The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 132 Marching!

At the beginning of summer and July in the third year of Zhongping (186), everything in the Taihang Mountains revived, and the roar of beasts and birds could be heard endlessly.

In the dense woods beside the mountain road, a hare was crouching in the grass and nibbling on the tender grass on the ground. Suddenly, as if it heard something, it stood up quickly, and at the same time pricked up its ears vigilantly.

At this moment, a leopard jumped out of a low bush, and before the hare could react, the leopard's sharp canines had already cut into its thin body.

But the leopard didn't immediately enjoy the hard-earned food. It turned its head, fell to the ground, let out a threatening growl, and looked in the direction of the mountain road.

There was a messy song of birds in the forest, which suddenly startled countless birds, circling outside the forest and not daring to enter the forest.

"Kick kick kick..."

A khaki flag appeared in the eyes of the leopard.

A dozen sergeants with yellow scarves on their heads were galloping towards this side. The leopard let out a low growl, picked up the hare on the ground, and jumped into the dense forest after a few leaps.

Under the strong wind, countless banners in the yellow scarf army column on the mountain road were rolled up, and Xu An's earthy yellow banner was also rolled up.

"Our army is still three miles away from Xingtianjing Pass in Taihang."

A scout of the Yellow Turban Army with a negative feather on his back knelt in front of Xu An's horse and reported to Xu An the scout ahead.

Xu An raised his head and looked into the distance, the tall gate wall of Tianjingguan was indistinct among the mountains.

"Order the whole army to speed up the march and spend the night in Tiaojingguan tonight."

"promise."

The scouts of the Yellow Turban Army turned over and stepped on their horses, and the messengers galloped out holding the order flags, spreading the news to all directions.

"There is an order from the big banner, speed up the march! Spend the night in Tiaojingguan tonight."

"There is an order from the big banner, speed up the march! Spend the night in Tiaojingguan tonight."

The military order of the big banner was passed down step by step, and the Yellow Turban army was slowly advancing on the mountain road, and the marching speed slowly began to increase.

"Wan Sheng!"

After hearing the military order, the sergeants on the mountain road couldn't help cheering loudly.

It has been nearly a month since the march all the way, and it is finally time to reach the destination today, how can people not feel excited.

The camp of the Han army in Yongcheng was full of people's voices at this time, and the news that the Yellow Turban army would leave the customs again spread throughout the entire barracks.

Last autumn Zhang Yanchang set off from Tianjingguan, invaded Hanoi, broke through the prefectures and counties of Hanoi, and looted a large amount of food and grass.

Although the emperor Liu Hong sent Zhu Jun in time to be the prefect of Hanoi and temporarily repelled the Yellow Turban Army in Taihang Mountain, the situation was still grim.

The Taihang Yellow Turbans occupy an important pass, and they can go out from Taihangxing and Baixing to invade Hanoi County, but Zhu Jun has no way to pose a threat to the Yellow Turbans in Taihang Mountain.

After Zhu Jun expelled Zhang Yan last year, he also tried to attack Tianjingguan.

However, the Han army not only lacked large-scale siege equipment, but also Tianjingguan was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there were a large number of Yellow Turban troops. In the end, the Han army had to return without success.

In the early spring and June of this year, the change in Taihang Xing attracted Zhu Jun's attention, and a large number of Yellow Turban scouts began to appear outside the Tianjing Pass.

What puzzled Zhu Jun was why the Yellow Turban Army dared to go out to investigate in such a big way without covering it up.

Today's Hanoi County is very different from before Zhu Jun took office last year.

The first thing Zhu Jun did after taking office was to strengthen the city defenses everywhere, and recruited some county soldiers, and the powerful Hanoi County also felt threatened by the Yellow Turban of Taihang Mountain and united with the government.

Now many counties and counties in Hanoi County are already solid cities, with many soldiers and generals, and they are not too afraid of the Taihang Yellow Turbans.

The county soldiers in Hanoi have also completed their training under Zhu Jun's command. Although they are not strong soldiers, they are much better than before.

At least most of the military drills and orders are already known. Under Zhu Jun's strict training, these originally lazy county soldiers can barely advance and retreat in an orderly manner.

As for the family soldiers brought by Zhu Jun, most of these family soldiers followed Zhu Jun from Jiaozhou to fight, or were old soldiers who put down the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the past.

After obtaining permission from the Son of Heaven, Zhu Jun had already armed all the soldiers under his command with the weapons in the arsenal of Hanoi County. Now the military strength of the Hanoi Han Army is unprecedentedly strong.

At this time, the summer harvest had just passed, and Zhu Jun naturally could not allow the Yellow Turban Army to loot a large amount of food again to replenish the mountain.

Now the Taihang Yellow Turban is in the limelight. It first broke the soldiers of Jizhou County, then Jinyang City, and even sent troops to Hanoi to break the counties.

In November last year, Zhang Wen temporarily repelled the rebellious Qiang cavalry in Liangzhou in Meiyang, and finally had a good year. If the Taihang Yellow Turbans cause any trouble...

Under the sky, it was pitch black, the camp of the Han army in Yongcheng.

Zhu Jun sat in the big tent, silently eating the food in the bowl.

The lights in the big tent were a little dim, stretching Zhu Jun's shadow very long, and there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the tent.

Zhu Jun's eyes lit up, and the curtain was lifted by the soldiers outside the tent.

A general in a scarlet shirt came walking fast, followed by four generals.

"Sun Jian, I greet the envoy."

As soon as the red-robed general walked into the big tent, he respectfully saluted Zhu Jun who was sitting in front of the desk.

The four generals behind him also bowed together: "Meet the envoy."

These four were exactly the four generals who had followed Sun Jian in battle: Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai, and Zu Mao.

……

The surrounding area of ​​Tianjing Pass was full of camps of Yellow Turban Army. A large number of soldiers walked back and forth on the wall of the pass. Dozens of blazing fires lit up the entire pass city like daylight.

In the government office in Guannei, a huge map of mountains and rivers was hung in the most conspicuous position in the hall.

Xu An frowned and stood in the hall looking at the map in front of him, Yan Zhong was standing beside Xu An.

Xu Huang, Zhang Yan, Gong Du, Yu Du, Zhou Cang, and He Man lined up on both sides of the hall.

Xu An turned around and asked with his hands behind his back, "How is the situation of the Han army outside the pass?"

Gong Du cupped his fists and reported: "According to scout reports, the Han army camp is still on the west side of Yongcheng, but the strength of the troops is still unknown."

"Thirty miles from Tianjingguan to Kuicheng..."

Xu An nodded, turned his head, and carefully observed the terrain around Kuicheng.

The north of Kuicheng is the road leading to Taihang Xing, the terrain is relatively rugged, and the northwest and northeast are hilly areas, showing a trend of high in the north and low in the south.

"Tomorrow, meals will be made at four o'clock, and the camp will be pulled out at five o'clock. The army will set up camp here before noon."

Xu Huang and the others raised their eyes and saw that what Xu An was pointing at was the hilly area in the northwest of Kuicheng.

"Zhu Jun knows that my main force is going out, so he will definitely send troops to the north to meet."

The mountain wind outside the door roared into the hall, flickering the lights in the hall.

"This battle will be the beginning of my rise to peace!!"

Xu An turned around slowly, looked around at the generals in the hall, and showed his dark white teeth.

　I overestimated the speed of my own update, and I couldn't get down to writing even though the plot picture was in my mind.

　　I'm dizzy, let's make up for it slowly.
