They were just a group of Yellow Turban bandits. They were naturally powerless in front of Lu Qing's Youzhou army. Therefore, the battle ended in just two hours.
While the soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield, Lu Qing came up to Cai Yong.
As for Cai Yan and the servant girls, they only went to the carriage that Lu Qing had prepared for them.
"This old man Cai Yong thanks General for saving my life.”
Hearing Cai Yong's words, Lu Qing was stunned.
"Are you Mistress Cai?"
Lu Qing was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the person he saved along the way was actually the famous Cai Yong. In that case, the girl just now was Cai Zhaoji?
Thinking of this, Lu Qing came to a sudden realization. No wonder that girl's appearance was so shocking. It turned out to be the famous Cai Zhaoji.
"So it's Lord Cai. I'm Lu Qing from Youzhou. This time, I've responded to the imperial court's call to go south to suppress the bandits, but I didn't expect to have the honor of meeting Lord Cai here.”
Lu Qing said with a smile.
Cai Yong was stunned. Recently, Lu Qing had become very famous in the Great Han Dynasty. Not only did he spend money to buy an official position, but he also directly unified Youzhou. Even the Gongsun family of Youzhou directly submitted to him.
Thinking of this, Cai Yong felt a little ashamed, because when he heard the news of Lu Qing buying an official position, he even talked about Lu Qing behind his back.
He did not expect that his life would actually be saved by someone else.
Lu Qing didn't know about this. Although he really wanted to get to know Cai Yan, it was a time of war, so he told Cai Yong directly.
"Lord Cai, the Great Han Empire is currently unstable. Why don't I order the soldiers to send you to Youzhou?”
"I have 100,000 soldiers stationed in Youzhou, and there are no Yellow Turban bandits there. Why don't we stay there for a while and make other plans after the Yellow Turban rebellion is over?”
Lu Qing said. He naturally had his own thoughts. Who was Cai Yong? He was one of the top scholars in the world.
If he could get Cai Yong, then countless students would definitely go to Youzhou. At that time, wouldn't he have the grass-roots officials that he had always dreamed of?
He might even be able to get himself some top-notch talents through his relationship with Cai Yong.
Cai Yong didn't know what Lu Qing was thinking, but he thought about it carefully. In order to avoid the previous crisis, this was indeed a good idea.
"Thank you, Provincial Governor Lu."
Seeing Cai Yong agree, Lu Qing chuckled. His plan was half successful. He believed that Cai Yong would not be able to leave once they reached Youzhou.
The paper mill and printing factory alone could probably shock Cai Yong. As long as he stayed in Youzhou Province, he would not lack talents.
"Zilong!"
Lu Qing shouted. Immediately, a young general riding a white horse with a silver spear galloped over. He immediately dismounted and knelt down on one knee in front of Lu Qing.
"My lord!"
Lu Qing nodded and said to Zhao Yun.
"Send 500 Snowy Dragon Cavalry to escort Mistress Cai and her family to Youzhou!”
"Understood!"
Zhao Yun immediately accepted the order. The battle prowess of the 500 Snow Dragon Cavalry was extremely powerful. Even if they encountered thousands of Yellow Turban bandits, they could easily kill them. Therefore, Lu Qing was not worried about Cai Yong's safety at all.
On the carriage, Cai Yan gently pulled open the curtain. After which, he saw Lu Qing leading the army and leaving. His heart felt a little lost.
"Yan 'er."
Hearing Cai Yong's voice, Cai Yan immediately turned around.
Before his father could speak, Cai Yan actually took the initiative to speak.
"Father, are you talking about Wei Zhongdao? However, at the critical moment, he fled on his own and abandoned us. Could it be that Father still had hope for such a person?”
It turned out that Cai Yong had settled down in Wuyuan County after he was demoted. It just so happened that Wei Zhongdao had come to visit recently.
However, he did not expect to encounter the Yellow Turban Rebellion. At that critical moment just now, in order not to be dragged down, Wei Zhongdao rode away on his horse, leaving only Cai Yong's carriage as bait.
At that time, Cai Zhaoji was in despair. After all, Wei Zhongdao used to give her the impression that he was a gentleman, but she didn't expect him to be such a person when he was in danger.
In fact, men these days were basically like this. Just like Liu Bei, although he spoke of benevolence, righteousness, and morality, had he not abandoned his wife and children?
From this, it could be seen that in the hearts of men in this era, women were clothes.
"Sigh."
Cai Yong sighed. How could he not know this?
Forget it, forget it. It was just reputation. It was Wei Zhongdao who was heartless and unjust first. If he broke off the engagement like this, it was not the Cai family's fault.
Lu Qing did not know what was going on in the carriage. At this moment, Lu Qing was leading the army towards Wuyuan County. There were not many Yellow Turban bandits in Bing Province, and they were basically gathered in Wuyuan County. Ding Yuan, the governor of Bing Province, was resisting.
"I wonder if I'll have the chance to meet Lu Bu.”
Lu Qing muttered to himself as he rode his horse.
Zhang Fei was interested.
"Lord, who is this Lu Bu?"
Lu Bu had yet to become famous, and Zhang Fei was still a fledgling, so he didn't know who Lu Bu was.
"He should be the bravest of all the generals in the world.”
Everyone fell silent.
Even Zhao Yun, who didn't care, looked over. Although they usually didn't say anything, they were all very proud.
Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei often sparred in private. Because it was not a life and death battle, each of them had their own victories and defeats.
In their opinion, they were the only top-notch generals in the world. However, Lu Qing had actually said that Lu Bu was the number one in the world. This made them feel somewhat unconvinced.
"You'll know when you see it with your own eyes.”
Lu Qing said. At least for now, Lu Bu should be the number one general in the world.
At his peak, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and the others might be comparable to him. After all, generals only reached their peak when they were around 30 years old. Zhao Yun was still young.
