping Dao. Slowly turn into Taiping Road.

The [-] Taishan Yellow Turban Army in Taishan County can fill in the Guanzhong area, fill in Yingtian County, and fill some vacancies left by those powerful families who left, and serve as a barrier for Chang'an.

Moreover, if the Taishan Yellow Turban Army is reorganized, I am afraid that tens of thousands of elite soldiers can be reorganized. Xu An is confident that after half a year of training, they can become an elite army if they are equipped with weapons.

Although it is not as good as the sharp soldiers and soldiers in the Yellow Turban Army, it is definitely better than ordinary trilogy.

In the era of cold weapons, the soldiers who have experienced the baptism of swords and guns and the soldiers who have not experienced the baptism of swords and guns and have not experienced battle are completely different.

After the popularization of firearms, wars are often long-distance confrontations.

After a soldier shoots an enemy, it is inevitable that there will be problems in his mind.

Many veterans who have experienced war have post-war traumatic stress disorder, and severe cases cannot even lead a normal life.

Soldiers in modern warfare are like this, and the pressure on soldiers in the cold weapon era can be imagined.

The enemies died directly in front of his eyes, and many of them were not killed immediately. His robe died beside him, and the threat of death lingered above his head.

On the battlefield, the value and role of [-] veterans are far greater than [-] recruits.

The veterans of the Yellow Turban Army in the previous Sizhou Army who had battle experience were reorganized into the "Sizhou Battalion".

Before going to Liangzhou, the Sizhou Battalion also made great contributions.

Newspaper offices under the Department of Mission and Education have been established in various places. Cooperating with the cultural and art teams under the Department of Mission and Education and the blessings of Taipingdao, they have a certain influence in various places.

This time to lead the Taishan Yellow Turban Army into Guanzhong, we can arrange for the Propaganda Department to let the newspaper office, and the art team will use this as a key point to make a big publicity.

Use this to promote the Yellow Turban Army, and take advantage of this shareholder style, as long as the publicity is effective, coupled with the follow-up public trial and complaint meeting, there will inevitably be many people in the Guanzhong area who believe in the way of peace.

At the same time, it can also weaken the power of the powerful family in the Guanzhong area and its influence on the local area.

The customary rule that imperial power should not go to the countryside is actually not conducive to ruling, and it is just a product of compromise under the influence of local clans like China.

What Xu An wants is not to re-establish a feudal country, a feudal dynasty that is bound to decay, decline, and perish in the land of Shenzhou.

If you want to truly change the world, you must firmly control the place and influence the villages and pavilions.

The people are water, and the country is a boat.

Water can carry a boat or capsize it.

If a country is separated from the struggle of the people, it is undoubtedly a castle in the air. No matter how gorgeous and brilliant it is, it is doomed to be unable to maintain. Such a country lacks strength.

Only by relying closely on the people can we have endless power.

The mountain starts from the fine soil, and the Hein trickles into it.

The seed of the new idea has long been planted, and now it has sprouted in the soil of the Yellow Turban Army.

The Yellow Turban Army is being changed by Xu An bit by bit, and the changed Yellow Turban Army also affects Taiping Road.

The affected Taipingdao is now slowly changing the thinking of the people in Taipingdao and changing the inherent concepts of this era.

"Actually, the decision I made this time was not a helpless act forced by Yuan Shao."

Xu An glanced at Xu You, who looked a little embarrassed, and said.

"The situation was not clear at first, but this time Tian Feng came, it made me see the current situation clearly."

Xu An raised his hand, pointed to the seat next to him, and signaled Jia Xu and Xu You to sit down.

Jia Xu looked as usual, saluted, and sat down respectfully.

Xu You's face was embarrassing, with expressions of joy and anger, but he did not disobey Xu An's order. He raised his hand and saluted quickly, shook his robe, and sat on the mat.

"I didn't know much about the situation in the Central Plains, but this time Tian Feng made me understand the situation in the Central Plains."

"Now I am Taiping Dao, Yuan Shao, Dongting..."

Xu An paused and corrected.

"It's wrong to call the Eastern Court now. The Western Emperor Liu Bian may abdicate soon. The situation where the two emperors stand side by side disappears. The Eastern Court should be changed to the Southern Court. Yuan Shao lives in the north. After four generations and three princes, he can be called the North Gate. .”

Xu An spread out the geomancy map on the desk, pressed it with a ruler, and then pointed at the geomancy map with his finger, signaling Xu You and Jia Xu to watch it.

"Now I am Taiping Dao, and the Southern Court and the Northern Army are three-legged."

Xu An's hand pointed to Guanzhong, Jizhou, and Yuzhou in turn.

This map was drawn by Eagle Wolf Guard according to the latest situation.

The entire map is divided into five colors.

The five colors are: yellow, blue, red, black, and green.

Yellow represents the Yellow Turban Army and Taiping Road, occupying Bingzhou, Liangzhou, Guanzhong and other places, crossing continents and counties, and occupying the northwest of Shenzhou.

The black is Gongsundu in Liaodong. Gongsundu occupied Liaodong County, Xuantu County and other places, and also conquered Fuyu, Goguryeo and other countries. The territory is vast, and the entire northeast of China is occupied by Gongsundu's black.

Green is Shi Xie from Jiaozhou and Liu Yan from Yizhou. The two are independent and do not communicate with the outside world.

The red color represents Chendu in the South Court, occupying the five prefectures of Henan, Yan, Xu, Yang, and Jing, showing its sharpness.

Cyan represents Yuan Shao, who is entrenched in the four prefectures of Jizhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Youzhou. Although it occupies a fertile land, the land it occupies is criss-crossed, wrapped in yellow and black, and threatened by the red color in the south. Like the yolk of an egg, it is surrounded by white.

"The situation has changed drastically. Now Nanting is powerful and popular. Countless powerful families are betting on Nanting. After less than two months, Yuan Shao may not be able to hold on anymore. He sent Tian Feng to come here. Proves a point."

Xu You is not unintelligent. The reason why he did not hesitate to speak out before was because of his position and the strategy he proposed.

But as soon as Xu An brought it up, Xu You noticed something was wrong.

"You mean, the Eagle Wolf Guard's investigation information was wrong, and Yuan Shao not only lost the battle in Dongjun, but also lost quickly if there is no external force to intervene?"

"good."

Xu An nodded, and the battle of Dongjun was all eyes on the world.

The flames of the Battle of Dongjun were far more than just ignited on the camps and fertile fields of Dongjun. It was also ignited in the shadows of the city and among the rice paddies gathered in the villages.

Yuan Shao's "Demon" and Nan Ting's Embroidered Emissary had already fought each other, and the Eagle Wolf Guards had very limited information.

"Gongsundu, Jiaozhou, and Yizhou are relatively independent, and the world is actually a tripartite confrontation."

"If Yuan Shao is defeated quickly, the mighty Southern Army will be a formidable opponent."

Xu An looked at Xu You solemnly.

"You have been in charge of the Department of Internal Affairs for a while, you should know the situation in my Peaceful Path..."

Xu An's eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice.

"We're not ready yet, we're not ready to face the South Court, which is full of morale."

Xu You's face was slightly condensed. He was in charge of the Department of Internal Affairs and was responsible for most of the government affairs in Taipingdao. He knew the situation of Taipingdao very well.

What Xu An said is indeed true...

"Nowadays, the world is divided into three parts, and our army occupies Guanzhong and other places. The number of people under our command is increasing day by day, and the combat power of the trilogy is gradually increasing. What we should do is to hide our strength and bide our time, to raise our troops hard, to build high walls, to accumulate food, and to be king slowly." .”

"The situation is changing rapidly, and the situation is no longer what it used to be. Therefore, in the battle of Dongjun, Yuan Shao cannot lose, and Nanting must not win."

Xu An's face was serious, and he spoke loudly.

　Thank you for your concern, I feel better, and the normal update will resume this month
