The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 167
Seven miles south of Bachi Mountain, Shangdang County's army is stationed.

Army Sima Guo Hua's lips turned white, his hands were trembling uncontrollably, and he could hardly hold the thin piece of bamboo in his hand, as if he had just been fished out of a cold ice cave.

What was recorded on this bamboo piece was the news that Lu Zhi had ordered the soldiers of Bingzhou County to withdraw from Bachi Mountain.

Half of Shangdang County had already fallen into the hands of the Taihang Yellow Turbans. The news of the fall of Gaodu City in the southern part of Shangdang County and the disastrous defeat of the Han army in Changping was received by Lu Zhi, and Guo Hua was naturally very clear about it.

Not to mention that there were nearly [-] Yellow Turbans in Bachi Mountain in the north. At this time, in the south of Shangdang County, as far as Guo Hua knew, there were more than [-] Yellow Turbans marching north from Gaodu all the way.

Now the Han army to the north of the Yellow Turban Army on Bachi Mountain also returned to Yangyi from the camp of Sanmu Mountain under the leadership of Lu Zhi.

A Han army officer looked at Guo Hua with a pale face, and said in a trembling voice: "Jun Sima..."

Guo Hua was a little dazed. He turned around and looked at the Han army commander who spoke.

"How can this be good..."

Guo Hua raised his eyes to look at the general in the tent, he opened his mouth, but couldn't speak, he didn't know what to do.

Shangdang County has fallen into the enemy's hands, and the main force of the Han army has given up its attack on Bachi Mountain and its [-] Han troops.

The Han Empire completely abandoned Shangdang County and handed it over to the Yellow Turban of Taihang.

Their eight hundred remnants have become a lone army, an abandoned army.

Guo Hua stepped forward, but his eyes were slightly darkened. He staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, the two guards beside Guo Hua supported him in time, so that Guo Hua didn't fall to the ground and looked embarrassed.

"Army Sima!"

The officers of the Han army in the tent crowded up nervously. If Guo Hua fell at this time, they would be even more at a loss as to what to do.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes outside the tent.

Everyone followed the reputation, and the curtain had been knocked open by a messenger from the Han army, which also brought a more unfavorable news to everyone.

The messenger stumbled into the tent, prostrated himself on the ground, and reported in a trembling voice: "Xiangyuan City has fallen..."

……

In the third year of Zhongping, on August [-], Xiangyuan City.

At this time, the gate of Xiangyuan City was wide open, and Zhao Yi, the magistrate of Xiangyuan County, led a group of officials, holding seals, and the documents stood tremblingly by the side of the road.

In just a few days, Zhao Yi received the news of Changping's defeat and Lu Zhi's withdrawal.

Not everyone has integrity, those noble people are actually a minority, and more are actually greedy for life and afraid of death.

The defeat of the Han army broke down the spirit of all the powerful people in Xiangyuan City, and also broke Zhao Yi's psychological defense.

Most of them don't want to die, most of them are afraid of death, they have no worries about food and clothing, they are high above them, they enjoy the treatment that slaves and civilians cannot enjoy in their lifetime, so most of them cherish their lives even more.

When the forward of the Yellow Turban Army arrived not far from the south of the city, Zhao Yi handed in the letter of surrender very simply after receiving the Yellow Turban Army's appeal to surrender.

Shangdang County has become an isolated island, wrapped in layers of Taihang yellow turbans, and the Han army in Shangdang County has completely lost the power to resist.

The city of Jinyang was broken, and the city of Gaodu fell. These fortified cities could not stop the Taihang Yellow Turban.

With the lessons learned from the past, Zhao Yi did not think that relying on those rural Forts and low city walls could resist the progress of the Taihang Yellow Turban.

Although the "moth thieves" under the official propaganda did all kinds of evil, looting everywhere.

But Zhao Yi, as a native of Bingzhou, naturally heard about what the Taihang Yellow Turban did when they invaded Bingzhou in the second year of Zhongping, and also knew what happened after Jinyang City was broken.

Judging from the information obtained, Xu An's Taihang Yellow Turbans were indeed very different from ordinary bandits.

The military discipline of the Taihang Yellow Turbans was quite strict, and they did not harass the people along the way. Even after the city was broken, they mostly did not offend the people in the city.

Only when the city of Jinyang was conquered did the Taihang Yellow Turbans plunder some medical artisans and artisans from the city.

This is also an important point for Zhao Yi to make up his mind.

The vanguard of the Yellow Turban Army had already entered the city at this time, and He Man had taken over the defense of the entire Xiangyuan City with the vanguard soldiers.

As Zhao Yi had heard before, the Yellow Turban Army did not burn, kill and loot after entering the city. Instead, after taking over the city defense, they sent out patrols to patrol the streets to maintain law and order.

Zhao Yi looked at the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army and sharp soldiers who passed by in front of him, and couldn't help but tremble with fear, and he became a little bit more determined about the choice he made, and the awe on the faces of those powerful people behind Zhao Yi deepened a little bit .

These Yellow Turban soldiers were not as unbearable as they imagined. Wearing thin clothes and holding simple weapons, they defeated the Han army by relying on their numerical superiority.

Although Zhao Yi didn't know soldiers, from his point of view, these Yellow Turban troops were even more like the Han army than the Han army. The spirit and equipment of these troops were superior to ordinary county soldiers.

Noisy horseshoes and footsteps approached from far away, followed by deafening shouts penetrated into the ears of Zhao Yi and others.

Zhao Yi and the others followed the sound and looked towards the corridor of the city gate. In their sight, a big khaki flag was slowly heading towards the city, and countless yellow angels in heavy armor surrounded Xu An. , defending their leader.

A large number of earth-yellow banners clustered around the big banner, the gleaming armor, and the shining cold halberds, all of which showed the might of the Yellow Turban Army.

Zhao Yi raised the watch slightly with both hands, and lowered his head, not daring to look directly at it.

The sound of horseshoes approached, and in Zhao Yi's sight, a red horse stood in front of him. There were many cloth strips with scriptures written on the horse.

Zhao Yi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and did not dare to speak, but raised the lowering table in his hand a little bit higher.

In the current situation, people are like swordsmen and I am fish and meat. Zhao Yi understands that his wealth and life depend on Xu An's thoughts, so his attitude is already respectful and cannot be more respectful.

With the sound of footsteps, a yellow angel stepped forward slowly and took the surrender watch from Zhao Yi's hand. As the weight of the surrender watch in his hand dissipated, Zhao Yi felt relieved.

"Zhao Jiyu, I haven't seen you for several years, how are you doing recently?"

Zhao Yi was startled, and suddenly raised his head, the voice was very familiar to him.

"This……"

Zhao Yiyuan opened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

What shocked him was not Xu An being surrounded by all the generals of the Yellow Turban Army, nor the strict formation of the Yellow Turban Army, but Yan Zhong who followed Xu An.
