"The remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Runan have risen again, causing chaos among the people and wreaking havoc across the land. I am deeply concerned. I have ordered Lieutenant Xiao Hange to lead his troops to Runan to eliminate the bandits and quell the chaos, ultimately bringing peace to the country."
The emperor ordered him to go to Yuzhou to wipe out the remnants of the Yellow Turbans.
"Brother, Zhongkang, you must organize the troops, break camp tomorrow, and head to Runan."
"promise."
Dian Wei and Xu Chu left the camp to reorganize the troops.
Lin Han was not happy after receiving the imperial edict. The time for testing him had come. He was following Bao Hong's path, so Lin Han needed to be more careful.
Late at night, there was a noise outside the tent, and a dark shadow flashed out and appeared inside the tent.
"Sir." The man with a hoarse voice was undoubtedly Cao Zhengchun.
"What is it?"
If it wasn't something extremely important, Cao Zhengchun wouldn't choose this time to come to him.
"The Queen Mother sent me here. Please go and treat him." Cao Zhengchun said in a low voice.
At this point in time, Lin Han felt a little helpless.
"One more thing."
Cao Zhengchun reported.
"A spy in Luoyang learned that Gai Xun had gained the emperor's trust since the military lecture. He and He Jin and others were plotting to kill the eunuchs and purge the emperor's court. Jian Shuo and others learned of this and advised the emperor to transfer Gai Xun to the position of Jingzhao Yin and remove him from Luoyang, leaving the emperor without a sitter.
Jian Shuo and others, concerned about the general's bravery, also petitioned the emperor to send him away from Luoyang to Ru'nan to suppress the bandits. Furthermore, He Jin intended to exploit the general's suppression of the bandits in order to seize the general's position as a lieutenant and replace him with one of his own.
Cao Zhengchun told what he knew.
The purpose of this trip is not just to bring a message to the Queen.
Lin Han was appointed as the captain of the lower army, and both the Ten Attendants and He Jin were uneasy.
He was neither Jian Shuo's man nor He Jin's man.
During the winter hunting season, the emperor assigned him to accompany his favorite princess, Princess Wannian, on a hunt. He was highly appreciated by Princess Wannian and naturally caught the emperor's eye.
The safest way is to transfer him away from Luoyang so that the emperor has no one around him.
The eunuchs were afraid of him, and He Jin wanted to deal with him.
Both sides want to deal with him. It seems that the benefits of this lower-level military lieutenant are not so easy to obtain.
"After I leave Luoyang, please help me pay attention to a few things."
Lin Han went to Cao Zhengchun and whispered instructions in his ear to make sure he understood everything. Then he changed his clothes and disguised himself before leaving with him.
He Mansion Villa.
Lin Han followed Cao Zhengchun in openly.
There was no one in the backyard wing room. Cao Zhengchun guarded the door and let Lin Han in. The candlelight in the room was still on. He was drinking alone. When she saw Lin Han appear in a trance, she was very surprised.
"General Xiao, I have been waiting for you for a long time. I am not feeling well, please treat me."
He drank too much and was unwell, had a slight fever and was in a bad mood.
"My lady, let's get treatment first."
An hour later, Lin Han finally finished treating him.
He's high fever subsided and he had just recovered from a serious illness. He looked weak and exhausted.
"General Xiao, I'm here to see you this time, and I have something else to tell you."
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"General Xiao, it is Jian Shuo's idea to transfer you to Runan to suppress the bandits. Jian Shuo is afraid of your bravery and intends to transfer you away. General, please take care of yourself on this trip." He warned worriedly.
"I didn't expect it to be like this, yes."
Lin Han was slightly surprised by He's reminder.
"There is one more thing. After the winter hunt, I heard that Princess Wannian spoke very highly of you and praised you highly in front of the emperor. The emperor admires you very much and does not rule out recruiting you as his consort?" He said meaningfully.
"What?"
Lin Han was shocked.
This is a big deal.
"I'm just guessing, but I heard that the Emperor really admires you. If you achieve more military success during this trip to Runan, the Emperor will definitely reward you generously and perhaps even recruit you as his consort."
"It's just speculation, it hasn't been done yet. I already have a wife, so it's not appropriate for me to marry a princess. Being a lieutenant in the lower army is more comfortable than being a prince consort. Your Majesty, the army will be mobilized tomorrow, so I should leave."
It was already midnight when Lin Han came out of He Mansion's villa.
Lin Han easily avoided the patrolling guards, flew through the air, and left the city safely from the city gate, without anyone noticing.
I never dreamed that he would use such terrifying god-level power here.
At noon the next day, the army set out.
Lin Han sent Xu Chu as the vanguard, leading a thousand cavalrymen to clear the way, and the rest of the troops followed closely behind.
Xu Chu was born in Qiao County and was familiar with Runan, making him the perfect choice for the vanguard army.
The purpose of this trip is to wipe out the remnants of the Yellow Turbans.
Lin Han did not agree with the statement that they were remnants of the Yellow Turbans.
After the deaths of Zhang Jue, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao, the Yellow Turban Army ceased to exist. The core members of the Yellow Turban Army either jumped into the river or committed suicide after the deaths of the three.
The rest of the Yellow Turban core followed Lin Han northwards and were transformed in the Great Xia Dynasty, becoming the Great Xia army.
Those two are the real Yellow Turban Army.
Strictly speaking, the remaining Yellow Turban Army was nothing more than bandits under the Yellow Turban banner, and they no longer had the faith in the Taiping Dao of Zhang Jiao's era.
Zhang Yan, Zhang Mancheng, Yang Feng and others did not follow them north, choosing independence, and had in fact already severed ties with the Yellow Turban Army.
Having lost the faith in the Taiping Dao, they were no longer the orthodox Yellow Turban Army, but just a group of ragtag bandits using the name of the Yellow Turbans.
After ten days of marching, the troops passed through Yingchuan and marched into Runan in a mighty force.
When entering Runan, Lin Han saw that some of the villages were extremely desolate, with only the old and weak left, but no young and strong people.
After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, many of the Yellow Turban soldiers scattered, gathered together to become bandits, and occupied the mountains as kings.
The people were not disturbed by it and either fled or joined the bandits, so the scenery along the way was deserted.
Only the occasional player village was better than the system village, but not many. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the lord player was more likely to struggle on the brink of death.
