When Xiang Ao led his troops to kill the Yellow Turban, Deng Mao fled back to his base camp and led hundreds of personal guards cavalry with Cheng Zhiyuan to flee north. Xiang Ao didn't pay attention to it, and there was Gao Shun waiting for the two of them in the north.

The group of black scarves did not spend much time on Xiang Ao, tens of thousands of yellow scarves were disrupted by Xiang Ao's iron cavalry in an instant, and the most yellow scarves escaped, accounting for almost half of the yellow scarves this time. Nearly 10,000 were trampled to death by the army, and more than 10,000 yellow turbans finally surrendered voluntarily or forcedly.

Xiang Ao was not too brutal and did not execute the rebellious Yellow Turban. But the army still had to go to the Julu area, and Xiang Ao had to hand over the surrendered yellow turban to Han Taishou in Zhuo County to deal with. As for Cheng Zhiyuan and Deng Ai, who escaped, they were ambushed by Gao Shun 800 by the Hengshui River.

"Wait for the rebels, don't surrender quickly!" When Cheng Zhiyuan's remaining hundreds of men and horses were ready to cross Hengshui, Gao Shun attacked from behind and trapped Cheng Zhiyuan on the edge of Hengshui.

"The vicious dog officer has forced us into a desperate situation, leaving no way to live?" Cheng Zhiyuan looked at Gao Shun, the leader, and yelled unwillingly in his heart.

"Even if you are a rebel, you will be prepared to die." Gao Shun's face was calm: "What's more, you burn, kill, plunder, and kill the people, in my opinion, it is not the so-called good luck in the world, but the chaos in the world!" ”

"Hahaha..."Cheng Zhiyuan laughed: "Saying so much is just a matter of becoming a king and defeating a villain!" ”

"Let's fight!" As Cheng Zhiyuan shouted war, a group of yellow scarves followed and shouted: "Fight!" War! War! "These hundreds of people are Cheng Zhiyuan's relatives and loyal people.

"If that's the case, then fight!" Gao Shun still said calmly: "Fight!" ”

Behind Gao Shun, everyone held shields and shouted: "Fight! War! War! Immediately, Gao Shun was not afraid of the horse's momentum, holding a shield and a yellow turban horse!

"Bang! Bang! Bang...""Hiss..."A series of collisions and horse roars sounded, and the cavalry did not pass through as Cheng Zhiyuan thought, but was blocked by Gao Shun's shield soldiers. Many cavalrymen were directly knocked into their horses.

"Haha..."Cheng Zhiyuan saw this, knowing that it was impossible to escape today, so he raised his head and laughed, and rushed to the miserable secret begging in his heart: If I can't escape, I Cheng Zhiyuan will sacrifice my life to fight to the death today!

Cheng Zhiyuan was like a demon, taking the lead, replacing the overturned cavalry, and rushed towards the Gaoshun army formation. "Kill!" Cheng Zhiyuan shouted, and the long knife slashed at the shield of the shield soldier.

There was a dull loud thud, and the long knife was shaken open, but the shield did not move. Cheng Zhiyuan was stunned, although he was not born with divine power, his strength was much higher than that of ordinary people. Before Cheng Zhiyuan could react, the front of the military formation suddenly opened, and with a step forward, Cheng Zhiyuan was swept into the Gaoshun military formation.

Seeing this, Deng Mao, who was outside the battle, was horrified in his heart, this array was too evil. Deng Mao felt that Cheng Zhiyuan was more than lucky, and although the relationship between the two was good, Deng Mao did not want to die. Then he quietly turned his horse and fled westward.

Cheng Zhiyuan and his guards saw that Cheng Zhiyuan was strung into the Gao Shun army formation, and they launched a crazy attack, wanting to break the army formation, they left Cheng Zhiyuan. However, Gao Shun's soldiers in the trap were all heavily armoured, and his personal guard swords could not break through the defense of the trapped, and they were killed by the spears that suddenly attacked in the formation.

After Cheng Zhiyuan just entered the battle, before he could react, he was coordinated by Gao Shun's soldiers and strangled in a moment. And the guards outside the formation didn't know, and they attacked fiercely, and they were all slaughtered in less than a quarter of an hour.

And Deng Mao, who fled, was fortunate for a while, if he hadn't seen the opportunity quickly, it was estimated that he would have died at this time. Deng Mao was lucky, and slowly rode his horse to remove the yellow turban symbol from his body, so as not to be recognized by the officials and soldiers again, Deng Mao had planned to temporarily flee into the mountains, trying to touch the giant deer, and defected to Zhang Jiao.

However, Deng Mao did not find out that when he took off the yellow scarf on his head and was about to escape into the mountains, he was seen by a person.

Hey? This person is a yellow scarf, why did he take off his turban? The man followed quietly behind him for a moment, and then he knew what he was going to do.

It turned out that he was defeated and was about to flee, but this person was stunned. Judging by his clothes, he should be the leader of the Yellow Turban, since he is going to serve the champion Hou, if he can use the head of the rebel leader as a vote, he may be able to get the attention of the champion Hou.

Having made up his mind, this person followed Deng Mao into the mountains. When Deng Mao found a hiding place to get off the horse and rest, this person jumped out from behind and knocked Deng Mao unconscious with a stick. After this person tied Deng Mao, he threw it on top of the horse like a sack, rode Deng Mao's war horse, and headed towards Zhuo County, where Xiang Ao was located.

Xiang Ao originally planned to rush to the Jizhou battlefield immediately after killing the Guangyang Yellow Turban, but Han Taishou was hospitable, and the people were sleepy and lacking, so Xi Zhong suggested that he should make a little repair before setting off. Xiang Ao thought about it, after all, the giant deer was not too far away, and he could arrive in a few days after a little delay.

Originally, officials and families in the county wanted to hold a banquet to entertain Xiang Ao, but Xiang Ao refused on the grounds that he rushed to Jizhou the next day, and everyone no longer persuaded him. However, Xiang Ao is not stupid, since he has saved so many powerful families, it is not Xiang Ao's temperament to have some benefits, so he politely proposed the matter of grain and grass.

When Han Taishou learned of Xiang Ao's request, he asked Yiying Shihao to contribute food and money. Xiang Ao even sent Jiao Meng and Han Taishou to accompany him, pay courtesy visits, coerce and ask for food, and in half a day, not only made up for the baggage consumed by Xiang Ao's army before, but also paid for the grain and grass that tens of thousands of soldiers and horses used for a month. Zhuo County is already rich, and it has never been persecuted by the Yellow Turban, so there must be a lot of baggage.

As for the grain and grass of the Yellow Turbans and Guangyang, Xiang Ao sent hundreds of cavalry to annihilate the Yellow Turbans that were not much left, and then collected them in the name of the imperial court, and quietly hid the caravan in Guangyang County, so that they could try to transport them back to Gaoliu, Daijun.

Since Daijun was assigned to the Northern Regions Protectorate by the imperial court, Xiang Ao did not have time to deal with it, and only took over the affairs of Daijun for the time being, and Jiang Yan temporarily took over the post of Taishou. The rest of the counties will be dealt with after Xiang Ao returns from the expedition.

The next day, Xiang Ao took the baggage raised from the family and Haoqiang, and prepared to set off for the Julu Realm to join forces with Lu Zhi.

Before leaving, he was stopped by a person, claiming to have captured the Yellow Turban General and handed it over to Xiang Ao for processing.

"Grass people Zhang He has seen the champion Hou!" This person came to Xiang Ao, performed a military salute, and knelt down on one knee to greet him.

Xiang Ao looked at Zhang He, who was about seven feet long, and although he was not martial arts, he was also extremely strong. The sword eyebrows are bright, the facial features are distinct, and he is also a handsome person. The hair is tied up, only a simple wooden hairpin is inserted, and no crown is worn. He was dressed in a simple gray caftan and ordinary cloth shoes. There was only one iron sword of poor quality at his waist.

"Strongman, please get up!" Xiang Ao picked up Zhang He and asked, "I don't know who the strong man captured?" ”

Zhang He threw Deng Mao on the horse to the ground and said: "This is the person, the grass people heard that the general sent troops to recruit the yellow scarf, and wanted to defect to the general, before and after the saddle." On the way, I saw that this person was sneaky, and he was wearing a yellow scarf headdress, and his clothes were not simple, so he captured this person, thinking that he was the person the general wanted to capture. ”

"Hahaha..."Xiang Ao smiled: "With the help of strong men, I have no intention of being very relieved!" Xiang Ao ignored Deng Ai, who was lying on the ground, and slapped Zhang He's arm twice and said happily. Yesterday, Xiang Ao saw Deng Mao's performance on the city wall, his martial arts were still good, and Zhang He's ability to capture this person was definitely more extraordinary than Deng Mao. Besides, Zhang He doesn't seem to be an ordinary reckless man, he must have some talent.

Zhang He saw that Xiang Ao didn't care about the Yellow Turban generals and was more concerned about himself, Zhang He was happy in his heart, and he was even more grateful, it seems that this trip will not come in vain.

"Kill this person, hang your head and show the city gate!" Xiang Ao told Jiao Meng. While waiting for Jiao Meng to deal with Deng Mao, Xiang Ao talked to Zhang Hepan a little.

Zhang He, the word is a person, and he is a native of Hejian. When the Yellow Turbans broke out, the Warden of the Riverlands recruited Riverland warriors to quell the rebellion. Zhang He originally planned to enlist, but later heard that Xiang Ao would also send troops to quell the rebellion against the Yellow Turbans, so he left Hejian, inquired everywhere about Xiang Ao's whereabouts, and defected to Xiang Ao.

After talking, I want to know what Zhang He can do. Although Zhang He was born in poverty, he was extremely studious when he was a teenager, and he visited celebrities and scholars all over the world, although most of them were audits, but Zhang He's understanding was good, and he had learned some talents.

In Xiang Ao's view, although Zhang He has no experience and no background, he is a general with a little training. Xiang Ao began to pay some attention to Zhang He and made more observations. For this reason, Xiang Ao ordered Zhang He to be a personal guard for the time being, and then determine what position he could hold when he had made meritorious contributions.

can be Xiang Ao's personal guard, Zhang He is even more happy. Zhang He has no background, so it is difficult to be discovered. At this time, if you can follow Xiang Ao at all times, you can show your talent if you have a chance, and you can be named a general if you have a chance!

After Jiao Meng disposed of Deng Mao's corpse, Xiang Ao said goodbye to the wealthy families in the county seat of Zhuoxian County, and sent troops to the land of giant deer to gallop to support.

Xiang Ao didn't know what the situation of Lu Zhijun was, in order to reduce the pressure on Lu Zhi, after coming out of the county seat of Zhuojun, the whole army crossed the border directly from Zhongshan with great fanfare, and rushed to Xiaquyang, where Zhang Bao was located.

Where Xiang Ao led his troops, the Yellow Turban rebels all retreated. Jizhou has many plains, which is extremely suitable for cavalry combat, and the Yellow Turban cavalry is its weakness, and it can't withstand Xiang Ao's iron cavalry charge. In order to avoid Xiang Ao's edge, the Yellow Turban of Zhongshan Kingdom has been retreating towards Xiaquyang, in a vain attempt to join forces with Zhang Bao's army to resist Xiang Ao's iron cavalry.

Xiang Ao traveled all the way, passing through Fanyang, Beiping, Anxi, and Hanchang, and approached Wuji, the county seat of Zhongshan in the north of Quyang. The yellow scarves around the various counties along the way fled when they heard the news, and the yellow scarves that came and fled were only bloodily suppressed by Xiang Ao. The rebel armies spontaneously formed by various counties joined Xiang Ao's army one after another, and when they reached the outside of Wuji City, Xiang Ao had 20,000 troops.

Although it is not as good as the 100,000 army that Zhang Bao is sitting on, it also has the confidence to fight against it. After all, the quality of the Township Warrior Volunteers recruited in this way is much higher than that of the Yellow Turban Army led by Taiping Dao. When Xiang Ao's army approached Wuji, he did not rush to attack the county seat, and was stationed thirty miles northeast of Wuji for urgent exercises.

Gao Shun is a training master, and in a few days, he trained a group of villagers to look good. As for the newly appointed Zhang He, Xiang Ao sent him as Gao Shun's assistant to train the troops together, and asked Gao Shun to observe Zhang He's talent and character.
