The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 667 Taishan Yellow Turban
Qingzhou, Pingyuan Country, and Luoyin City.

The camp of the Taishan Yellow Turban Army was located in the south of Luoyin City.

The Taishan Yellow Turban Army has a total of [-] people, including [-] soldiers, and about [-] old and weak women and children.

But in fact, there are actually tens of thousands of soldiers with real battle experience, and there are even fewer armored troops. Only seven or eight thousand people have simple armor and leather armor. This is thanks to Mount Tai. The military equipment in the arsenal of the county and Jibei Kingdom.

Not all of the [-] people are in the south of Luoyin City, and some of them are still in the north of Zhu'a City. Zhu'a City is just south of Luoyin City. When the Yellow Turbans camped on Mount Tai, the distance was intentionally shortened, but the camp still stretched Ten miles away.

In fact, there is not one Yellow Turban barracks in the south of Luoyin City, but dozens of them.

The composition of the Taishan Yellow Turban Army is complex, and the military and civilians are mixed. Naturally, it is impossible for all the troops to be in one camp or several camps like a general army.

Looking down from the sky, the fortresses of the Yellow Turban Army on Mount Tai are dotted around the south of Luoyin City and the north of Zhu'a City.

Although Lu Sheng was not born in a major in the Taipingdao Military Academy, nor was he from a powerful family, he was just an ordinary farmer before the uprising.

Although Lu Sheng's family background is poor, under such circumstances, he has grown quite tall, which can be called Kongwuli, so he has a certain reputation among Tingju.

Afterwards, the Yellow Turban was revived, wars broke out everywhere, and people gathered to respond. Lu Sheng was elected as the leader by everyone.

Then the Yellow Turban army moved north, and Lu Sheng also led the team to join the Yellow Turban army.

Then in the successive battles, Lu Sheng was wounded several times and was seriously injured. The pursuit and interception of the Han army did not stop.

Once the cavalry of the Han army attacked the Yellow Turban Army camp in Sizhou at night, chaos broke out in the camp of the Yellow Turban Army, and Lu Sheng also lost contact with the large army because of this chaos.

Dragging his seriously injured body, Lu Sheng led the only surviving trilogy under his command to trek all the way.

After many lives and deaths, the soldiers under his command died and scattered, but Lu Sheng survived after all, successfully surviving from the battlefield like a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

Lu Sheng was tossed and turned all the way, but in the end he still couldn't keep up with the large troops of the Yellow Turban Army in the four states, and was helplessly stranded in Taishan County.

Later, more and more stragglers of the Yellow Turban Army gathered under Lu Sheng's command. Lu Sheng led the Yellow Turban Army to fight between the mountains and forests.

Lu Sheng may be born as a general, he can always catch those fleeting opportunities and perceive details that ordinary people cannot perceive.

Before he knew it, there were tens of thousands of followers under Lu Sheng's command.

Taking advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains, Lu Sheng seized the opportunity and led his troops out of the mountains in one fell swoop, breaking through several cities in Taishan County, and then occupied the entire Taishan County in one fell swoop.

As a result, the Yellow Turban of Mount Tai had a great reputation and high morale, and then Lu Sheng seized the opportunity to lead troops out of Mount Tai to attack the Jibei Kingdom, and even defeated the Yanzhou coalition forces, almost shooting and killing Chen Qun, the governor of Yanzhou at that time.

Lu Sheng was also famous because of the First World War in Jibei Kingdom. At that time, Yanzhou officers and soldiers retreated when they heard Lu Sheng's name, and did not dare to fight him.

However, the momentum of the Taishan Yellow Turban Army reached its peak at this time, and then began to decline slowly.

Cao Cao was ordered in danger. After taking over the governor of Yanzhou, he recruited famous people, recruited generals and schools, and took out his belongings. He joined forces with powerful families in Yanzhou to recruit soldiers and obtained a large number of soldiers and military equipment.

As a result, the Taishan Yellow Turban Army's offensive was frustrated one after another. In the end, they could only turn from offensive to defensive, and their momentum gradually weakened.

Taishan County and Jibei Kingdom were in the battlegrounds of the Fourth World War. If there were no passes, and the main enemy of the Han army was Yuan Shao in the north, and other parties were holding back the troops of the Southern Court, they would have already been defeated and perished.

For such a predicament, Lu Sheng was actually very clear in his heart, like a mirror.

It's just that in such a world, begging for mercy is rare.

Kneeling is death, standing is also death.

Since they are all dead, why not die vigorously.

Even death can't make those high-ranking and powerful families and those self-righteous nobles get what they want.

Lu Sheng never gave up, no matter how difficult the situation was, he never gave up.

"salute!"

The salute interrupted Lu Sheng's thoughts.

On the outside of the tent, the soldiers guarding the tent all held their heads high, held a knife in their left hand, raised their right hand horizontally, hung their fists in front of their chests, and bowed solemnly to him.

Lu Sheng put his heels together and returned the salute with the same etiquette.

This military salute is said to be the etiquette of the Taiping Road in Bingzhou, and it was formulated by the great virtuous teacher Xu An himself.

The Taishan Yellow Turban Army and the headquarters of the Yellow Turban Army are not unconnected. Xu An and Gongsun Du have reached an agreement. In Yingzhou, the Yellow Turban Army has a station of the Eagle Wolf Guard.

In the Taishan Yellow Turban Army, the Eagle Wolf Guard also has a branch, and the leader is a Qianhu named Wang Zhen.

When the Yellow Turban came back in the fifth year of Zhongping (188), Wang Zhen was the chief officer of Qingzhou Eagle Wolf Guard, responsible for intelligence collection in Qingzhou area.

It was precisely the information collected by Wang Zhen that the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army went so smoothly when they started the uprising. They perfectly avoided the heavily defended places of the Qingzhou Han Army, and even captured the arsenals of several cities, which greatly strengthened the situation. The combat power of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army was greatly reduced.

Wang Zhen originally entered Bingzhou with the Yellow Turban Army of the Four States, but later news came from the Yellow Turban Army of Mount Tai that Qingzhou would restore the Eagle Wolf Guard.

So Wang Zhen took the initiative to ask for Ying and took over the responsibility of the Eagle Wolf Guard of the Yellow Turban Army of Mount Tai. With dozens of Tiqi of the Eagle Wolf Guard, he first passed through the grasslands in the north, and then took a boat all the way south in Liaodong County, and first arrived in Qingzhou Donglai County, which is the Yingzhou established by Gongsun Du, sneaked into Taishan County all the way, traveling thousands of miles all the way.

There is an exclusive school in the Eagle Wolf Guard, and when Wang Zhen was ordered to go to Taishan County to establish the Eagle Wolf Guard, he also studied at the Taiping Road Army Academy for more than three months, mastered some military knowledge, and Entered the lecture hall and listened to the lecture for a whole month.

Wang Zhen's task is not only to establish a guard post in Taishan County, but also to be a military instructor.

Xu An is very aware of the disadvantages of the peasant rebel army. Most of the leaders of the peasant rebel army do not have much education. They may have more knowledge than ordinary villagers, but they still have great limitations.

Therefore, all the eagle wolf guards sent by Xu An are personnel who have undergone militarized training and strategic training.

These eagle wolf guards joined the Yellow Turban Army of Taishan County not to investigate intelligence and monitor local affairs as ordinary eagle wolf guards did, but to enter the army as military instructors.

The addition of these eagle wolf guards also brought a new trend of thought and new etiquette to the Yellow Turban Army in Taishan County.

It was in this situation that the fist-clenching salute began to slowly spread to the entire army of the Taishan Yellow Turban Army.

In addition to etiquette, what is even bigger is the change in combat power.

Now the Taishan Yellow Turban Army has a total of [-] soldiers. It is said that the soldiers are actually young and strong men.

Chop wood into soldiers, lift poles into banners.

These Yellow Turban soldiers have the same combat power as the soldiers among the millions of Yellow Turban soldiers under Zhang Jiao and others.

If the battle goes well, their morale can be very high, but once the battle falls into headwinds, they may collapse in an instant.

The main reason why these soldiers were willing to move westward to Bingzhou with Lu Sheng was that it was really difficult to survive. It is not a hypocrisy that a tyrannical government is fiercer than a tiger.

Those who can really rely on are the [-] veterans who have been trained by Eagle Wolf Wei Tiqi.

Among the [-] old soldiers, [-] were equipped with armor and well-equipped weapons, known as the Taishan Camp.

Lu Sheng's complexion was a little ugly. After he saluted, he walked straight into the military tent.

The curtain was lifted, and Lu Sheng looked forward, and saw a group of generals of the Yellow Turban Army surrounded by a large Hu table in the tent.

On the Nahu table is a simple sand table made of sand and soil.

Although the sand table is simple, there are mountains, rivers, cities, towns and villages, as well as the fiery red flag representing Yuan Shaojun and the khaki flag representing the Yellow Turban Army.

When all the generals saw Lu Sheng coming in, they all stopped what they were doing and saluted Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng waved his hand, as if he had seen the ceremony, and then quickly walked to the side of the sand table. Without Lu Sheng speaking, the generals standing around the sand table gave way.

Lu Sheng walked up to the sand table and looked at the crude sand table with an ugly expression on his face.

They have been staying in the south of Luoyin City for more than half a month. They have given up Taishan County and Jibei Kingdom. According to the negotiated conditions, they have been stationed in this area, and they have been idle for long enough.

Logically speaking, two or three days ago, Yuan Shaojun would have cleared a way for them to go to Bingzhou.

Right now, time is running out bit by bit. Every time I ask Yuan Shaojun’s officials, although those officials have a good attitude, they always say that it is difficult to transport the grain and grass, and they need to wait a few days until the grain and grass arrive and the relocation of the surrounding areas of the official road is completed. The people can let him continue to cross the Yellow River north and move closer to Bingzhou.

Lu Sheng waited patiently for a few days, but as day after day passed, Lu Sheng also felt something bad in his heart.

Especially when he heard the news and found that the Qingzhou soldiers in Taishan County did not seem to have launched an attack on Yanzhou and Yuzhou, this made Lu Sheng even more suspicious. A few scouts went to investigate around.

It can be said that most of the scouts of the Taishan Yellow Turban Army have been trained by the instructors of the Eagle Wolf Guard. How scouts fight and how to collect intelligence is the clearest.

After experiencing several battles, the scouts in the Taishan Yellow Turban Army can already be called elite troops. They quickly got a clearer picture of the surrounding situation and made a sand table.

The sand table currently placed in the military tent is made of the Eagle Wolf Guard's cavalry.

"How's it going?"

The situation on the sand table is not optimistic. Yuan Shaojun seems to be mobilizing troops.

On the sand table, the khaki flags of the Yellow Turban Army are distributed in an oval shape.

And there are many red flags densely scattered around the oval, and each red flag represents a Yuan Shao army.

Yuan Shaojun was approaching their position and surrounded them in the center.

Lu Sheng's first reaction was that Yuan Shao was about to break his promise, and there were some changes in the outside world that they didn't know about, so Lu Sheng immediately changed his order to quit smoking.

"Yuan Shao's army is currently confirming that it is increasing its troops, and two more Yuan Shao's troops came from the west and stationed on the south side of Gaotang City, with a scale of about [-] people."

Wang Zhen looked dignified, pointing to Yuan Shao's military flag to the west and said.

"I'm afraid there is something wrong with the alliance."

Lu Sheng knew very well that the most likely reason why Yuan Shao sang so much was that Yuan Shao had broken his promise and his alliance with them had already disintegrated.

The alliance between them was already very fragile, so Lu Sheng had always been on guard against Yuan Shao.

In the current situation, Yuan Shaojun has delayed for so long and even mobilized troops to come. This is not like a defense, but more like an encirclement and suppression.

"There are about [-] soldiers in the direction of Jizhou, and there are more than [-] soldiers from Qingzhou in the east and north."

Wang Zhen frowned and said in a deep voice.

"Although our army has a large number of people, we still have to divide our troops to protect women and children. The march is slow and there are not many cavalry. If we don't handle it well this time, I'm afraid..."

Wang Zhen didn't finish his words, but Lu Sheng already understood what Wang Zhen meant.

Lu Sheng's face was extremely solemn, now there is no precipitous pass in Taishan County, no advantageous terrain.

The south of Luoyin City is considered a wilderness, the terrain is not very undulating, and there is no danger to defend.

If Yuan Shao was caught between two breads and launched an attack suddenly, the hundreds of thousands of people under his command might have to confess to the wilderness.

"No, we can't just sit here and wait."

"If we continue like this, the enemy army will gather more and more, and I'm afraid there will be no more chances."

Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes flickering.

Wang Zhen said in a deep voice: "Taishan County can't go back now. We have handed over all the passes. There are [-] Qingzhou soldiers in Taishan County to the south. Many troops surrounded the south of Luoyin city."

"Then, our only way out now..."

Lu Sheng's gaze shifted to the east, and the gazes of Wang Zhen and others followed Lu Sheng's gaze, and finally landed on Yingzhou, the easternmost part of Qingzhou.

"Wang Qianhu, is there a way to contact Yinglangwei Baihu Office in Yingzhou now?"

Lu Sheng raised his head and asked.

Wang Zhen pondered for a moment, and replied: "Yuan Jun has blocked most of the roads now, but our Eagle Wolf Guard has our own passage, but it takes a little longer. It is not a problem to spread the news to Yingzhou, but it takes more time than usual. Take about two more days."

"Immediately send a letter to the Yinglang Guards of Yingzhou. Now Qingzhou soldiers are gathered in the east of Taishan County and our army. The defense in the east is empty. Yingzhou soldiers are going west at this time, and they will not receive much resistance."

Lu Sheng straightened up, his eyes were cold.

"Order the whole army to prepare meals at the third watch tonight, and raise troops at the fourth watch!"

　Due to special circumstances today, I changed the order. This chapter was written today, and some of the rest of the saved manuscripts are not connected, so today only a large chapter is updated. I was going to write [-] words today, but I got up late due to a cold. It's hard.
