In March, Huangfu Song, who had been stationed in Yingyin and Xu County, suddenly attacked and quickly entered Runan County, defeating Xihua, Ruyang, and Nandun's small yellow turbans, heading straight to Pingyu, the Runan County. Peng Tuo, the commander of Runan Yellow Turbans, quickly gathered troops to stop him. The two sides fought fiercely in Chenting north of Pingyu City for three days. Peng Tuo and Bocai finally blocked Huangfu Song's attack with the advantage of numbers. Cao Cao led 5,000 elite troops to suddenly appear on their flanks and entered the Yellow Turban Army formation unstoppable.

Peng Tuo and Bocai were shocked and were immediately distracted. Just when they mobilized their troops to surround Cao Cao, the thousand Xiliang Jing Cavalry that had been hidden by Huangfu Songxue was finally killed. Huangfu Song's son Huangfu Jianshou led the way with his son Huangfu Li and rushed to Peng Tuo's central army.

Peng Tuo and others had never seen such a situation. They were indifferent to the other and responded inappropriately. Cao Cao took the lead in defeating the Yellow Turban left wing with a army that was accumulating energy. His companion, Cao Ren, who was only fifteen years old, led more than a hundred fierce young men to break into Peng Tuo's central army and killed Peng Tuo in the face of battle. More than 50,000 Yellow Turban collapsed. Huangfu Song and Cao Cao chased each other reluctantly, and chased them with cavalry for fifty miles. Bo Cai died in the chaos.

In this battle, the entire Yellow Turban Army of Runan was wiped out, and the commander Peng Tuo and Bo was killed, which was the biggest defeat in the year of the uprising of the Yellow Army.

As soon as the emperor exerted his strength, he beat Zhang Jiao and slaughtered. Zhang Jiao did not show weakness, and immediately responded. When Dong Zhuo, the general of the Eastern Central Army, marched into Julu, he led the main force of the 80,000 Yellow Turbans to fight. Dong Zhuo had only more than 20,000 people, and had not paid military salaries for nearly half a year. The army complained and his morale was depressed. Facing the main force of the Yellow Turbans, which was four times more than he had, although he used all his strength to lead Niu Fu, Li Jue and others to fight desperately, he couldn't hold on for long. First, the infantry captain Zhao Yan fled, and then the garrison captain Jian Wu also ran away. As soon as they ran, they had already aimed at their Wang Kuang, and Chunyu Qiong ran away without even calling him.

The Northern Army ran away. Who would have been willing to work hard for Dong Zhuo to fight for the county soldiers recruited from all over the country? One ran faster than the other, but ended up throwing Dong Zhuo, the chief general. If Niu Fu and others had not fought to the death, the Thousand Xiliang tribes would have been fierce enough. The Yellow Turbans had serious lack of experience in dealing with cavalry. I was afraid that Dong Zhuo's life would be given to Zhang Jiao.

The ambitious Dong Zhuo was once again beaten by the harsh reality. More importantly, he had no place to complain. Zhao Yan and Jian Wu had a backer in the palace, and behind Wang Kuang and Chunyu Qiong was the Yuan family. No matter which one was not something Dong Zhuo could afford, he could only pinch his nose and admit his bad luck, take all the responsibilities on himself, and submit a memorial to apologize.

The emperor had no choice but to waive Dong Zhuo's position as the General of the Eastern Central Army, and let him stay in Arc destiny and make meritorious service.

The emperor and Zhang Jiao tied one-to-one, regardless of the difference, and the victory or defeat of Nanyang became the final decisive game.

Yuan Shu knew that the opportunity had come. At the suggestion of Zhu Jun and Zang Min, he ordered the reward of the three armies, boost morale, and then ordered the fierce attack on Wancheng. This battle shocked the world and the ghosts and gods. The two sides fought bloody battles for five days, and there was no distinction between the winners and losses. Yuan Shu saw that he could not capture the attack for a long time, and suffered heavy casualties. He was crazy and was dressed in armor. The main generals personally went on the battle. The generals of various divisions did not dare to neglect them. Zhu Jun, the general of the Southern Central Army, Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha, and Qin Jie, the prefect of Nanyang, all went on battle to fight. After most of the hard battle, Sun Jian led hundreds of divisions to the city first and severely injured Zhang Mancheng at the last minute.

Zhang Mancheng was seriously injured, and the morale of the Yellow Turban fell sharply, so he had to retreat into the small city to defend. That night, Zhang Mancheng died of serious injuries, and deputy general Zhao Hong was elected as the commander. Yuan Shu was overjoyed when he heard the news, and then led a large army into the city, surrounded the small city, and attacked fiercely day and night.

...

Yuan Shao's face was pale, and his hands holding the white porcelain wine glass were shaking involuntarily. Most of the wine in the cup was soaked in his sleeves, but he didn't notice it at all. He Yong's face looked very ugly when he sent the letter. They knew very well that this had reached the most critical moment.

Yuan Shu won the battle again and captured the big city of Wancheng. The small city could break the city at any time. Once he succeeded, the strongest force among the Yellow Turbans except Zhang Jiao was the undestroyable smile of Yuan Shu. Huangfu Song and Cao Cao had already chased Liang State and were about to enter Yanzhou soon. If they sweep the Yellow Turbans and attack Julu north, would Yuan Shao still have a chance?

Yuan Shao can be defeated by Zhang Jiao, but not by Yuan Shu. This is not only his own interests, but also the interests of the countless followers behind him. Why can't the emperor punish Wang Kuang and Chunyu Qiong now? It is because although Yuan Shao was defeated, his former general's position and strength are still there, and he still has a chance to make a comeback. However, if he still sits at home and watches, when Huangfu Song and Cao Cao defeat Zhang Jiao, he, as a former general, will be worthless. Then, no matter whether Wang Kuang and Chunyu Qiong are involved in merit or demerit, they will not be able to escape.

"I'm going to go to war." Yuan Shao clenched his hand and the white porcelain wine glass in his hand cracked with a "pop". The porcelain piece cut his palm, and the blood and the wine quickly soaked his hand red. Yuan Shao frowned slightly: "I can't wait any longer."

He Yong shook his head: "I don't think so."

Yuan Shao turned his head suddenly and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Boqiu, what do you mean?"

"If you attack too hard and destroy the Yellow Turban, it is not the best solution for us." He Yong picked up another white porcelain wine glass from the desk, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it all. His hands were a little trembling, which shows that he was also very nervous, but he didn't want to show it, which increased Yuan Shao's psychological burden.

"Why can the Yuan family hold heavy troops?" He Yong subconsciously licked his lips: "Why did Lord Situ drop some of your elite troops to Nanyang? Not only because he was interested in the rear general, but more importantly, he wanted the emperor to think that there were differences within the Yuan family and there was a struggle between you and the rear general. But what kind of battle can there be? Whether you are in charge of the soldiers or the rear general, the Yuan family is in charge of the soldiers, and Lord Situ has the weight of speaking. And Lord Situ represents the entire Yuan family and represents the scholars in the world."

Yuan Shao snorted unhappily and did not refute, but his eyes narrowed tighter showed his anger. Can Yuan Shu also represent the Yuan family and the scholars? No, he can represent the Yuan family. Only me is the leader of the scholars, and the well-deserved head of the next generation of the Yuan family. How can Yuan Shu, that playboy, replace me?

"Also, the military power is divided into two people and the General of the Later, rather than concentrated in your hands alone, but the Yuan family is more beneficial and more beneficial to the scholars." He Yong continued, "Think about it, who does the emperor trust the most now?"

"Liu Xiu?"

"How many soldiers are there in Liu Xiu's hands?"

"I heard that the Liang Qiying system is not complete in his Han Qiying. There should be more than 20,000 people in total. With the strength of Guanzhong, it should be less than 30,000."

"No, plus the army in Bingzhou, Liu Xiu can now gather 50,000 troops." He Yong shook his head and said, "But have you ever thought about why the emperor refused to let Liu Xiu come to Shandong to suppress the rebellion. His soldiers were all elite soldiers who had fought for many years. If he faced Zhang Jiao, would Zhang Jiao still be so comfortable now?"

Yuan Shao suddenly understood something. He looked at his bloody hands, pulled out a silk squid from his arms, and wiped it slowly. After a while, he threw the blood-squid on the desk: "You mean, the emperor doesn't really want to quell the rebellion?"

"It's possible." A trace of disappointment flashed across He Yong's eyes: "But more importantly, he didn't want Liu Xiu to make contributions again, so as not to become a big shot. He was wary of the Yuan family, and was also wary of Liu Xiu. Isn't this the reason? If the emperor had not nodded, could Cao Cao buy two thousand war horses from Bingzhou?"

"So... neither me nor Yuan Shu, there should be too many troops in his hands, otherwise the emperor will suppress us?"

He Yong nodded: "Liu Xiu's 50,000 army was divided into two. Although Zhao Yun from Bingzhou was his confidant, he was not directly under his control. The latter general made contributions in Nanyang this time and had nearly 25,000 troops. If I guess it was good, the emperor would soon order the attack to be suspended." He sighed long: "The final decisive battle is far from here."

Yuan Shao's eyes flashed, his frown slowly relaxed, and his expression relaxed a little. He sat back before the desk, picked up the wine pot and poured another glass of wine for He Yong: "What do we think?"

"Restore your energy and wait and see what happens." He Yong picked up the wine glass and pursed it slowly: "Zhang Jiao is a great teacher, he is the real leader of the Yellow Turbans. The main force of the Yellow Turbans in Julu is more than 100,000, and they are well-trained. Judging from the several wars over the past year, their progress is very fast. In the beginning, don't underestimate the enemy."

Yuan Shao smiled slightly: "So, did Huangfu Song and Cao Cao suffer?"

"Huangfu Song is not worth mentioning. He has no foundation here, but with Cao Cao, the situation is different." He Yong then sighed: "However, the situation will not be bad. With the Cao family's foundation, he cannot cause too much trouble. He has bought two thousand war horses, and the plan is enough. The Cao family can buy him another two thousand war horses."

Yuan Shao laughed. The war ended up with money. The connections and wealth behind the Yuan family were beyond Cao Cao's reach. In addition to the powerful local tyrants in Pei Country, he had a few followers? It doesn't matter. Let them fight with Zhang Jiao first.

"Bo Qiu, should we buy some more horses too?" Yuan Shao smiled and said, "Since the emperor can give Cao Cao two thousand, he should give us two thousand, right?"

"It's still appropriate to make a request." He Yong nodded: "I believe Lord Situ will take measures soon."

As expected, Yuan Wei quickly sent someone to invite Yuan Shao to go to the mansion to discuss. Yuan Shao was very calm and expressed his joy at Yuan Shu's achievements in Nanyang. Then he said that everything was followed by Yuan Wei's orders. He was ready to go to the war at any time. However, given that his troops had been transferred to Nanyang, if he wanted to go to Julu, would he ask the emperor for an imperial edict and buy some war horses from Bingliang to strengthen the strength of the cavalry?

Yuan Wei was very satisfied, nodded in agreement, and immediately signaled to someone to write a letter. Soon, the Secretary of the State ordered Chen Shi to write a letter to the emperor, asking the emperor to order the former general Yuan Shao, who had recovered from his injury, to go to Jizhou, and allocate war horses from Bingzhou Liangzhou to supplement the strength of the Northern Army, and allow Yuan Shao to recruit more troops in his private name.

The emperor sneered and stopped sending it, but the edict to allocate the war horses was sent out and sent to Liangzhou with a fast horse.

At the same time, news came from Nanyang that hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans rushed to Nanyang from all directions and surrounded Wancheng. Yuan Shu did not dare to neglect and slowed down his attack on the small city. He defended himself on the big city and asked the emperor for help, hoping to send Jingzhou Governor Liu Biao to support Nanyang...!!!
