The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 87
There is a mountain in the south of Taihang Mountains called Luchang, and there is a mountain called Tiger Ridge. This is the base camp of Yudu, the overlord in the southern Taihang Mountains. Yudu led skilled craftsmen to build the top of the village. Since then, "Tiger Ridge" Renamed as "Tiger Village", also known as "Yudu Village", the terrain is quite dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Due to the large number of his subordinates, the territory under Yudu’s rule is different from that of bandits and bandits with only a thousand people. His sphere of influence is almost similar to that of some small counties in the Han Dynasty. Qingyan absolutely.

Compared with most bandits in the Taihang Mountains, Yu Du is an outlier. He was originally a son of a peasant family in the Taihang Mountains.

In the first year of Zhongping, there was a severe drought and the people were struggling to survive. Yu Du's hometown was inevitably affected by the famine. In the mountainous area of ​​Qixian County, he gathered the people who went bankrupt because of the government's expropriation of money and grain, as well as some chivalrous men in the countryside, and secretly plotted.

When Taiping Road set off a vigorous Yellow Turban Uprising, Yu Du led people to break Qi County, opened warehouses to put food, and beheaded those officials who were overbearing in the countryside.

For a time, there were thousands of Yun followers, but the good times did not last long. Although tens of thousands of people gathered under Yu Du's command, the Han army's encirclement and suppression became more and more intense.

When the main force of the Yellow Turbans was destroyed in Xiaquyang, Yu Du also fled into Taiping Mountain. It is precisely because of Yu Du's reputation as a young man and a man of kindness and generosity that many local people followed Yu Du and ran into Taihang Mountain.

So that Yu Du gathered more than [-] sergeants, including their family members, there were even as many as [-] or [-] people under Yu Du's command.

Therefore, Yu Du never forgot his original intention: to resist the officers and soldiers, fight the rich to help the poor, protect the peasants, not to mention that killing people without authorization is a capital crime in the drug army, and even trampling on the fields where crops are grown on the march will also be punished by whipping.

It is more appropriate to say that it is a bandit than a rebel army.

Unlike the general thieves who make a living by looting, Yu Du has vast fields in the mountains, plus the food and grass that had been robbed by the government before, it can be regarded as self-sufficient.

At the foot of Luchang Mountain, in a Dazhai, Yu Du sat cross-legged in the courtyard with a serious expression.

Next to him sat a lean man wearing a cyan headband, and a man with a goatee wearing a black headscarf and a military uniform.

These two are Bai Rao and Sui Gu, and the atmosphere at this time is a little dull.

Bai Rao had a bitter face, and said to Yu Du worriedly.

"Brother, this Xu An is aggressive, Lei Gong, Bai Que, Fuyun, Wulu and four people, three of them have been folded into his hands, and Bai Que's camp is more than [-] miles north of my Yunjin Mountain."

Sui Gu's face is also uncertain. He and Bai Rao are only a few dozen miles apart, and there are only a few thousand people under his command. If Bai Que is also beheaded by Xu An, he and Bai Rao will join forces and will not see each other. It can't stop the Yellow Turban army that is gaining momentum now.

"I heard that a few days ago, Zhang Yan, the commander of the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou, led an army of more than [-] people into the Taihang Mountains from Jingxing Pass. Now the Yellow Turban Army has sufficient strength, I am afraid that it has moved the mind of unifying Taihang."

"Xu An..."

Yu Du closed his eyes slightly, he whispered Xu An's name, and seemed to be thinking about something.

This Xu An seems to have suddenly appeared. He beheaded Yu Digen in the first battle, annexed the bandits on Luohu Mountain, and later killed Qingniujiao and Li Damu in the first battle, and joined forces with Huanglong, the remnant of the Yellow Turban Army in Taihang Mountain. one place.

Then in just a few months, all the bandits and bandits in the central part were wiped out, and they even captured Jingxing Pass in one fell swoop at the beginning of this year.

"Report!"

The scouts' shouts were suddenly heard from outside the courtyard.

"Baiquezhai has surrendered, and the Yellow Turbans are marching in the direction of Yunjin Mountain!"

"what!"

Hearing the news that the Yellow Turbans were marching towards Yunjin Mountain, Bai Raohuo stood up abruptly, and there were dense beads of sweat on his forehead.

"What's the hurry?" Yu Du looked up at Bai Rao, who was at a loss. "Bai Que Village is more than [-] kilometers away from Yunjin Mountain. The mountain road is rugged. It will take at least two days for the Yellow Turban Army to reach your camp."

Sui Gu made up his mind and stepped forward to persuade: "Brother, there are many fields near Luchang Mountain. When there is a military disaster, the people under your command will suffer."

"The three of you and I are sworn brothers, not to mention the people under my rule, I can't just let you go."

Yu Du slowly stood up and said.

"If you care about it, you will be confused. You will go back to Yunjin Mountain first. As early as when you came, I have already sent a messenger to gather the troops. Calculate the time, it is almost time to gather up, and you will arrive at Yunjin tomorrow evening. Mountain."

"Thank you eldest brother, that little brother, go ahead and worship at Yunjin Mountain and wait for the eldest brother to wash away the dust!"

Bai Rao got Yu Du's letter of approval. At this time, he smiled happily, accused himself of the crime, and ran out of the courtyard in a hurry.

Yu Du shook his head and said to Sui Gu, who was beside him, "Sui Gu, you are now returning to the village to convene the sergeants and reconcile with us in Yunjin Mountain.

"Brother, don't worry."

Sui Gu was also unambiguous, clasped his fists with both hands, and exited the courtyard, only to hear the neighing of a horse outside the door, and the sound of hooves from near to far, Yu Du knew that Sui Gu had driven his horse on the way back to the village.

Suigu himself is very brave and brave, so this trip was urgent, so he did not bring his own guards like Bai Rao, but came alone.

In the courtyard, Yu Du stood on the spot, but there was a twinkle in his eyes. He turned his head to look at the mountains in the north. The mountains were still surrounded by white scarves, like a fairyland.

Yu Du stepped out of the courtyard, and the sergeant guarding the door bowed his head and respectfully saluted their commander.

Between the fields, the messengers with the command flags on their backs are running on the top, and the people outside the village are full of people and bustling.

Yu Du rode on the yellow horse drawn by his guards, and a group of sergeants in heavy armor were already beside him.

All the residents of the village who discovered the poisonous figure gathered here.

They all saluted Yu Po, and their reverence for Poison came from the heart, because this was the knight who saved them from the famine.

The ranger who opened the warehouse in the county to put food in the warehouse was the young knight they grew up watching.

Yu Du all smiled and saluted one by one, the sun shining on his face, he looked around the sergeants, waved the whip in his hand, and the horse under his crotch neighed.

"Get out!"

In the shouting of Yu Du, thousands of soldiers in the village moved their footsteps and slowly walked towards the gate of the village.

Along the way they were all sending people off.

"General Wansheng!"

I don't know who in the crowd shouted, and all the people in the village shouted loudly at Yu Du who was riding on the yellow horse.

"General Wansheng!"

"General Wansheng!"

"General Wansheng!"

Yu Du rode on the yellow horse and unconsciously clenched the whip in his hand. This was what he treasured most, and no one could take it away, whether it was the imperial court or the yellow turban. Step over.
