At the beginning of August, Zhou Cang returned to Julu County disappointed. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Seeing Zhou Cang's expression, Gao Shun knew that the result was not good, and asked, "How is the situation of the Changshe?" ”

"My lord, Zhou Cang is incompetent, he can't convince Qu Shuai Bocai, he doesn't agree to transfer his family to Hanoi County, so that after the defeat, he suffered heavy losses, and the officers and soldiers slaughtered them, woo, it's all my fault." Zhou Cang said, crying.

After he cried for a while, Gao Shun soothed: "It's not your fault, don't be sad." ”

"Lord, it's so miserable, they don't even spare children, more than 100,000 people have been killed, old and young, women and children, none of them have been spared."

"Tell me about the war."

"Yes, my lord." Zhou Cang stopped crying, slowly recalled, and said: "Dong Zhuo brought 10,000 cavalry, they first cut off the connection between Bocai and Peng Tuo, and cut off the supply of heavy materials from the Changshe; They did not fight the Yellow Turban Army head-on, sent small groups of cavalry to constantly harass them every day, and often released rockets, which made the Yellow Turban Army officers and men nervous; The officers and soldiers in the city took the opportunity to backfill the trenches, and then set fire to the oxen out of the city, and rushed the spear array, and the large army took advantage of the situation to kill; The officers and soldiers attacked inside and outside, and Bocai was defeated and defeated to the south; The officers and soldiers followed behind him, attacking in batches without stopping; The Yellow Turbans fled in all directions, and their families fell into the hands of officers and soldiers, and all of them were killed. ”

Li Qiang asked, "Did Qu Shuaibo escape?" ”

Zhou Cang shook his head and said: "Basically, no one escaped the pursuit of the official army, and Qu Shuai Bocai was also killed; Not only that, the officers and soldiers also carried out brutal looting of the surrounding villages, saying that they were thieves, and the entire Yingchuan County was about to be killed by the officials and soldiers. ”

Li Qiang said angrily: "They are really inhumane. ”

Gao Shun said: "Since ancient times, if they don't kill the old and weak, how can they make war achievements? If they don't plunder, how can they get rich? By killing all the people, the nobles can divide the land, which is a once-in-a-lifetime feast for them. ”

Subsequently, the information continued to be sent, and after the Yellow Turban in Yingchuan County was exterminated, the officers and soldiers were divided into three routes, Dong Zhuo led the troops into Runan County, and cleared the Yellow Turban Army in the remaining areas of Yuzhou; Zhu Jun went to Jingzhou to help Lu Zhi; Huangfu Song entered Yanzhou.

Gao Shun thought to himself, what happened next is basically similar to history. In the field, the Yellow Turban Army was not the opponent of the official army, and it was inevitable that it would be exterminated.

Fang Liang then also sent news, which made Gao Shun very happy in his heart.

After Qingzhou Qushuai Buji entered Xuzhou, he frantically plundered the counties of Yanzhou, and maintained a peaceful coexistence posture with the counties of Taishan County, Xuzhou.

And actively contacted the small Yellow Turban Army in Yanzhou, and with their support, a large number of county towns in Yanzhou were conquered and a lot of wealth was plundered.

Due to the adoption of the management method of separating soldiers and civilians, the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban Army was greatly improved, and the northwest to Dong'a and the southwest to Rencheng were all within the scope of their plunder, and all the local gentry and officials fled, and no one could defeat them.

Bu Ji asked them to move to Taishan County, and their strength grew very quickly, with more than 300,000 people.

In addition, 20 camps and material warehouses were built in the interior of the Taishan Mountains, and all family members were transferred to live in the camps, and only the army was stationed in Chixian County to implement militarized management.

Huangfu Song entered Yanzhou to clear the Yellow Turban Army, which helped Bu Ji a lot, and a small group of Yellow Turban Army flocked to seek refuge.

Qu Shuai Bu did not refuse to come, and accepted all of them, but according to his rules, all the Yellow Turban Army was reorganized, elite soldiers, regular soldiers and auxiliary soldiers were selected, and then their families were placed in the camp in the Taishan Mountains.

The commanders of the small Yellow Turban Army all served as the small leaders of the regular soldiers, and their families were all placed without discrimination, and all of them accepted Bu Ji's arrangement.

The king of Yanzhou and Jibei fled to the north of the Yellow River; Dongjun even moved the capital to Dongwu County on the north bank of the Yellow River. A large number of Yanzhou people either moved north of the Yellow River or sought refuge in Qingzhou.

At the end of August, Huangfu Song arrived in Chixian County, and Bu Ji led his troops to withdraw to the Taishan Mountains, using the mountain to snipe layer by layer.

Most of the officers and soldiers led by Huangfu Song were cavalry, which was not suitable for fighting in the mountains, and if they attacked forcibly, they would inevitably suffer heavy losses, so they had to suspend the attack and wait for His Majesty's orders; The Battle of Yanzhou ended.

Dong Zhuo killed Peng Tuo in Runan County, and the Yellow Turban Army scattered and fled. Dong Zhuo had no choice but to continue to clear the other counties and rescue the besieged Wang Yun. Under the joint attack of Dong Zhuo and Wang Yun, the Yellow Turban Thieves in Yuzhou were quickly pacified.

It's just that no other officials and soldiers didn't cooperate, and they were busy killing and gaining military exploits, so that he couldn't complete the task assigned by Yuan Situ, and he was very depressed in his heart.

The careful Wang Yun searched the Yellow Turban Army and found a letter written by a guest who was often serving Zhang Rang, which involved some content related to the Yellow Turban Army. Wang Yun didn't care about the stakes, he suspected that Zhang Rang was having an affair with the Yellow Turban Army, so he further investigated, exposed all the specific details, and wrote to the emperor.

Wang Yunanti was falsely accused by Zhang Rang and imprisoned.

The strength of the official army in Xuzhou was not strong, and after driving the Yellow Turban Army to the south of Langya County and Yanzhou Taishan County, the official army continued to have no power to counterattack; Huang Long, the Yellow Turban General of Donglai County, has developed and grown in Langya County.

The Yellow Turban Army in Yangzhou was the weakest, and was quickly suppressed by the local government and scholars.

The fiercest war was fought in Wancheng, Nanyang County, Jingzhou.

The arrival of Zhu Jun greatly increased the strength of the official army; And the defeat of Bocai caused the morale of the Yellow Turban Army to plummet; The three Zhang Jiao brothers were beheaded by the official army, so that all the officers and soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army could not see any hope.

At this time, Zhao Hong, the commander of the Yellow Turban Canal, was killed by Lu Zhi, and the Yellow Turban Army in Wancheng was led by Han Zhong.

For the Yellow Turban Army in Wancheng, they are no longer fighting for their beliefs, they are just fighting for survival, fighting for themselves, and under being forced, the combat effectiveness that erupts is even stronger.

Zhu Jun ordered people to build a mountain of earth, facing the drums and shouting in the city, and posed a posture of attacking the southwest of the city. The Yellow Turban Army all rushed to the southwest of the city to meet the enemy. Zhu Jun led 5,000 elite soldiers to attack the northeast, and the soldiers were brave and brave, and Han Zhong retreated to the small city, very frightened, and asked to surrender.

Zhu Jun didn't allow it, climbed the dirt mountain, looked at the Yellow Turban camp, and then said to his army Sima Zhang Chao: "I know, the thieves' periphery is strong, the inner camp is urgent, they can't surrender, and they can't come out if they want to, so they fight to the death." Ten thousand people are united, and it is not enough, let alone 100,000! The harm of the strong attack is too great, it is better to remove the encirclement and gather troops into the city, Han Zhong sees that the encirclement has been lifted, he will definitely come out by himself, and when they come out, the soldiers' hearts will be scattered, this is an easy way to break through. “

Lu Zhi and others all agree with this approach.

So the order was given to lift the siege. Han Zhong saw that the siege was over, and he really led the army to battle, and the army took advantage of the situation to attack, breaking his army, pursuing more than ten miles, and killing more than 10,000 people.

Han Zhong and the others had no choice but to surrender, and the Taishou Qin Jie killed Han Zhong.

The officials and soldiers rebelled, which made the remnants of the Yellow Turban feel frightened and unable to settle down, and Sun Xia was the commander of the canal and was stationed in Wancheng.

At the end of September, Zhu Jun attacked, Sun Xia was defeated, and Zhu Jun's troops killed tens of thousands; As a result, the yellow scarves of Nanyang County were scattered and no longer harmed.

The Battle of the Yellow Turbans in Nanyang County ended victoriously.

Gao Shun fully achieved his goal in the war to suppress the Yellow Turban Uprising, became a marquis, and obtained more than 100,000 synthetic places.
