Chapter 70

"Su Boyuan, General Gongwei and I are preparing to split into two paths. Wentai and Mengde are both preparing to go with General General Gongwei to Yuzhou, Runan... and other commanderies to suppress the rebellion;"

"I am preparing to continue clearing the Yellow Turbans in the commanderies of Yanzhou. Why don't you come with me?"

During the meeting to discuss sending troops, General Huangfu Song looked at Su Xuan and invited him.

"Oh?"

Su Xuan heard this and looked at Cao Cao with some surprise.

He didn't expect this guy to run off to mix with Zhu Jun.

"Hehe!"

Cao Cao seemed to see Su Xuan's thoughts and immediately laughed: "If I go with you, I won't be able to compete with you for merit, so I'd better go with General Zhu Jun and Brother Wentai!"

It's for the sake of merit! It's not shameful!

"Understood!"

Su Xuan nodded with a smile and turned to General Huangfu Song: "Since the General thinks highly of me, I will go with you!"

Staying in Yanzhou is also fine.

It just so happens that he wanted to see if he could meet Cheng Yu; he remembered that Cheng Yu was in Dong'e, Dong Commandery, leading officials and people to resist the Yellow Turban Army at this point in time.

Cheng Yu's background was not high, and he had a very urgent desire to serve; with his current status and position, subduing him shouldn't be difficult.

In addition, he was also preparing to find an opportunity to go to Qiaoxian, Pei State.

To see if he could find and subdue Xu Chu.

"Haha! Good!"

General Huangfu Song laughed heartily: "With your help, Su Boyuan, I believe we will soon be able to pacify the Yellow Turbans in Yanzhou."

"Let's stop here! Everyone, go and prepare!"

As he spoke, General Huangfu Song stood up and said to Su Xuan: "We set off in an hour, gather at the east gate, any problems?"

"No!"

Su Xuan shook his head.

An hour later, he led his army to rendezvous with General Huangfu Song as promised, and then entered Chenliu Commandery to begin clearing the remaining Yellow Turbans in Yanzhou.

In Yingyin,

The day after the war in Changshe ended, Xun Shuang received the victory report sent by Su Xuan's men.

"Haha!"

After listening to the words conveyed by the secret guard as a messenger and reading Su Xuan's personal letter, Xun Shuang laughed heartily, handed the letter to Xun Cai, who was looking on eagerly, and immediately asked the secret guard about the specific process of the battle.

The secret guard truthfully told all the information that could be said.

"Good! Very good!"

Xun Shuang praised: "Su Boyuan uses troops like a god and already has his own methods!"

"No wonder he could perform such great merit in such a short time!"

"You can go back and tell Su Boyuan that I will use my connections to do my best to request merit for him and strive for benefits!"

"In addition, since he has already fulfilled the agreement with me, his marriage to Cai'er should be settled!"

"I will write the marriage contract later, and you take it back to him;"

"Also, I will send people to Dengxian, Nanyang, to discuss it with his parents;"

"He doesn't need to worry about this matter; his parents and I will arrange everything!"

"He only needs to pay attention to his own safety outside;"

"Never be careless on the battlefield. When he returns in triumph, we will officially put his marriage to Cai'er on the agenda."

He actually wanted to set a specific date now.

But this was clearly not realistic.

Who knew how long the suppression of the rebellion would take?

Judging from the current situation, the defeat of the Yellow Turban Army was only a matter of time, but it was unclear how long it would take.

Therefore, they could only wait for Su Xuan to return before determining the wedding date.

"Understood!"

The secret guard immediately accepted: "I will convey it truthfully."

"The General is truly amazing!"

Xun Cai also finished reading the letter at this time, praised with glowing eyes, and then couldn't help but ask the secret guard with some worry: "The war is so intense, the General wasn't injured, was he?"

"No!"

The secret guard immediately shook his head: "With the lord's strength, plus the assistance of General Old Dian Wei and the others, and the blessing of the military formation, it is basically difficult to be injured, so please rest assured."

"Hmm!"

Xun Cai breathed a sigh of relief, nodded happily, took a sachet from her bosom, handed it to the secret guard, and instructed: "Give this to the General for me, and tell him that I am waiting for him in Yingyin."

"Understood!"

The secret guard immediately accepted.

Luoyang,

Jia Yi once again brought 2 million coins and two glass vessels to Zhang Rang's residence.

He brought Su Xuan's greetings and requests.

Zhang Rang naturally accepted the benefits and agreed to the matter.

"Hahaha!"

The Son of Heaven received the victory report from Changshe and naturally couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He was extremely happy.

"Good! Good!"

The Son of Heaven shouted loudly: "Su Xuan is worthy of being a brave general I favored and promoted; he has given me another big surprise;"

"Not only did he help lift the siege of Changshe, but he also burned away 400,000 Yellow Turban troops with one fire, killed Bo Cai, and defeated the Yellow Turbans in Yanzhou;"

"In this way, the crisis in Luoyang is resolved!"

"Afterwards, as long as we wipe out the three Zhang brothers in Jizhou, the Yellow Turban Army won't be able to make any big waves, haha!"

Liu Hong had no reason not to be happy.

Heaven knows that when Bo Cai besieged Changshe, he couldn't eat or sleep in peace.

There was no way; Changshe was simply too close to Luoyang.

It could be said it was less than half a day's journey.

Like a thorn in his back.

Now, this threat was finally resolved.

"Father Rang, tell me, how should I reward him?"

Liu Hong asked Zhang Rang on the side happily.

Zhang Rang immediately said: "Thunder and rain are all grace; Your Majesty can reward him as you wish!"

"Your servant congratulates Your Majesty. Commandant Su, as a brave general promoted by Your Majesty, is naturally at odds with the Lord Yuan clan and has no big background behind him, so he can only follow Your Majesty wholeheartedly; there is no need to worry about him having two hearts;"

"Now, the Grand General is powerful and controls almost all the military power in Luoyang; this Su Xuan can be used as Your Majesty's arm."

Although Zhang Rang said it should be decided by Liu Hong, his analysis clearly explained Su Xuan's situation to Liu Hong.

Liu Hong's eyes lit up: "Indeed! Su Xuan has no foundation in the court and was promoted by me waving my hand against all opposition;"

"Last time the Lord Yuan clan offended him, he couldn't stand on the Lord Yuan clan's side, which is a good thing;"

"Since that's the case, I will appoint him as the General of the Middle Army to Suppress Thieves, commanding 20,000 troops, to continue helping me pacify the Yellow Turban rebellion."

Liu Hong understood that tomorrow in the court, his announcement of the appointment of Su Xuan would inevitably be opposed by many people.

But the more this was the case, the more he had to make this appointment.

In this way, not only could he disgust the great noble families led by the Lord Yuan clan and the Grand General He Jin.

But he could also isolate Su Xuan, making him naturally excluded by other forces, and he could only rely on him, the Emperor.

Only then could he use Su Xuan with peace of mind and promote Su Xuan with peace of mind.

Don't really think he has no brain; he is very smart.

"Your Majesty is wise!"
