There is no clue to the strategy of defeating the enemy for the time being, but the imperial edict from the court took the lead. Perhaps it was because he felt that the war in the Central Plains was relatively smooth, but the war in Jizhou in the north was blocked. The new General Dong Zhuo, not only failed to make the war improve, but was defeated for a while. The imperial edict issued an edict, ordered Huangfu Song to lead the army north, while the war in Nanyang was presided over by the Right General Zhu Jun, and Ye Zhao, Sun Jian, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others assisted Zhu Jun in defeating the enemy.

"The war in Nanyang..." The next morning, Huangfu Song was about to lead his army north and bid farewell to the generals who came to see him off. Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun rode their horses forward. Huangfu Song narrowed his eyes and looked ahead and said, "Don't be impatient. Zhang Mancheng has a lot of troops. There are too many thieves in Nanyang. Almost all the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in the Central Plains gather here. It is not advisable to attack... I see that the strategies Ye Zhao had taken during Runan were used. Gong Wei can use them."

Huangfu Song said, turned his head and looked at the location of Ye Zhao and others, and smiled and said, "This son is arrogant, but he is a bit talented, and needs to be polished."

Zhu Jun smiled and nodded and said, "Yi Zhen rested on the battle in Nanyang. On the contrary, in Jizhou, Zhang Jiao was the leader of the Taiping Sect. The Yellow Turban in Jizhou is the most rampant. You should act carefully. However, if Zhang Jiao can be killed, the Yellow Turban will not be destroyed far away."

After the two discussed for a while, Huangfu Song led his army north.

In the following period, Zhu Jun began to set up defense lines in Wancheng area and contact various major families in Nanyang. Qin Zhe, the former prefect of Nanyang, was dismissed for losing Wancheng. However, he had been operating in Nanyang for several years and still had connections. He introduced talents from Jingxiang, including Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Kuai Liang, Huang Zhong, etc. to Zhu Jun to join Zhu Jun.

Zhu Jun started his layout with Wancheng as the center. Although there were no major battles during this period, the small friction with the Yellow Turban Army was taking place every day, and both sides won and lost.

After being injured for a month, the three Liu Bei and the three brothers left quietly without telling anyone. Of course, except Ye Zhao, no one would pay attention to the three brothers who were still completely Xiao Xiami at this time.

Ye Zhao did not show much during this period. Although Zhu Jun did not ask him to continue to supervise the transportation of food and grass, he did not use it more seriously. Most of the time, Ye Zhao either stayed in the military camp to study or practice soldiers.

In the Battle of West Hubei, Ye Zhao's troops suffered heavy losses, and the Yue Cavalry Battalion was almost wiped out. There were only a few soldiers left in the Liangguo County that Ye Zhao brought. Zhu Jun did not send him another army. During this period, in addition to training troops, he was also responsible for re-recruiting troops.

Because of Yuan Shao's recommendation, Ye Zhao invited Qin Zhe to help him recruit soldiers. In March, five thousand tribes were recruited.

The hot summer has passed and the weather is getting colder.

...

The north wind was like a knife, and a piece of snowflake fell from the air, falling on Ye Zhao's face turned into a cold.

Ye Zhao looked up at the sky. Is it snowing in October?

"What is Xiuming looking at?" A general came towards him, with a helmet and armor, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a bit of a tough spirit between his eyebrows. He was Huang Zhong, a native of Nanyang. He was originally a general under Qin Zhe. When the Yellow Turbans first started, he made many contributions. At that time, because Qin Zhe lost Wancheng, he was dismissed, which made Huang Zhong also implicated. Now Qin Zhe has resurrected Huang Zhong because of this, and now he is re-activated by Qin Zhe and is now serving as a lieutenant.

He was not from a noble family, and he did not have as great people as Ye Zhao's current people's livelihood. Whether it was the original general or the generals introduced by Qin Zhe, they were all considered to be from a noble family, so Huang Zhong was somewhat rejected and could not be integrated.

Ye Zhao intended to make friends, so Huang Zhong and Ye Zhao got closer and discussed military tactics and martial arts together for a long time.

"Follow the weather." Ye Zhao looked at Huang Zhong and smiled: "The weather this year is much colder than in previous years. It is not a good thing that suddenly becomes colder."

"Who said no?" Huang Zhong nodded, sighed and sat down beside Ye Zhao and said, "In a few days, I'm afraid many soldiers will suffer from frostbite. Unfortunately, it's unlikely that the Yellow Turban will be broken this year."

"This may not be!" Ye Zhao seemed to think of something, suddenly smiled, turned his head to look at Huang Zhong and said, "But I think this is the time to break the enemy!"

"Oh?" Huang Zhong looked at Ye Zhao in surprise when he heard this: "What do you say about Xiuming?"

"This cold weather is naturally unfavorable to our army, but what about the Yellow Turbans?" Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Nanyang has 300,000 Yellow Turbans, but Han Sheng should know better than me that our soldiers have at least clothes to protect the cold, but the Yellow Turbans in the city do not have these. General Zhu has been building defenses since he came to Nanyang to isolate the contact between Wancheng and other Yellow Turbans. Although the Yellow Turbans in Wancheng are numerous, Wancheng is overcrowded. It is cold and the elites may still have some cold protection, but the ordinary Yellow Turbans do not have this treatment. I am afraid that many people will be frozen to death."

Huang Zhong nodded. Not to mention the Yellow Turban Army, even if the official army gathered so many people, Huang Zhong would probably be frozen to death.

He did not answer the conversation, but just waited quietly for Ye Zhao's following.

"I'm afraid of comparison. You said that when you see those elites who live a life that is moist, can eat a full meal, and have something to keep warm, but you can only resist with your body without any tiles covering your body. Especially many people like you are frozen to death, what will you think in your heart?" Ye Zhao said with a smile.

"Will there be internal strife in the Yellow Turbans in the city?" Huang Zhong asked after hearing what Ye Zhao meant.

"Definitely." Ye Zhao nodded: "General Zhu was waiting for this moment. Look at the past few months, he has been constantly forcing the Yellow Turban Army into Wancheng. It seems to have encouraged the Yellow Turban momentum, but in fact it has planted the root of disaster for the Yellow Turban internal strife. People are not worried about fewer people but uneven, especially when there are more people, the more likely they are to be in chaos under such conditions."

Zhu Jun's move is somewhat similar to what Ye Zhao did in Runan, but he did it more meticulously than Ye Zhao did. After all, Zhu Jun has this condition.

"What's more, there are many factions in Nanyang City now, including Zhao Hong, Han Zhong, Sun Zhong, and He Yi, and Liu Pi, the Yellow Turbans who escaped from Runan. There is still a conflict between Liu Pi and He Yi. Zhang Mancheng's prestige was able to suppress these people before. However, when these subordinates began to be dissatisfied, these Yellow Turban generals who were the only one in the past would not be peaceful. If they could send people to secretly provoke them, it would be even better."

"It was very cold this year, so I helped me wait a lot. God's will is not there!" Ye Zhao said with a smile.

"So you are not in a hurry?" Huang Zhong looked at Ye Zhao in shock. Over the past few months, although Zhu Jun called Ye Zhao every time he discussed the matter, he never assigned a task to Ye Zhao. Ye Zhao never cared about it, nor did he fight for anything. He let others get the credit and he just practiced troops with peace of mind every day.

"What's the use of urgent? General wants to polish me, how can I not know?" Ye Zhao shook his head helplessly. He could probably guess some of Zhu Jun's thoughts. Besides, as the head coach, he had to take care of everyone, so most of the credit was divided by Yuan Shao and others.

"I heard that when you were in Changshe..." Huang Zhong suddenly came to Ye Zhao with some gossip and asked curiously.

The fact that Ye Zhao threatened Huangfu Song with a knife was no longer a secret in the army. Many soldiers even came to Ye Zhao's command because of this.

"As the situation is forced, I can't really let me take two thousand people to fight 200,000, right?" Ye Zhao said with a smile.

"Ha~" Huang Zhong shook his head and looked at Ye Zhao and said, "If I were the commander, I would also hit you. If I followed Shangguan Yaobing like you, then what kind of majesty will the general command the three armies? General Huangfu did not kill you, he was already kind."

Do you think he doesn't want to?

Thinking of Huangfu Song's appearance at that time, Ye Zhao couldn't help laughing. He was sure that if he had the chance at that time, Huangfu Song would definitely take him to sacrifice his sword.

"Then are you just waiting now?" Huang Zhong asked after laughing.

"Natural." Ye Zhao nodded affirmatively, looked at the snowflakes fluttering in the sky and said, "When the heavy snow is over, it will be almost done."

At that time, the nails buried in the city and the nails buried in the city of Yuan Shao can all play a role. With so many nails, coupled with the conflicts between the morale of the army against the upper class, and the mutual dislike between regions, the combined total of all kinds of contradictions is enough to make Wancheng a powder barrel that may detonate at any time.

"So, I should prepare early." Huang Zhong stood up, his eyes flashed with a scorching light, said goodbye to Ye Zhao, turned around and left.

By the way, what exactly did he come here for?

Ye Zhao looked at Huang Zhong's back as he left, shook his head with some amusement. After resting for so long, it was time to move. The Battle of Nanyang can be regarded as the end of the Yellow Turban Rebellion. In Jizhou, the recent news was full of good news. Zhang Jiao's range of activities was gradually compressed by Huangfu Song to the Guangzong area. As expected, the war should end.

This peasant uprising that almost spread throughout the Han Dynasty was finally extinguished after a year. After all, it was because it was not pure, not a peasant uprising that really broke out in public grievances, but a peasant uprising that was manipulated. From the beginning, its appearance was to prepare for failure, but just a struggle extended by a political struggle. The uprising leaders were sad but pitiful, and the real pitiful people were still those involved in this struggle.

However, just as Zhu Jun was preparing for this last battle, a war report from the north caused an uproar in the whole world.

In the winter of the first year of Zhongping, just after October, the leader of the Taiping Cult, Zhang Jiao, died of illness in Guangzong City.
