The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 798 Closing
Holding the whip in his hand, Xu An stepped into the hall without taking off his armor, let alone his shoes and socks, wearing a war robe.

The dirt on the shoes remained on the originally clean ground of the hall as Xu An walked.

Xu An didn't care about the rule that swords and soldiers were not allowed to enter the hall. He entered this hall of the palace just for a formality.

Behind them, Hao Zhao and Xu Hong held the Yanling knife on their waists and led a group of soldiers of the Tengxiang Guards into two rows, guarding Xu An's left and right.

The soldiers of the Wei army who were originally guarding the hall are now in the Wei army camp outside the city of Yecheng, and the current guards in the hall have already been replaced by soldiers from the Ming army.

Xu An walked all the way to the first seat of the hall, but did not sit down, holding the braid in one hand and pressing the knife in the other.

Xu Hong, Hao Zhao, and a group of soldiers of Tengxiang Guard stood under the steps, scanning the Wei Ting ministers in the hall vigilantly.

Xu An raised his eyes and looked at the officials in the hall.

Most of the ministers of the Wei court in the hall were kneeling with their heads down, and no one spoke, but there were also those who raised their heads and glared, and those who looked coldly and fearlessly.

Xu An didn't write down the faces of these people, nor did he have any intention of liquidating.

Anyway, none of these ministers of Wei Ting will use them in the future. Although he has experienced many wars, the accumulation of hundreds of years in Jizhou is still densely populated and extremely rich.

Jizhou is located in the north of the Yellow River, not far from Chang'an, and connected to Bingzhou. It is easy to control and belongs to the inland area, not a place that is difficult to control on the frontier.

There is no shortage of talents in Taiping Road. After years of educational development, the talent reserve in Taiping Road has already been able to keep pace with the expansion of Taiping Road.

Xu An's gaze finally settled on the judge.

At this time, the judge was standing on the right side of the hall, and beside him stood a young man in white, with clear eyebrows and a face as white as jade. The young man calmly stared ahead, not knowing what he was thinking .

Xu An knew that the boy should be Yuan Shao's youngest son, Yuan Shang.

"Three Kingdoms: Dong Er, Yuan Liu Biography": Shao Ai's youngest son, Shang, is beautiful, but he does not want to show it.

In the original time and space, Yuan Shao was defeated at Guandu, but in fact, his strength was not much weaker than Cao Cao, and he still had a chance to compete for supremacy. Unfortunately, he fell ill later, and committed the biggest taboo in the matter of establishing a reserve .

After Yuan Shao's death, the regime of the three sons was finally defeated by Cao Cao.

The officials in the hall bowed down, and the judge picked up an imperial edict, walked up to His Majesty, and faced all the officials in the hall.

The edict is an edict to abdicate and become a minister.

Yuan Shang gave up the position of emperor of Wei State, announced that Wei State was merged into Ming State, and was canonized by it.

The examiner held the imperial edict tightly with both hands, his body was trembling, and every time he read a word, it seemed that he would consume a lot of energy.

As the edict was read out, all the Wei officials in the hall bowed their heads and remained silent, even those who looked up and glared, cold-eyed and fearless also lowered their heads at this time, losing all their vitality.

After reading the last word of the imperial edict, the examiner's eyes also lost all luster.

Looking at the silent group of officials in the palace, the judge only felt weak and exhausted.

The moment when the edict was read out, it also represented that Wei State was going to the grave.

From now on, there will be no Wei State in this world, no more Great Wei...

Shen Pei closed his eyes, and he still vividly remembered the high spirits and smug ambitions of the founding of the country.

Dongjun was victorious, and the soldiers entered Luoyang, overwhelming the Han court, and the soldiers were brave, what a heroic spirit.

But after just over two years, everything has taken a sharp turn for the worse.

From the first year of Longwu (193), February [-]th.

In the third year of Longwu (195), June [-]th.

Two years, but everything has changed...

Step by step, the appraiser slowly walked back to the right and left His Majesty.

An Yingwei Qianhu officer in a red eagle and wolf uniform held a silk book in both hands, raised the silk book above his head, and presented it to Hao Zhao who was standing in another place.

Hao Zhao took the silk scroll from Yingwei Qianhu and slowly unfolded it.

His voice is not loud, but because of the special arrangement of the hall, his voice can still be clearly heard by everyone.

Hao Zhao's voice was firm and powerful, and his voice echoed along the walls of the hall in the ears of everyone in the hall.

"Following Heaven and Chengyun Daojun, the imperial edict said: Jin Feng Yuan Shang is the Marquis of Wei, and there are thousands of households in the city..."

After Hao Zhao finished speaking, the entire hall was silent.

Xu An's gaze also stayed on Yuan Shang who was standing behind the judge.

Yuan Shang finally made a move. He raised his head and glanced at Xu An, who happened to meet Xu An's eyes.

Xu An noticed that Yuan Shang's eyes were red, and he knew that Yuan Shang's heart was definitely not as calm as his face.

Although Yuan Shang was young, he was able to control his emotions far better than ordinary children, which also attracted Xu An's attention.

The children of the aristocratic families all received a good education. The more prominent the aristocratic family, the more they valued education, and the gap was caused by this.

However, Yuan Shang only attracted Xu An's attention. He passed the national examination, entered the Army Academy, and selected any one of the national students from the National Academy, which is not necessarily worse than Yuan Shang.

In the city and the countryside, there is never a shortage of talented people.

"I would like to respect the decree of the Taoist monarch."

Yuan Shang knelt down on the ground and took the imperial edict from Hao Zhao's hand.

The examiner supported Yuan Shang to stand up, and wanted to take off the seal on Yuan Shang's body with trembling hands, but failed to remove the seal on Yuan Shang's body after several attempts.

In the end, Yuan Shang untied Xishou himself and handed it over to the judge.

The examiner held the jade seal with both hands and presented it to Hao Zhao, who then presented the jade seal to Xu An.

Xu An took Yuxi from Hao Zhao's hand.

The radius is four inches, and there are five dragons in the upper part, and one corner of the upper part is missing.

Xu An had never seen the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom, but when he got it, he subconsciously knew that this jade seal was not the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom in the rumors.

Xu An is holding the jade seal. According to historical records, the Chuan Guo Yu Seal was acquired by Sun Jian. Regardless of the original time and space, or the current time and space, the Chuan Guo Yu Seal found by Sun Jian should be the real Chuan Guo Yu Seal.

The Chuanguo Yuxi was not privately kept by Sun Jian, but was dedicated to Liu Xie by him and stored in Chendu of the Han Court.

This jade seal is just a fake seal made by Yuan Shao in order to become famous as emperor.

Xu An turned the jade seal over and looked at the surface of the jade seal. On the surface of the seal were engraved eight characters written in large seal characters.

"Ordered by heaven, you will live forever."

Xu An looked at the eight big characters on the jade seal in front of him, and was a little lost for a while.

He knew that the jade seal in his hand was fake, but when he saw the eight characters, his heart was beating wildly.

Ordered by the sky, life will last forever...

For five thousand years, which man could resist such a temptation.

Xu An tightened his grip on the jade seal in his hand, and then suddenly placed it on the desk beside him.

Yuxi landed on the table and made a soft sound.

All the ministers in the hall raised their heads and looked at Xu An in surprise.

Xu An didn't say much, he held on to the horsewhip, turned his back to the desk, and didn't take another look at the jade seal on the desk.

"Walk."

Holding the whip in his hand, Xu An stepped down from the first seat. He didn't care about any stares, and strode towards the outside of the hall.

A group of guards followed Xu An and filed out.

The sound of messy footsteps resounded in the hall. When Xu An entered the hall, he was holding the horsewhip in his hand, and when he walked out of the hall, he was still holding the horsewhip in his hand.

Xu An stepped on the horse and stood outside the main hall. At this time, the Yecheng Imperial Palace was silent, gloomy and lifeless, as if it also understood its own destiny.

"The palace in Yecheng is sealed off, and it is fully under military control. Except for the palace people, the rest are not allowed to stay in the palace."

"Those who are willing to go back to their hometowns will be given travel expenses to allow them to go back to their hometowns, and those who don't want to go back to their hometowns will stay in the palace temporarily."

"correct."

As Xu An spoke, he also remembered one thing.

In the territory of Taiping Road, the status and income of Ming army soldiers are at a very high level, but marriage is still a big problem.

After all, the Ming army fought abroad all year round. Although there were holidays, they gathered less and left more.

In order to ensure the stability of military marriages and the sense of belonging and happiness of soldiers, Xu An has always vigorously protected military marriages and does not allow anyone to destroy military marriages in any form.

And Xu An gave pensions to the families of the soldiers who died in the army under his command, and supported their heirs, that is, Taipingwei.

Now the ranks of the Ming army are not only regular troops, local troops, but also military soldiers, and some soldiers are not yet married.

"Arrange a blind date in the name of the Privy Council."

"A blind date?"

Hao Zhao was a little puzzled.

"Dare to ask Master, what is the explanation for this 'blind date meeting', the students don't quite understand what it means..."

Xu An was slightly taken aback, but he ignored that there seemed to be no such thing at this time.

The word "blind date" seems to refer to mutual love and closeness in ancient times.

Generally speaking, it seems that both men and women have basically never met each other before they got married, especially the more wealthy the family, the stricter the family education.

Generally, they obey the orders of their parents and the words of matchmakers. Although ordinary people are different from high-ranking families, they are inevitably affected by them.

"Mencius Teng Wengong Xia": "If you don't wait for your parents' orders, or the matchmaker's words, if you peep at each other through the gaps, and follow each other over the wall, your parents and people will be despised."

In ancient times, if you didn't obey your parents' orders, matchmaker's words, and fell in love freely, you would even be despised.

"The so-called blind date..."

Xu An felt that the detailed explanation was a little complicated, so he pondered for a while and said simply.

"There are many maids in the palace. Choose those maids who are innocent, unmarried, and have no relationship with Yuan Shao, and then select unmarried generals from the army, and then go to the same place to get to know each other. If you like each other, Let the Privy Council act as a matchmaker, and make a marriage contract first."

Hao Zhao grinned and made a promise.

"Unexpectedly, the master not only manages government affairs, military affairs, and people's livelihood, but also manages marriages."

Xu An cast a sideways glance at Hao Zhao.

"You don't have to worry if your parents arrange marriages, but it's not easy for soldiers under your command to get married. After all, there are so many women of the right age. It's just right to arrange a blind date."

"By the way, since you said that I even take care of the marriage, then as your teacher, I can also be regarded as your elder. I will definitely choose a partner for you."

"What I mean is that the master is so considerate of the soldiers, you should pay attention to your body and don't work too hard."

Hao Zhao had a straight face and spoke righteously.

"Such trivial matters, students can do it themselves, don't bother the teacher, I will go find the civil servants to count the soldiers, hold a blind date meeting, and the teacher should rest more."

After saying that, without waiting for Xu An to speak, Hao Zhao excused that the war was tense and needed to make statistics first, and then hurriedly left outside the main hall.

Xu An's face twitched slightly. Hao Zhao is not as stable as before. I really don't know how Liu Shi led him.

Thinking of Liu Shi, Xu An's face was also a little stiff.

Liu Shi is really stupid. He originally thought that Liu Shi has experienced so many things. He has been a soldier in the military region for many years, and he has been in the lecture hall for half a year. He should be much more stable than when he was in the Taihang Mountains. .

But in the letter received today, Xu An knew that Liu Shi was really a reckless man. He led the soldiers of the two counties, and he was in a hurry all the way. He had already defeated Guangyang County and Zhuo County in Zhuo County Now they are leading troops to Fanyang.

He is now leading more than [-] cavalry from the two counties military districts, only more than [-] miles away from Fan County, while the cavalry of the brigade is still in Zhuo County, and the main infantry is even in the city of Liangxiang in the northeast of Zhuo County.

The same is true for Zhu Jiu. During the battle in the northern Taihang Mountains, Yan Zhong's comment on Zhu Jiu was steady, old-fashioned, loyal and tenacious.

But in the battle of Zhongshan County, Zhu Jiu was about to reach Jiedu Pavilion in Zhongshan County, and he also brought forward cavalry, and the infantry of the brigade was still in Anxi City to the west.

There is not a single stable and normal person who came out of the two county military regions.

Xu An couldn't help feeling dizzy thinking about the news he received recently. He had already made up his mind, how to teach Liu Shi to be a qualified general after meeting Liu Shi.

Then he thought of Ma Chao and Pang De, these two men were self-proclaimed and brave, and they often took the lead, charged into battle, and indeed won the credit for beating the generals and capturing the flag.

It's just that the tactics of being a vanguard are fine now, but if you become the main general in the future, this kind of tactics is naturally absolutely impossible.

Although Lu Bu was brave, after he became the chief officer of the Xiaoqi Battalion, he rarely charged. Only when the situation was clear and when a fighter opportunity appeared, he would lead his personal guards into the battle and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

"It's still Zhang Liao who makes people worry."

Xu An sighed, compared to Liu Shi and Ma Chao, Zhang Liao has much more peace of mind, and his tactics are comparable to Lu Bu's. He has already studied the situation of soldiers to a certain extent, and he is not as reckless as Liu Shi and the others.

However, when Xu An sighed, he forgot one thing.

The ethos of the two counties' military regions seems to have changed only after Zhang Liao participated in the Rushui battle.

The key to determining the outcome of the Battle of Rushui was precisely because Zhang Liao seized the fleeting opportunity and led the cavalry of two thousand Xiao cavalry battalions directly into the cavalry formation of the Wuhuan army, beheading Wuyan, the king of Khan Lu. , and later became famous in Monan, which also changed the atmosphere of the entire two-county military area.

……

Western Regions.

Zhang Liao suddenly felt something strange in his heart, but he quickly put it behind him.

"General, the guide replied that our army has arrived at the eastern border of Dawan Kingdom. Thirty miles to the west is the city of Dawan Kingdom."

Zhang Liao lifted his spirits when he heard the words, and stood up with a smile on his lips.

"So it's already here."

Zhang Liao pondered for a while, then turned his head and asked.

"Is there any news from the guard?"

"There is no news yet, but according to estimates, it should be at most three days away from our department."

Zhang Liao nodded, gripped the saddle tightly, stepped onto the horse with one step, raised the whip in his hand, and swung it forward.

"Order the whole army to spend the night in the border of Dawan Kingdom tonight!"

"call out------"

The whistle sounded, and in the camp, countless Ming army cavalrymen wearing yellow scarves and war robes got on their horses and gathered together under the call of the whistle.
