The Battle of Youzhou ended with the killing of Gongsun Chan and the capture of Qiao Zhong.

The people in Youzhou City cheered and beat gongs and drums to celebrate the victory of the war.

The people of the city stood on both sides, warmly welcoming the tens of thousands of warriors who had protected them.

Without their desperate struggle with the enemy, I am afraid that Youzhou City at this moment would have become a hell on earth.

Yan Liang discussed with Xiahoudun and felt that there was no need to bring tens of thousands of troops into the city.

So they were arranged outside the city, responsible for guarding Gongsun Zhan's troops, as well as the Yellow Turban Army, and they only brought dozens of people into the city.

Just when Yan Liang and the others were enjoying this lively atmosphere, Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei came back with Gongsun Zhan's body.

Because no matter how heinous Gongsun Chan is, he still has the grace of knowing Zhao Yun and them, and Zhao Yun can't bear to see his violent corpse wilderness.

It's just that when the people in the city saw Gongsun Zhan's corpse, they all gritted their teeth.

Although he is dead now, thinking of his previous behavior of betraying the people in the city to curry favor with the Yellow Turban Army, he can't wait to have his body broken into thousands of pieces.

Yan Liang saw Zhao Yun coming back with Gongsun Zhan's corpse, and he was also puzzled, "General Zhao, why did you bring this dog thief back?" Wouldn't it be nice to let him feed the wild dogs directly with this kind of brute? ”

Zhang Fei said, "Yes, I said the same at the time, but my third brother said that this Gongsun Chan was kind to us after all, and he couldn't bear to do this, so he brought the wine back." ”

Hearing Zhang Fei's words, Yan Liang and the others didn't say anything, and began to discuss other topics.

The people of the city have prepared good wine and food to wash away the dust for them.

Yan Liang asked an adjutant general to go back and tell Xue Yun that they had ended the battle and that Youzhou City was not occupied by the Yellow Turban Army.

At the same time, Gongsun Zhan's actions were also conveyed, and he asked for instructions on what to do next.

Because they're just here to help, and they can't stay here forever

And Xiahoudun, who was beside Cao Cao, although he also had a hot fight with a few of them, seemed to have nothing to say.

But whenever Yan Liang asked how they suddenly increased their marching speed and galloped to the aid of Youzhou, they were always cleverly avoided by Xiahoudun.

It could be seen that people didn't plan to say it, so Yan Liang didn't continue to chase deeply.

Because he heard Xue Yun say before that when the princes are today, the one who cares him the most is that Cao Cao.

And to them, the generals, were repeatedly ordered not to clash with Cao Cao and his men until the last resort.

Cao Cao is powerful, Xue Yun is clear, thinking about the battle of Guandu, 70,000 people, Yuan Shao's 700,000 army was killed and fled.

Although Xue Yun's current identity is Yuan Shao, he naturally will not make the mistakes that Yuan Shao made in history.

But now the Three Kingdoms are completely different from what he knows, and as the heroes in it, he will still be a generation of emperors in the world.

I don't know if he has been strengthened in this, and what will happen to the art of war?

So without knowing Cao Cao's reality, Xue Yun planned to wait and see.

And Xue Yun's words were also firmly remembered by Yan Liang.

Although he didn't understand why the lord of his family was afraid of Cao Cao, who only had 30,000 soldiers and horses, he still did not disobey the order given by Xue Yun.

And after Xue Yun received the information transmitted back by Yan Liang, he was also shocked by what Gongsun Chan did, but he didn't expect that there was such a bottomless person in this world.

Then he replied to Yan Liang and asked them to rest in Youzhou City for one night, and the next day he left 10,000 soldiers and horses to protect the outside of Youzhou City, and everyone else returned.

In addition, he also specially reminded Yan Liang and asked him to try to invite the three Guan Yu brothers to Jizhou.

But only once, if they don't agree, don't ask again.

Sure enough, as soon as Yan Liang said the words of inviting Guan Yu and them, Guan Yu politely refused.

Guan Yu said, "General Yan, we understand the kindness of your lord, but at the moment, this Youzhou City has just been defended, and it is not a way to do it without a fierce general." So we plan to stay, and as for whether to go to your lord's house, we will wait until the officials sent by the imperial court are in place. ”

After listening to Guan Yu's words, Yan Liang nodded, and did not continue.

And Gongsun Zhan's body was still taken away by the people of Youzhou City.

Because only by doing this can the people in the city be emotionally stable.

As for what will happen to Gongsun Chan's body? That's not what Yan Liang and they can manage.

And Qiao Zhong was also imprisoned in the prison, and he was the biggest trophy of this battle.

A big protector was captured alive, and the blow to the Yellow Turban Army was no less than the loss of tens of thousands of soldiers.

And in order to prevent Qiao Zhong from committing suicide, Yan Liang directly ordered someone to tie him up, and at the same time, his mouth was also covered with a cloth to prevent him from biting his tongue.

The soldiers also surrounded the cell to prevent Qiao Zhong from finding an opportunity to escape.

After the night passed, Yan Liang and Xiahoudun's soldiers left Youzhou City after they finished packing.

And that Qiao Zhong, because he was subdued by Guan Yu in the end, left him in Youzhou and did not leave with Yan Liang and them.

And the news about the battle in Youzhou City was also after a night of fighting, with Youzhou as the center, like a violent wind, it spread in all directions.

From the emperor and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, to the people of various states and counties, they were all shocked when they learned the news.

In addition to defeating the Yellow Turban Army, they were more shocked by the betrayal of Gongsun Zhan and the capture alive of Qiao Zhong, the great protector of the Yellow Turban Army.

This is a stimulant for the now weak imperial court, giving them the confidence to fight against the Yellow Turban Army again.

And the reason why this news spread so quickly was completely intentional by Xue Yun.

The purpose of this is to let the imperial court know about this battle report as soon as possible, so that the ownership of Youzhou City can be determined.

Sure enough, after learning of this information, Liu Wei, the young emperor of the Han Dynasty who was far away in Luoyang, hurriedly convened the ministers to discuss.

The ministers also applauded, and the emperor asked Youzhou to bring Qiao Zhong over, so as to strengthen my heroic style.

Liu Wei was young, and the affairs of the imperial court were all manipulated by ten eunuchs such as Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, who were currently the largest power group in the Han Dynasty - the ten permanent servants.

The current emperor is just a puppet in their hands.

The reports handed over by the ministers below were all reviewed by them and made decisions.

The officials who impeached them often ended up with a bad death.

And the officials who flatter him can rise step by step.

In this way, the vast majority of the current court are their godsons.

They were the main culprits who sparked the Yellow Turban Rebellion and put the people in dire straits.

Liu Wei didn't speak, but just looked at the eunuch Zhang Rang beside him.

He is the emperor's personal eunuch, and the ten permanent servants are also headed by him.

What he meant was the meaning of the emperor around him.

Zhang Rang said, "It's naturally gratifying to be able to catch Qiao Zhong, since that's the case, let Youzhou send a general to escort him into Beijing." By the way, I heard that there was a white-robed general there who performed well on the battlefield, and Gongsun Chan was also killed by him. In that case, let the person in charge of the escort choose him. ”
