The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 687
The bones of the dead are exposed in the wild, there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, there is only one living person, and the thought of it breaks people's hearts
Chuping four years (193 years).

The Central Plains is in turmoil and immortality, all the people are weeping, and all families are covered with hemp.

However, the land of Yizhou is still full of singing and dancing, and the chaos in the Central Plains and the chaos in the world don't seem to have the slightest influence on it.

In the fourth year of Chuping, at the end of February.

Disputes in the Central Plains resumed, and Cao Cao, the governor of Yanzhou in the Han court, and Liu Bei, the general of the captives, led an attack to attack Jibei Kingdom and Taishan County controlled by Wei Ting.

Qingzhou's soldiers were weak and unable to resist, and even fell into the city. At the same time, Sun Ce, who was stationed in the north of Xuzhou, also responded to the imperial edict to attack Taishan County in the northwest, in response to the offensive of Cao Cao and Liu Bei's two armies.

Attacking from both sides, the three sides marched, and the guard of Taishan County hurriedly sent a messenger to ask for support.

Qingzhou Muyuan Tan knew that Taishan County and Jibei Kingdom must not be lost, Yuan Shao put him above Qingzhou Mu, but his performance could no longer be described as bad.

Because of the weak combat effectiveness of the Qingzhou soldiers, the Taishan Yellow Turban Army, which was already a turtle in the urn, successfully escaped from the encirclement and entered Yingzhou.

The northern part of Xuzhou, which was originally controlled, also lost most of it under the attack of the Han army, leaving only four cities still in hand.

If he loses Jibei Kingdom and Taishan County this time, then his position is really in jeopardy.

Yuan Shao ascended the throne as the emperor, called the emperor and established the system, and everyone was rewarded.

But the position of the prince is still undecided.

Yuan Tan received the news that Yuan Shao was very angry about his actions in Qingzhou, and his original plan to confer him the crown prince was postponed, as if he already had the intention of replacing him.

Yuan Shao had three sons, the eldest son Yuan Tan, the second son Yuan Xi, and the third son Yuan Shang.

After Yuan Shao unified Jiyou and Youzhou, he put his eldest son Yuan Tan in charge of Qingzhou, his second son Yuan Xi in charge of Youzhou, and his third son Yuan Shang stayed by his side.

Yuan Xi, as the governor of Youzhou, recruited new soldiers and trained soldiers. Wuhuan, the three counties, did not cause any rebellion, and he had a good relationship with Xianbei in the north.

And open border markets in Xianbei and Beidi to trade goods, the people's livelihood in Youzhou is healthy, and the military is strong.

Gongsun Zan has been trapped in Yizhong for a long time. At that time, during the war in Dongjun, Gongsun Zan wanted to take advantage of the war in the south to reoccupy Youzhou, but he was also defeated by Yuan Xi, and he retreated into Yijing again, strengthening his defenses again. No more comebacks.

But today's Qingzhou is already a mess.

At that time, Yuan Tan led the army to defeat Tian Kai, the governor of Qingzhou appointed by Gongsun Zan, and expelled Liu Bei, Prime Minister of Pingyuan, and finally occupied the entire Qingzhou.

The Yuan family has always been generous, and the public opinion in various places is not bad. When Yuan Tan was first appointed as the Qingzhou pastor to manage Qingzhou, the people all over the place thought that they could reduce some burdens, and the powerful family was quite happy. The attitude of the aristocratic family is not good, they come when they are called and go away when they are called.

However, after Yuan Tan entered Qingzhou, he was full of tricks.

First of all, the credit group is small, and it is easy to be close to words, wanting extravagance and lust, and not knowing the difficulties of farming.Hua Yan and Kong Shun are both treacherous and sycophants. They believe that they are confidantes, and they only use Wang Xiu and others to prepare officials.

Wang Xiu, as Qingzhou Biejia, led Qingzhou soldiers to help Zang Ba. Yuan Tan sent Hua Yan as a captain to accompany the army. Although Hua Yan was a captain, he actually didn't know much about military affairs.

The defeat of the Xuzhou East Route Army, at least [-]% of the responsibility should be attributed to Hua Yan.

When the two sides were evenly matched and fighting fiercely, Hua Yan was so timid that he led his troops to flee north.

This enabled Zhu Zhi to defeat Sun Guan and defeat Zang Ba's army.

Hua Yan was also convicted for this and was taken into prison in Qingzhou.

Let the wives and younger brothers lead the troops inside, to steal the grass, go out of the market wells, and plunder the fields. Don't let the two generals recruit soldiers to the county. Among them, send troops to hunt and hunt, like hunting birds and beasts.

There are tens of thousands of households in the city, and the registration is not enough to make a few hundred.

Recruit magi, not on it.

If you don't go to the military period, you can't be guilty of living in the clan party.

During Yuan Tan's several years as a shepherd in Qingzhou, he used improper personnel, plundered everywhere, and unfair rewards and punishments, which greatly lost the hearts of the people.

Rumors that Yuan Shao wanted to make Yuan Shang the crown prince had even begun to spread in Yecheng.

In this way, Jibei Kingdom and Taishan County must not give up.

Yuan Tan also knew what he did wrong. This time he almost showed his last hole card, and even went to the battle in person, leading the army to help Jibei Kingdom and Taishan County in person.

In the fourth year of Chuping (193), March [-]nd.

Yuan Tan ordered Qi's three armies and summoned a total of [-] soldiers.

This time, among the [-] soldiers, there are quite a few elite soldiers. These soldiers have fought under Yuan Tan's tent with the army led by Tian Kai, the governor of Qingzhou established by Gongsun Zan, and they have all seen it. The sword soldiers, who have been on the battlefield, are also the last elite and family property under Yuan Tan's command. Yuan Tan even asked [-] Jizhou soldiers to come to help.

When the army set out to march, Yuan Tan ordered Hua Yan, who had fled before the battle, to be beheaded.

Then [-] Qingzhou soldiers were divided into two groups.

Led by Wang Xiu, they entered the northern part of Xuzhou and reconciled with Zang Ba, and continued to march south with Zang Ba, intending to collect the lost land in Xuzhou and expel the side forces led by Sun Ce from Taishan County.

This time Yuan Tan did not send any cronies to follow him, but handed over the command of [-] Qingzhou soldiers to Wang Xiu.

The other route was led by Yuan Tan himself, with a total of [-] Qingzhou soldiers and [-] Jizhou soldiers, a total of [-] people, who rushed south to aid Jibei Kingdom and Taishan County.

Cao Cao heard that Yuan Tan led troops to the aid of the two counties, and knew that Liu Bei had only [-] Youzhou cavalry under his command and would not be able to stop him, so he led more than [-] Yanzhou soldiers under his command to the north to help Liu Bei.

March [-]th.

Wei Jun Chen Bing [-] people were stationed in Zhu'a City, Pingyuan County.

Twenty-six thousand Chen soldiers of the Han army were stationed twenty miles south of Zhu'a City.

Yanzhou Biejia Chengong and Yanzhou engaged in Manchong respectively led [-] troops and stationed in Taishan and Guishan in Taishan County.

Yuzhou sent [-] troops to capture Juping, a city in the northwest of Taishan County at the junction of Yuzhou and Lu.

The Wei army in Taishan County can get assistance from Qingzhou from the northeast, but the Jibei Kingdom is already surrounded by groups.

The guard general of the Wei army in Jibei country can only fortify the wall and clear the field, lead the remnant soldiers, stick to the city, and wait for rescue.

The war was about to break out, and the two sides continued to mobilize and increase their troops.

This time, the competition between Jibei Kingdom and Taishan County became the fuse of a new round of disputes.

Zang Ba received the support of [-] Qingzhou soldiers, regrouped and led his troops southward, intending to regain control of Langya Kingdom.

Zhu Zhi led Xuzhou soldiers all the way to the north and stationed at Yun[yùn] Pavilion in the west of Jiwu Mountain.

When Zang Ba was defeated, he retreated to the northeast of Xuzhou, leaving only four cities and one mountain, and this mountain was Jiwu Mountain.

Mount Jiwu lies across the northern central area of ​​Langya Kingdom. If you want to enter the right side from the left side in the northern part of Langya Kingdom, you must not bypass Mount Jiwu.

March [-]th.

Just when the battle of Zhu'a was about to break out, Zang Ba also led the army to the east of Yunting.

Zang Ba has [-] soldiers in Xuzhou and [-] soldiers in Qingzhou, for a total of [-] soldiers.

The main general of the Han army is Zhu Zhi, who has [-] Xuzhou soldiers and [-] Danyang soldiers under his command, although the difference between the two sides is [-].

But Zhu Zhi had more elites, and Sun Ce was attacking Gai County in Taishan County in Gonglai Mountain not far from Langya Kingdom, and he had [-] soldiers under his command.

So in the Yunting battle, Zhu Zhi actually had the upper hand.

It's just that the Han court had the upper hand in the battles in Xuzhou and Qingzhou, but the situation in Luoyang was dominated by the Wei court.

Yuan Shao, who had relieved most of his worries, was finally able to put [-]% of his energy on Han Ting.

With Baixing and Fukouxing in hand, the Yellow Turban Army retreated into Guanzhong and lay dormant, temporarily having no strength left to advance eastward. Now Yuan Shao's situation can be said to be the best ever.

Yuan Shao naturally would not let go of this excellent opportunity.

Yecheng was founded, and the officials were rewarded.

What happened in Luoyang, as well as the matter of obtaining the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, have been spread all over the world under the help of Qi Mei.

Although the Han court immediately issued an edict angrily denouncing Yuan Shaoxing's rebellious act, under the guise of destiny, he burned down the imperial temple of the Han family, and the jade seal was fake.

But some things don't really matter what the truth is.

What matters is whether anyone believes it.

The dragon chanting in Luoyang, the dragon chanting in Yecheng, and the Jade Seal of Chuanguo on display all proved to the world that Yuan Shao seemed to have really been ordered by the heavens and was favored by the destiny.

After Yuan Shao proclaimed himself emperor and established a system in Yecheng, he didn't first think of enjoying himself and making good fortune.

The outbreak of the battle between Xuzhou and Qingzhou made Yuan Shao feel threatened.

If Wei Ting wants to develop, the best period of development is undoubtedly now.

Occupying Luoyang is tantamount to taking the initiative, and Taipingdao retreated across the board, which also gave him a safe rear environment.

Yuan Shao once again mobilized the Youzhou army to go south, and at the same time summoned the county soldiers from the counties of Jizhou to go south in a large scale.

After the founding of the country, Ju Yi and Gao Lan were named generals who conquered the south and generals who conquered the east, respectively, because of their performance in the previous battle of Dongjun.

Yuan Shao sent two people to lead the army, and stationed troops at Liyang in Wei County and Huai County in Hanoi County to cross the river.

Afterwards, Yuan Shao dispatched the left general Han Meng to lead the army in Luoyang area to attack the Xuanmen Pass.

Of the eight passes in Luoyang, only Guangcheng Pass, Xuanmen Pass, and Hangu Pass are no longer in Yuan Shao's hands, and the other five passes are already occupied by Wei Jun.

Because of Xu An's backhand at the beginning, Yuan Shao acquired several of the passes at Yuan Shao, so the passage was also cut off, allowing the Wei army to ensure the safety of the Luoyang area, without much scruples to attack the revolving door pass.

Revolving Gate Pass is the eastern barrier of Luoyang and the western barrier of Yanzhou.

In order to stabilize Yanzhou, Hanting must not lose the revolving door.

Once the revolving door pass is lost, it will face the risk of being surrounded by the Wei army in Huai County and the revolving door pass. In addition, the Wei army stationed in Liyang will be even more difficult to resist.

Therefore, as soon as Sun Jian received the Wei army's change, he sent his troops to the Revolving Gate to guard against the two crossing points in Huai County and Liyang.

Just after a storm that affected tens of millions of people and hundreds of thousands of troops passed, a bigger storm came again...

……

Take a long time to cover up one's tears, and mourn the hardship of the people's livelihood.

The turmoil in the Central Plains seemed endless.

However, even though the turmoil in the Central Plains has lasted for nine years, Yizhou and Jiaozhou, two remote states and counties, are still full of laughter.

Yizhou, Mianzhu, this is the seat of Yizhou, the center of Yizhou, and the place where Mu Liuyan lived in Yizhou.

Liu Yan's residence occupies a very large area, and there are many tall buildings in the mansion.

To say it is a mansion can even be said to be an insult to this luxurious building. It is composed of palaces, tall buildings, mountains, rivers, flowers and plants, which is more like an emperor's palace.

The halls and pavilions are made of elegantly textured apricot wood, the rafters on the roof are pasted with gold leaf, there are golden patterns on the doors, jade decorations on the facade, and gilt copper paving heads, almost all of which are built according to the specifications of the imperial palace. .

In the halls and pavilions, the sound of silk and bamboo can be heard endlessly, and the melodious sound is constantly lingering around the beams.

Wearing palace attire and wearing a golden hairpin [zān], the dancer dances lightly in the center of the palace pavilion.

The drums were beating, and what was being played in the hall was "Ximen Xing" from Xianghe Song.

The dancers stand on the snare drum, dance lightly, and beat the drum skin with their feet, making a melodious and rhythmic drum sound.

In the halls and pavilions, pans and drums are placed on the ground as dance tools, and dancers dance on or around the pans and drums to encourage the pans.

The sound of music is like a clear spring.

Liu Yan squinted his eyes slightly, lying on the soft couch, enjoying the singing and dancing that was close at hand.

The drums are melodious and the music surrounds the beam.

Liu Yan's hand moved up and down slightly in accordance with the rhythm of the music.

When I was in Luoyang, I had to pay attention to everything and be on high alert. Not only was the emperor watching, but also many people came to govern him. How could I be as comfortable as I am now.

Thinking of Luoyang, Liu Yan felt even more correct for his original decision.

The matter of relocating the state herd made him successfully take over Yizhou.

Now the land of Yizhou has been completely occupied and controlled by him, and the powerful families in Yizhou have been reshuffled several times, and they have been roughly subdued by him.

Liu Yan sat up straight and picked up the wine glass on the desk.

The wine glass is made of white jade, and the outer wall of the wine glass has patterns carved by skilled craftsmen.

If someone is sitting in front of Liu Yan, they will definitely notice that the pattern on the wine glass is exactly the dragon pattern...

Liu Yan drank the fine wine in the jade cup in one gulp, and then casually threw it on the desk.

When an attendant at the side found out, he immediately crawled forward, held up the jade cup, and respectfully filled it up again.

Liu Yan's eyes moved unscrupulously on the dancer in the palace. The fine wine in his belly made his mind a little dizzy, but the passing consciousness was a little unconscious, which also ignited the evil fire in his heart.

Liu Yan picked up the jade cup that had just been filled with fine wine, stood up with the drunkenness, his eyes gleamed with desire, and staggered towards the dancing girl in the palace.

The sound of silk and bamboo stagnated slightly, but it soon rang out again.

With one step, Liu Yan walked into the dancers.

Twenty dancers are dancing in the hall and do not dare to stop dancing.

Liu Yan stood in the middle, and the dancers were still dancing around Liu Yan, but they were obviously a little stiff and nervous.

Liu Yan shuttled among the dancers, with the fragrant wind blowing towards her face, and her long sleeves fluttering.

The sound of silk and bamboo, and the sound of drum music penetrated into his mind, as if it really brought him into the fairyland.

Liu Yan closed his eyes, held his wine glass, and stood in the center of the dancers.

He saw a person.

I saw a man sitting high on a throne.

And that person's face was the same as his.

That man sits high on a throne, wears an emperor's crown, sits upright on the heavenly steps, and below the heavenly steps, all officials prostrate themselves, and all the people bow their heads...

"As constant as the moon, as rising as the sun. Like the longevity of Nanshan Mountain, it will neither grow nor collapse. Like the luxuriance of pines and cypresses, everything will be inherited..."

"tread----"

A burst of hurried footsteps came suddenly, breaking the sound of drums and music in the hall, and also dissipating all the scenes Liu Yan saw.

Liu Yan suddenly opened his eyes and looked forward.

In the hall, all the dancers bowed their heads and knelt down.

The person who came from the palace was a general in armor.

"What's the matter."

Liu Yan's eyes were cold, his voice was extremely cold, his mood was interrupted, no matter how good his temper was, Liu Yan was really angry at this time.

The body of the general who was watched by Liu Yan trembled slightly, and he could clearly feel Liu Yan's undisguised murderous aura.

But there was one thing he had to report to Liu Yan.

"Rebellions broke out in Guanghan County and Berkshire, and the moth bandits rebelled again. The bandit chief Zhao Yi gathered more than [-] bandits and marched into Jiangzhou, the seat of Berkshire..."
