The Yellow Turban retreated, and the Han army began to retract, although the Yellow Turban won a complete victory this time, but the loss was not small, but it was not as miserable as the Han army, and the Han army's continuous attacks were not small, so the Yellow Turban had no offensive ability for the time being.

Ye Chen's heart was dripping blood, because he had suffered a lot of losses in this battle, these soldiers were all elite soldiers, after countless bloody battles, and the results of years of training, now that he had lost hundreds of losses and injured hundreds in the first battle, how could he not feel distressed.

"Lord, the situation is not good, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court are now dead, and those who have fled are fleeing, there are only more than 30,000 people left, plus Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses are only about 70,000, once the Yellow Turban attacks again, I am afraid that it will be defeated again, then no one will be able to resist."

After camping, Ye Chen asked Guo Jia to collect the news, but the news collected was not optimistic.

"Although the Yellow Turbans won a big victory, it was not so easy to wipe out the Han army in one fell swoop, and their own losses were also very large, and they could not organize much offensive in the short term. It's just that the reinforcements of the imperial court don't know when they will arrive, and if the reinforcements of the imperial court can arrive in time, then everything will not be a problem. ”

In fact, now the Yellow Turban is not unable to organize an attack, but Zhang Jiao is critically ill and can no longer lead troops to fight, so he can only rely on his two younger brothers.

Once the army goes out and Zhang Jiao suddenly returns to the west, then the army is likely to have a big problem, so now there is a city to rely on, even if Zhang Jiao has an accident, it will not be anything, so the Yellow Turban does not dare to attack.

In this way, the front line was quiet, and the Han army did not dare to go out of the camp, and set up a lot of defenses in the big camp, but they could not hold out.

A few days later, the news of the defeat reached Luoyang, and the Jingshi was shaken, and the court was in a mess.

Lu Zhi, who was about to be questioned, was not questioned because of this, but was just locked up.

"Your Majesty, you should immediately send a general to stabilize the front line, otherwise once the Yellow Turban moves south, it will directly threaten Luoyang." Taiwei Zhang Wen stood up and said.

"Well, who should I send?" Liu Hong asked.

"Beizhong Lang General Lu Zhi, who had a good way to defend against the enemy before, did a good job on the front line, and can reappoint him.

Zhang Wen replied.

Zhang Rang sneered on the side, Zhang Wen is looking for death, Lu Zhi was arrested by Liu Hong's order, and now that he has just arrived in the capital, you have to use him again, that is to say, Liu Hong is mediocre, good or bad, it is to let Liu Hong slap his face.

Liu Hong glanced at Zhang Wen in disgust, did not answer him, but looked at He Jin, after all, He Jin was a general.

"General, do you have any good ideas?"

"Your Majesty, the soldiers and horses around Luoyang should not be moved lightly now, but now that the thief army is strong, reinforcements should be dispatched, otherwise I am afraid it will not be the opponent of the thief army." He Jin said.

"Well, but where are the soldiers and horses that can be mobilized in the entire Han Dynasty now?"

Zhang Rang saw that the time was ripe, so he came out and said: "Your Majesty, there is a team of soldiers and horses around Jizhou that can be used as reinforcements. ”

"Oh, Father, tell me quickly, where are the reinforcements?"

"Your Majesty, this Emperor Fu Song exterminated the Yellow Turban in the Dongjun generation and regained the lost territory, and now he has basically completed the task, and he can support Guangzong." Zhang Rang replied.

"Okay, then order Huangfu Aiqing to be the commander-in-chief, lead the soldiers and horses of Jizhou to suppress the bandits, and at the same time remove Dong Zhuo's position, and wait for Jizhou to deal with it after the incident." Liu Hong ordered.

"Your Majesty, the old slave still has an idea." Zhang Rang bent down and said respectfully to Liu Hong.

"Father, if you have any other good ideas, tell me quickly."

"This Jianwei general Ye Chen has repeatedly made war exploits, and this time it is also up to him that the imperial court can preserve some soldiers and horses, and his military achievements are impressive, and this person knows how to fight, so he can become the deputy general of General Huangfu Song, and the two of them will work together to break the horn."

Finally, Zhang Rang said his plan, what he wanted was to create an opportunity for Ye Chen to make another great contribution, and then he would be better able to arrange Ye Chen.

When He Jin, Yuan Kui and the others heard this, they were all taken aback, this one made it clear that they wanted to give Ye Chen a battle exploit, how could they still watch it.

"Your Majesty, no. This Ye Chen is still young and in a high position, I am afraid it will be difficult to do it. He Jin was the first to stand up against it.

"Yes, Your Majesty, although General Jianwei has made good achievements, he is young after all, and I am afraid that he will not be able to convince the public." Yuan Kui also stood up against it.

Zhang Rang was quite unhappy to see that the two of them had joined forces, but this time he must take more credit for Ye Chen, because once Zhang Jiao is destroyed, there will not be much chance to continue to make war achievements, and Zhang Rang needs to have a soldier and horse, otherwise his power is too small.

"Your Majesty, although this General Jianwei is young, he has outstanding ability, and he has broken the Yellow Turban several times, he is really the nemesis of the Yellow Turban, and his loyalty to the Han can be seen by the sun and the moon."

Zhang Rang was by Liu Hong's side for a long time, knowing what he liked to hear, as soon as Zhang Rang said that the effect was immediately there, Liu Hong was still hesitating, but at this time, after listening to Zhang Rang's words, he immediately decided.

"Okay, I will order Jianwei General Ye Chen to be the deputy marshal, let him make new contributions, and I will definitely not treat him badly when the time comes."

With Liu Hong's final decision, although He Jin, Yuan Kui and others were very unwilling, they didn't dare to say anything more.

So the imperial court immediately sent the news quickly, ordering Huangfu Song to immediately rush to the aid of Jizhou, and at the same time ordered Ye Chen to be the deputy commander to assist Huangfu Song in breaking the enemy.

Huangfu Song has pacified Dongjun and other places, as soon as he received the order of the imperial court, he immediately rushed to help, he was afraid that Jizhou would have another accident, so he immediately ordered Cao Cao to lead the cavalry to set off first, and he led the army behind.

Cao Cao was extremely depressed when he received the order, and he was depressed that although he had made a lot of credit, he couldn't compare to Ye Chen, and now Ye Chen had made a lot of credit, and the court had named him the deputy commander, once he became the deputy commander, even if he didn't do anything, as long as Zhang Jiao was broken, then his credit was also very great.

Ye Chen didn't know that above the court, Zhang Rang had given him another opportunity, and now he had accumulated a lot of military exploits and had not been rewarded, once it was over, the chance of being rewarded was very big.

When Ye Chen was in the barracks, news came from outside, saying that Liu Bei asked to see him, which made Ye Chen stunned for a long time.

When did this Liu Bei disappear, and why did he appear again at this time?

In fact, Liu Bei went to send Lu Zhi for another very important reason, that is, to avoid it, and to find a high-sounding reason for himself. Send your own teacher, who dares to say anything.

In fact, Liu Bei began to plan after hearing that the boss was replaced by Dong Zhuo, he only had a few hundred people, and he was afraid that Dong Zhuo would use him as cannon fodder, so he deliberately hid out, and he sent Lu Zhi only a few dozen miles back that day, and after returning, he paid close attention to the changes in the military camp, and sure enough, Dong Zhuo asked the imperial court to attack the next day.

Liu Bei saw that Dong Zhuo used the soldiers and horses of the imperial court to attack, but his own men and horses did not use it, and he did not dare to go, and when the war was over here, Liu Bei jumped out, he knew that Dong Zhuo did not dare to attack again at this time, and the imperial court was very likely to replace him.

I don't know who the replaced coach is, but if Liu Bei wants to take credit, he must join the war, and if he wants to participate in the war, he is afraid that the new coach will use him as cannon fodder again, so he has to find a backer.
