The army set out from Runan in three groups.

The troops led by Lin Han marched for two days to Gushi.

Intelligence from spies showed that there were eight Yellow Turban strongholds around Gushi, with a scattered population of about 12,000 people. The average number of people in each stronghold was less than 1,500.

The largest stronghold had 3,000 people, and the smallest had only 800, so it was easy to defeat them one by one.

"Order to rest on the spot and start suppressing the bandits tomorrow."

Lin Han’s idea was to destroy the large strongholds first. Once the small strongholds were frightened, it would be much easier to conquer them.

Otherwise, destroy the small stronghold first, and the escaped bandits will gather at the large stronghold, allowing it to continue to grow, which will make it more troublesome to attack.

The next day, when Lin Han led his troops outside the village, he could still see the Yellow Turban flag flying at the gate of the village. It looked tattered and he wondered if it was picked up from the Yellow Turban battlefield.

Lin Han rode out and took out the ancestral loudspeaker.

"Listen up, everyone in the village. I am Xiao Hange, the captain of the lower army. I order you to surrender immediately, and I will forgive you the crime of rebellion."

"System prompt: The Yellow Turbans have heard of your name, causing chaos and lowering morale."

efficient.

When Lin Han heard the system prompt, he knew that his call was effective.

After a while, a strong man climbed up to the top of the village wall and looked down at Lin Han with an annoyed look.

"Are you Xiao Hange? I've long heard of your name. You were once a bandit, and now you've become a lackey of the imperial court and an executioner. How shameful."

Lin Han smiled coldly and shouted, "When I was a bandit, I didn't steal a single penny from the people. When I became a general, I conquered the Di, Qiang, Xianbei, and rebels, yet you rebelled in the Central Plains, plundering the people. How dare you call me a butcher?"

"The blue sky is dead, the yellow sky should be established. The court today is full of good-for-nothings, yet you are willing to become a knife for the court thieves, and you still have the nerve to laugh."

Lin Han almost laughed out loud.

Since the death of Zhang Jiao and his three brothers, the only ones who are qualified to shout "The blue sky is dead, the yellow sky should be established" are him and Ma Yuanyi.

A small-time bandit actually shouted in front of him, not knowing whether he would live or die.

"My sword belongs to the people of the world. If it can bring peace and well-being to the people, what does it matter if I kill people? You must surrender or die. Now, I will give you one last chance. If you surrender, I will forgive you. Otherwise, you will be killed without mercy."

"Ridiculous! Here is my head, come and take it."

"That's exactly what I meant."

Lin Han ordered his men to bring a strong bow, put an arrow on it and shoot.

A scream was heard from the top of the village wall. The leader of the village was pierced through the shoulder by Lin Han's arrow, and his life or death was unknown.

"Bugler, beat the drum. Everyone, listen up! Kill them!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

The shield soldiers lead the way, followed by the infantry and archers.

The tactics of regular elite troops.

The soldiers and horses flooded the village gate in an instant.

In just a quarter of an hour, the village gate was broken, and the huge Yellow Turban Village appeared before him, like an unguarded chicken coop.

"Follow me and kill us."

Lin Han took the lead and rushed forward.

It doesn't take much effort to attack a poorly equipped Yellow Turban stronghold.

After the village gate was broken open, the bandits' morale plummeted, and they became even more frightened when they saw Lin Han.

The battle was over in just half an hour, with two thousand killed and more than two thousand captured. Some Yellow Turban bandits took advantage of the chaos to escape into the mountains and forests, scattering like birds and posing no threat.

The largest Yellow Turban bandit hideout in Gushi was completely wiped out.

Lin Han obtained a lot of resources from the warehouse of the Yellow Turban Camp, including two thousand dan of grain and over one million five-zhu coins, all of which were obtained by plundering the money of the people and passing merchants.

Plenty of oil and water.

No wonder the villages are deserted and the people have to go up the mountain and become bandits to survive. What a sad world.

"Order everyone to rest and regroup. We will attack other Yellow Turban strongholds tomorrow."

Lin Han used the Yellow Turban captives as the vanguard to attack the remaining Yellow Turban camps to reduce casualties in the army, and selected the best among them to supplement the army.

On the fifth day, all the Yellow Turban bandits around Gushi were wiped out.

Upon hearing the name of Xiao Hange, most of the bandits chose to surrender, only a few resisted, but to no avail.

Dian Wei and Xu Chu's teams sent scouts to report that the main force of the Yellow Turban bandits had been eliminated in Pingyu and Geling cities, and they were currently clearing out some scattered bandits, and had recruited more than 10,000 bandits to surrender.

Lin Han ordered the entire army to head towards Xinyang.

The route of the Yellow Turbans in Runan

The marching speed was not fast, so Lin Han was not in a hurry.

There was less than half a year left before the death of Emperor Ling of Han. The court was in turmoil, and he could take this opportunity to get away from Luoyang, the place of trouble.

To accumulate strength for subsequent plots.

…

"kill!"

"kill!"

The sound of fighting was endless, echoing in the mountains and forests.

In the huge village, screams and howls continued, and they only stopped after half an hour.

Lin Han put away the blood-stained Pojun Spear and signaled the soldiers to take the prisoners away.

Along the way, he tried his best to persuade the Yellow Turban bandits to surrender, and he had to use force to kill those who couldn't surrender. There were also some ruthless bandits who massacred civilians in the villages, and Lin Han would not let them go either.

Although his other identity was the Yellow Turban Divine Envoy, those Yellow Turban soldiers who did not follow him when the Yellow Turban Rebellion failed and marched north were no longer his men.

After packing up everything in the Yellow Turban stronghold, Lin Han ordered his troops to withdraw.

Two days later, the last Yellow Turban stronghold outside Sishan City was destroyed, and the Yellow Turban threat in Runan was resolved. In just over a month, all the Yellow Turbans in Runan County were wiped out.

This is the speed at which Lin Han is holding back.

The Yellow Turban rebels were no match for his entire army.

"System prompt: The Yellow Turban rebellion in Runan County has been eliminated by the troops led by Captain Xiao Hange of the Lower Army. The [Yellow Turban Remnants] event in Runan County has ended."
