Yuan Shu: "In that case, the second and third brothers are still here, Jia Xu. You can follow me and send out ten thousand troops to fight against the thieves with the three generals."
"Xu Chu, Dian Wei and Cheng Yu, all matters concerning Nanyang will be left to Ju Shu and Cheng Yu before I come back."
Zhang Fei, Guan Yu: "Yes!"
Jia Xu: "I am willing to go with my lord!"
Now Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are generals under Yuan Shu. As a state pastor, Yuan Shu is fully qualified to assign them positions.
As long as he is not the Nanyang Governor, according to the laws and rules of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yuan Shu, as the Nanyang Prefecture Shepherd, is qualified to appoint officials to his subordinates.
And not only Guan Yu but also Zhang Fei, even Ju Shou, Cheng Yu and Jia Xu also had official positions. He is no longer himself, and he is still recognized by the court.
In the palace in Luoyang, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, who had now retired, began to vomit blood when he returned to his palace.
Zhang Rang and the palace maids served him carefully.
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty said in a weak voice: "Uncle, I may not be able to hold on until the time when the great Han You regains his sight."
"I can feel that my current body can't support it for much longer."
"The reason why General He was sent in just now to arrest those who colluded with the rebels was actually to disperse his military power."
"Even if he reacts now, it is already too late. I will draft an imperial edict and give it to you now. When the three generals return to the court, if I am not around, you will deliver it to them."
"Zhu'er still calls you big father. I hope you treat him well."
"Remember, don't conflict with the general again. Without my restraint, he will probably become more and more lawless."
"But this matter does not have to involve the Queen. I will also give the Queen an imperial edict so that she can listen to politics behind the curtain."
At this time, Zhang Rang could no longer cry. He had also grown up with Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty since childhood. Perhaps he also had different feelings for Han Ling Emperor, but at this moment he could only reluctantly agree to Han Ling Emperor's words.
He laid out the things used in the imperial edict on the table one by one and said, "Your Majesty, you are ready."
"Just write it. I will definitely assist the Young Emperor. As long as my old bones don't die, the Young Emperor will not be bullied by the ministers in the court."
After all, Zhang Rang could not escape the worldly troubles of seven emotions and six desires, and he could not bear to see Han Ling Emperor suffering from illness like this.
Even though he wanted to summon the imperial doctor many times, his reason still made Zhang Rang choose to shut up. He was not sure whether Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty would die in the next moment, but he knew that if there was no imperial edict to serve as the sword, then the ministers in the court would never buy his account.
Once Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty passed away, these ten permanent attendants would be no different from the imaginary ones. Because the young emperor is easily bewitched and manipulated by others at a young age, he has no independent opinion.
So at this moment, he never dared to disturb Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty who was writing the edict, so he could only help grind it aside.
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty's complexion was getting worse and worse, and his face was as pale as the white clouds in the sky.
He Jincai, who returned home from the next court, realized belatedly that his rights as a general had been eclipsed by a few words. Now all his troops had been taken away by Lu Zhi, Huangpu Song and Zhu Jun.
His position as general was no different than a false one. Thinking of this, He Jin cursed loudly: "It's really too much of a deception. All of my soldiers were taken away."
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"
He grabbed the teacup in his hand and threw it to the ground, because He Jin had never cultivated his own confidants in the army. So at this time, Huangpu and Song had already led the army out of the city, especially Lu Zhi, who had led the army more than ten miles away.
So at this time, even if He Jin reacted, it would be of no use.
Yuan Shao happened to be in Luoyang at this time, and was talking with his uncle about the Yellow Turban rebellion.
Yuan Wei: "Benchu, you should go back to Jizhou as soon as possible."
"After all, you are now the governor of Jizhou, and it is not suitable to stay in Luoyang for too long."
"Moreover, at this time you can also take the opportunity to gain some military glory in this Yellow Turban Uprising, so that your position can be more stable."
In fact, Yuan Wei wanted Yuan Shao to return to Jizhou and run that place well. As long as Yuan Shao raises an army, his position will definitely be the most stable among all the prefects in the future.
And taking this opportunity with the blessing of military merit, no one will question Yuan Shao's achievements in the future.
The most important thing is to be able to protect yourself in troubled times. After all, Yuan Shu has already told Yuan Wei about some things. Although it is still just speculation now, at least part of it has come true.
After hearing what Yuan Wei said, Yuan Shao said, "Thank you uncle for reminding me. I will set off tomorrow."
"This time, the Yellow Turban Army is just ordinary people, and everyone can easily earn military merit, so the current situation is basically one of more wolves and less meat."
"However, not everyone has the strength to raise an army. This is also my opportunity, and I hope my second brother can seize it."
In the Cao Mansion, although Cao Cao was only a seventh-grade official holding a halberd, he was also an officer with real power.
He also led 1,500 people, and at this time, the two Xiahou brothers had agreed to be Cao Cao's two generals. With their help, Cao Cao would definitely get involved, but it would definitely not be the case. Send troops now.
Cao Cao saw clearly that now was not the time. And once he leads his troops there, there is a high chance that he will be recruited by one of the three generals.
This is not the result Cao Cao wants. What he wants is an opportunity that allows him to make great contributions.
And since the number of the Yellow Turban Army is composed of common people and refugees, there are definitely a lot of people, so Cao Cao just needs to wait for the opportunity.
At this time, Julu had already been implicated in the war. Whether in the city or outside the city, there are corpses everywhere, and there is no place to stay.
And most of the people who died here were men wearing yellow scarves on their heads. Maybe this is the end of an era.
And those people wearing yellow scarves on their heads are the rebels. To be honest, they are not even worthy of the worst army, and all of them are just trying to get a full meal.
Besides, most of the people here were just used by the three Zhang Jiao brothers.
Zhang Jiao looked at all the commanders of the Yellow Turban Army and said, "I propose that the commanders of each group lead their troops into four groups."
"First of all, it can reduce the burden on the army, and as long as you attack one place each time, the loot inside can be distributed as you like."
"Whether it's food or gold and silver, it all belongs to you, but I have only one condition. When the army destroys Luoyang in the future, you must pay my order."
A general said: "General, how will we be distributed that day?"
"And how can we control the people under our command?"
Zhang Jiao: "I, General Di Gong and General Ren Gong will jointly lead an army of 200,000 people, and the remaining canal commanders will take away part of the troops."
"And you can replenish troops through the captured counties along the way."
To be honest, Zhang Jiao is not that kind at all. And these few of Qu Shuai's truly powerful people are all under his command.
These so-called Qu Shuai are just chips abandoned by Zhang Jiao. When the time comes, the troops led by these people will definitely be targeted and eliminated by the imperial army first because they are not that large in number.
After all, they are too weak, and they are not fully developed yet, so they are also the easiest to deal with.
Although Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang didn't know what their elder brother had planned, they did not stop him. And they now also enjoy the feeling of being inferior to one person and superior to thousands of people.
And whenever they enter or leave the camp, the refugees greeting them appear in front of them. What an honor this is, which greatly satisfies their self-esteem.
Later, Zhang Jiao did ask the selected Qu Shuai to lead some people to leave, but the remaining people were still led by Zhang Jiao and his two younger brothers.
At this moment in Nanyang, Yuan Shu had just said goodbye to his two wives and children. He is leading a team of troops to defeat the Yellow Turban Army, and by the way, he also wants to improve his reputation at this time.
This will also facilitate the things he has to do in the future, and he also asked Cheng Yu and others who were guarding Nanyang to accept the refuge of some refugees.
These people are the most important step for Yuan Shu to build a good reputation, and now Yuan Shu is not short of money at all. Since they had known for a long time that the Yellow Turban Uprising would occur, people from various states and counties had already withdrawn.
Now only Nanyang and Jizhou still have Yuan Shu's industry, but the annual profits are also astonishingly high.
In particular, food and grass are what Yuan Shu lacks most, and now Yuan Shu can be said to have strong troops and horses, but he just lacks an opportunity.
Big brother: "You are still wise. If I hadn't brought my family to Nanyang in advance, I might be worried in Zhuojun now."
After Zhang Fei finished speaking, Yuan Shu immediately said: "I didn't think about it that much myself. I just wanted to take good care of everyone's families."
"And you and I are both brothers, so why worry about so many things."
Regarding his brothers, Yuan Shu is still relatively good. And even for people like Jia Xu, Yuan Shu admired him very much.
Bringing Jia Xu out this time was also to avoid other situations. Therefore, having a counselor by your side will make you feel more at ease, and Jia Xu's talents are indeed extraordinary.
Moreover, before Yuan Shu arrived in Nanyang, everything here was in order by Jia Xu and Cheng Yu Dali.
