After the battle ended, Ding Yuan and the others walked out of Wuyuan County.
"Greetings, Provincial Governor Lu."
Ding Yuan cupped his hands and bowed to Lu Qing, followed by Lu Bu.
"Provincial Governor Ding."
Lu Qing nodded. At this moment, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and the others behind Lu Qing had locked their gazes on Lu Bu.
"Is this guy the number one general the lord spoke of?”
The few of them thought to themselves. However, they were actually quite serious. Even before the battle, the aura on Lu Bu's body told them that the person in front of them was extremely powerful.
As for Lu Bu, all eyes were on the Youzhou Cavalry. The Bingzhou Cavalry that he was so proud of were nothing in front of the Youzhou Cavalry.
As a valiant general, such an army was what he had always dreamed of.
Lu Qing had led his army to reinforce them. As the host, Ding Yuan naturally had to treat Lu Qing and his group well.
Ding Yuan raised his wine cup and said to Lu Qing.
"I've long heard of Brother Lu's reputation, but I didn't expect the Youzhou cavalry under Brother Lu to be so powerful.”
Ding Yuan said with a sigh. That was a Yellow Turban thief worth more than a hundred thousand! They were actually swept away by 40,000 Youzhou cavalry.
Although the Yellow Turban bandits were a motley crew, they were outnumbered!
"Provincial Governor Ding, you flatter me."
Lu Qing smiled. After they had their fill, Ding Yuan got to the main topic.
"Bingzhou needs to constantly defend against the invasion of the Wuhuan people, so if we go south to clean up the Yellow Turban bandits, our Bingzhou really doesn't have any soldiers to use.”
Ding Yuan sighed. There were only tens of thousands of soldiers in Bing Province, and they could barely stop the Wuhuan's attacks.
If the Wuhuan people launched a large-scale attack, the imperial court would even have to send troops to support the northern expedition. Therefore, even if he wanted to exterminate the Yellow Turban bandits, he would not be able to make any contributions.
After a pause, Ding Yuan looked at Lu Bu and said.
"But at this critical moment, as the governor of Bingzhou, I naturally can't turn a blind eye.”
"That's why I want my son to lead the three thousand Bing Province cavalry to follow you down south to wipe out the bandits, alright?”
Hearing Ding Yuan's words, Lu Qing was stunned, while Lu Bu was overjoyed.
He had long wanted to exterminate the Yellow Turban bandits, because everyone in the world knew that this was a good opportunity to make contributions. As long as there was merit, he would definitely be rewarded.
Moreover, because of the rebellion of the Yellow Turban bandits, many places, whether provincial governors or prefects, would have many empty positions. If they had some military achievements, they might have a chance to rise to the sky in one step and become the prefect of a county.
"Provincial Governor Ding really put in a lot of effort!”
Lu Qing sighed. Actually, it would be fine even if Ding Yuan didn't send troops. After all, the most important thing at the border was to defend against the alien races.
However, he insisted on letting Lu Bu go. It was obvious that he wanted to give his son a chance to make contributions.
Lu Bu in history probably did not participate in the Yellow Turban Rebellion because he was stationed in Bingzhou with Ding Yuan. As a result, he lost the opportunity to make contributions, which was why he was dissatisfied with Ding Yuan.
After all, Bing Province did not have many soldiers. When facing the Wuhuan people, they would usually focus on defense.
Under such circumstances, it was naturally very difficult for him to gain any battle merits. Thus, when Lu Bu finally appeared, he was only a small official registrar.
Now, it seemed that Ding Yuan really cared about Lu Bu. Now that he had found an opportunity, wouldn't Lu Bu be able to make a name for himself?
"My son, Fengxian, has courage that no man can match.”
"However, he also has a big flaw, and that is that he is too boorish. If he goes south with Provincial Governor Lu, there will be someone who can suppress him. Otherwise, I really don't feel at ease with him sending troops alone.”
Ding Yuan said. Lu Bu was indeed such a person. Because of his powerful strength, he was often brave but had no strategy. If there was no one who could suppress him, it was easy for him to get into trouble.
Lu Qing looked at the expectant Lu Bu and nodded after a moment of hesitation.
It was impossible for him to not have any thoughts about Lu Bu, even though in the Three Kingdoms, Lu Bu was said to be a servant of three surnames.
However, in Lu Qing's opinion, this was a very normal thing. Although it was not right, it was actually like a modern person jumping ship.
Of course, Lu Bu killing his foster father Ding Yuan was already too much, but Lu Qing was confident that he could control Lu Bu.
For example, there was a type of miniature bomb in modern times. If Lu Qing wanted to control a person's life and death, it would be too easy.
He only needed to add this miniature bomb to the items given to his subordinates. If his subordinates betrayed him, he could turn them into ashes in minutes.
This kind of modern technology was something that the ancients would never have thought of. Therefore, Lu Qing was not worried that Lu Bu would betray him. If he really dared to betray him, the consequences would be very serious.
Just like that, Lu Qing nodded in agreement and Lu Bu led the 3,000 Bing Province Cavalry to join Lu Qing's team.
After resting for a day, the army continued to move out.
Lu Qing's target was Guangzong. He knew that the final battle would begin there, so he led the army to push through. Wherever he went, the Yellow Turban bandits were powerless to resist.
In the blink of an eye, three months had passed. Because of Lu Qing, the Yellow Turban bandits were defeated several times faster than in history.
In just three short months, the Yellow Turban bandits had been defeated like a landslide. Now, they had directly retreated to Yuzhou and Jizhou.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion that swept across the Great Han Dynasty was controlled within two provinces.
