The ninth month of the lunar calendar is the standard late autumn, with the north wind getting stronger and the weather getting colder.

At this time, both humans and animals will make final preparations for winter.

The squirrels in Liaodong are taking the opportunity to stock up on pine nuts, the bears in Taihang Mountain are accumulating fat, and the geese in Hebei are queuing up to fly south...... However, at this time, the forty or fifty thousand Yellow Turban troops went north one after another.

The weather was cold, the Han army came from afar, just set up camp, immediately convenient for night mobilization, hurriedly mounted the horse in pursuit, it was really sleepy, tired and cold, and even the horsepower was very tired. However, he did come into contact with the Yellow Turban Brigade on the road, and after a hasty battle at night, he found that there was no resistance to the battle.

The reason is very simple, the Yellow Turban Army who fled north in a hurry was also sleepy, tired and cold, and they fled in a hurry after the death of the boss after all, so there was no fight at all.

However, at the end of autumn, after the 40,000 or 50,000 Yellow Turban Army was in chaos, the situation was completely out of control, and even the Han army lost its organization in the dark night.

However, there is always a time of dawn, when the morning sun rises in the east, the sky is clear, and the autumn frost melts, the situation is finally clear - there are always horses that run faster than those without horses, and the pursuit is always more aggressive than the escape, and more importantly, under the desperate pursuit of the Han army, the Yellow Turban Army lost its armor and countless baggage along the way, and finally it was trapped on the bank of the Zhanghe River, losing the necessary organization and protection capabilities needed to cross the river.

At this point, the strategic intention of the Han army has been fully achieved, and although the Yellow Turban Army still retains tens of thousands of troops, it is actually inevitable to lose, and it is just waiting for death.

"Prince, although our army is extremely tired, as long as we wait for the army of foot soldiers led by Huangfu Gong to catch up, the whole army can move forward and end this disaster." Fu Xie was tired, but he saw Gongsun Xun leading a group of white horse cavalry slowly coming from the rear, so he fought hard to meet him. "After years of hard work, this chaos will have a beginning and an end after all."

"Not necessarily."

Gongsun Xun was also exhausted from running all night, but it was obvious that he did not agree with his little junior brother's judgment.

"Not necessarily." Xi Zhong was not good at riding horses, and was left in the camp by Gongsun Xun this time, but Lou Gui, the only strategist who followed, also disagreed with Fu Xie's judgment.

"Is there still a repetition of the battle?" Fu Xie was stunned for a moment. "Forgive me for being stupid, I really don't know where the other party is turning around."

"It's not that the battle situation is repeated, but there is a big river in front of it, and the Yellow Turban Army has entered a desperate situation." Lou Zibo said with emotion immediately. "I'm afraid I don't have to wait for a large number of foot soldiers behind me to catch up, there will be a result."

Fu Xie woke up almost instantly: "What Mr. Zibo means is that the thieves will either take advantage of the arrival of the soldiers and fight back desperately; Or will they simply turn around and throw themselves into the river, just like they did on the banks of the Turbid River and the Qing River back then? ”

"Not bad." Lou Gui twisted his beard slightly. "That's probably going to be it."

"After all, it's tens of thousands of lives." Gongsun Xun looked a little bored. "Go shout and ask where Zhang Liang is? Tell him that the defeat is decided, if there is still a backbone, why bother the innocent? Either come out and lead the guards to fight me to the death, or be separate from me and kill yourself. In any case, I will read the fate of Zhao Guoxiadi in the past, barely the face of the old man, and promise to give him a good time...... In short, the defeat is decided, it is better to let these tens of thousands of young people give up their thoughts as soon as possible, and there is a way out. ”

Fu Xie was quite hesitant when he heard this, but he couldn't help but admonish: "Prince, this generation is all a cult and a demon, and the forty or fifty thousand people are descending, how can the imperial court tolerate it?" Now that it is the end of the battle, I am afraid that I will kill Liwei. ”

"This kind of thing is naturally discussed with me and the Imperial Fu and the center, so don't get involved." Gongsun Xun waved his hand and urged. "Do it quickly!"

Fu Xie didn't dare to say much, so he immediately led the crowd to beat his horse and left, beckoning others to call Zhang Liang to go.

"After all, the prince was moved by compassion?" As soon as Fu Nanrong left, Lou Gui couldn't help but sigh again. "It's the first time I saw Dongjun's heart shaken, and now it's time to adapt again and again. Besides, I am afraid that there will be more and more such things in the future, where can they be saved one by one? ”

"Since it's in person, let's give it a try." Gongsun Xun was still expressionless. "Besides, the situation is still different from before, the Yellow Turban is still on the momentum in Dongjun, and it is common for his generation to be strong; The 20,000 people on the banks of the Qing River were more or less for Zhang Jiao's funeral...... And now? If Zhang Liang also dies and the yellow scarves disappear, how can they die for it? For whom to die? It's only been a few months since the Yellow Turban Uprising, where are so many loyal ministers and filial sons? ”

Lou Gui shook his head slowly, but he didn't persuade him anymore.

A moment later, there was a commotion somewhere in front, and a Yellow Sky Banner and a General Yigong Banner were raised at the same time, and then the two banners marched in unison, and they actually killed directly at the obvious White Horse Yi.

Obviously, this is Zhang Liang heard the shout, and then he didn't think about it at all, so he made up his mind to come to meet Gongsun Xun, the old man of Zhao State.

Gongsun Xun raised his head and signaled, and Han Dang immediately led more than 500 white horses to pounce out.

There is no golden drum, and even the shouts of killing are weak. But seeing the flag raised here, both the Yellow Turban Army and the Han Army were in an uproar, the Yellow Turban Army tried to come to help, and the Han cavalry tried to come over and kill Zhang Liang while blocking it, and captured this last great battle...... The two sides were fighting on all fronts for a while.

But soon, as the five hundred newly reorganized White Horse Yi slammed into the two flags head-on, the two armies, which were already exhausted, fell silent again, because the two iconic flags were toppled almost instantly.

And after a while, the two banners were sent to Gongsun Xun by Fu Xie and Han Dang together with Zhang Liang, who was bound.

"Sure enough, it's the old man." Lou Gui stepped up to him. "It's just that I have reduced my aging a lot, and my family is waiting for ......"

"Why don't you worship me when you see me?" Gongsun Xun, who was on the horse, suddenly squinted his eyes and interrupted Lou Gui's words. "On that day, I was the county commander, and you saw me in Xiadi in fashion and worshiped with a big bow, and now I am a general with five senses, and I came with a festival, but you are a prisoner, why don't you worship?"

"The worship of the past is not worshipping today!" Seven or eight steps away, Zhang Liang's head was wrapped in a yellow scarf but his hair was messy, and then his eyes were bloodshot and his face was haggard, but he still stood straight and faced each other.

Although his tone was gentle, he still had a bit of momentum.

"I see." Gongsun Xun nodded slowly. "Since you have come to this appointment, I will not break my promise, how are you going to die?"

"If you can, please also ask the deceased to replace Bai Aya with a bowstring and leave my whole corpse." Zhang Liang sighed. "If someone else does this, I'm afraid that I will be suspected of colluding with the Yellow Turban, but the deceased destroyed hundreds of thousands of my Yellow Turbans, killed my second brother, and forced Bu to death...... I don't think I need to care. ”

Without waiting for Fu Xie, Lou Gui and others around him to persuade him, Gongsun Xun slowly bowed his head: "I won't be dishonest yet, righteous father, you come ......"

"Forget it!" At this moment, Zhang Liang himself suddenly lowered his head and sighed. "Falling into such an end, why bother pretending to be a hero and making an awe-inspiring posture? Please behead me! ”

"Why?" Gongsun Xun immediately frowned.

"I see that the old man has a little compassion, so he might as well kill me and let his subordinates hold my head and surrender one or two, maybe a few more people can live." Zhang Liang is still calm.

Gongsun Xun bowed his head silently, and Fu Xie and Lou Gui next to him were also speechless.

Han Dang immediately drew his knife, but Zhang Liang suddenly had a strange move at this time - he first turned around and stood south, and then without waiting for Han Dang to come, he suddenly turned to the north again, and finally, he who had never lost his dignity and calmness suddenly lost his dignity and calmness, but he suddenly lost his tears at a loss, which caught the others off guard.

"The old man was so calm before, but he was afraid of death when it came to the end?" Gongsun Xun was immediately impatient.

"That's not the case." Zhang Liang burst into tears, his tone frightened. "I just thought that the eldest brother was in the south and wanted to face the south and die, but I suddenly remembered that the second brother and his hometown were in the north, and I wanted to face the north and die...... However, the north and the south cannot be both, and the generals of the defeated army can't even die calmly? ”

The surrounding people were silent for a while, even Fu Xie, who regarded his generation as a thief, so he didn't have a good face at this time, and he couldn't help but be solemn at this time.

Gongsun Xun sighed and waved his hand at Han Dang, who no longer hesitated, and slashed up, blood splattered three feet, and Zhang Liang, who didn't know whether his soul should go south or fly north, died.

Killed Zhang Liang, it can be said that this last battle can be regarded as having an explanation, Gongsun Xun was bored and had no intention of fighting, but he just asked Fu Xie to take Zhang Liang's head and the two captured flags to surrender everywhere, but he himself simply turned back to a high ground not far away, dismounted and closed his eyes to recuperate.

And as Gongsun Xun and Lou Gui guessed, after Zhang Liang was beheaded, the Yellow Turban Army immediately lost the last trace of resistance intention, and then many people did choose to surrender, but it was true that many people turned around and walked towards the Zhanghe River.

Gongsun Xun closed his eyes, which was also a helpless way to deal with it...... In the face of a peasant uprising that was obviously a cult and doomed to collapse from the beginning, as a general from a son of the world, he asked himself that he had done it to the extreme, at least the tens of thousands of prisoners of war sold to Liaodong in Xiaquyang could give him a clear conscience.

At this time, according to the experience and lessons of Dongjun, the best way to deal with it is to close your eyes and keep your mouth shut, and give these people the opportunity to choose freely.

But...... There are some things that he doesn't have the final say.

"Prince!" Guan Yu suddenly led the number to ride to the slope to report. "I saw an old man in the Yellow Turban Thief who wanted to throw himself into the river, and I wanted to call him to surrender, but he didn't, thinking that I was humble, and my words were not trustworthy, so I only entered the battle to tie him up, and brought him here to ask the prince to promise a word......"

Gongsun Xun opened his eyes slightly, but he sneered: "Wang Daoren, you are the spy I planted on Zhang Jiao's side, why do you have to die for the Yellow Turban?" ”

Wang Xian, who was tied up and placed on the ground, also raised his pig-kidney-like face when he heard the words: "Don't make fun of the general, let alone tarnish my name, when did I spy for the general?" ”

"Prince!" Guan Yu arched his hand. "Wang Daoren must be by Zhang Jiao's side all the year round, so that he has been bewitched by the cult, please remember how desirable his actions are, forgive him for a while!"

Gongsun Xun bowed slightly.

However, before this middle-sensed man would cooperate with this Guan Yu to prepare to save this person, this person who was bound all over his body and could only barely hold his head high on the ground had already simply replied loudly:

"Zhang Jiao is a demon Tao, and Taiping Dao is also a witch Tao, but I, Taiyuan Wang Xian, am also a demon and evil person, and the world cannot tolerate it! It is enough to see you before you die today, and to say goodbye to you! Please also ask the prince and the deceased to be fulfilled! ”
