Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Yellow Turban Uprising

"Now that the Yellow Turban Rebellion has broken out, the whole Han will also be in chaos! Then it is even more impossible for me to return to Luoyang. ”

"Besides, in Huangzhong, Caohan and other places, there are indeed civil uprisings, and Liangzhou will also be in chaos. We should hold on to Jincheng County, this is fundamental. ”

Li Mu's heart was settled, and he said in a deep voice.

"The Lord is right! Right now, the imperial court is eager to exterminate the Kwantung thieves, so naturally it has no time to take care of Jincheng County! ”

"When Liangzhou is in turmoil, the lord will rise up from time to time to defeat the traitors in Liangzhou! At that time, the actual control of Liangzhou will naturally fall into the hands of the lord. ”

"At that time, even if the court is unwilling, it can only be enthroned as the lord and assassinate the history of Liangzhou."

Xu Shu nodded and groaned.

"Right now, there are 33,000 soldiers in Jincheng County, which is enough for the time being!"

"Immediately order Xu Huang, Dian Wei, and Chen to the three departments, strictly train the sergeants, and guard Jincheng County, Yuzhong County, and Lingju County."

"The garrison of Yunwu City only rests for three hours a day, day and night, and strictly drills!"

"When Liangzhou is in turmoil, send troops to suppress thieves!"

Li Mu nodded and said in a deep voice.

Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong, Xu Shu and others went as promised.

……

But he said that Emperor Han Ling was terrified when he saw Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban thief, who was so powerful that he had the power to devour the heavens and destroy the earth!

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty hurriedly issued an edict, ordering the general He Jin to lead the soldiers of the five battalions of Yulin to stay in Duting and guard the Beijing Division.

The imperial court also set up garrisons at the passes of the capital divisions such as Hangu Pass, Datani, Guangcheng, Yique, Yuyuan, Xuanmen, Mengjin, and Xiaopingjin.

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty ordered all states to strictly defend, and ordered all states and counties to train soldiers, repair armaments, gather rebels, and be ready to fight at all times to exterminate the rebels!

The imperial court appointed Lu Zhi as the general of the North Zhonglang and Zhu Jun as the general of the Right Zhonglang!

Lu Zhihe, the deputy general, led the soldiers of the five colonels of the Northern Army, was in charge of the northern front, went north to Jizhou, and confronted Zhang Jiao's main force.

……

Pingbei general Huangfu Song and right Zhonglang general Zhu Jun, each led an army, controlled the five schools, the Sanhe cavalry, and the newly recruited elite warriors, a total of more than 40,000 people, from the Beijing division to the south, crusading against the Yellow Turban Army in the Yingchuan area.

Zhu Jun, the general of the right middle lang, Sun Jian, who was in Xiapi at the time of recruitment, was Sima of the Zuojun!

Sun Jian took his fellow villagers and recruited more than 1,000 elite soldiers in Huaishui and Surabaya, and then joined Zhu Jun.

At the beginning of April 184, Zhang Mancheng, the commander of the Yellow Turban Canal, broke through Wancheng and killed Chu Gong, the Taishou of Nanyang.

Zhu Jun, the general of the right middle lang, was defeated by the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai Bocai on the way to help Wancheng.

Zhu Jun had no choice but to retreat to Yingchuan County Changshe with Pingbei General Huangfu Song, stick to the reinforcements, and defend the Yellow Turban Army!

The Yellow Turban Qu Shuai Bocai, with the power of the new victory, led a large army to besiege Changshe City. The Han army was small and demoralized.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun are worthy of being famous generals in the late Han Dynasty, defending the city properly, and Bocai cannot be broken for a long time.

In May 184, the imperial court appointed Cao Cao as the commander of the cavalry, and ordered him to gallop south to aid Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun.

At this time, the Yellow Turban Army led by Bo Cai gradually lost morale, but they did not understand the art of war, and set up camp in a lush land.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun attacked the camp at night and burned the camp of the Yellow Turban Army, and the Yellow Turban Army was defeated without a fight.

Just when Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun led the Han army to pursue and kill the Yellow Turban Army, Cao Cao, the cavalry captain, led the army to arrive, and the three armies surrounded and killed the Yellow Turban Army.

In this battle, the Han army beheaded tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops and won a complete victory.

When the imperial court heard this good news, they were overjoyed! Cao Cao was appointed as the prime minister of Jinan because of his merits! So, Cao Cao rushed to Jinan, Qingzhou, to take office.

……

In June 184, Nanyang guarded Qin Jie, defeated Zhang Mancheng, the commander of the Yellow Turban Canal, and killed Zhang Mancheng!

The Yellow Turban Army also elected Zhao Hong as the commander of the canal. Zhao Hong led more than 100,000 Yellow Turban troops to occupy Wancheng.

After the victory of Changshe, the Pingbei general Huangfu Song and the right Zhonglang general Zhu Jun entered the Yellow Turban Army of Runan County and Chen State in Yuzhou!

The two led the army to pursue Bocai all the way to Yangzhai in Yingchuan County, and Bocai escaped by chaos!

The Han army defeated Peng Tuo, the commander of the Yellow Turban Canal, in Xihua, Runan County.

The remnants of the Yellow Turban Army in Yuzhou were routed all the way and fled to Wancheng, preparing to join forces with Zhao Hong.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun pursued the Yellow Turban Army all the way to Wancheng. Right Zhonglang General Zhu Jun's subordinates, Zuojun Sima Sun Jian, fearless of life and death, entered the city first. Sun Jian's subordinates were greatly encouraged and climbed the city wall one after another.

In this battle, the Han army broke the Yellow Turban Army and beheaded tens of thousands! Huangfu Song and others successfully exterminated the Yellow Turban Army in the northern part of Jingzhou.

Zhu Jun played Sun Jian's merits to the imperial court, and the imperial court conferred Sun Jian as the Sima of other departments.

……

Zhu Jun, the right Zhonglang and Xu Xuan, the assassin of Jingzhou, and Qin Jie, the Taishou of Nanyang, a total of 18,000 Han troops, besieged Zhao Hong, the commander of the Yellow Turban Canal, and Zhao Hong died in battle!

Han Zhong was promoted to the commander of the Yellow Turban Qu, and Han Zhong saw that the Han army was powerful and was forced to lead the people to surrender to Zhu Jun. Qin Jie, because of a personal grudge, killed Han Zhong to vent his anger!

As a result, the Yellow Turban Army rebelled and elected Sun Xia as the commander of the Qu.

In November 184, Zhu Jun led his army to kill Sun Xia and more than 10,000 Yellow Turban troops in Jingshan Mountain in Western Hubei. At this point, the Yellow Turban Army in Nanyang County was basically wiped out.

……

On the other hand, Bei Zhonglang sent Lu Zhi and the sect members north to Jizhou. Zhang Jiaoqin led a large army to block the Han army led by Lu Zhi.

The two armies fought several times, Lu Zhi broke Zhang Jiao, and the Han army killed more than 10,000 Yellow Turban Army. Zhang Jiao had no choice but to retreat to Guangzong.

Lu Zhi and the members of the sect led the Han army and pursued Zhang Jiao all the way to Guangzong.

During this period, Liu Bei, after King Jing of Zhongshan, and his brothers-in-law Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also joined Lu Zhijun and made a lot of meritorious contributions!

Just when Lu Zhi was about to break through Guangzong City, Emperor Ling of Han sent Zuo Feng to inspect the military situation. Lu Zhi was an upright person and did not want to flatter Zuo Feng, so Zuo Feng played to Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty and framed Beizhong Lang for his ineffective battle.

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was furious, relieved Lu Zhi of his military power, and escorted Lu Zhi to Luoyang for questioning!

Liu Bei's three brothers also left the Han army!

……

The imperial court adjusted its strategic deployment and appointed Dong Zhuo as the general of Dongzhonglang, replacing Lu Zhi, and continued to attack the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou.

The imperial court ordered the Pingbei general Huangfu Song, Keri to go north and rush to the aid of Dong Zhuo's department.

Huangfu Song went all the way north, and in August in Cangting, Dongjun, captured the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai Bu Ji alive, and killed more than 7,000 people.

Dong Zhuo couldn't break through Guangzong City for a long time, and was defeated by Zhang Jiao, and he was embarrassed.

Zhang Jiao, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, died of illness in Guangzong City in September 184.

In mid-September, the Pingbei general Huangfu Song led his army across the Yellow River and fought Lianke all the way.

At the beginning of October, Huangfu Song besieged Guangzong City, and Zhang Liang, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, personally led a large army to battle, but was defeated by Huangfu Song.

The next day, Zhang Liang led his army to provoke the Han army, and Huangfu Song did not fight.

Zhang Liang had no choice but to withdraw his troops and return to the camp, at which time the morale of the Yellow Turban Army was already very low.

Huangfu Song sent troops at night and raided the Yellow Turban Army at dawn, and the two armies fought until the afternoon, killing Zhang Liang and more than 30,000 people.

When the Yellow Turbans fled to the river embankment, more than 50,000 people fell into the water and died, and many more were captured.

Huangfu Song will break Zhang Jiao's coffin and kill the corpse, and pass on the head of the Beijing Division!

In November, the Pingbei general Huangfu Song and Julu Taishou Guo Dian broke through Xiaquyang, beheaded Zhang Bao, and captured more than 100,000 people.

At this point, the Yellow Turban Rebellion has been temporarily quelled!
