Chapter Seventeen Eastern Han Philanthropist Zhang Miao
System: Congratulations to the lord for killing the Yellow Turban Qushuai [Peng Tuo] and activating the new achievement [Yellow Turban Mainstay]
[Yellow Turban Mainstay]: Kill the Yellow Turban Army's Dafang Qushuai: Zhang Mancheng, Bo Cai, Peng Tuo, Bu Si, and the reward achievement will be 20,000 points.
Peng Tuo was beheaded and the Yellow Turban was defeated.
The sudden change made it difficult for both Zhang Miao and Zhang Su to believe it.
Zhang Miao stood at the top of the city and saw clearly what had just happened. A group of cavalry charged in from the rear. They fought against Peng Tuo's layers of defense and charged in with overwhelming force.
Then, there was no more.
Peng Tuo was killed with one blow, and the other yellow scarves knelt down one after another, receding like the tide.
When he saw that there were still people alive in Zhang Su's battle circle, he felt a glimmer of hope in his heart.
Zhang Sunai is the most outstanding member of the younger generation of the Zhang family. The clan wants him to follow him and learn how to explain to his ancestors if he has any shortcomings.
Zhang Su crawled out from the pile of dead people and looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief.
I'm still alive and we won?
In order to break out of the encirclement, one thousand of his cavalry fought desperately toward Chenliu County, but there were too many Yellow Turbans. In the end, the cavalry, horses, and Yellow Turban troops were all squeezed into a pot of porridge.
Zhang Su raised his eyes and looked around, watching his colleagues getting up one by one, but there were too few.
A thousand people! Only these survived.
If the Yellow Turbans don't stop, they won't survive.
On the other side, Liu Qing's cavalry were urging the troops to surrender and cleaning the battlefield.
He classified the weapons into categories. He was not interested in wooden sticks or bamboo poles, but some iron and bronze items were still valuable, not to mention weapons.
There are also war horses, whether they belong to the Yellow Turban Army or Chen Liu, put them away first and then take them away!
Tian Feng stepped forward and looked at Zhang Su with a half-smile.
Zhang Su raised his head and looked at the person in front of him. Although he was wearing dark brown rough clothes that did not look noble, his cleanliness was incompatible with the chaotic and bloody scene of the battlefield. In addition, he had a knot tied on his head, so he was obviously a scribe.
It is not difficult to imagine that he is the commander of this battle.
Zhang Su immediately saluted. He was injured and his posture was crooked and awkward.
"General, don't be too polite. Please see Zhang Mengzhuo." Tian Feng said with a smile.
"Sir, do you recognize my uncle?"
At this time, a call came from the outside, "Su'er!"
"Uncle, stay here!" Zhang Su responded with difficulty, seeming to have lost all the energy to shout.
Zhang Miao arrived, helped Zhang Su, and then looked at Tian Feng, very surprised.
"Tian Yuanhao! Didn't you resign and go back to your hometown?"
"Zhang Mengzhuo is here well!"
"Why did you lead your troops here?" Zhang Miao asked.
"I came here with my lord. He wanted to rush to help Yingchuan, but unexpectedly ran into your Chenliu battlefield first."
Tian Feng casually gave him a reason, but he couldn't tell him that Liu Qing planned all this.
"Lord?" Zhang Miao was confused. Is there someone else behind Tian Feng?
"That's it!" Tian Feng pointed at Liu Qing, who was busy directing the troops and horses.
This... Zhang Miao was a little stunned. This is Chen Liu's horse!
Well, that's it, I was completely defeated. If he hadn't arrived in time, not only the horse would be gone, but also the people would be gone, and Chen Liu would also be in danger.
That horse did not belong to Chen Liu, but he captured it from the Yellow Turban Army.
After thinking about it this way, Zhang Miao felt much relieved.
"Su'er, come with me to see your benefactor!" Zhang Miao said.
Zhang Miao supported Zhang Su and came to Liu Qing's side. Upon seeing this, Liu Qing quickly dismounted.
"Zhang Miao, the governor of Chenliu County, thank you so much, general, for leading your troops to our aid!"
"Zhang Su thanks the general for saving his life."
The uncle and nephew spoke one after another.
"Prefect Zhang, you're welcome. The purpose of the expedition was to help Yingchuan. Now that Chen Liu is in a hurry, there's no reason why he shouldn't come."
"I really didn't expect that Peng Tuo would take a desperate risk and attack Chen Liu. Moreover, the Yellow Turban's power was beyond my expectation. Fortunately, with the help of the general, Peng Tuo was killed and Chen Liu's danger was relieved. Miao will report to the court and ask for credit for the general!"
Liu Qing did not refuse. This name would appear in the court sooner or later. As for the court's response, he did not care.
"In that case, I would like to thank the prefect. However, this battle was not the result of Qing alone. I hope the prefect will not forget the bloodshed." Liu Qing looked at Zhang Su and said these words, and the meaning was obvious.
Zhang Miao couldn't understand what he meant. It was just to let his nephew show his face and get some credit, so that his future career would be smoother. This was also an old routine of aristocratic families.
Zhang Miao suddenly remembered something important and even forgot to ask the other person's name. Alas, he was a little dizzy.
"I haven't asked the general for his name yet."
"Liu Qing, nicknamed Tianzhu, the prefect should have heard of it!"
Liu Tianzhu! The orphan of King Bohai! Zhang Miao was shocked! How could he not know that the storm more than ten years ago was so great? He didn't expect that the child who survived the storm was already so old.
Moreover, he was born with a majestic spirit and had the appearance of a general.
"Miao knows, the general is really like a dragon and a phoenix!"
"There is an emergency in Yingchuan. Qing took a short rest and then went to support. I will take thousands of the Yellow Turban captives away, and the rest will be left to the prefect. However, Qing had something to say first. Most of them were bewitched by Taiping Dao.
The poor people must not be killed and hope that the eunuch will find a way for them to survive."
Who would want to rebel by taking a dead end when there is a way to survive?
Historically, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion was put down, the imperial court of the Han Dynasty did not change at all. Those who still built gardens continued to build gardens. When they ran out of money, they continued to sell their offices. Those who bought them continued to squeeze the people's fat. The people at the bottom still couldn't survive, so they went to the other side again.
The path of rebellion.
"I admire the general's benevolence and righteousness!"
Zhang Miao deeply agreed with what Liu Qing said.
It was also because he understood this that Liu Qing said these words to him. Zhang Miao was known for his chivalry, helping the poor and helping others, even to the point of losing his entire family. He was known as the "Eight Chefs".
It is no exaggeration to say that he was a philanthropist of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Now that tens of thousands of people were thrown at him all at once, it would undoubtedly make things worse for Zhang Miao, who was not already wealthy. Fortunately, Chenliu County was relatively wealthy and had a high grain output, so Zhang Miao should be able to cope with it.
After settling the prisoners, Liu Qing no longer had any worries. He was reassured by Zhang Miao's character.
Zhang Miao invited Liu Qing to come to Chenliu to rest, but Liu Qing declined. What he needs to do now is to quickly pack up his things and leave!
If I remember correctly, the next step should be the battle of Changshe.
"Uncle, our horse." On the way back to the city, Zhang Su said unwillingly. A war horse costs at least ten thousand yuan, but that's tens of millions of dollars!
"Su'er, he saved your life. Without him, you would have perished in the city." Zhang Miao said helplessly, he was also heartbroken.
Not to mention the loss of soldiers and horses, there was no benefit at all, but he lost tens of thousands of surrendered soldiers. He also earned a reputation for benevolence and righteousness. The more Zhang Miao calculated, the more he suffered.
Liu Qing packed up and set off, bringing thousands of troops to escort the supplies. He first returned to Yuxian County.
I forgot my sword there, I need to get it!
"Lord, this man insists on seeing you, saying that he knows many secrets of Peng Tuo." Zhao Yundao said.
Liu Qing took a look at the person who came. He was a dark and skinny boy, wrapped in a dirty gray jacket, but his hair was tied up very neatly with a yellow scarf. He must have just grown up.
A pair of dark eyes also looked at Liu Qing without any timidity.
"What's your name?" Liu Qing asked.
The thin black boy looked at Liu Qing in surprise.
"You asked for my name?"
"if not?"
"Caomin Luo Ku, Chen Guo Ningping, pay my respects to the general!"
After saying that, he also saluted Liu Qing.
Liu Qing felt curious that a thin, dark boy, elegant and not timid, even saluted him.
"You said you know Peng Tuo's secret?"
Luo Ku nodded.
"What's the secret?"
"What secret does the general want to know?"
Liu Qing was stunned by this question, and he couldn't help but smile, "You know a lot of secrets?"
Luo Ku nodded again.
"What do you want?" Liu Qing asked directly.
The other party's intention was already obvious. He openly told himself that he had many secrets, so naturally he wouldn't just do it to survive.
Because Liu Qing had already let them go.
"I want to live!" Luo Ku said seriously.
Chapter completed!
