In the first year of Zhongping, at the end of October 184, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun joined forces and entered the siege of Julu.

At the beginning of November, the Han army and the Yellow Turban fought outside the city of Pingjiao, cutting more than 10,000 ranks, capturing Pingjiao, Yang's and Anxiang fled when they heard the news, and connected the three counties of Julu County.

Subsequently, the Han army entered the siege of Yecheng, besieged more than 100,000 yellow scarves led by Zhang Baosuo in the city, cut off the grain and grass in various places, and rushed to the ordnance of the city.

At the end of November, the Yellow Turbans broke through several times, but were all defeated back into the city by the Han army, and the Yellow Turbans ran out of grain and grass.

In the middle of December, there was nothing to eat in Yecheng, and there were no more utensils to guard.

In the middle of October, the Han army attacked the city three times, and the rolling stones and sassal wood in the city were exhausted, and the corpses were thrown down as stones. Zhang Bao really had nothing to do, so he ordered people to tear down the female walls on the city wall, but he could no longer resist the Han army, but the Han army who attacked the city several times was also the same as exchanging injuries for lives, and his vitality was greatly damaged, and he could no longer organize a large-scale attack.

At the end of December, things took a turn for the worse, more than half of the people in the city starved to death, and the hungry Yellow Turbans broke out into civil strife, Zhang Bao was killed in the rebellion, and the rest fled between the mountains and Daze to become bandits.

The mighty Yellow Turban Rebellion is over.

The imperial court worshiped Huangfu Song as the general of the chariot and cavalry, led the Jizhou pastor, and crowned the Marquis of Huaili, this warrior from Liangzhou reached the peak of his political career.

He was also the first courtier to lead the state pastor during Liu Hong's period.

Ma Yue led the wounded soldiers all the way slowly, and drove the tail of the first year of Zhongping into Sizhou, accompanied by the land of fertile fields that can never be seen in Yingchuan, Jizhou, and Yanzhou, all the way to the Duting outside Luoyang City to hand over the wounded soldiers to He Jin, unloaded the burden on his shoulders, and before he had time to rest, he saw the envoy of the Son of Heaven.

Old acquaintances, Jianshuo.

"Brother Ma, you have returned triumphantly, congratulations."

Goodbye Jian Shuo, the same majestic and tall, but there is a little more arrogance between his eyebrows, but he still has no affection for Ma Yue.

Ma Yue looked at Jian Shuo's arrogance and was a little displeased, but he didn't say anything on his face, and then smiled at Jian Shuo: "This time I really walked between life and death, it seems that Brother Jian also had an opportunity, step by step?" ”

Jian Shuo nodded with a smile, this time he confirmed the 'Brother Jian' in Ma Yue's mouth, and then said to Ma Yue: "Ma Changshui, Your Majesty is waiting for you in the garden, go with the slave." ”

Ma Yue's injuries are not yet complete, although Uncle Liu and Liu Zhong have served a lot when they have rested in Ren County for a few days, but after all, the big man is not so meticulous, Ma Yue looked up and down, and said with a smile: "Brother Jian, you look at the appearance of a certain family to face the saint, is it appropriate?" ”

At this time, Ma Yue was still wearing armor, his captain's armor was damaged in the battle, and at this time he was wearing a military armor, his scarf was lost in the melee, and his hair was torn off at random and tied in broken steps, this costume was full of rough heroic temperament, but it was not suitable to meet His Majesty.

Jian Shuo smiled, helped Ma Yue to get on the horse without saying anything, and then ordered someone to lead Ma Yue away, and he also got on the horse and said: "The appearance of the captain is just right, and Your Majesty doesn't fancy our red tape, let's go!" ”

Ma Yue frowned lightly on the horse, he was unhappy with Jian Shuo's big heart, when he first arrived in Luoyang, he heard that Jian Shuo was now awarded the Holy Favor, commanding the Xiyuan cavalry, and the five armies and seven departments could speak. Before he saw Jian Shuo, he was still a little happy for Jian Shuo, but now he is not happy at all.

When Ma Yuanyi was arrested, Jian Shuo respectfully called himself 'General Ma', he remembered it clearly.

The garrison on the riverside of Dongjun, how close Jian Shuo was to himself when he supervised the army, and he called his brother no official position, and he also remembered it vividly.

Now that Jian Shuo has become bigger, he is in charge of the Xiyuan guards, and his status has risen, so it doesn't matter if he is disrespectful and unkind to himself, he actually dragged himself on the horse, and let himself enter the Xiyuan face saint with such a depressed appearance, which made him have a gap in his heart.

The court has a lot of resentment against the ten permanent servants, and Liu Hong has already killed two. Although the Ten Standing Servants are still strong, they can't help him, and they are going downhill. And he and Jian Shuo are walking uphill, Jian Shuo has already gotten the fruit, and he hasn't, seeing that he has been called into Xiyuan as soon as he enters Luoyang, Zhang Liang's head is only afraid that it will be more meaningful to him than when he was alive.

There is only one conclusion.

I'm afraid that in the next few years, I will be the only one who will compete with Jian Shuo for favor.

In other words, in the next few years, Jian Shuo is the only one who can compete with himself for favor!

In fact, Ma Yue is wrong to blame Jian Shuo, if he had returned to Luoyang for a month earlier, he would have known that the best person in the entire Luoyang City was Jian Shuo, and he had not done anything less to look at the protégé of the three princes with his nose, and he had done nothing less about the ten permanent servants with his buttocks. He didn't even buy the account of the general He Jin, but everyone's evaluation of him was not bad, because this person only had a good face after gaining power, although he didn't do anything good, he didn't instruct his protégé to do anything bad. It's just like a mad dog that everyone wants to bark twice.

If Ma Yue knew, he might still be happy because Jian Shuo thought highly of him, because since Jian Shuo led Xiyuan, except for Liu Hong, who was at ease in Wanjin Garden, few people in the entire Luoyang City had seen his smiling face. Ma Yue almost saw Jian Shuo's smiling face and good tone in the past month.

With a hundred turns and thousands of thoughts in his heart, Ma Yue was taken into the West Garden by Jian Shuo, along the way the pavilions, rockeries and clear water to see him dazzled, Jian Shuo took him off the horse and walked, and raised the whip to introduce him to various scenes, but Ma Yue was secretly observing the various secret whistles planted in the exquisiteness.

Xiyuan Cavalry from recruitment and training to army guards, the whole process is managed by Jian Shuo, and it is really called such a eunuch who learns the five soldiers in the palace to protect this place as solid as gold, to be honest, Ma Yue feels that Liu Hong is indeed very discerning.

Jian Shuo is also a person with real skills.

Then, Ma Yue met Liu Hong, who enjoyed piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and looked at the palace maid Jiao'e in Wanjintang.

Let him be grateful from the bottom of his heart to the respected gentleman, Liang Hu is also here, writing a pair of eight-point characters.

When Ma Yue saw Liu Hong's chubby figure appear in the field of vision, he made a decision, he walked towards Liu Hong quickly, while unbuttoning the lock on the armor, when he walked to Liu Hong's side, the armor had been handed to the armor next to him casually, wearing the left cloth clothes inside, he knelt in front of Liu Hong, knelt down and said: "The last general Ma Yue, participate in Your Majesty, perform a full salute and remove the armor, I hope Your Majesty will not blame Weichen for being rude, I wish Your Majesty all the best, and good fortune!" ”

Behind Liu Hong, the ten permanent attendants, Jiang Lan, Ren Zhi, Jia Hu, and Fengche Du Wei Lesong all widened their eyes.

This flattering ...... It's so fucking skillful.

Go to Jia to bow down, in one go, I can see that Liang Hu can't write a word on the side, holding his beard and snickering, he feels that the disciples he accepted are simply too motivated, in Liang Hu's outlook on life, he can make himself invincible by borrowing strength. To know how to please Your Majesty is to work hard!

Only Liu Hong was stunned when he looked at Ma Yue. He had seen too many generals who were leading the troops outside, and most of them said after the triumphant return to the court, 'If you are in armor, you will not be allowed to give a big salute at the end.'" He had never seen a general who respected a king so much.

Well, Ma Yue is not a general yet. Liu Hong patted his head, but what did it matter.

If I say he's a general, he'll be a general!

The young historian kneeling in the corner of Wanjin Hall saw this scene and quickly picked up his pen and wrote a line on the bamboo slip.

"On the first day of the first month of the first year of Zhongping, Changshui Captain Xiyuan worships the Son of Heaven, except for the first worship, the emperor is happy."
