The cold light of the sword blade flashed, Zhang Jiao raised his long sword with an indifferent face, and looked up at Zhao Yi and other generals: "Although I died today, the fire of the uprising has been planted, and the spark of the stars can become a prairie fire." ”

The brothers Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang both committed suicide, and the vigorous Yellow Turban Uprising, which lasted for several months, came to an end. The officials and soldiers were jubilant, Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song immediately reported the result to the imperial court, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion made people unstable all over the world. This report on the situation of the battle is enough to shock people's hearts.

Those Zhang Jiao's personal guards buried the bodies of Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang, and under the leadership of the personal guard generals, they came to the military camp of Zhao Yi's department, and the general said that he wanted to join Zhao Yi's department.

"Bolai, these soldiers are all Zhang Jiao's cronies, we have previously discussed with General Huangfu and General Zhu, and we unanimously agreed to kill these soldiers on how to deal with them." Cao Cao's decision also makes sense, although Zhang Jiao died, but the loyalty of these soldiers to Zhang Jiao did not dissipate with Zhang Jiao's death, leaving this kind of soldier by his side is simply burying a sharp sword beside him, when you are a little negligent, these soldiers will stab you fiercely.

Zhao Yi stared at the Yellow Turban soldier in front of him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "If you hear General Cao's words, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" ”

The leader looked at Zhao Yi without fear, and replied angrily: "The lord once told us that only General Zhao is willing to take us in and has the courage to take us in. ”

This seems to be very elevating Zhao Yi, Liu Bei is really afraid that Zhao Yi is young and vigorous, and he was so provoked by Zhang Jiao that he agreed to these people, and hurriedly said: "Bolai, don't fall for Zhang Jiao's agitation." ”

Zhao Yi thanked Liu Bei for his reminder, but he still took these soldiers for his own use, not only because of Zhang Jiao's words, but more importantly, because he valued the quality of these people. If you can influence these soldiers to use them for your own use. At that time, as long as you have a little training, it will be a sharp sword in your hand.

Moreover, Zhao Yi has not yet adapted these people into his own military camp, and is still led by that leader. It's just that they were temporarily incorporated into the Gao Shun Division.

Not to mention that Cao Cao and Liu Bei are very strange in this move, even the leader is also very strange, although there are not many of these hundreds of people in his hands, but in some special circumstances, these hundreds of people can do something big that is difficult for tens of thousands of troops.

Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song's army rested in Quyang, although the officers and troops of the war won a complete victory, but the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, nearly 60,000 officers and soldiers from the Changshe came out, at this time there were less than 30,000, especially Huangfu Song's department, there were less than 7,000 soldiers left, if it were not for the complete victory, Huangfu Song's fate is estimated to be the same as Dong Zhuo.

While resting the army here, several people are also waiting for the echo of the imperial court here, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun look at people very accurately, Zhao Yi, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Jian under their own account, the four people will definitely have a bright future in the future, and their achievements may be far above them.

In the past few days, the officers and soldiers have celebrated, and each camp is full of the noise of soldiers, but Zhao Yi's department is very quiet, and at this time, the fire in front of Zhao Yi's army tent is full of sky.

In front of these fires, there were soldiers standing in front of them, and Zhao Yi personally sacrificed the three Zhang Jiao brothers tonight. During the period, the three of them were greatly appreciated. Zhao Yi compared Zhang Jiao with Chen Sheng at the end of the Qin Dynasty. Both were vigorous, but they didn't last long. But they all created the beginning of an era.

Nearly ninety percent of Zhao Yi's soldiers were from the Yellow Turban Army, and at this time, he saw Zhao Yi personally sacrificing Zhang Jiao, and his evaluation of Zhang Jiao was still so high. "My lord, is the Yellow Turban Army really as good as you say?"

Zhao Yi changed his smiling face in the past, and nodded solemnly: "Zhang Jiao is a hero in the world, if I think differently, I may not be so good." Yes, in the eyes of others, Zhang Jiao and I are endless rivals. Actually, I appreciate and respect Zhang Jiao, and if it weren't for the fact that we are our own masters, I think we would have become friends. ”

These words made Zhao Yi raise the level in the hearts of these soldiers by a level, and the newly thrown guards today also looked at Zhao Yi a little pleasing to the eye.

The good news of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun was sent to the imperial court with an expedited 400 li, and the court was jubilant, and all the ministers were happy on their faces, and all the ministers praised the martial arts of Wenzhi one after another, and the emperor Hongfu was able to destroy the enemy army so quickly.

The annihilation of the rebels was celebrated by the whole country, and in just a few months, 360,000 rebels were annihilated. Emperor Ling praised: "My Han is a country cast of copper and iron, pass on my orders, and reward the soldiers who participated in the battle!" ”

Huangfu Song was promoted to the general of the chariot cavalry by the imperial court because of his merits, Henan Yin. Zhu Jun is the pastor of Jizhou.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun mentioned Zhao Yi's merits many times in the good news, which made He Jin and Zhang Rang pay more attention, but the two had a tacit understanding and did not let Zhao Yi enter the court as an official, because they all knew that it was useless to hang a general in the capital, and there was no real power in their hands. If there is a general like Zhao Yi who has a heavy army and is quite prestigious outside to help him, then his position in the court will be even more consolidated.

Zhao Yun stood up again at this time, and politely rejected He Jin and Zhang Rang on the grounds that Zhao Yi was uneducated: "Zhao Yi is just a child, it may be possible to march and fight, but it may not be possible to govern the state and county." If the official position of the governor of the frontier is handed over to Zhao Yi, his subordinates are afraid that Zhao Yi will disappoint the emperor. And let Zhao Yi exercise for a few more years in the following counties, and then make calculations. ”

Zhao Yun heard that He Jin actually promoted Zhao Yi as the pastor of Youzhou, but Zhao Yun jumped, this is the official of the feudal territory. The big official position also represents a big risk, these state pastoral officials, the DPRK and the central government have been paying close attention, the slightest carelessness, it is very likely to lose their lives, and even more will affect the Zhao family.

Emperor Ling agreed with Zhao Yun's words, but let Zhao Yi enter Beijing to be entitled, saying that he wanted to see this young talent.

He Jin and Zhang Rang were surprisingly consistent this time, bowing down and talking about Emperor Shengming, but their eyes were constantly turning, Zhao Yi's coming to Beijing was an opportunity, an opportunity to bring Zhao Yi under his command.

At the end of the court meeting, He Jin and Zhang Rang came to Zhao Yun one after another, and they all said the same thing: "Zhao Shangshu, do you have time tonight?" "They want to use Zhao Yun as a breakthrough and let Zhao Yi return to their command.

The strength of the two sides in the DPRK and China is almost the same, and Zhao Yun is extremely difficult to choose, so he has to find an excuse to push off the dinner. Zhao Yun, who has been an official for many years, still has such face in the court this time, but Zhao Yun does not dare to ask for this face, nor does he dare to give it. When he returned to Zhao's house, Zhao Yu's clothes were soaked in cold sweat.

Wife Chen asked about today's court meeting, the Yellow Turban Army was annihilated, Zhao Yi once again made a contribution, this morning Chen had instructed Zhao Yun, let him use the relationship in the court to transfer Zhao Yi to the capital as an official, save the pain of separation.

Zhao Yun smiled bitterly: "Madame's situation at today's court meeting is complicated, and before my colleagues can speak, He Jin and Zhang Rang have already been deadlocked, and Yi'er has been pushed to a high position like Youzhou Mu." Fortunately, I shirked it in time, and I demoted Yi'er to the county guard of Zhuo County. ”

Chen was stunned for a moment, not expecting that the son he thought would be unsuccessful could cause a shock in the court.

He Jin and Zhang Rang's ideas, Zhao Yun can also guess a thing or two, he has already told Zhao Yi to hide clumsy, to be relaxed, and not to blindly show the edge. But Zhao Yi didn't listen, and made the situation today, Zhao Yun slapped the table: "I want to see how you deal with it when you arrive in the capital." In the wooing of He Jin and Zhang Rang, Zhao Yi must also be in a dilemma. If he is not careful, Zhao Yi's future will be ruined, and Zhao Yi's life will be lost. In this struggle for talent, it is impossible to let a person with a strategy become a staff member of his opponent either for his own use or as soon as possible.

Although Zhao Yun said angry words, he still wrote a letter about this matter and asked the house slave to report it to Zhao Yi to know, so that Zhao Yi could be prepared.

After more than ten days of rest, most of the wounded soldiers had almost recovered from their injuries, and the people of Quyang, after learning the news of the defeat of the Yellow Turban Army, returned to the city again.

On this day, Zhao Yi received the decree of the imperial court to let Huangfu Song and others enter Beijing to be entitled, and Zhao Yi was slightly surprised that his name appeared in the holy decree. Cao Cao and the others' complexions changed, and they could guess that Zhao Yi would definitely make steady progress when he entered Beijing this time. Cao Cao and several people congratulated one after another, and Zhao Yi responded politely one by one, but he didn't want to enter Beijing in his heart, and Zhao Yi could guess the situation between the DPRK and China at this time.

It is said that officialdom is like a battlefield, but in Zhao Yi's view, the situation of officialdom is as good as the battlefield, unlike the frontal rush on the battlefield, the officialdom is invisible, as long as you make a slight mistake, you will definitely die without a place to be buried.

At this time, the emperor had already made a will, and Zhao Yi could only obey it. Although the situation is turbulent now, it is far from the time when the imperial power will fall. Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and Liu Bei led their troops back to their respective stations, and Zhao Yi, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Jun led the army back to Beijing to offer victory. The 360,000 Yellow Turban Army fell apart, but Zhao Yi and others walked in the countryside, and they could still hear villagers talking about the Yellow Turban Army, saying that there were small Yellow Turban Army activities in their villages. The small group of Yellow Turbans numbered from a few dozen to thousands.

As Zhang Jiao said before he died, a spark can start a prairie fire. Zhao Yi sighed: "The Yellow Turban thieves are endless." ”

When this small group of Yellow Turban Army got the news that Zhao Yi and other officials and soldiers had arrived, they didn't know where to run for a long time, even though Zhao Yi and Huangfu Song now had tens of thousands of male soldiers in their hands, they couldn't wipe out this small group of Yellow Turban Army.

"I thought that if I killed Zhang Jiao, the Yellow Turban Army would collapse, but I didn't expect that there would be so many remnants of the Yellow Turban." Zhu Jun sighed.

"The Yellow Turban Army revolted in Bazhou at that time, so naturally it was impossible to kill all of them. Our army can only suppress its main force, and as for these scattered troops, they can only be slowly cleared by the county defenders. Zhao Yi's point of view made Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song agree with each other.

The previous Tanma brought a person at this time, this person Zhao Yi also knew, the house slave who delivered the letter last time. After seeing the situation in the court described by Zhao Yun, especially the co-optation between Zhang Rang and He Jin, Zhao Yi frowned slightly.

Both of them were powerful ministers of the court, He Jin was the uncle of the court, and Zhang Rang was also a great figure, and the emperor treated him like a father and a mother.

Seeing the change in Zhao Yi's face, Zhu Jun asked, "Is something happening in the court?" ”
