Chapter 739 Solving Gui Bao
After completing this set of operations, Fei Zhan waited for the Han army to strike. As long as the Han army made a move, he could follow up and wipe out the Yellow Turban army.

The actions of the Han army are very sharp.

Guan Yu did not go into battle in person, but arranged for Gan Ning, Shi Huan, Yan Xing, Wei Yan and others to go into battle, leading the soldiers of the Jin and Shu people who were good at fighting in the mountains, and launched a formal attack on the frontier mountainous areas of the entire Yellow Turban Army.

At this moment, the rain and snow weather has ended and the sun has reappeared.

Although the fierce fire oil tanks of the Han army have not yet arrived, the Han army is not an army that cannot attack without a weapon.

Facing the ferocious attack of the Han army all over the mountains and plains, the Yellow Turban Army, which lacked food and clothing and had low morale, soon faced the risk of collapse. The entire front was quickly torn apart by the Han army and could not be maintained at all.

When Xu He was not there, Sima Ju was very worried. While sending people to find Xu He, he asked Fei Zhan for reinforcements, and decided to personally lead people to the front to fight against the Han army, to hold the last line of defense, and prevent the Han army from really breaking through to their core area.

However, the Han army was not their only enemy. The people sent by Sima Ju ran into the Shanyue soldiers under Fei Zhan on the way. They thought the Shanyue soldiers were here to support them.

As a result, he was shot to death by an arrow built by the Shanyue soldiers.

He just fell down on the road, dying with regret.

Later, under the leadership of Fei Zhan, the Shanyue soldiers raided the headquarters of the Yellow Turban Army.

The surprised Yellow Turban troops did not expect the Shanyue soldiers to come to attack them. They were quickly killed through the defense and killed to the core area. A large number of Yellow Turban family members were also threatened.

At this moment, most of the Yellow Turban Army's strength was brought to the front line by Sima Ju to fight against the Han Army. It was never expected that such a catastrophe would be encountered in the rear.

Sima Ju and others were leading the soldiers to make the final resistance on the front line. When they turned around, they found that the old nest had been destroyed.

Seeing that the situation could no longer be controlled, Sima Ju still wanted to fight hard, but he couldn't even gather five people. Everyone was worried about their family members and tried to run away.

So all his thoughts were lost, under the surging offensive of the Han army, he sighed, and killed himself with a knife, without any nostalgia for this world.

With the death of Sima Ju, the organized resistance of the Yellow Turban Army failed.

The Han army fiercely attacked the Yellow Turban Army's lair and destroyed it together with the Shanyue soldiers. The Shanyue soldiers completed most of the work. When the Han army killed them, the Yellow Turban Army's lair had no military resistance.

The Han army launched an attack at noon, and by sunset the battle was over.

Guan Yu took advantage of the last ray of light in the sky to climb the mountain and came to the Yellow Turban Army base camp, where he saw a large number of captured soldiers, family members, and selected officers of the Yellow Turban Army.

He saw Xu He's head, brought it over, and threw it in front of a group of Yellow Turban Army officers. In addition to Sima Ju's body, which was obtained by the Han Army before, the Yellow Turban Army officers saw two familiar faces and burst into tears.

Fei Zhan greeted Guan Yu with a flattering smile, and bowed down in front of Guan Yu with a humble attitude. Guan Yu squinted his eyes and glanced at him, resisting his dislike for him, and stretched out his hand to support Fei Zhan.

"You lost your way and found your way back. You are a hero of the Han Dynasty and the imperial court. This general will definitely ask the imperial court for your credit."

Fei Zhan was overjoyed.

"Thank you General Guan for your kind words! Fei will definitely do his best for the court! Whatever the court needs, as long as Fei can do it, he will never refuse!"

"Ah."

Guan Yu nodded, then looked at the group of tied-up Yellow Turban officers, and then at Cheng Yu who followed him.

"Zhongde, according to the rules, all the officers and their family members are to be executed, and the rest of them are not servants of officials, they are used to pave the way for Yangzhou to build bridges."

"Well, as it should be."

Cheng Yu nodded.

As the marching commander this time, Cheng Yu appeared to be the marching commander of the army, but in fact, Liu Bei used Cheng Yu as the future governor of Yangzhou.

Let him come to Yangzhou first to let him know the specific situation of Yangzhou in the army and prepare for replacing Gui Bao later.

Gui Bao's inattention to the imperial court's orders and his obedience and disobedience have already annoyed Liu Bei. Liu Bei doesn't need an incompetent governor of the state who has to let him solve every problem.

So Liu Bei decided to wait for Guan Yu to stabilize the situation in Yangzhou and initially demonstrate the strong combat effectiveness of the Central Han Army, then remove Gui Bao from the post of governor of the state and let Cheng Yu take over the post of governor of the state.

Annihilating the Yellow Turban Army and pacifying the Shanyue bandits in Danyang County, the situation in Danyang County has stabilized. In this way, the Han army can use Danyang County as an important stronghold in Yangzhou and start operating in Yangzhou.

At the same time, Liu Bei is also preparing to make use of the relationship between Lu Kang and Gu Yong, manage a little power in Wu County, and let his political power take over Wu County.

At that time, holding the two counties of Wu County and Danyang County, it will be regarded as a foothold for the Jiangnan part.

So when Liu Bei learned that Guan Yu had taken care of the Yellow Turban Army in Danyang County and completely wiped out these people, he happily ordered Guan Yu and the troops of the Jiangnan Military Region to be rewarded.

Marching staff officer Guo Jia made key contributions outside the battlefield, so he was commended by Liu Bei and promoted to the head of the general's mansion, and bestowed the title of Marquis of Guannei.

As for Fei Zhan, who "returned from the wrong way" and "corrected after knowing the mistake", Liu Bei paid more attention to it, and believed that Fei Zhan was the fulcrum to leverage the entire Shanyue Group.

So he decided to confer the title of Guiyi Zhonglang General on Fei Zhan, giving him the name of commanding the Shanyue tribe under his command, and then asked him to lead his subordinates to assist Guan Yu in fighting, which belonged to Guan Yu's command sequence.

If there are no problems, the solution to the problem of Yangzhou Shanyue is similar to the solution to the problem of Bingzhou bandits, step by step, there will be no major problems.

Those who are vicious, brutal and disobedient will be killed, and those with more gentle temperaments will be appeased and strive for a peaceful solution. If the Shanyue issue can be resolved peacefully, it will be of great benefit to the development of Yangzhou.

After the reward order was over, Liu Bei began to deliver the order again.

He impeached Yangzhou Governor Gui Bao, thinking that he did not take responsibility, obeyed the court's orders, disrespected the emperor, and did not have the good qualities to serve as Yangzhou Governor. He hoped that the court would dismiss him.

In addition, he decided to recommend his subordinate Cheng Yu, the former head of the general, as the governor of Yangzhou to take on the responsibility of solving the Yangzhou problem.
