The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 719
"The Eagle Wolf Guard is visiting Linjiang and other places in the eastern part of Berkshire to examine the case. The public trial should end in late September. By then Linjiang will officially implement the plan to garrison land. The specific time should be late October. After making arrangements, you can return to Linjiang and leave Bodao City."

Xu An turned around and was about to leave the prison in Bodao City.

"Tomorrow, I will ask people to place your personal guards here together, there is no need to isolate them, and there is no need.

Gan Ning's eyes narrowed slightly, Xu An seemed to be really planning to let him go.

Now that things were up to now, there was no need for Xu An to lie to him again.

It's just Xu An's practice, he has never been done by anyone in the classics.

Distribute travel expenses and resettle them back to their hometowns?
Since ancient times, soldiers who have surrendered have either been killed, demoted to slaves, or used as pawns and cannon fodder.

But Xu An is willing to spend money to send him back to his hometown.

Gan Ning's expression was no longer as calm as before, but with some doubts.

After Xu An entered Yizhou, he swept through the six counties with a thunderbolt.

The final winner of the Battle of Chengdu was not the Dongzhou Army or the Yizhou Army, but the Yellow Turban Army.

Although Gan Ning was imprisoned, he also heard about the actions of the Yellow Turban Army outside.

Even though the Dongzhou soldiers had already surrendered, Xu An still beheaded the general of the Dongzhou soldiers, Liu Gui, for public display.

The Dongzhou general Pang Yi, who obeyed Liu Yan's military order, burned, killed and looted all the way from Zitong, and forced the strong men to go south, was even passed down to the first five counties to show everyone.

Even those Dongzhou people who robbed and killed caravans and robbed villagers in the hinterland of Yizhou were all convicted.

Those who commit the most heinous crimes and those who are full of public grievances will be executed in public.

Inferior people are sentenced to labor reform according to the crimes committed, ranging from a few years to dozens of years, and they are dispatched to mines and other places to use labor to offset the punishment.

To be honest, for Xu An's judgment and trial, most of Gan Ning's dissatisfaction with Dongzhou soldiers that has been accumulated in his heart has dissipated.

Although these things were just hearsay, after these things got out, just ask anyone to know the truth of the things, Xu An didn't need to lie here.

Xu An did not lie, and now many Yizhou troops have returned home.

Of the [-] Yizhou troops, Xu An only planned to keep one-fifth of them, and most of the rest of the troops were sent back to their hometowns to garrison the fields.

Through the public trial, with the cooperation of the Eagle Wolf Guard's Tiqi and the army, Taipingdao can nationalize a large amount of land.

These lands will be collected and handed over to the Ministry of Agriculture for unified distribution and resettlement of farming affairs.

Now the Ministry of Agricultural Affairs of Taiping Road is no longer as poor and empty as when Xu An first entered Bingzhou, with only dozens of civil servants.

In Liangzhou, Bingzhou, and Zhongzhou, the Ministry of Agriculture implemented the farming system among millions of people in the three prefectures, and it was still orderly. The animal husbandry in Liangzhou and Bingzhou was also managed by the Ministry of Agriculture, and there were no mistakes.

Xu An was able to lead the army under his command to carry out many large-scale battles, thanks to the Ministry of Agriculture and Political Affairs. It is precisely because of the implementation of the farming system that the Yellow Turban Army has enough food and grass to support frequent wars.

As for mines, forest farms, lakes, etc., it has been stated in the laws of Taipingdao that all these natural resources belonged to Taipingdao from the moment the Yellow Turban Army entered, and those powerful families have lost their ownership .

However, natural resources such as mines and forest farms are under the management of the Ministry of Industry, not the Ministry of Agriculture.

"I have a question I've been wanting to ask for a long time. I don't know if Marquis Jin can explain it to me."

Xu An stopped, and Gan Ning's voice came from behind him.

"what is the problem?"

Xu An turned around again, thought for a while and sat down again.

"Although I have prejudices against Liu Yan, Liu Yan is not a mediocre person who can become the governor of Yizhou and has been in power in Yizhou for many years. Zhang Lu, the prefect of Hanzhong, has long surrendered. Although Liu Yan didn't know, he has been Beware of Hanzhong, it is impossible not to leave defensive troops on Jinniu Road."

"Later when our army invaded Chengdu, some Dongzhou soldiers withdrew from Chengdu and fled north. If we calculate this way, we know that they don't know what happened in the north at all."

"If the Marquis of Jin really entered Yizhou from the Jinniu Road, then Dongzhou soldiers would definitely receive an early warning, and the terrain of the Jinniu Road is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Although the Marquis of Jin has a catapult, it is limited by the terrain and has little effect. Jin Niu said, even if Liu Yan only left a few thousand people, it would be enough to resist for more than half a month."

"Even if Dongzhou soldiers are useless, they can at least pass the situation to Mianzhu, but why do they seem to be completely ignorant of what happened in the north?"

For a long time, Gan Ning was most puzzled by how the Yellow Turban Army entered Yizhou and was able to go all the way south without disturbing the Dongzhou soldiers.

Although he didn't know the inside story, Gan Ning knew very well that the Yellow Turban Army definitely did not follow the Taurus Way.

There is absolutely no way to hide the Dongzhou soldiers by walking the Jinniu Road, and there is absolutely no way to reach the outside of Chengdu quietly.

In the battle of Chengdu, it was clear that the victory was in hand, but in the end it was a wedding dress for the Yellow Turban Army in vain.

Gan Ning never figured out how the Yellow Turban Army came here.

Is it really like what those people said, it was Xu An who used his immortal skills to transport the more than [-] Yellow Turbans directly across the mountains and down to the city of Chengdu?
However, this argument is simply untenable.

Gan Ning doesn't know whether there are immortals in this world, he dare not be sure, he knows very well that there is absolutely no such kind of fairy art in Taiping Dao, at least it is absolutely impossible for Xu An to know such kind of fairy art.

If Xu An really knows the magic of transporting troops, then these Yellow Turbans will definitely not appear in Yizhou, but directly appear in Chendu of Yuzhou or Yecheng in Jizhou, so that they can directly destroy Han Ting and Wei Ting. What are you doing in Yizhou?

If this kind of fairy art really existed, why didn't Zhang Jiao and the others use it back then?

Zhang Lu from Hanzhong claimed to be a celestial master, and he said that he had profound magical powers, but what has he done all these years?
Maybe there are immortal gods who can't hide from the world in that famous mountain and great river, but there is absolutely no immortal god in this world, at least not in Hanting, Weiting, or Taipingdao.

Qin Shihuang exhausted his whole life, but failed to find the elixir of immortality. The fairy gods in this world are simply illusory legends.

"I really didn't enter Yizhou from Jinniu Road."

Xu An thought for a moment, then spoke.

"You have lived in Yizhou for a long time, but have you ever heard of Yinping Road?"

Xu An didn't hide it, even if he told the world about the existence of Yinping Road, it didn't matter. After all, Liangzhou, Yizhou, and Guanzhong are all under his control now.

Whether it is Han Ting or Wei Ting who wants to attack Yizhou, there is no way to come by Yinping Road.

What's more, the terrain of Yinping Road is dangerous, as long as one or two lines of troops are left on the road to defend, even if tens of thousands of troops come, they can only look at the mountain and sigh.

At the beginning, Zhuge Liang set up two villages to defend Yinping Road, but it was a pity that it fell into disrepair for a long time. Ji Han dismissed all his troops because Yinping Road was so steep that it was not considered a road at all.

If Ji Han hadn't abolished the two villages in Yinping Road, even if Deng Ai had all-powerful abilities, it would be difficult to cross Motianling, let alone bring troops to Mianzhu and push all the way to Chengdu.

"Yin Ping Road?"

Gan Ning frowned slightly, he is from Yizhou, so he naturally knew where Yinping was, but he hadn't heard much about Yinping Road.

"It's Yinping Road rather than Yinpingxing. It's [-] miles from Motianling to the hinterland of Yizhou. It took two months to get out of Yinpingxing."

"Passing south along Jinggu Road, there is a small road towards Motianling. It is a small road that local medicine farmers and hunters walked out when they were collecting medicine and hunting."

Gan Ning's pupils shrank slightly, a little unbelievable.

"I have traveled around in the past. I have passed Jinggu Road, and I have also seen the terrain of Motianling Mountain. Motianling Mountain is high and dangerous. How can a mountain of thousands of feet be overcome? "

"If Colonel Gan wants to see it, I can send someone to take Captain Gan to see for ourselves the road we have traveled."

"The backside of Motian Ridge, that is, to the south is a deep valley. The medicine farmers and hunters used ropes to tie the big trees on the cliff and slipped into the valley."

Xu An's eyes dimmed, and he remembered the time when he was forced to cross Yinping.

"Wrap yourself in felt, push it down..."

"In Yinping Xing, there are [-] graves of my Yellow Turban Army."

Xu An looked a little sad. In order to cross Yinping Xing, he made countless preparations, but in the end, many soldiers remained on the marching road forever, staying in Yinping Road.

They couldn't do it even when they were buried in peace. The only thing they left was the nameplate with their names and identities engraved on them.

Most of those soldiers came from Taihang Mountain and Bingzhou, and they followed his banner all the time. Xu An even remembered the names of many of them.

But wars have always been extremely cruel. Wars cannot be without bloodshed, and it is impossible to be without casualties.

"There is only a way to come, but no way back. We can only move forward with all our might, and we will sink our boats."

"After crossing Yinping, attack Mianzhu from Fucheng on Zuodan Road. The Eagle Wolf Guards had already infiltrated Yizhou for a long time, and some Eagle Wolf Guards intercepted and killed the messengers along the way. The Dongzhou soldiers who stayed behind had no idea that our army would suddenly approach the city and offer the city to surrender. , which is why we were able to reach outside of Chengdu quietly."

"Actually, a few days ago, we had already arrived outside the city of Chengdu. I didn't order the army to advance until you and the Dongzhou soldiers had decided the outcome."

The expression on Gan Ning's face was a little frozen.

No wonder they lost, the Yellow Turban Army actually entered Yizhou from a road that everyone thought was impossible, bypassing the Jinniu Road.

They didn't lose wrongly. They wrapped themselves in felt, pushed and turned down, and only with the felt wrapped around their bodies and a rope, they dared to slide from the cliff tens of feet high to the bottom of the valley, and climbed over Motianling.

High birds fly in the sky, and Lingyun swims together.

The mountain peak penetrates into the clouds and lives on the clouds, like a pillar of the sky, approaching the sky, hence the name "Motian".

The mountains are high and densely forested, with thorns and thorns, steep and steep, covered with clouds and fog.

Leading an army of [-] to cross Motianling and pass through Yinpingxing, which is [-] miles away, is simply impossible, but the Yellow Turban Army did it.

Gan Ning suddenly remembered something.

When they surrounded Chengdu, Xu An was already in the Yellow Turban Army.

Doesn't that mean that Xu An also relied on the rope, slid all the way to the bottom of the valley, and personally led the Yellow Turban soldiers all the way through Yinping for seven hundred miles.

Gan Ning's eyes flickered, and he suddenly understood why more than [-] Yellow Turban soldiers were able to walk out of the Yinping Road, toss and turn all the way, but still maintain a high morale, all because of this person sitting in front of him now.

If it wasn't for Xu An's identity, then Xu An would definitely be a master worth following.

Gan Ning shook his head in his heart, Ren Xian was indeed qualified in terms of strategy as a general, but he made the most wrong decision at the last critical moment.

Abandoning the tens of thousands of soldiers in the city and fleeing out of the city, after leaving the city, Ren Xian used their vanguard cavalry as bait to attract most of the firepower of the Yellow Turban Army, but he brought his own cavalry into the woods in the dark to escape quietly. However, he was captured and killed by the Yellow Turban Army who had already hidden in the forest. It can only be said that he was clever but was mistaken by cleverness.

Gan Ning looked at Xu An, and he remembered that he had read the records about Xu An.

Xu An is a disciple of Zhang Liang. It is said that he was just a soldier at first. When he was trapped and died outside the government office of Guangzong City, he led the remnant soldiers to rescue Zhang Liang.

Outside Guangzong city, Zhang Liang carried the coffin and fought fiercely with the intercepting Han army outside the city. Only then did he successfully go north and enter Xiaquyang.

If Xu An was the chief general of the Yizhou Army, then Xu An probably would not abandon the tens of thousands of Yizhou Army in the city.

It's a pity that Xu An was born in Taiping Road.

The interests of the Taipingdao and their aristocratic families are naturally in conflict.

Those aristocratic families in Liangbin, even the families of Yan Zhong and Jia Xu, handed over most of the land, and the mines and forest farms were also taken over by Taipingdao.

The texts of Xu An's several speeches have already spread all over the world, and Gan Ning has also read the content of Xu An's speeches.

"The voice of one person is like mosquitoes and flies, the voice of ten people is already full of voices, but the voice of a hundred people can pierce clouds and crack rocks."

"Although our generation does not have strong soldiers and great wealth, we have the people of the world!"

"The power of thousands of people can make rivers flow backwards, mountains can be flattened, and it is not difficult to change the world..."

……

Gan Ning was silent for a while, and asked again.

"The Yellow Turban Army in Yizhou also acted under your instruction. I'm not wrong."

Xu An nodded slightly. The purpose of the Yizhou Yellow Turban Army was to make the powerful families in Yizhou think they had found a chance.

The reason why the Yizhou Yellow Turban Army was willing to help was not because they wanted to get some forgiveness, but because of the strategy that Taipingdao had set early in the morning.

The purpose is to let the Yizhou Army and the Dongzhou Army fight against each other, and then reap the benefits.

The husband's wind is born on the ground, starting from the end of the green apple.

The wind is generated from the ground, and at the beginning it only whirls gently over the green apple grass, but in the end it can become a strong and sturdy gale.

Now Taiping Road is dominating Liang and Bing, and its power is shaking Monan.

According to the solidity of the Wei letter, it embraced the land of Yongzhou, collected Hanzhong in the south, entered Yizhou in the west, and obtained the land of Bashu.

Internal legislation, farming and weaving, and repairing the tools of war have become the trend of the powerful Qin sweeping the world in the past.

In the past, the Qin State was strong and stable, but the six countries outside the pass were suspicious of each other and restrained each other, so they were defeated by the Qin State one after another, destroying the country and seizing the land.

Now, although there are no six countries in the Central Plains, the struggle between the Han and Wei courts has reached a fever pitch, and the matter of Yizhou is simply beyond our reach.

The Yellow Turban Army captured Yizhou at this time, with more than [-] million people under its command, and it will become the force with the greatest potential for war. Moreover, the Yellow Turban Army is storing food in various places and building workshops to make war tools. This is all accumulating strength. , Gan Ning could see it.

Xu An has never thought of being in a corner.

Just like the strong Qin in the past, they all have the intention of sweeping the world, including the universe, encompassing the whole world, and annexing the eight wildernesses.

It is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow.

Now that the Yellow Turban Army lacks navy generals, if he joins the Yellow Turban Army at this time, he will definitely be able to do something, there is enough room for him to display his talents, and he can more or less protect his family.

Gan Ning had already read some of the laws of the Taipingdao sent by the guards in the cell, and the Taipingdao was not too harsh on the powerful families who were willing to belong.

The world is three points, although the situation is not completely clear.

But this short exchange with Xu An made Gan Ning finally make up his mind and cleared away all the hesitation in his heart.

He remembered a sentence he saw on the bamboo slips.

That sentence was what Xu An once said when he was in Jinyang City.

The revolution of heaven and earth and the formation of four seasons, the revolution of Tang and Wu, follow the sky and respond to people.

Today, we are all wrapped up in yellow scarves and gathered together. We are determined to revolutionize the destiny in the world. The Han Dynasty is exhausted, and Huangtian will definitely replace it!
After a long silence, Gan Ning slowly stood up.

He took a step forward, took a breath, bowed his body slightly, lowered his head that had never been lowered, bowed his hands and saluted Xu An solemnly.

"If the Marquis of Jin promises to protect my Linjiang Gan family, the punishment will be reduced."

"Ning, I would like to build and train naval forces for the Marquis of Jin, so as to attack the strong and destroy the sharp."
