425 Sinners

The fierce battle of Shouchun was in full swing, and the final decisive battle between Cao Ren's army and the last Yellow Turban Army led by Liu Pi in Shen County also began.

Previously, Cao Ren defeated Liu Pi's defense three times in Gushi County, Xiyang County and Ruyin County, Guan Yu showed his might, killing He Yi and Gong Du one after another, and Huang Shao was killed by Gao Ran Xiandeng.

Liu Pi lost his troops and lost almost all his generals and troops, leaving only the last man and 2,000 remnants, and retreated to Shen County, once Shen County was lost, Runan County would all fall under Cao Ren's control, and the entire Runan County would no longer have a system to resist Cao Ren's strength.

Cao Ren could directly lead the army through Shen County to Shouchun and join Guo Peng.

The news of Yuan Shu's fiasco and retreat to Shouchun was already known to Liu Bi.

Because of this, the defense of Ruyin County failed, causing Huang Shao to die tragically, Liu Pi lost a large number of troops, and now he is leading the remnants of the defeated army to retreat to Shen County, and there is no hope in sight.

The reason why he did not surrender was also because the Yellow Turban Army and Guo Peng had a deep blood feud, and this demon with countless Yellow Turban blood on his hands would never surrender or give in.

Not to mention that now he has lost all his generals and elite troops, only 2,000 remnants, and the food is exhausted, there is no way to fight this battle, even so, the whole army hates Guo Peng very much, absolutely do not surrender, and must fight with Guo Peng to the end.

In this regard, even Chen Gong was very moved.

"Although he is a yellow turban thief, but in the end not everyone can do it, Liu Pi has not surrendered so far, and our army has fought one after another, although he has been defeated in successive battles, but he is still loyal to his duty."

Chen Gong, who has always hated yellow scarves, also recognized Liu Bi's persistence.

But no matter what, Liu Bi's defeat is already a fact, and the last low and dilapidated small county town cannot stop the advance of the army.

On December 23 of the second year of Xingping, Liu Pi led more than 2,000 people of the last Yellow Turban Army to start a final fierce battle with Cao Ren's army.

Liu Pi's troops fought a bloody battle for one day, causing Guo Peng's soldiers to lose more than 300 people, and Liu Pi's entire army was annihilated, and his own head was cut off by Cao Ren himself.

Since the sixth year of Guanghe, until the second year of Xingping, the yellow turban has blossomed everywhere in the land of China, and has been defeated and defeated repeatedly, lasting for eleven years.

In the beginning, the rebellion of the Yellow Turbans was a conspiracy, a game between the upper echelons of power and the supreme authority.

But after the initial conspiracy was shattered, many people carried out a real peasant uprising under the banner of the Yellow Turban, rebelling against the rule of the Han Empire and against this era of precarious food and hunger.

Pity.

They had no culture, no knowledge, no program, no strategy, only knew destruction and plunder, did not know construction and development, and such huge limitations doomed the final failure of the Yellow Turban Uprising.

Guo Peng is the biggest enemy of the Yellow Turban Army, but also the biggest enemy, he single-handedly defeated and eliminated most of the Yellow Turban Army, no matter the size, strength or weakness, all of them were broken under Guo Peng's hands.

Guo Peng was the most cruel executioner, except for the most ordinary sect members, the leaders of the Yellow Turban Army and the Taiping Taoists who held positions were all beheaded by him, and the preaching tools and teachings were burned by him and all destroyed.

His hands were stained with the blood of many innocent people, and with the blood, tears and lives of innocent people, he paved his way to heaven.

He was undoubtedly the spokesman of a brutal ruling class and a sinner who suppressed the uprising.

He personally ended the actions of the Yellow Turban Army, put an end to the spread and development of the Yellow Turban Army, and ushered in regional "peace" in the place occupied by him.

After that, Runan County will become an important base for tuntian, and the captured people will become tuntian people, and the hard work on the land will be squeezed by Guo Peng to extract surplus value, which will be turned into the driving force for realizing his ambitions.

They were not given any preferential treatment except for food and peace, and they had to farm and farm and farm until they died, without any change.

Their lives may not be uneventful.

Cao Ren defeated the last general of the Yellow Turban Army, destroyed the last Yellow Turban Army, and ended an era, and the weather vane of the times changed.

Then, he reorganized his army and marched towards Shouchun.

On December 29 of the second year of Xingping, Cao Ren led the army to Shouchun, successfully completed the task, and returned to Guo Peng.

At this time, Guo Peng just announced that he would stop besieging the city for two days, and give everyone a New Year's holiday.

After the unification of the Qin Dynasty, the customs of various festivals were integrated, eliminating a lot of red tape, adding some folk own festivity, enhancing the attributes of festival celebrations and reducing the attributes of ghost and god sacrifices.

The Spring Festival is called by many other names at this time, but the connotation is the same as today, which is to celebrate the new beginning of the year, say goodbye to the past, pray for peace and happiness in the next year, and so on.

Guo Peng has been marching and fighting for many years, and many times he can't spend the Spring Festival with his family at home, and this year is the same, so he can only write back to his family to express his regret that he can't go home to celebrate the New Year.

He wants to celebrate the New Year with the soldiers, spend this festival with the soldiers, and make a lively and joyful scene, and he wants to eat, drink, and do a lot of things, so that Yuan Shu in Shouchun City can see how high morale his side is!

Therefore, he ordered his subordinates to transport some festive things to the barracks very early, and mobilized everyone to go fishing, transferred pigs, ducks and sheep from the base camp, and mobilized the firehead army to make all kinds of pasta, make barbecue preparations, and prepare enough spices and salt.

Cao Ren came in time to prepare for the New Year's celebration.

So as soon as they came here, before they had time to report on their work, Cao Ren, Guan Yu, Chen Gong, Yan Liang, and Gao Lan were dragged by Guo Peng to go with him and bread dumplings.

The noodles of the Han Dynasty were already quite material, and there were a lot of cakes, such as soup cakes and baked cakes, as well as the favorite Hu cakes of Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty, because Emperor Ling liked to eat Hu cakes, so every household in Luoyang City at that time learned from the emperor to eat Hu cakes together.

Guo Peng also ate a lot of Hu cakes in Luoyang back then, which was indeed crispy, which is true, of course, compared with a wide variety of modern delicacies, the food of the Han Dynasty was indeed a little simple.

Earlier, Guo Peng's living environment was very poor, he was calculating day and night, running for the future day and night, running errands and being a dog, and he had no time to think about appetite.

At most, make a simple one called the flower chicken to beat the tooth sacrifice, nothing else, he eats whatever the people of the Han Dynasty eat, simple steaming, complex roasting, soup and water, eating no feeling.

It wasn't until Yuan Shao was cleaned up and stabilized the three states of Hebei that Guo Peng came to Puyang that he had some leisure and thought of his appetite.

So he instructed the mature blacksmiths of the Shenji Division to successfully build an iron pot and toss some stir-fry in their own kitchen.

Stir-fried lamb with salt and soy sauce, followed by a bowl of wheat rice, is full of flavor.

However, in troubled times, his appetite was at the bottom, and after eating the taste of nostalgia, Guo Peng began to think about improving food for the army.

The army is his lifeblood, and eating well is a must, so Guo Peng pondered how to improve food for the army under the existing conditions.

It happened that during that time, because he was busy with official business, he often ate a convenient food called prison pills, a bowl of soup and soup with meat and vegetarian water, which was convenient and delicious.

Because I've been eating it since I was a child, I didn't have many ideas, but at that time I suddenly remembered that this thing is very similar to dumplings.

It was the predecessor of dumplings.
