On the other side, Liu Bei was ordered by Guo Jia to lead a hundred horsemen to Luoyang to make contributions. As soon as he entered Luoyang, Liu Bei went to visit the great eunuch Zhang Rang with generous gifts according to Guo Jia's instructions. Guo Jia believes that at present, his father-in-law is too guarded, so he doesn't have to take too much care of Liu Yan's feelings, and he must strive to get the greatest benefit. These Chu Xiong didn't know, they were stupid and fat people and didn't understand these tricks.

The next day, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty announced that Liu Bei had entered the Hajj.

The great eunuch Zhang Rang read out a long holy decree, which was full of words of praise for Chu Xiong. Finally, he said: "......, Zhuojun Taishou Chuxiong only relied on thousands of volunteers to completely annihilate the three Yellow Turban rebel army Cheng Yuanzhi Department 100,000 people, which can be described as a meritorious shock, my dynasty from Gaozu down, has always been rewarded for meritorious service, so Chuxiong is specially named the general of Anbei, and added the marquis of Zhuo County, and the five generals under the command of the general are captains, and they are still under the command of General Anbei. Chin this. ”

Liu Bei hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him for receiving the holy decree. At this time, Liu Bei was also happy, he couldn't imagine that the court's reward was so generous. Liu Bei was not a fool, he immediately thought that this must be a heavy gift to Zhang Rang that had played a role.

After a while, Emperor Ling of Han raised his voice and said: "Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the people of the world have been panicking, but fortunately, God bless my Han, and the Anbei general Chu Xiong destroyed the Yellow Turban Thief Army 100,000 in a battle in Zhuo County, which made Tianwei tremble." I decided to celebrate with a bangbang to appease the hearts of the people of the world. What do you think? ”

This is a good thing, and there is no reason to oppose it. So His Royal Highness and the important ministers all said: Your Majesty is wise.

When Liu Bei kowtowed and thanked him, he glanced at Zhang Rang beside the emperor, and Zhang Rang squeezed his eyes at him, which seemed to have the meaning of inviting merit.

Liu Bei knew in his heart that Zhang Rang was hinting at asking him for benefits.

After the dispersal, Liu Bei returned to the post house to wait. Another day passed, and the great eunuch Zhang Rang personally sent the official seal sword.

Liu Bei immediately set up a banquet to entertain Zhang Rang, and during the banquet, Liu Bei took out another 2,000 gold and gave it to Zhang Rang. Zhang Rang did not postpone it, and immediately ordered the little eunuch to accept it.

After getting the official seal, Liu Bei's mission to Luoyang was successfully completed. On the same day, Liu Bei led his subordinates back to Zhuo County.

At this time, the war in the world is still in full swing. The war reports that came to Youzhou from all over the country were not very good. Although the general He Jin led the left and right Yulin troops to garrison Duting to defend the safety of Luoyang, although he also appointed three lieutenant generals, commanding the five schools of the Northern Army such as Tuncai, Yue Cai, Infantry, Changshui, and Shesheng, as well as Hedong, Hanoi, Henan and other three rivers of men and horses, it can be said that the country's standing soldiers and horses to exterminate the Yellow Turban, but the North Zhonglang general Lu Zhi only had 50,000 people due to the small number of soldiers, and the object of his crusade Zhang Jiao not only had 150,000 men and horses, but also had the Jiancheng Guangzong to guard, and there was a lot of grain and grass in the city. Zhang Jiao and another mysterious figure among the Yellow Turban is quite strategic, then Lu Zhi has not failed so far because Zhang Jiao is ill, and the Yellow Turban has no intention of fighting, just waiting for the world to be encircled, and all walks of life take Luoyang, and when the overall situation has been decided, Lu Zhi will be destroyed. Therefore, Lu Zhi didn't want to win, he just hoped that in Guangzong City, the grain and grass would be exhausted as soon as possible, so that he could take advantage of the yellow turban and no food, and when the army's heart was shaken, he would be defeated in one fell swoop, but some waited. The left middle lang general Huang Fu Song, and the right middle lang general Zhu Jun attacked Yingchuan but was defeated by Bo Cai, and retreated to Changshe in desperation. On the side of the Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Niujiao captured Liu Xu, the king of Anping, and Liu Zhong, the king of Ganling, in Bingzhou; Zhang Mancheng beheaded Taishou Chu Gong in Nanyang (Junzhi Wan, now Nanyang City, Henan) and besieged Wancheng; Peng Tuo defeated Zhao Qian at Zhaoling (northeast of present-day Luohe City, Henan) in Runan (Junzhi Pingyu, present-day Pingyubei, Henan), and Huanglong also besieged Qingzhou, and the Han dynasty can be said to be crumbling.

As soon as the emperor list came out, the people of Luoyang suddenly burst into joy.

Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the people have been in constant fear. In the minds of the vast majority of people, the Yellow Turban Rebellion is as terrible as the evil ghosts of hell, and all kinds of rumors about the Yellow Turban Rebellion make the people creepy. The people feared that these demons would invade their homes. Therefore, everyone was eager for the news of the victory of the Han Dynasty, but it backfired, and the main force of the Han army held on to the Yellow Turban Army in Guangzong and Yingchuan, and failed to defeat the Yellow Turban Army for a long time. During this time, a deep melancholy could be seen on everyone's face, everyone was reluctant to talk more and was reluctant to go out, and the entire Luoyang City seemed a lot bleak.

However, at this time, in Zhuo County, Chu Xiong wiped out the 100,000 Yellow Turban Army with the 5,000 Heavenly Wolf Army in one battle, cutting off one of the three main forces of the Yellow Turban Army. This victory finally relieved the worried people. Chu Xiong's name also became a household name in a very short period of time, and many young people worshipped him as a hero.

On the other side, Liu Bei went all the way north, but before he reached the boundary of Julu Land, a not very good news reached Liu Bei.

It turned out that the master Lu Zhi was quite unsatisfactory in Guangzong, and the war was tight, and if he didn't take Guangzong, he might be questioned.

Liu Bei was sentimental, sped up the march, and wanted to go back to the lord to move the soldiers. Finally, after a month, Liu Bei rushed back to Zhuo County, and at this time, Chu Xiong had also returned, but this time he came back with an additional identity - a member of the Han family.

It is said that in order to win over Chu Xiong, Liu Yan hurriedly took advantage of the good day of the big victory over the yellow scarf, and the next day he did the marriage between Chu Xiong and his daughter, anyway, Chu Xiong has no parents here, everything is simple, just treat yourself, worship heaven and earth, etiquette, enter the cave room, XXOOO! Liu Yan was so happy that he couldn't sleep, just such a daughter in exchange for a bunch of fierce generals. Chu Xiong could only bring back that sticky Liu Yin.

This fat man just doesn't know how to be blessed in the blessing, I don't know how many people have died of envy, and I sigh every time... A flower was inserted into the lard.

Here, as soon as Liu Bei returned to Zhuo County, he went straight to Taishou Mansion, intending to ask Chu Xiong to send troops.

Guo Jia saw Liu Bei's sad look and thought that things had gone wrong. "Brother Xuande, the trip to Luoyang, is there no joy."

Liu Bei shook his head, "The Holy Lord has already made the lord the general of Anbei, the Marquis of Zhuo County." ”

Guo Jia pondered for a moment and said: "This is a happy event, why is Xuande sad." ”

Liu Bei hugged his fist at Guo Jia with a touched face and said, "Thank you Guo for your comfort!" However, I heard that the teacher and the thief fought in Guangzong for the first time, so I wanted to worry and wanted to find the lord to borrow troops to help the teacher first. After the work is over, be sure to come back to Youzhou. "My lord, I am fortunate not to be dishonored." , Liu Bei turned around and bowed down in front of Chu Xiong, holding a holy decree in both hands. At this time, Chu Xiong and the others also knew about the reward of the imperial court.

Chu Xiong took the holy decree and handed it to the tiger guard beside him without even looking at it, and then helped Liu Bei up, "Xuande has worked hard!" Let's go, let's drink! Celebrate today! ”

As he spoke, he took Liu Bei's arm and walked towards Taibai Building. Although Chu Xiong has also practiced drinking over the years, he can still drink a catty, but the atmosphere still needs to be there.

On the same day, I had a feast at the government office and drank with my brothers. Of course, I didn't forget my soldiers, and I also prepared a lot of wine and meat to reward the three armies. I'm a rich man now, rich! Don't be stingy!

Seeing that Liu Bei rescued Lu Zhi again, I immediately nodded, "The relationship between master and apprentice is a common thing in human opinion, how can I not allow it." But just before you came back, I was discussing the battle situation with Feng Xiao, and I was going to send troops to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, since you want to save your teacher, I will go together, anyway, I haven't been to Guangzong to play, "Just kidding to let Liu Bei lead the troops alone, then you won't be abducted and run away."

Liu Bei was moved in his heart, kneeling down to thank him, Liu Bei thought to himself, the lord is really benevolent, in order to help me, he actually said that he wanted to go to Guangzong to play, a dangerous place for soldiers, that is a joke with his life.

On the second day, I led 5,000 soldiers of the Heavenly Wolf Cavalry to Guangzong. Chen Zhi was also depressed in his heart, why didn't the lord take him every time. Although he doesn't fight, he has merit, but this is not what he wants, he wants to rely on his martial arts to make a name for himself.

Guangzong is located a hundred miles south of Julu, and its geographical location is very important. When the Yellow Turban Army rebelled, the 50,000 Central Army led by Lu Zhi came straight to this place, with the purpose of sealing the passage of Zhang Jiao's army to the south and then exterminating him.

The armies of the two sides met at the boundary of the vast territory. At this time, the strength of the two sides was 50,000 for Lu Zhi's Central Army and 150,000 for Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban Army.

Although Lu Zhi's Han army was far inferior in numbers to Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban Army, the Han Army's combat effectiveness and equipment were significantly stronger than the Yellow Turban Army. Therefore, after a few months, the Han army instead held the initiative on the battlefield, and finally surrounded the Yellow Turban Army in Guangzong City.
