The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 666
"Let one attack the other, make them kill each other..."

Xu An's eyes flickered, and the way he looked at Jia Xu couldn't help but also changed.

"Wenhe is also a great talent!"

Able to turn a crisis into an opportunity, Jia Xu's strategy is enough to turn the Yellow Turban Army from danger to safety.

"Since Wenhe already has a strategy in mind, then I will entrust you with all the Tiger Talismans of the five battalions of Xiaoqi, Wuxiang, Bingzhou, Shanggu, and Xiliang."

Xu An looked serious, and took out Wuying's Tiger Talisman from his bosom.

Five bright golden tiger charms engraved with dense scriptures appeared in front of Jia Xu.

Jia Xu looked dignified, bowed his head slightly, bowed his back slightly, and respectfully took the Tiger Talisman of the Fifth Battalion Cavalry from Xu An's hand.

In the Yellow Turban Army, except for Xu An who can directly order the troops, the rest of the generals, including Yan Zhong, are not allowed to mobilize troops without a tiger talisman.

The military regulations of the Yellow Turban Army are strict, and all the parts are strictly followed by the rules and regulations.

"Duke Ming is very trustworthy. If you entrust me with any heavy responsibility, I will do my best to never let you down."

Jia Xu's face was serious, and he said solemnly.

After entering the Taiping Road for a long time, he finally waited for an opportunity, an opportunity to prove himself.

Jia Xu's heart is far from as calm as the expression on his face.

In the battle of Taiguguan, Dong Zhuo had no confidence at that time. He was no longer the Dong Zhongying who dared to charge forward, but became a person who was addicted to sensuality and could not extricate himself.

Jia Xu saw Dong Zhuo's weakness and Yan Zhong's close relationship. After weighing the pros and cons, he persuaded Zhang Yang, who had been grudges for many years, to lead Bingzhou to ride Beitou Taiping Road.

In fact, Jia Xu originally thought that if he joined the Taiping Dao as a scholar, he would definitely be excluded, so Xu An probably wouldn't trust him too much.

But unexpectedly, Xu An went south to Shangdang County to meet him in person.

Later, Xu An even entrusted him with an important task as a counselor.

Xu An valued it so much, but Jia Xu didn't expect it at all.

Jia Xu is very aware of his reputation, whether in Liangzhou, Sili or other places, he is not outstanding.

Zhang Yang is much higher than him in terms of fame and status, but relatively speaking, Xu An seems to be relatively calm towards Zhang Yang.

But these still make sense, after all, the relationship between Yan Zhong and Xu An is both a teacher and a friend, and Jia Xu himself can be regarded as half of Yan Zhong's disciple, so it is normal for Xu An to be close to him.

Then Xu An's series of actions made Jia Xu a little unexpected.

Liangzhou was stable, and Yan Zhong resigned as the commander of the central army and took up the post of Liangzhou pastor.

Jia Xu originally thought that it was absolutely impossible for him to take such an important position as the Commander of the Chinese Army. Most likely Yang Ji, Fu Qi and others of Yan Zhong's generation would be appointed, or Xu You would be appointed.

Xu You had joined Taipingdao much longer than him, and shortly after joining Taipingdao, he offered a plan to attack the military capital Xing, laying a solid foundation for the Yellow Turban Army to capture Shanggu County and Dai County in Youzhou.

Then, at great risk, he sneaked all the way from Jizhou, traveled nearly a thousand miles, and traveled all the way to Qingzhou, leading the four states of the Yellow Turban Army to march westward.

Xu You led the Yellow Turbans in the four states, broke through the Han army that was intercepted layer by layer, and finally joined forces with the main force of the Yellow Turbans led by Xu An in Anping State in Jizhou.

Then he defeated the Northern Army of Jizhou and subdued the two famous generals of Jizhou, Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

Xu You's reputation and contributions in the Taiping Dao are much higher than him, and he is undoubtedly the best candidate for the Chinese Army's command.

Then when the final order was issued from the Jinyang government office, everyone was a little unbelievable.

Xu An unexpectedly handed over the important post of Commander of the Chinese Army to Jia Xu, not Xu You.

There are rumors that on the day when the candidate was announced, Xu You, a member of the Department of Internal Affairs, broke a lot of things in succession.

Then he handed over the position of the mastermind of Taiping Dao to him.

Jia Xu didn't know why Xu An trusted him so much, it seemed that in Xu An's eyes, his abilities were much superior to others.

Xu An would come to ask his opinion on many issues.

Xu An's actions made Jia Xu feel trusted and valued.

Since becoming an official, he has been immersed in the files every day, and at the age of [-], he is still just a small subordinate official.

He was promoted to captain of Pingjin, barely reaching the rank of a high-ranking official, but because of Dong Zhuo's stealing the country, he was promoted together with all the generals of the Xiliang Army. How could anyone value him more.

For many years, there was only one person who valued him very much, and that person read all his articles.

In front of everyone, he pointed at him solemnly and said: "This son is good and flat!"

That person was Yan Zhong, and he always remembered Yan Zhong's demeanor and his words that day.

The reason why Jia Xu didn't see Yan Zhong again for a long time was not because he was busy with business or because the journey was far away.

It's just that he hasn't achieved success, hasn't achieved fame, and at the age of [-], but with a humble official position, he really has no face to see Yan Zhong who had placed high hopes on him in the past.

This time, apart from Yan Zhong, there was another person who valued him, and even treated him as the mastermind of one side.

"Minggong be at ease, if this plan is successful, it is still not enough."

Jia Xu saw that Xu An was going to let Xu Hong come in to convey the military order, so he took a step forward to stop him.

"If two tigers want to fight each other, the hunter needs to retreat far enough so that the two tigers don't feel threatened."

"so."

Jia Xu slowly moved the folding fan in his hand to the southwest.

Xu An's gaze also moved slowly along the folding fan in Jia Xu's hand.

"Yizhou?"

The place Jia Xu’s folding fan finally refers to is Yizhou, which is exactly the land of Bashu, where the road to Shu is more difficult than the blue sky in the poem.

Silkworm bushes and fish mallards, what a daze for the founding of the country!

Erlai is forty-eight thousand years old and does not communicate with Qin Sai.

In the land of Yizhou, there are so many mountains and high mountains. It is said that there are hundreds of thousands of mountains.

The land of Yizhou Bashu today is not the land of abundance and richness of later generations.

The land of Bashu in the Han Dynasty was absolutely dangerous, and there were rich places, but more of them were poor and remote areas.

There is even a so-called miasma in a considerable part of the area, with dense virgin forests and clouds blocking out the sun.

In this era of poor medical conditions, even a simple march in the land of Bashu is a test for an army. Often it is not the casualties on the battle that cause serious downsizing of the guest army, but various disease.

"That's right, it's Yizhou."

Jia Xu nodded slightly, and continued.

"If I remember correctly, Duke Ming had sent someone to contact Zhang Lu in Hanzhong before."

Xu An nodded. Not long after Liangzhou was pacified, he sent envoys to Hanzhong to contact Zhang Lu.

But this preacher, who is also a Taoist, directly refused the envoy of Taiping Dao to enter Hanzhong. The envoy sent by Xu An had just entered Hanzhong County, and was driven back by Zhang Lu's soldiers.

Although Taipingdao and Wudoumidao belong to the same Taoist sect, they are very different in terms of philosophy and gods, especially Taipingdao after Xu An's modification, and there is no way for Zhang Lu to accept it.

Hanzhong County was vulnerable and hard to attack. At that time, Xu An's mind was not in Hanzhong, but in the land of Guanzhong and Gongsundu in Youzhou, so he didn't care about Hanzhong's affairs. He just ensured that Zhang Lu in Hanzhong County would not attack Liang The state has nothing else to do.

Now that Jia Xu brought up the old story again, Xu An couldn't help being a little puzzled.

"Abolishing history and establishing animal husbandry was proposed by Liu Yan. Seeing that the world was about to be chaotic, Liu Yan offered the strategy of abolishing history and establishing animal husbandry. It is not difficult to guess what his intentions are."

Liu Yan invited the state shepherd himself, intending to be self-reliant. He originally asked for the post of state shepherd, but later the governor of Yizhou was frugal and greedy in Yizhou.Liu Yan, who originally wanted to lead Jiaozhou to avoid disaster, asked the imperial court to be the shepherd of Yizhou because Dong Fu said that Yizhou had the spirit of the emperor.

So he took Liu Yan as the envoy of the supervising army, the shepherd of Yizhou, and was granted the title of Marquis of Yangcheng, and ordered Liu Yanqi to go to Yizhou to arrest Xi Jian and rectify the administration of officials.

The imperial edict said: "Receive the law and practice it to show the surnames of all people. Don't let it be leaked, so that the carbuncle and gangrene will collapse, and it will be a stalk for the country!"

The road was difficult, and Liu Yan led the team just arrived at the eastern boundary of Jingzhou.

Xi Jian served as the governor of Yizhou. During his tenure, he imposed excessive taxes and extorted money, and the people were miserable.

Greedy and indiscriminate, greedy and indiscriminate, dull and boring, whistling and wild,
Ma Xiang and Zhao Zhi gathered thousands of tired people to start an uprising in Mianzhu. It is said that both of them were Taoists of the Taiping Way.

The army under his command is also dressed like the Yellow Turban Army, with yellow turbans on their heads. The elite are called Lishi, and the guards are called Yellow Angels.

After the uprising by Ma Xiang and Zhao Zhi, people from all over Yizhou gathered to respond.

Ma Xiang led the army to kill Mianzhu Ling first, then attacked Luo County, beheaded Xi Jian, the governor of Yizhou, and defeated Shu County, Qianwei County and other counties and cities.

Between ten and a month, the three counties were broken.

Ma Xiang then called himself "Son of Heaven", and there were more than [-] people. He sent troops to break Ba County, and killed Zhao Department, the county guard.

However, Ma Xiang, who had just proclaimed himself emperor for a few days, then encountered the army organized by Jia Longhui and the powerful family in Yizhou.

Ma Xiang was defeated and died on the battlefield. The hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban troops gathered under his command also collapsed, either died or fled.

Jia Long welcomed Liu Yan into Yizhou.

Liu Yan set the government in Mianzhu County. After taking office, he appointed Jia Long as the school lieutenant and moved him to live in Mianzhu.

After Liu Yan first settled in Yizhou, he was quite peaceful. He appeased and sheltered those who escaped and rebelled, and tried his best to implement the policy of tolerance and grace, but he always had other plans in his heart.

But as time went by, Liu Yan kept a low profile, his wings gradually plumped up, and finally he showed his sharp fangs, showing his weakness.

Under the chaos in the Central Plains, a large number of refugees from Nanyang and Sanfu entered Yizhou. Liu Yan collected them all and called them "Dongzhou soldiers" as his confidantes. .

Liu Yan wanted to set up a powerful punishment to show his self-esteem. First, he wrote a letter saying that the rice thief had broken his way and would not be able to get back together.

He also found an excuse to send troops to kill more than a dozen people including Wang Xian and Li Quan, the tyrants in the state, to establish a prestige and punishment.

This also made Yizhou native Hao Qiang and Liu Yan forged a grudge.

Soon, Liu Yan was counterattacked by the local powerful family in Yizhou.

Ren Qi, the prefect of Qianwei County, claimed to be a general, and sent troops to attack Liu Yan in Qianwei County.

Apart from Ren Qi, Jia Long also called up troops to rebel, but they were all violently suppressed by Liu Yan.

In the Central Plains, more people fled to Yizhou. Liu Yan gathered these people who fled to Yizhou as his confidantes, recruited soldiers, and restricted the powerful families in Yizhou.

"Liu Yan took Dongzhou soldiers as his direct descendants, and relied on the power of Dongzhou soldiers to suppress the powerful families in Yizhou. This is really a way to bring disaster."

"There are only tens of thousands of soldiers in Dongzhou. Their composition is complex and their hearts are different. They are far from the army under Duke Ming's command. Yizhou's tyrants are defeated in the past. They will definitely not stop like this, but will set off a bigger counterattack. "

Xu An's eyes twitched slightly. Based on the information obtained from Yizhou Yinglangwei, Jia Xu speculated that the powerful family in Yizhou would have a bigger counterattack, which is indeed correct.

However, Xu An is quite familiar with this period of Yizhou's history.

In the fifth year of Jian'an (200 years), Zhao Wei bribed local officials in Jingzhou with money and bribes to reduce external forces, and united with local powerful families in Yizhou and some powerful families in Jingzhou to gather troops.

Hearing that Zhao Wei raised an army, powerful and powerful families in Shu gathered to respond. Liu Yan had already died of illness at that time, and his son Liu Zhang was the new governor of Yizhou.

But in the end, the counterattack of the powerful family in Yizhou was suppressed again.

The "Dongzhou Soldiers" established by Liu Yan to take in refugees from Jingzhou and Sanfu heard rumors that Zhao Wei seemed to want to kill all the Dongzhou soldiers and Dongzhou soldiers, thinking that the Yizhou soldiers and civilians who died in the past had revenge .

Dongzhou soldiers were afraid of being punished, so they worked together and fought to the death. The Yijing coalition army was defeated by Dongzhou soldiers under the superiority of troops.

Zhao Wei led the remnant soldiers to throw away their helmets and armor all the way, and retreated into Jiangzhou. His subordinates Pang Le and Li Yi rebelled and killed him.

"In fact, after the army under Ma Xiang's command was defeated, they did not collapse, but scattered among the mountains."

Jia Xu smiled lightly and said with a smile.

The pupils in Xu An's eyes dilated slightly, a little surprised.

"Yizhou Eagle Wolf Guards have already contacted several powerful troops, with a total of more than [-] people. Most of the remnants of the Yizhou Yellow Turban Army are distributed in Guanghan and Berkshire."

Jia Xu raised his head, with a solemn expression, and said solemnly.

"Although Ma Xiang died, Zhao Yi survived by luck."

"Yizhou Eagle and Wolf Guard reported back, Zhao Zhi's original words: 'If a great virtuous and good teacher goes south, I would like to devote all the strength of Yizhou Yellow Turbans to help the success!""

"You can let the Yizhou Yellow Turbans pretend to unite with the Yizhou powerful family and incite the Yizhou powerful family."

"Yizhou Yellow Turban Army is attacking prefectures and counties in the north. If Liu Yan wants to put down the rebellion, he will definitely mobilize Dongzhou soldiers. At that time, the state government will inevitably be empty, and let Yizhou's powerful family counterattack at this time. How can the Yizhou powerful family not be moved? "

The folding fan in Jia Xu's hand finally landed on the top of Hanzhong County.

Xu An's eyes also stayed on Hanzhong County.

"In the end, the land of Yizhou will become the place where the powerful families of Yizhou and Dongzhou soldiers will fight."

"And our army took advantage of this opportunity to go south in a big way. After defeating Hanzhong, it went directly south, and the Yellow Turbans of Yizhou responded. Both internal and external, there was no time to look north during the civil strife in Yizhou..."

Jia Xu's eyes were cold, and he said coldly.

"The pass is broken, who in Yizhou can block our army's edge?"

"This plan is called..."

"Drive the tiger and swallow the wolf."
