The war ended, the resistance of the Yellow Turban Army ended, many people died, and many people were alive to beg for mercy.

Dong Zhuo said to Lu Zhi that he would kill all these people and cast them into Jingguan, so as to warn those who were plotting against him that if he wanted to rebel in the future, he should think about the consequences, which could play a deterrent role.

Guo Peng knew that in the original history, Huangfu Song did this, killed 100,000 people, cast Jingguan with the heads of 100,000 people, shocked the world, and became the first general of the Han Dynasty, and he was in the limelight for a while.

But Lu Zhi refused, saying that this would be too tyrannical, would chill people's hearts, and would make the land even more difficult to rule, so it must not be done.

Lu Zhi arranged for the county magistrates to bring people back to their jurisdictions to enrich the population, and at the same time admonished these people to remember the fate of doing so and punish them.

Dong Zhuo was dissatisfied with this and complained to Guo Peng in private.

He felt that Lu Zhi was too easy to forgive these rioters, and these rioters might rise up to make trouble in the future, and only killing could deter people's hearts and let them know their fear, so that they would not dare to make trouble.

"Ming Mansion, have there been fewer Jingguan built by successive dynasties since ancient times?"

Guo Peng poured a glass of wine for Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo frowned, not understanding what Guo Peng meant.

"If you can't eat, no matter how much Jingguan you cast to show them, they will still be opposed, hunger is not something that Jingguan can fill, if the yellow scarf does not come back, the only way is to let Li Shu eat his stomach."

After listening to Guo Peng's words, Dong Zhuo unexpectedly felt that it made sense, but this was not in line with his usual style of acting, although he felt that it was reasonable, but he still liked his own set.

And he has heard too much of this kind of empty talk, as if he can do it with a few words.

said lightly, eat a full stomach, but how difficult it is to eat a full stomach, Dong Zhuo himself deeply experienced it when he was young.

In order to earn fame, he would rather go hungry than feed his subordinates and friends, and that's how he came over.

He felt that Guo Peng was still too young to see through the evils in this world, and he had never been hungry or cold, and he had never experienced that kind of thing.

However, there were some things that he didn't want to say, so he praised Guo Peng.

"It is worthy of being a disciple of Confucianism, Zifeng has made great contributions this time, and after he goes back, I am afraid that there will be unexpected rich rewards!"

Dong Zhuo toasted Guo Peng, who raised his glass with a smile.

"The Ming Mansion has won the award, Peng has only made a small contribution, the main credit is still the teacher's, and Peng is only twenty years old, and he can't be promoted if he wants to."

Dong Zhuo thinks so, but Guo Peng's contribution is really not simple, if he is not promoted now, he can be given priority when he is promoted in the future, so it must be a super potential stock, and it is necessary to make friends.

So before parting, Dong Zhuo gave Guo Peng some property and thirty war horses to make friends, Guo Peng gave Dong Zhuo some captured gold and silverware, and also wrote to Dong Zhuo.

After this battle, Dong Zhuo's troops and horses were transferred by the imperial court to the direction of Zhuojun in the north, and there were still some remnants of the Yellow Turban in the direction of Zhuojun that needed to be exterminated, so this task was handed over to Dong Zhuo.

Lu Zhi dismissed the Hebei volunteers and took the headquarters of more than 16,000 people left when they came to Yanzhou East County, where some yellow scarves were also active.

After dealing with the Yellow Turban Army in Dongjun, it is necessary to go south to Nanyang, meet the troops of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, and completely quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Credits will be awarded after the complete eradication of the Yellow Turban Army, and now the war will continue, in a word, the counterinsurgency has not yet been successful, and everyone still has to work hard.

This time, Lu Zhi sent scouts to collect information first, and obtained information that a Yellow Turban Army was gathering in the area of Dong'e County, Dongjun County, and was moving towards Cangtingjin.

According to the scouts, there are about 30,000 people in this Yellow Turban Army, and the powerful volunteers of Dongjun are fighting with them, and their situation is not good, and it is not difficult to exterminate them.

However, there are many Yellow Turban thieves, and there are few volunteers in the county, so there is always a risk of being attacked.

After Lu Zhi learned this, he decided to use Guo Peng as the vanguard, and led 3,000 cavalry to Dongjun to meet the righteous army to clamp down on the main force of the Yellow Turban Army, and Lu Zhi led the main army to follow.

After receiving the order, Guo Peng ordered 1,000 cavalry and 2,000 foot soldiers to speed up the march, and four days later arrived at Dongwuyang County on the north bank of the Yellow River, where he was replenished with grain, grass and some ordnance supplies, and it was August 11.

Early in the morning of the 12th, Guo Peng led his army across the river and arrived at Cangtingjin.

As a result, as soon as 500 cavalry crossed the river, they encountered an attack by a Yellow Turban Army, the number of which was about 500 people.

The Yellow Turban soldiers were defeated by Guo Peng's cavalry before they had time to form a confrontation, and the Han army killed more than 600 Yellow Turban soldiers, and the rest scattered and fled.

After that, Guo Peng asked the defenders of Cangtingjin about the news of the Yellow Turban Army here, and learned that the main force of the Yellow Turban Army was besieging Dong'e County, with a total number of about 30,000, and the leader was called Bu Ji.

Bu had already sent people to harass Cangtingjin before, and was repulsed, if Guo Peng hadn't arrived in time this time, Cangtingjin's eighty-odd people would definitely not be their opponents.

The Yellow Turban Army usually operates with family members such as the elderly, weak, women and children, so the total number of more than 30,000 people, the number of soldiers who can fight is only five or six thousand, and the maximum number of soldiers and horses will not exceed 7,000, which will definitely not be much more than the soldiers and horses in Guo Peng's hands, forming an absolute superiority in strength.

Faced with such a gap in numbers, as well as their style of acting with their families, Guo Peng had an idea.

Guo Peng analyzed that he wanted to attack Cangtingjin probably because he was going to cross the river to Hebei to find the main force of the Yellow Turbans, and as for attacking Dong'e County, it was probably for plundering and supplying.

Guo Peng thought for a moment, and sent Xiahou Yuan to lead the scouts to inquire about the news near Dong'e County, search for news about the main force of the Yellow Turban Army, and then see if Dong'e County has now been captured by the Yellow Turban Army.

In the afternoon of the same day, Xiahou Yuan came back and said that Dong'e County was still resisting, and the Yellow Turban Army was besieging Dong'e County, and it seemed that Dong'e County was in danger.

Guo Peng nodded, and ordered Xiahou Yuan Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren to straighten out the soldiers and horses, he decided to try to make a move with Bu, and he couldn't bring the soldiers and horses over but was afraid to move forward, this was not his Guo someone's style of acting.

Facing the remnants of this Yellow Turban Army, Guo still wanted to try to see if his ability to fight alone had improved without Lu Zhi.

After months of military service, Guo Peng felt that he had changed a lot from the inside out, and now it was time to test whether this state was reliable.

When Guo led his army to Dong'e County, Bu Ji, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, knew that the team he sent to occupy Cangtingjin had failed.

was defeated by a Han cavalry, this Han cavalry was quite sharp, and his soldiers were no match for that cavalry at all.

Bu was already nervous, he immediately guarded the soldiers and horses back to the camp, stopped attacking Dong'e County, and left only part of the soldiers and horses to guard against the few defenders of Dong'e County, and then prepared for defense with all his strength to deal with the upcoming Han army.

The volunteer defenders in Dong'e County felt very strange, the Yellow Turban thieves who were still attacking the county town had actually collected their troops and returned to the camp, looking at the sky, it was only afternoon, and there were still more than two hours before sunset, so it was not the time to collect the troops and return to the camp, right?

Cheng Li, the leader of the righteous army, stood on the city wall to observe the situation of the Yellow Turban Army, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"It's still early at this time, the Yellow Turban Thieves shouldn't retreat back to the camp, what are they planning?"
