A touch of sandalwood overflowed into the air from the incense burner, and the whole study was filled with a faint aroma. Behind the carved bookcase, Zang Hong held a bamboo slip and read it carefully. Chen Mo knelt down by the window and was lost in thought.

It had been three days since Zhou Yuan was sent away. Chen Mo still remembered the hunched back of Mr. Gao Wang when he left three days ago, as if he had aged ten years in one day.

According to the law, the slaughterhouse is undoubtedly a serious crime, but for some reason, after Zhou Yuan was arrested, Chen Mo didn't feel as happy as he did after solving the case. Instead, he felt like something was weighing on his heart in the past three days.

feel bad.

"It's been three days." After a long time, Zang Hong put down the bamboo slips, looked at the scenery outside the window, and suddenly laughed: "Still can't figure it out?"

"Teacher, I'm wondering if Zhou Yuan was wrong?" Chen Mo asked.

"What do you think?" Zang Hong looked at Chen Mo and asked.

"Nowadays, everyone in the streets is saying that Zhou Yuan should be killed, but if we really look into it, shouldn't the root cause of this matter be that Liang Huan? Chen Mo asked."

"It's true that they deserved to be killed. Thousands of people died. Before the Yellow Turban Bandits arose, this massacre could shock the world." Zang Hong nodded.

"The teacher also thinks he is wrong?" Chen Mo looked at Zang Hong.

"Yes, but guilty." Zang Hong shook his head.

"But everyone said that he went too far. He just wanted to kill the first culprit. Why bother?" Chen Mo expressed everyone's point of view. He was a man of profit. From the young masters of aristocratic families to those from all walks of life, he would make friends with traffickers and lackeys. So the news

It came quickly.

"You just need to think about it, what would you do if you were replaced by Zhou Yuan?" Zang Hong asked.

"Me?" Chen Mo closed his eyes and thought carefully. If he were in that kind of environment, someone would dare to come and smash up his home and beat his mother...

Opening his eyes, Chen Mo's eyes were a little red: "Maybe it's even more intense than him!"

As for how intense it was, Chen Mo didn't say. He couldn't imagine what would happen if his mother encountered such a thing.

"So, I say he is right. After all, no one knows how he got here all these years, and how much hatred has accumulated in his heart. However, as a teacher, there is no doubt about his guilt. That's it.

What he said is that his feelings are pitiable and his crime deserves to be punished." Zang Hong sighed: "What a pity."

That Zhou Yuan was also a talented person, but it was a pity that he was ruined.

Chen Mo nodded, feeling a little depressed, and stood up and said, "Teacher, I want to learn the art of war."

"Why?" Zang Hong asked in confusion: "I just got the news that the left Zhonglang general Huangfu Song and the right Zhonglang general Zhu Jun defeated the Yellow Turban bandits in Yingchuan in May, and the North Zhonglang general Lu Gong also led them in April.

The elite marched north to Jizhou and won successive battles. The Yellow Turban bandits have already contained their power. I am afraid that they will be destroyed in a short time. I am afraid that by the time you finish learning, it will be useless. Naturally, you must learn the art of war, but as a teacher, I think there is no rush."

Chen Mo shook his head and said: "This disciple has a vague feeling that the Yellow Turban Rebellion is just the beginning. I'm afraid there will be many wars in the future. This disciple wants to learn the art of war early, not to mention becoming a prince or a general, but if there is chaos in the future, at least he can have his own freedom."

Protect your power!"

Zang Hong narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Chen Mo and said, "Did anyone teach you what Mo'er said?"

Chen Mo said blankly: "No one taught me?"

"Then how can you tell?" Zang Hong frowned.

"When I checked the tax books in the past few days, I found that the imperial tax is extremely heavy now, but the tax received by the county is no more than in previous years. Then I checked the household registration..."

"That's enough!" Zang Hong interrupted Chen Mo and said: "Don't mention this matter again, and don't discuss it with anyone anymore. Being a teacher does not mean you are proficient in the art of war. It can be taught to you. As for how much you can learn, it depends on you.

It’s up to you.”

"Disciple understands." Chen Mo bowed and said.

In the following time, Chen Mo's life became regular again. In addition to occasionally going out to visit friends and playing with his friends, he spent more time studying.

Zang Hong would also teach Chen Mo about Confucianism and law every day. In Zang Hong's words, these things contained the great principles and great wisdom left by the sages. However, in addition to learning these, he also began to give Chen Mo several military books.

Chen Mo studied it on his own.

Practice martial arts, eat, study, study, and sleep.

Chen Mo's life was simple and fulfilling. Tang Yuan's plan to sneak into the Yellow Turbans to gain training was put on hold because his father beat him severely afterwards. Chen Mo did not see him for the next month.

Until a month later, when Chen Mo met Tang Yuan again, the child was still limping. However, the child also had a stubborn temper and still did not give up the idea. It was just that he was unable to walk now and could only wait until he recovered from his injuries before leaving.

But he didn't wait for this opportunity.

In the next few months, all the news came about the defeat of the Yellow Turbans. After Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun defeated Yingchuan Bocai, they quickly recovered Chen State, Runan, Chenliu and other places. Most of the Yellow Turbans in the Central Plains were wiped out.

Following June, Zhu Jun led his troops south to attack the Yellow Turbans in Nanyang, while Huangfu Song led his troops north to Jizhou.

Nanyang Qushuai Zhang Mancheng was also beheaded in June.

In August, although the outcome was not decided, it was first reported that Lei Gong, the commander-in-chief of Xuzhou Qu, was beheaded by his subordinates, and most of the Xuzhou Yellow Turban Army surrendered. Then Bu Ji and other Yellow Turban Qu Commanders were captured alive, and beheaded, followed by the generals.

The virtuous teacher Zhang Jiao also died of illness. Suddenly, the entire Yellow Turban Army was completely leaderless, with only Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao still leading the army in Guangzong to confront the Han army.

In September, Huangfu Song defeated Zhang Liang, and Zhang Liang died in battle. In November, Huangfu Song defeated Zhang Bao's more than 100,000 Yellow Turban troops in Shangquyang, and Zhang Bao died in battle.

At this point, all the main forces of the Yellow Turbans have been wiped out. Although there are still remnants of the Taiping Sect in various places, with the death of the three brothers Zhang Jiao, Zhang Liang, and Zhang Bao, Tang Yuan has not waited for his injuries to recover. The Yellow Turbans have been defeated and he went out on his own.

The plan of hard work can only be aborted.

Until now, many people still find it difficult to believe that the Taiping Rebellion that swept the entire world with great vigor, and that at the beginning of the year almost made people think that it was the end of the Han Dynasty, was quickly put out in just nine months.

It's so fast that it's shocking.

However, after a war that spread all over the world, what followed was a raging plague, including a large-scale plague in Qingzhou. This year was truly a catastrophe, and disasters kept coming.

It seems that in order to change the national destiny, the imperial court changed the reign name from Guanghe to Zhongping as early as the beginning of the year. However, because the war had not spread, it was not until the end of the year that Chen Mo learned that the reign name had been changed. However, for

For people like them, there seems to be no difference between changing the reign name or not. The epidemic after the war seems to be more terrifying than the Taiping Rebellion. In just one month, all counties in Qingzhou were under martial law and checkpoints were set up at every intersection.
