Originally, the Yellow Turban Army had already been killed by the black-armored cavalry and fled in a sorry state. Now that Zhang Bao had also been shot under his horse, this intensified the panic in the army!
As a result, the Yellow Turban bandits, who had been advancing with high morale, became defeated in the blink of an eye. They were chased and slaughtered along the way. More than half of them were physically exhausted and fell halfway, either dead or captured.
The soldiers killed their way to Guangzong. Yang Yu wanted to follow the Yellow Turban soldiers and charge into the city in one go, but Zhang Liang, who was guarding the city, shot down a wave of arrows and killed all the Yellow Turban soldiers who were fleeing back to the city. He took the opportunity to close the city gate!
"This Zhang Liang is quite a character. He is decisive and cannot be underestimated.”When Huangfu Song saw this, he could not help but sigh.
After taking stock of the soldiers and the remnants of the five schools, Huangfu Song and Zhu Rong had fifty thousand soldiers, while Yang Yu still had twenty thousand soldiers. Their losses were not great.
Yang Yu saw that Guangzong City was indeed not suitable to attack, so he was not in a hurry to start a war.
After the Yellow Turban Army failed to break out of the encirclement twice, they also retreated into the city and did not move.
Seeing that there was no war here for the time being, Yang Yu said,"If the army doesn't return, the emperor will be suspicious. He could send Dong Zhuo back to the capital and ask all the officials to come forward to meet the emperor. He could impeach Dong Zhuo and attack the eunuchs with the matter of Jizhou. This way, we can fight in Jizhou with a legitimate reason.”
Thus, Huangfu Song sent people to send Dong Zhuo and the others back to Luoyang for Liu Hong to deal with.
In the past few days, Nanyang Prefecture Governor Qin Jie and the local wealthy families all wrote letters to state Yang Yu's contributions.
Although the Ten Attendants were domineering, they did not dare to provoke the Nanyang aristocratic family group, so they could only send the report from Nanyang to Liu Hong.
"What is it? Nanyang Battle Report? Read it!" Liu Hong had known that Yang Yu had left Yingchuan and gone to Nanyang to suppress the bandits. He had not heard any news about Yang Yu these days and was anxious. When he heard this, he immediately became energetic.
Jian Shuo had no choice but to read them out,"
"Luyang County Magistrate reports to Your Majesty: Zhonglang General Huangfu Song and Zhu Wei led the troops and bravely killed the enemy. However, there were too many rebel soldiers and they retreated to Luyang. Fortunately, there was a general of Yue Cavalry who bravely killed the enemy and killed 40,000 enemies with 10,000 people, thus relieving the danger of Luyang.”
"Nanyang Prefecture Governor Qin Jie reports to Your Majesty: There were more than 100,000 rebels, and it was difficult to defeat them. Yang Yu, the general of Yue Cavalry, had extraordinary courage. He led more than ten people into the enemy camp at night and killed Zhang Mancheng, the commander of the Yellow Turban Canal, and other rebel commanders. He also defeated the Yellow Turban rebels with 10,000 people. More than 100,000 rebels in Wancheng suffered countless casualties, and Nanyang was pacified.”
" I, the 6th grandson of the 28 generals of Yuntai, Wuhan, the Marquis of Guangping, report to Your Majesty. The Yue Cavalry General, Yang Yu, is extremely brave…"
"I…"
……
These reports were all singing praises of Yang Yu. They were all grateful for his survival.
Liu Hong exclaimed,"
"The Yellow Turban bandit who defeated Huangfu Song and Zhu Xi was defeated by him so easily!”
"You actually thought of a brilliant plan to lure the enemy in and intercept them halfway!”
"Hiss! Entering the thief camp alone, Yang Yu was filled with courage!”
"I have Yang Yu alone, who is better than the elites of the Three Rivers Five Schools and even better than countless good-for-nothings in the court!”
The more Liu Hong listened, the more satisfied he became. In the end, he couldn't help but stand up."Ying 'er recommended such a great talent to zhen, zhen should reward her heavily! Yes, send all these reports to her and make her happy!”
After Liu Ying received these reports, she carefully read them one by one. There was panic, worry, and shock in her eyes, but in the end, they all turned into happiness.
"He has incomparable strength, extraordinary courage, and wisdom! This guy had indeed been hiding his talent in the past! Could it be that he really refused to show his talent because he wanted to protect me?”
The more Liu Ying thought about it, the more she felt that way. She could no longer find any reason to explain Yang Yu's low profile in the past three years. A girl who fell in love with someone would sometimes become blind.
"I wonder when that fellow will be able to return to the capital."
Thinking of Yang Yu's contribution, Liu Ying was both happy and worried.
"With that fellow's military merits, even if the nobles in the court suppress him and he can't be promoted, he definitely can't come back here to guard the palace gates for bengong. Ai, in the past three years, why didn't bengong pay more attention to him?”
……
In just a few days, Dong Zhuo's party was escorted to Luoyang.
Just as Yang Yu and the others had expected, when the Ten Attendants heard that Dong Zhuo had been imprisoned by Huangfu Song, although they knew that it was against the rules, they did not dare to talk about it to Liu Hong. They only stayed in the palace all day to confuse Liu Hong with sensuality and kept Liu Hong from going to court, so that the ministers of the outer court could not meet Liu Hong.
At this time, the ministers of the outer court, whether it was General He Jin's faction or Yang Ci's faction, all felt that it was not a good thing for the Emperor to be bewitched by the eunuchs. Moreover, Dong Zhuo harbored evil intentions and committed a heinous crime. The key was that he colluded with the officials. Therefore, everyone really gathered together and knelt in the forbidden palace. They wanted to see Liu Hong.
Yuan Pang was born in the Yuan family of Chen County, and was once from the same family as Yuan Shao of Runan.
Since this person was born in a famous family, he wanted to go to the outside world, so he looked for an opportunity to meet the emperor as a servant.
"Your Majesty, the officials outside have been kneeling for three days. The Ten Attendants of the Imperial Court are in control of the palace and are not allowed to inform Your Majesty. If His Majesty continued to be bewitched by them, he would probably lose the hearts of the people.”
Liu Hong looked away from the dancers and glanced at the eunuchs around him.""Is there such a thing?"
The surrounding eunuchs were shocked and shook their heads.
Zhang Rang pointed at Yuan Pang and scolded," Your Majesty, Yuan Pang and Yuan Kui are trying to control the internal and external court affairs. They have ulterior motives. Your Majesty should be cautious!"”
Yuan Pang sneered,"Your Majesty, why don't you take a few steps and take a look outside?"”
Liu Hong stood up and went out to take a look. He saw all the officials kneeling outside. He Jin was still the leader, followed by the three dukes and nine ministers.
Hence, Liu Hong turned around and glared at the Ten Attendants behind him. He immediately reprimanded,""I'll settle the score with you guys later! Immediately serve the food and wine to the ministers!”
He Jin knelt down for three days and said weakly,"If Your Majesty doesn't listen to our report, we are willing to kneel here and die!”
The people behind immediately echoed.
"Then say it, I'm listening."”
"Your Majesty, Dong Zhuo harbored evil intentions. After arriving in Jizhou, he did not think about suppressing the bandits. Instead, he spent all his time wooing the generals in the army. After his defeat, the news was suppressed by the Ten Generals! If this person was not removed and the eunuchs were not killed, the court would never have a peaceful day!”
The crowd behind him echoed.
"Dong Zhuo dares to do this?" Liu Hong's expression changed slightly. Immediately summon Dong Zhuo! I will punish Dong Zhuo severely and give you an explanation!”
Liu Hong went straight in after he finished speaking, not mentioning anything about punishing the eunuchs.
When everyone saw this, they knew that it was difficult to shake the Ten Attendants, so they could only obey. They helped each other and went inside to make a living.
