Volume 3 The Yellow Turban Chapter 74 The Yellow Turban! Yellow Turban!
In 184 A.D. (the year of Jiazi), Zhang Jiao met with his followers on March 5 to raise an army against the Han Dynasty with the slogan "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the year is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious".
And because Zhang Jiao firmly believes in the five virtues, according to the speculation that the five virtues have always said, the Han is the fire virtue, the fire gives birth to the earth, and the soil is yellow, so all the believers tie the yellow scarf on their heads as a sign, symbolizing to replace the decaying Han court.
On the one hand, Zhang Jiao sent people to write the word "Jiazi" on the door of the Yamen as a recognition, and on the other hand, he sent Ma Yuanyi to Jingzhou and Yangzhou to gather tens of thousands of people to Jizhou to prepare, and went to Luoyang several times to collude with the eunuchs Feng Xu and Xu Feng, wanting to cooperate with the inside and the outside.
However, a month before the uprising, a disciple of Zhang Jiao named Tang Zhou told the whistleblower and confessed to Ma Yuanyi, the inner director of the Beijing Division, and Ma Yuanyi was split by the car.
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty knew about the Yellow Turban at this point, and was furious, and sent officers and soldiers to vigorously arrest and kill believers in Taiping Taoism, involving more than 1,000 people, and ordered Jizhou to hunt down Zhang Jiao.
Due to the suddenness of the incident, Zhang Jiao was forced to attack in February a month in advance, and the mighty Yellow Turban Uprising in history began!
Because the insurgents tied yellow scarves on their heads, they were called "yellow turbans" or "moth thieves", Zhang Jiao called himself "General Tiangong", and Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were respectively "General Digong" and "General Rengong" in the northern Jizhou area.
Within a month, wars broke out in 28 counties in seven prefectures across the country, and the Yellow Turban Army was overwhelmed, and the prefectures and counties were lost, and the officials fled, shaking Kyoto.
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty saw that Taiping Dao was so powerful, and hurriedly took He Jin as the general on the Wushen Day in March, and led the five battalions of Yulin to be stationed in Duting, and ordered weapons on the hour to guard the Beijing Division.
In addition, the Kyoto Pass of Hangu Pass, Otani, Guangcheng, Yique, Yuyuan, Revolving Gate, Mengjin, and Koheijin were set up to garrison the Kyoto Pass.
He ordered all prefectures and counties to prepare for battle, train soldiers, count weapons, and gather rebels.
Seeing that the time had come, Huangfu Song demanded that the ban on the party be lifted and that the palace money and horses from the West Garden be given to the sergeants to boost morale.
Then, Lu Yi said to Emperor Ling: "The disaster of the party has been accumulated for a long time, if you conspire with the Yellow Turban, I am afraid that the Han Dynasty will really be finished." ”
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty accepted the proposal, granted amnesty to the party members on Renzi Day, returned the migrants, asked the ministers of all families to donate horses and crossbows, and recommended the descendants of the generals and people with deep strategies to the bus bureau for inspection.
On the other hand, he sent elite troops to suppress the chaos in various places: Lu Zhiling's deputy general Guan Yu led the five colonels of the Northern Army to take charge of the northern front and deal with Zhang Jiao's main force.
Huangfu Song led an army, controlling more than 40,000 people from the Five Schools, the Three Rivers Knights and the newly recruited elite warriors, to defeat the Yellow Turban Army in the Nanyang area.
At this time, Zhang Mancheng attacked and killed Chu Gong, the defender of Nanyang County, and responded to Zhang Jiao, and Huangfu Song heard about it, and ordered the deputy general Cao Cao to hunt with him outside Nanyang City.
The Han army did not gain in the first battle, in April, Huangfu Song's army was defeated by the Yellow Turban Zhang Mancheng and retreated, Huangfu Song could only be stationed in Wancheng to defend, was besieged by Zhang Mancheng led a large army, the Han army was few, and morale was low.
At this time, the Runan Yellow Turban Army defeated Taishou Zhao Qian in Shaoling, and the Guangyang Yellow Turban Army killed Youzhou Assassin Shi Guo Xun and Taishou Liu Wei, and the Yellow Turban Army did not show signs of defeat due to the actions of the Han Dynasty.
At this time, there was bad news in Yingchuan, Bo Cai led tens of thousands of yellow scarves from Jizhou to Yingchuan to kill, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was in a hurry, recruiting talented people from all over the world to resist the yellow scarves.
In Erxian Village, everyone gathered together.
"Report ......!"
Guo De hurriedly ran in and reported to Li Zhiyu: "Master Qiyu, there is a yellow turban thief wave who led more than 100,000 horses to Yingchuan!" ”
Hearing that the Yellow Turban Thief was coming to Yingchuan, Li Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, and thought: "It's finally here, if he doesn't come, I'm always worried about it, and now that I'm here, then there's nothing to say, let's fight!" ”
Thinking of this, Li Zhi suddenly stood up and shouted, "Everyone listen to the order!" ”
"The subordinates are here, please give an order!" Immediately the people stood up and bowed to the command.
"Order, Guo San led 10,000 horses and horses, stationed in Erxianzhuang, transferred all the people in Guojia Village to Erxianzhuang, and opened all the organs in front of the village, if the thieves came, stick to it and wait for help."
"Whoa! Please rest assured, the lord will swear to the death to ensure that the village is safe! Guo San saw that Li Zhi entrusted his family to him, so he issued a military order.
Li Zhiyan nodded, and then ordered: "Order, Yang Ying will lead 5,000 men and horses as the vanguard, open the mountains when encountering mountains, build bridges when encountering water, and open the way for the army!" ”
After Yang Ying heard this, his face was sad: "If his subordinates are pioneers, then the safety of the lord ......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Zhiyang's hand: "No need to say more, do what you order!" ”
"Whoa!" Yang Ying saw that Li Zhi was resolute, so he responded loudly.
"Order, Xu Huang will bring 20,000 infantry, 7,000 archers, 3,000 cavalry, and 30,000 troops for the Chinese army.
"Whoa!" Xu Huang heard Li Zhi's order for him to be a general, and promised loudly.
Li Zhi nodded, stood up and looked at everyone: "Everyone, when today's troubled times have been revealed, we and other people who are struggling under this troubled times should work together to fight against the Yellow Turban Moth Thief!" ”
This is everyone standing up together: "Fight together against the moth thief!" ”
Yingchuan Yangzhai County Ya.
Yang Zhai County Ling sighed because of the Yellow Turban incident, and frowned: "What can I do about this?!" Hundreds of thousands of horses, and no other reinforcements, how can I defend this Yang Zhai?! ”
"Report...!" At this time, a tolerance came from outside, and he reported loudly: "Qiyu County, there is a large team of people from outside the city, and the banner looks like my Han official army!" ”
"Oh?" The county magistrate was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly stood up: "Take me to take a look!" ”
When the two of them came to the top of the city, they saw a soldier and horse walking slowly in the distance.
This army, the front and back are about seven or eight miles apart, into the front, middle and rear three phalanxes, when marching, the phalanx is also neatly aligned, very spectacular.
Seeing this, the county commander knew that these people were by no means moth thieves, so he hurriedly looked at the front banner, only to see that the banner read: Hangu Township Hou Li.
Seeing this, the county commander was overjoyed, of course he knew who the ancient townsman was, and he handled Li Zhi's household registration at the beginning, but he didn't expect to be saved by Li Zhi today, it was really impermanent!
After the county commander sighed in his heart for a while, he hurriedly said to the errand officer on the side: "Hurry up and open the city gate and welcome the ancient villagers into the city!" ”
After the errand officer left, the county commander excitedly shouted to the sky: "My Yang Zhai is finally saved!" ”
After shouting, he thought for a moment and felt that it was very inappropriate to entrust such an important matter to an errand officer.
"No! Let's go and greet the ancient villagers in person! With that, he hurried down the wall and ran to the gate.
Halfway through the run, the county commander suddenly stopped, found a soldier guarding the city, and said to him: "You go and inform the county magistrate and ask him to buy a good banquet on the table." ”
After saying that, after seeing the man nod, he hurried to the city gate again.
When the county commander ran to the city gate, the city gate had already opened, and seeing this, he hurriedly ran forward and stood at the city gate waiting for Li Zhi's arrival.
Li Zhi looked at his magnificent military momentum in the army at this time, and he was very proud in his heart, which was the capital he had accumulated for several years.
At this time, Guo Jiayu immediately stepped forward and pointed to Li Zhi in the direction of Yangzhai City: "Brother, look, my senior brother must have seen my brother coming and was greeting my brother at the gate of the city." ”
Li Zhi took a look, but it was not exact, he saw a person in front of the city gate, with a few officials waiting there.
Seeing this, Li Zhi ordered: "Pass my military order and speed up the march!" ”
"Whoa!"
