Chapter 356: Aged in Xinwei
The blue sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand. The year is Xinwei, and the world will be blessed!
184 is the year of Jiazi, and this year is 191, which is exactly the year of Xinwei according to the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches.
"Hahaha, what Qu Shuai said is good. Although the great virtuous teacher has fallen, Qu Shuai is still there. We will definitely accomplish the task of overthrowing the Han Dynasty."
"That's right, Liu Ye failed to catch Qu Shuai back then, but now Qu Shuai has made a comeback. .”
Hearing everyone's flattery, Xu He laughed out loud, but he did his part.
"Everyone, we have already defeated Bao Xin. The 30,000 army is the main force of Yanzhou. Although most of the cities in Yanzhou are still there, they are just for show. As soon as my army arrives, we will naturally surrender the city. Yanzhou Insignificant."
Xu He, who was driven into the deep mountains by Liu Ye back then, is now full of confidence. He regained his army of one hundred thousand or even one million. The most important thing is that Liu Ye went north to deal with the Huns. not afraid.
Bao Xin, who has always been known as a famous general in Yanzhou, was not defeated by himself in the end?
Xu He thought for a while, and immediately decided: "Although the great virtuous teacher was proficient in fairy arts back then, my army of millions swept the eight states but failed. , must not be defeated by the officers and soldiers one by one, the most important thing is that before Liu Ye comes back, he must command Hulao Pass, capture Luoyang, and establish a new dynasty!"
"That's right! We also want to proclaim ourselves emperor and establish a new dynasty."
"When Xu Shuai becomes emperor, we will all be servants of the dragon."
"Haha, that's good, I want to be a general."
Hearing that the crowd vaguely recommended him to be emperor, Xu He smiled, and then said seriously: "Okay, there is no rush to become emperor, the key is to capture Luoyang."
After finishing speaking, Xu He looked at Zhang De beside him: "How is it going in Wancheng?"
Zhang De said respectfully: "If it's not bad, it should be these few days."
"Well, when the news of the uprising comes, please invite Zhang Manhe and Boqu to lead the troops eastward and attack Hulao Pass together!"
Nanyang County, Wancheng.
Nanyang County has always been rich, but now there is a big fire on the top of the city. Countless bandits wearing yellow scarves rise and fall. They fought a battle with the Han army in the city. After a while, the officials and soldiers in the city could not resist and had to withdraw from the city. out.
"Damn it! How dare these yellow scarf thieves bully me?" Yuan Shu's face was scorched and angry.
"My lord, the yellow turban bandits had planned it long ago, and there are so many people. Our army has been depleted since we were defeated by Xu Rong last time. Now even if we want to counterattack, we don't have the ability." Ji Ling remonstrated.
"Damn it, without Nanyang, there is no reason for a certain person to gain a foothold?" Yuan Shu said angrily.
This kid Liu Ye didn't give him any land, so he let himself stay in Nanyang County. Now that Nanyang County doesn't even exist, what should we do?
Yan Xiang, the chief secretary at the side, suddenly said: "My lord, since we were defeated by Xu Rong last time, it has been very difficult for our army to recruit troops in Nanyang County. If we want to achieve supremacy, how can we stay in Nanyang County?"
Yuan Shu said angrily, "If you don't go to Nanyang County, where can you go?"
"The roots of the Yuan family are all in Runan County. Moreover, Runan County has always been the most prosperous in the world, with a population of one million households. If you get Runan County, why worry about the hegemony? An army of 100,000 is easy."
Hearing Yan Xiang's words, Yuan Shu calmed down: "The governor of Yuzhou is Kong Ni, can he acquiesce in our army taking over Runan County?"
Yan Xiang said coldly: "Kong Ni is getting old, and neither the political nor the military is his leader. If you control Runan County, you can dominate Yuzhou. Yuzhou is connected to Yangzhou in the east, and has the advantage of Wu and Yue soldiers. How can you not take it?"
Yuan Shu fell silent, thought for a while, looked up at Wancheng firmly, and nodded.
"Let's go, send troops to Runan!"
In the dark night, Yuan Shu disappeared in Wancheng and went in another direction.
Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the greatest crisis of the Eastern Han Dynasty has finally come. Even the Dong Zhuo Rebellion and the Qiang Rebellion were incomparable.
Qushuai Xu and Dongshan of Qingzhou rose again, raised their arms and shouted to gather millions of people, swept Qingzhou, and went west to Taishan County to defeat Bao Xin. Yanzhou was in danger.
Zhang Manhe, Zhang Mancheng's younger brother, and Bo Qu, son of Bocai, raised troops to capture Wancheng, and responded to Xu He's army eastward. Suddenly, an encirclement circle from Qingzhou and Yanzhou in the east to Jingzhou in the west was formed against Guanzhong.
"Wen Ze, be careful here. If it doesn't work, retreat to Wuguan. I have ordered Ma Teng to send troops from Liangzhou to the south, and do everything according to my ability."
Looking at Yu Jin in military uniform, Xun You couldn't help exhorting.
Yu Jin said in high spirits: "Mr. Gongda, don't worry, although the Yellow Turban Bandits drove away Yuan Shu and occupied Wancheng, according to the report of our army's spies in Nanyang, the Yellow Turban Bandits are busy burning, killing, looting, raping and looting in Nanyang County. I don’t know that dividing up the troops to attack Jingzhou and Yuzhou is not going to happen, even though I only brought 3,000 soldiers and horses, but it was a thunderous blow, and the bandit army will definitely be defeated!”
It turned out that Liu Ye had already planted eyeliners among the princes of various places, so the news of the fall of Wancheng spread to Wuguan as soon as the Yellow Turban Bandits captured Wancheng. The knights passed through various post stations, changing horses without changing people, and spread the news to Luoyang within a few days.
Xun You was taken aback when he saw this information. If the Yellow Turban bandits in Wancheng and the Yellow Turban bandits in Dongjun were united, wouldn't it be dangerous for Luoyang to have few troops?
Although Xun You is good at strategy, he is not a general who leads troops in battle, so he hastily consulted Yu Jin who stayed in Luoyang.
When Yu Jin heard the news, he immediately proposed that the 10,000 soldiers stationed in Luoyang be divided into two, and 7,000 soldiers and horses be guarded at Hulao Pass to prevent the enemy from attacking, and to use his own banner to confuse the enemy.
But the real Yu Jin was to advance lightly, leaving Wuguan with 3,000 sharp soldiers, raiding Wancheng, annihilating the yellow turban bandits in Wancheng with lightning speed, and taking the opportunity to cut off the yellow turban bandits' arm to prevent the enemy from attacking Wuguan at the same time. Close with Hulao to reduce defensive pressure.
Yu Ban's soldiers have always been calm, but now he proposes such a strategy, which makes Xun You look at him with admiration.
"Mr. Gongda, don't worry, it's not some light soldier rushing in. We must attack quickly before the yellow turban thieves react. Otherwise, if they react, it will be too late." Yu Jin said seriously.
Xun You nodded and said with a smile, "Wen Ze, someone is waiting for your success report in Luoyang!"
Yu Jin smiled: "Within ten days, there must be a harvest!"
