8days ago Xuanhuan Novels 5
It is already early summer now, and the morning sun is warm.

On a quiet road, three figures were walking leisurely and slowly from a distance, looking very slowly, but if you look closely, you will find that every step they took, they walked forward for more than ten meters. In just a blink of an eye, they arrived in front of them, one man and two woman, a man was as handsome as jade, wearing a black robe, with eyebrows like swords, clear and transparent eyes shining, a high nose bridge was straight and powerful, with a thin lips, with a faint smile;The woman, one was wearing a white dress, with long black hair shawls, her cherry lips and nose, her skin was fairer than snow, her chest was slightly amplified, and her black and translucent eyes looked at the man beside her from beginning to end, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her; the other was wearing an emerald green dress, with big eyes looking left and right, and making noises constantly. Two fluffy balls hung on the emerald green boots, jumping as she walked.

These three are Long Tianyu, Bai Suzhen and Qingqing. It has been a month since they left the forest, but they still haven't met a single person, so they don't know where this is yet.

Husband, sister, look, there is a carriage.

In fact, with Long Tianyu's cultivation level, he had already noticed that there was something going on there, but he just didn't know what it was.

Looking in the direction Qingqing pointed, an old man in his fifties was driving a slightly worn carriage towards them.

Husband, let's go and ask.

Um.

Long Tianyu stopped the carriage and walked up to ask: Master, can you ask, where is this?

This is Runan. Why did you bring these two girls out? They are so beautiful, and if the Yellow Turban bandits in this area are discovered, they may be suffering.

The old man said kindly.

What, the Yellow Turban Bandits are in chaos, what dynasty is there now.

Long Tianyu almost jumped up, grabbed the old man's collar and asked anxiously.

He remembered that it was already 2012 when he passed the tribulation. What a joke about the Yellow Turban Rebellion? That was a thing of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was impossible for him to travel to the Eastern Han Dynasty if he failed to pass the tribulation.

Cough cough... let go, let go, you... grab me, I... how do you say it.

Oh, sorry, old man, I was a little excited, you said, you said.

Ah, it’s the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Emperor Ling of Han Dynasty, you won’t even know this.

The old coachman touched his neck and looked at him like a ghost.

(As for why this old man knew that there was the title of "Eastern Han Dynasty" and "Han Ling Emperor", please do not delve into it. Well, this is a novel)

Ahem.

Long Tianyu's face turned slightly red. Isn't this my ancestors all lived in seclusion in the deep mountains and forests? This is my first time coming out. Alas, old man, can you take us to Luoyang?

Luoyang?OK, okay, I'm afraid that the two girls' appearance may be in trouble.

You don’t have to worry about this. If you encounter such a thing, we will solve it ourselves. Don’t worry, we will not cause you any trouble. If you give it to you, just treat it as travel expenses.

As he said that, he took out a hundred-year-old ginseng and threw it to the old coachman. He had no gold and silver, so he could only give him the worst ginseng. Although this ginseng is not important to him, for this old coachman, this ginseng is very precious. The money he exchanged is enough for him to live for the rest of his life.

OK, OK, haha, everyone get in the car.

The old coachman couldn't even close his mouth.

Then, the four of them got on the carriage and rushed towards Luoyang.

At this time, Long Tianyu fell into deep thought.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion began in the seventh year of Guanghe in Emperor Ling of Han (184 AD), when the court was corrupt, eunuchs and relatives fought endlessly, and the frontier wars continued, and the country's power became increasingly weak. Due to the severe drought across the country, the grains were not collected and taxes remained unabated. At that time, Zhang Jiaode, the immortal gifted "Taiping Yaoshu" by immortal Zhang Jiao, recruited disciples in the name of giving talismans. Under the order of Zhang Jiao, a man from Julu, all the poor peasants rose up one after another. They slogans of "The Heaven is dead, and the Yellow Sky should be established. The year is in Jiazi. The world is a good slogan. The Heaven refers to the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Huang Tian refers to the Taiping Dao. Moreover, according to the speculation that the Five Virtues always say, the Han Dynasty is fire virtue, fire produces earth, and earth is yellow, so all believers tied the Yellow Turban to the head as a mark, symbolizing the replacement of the corrupt Eastern Han Dynasty.

On the one hand, Zhang Jiao sent someone to write the word Jiazi on the government office to remember. On the other hand, he sent Ma Yuanyi to Jingzhou and Yangzhou to summon tens of thousands of people to Ye to prepare. He went to Luoyang several times to collude with eunuchs Feng Xu and Xu Feng, hoping to cooperate inside and outside.

However, a month before the uprising, Zhang Jiao, a disciple named Tang Zhou, reported to the incoming respondent Ma Yuanyi who was out of the capital. Ma Yuanyi was split by a chariot. The officers and soldiers vigorously arrested and killed believers who believed in Taiping Road, implicated more than a thousand people, and ordered Jizhou to pursue Zhang Jiao.

Because the incident suddenly happened, Zhang Jiao was forced to attack in February one month in advance. It is known in history as the Yellow Turban Rebellion or the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Because the uprisingers tied the Yellow Turban on their heads, they were called the Yellow Turban or the moth thief. Zhang Jiao called himself the General of the Heavenly Duke. Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were the General of the Earth and the General of the Rengong respectively in the area of ​​Jizhou in the northern area.

They burned down the government, killed officials and soldiers, and robbed them everywhere. Within a month, war broke out in all seven prefectures and twenty-eight counties across the country. The Yellow Turban Army was unstoppable, and the prefectures and counties were lost, and officials and soldiers fled, which shocked Kyoto.

Seeing that Taiping Road was so powerful, Emperor Ling of Han hurriedly appointed He Jin as the general on the Wushen day of March, and led the five camps of Yulin to station Yuduting to mount some weapons and guard the capital. He also set up commanders from various Kyoto passes such as Hangu Pass, Dagu, Guangcheng, Yique, Zhuyuan, Arc deputies, Mengjin, Xiaopingjin, etc.; issued an edict to all localities to strictly prevent, and ordered all prefectures and counties to prepare for combat, train soldiers, complete weapons, and convene rebels. For example, Liu Bei was sponsored by merchants Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang to organize the rebel army to surrender to the lieutenant Zou Jing to fight against the thieves and make meritorious contributions.

Huangfu Song advised the lifting of the party ban, and gave it to the soldiers with money from the palace and good horses in the West Garden to improve morale. Lu Qiang also told Emperor Ling: The party and imprisonment have accumulated for a long time, and if they conspire with the Yellow Turban, they will be helpless. The party and fining disaster has accumulated grievances for a long time, and if they conspire with the Yellow Turbans, they may be helpless.

Emperor Ling of Han accepted the proposal and immigrated the party members on the day of Renzi, and returned them to the migrant disciples, requiring all the ministers to donate horses and crossbows, and elect the descendants of the generals and those with a clear strategy from the people to go to the Public Vehicle Bureau for an interview.

On the other hand, elite troops were sent to suppress chaos in various places: Lu Zhi led the deputy general Zong Zheng to lead the five Northern Army soldiers to be responsible for the northern front and deal with the main force of Zhang Jiao; Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun each led an army, controlling the five colleges, Sanhe knights and the newly recruited elite soldiers and warriors, a total of more than 40,000 to attack the Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan. Zhu Jun also submitted a letter to recruit Sun Jian from Xia Pi as the Sima of the Army, and led the young men from his fellow villagers and recruited elite soldiers from various merchants and Huai River and Si Shui River. A total of more than a thousand people set out to join Zhu Jun's army.

On the Gengzi day, Zhang Mancheng attacked and killed Chu Gong, the governor of Nanyang County, and responded to Zhang Jiao.

The Han army did not make any profit in the first battle. In April, Zhu Jun's army was defeated by Huang Turban Bocai and retreated. Huangfu Song had no choice but to join him in the Changshe defense. He was besieged by Bocai. The Han army had few soldiers and his morale was low.

In addition, the Yellow Turban Army in Runan defeated the prefect Zhao Qian in Shaoling, and the Yellow Turban Army in Guangyang killed the Youzhou Governor Guo Xun and the Prefect Liu Wei. The Yellow Turban Army did not show any signs of retreat due to the actions of the Han Dynasty.

In May, the capital saw Huangfu Song being surrounded and sent Cao Cao to lead his army to rescue him.

However, before the reinforcements arrived, Huangfu Song had already had a plan. In the evening, the strong wind blew. Huangfu Song ordered the soldiers to secretly leave the city with torches in their hands, and used the weeds around the Yellow Turban Army camp to attack the enemy with fire, shouting for attack, and the city also raised a torch to respond. Huangfu Song used drums to help the battle and rushed into the enemy's formation. The Yellow Turban Army was in chaos and ran around.

He met Cao Cao's reinforcements again, and was attacked by Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and Cao Cao on three sides, killing tens of thousands of people, and the Han army won a great victory.

In June, Nanyang Prefect Qin Jie fought with Zhang Mancheng and killed Zhang Mancheng.

The Yellow Turban Army changed to Zhao Hong as its commander and occupied Wancheng with more than 100,000 people.

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

On the other hand, Lu Zhi defeated Zhang Jiao in several battles and killed more than 10,000 people.

Zhang Jiao had no choice but to retreat to Guangzong, Lu Zhi built a construction block, dug trenches, and created a ladder, so he could capture the city.

Just as Emperor Ling sent Zuo Feng to inspect the military situation, someone advised Lu Zhi to bribe Zuo Feng, but Lu Zhi refused, so Zuo Feng falsely accused Lu Zhi of ineffective combat to Emperor Ling.

Emperor Ling was furious and used a prison cart to conquer Lu Zhi back to Beijing.

The capital had no choice but to issue an edict to readjust: Huangfu Song went north to Dongjun; Zhu Jun attacked Zhao Hong in Nanyang; and Dong Zhuo replaced Lu Zhi.

The Wudou Midao, which is the same religious form, rebelled in Ba County. The leader of the Wudou Mi Division, Zhang Xiu, attacked the county, but was not valued by the Han Dynasty.

Zhu Jun, Jingzhou Governor Xu Yu and Qin Jie, had a total of 18,000 soldiers besieged Zhao Hong, but it could not be conquered from June to August. The capital had a memorial to conquer Zhu Jun and return to the army. Fortunately, Zhang Wen expressed his affection, so Emperor Ling could not do it.

But Zhu Jun still rushed to attack Zhao Hong, and Zhao Hong was killed and replaced by Han Zhong.

Because Zhu Jun was defeated by a few soldiers, he expanded his defense and built a fortress, and piled up dirt mountains to watch the city.

Zhu Jun's army roared drums to attack the southwest, and the Yellow Turban Army was led away. Zhu Jun personally led 5,000 elite troops to cover the northeast, sneaked into the enemy's rear, and attacked the city. Han Zhong had no choice but to retreat to the inner city.

The Yellow Turban Army was frustrated and its morale was sluggish, so it begged for surrender to the Han army.

Zhang Chao, Xu Zhu and Qin Jie all thought it was acceptable, but Zhu Jun believed that if he accepted it, it would benefit the people and beg for surrender without it, so he did not accept it and rushed to attack the enemy, but he could not conquer it in several battles. Zhu Jun climbed the Tushan Mountain to watch the Yellow Turban Army, understanding that the Yellow Turban Army had no way out, and tried his best to fight, so he failed to conquer.

Zhu Jun then untied the siege. Han Zhong really went to fight and was defeated by Zhu Jun. Zhu Jun pursued Han Zhong for dozens of miles north and killed more than 10,000 people. Han Zhong surrendered, and Qin Jie had always been incompatible with Han Zhong, so he killed him.

This move made the Yellow Turban Army uneasy and he also recommended Sun Xia as the commander to station troops in Wanzhong City.

Zhu Jun attacked again. On November Guisi, Sun Xia was defeated and left. The Han army chased Jingshan in Xi'e, but was defeated again. Sun Xia and more than 10,000 people were killed. The Yellow Turban Army was disbanded and the Wancheng area was pacified.

In the spring of 185, the team returned to Beijing.

On the other hand, Huangfu Song arrived at Cangting in Dongjun in August, defeated and captured Bu Ji alive, and killed more than 7,000 people.

However, Dong Zhuo failed to attack Zhang Jiao and returned without success. On Yisi day, he asked Huangfu Song to continue north.

However, Zhang Jiao had already died of illness and fought with Zhang Liang in October. Zhang Liang's army was stubborn and could not conquer the first battle.

Tomorrow, Huangfu Song closed the camp and rested with the soldiers. On the other hand, he sent people to observe the enemy's actions. The Yellow Turban Army's fighting spirit was a little relaxed. Huangfu Song led his troops at night and raided the enemy's formation at dawn. In the afternoon, he successfully defeated the enemy's army and killed Zhang Liang and more than 30,000 people. When he fled to the river bank, he drowned, and burned more than 30,000 vehicles and baggage, and captured a large number of people.

Zhang Jiao was killed by the coffin and the corpse was sent back to the capital.

In November, Huangfu Song and Julu Prefect Guo Dian attacked Xia Quyang, successfully killed Zhang Bao, and captured more than 100,000 people.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion subsided.
