In the middle of the month in Yuzhou, under the pursuit of the Huangfu Song tribe, some Yuzhou Yellow Turbans gathered and fled westward.

At that time, the Yellow Turban Yang Feng used the excuse that the Tiangong General Jizhou defeated Lu Zhi's army, and used Lu Zhi's being escorted back to Luo as evidence. They gathered and coerced them. Eventually, there were more than ten thousand Yellow Turbans, named "Pioneers Entering Luo". They came to Hulao and wanted to fight. Force Luoyang and overthrow the imperial family of the Han Dynasty.

At this time, the Yellow Turbans in Yuzhou could not be said to be crazy. The Yellow Turbans rose up to show their power, broke down fortresses, attacked cities, and plundered the countryside. Their experiences made them initially adapt to war and killing.

When Huangfu Song's entire army was mobilized, their attitude towards the Yellow Turbans could not be described as violent. Many in the army regarded the Yellow Turbans as equal to their military exploits.

Among the generals of the late Han Dynasty, the fighting style led by Huangfu Song was probably the most violent.

Huangfu Song Shanzheng often fought with foreign tribes under his command, often fighting endless wars.

In contrast, even though Zhu Jun and Lu Zhi were good at encirclement and suppression, when uniting the army in battle, they treated the enemy much more harmoniously than Huangfu Song.

Faced with the killings by the government and the army, coupled with some deliberate propaganda from within the Yellow Turbans, among the more than 10,000 Yellow Turbans, there were many who were determined to die, and among them there were more than 6,000 who could fight.

Afraid of being suppressed and killed, the fear in their hearts allowed them to destroy villages and huts along the way. Those who did not join the Yellow Turban, the old, weak, women and children were also the lackeys of the rotten man.

When more than 10,000 Yellow Turbans finally arrived near Hulao, the number was close to 20,000. Faced with the sky-shattering cry of death, Changshui rode out from under Hulao City.

Many of these Changshui Cavalry had their hometowns destroyed and their tribesmen died at the hands of the Yellow Turbans. Facing the Yellow Turbans, these Changshui Cavalry showed a more crazy offensive than the Yellow Turbans.

The Eastern Han Dynasty had been recuperating for many years, and most of the five battalions of the Northern Army maintained the minimum organizational structure. In addition, in the early years, Liu Hong was careful about military food and pay. The number of 'professional' forbidden troops stationed in military camps all year round was actually not large. If such a forbidden army encountered a war, most of them would be A general in the army.

In addition, more soldiers maintain their military status by stationing troops, producing and training in peacetime, and only taking orders in wartime.

It is somewhat similar to the farming in the future, and the earliest days of Emperor Wu in the Western Regions, but production and labor did not have the centralized organization of later generations, and the emphasis on military training was much heavier than that of later generations.

This is the so-called military settlement reclamation, with the military as the first priority.

Most of the soldiers in the Changshui camp were from powerful families, and the Changshui cavalry who were ordered to send troops this time by Liu Hong may have been forced to pull out 5,000 cavalry troops in a short period of time because many people in their hometown had been destroyed.

He has a camp in Changshui, wields a machete, likes riding and shooting, and is good at traveling and killing.

Dozens of miles in front of Hulao Pass, the Changshui cavalry raided the Yellow Turbans on the bank of the Yellow River. They shot and killed the enemy, and they hunted and suppressed them. They broke the formation in the first battle, but the battle of ten thousand people lasted for nearly an hour, and nearly two Thousands of Yellow Turbans, but in the end less than a thousand prisoners were taken.

As soon as this battle broke out, the Changshui battalion was as violent as the Huangfu Song tribe. The Yellow Turbans in Yuzhou fled in panic, heading north to Hebei and east to Yanzhou. However, the Yellow Turbans had no intention of heading west to Luoyang.

When the battle report came, Liu Cang, who had also just wiped out a small group of Yellow Turbans, fell silent.

For a moment, he held his halberd and laughed, Liu Cang laughed at himself: The troubled times have come, and indeed those delicate emotions are all a joke. The Han people, the remnants, are all Han people. Now that they are in the Yellow Turbans, they are just thieves.

Zhang Jiao, he suffered a big death. And these Yellow Turbans, starting from the time they invaded those rural villages with which they had no contact at all, suffered a big death.

Regarding the Yellow Turbans, Liu Cang rarely took prisoners because he had bad intentions in his heart.

As for Huangfu Song, he was probably just begging for thieves in the way he was accustomed to. Compared with the powerful locals whose families had thousands of hectares of fertile land and were eventually wiped out by the Yellow Turbans, Huangfu Song actually didn't have much of a problem with these Yellow Turban rebels.

The Yellow Turbans in Yuzhou, which had been causing quite a stir for a while, were defeated. Three Yuzhou cities were destroyed, and more than 130 Wubao villages were destroyed. Huangfu Song tribe wiped out countless enemies, and finally took the Yellow Turbans and captured 14,532 people.

Reported to the imperial court, the Yellow Turban captives were made into slaves and distributed throughout counties and counties in Yuzhou to rebuild the damaged areas in Yuzhou. Their subsequent fate is unknown.

After the battle in Yuzhou, Huangfu Song's troops gathered with Chen Liu, and Dian Wei returned to his hometown with Liu Cang's leadership. Although Dian Wei no longer had any worries in his hometown, he was no longer a fugitive at this time. He crossed the market on horseback and felt comfortable in his heart.

.

Chen Liu gathered his troops, marched to Dingtao, passed through Jiyin, and the army approached the east county of Yanzhou.

Here the Yellow Turbans gathered troops to establish a stronghold, and the Shanyang livestock herding clan was rebelled by the locals and were killed by the Yellow Turbans. As a result, the Yellow Turbans gathered more than 2,000 cavalry here, and the thieves' arrogance revived.

The troops arrived at Dongjun, and the city of Dongjun was safe.

The Yellow Turban generals here have predicted that they have more than 10,000 troops. Although they have 2,000 cavalry, their siege power is lacking.

Probably because they were worried about losing their troops in a long war, the Yellow Turbans did not capture the county town. Instead, they went north to the water, using the Yellow River system as a barrier, and settled camp on the river bank.

When the army arrived in Dongjun, many people in the county wanted to join the army in attacking the Yellow Turbans. However, they said that they had taken over Dongjun and did not destroy the villages. Instead, they used the power of the cavalry to force everyone to hand over grain, grass and iron weapons.

Bu had intended to gather the Yanzhou Yellow Turbans to preserve their military strength and search for resources, but he also aroused the fear and disgust of many people in Dongjun.

After resting for a day at the foot of the county city, Huangfu Song led his army out again and went north along the river, finally meeting Bu Ji Huangjin across the river at a place on the river bank.

This place is a tributary of the Yellow River, and to the southwest is Pingqiu Wuchao. Although the river is only a few dozen feet wide, it is quite deep and it is difficult for soldiers to cross the river.

On the other side of the river, the Yellow Turban cavalry stood a hundred meters away from the river bank with rifles in hand. There were also archers and spears, ready to attack the officers and soldiers crossing the river.

The troops are arrayed and the generals are gathered.

"Who can be the pioneer to cross the river?" Hearing the slogan "Cangtian is dead" on the other side, Huangfu Song looked to the other side and saw that there were many horses and debris on the other side of the river. He couldn't help but frown and asked the generals around him.

"General, the last general is about to leave!" Several shouts came out, and the speakers couldn't help but stare at each other.

Liu Cang, riding a war horse and carrying an iron bow, had the most indifferent expression among the others.

Cao Cao, with a righteous and serious face, originally glared at Liu Cang, but when Liu Cang glanced at him, he curled his lips and turned to glare at others.

Guo Dian, wearing copper-plated general armor, was as golden as a saint. This guy was originally the governor of Julu. Earlier, Dong Zhuo failed to attack Zhangjiao. The court reprimanded this guy. Dong Zhuo pulled him out to top the cylinder and was dismissed.

, so angry that he came to hang out with Huangfu Song.

Zhang Miao, a Wen Guan general in armor, was only one taller and stronger than Cao Cao among the four. He carried a long bow and threw thousands of men into Huangfu Song's army. He was just like Wang Fen, who was betrayed by Liu Hong in the early years and came back to life. He was one of the eight chefs and a famous scholar.

Come.

The four of them were now under Huangfu Song, and they were all determined to cross the river to seize the first victory. Although the opposite side was dangerous, the general's meritorious service was to kill him. The four of them stared at each other, but in the end they became the rivals between Cao Cao and Guo Dian.

During this period, Cao Cao and Zhang Miao became very familiar with each other, and their eyes seemed to have a tacit understanding.

Guo Dian is different. This guy was fooled by Dong Zhuo. He held back his resentment and wanted to show off his power on the battlefield and wash away the stigma of being a weak fighter given by Dong Zhuo.

As for Liu Cang, the three of them had a tacit understanding not to glare at him. This kid is very tough, so if possible, try not to provoke him.

Moreover, Liu Cang of Yuzhou conquered more than 30 places where the Yellow Turbans gathered troops, which was a great achievement.

In addition to plundering the people, the most important thing for the Yellow Turbans here in Yanzhou is to kill badgers all over the mountains and plains, saying that they are used as military rations, but who wouldn't know that Liu Cang's badger name Liu Cang caused trouble?
