More than ten days have passed since the war, and the Yellow Turban Army has long since retreated.

On that day, when the thunder sounded, the outcome had already been decided. After that, the Yellow Turban Army had no fighting spirit, and there were even many Taiping believers who sat on the ground and cried bitterly.

Even Wang Yan felt incredible, and in desperation, he had to order the withdrawal of the army.

Since then, whether it is a sergeant in the army or a strong man in the county, the eyes of Chen Xu are very different.

Although the sage once said: The son is silent and blames the gods. But in the entire history of China, there is still a great deal of reverence for ghosts and gods.

Usually thunder, everyone thinks that this is the thunder god of heaven to punish those wicked. People are in awe, but they don't feel it so strongly.

It is mainly Chen Xu's ability to predict the prophet that makes people feel frightened.

People can never forget the words that Chen Xu asked the officers and soldiers to shout; I can't forget that when he pointed a gun at the sky and shouted, 'God bless the man, the thunder god help me', the sound of thunder sounded in the sky.

What's more, it was only thunder that day, and there was no rain, which made the people in the city talk a lot.

Dongjun is in the northwest of Yanzhou, near Jizhou, and adjacent to Wei County. The Yellow Turban Army crossed the Yellow River (called the river in ancient times, and was called the Yellow River for convenience), ran thousands of miles, and raided Wei County.

Fortunately, Jizhou is the base camp of the Yellow Turban Army, and all counties and counties are very well defended, but Wang Yan returned in vain.

These days, Chen Xu has not stayed in Dong'e all the time. While he sent people to Puyang to report the battle situation here, he entangled the officers and soldiers to follow the Yellow Turban Army from afar. It wasn't until he saw them pass by Liaocheng and Boping and enter the territory of Jizhou that Chen Xu was relieved.

After determining that the Yellow Turban Army had completely withdrawn from Dongjun and Yanzhou, Chen Xu led his troops back to Dong'e. When the heroes and big families of Dong'a knew about this, they all cheered.

At this point, it's already July.

Wang Yan's Yellow Turban Army retreated, and the rebellion in Yanzhou had been completely quelled. Chen Xu took the remaining officers and soldiers and all withdrew to Puyang.

In June of the seventh year of light and light, it was really turbulent.

Nanyang Taishou Qin Jie fought with Zhang Mancheng and killed Zhang Mancheng. Then, the remaining Yellow Turban Army set up Zhao Hong as the commander and trapped Wancheng, and Sun Jian took the lead in attacking Wancheng and breaking the Yellow Turban.

First Bocai was defeated, then Bu Ji was defeated, and then Zhang Mancheng and Zhao Hong failed. It seems that for a while, the entire Yellow Turban Army in the world is being defeated.

When the news reached the troops led by Wang Yan, they thought that the officers and soldiers had thunder to help the Yellow Turban Army, and they were even more panicked.

There are some people who ask to join the great sages and good teachers, and some people think that the Yellow Turban Army is doomed to failure, and it is better to fall into the grass.

Wang Yan remembered the failure of his ancestors, and remembered what Chen Xu said on the silk cloth he had given.

In the end, he was also pessimistic about the outcome of the Yellow Turban Uprising.

The Yellow Turban Army split again, and some more people left, and finally only more than 2,000 people remained, following Wang Yan to the grass in the mountains.

There are two flowers, one on each branch.

However, he said that Chen Xu returned to Puyang, and the county was strong, and he knew about his extortion of local heroes and big families in Dong'a. In addition, the Yanzhou Yellow Turban has been pacified, and they naturally have no good face for Chen Xu.

However, some people scoffed at Chen Xu's ability to attract thunder and lightning to help, thinking that it was not credible; There are also some people who are in awe of Chen Xu.

In Puyang City, Chen Xu did not see Qiaoyu. After inquiry, I learned that Qiao Xuan died last month, and Qiao Yu returned to Suiyang to handle the funeral for Qiao Xuan.

After hearing about this, Chen Xu and Dian Wei were heartbroken. For them, Qiao Xuan not only has the friendship of acceptance, but also the grace of acquaintance.

Both of them wanted to go to Suiyang to mourn for Qiao Xuan, but now they are in important positions and cannot leave their bodies. In addition, although there is no Yellow Turban Army in Dongjun, there are still many people who take advantage of the chaos in the world to gather in the mountains and forests, and rob homes and houses.

As the leaders of the two rebel armies in Dongjun, it is their unshirkable responsibility to pacify the bandits and pacify the localities.

Moreover, with the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Uprising, many homeless displaced people were all fluctuating, and if they could not be deterred, it was difficult to guarantee that these people would not pull the banner of the Yellow Turban Army and gather to rebel.

The Dongjun Rebels defeated the Yellow Turban Army several times, which was a great achievement. As early as when he learned that Wang Yan had withdrawn from the army, Qiao Mao went to Luoyang (known as Luoyang in ancient times, and later called Luoyang in order to be more popular), and complained about the merits of Chen Xu, Dian Wei, Chen Gong, Cheng Yu and other cadres.

He was a man of integrity, and he did not take credit for the merits of others.

However, as the Taishou of Dongjun, he was able to defeat the Yellow Turban Army under his rule, and his credit was indispensable no matter what.

Seeing that it was the middle of July, on this day, Chen Xu had just finished dealing with some things in the army, when he heard that the angels of the imperial court had come to Puyang, and Qiao Mao asked the officials of the county to go out of the city for five miles to greet him.

The news of the angel's arrival made many generals and non-commissioned officers who had made great achievements in the war very excited.

Many of them are still white.

Although some generals served in the army, most of them were like Chen Xu and Dian Wei, who were only righteous soldiers and did not have official positions officially canonized by the imperial court.

Chen Xu didn't dare to slack off, so he called an important general in the army, and went to the county guard mansion to meet Qiaomao.

The angel was accompanied by two hundred officers and soldiers, and the leader was about thirty years old, with a white face and a somewhat feminine face. Chen Xu only glanced at it and knew that this person was a eunuch.

This person's expression was quite arrogant, and when he saw the county officials go out of the city for five miles to greet him, he snorted, and his face was unhappy.

After that, the angel said to Qiaomao: "Qiaodong County is such a big shelf, the miscellaneous family waits left and right, but they don't want to, until now they waited for you to come to greet them." ”

He didn't get out of the car either, his eyes stayed on Chen Xu and the generals behind him, and he stayed for a moment.

Then, he spat on the ground and said with a look of disgust: "Phew, even some miscellaneous rebels are qualified to come to meet the miscellaneous family? ”

After finishing speaking, he ignored many officials in the rest of the counties, and directly asked his entourage to drive in the direction of Puyang City.

This eunuch first gave Qiao Mao a dismount, and then deliberately humiliated the Puyang rebels.

It depends on the owner to beat the dog, not to mention that Chen Xu and Dian Wei repelled the yellow scarf, made great contributions, and won the trust of the lieutenant generals?

The faces of the officials in the county were all very ugly, and the generals behind Chen Xu were even more angry, all holding the hilt of their swords and looking at Qiao Mao.

Qiao Mao is a county guard, and he is a real feudal official. He led the county officials out of the city five miles to greet him, so low-voiced, but he was still troubled by a eunuch.

Now Puyang is almost all protégés of the Qiao Mao family.

As the so-called 'lord humiliates the ministers to death', the relationship between the county prince and the officials under the account in the Han Dynasty can also be regarded as the relationship between the lord and the courtiers.

The hatred of the late Han scholars for the eunuchs was absolutely profound. Even if the ten permanent servants are powerful, they will not be afraid, let alone other eunuchs?

If it weren't for the fact that this eunuch represents the face of the imperial court, I am afraid that someone would have drawn his sword in anger and made him splatter his blood for five steps.

Qiao Mao's face was also flushed, looking at the back of the angel leaving, without saying a word, and then tended to follow.

Chen Xu is the leader of the rebel army under his account, and he is even more favored by his patriarch Qiao Xuan, who is humiliating Chen Xu on the surface, but in fact, he is also humiliating him Qiao Mao.

Slowly loosening his clenched fist, Qiao Mao didn't speak after all, silently following behind the chariot.

The rest of the people saw that Taishou had endured this evil breath, and they didn't say anything anymore, but everyone held back a breath of anger in their hearts.

Qiao Mao is the son of Qiao Xuan's clan, although Qiao Xuan did not deliberately promote him, but because of Qiao Xuan's reputation, the nobles and heroes have to give him some face, how could he have been so humiliated?

Even though he was angry, he could only endure it.

After all, this is not the case.

Qiao Xuan's death was a great blow to the entire Qiao family. When he was alive, even if he was not a leader, with his connections and reputation, he could make the ten permanent servants jealous.

Since ancient times, people have taken tea to cool.

Even if someone will look at Qiao Xuan's face and say something for Qiao Mao in the court, they will not completely offend the ten permanent servants for him.

Moreover, although Dongjun repelled the Yellow Turban Army, it can be regarded as meritorious. However, the Yellow Turban Army rebelled under his rule after all, and even his subordinate, Dong'e County Cheng, participated in the rebellion. The Yellow Turban Army even broke through the White Horse and ransacked the White Horse City.

If the imperial court really investigates it, even if he has the credit of repelling the Yellow Turban Army, he will not be able to eat and walk around.

Today's Han Dynasty, the ten permanent servants are inclined to the government and the opposition. Even Lu Zhi, a great Confucian in the world, was removed from his post in the process of exterminating the Yellow Turban Army because he was unwilling to bribe the eunuchs, and was also slandered and escorted to Beijing.

Qiao Mao has always been at odds with the Ten Standing Servants, and without Qiao Xuan's backer, his future is worrying. This time the court sent an angel over, I really don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.

All the people who came out to greet the angel had different faces, and they all stepped forward and followed closely behind Qiaomao.

Only Chen Jing lowered her head and her face was hideous. He has respected Chen Xu since he was a child, and when he saw his brother being humiliated, how could he swallow this evil breath?

He looked up at Chen Xu, but he couldn't see the slightest expression on Chen Xu's face.
