Chapter 160: The Yellow Turban Uprising
The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world is lucky!
In the seventh year of Guanghe, that is, in the year of Jiazi, Zhang Jiao took advantage of the situation, and rose up by killing the power of the golden dragon of luck and by virtue of the reputation of operating Taiping Road for many years.
But there is no way to do it, something went wrong before, there was a traitor, so that he slaughtered the golden dragon of luck before he was ready, so that not only exposed the Taiping Dao, but also killed a thousand enemies and damaged eight hundred, and was eaten by the golden dragon of luck.
Now it's hard to ride a tiger, and the arrow is on the string, so I have to send it!
For a time, nearly 30 counties in Qing, Xu, You, Hebei, Jing, Yang, Yan, and Henan prefectures corresponded at the same time.
Hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban Taiping followers won the grain and followed, not to mention the ordinary people who were coerced, but even millions.
The momentum is huge, far from being comparable to the old things of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang back then.
Taiping Dao is centered in Jizhou, with disciples all over the eight states, with the great sage and good teacher as the core leader, is the general of Tiangong, and his two brothers Zhang Bao Zhang Liang Territory Gong General, Rengong General.
It is divided into 36 squares, with more than 10,000 people in the big party and 6 or 7,000 in the small square. One side is standing and one side is handsome, there are Zhang Niujiao, Chu Feiyan, Huang Long, Zuo Xiao, Yu Yigen, Zhang Baiqi, Liu Shi, Zuo Mustache, Zhangba, Pinghan, Dahong, Sili, Yuancheng, Luoshi, Lei Gong, Fuyun, Baique, Yang Feng, Yu Poison, Wulu, Li Damu, Bai Huan, Zhenggu, Ku Worm, Zhang Mancheng, Bo Cai and others.
Although the Taiping Road Incident had to be advanced because of the Tang and Zhou Dynasties, there were some storages, but in the end, the grain was widely accumulated, and the wall was dug deep for many years.
As for the Han Dynasty? Although natural disasters continued, in the end, peace lasted for a long time, and the Manan Mountains were put into storage, and the local armaments were long abandoned, except for the borders.
One side is unintentional and unintentional, waiting for work at ease, one side is ignorant and unprepared, one side is lazy and has not trained for a long time, and although one side is not a regular army, but with a large number of people, the outcome is doomed from the beginning.
As soon as the Taiping Road happened, it swept through the eight states with the situation of destroying the withering and decaying, and pulling up the mountains and mountains.
Everywhere they passed, the states and counties were lost, the officials fled, and the court was shaken.
Of course, peasant uprisings have one characteristic, that is, coercion, Taiping Dao is no exception, good guys, there are many people, taking advantage of this boom, it is like a snowball, accumulating bigger and bigger.
This time, not to mention the Spirit Emperor who is drunk and dreams of death, even the family members who sit and watch it become can't sit still now.
As I said earlier, there is no shortage of people with vision in the world, but everyone sees through it and doesn't say it.
A family of iron, a dynasty of flowing water.
The family is arrogant, they don't take Taiping Dao in their eyes at all, they are just a chess piece, a pioneer for the king, used to achieve their own goals. For example, the dismissal of the party, such as military merits, and so on.
But with Zhang Jiao slaying the dragon, as the Taiping Dao was like a bamboo, things seemed to be out of their control, and many of the clans who originally looked down on the Taiping Dao did not hold on under the first wave of blows, and directly destroyed the clan, and they finally couldn't sit still.
So there were repairs to weapons and fortifications of the city.
With He Jin's rate, Yulin and the five lieutenant battalions guarded Luoyang, and added the eight captains near Luoyang.
With the dispatch of Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Lu Zhi and others, elite soldiers from all over the country were mobilized to suppress the Yellow Turban Army.
It's just that although the imperial court is huge, it is precisely because of the huge size that it is bloated and bureaucratic, and it cannot be talked about efficiency for a while, so it is ordered that local officials, landlords, and clans lead troops to war, and finally reward meritorious deeds.
For a while, the major princes in the future began to appear one after another, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Sun Jian, Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shu, Tao Qian and so on.
The country is picturesque, how many heroes at one time!
Of course, Fang Qingshan is naturally indispensable to this.
Although Fang Qingshan has not been in Donglai County for a long time, there are Xi Zhicai and others who have made a move, and Fang Qingshan has mentioned that he has long been operating like an iron bucket, not to mention the Yellow Turban Army, it is the immediate family, it is good not to cause trouble, Fang Qingshan doesn't care much, once he wants to be Yang Feng Yin, he wants to get Longwangshu, he wants me to be the master of my territory, etc., he is either attacked by bandits, or he is invaded by horse bandits and pirates, and after a long time, they will be honest, because the dishonest ones are no longer there.
Fang Qingshan left the Chinese army, that is, the thousands of soldiers and horses he focused on cultivating at the beginning, with Dian Wei as the general, sitting in the center, and sending Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, and Tai Shici out to lead the dispatch with drama Zhicai.
Although the Yellow Turban Army has many people and is not lacking in elites, it is much worse than Fang Qingshan, plus Guo Jia has been prepared, when the Yellow Turban Army is like a bamboo and has a great chance of sweeping the Eight Wildernesses, Qingzhou has already fallen into the hands of Fang Qingshan.
After completely occupying Qingzhou, Fang Qingshan didn't let Guan Yu and the others make a move.
First, although after Zhang Jiao's efforts, Dahan has also entered the countdown, but in the end it has not completely fallen, and it is not good to do too much.
The rafters rot first, so it's better to slow down!
Second, Fang Qingshan's foundation is a little thinner, although there is a recruitment hall, but there is still a shortage of talents, especially basic talents.
To occupy a place, it is necessary to govern a place well, greedy and not rotten, only when it is completely controlled, can it be turned into its own, in order to become its own strength, heritage, not a burden.
Another is that not only are there not enough people to govern the local area, but also the expanded army is also insufficient. After all, a county after the previous is now a state, although it can be like the Yellow Turban Army, but this is just a kind of goods, and it is useless, but it will drag down the combat effectiveness.
Therefore, after occupying Qingzhou, Fang Qingshan asked Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to command the army to occupy a pass to guard Qingzhou, and at the same time clear the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, bandits and other remnants in the territory, and return the people of Qingzhou to a peace, and then sent Xi Zhicai out to pacify the place and take in the displaced people.
Fang Qingshan divided the captured Yellow Turban Army into two, and after some of them were selected and scattered, they filled the army of Guan Yu and the four of them.
Now that the territory is larger, the manpower is naturally a little stretched and needs to be replenished.
The other part was also dispersed and arranged to various places to supplement the local population.
For a while, the entire Qingzhou settled down.
At the same time, after the initial wave of discomfort, the family all reacted and resisted step by step, and the momentum of Taiping Dao suddenly stopped.
In this era, although there is no shortage of master talents in the cold family, such as Guo Jia, such as Guan Yu Dianwei and others, most of the talents are still in the family.
When they really got serious, the advantage of the Yellow Turban Army was gone.
Although the power of the Yellow Turban Army is still very great, it is like the sun that has passed noon, and it has gradually begun to turn into a sunset.
