With the retreat of the Montenegrin army, the state army regained an important city, and it was an intact city that had not been damaged by the war.

In the first battle, the elite of the Montenegrin Army caused a lot of casualties to the Bingzhou Army, and of course, the losses of the Montenegrin Army were several times that of the Bingzhou Army.

The Montenegrin army suffered at least 20,000 casualties, half of which were elites, and nearly 10,000 were captured, while the state army was an independent regiment with nearly 3,000 casualties.

Coupled with the 30,000 vanguard legions that had been wiped out at Jiumen before, there were still 70,000 or 80,000 people left in the Montenegrin army's final retreat to Jingcheng Mountain.

After the Battle of Zhending, Lü Bu decided to temporarily stop the military offensive in the direction of Jizhou.

While sending good news to Luoyang, Lu Bu also proposed to He Jin to recommend Xu Rong as the minister of Zhongshan and Manzhong as the minister of Changshan, and the state army fought continuously, and the losses were not small, so he could not continue the offensive for the time being, and he needed to rest in place.

Of course, when he rests, he will continue to exterminate the bandits and grass bandits in Zhongshan and Changshan, and the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, as for Zhang Jiao of Guangzong, it is difficult to support it alone, so let's wait for Huangfu Song's army to destroy the Yellow Turban Army in the south and wave the army to the north.

He Jin soon received a letter from Lu Bu, although he knew that the purpose of the two ministers recommended by Lu Bu was to install his own forces in Jizhou.

However, Lu Bu defeated the Montenegrin Army in Zhending, an important branch of the Yellow Turban Army, and recovered Zhending City, which contributed greatly.

Although Huangfu Song's battles in Yingchuan and Runan were progressing smoothly, there were still a large number of Yellow Turban rebellions rampant in other areas, and now only Lu Bu's Bingzhou army on the ground in Jizhou could contain Guangzong's Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban main force.

Although the Yellow Turban Army in Youzhou is about to be pacified with the help of Lu Bu, and when the time comes, the armies of Gongsun Zhan, Liu Bei and others can also let go of their hands and feet and go south to Jizhou to encircle and suppress the Yellow Turban Army, but their military strength is not worth mentioning compared with Lu Bu.

There is also an important point, although Lu Bu is divided into one side, he is also his ally, and he is also very supportive of himself, aren't these credits for recovering the city all recorded on his head as General He?

I can't push such a powerful ally to the side of the eunuch forces, but the eunuchs have never dreamed of colluding with a feudal official like Lu Bu!

Besides, Li Su also sent silver to his house, as well as those dancing girls and singers with different characteristics, and he can't do without it now!

Forget it, aren't they just two prime ministers? Anyway, it's all their old Liu family, who is it not for? So He Jin replied to Lu Bu to appease him, promised to help him ask for advice, and went to the emperor to ask for merit.

Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty is now frightened by the Yellow Turban Uprising, as long as the Yellow Turban thieves can be exterminated as soon as possible, any county guarding the country is something outside the body, and the reward will be rewarded!

Lu Bu also received a reply from He Jin in the shortest possible time, with Li Su, in this way, the deployment arrangements for the next period of time can be finalized.

The original plan for the rotational battles of the various units of the state army continued to be implemented. From Yunzhong, Wei Xu's 2nd Brigade of the Trapped Camp, Guan Hai's 2nd Brigade of the Rong 1st Division, and Zhang He's 1st Cavalry Brigade were transferred from Yunzhong.

Among them, Xu Huang took Guan Hai's Rong Second Brigade to garrison Gauntao, guarding the direction of Julu and Guangzong, the main force of the Yellow Turban is in Guangzong, Xu Huang is the commander-in-chief of the Jizhou Expeditionary Force!

Zhang He's 1st Cavalry Brigade was stationed in Xiaquyang, as a mobile force, monitoring the two directions of Youzhou and Jizhou.

Xu Rong's first brigade of the trapped camp was stationed in Lunu and was responsible for exterminating the Yellow Turban remnants in the Zhongshan Kingdom, the bandits and grass bandits.

Wei Xu's Second Brigade of the Trap Camp was stationed in Zhending, assisted Manchu Pet, recovered the counties under the Changshan Kingdom, exterminated the Montenegrin Army in the mountainous areas, gave full play to the advantages of the Second Brigade in mountain warfare, and fought well with the Montenegrin Army.

Lu Bu also deliberately left the reconnaissance battalion to assist the Second Brigade of the trapping camp, and the new commander of the reconnaissance battalion was Wang Quan.

There is also an independent regiment, Lu Bu also left them in Daijun, and expanded the independent regiment into an independent brigade, Hao Zhao was promoted like a rocket, and continued to serve as the brigade commander of the independent brigade, Pei Yuanshao served as the deputy brigade commander.

They were mainly responsible for guarding the prisoner of war camps in Dai County, and recruiting from the prisoner of war camps on the spot those young and strong men who were ideologically educated and willing to join the Bingzhou Army, replenishing the independent brigades, and transferring insufficient officers from various departments.

The remaining Hou Cheng's 2nd Cavalry Brigade, Zhu Ling's 3rd Trapped Camp Brigade, Cheng Lian's 1st Rong Brigade, and Zhang Liao's Guard Battalion returned to Yunzhong with Lü Bu, and the army passed through the Baicheng Valley in Niuyin Mountain.

The counties that have not yet been recovered along the way were taught to Zhu Ling and Cheng Lian, and Lu Bu decided to build a pass on the main road of Baicheng Valley, which was garrisoned by a regiment of Zhu Ling, and it would be rotated in the future.

Hearing that the large army of the Bingzhou Army returned to Yunzhong from Niuyin Mountain, the Montenegrin Army did not wait for the Bingzhou Army to fight, so it took the initiative to withdraw the troops of Lingshou, Puwu, and Xinshi counties, and the whole army retreated back to the mountainous area.

Passing by the foot of Niuyin Mountain, Zhao Yun proposed to Lu Bu that he wanted to bury his deceased wife and sister, Lu Bu agreed, and rewarded Zhao Yun with a hundred taels of silver, so that he could bury the deceased well, and the army continued to return north.

Finally, the Bingzhou troops who participated in the first batch of rounds of battles successfully returned to the old camp in Yunzhong, and the families of the soldiers were laughing and tearing again.

Lu Bu first went to visit Gao Shun who was recuperating, and saw that Gao Shun was recovering well, and he couldn't even be idle, so he went to Shaling Military Academy to give a lecture.

Only then did Lu Bu remember that the Shaling Military Academy should be about to hold the graduation exam for the first batch of cadets.

Back in the clouds, the troops returned to their stations to rest, and Lu Bu himself slept well for two days.

When he went to visit Gao Shun again, he saw his little sister Lu Feifei in Gao Shun's mansion, who has been busy with military affairs recently, but he hasn't seen him for a long time, but Lu Feifei is becoming more and more mature and generous.

Lu Bu saw that Lu Feifei and Gao Shun were very intimate, and Gao Shun's eyes were also tender, so Lu Bu teased these two people, "I said, Gao Shun, since you like little sister, I will make the decision for you and help you propose to your second uncle?" ”

"Men should get married, women should get married, don't grind, you are recuperating in the clouds, there are not so many military affairs, there is Xu Huang in front of you, nothing is wrong, pick an auspicious day, and you will get married!"

"Big brother, you're making fun of me again." Lu Feifei blushed and fled as if her heart was beating.

Gao Shun was a man in the end, blushing, standing upright, and then saluting Lu Bu, "But it's up to the eldest brother to decide!" ”

"My own family, what kind of courtesy, marriage is not a war, don't worry, wrap it up on me."

With Lu Bu as the matchmaker, how could Second Uncle Lu disagree, not to mention that everyone came from the Jiuyuan old camp together, and they also knew Gao Shun very well, so they were very relieved.

At that moment, Lu Bu chose a recent auspicious day of the zodiac and organized Gao Shun's wedding with a high standard.

Ding Yuan is the man's parent, Second Uncle Lu is the woman's parent, and Lu Bu himself is the witness, so he happily handled the happy event.

The entire old camp in the clouds was overjoyed, just like the New Year. Lu Bu asked Guan Laotie to create a pair of golden boys and girls out of gold and gave them to Gao Shun as a congratulatory gift for himself.

Lu Bu also asked Gao Shun and Xiaomei to have more children, the old Lu family is thin, if he gives birth to two sons in the future, he must have a surname Lu.

Gao Shun was too late to be happy, he agreed, and when the two of them were drinking, Gao Shun repeatedly said that he was panicked, and he got married in front of his eldest brother.

Which pot is not opened and which pot is mentioned, let Lu Bu be beaten fat, in fact, everyone around Lu Bu knows that Lu Bu's sweetheart is far away in Luoyang, and he is very bitter about lovesickness.
