Chapter 120: On Meritorious Deeds

It is rare that the tiger-faced army division can come up with so many means, and in the end it can be regarded as a victory, at least after this battle, the central official army no longer dares to pursue the elite of the Qingzhou army.

The Tiger Mask Army Division easily led the elites of the Qingzhou Army back to Beihai and joined Zhang Mancheng, and at the same time received a lot of assistance from the Bingzhou Army.

To this day, Zhang Mancheng has also guessed some clues, Tang Zhou and this tiger-faced army division really have something to do with Lu Bu's Bingzhou army, but Zhang Bao also said that day that Lu Bu is not unable to cooperate.

What's more, what can he do now? Not to mention that Tang Zhou, as his deputy, had already controlled half of the Qingzhou army, especially the new army recruited after leaving Nanyang.

It is now that these 80,000 elites, including the generals Liao Hua and Zhou Cang, through this westward march and successive battles, all of them are highly respected and convinced by the Tiger Mask Division, especially after leaving Nanyang, the Tiger Mask Army Division was trained by the Tiger Mask Army Division.

That's it, no matter what they do, as long as they are alive and well now, and they are worthy of Brother Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao in the future, they will be content.

Huangfu Song and others jointly wrote to He Jin to Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty to accuse Lu Bu of colluding with the Qingzhou Army, which led to the defeat of the central official army.

However, before their letter was sent to Luoyang, Lü Bu had already reported to Luoyang and the emperor about the defeat of Huangfu Song, saying that they were proud of the enemy, greedy for merit, and fell into an ambush by the Qingzhou army, burying 30,000 central forbidden troops.

Lu Bu also said that he had 30,000 Qingzhou army heads in Suozao as evidence, and that he had already reported to the general about the robbery of his ordnance, admitting that he had lost a batch of crossbows, and he had never deceived him.

Huangfu Song and others also mentioned crossbows and 20,000 military horses in a joint letter, and Lu Bu's explanation for this was that he was full of wounded soldiers, and the imperial court could send someone to inspect them.

20,000 military horses, did Huangfu Song think they were all papier-mâché? Who can come up with so much at once?

Anyway, it's a lawsuit and a lawsuit against each other, but I, Lu Bu, won't admit it, what can you do with me?

No matter how the two sides quarreled and insisted on their own words, one fact was that the Han court could no longer send an army to exterminate the Qingzhou army.

And this Qingzhou army did not advance westward again, but returned to Qingzhou in the east, occupying most of the territory of Beihai Kingdom and Donglai County, which is today's Shandong Peninsula.

Moreover, the influence of strength has also affected the surrounding counties such as Dong'an, Qi, Taishan, and Langxi, and has truly become a force on the separatist side.

Just when the Manchu civil and military forces were concentrating on continuing to exterminate the Qingzhou army in order to recruit a new army, the Qingzhou army sent an envoy.

Zhang Mancheng claimed that he had broken away from the Taiping Road and the Yellow Turban Army, and only for the survival of his hundreds of thousands of brothers, he divided one side.

Now they are willing to surrender, as long as the imperial court allows them to stay in the current territory, and pardons the rebellion of the whole army, they are willing to accept the imperial court's edict, and publicly declare that they will break with the Taiping Dao and the Yellow Turban Army.

Hearing this condition, He Jin and Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty were very happy, the war to exterminate the Yellow Turban had been fought for a year, the soldiers were lost, the treasury was empty, and the imperial court was no longer sustainable.

Now that the Qingzhou Army itself is willing to submit to the imperial court and accept Zhao'an, then occupy a few counties and take it away, and solve it without fighting, it is simply great, and it can finally be announced that the Yellow Turban Rebellion nationwide has been extinguished, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion has finally subsided.

In January 185, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty decreed that Zhang Man would become the general of Pingnan, responsible for the administrative and public security affairs of Beihai and Donglai, and could recommend filial piety to the imperial court every year, and appointed Tang Zhou as the Taishou of Donglai County.

In this way, no matter what, the Yellow Turban Rebellion on the bright side has been pacified, and Taiping Road has disappeared.

The third peasant uprising in Chinese history was declared a failure, but it also dealt a serious blow to and shook the rule of the Liu royal family in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

After the victory, it was a reward for meritorious deeds, and the greatest merit of Huangfu Song was worshiped as the general of the left chariot, the marquis of Huaili, and the history of Jizhou was led.

Because of Huangfu Song's vigorous promotion, Lu Zhi also made contributions in the later period, and the official was reinstated, and he still served as a scholar.

Although Zhu Jun has also had several defeats, after all, his merits outweigh his faults, and he was worshiped as the general of the right chariot, the doctor of Guanglu, and the marquis of Qiantang.

Although Dong Zhuo was imprisoned for defeat in the early days, he was later fished out by He Jin, and then repeatedly made military exploits, rewarded meritorious deeds, and was appointed as the Taishou of Hanoi.

Cao Cao also made outstanding achievements in war and was named the Taishou of Dongjun. Sun Jian was also vigorously promoted by Zhu Jun and appointed as the Taishou of Runan.

Only Liu Bei came from a humble background and his reputation was not obvious, but after all, he had merit and Lu Zhi's relationship, so he was still awarded the county order of Zhuo County, which can be regarded as an official background.

On the side of the Bingzhou Army, although the credit is not small, in the end, it made all kinds of troubles with the Qingzhou Army. Although He Jin was an ally of Lu Bu, Liu Hong tried his best to suppress it.

In the end, he only rewarded several of Lu Bu's subordinates, such as Gao Shun, Xu Huang, Xu Rong, Zhang He and others, and also recognized Lu Bu's actual control over Zhongshan and Changshan.

However, he secretly asked Huangfu Song in Jizhou to closely monitor Ding Yuan and Lu Bu father and son in Jizhou.

There is also a frustrated person is Gongsun Zhan, who thought that with the merit of exterminating the Yellow Turban, the imperial court could reward him with the history of Youzhou Thorn, but he was greatly disappointed.

He just gained the false name of a Hussar General, a Hussar General, or as his Liaoxi County Taishou.

The imperial court directly appointed Liu Yu, the minister of the clan, as the assassin of Youzhou, which also had reasons to prevent Lu Bu from colluding with Gongsun Zhan.

Gongsun Zan is also not ambiguous, firmly controlling Liaoxi County, Youbeiping County and Liaodong vassal states, and does not bird Liu Yu at all.

At the end of January 185, a belated urgent letter was sent to Luoyang, causing no less shock than the Yellow Turban Uprising.

A major event happened in Liangzhou, the largest source of soldiers in the Han Dynasty and the most powerful people.

As early as December of the previous year, Beigong Boyu, the leader of the Qiang people in Huangzhong, responded to the Yellow Turban Uprising in Zhangjiao, Taiping Road, and led his clansmen to rebel.

Liangzhou Assassin Shi Zuochang sent Gai Xun to lead an army to garrison Ayang County to prevent the rebels from attacking. Seeing that Ayang County could not succeed, the rebels turned to attack Jincheng County, killed Chen Yi, the Taishou of Jincheng County, and coerced Bian Yun and Han Yue to join the gang.

Bian Yun changed his name to Bian Zhang, Han Yue changed his name to Han Sui, and elected Bian Zhang as the leader.

At the end of January, Han Sui and others led tens of thousands of Qiang Hu cavalry, under the banner of killing eunuchs, into Kou Sanfu, and the soldiers directly threatened the royal cemetery.

Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty was furious, and the ancestral mausoleum could not be lost, so he could only once again make Huangfu Song the commander in chief and Dong Zhuo as the deputy general, leading the army to the battle.

This is naturally He Jin's idea, Huangfu Song is the number one general in the world, not counting Lu Bu. Dong Zhuo followed him, and it was easier to mix up the results.

And there is also a high-sounding reason, Dong Zhuo grew up in Liangzhou, and has been in the army in Liangzhou for a long time, so he is familiar with the local situation.
