The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 792
In the sky, the setting sun is gradually fading its light.

The blood-red sunset gradually disappeared from everyone's eyes, and the darkness was gradually engulfing the earth.

The old day is about to fall, and the new day is about to rise.

But darkness will hang over the world until dawn.

Above the sky, the stars and the moon are dimmed.

Xu An's eyes gradually blurred, and he could hardly see the scene in the encirclement clearly.

At this moment, a ball of flame first appeared in front of his eyes, and then more and more torches were lit by people, which re-illuminated Xu An's vision.

The sound of fighting had completely disappeared. Xu An raised his head and looked around. At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on him.

Xu An said nothing, he raised his eyes and looked into the encirclement.

The Yellow Angel resolutely carried out his military order, and now there is no longer a Han soldier standing in the encirclement.

A general who loses his horse is like an ordinary person who loses his legs.

Even as brave as Xiang Yu, it is impossible to break out of the encirclement under the encirclement of such a large army.

In the army formation of military pawns advancing like a wall, no matter how brave generals are, it is difficult to stand out, let alone the yellow angels who are more terrifying than the pawns.

Xu An raised his head, and took a last look at Fanyang City, which was still lit with sparks.

"Go back to the camp and spend the night outside the city today. I ordered the Ruishi camp to clean up the battlefield, the Shanggu camp and Bingzhou camp to guard, and the soldiers camp to protect the Chinese army."

Xu An paused for a moment, and glanced at the battlefield full of corpses.

"Outside Fanyang City, build two cemeteries. The soldiers of our army are buried on the right, and the soldiers of the Han army are buried on the left."

"They are also descendants of Yanhuang, so don't let them expose their corpses to the wilderness."

Xu An turned his horse's head and headed towards the camp of the Han army in the rear.

The main force of the Han army has been defeated, and the disintegration of the Han army also makes it unnecessary for the Ming army to build camps, and can directly use the camps of the Han army.

Although the Han army ended in complete defeat in the two consecutive battles, the soldiers in the Han army camp in the south of Fanyang City can see clearly, and now I am afraid that all of them should have fled, and there should be no soldiers inside. .

However, Xu Hong, who was in charge of the guards, still led the yellow angels to inspect the entire camp, and after confirming that it was safe, he entered the camp with Xu An

By the time Xu An stepped into the camp, it was completely dark.

The illuminated brazier in the camp was lit, and the Han army was in the Ming camp, without any hidden thoughts.

Xu An glanced at the layout of the camp. He had seen many enemy camps, but this was the first time he had seen such a neat and orderly camp.

The roads between ministries, ququs, and villages are in good condition, so there is no need to worry too much even if it rains heavily, because there will not be much stagnant water, and the sentry towers in each place are also arranged just right.

Xu An withdrew his gaze and stared at the big tent that was opened in front of him.

If one can get the art of war learned from the Huangfu family, I am afraid that the quality of the students in the entire military academy and lecture hall will be greatly improved.

Among the four schools of military strategists, the school that is most suitable as a commander is undoubtedly military strategy.

A military strategist, that is, a strategist, Ban Gu said that his characteristics are "defending the country with integrity, using troops with odds, planning first and then fighting, taking into account the situation, covering yin and yang, and using skills."

As for the knowledge of strategy, even in the lecture hall, there is not much relevant knowledge.

Military strategists pay attention to the study of military strategy, and also understand the strengths of various factions of situation, yin and yang, and skills.

Xu An walked into the big tent. Although it was a big tent for marching, it looked simple, but in fact it was unimaginably luxurious.

The seats in the first seat are even covered with silk, not ordinary mats. Sitting kneeling on it, the legs and feet will not feel the slightest discomfort. There are all kinds of utensils in the tent, which are very valuable at first glance. Even lacquerware for drinking water is rare and good.

Compared with the luxurious big tents of the Han army, the camp of the Ming army is much simpler.

Among Xu An's large tents, the most expensive one is the tent outside. There are usually only a dozen stools and a table inside. They are all made of ordinary wood and are easily used for military strategies such as maps. There are no other superfluous furnishings at all, and everything is based on convenience.

The generals who entered the big tent of the Han army were also shocked by such luxury.

They have all seen the luxury of palaces and buildings in Chang'an City, but many of them from Taipingdao do not know that a large marching tent can be decorated so gorgeously. It is Ma Chao, Pound and other Liangzhou soldiers. The general was also a little tongue-tied.

How can the Han army be so undefeated?

A style of extravagance has begun to rise among the top ranks of an army, and it is getting worse.

Even Huangfusong, who is a general who stops his desires, is like this. It would be even more unbearable if it were other generals of the Han army.

I'm afraid that there are many generals and schools in the Han army who are hungry and drink blood, and the military equipment of the Han army is uneven, as Xu An can also see from these few battles.

"Boom."

Xu An tapped lightly on the desk in front of him, attracting the generals' attention.

On the desk, there is a map of Wei County.

All the generals and schools in the big tent came to their senses as if they had just woken up from a dream. Their brief curiosity was quickly overwhelmed by their excellent military quality.

Xu An cast his eyes on Bai Rao.

Bai Rao understood, without waiting for Xu An to ask, he knelt and sat up straight, and replied respectfully.

"The right formation of the Han army has also been defeated by our army, and the beheading and captives are also being calculated. For the time being, the banner of Ling Cao, the leader of the right formation of the Han army, has not been found."

"How's the situation on the left?"

Xu An turned to look at Xu You. It was not a big deal that Ling Cao ran away. He was actually more concerned about the situation of the left formation. After all, it was Liu Bei who commanded the left formation of the Han army.

Although he is in command of the army, sometimes there is no way to grasp some specific information.

Xu You also straightened up, raised his head slightly, and replied.

"The left formation of the Han army has collapsed, and most of them are scattered. The beheading and captives are still being counted. Liu Bei, the leader of the left formation, was beheaded by our army!"

Xu An's eyes narrowed slightly. He thought he would receive the news of Liu Bei's escape, but instead he heard Xu You tell the news that Liu Bei was beheaded.

Xu An was silent for a while, he couldn't believe that Liu Bei would die so easily.

However, the news that came out of Xu You's mouth could not be a false report of military information. Xu An knew Xu You's character very well.

Liu Bei...

Xu An remembered the first time he saw Liu Bei's name.

A hypocrite who brings people across the river, but a real villain who does not flow in Surabaya.

Some people in later generations called Liu Bei a hypocrite, and the so-called carrying people across the river was just to use the people as a shield.

But they forgot one thing at this time, they forgot who gave the order in Xuzhou to stop the flow of Surabaya.

Among the many princes and warlords in the Three Kingdoms at the end of Han Dynasty, Liu Bei was probably the only one who really treated the ordinary people of Liming as human beings.

Unfortunately……

It's a pity that they are in different positions. Although Liu Bei is benevolent, he is a feudal nobleman and a scholar-bureaucrat after all, and he takes it as his duty to help the Han Dynasty.

They will always be enemies, never friends, never sitting together and talking.

Xu You noticed that Xu An's expression was dim, and he was a little puzzled, but he could tell the occasion clearly, so he didn't ask any questions.

"He Man."

Xu An woke up from his brief distraction.

He knows very well that only by seizing the world can he change the future and everything.

Even if Liu Bei really rejuvenated the Han Dynasty, the destiny of the Han Dynasty is stable, and it has been stable for thousands of years since then, and the country will last forever, but the lives of the ordinary people will never get much improvement.

The situation of the Han Empire is not something that a benevolent monarch can change.The establishment of the Han Empire and its system have determined the development of the Han Empire and the lives of ordinary people in the Han Empire.

"You send some people into Fanyang City, I want to know the situation in Fanyang City."

"promise."

Xu An still doesn't know anything about Fanyang City.

Wei Jun did not come out to disrupt the situation during their battle, Xu An only saw Wei Jun's cavalry suddenly collapsed, and a large number of people fled Fanyang.

After dark, the lights in Fanyang City were dimmed, and there were only a few lights on the city wall.

It is not yet time for complete victory, Xu An is still cautious.

Xu An's eyes were on the map again. The Han army crossed the river and occupied five cities in total. From left to right, they were Chaoge in Hanoi County, Liyang and Beicheng in Weijun's crossing, Neihuang City, And Dunhill in the Eastshire.

Now Chaoge has been taken by Yu Du, but there are still four cities in the hands of the Han army.

There are only [-] defenders in Beicheng, Yu Du is besieging, and it is only a matter of time before it falls.

Dunqiu and Liyang are not important. The main force of the Han army has been defeated. I am afraid that as soon as the rout and news reach these two places, the defenders in the two places will immediately flee to the south. empty city.

It's just that Inner Yellow City is a slight variable.

Now it is Yuan Shu who is guarding Inner Yellow City. He has tens of thousands of Han troops under his command, including a considerable number of cavalry troops.

Should someone be sent forward to cut off Yuan Shu's southward route? It's not convenient for the army to move at night, but it can't stop the messenger from reporting the message.

Sun Jian definitely sent a messenger to deliver the message shortly after the Ming army arrived in Fanyang, and Yuan Shu probably knew what happened in Fanyang City.

Knowing that the main force was defeated, Yuan Shu would never be so stupid as to bring tens of thousands of soldiers under his command to fight to the death with the Ming army.

The greatest possibility for him is to escape to Liyang at night, and then cross the river down the river.

Xu An pondered for a moment, but finally gave up his plan to send cavalry to intercept.

It was already night, and they did not prepare many torches for this march, and even if they had enough torches, traveling at night would be more dangerous, especially when the roads were muddy, and the horses might get sprained and injured. The march of the army may cause a lot of non-combat attrition, and it may not be able to intercept the Han army fleeing south.

The most important thing is that the Ming army actually marched in the rain for a while. Although it was not heavy rain, if it was not handled properly, the disease might spread in the army. This time the march was in a hurry, and the Ming army did not bring much medicinal materials. If there is no epidemic, then the plan to march will have to be delayed, but the loss outweighs the gain.

Even if you let Yuan Shu go back, it won't hurt much.

The main force of the Han army has been destroyed, and the Han court has almost completely lost the opportunity to compete for world hegemony.

Most of the Han army under Yuan Shu's command came from Nanyang, but they were stronger than Yanzhou soldiers and inferior to Yuzhou soldiers, and the cavalry troops were only a thousand.

Xu An took the towel from the guard's hand, wiped off the water droplets on his face, and turned his gaze back to the map, to the plain of Qingzhou.

Next, the place that determines whether the general trend of the world will completely turn to Taiping Road is not the current Jizhou, nor is it in Youzhou, but in Qingzhou, in the city of Pingyuan.

Everything depends on Qu Yi's choice.

　, I had insomnia yesterday, and I didn’t fall asleep until after two o’clock in the afternoon. I originally set ten alarm clocks, thinking about going to sleep, and writing a manuscript when my eyes stopped hurting, but I never thought about sleeping for more than six hours at once. It's already black, so the number of words updated today is not up to the standard, I must make it up
