The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 652
The scouts in the Luoyang area have already indicated that the Yellow Turban Army sent troops to Luoyang this time with more than [-] cavalry.

Moreover, these [-] infantry are basically the elite of the Yellow Turban Army.

Among the [-] cavalry, there are famous cavalry troops in the Yellow Turban Army: Xiaoqi, Wuxiang, Bingzhou, and Shanggu. In addition to these four battalions, there is also a new battalion that Xu An chose Liangzhou Jianyong to set up after defeating Liangzhou—— Xiliang.

The cavalry of the fifth battalion are all elite cavalry.

Unknowingly, the Yellow Turban Army has changed from a synonym for weak combat power to a role model for the world's soldiers.

They are equipped with excellent weapons, have high morale, and have strong organizational skills. It seems that they have never experienced defeat since they came out of the Taihang Mountains.

It is even said that there are teachers in the Yellow Turban Army who teach them to read and write...

Although the information was delivered by their spies hidden in the Yellow Turban Army, the news is really unbelievable.

If it was the previous [-] Yellow Turban Army, it would be more than enough to dispatch [-] Han troops to destroy them.

I don't know when, the number of the Han army must be equal to that of the Yellow Turban army in order to ensure undefeated.

And facing the Yellow Turban Army who is now in full swing, it is even more unbearable.

For some reason, even if Huangfusong led the troops himself, Xun Yu felt that without the Han army of more than [-], it would be impossible to stop the advance of the Yellow Turban Army.

Xun Yu felt a chill in his heart, and he pressed the silk book on the desk with his hand.

Luoyang Palace was changed, Dong Zhuo was in chaos, and the two emperors stood side by side...

A series of turmoil in the central government, the disintegration of the dignity of the Han Dynasty, gradually caused the world to gradually fall apart...

Liu Yan from Yizhou, Shi Xie from Jiaozhou, Yuan Shao from Jizhou, Gongsun Zan from Youzhou, and others were all speculators. They saw the decline of the Han Dynasty, and secretly had a heart of disobedience.

Liangzhou has been out of control very early, and Bingzhou has actually become an isolated island since Xu An of Taiping Road captured the northern part of Hedong County, and was finally occupied by Xu An, completely breaking away from the center.

Since then, the barrier in the northwest of the Han Empire has completely fallen, and Guanzhong has been stolen by Dong Zhuo.

After going through all kinds of difficulties, they finally managed to resolve their internal disputes. Only then did Xun Yu find out.

The once huge Han Empire has already been riddled with holes, and it is already dilapidated.

The once thirteen prefectures are now still under the control of the Chen Du court, leaving only the five prefectures, Yu, Yan, Xu, Yang, and Jing.

In these five states, there is still unrest.

Those powerful families have their own ghosts, the sect forces hide in the mountains and forests, and the rebels roam the countryside.

Internal and external troubles are like standing on a cliff, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss.

Xun Yu's eyes were slightly cold. All along, not many of them paid much attention to Xu An who was entrenched in Bingzhou.

Until October of the fifth year of Zhongping (189), during the Battle of Zhangshui in Jizhou, Lu Zhi personally led the main force of the Xiyuan Forbidden Army to attack the Bingzhou Yellow Turban Army led by Xu An in Zhangshui.

The two sides clashed on the north bank of the tributary of Zhangshui in an upright battle. The Han army suffered the worst defeat against the Yellow Turban Army in Zhangshui since Guanghe seven years ago.

More than half of the Xiyuan Forbidden Army led by Lu Zhi suffered casualties, tens of thousands were killed or injured by the Han Army under his command, and the Xiangyong who assisted in the battle suffered heavy losses.

During the Battle of Zhangshui, among the villages and cities of the six counties in the west of Jizhou, there were almost always white cloth strips between the entrances.

The Han army was defeated across the board, so Lu Zhi had no choice but to lead the elite to cross the south first, and there was no way to control the Xiangyong who assisted in the battle.

Due to the lack of pontoon bridges and boats for swimming, far more people died from drowning than from the Yellow Turban soldiers.

The Battle of Zhangshui was like a loud slap in the face of Han Ting.

It wasn't until this time that everyone realized that the Taiping Road entrenched in Bingzhou was developing rapidly. They had changed from insignificant thieves to a serious threat entrenched in the northern border of the Han Empire.

And just when everyone's eyes were attracted by the Yellow Turban Army, Dong Zhuo entered the capital, which once again disturbed the world.

Then the Central Plains was turbulent, and the heroes separated.

The Kwantung Allied Forces had their own ghosts and different ideas, so they stood still and waited for changes. After Cao Cao's defeat in Xingyang, none of the princes sent troops westward.

At the last moment, it was Sun Jian who stood up and attacked Dong Zhuo in the north. The battle of Taigu Pass became famous all over the world.

But just when the country is recovering and growing stronger.

Just when they were about to wipe out the rebellion and the hope of revitalizing the Han Dynasty was just around the corner...

As long as Yuan Shao who is entrenched in Jiyou is defeated, all rebels, all Xiaoxiao, and all those who have the heart of disobedience will have to restrain their evil intentions.

Whether it is Liu Yan in Yizhou, Shi Xie in Jiaozhou, or Gongsundu in Liaodong, they will all have to choose to surrender and return to the control of the Han court.

The rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty is clearly just around the corner...

Xun Yu's eyes were sad. He tried his best, racked his brains, plotted and calculated in every possible way, but in the end he missed the move.

Xu An was born at this time, and Liangzhou was settled in just one year.

Dong Zhuo, who occupied Guanzhong, attacked Xu An when the Battle of Dongjun broke out, and everyone in the Chendu court was a little happy.

Because Dong Zhuo and Xu An fought against each other, Dong Zhuo had no extra energy to help Yuan Shao, and they were able to fight Yuan Shao with all their strength.

It's just that Dong Zhuo's forces collapsed in just ten months, and tens of thousands of troops defeated Huayin.

The terrifying fighting power of the Yellow Turban Army attracted the attention of the whole world.

Xun Yu knew the strength of Han Sui, Ma Teng and Dong Zhuo in Liangzhou.

He had personally been to the front line, seen the majesty and bravery of Xiliang cavalry.

He didn't think that the Xiliang army was too weak, but that Han Sui, Ma Teng and Dong Zhuo were too useless.

Xun Yu knew very well that the Yellow Turban Army under Xu An's command could definitely be called a strong army.

The names of the yellow angels, the trapped camp, the military pawns, sharp warriors, and the Sixth Battalion of the Cavalry, one after another, are engraved in the hearts of the people of the world through one victory after another.

Be ordered to be upright, follow the destiny...

"wrong……"

Xun Yu squinted his eyes, he looked at the map on the desk, and a thought flashed through his mind like lightning.

"wrong!"

Xun Yu suddenly stood up and raised his voice again.

Xun Yu's actions surprised everyone in the hall.

Liu Chong's complexion also changed, it was the first time he saw Xun Yu lose his composure.

You must know that Xun Yu has always been a gentle and refined image in front of everyone, and he can be calm no matter what he encounters.

Mount Tai collapsed in the front without changing its color, and the elk flourished in the left without blinking.

"We were wrong!"

Xun Yu raised his head to look at Liu Xie, his eyes were bright and frighteningly bright.

Liu Xie also happened to look at Xun Yu, and Xun Yu and Liu Xie happened to meet each other's eyes.

This pair of eyes also made Xun Yu wake up from his excitement.

"Your Majesty was so excited that it was hard to stop, please forgive me."

Xun Yu's face showed embarrassment, and he immediately reacted. He quickly bowed his head and saluted, apologizing to Liu Xie who was sitting at the head in fear.

"It's okay, Xun Sima is worried about state affairs, it's understandable,"

Seeing Xun Yu's smile, Liu Xie didn't say anything about the crime of disrespect, but asked about things he cared more about.

"But looking at Xun Sima's happy face, he must have a plan to get out of the siege?"

Liu Chong is now considered half of Liu Xie's teacher, and Liu Chong is responsible for most of the government affairs.

Liu Chong's time in the palace was not short every day. As the Sima of the General's Mansion, Xun Yu naturally followed behind Liu Chong. In fact, Xun Yu could be regarded as a close minister of the emperor.

Xun Yu just stood up, a little excited for a while, there is no way Liu Xie can punish Xun Yu's crime.

In the laws of the Han Dynasty, there is no saying that "looking up at the king intends to assassinate the king".

"And what did Xun Sima mean when he said 'we thought wrong' just now?"

The two questions Liu Xie raised were exactly the questions that Liu Chong, Wang Lang and others in the palace also wanted to ask.

In the hall, everyone's eyes were focused on Xun Yu.

At this time, Xun Yu had regained his former calmness and demeanor.

After thanking Liu Xie again for not pursuing the crime of the emperor's misconduct, Xun Yu sat down and slowly unfolded the map on the case table.

At this time, Xun Yu's sorrow disappeared, and he seemed to have a plan in mind.

"The reason why I say 'we were wrong' is because what we have always thought is that now that Yanzhou is surrounded on three sides, Yuan Shao and Xu An will march from the east, west and north at the same time."

"but."

Xun Yu changed the topic, his eyes brightened.

"But all of this is based on the premise that Xu An and Yuan Shao are working together."

"You guys think that Xu An and Yuan Shao are really of one mind?"

Kuai Yue's face changed slightly, and he understood the meaning of Xun Yu's words in just a moment.

Wang Lang's eyes moved, and he also wanted to understand the meaning of Xun Yu's words.

"really."

Kuai Yue couldn't bear to hand out the case, and his voice became high.

"Xu An is a moth thief. He has long had the heart to steal the world, and Yuan Shao, who looks like a bear and a tiger and sounds like a jackal, also has a heart of rebellion. The two have different thoughts, and it is impossible to work together with one heart."

"What brother Yidu said is very true."

Xun Yu smiled lightly and said calmly.

"Xu An and Yuan Shao look like each other, but they have different minds. Xu An occupies the eight gates and can send troops to invade Jizhou at any time, and also associate with Shanggu Wuhuan."

"Yuan Shao occupies the You and Ji prefectures, and the Eight Xings of the Taihang were acquired by Xu An, so he must have restless sleep and food, and he has the intention of being wary of Xu An."

"This time the two joined hands, it should be a short-term plan to exchange interests."

Kuai Yue rolled his eyes slightly, suddenly looked up at Xun Yu, and said.

"Tarzan Yellow Turban!"

"good."

Xun Yu smiled and looked at Kuai Yue.

"It's the Taishan Yellow Turban."

Wang Lang frowned slightly, and continued talking.

"Could it be that Yuan Shao and Xu An agreed that Yuan Shao allowed Taishan Yellow Turbans to go to Bingzhou, in exchange for Taishan Yellow Turbans to give up Taishan County and Jibei Kingdom, and let Qingzhou soldiers settle in."

"Xu An sent troops to Luoyang, Zhou Ang withdrew from Henan, and even Hanoi County gave up to Mothie. Is this a deal?"

"Not bad!"

Xun Yu's tone was firm, and he said in a deep voice.

"We don't need to worry about Xu An!"

Xun Yu's eyes were firm, and he looked at Liu Chong who was sitting on the right side of the palace.

"Twenty thousand soldiers are enough."

"We don't need to mobilize heavy troops to defend Luoyang Eight Passes. We only need to face the Qingzhou soldiers from Jibei Kingdom and Taishan County."

"Yanzhou doesn't need to give up, Xu An will never leave Luoyang!"

Wang Lang frowned, Xun Yu's tone was firm, but he was a little uneasy.

"Is Xun Sima a little too optimistic?"

"It is true that Xu An and Yuan Shao are far apart in appearance, but if the army does not fortify and abandons the eight passes, if Xu An does not stop marching but continues to attack, then we are not in a desperate situation?"

Xun Yu shook his head lightly, speaking resolutely, and said firmly.

"Xu An has occupied Luoyang, and the next plan is definitely to occupy the eight passes, and there is absolutely no possibility of marching again."

Wang Lang's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice.

"How can Xun Sima be so sure?"

"If our army transfers battle-ready soldiers to the eastern front, and Xu An sends troops at this time, why would Chen Du have troops to defend?"

"Xun Sima's move is to put His Majesty in danger!?"

"Do not……"

Kuai Yue raised his hand with a solemn expression, interrupting Wang Lang's words.

"Wen Ruo is right, there is absolutely no way for Xu An to go out of eight passes."

Wang Lang stopped talking, seeing that Kuai Yue was so determined, he couldn't help but muttered in his heart.

Kuai Yue and Xun Yu looked at each other, and Xun Yu showed a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

"In the past, He Boqiu praised Wen Ruo as 'the talent of Wang Zuo', and he was right."

Kuai Yue didn't give in again.

"When two tigers fight for each other, the smaller one will die, and the bigger one will be injured."

"Now that we are fighting Yuan Shao, we are like two tigers, and the Yellow Turban army is just like the Orion in the story, just waiting for our army and Yuan Shao's strength to be exhausted, to reap the benefits."

"Xu An's heart is clearly revealed, and he has never hidden his heart to steal the world."

"The inscription of the Eagle Wolf Guard is 'Monitoring the world and inspecting China'."

"Change Jing Zhaoyin to Yingtian County, change Sili Xiaowei Department to Zhongzhou, cast Bingzhou, Liangzhou, and Zhongzhou three tripods, and falsely claim to collect the world's thirteen tripods."

"Responsive to the heavens, to the heavens, to obey the orders and to be righteous, to obey the orders of the heavens, is to respond to the heavens."

"Xu An doesn't want to see our army defeat Yuan Shao, and he certainly doesn't want to see Yuan Shao defeat our army."

There was a flash of light in Kuai Yue's eyes.

"What Xu An wants to see is a chaotic Central Plains, a Central Plains full of disputes."

"Now that Xu An has just occupied Guanzhong, the golden city in Guanzhong is thousands of miles away and has a large population. However, after being exploited by Dong Zhuo, this is the time when the people need to rest. According to Xu An's previous behavior, Xu An will never use weapons again. The offensive is just harassment, so we can stick to the western front with a small number of troops."

"Luoyang is located in the mountains, surrounded by eight passes, and can be defended according to the passes, but once the troops leave the eight passes, no matter whether it is Yanzhou, Yuzhou or Jingzhou, they are all plains of thousands of miles, and there is no danger to defend."

Kuai Yue clenched his fists, his eyes flickered.

"Xu An captured Luoyang and occupied the eight passes to defend himself in order to gain the greatest benefit! It is impossible to attack with all the main force in order to cooperate with Yuan Shao. What we have to face will never be the elite of [-] moth thieves."

"Unless Xu An is a fool, a fool who is willing to give the world to Yuan Shao just like that."

Kuai Yue smiled calmly, looked at Wang Lang, and questioned.

"However, if Xu An is really a fool, how can he occupy the land of the three states and develop quietly at the border when the Central Plains is in turmoil?"
