Chapter 212 The Yellow Turban ends

"Hahaha. Unexpectedly, the three of us rushed so fast and fiercely at the beginning, but they were picked up by the later extraordinary. This boy really has some great luck.

On the contrary, Cao Cao did not lose anything, but made fun of it. Dong Zhuo was so angry that he gritted his steel teeth and shook his sleeves angrily. The leader didn't know where to go.

With the news of Zhang Jiao's death, the only remaining thieves in Guangzong City also lost their will to fight and knelt down and surrendered one after another. At this time, there was no resistance from any thieves in Guangzong City, and the court soldiers and horses officially occupied Guangzong City.

Two hours later, the battlefield was cleaned up, and the results were counted. This war, which is related to the future trend of the world, ended with a great victory on the court side.

The imperial army killed and injured less than thousands of people. Except for Liu Pi, the leader of the uninsignificant thief army, who led hundreds of soldiers and horses to escape, the thief army was almost completely destroyed, and the enemy army was killed by 60,000. At the same time, the only two remaining core figures of the Yellow Turban Thieves Army, Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao, were killed one after another, and Peng Tuo, the two major commanders, were also killed in battle.

As the leading general, Lu Zhi, of course, smiled happily. He opened the grain depot of Guangzong City, prepared for the banquet for days, and rewarded the soldiers of the three armies. At the same time, he quickly urged people to report Guangzongjie to the court.

However, when Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty received the good news of Guangzong, it was ten days later. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was overjoyed and extremely excited in the court. The pale dragon face, who was originally in poor spirit, suddenly became red and transparent, as if he was five or six years old. And he said in the court that he should reward Lu Zhi, Dong Zhuo, Wen Han, Cao Cao and other meritorious generals.

The name of Zhongwen Han was mentioned the most by Emperor Ling of Han. Because in the war report, his record was so excellent that the rest of the people were gloomy.

Whether it is the big array of the broken thief army, the flood of the thief army, or the killing of Zhang Jiao, these achievements have been praised by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. In addition, Wen Han's record of burning Cheng Zhiyuan's 50,000 thief army in Zhuo County a few months ago. The two heterosexual brothers under his command, Guan Yu, Xu Huang, have a strong fighting spirit, especially Guan Yu, Zhang Liang and Guan Hai died in his hands.

For a while, Wen Han's momentum was amazing. Emperor Ling of Han even intended to make Wen Han the second champion, but Emperor Ling of Han still tested it first to see the reaction of all officials.

Sure enough, there was a lot of opposition in the court, saying that although Wen Han made great contributions, he was too young and not stable enough. If he got the title of prince too early, I'm afraid he would get the right place.

He may also be proud of his achievements and become a big hidden danger. Moreover, Wen Han is only 23 now, and his potential is infinite. If he has great achievements in the future, he is already a prince. What kind of official can he be awarded? Some people even took out the deeds of Wei Qing's seizure of power in those years.

Wei Qing took power, but it was a big illness in the Han Dynasty. Emperor Han Ling immediately cut off the idea of making Wenhan a marquis. Put aside the rewards for him for the time being and discuss with the officials about the rewards of other meritorious generals.

Lu Zhi, as the leading general, was rewarded. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty made him the general of Zhenbei, and he served 2,000 households in the north. Dong Zhuo came to help with meritorious service, and even killed Peng Tuo, the commander of the thief army, sealed the general, and ate 1,500 households. Cao Cao had military achievements in Yingchuan and Guangzong. His generals Xia Houyuan, Xiahou Dun and Cao Chun killed the thieves' army Qu Shuai Bocai. Zhang Bao, the general of the thief's army, was awarded the rank of generals and ate a thousand households. The generals under his command had different rewards.

As for Liu Bei, who was called a descendant of the Han Dynasty by Lu Zhi and had the blood of Wang Sun, made Emperor Han Ling a headache. Because these days, there are so many people who want to take the throne, and they can do everything. Emperor Ling of Han didn't know whether Liu Bei's identity was true. And he will never order to check this genealogy for a person he has never met.

There is no other reason. There are enough grandsons and brothers in the Han Dynasty at this time. These people are all uneasy and kind-hearted people, and in order to appease them, Emperor Han Ling had to decentralized power to them. Therefore, even if Liu Bei really had the blood of Wang Sun, Emperor Han Ling was not too willing to admit it.

After Zhang Rang and some ministers did not want to make great contributions, Lu Zhi, who had become a military officer, continued to expand his power and said a lot of reasons together. He suggested that Emperor Han Ling put it aside first and wait until his identity was confirmed before making plans. This was very in line with the intention of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, and now he accepted their suggestion.

On the other side, the war between Nanyang and Dongjun has also changed dramatically.

A month ago, Qin Jie, the governor of Nanyang, fought with Zhang Mancheng and killed Zhang Mancheng. The Yellow Turban Army changed to take Zhao Hong as the commander and retreated to Wancheng with more than 100,000 people.

Later, Zhu Jun led the reinforcements to arrive. Soon, a fierce man named Sun Jian led a righteous and brave army to help and besieged Wancheng. Sun Jian was brave and had the ability to defeat him. In the crazy battle of the thieves defending the city, he fought bloodyly. He led the army to enter the city first. Later, the court soldiers and horses launched a general attack, advancing like ants and broke through the enemy.

Qu Shuai Zhao Hong was killed, and the remnants of the thief army were led by Han Zhong. They were surrounded by 18,000 soldiers, including Zhu Jun, Jingzhou assassin Xu Wei, Qin Jie and Sun Jian.

Because Zhu Jun was unable to break through the thief army for a while, he expanded the siege, built a fortification, and piled up earthy mountains to watch the city. Later, Zhu Jun had a plan. The army attacked the southwest with drums, and the yellow scarf army was led away. Zhu Jun personally led 5,000 elite soldiers to cover up the northeast, attacked the enemy's rear, and attacked the city. Han Zhong can only withdraw from the inner city.

The Yellow Turban Army was frustrated and its morale was low. At this time, the news of the defeat of Guangzong Zhangjiao came, and the thief army no longer had the intention to beg for surrendering the Han army. Both Xu Wei and Qin Jie think it is acceptable, but Zhu Jun believes that if it accepts it, it will benefit the people as a thief and beg for surrender. They do not accept and rush to attack the enemy, but they can't conquer it in several battles.

Zhu Jun climbed to Tushan to watch the Yellow Turban Army. He knew that the Yellow Turban Army had no way out and was forced to fight back, so he failed to conquer it. Zhu Jun then untied the besieged army. Han Zhong really went to war and was defeated by Zhu Jun. Zhu Jun chased Han Zhong for dozens of miles to the north and killed more than 10,000 people. Han Zhong surrendered. Qin Jie had always been at peace with Han Zhong, so he killed him.

This move made the Yellow Turban Army uneasy, and Sun Xia was promoted as a commander in Wanzhongcheng. Zhu Jun attacked urgently again, and Sun Xia was defeated. He chased the soldiers and horses to Jingshan in Xi'e, killed Sun Xia and the remnants of his army, and the Yellow Turban Army disbanded.

In this area of Nanyang, the thieves were calmed down.

On the other hand, Huangfu Song also led his army to arrive at Cangting, Dongjun, and killed more than 7,000 people. After Bu Ji's death, his soldiers and horses were led by Guan Hai, but Guan Hai did not have high prestige in the army. When he was in charge, he was powerless. He was pushed all the way by Huangfu Song and was defeated in a row.

Later, Liu Pi, who escaped from Guangzong, came. At the same time, he also brought the news of the death of Guangzong Zhang Jiao. Guan Hai was afraid that it would affect the heart of the army and asked Liu Pi to seal the news. However, Liu Pi had the intention to surrender to the court, rebelled with some small leaders, and conspired with Huangfu Song to ambush Guan Hai, and Guan Hai's army lost eighty-nine.

Guan Hai saw that he was unable to return to the sky, so he led the remnant army to withdraw from the East County. Huang Fu Song saw that Guan Hai's soldiers and horses were less than a few thousand, and fled into the deep mountains, so he let him escape. Later, because Huangfu Song did not like Liu Pi as a man, he took away his military power and ordered him to kill him. After his thieves learned about it, they did not dare to rebel and voluntarily obey Huangfu Song.

So far, with the end of the war in the East County, the Yellow Turban Uprising in September was maintained, like a flash in the pan and declared a failure!

Although the Yellow Turban Uprising finally failed and ended, some things are not so easy to end once they start. Although the chaos was calmed down, the prestige of the Han Dynasty suffered a serious blow. Although the Yellow Turban Sect led by Zhang Jiao withdrew from the stage of history, small rebellions continued to occur in various parts of the world, resulting in many scattered forces.

Such as Heishan, Baibo, Huanglong, Zuo, Niujiao, Wulu, Ligen, Li Damu, Zuoyu Zhangba, Bitterfly, Liu Shi, Pinghan, Dahong, Baijuan, Sili, Yuancheng, Luoshi, Leigong, Fuyun, Feiyan, Baijue, Yang Feng, Yudu, etc. There are thousands of people with small forces, and even hundreds of thousands of people with large forces. Like Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Thief.

Although the terminally ill Han court cut off a large tumor, all kinds of diseases came at the same time. The world is like a honeycomb with thousands of holes. The governors of each state and counties, because of the demise of the Yellow Turban Religion, they slightly let go of their hearts in their voices day and night, facing rebellion, and they were all very busy.

But they agreed with a very tacit understanding and did not report to the court for the time being. These people are all old and cunning and know how to deal with the world. Emperor Ling of Han was overjoyed at this time. If he suddenly gets this bad news, the greatest happiness is the most uncomfortable. It is inevitable to launch a huge anger. At that time, whoever is the first to go up will definitely suffer the greatest involvement. He is not afraid of losing his official, and he is most afraid that he will even lose his life. It will even involve the Shi clan.

Just half a month before the end of the Guangzong war, Lu Zhi returned to the court triumphantly after Lu Zhi explained and arranged the affairs of Guangzong. When they returned to Luoyang, the army of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, who ended the battle in Nanyang, Dong County, also returned one after another. The three armies returned to the court almost on the same day and were warmly welcomed by the people of Luoyang. The people of Luoyang decorated the streets and greeted each other all the way from the gate.
