Liu Bei hugged his fist at Liu Yan with a touched face and said, "Thank you for your love!" However, I heard that the teacher and the thief fought in Guangzong for the first time, so I wanted to borrow troops to help the teacher first. After the work is over, be sure to come back to Youzhou.

Liu Yan nodded, "The relationship between master and apprentice is a common thing, how can I not allow it." I will lend you 5,000 soldiers, and I hope that I will return as soon as I am done.

Liu Bei was moved in his heart and knelt down to thank him.

On the second day, Liu Bei led 5,000 soldiers borrowed from Liu Yan to Guangzong.

Guangzong is located a hundred miles south of Julu, and its geographical location is 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's army to the south and then exterminating him.

The armies of the two sides met at the border of Guangzong. At this time, the strength of the two sides was 50,000 for Lu Zhi's Central Army and 150,000 for Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban Army.

Although Lu Zhi's Han army was far inferior in numbers to Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban Army, the Han Army's combat effectiveness and equipment were significantly stronger than the Yellow Turban Army. Therefore, after a few months, the Han army instead held the initiative on the battlefield, and finally surrounded the Yellow Turban Army in Guangzong City.

Liu Bei led 5,000 men and horses to Guangzong day and night. The master and apprentice were overjoyed to see each other.

At the same time, in Yingchuan, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao led 200,000 Yellow Turban troops against the 80,000 Han army led by Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun. The Yellow Turban Army suffered setbacks in successive battles, and finally retreated to Changshe and camped according to the grass.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun attacked Changshe by night with a fire attack, but the plan was leaked in advance, and in the end, not only failed to defeat the Yellow Turban Army as expected, but lost a lot of people.

At this point, the armies of the two sides entered a stalemate stage at Changshe.

On the other side, Zhang Liao led two hundred horsemen to Luoyang on the order of Chen Chu to make contributions. As soon as he entered Luoyang, Zhang Liao went to visit the great eunuch Zhang Rang with generous gifts according to Chen Chu's instructions.

The next day, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty announced that Zhang Liao had entered the Hajj.

The great eunuch Zhang Rang read out a long edict, which was full of words of praise for Chen Chu. Finally, he said: "..., the county order Chen Chu only relied on thousands of volunteers to completely annihilate the three Yellow Turban rebel army Cheng Yuanzhi Department 100,000 people (exaggerated), it can be described as a meritorious shock, I have always been rewarded for meritorious service from the Gaozu down, so Chen Chu was specially named the former general and added the title of White Horse Pavilion Marquis, and named the former general's four generals as captains, still under the command of the former general. Chin this.

Zhang Liao hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him for receiving the holy decree. At this time, Zhang Liao was a little dizzy, he couldn't imagine that the reward of the imperial court was so generous. Zhang Liao was not a fool, he immediately thought that this must be a heavy gift to Zhang Rang that had played a role.

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

At this time, Emperor Han Ling spoke, "Captain Zhang, I wonder when the former general will be able to move his army south?" I'm waiting for him to make new contributions! Speaking of this, Emperor Han Ling sighed again and said, "Alas! The hateful three veterans are not worthy of their names, holding the main force of our Han army but not making an inch!

Zhang Liao knelt down with His Royal Highness and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, due to the previous fierce battles, our army has suffered a lot of losses, so our general is temporarily stationed in Zhuojun for repair. As soon as our army relieves itself, it will immediately move south.

Emperor Han Ling nodded happily, "Okay! I am waiting for your good news! I hope your general won't let me down!

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

After a while, Emperor Ling of Han raised his voice and said: "Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the people of the world have panicked, but fortunately, God bless my Han, the former general Chen Chu destroyed the Yellow Turban thief army of 100,000 people in a battle in Zhuo County, which made Tianwei tremble. I decided to celebrate with a bangbang to appease the hearts of the people of the world. What do you think? "

That's a good thing, there's no reason to object. So His Royal 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, and Zhang Rang squeezed his eyes at him, which seemed to have the meaning of inviting merit.

Zhang Liao knew in his heart that Zhang Rang was hinting at asking him for benefits.

After the dispersal, Zhang Liao returned to the post house to wait. Another day passed, and the great eunuch Zhang Rang personally sent the official seal sword.

Zhang Liao immediately set up a banquet to entertain Zhang Rang, and during the banquet, Zhang Liao took out another 2,000 gold and gave it to Zhang Rang. Zhang Rang did not postpone it, and immediately ordered the little eunuch to accept it.

After getting 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.

As soon as the emperor list came out, the people of Luoyang suddenly burst into joy.

Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the people have been in constant fear. In the minds of the vast majority of people, the Yellow Turban Rebellion is as terrible as the evil ghosts of hell, and all kinds of rumors about the Yellow Turban Rebellion make the people creepy. The people feared that these demons would break into their homes. Therefore, everyone was eager for the news of the victory of the Han Dynasty, but it backfired, and the main force of the Han army was unable to hold on to the Yellow Turban Army in Guangzong and Yingchuan, and failed to defeat the Yellow Turban Army for a long time. During this time, a deep melancholy could be seen on everyone's face, everyone was reluctant to talk more and was unwilling to go out, and the entire Luoyang City looked a lot bleak.

However, at this moment, Chen Chu and his Tiger Roaring Army came out. In Zhuo County, Chen Chu wiped out the 100,000 Yellow Turban Army with 5,000 Tiger Roaring Army in one battle, cutting off one of the three main forces of the Yellow Turban Army. This victory finally relieved the worried people. Chen Chu's name also became a household name in a very short period of time, and many young people worshipped him as a hero.

"Miss, this former general must be very heroic, right?" A beautiful girl dressed as a maid in Luoyang Cai's Mansion asked her young lady with a look of admiration.

The young lady was sitting gracefully on the edge of the lotus pond. I saw that she was wearing a fairy cloud bun on her head, a golden phoenix hairpin inserted horizontally, and she was wearing a light green palace dress, and the whole person looked graceful and moving; Look at her face again, her complexion is as white as jade, her eyebrows are like distant eyes, and her small red lips make people feel excited; Her temperament is different from that of ordinary women, giving people a very intellectual feeling. This is really a rare and stunning beauty!

The young lady turned her head to look at the maid and laughed, "What's wrong?" Could it be that my little jade is moved? The

maid's face turned red and she lowered her head, "No." Besides, Xiaoyu's identity is worthy of him as a big hero! If you want Xiaoyu to say, Miss and the former general are a good match! The

young lady frowned slightly, and then said: "This person is just a horseman, I'm afraid he can't even do poetry!" There was a faint hint of contempt for Chen Chu in his tone.

The impact of Chen Chu's victory in this battle is very great. Not only did the people know Chen Chu's name, but even the Quartet heroes and heroes also noticed Chen Chu.

In Chenliu, one of them had already pulled up a group of 20,000 men and horses to prepare to go south to defeat the Yellow Turbans. This person is Cao Cao, the official worships the chariot and rides the captain. From the beginning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Cao Cao returned to his hometown to recruit troops, and thanks to the help of the Wei family, coupled with the influence of the Cao family and the Xiahou clan in Qian County and Chen Liu, Cao Cao soon raised a force of 20,000 men. The generals who came over after hearing the news include Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Lu Qian, Xu Chu, Li Dian, Le Jin, and Yu Ban Nine Generals, and the strategists are Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu, etc. (Due to the needs of the plot, let these people follow Cao Cao in advance)

"Fengxiao, what do you think of this former general?" When he heard the news of Chen Chu's victory in Zhuo County, Cao Cao asked Guo Jia beside him.

Guo Jia shook his head, "I haven't seen this person, so I don't dare to draw conclusions." However, since he was able to defeat the 100,000 Yellow Turban Army with 5,000, he must have been an extraordinary person!

Cao Cao nodded, "What Feng Xiao said is extremely true. Then he sighed: "I really underestimate the heroes of the world!" The

next day, Cao Cao led 20,000 troops and horses to the south, and more than ten days later, he joined the main force of the Han army with Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun under the city of Changshe.

For Cao Cao's arrival, Huangfu Song Zhu Jun was very happy.

On the other side, after more than a month, Zhang Liao finally returned to Zhuojun. Chen Chu led three generals and thousands of soldiers out of the city to greet him.

"Big brother, little brother is fortunate not to be dishonored." Zhang Liao bowed down in front of Chen Chu, holding a holy decree in both hands. At this time, Chen Chu, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, and Lu Bu already knew about the imperial court's reward.

Chen Chu took the holy decree and handed it to the guards beside him without looking at it, and then helped Zhang Liao up, "Wenyuan has worked hard!" Let's go back to the city for a drink! Celebrate today! As he

spoke, he took Zhang Liao's arm and walked towards Zhuojun City.

On the same day, Chen Chu arranged a banquet at the official office and drank bitterly with the two brothers and Guan Yu and Zhang Liao. Of course, Chen Chu did not forget his corporaries, and he also prepared a large amount of wine and meat to reward the three armies.

The next day, Chen Chu waved his army south. Along the way, the banner exhibition momentum is like a rainbow. The scene at this time is very different from when I left Leping. At this time, Chen Chu's army had expanded to 60,000 (in addition to more than 40,000 yellow turban soldiers, Chen Chu also asked Guan Yu to recruit a lot of horses in Zhuo County), 60,000 horses walked on the official road, that scene was really spectacular! In addition, Chen Chu's current identity is very different, and the former general's battle flag at the head has added a bit of majestic momentum.

At present, Chen Chu's army can be divided into two parts, one is 5,000 cavalry of the Howling Battalion (the loss was later made up in Zhuojun), and the other part is 45,000 foot soldiers mainly of the Yellow Turban Army, this part is called the Youzhou Army.

Chen Chu commanded four generals, Lu Bu led the Tiger Roaring Army, and Zhang Liao, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu each led 15,000 Youzhou troops. Originally, Chen Chu would not let Lu Bu command the most elite Tiger Roaring Army, but during this period of time, Lu Bu has undergone radical changes. Although Lu Bu was still very arrogant, he had become extremely respectful in front of Chen Chu. Lu Bu is no longer like the Lu Bu in Chen Chu's memory, he already has faith in his heart, and this belief makes him truly loyal to one person, this person is Chen Chu.

Chen Chu's army went all the way south, but before it reached the Julu realm, a not very good news reached Chen Chu's hands.

It turned out that Lu Zhi was framed for not agreeing to Huangmen Zuofeng's request for bribes. Lu Zhi escorted him to Beijing, and Dong Zhuo was sent over in place of Lu Zhi.

Dong Zhuo finally appeared!
