"What do you two think of Liu Bei?" Chen Chu asked Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei rolled his eyes and said, "This big-eared guy is not a match for me, Lao Zhang." Chen Chu really has nothing to say. This Zhang Fei is really! Alas! There is nothing to do with him!

Chen Chu turned his head to look at Guan Yu again, but saw Guan Yu lower his head and think for a moment, then turned his eyes to frown and said, "Liu Bei seems to be very scheming!"

Chen Chu nodded and said, "That's it. Chang Yun, how did the inclusion of the Yellow Turban Surrender Army proceed?"

Guan Yu clasped his fists at Chen Chu and said, "Report to the lord, this matter is going well. A total of more than 42,000 surrendered soldiers who meet the lord's requirements have been incorporated."

"Are the soldiers, armor, food and fodder in Zhuojun Dacang used enough?" Chen Chu asked again.

"There are nearly 100,000 sets of soldiers and armor, and it is more than enough to arm these surrendered soldiers. In addition, more than one million dan of food and fodder can be used to meet the needs of our army."

Chen Chu nodded, lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then said, "Chang Yun, Fengxian, you two will be responsible for training these surrendered soldiers from today. I hope that within a month, you can transform this army. In addition, I will let the gentlemen who come with the army educate these soldiers ideologically so that they can become qualified soldiers as soon as possible."

"It's the lord. We will definitely not disappoint the lord!" Lu Bu and Guan Yu stepped out of the line and agreed.

"Yide patrols from all directions and must not be slackened."

"Brother, don't worry." Zhang Fei responded carelessly.

In the following days, Chen Chu stationed troops in Zhuo County to train troops, and it seemed that he did not mean to go south to attack the Yellow Turbans.

One day, after the training, Lu Bu said to Guan Yu, "It's better for us to go to a restaurant to drink?" Guan Yu thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Guan Yu and Lu Bu have a good relationship. Guan Yu admired Lu Bu's martial arts, and Lu Bu also looked down on Guan Yu very much. In addition, Lu Bu's arrogant temperament has been much restrained over the past period, so the two got along well.

"Chen Yun, what did you think of the lord's ideological education for soldiers? It seems to be of great effect!" After drinking for a few rounds of wine, Lu Bu opened up the conversation.

Guan Yu raised his head and drank a bowl of wine in one sip, then nodded and said, "That's true. On the first day, the Yellow Turban surrendered troops were so lazy that I severely punished a few of the leaders before getting better. However, a few days later, the mental state of these surrendered troops changed drastically. Many times, they would take the initiative to do extra training, and their morale became very high!"

"I really don't know how the lord did it? Chang Yun, those gentlemen should be in class now. Why don't we go and see how?"

Guan Yu's eyes lit up, "I'm just thinking that way too. Let's go now."

The two of them immediately stood up, left the money on the small table and left.

As soon as they arrived at the place where the soldiers were attending class, the two saw a scene that surprised them. Tens of thousands of soldiers were waving their arms and shouting with the gentleman on the stage: "Swear to be loyal to the lord! Swear to be loyal to the lord!!" The loud voice could make people faint!

Looking at the fanatical expressions on everyone's face, Guan Yu and Lu Bu couldn't help but look at each other. It was unimaginable that they could make the army loyal to such a level.

The two of them were curious, so they squatted down quietly at the last place. They wanted to see what the gentleman on the stage was talking about.

At this moment, several soldiers who noticed Guan Yu and Lu Bu left quietly and went straight to the government office.

When Chen Chu, who was in the government office, heard the news that Guan Yu and Lu Bu had quietly ran to the class, he smiled, a little cunningly.

One hour later, the ideological education ended.

"Chang Yun, what do you think?" Lu Bu asked Guan Yu in a daze.

Guan Yu also looked confused, but he shook his head, then nodded, "I don't know. But I think what the sir said makes sense."

Lu Bu nodded, "Yes. My Huaxia tribe is the best nation in the world, and everything in the world should be controlled by us! Since the two emperors Huanling, foreign tribes have been constantly invading our borders, but the two emperors favored treacherous eunuchs and did not intend to make progress, which really shamed our tribe! The lord was born in response to the heavenly signs and will surely revive the glory of China!" As he spoke, Lu Bu's expression became as excited as those soldiers.

Guan Yu thought more questions. He vaguely felt that the lord's move seemed to have other intentions, but he felt that what his husband said was very reasonable, so his mind was now in a mess and dizzy.

"The clouds are long, why not as good as we are coming tomorrow?"

Guan Yu nodded, "Okay. I don't understand something and I'm about to ask sir."

In this way, the two trained their soldiers in the morning and listened to the class with their soldiers in the afternoon. It continued until Zhang Liao returned from Luoyang.

After Liu Bei left Zhuo County, he returned to the prefect Liu Yan.

"How does Xuande look at the military situation?" Liu Yan asked.

Liu Bei shook his head, "I haven't seen it, so I don't know."

Liu Yan thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry about him. No matter what, they will destroy Cheng Yuanzhi's thief army. If they want to station in Zhuo County, they will let them do it. What is Xuande's plan? You and I are of the same clan and the same clan. I really hope you can stay and help me."

Liu Bei clasped his fists at Liu Yan with a touching face and said, "Thank you for your kindness! But Bei heard that his mentor and the thief Zhang Jiao fought against Yu Guangzong, so he wanted to borrow troops to help his mentor first. After the matter is done, Bei will definitely come back to Youzhou."

Liu Yan nodded, "The relationship between master and disciple is a common practice for people to discuss, how can I not agree with it? I will lend you five thousand soldiers and hope to return quickly after the matter is finished."

Liu Bei was moved and knelt down to thank him.

The next day, Liu Bei led the 5,000 troops borrowed from Liu Yan to Guangzong.

Guangzong was located a hundred miles south of Julu, and his geographical location was 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 Army toward the south and then extermining him.

The armies of both sides met in Guangzong territory. At this time, the forces of both sides were Lu Zhi's Central Army and Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban Army 150,000.

The army of both sides fought several battles over several months. Although Lu Zhi's Han army was far less than Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban Army in terms of number, the combat effectiveness and equipment of the Han army were significantly stronger than that of the Yellow Turban Army. Therefore, after several months, the Han army took the initiative in the battlefield and eventually surrounded the Yellow Turban Army in Guangzong City.

Liu Bei led 5,000 troops to Guangzong day and night. Both the master and the disciple were very happy to meet.

At the same time, in Yingchuan, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao led 200,000 Yellow Turban Army to confront the 80,000 Han Army led by Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun. The Yellow Turban Army suffered a setback in a row and finally retreated to Changshe and formed a camp on the grass.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun took advantage of the night to attack Changshe, but the previous plan was leaked. In the end, not only did he fail to defeat the Yellow Turban Army as he wished, but he lost many troops.

At this point, the armies of both sides entered a stalemate in the Changshe River.

On the other hand, Zhang Liao led 200 cavalry to Luoyang to perform his merits under the order of Chen Chu. As soon as he entered Luoyang, Zhang Liao prepared generous gifts as Chen Chu told him to visit the eunuch Zhang Rang.

The next day, Emperor Ling of Han Xuan Zhang Liao came to the palace to meet.

The eunuch Zhang Rang read a long imperial edict, which was full of praise for Chen Chu. Finally, he said: "..., the county magistrate Chen Chu wiped out the three Yellow Turban Army's 100,000 troops (exaggerated), based on thousands of Yi soldiers. It can be said that his contributions are shocking the world. From Emperor Gaozu, our dynasty has always been rewarded for any contributions. Therefore, he specially named Chen Chu as the former general and was awarded the title of Marquis of Baimating, and four generals under the former general were appointed as the lieutenant, and he was still under the command of the former general. I hereby decree this."

Zhang Liao quickly kowtowed and thanked him for accepting the imperial edict. At this time, Zhang Liao was a little dizzy. He could not have imagined that the imperial court's reward was so thick. Zhang Liao was not a fool, and he immediately thought that this must have been a heavy gift given to Zhang Rang.

Zhang Liao couldn't help but look up at the eunuch Zhang Rang beside the emperor. Zhang Rang also happened to look at Zhang Liao at this time, and a smile of meaning flashed in Zhang Rang's eyes.

At this time, Emperor Ling of Han spoke, "Prince Zhang, I don't know when the former general will be able to march south? I can wait for him to make new contributions!" Speaking of this, Emperor Ling of Han sighed again and said, "Oh! The three veterans who hate me are not worthy of their reputation, and they hold the main force of our Han army but have not made any contributions!"

Zhang Liao knelt on His Highness and replied: "Report to Your Majesty, because of the fierce battles before, our army suffered a great loss, so our general temporarily stationed troops in Zhuo County to repair them. As long as our army recovers, we will immediately rush our army to the south."

Emperor Ling of Han nodded happily, "Okay! I'm waiting for your good news! I hope your general will not let me down!"

At this moment, the eunuch Zhang Rang whispered in the ear of Emperor Ling of Han. Emperor Ling of Han nodded immediately, with a happy expression on his face.

A moment later, Emperor Ling of Han sings, "Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, people in the world have been in panic. Fortunately, God blessed our great Han Dynasty. Former General Chen Chu defeated 100,000 Yellow Turban Thieves in Zhuo County, which shocked the power of heaven. I decided to post a list to celebrate to calm the hearts of the people in the world. What do you think?"

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

When Zhang Liao kowtowed and thanked him, he glanced at Zhang Rang beside the emperor. Zhang Rang shook at him, as if he wanted to take credit.

Zhang Liao knew in his heart that Zhang Rang was hinting at him to seek benefits.

After the court was dispersed, Zhang Liao returned to the inn to wait. Another day later, the eunuch Zhang Rang personally sent the official seal sword.

Zhang Liao immediately held a banquet to entertain Zhang Rang. During the meal, Zhang Liao took out another two thousand gold to Zhang Rang. Zhang Rang did not postpone it, and immediately ordered the eunuch to accept it.

After receiving the official seal, Zhang Liao's mission to Luoyang was successfully completed. On the same day, Zhang Liao led his subordinates back to Zhuo County.
