Han Shimou

As the soldiers Cao Hong and Xiahou brothers continued to approach, the number of Ma Yuanyi's subordinates became smaller and smaller, and finally there were dozens of people left. Because they could not bear the cruel torture like a slow fire, they chose to draw their swords and commit suicide.Before he died, he shouted loudly with one voice, the slogan of the Yellow Turban Sect.

"The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world will be prosperous!"

"Hmph, a group of ants who are so stupid and lost their hearts, dare to judge the world before they die, it's really not a pity to die."

Cao Hong's face was covered with the blood of Ma Yuanyi's subordinates, and he was about to rush to kill the last dozens of people, when he heard them yelling, he immediately slayed himself, his killing enthusiasm was greatly reduced, and he spit thick phlegm at the dead bodies.

On the other side of the grassland, Tang Zhou and his henchmen with less than ten disabled soldiers did not take advantage of the chaos to escape just now.Tang Zhou was clear in his heart that there must be a reason why these court soldiers did not chase them to death.However, if Tang Zhou and his group wanted to take advantage of the chaos and escape, they would immediately be hunted down by them.It is obvious that it is impossible for a pair of feet to run over these court soldiers on horseback.

Not to mention, Tang Zhou was seriously injured and couldn't run fast.

Tang Zhou watched as Ma Yuanyi's men, who had a total of 2000 men, were killed by the court soldiers of about 1000 in just half an hour.His complexion kept changing, and finally he muttered in his heart lonely.

"How strong are the soldiers and horses of the imperial court? Within half an hour, Ma Yuanyi's two thousand men were wiped out by the thousand court cavalry without any effort. If every soldier and horse of the imperial court is as brave and good at fighting as this cavalry I'm afraid... the great virtuous teacher's uplifting will be a dream."

Tang Zhou was thinking in his heart, and suddenly found that his sleeve had been pulled by someone, and he came back to his senses.

"I am Yilang of the great Han, Cao Cao, Cao Mengde. You are the Yellow Turban teacher, Tang Zhou?"

Just as Tang Zhou came back to his senses, he first saw a man riding a pitch-black and shiny horse, which he knew at first glance to be a rare horse with thousands of miles of horses in the world.This man's eyes were piercing, as if he could see through people's hearts. After Tang Zhou looked at him for a while, he felt as if he had been stripped of his clothes and had nothing to hide.

Afterwards, hearing this man's question again, Tang Zhou's heart was shocked, and he quickly knelt down.

"Sinner Tang Zhou, please meet Cao Yilang."

Tang Zhou was a smart man, and he quickly understood a lot. It was definitely not accidental that a court army suddenly appeared at this time and place.Tang Zhou almost guessed half of the truth. He guessed that the news of the Yellow Turban Sect's collusion with the Luoyang eunuch had leaked out, but Tang Zhou didn't know how much the man with the piercing eyes in front of him knew about the Yellow Turban Sect.But at the very least, this man must know that the Yellow Turban Sect has become a threat to the imperial court.

"Oh, sinner? Why are you so guilty?"

When Cao Cao heard Tang Zhou admit that he was a sinner, his eyes narrowed instantly, and he had some appreciation for Tang Zhou in his heart, secretly thinking that he was a smart man.

"Tang Zhou is guilty, but the matter is of great importance. If you talk about it, it will affect the entire Han Dynasty, millions of lives, and even the rise and fall of the world in the next two to three hundred years. Please forgive Tang Zhou for being arrogant. Tang Zhou has a request. If Master Yilang agrees, and Tang Zhou is willing to tell the whole story without reservation."

Tang Zhou, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly changed his momentum, his eyes were tough and full of hatred, as if if you didn't agree to the request, he would rather die than surrender.

"Hehe. You know that you are a sinner, but you still dare to ask. It seems that this request is more important than your life! Are you not afraid that I will kill the donkey after I find out?"

Cao Cao suddenly sneered, his narrow eyes devoid of murderous intent, which made Tang Zhou's confidantes almost jump out of their hearts.

Tang Zhou, on the other hand, was not afraid, showing an expression of putting life and death aside, and replied calmly.

"As long as Mr. Yilang agrees to the criminal's request, the sinner's life will be Mr. Yilang's. It is up to Mr. Yilang's will to be a cow or a horse, or to be killed or cut to pieces."

"Hahaha. Good! I admire you. I agreed to your request."

Cao Cao laughed again suddenly, moody, his expression and attitude changed so quickly, making people at a loss what to do.

Tang Zhou looked at Cao Cao who was laughing, his expression was a little stunned.

"Master Yilang agreed to my request before he knew about it? Isn't Lord Yilang afraid that I will make some difficult and unrealistic requests?"

"Haha. Your request is just for Ma Yuanyi's life. Am I right or not?"

Cao Cao laughed, and stared at Tang Zhou with a pair of narrow eyes with great interest. After Tang Zhou heard this, he was startled again, thinking why Cao Yilang was so powerful, as if he couldn't hide anything from him.

After being astonished, Tang Zhou came to his senses and bowed deeply to Cao Cao.

"Lord Yilang, you can predict things like a god. Tang Zhou worships him. In this way, the life of the sinner Tang Zhou belongs to Lord Yilang."

"Hahahaha. Good! Good! Good!"

Cao Cao raised his head and laughed again, as if he was very happy, but in the process of laughing, his eyes changed slightly.

"It's not me, Cao Mengde, who predicts things like a god. It's Wen Bufan. Wen Bufan, Wen Bufan, what kind of ability do you have, and how did you learn about such important things. You are really getting more and more interesting.... "

After that, Cao Cao talked to Tang Zhou a few more times, and told him some details that need attention. Cao Cao planned to arrange him to live in Cao's mansion first, and then let him tell all about the Yellow Turban Sect.The matter is of great importance, and the eunuchs of the court are involved. Cao Cao is cautious and must collect enough evidence before he can act.

When Cao Cao led his soldiers and horses back to Luoyang City with Tang Zhou and his party, it was already the time of rooster crowing, and the sun rose, drove away the night, and illuminated the entire Luoyang City.Many peddlers and merchants in Luoyang City have woken up and walked up and down the streets of Luoyang, preparing for the day's business.

After a while, it will be time to go to court.On the other side, in the school field barracks.Wen Han, Guan Yu, and Xu Huang woke up early, changed into clean imperial military uniforms after washing up, and prepared to go to court.After a while, the carriage sent by He Jin had arrived at the gate of the school grounds. The housekeeper of the General’s Mansion found Wen Han, Guan Yu, and Xu Huang. Seeing that they had finished tidying up, he led the three of them into the carriage and went to the palace’s direction.

The Luoyang Imperial Palace is magnificent.Under the sun, it shines brightly.The bricks of the imperial palace are made of sapphire, which produces cool smoke when the sun is warm, and disperses heat when the sun is cold.The red lacquer gate of the imperial palace is ten feet high, and standing under it mighty, makes people dare to be humble and weak.The antique style around it makes people feel solemn.

Wen Han, Guan Yu, and Xu Huang walked into the palace and walked towards the Wende Hall. Along the way, they encountered patrolling guards and guards.Approaching the front of the Wende Hall, there is a long corridor with 680 steps. Looking all the way, the pillars of the hall body are square, and there are chisels spewing water under the pillars.The top cover is covered with yellow glazed tiles inlaid with green trimmings, and the two columns are connected by a carved whole dragon. The dragon head sticks out of the eaves, and the dragon tail goes straight into the hall.

The long dragon leads directly to the promenade with 680, [-] steps. Every step you take makes you feel heavy and majestic.

When I came to Wende Hall, I saw that the roof of the hall was covered with yellow glazed tiles, inlaid with green trimmings, and the top of the flame bead was in the middle.Wen Han, Guan Yu, and Xu Huang waited quietly, standing upright, almost hearing the conversation between the officials in the Wende Palace and the Han Lingdi.

In the Wende Hall, all the officials knelt down, and Emperor Ling ordered him to be flattened. Zhang Rang, the head of the ten permanent servants next to him, said that there was something to go up and nothing to do.I don't know which officials one after another, Shili stood up, and played a major national event. Emperor Hanling sat in the Wangui dragon chair, examined and listened one by one, and decided on a strategy.

After the big business was discussed, it was He Jin's turn to go out and report to Han Lingdi.After a while, I heard a eunuch calling.

"Xuan Dahan's Sima Wenhan and Wen Bufan. Cavalry Governor Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang. Yamen General Xu Huang and Xu Gongming made a pilgrimage to the palace!"

Wen Han, Guan Yu, and Xu Huang, who were standing outside the hall waiting, each of them had straight faces, lowered their heads, and stepped into the hall calmly, step by step, without looking at Shengwei.

"Long live my emperor!"

Wen Han, Guan Yu, and Xu Huang shouted at the same time and knelt in front of Wende Hall.On the golden lacquered and carved dragon throne, Emperor Ling of Han looked at Wen Han, Guan Yu, and Xu Huang with a look of disdain for the world, and ordered majesticly.

"Flat body."

"Thanks my emperor!"

After Wen Han, Guan Yu, and Xu Huang stood up, they bowed down and saluted before they could raise their heads to meet Long Yan.Emperor Han Ling was only 34 years old, but his face was pale and a little sick, and his eyes looked majestic but weak.Wen Han, Guan Yu, and Xu Huang were looking at Emperor Han Ling, and Emperor Han Ling was also looking at Wen Han, Guan Yu, and Xu Huang.

"Who is Wen Han, Wen Bufan?"

Suddenly Han Lingdi asked.Wen Han was stunned, and hurriedly took a step forward, bowing to him.

"My lord, my minister is right."

"Well... I heard that you led five thousand soldiers and horses, took Xiudu, guarded Linhe, killed Keba Wuyan and his son in two battles, and wiped out [-] barbarian enemies. You have made great achievements and won the people of Shuofang County in Bingzhou. In the name of the champion. Is this true?"

"My lord, this slave came from a humble background, was favored by the lord, and took orders to fight against foreign forces. He has always led the army with a humble heart, diligently and honestly. There is no falsification in reporting achievements. As for the name of the champion, it is just wrongly loved by some people. , You can’t get in the lobby, you can’t really take it seriously.”

"Oh…"

Han Lingdi nodded his head, but after oh, he didn't speak.At this time, a person came out, knelt in front of the hall and said.

"Your Majesty! This article is simply nonsense, how can he have a humble heart. The court issued a decree a month ago, ordering him to lead the army back. But he has not returned, and the journey has been delayed by a full month. This time As a result, he can be punished for a serious crime of contempt for the court, and he will be punished by being torn apart!"
