The garrisons of Juping County and Cheng County were selected by two county lieutenants, and those who passed the selection were sent to Jinan, Yu Ban was responsible for training, and their families were placed on the spot.

The Yellow Turban general Sima Ju was appointed as the military commander and went to Jinan together.

The first task assigned to Sima Ju by Fang Liang was to send him to Dongwu County, Langya County to persuade Huang Long to surrender, they were both generals of Qu Shuai Buji, and the relationship between the two was good, it was better for Sima Ju to come forward than for Qu Shuai Bu Ji, otherwise if Huang Long refused, there would be no room for even a loop.

Fang Liang's condition was to let Huang Long serve as the military commander.

Sima Ju is full of confidence in this work, he believes that Huanglong will never dare to confront the Marquis of Guangping, surrendering now is a good choice, at least he can mix the treatment of a military Sima, if he makes military achievements in the future, he will continue to improve, it is much better than being a thief with no future.

At the beginning of April, Sima Ju led a cavalry escort to Dongwu County, the garrison of Huanglong, through the Qi State and the Beihai State, and the whole journey took five days.

Huang Long's management of the troops is not so careful, or the soldiers and the people are not separated, dragging the family with the mouth, in the event of a war, a rush to the top, if the war is not smooth, will be scattered in a hurry, there is no order at all.

However, the number of officers and soldiers under his jurisdiction was relatively small, only his direct guards were still troops, and the rest of the personnel had been converted into civilians on the spot, and Huanglong relied on the meager taxes provided by the counties to maintain the situation.

The original local officials and clans have long since fled, and the territory of several counties is under the management of Huanglong, but few of the people he leads are literate, let alone managed, which is really difficult for them who have no management experience.

The advantage is that the tax is low, and the local people can still have food and clothing to some extent, which is much better than the days when they were oppressed by officials and big families before.

However, the families of the little handsome took advantage of the situation and became managers in various places, and some even became local tyrants, which Huang Long did not want to see, but he could not do anything about it.

Huang Long was very happy about Sima Ju's arrival.

Sima Ju didn't ink, the two sides sat down, waved away, he directly told Huang Long that the Yellow Turban Army was gone, and there was no chance of a comeback, so he took the opportunity to take refuge in the Marquis of Guangping, obtained an official identity, and changed a good future for his subordinates and family members as the best policy.

The Marquis of Guangping is now the emperor's son-in-law, and as the Minister of State of Jinan and the Taishou of Langya County and Taishan County, the future is unlimited, and now it is actively expanding the military, it is the opportunity to use people, if the surrender of the Marquis of Guangping, it will definitely be able to obtain a broad space for development.

Huang Long was very excited, he had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

Sima Ju also introduced several Qu Shuai who had defected to the champion Hou at the beginning, and now they have all mixed into the position of Sima of other departments, and even a few generals, at least military Sima, enjoy a salary of 800 stones, if they have military merits, they will be promoted to higher positions.

More importantly, the champion Hou and Guangping Hou and others did not discriminate against the surrendered personnel of the Yellow Turban Army, let alone settle accounts after the autumn, everyone can rest assured, this is a rare opportunity for people from below, and they must seize it.

Huang Long deeply understands this, if it wasn't for the original Youzhou army to let them go, they would have been annihilated a long time ago, and the captured sect members have already lived a stable life now, only those who fled Qingzhou are still living in fear all day long.

Now even Qu Shuai Buji has surrendered to the Marquis of Guangping and served as the Sima of other departments, and he is now surrendering to the Marquis of Guangping, just under the steps, and can easily persuade his subordinates.

Now Huang Long is worried that there are too few officers and soldiers under his jurisdiction, and he will not be able to select so many soldiers by then, how will he take office?

Sima Ju talked about Fang Liang's reorganization method, which will be unified at that time, and there is no need to worry about it.

Huang Long dispelled all his worries and promised to surrender to the Marquis of Guangping, and could send people to accept the territory as soon as possible.

Sima Ju immediately returned to Jinan and reported to Fang Liang.

Fang Liang was very happy and immediately transferred Sima Zhang Meng back from other departments.

3,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry were drawn from the troops trained by Yu Ban, led by Zhang Meng, to receive Huanglong's territory; Both Sima Ju and Huang Long were appointed as military commanders under him.

Zhang Meng was very happy with Fang Liang's arrangement, he knew that the relationship between the Marquis of Guangping and the Champion Hou was very close, and the system adopted was the same, and if he wanted to continue to be promoted, he must make meritorious contributions; Leading the troops alone this time is a good opportunity for him to make meritorious contributions.

Originally, Wu Anguo and Yu Ban both applied to serve in Langya County, so as to sweep away the bandits from all over the country and make contributions; Helplessly, now Fang Liang can't do without them, Wu Anguo is responsible for guarding the rear, and Yu Ban is busy training soldiers and horses, and no one else can replace him.

More importantly, Zhang Meng is the general of the Yellow Turban, who originally served as the commander of the Yellow Turban Canal, and can smoothly absorb the Yellow Dragon forces, and with him cooperating with the criminals (Bu Ji), it is easier to absorb the bandits everywhere.

In order to balance, Yu Ban's salary was raised by one level, which was the same as that of Sima from other departments, and he enjoyed a salary of 1,000 stones.

Wu Anguo and Yu Ban had no choice but to give up.

Zhang Meng was accompanied by the county commanders and county lieutenants of several counties, as well as the subordinate officials who were equipped.

Each county lieutenant brought a tun of cavalry, and then recruited Wutun infantry for the defense of the county after taking office.

Due to the large amount of baggage he carried, the troops' journey was slow, and it was not until the end of April that Zhang Meng arrived at the county seat of Dongwu.

First of all, the officers and soldiers under the jurisdiction of Huanglong, that is, his direct guards, totaled more than 2,000 people, selected those who were qualified, formed two cavalry and two infantry divisions, and the rest were placed as people on the spot.

Zhang Meng felt that Sima Ju and Huang Long had no experience in leading cavalry, so he asked them to lead 2,000 infantry each, each with a tun of cavalry as a guard and herald, and 3,000 cavalry led by himself.

Second, the county commanders and county lieutenants of Gumu County, Zhu County, Langya County, Haiqu County, and Dongwu County took office one after another, stabilizing the local situation and enabling a smooth transition. In order to win the hearts and minds of the people, they also cracked down on the handsome and bullies who did evil in various places, and openly beheaded a group of people who had great grievances.

These members of the Yellow Turban Army, who have been cultivating here for many years, live a stable life, and do not have much resistance.

Subsequently, Zhang Meng led the troops under his jurisdiction to Ju County.

Ju County is located on the east bank of the Shu River, and Dongguan County (later Yishui County), Zangba's station, only 60 miles away.

After stabilizing the situation in Ju County, Zhang Meng recruited troops in Ju County and sent Sima Ju to lead 2,000 infantry to Yangdu County to station.

Through this period of exchange, Zhang Meng felt that Sima Ju was okay in commanding troops, but martial arts and strategy were by no means Zang Ba's opponents, so he ordered him to strictly guard the county seat, and never go out of the city to fight a decisive battle with him, and let the county magistrate and county lieutenant of Yangdu County be his deputies to assist in guarding the county seat.

Zhang Meng's plan was to take advantage of the cavalry's agitation to quickly recover Dong'an County and Dongguan County, and drive Zang Ba into the western mountains. He was sure that Zang Ba must be short of cavalry, and he Zhang Meng, who had been training in the frontier for more than a year, was the best at using cavalry to fight, and in the plain areas of Dong'an County and Dongguan County, Zang Ba's thieves were by no means his opponents.

At this time, Sima Fancai (Bu Ji) of the other department was stationed in Mengyin County, not far from Yangdu County, through the Dongwen River valley, the road was relatively flat, only more than 140 miles away.

Zhang Meng's move not only opened up the connection between Ju County and Kaiyang City, avoided the threat of bandits to Kaiyang City, but also formed a siege of bandits in the west; Strive to eliminate Zang Ba in one fell swoop and pacify Langya County.
