The two thousand riders charged into the middle of the xanthopanax, Guan Yu's Azure Dragon crescent moon knife and Chunyu Qiong's axe immediately cut down a portion of it, followed by a rain of blood. Seeing that the opponent was so fierce and terrified to the extreme, the xanthopanax s all turned around to flee, the tens of thousands of army immediately went into chaos. The two thousand riders immediately chased the fleeing xanthopanax and charged into the main army of the yellow scarfed army. In a single go, they completely annihilated the main army. who was being surrounded by the xanthopanax immediately raised his blade and roared: "Charge!" The two thousand infantry s roared, like a mad tiger, they rushed out from all directions, like a tiger, like a mad wolf, they slaughtered their enemies, causing their flesh and blood to fly everywhere, and their corpses to roll all over the place! xanthopanax could not hold on any longer, and was completely defeated!

Sun Zhong was still trying to turn the situation, shouting and shouting, trying to kill his subordinates who had escaped. However, the situation could not be reversed, even Sun Zhong himself was swept away by the tide of soldiers and escaped. Chen Lang and the rest started killing, chasing and killing in all four directions, causing the xanthopanax to be strewn all over the place, with blood flowing like a river!

When the two of them saw this, they were extremely excited and their eyes burned with passion. Zhou Yu, on the other hand, had a gloomy face and looked extremely angry. Immediately, Zhou Yu trembled in his heart, and muttered: "This Chen Lang is even craftier than I expected! This cavalry unit was obviously pre-arranged by him! This person will definitely become a thorn in the side of the Lord! "

Chen Lang's army had defeated the Yellow Bandits in one move, killing more than 20,000 people, capturing more than 50,000 people, the rest had fled towards the northwest direction.

Chen Lang, accompanied by Guan Yu, went to the lakeside, and looked at the fleet that was gradually disappearing in the distance, smiling slightly. Guan Yu said in disdain: "I had long heard that Zhou Gongjin was a powerful being, I never thought that he would actually be such a coward!"

Chen Lang shook his head, and said: "Don't underestimate him! Zhou Gongjin did not fight with the xanthopanax because he is afraid, but because he has other considerations. " He lowered his head and thought for a moment. He raised his head and said, "Maybe he is afraid of losing too much. He can't keep Changsha."

Chunyu Qiong spurred his horse over and shouted, "Master, look at those commoners!"

Chen Lang and Guan Yu turned around. The commoners of Lushan River who had already fled gathered from all directions, one after another, kneeling in front of their horses. All of them had grateful expressions, and their voices were filled with gratitude. Chen Lang couldn't help but feel an unprecedented sense of achievement in his heart, and shouted, "Everyone, don't be afraid, we will protect you all. Now you can go home! " The citizens cheered and got up to return to Lushan River. To them, this was their home. If they didn't have any other choice, who would be willing to leave their hometown?!

An officer ran to Chen Lang and cupped his fists: "wolf brother, our brothers have lost more than 200 people in this battle."

Chen Lang nodded, "This is unavoidable. The fallen brothers are all good people, we have to properly collect their corpses. " The officer saluted with his fists and ran down the stairs.

Chunyu Qiong asked: Master, how do we deal with the fifty thousand xanthopanax s that were captured?

Chen Lang thought for a while, then said: "Come with me to take a look."

The group arrived in front of the yellow scarfed captive. The captives looked up at them, terrified. Chen Lang had hated them a lot before, but now that he looked at them, that hatred disappeared without a trace. In the end, these bandits were not commoners! How could they blame them for all the terrible things they had done? Human nature was already so cruel! If they weren't forced by the government and incited by Zhang Jiao, how could they have done such a terrifying thing?

Two big men suddenly rushed out from the crowd. Guan Yu glared as he stepped forward and held the Azure Dragon crescent moon knife horizontally in front of his chest.

The two burly men suddenly kneeled to the ground and kowtowed. "I wish to submit to the lord and serve the lord from behind!"

Chen Lang said: "Both of you, stand up." The two of them acknowledged and stood up. Chen Lang couldn't help but praise them in his heart when he saw their appearances. The one on the left had a broad chest, bulging muscles and was extremely strong, as if he had an inexhaustible power. His face was black and filled with steel needles and whiskers, which gave him the appearance of Zhang Fei. The one on the right had a tall stature and no beard, and although he couldn't be compared to the one on the left, he was still a very strong and sturdy man.

Chunyu Qiong said: "I have seen these two just now. They didn't try to fight us or run for their lives, and when they saw us coming, they immediately kneeled down and surrendered. "

Chen Lang asked: "What are your names?"

The man on the left immediately shouted: "My name is Zhou Cang." The man on the right followed, "My name is Pei Yuanshao."

Chen Lang's heart skipped a beat, he laughed and asked: Why did you submit to me?

Their eyes immediately revealed an expression of incomparable reverence as they said in unison, "Sir, you are a hero and we admire you so greatly, so we wish to follow you!"

Chen Lang nodded, "Alright, then follow me from now on." The two of them were overjoyed and kowtowed three more times before standing up.

Pei Yuanshao cupped his fists at Chen Lang: "Master, these xanthopanax s are actually pitiful commoners, they were forced to rebel, I beg master to take them all!"

When the captives of the xanthopanax heard this, they hurriedly kneeled down and begged.

Chen Lang pondered for a moment, then said to the rest of the people: "Our army's military discipline is extremely strict, if there is the slightest violation, they will be severely punished. If you think you can take it, I can accept you all." All the captives from the xanthopanax kowtowed without hesitation: "We are willing!" In fact, these yellow scarfed captives had already started to yearn for Chen Lang after seeing their valiant ways as well as the attitude of the guardians. The military discipline and strictness was not a problem for them.

Chen Lang said to Guan Yu and the rest: "Choose the strong ones from the group and send them to the army. The rest will be arranged to settle down around the Lushan River." Guan Yu and the rest acknowledged it with their fists.

In order to get rid of the situation where he was always buried in papers, Chen Lang had imitated the Imperial Examinations that had just begun in the Tang Dynasty, and passed the examinations to select talented people from the public. It had to be known that at this time, the system of selecting talents was mainly based on filial piety. It was mainly because the local officials recommended talents to the officials, which had a big problem. Those who were unknown and had nothing to do with the government, and those who were not born into the Confucian school, would not be able to stand up no matter how talented they were. But Chen Lang's method of examination allowed everyone, no matter who it was, to have the chance to stand up for him, even if they were beggars. Once this method was implemented, it immediately caused a sensation in the entire Lushan River. The Confucian Scholar angrily rebuked Chen Lang for betraying his family, but the majority of the commoners were elated.

Through this method, Chen Lang selected quite a few talents, and then, he tossed the heavy burden of internal affairs to them. Chen Lang only felt that a heavy burden had finally been lifted off his shoulders.

At noon that day, Chen Lang was strolling by the pond in the mansion's backyard. Guan Yu and Chunyu Qiong came. Guan Yu cupped his fists and said: "Big brother, we have completed the preparation for the captives. A total of ten thousand strong and robust practitioners have been selected, all of whom have a robust physique and are daring to fight! "

Chen Lang raised his eyebrows, and said: Only ten thousand? I thought I could get at least twenty thousand! " Guan Yu said: "We can also choose from twenty thousand, but the quality will drop a lot! If big brother wants to pick twenty thousand, little brother will do it! "

Chen Lang waved his hand, saying, "There's no need. The soldiers are not too expensive, I believe that the ten thousand elite soldiers selected by Yun Zhang are much more powerful than those twenty thousand! " Guan Yu laughed.

Chen Lang asked: "Is there a big gap in the military armour?"

Guan Yu laughed: "Sun Mo that guy ran too fast, he didn't even move away from the armory. The supplies in the armory, together with the weapons and armor that we have seized, are enough to equip these ten thousand troops. " Chen Lang was extremely happy, he laughed: "I never thought that Sun Mo would actually give me such a great gift!" Guan Yu and Chunyu Qiong both laughed.

Chen Lang looked at Chunyu Qiong and asked, "How is the situation on the battlefield in the Central Plains?"

Chunyu Qiong cupped her fists and said: "General Huang Po has written a letter to the imperial government accusing Dong Zhuo of his crimes, but now that Dong Zhuo has been put on hold, the imperial government has appointed General Huang Po as the commander, with the authority to punish Zhang Jiao. Lu Langzhong had also returned to his post, returning to Guangzong to assist General Huang. Furthermore General Zhu Jun has already trapped Zhang Bao's position and is currently in a decisive battle.

Chen Lang thought: "Looks like it's already a matter of time before xanthopanax loses."

Chunyu Qiong cupped her fists: "Master, this general has just received the orders from the Huang Po general, to help you settle the matters here, and to return immediately! This lowly general has come today to bid farewell to the Lord! "

After Chen Lang heard this, he could not help but be reluctant. After getting along with him for the past few days, Chen Lang realised that this Chunyu Qiong was not the same appearance as the three nations, but was a brave, straightforward, and straightforward general. Although he did not dare say that he could take charge by himself, he was definitely one of the best. In fact, Chen Lang did not know that the real Chunyu Qiong in history, Cao Cao Cao had wanted to recruit him, but he was worried that he would not be able to make him submit, which was why he killed him.

Chunyu Qiong could not help but be moved, and said: "Master is the most amazing person I have ever seen, and I am also willing to follow you, just that I can't go against your orders!"
