Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 35 Exterminating the Yellow Turban No.1

Left Zhonglang General Huangfusong, Right Zhonglang General Zhu Jun, and Cavalier Captain Cao Cao all went to the Xun family's mansion directly after entering the city under the leadership of the prefect Yang Biao.

Huang Fusong and Zhu Jun, the two veterans, were silent, walking on their minds, while the young Cao Cao kept chasing Yang Biao to ask about the details of the battle outside the city.

The three of them joined forces and led more than 2 horsemen to pursue Bocai all the way. Because of the intense battle at the back end, Bocai's main force escaped.

On the way from Changshe westward to Yangzhai, there were yellow turban soldiers who fell behind and fell to the ground all the way. After the three of them settled the rear yellow turbans, they didn't care about rest, so they drove all night. It was another hard siege.

Especially Zhu Jun and Cao Cao, there are not many troops in the headquarters. Zhu Jun originally commanded 1 troops, but he was defeated by Bocai earlier, and lost more than half of them.

Cao Cao, the cavalry captain, actually only had [-] infantry and [-] cavalry. After tens of thousands of people fled and washed away, after the war, only about [-] infantry and [-] cavalry were gathered, including those with minor injuries. , It can also be said that the loss is more than half.

They pursued without delay to the city of Yangzhai, and what they saw suddenly made them puzzled.

The Bocai army was gone, and the battlefield one mile away from the city was in a mess, the dust was covered with blood, and it was extremely filthy. There were probably three or four thousand yellow scarf army corpses lying on the small battlefield.

It wasn't until they came to the gate of the city and saw the hanging head of Bo Cai that the three of them knew that the yellow scarf that Bo Cai wore no longer existed. At the same time, the three of them had the same problem together——

Who did it?
Yangdi garrison?It is impossible for those temporarily recruited volunteers who have not been trained to go out of the city to attack the brave Bocai.

Another support army of the imperial court?It was even more impossible. Luoyang's military strength was already stretched, and Cao Cao's four thousand soldiers were drawn from various ministries.

So what is going on?

Huangfusong and Zhu Jun have been meditating, or just walking, while Cao Cao is taking the trouble to ask Yang Biao.

"Wen Xian (Yang Biao's word), you can tell me clearly, what kind of reinforcements are they, and where did they come from?" Cao Cao faced Yang Biao, with his whole body sideways, striding forward with several people.

"Meng De is not in a hurry, he is in the Xunfu, and you will know it when you see him."

"Hey!" Cao Cao was very disappointed, turned around, and stepped forward.

One step is disappointment, one step is depression.

Disappointed at the loss of the head of the thief, depressed at the heavy losses in the battle.

As we walked, we arrived at the Xun Mansion. Xun Jian was already standing at the door to greet him. Today, the Xun Mansion is really flourishing. Not only did we welcome General Liu Qing, who defeated the Yellow Turban, but he also unexpectedly invited the new emperor The two Zhonglang generals.

"Huangfu Yizhen, Zhu Gongwei, the two of you are here, and they are so radiant!" Xun Jian said.

"Bo Ci is too polite, the name of Xun Dalong, the eight dragons of the Xun family, has long been heard like thunder!" Huangfu Song complimented with a smile.

Zhu Jun was born as a poor scholar, and he doesn't like to talk about scenes, so he just bowed his hands.

"This is..." Xun Jian looked at Cao Cao and asked.

"Cao Cao, Cao Mengde, is now the captain of the cavalry, and it is he who led the troops to support the Changsha this time."

"Mr. Boci, is the man with the broken yellow scarf in the house?" Cao Cao smiled politely, and began to ask questions that had puzzled him for a long time.

"Exactly, please come inside!"

Xun Jian greeted everyone and came to the living room. At this time, Liu Qing had already taken his seat, and Zhao Yun, Xun Yu, and Guo Jia were seated in the back row.

Seeing the visitor, Liu Qing also led the three of them to greet him.

The two groups of people bumped into each other and looked at each other curiously.

"Could it be that this is the general who chops waves? He's so young!" Huangfusong looked at Liu Qing, smiling happily, his gray and white beard fluttering, and crow's feet wrinkled around the corners of his eyes.

His joy was very genuine, as if he was genuinely happy that the big man had a young general, and it also made Liu Qing feel that the old general in front of him was extraordinarily amiable.

"Liu Qing, I have seen General Huangfu, General Zhu, and General Cao."

For the two older veterans, Liu Qing still admires them very much. It can be said that they are the pillars of the court at the end of the Han Dynasty. Not only did they quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion that swept the country in just a few months, Huangfusong also defended the border and crusade against the Qiang people. .

For Cao Mengde, Liu Qing also admired him very much in his previous life. Although he has many controversial points, his historical achievements such as unifying northern China, ending the war in the north, and conquest of Wuhuan cannot be erased.

"Since ancient times, a hero came out of a boy, Liu Qing. This name seems a little familiar."

Zhu Jun thought about it, but had no impression.

Both of them were officials outside the country, and after the turmoil of the Bohai King case subsided, few people would bring up the old matter again.

But when Cao Cao heard this name, his eyes lit up. Before sending troops to support him, although he did not participate in the court discussion, he had heard about everything that happened in the morning.

Liu Qing, the son of the King of Bohai, beheaded Peng Tuo in Chenliu and captured more than [-] enemies.

When Cao Cao first heard about it, it turned out to be this son. Six years ago, he was implicated in the accident of the Song family, and he was dismissed from the position of Dunqiu Lingyi. If we trace the root cause, it was still because of the King Bohai case.

"Could it be Liu Qing who killed Peng Tuo? A descendant of King Bohai?" Cao Cao asked.

Cao Cao's words immediately aroused the ideas of Huangfusong and Zhu Jun, and a trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of Xun Jian and Yang Biao beside them.

Behind Liu Qing, Guo Jia and Xun Yu also looked at each other tacitly - unexpected but reasonable.

"What does Meng De mean by this? Peng Tuo was beheaded?" Huangfu Song asked.

"We have fought all the way to this point, but we didn't inform the two generals in time. When Cao set off, Peng Tuo's head had already been sent to Luoyang. Chenliu's prefect Zhang Mengzhuo went to play. The one who killed Peng Tuo was Liu Qing, the son of King Bohai." Cao Cao said. Looking at the news from Chaotang that day, his eyes stayed on Liu Qing.

"Behead Peng Tuo first, and then Bocai. You are the first to kill the Yellow Turban!" Zhu Jun said.

"Gentlemen, generals, please take your seat before we talk!" Seeing several people standing and talking, Xun Jian urged the guests to take their seats.

Several people walked into the hall together, Huangfusong had the most seniority, so he naturally sat the chief on the right, but the three of them were stunned in the position of chief on the left.

According to his official position, Zhu Jun should be sitting. Now he is on the same level as Huangfusong, but his qualifications are slightly inferior, but he hesitated. Zhu Jun always felt that he didn't do much in this battle, and the loss was the biggest. Very shameless.

"Please, General Zhu!" Liu Qing directly motioned for him to take a seat.

"Your Excellency is No. 1 in removing the yellow scarves, and you are also a member of the Han family. You should sit down!" Zhu Jun didn't hesitate, and went directly to Huangfusong to sit next to him.

Cao Cao checked his words and took a seat on the left side, and gave up the seat on the left side to Liu Qing.

"The generals show love, and Qing will not refuse."

So, Liu Qing took the first seat.

However, the prefect Yang Biao, the dignified local leader, sat in the fifth seat.

While arranging people to open the meeting, Xun Jian led the topic, "Generals, today you can talk about the battle of Changsha and celebrate with us."

Zhu Jun was the first to speak, "The siege of the Changshe is all thanks to Meng De's support. If Meng De didn't make the fire, it would be difficult for Yizhen and I to break through."

Cao Cao looked suspicious, "What fire? Didn't you set the fire in the camp?"

As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, Huangfusong and Zhu Jun looked at each other for a while, and finally looked at Liu Qing together.
