The next morning!
Chen Mu led the army and set off. He also sent a hundred cavalrymen to bring the battle report to Luoyang. He then ordered them to wait in Xuzhou!
When Chen Mu entered Nanyang…
The battle report from Yingchuan was also sent to Luoyang.
The North army won a great victory. He personally went out of Bingzhou and won a battle. He killed more than 30,000 enemy soldiers and surrendered 7,000 soldiers.
Yuzhou's Yellow Turban leaders Bo Cai, Guan Hai, and Han Zhong had been killed, directly crushing the Yellow Turban's main force in Yuzhou. This was an unprecedented victory since the Great Han Dynasty's army quelled the rebellion. Naturally, the monarch and the people were excited, but some people felt rather uncomfortable.
In the Jiade Palace.
Liu Hong's face was flushed red. He looked at the battle report that Chen Mu had submitted and said in delight,""My Northguard Marquis has won a great victory. He defeated the main force of the rebel army in Yuzhou in one battle and is now heading for Nanyang in Jingzhou. In five months, he has conquered all the states.”
"Northern Marquis Dacai!"
He Jin and Yuan Feng had ugly expressions, but they could only compliment him.
They didn't have the ability to lead troops and couldn't go out to battle. They could only lead a few thousand palace guards to guard the passes of the counties around Luoyang.
"Your Majesty, the Yellow Turban Rebellion originated from the leader of the Road of Peace!”
"Now that the rebel army has been defeated, Bing Province has been in chaos all year round, and most of the cities are empty. The Northern Marquis has sent the surrendered army to Bing Province to fill the empty space. This is a display of Your Majesty's love for the people.”Zhang Rang saw Liu Hong's joy and quickly said.
"Yes!"
Liu Hong narrowed his eyes and said," Send an order to all the provinces. All the rebels and surrendered troops are to be sent to Bing Province. Bing Province has been suffering too much these years. Moreover, they are not strong enough to suppress the rebels. Put them in Bing Province and let the Marquis of Northern Battlefront educate them. They can also help him guard the northern border!"”
"Here!"
Zhang Rang said respectfully.
Zhao Zhong frowned and could not help but look at He Jin, Yuan Shao, Yang Biao, and the others.
Now, Zhang Rang had relied on Chen Mu to become Liu Hong's number one attendant, and his position was in danger. If he did not join forces with others, his fate would not be any better than Wang Fu's.
After the court session.
Cai Yong's face was glowing, and his footsteps were lighter.
Cai Yan was Chen Mu's fiancée and he was Chen Mu's father-in-law.
Now that Chen Mu had won a great victory in Yingchuan, his face was also glowing. How could he not be happy?
Jingzhou, Nanyang, Wan County, ten miles North.
Sun Jian drew the general map of Nanyang on the ground and said in a deep voice,""Marquis of Northern Battlefront, the geography of Nanyang is complicated. Wan County is one of the most important cities of the Great Han Dynasty. The city is hard to attack. The previous governor of Nanyang, Chu Gong, was killed by Zhang Mancheng. He has occupied Wan County for dozens of days and has gathered nearly twelve soldiers!”
"How much do you know about this person?" Chen Mu asked with a frown.”
"Not much!"
Sun Jian shook his head and said in a deep voice," I only know that after Ma Yuanyi was torn apart, this person called himself Divine Ambassador and led the Nanyang rebel army to rebel against the Great Han Dynasty. It can be said that this person did not get Zhang Jiao's approval!”
"How high is Wan City?" Chen Mu said with a frown.?
"Sixty feet tall and thirty feet wide, we don't even have any siege weapons!”Sun Jian said bitterly.
"The System has purchased 10 catapults and 300 jars of alchemical fire oil!”
Chen Mu sneered and summoned the System Interface to search for a bunch of siege weapons.?
Among the siege weapons, the most expensive ones were catapults that could shoot for 600 steps, followed by large ballistae that could shoot for 500 steps, siege hammers, scaling ladders, and so on!
"Ding…spent 20,000 battle coins to purchase catapults successfully!”
"Ding…spent 10,000 battle coins to purchase alchemical fire oil successfully!”
"Ding! Host, please choose the drop location 10, 9, 8, 7, 6…!”
"Release location, five miles to the west!”
Chen Mu completed the transaction with the system almost instantly. He then turned to Lu Bu and said,""Fengxian, our siege weapons should have arrived. Lead 3,000 troops and pull them over five miles to the west!”
"Here!"
" Yes!" Lu Bu called out and commanded 3,000 soldiers to head west.
"When did you bring the siege weapons here, Marquis of Zhenbei?" Sun Jian asked with a strange expression.”
"When the Yellow Turban army first rose, the emperor sent a secret edict to me to prepare for war!”
"At that time, I had already drawn up the route of the army. With Bingzhou as the starting point, I would pass through Yuzhou, Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and finally Jizhou and Youzhou. Therefore, I had sent people to investigate these rebels and find a way to defeat them!”Chen Mu lied without changing his expression.?
"I see. No wonder the Marquis of Zhenbei is so powerful. Know yourself and know your enemy!”Sun Jian said in admiration.
Four hours later.
Lu Bu had a strange expression on his face as he led 3,000 soldiers to pull over 10 catapults and 300 jars of alchemical fire oil.
"Oh my god!"
Sun Jian looked at the trebuchet that was several zhang tall and had a ten-zhang long arm. He was completely stunned.
The catapults had disappeared for a long time. In the later generations, it was recorded that Cao Cao only took out the Thunderbolt Chariot during the Battle of Guandu.
In that battle, the Thunderbolt Chariot was extremely effective. It was the main offensive weapon that defeated Yuan Shao's army. Such a ferocious beast had appeared in front of the world in advance. It could be seen how terrifying it was!
"Gulp!"
The 300 generals led by Sun Jian were also shocked, swallowing their saliva crazily.
