Xiliang Iron Ride

Chapter 53 The Death of the Yellow Turban 4

Jia Rong did not pull down his own kung fu, and he also trained hard every day. He has made great progress in riding, military boxing, and step fighting, especially immediately. In short, today's Jia Rong is not comparable to the past, and he can also play well on the horse and Hua Xiong.

As in the past, Jia Rong found that his strength was getting stronger and stronger. Is this his greatest advantage as a traveler? Jia Rong couldn't help laughing bitterly. It's always good to have a little advantage. As the saying goes, it's good to reduce ten times.

In Luyang, the Han Emperor received a victory memorial from Huangfu Song and a fast horse. When he saw the heads of Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang, he suddenly smiled and relieved his worries for several months. Since Zhang Jiao led the uprising and attacked the city all the way, he was like a broken bamboo. He was about to attack the capital. Liu Hong, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, couldn't eat well. No one can sleep well. Although the Emperor of Han was very greedy for money, he also understood the truth that there was nothing in the country, let alone that the Han Dynasty was lost to his own hands. Therefore, the Emperor Han had changed his previous style for several months. Every morning, he actively listened to the advice of the officials and became a wise king.

After receiving the victory of Huangfu Song, the Emperor of Han almost jumped up happily, but he still tried his best to stop himself and was going to the court. The Emperor of Han immediately issued an order: Huangfu Song was meritorious in the battle and was awarded the title of Marquis of the capital, and all the officers and soldiers were promoted to the first level. At the same time, he was also rewarded with Huangfu Song's daughter, a thousand pieces of cloth, and a cart of good wine, which was sent to Guangzong on the same day. The Emperor of Han was also very kind-hearted when he was happy. Although the war was tense, there was a lot of money in the Wanjin Hall of Emperor of the Han Dynasty.

The happy Emperor of the Han Dynasty was also rare and generous. He ordered to hold a banquet in the palace at night and invite all officials to the banquet. At the same time, he ordered the heads of Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang to hang on the gate, so that people all over the world could see the prestige of the Han court.

The officials were also very happy to hear the news. They were not only happy to kill Zhang Liang and Zhang Jiao, but also to hold a banquet for the Emperor of Han. The Emperor of Han had not held a banquet for some years. The officials were basically taken over by the Emperor of Han, and they all thought about how to have a good meal at night.

The imperial edict spread to Guangzong, and the morale of the Han army was even higher. The soldiers fought not only to protect their country, but also to be promoted.

Huangfu Song was very generous. He divided the gold given to him by the Han emperor to his generals, and also rewarded all the cloth to the generals. The wine was drunk by the three armies, and gold could be exchanged for five baht.

Huangfu Song did not forget his promise and rewarded the yellow scarf soldiers who had helped him before. After a warning, he repatriated them to his hometown.

After that, Huangfu Song settled the people in the city and left a general to guard the newly recovered Guangzong, so as to avoid the resurgence of the remnants of the yellow scarf. The governor of Guangzong appointed by the court is coming here.

Later, Huangfu Song rectified the soldiers and left Guangzong City.

Huangfu Song led the soldiers all the way to Julu County. Julu was the site of Zhang Jiao's uprising, that is, Zhang Jiao's base camp, so it was also the most tenacious stronghold.

Today's Yellow Turban Army has been defeated, even the most powerful giant deer in the Yellow Turban. The Yellow Turban Army led by Zhang Bao has been repeatedly defeated and has no choice but to retreat to Quyang County.

Huangfu Song and Julu Taishou Feng Yibing surrounded the three outer three layers in Quyang County. At this time, when the morale of the Han army was high, the death of the yellow scarf thief Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang's successively made the morale of the yellow scarf soldiers in Quyang County not very high.

Anyway, Julu is also Zhang Jiao's base camp. Zhang Bao is also quite talented. The imperial army is quite good and treats soldiers very well. Therefore, although the city of Quyang County is small, there is no desertion incident. It is also comparable to that of the Han army outside the city, attacking and defending. It's also beautiful.

After besieging Quyang County for more than a month, the Han army launched more than a dozen attacks, but Quyang County could not be captured. Zhang Bao's resistance was quite stubborn. Zhang Bao took the lead in every battle. Huangfu Song was very glad that the defenders of Guangzong at the beginning were not Zhang Bao, otherwise it would be difficult to break the siege for a year.

Hanting also wanted to end the war quickly and constantly urged Huangfu Song to take down Quyang County as soon as possible.

Huangfu Song racked his brains to find a way, but he couldn't think of a perfect solution; he had no choice but to gather the generals.

After a cup of tea, the generals who received the order all came to the Chinese army tent where Huangfu Song was located.

Seeing that all the generals had arrived, Huangfu Song got up from the handsome seat and said, "The emperor has repeatedly urged to break through Quyang County as soon as possible. Recently, the generals have also seen that the resistance of the Yellow Turban Army in Quyang County is very fierce, and our army has also fought repeatedly. I don't know what good plans the generals have. Let's listen to it."

As soon as the words fell, the generals whispered to each other.

At this time, Sun Jian came out from among the generals and arched his hand to Huang Fu Song and said, "Sun Jian is not talented. He is willing to lead the people to attack the city in person tomorrow. He will not break this city. He is willing to raise his head to see him."

Huangfu Song nodded with satisfaction. Since the battle with the Yellow Turban, Huangfu Song has appreciated Sun Jian's bravery very much, and he took the lead in every battle.

However, bravery alone can't solve the problem, nor can it hit the enthusiasm of his generals. Huang Fu Song said, "The bravery of Wentai is very commendable. If you attack the city tomorrow, you will take Wentai as the vanguard."

Sun Jian returned to his seat with satisfaction.

Seeing that Huangfu Song praised Sun Jian so much, Zhang Fei behind Liu Bei was unwilling. Liu Bei pressed Zhang Fei, who was about to attack, got up and saluted Huang Fu Song and said, "General, the number of our army is more than the yellow scarf in the city. The morale is higher than that of the yellow scarf. It is inferior and incompetent. There is a plan."

Huangfu Song hurriedly said, "Xuande, tell me quickly."

Liu Bei's eyes flashed with confidence and said slowly, "Our army can attack the yellow scarf in the city in turn, so that the yellow scarf army can't rest, so that the soldiers are exhausted. In this way, the day of breaking the city is just around the corner."

After listening to Liu Bei's plan, Huangfu Song thought for a long time and said, "Just use Xuande's plan!" Often the most primitive method may be the best.

Seeing that Huangfu Song had adopted his own strategy, Liu Bei was also very happy, and Zhang Fei looked at Sun Jian like a demonstration.

Huangfu Song divided the Han army into four parts and took turns to attack Quyang County.

Ten days later, the Yellow Turban Army in the city can fall asleep as soon as it touches the wall. In the past ten days, the Yellow Turban Army has suffered a great crime. They can't eat well and sleep well. They are eating, but they are called by the officer to guard the city.

Under the fierce attack of the Han army, Quyang County was broken. Zhang Bao led his troops to resist desperately and was killed by the Han army in the chaos.

With the defeat of Quyang by the Han army and the defeat of Zhang Bao, it means that the yellow scarf in September of the uprising was completely defeated, and the Han Dynasty was preserved.

After counting the losses and seizures of the Han army, Huangfu Song immediately reported his victory to the Han court.

The news spread to Luyang, and the Emperor of Han was overjoyed. He called the sky to bless the Han Dynasty, comforted the temple, and ordered the civil and military officials to celebrate for three days. At the same time, he appointed Huangfu Song as the herdsman of Jizhou, the Marquis of Huaili, rewarded tens of thousands of gold, and ate tens of thousands of households, and the rest of the generals were rewarded.

The rest of the local small yellow scarf army will be cleaned up by state pastorals.

The most unlucky one is Dong Zhuo. There is no benefit. He has been busy for so long. Although Dong Zhuo behaved very actively in this break in Hedong and helped Hanting eliminate the remnants of the nearby yellow scarf, the Han Emperor still did not give any reward to the Xiliang army. He just sent Dong Zhuo away after a hard work. Dong Zhuo was chased back to Xiliang in dismay and continued to be his overlord.

Looking at Dong Zhuo, who was constantly angry, Li Ru came forward and advised, "Master, don't be angry. This time, our Xiliang army failed to fight. It is lucky that the Emperor Han did not punish him. Besides, the lord is still a Zhonglang general of the imperial court, and it is not without gain. In Confucianism's opinion, the world is bound to be in chaos!"

Dong Zhuo couldn't help asking, "What a mess? What's the solution to this?"

Li Ru said slowly: "The lord has been busy fighting with the yellow scarf rebels and does not know anything about the imperial edict of the court. The Emperor of Han has long decreed that the pastoral of a state has full power to control the military and political power of a state, that is to say, the pastoralistrate has the right to deal with the army of a state."

Dong Zhuo looked confused and said, "What should I do?"

"The lord can take this opportunity to return to Liangzhou to recruit troops and horses. If it is not expected by Confucianism, the world will be in chaos. This move of the Emperor of Han will make the Han court fall into a situation of strong ministers and weak kings, and then there will be a forest of princes..." Li Ru whispered in Dong Zhuo's ear.

"At that time, the world will be in chaos, and the master can show his fists and feet. Our Xiliang army is all elite. At that time, the master will raise the elite teacher, Qingjun's side, kill treachery, and achieve immortal fame." Li Ru said with a glow of excitement in his eyes, as if that day had come.

After listening to Li Ru's analysis, Dong Zhuo was overjoyed and ordered the soldiers to prepare and return to Xiliang.

Liu Bei was also awarded the title of Anxi County Lieutenant because of his meritorious service in the battle, which is not comparable to Liu Bei's reputation. At the beginning, Liu Bei led his troops to resist the yellow scarf. The yellow scarf he killed all the way threw away his armor. There were also many enemy generals who were beheaded, but he was only awarded the title of a county lieutenant. There were people in the court who were good officials. Although he was the king of Zhongshan, he was exiled. One also lost his title.

Lu Zhi, Liu Bei's mentor, served in the Han court, but Lu Zhi had just been pardoned. He had no right to speak and did not take care of his disciple.

Sun Jian was promoted to another Sima by Zuo Jun Sima because he fought with Zhu Jun and Huang Fu Song, and followed Huang Fu Song to work.

The rest of the soldiers who have made great achievements in the battle were rewarded, and Jia Rong also faded from the sight of the Hanting by the great honor of the Fire Chief Society and did not get any reward.

The country of the Han Dynasty was able to survive, which was the happiest of those scholars and doctors. During the war, it did not affect their money. They hoarded grain, raised food prices, sold horses, etc. In short, after the war, they made a lot of money.

The most painful thing is the people at the bottom. The country is constantly fighting, and the war needs food to support it. The army is needed to fight. The Han Emperor raised taxes and forcibly levied soldiers. Many people were displaced because of excessive taxes and drought. The people had no choice but to eat. They went far away from home, and there were starved bones on the road. The situation can also be seen everywhere.
