Two hundred and fifty-nine

The battle lasted from morning to sunset, and from sunset to dawn the next day, and the Yellow Turbans were largely routed.

After losing the unified command, the Yellow Turban Army surrendered in large quantities, and the county seat of Fanxian County was also directly captured, and all the families of the Yellow Turban Army in the city were captured and became trophies.

Before the war, Guo Peng strictly ordered that prisoners of war should not be killed without permission, including the families of the Yellow Turban Army in the city.

The rules of the Qingzhou Army, there is no order not to steal property privately and leave the battle formation, and there is a reward after the war, and if there is a transgression during the war, it will be beheaded directly.

After the city was broken through, Guo Peng immediately ordered Cao Chun and Xu Chu to bring the guards to the city to maintain order.

After that, Guo Peng ordered the spoils of war and battle losses to be counted, and ordered to search for those who surrendered to the Yellow Turban Army as officers, and put them all together to be executed.

The main force of the Yellow Turban Army in Fan County was destroyed, and the threat of the Yellow Turban Army in Renchengguo no longer existed, and only a Yellow Turban Army in Ningyang County, Dongping State remained.

They are isolated, they are about to be attacked from two sides, they have no hope of survival, and their destruction is inevitable.

The ending is also positive.

After taking Fan County, Guo Peng sent Guan Yu to lead the army to the north to cooperate with Cao Ren to take Ningyang County and completely destroy the Yellow Turban Army.

Under the coordination of Xi Zhong, Cao Ren, Yu Ban and Le Jin each exerted their abilities to defeat the Yellow Turban Army in Ningyang County, completely wiped it out, captured more than 100,000 men and women, and completed the task assigned to them by Guo Peng.

Then the dust settled.

At this point, Zhongping originated in Xuzhou in the fifth year, and the Qingxu Yellow Turban Army, which set off the peak of the second Yellow Turban Uprising in Xuzhou, Qingzhou and Yanzhou, was completely wiped out and ceased to exist, and the leaders were wiped out by Guo Peng.

But that doesn't mean the Yellow Turbans have failed.

There is still a scale of the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army in the world, and there are still three left: the Baibo Yellow Turban in Guanzhong, the Black Mountain Yellow Turban in Hebei and the Yellow Turban in Yuzhou.

Their power and scale can be compared with the Qingxu Yellow Turban Army, and they have lasted for a long time, becoming a thorn in the side of the local separatist warlord forces.

And there are many bandits who are actually robbing houses under the banner of yellow turbans all over the world.

Guo Peng exterminated the Qingxu Yellow Turban Army, which had the best development momentum, and obtained a large number of people and materials, capturing nearly 300,000 people.

The policy is still the same as in the past, tuntian and joining the army, and the ownerless land is returned to the government and used by the tuntian.

The captured population was dispersed into households and reorganized into households, randomly sent to counties for resettlement, and land was granted for tuning, and households were resettled on the land, so as to stabilize the local situation.

In a short period of time, the chaotic Yanzhou county was restored to stability after the war.

At the same time, Guo Peng successfully joined the Yanzhou soldiers of Bao Xin and Ying Shao, and officially solved the problem of the Yellow Turban in Yanzhou.

Then the ecstatic two were respectfully welcomed to Puyang County, Dongjun, which is also the seat of Yanzhou's state governance.

Some upper-class figures in Yanzhou collectively thanked Guo Peng for his help, held a banquet to entertain Guo Peng, and invited Guo Peng to take a seat, and there was a burst of joy.

After three rounds of wine, Bao Xin, on behalf of the people attending the banquet, brought out a tray with the Yanzhou Thorn History Seal and presented it to Guo Peng.

"Thanks to the general's help, Yanzhou's fathers and elders can be preserved, if it is not for the general's troops, Yanzhou may be broken by the yellow scarf, the general has the grace of rebuilding in Yanzhou, we are willing to serve the general as the lord of Yanzhou, and the general is willing to protect the Yanzhou father and elder, so that they will not suffer from the disaster of the army."

Guo Peng pretended to be stunned, not knowing why.

"This ...... Why is that? ”

"The general is good at fighting, if there is chaos today, Liu Yanzhou is dead, Yanzhou has no owner, we are suffering from the scourge of the Yellow Turban, if it is not for the general to lead the army to help, we will have nowhere to go, the general knows kindness, we keep it in mind, I wish the general is the lord of Yanzhou, and Yanzhou will be safe."

Ying Shao took a step forward and saluted Guo Peng.

"No, the lord of Yanzhou should be appointed by the imperial court, Peng is only at the request of you, leading the army to help, and the matter will be returned immediately, return to Qingzhou, how dare you be the lord of Yanzhou?"

Guo Peng shook his head again and again.

"The general's words are wrong."

Bao Xin took a step forward and said eagerly: "The imperial court has long been occupied by Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo's name is Han Xiangguo, but he is actually a Han thief, and his name is the emperor's edict, but in fact it is Dong Zhuo's selfish desires, how can we accept Dong Zhuo's appointment to govern Yanzhou?" ”

"This ...... This is not unreasonable, but, after all, it is the imperial court, it is His Majesty the Emperor, I ......"

Guo Peng was a little hesitant.

"General, Dong Zhuo controls the imperial court, the emperor is just a puppet who obeys orders, the general rebels against Dong Zhuo, and the hero is the world, is it that at this time, there is no distinction between right and wrong, and he is controlled by Dong Zhuo?"

Ying Shao further persuaded Guo Peng.

"Peng naturally won't be manipulated by Dong Zhuo, but is there something wrong with this matter?"

Guo Peng's face was still a little hesitant.

"What's wrong? The general pacified the chaos for Yanzhou, the father of Yanzhou was mainly the general, and asked the general to protect Yanzhou, which is a matter of course, and now the imperial court is occupied by Dong Zhuo, we have no choice but to wait, in the future, the crusade against Dong Zhuo will be successful, and then the general will go to the court to decide this matter, isn't it the best way? ”

Bao Xin persuaded again.

This time, Guo Peng hesitated again and again and did not refuse.

"That being the case, Peng is willing to protect the father and elder of Yanzhou until the crusade against Dong Zhuo is successful and the world is restored to stability."

Bao Xin and Ying Shao were overjoyed, Bao Xin immediately stepped forward to present the Assassin Seal Ribbon to Guo Peng, Guo Peng couldn't bear the joy in his heart, took the Seal Ribbon, took a deep look, and then returned the Assassin Seal Ribbon to Bao Xin.

"Bao Jun has the country in his heart, is he loyal, brave and pure, isn't he the best candidate for Yanzhou Assassination? Peng is willing to go to the table, and Bao Jun is the history of Yanzhou Thorn. ”

Guo Peng's unexpected behavior surprised everyone present, and after Bao Xin's brief surprise, he admired Guo Peng even more in his heart.

"How dare you be an assassin if you believe in Numa's assets?"

"If Bao Jun is Numa, is there still a thousand miles in the world?"

Guo Peng smiled and handed the scarf to Bao Xin.

Bao Xin opened his mouth, leaned less, and reached out to take the scarf of the thorn seal.

"The letter will live up to the general's expectations."

Ying Shao on the side saw it, his mind turned a thousand times, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, and bowed to Guo Peng: "General Gaoyi, he is really the lord of Yanzhou!" We are willing to jointly sign a table, and the general will supervise the military of Qingyan and the two states, and I hope that the general will not shirk. ”

When Bao Xin heard this, he immediately followed suit.

"May the general not shirk!"

A group of people behind him bowed together: "May the general not shirk!" ”

Guo Peng's heart was settled, and he sighed that this group of people was really good at being people, so he looked moved and said: "How can Peng He De, he can get such trust from all the kings, well, Peng promised you that he will protect the Yanzhou fathers and elders from the disaster of the soldiers!" ”

Guo Peng straightened his appearance and bowed to the people opposite, and everyone returned the salute.

Between the staggered plots, the division of power between the lord of Yanzhou and Yanzhou was determined.
