February 185 AD.

Zhou Cheng led the moth thieves to continue northward, with no intention of stopping.

After Zhang Wen chased for a month, he finally stopped chasing.

Zhang Wen finally understood that Zhou Cheng, a moth thief, had no intention of fighting him head-on.

The endless pursuit exhausted the entire army, and being far away from their homeland, the morale of the army and horses was low.

Later, Zhang Wen announced that the moth thieves fled in the direction of Ding Ling, but Zhang Wen lacked enough cavalry to effectively stop him.

The Dingling people, also known as Gaoche, Dili and Tiele, live in Lake Baikal.

Suwu Sheep Shepherd is located near Lake Baikal.

In 200 BC, the Dingling people were conquered by the Xiongnu. Later, the Huns split. The Dingling people joined forces with Wusun, Wuhuan and others to drive away the Huns.

The Dingling people made a living by hunting, fishing, and nomadic herding. After the Xiongnu left, they also tried to go south to obtain more fertile pastures, so they had conflicts with the Xianbei people.

Zhang Wen mentioned in his report that Zhou Cheng and other moth thieves are now in the forces of Dingling, Xianbei, Wuhuan, etc., and they will inevitably be attacked by the Xianbei, Dingling, and Wuhuan people.

As long as the imperial court sends envoys, it can easily prevent the moth thieves from gaining a foothold in the grassland and eventually collapse.

After Zhang Wen's report, he galloped towards Luoyang.

However, as soon as Zhang Wen's report arrived in Luoyang, there was already a quarrel in the Luoyang court.

Zhao Zhong said in a high-pitched voice:"Your Majesty, Huangfu Yizhen was stationed in Liangzhou. He fought in vain and spent countless money and food. On the other hand, the rebel forces are getting stronger and stronger. Huangfu Yizhen cannot escape the blame."

Liu Hong looked at Zhao. Zhong, before He Jin and others could speak, Zhang Rang said again:"Your Majesty, the rebel forces are getting bigger and bigger, and they need to change their generals as soon as possible without delay."

When Huangfu Song conquered Zhang Jiao, he passed through Yedi and found the residence of Zhao Zhong, the Changshi. If it exceeds the limit, it will be confiscated by the emperor.

However, Zhang Rang, the aide of Zhongchang, asked him for 50 million yuan, but he refused to give it.

Therefore, Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang joined forces to slander Liu Hongjin and demanded severe punishment for Huangfu Song.

However, ministers such as He Jin, Yuan Wei and others wanted to speak for Huangpu Song, but it was a fact that Huangpu Song fought for a long time without success.

Lu Zhi was also recalled to Luoyang for questioning because of his failure in defeating the moth thieves.

Therefore, it was of no use for the ministers to plead for Huangfu Song.

Liu Hong said:"Zhao Huangpu Yizhen returned to Luoyang, took back the seal and ribbon of General Zuo Chaqi, cut off 6,000 feudal households, changed the title to Duxianghou, and granted 2,000 households in the city."

Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang were both proud. Looking at He Jin and others.

He Jin was just a butcher, relying on his status as a relative to become a general. He was a typical unworthy person.

After He Jin became the general, he became close to the scholar-bureaucrats and opposed the eunuchs everywhere. Therefore, He Jin had great conflicts with Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others.

Liu Hong saw all this, but he hated the scholar-bureaucrats even more, so he still dealt with even famous generals like Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song.

Coincidentally, Zhang Wen's report also arrived in Luoyang.

Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang accepted Zhang Wen's money. Therefore, although Zhang Wen did not clear out the moth thieves, it was considered a great achievement to expel the moth thieves to the grassland.

"Your Majesty, we should send generals of chariots and cavalry to take over Liangzhou to quell the rebellion."

"Your Majesty, if the chariot generals command the newly defeated Southern Army, they can make the moth thieves flee. If they command the Northern Army, they will definitely defeat the Liangzhou barbarians."

Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong suggested at the same time.

Moth thieves, Xianbei, and Xiongnu are not threats in the eyes of eunuchs. What really matters to eunuchs is the class of scholar-officials.

Huangfu Song is obviously a role model for scholar-officials. If they are severely punished, Huangfu Song, that was the biggest blow to the scholar-bureaucrat class.

Liu Hong yawned and said listlessly:"Zhunzou""

……

Huangfu Song was recalled to Luoyang, and his left chariot and riding seal ribbon was recovered.

Zhang Wen was also transferred to Liangzhou, Han Fu led his army back to Jizhou, and Liu Yu led his army back to Youzhou.

Zhang Yang, Zhang Chao, Wang Gong and others also led their troops back.

Liu Bei had nowhere to go and no success, so he had to go to Youzhou to find Gongsun Zan and defected to Gongsun Zan.

When Zhou Cheng learned that Zhang Wen was transferred to Liangzhou and the coalition forces from various states returned to Youzhou, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Cheng ordered:"Send the order and camp on the same spot. At the same time, eat for three days and take a good rest.""

"Here!"

Zhao Chen, Zhao Yuan and others finally feel at ease. If

Zhang Wen doesn't leave for a day, they will be in fear every day.

Although Zhou Cheng's guerrilla warfare is going very smoothly and has successfully lengthened Zhang Wen's supply line, Zhang Wen's army is really powerful.

The Qingqi Battalion has been monitoring the army's food route and has never found a flaw.

If the army does not withdraw, the moth thieves will definitely run out of food first.

Zhen Xian reminded:"Lord, we are close to the area where Ding Ling people are active, so we need to be careful."

The Ding Ling people are brave and good at fighting, and even the Xianbei people dare not look down on them.

The Moth Thief is currently located between Xianbei and Ding Ling, and is vulnerable to attacks from both sides.

Zhou Cheng said:"Wen Qian, you are wrong."

Zhen Xian frowned in confusion.

Zhou Cheng said:"Since we are here, everything here belongs to us. It is Ding Ling who should be careful."

If he can't defeat the elite Northern Army, can he still defeat the nomads?

Zhou Cheng doesn't mind adding Lake Baikal to his territory.
