Outside the government office, there was another scattered footsteps.

A civil servant was brave enough to look out through the window, and saw another team of Yellow Turban Army archers holding a long-term worker rushing towards him. The governor outside the government office was almost surrounded and could not be vented. Tower shields were erected at the exits everywhere, and long spears like forests stood behind the shields, and knights coming and going were galloping on the streets.

The civil servant was still in fear after retracting his gaze. He looked at Zhang Yi who was resting beside the pillars and beams, and persuaded him with a tough forehead: "Eunuch, now the 'moth thief' is powerful, so it is better to temporarily withdraw from Jinyang and return to the north to dispatch troops."

Zhang Yi was not biased, and looked at the clerk with disdain and sneered: "All the children of Guo in Taiyuan are so timid?"

The clerk's face turned red and did not refute Zhang Yi's words after all.

Zhang Yi ignored the civil servant anymore. He stood up and frowned and looked into the distance. It had been a long time since he could see the smoke and dust and fire.

After all, Zhang Yi was disappointed. Zhao Qi and Sun Fu led their troops to the direction of the granary and arsenal. They fled directly to the west city with their troops.

...

Xu An's big banner did not continue to go to the city, but stayed on the city tower of Dongcheng.

Although Jinyang City has been destroyed, it is not a place to stay for a long time. The capital of a state was captured by bandits, and the Han army would never let it go, and it would inevitably cause a greater rebound until Jinyang City is recaptured.

This is also one of the reasons why Xu An only besieged Zhang Yi and did not kill Zhang Yi in the government office. The defeat and death of the governor of a state will inevitably lead to crazy revenge from the Han army.

Although the Yellow Turban Army had long been defined as a rebel and everyone in the world was punished, in fact, after the death of the three brothers Zhang Jiao, the Yellow Turban Army still had activities throughout the country.

After Zhang Yan unified the Taihang Mountains, all counties and counties north of the Yellow River were invaded, but the court was unable to send troops to encircle and suppress them.

Zhang Yan even sent an envoy to the capital Luoyang and wrote a letter to the court to request surrender. Emperor Ling of Han also appointed Zhang Yan as the General of the Punishment and asked him to manage administrative and public security affairs in the mountainous areas north of the Yellow River. He could recommend filial and honest people to the court every year and send a clerk to Luoyang to report.

However, at this time, Zhang Yan was called the "Black Mountain Bandit".

There were also former Yellow Turban Army leaders such as Guo Tai and others who were invaded in Baibo Valley, Xihe, and they were called the "Baibo Army" by the court.

Then in the fifth year of Zhongping (188 AD), the Yellow Turban Army of Gepi, Runan County rose again and attacked the counties and counties.

In October, in Qingzhou and Xuzhou Yellow Turbans rose again and led to the counties and counties.

In November, the Han court sent Bao Hong to attack the most popular Gebi Yellow Turbans. The two sides fought in Gebi, and Bao Hong's army was defeated.

The Yellow Turban tribes were rising one after another. Although the momentum was not as strong as the first Yellow Turban Rebellion, it caused a headache for the Han Dynasty.

In order to effectively suppress the uprising, in March of the fifth year of Zhongping, Emperor Ling accepted the suggestion of Taichang Liu Yan and changed some governors to provincial governors, and were appointed as royal family members or important officials, so that they could have the power of local military and government, so as to strengthen the strength of local governments, and easier control of local governments, and effectively suppress the remnants of the Yellow Turbans.

It is precisely because Emperor Ling of Han delegated power that local troops were able to gain power.

It was the later generations that the heroes were in power, attacking each other and competing for the Central Plains in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

As for the other reason why he did not kill Zhang Yi, Xu An also knew who Zhang Yi took over as the governor of Bingzhou afterwards.

In history, the next Bingzhou governor after Zhang Yi's death was Ding Yuan. Although Xu An didn't know whether his killing Zhang Yi in advance would change history, as long as there was a possibility, he did not want Ding Yuan to become the governor of Bingzhou.

Not to mention Ding Yuan himself is quite brave, just talking about Lu Bu and Zhang Liao under Ding Yuan's command, Xu An extinguished the idea of ​​killing Zhang Yi.

Sun Jian alone made the entire Guangzong Yellow Turban Army group in a mess, and it was as unstoppable as his name was the Jiangdong tiger.

Xu An still remembers the oppressive feeling when Zhang He and Yan Liang rushed towards him. The armored guards under his command were almost not his own enemy. He barely kept Zhang He with his strong bow and crossbow.

As for Yan Liang, not to mention that he and Wen Chou defeated the palace army arranged by Zhang Yan, it would be terrifying enough to say that Yan Liang alone killed the Yellow Turban Army’s cavalry formation and escaped from the encirclement.

Although the Yellow Turban Army under Xu An is not a powerful army in a long battle, it is not a decoration of clay, plastic and paper.

In the era of cold weapons, these fierce generals were on the battlefield, and killing generals and catching flags had a very great effect on their morale.

If you put on strong armor and bring a large number of personal guards, facing the Yellow Turban Army, which lacks armor and cavalry, it will undoubtedly cause a lot of damage to it, and even trigger a chain reaction, leading to the collapse of the army.

This is not sensational or a foolish dream. In the battle of Guangzong, the crazy assault of Sun Jian and the four generals of Jiangdong triggered the collapse of the army. However, Zhang Liang did not retreat and reinvigorated the morale of the Yellow Turban Army again. He relied on the fanatical Huang Angel and had a large number of troops to stop the collapse.

There are also records in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Shao and Bu attacked Zhang Yan in Changshan. Yan had more than 10,000 elite soldiers and thousands of cavalry.

Bu Chang was a good horse, named Chitu, who was able to rush to the city and fly to the trenches. With his strong general Cheng Lian, Wei Yue and dozens of cavalrymen galloped to the Yan formation. One day, they were beheaded and out.

After fighting for more than ten days, he defeated the Yan army.

Xu An really doesn't want to become Zhang Yan's role.

At this time, the main force of the Han army was delayed by Beigong Boyu and others and could not move in the Sanfu area, but Xu An knew that it would not take long. In November this year, Beigong Boyu would be defeated by Zhang Wen in Meiyang.

It's funny to say that one night in November, a meteor crossed the sky, and the light shone into the rebel camp, and the donkeys and horses were neighing. The rebels thought this was an ominous sign and prepared to retreat.

Then Dong Zhuo and Youfufeng Bao Hong attacked together, defeated the rebels and beheaded thousands of levels. The danger in the Sanfu area was officially lifted.

It is already early September, and even if Xu An takes up Jinyang, he will only have more than two months of stable time at most.

This only counts the main forces of the Han Dynasty, and does not count the border troops in the northern part of Bingzhou.

Although the Yellow Turban Army had the advantage of cavalry in this battle of Jinyang, Bingzhou actually had a large number of cavalry on the border. As long as these Bingzhou troops headed south, a large number of Han cavalry would instantly control the entire battle situation, making Jinyang City an isolated city and trap Xu An in death in Jinyang.

Jinyang City is now like a chicken rib, and it is a pity to eat it.

At this stage, Xu An's strength is not enough to make him swallow the big cake of Jinyang. He still needs to wait for the rebels that have risen from all over the country to consume the power of the Han Empire.

When the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army resurfaced in the fifth year of Zhongping, and when the heroes competed.

So now there is only one choice for Xu An, that is, just like those nomadic peoples on the grassland, they can just grab it and run away.

At this time, a rapid sound of horse hooves on the walls of Dongcheng came from far to near. A scout of the Yellow Turban Army turned over and dismounted and hurried up to the city tower.

"Report that our army has controlled the granary and arsenal in Jinyang City, and the Chinese military officials are counting. As for the aristocratic families in the city mentioned by the general, Xu Zhengwei has led his troops to encircle all their residences according to the military order."
