Zhou Yuanfu was shocked when he heard this. Before he could answer, Tian Feng asked: "Let me ask you, how many troops do you have now?"
"At present, the remaining soldiers of the Yellow Turban Lishi Battalion are under my command. There are hundreds of them. The defeated troops gathered along the road by Yuan Shao and Yuan Zhi also left one or two thousand..."
Tian Feng heard this and sneered: "You want to save Zhang Bao with just a few people? This is just a moth flying into the flame and only increasing casualties."
Zhou Yuanfu was about to argue, but Tian Feng waved his hand.
"Listen to what I have to say. Do you know what Zhang Bao meant when he sent you to bury Zhang Jiao? Qing's father is still alive and the disaster is over! As far as the court is concerned, Zhang Jiao's three brothers are Qing's father. If these three brothers are not dead, the imperial army will
The Yellow Turban Army's suppression will not let up, so Zhang Bao must die! Not only can you not save Zhang Bao, you can't take care of the remaining Yellow Turban Army everywhere. These are all abandoned. In order to save your chance of survival, old man Zhang Jiao,
He has already regarded all the Yellow Turbans in the world as outcasts."
Zhou Yuanfu was extremely shocked. According to his idea, at least he could keep the Yellow Turban army of 100,000 men, and use this as a foundation to occupy Jizhou, Xutuyouzhou, and then Zhuolu Central Plains.
According to what Tian Feng said, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Jizhou were burned together with the official army, just to fight for this glimmer of life for Zhou Yuanfu. Treating the Yellow Turban Army as an abandoned son, just to revitalize his own son, this corner really spent a lot of money
.Are Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao both lunatics? This is a big gamble, right? Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are thrown into it. The advantage is that the court may feel at ease and relax the pursuit of themselves. The disadvantage is that they don’t even have the capital to stand up.
.I also thought about Zhang Bao driving me out. It seemed that he had already made up his mind to die. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but get red eyes.
Tian Feng saw that Zhou Yuanfu didn't speak for a long time, so he continued to ask: "Can you agree to the third condition? If you can agree, I will go around with you in the world. If..."
"Uncle Tian is a great talent! If Uncle Tian helps me, even if my great cause fails, I can avoid a lot of detours. But Zhang Bao was my master, and there are hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban brothers there. I, Zhou Yuanfu, came here by chance, and I know that one day
A teacher is a father for life, so I can't just sit back and do nothing. Whenever there is a chance of survival, I will give it a try, so this third point..."
"Brother, Brother, something's wrong. The city of Quyang has fallen!" Pei Yuanshao rushed in hurriedly.
"When did this happen?"
"The city was captured the day after we left! Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song led their troops to besiege the city. That night General Digong summoned the generals and agreed to a decisive battle on the next day. After everyone left, Yan Zheng left and returned. This dog
The thieves took advantage of the general's unpreparedness and suddenly attacked... After taking the head of the Digong general, Yan Zheng ordered his people to open the city and surrender. When the generals saw that the general was dead, they dispersed without fighting. Seventy-eight out of ten of them fled.
The captured people and the people in the city were massacred by Huangfu Song's thieves... by Huangfu Song's thieves! The heads were really made into a Beijing temple, with hundreds of thousands of heads!"
Zhou Yuanfu suddenly sat down on the ground. How could Zhang Bao be unprepared? He reminded him that he must have intended to die, so he was willing to be killed. Thinking of this, Zhou Yuanfu also shed tears.
"By the way, the messenger also brought a handwritten letter from General Digong."
Without Zhou Yuanfu's instructions, Pei Yuanshao called the messenger to come in.
When the messenger entered the house and saw Zhou Yuanfu, he bowed, "Disciple Xu Huang pays homage to General Lei Gong!"
Xu Huang? General Lei Gong? Zhou Yuanfu was confused again. Wasn't Xu Huang one of the five good generals under Cao Cao? He only knew that this person was Zhang Bao's personal guard and was very brave in battle, but he never asked this person's name.
It turns out that Xu Huang, before following Cao Cao, followed Yang Feng to participate in the Baibo Army uprising, which was another uprising launched by the remnants of the Yellow Turbans four years later. Later, Yang Feng was defeated by Cao Cao and went to Yuan Shu, while Xu Huang chose to join Yuan Shu at that time.
He defected to Cao Cao.
Xu Huang saw Zhou Yuanfu in a daze and thought he was dazed because of the title of General Lei Gong, "General Di Gong has named you General Lei Gong and sent people to inform the Yellow Turban Army in all directions. Before he was killed, the general left a letter instructing us to destroy the city.
Then be sure to hand it over to the general with your own hands."
After saying that, he took out the book and presented it to him.
Zhou Yuanfu silently took the letter, and after opening it, he saw that the writing style was rough and powerful, and the writing was quick and easy:
Beloved disciple Zhou Cang: The imperial court will feel at ease when I die! The core members of Taiping Dao are registered, you can use them to help me. The road ahead is long, I really want to see a world where everyone can have enough food and clothing, this is Zhang Bao's last word.
Accompanying the letter was a small booklet written in silk. Zhou Yuanfu did not have time to look at it carefully and hurriedly stuffed it into his arms.
Looking at Xu Huang still standing like a javelin, Zhou Yuanfu shouted in his heart that he is indeed a hero, "General Xu, please follow me. That day on the city top, I was deeply impressed by the bravery of Xu Guard."
Xu Huang bowed and responded: "General Di Gong gave me the cousin name Yuan Ming. I think he also hopes that I can follow the general."
"That's great. Are you willing to become brothers with us?"
"It's my wish, but I dare not invite you!"
Zhou Yuanfu was so happy that he finally got another general without any effort!
…
Let us also say that when Liu Bei heard that Xiaquyang had been captured, he couldn't help but be happy. He persuaded Zhang Fei to ride fast horses to Xiaquyang to look for Guan Yu. When he encountered defeated soldiers along the way, he asked about it and found out that Guan Yu had defected to Zhou Yuanfu and treated him like a brother.
Zhang Fei was so angry that he cursed loudly, and Liu Bei sighed and said: "Second brother must have some unavoidable reasons. We can find out when we meet again in the future."
Zhang Fei just said that Liu Bei was deceived by Guan Yu and did not realize Guan Yu's ambition.
Liu Bei said that Liu Hui, the prefect of the county, was familiar with him. The two of them went to join Liu Hui and make plans later. Zhang Fei had no choice but to follow.
…
The three Zhang Jiao brothers died one after another, and most of the main Yellow Turban forces were wiped out. Only the Wancheng area was left with the Yellow Turban army that had not been wiped out, but it was only the grasshoppers after the autumn that could not roam around for long.
Huangfu Song sent Fu Xie to Luoyang to meet the emperor and report in detail the process of suppressing the bandits. Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty was very happy after hearing this. On the one hand, he ordered people to draw pictures and award rewards, and ordered all counties to arrest the remnants of the Yellow Turbans. On the other hand, he planned to give out large rewards.
The civil servants and military generals who made meritorious service this time.
Fu Xie responded reasonably and vividly described the process of suppressing the bandits. Moreover, he was handsome, handsome and bookish, so he was considered to be a versatile man in both civil and military affairs.
Han Emperor Liu Hong was also quite satisfied with Fu Xie, so he kindly asked, "Where is Fu Sima from?"
Fu Xie was neither humble nor arrogant. When the emperor asked questions, he answered calmly and calmly, "I am from Lingzhou, Beidi County, and my ancestor is the Marquis of Yiyang."
Han Emperor Liu Hongzhi immediately became interested when he heard about it, "Oh, but Fu Jiezi, who killed King Loulan and pacified the Western Regions during Emperor Zhao's reign?"
Fu Xie saluted and said: "Exactly!"
During the reign of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, King Loulan once defied the odds and secretly turned to the Huns to kill the Han Dynasty envoys. Fu Jiezi led some followers to lure King Loulan with money, and killed him and established the prince who was pro-Han as king. This prevented the rebellion in the Western Regions and made great achievements.
He was granted the title of Marquis of Yiyang.
Liu Hong was even more happy after seeing that he was a loyal minister, and his interest in the conversation became much higher. He nodded frequently when he heard the words.
"Very good, very good. Fu Sima should follow the example of his ancestors and help the Han Dynasty to stabilize the country."
The words are quite encouraging.
Most people were excited to express their loyalty when they saw the emperor's appreciation. Fu Xie looked calm when he heard this, "It is the duty of a humble minister, and it is my duty to do so."
When Liu Hong saw him, he realized that this man was indeed a gentleman, not a villain who wanted to follow the crowd, and he was even more satisfied.
"Fu Sima has also made great achievements in suppressing bandits this time. General Huangfu also highly praised you in his petition for merit. I have always been generous with rewards for meritorious ministers. What official position do you want?"
After hearing this, Fu Xie fell to his knees and said righteously: "I don't ask for rewards. I can only give you one word. If your majesty can listen to the few words I have said, I will be willing to be burned like Bigan!"
