In the seventh year of Guanghe, in mid-June, Nanyang County, Jingzhou.

Xu Huang and Liu Fanbing split into two routes, and when Liu Fan went north to Puyang, Xu Huang led 5,000 soldiers to run along the southwest of Yingchuan to Nanyang County.

The Qin Dynasty unified the world and divided the countries into counties, with a total of 36 counties. By the time of the "Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu" in the early Han Dynasty, the world was divided into fifty-four counties, and the strength of the counties at this time was still very strong, and it was almost the same as the provinces of later generations.

The county is large, which leads to the power of the king of Fan, and the famous minister Chao of Emperor Jing mistakenly thinks that "Wu Chu is anti, and if he does not cut it, he will be opposed", and insisted on cutting Tibet, although he finally became a scapegoat, but after Zhou Yafu pacified the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, the concept of Chao Cuo spread.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne and learned the lessons of the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, not only introduced the "Tui'en Order" to weaken and limit the power of the princes and kings, but also reduced the territory of each county, dividing more than 50 counties into hundreds of counties, and there were 1,100 to 1,400 counties in the country.

Until now, there have been many changes in the county.

During the reign of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, the Qin generals set up Nanyang County in the white land. It has a history of nearly 500 years.

Nanyang County is adjacent to Hanshui, close to the Qinling Mountains, and close to Funiu Mountain. It is located in the Nanyang Basin, with excellent topography and fertile fields, which is suitable for farming. It has jurisdiction over 37 counties with a household registration of one million. Neck and neck with Runan County, it is one of the largest counties in the world.

After Huangfu Song and Zhu Wei pacified Runan, they were ordered by the imperial court to lead more than 20,000 people to Nanyang County, stationed troops in Wuyin County, and looked west at Wancheng.

After Xu Huang arrived in Nanyang County, he stationed troops in Xi'e County and looked south to Wancheng. The county seat of Xi'e and Wancheng are less than 100 miles.

After Xu Xuan, the envoy of Jingzhou, and Qin Jie, the Taishou of Nanyang, received the news that Huangfu Song, Zhu Wei, and Xu Huang had come to support. Out of the city of Anzhong, he led the army into Jianyang County and approached Wancheng.

The army of Huangfu Song and Zhu Yan, the army of Xu Xuan, Qin Jie, and the army of Xu Huang formed a three-sided encirclement of the Yellow Turban of Wancheng.

On this day, Xu Xuan, the assassin of Jingzhou, ordered the heralds to Xu Huang, Huangfu Song and Zhu Wei to march to Wancheng together, and the three armies met outside Wancheng.

Two days later, the meeting was successful, and nearly 50,000 people from the three sides surrounded Wancheng.

This was a month earlier than the official attack on the Wancheng Yellow Turbans in history, and the lineup of officers and soldiers at this time was much stronger than in history.

In history, only Qin Jie, Xu Xuan, and Zhu Wei besieged the 100,000 officers and soldiers of the Yellow Turban, totaling 20,000. After nearly five months of hard fighting, he finally won the Yellow Turban.

Today, unlike in the past, there are more generals Xu Huang and Huangfu Song, and the number of troops has more than doubled. What's more, there is still an internal response that Liu Fan has already arranged in the city.

In Wancheng, too guarded in the house.

Zhao Hong, the new Yellow Turban Chief, sat on the main seat, and there were a number of Yellow Turban leaders below, and the atmosphere was dull.

"Report!" A voice was heard in the lobby, followed by a Yellow Turban soldier running into the lobby.

"Can the number of officers and soldiers be identified? Who will be their Lord? Is there any Liu Fan? Zhao Hong hurriedly asked the Yellow Turban Herald.

"General Qiqi, the four gates of Wancheng are all surrounded by officers and soldiers, and each gate has about 10,000 officers and soldiers. The generals of each gate are Zhu, Huangfu, Xu, and Qin. I didn't see Liu Zijiangqi. The Yellow Turban Herald replied to Zhao Hong in a panic.

"Zhu Wei, Huangfu Song, Xu Xuan, Qin Jie. Xu Xuan and Qin Jie alone are already difficult enough to deal with, and now there are two more veterans, and the number of soldiers and horses has more than doubled. Why do I care? The leader of the Yellow Turban below cried out sadly.

The fame of Huangfu Song and Zhu Wei is far from being comparable to Xu Xuan and Qin Jie, and their appearance has made the leaders of the Yellow Turbans worried.

In fact, the "Xu" character general flag is not one, but two, one is Xu Huang's, the other is Xu Xuan's, and the yellow turban did not expect that there were two generals surnamed Xu.

"Yingchuan and Runan rebels have suffered a fiasco, and Jizhou can't convey the orders of the great sages and good teachers, and now the officers and soldiers are pressing the border, do you have any countermeasures?" When Zhao Hong heard that there was no Liu Fan, he breathed a sigh of relief, and asked the leaders of the yellow scarves and Qu Shuai below.

Now the Yellow Turbans are not as active as they were when they first rebelled, they stuck to Wancheng, plus Yingchuan, Runan, Chen Guo and other counties missed, Zhang Jiao was surrounded in Guangzong, and the Yellow Turbans no longer have a sense of the overall situation.

The Nanyang Basin, a great terrain, was locked here by officers and soldiers. Now Nanyang Yellow Turban is like a trapped beast.

"Ten will surround it, and five will attack it. The strength of the officers and soldiers is far less than our army, how dare they besiege our city? Please give me 10,000 warriors, and while the officers and soldiers have not yet gained a firm foothold, raid their camps, and kill the spirit of the officers and soldiers. Han Zhong, the deputy general of the Nanyang Yellow Turban, asked Zhao Hong for his life.

Han Zhong has a reckless personality, and in history, because of his recklessness, he fell into Zhu Wei's strategy and was defeated. Even if he surrendered to the officers and soldiers, he was killed by Qin Jie.

Of course, Han Zhong may also be forced to be helpless, knowing that the Yellow Turban has no way out, so he can only try his best to fight.

Zhao Hong saw that Han Zhong's courage was commendable, and he just wanted to open his mouth to agree to Han Zhong's request, but was interrupted by another voice.

"By no means, the officers and generals are well versed in the art of war, and they blatantly set up camp outside the city, they must set up a net of heaven and earth, if our army goes out of the city, there will be defeat and no victory." Another Yellow Turban adjutantical general, Sun Xia, denied Han Zhong's statement on the spot.

"Sun Qushuai is reasonable, the morale of the righteous soldiers is not high, if the surprise attack fails, but suffers a fiasco, we will never have a chance again." Zhao Hong finally listened to Sun Xia's opinion and said cautiously.

After Zhang Mancheng attacked and killed Taishou Chu Gong, the morale of the Nanyang Yellow Turban was high, and Zhang Mancheng also struck while the iron was hot and attacked the counties of Nanyang, which was quite effective.

After Zhang Mancheng died in battle, the Nanyang Yellow Turbans collectively retreated to Wancheng, and their morale was low. They very much hoped that the other rebels would be victorious and come to Nanyang to rescue them. Yingchuan Bo was attacked and killed by Liu Fan, and he didn't know anything about the situation outside, and the Yellow Turban soldiers had a feeling of being discouraged.

"What is Sun Qushuai's opinion? The officers and soldiers are so deceitful that we can't sit idly by! Han Zhong asked Sun Xia, who denied his thinking, which made him very dissatisfied.

Han Zhong thought that the only way to make a desperate bet and take advantage of the morale of his own side to fight with the Han army was the best strategy.

"Although the strength of the officers and soldiers is inferior to our army, but the armor and weapons are excellent, there is very little armor in our army, and the weapons are far inferior to the weapons of the officers and soldiers. Our army has no chance of winning in the field, and only by defending the city can we level the advantages and disadvantages of both sides. Our army of 100,000 people has sent heavy troops to guard the city wall day and night to prevent the Han army from sneaking attack. Moreover, the grain and grass hoarded by our army in Wancheng can last for a long time, and there is no need to worry about the problem of grain and grass. The battle pays attention to a drum of energy, the Han army can not attack for a long time, will inevitably produce a cowardly heart, then our army will be a counterattack, who will kill the deer? Still don't know? After pondering and meditating, Sun Xia replied to the leaders of the Yellow Turban.

The Yellow Turbans plundered many county towns in Nanyang, and the food was indeed sufficient, but Sun Xia ignored the number of people in Nanyang.

100,000 people! And he is a 100,000-year-old man. Historically, after the Nanyang Yellow Turban held on to Wancheng for four months, the food was exhausted.

Zhao Hong, Han Zhong, and Sun Xia successively succeeded Zhang Mancheng as the coach of Nanyang Yellow Turban, but they were all defeated in battle.

Things are different now.
