following day
Early in the morning, Zhao Yun led 200 crimson blood demon cavalry to escort 200,000 Yellow Turban bandits and a large amount of rations to Xuantu County.
Logically speaking, 200 people would not be able to escort 200,000 people.
But in reality, it was extremely easy.
The terrifying combat strength of the Crimson Blood Demonic Cavalry yesterday had already intimidated all the Yellow Turban bandits, making their hearts tremble.
The strength of both sides was like the difference between heaven and earth.
Now that they did not have any weapons or armor, it was even more impossible for them to cause trouble.
Moreover, the Yellow Turban bandits who were willing to surrender had lower combat strength and morale than ordinary Yellow Turban bandits.
Zhao Yun chose the young and strong ones to escort the rations and supplies, and paid special attention to these young and strong people.
As long as he controlled these young men, the rest of the Yellow Turban bandits would not be able to resist.
As for fleeing, they could escape.
However, what was the use of escaping?
Zhao Yun had already stated the stakes.
If they fled and were discovered by the imperial court army, they would only die.
Even if they weren't Yellow Turban soldiers, they could have been killed to claim credit, not to mention that they were really Yellow Turban bandits!
Moreover, they had no food!
If they escaped from the army, they would only starve to death in the wilderness.
Under such circumstances, they could only behave themselves.
……
Zhao Yun had taken away 200 Crimson Blood Demonic Cavalry and 200,000 Yellow Turban captives, which had long attracted Yuan Chun's attention.
He sneered in his heart, no longer fearful.
In his eyes, Qin Ao was a boor!
This kind of person was nothing but a fighter.
Yuan Chun had thought that Qin Ao would only kill all the captives after taking them in. He did not expect Qin Ao to dare to take in more captives.
He knew at a glance that Qin Ao wanted to convert this part of his power into his own.
With such ambition, why worry about not dying!
This clearly left him with a huge handle.
He didn't show it on his face. Instead, he covered up for Qin Ao for the time being and wrote a 3,000-word memorial.
This was not only to record Qin Ao's merits, but also to exonerate him.
After Yuan Chun stamped the seal, a golden light shot toward Luoyang City.
......
Luoyang city
The Imperial Court
"How is the crusade against the Yellow Turban bandits going? Did Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Xi defeat those Yellow Turban bandits?”
Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong sat high on the throne and looked down at the officials below him as he asked irritably.
He hadn't had a good night's sleep these past few days.
Last night, he even dreamed that the burly man had collapsed and his head was separated from his body, dying a miserable death.
This was something he had never felt before.
Even if the Great Han Dynasty was declining, he was still the emperor and had the protection of the Great Han Dynasty's Golden Dragon.
However, during the Yellow Turban uprising, the Great Han Dynasty's dragon energy was damaged, and the golden dragon guarding the Great Han Dynasty was also severely injured. This made him feel worse by the day.
His attention was now all on the Yellow Turban thief.
"Your Majesty, the Yellow Turban bandits have an imposing manner. They have long planned this. They cooperated from the inside and outside to sweep through seven states and twenty-eight counties. The thirty-six canal marshals all had demonic techniques, and they had tens of millions of troops now. There was no end to killing them!”
"Among them, the three brothers Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang have monstrous strength. With the help of yao arts, they are invincible. Lord Lu Zhi, Lord Huangfu Song, and Zhu Xi can only barely resist the Yellow Turban Army and can't defeat the enemy for the time being.”
"A few days ago, Lord Huangfu Song was requesting His Majesty to send Grandmaster Wang Yue to assist the Imperial Guards in the war!”
An official stood up and said.
"Your Majesty, you must not! The Yellow Turban bandits were everywhere. Without Grandmaster Wang Yue, who would be able to guard the Imperial Palace? The Imperial Guards on the left and right were the guards of Luoyang City. They must not be moved lightly!”
Someone quickly stepped forward to dissuade him.
"Luoyang City is guarded by the Dragon Vein, civil and military officials, and a large number of experts in the palace. The left and right imperial guards are only two of the five battalions. Even if they are transferred, Luoyang City is as stable as Mount Tai!”
"Hmph, you idiot! Who knew about the Yellow Turban demonic spells? Could it be that they were betting on His Majesty's safety? Moreover, could the Yellow Turban bandits really overturn the heavens?”
"If you saw Zhang Jiao turning beans into soldiers and changing the world with a wave of his hand, you wouldn't be so arrogant!”
"Your Majesty, all the heroes in the world are responding. Everyone has the heart to serve their country. As long as we delay for a while more, the Yellow Turban Army will soon be eliminated!”
"After a long time, the foundation of the Great Han Dynasty no longer exists!”
The hall was in chaos.
The officials were all debating with each other.
There were also many officials who remained silent.
It was as if he was watching a joke.
"Alright, stop arguing! Grandmaster Wang Yue and the imperial guards around him could not move. He issued an order to the world to announce that talented people would attack the bandits. If they could attack the Yellow Turban commander, the imperial court would reward them heavily!”
Liu Hong shouted loudly to stop the commotion below.
He would never transfer the strength of Luoyang or the guards of the Imperial Palace. He would rather pay a price and let the officials of various places attack the bandits.
At this moment, a golden light bloomed from a chopping board in front of him on the left.
There was a golden scroll on it.
A eunuch quickly took the golden scroll and came to Liu Hong.
"Your Majesty, there is news from Yuyang City.”
Liu Hong took the golden scroll and his expression turned serious.
He didn't even dare to look at the scroll!
Over the past few days, scrolls requesting for help kept appearing in front of him. Every time he looked at them, he would be terrified.
The sense of powerlessness in his heart made him instinctively reject this.
But this time, it was different.
His tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and his eyes became brighter and brighter. In the end, he slapped the armrest and shouted,"Haha, good!"
"I didn't expect that my Great Han Dynasty would have such a fierce warrior! As expected, the heavens bless the burly man!"
"Zhang Rang, read it out for everyone. Look at the fierce general of my Great Han Dynasty!”
The scroll was handed to Zhang Rang. Zhang Rang took the scroll, and his sharp and hoarse voice sounded.
