Quyang is located about 200 miles north of Yangshi County.

It's not far, with Zhang Ning's footsteps, you can arrive in one day.

At this time, the war in Quyang was already white-hot.

Jizhou Mu, the left car cavalry general Huangfu Song, Julu County Taishou Guo Dian, as well as Zhu Jun and the generals of the officers and soldiers of the imperial court.

Here, Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song are old partners, they were the left and right generals at the beginning, and the two military horses cooperated with each other seamlessly, even if the situation was a critical battle, both of them could turn evil into good fortune and turn danger into disaster.

Zhu Jun also relied on his military merits, and entered the Xixiang Marquis with his merits, and moved to the town as a thief general.

Zhu Jun can also be said to be Zhang Bao's old opponent, Zhang Bao was defeated by Zhu Jun's military horse, fled all the way north, and fled to Quyang.

Then Zhang Bao did not escape, and recruited the Yellow Turban Army in Quyang, so that Quyang City gathered more than 100,000 and 200,000 Yellow Turban troops in a short period of time.

Zhang Bao's reorganization of the army in Quyang was to support the main force of the Yellow Turban Army in Julu County. At that time, in order to guard against Zhang Baohui leading the Yellow Turban Army south from Quyang, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun divided their troops. Huangfu Song stayed in Julu County to command the whole army and lead the overall situation, while Zhu Jun led his troops and horses to the north early to contain Zhang Bao's army.

The two sides have already gone through a series of battles in the Quyang area, and the sun and moon have been killed.

Now Huangfu Song captured Guangzong and killed Zhang Liang. The army also received ten days and a half of rest. Now that the army is moving north, the momentum is like a bamboo, and Zhang Bao has been completely forced into Quyang, and he is trapped in Quyang City by the officers and soldiers of the imperial court.

This situation is somewhat similar to the earlier situation.

When Dong Zhuo attacked Julu as the commander of the army, Guo Dian, the Taishou of Julu County, suggested that Dong Zhuo maintain the momentum of attacking the city, not allowing the Yellow Turban Army in the city to be prepared, and to hit the morale of the Yellow Turban Army.

But at that time, Dong Zhuo was thinking about the Taiping Sutra in his heart, and wanted to make plans after capturing the Taiping Sutra, so he did not give the order to forcibly attack the city. As a result, the Yellow Turban Army in the city was fully prepared, making it difficult for the officers and soldiers of the imperial court to attack it for a while. It was not until Dong Zhuo was removed from the post of commander and replaced Huangfu Song as the commander of the officers and soldiers of the imperial court that he captured Julu, Guangzong and other cities.

Now, when Guo Dian led the army to Quyang with Huangfu Song, he also gave the same advice. It is hoped that the Yellow Turban Army in Quyang City can be attacked day and night, and maintain a kind of pressure on the Yellow Turban Army in Quyang City, creating a tense atmosphere that Quyang City may be attacked by the imperial court officers and soldiers at any time, so that the Yellow Turban Army in the city will naturally be demoralized, the army will be discouraged, and they have no intention of fighting to the death with the officers and soldiers.

Huangfu Song thought so. Now that the Yellow Turban Army is gone, he has just been awarded the title of Jizhou Pastor by the Imperial Court, and the entire Jizhou is under the jurisdiction of his Emperor Fu Song, and he absolutely cannot tolerate the existence of the Yellow Turban Army and the thief army under his rule.

Now he is simply appointing some officials to various parts of Jizhou, in order to let those officials better govern Jizhou, he immediately asked the imperial court, hoping to exempt Jizhou from land rent and other taxes for one year. In this way, on the one hand, it can boost the spirit of the people of Jizhou, and secondly, it is actually convenient for the local governments below to better govern the place. As soon as they take office and rebuild the local government, there will be good news that the people will approve of the new government.

After the chaos, Jizhou really needs to resume production as soon as possible and recover as soon as possible. Therefore, at this time, he did not allow the existence of the remnants of the Yellow Turban under his rule.

Therefore, Guo Dian's suggestion is very much in line with Huangfu Song's thoughts.

In addition, even other officers and soldiers of the imperial court also had such thoughts, and they wanted to capture Quyang City as soon as possible and destroy Zhang Bao.

As long as Zhang Bao is destroyed, this is the destruction of the Yellow Turban Army in the real sense.

This battle is considered by many officers and soldiers to be the last major battle against the Yellow Turban Army. Moreover, they fought without the support of the rebels.

There are a lot of considerations from the top down.

What are the considerations? Now the general trend of the world has been decided, but this time the righteous people of the world are called on to raise troops to destroy the Yellow Turban Bandit Army, and many outstanding leaders of the Righteous Army have emerged at this time, and they have indeed made countless meritorious contributions in the battle with the Yellow Turban Army and the Bandit Army. In times of war, such a situation is naturally gratifying. But what about after the war? For those leaders of the rebel army, not only the leader of the rebel army, but also the rebel soldiers below, they also killed some Yellow Turban thieves, and they also need to be rewarded.

However, it is estimated that there are hundreds of these rebel armies, and it is troublesome to reward the leaders of those rebel armies, hundreds of them. Also, what about the tens of thousands of rebel soldiers? How much money does it take to reward them?

In case there is no reward, if these rebels start a riot, then it will be another big riot. In terms of the combat effectiveness of the rebel army, it is stronger than those Yellow Turban Army. When the time comes, how will the situation be cleaned up?

In fact, the imperial court is out of such considerations. Therefore, it was decided to summon all those rebels into Beijing and let them wait for the reward from the imperial court in Beijing.

At this time, the officers and soldiers of the imperial court who were still fighting against the remnants of the Yellow Turbans had to face the pressure of defeating the Yellow Turban Army alone without the help of the rebels. On the part of the imperial court, they were also strictly ordered to only allow victory and not defeat, they wanted to show those righteous soldiers, and let those righteous soldiers know that even if there were no righteous troops like them, the officers and soldiers of the imperial court could still defeat the Yellow Turban Army.

The officers and soldiers of the imperial court made a noise, so the imperial court could rest assured, and there was something to say to those righteous soldiers. Say, "Look? Even without you rebels, the officers and soldiers of the court are still invincible. Therefore, you rebels, in fact, do not play such a big role, they are all dispensable teams.

The imperial court lifted the ban on the party so that they could form a righteous army, which was already extraordinarily generous. In this way, don't blame the court for not having any rewards.

Of course, it's impossible to have no bounty at all. The traitors in the court, that is, the ten permanent servants, came up with some treacherous tricks to deal with those rebels.

That is to let them wait in the capital for the reward, but how long they will have to wait, it may not be known. Let them wait until they are impatient, and then give a little sweetness, and then they will naturally disperse. Especially those rebels, they raise their own funds and prepare their own military rations, and the imperial court will not provide rations. They are in the capital of Luoyang, and if there is no food, they will automatically disperse, at least, those leaders of the rebel army, it is impossible to have so much money and food to support those rebels, so that the dissolution of those rebels will become inevitable.

Then, the imperial court gave another grandiose excuse, one, it just so happened that all parts of the Han Dynasty were suffering from the scourge of the Yellow Turban, and there was a shortage of local officials. Then you can give those rebel leaders some official positions in the local government, so that those rebel leaders can be sent away. Then, it was those rebel soldiers, and the court simply gave them a little travel expenses, so that they could go home and wait for the reward.

This is the right to teach the provincial family to inject a small name, but it is not too late to pay attention to it later.

Of course, that's another story.

Now, the war in Quyang is becoming increasingly tense.
