Bocai's Yellow Turban Army was already in danger of being attacked by Sun Jian's Han army, and the arrival of Cao Cao's cavalry was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Bocai's left flank, like Peng Tuo, was also quickly crushed by the cavalry, Bocai saw that the general trend had gone, and could only retreat to the south, and his Yellow Turban Army either fled or surrendered, and the fighting spirit was completely lost.

When Cao Cao turned to the middle, Zhang Mancheng began to pay close attention to the movements of the other two Yellow Turban Army. soon saw Peng Tuo's defeat and escape, and hurriedly gave the order to retreat.

The Yellow Turban soldiers in front of them turned around and fled one after another. The Yellow Turban elite soldiers in the rear had already received the military order to retreat, maintained a strict formation, and slowly retreated to the southeast.

Although Zhu Jun eliminated part of the Yellow Turban Army that did not have time to escape, the main force of Zhang Mancheng's army did not suffer major losses, and the retreat was also orderly, and the trees in the distant woods swayed, as if there were ambushes hiding in them.

Zhu Jun was amazed by Zhang Mancheng's previous countermeasures, so he did not dare to pursue alone, but after eliminating the remaining Yellow Turban Army, he took the initiative to move closer to Huangfu Song in the middle of the road.

Zhang Mancheng saw that Zhu Jun really didn't dare to pursue alone, and admired his military advisor in his heart, which was really a clever plan.

Whether it is the exchange of elite soldiers and miscellaneous soldiers, or the arrangement and use of longbowmen, and finally the chariot formation of the cavalry of the Han army, and even the ambush soldiers in the woods, there is no last resort to anticipate the enemy's opportunities everywhere.

I really don't know who is under the mask of such a wonderful character? But he's not stupid enough to be bored.

Since the Han army is not coming to pursue, it is better to withdraw quickly! The ambush in the woods was only 3,000 miscellaneous soldiers, pretending to be a momentum.

So far, since the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Uprising, the Yellow Turban Army and the Han Army participated in the largest battle, with the Han Army's great victory, Peng Tuo, Bo Cai's two Yellow Turban Army defeated, drawing an end.

Only Zhang Mancheng's Yellow Turban Army paid the price of more than 20,000 miscellaneous casualties and successfully withdrew to Chen State.

The two Yellow Turban armies of Peng Tuo and Bocai suffered a total of 50,000 or 60,000 casualties, and the Yellow Turban Army surrendered and was captured.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun once again ignored the dissuasion of Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Zhao Qian and others, beheaded all the surrendered Yellow Turban Army, and used their corpses to build two "Jingguan" on the outskirts of Zhaoling City to deter all Yellow Turban rebellions.

Bocai and Peng Tuo joined forces and fled to Shangcai. Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun also led the army to chase hard, and they were bound to wipe out these Yellow Turban Army, and Zhang Mancheng couldn't take care of it for the time being.

The military campaign to suppress the Yellow Turban Uprising on the Southern Front went fairly smoothly, and after an early defeat of the light enemy, it finally entered the counteroffensive stage.

At the same time, the war against the Yellow Turban bandits on the northern front, after several major battles, tended to calm down.

The Yellow Turban Army under Zhang Jiao's command was on the defensive in Jizhou and shrunk its forces, and at the same time, the Yellow Turban Army in Yanzhou, under the leadership of several leaders Bu Si, Zhang Bo, and Liang Zhongning, had already entered Dongjun, which could be regarded as going north to support Zhang Jiao. Most of the Zhao State, Wei County, and Qinghe County were also under the control of the Yellow Turban Army.

After Lü Bu's Bingzhou army recovered Gauntao, he did not rush south to attack Guangzong, but stood still and waited for the situation.

Originally, Lu Bu was going south to Guangzong and join Huangfu Song to attack Zhang Jiao, but since Huangfu Song was transferred to fight on the southern front, Lu Bu was not in a hurry to show himself.

Originally, he had discussed with Jia Xu that it was the best policy to use Zhang Jiao to "raise his own respect" and try to get the maximum benefit from exterminating the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou.

Youzhou direction has its own righteous brother Gongsun Zhan, the two sides have no conflict of interest for the time being, Gongsun Zhan's strength is still weak, is on the rise, the two sides can cooperate, there are many places to use.

In the direction of Jizhou, as long as you firmly grasp the two countries of Changshan and Zhongshan, plus the Taihang Mountain that stretches for thousands of miles, and the southeast gateway of Bingzhou, you can sit back and relax.

So after subduing Man Pet, Lu Bu took control of Zhongshan Country with the help of Man Pet, and then Lu Bu turned his target to Changshan Kingdom.

Most of the counties in Changshan Country have been firmly controlled by the Black Mountain Army, a branch of the Yellow Turban Army.

The two major leaders of the Montenegrin Army, Zhang Niujiao and Chu Yan, are among the Yellow Turban thieves, and they can be regarded as knowledgeable and talented figures, and the Montenegrin Army and its vassal forces are known as a million army, but there are still hundreds of thousands of troops.

So Lu Bu did not rush to make a move, but quietly waited for the arrival of his reinforcements.

Not long after Gao Shun led the army to Jizhou, the Yellow Turban Army in Youzhou also rose up, and the momentum at the beginning was not small, among which the Yellow Turban Army in Guangyang was the most powerful, and it actually broke Jixian County and killed Guo Xun, the assassin of Youzhou, and the situation in Youzhou was chaotic all of a sudden.

Gongsun Zhan raised troops from Liaoxi County and entered to suppress the Yellow Turban thieves. The counties and counties of Youzhou also organized volunteers to assist the government in strangling the Yellow Turban Army.

Among them, the most outstanding is the volunteer army of Zhuo County, the leader is Liu Bei, who Lu Bu has been afraid of for a long time, Liu Bei and two righteous brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, both have the courage of ten thousand people.

Relying on these two peerless generals, Liu Bei's volunteer army actually defeated one of the main forces of the Youzhou Yellow Turban Army, Deng Mao's department, and Deng Mao was killed by Zhang Fei in front of the battle.

Gongsun Zhan sent a letter of help to Lü Bu, inviting the Bingzhou Army to send troops into Youzhou to assist in the encirclement and suppression of the Yellow Turban Army.

For Gongsun Zhan's request, Lu Bu readily agreed, and infiltrated his power and influence into Youzhou, which was exactly what Lu Bu couldn't ask for, not to mention that there was a chance to suppress the fledgling Liu Bei.

Lü Bu was so wary of these future heroes that he appointed Xu Huang as the commander of the reinforcements sent to Youzhou, consisting of Hou Cheng's 2nd Cavalry Brigade and Xu Rong's 1st Brigade of the Trap Camp.

After entering Youzhou, the Bingzhou army led by Xu Huang gave full play to its own advantages, and even won the battle, and Gongsun Zhan, Liu Bei and other Han troops also cooperated wholeheartedly.

Soon fought in Guangyang, defeating the largest force of the Youzhou Yellow Turban Army, the main force of the Yellow Turban Commander Cheng Yuanzhi, Cheng Yuanzhi was also beheaded by Liu Bei's second brother Guan Yu.

At this point, the main force of the Youzhou Yellow Turban Army was wiped out, and the remaining small fish and shrimp, Xu Huang left it to Gongsun Zhan, Liu Bei and others to deal with.

Gongsun Zhan was the biggest beneficiary of the suppression of the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Youzhou, and as the Taishou of Liaoxi County, he also indirectly controlled Youbeiping County and Liaodong vassal states, and obtained the land of three counties in one fell swoop.

The new army that Lu Bu helped him train also withstood the test of actual combat, and their performance was much better than that of the county soldiers, and of course, Lu Bu's ideas were also quietly spread among the new army through the state instructors.

After Xu Huang pacified the Yellow Turban in Youzhou, he received an order from Lu Bu to lead his troops south to meet Lu Bu in Xiaquyang, and met Pei Yuanshao's independent regiment on the way, and the two teams came to Xiaquyang County together.

Lu Bu had been waiting for a long time, and after Xu Huang arrived, Lu Bu felt that he was fully prepared, so he set out with the whole army and set off for Zhending.
