A faint sandalwood spilled into the air from the incense burner, the whole study was filled with a faint fragrance, behind the carved bookcase, Zang Hong took the bamboo slip and read it carefully, Chen Mo knelt by the window, stunned.

Zhou Yuan had been sent away for three days, and Chen Mo still remembered that three days ago, Mr. Gao Wang's stiff back when he left, as if he had aged ten years in one day.

According to the law, Tu Zhuang is undoubtedly a big crime, but somehow, after Zhou Yuan was arrested, Chen Mo did not have the kind of happiness after solving the case, but in the past three days, he always felt that something was pressed in his heart, not a taste.

"It's been three days." After a long time, Zang Hong put down the bamboo slips, looked at the scenery outside the window, and suddenly smiled: "Still can't figure it out?" ”

"Teacher, I'm wondering if Zhou Yuan is wrong?" Chen Mo asked.

"What do you think?" Zang Hong looked at Chen Mo and asked.

"Now on the streets and alleys, everyone is saying that Zhou Yuan should be killed, but if you really look into it, in fact, the root cause of this matter shouldn't be that Liang Huan? Chen Mo asked. ”

"It really should be killed, thousands of lives, before the Yellow Turban thieves were raised, this case of slaughtering the village could shock the world." Zang Hong nodded.

"The teacher also thinks he's wrong?" Chen Mo looked at Zang Hong.

"Yes, but guilty." Zang Hong shook his head.

"But everyone said that he had gone too far, and he only punished the evil, so why bother?" Chen Mo said everyone's point of view, he is in the right place, from the son of the family to the three sects and nine streams, and the pawns of the peddlers will make friends, so the news will come quickly.

"You just have to think about what you would do if you were replaced by Zhou Yuan?" Zang Hong asked.

"Me?" Chen Mo closed his eyes and thought carefully, if he changed to such an environment, someone would dare to smash his own house and beat his mother......

When he opened his eyes, Chen Mo's eyes were a little red: "Maybe even more intense than him!" ”

As for how intense it was, Chen Mo didn't say anything, he didn't dare to imagine what would happen if his mother encountered this kind of thing.

"So, I said he was right, after all, no one knows how he has come over the years, and how much hatred has accumulated in his heart, but as a teacher, his crime is beyond doubt, as I said before, his feelings are pitiful, and his crime should be punished." Zang Hong sighed: "It's a pity." ”

That Zhou Yuan was also a talent, but it was a pity that it was destroyed.

Chen Mo nodded, his mood was a little low, and he got up and said, "Teacher, I want to learn the art of war." ”

"Why?" Zang Hong said suspiciously: "I just got the news, the left Zhonglang will Huangfu Song, the right Zhonglang will Zhu Jun have broken the Yellow Turban Thieves in Yingchuan in May, and the North Zhonglang General Lu Gong has also led the elite north to Jizhou in April. ”

Chen Mo shook his head and said: "The disciple faintly feels that the Yellow Turban Thieves Rebellion is just the beginning, and I am afraid that there will be no less war in the future, the disciple wants to learn the art of war earlier, not to mention the feudal marquis and worship the generals, but if there is chaos in the future, at least he can have the power to protect himself!" ”

Zang Hong narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Chen Mo and said, "Mo'er said this, but someone taught you?" ”

Chen Mo said blankly: "No one has taught me? ”

"And how do you tell?" Zang Hong frowned.

"In the past few days, when the disciples checked the tax books, they found that the taxes of the imperial court are extremely heavy now, but the taxes received by the county town are not as good as in previous years, and then check the household registration ......"

"Enough!" Zang Hong interrupted Chen Mo and said: "Don't mention this matter again, don't discuss it with others, the art of war is not proficient as a teacher, but it can be taught to you, as for how much you can learn, it depends on your ability." ”

"Disciple understands." Chen Mo bowed and said.

In the following time, Chen Mo's life became regular again, except for occasionally going out to visit friends and playing with friends, more time was spent on studying.

Zang Hong will also give Chen Mo a lecture on Confucianism and law every day, in Zang Hong's words, these things contain the great principles and wisdom left by the sages, but in addition to learning these, he also began to give Chen Mo a few military books for Chen Mo to study by himself.

Martial arts, eating, studying, studying, sleeping.

Chen Mo's life was simple and fulfilling, Tang Yuan's sneaking into the Yellow Turban was stranded because of a severe beating by his father afterwards, and Chen Mo didn't see him for the next month.

Until a month later, when Chen Mo and Tang Yuan saw each other again, the child was limping, but the child was also stubborn, and he still didn't give up this idea, but now he was not good at doing it, so he could only wait for his injuries to heal before leaving.

But he didn't wait for this opportunity.

In the next few months, all the news of the defeat of the Yellow Turban came, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun quickly recovered Chen State, Runan, Chen Liu and other places after defeating Yingchuan Bocai, and most of the Yellow Turbans in the Central Plains were swept away, followed by Zhu Jun in June to lead the troops south to attack the Nanyang Yellow Turban, and Huangfu Song led the army north to Jizhou.

Nanyang Qushuai Zhang Mancheng was also beheaded in June.

In August, although there was no victory, but first it was reported that Xuzhou Qu Shuai Lei Gong was killed by his subordinates, and most of the Xuzhou Yellow Turban Army surrendered, and then Bu Ji and other Yellow Turban Qu Shuai were captured alive, and the slashed was killed, followed by the great sage and good teacher Zhang Jiao also died of illness, and all of a sudden, the entire Yellow Turban Army was completely leaderless, and only Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao were still in Guangzong to lead the army to confront the Han army.

In September, Huangfu Song defeated Zhang Liang, Zhang Liang died in battle, and in November, Huangfu Song broke Zhang Bao's more than 100,000 Yellow Turban Army in Shangquyang, and Zhang Bao died in battle.

At this point, the main force of the Yellow Turban has been wiped out, although there are still remnants of the Taiping Sect in various places, but with the death of the three brothers Zhang Jiao, Zhang Liang, and Zhang Bao, Tang Yuan has not waited for his injuries to heal, the Yellow Turban has been defeated, and his plan to go out to sharpen can only be stillborn.

Until this time, many people still find it hard to believe that the Taiping Rebellion, which violently swept the whole world, was almost thought to be a war like the end of the Han Dynasty at the beginning of the year, but it was quickly extinguished in just nine months, and the speed was staggering.

However, after a war that spread all over the world, it was followed by a plague, including a large-scale plague in Qingzhou.

It seems that in order to change the fortunes of the country, the imperial court changed the year name from Guanghe to Zhongping as early as the beginning of the year, just because the war has not been spread, and at the end of the year, Chen Mo knew that the year name had been changed, but for people like them, there seems to be no difference between changing the year name and not changing, the epidemic after the war seems to be more terrifying than the Taiping rebellion, but in January, all counties in Qingzhou were under martial law, and whistles were set up at various intersections to prohibit merchants from passing, and this disaster lasted until April of the second year of Zhongping. It's just that no one knows how many people died in this plague, but many places have become empty cities......
