Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Huang Fusong sent a letter to Luoyang in person, hoping that the court would allow him to lead his troops to Nanyang, join forces with his old friend Zhu Jun, and quell Zhang Mancheng's rebellion.

However, before waiting for the imperial edict, Huang Fusong did not sit idle. Instead, he split up with Cao Cao and Liu Ye to pursue the remnants of Bocai, attacking the Yellow Turban thieves of Runan and Chen, and killed Peng Tuo and put down the three counties in one fell swoop. .

On the first day of August, Cangting.

More than ten thousand yellow turban thief ran over with a panic expression, his face full of shock.

Breathlessly, Bu Ji wiped a handful of sweat from his forehead, looked at the panicked faces around him, and couldn't help but angrily said: "What are you afraid of? We are out of danger now, so we can hide in the mountains and wait for the officers and soldiers. Just leave and come out."

boom!

The sound of horses' hoofs shook, and a cavalryman suddenly came out from the side, shouting to kill.

"Kill, catch Bu Ji alive!"

"Kill the thief, quell the rebellion!"

It turned out that Liu Ye had been lying in ambush all around with hundreds of horses long ago, and had been hiding. The army of Bu Ji was deliberately driven to this place by the army. The cavalry immediately slammed out and took only the flag of Bu Ji.

The Yellow Turban thief was like a bird with a frightened bow. When Liu Ye's cavalry rushed, he suddenly got confused.

At this moment, a screaming arrow rose into the sky, making a sharp noise in the air, and Bu's expression changed drastically.

"kill!"

Suddenly, there were shouts and killings from all directions, and the two flags were clearly visible on the field, with the word Cao on one side and the word Huangfu on the other.

The cavalry rushed to and fro, tightly entwining more than 10,000 Yellow Turban thieves, while Cao Cao's and Huangfu Song's tribe quickly approached. Eight thousand foot soldiers formed a tight formation, and a row of shield walls rushed up.

The officers and soldiers are far better than the Yellow Turbans in terms of their level and equipment, and the commanding generals are Liu Ye, Cao Cao, Huangfusong and other famous generals. The Yellow Turbans are naturally crushed. Xiahou Dun even rushed in with the cavalry, rushing all the way. Under the banner of Bu Ji, he shot Bu Ji under the horse.

The Yellow Turban thieves fled thousands of people before the officers and soldiers were surrounded on all sides, and the remaining thousands were all surrounded.

However, although the remaining 7,000 Yellow Turban thieves were afraid, none of them surrendered. They still held weapons tightly in their hands and watched the officers and soldiers nervously. The fact that Huangfu Song killed one hundred thousand Yellow Turban thieves and cast them into Jingguan has spread. The Yellow Turban thief already knew that Huangfusong was an out-and-out "killer", so he refused to surrender.

Seeing this scene, Huangfusong's expression remained unchanged, and he waved his hand and ordered: "All kill."

Eight thousand Han troops followed their orders. Archers opened their bows and struck the strings. A rain of arrows fell down. The swordsmen and shieldmen erected a shield wall, and the spearmen killed them one by one. More than seven thousand Yellow Turban thieves were all killed. , Floating corpses everywhere.

Liu Ye casually wiped the blood on his palm with his clothes. Looking back, he saw Huangfu Song looking down at a letter, his brows frowned.

Liu Ye immediately rode out from the Yellow Turban thieves and came to Huangfu Song.

"General Lang, what are you looking at?"

Huangfu smiled slightly, and did not answer Liu Ye, but shouted at Cao Cao in the distance: "Meng De, come quickly."

Cao Cao rushed over, rolled over and dismounted, and said with a smile: "General Lang summons the final general, is there a happy event?"

Huangfu smiled and said, "I really made you right, Cao Mengde listened to it."

Cao Cao looked serious: "The last general leads the decree." Although he obeyed the imperial decree, Cao Cao did not bow down and worship. Since Emperor Wenwen toured Zhou Yafu's Xiliu barracks, Zhou Yafu replied with the sentence "Forgive the last general in his armor and cannot salute." Han soldiers seldom bowed down before seeing the emperor.

"The emperor's order said, Cao Cao, the captain of the riding captain, has done a good job in breaking the thieves, and he is gratified that the Qingzhou thieves have not settled, and Cao Cao is the prime minister of Jinan.

Huang Fusong finished speaking and smiled slightly at Cao Cao: "Meng De, congratulations to you, as the prime minister of Jinan."

Cao Cao stood up, clasped his fist and said, "Thank you for your respect, but I don't know where the court will appoint Yuqing and Lang to go?"

Huangfu smiled and said: "Dong Zhongying was defeated and the situation in Hebei was eroded. The court ordered me to take over Dong Zhuo's post and go to Hebei District to settle the Zhangjiao Rebellion."

He glanced at Liu Ye: "Yuqing is a rare fierce general in the world. Naturally, he will go to Hebei with me to kill thieves and calm the chaos."

Cao Cao sighed, his expression a little bit sad: "It's been a pleasure to follow Lang Jiang and Yuqing to break the thief these few days, but it's a pity that I can't build a great cause together."

Liu Ye laughed and said, "Brother Meng De, why worry, as long as the heart is in one place, he will work for the big man no matter where he is.

Cao Cao nodded: "Yuqing said that."

Liu Ye said sternly: "There is one thing that you want to entrust to Brother Meng De."

Cao Cao saw Liu Ye's rigorous expression, and immediately said with a serious face: "Yuqing, please say that if a certain can do it, he will not shirk half a point."

"A certain started in Licheng, and he has a confidant named Wude in Licheng. If Brother Meng De arrives in Jinan, he can take care of him or two. If the thief in Jinan is undecided, he can also deploy troops from Wude to quell the rebellion."

Originally Liu Ye started from Licheng and had a total of 3,000 soldiers and horses. However, there were less than a thousand soldiers willing to follow him. Although the rest were unwilling to leave their hometowns, they were all his cronies at any rate, and they would definitely be useful in the future.

What's more, the original Jinan state minister had offended himself miserably. When he returned to Jinan, although he was already far away from Licheng, he would inevitably have to attack his old men. Now that Cao Cao took over as Jinan state minister, he You can breathe a sigh of relief.

Cao Cao laughed when he heard this: "Yuqing must be another brave general under Yuqing's command. Certain nature is well protected."

After all, Liu Ye hand-written a letter to Cao Cao. When Cao Cao took office in Jinan, he would naturally know the letter to Wu De.

When Cao Cao left to serve as the prime minister of Jinan, it was naturally impossible to take away all the more than a thousand officers and soldiers, only the Xiahou brothers and more than a hundred riders, and all the remaining men and horses were entrusted to Huangfu Song. After all, Huangfu Song was about to go north to Jizhou to Ping Zhang Horn, now it's the time when it is hiring people, so the soldiers are naturally too few but not too many.

Huangfusong and Liu Ye took a rest in Cangting, and immediately went north. After all, with Dong Zhuo's defeat, there was no officer north of the Yellow River that could contend with the Yellow Turban thief. Now the battle situation in Hebei is rotten, Huangfusong naturally wants to fight quickly. The sooner the better.

Because most of the Yellow Turban thieves in the Central Plains were defeated, and Huangfusong's blatant display of the name, many yellow Turban thieves were frightened when they saw the word "Huangfu", so the road was smooth.

The Huangfu Song Army marched all the way hurriedly and reached the north of the Yellow River on the seventh day of August, but just before reaching Guangzong, he received good news.

Zhang Jiao is dead.
