Chapter 47: The Road to Entry

As soon as Zhao Ci took a breath, a figure flashed outside the tent.

"Who?" Zhao Ci chased out, and when he saw that no one outside the tent was outside, he returned to the tent. But I vaguely saw a person standing with his back to him in the dark, and the man smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to miss sometimes, hehehe." ”

Zhao Ci guessed his identity after listening to him, and said: "There is a tiger general under Qin Jie's account, and his martial arts are extremely high. And he seems to know that Han Xuan, if I don't rely on light skills, I am afraid it will be difficult to get out. Who is this Han Xuan, and why is that knife in the hands of one of his guards? ”

The man in the shadows said, "Why are you asking so much, since you missed, Han Xuan must have taken precautions." Then you don't make another move, just keep an eye on his movements, and the above has its own arrangements. ”

After the man finished speaking, he disappeared out of thin air in the blink of an eye, and only Zhao Ci was left in the camp.

The next day, Zhu Jun led the high-morale Han army to pursue the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, and the remnants of the Yellow Turbans supported Han Zhong as the new commander of the Qu, and fled to the Jingshan Mountains in Western Hubei under the leadership of Han Zhong.

Zhu Jun ordered the army to guard the mountain pass and surrounded the Jingshan group. After several days of siege, the remnants of the Yellow Turbans on the mountain had no food and began to eat grass roots and bark. Seeing this, Han Zhong wanted to lead the crowd to surrender.

In the tent of the Han army, the scout reported to Zhu Jun that a white flag had been raised on the mountain. There was a lot of discussion among the generals, some advocating surrender and some opposing.

Han Xuan stepped forward and bowed: "General, now that the thieves on the mountain have run out of food, it is already the end of the road. They were originally poor people, and they rebelled only after being bewitched by Zhang Jiao. It is better to descend on the ground to avoid the misery of life. ”

Zhu Jun looked at Han Xuan and asked the generals, "Who is this?" ”

Qin Jie stepped forward and motioned for him to retreat while giving Han Xuan a wild look, and said to Zhu Jun: "This person is Han Xuan, the master of the army under my account. ”

Xu Xuan asked: "This person is still young, how can he do the position of chief bookkeeper under the beginning?" ”

Qin Jie smiled at Zhu Jun and Xu Xuan in a cold sweat: "The lower official is guilty, but the lower official knows no one else. ”

Zhu Jun smiled and said: "This is a woman's kindness!" If I allow him to go down the mountain and surrender, will I not make the world think that there is nothing to fear in rebellion, and that he can avoid death by surrendering? ”

Han Xuan retreated to the side and sighed helplessly, it was really difficult to rescue the Yellow Turban Army from Zhu Jun, a butcher.

So Zhu Jun ordered the Han army to attack the mountain, and the Yellow Turban army saw that the Han army did not agree to their request to surrender, so they desperately resisted. The remnants of the Yellow Turban Army relied on the condescending terrain to repel the attacks of the Han army several times. Zhu Jun sent troops to attack for several days, but they failed to attack the mountain, and he couldn't help frowning.

Qin Jie has been blaming Han Xuan for the past few days, going to the big tent to discuss the military situation and never bring Han Xuan with him again. Qin Jie came back with a straight face, Han Xuan asked the reason, it turned out that the Han army could not attack the mountain, Zhu Jun blamed them for supervising the army, and scolded Qin Jie and other generals with their heads covered in the face.

Han Xuan said: "Lord Taishou, I have a strategy to break the enemy. Lord Taishou can go and offer to General Zhu. I just hope that Lord Taishou will forgive me for talking about the mistakes of the adults before I go down, and don't forget the agreement between us. ”

Qin Jie's mood gradually calmed down, and said: "This official promised to seek an official for you, and he will keep his word." Tell me what you have planned. ”

Han Xuan smiled and said, "Now the remnants of the Yellow Turban on the mountain are surrounded on all sides, and they can't break through. Our army did not allow it to surrender, and it was bound to fight to the death. The so-called siege division must be que, just let go of a mountain pass, the thieves will definitely flock to it, and then our army will be able to win a big victory when it attacks head-on! ”

Qin Jie went to tell Zhu Jun about this strategy, and after listening to it, Zhu Jun was like an initiation, patted his head, held Qin Jie's two wrists with both hands and said: "It's a loss to remind you that this general has committed a taboo without knowing it!" ”

Zhu Jun immediately ordered an elite army to ambush the mountain pass in the southeast corner, and then let people open the mountain pass.

Han Zhong really came out of the mountain pass with a large number of Yellow Turban remnants, and the Han soldiers who had been ambushed calmed down, and when the Yellow Turban remnants came out for most of the time, they suddenly killed and sealed the mountain pass again.

Zhu Jun waved his army to kill the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, and Han Zhong and others were frightened when they saw the Han army shouting to kill from all sides, and they hurriedly responded to the battle.

For a time, the Yellow Turban soldiers were beheaded by the soldiers of the Han army like cutting wheat. Qin Jie's overseers rushed into the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, slashing left and right, and the Yellow Turbans fled in all directions wailing. More than a dozen Han soldiers surrounded Han Zhong with spears, and Han Zhong had to put down his weapons and dismount and surrender.

Several Han soldiers escorted Han Zhong to Qin Jie, Qin Jie was still angry because he was scolded by Zhu Jun for attacking the mountain before, and when he saw the leader of the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, he was furious and stabbed Han Zhong to death with a sword.

In this battle, Zhu Jun led the army to kill more than 10,000 people of the Yellow Turban Army, and the remaining Yellow Turban Army that fled in all directions was disbanded.

At this time, it was just September, and Zhu Jun won a big victory. He saw that the overall situation of Nanyang had been decided, so he led the army to return to the court, and Emperor Ling of Han heard that Zhu Jun triumphantly set up a royal banquet to greet him.

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was overjoyed after listening to Zhu Jun's report on the results of the battle, and named Zhu Jun as the general of the right chariot cavalry, the Marquis of Qiantang, and the number of households increased by 2,000. He also ordered Qin Jie to continue to lead Nanyang Taishou and seal the capital Tinghou. As for Xu Xuan, because he had exposed the corruption of Zhang Zhong, the nephew of the Empress Dowager Dong, he was fabricated by Zhang Zhong and the eunuchs such as the Ten Standing Attendants. Because of the merit of breaking the thief this time, he was only removed from the official position of Jingzhou Assassin and ordered him to go home.

After hearing the reward, Qin Jie returned to Nanyang and held a banquet in Wancheng to celebrate his achievements with his subordinates. Everyone was drunk, but Han Xuan had no intention of celebrating.

When Qin Jie was drunk and helped back to rest by his subordinates, Han Xuan hurriedly chased after him and asked, "Congratulations to Lord Qin for becoming an official, I don't know if Lord Taishou can get an official position in the next place?" Han Xuan agreed with him at that time to help him give advice, and all the military merits were attributed to him, so he only asked him to ask for a county official for himself, preferably in Luo County.

I saw Qin Jie pointing at Han Xuan and said drunkenly, "Ang, you are Han ...... Black. This official asked for the post of county lieutenant of Luo County for you. ”

Han Xuan was a little disappointed, he thought that he would be able to run back to Luo County to become the county magistrate. I didn't expect to be only a county lieutenant, and the county lieutenant was just an adjutant of the county order, responsible for catching thieves and the like.

Qin Jie sneered when he saw his expression: "Don't be dissatisfied, this little county lieutenant is still what I asked for you when I visited Xia Changshi as a heavy gift." The official uniform is in the hands of the little eunuch in the back hall, you go to him. ”

Han Xuan asked again: "Then the thousand Xiangyong brought by Xia can I take them back to Luo County now?" ”

Qin Jie waved his hand and said, "Dial you five hundred...... Elite soldiers are your ...... Hiccup, retinue, go back to Luo County and take office. Okay, the official has to rest...... Rest, go down. Qin Jie rubbed his red face from wine on the face of a maid beside him, put his arms around her waist and closed the door.

Han Xuan had no choice but to turn back and go to the back hall, only to see that the little eunuch had been waiting for a long time.

Han Xuan bowed and said: "Let the adults wait for a long time, the official uniform seal letter can be here, and I will come to get it in the next place." ”

Han Xuan waited with both hands for the little eunuch to hand it to him, only to see the little eunuch standing there without speaking, and stretched out his hand and threw a wink at Han Xuan. Han Xuan said peaty in his heart, it was too disgusting, but he still took out all the money on his body and gave it to him.

The little eunuch smiled and accepted the money bag, and said in an extremely motherly voice: "Congratulations to Master Han, oh no, Lord Han." I wish Lord Han a promotion and a fortune, hehehe. ”

The little eunuch let out a shrill and weird laugh, and Han Xuan gasped when he heard it, and almost squirted out a mouthful of saliva. The little eunuch said and gave Han Xuan the official uniform seal letter.

Han Xuan took it with both hands, bowed his head and walked out quickly. As soon as Han Xuan thought that he could also be an official, he couldn't help but hold his official uniform and kiss it a few times, and the little eunuch's face suddenly appeared in his mind, and he immediately spit out a few mouthfuls of saliva in disgust.
