On the ancient road leading from Jizhou to Sili, an army marched crookedly, perhaps they could not be called an army.

This was a wounded unit led by Captain Ma Yue of Changshui, and 93 heavily armed officers and men of the Northern Army escorted 1,700 counterinsurgency troops who had been lightly wounded or seriously wounded but did not die, as well as 1,000 damaged weapons and torn armor, to Luoyang. There were countless shoddy carts and double-wheeled carts in the queue, carrying seriously wounded sergeants and corpses. The Han army won a great victory in the first battle of the northern Hebei continent, annihilating one of the only two remaining generals of the Yellow Turban forces, the more than 100,000 troops led by the Rengong general Zhang Liang, at the cost of the 20,000 Han army, there were only more than 1,000 combatable soldiers left, and more than 1,000 wounded soldiers, who were burdened with several titles and must return to Luoyang as soon as possible to heal and recuperate.

The remaining 17,000 people were all lost on the tragic battlefield of the continent, and the surviving soldiers will forever mourn their heroic souls.

Many of the bodies of the fallen soldiers have been mixed with the scraps of meat on the battlefield, and the reeds on the banks of Oze will be accompanied by the reeds for many years, and the broken armor is mostly the relics of officers and conscripts, who have been identified and sent to their homes for comfort. There are more than four thousand weapons collected on the battlefield, there are more than 4,000 standard weapons recovered on the Han army alone, not to mention the cattle, sheep, and farming tools captured in the Yellow Turban camp, but those things are not Ma Yue's responsibility, his mission is to bring these wounded soldiers back to Luoyang, including himself.

Ma Yue was born and died in the first battle of Dazhu Ze, his body was seriously injured, his back was cut to pieces, and his thighs and arms were full of wounds, at this time it was Cheng Li and Cheng Wu who led the team, and the father and son did not join the battle after following Huangfu Song in the melee, which was regarded as leaving two effective combat forces under Ma Yue. Otherwise, I am afraid that the officers above the tun level of the first battalion in Changshui will not be able to lead the troops.

Guan Yu was shot by a stray arrow, and his armor was destroyed and he was seriously injured, and at this time he and Ma Yue lay side by side on the ox cart and endured the bumps. Yan Xing folded the yellow turban flag, wanting to highlight the encirclement, and was dragged off the war horse, but fortunately, the armor was only slightly injured, and he was walking with Ma Yue's chariot at this time. Xu Huang fell off his horse in the scuffle and was crushed by the galloping war horse, Ma Yue tried to graft the bone, but the effect is unknown. Yang Feng fought alone when he killed Zhang Liang, and was resting on the caravan.

The cavalry commander Heifu rode his horse forward and backward to convey the marching order for Ma Yue. This light cavalry commander was photographed by Ma Yue, and his exit from Changshui became Ma Yue's personal part, and he was also a personal follower. Because there are only two people in his family at present, they are Liu Erlang, who was bred by Ma Yue in Dong'a, and his brother Liu Bo, plus Heifu, a total of three people.

If you want to say who is in the most cheerful mood among several people, it must be Heifu, who has jumped from an unknown tun commander to the personal entourage of the captain of 2,000 stones, and his heart is happy and tight. If anyone is in the worst mood, that person must be Cheng Li.

The Changshui Battalion had a supernumerary of 4,600 people, and more than 4,500 were killed, of which nearly 3,000 sons were all conscripted sergeants from Dongjun, and they died cleanly all of a sudden, how could Cheng's father and son be happy?

Even Ma Yue, who had made great achievements, was full of gloom, and he finally understood the meaning of a success.

I heard that Zhonglang will Zhu Jun in the south to quell the rebellion and make a lot of contributions, and the Huangfu Song in the north is almost the same after such a tragic victory, one pacifies the southern line, the other pacifies the northern line, this Yellow Turban Rebellion made the two middle-aged generals who passed the year of confusion leap into the famous generals of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

How many people have been taken advantage of in this massive war? And how many people have suffered huge losses in this war?

Ma Yue, who was in pain with his arm on his pillow, thought wildly in his head as the ox cart jolted.

The emperor ignored political affairs, and the vain ministers changed their tricks all day long to please him, and paid taxes harshly.

The clans, the nobles, and the nobles annexed the land, and the tenant farmers ploughed the fields for them for generations, leaving the thin sons to continue ploughing, the clever ones to become their domestic servants, and the strong ones to become their household soldiers, serving their masters for generations.

Finally, one day, these men who should be slaves feel that their lives should not be like this, and maybe they should fight for themselves. At this time, Zhang Jiao stood up, preaching, teaching, and solving doubts, leading millions of disciples to fight bravely in the name of Huang Tian, and issued their protests to the sky.

Three generals were promoted, more than a dozen captains of the Northern and Southern Army, tens of thousands of children of good families in the six counties, and tens of thousands of knights in the three auxiliary and three rivers were conquered overnight, and the army was mobilized violently to exterminate the rebels.

Zhang Jiao, who roared for the people, died, and the body of the sick man had no mourning hall to place after death, and was transported back to his hometown by his henchmen, and the Yellow Turban power was gone, and I am afraid that he will not leave all the corpses on the day the Julu City is broken.

Zhang Liang, who claimed to be the general of the people, died, was stabbed in half by Yang Feng, his head was cut off, and now it was sealed with lime, and was put into a box by the eunuchs and sent to Luoyang.

The people who are fighting, the heads of those who participate in the war, the displaced people who have fled, from the moment they plan to fight, everything is already doomed, they can only survive in this life and the mountains and forests, and they cannot die in the ground.

The officers and soldiers who enlisted for the conscription were scarred by the living, and the bones of the dead were buried elsewhere. In less than a year, because of this war, more than 300,000 lives were lost, and millions of people were displaced and ran to other places, from Yanmen to the South China Sea, from Liaodong to Dunhuang, and people's hearts fluctuated.

However, what do you get?

The hedonistic emperor still slept in his Wanjin Hall, the eunuchs referred to by Qianfu were still powerful, because a large number of small wealthy families were killed by the Han army or the Yellow Turbans, the land annexation had more soil for survival, and the lives of the refugee tenants remained the same.

"Yanming, you say...... What is this war for? ”

Yan Xing carried an iron gun and followed the ox cart on foot, although he had a white cloth wrapped around his shoulders and forehead, but he could not see a trace of unhappiness on his face, the yellow turban battle flag was surrounded by him, but he was a little jubilant, and suddenly heard Ma Yue ask, he smirked without thinking, shrugged his shoulders and said: "I don't know, the lord is going to quell the rebellion, and Yan Ming will go." ”

Ma Yue rolled his eyes, and then asked, "Then what are you fighting for?" ”

"For the sake of the lord!" Yan Xing pursed his lips, suddenly lifted the battle flag around his waist, and said with some flattery: "Lord, Yan Xing has taken the battle flag for you, can you find a teacher for Xiao Ning'er to read?" ”

"Okay, no problem."

Yan Xing did himself, for his own merits, because of his glory, the higher Ma stood higher, the higher Yan Xing also stood, Yan Xing, Xu Huang, Yan Xing, Guan Yu, they were so brave on the battlefield, they all thought about this.

But for what? Maybe later he would have wanted merit, but at the beginning of the war he did not have such thoughts.

Thinking deeply about himself, Ma Yue got an answer that he himself didn't believe.

When the order of the imperial court came down, he went to fight, and when the military order of Huangfu Song came down, he went to listen.

He's there to ...... Court.
