"Good!"
"Good!"
"Good!"
Liu Hong said three words in a row.
She was so excited that her face turned red.
It had been April since the Yellow Turban rebellion in February.
It had been almost two months!
In the past two months, Liu Hong had not received any good news at all.
Even Zhu Xi and Huangfu Song, whom he had placed high hopes on, had reported that they had been besieged and requested reinforcements from the Imperial Court.
These two months were the most difficult two months of Liu Hong's life!
He had been living a smooth life since he was young. When had he ever encountered such a thing?
Moreover, seeing the reports of defeat coming from all over the world every day, Liu Hong even thought that his reign as Emperor was coming to an end.
He was so anxious that he had lost more than half of his hair during this period of time.
Just when he thought that the news of Youzhou's defeat was coming, Youzhou actually won, and it was a great victory!
Cheng Zhiyuan, one of the Yellow Turbans, was dead!
The 50,000-strong Yellow Turban army was defeated!
6,000 prisoners!
Killing nearly ten thousand enemies!
Any one of the four pieces of news was enough to make Liu Hong excited, not to mention that these four pieces of news were from the same piece of news.
However…
After the great joy.
Liu Hong suddenly realized something.
The surprise on her face grew.
"Who did you say it was?" he asked hurriedly. Fortunately, who stepped forward?"
"Your Majesty, it's the county governor of Dai County, Liu Xuan, Liu Haoran!”
As soon as the soldier finished speaking, Liu Hong's smug laughter rang out."Hahahahahaha!"
Looking at Liu Hong's smug look, those who didn't know better would think that his name was Liu Xuan!
At the side.
Zhang Rang, who was serving Liu Hong, also had a red face.
After all.
Liu Xuan was recommended to Liu Hong by Zhang Rang.
The officials below were puzzled.
An old official stepped out and asked in puzzlement,""Why are you laughing, Your Majesty?"
"Did Sikong forget?"
"When I conferred Liu Xuan the title of Marquis of Dai County back then, you all had quite a few objections!" Liu Hong said with a flushed face. You pester me every day and ask me to take back my orders!”
Liu Hong stood up.
He placed his hands behind his back.
He held his head high and puffed out his chest.
"If it weren't for my discerning eyes, if it weren't for my persistence, how could we have won such a great victory in Youzhou today?"”
Happy!
Liu Hong was extremely happy!
Thinking of how he had once slapped the faces of those stubborn old ministers, Liu Hong felt inexplicably comfortable!
"Reward, you should be rewarded!"
The overjoyed Liu Hong immediately raised this matter in the court, but was eventually persuaded by the officials in the court.
After all, the Yellow Turban bandits had not been suppressed yet, so it was not time to reward them according to their merits.
Although Liu Hong didn't like it and was muddle-headed, he still understood this basic principle.
That's why.
The matter of the reward was temporarily suppressed.
……
He won a great victory in Youzhou, killed the Yellow Turban commander Cheng Zhiyuan, and defeated 50,000 Yellow Turban soldiers!
This news quickly spread through half of the Great Han Territory.
For a moment!
The originally low morale of the imperial court's army had been boosted to a certain extent.
However!
This news also angered the Yellow Turban thieves.
One of the three generals of the Yellow Turban Army, Ren Gong General Zhang Liang, personally led 80,000 troops from Julu County all the way north, passing through Zhongshan Kingdom and approaching Dai County!
In fact, Zhang Liang's purpose for coming to Dai County this time was not just to avenge Cheng Zhiyuan!
Don't look at how the Yellow Turban Army was in the limelight now, suppressing the various rebel armies of the imperial court.
But in reality.
Zhang Jiao and the others had gradually realized the seriousness of the situation.
That was!
Food problem.
The main force of the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou was about to fall into the predicament of food shortage.
The food they had now was only enough to last them for a month or two.
As the largest granary in Jizhou, or rather, north of the Yellow River, Ye City was still under the control of the imperial court.
There were about 30,000 elites of the Northern Army led by General Lu Zhi stationed in the city!
The Northern Army's Five Commanders had an impressive background. They were the imperial guards specially used to defend Luoyang.
It is divided into five battalions: Tun Cavalry, Yue Cavalry, Infantry, Changshui and Shooting Sound.
The Tun Cavalry Camp, Yue Cavalry Camp, and Changshui Camp were all elite cavalry, while the Infantry Camp was made up of elite infantry and the Shesheng Camp was made up of elite archers.
These thirty thousand soldiers were not like the other armies of the Imperial Court that had been defeated repeatedly. They were elites.
No, no, no!
To be exact, they were the elites among the elites!
Even though they were facing the main force of the Yellow Turban Army led by Zhang Jiao.
Even though they were facing a total of 300,000 Yellow Turban soldiers.
However!
Ye City, which was guarded by the five northern troops, was still as stable as a mountain.
Zhang Jiao and the others saw that Ye City could not be conquered for a long time, and their rations were only enough to last them for a month or two. They were extremely anxious.
At this moment!
Then, he learned that Cheng Zhiyuan had been beheaded in Youzhou.
Originally, Zhang Jiao and the others didn't want to pay too much attention to Youzhou.
However, they suddenly received information.
Liu Xuan, the acting prefectural governor of Youzhou Province, was distributing grains to the commoners of the five prefectures of Youzhou Province for free. Each of them could get 50 jin of grain!
Dai County must have a large amount of food!!
This was the consensus of the entire Yellow Turban Army.
Then, they decisively sent out a group of troops and headed north to Daijun.
From the beginning to the end, Liu Xuan revealed to the outside world that Dai County only had 3,000 soldiers.
The soldiers he recruited were secretly recruited from the Construction Corps and were not made public.
Moreover, the training grounds for these newly recruited soldiers were far away from the residential areas of the common people.
Therefore.
In the eyes of Zhang Jiao and the others, Dai County only had 3,000 soldiers!
Even if the other prefectures of Youzhou provided assistance, it would only be five or six thousand at most.
Originally, Zhang Liang only wanted to bring 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers to attack Dai County.
However, due to the defeat of Cheng Zhiyuan and Deng Mao, he had brought 80,000 troops with him just in case. He also wanted to transport the grain from Dai County to the headquarters of the Yellow Turban Army in Julu Prefecture as soon as possible after they captured Dai County. At the same time, he also wanted to occupy Youzhou.
When Liu Xuan heard the news…
He laughed!
He smiled happily!
He was laughing so happily!
