Sixty-five years ago, internal unrest and unpeaceful origins arose from court politics, the Yellow Turban Rebellion was initially pacified.

  Chu Feiyan was chased by Lü Bu and had to flee repeatedly. At this time, she really couldn't run anymore, and when she saw the pursuing government army, it was actually the Northern Territory Lü family cavalry that she feared most in her heart. Although she was afraid, she also knew that Lü Bu might not kill them. So she said to Zhang Niudao beside her: "Zhang big brother, the pursuing government army seems to be Lü Bu of the Northern Territory. General Lü may not really want to kill us. I'm really too tired to run, let's stop and rest for a while."

  Zhang Niujiao was also panting and couldn't run anymore, seeing Chu Feiyan slow down, he too slowed down his pace. In fact, his own legs were really unable to run anymore, the crowd behind him also stopped following him.

  Chu Feiyan stopped and panted, looking at Lü Bu from afar and waving his hand. Lü Bu saw that Chu Feiyan was in a sorry state and had no intention of killing them, so he slowed down his horse's pace. As he approached, he saw that Chu Feiyan had one hand on his waist, panting heavily, and the other hand raised towards him, shaking it as he said with his head lowered: "General... please don't chase us for now... we really can't run anymore... let us rest a bit... you can still catch up to us later."

  Lü Bu had no intention of killing, but in front of Lu Zhi, he couldn't show too much, and had to chase and kill for a while. Hearing Chu Feiyan's words, he raised the ghost halberd in his hand, stopped his horse, and said to the soldiers behind him: "Stop. The thief has no horse, and must not be able to escape quickly. We have been killing for a long time, let's rest for a moment before chasing again." The whole army stopped their horses to rest.

  Chu Feiyan was really exhausted and couldn't run anymore, so she unintentionally begged for mercy from Lü Bu. Unexpectedly, Lü Bu actually stopped chasing her and with a squat, he fell to the ground.

  The eastern bandits were also lucky, after a short rest. Zhang Niujiao still didn't dare to have too much fantasy, so he urged Chu Feiyan to run further away, and then set off with the crowd, continuing to flee westward.

  Lü Bu saw Zhang Fei and Chao Yun's troops fleeing, so he pretended to chase them for a few steps, shooting an arrow, and said to the soldiers: "I didn't expect the thieves to run so fast, they can't be caught, it's better to return to camp." So he led the army back to camp. The northern border cavalry also knew that Lü Bu had no intention of killing, so they did not say much and followed Lü Bu back to camp.

  But Dong Zhuo pursued and killed Zhang Bao, chasing him to the outside of the east gate. He happened to meet a group of Yellow Turbans filling in trenches and pushing down barriers. Dong Zhuo was skilled at shooting arrows, so he took his bow and arrow, and with one shot, hit Zhang Bao right on target, causing Zhang Bao to fall off his horse. Dong Zhuo saw this and was overjoyed in his heart. He had achieved a great merit, and led the government troops to pursue and kill them.

  The Yellow Turban remnants, although defeated, were still numerous. After Zhang Bao's death, there was a fierce general named Guan Hai beside him. Guan Hai saw the government army pursuing relentlessly, being chased to the point of exasperation, and with the barricades blocking their way, they found it difficult to escape for the time being. He also saw that the commander of the pursuing government army was not the divine general Lü Bu who killed Zhang Jiao, so his courage increased greatly, and he called on his subordinates to turn around and kill the government army. This man would fight desperately once he was forced into a corner. Dong Zhuo originally had few soldiers, and now the Yellow Turban Army was being pursued to the point of desperation, with nowhere to escape, so they fought the government army to the death. For a time, the two armies were killed together, and Dong Zhuo was no match for them, but instead was defeated by Guan Hai, who killed him in a big way, and he hastily led the remaining troops to retreat back to Guangzong City.

  Gan Hui looked at the fleeing government troops and laughed loudly, saying: "Haha... you dog official, do you think you are Lü Bu?" Then he led the remaining troops to escape over the trenches and barriers, fleeing east into Qingzhou.

  Lü Bu led his troops back to the camp and then came to the Guangzong Prefecture government office to see Lü Zhi. He coincided with Lü Zhi's intention to dispatch personnel again to pursue the remaining Yellow Turbans. When Lü Bu saw that there were more people in the prefecture government office, one of whom he did not recognize. Lü Zhi saw Lü Bu coming and hastily introduced him to everyone. Lü Zhi's disciples Liu Bei and his two brothers Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were familiar to Lü Bu. The other person was the Cavalry Captain Cao Cao.

  Lü Bu saw Cao Cao, whose appearance was not impressive, walking in the crowd and being submerged, his body was also half a head shorter than himself, but his temperament was extraordinary. In his heart, he secretly thought: Is this person going to be the King of Wei in the future? What a pity! The great defeat at Red Cliff lost the opportunity to unify China. If China were unified by him, it would certainly have been an era comparable to the Great Han dynasty.

  Cao Cao saw Lü Bu being introduced by Lu Zhi, and hastily stepped forward to pay his respects with a deep bow. He said: "It's the original Marquis of Wuyang, today I'm truly honored to meet you. When I was in Luoyang, I often heard about your illustrious name, how you led ten riders to trample the Xianbei camp, and three hundred riders defeated three thousand Xiongnu riders, beheading Tan Chao and seizing the fine steed, Swift Wind. Your actions are truly those of a heroic man. Today, you have also beheaded Zhang Jiao's head, you are indeed the great general of our Han dynasty."

  Lü Bu laughed and said: "I've also heard of Meng De's Five-Colored Rod, but I didn't think Meng De's farting skills were bad either. Hahaha..."

  "Haha... that Cao's minor actions can enter the ears of the Marquis of Wu, is truly Cao's good fortune. What Cao says today is not boastful words, but words from the heart."

  Lü Bu nodded and asked: "Where did Meng De come from? When I was chasing the bandits out of the city, none of you were here. How is it that as soon as I returned to the city, it became so lively?"

  Cao Cao said, "I was originally leading the imperial decree to assist Huangfu Song in suppressing the Yellow Turbans. Unexpectedly, I encountered General Huangfu burning the bandits at Bo Cai, and joined forces with General Huangfu to defeat the bandits. General Huangfu and Zhu Gongwei led a group of troops to pursue the bandits towards Runan, saying that General Lu was fighting Zhang Jue in Guangzong and could come to support him. I brought my troops to provide reinforcements. Now that Zhang Jue is dead and the Yellow Turbans have been defeated, I advise General Lu to take advantage of the victory and launch a pursuit, which can eliminate the Yellow Turban rebellion."

  Lü Bu heard Cao Cao say that he could easily quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion, but he didn't know if it was true or not. He walked to a stone bench and knelt down. Lu Zhi saw that Lü Bu had no intention of pursuing the enemy, so he asked: "Earlier, you were chasing after the bandits in the east, what happened?"

  Lü Bu did not answer, but instead asked: "Does Zhang Fei think that the Yellow Turbans can be completely eradicated?"

  Lu Zhi and Cao Cao heard Lü Bu's words, turned cold and deep in thought. Unexpectedly, Zhang Fei beside him said: "The Yellow Turbans have been defeated, the government army is victorious and pursues them, even if they can't be eliminated for a while, it will still be a great victory."

  Liu Bei, who was beside Zhang Fei, hastily interrupted and said: "Yide, you mustn't speak rashly when elders are discussing matters."

  Zhang Fei stopped talking, Lü Bu glanced at the three brothers of Liu Bei and didn't say much. He said to Lu Zhi: "Do you think that Zhang Jiao alone can cause trouble in the Yellow Turban Rebellion?"

  Lu Zhi and Cao Cao listened, both having many thoughts in their minds. The two of them also found a place to sit down. Lü Bu continued: "To be honest, I didn't want to go south to quell the Yellow Turbans, but the imperial order was difficult to defy, so I had no choice but to head south. I have seen many Han border civilians being humiliated and killed by the northern barbarians. Therefore, I resent the external barbarians and want to eliminate them first. However, this Yellow Turban rebellion is not an external threat. Are the Yellow Turbans not people of our great Han? Why do we need to be so hasty in suppressing our own kind? The Yellow Turbans are mostly landless farmers, whose livelihoods are not guaranteed by the government, and who are oppressed too much by the wealthy households. When the people are pressed too hard, they will also riot. Those with treacherous intentions will deceive them, and they will gather to rebel. There are two reasons for the Yellow Turban rebellion. One is Zhang Jue's treachery... Now that Zhang Jue is dead, the leader of the deception has been eliminated. Two..."

  "Hmph. It's just that the imperial court can't get its act together. If it were up to me, I'd take out the bandit chiefs without hesitation. But since the imperial court is so inept, there's nothing I can do about it. You, Zi Gan, are a high-ranking official in the imperial court; you should know this full well."

  Lü Bu stood up and said, "As a general on the border, my responsibility is to guard the border. Although the Xianbei have retreated for now, we still need to be vigilant and defend against them. I received the Emperor's order to eliminate Zhang Jiao's rebels, and since Zhang Jiao is dead, my mission is complete. I don't seek fame or fortune, I just want to return to Daijun as soon as possible. Now that summer is approaching, the harvest season is near. I still need to be on guard against the northern slaves' raids, so I came to bid farewell to you, General Cao. As for the Yellow Turban rebels... you are a wise and understanding person, I don't need to ask how you will deal with them."

  Lü Bu then turned to Cao Cao and said, "If Meng De wants to achieve merit, he can exert himself to the death. I have no intention of killing my own kind to gain merit, so I bid you farewell." Having finished speaking, he bowed slightly to the crowd and walked towards the gate by himself.

  Lu Zhi knew Lü Bu's thoughts and didn't want to stay. Cao Cao wasn't good at keeping him, so they all watched as Lü Bu left, not knowing what to say.
