After the war, the main work was to pacify the people and compensate the fallen soldiers. Even though the army led by Zhang Hao wore and used standard equipment, which was much better than the Yellow Turban Army, there were still casualties.

It's only the beginning of May, and the corn can't be planted, and if you can, you can grow some other food, otherwise it will be difficult for the people to endure the autumn harvest next year, and maybe there will be another uprising.

Then Zhang Hao arranged a fast horse and wrote a battle report to Lu Zhi, who was far away in Julu County and fought against the main force of the Yellow Turban.

The battle report explained the process of recovering Jixian County this time, as well as the merits of the soldiers.

Lu Zhi is the person in charge of the Northern Front, and Zhang Hao is also under his jurisdiction.

Five days later, Zhang Hao basically finished handling the affairs of Jixian County.

At this time, the rebels sent by the three counties of Shanggu, Yuyang, and Youbeiping came to the east gate of Jixian County, and Zhang Hao immediately went out of the city to greet them.

The general of the rebel army in Shanggu was surnamed Li, wearing armor, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and a powerful force.

The general of the rebel army in Yuyang was surnamed Wang, wearing a Confucian crown, wearing a robe, and dressed as a scholar.

And the surname of the righteous army general in Youbeiping is He, Zhang Hao was stunned when he saw him, which is this person, it is clearly a Roshan.

He was the only one who came in a carriage, and when he got off, he had to rely on the help of others to get down. When he laughed, the flesh on his face was squeezed together.

Zhang Hao took the generals of the rebel army of the three counties to the Zhang family, which was the temporary official residence, and held a banquet to entertain them.

Zhang Hao toasted the three of them with a glass of wine and said to them: "The three generals are here just in time, we can just discuss the matter of quelling the rebels in Guangyang County."

General Li drank it all, and his voice was particularly loud: "Three days ago, I passed through Jundu County and have eliminated the thief army in the county. ”

General Wang took a sip of wine: "I led the army to exterminate the thief army in Changping, and I happened to meet General Li on the way to Jixian County." ”

And the general He also said with a smile: "Hey, hey, I just came from Anci County, and there are no thieves in the county." ”

"Oh?" Zhang Hao was a little surprised, "In this way, in Guangyang County, now only Guangyang County is left in the hands of the thief army." It just so happened that the four of us joined forces, and the thief army in Guangyang County could be destroyed in a flash. ”

After Zhang Hao finished speaking, the living room suddenly fell silent, and the three generals were silent.

Zhang Hao's face was full of questions: "Is there anything wrong with what you said below?" ”

At this time, the elegant General Wang spoke first: "There is nothing wrong with General Zhang's words, but Lord Taishou ordered when he came, and when Jixian County is recovered, he will go back." ”

"That's what my family Taishou said." General Lee said

General He also nodded: "Me too." ”

Zhang Hao was a little surprised: "Why is this?" ”

General Wang replied: "It's because of the Wuhuan people, and there is a report from the Tanma that the Wuhuan people on the border of each county are frequently changing, as if they are taking the opportunity to go south. So we can no longer go to the south to quell the rebellion, and we ask General Zhang not to blame. ”

Zhang Hao stood up and bowed: "The generals are going to resist foreign humiliation and protect the country and the country, how dare Zhang Hao blame him, please accept Zhang Hao's worship." ”

General He ate a large piece of meat in one bite, chewed it a few times and swallowed it: "But quelling the rebellion is equally important, so the three of us summed it up, transferred the cavalry from each of them, gathered enough five hundred, and handed it over to the general's command to help the general." ”

Zhang Hao waved his hand, unacceptable: "The cavalry is the grassland, a sharp weapon to deal with foreign races, and the border is in danger, it is better to use them on the right battlefield." , it is enough for me to have troops under my command. ”

"The five hundred knights have little impact on us, but it is very helpful to General Zhang to quell the chaos, so don't shirk it." General Wang said, "No matter which battlefield they are on, they are all defending their homes and defending the country, and there is not much difference. ”

"That's right." "That's right."

Seeing this, Zhang Hao couldn't excuse himself: "Since this is the case, then I will accept it, and I promise you that I will lead them to victory." ”

"As it should be."

……

Guangnian County, Julu County.

Lu Zhi led an army of 30,000 to confront the 70,000 Yellow Turban Army led by Zhang Jiao. This state of affairs has been going on for more than a month, and neither side has been able to find a suitable fighter.

However, it is still beneficial to the officers and men to drag it out, and the Yellow Turban Army cannot get the support of the local people, and the longer it lasts, the more it will be unable to hold on.

Lu Zhi was still waiting for the fighter plane, and a battle report from Youzhou was handed over to him.

"I seem to have heard of this Zhang Hao, it should have been a few years ago." Lu Zhi said to the deputy general sect member.

"It was at a banquet that Liu Yu, the former assassin of Youzhou, returned to Beijing to serve as Zongzheng, and when you set up a banquet for him to pick up the wind, he mentioned an interesting young man to you, which was this Zhang Hao. I was there at the time, so I remember. The sect member said with a smile.

Lu Zhi took the battle report in his hand, read it over and over again, and sighed: "This is really terrifying, I didn't expect that I, Brother Yizhen, and Brother Gongwei have not yet opened up the situation on the battlefield Brother Gongwei was defeated."

It was the young man who got his first win, which was good. ”

The sect member said with some disberence: "That's because we still need to prepare before, otherwise this first victory will definitely be ours." ”

Lu Zhi laughed: "We are all old, what are we fighting with young people." ”

The sect member also grinned: "It's not that you don't accept the old man." Then his expression darkened a little.

"The world of the Han dynasty is already in chaos, and the peasant uprising that swept through most of the country is the best proof of this.

Now that we have come to this point, we old guys can't change anything, and we really need young people like this to stand up and change the current situation. ”

Lu Zhi nodded: "We all tried to change this situation, and the reason why we didn't succeed is because Your Majesty is a villain, a distant virtuous minister, causing traitors to be in power, and eunuchs and relatives compete for power and profit, regardless of the hardships and hardships of the people."

I hope that this lesson can make them see clearly that this world is already full of ills, and if they don't change, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

"I hope so."

Lu Zhi reloaded the battle report in his hand, wrote a piece of music for Zhang Hao, packed it together, and sent a messenger to Luoyang as soon as possible.

Then he walked to the map: "Now while we can still move, we should continue to stand up and shelter young people from the wind and rain, and it is a little bit to sweep away a little scabies, hahaha." ”

The sect member also stood next to him: "That's right, as a senior, you can't leave all your messes to future generations."

At this moment, our army is fully prepared and can fight a decisive battle with Zhang Jiao at any time. ”

Lu Zhi nodded: "Okay, then let's start, and I should let the world know that I, Lu Zhi, am still not old." ”

The next day, Lu Zhi led the army and Zhang Jiao to fight a decisive battle on the plain outside Guangnian County, fighting several battles in a row, breaking Zhang Jiao and killing tens of thousands of people.

Zhang Jiao was invincible, so he had to retreat to Guangzong and defend the city.

……

"Good news! Zhang Hao, the county commander and general of Fang County, led the army to break through the Yellow Turban and recover Jixian County! ”

The messenger rode a fast horse and galloped all the way, and the people on the road only heard the words "good news", "Zhang Hao", and "Jixian", and nothing else was heard clearly, and only the dust in front of them was left.

In the Luoyang Imperial Palace, Emperor Ling has been frowning for more than a month.

Since the imperial court sent troops in early March, news of several defeats has come back from the south, and the north has been facing each other without much movement.

When he got up in the morning to comb it, a palace maid was careless, and actually said that he had a few more gray hairs, he was furious, and directly ordered someone to pull this palace maid out and kill him with a cane.

But he himself knows that not only is his hair grayer, but even his body has lost a lot of weight.

But these rounds were reminded by a little palace maid, and she was unlucky and became a victim of Emperor Ling's anger in his heart.

At this time, Zhang Rang, the regular attendant of the middle school, walked in: "Your Majesty, there is a piece of music in Hebei, and a battle report is attached. ”

He could emphasize: "It's good news." ”

"Oh? Show it to me. ”

Zhang Rang handed it over, and Emperor Ling immediately took it over and looked at it carefully.

It was a long time before he was satisfied with the fold in his hand. At this moment, his face no longer had the previous sadness, and there was a trace of excitement and joy.

This was the first Chuanjie recital in two months, and it dissipated most of the gloom in his heart.

What does this mean? It shows that these traitors are not invincible, and it shows that the mandate of heaven is in Han, and what the traitors say "the sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand" is all nonsense.

He suddenly felt that soon the imperial court would be able to put out the rebellion, and he would be able to sit back and relax.

The first win is always the most uplifting and morale-boosting thing. Emperor Ling decided to reward this Zhang Hao well.

"This young man named Zhang Hao is very good, he led the army to the first victory, and he is more heartfelt than those veterans of the DPRK and China.

Proposed edict, Zhang Hao conquest of the rebel thief meritorious, gave the Marquis of Cangting, 200 households, and then gave a sword, 500 gold.

After quelling the rebellion this time, I will come to Luoyang in person, and I will meet this young man in person. ”

Zhang Rang quickly drafted the edict and gave it to Emperor Ling.

After Emperor Ling read it, he took out the seal dedicated to the edict and stamped it on it.

After Zhang Rang went out, he handed over the holy decree to a small eunuch, and he was also the little eunuch who gave Zhang Hao the decree last time.

"You go to pass the decree this time, remember to test this person named Zhang Hao, to see if he hates us like everyone else, if you can win him over, it is best to make him our person." Zhang Rang commanded.

"No." The little eunuch respectfully put the holy decree away and wanted to walk outside the palace gate.

Zhang Rang could feel that the emperor was now very fond of this young man who brought him good news. Otherwise, it would not have been decided directly to give a reward without going through court discussion.

As the emperor's most trusted eunuch, the emperor must follow in the footsteps of the emperor closely what he likes, so that he will always be trusted by the emperor and hold the authority forever.

Of course, it doesn't matter if the emperor's excitement at this time has passed, and he is not interested in this young man.

If this Zhang Hao acquaintance is willing to stand with them, then it will naturally be fine.

If he looks down on his own people as much as those rotten people in the court, then he can guarantee that these things that Zhang Hao got today will lose them in the future.

And more will be lost.
