The Yellow Turban army's defeat was accelerated by the discord between Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang. Other than Zhang Bao, who had fled, and Tian Qi, who was the young master of the Path of Peace but was secretly a captain of Fan Xing's Hidden Dragon, all the Yellow Turban soldiers in Guangzong City surrendered. Zhang Liang was also killed among the rebels.
Fan Xing was very satisfied with this. The escaping Zhang Bao was actually released by Fan Xing. Otherwise, it would be a dream for Zhang Bao to escape so easily under Fan Xing's surveillance. Fan Xing let Zhang Bao go so that he could make the current situation in the Eastern Han more chaotic. As for Tianqi, it was needless to say. They were all on the same side. Now, they just needed a good opportunity to take in the Yellow Turban Army led by Tianqi. After all, the people led by Tianqi were all loyal to Zhang Jiao. If he asked them to submit to him, they might feel conflicted. However, Fan Xing wasn't worried. After all, their young master was already one of them.
The vigorous Yellow Turban uprising was finally over. The remaining scattered Yellow Turban soldiers were no longer a concern. The harvest from the extermination of the Yellow Turban army was very rich for Fan Xing.
First, there was a large increase in population. The Yellow Turban uprising had forced many civilians to leave their homes. In the whole country, only the three counties under Fan Xing were safe. They were not attacked by the Yellow Turban army at all. At most, they were fighting in the periphery. When they saw the troops of the three counties coming out, they immediately fled. In this way, the population of the three counties increased again, and the labor force increased. In addition, there were quite a number of merchants and rich people who fled to the three counties. In this way, the economy of the three counties also rose to a higher level. It was undeniable that in ancient times, population was indeed a very important resource.
Secondly, there would be a lot more money and resources. The officials and rich families in those places would probably plunder more money from the flat land than the national treasury, and the Yellow Turban army would definitely rob the money of those local officials and rich families wherever they went. Now that Fan Xing had defeated the Yellow Turban army, the money that was robbed would naturally go to Fan Xing. What? You said that the Emperor wanted Fan Xing to hand over all the money. What a joke. Who saw Fan Xing take the money?
Thirdly, the new soldiers had gained experience and become more mature and powerful.
Fourthly, Fan Xing's fame had grown, and his contributions had also grown. No matter how ill-informed those commoners were, they would know who the hero who defeated the Yellow Turban Army was, right? This way, there would be even more capable people who would come.
At this moment, every street in Xuantu County was filled with people. Everyone's face was filled with happiness and pride because the hero who had exterminated the Yellow Turban was their county governor. Now that the county governor had returned, they naturally had to welcome the returning hero with incomparable enthusiasm.
Fan Xing looked at the enthusiastic people around him. His heart was filled with satisfaction and excitement. Wasn't this what he wanted to see? Fan Xing really wanted to shout a few times to vent his feelings, but this was not allowed. He could only smile at the crowd and try his best to wave to express his gratitude.
Finally, Fan Xing and the others returned to the Prefectural Governor's Mansion after being sent off by the people. Xun Yu and the others had been waiting here for a long time. When they saw each other, they congratulated each other.
After everyone chatted for a while, Fan Xing, who had changed his clothes, sat on the main seat and coughed lightly, signaling for everyone to be quiet. Then he began to ask Xun Yu about the situation in the three counties during his absence. Xun Yu naturally reported the truth immediately. In short, during the time when Fan Xing led his troops to destroy the Yellow Turban, the three counties had improved to varying degrees in terms of economy and culture. The prisoners sent over also timely solved the problem of sparsely populated areas in the three counties. The trade and cultural exchange with the Wuhuan had also achieved good results. Now, the prosperity of the three counties could be said to be no less than Luoyang. The only difference was that Luoyang had an additional palace than the three counties.
After hearing Xun Yu's report, Fan Xing was very happy. Now, it could be said to be a double blessing. They had successfully eliminated the Yellow Turban, and the three counties were becoming more and more prosperous. The exchanges with the Wuhuan had also achieved great success. All of this was developing according to Fan Xing's wishes.
Fan Xing nodded with satisfaction, then smiled and said,""Everyone has worked hard. Because of everyone's hard work, we have achieved great success. Our homeland has become stronger and more prosperous. This is all exchanged for by everyone's sweat.”With that, Fan Xing stood up and bowed to the crowd.
When they saw Fan Xing bow to them, they immediately said that they didn't dare. They were very touched that Fan Xing respected them so much. They were more loyal to Fan Xing and worked harder for him.
After Fan Xing thanked everyone, he immediately asked Yu Jin about the military training in the three counties. Yu Jin immediately stepped forward and said in a steady voice,""My lord! The troops stationed in the three counties had all gone through the most difficult screening and training. They were definitely the cream of the crop.”Although it was only Yu Jin's verbal report, Fan Xing knew that Yu Jin would never exaggerate, so he nodded in satisfaction.
Looking around at his subordinates, Fan Xing smiled and said,""Everyone worked hard this time and we all succeeded. Everyone might have worked a little hard during this period of time, so everyone should rest for the next two days. Don't tire yourself out. I still need everyone's support.”After saying that, he waved his hand, indicating that everyone could leave. Then, he also left in a hurry to find his beautiful wives. Seeing Fan Xing's hurried appearance, everyone laughed.
These days, Fan Xing had been accompanying the five women. Except for not being possessed by Fan Xing, the five women had done everything they could. The five women had Fan Xing in their hearts. If Fan Xing wanted them, they would give them to him without hesitation. However, Fan Xing didn't do that. He knew that most women wanted to leave their virginity in the bridal chamber in ancient times. Therefore, Fan Xing only showed off his lust. The five women knew what Fan Xing was thinking. They were all very touched. She loved Fan Xing even more.
On this day, Fan Xing was teasing the five women when a servant came in and said that a father-in-law wanted to see him. Fan Xing knew that the Emperor had sent someone and immediately took the five women out to meet the father-in-law.
As soon as Fan Xing entered the hall, he saw a man and woman sitting there. He immediately went over to welcome them. That person was naturally the eunuch. When the eunuch saw Fan Xing, he immediately said respectfully,"Greetings, General of the Flying Cavalry." Fan Xing smiled as he helped the eunuch up and asked,""May I know why Eunuch has come?”The eunuch immediately smiled and said," I'm here to deliver the Emperor's orders. General, you've made a great contribution in pacifying the Yellow Turban. The Emperor is very happy, so this time, I'm here to summon you to the palace to reward you. When my family reads out the edict later, General, you don't have to be too serious."”The eunuch also knew that Fan Xing was the Emperor's favorite and could not be offended. Therefore, he changed his appearance to please Fan Xing. He knew that many people were like this. It was fine to kneel to the Emperor, but kneeling to eunuchs like him was not a big deal on the surface, but it was definitely not good in his heart, even if he was sent by the Emperor.
Hearing the eunuch's words, Fan Xing immediately showed a satisfied expression. Fan Xing had a modern way of thinking and didn't like the etiquette of kneeling, let alone kneeling to a man who was neither male nor female. Fan Xing was very satisfied with the eunuch's good behavior. Fan Xing was considering whether he could save his life when the palace was in chaos.
After a simple announcement, the eunuch left in a hurry. He still had a lot of places to go. Fan Xing also sent the eunuch off warmly.
