After Zeng Yu gave the order to reward the soldiers, he asked Wang Qing and the other three commanders to notify him, and after a day of repair, he would go north.

For Zeng Yu's order, everyone has no objection, they are all soldiers, even Guo Jia is better at battlefield planning, and can continue to attack the enemy and make contributions, which is the pursuit of all martial artists.

After Wang Qing and the others went down, they asked the military judge to hand over the statistics of all the soldiers' combat exploits. After the discussion between Zeng Yu and Guo Jia, on the morning of the second day, all the soldiers of the unclothed army received an order to go to the tent to receive the bounty.

At Guo Jia's suggestion, the bounty was personally distributed by Zeng Yu, so that the soldiers could more intuitively feel that Zeng Yu was kind to them.

Wang Qing didn't care about Zeng Yu's approach, and they also had more important things to do. This matter is to take advantage of the bounty to be distributed, they want to take the prisoners of the Yellow Turban Army and bring them under their command.

There were more than 6,000 prisoners in total, and because of the lack of archers in the Yellow Turban Army, Wu Shi's archer battalion only made up for the establishment of 3,000 people, and the rest were left to the Ruishi battalion and the warrior battalion.

With the joy of the unclothed army receiving the bounty, Wang Qing and Pei Yuanshao were very successful in the collection of prisoners. Pei Yuanshao also counted his wounded soldiers in the battle damage, and replenished more than 1,800 people at once, and the rest were all included in the Ruishi battalion by Wang Qing. On the same day, Wang Qing sent all the seriously wounded soldiers and prisoners to Xiangyuan County.

After a day of repairing, Zeng Yu sent someone to Tongyu County to inform Deng Tong. At this time, the Yellow Turban Army was gone, and the city gate of Tongluo County did not want to be closed as before, and after the messenger entered the city and informed Deng Tong, Deng Tong asked the messenger to express his gratitude again.

After Zeng Yu got the messenger's reply, he led the army to open the dial. After Deng Tong replied to the messenger, he also led the crowd up to the city wall, and watched Zeng Yu's camp erect the banner of the Han Dynasty, fluttering the flag, and heading north.

In the county government of Anping County, Sun Hao, who was in charge of the county government affairs instead of Zeng Yu, saw the messenger sent back by Zeng Yu. The messenger told Sun Hao about Zeng Yu's march and the battle, and at the same time conveyed Zeng Yu's orders to him.

Sun Hao asked Liu Neng and Gude to be called, and told them what he knew, and at the same time mentioned that he needed to send people to the junction between Anping and Yang'a to make prisoners.

"Uncle Bird, the county government still needs you to sit in the town, about the reception of prisoners, who do you think is more appropriate?" Sun Hao asked Gude.

"It's better to let Guo Yue lead a thousand county soldiers to go, although he was one of the leaders of Huanglongzhai before, but he has been in service for half a year, and there has been nothing abnormal. And the three of them joined us together, as their eldest brother, Yang Xun has been serving in the cavalry battalion, but he has no objection to the lord's arrangement for Zilong to suppress him, but instead helps Zilong better establish his prestige. ”

In addition to Yang Xun, the other Guo Yue and Gongsun Ao have always been Gude's deputies to help take charge of the county soldiers, so this time Sun Hao asked about the candidates, and the first thing Gude thought of was Guo Yue.

"Since it was recommended by you, then according to your wishes. However, I remember that Wenjiang doesn't have anything specific now, so it's better to let him and Guo Yue together, with Guo Yue as the main and Wenjiang as the auxiliary, to bring back the more than 10,000 captives intact. Sun Hao would not refuse Goode's proposal, but he was not familiar with Guo Yue, but trusted the brothers from Qianlong Village even more. After all, there were more than 10,000 captives, so Sun Hao also sent Wei Feng over, and he knew that Wei Feng would definitely be willing.

"According to Zijin's intentions, I will also go and arrange houses for these people, and I have to inform Hongzhi to prepare to receive them. With these manpower, the scale of our Tuntian soldiers can be expanded again. Liu Neng said next to him.

"Haha, the scale of the Tuntian soldiers is larger, which means that our heritage is deeper and can support a larger force, which is a good thing." Goode said.

"Yes, but should we report this news to the imperial court?" Sun Hao proposed.

"This matter is not urgent, if we need to report to the imperial court, the lord will definitely let the messenger inform us, but this time, since the eldest brother didn't say it, I think I hope to completely wipe out the Yellow Turban Army later." Liu Neng objected to Sun Hao's proposal.

"But we have made such a great contribution, if the court does not know at all, wouldn't we be like a brocade at night. Moreover, the officers and soldiers of various places are now at a disadvantage in the battle with the Yellow Turban Army, and reporting it at this time can highlight our combat exploits. Sun Hao insisted.

Liu Neng thought for a moment, and then said: "That's it, let's gather everyone over in the evening, and we'll discuss it before deciding." ”

"It's okay, Yuan Hao and Hongzhi will be notified by you, and the others will be handed over to me. Yachuan, you go and contact Wen Jiang and ask him and Guo Yue to leave as early as tomorrow. Sun Hao nodded and agreed, and then instructed the two.

After Gude went down, he first sent someone to inform Wei Feng and let him go to his mansion. He first went to the barracks in the county, where 2,000 county soldiers were stationed, and he asked Guo Yuehuan to come and tell him to lead 1,000 county soldiers to set off tomorrow and go to the junction of Anze County and Yang'a County to wait for the people who came back from Xiangyuan County.

At the end of Shen Shi, the three adjutant officials of Anping County, plus Tian Feng, He Yan and Xie Jing, came to the county government to discuss with Sun Hao after receiving the notice. As for the others, not for the time being

Sun Hao has been waiting for them in the county office, and after everyone arrived, everyone sat down in turn, among which Liu Neng and Gude sat at the top of the left and right respectively.

"Zhiyuan, tell everyone about the battle situation of the Yellow Turban Army in various states." Sun Hao was not verbose, and took the lead in commanding Xie Jing.

Xie Jing didn't shirk either, he had only reported the situation to Sun Hao before, so he knew that other people didn't know much about the current situation of the Yellow Turban Army.

"Since the Yellow Turban Army uprising, they have quickly swept through the states of Dahan with the momentum of sparks. It has been nearly two months now, and the Yellow Turban Army has gradually developed into three major departments and countless small divisions, among the three major divisions, Zhang Jiao's power in Jizhou is the largest, and the other two Yellow Turban Army are in Yingchuan and Nanyang respectively. These three Yellow Turban Corps fought separately, and although they did not leave the area where they were fighting for the time being, the local area was almost completely under the control of the Yellow Turban Army. As for the scattered units of the Yellow Turban Army in other places, there is no big climate at present, but it also makes the local government exhausted, and at most it can only maintain self-protection.

The imperial court sent men and horses to exterminate the three major divisions of the Yellow Turban Army, but the imperial army suffered a series of defeats shortly after its departure. First of all, the Yellow Turban of Chengchuan defeated Zhu Jun, and then the Yellow Turban of Runan defeated Zhao Qian in Shaoling (now east of Yuncheng, Henan), and the Yellow Turban Army scattered in various places was also not to be outdone, and the Guangyang Yellow Turban killed Guo Xun and Liu Wei, the assassin of Youzhou. As for some prefectures and counties, county guards and county orders were killed, and the prefectures and counties fell under the control of the Yellow Turban Army. “

After the situation report, Xie Jing saluted Sun Hao, indicating that the general situation was exactly like this.

Sun Hao nodded to indicate that he knew, then looked at the others, and saw that everyone was also shocked, and they knew at this time that the world of this big man had been eroded to such a point because of the Yellow Turban Army.

"Now the imperial court must have received battle reports from all over the country, almost all of them were news of defeat, even the men and horses recruited by the imperial court were defeated by the Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan. If we send the news of the eldest brother's victory back to the imperial court at this time, it will greatly increase our position in the imperial court, as long as we plan it, even if the eldest brother is promoted to the head of a county, it is not impossible. Sun Hao said.

Liu Neng and Tian Feng were both confused by the series of news that Xie Jing said just now, even Liu Neng, who had just refuted Sun Hao and hoped to report to the court after Zeng Yu's order, did not immediately refute it for a while.

Sun Hao is not in a hurry, he knows that these people are all sincere to Zeng Yu, and the reason why they have different opinions is just because of different starting points.

However, he knew that Xie Jing had been following Zeng Yu and knew Zeng Yu very well, and Xie Jing had already known about these news, so Sun Hao Xie Jing asked: "Zhiyuan, what do you think of my proposal just now?" ”

"Brother Zijin, since the lord is now helping the Yellow Turban Army repelled by the county order of Xiangyuan County, presumably the county order of Xiangyuan County will definitely report to the imperial court. Moreover, the county guard of Shangdang County was killed by the Yellow Turban Army half a month ago, and judging from the time, the imperial court should have received the news soon. If we report our achievements to the imperial court at this time, it will inevitably make the imperial court feel that there are too many coincidences. Xie Jing had thought about this question before, and now that Sun Hao asked, he immediately replied.

"That's right, the lord has a gap with the county guard Cui Ming, and the Cui family is a big family, when someone is an official in the court, and at this time, he is afraid that there will be villains, but it will be unfavorable to the lord." The others also reacted, and Liu Neng was the first to speak.

"If we don't do anything, the people of the Cui family will also speak, and the court will also think that we deliberately delayed and caused the county guard to be killed." This is Goode's opinion, and what he thinks is very simple, if you have merit, you should be rewarded.

"I once heard the lord say that we also have connections in the army, we might as well reveal something to them, first, we can let the other party know our ability, and second, if someone slanders the lord, you can also let the local government help cover it, and wait for the lord to take down the head of the Yellow Turban Army Qu Marshal Zuo Zhangba, who invaded the state, and then report the merits to the court." Tian Feng proposed.

When Sun Hao and the others heard this, they all knew who Tian Feng was talking about, especially Xie Jing, who had personally been to the capital to see each other before. At this time, after listening to Tian Feng's advice, although they felt that this seemed to be insulting to the demeanor of the scholars, if it was for the sake of the great cause, it was not impossible to be a little humiliated.
