Chapter 154 Guangzong after the war
At the foot of Guangzong City, Zhang Liang was shot to death by Liu Cang during the chaos. Zhang Jiao died of illness, Guangzong City was destroyed, and the army entered the city to attack Guangzong.
Because of the sudden death of Zhang Jue, before the officers and soldiers entered the city, the Yellow Turbans had already dispersed in the city. Yellow Turbans were suppressed in various places one after another. Some wanted to fight to the death, some wanted to surrender, and some wanted to withdraw their troops and look for the general to reorganize the army.
Huangfu Song led his troops into the city, and the officers and soldiers annihilated the Yellow Turbans in Guangzong City. When Guangzong was stabilized, Huangfu Song drove the surrendering Yellow Turbans to pursue the defeated Yellow Turban troops who retreated towards Julu.
When they first joined the army, especially after Huangfu Song made a speech about atonement for his general service, many surrendered generals seemed to see the opportunity to change their lives. They called on their old troops to brutally pursue and kill the defeated Yellow Turban soldiers.
The number of Yellow Turbans is too large and it is easy to defeat them, but surrendering and escorting them is very risky.
Huangfu Song's main force defended Guangzong's entire army, and 10,000 Yellow Turban troops surrendered to fight with the defeated Yellow Turban troops thirty miles north of Guangzong City.
The Yellow Turbans defeated more than 70,000 troops, but unfortunately more than 60,000 of them were old, weak, women and children.
The Yellow Turbans, who had first gained official status, surrendered and defeated those who intercepted them. Later, they caught up with the Yellow Turbans who were fleeing north on the banks of the Zhang River.
They were said to be defeated, but among them were a large number of old, weak, women and children without weapons. There was also a large amount of baggage that had been consigned out of the city. There were tens of thousands of carriages in a row.
In the face of these Yellow Turbans, the surrendered soldiers who had obtained the status of officers and soldiers were ruthless. Now these people have become their atonement military merit. Instead of surrendering, this military merit is obviously not as real as killing the enemy.
The killings began, and many of the defeated Yellow Turban soldiers were forced into the river to flee. Many of them drowned, and all their accompanying baggage was destroyed. When the pursuers returned to the city with their achievements and resumed their lives, not a single Yellow Turban was left among the ten who fled north.

Guangzong recovered, and the heads of Zhang Jiao, Zhang Liang and some Yellow Turban generals were taken into custody by Yanzhi.
Liu Cang also dragged the 'Southern China Old Immortal', who had his limbs and joints removed and was limp, back to the camp to rest.
In a chaotic battle, Liu Cang gained quite a lot. The vanguard broke through the city and entered the city, killing ten yellow turban generals headed by Zhang Liang.
These military achievements were all recorded and reported by Huangfu Song, and except for a living "Southern China Old Immortal", Zhang Liang's horses and weapons also became Liu Cang's war profits.
The famous horse Shali Fei was kept by Liu Cang for himself, and a long sword made of meteorite iron was given to Xu Qun. The war horse that Liu Cang had snatched from the city earlier was actually a famous horse. This horse was much more famous than Shali Fei.
Yes, but it’s Lu from Mingju.
When he went out to fight the Yellow Turbans, Liu Cang harvested three famous horses. The dragon and bird were powerful and fast. They were good at flying in the sand and walking in the mud, and Lu Shan was good at leaping and running.
Except that Lu is a mare, after the battle between Longque and Shali Fei, they will probably reach the peak of their horse life and usher in the destiny of stallion.
The money and silk fabrics in Guangzong's treasury have basically been emptied by the Yellow Turbans, but perhaps Zhang Jiao wanted to use this place as the foundation of the Yellow Turbans. Among them, there are more than 30 kilograms of gold bricks and more than a thousand kilograms of meteorite iron.
Liu Cang and Xia Houdun each took a hundred gold bricks and a hundred catties of meteorite iron, and handed the rest to Huangfu Song, waiting for distribution among the army.
In the first battle of Guangzong, Liu Cang became famous, and his cavalrymen joined the troops cleaning the battlefield under the name of Liu Cang.
Perhaps because the Yellow Turbans encouraged the troops with gold, the battlefield was rich, and Liu Cang's men collected at least thousands of gold, and at most more than ten thousand.
Everyone collected half of the money and handed it over to Liu Cang, while the rest was their own private property.
Coupled with the several martial arts books in the city lord's palace, Liu Cang's cavalry were also equipped with cloth bags wrapped around their waists and shoulders when they gained a lot.
The harvest is really not small, and this does not include the rewards that should be given to the troops after the war.
However, after Liu Cang struggled a lot, the subsequent battle basically had nothing to do with him.
He has made enough achievements along the way, and Huangfu Song will never let him show off again unless absolutely necessary. This is a taboo.
Guangzong City is no better than other cities. Guangzong and Xiaquyang are regarded by Zhang Jiao as the foundation of the Yellow Turban to defend Julu.
After the disaster caused by the Yellow Turbans, there were no more ordinary people in Guangzong City.
Guangzong did not want to follow the thieves and all the people had been massacred by the Yellow Turbans. According to rough estimates, the Yellow Turbans massacred more than 150,000 people in Guangzong.
A big city cannot be without people living in it. There are villages and tribes in the outer city and suburbs of the city.
Just like Luoyang, the inner city and outer city can even gather millions of people at times.
Nowadays, Guangzong is like a ghost land. There are seven corpse pits in the outer city. Huangfu Song does not even dare to order excavation and inspection. The calculation of the 150,000 massacred people is beautified and does not need to be elaborated.
Huangfu Song has reported to the imperial court that he wants to destroy Guangzong's city and rebuild it at a different location.
The Yellow Turban Uprising, what it did and what it did, can be inferred without recording history, was a 'great' 'peasant uprising'.
Huangfu Song's tribe settled in the ghost city, intending to suppress the souls of the dead. Incense was burned throughout the city all day long. The army rested for three days, but every battalion was filled with murderous intent.
In Liu Cang's tent, all the generals gathered again, and Hua Tuo was also among them.
Hua Tuo was busy in the army for two days. Military doctors now respected him, and Hua Tuo's name gradually spread among Huangfu Song's army.
At this time, Hua Tuo was frowning and looking at a thin silk scroll, while Liu Cang was playing with a purple gold token that he got from Zhang Jiao.
In the center of the camp, the old immortal from South China, whose shoulders and ankle joints had been removed, was still tied up on the ground.
Except for Dian Wei, who was expressionless, everyone in the tent looked at Huanan with curiosity in their eyes.
"This method may be feasible and can be a branch of today's medical theory. It mainly targets the damp and warm evil in the south. It may also have some miraculous effects on warm epidemics." Li Cang played with the purple gold token, while Hua Tuo held the silk cloth and stroked Liu's beard.
Cang said.
"Card it!" There was a soft sound of metal, and Liu Cang saw a hidden slot on the token in his hand.
Pulling out a piece of silk again, Liu Cang glanced at it briefly and handed it to Hua Tuo.
"Hot and damp and warm evil? Isn't that just febrile disease?" Liu Cang frowned and thought to himself, has febrile disease been discovered so early?
"Well, according to the medical discipline of Internal Medicine that Young Master is divided into, there are prescriptions for febrile diseases, but he is a side doctor and is not enough to achieve enlightenment. This secret record is a bit exaggerated." Hua Tuo nodded for a while and shook his head for a while.
"This is the way created by me. How dare you, an ignorant junior, speak nonsense!" Hua Tuo said and Liu Cang nodded silently, but Hua Nan, who was still on the ground, refused.
It was said that the thin silk that Liu Cang took out from the purple gold token was actually the Art of Taiping. According to Huanan, Zhang Jiao stole it from him. It was said that it contained great knowledge that could be passed down from generation to generation. Liu Cang curiously took it out.
When I came out, the results were full of disappointment, and they seemed to be medical records.
"How dare you, a wanderer, speak nonsense?" After hearing Hua Nan's retort, Hua Tuo raised the thin silk in his hand that Liu Cangxin handed him.
"Look what kind of prescriptions you have here? They are all medicines for the rich and healthy, but they can also cure the sick." Hua Tuo asked disdainfully.
"Oh? Is this thing useful?" Liu Cang asked Hua Tuo before Hua Nan could say anything else.
"Um.
Most of the medicinal materials used are hard to obtain by ordinary people, such as rhinoceros horn, deer antlers, tiger bones, and purple ginseng. They can probably be used by people who are healthy and healthy, but they are not a cure for diseases." Hua Tuo frowned and thought for a moment, then replied.
"As long as it works, keep it for now. Come back and find some people to try the medicine." Liu Cang said with a smile.
"I don't have time to refine my medical skills, so you can just find any doctor to figure this out for two days." Hua Tuo was disgusted, and all the people in South China on the ground stared and grinded their teeth.
"Card it!" Another purple gold token was taken away by Liu Cang.
Taking out the thin silk, Liu Cang took a quick look, and his eyes widened.
"Hahahaha, I can understand the skills of the old Taoist, and I will be able to break free of the shackles quickly. The old Taoist can explain it to you in detail." Li Li raised his head, and when Hua Nan saw Liu Cang's expression was different, he burst out laughing.
His Taiping skills are not just medical skills. Medical skills are a small way, followed by the science of governing the world.
