Chapter 20: A Brief Peace

After forcing Chu Yan to surrender, Liu Meng led the army to Guangzong City.

On the way, after Liu Meng asked the girl again, Chu Yan also told the truth, it turned out that this woman was Zhang Jiao's daughter Zhang Ning, and Zhang Jiao's only bloodline left, Zhang Jiao was entrusted to the people of Guangzong after his death, no wonder Chu Yan was very nervous about her.

When he arrived, the battle was over, there were corpses and scattered military flag weapons everywhere, the weapons naturally had to be recovered, and these corpses had to be dragged out of the city for burial, otherwise it would be easy to have a plague, Dong Zhuo was commanding the troops to clean up the battlefield, and when he saw Liu Meng returning, he greeted him.

"Fengyi, it is all your credit to be able to break the thieves today, and I will definitely report to the court to report your merits." Dong Zhuole said hehehe.

Hearing Dong Zhuo's words, Chu Yan's face beside Liu Meng also changed, and Liu Meng also sighed secretly, this Dong Zhuo really added fuel to the fire, and he didn't completely subdue Chu Yan, and these words definitely made Chu Yan's hatred for him deeper.

"Brother Zhong Ying praised it falsely, it was you, Brother Zhong Ying, who broke through the city, I don't dare to take credit." Liu Meng knew that Dong Zhuo was ambitious, and his credit was not good, so he hurriedly shirked it.

Sure enough, when Dong Zhuo heard Liu Meng say this, his face showed a look of satisfaction.

"Haha, Fengyi is too modest, who are these two people? Fengyi didn't seem to take these two people with him when he sent out the army, right? Dong Zhuo found Chu Yan and Zhang Ning.

"These two are brother and sister, both from my hometown, who came to join me, and happened to meet them outside the city." Liu Meng had already thought of his rhetoric.

Dong Zhuo didn't delve into it after hearing this, and continued: "Now that Guangzong has decided, I plan to send Zhang Jiao's coffin, kill the corpse, and send it to Luoyang for merit." ”

As soon as Dong Zhuo's words fell, Chu Yan's eyes suddenly split, her right hand clenched her sword, and she was about to kill Dong Zhuo when she saw the posture, Zhang Ning was also angry, but she was just a little girl and couldn't do anything.

Liu Meng secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly held down Chu Yan's hand, and hurriedly said: "Brother Zhong Ying can't be like this, let's not say that the dead are the greatest, now it's just Guangzong Pingding, but there are still a large number of yellow scarves in various places undecided, Brother Zhong Ying's doing this will definitely attract those people's deep hatred, if you attack desperately, Brother Zhong Ying is naturally not afraid, but it will also be annoying." ”

Dong Zhuo was scared of the yellow scarf some time ago, and he was a little afraid that something like that would happen when he heard Liu Meng say this, since Liu Meng gave him a step in his words, he also agreed.

Chu Yan immediately glanced at Liu Meng gratefully, he also understood that if Liu Meng hadn't stopped him, even if he killed Dong Zhuo, he and Zhang Ning would not be able to escape, and they would inevitably die, but he couldn't do it if he watched Zhang Jiao being beheaded in a coffin, and now it was the best ending.

Just after the end of the battle, everyone was a little tired, so they all went back to rest, because Chu Yan had surrendered, Liu Meng in order not to make him feel distrustful of him, so he did not let Zhang Ning live with Ren Xiu'er, but let Chu Yan take care of her.

It's night.

"Uncle Chu, thanks to Liu Meng today, my father's body was preserved, what kind of person do you say he is? You know, it's a big credit, why did he stop it? Zhang Ning asked.

"My subordinates can't understand it, if it's because of what he said during the day, I don't think it's realistic, now that the sect leader and many Qu Shuai have died, my Yellow Turban people are already leaderless, the general trend has gone, and it is impossible to do anything at all."

"I think so, too, I think he did this to collect Uncle Chu's heart, and give up such a great achievement just for this purpose, which shows that he values you very much, as Uncle Chu said, now that my yellow scarf is gone, it is better for you to surrender sincerely, and live up to your skills." Zhang Ning guessed Liu Meng's intentions at once, which shows that this little girl is not as simple as she appears on the outside.

"Why did Mademoiselle say that? I have received a great favor from the sect leader and cannot be repaid, Liu Meng killed many of my brothers, and it was his plan to break Guangzong, if it wasn't for the comfort of the young lady, how could I surrender him. ”

"My father is only to return the people of the world to a peaceful and prosperous world, but the human heart is the most complicated, his mind is good, but the people under his command are not all like this, taking the opportunity to burn and loot all evil is not a few, so my father once said that if he succeeds in doing something, there is nothing to do, but if he fails to do something, the world will fall into chaos, now you and I are helpless, I see Liu Mengqi although he kills decisively but is not a person who loves to kill, you and I can temporarily attach, if he is really a person who has achieved great things, we might as well really belong to it, Maybe he can do what his father didn't. ”

"I listen to Miss."

Soon after, news came that Huangfu Song caught up with Zhang Liang's defeated army and beheaded him in Quyang. Zhu Jun attacked Yangcheng very urgently, the thief general Yan Zheng saw that the situation was impossible to assassinate Zhang Bao and surrendered, Zhu Jun with the victorious army swept all the way to Nanyang Yellow Turban thieves, and even leveled more than a dozen counties. At this point, all the main forces of the Yellow Turbans were destroyed, and the remaining remnants could not become a major matter, and the mighty Yellow Turban Uprising was suppressed.

Emperor Ling issued an order to reward those who broke the yellow scarf, and Liu Meng was naturally among them, he was a military horse, but a subordinate of the general He Jin, and he wanted to return to Luoyang to report on his work and then be rewarded.

Since that battle, Liu Meng has not replenished his soldiers and horses, because he knows that if history has not changed, he is at the foot of the Son of Heaven in Luoyang, and it is impossible to have a large number of soldiers and horses, and these more than 900 people will be dispersed and settled in Luoyang, and there should be no war for a period of time in the future, so after receiving the holy decree, he said goodbye to Dong Zhuo and went to Luoyang with his subordinates.

Luoyang City, according to the mountain in the north, looking at Yique in the south, Luoshui runs through it, according to the Tiger Prison Pass in the east, controlling Hanguguan in the west, surrounded by mountains, standing in a forest of Xiongguan, so it has the name of "Eight Guanduyi", "Mountains and rivers arch Dai, the situation is in the world", and it is located in the "middle of the world", "the east presses the Jianghuai, the west is close to the Long, the north passes Youyan, the south is Jingxiang", it is called "the eight directions of the radiation", "the hinterland of Kyushu" and "the thoroughfare of the ten provinces". Therefore, all dynasties and dynasties have been the places where the princes and the emperors of the Central Plains must compete.

After Liu Meng came to Luoyang to meet Emperor Ling, because Dong Zhuo only mentioned Liu Meng's leading the army to help in the battle report, he took most of the credit on himself, so Emperor Ling just praised Liu Meng for a few words and then gave up after sealing Liu Meng as a general with a miscellaneous name who had no effect.

Because the Yellow Turban has been decided at this time, there is no war for the time being, so Liu Meng, the military Sima under the general, is now idle, except for attending regular meetings every period of time, there is nothing to do all day long. Although Liu Meng felt that this was a waste of time, he had nothing to do, the power of his butterfly was too small, and the storm that fanned did not change the last calm period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, so he could only wait quietly for the opportunity.
