Chapter 37: Heaven Does Not Bless Me

The greatest achievement of passing through Jiaojun this time is undoubtedly leaving a heavy mark on Lao Cao. Liu Zhan is proud! The great villain Cao A-Man is an extraordinary figure. The most beautiful person in the Cao family is Lady Bian. Hehe, if Lao Cao knew about this, he would be so angry that he would die!

Of course, the possibility of Lao Cao knowing is extremely small. Unless Lady Liu wants to put Lady Bian to death, otherwise, such an extreme outcome will never occur.

This despicable guy has a wicked smile on his face. While walking, he still has an aftertaste. What a guy with bad taste. Liu Zhan's army set off again. The mission south of the Yellow River has ended.

Since setting out to encircle and suppress the Yellow Turbans, they have made a long-distance raid. A series of military operations have achieved brilliant results. The Yellow Turbans threatening Luoyang have basically been defeated and scattered. Liu Zhan and others have killed several leaders such as Zhang Bao, Zhang Chengman, Bo Cai, and Peng Tuo. Their military achievements are sufficient.

The key is that they have captured a large number of prisoners. The strongest ones have been quietly incorporated into the army, and the number has expanded to more than 45,000 people.

This is still not an open and blatant expansion. Some slightly weaker people are mixed among the ordinary prisoners and are sent to Youzhou in batches. Of course, in name, they are slaves.

Liu Zhan arranged for Zhang He and Gao Lan to be responsible for escorting the prisoners now. Along the way, Zhen's shops in the Central Plains provide food.

Last night, Liu Zhan and everyone summarized the situation respectively. In Tian Feng's prisoner register, several small Yellow Turban leaders were found. These people have been incorporated into the army.

Liu Zhan instructed Liu Ye and said, "Do a good job in persuading these people. If they sincerely surrender and have no ulterior motives, when passing through Shandong, place them there respectively and let them lurk in the mountainous areas and cooperate with Guan Hai or Zang Ba and others in their actions. Tell them not to make too big a move and quietly lurk down and wait for the opportunity."

When discussing the next step of action, Tian Feng asked Liu Zhan, "My lord, the Yellow Turbans in the south are basically almost done. Will the army still move eastward?"

As the war progressed, Liu Zhan's wisdom and ability were recognized by everyone, and they successively recognized the princess.

"No, the next step is to change direction. We will advance into Hebei." Liu Zhan replied.

"Oh, aren't we going to wipe out the Yellow Turbans in Shandong?"

"The Yellow Turbans in Shandong are no longer a threat. Are some stragglers worthy of us making a long journey and going to great lengths? We must reach Hebei before the end of September to participate in the final action to annihilate Zhang Jiao. After this battle, the Yellow Turbans will have completely collapsed. The remaining remnants are no longer a threat. The time has come to the end of the year, and the war is over." Liu Zhan said affirmatively.

"My lord is so certain. If we were not personally involved in this situation, we would surely be puzzled. My lord's judgment of the general trend is so accurate. Ziyang admires you, haha." Liu Ye said with a smile.

"The key is that we have accumulated enough military achievements. It is estimated that around the beginning of spring next year, the court's rewards for us will be implemented. Hehe, our thousands of miles of battles and fatigue on horseback are not in vain."

This last sentence is intended by Liu Zhan to give everyone an expectation. Everyone follows Liu Zhan on a thousand-mile battle. Isn't it just for the sake of making contributions and establishing a career?

In mid-September, Liu Zhan and others had already crossed the Yellow River and entered Hebei. At this time, General Huangfu Song had already gone north long ago. And in the area of Cangting in Dongjun, he was in a stalemate with the Yellow Turbans led by Bu Ji. Finally, in August, he defeated the Yellow Turbans, captured Bu Ji alive, and killed more than 7,000 people.
