Because of the arrival of Ma Chao's army in time, the battle that Sun Xiazhi must win ended with his death and the defeat of the Yellow Turban Army.

The danger of Wancheng was naturally resolved. Seeing that the danger of Wancheng had been resolved, Qin Jie was really unable to support him and fell down. Seeing this, Ma Chao quickly ordered someone to support him and then sent him back to the prefect's mansion.

In the prefect's mansion, Ma Chao found a doctor to treat Qin Jie's wound. Because Qin Jie was a little injured in the battle with the Yellow Turbans, the wound naturally had to be treated quickly. As for the end, he fell down without support. After seeing it, the doctor said that there was no big problem, it was just overwork and he would be cured if he had a few days of rest.

"I, someone comes..."

Qin Jie finally woke up, but he felt weak all over and it was difficult to move. He only remembered that Ma Chao led reinforcements to fight, and then Wancheng finally defended him. He couldn't remember what happened next.

"That's great, sir, you have finally woken up!" The servant who served Qin Jie said happily after seeing Qin Jie wake up.

"I, what's wrong?" Qin Jie asked.

"Sir, you fell down because of overwork in the end of the battle to defend the city. It was the prefect whom Mr. Ma asked someone to send you back to the prefect's house. Later, I found a doctor to treat you. The doctor said that you were caused by overwork, so you would have to take a few days off!"

Qin Jie nodded when he heard this, "Then how long have I been lying?"

"It's been more than two days!"

"So that's it. I know. Go and invite Lord Ma to me."

Qin Jie said to his servant weakly, but he didn't expect that he had been lying on the couch for more than two days. Seeing this, he still had to rest for a day or two before he could fully recover.

"promise!"

The servants took the order and left. In fact, even without Qin Jie's order, he would still invite Ma Chao, because Ma Chao had told him a long time ago that if Qin Jie woke up, he would go to find him as soon as possible.

After a while, Ma Chao came over and he came to Qin Jie's couch. When Qin Jie saw Ma Chao, he quickly said, "Meng Qi, thank you for this time!"

Ma Chao smiled after hearing this, "You are polite to Taishou Qin. These are all things that Chao should have done, but I don't know how good the prefect is to rest?"

Qin Jie nodded, grabbed Ma Chao's hand, and said, "Meng Qi, my thanks to you is not only because you saved me, but also because of you, so Wancheng was saved. You saved the people of Wancheng!"

When Ma Chao saw Qin Jie was a little excited, he hurriedly said, "The prefect does not need to be excited. Since Your Majesty asked Chao to come to help Wancheng, then Chao naturally cannot be neglected. Fortunately, he rushed over in time before. If he came too late, Chao would really be sorry to Your Majesty, he would be sorry to the prefect, and even more so to the people of Wancheng! Fortunately, it's okay."

"It's because of Meng Qi's arrival in time that I didn't become a sinner, and I thank you on behalf of the people!" Qin Jie said to Ma Chao sincerely.

"The doctor said that the prefect should rest well. Now the prefect should not say too much. The prefect is very clear about the meaning of the prefect, and the prefect should follow the doctor's instructions."

Qin Jie nodded and expressed his understanding, "The affairs of Wancheng are all dependent on Meng Qi," he knew that Ma Chao should have handled the affairs of Wancheng on his behalf in the past two days, so Qin Jie was even more grateful to Ma Chao.

"Don't worry, everything is beyond your reach, and you must do your best!"

"I don't worry about Meng Qi doing things, then everything will be done with Meng Qi!"

"Cho should do his best, and the prefect should take good care of his life. Chao will leave now!"

Qin Jie stopped talking, and just nodded after hearing Ma Chao's words. Ma Chao stood up and turned away, while the servant sent Ma Chao out of the house.

In the Han Palace in Luoyang, Liu Hong was immediately happy after reading the battle report of Ma Chao's army in Wancheng, thinking that it must be Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi. As long as he takes action, there will be no problem.

"Father, Ma Mengqi is really a master of the world. It is a blessing for the great man to have such talent. It is my blessing, hahaha!" Liu Hong said to Zhang Rang with a smile.

After hearing this, Zhang Rang smiled and said, "I also think so. Ma Mengqi is really the blessing of my great Han Dynasty!"

Liu Hong nodded, Zhang Rang said it was right. Since sending Ma Chao to suppress the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Ma Chao won wherever he went. Isn’t this the lucky general of the Han Dynasty? It’s not wrong at all. And now the other armies have also been triumphant and advancing. Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun’s Yuzhou battlefield have also won consecutive battles and encircled and suppressed the Yellow Turban rebels in Yuzhou in Runan. As for Lu Zhi, he also recovered many lost territory and won several games, and has been confronting Zhang Jiao’s main army.

In Liu Hong's opinion, as the current momentum continues to develop, it is just around the corner to eliminate the Yellow Turban rebels, and there is no problem at all. As the saying goes, people are in a happy mood. After Liu Hong knew that the specific situation on the front line was very good, he was no longer worried. He could eat well and sleep peacefully. Not to mention that he was resting on the sidelines, but it was almost the same. Anyway, it was safer. His subordinates quelled the rebellion on the front line, and he could be the emperor in the Luoyang Palace.

Liu Hong ordered someone to draft an edict, and praised Ma Chao in the imperial edict and rewarded many things. However, it was still the same as before. When he returned to Luoyang, he would give him all the things.

Ma Chao was laughing in Wancheng as he listened to the angels coming from the court reading the imperial edict. He thought that Liu Hong's imperial edict was basically the same every time. He praised you first and praised you to the sky, and then rewarded you with a bunch of things, but he had to wait until you return to Luoyang and then give it to you together. He had his own statement, saying that because you were in the army, it was inconvenient to collect so many things, so he waited for you to return to Luoyang and then sent it to your mansion together.

However, there is another difference this time, that is, Liu Hong asked Ma Chao's army to rest in Wancheng for some time. Now, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, and Lu Zhi's side, there are no Ma Chao out of the horse, so Liu Hong wants Ma Chao to stay in Wancheng for the time being. Because Jingzhou has not been peaceful, there are still many Yellow Turban Army, and other places are Jingzhou Governor Xu Yu to deal with them. However, although Xu Yu is the Governor of Jingzhou, he can really not take much into consideration.

After these battles, Liu Hong felt a little worried about letting others be in Wancheng, and if Ma Chao could be here, that would be reliable. So he ordered Ma Chao's army to rest in Wancheng, and this actually wanted Ma Chao to stay in Wancheng for a longer time.

Qin Jie and Ma Chao both understood Liu Hong's thoughts, and they understood his approach, but neither of them had any objections. Especially Ma Chao, he was actually very happy and he couldn't have a good rest like this. Because he really didn't like fighting, and now he finally had time to rest. How great it would be.

However, although he could have a rest, Ma Chao still did everything he should do. Because Qin Jie knew Liu Hong's intention and he was very self-aware, he temporarily handed over all the military and political affairs in Wancheng to Ma Chao for full responsibility. Ma Chao was also unwilling to let him go, and he was not polite to Qin Jie. Indeed, having to deal with it himself is better than Qin Jie. Although Qin Jie is also a capable person, he is more of a political manager in military affairs. Of course, it is better to take over military affairs by himself.

So although Ma Chao didn't go to the front line to fight the Yellow Turbans, there were not too many things on his side. After all, Wancheng had a lot of things waiting for him to do.

After destroying Sun Xia, Ma Chao ordered people to clean the battlefield. The statistics result was that most of Sun Xia's Yellow Turban soldiers ran away, and the rest naturally died. The most died in the siege battle, followed by Ma Chao's killing of the enemy camp. After 5,000 Ma Chao's army, there were more than 4,000 people after this battle.

As for Wancheng, there were only less than 100 soldiers guarding the city from 5,000 to the end, which shows that the battle was fierce. Sun Xia used people to cushion the Yellow Turban to cushion, and he almost captured Wancheng. Ma Chao thought about it and felt that he was very lucky, but fortunately, he came in time.

The first thing that happened afterwards was naturally to deal with the aftermath, soothe the relatives of the sacrificed soldiers guarding the city and give them a sum of pensions.

Then, because there were less than a hundred soldiers guarding the city, they had to continue to recruit new recruits to join the Wancheng defenders. Ma Chao handed it over to Chen Dao to deal with it. He believed that it was naturally not a problem to Chen Dao. He felt that it was actually a bit useless. Not only the defenders of Wancheng, he also recruited hundreds of people and collected enough 5,000. Ma Chao thought that these were enough, and this was the foundation for him to fight against the Yellow Turbans in the future.

The recruitment of the soldiers of the Wancheng garrison, plus the less than a hundred remaining people, had enough 3,000. Qin Jie's idea was that the more the better. He had only recruited 2,000 people before, plus the 5,000 people left by Ma Chao at that time. After a battle with Sun Xia, Qin Jie felt that he had suffered a great loss in terms of the number of people. If there were 50,000 people in Wancheng, he would have destroyed Sun Xia long ago.

In Wancheng's situation, recruiting 50,000 is a big burden, but if the supply is not kept up, it will be broken. If it is only 10,000 or 20,000, it is indeed no problem, but Ma Chao still used what he often said to Qin Jie, "The prefect is not without reason, but the ancients said, 'The soldiers are in the spirit but not the many'. The Yellow Turban Army is known as one million, but now we are beaten to retreat step by step!"

Qin Jie didn't understand, but saw him smile and said, "Meng Qi said it is good, and now that all military and political affairs have been handed over to Meng Qi for handling, I naturally have no objection! I just hope that Meng Qi can train them well, and I will ask you all!"

"Everything should be done with all your strength, and the prefect will rest assured!"

After all the soldiers were recruited, what Ma Chao had to do every day was to train the soldiers, and he personally trained them. Qin Jie saw it and it seemed that it was right to hand over these to Ma Chao, and he couldn't train anything.
