The imperial court granted Huangfu Song the title of Zuo Chaqi General, Jizhou Mu, Huaili Marquis, with a settlement of 8,000 households. This was no problem. Liu Bei was even grateful to Huangfu Song because he gave his teacher Lu the credit for pacifying Zhangjiao. Zhi, let Lu Zhi be released from prison safely.
But the problem is Huangfu Songshang's memorial. He wrote to His Majesty that the Yellow Turbans were raging in Jizhou, the people were displaced, and hungry people were everywhere.
Therefore, he is willing to exchange all his achievements for an imperial edict from His Majesty, hoping to exempt Jizhou from taxes for one year and alleviate the famine of the people in Jizhou.
Of course, the big shots in Luoyang City would not really erase Huangfu Song's contribution, and this matter was passed without hesitation.
When the people knew that General Huangfu Song had bought them a year, exempting them from taxes and allowing them to farm with peace of mind, they were even more grateful to him.
There have even been songs of praise.
The world is in chaos, the market has become a ruin, the mother cannot protect her son, the wife has lost her husband, and she has to rely on the emperor to live in peace.
Sing it from family to family and remember it in your heart.
Such simple people, but only insiders like Liu Bei understood that this was Huangfu Song's plan to destroy his family. He knew that this was Jizhou, where Zhang Jiao made his fortune.
The people here don't know how many people have received favors from Zhang Jiao and the Yellow Turban Dao.
He also knew that relying on Jingguan alone would not last long. If it was not handled properly, the remnants of the Yellow Turbans would continue to cause trouble here. No matter how much food and fodder the imperial court provided to support, it would be of no avail.
However, Huangfu Song could not completely massacre Jizhou, so he came up with this strategy.
Burning all the food and grass left by Zhang Jiao and other Yellow Turban bandits cut off the last chance of the people of Jizhou, but at this moment he was making a promise to the people.
After surviving this year, they will be able to recover and survive. They will be exempt from taxes for one year and can take away as much food as they plant.
This is hope. After the people have hope, who will think about following the dead Zhang Jiao to cause trouble again? Everyone can only think about one thing, and that is how to grow more food to make themselves better off next year. Some.
But in Liu Bei's opinion, how many people will starve to death in Jizhou this year!
The imperial court did not provide a single grain of food, but in exchange for a stable Jizhou, and the people had no food, even if someone wanted to cause chaos, they would be powerless.
What a manipulator, what a Huangfu Song.
It's just that even though Gongsun Zhu and others saw this, they couldn't say anything now, and they could only try to smile.
He said congratulations to Huangfu Song...
Just because Huangfu Song is really the number one hero of the Han Dynasty!
After all, the massive Yellow Turban Rebellion finally came to an end.
Among them, Huangfusong's contribution can definitely be regarded as the greatest.
Since Huangfu Song took over Guangzong's battlefield in September, Zhang Jiao died of illness and Zhang Liang took over Guangzong's defense, but Huangfu Song succeeded in a sneak attack.
Zhang Bao, who went to Quyang, held on desperately for the last month and a half, but in the end he had no way to save himself and finally died.
After the death of the three Zhang Jiao brothers, the troops and horses from various places that had responded to the Yellow Turbans suddenly died down.
Liu Pi and Gongdu fled into the mountains, disappeared and officially became a bandit.
Huang Shao fled to the Yanzhou area with He Man and He Yi, and disappeared and became a wandering bandit.
Xu, Sima Ju and others from Xuzhou rushed into Mount Tai to directly compete with the Taishan bandits for territory.
As for the direction of Qingzhou, although there is still a little chaos, it is unsustainable. Many bandits and water bandits have also taken off the yellow scarves on their heads and restored their original identities.
Zhang Yan of Montenegro formally formed an alliance with the bandits in the state, and the group entered Taihang and hid.
Relying on the large number of soldiers and horses at this time and the advantage of the terrain, it became a hard nut to crack.
At the same time, Bingzhou formed the Baibo bandits and became involved with the Huns outside the Great Wall.
If we have to talk about the Yellow Turban Bandits, there are only two of them in the world today.
One place is Sun Xia, who is confronting Wancheng with Zhu Jun, staring at each other. Even if he wants to run away, he can't.
The other one is a group of people moving around in the Bohai area.
It is said that Huang Long, Zhang Jiao's direct disciple, is continuing to cause trouble.
Someone reported that Huang Long continued to develop the Yellow Turban Way while treating people and saving lives for free, hoping to inherit Zhang Jiao's legacy.
It's just that in the final analysis, these people are just a group of guys who don't deserve to be on the stage.
But after this incident, Gongsun Zhu became a little depressed.
Because Gongsun Zhu, who was supposed to "return to his hometown with honor", can't go back now... He can't go back!
It wasn't because his way back to Youzhou was blocked by anyone, just those yellow scarf thieves who were making small troubles.
Gongsun Zhu didn't even bother to take a second look.
If he is willing, he does not need to send troops personally, he only needs to tell Zhao Yun to completely solve them.
But...he couldn't go back because Huangfu Song kept him.
Not only him, but also his "subordinates" Liu Bei and others were all retained!
Huangfu Song's reward was received, but many generals under his command had not yet completely completed their missions.
Like...waiting for your own merit.
The rewards for people such as Gongsun Zhu and the Cao Cao clan members have not yet come down, so temporarily being under the command of Huangfu Song can be regarded as a kind of comfort to them.
But there is also a big difference here.
For example, those who are related are not worried, they even have specific ideas.
We are looking for someone to entrust someone in the court to help them find a way in this regard.
And in this army... most of them are really relevant.
This is true even for Fu Xie who was born in the border area.
The Fu family in Beidi County is also famous!
As for Cao Mengde, let alone that. Not to mention the eunuchs, his father was also a first-rate favorite of the Han Dynasty.
Although he doesn't like it, it can still be said to be a lot of help in his official career.
As for the generals such as Wu Kuang and Zhang Zhang, they were directly affiliated with the capital. They were either people close to the emperor or close to the generals.
They were not worried about this at all. At this time, they had even brought the Northern Army back to the capital to wait for their rewards.
Only the land of Jizhou was really in ruins, so Gongsun Zhu and others naturally started their busy work.
From the Bohai Sea to Qingzhou, the Yellow Turban Army was still wreaking havoc.
And it was broken into pieces, making it even more difficult to deal with.
Without the yellow scarves on their heads, they completely turned into ruthless gangsters who committed all kinds of evil.
Gongsun Zhu and all the soldiers and horses under his command were forced to stay by Huangfu Song.
Gongsun Zhu was appointed by Huangfu Song to hunt down the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, the Huanglong Division. At the same time, the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou that had not given up was also within his purge...
