Huangfusong sent a letter to Luoyang in person, looking forward to the imperial court allowing him to lead his troops to Nanyang, where he could join forces with his old friend Zhu Bi to pacify Zhang Mancheng's rebellion.
However, before the imperial edict, Huang Fu Song was not idle. Instead, he separated forces with Cao Cao Liu Ye to pursue the remains of BOCAI and attack the Yellow turban thieves in Runan and the state of Chen. He killed Peng Tuo and brought down the three prefectures in one fell swoop.
On the first day of August, cangting.
More than ten thousand yellow turban thieves ran over in a panic, their faces full of startled Fu Ding's color.
Bu Ji breathlessly wiped the sweat on his forehead and looked at the panic stricken faces around him. He could not help but say, "what are you afraid of? Now that we are out of danger, we should hide in the mountains and come out when the officers and soldiers are gone. "
Boom!
The sound of the horse's hooves vibrated, and a cavalry suddenly came out from the side, shouting to kill the sky.
"Kill me, catch me alive!"
"Kill the thief, put down the traitor!"
It turns out that Liu Ye had been lurking around for a long time with hundreds of horses, and had been hiding all the time. Bu Ji's headquarters were deliberately driven to this place by the officers and soldiers. The cavalry immediately killed them and only took the flag of Buji.
The Yellow turban thief is like a frightened bird. He is rushed by Liu Ye's cavalry and is immediately confused.
At this time, a roaring arrow rose into the sky and made a sharp noise in the air. Buji's face changed greatly.
"Kill!"
All of a sudden, there were shouts of killing in all directions, and the flags on both sides were more clearly visible in the field, with CaO on one side and Huangfu on the other.
The cavalry rushed back and forth, and caught more than ten thousand yellow turban thieves, while Cao Cao's and Huang Fu Song's troops approached quickly. Eight thousand troopers formed a tight formation, and a row of shield walls rushed forward.
The officers and soldiers were far superior to the Yellow turban thieves in terms of sharpness and equipment. The commanders were Liu Ye, Cao Cao and huangfusong. Naturally, the Yellow turban thieves were on the verge of collapse. Xia Houdun rushed in with his cavalry, all the way to kill Buji's flag and pick Bu Ji under his horse.
The Yellow turban bandits fled thousands of people before the officers and soldiers were surrounded on all sides, and all the remaining thousands were surrounded.
However, although the remaining 7000 yellow turban thieves were afraid, none of them surrendered. They still held their weapons tightly in their hands and looked at the officers and soldiers nervously. It has been spread that huangfusong killed 100000 yellow turban thieves and made a Jingguan. The Yellow turban thieves have already known that huangfusong is a "murderer maniac" and refuses to surrender.
Seeing this scene, Huang Fu Song did not change his countenance and waved: "kill all."
The eight thousand Han Army obeyed their orders. The archers stretched their bows and tied the strings, and a shower of arrows fell. The swords and shields were erected into a shield wall, and the spearmen were killed in turn. More than 7000 yellow turban thieves were killed, bleeding all over the ground and floating corpses everywhere.
Liu Ye wipes the blood on his palm with his clothes. Looking back, he sees huangfusong looking down at a letter, frowning.
Liu Ye immediately galloped out of the yellow scarf thieves and came to huangfusong.
"Lang Jiang, what are you looking at?"
Huang Fu Song smiles and doesn't answer Liu Ye. Instead, he calls to Cao Cao in the distance: "Meng De, come quickly."
Cao Cao rushed over, turned over and dismounted, and said with a smile, "Lang will summon the last general. Is there any happy event?"
Huangfu Song Ha ha ha a smile: "really let you say right, Cao mengde listen to purpose."
Cao Cao's face was serious: "the last general's order." Although he obeyed the imperial edict, Cao Cao did not kneel down. Since Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty inspected Zhou Yafu's Xiliu military camp, Zhou Yafu replied, "you can't salute if you put your armor on your body at the end of the day." since then, Han soldiers rarely kneel down to see the emperor.
"It's a pity that Cao Qinzhou has not been ordered to do so, and Cao Qingwei has done a good job for the bandits
Huangfu song finished and said with a smile to Cao Cao: "Meng De, congratulations on your appointment as the Prime Minister of Jinan."
Cao Cao stood up and clasped his fists and said, "thank you very much. I just don't know where the imperial court appointed Yuqing and Lang to go."
Huang Fu Song said with a smile: "Dong Zhongying was defeated and the situation in Hebei was erosive. The imperial court ordered me to take over the post of Dong Zhuo and go to Hebei District to calm down the Zhang Jiao rebellion."
It's rare for Liu Ye to take a look at him
Cao Cao sighed, and his face was somewhat reluctant to give up: "it's a pleasure to follow Lang Jiang and Yu Qing to break the thieves these days, but it's a pity that we can't build a great cause."
Liu Ye said with a smile: "brother Meng De, why should you worry? As long as your heart is in one place, you will serve the great man wherever you are, and how can you share with each other."
Cao Cao nodded: "Yuqing said yes."
Liu Ye said solemnly, "there is one thing to entrust to brother Meng."
When Cao Cao saw Liu Ye's serious expression, he immediately said, "Yu Qing, if you can do it, you will never give up half a point."
"If you start your family in Licheng, you have one heart in Licheng named Wude. If brother Meng de arrives in Jinan, you can take care of it. If the bandits in Jinan are still in chaos, you can also send troops from Wude to pacify the rebellion."Originally, Liu Ye started his army from Licheng and had 3000 soldiers under him. However, there were less than 1000 people willing to follow him. Although the rest were not willing to leave his hometown, they were all his own cronies at least, and they must be useful in the future.
What's more, the former Prime Minister of Jinan let himself be offended. When he returned to Jinan, although he was far away from other cities, he was bound to attack his old subordinates. Now that Cao Cao takes over as the Prime Minister of Jinan, he can breathe a sigh of relief.
Cao Cao laughed: "under Yuqing's command, it must be a brave general. Some nature is good at protecting it."
After that, Liu Ye personally wrote a letter to Cao Cao. When Cao Cao took office in Jinan, he handed the letter to Wude. Naturally, it was easy to see.
When Cao Cao left for the post of State Minister of Jinan, it was impossible for Cao Cao to take away all the officers and troops. He only took the brothers of Xiahou and more than a hundred riders, and the rest of the troops were entrusted to huangfusong. After all, huangfusong was about to go north to Jizhou to pacify Zhangjiao. Now it is the time to employ people, so the number of soldiers is not enough.
Huangfusong and Liu Ye took a rest in cangting and immediately went north. After all, with Dong Zhuo's defeat, no army in the north of the Yellow River could compete with the Yellow turban bandits. Now that the Hebei war situation is erosive, huangfusong naturally wants military speed. The sooner the better.
Because most of the Yellow turban thieves in the central plains were defeated, and Huangfu song showed his name blatantly, many yellow turban thieves were frightened to see the word "Huangfu", so the journey was smooth.
Huangfu song army marched all the way. On the seventh day of August, they reached the north of the Yellow River. Just before reaching Guangzong, they got a good news.
Zhang Jiao, dead.
