The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 356 Wuhuan Messenger

The date of dispatching troops was set on May [-]th, and the date was gradually approaching during the busy time, and the various departments of the Yellow Turban Army had already started to act.

Xu An recruited [-] cavalry from the original Xiongnu tribe, compiled them as Bingzhou volunteers, and went out with the army as the vanguard of the army.

And these [-] Bingzhou volunteers also rushed to the outside of Jinyang from Meiji and other places.

Today, outside Jinyang City, a large number of soldiers have gathered, and elite troops from all over the world have gathered outside Jinyang City.

As for the siege equipment, they had been mobilized by the Xu Security Department to the east of Yanmen County long before the Jinyang military meeting. After all, the siege equipment was slow, and if they went out with the army, it would take a lot of time.

Xu An also recruited a group of craftsmen to go to the Northland to build siege equipment, but there is still a shortage of siege equipment.

However, there is no good way to do this. In August of this year, it was the time agreed with the Liangzhou and Youzhou forces to dispatch troops.

It turned out that Xu An wanted to delay the time so that the Yellow Turban Army would have more time to prepare. The Yellow Turban Army would definitely be a little tired after fighting continuously, and Xu An also noticed it.

However, the more and more active embroidered clothes envoys in various places have made it more and more difficult for Taiping Dao believers in Qingzhou and other places to carry out activities.

Every once in a while, followers of Taipingdao were arrested, and the place where they preached was investigated by the embroidered clothes envoy.

The Yingwei who were ordered to lurk in Qingzhou and other places have leaked some.

Time could not be delayed any longer, and if it continued, the Embroidered Clothes Messenger would probably discover the plans of the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou and other places, as well as Xu An's plan, which would make the Han court vigilant.

Xu An really couldn't accept the result of falling short, and the Yellow Turban Army and Taipingdao were also unable to bear such a serious blow.

Thinking of this, Xu An couldn't help feeling a little anxious and restless.

Yan Zhong also noticed that Xu An was restless, so he asked, "Mr. Ming seems to be a little upset."

"Military division, you said that I launched the battle between the two counties, is it a bit hasty?"

Xu An sighed and said.

Yan Zhong had a flexible mind, so he naturally knew why Xu An was upset, so he immediately comforted him and said, "Zhang Ju's rebellion seems to be very powerful, but Youzhou has no danger to defend, Zhang Ju is a warrior, Han Ting has not yet reacted, so let him He got a head start."

"Jizhou has a large population, and it is connected to Sili and many places in Qingzhou. When the Han army recovers, it will be easy to destroy Zhang Ju."

"If you don't replace the county and Shanggu County at this time, I'm afraid you will have to pay more next time."

Xu An frowned slightly and said.

"I also know this truth, but I am still a little worried. After repeated battles, the combat effectiveness of the army has declined, and it will not be able to cope with the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou and other places. After all, the Jizhou of Hanting should not be underestimated."

Xu An glanced at the map in front of him, because Liu Yan posted it a year earlier, so the current Jizhou is far stronger than the Jizhou in 188 years in history.

Not only the number of county soldiers has increased a lot, but local tyrants and aristocratic families have also taken the opportunity to train a lot of village bravery and family soldiers.

After the two wars in Jizhou, people were already in panic. The remaining powerful families sought to protect themselves. The intensified turmoil in the three states of Liangzhou, Bingzhou, and Youzhou made the powerful families in Jizhou even more anxious.

After all, from Youzhou to Jizhou, there is nothing to stop Wuhuan's cavalry from going south.

This is also a very important reason why the time for sending troops cannot be delayed.

Yan Zhong shook the silk fan and said with a smile.

"What Duke Ming is worried about is that the main force of our army is exhausted from fighting for a long time. He fears that he will be defeated by the Han army in Jizhou, which will cause the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou to fail and be trapped in the land of Qingzhou."

"Yes, exactly"

Xu An smiled wryly and nodded.

"Actually, Duke Ming doesn't need to worry about this matter. Our army has entered the two counties of Daidai and Shanggu, and what we have received is not just the land of the two counties."

Yan Zhong closed his silk fan and nodded.

"The Wuhuan tribe in Shanggu has nearly [-] people. The Wuhuan Tuqi are extremely brave. The impact of the Wuhuan horse is better than that of the Huns and other tribes. It is necessary to give armor and weapons to the recruited Wuhuan Tuqi to turn them into a strong army comparable to the Xiaoqi Battalion!"

"The exhausted divisions of our army are infantry battalions such as Wuzu battalion and Ruishi battalion, but there is still Xiaoqi battalion. If you capture the two counties, you can also accept the heart of Wuhuan in Shanggu County. The terrain of Jizhou is open, which is convenient for cavalry to fight. Why don't Tuqi worry about being invincible?"

"What's more, Minggong has now subdued the Xiongnu, so he can recruit righteous followers and enrich the army. The Xiongnu is good at shooting. As long as they are equipped with strong bows, why not suppress Jizhou's strong crossbows?"

Xu An's complexion changed slightly, from worry to joy.

"This... is where I went astray."

For so long, he has gotten into a dead end and fallen into a dead end.

I have always thought about using the Yellow Turban Army under my command to deal with the Han Army in Jizhou, but I forgot to consider the two tribes of Wuhuan and Xiongnu.

Now that Yan Zhong dialed it, Xu An suddenly realized.

"What Duke Ming has to do now is to expand the scale of the workshop and make every effort to build armor and weapons so that they can arm the Xiongnu and Wuhuan Yicong."

Xu An shook his head.

"The scale of the workshop is now approaching its limit, but the number of craftsmen in Bingzhou is only so small, and the foundation is still weak after all."

It is not so easy to recruit and train craftsmen, mainly due to the lack of population.

Now there is a shortage of people farming in Bingzhou, and there are no beggars in Bingzhou now. The beggars were gathered by the Yellow Turban Army, distributed farm tools, and concentrated on building villages.

Only a few lazy people who don't want to give birth still do begging, but those beggars have been blacklisted by the Eagle Guard, and as soon as they arrive somewhere, there will be Tiqi from the Eagle Guard to expose their true situation .

A slight sound of footsteps came, interrupting the words of Xu An and Yan Zhong.

There was a knock on the door, and then the voice of Xu An's personal guard commander Xu Da came in from outside the door.

"My lord, An Puyan, envoy of Wuhuan, and Tian Zhong, envoy of foreign affairs, are seeking to see you."

Xu An and Yan Zhong looked at each other, with puzzled expressions in their eyes. Both of them were a little confused. They didn't know why An Puyan and Tian Zhong suddenly arrived in Jinyang City at this time.

Shanggu Wuhuan has been informed of all plans to attack Dai and Shanggu counties.

Just a few days ago, Nanlou also wrote back, agreeing to the request.

Even as Zhang Yan said, Wuhuan in Shanggu kept his posture very low, and Nanlou was not as high-spirited as when he first met Tian Zhong.

The plan is that Xu An ordered Tian Zhong to take him there, but also asked Tian Zhong to go out with Nanlou as an envoy, so as to facilitate communication with Wuhuan.

But now the Yellow Turban Army hadn't set off yet, and Tian Zhong obviously still had a mission, but he returned to Jinyang City from Wuhuan's station in Shanggu with An Puyan, Wuhuan's envoy.
