Lu Zhi watched Guo Peng successfully lead his subordinates out of the city and did not participate in this carnival feast in the city, maintaining the rationality and bottom line that he should have as an officer, and couldn't help but sigh.

After seeing Guo Peng capturing Zhang Jiao alive, he sighed even more.

Lu Zhi immediately ordered his subordinates to start preparing strategies and put Zhang Jiao in the prison car and sent him to Luoyang as soon as possible for Emperor Ling to vent, so that Zhang Jiao would not die on the road.

Guo Peng asked the Xiahou brothers and Cao Ren to take their subordinates to rest and take a bath, but he stayed with Lu Zhi, accompanied Lu Zhi to look at Guangzong County where the smoke was everywhere, and listened to the noise in the city that was not like the world, without saying a word.

"This is the battlefield, this is the war, Zifeng, do you understand?"

Guo Peng pursed his lips.

"Understood."

Guo Peng didn't say too much, and his mood was not as heavy as he imagined. He looked at Lu Zhi, and Lu Zhi's eyes were staring at the black smoke floating in the city, motionless.

"Teacher, is there any way to stop such a thing?"

Guo Peng initiated an inquiry with Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi opened his mouth and remained silent for a while.

After a long time, he said slowly: "When one day, soldiers are no longer fighting for promotion and wealth, this kind of thing can be stopped."

Guo Peng lowered his head and was silent.

It is precisely because of this that such things cannot be stopped for more than a thousand years.

However, it is not impossible to reduce the frequency and intensity of such things in various senses.

That requires considerable determination and strength, and more resources to mobilize.

The Eastern Han Empire, which was already a walking corpse, could not do it. The greatest significance of this dynasty with only an empty shell is to maintain false unity, and the seeds of division have been planted at this moment.

The great robbery in Guangzong County did not end until one day and one night.

Lu Zhi ordered his own army and Guo Peng's troops to enter the city to maintain order. He drove out when he saw the tyrant soldiers, and even the soldiers who dared to stay inside would be killed.

After killing a group of people, the order in the city has initially stabilized.

Nine out of ten houses were burned, and nine out of ten people died. The Taiping Taoist people in Guangzong County experienced a nightmare day and night.

However, they have no reason to say, no grievances to complain, and everything they encounter is because they are rebellious.

It is okay for the King of the King to do anything to rebel. The great righteousness is in the hands of the King of the King, and the final interpretation is owned by the King of the King.

The soldiers cleaned up the bodies, counted the losses, and then burned the bodies, leaving the remaining matters to the local government for the management.

The court will soon appoint a new Guangzong County Magistrate to rebuild and manage Guangzong, and the new Guangzong will have no connection with the old Guangzong.

However, these prisoners who survived by chance had a bad fate and the Taiping Taoist people. After losing their weapons and ability to resist, they could not even protect themselves, let alone their families.

The humiliation of the Han soldiers on them was not over.

After a large-scale carnival, Han soldiers continued to run to the prisoners of war to rob women of their desires. The families dared to stop them and killed them directly, which even caused a lot of unrest.

Some violent soldiers were killed by the Taiping Daoist snatched away their weapons. Lu Zhi immediately transferred Guo Peng to lead the Changshui cavalry to suppress them. Guo Peng led the Changshui cavalry to attack and killed a group of Taiping Daoist snatches, which was completely afraid of killing them and would never dare to resist again.

Later, when Lu Zhi learned about the whole story, he scolded the commanders of the soldiers who did not obey orders and committed violence, beheaded several soldiers who took the lead in the crime to be deterred, but the results were not very effective.

If you can't control it, you really can't control it. If you control it too harshly, you will have a mutiny.

On June 30, the Han army was initially rectified, and Lu Zhi ordered Guo Peng to lead three thousand infantry and cavalry to advance down Quyang. As the vanguard of the entire army, he organized a large army behind him, preparing to join forces with Dong Zhuo's troops to break Xia Quyang and pacify the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Hebei.

Also in June, Nanyang Prefect Qin Jie fought with Zhang Mancheng and killed Zhang Mancheng. The remaining Yellow Turban Army changed Zhao Hong as the commander and occupied Wancheng with more than 100,000 people.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun's army continued to attack Runan. The Yellow Turbans of Chen State pursued Bo to Yangdi. Finally, they defeated Peng Tuo in Xihua. Yu's army wanted to escape to Wancheng, but Sun Jian, who came from Changsha, entered the city first. Everyone advanced like ants, defeated the enemy and successfully defeated the Yellow Turbans in Yuzhou.

The last remaining troops of the Yellow Turban Army shrank in the Nanyang area and completely lost their ability to make progress. They only had the ability and ideas to survive. They no longer dared to confront the Han army head-on and defended the city to the death, which made the Han army quite difficult for this.

At this moment, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Sun Jian, Cao Cao and Nanyang Prefect Qin Jie joined forces with more than 50,000 troops. Zhao Hong was squeezed into Nanyang, making him unable to move, and he was just unable to break the city for the time being.

Earlier, around the beginning of May, just when Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun had just broken the Bo and lifted the siege, they learned that Lu Zhi had defeated Zhang Jiao's 50,000 soldiers in Hebei and that Sima Guo Peng of Changshui killed Zhang Jiao's brother Zhang Liang.

At that time, Cao Cao was fighting under their command. The two knew that Cao Cao was the brother of Guo Peng's wife and Guo Peng was Cao Cao's sister-in-law, so they told Cao Cao about this, which was very surprised.

"Is this really the case? Zifeng actually killed Zhang Liang?"

"It's true. No one dares to fake such things. But Meng De, your sister-in-law is really extraordinary. He killed Zhang Liang when he first went to the battlefield. Lu Zhonglang has someone to succeed."

Huangfu Song sighed so much.

"I can't stand Zifeng's talent."

Cao Cao shook his head and smiled: "I don't know if Mr. Lu and Zifeng can sweep away the Yellow Turban thieves in Hebei as soon as possible, and Mr. Huangfu, we should speed up our pace."

"Hahahaha, Meng De couldn't say that, I'm afraid he's quite unwilling to accept it?"

Huangfu Song laughed loudly.

Cao Cao smiled awkwardly, accusing himself of not admitting defeat.

He admired the famous generals who made great contributions to the country. What he most hoped was to become a general, the kind who was famous all over the world. Now, seeing his sister-in-law who was ten years younger than him made great contributions, he naturally was anxious.

Not to mention Cao Cao, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were actually not easy either.

Lu Zhi made military achievements before them with less than their troops, which also brought great pressure to them.

Originally, Lu Zhi was very generous and rushed to difficult places and gave the easy places to Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, devoted himself to the country. As a result, the current situation made Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun feel a little ashamed.

So they stepped up their attack on the Yellow Turban Army Zhao Hong's troops in Nanyang, and successfully shot and killed Zhao Hong at the end of June. However, the Yellow Turban Army did not retreat, but instead recommended Han Zhong as the leader, continued to defend Nanyang to fight against the Han army, which made them very embarrassed.

At this time, Sima Sun Jian, an assistant army who had made the first contribution to the first landing in Wancheng, joined forces with Cao Cao and had many contacts with Cao Cao. The two talked to each other and had a little understanding of each other's courage.

In early July, news that Zhang Jiao was captured alive and sent to Luoyang spread, and the Han army in Nanyang, who learned about this news, was shocked.

If Zhang Jiao is finished, doesn’t it mean that Hebei Yellow Turban Army is finished?

Doesn’t this mean that Lu Zhi has successfully pacified the Yellow Turban Army in Hebei?
