"Your Majesty, the thief's first horn took the opportunity to heal the poor people, and trumpeted the so-called 'the sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand'. Founded the Taiping Dao and developed believers in various states and counties, and their generation wore yellow scarves on their heads, reaching hundreds of thousands of people. Now he has called on the believers of the Taiping Tao all over the world to revolt, and millions of people have responded.

The rebels were outnumbered and besieged the city, and the garrison of the county was sparse and incapacitated, and several counties had fallen. The rebels burned, killed and looted, officials and soldiers died or died, and there were wars in a total of 28 counties in Qing, Xu, You, Hebei, Jing, Yang, Yan, and Henan prefectures.

I also ask Your Majesty to send troops quickly to suppress the rebellion and rescue the people. ”

A minister reported the rebellion in the past month to Emperor Ling.

"Doesn't that mean that most of the Central Plains and Hebei are all reversed?" The Spirit Emperor said in shock.

This made him suddenly think that it was in these places that there was a rebellion in Qianqin, and finally the high ancestor entered the customs and destroyed it.

Could it be that the big man is going to die in his own hands? Emperor Ling began to tremble, if this is the case, he will have to cover his face with his hair, and he will have no face to face the ancestors and ancestors under the nine springs.

"Your Majesty! Wechen has something to do. At this time, a minister with a length of eight feet and a voice like a bell came out and bowed to Emperor Ling. This voice also pulled him back from his cranky thoughts.

This person is Lu Zhi, the great Confucian of the current world and the current servant. He also had two famous disciples, Liu Bei and Gongsun Zhan.

"What's the matter with Lu Aiqing?"

"Your Majesty, now that the thief army is strong, we should first send soldiers and horses to guard the passes of the Beijing Division, block the thief army from the pass, and ensure that there is no worries. Then he issued an edict to all counties to gather the rebels, order the weapons, strictly defend themselves first, and wait for the imperial court soldiers and horses to be rescued. 、

Some time ago, when the traitors were arrested, His Majesty ordered the recruitment of troops in Sanhe, and now more than 25,000 elite soldiers have been recruited, plus the rebels in various places, which is enough to suppress the rebellion. ”

Emperor Ling seemed to have found the backbone of the main heart, and nodded hurriedly: "Aiqing is reasonable, I don't know who can take on the heavy responsibility of guarding the capital division?" ”

As he spoke, Emperor Ling glanced at the ministers below, a minister with a big shoulder, a round waist, a fat head and a fat brain. It was his eldest brother He Jin, and it was more reassuring to hand over this kind of matter related to the life of his family to his relatives.

The reuse of foreign relatives is also one of the characteristics of the entire Han Dynasty. Because everyone can betray him, the emperor, but relatives will not. Their power comes from the emperor himself, and without the emperor they are nothing.

Of course, there was an accident in the middle, that is, Wang Mang. The family of Empress Lu wanted to replace the Liu family without success, but Wang Mang succeeded in usurping the throne, which is worthy of being the forerunner before Zhang Hao.

He Jin also saw Emperor Ling's eyes and understood what the emperor meant: "The minister He Jin is the Yin of Henan, and it is the duty of the minister to guard the Jingshi, and he is willing to take on this responsibility." ”

Emperor Ling stroked his palms and smiled: "Okay, good, Henan Yin Yong is brave to serve, and I am very relieved." I don't know which Aiqing is willing to defeat the Yellow Turban Ant Thief for me? ”

A seven-foot-long, thin-eyed, long-haired man standing at the end of the court hall was eager to try, but someone was one step ahead of him and stood up first.

"This policy was proposed by the minister, and the minister is willing to lead the army to break the thief for His Majesty." Lu Zhi took the lead in saying.

"The minister of the north is too guarded by the emperor, and Fu Song is willing to quell the rebellion for His Majesty."

For Huang Fu Song, who was born in a family of Jiangmen, this opportunity to go to the battlefield naturally cannot be let go. He had just fought a battle with Qianghu in Liangzhou before, and this time he came to the capital to accept the emperor's reward for him, but he didn't expect to fight again so soon.

At this time, the speaker finally waited for the opportunity and said loudly: "Minister Cao Cao is willing to go to the front line and die for the community." ”

It's just that a contemptuous voice came: "Soldiers, major affairs of the country, Lu Shizhong is a rare Confucian general, and Huangfu Taishou is also a famous general in the world who has been on the battlefield for a long time."

You're just a little talker, and you know how to use soldiers? This is a war related to the fortunes of the Han family, if you lose, can you afford to take this responsibility? ”

Cao Cao's face changed, and he looked at the person who spoke, it was the head of the three princes of the dynasty, Taifu Yuan Kui. He is also the uncle of his good friend Yuan Shao.

He wanted to step forward to argue, but Dr. Guanglu, who was Cao Cao's top boss, turned around and reprimanded: "Cao Mengde! Is it something you can participate in such militaristic affairs, and you won't give me a back seat? ”

Seeing this, Cao Cao had no choice but to return to his position and keep silent.

Doctor Guanglu was a little afraid in his heart: this Yuan Kui is the head of a hundred officials, the fourth generation of the Yuan family, the third duke, and the protégés and former officials are all over the world. Cao Cao, a stunned young man, had already offended a lot of powerful people when he was a northern lieutenant before, and now if he offends Taifu again.

His father is a lieutenant (although he donated money), and Cao Cao himself is a big deal to lose his official position and go home again, but it will be very bad if it implicates me.

Yuan Kui saw that Cao Cao had retreated, so he ignored him, after a eunuch, could it be that he dared to oppose me?

So he continued: "The old minister recommended the Marquis of Duting and the doctor Zhu Jun as the general, but the yellow scarf can be broken. ”

"The minister thinks that what the Taifu said is very true, and he advises the doctor to pacify the rebellion in Jiaozhou, which can be described as a good general in the world."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

More than a dozen courtiers came out in a row to agree with Yuan Kui's point of view, and these people were all people who were inextricably linked to the Yuan family.

"That being the case, then He Jin will be the general, and he will lead the five battalions of Yulin to guard the Beijing division in Duting Town; Lu Zhi was the general of Beizhonglang, and the general of Wuhuan Zhonglang was appointed as the deputy general, leading the soldiers of the five schools of the Northern Army, and summoned the righteous army to Jizhou along the way to pacify the traitors in Hebei; Huangfu Song is the left middle general, Zhu Jun is the right middle lang general, and the five schools, the Three Rivers Knight and the newly recruited soldiers, Aiqing each led half and went to the Central Plains to quell the rebellion. ”

Emperor Ling stood up and bowed to Lu Zhi and the others: "The Jiangshan Sheji of the Han Dynasty will ask the generals. ”

"The ministers will live up to Your Majesty's trust."

After a few days of reorganizing the army, the two groups of men and horses have been equipped, and they slaughtered cattle and sheep in the school yard to sacrifice to the heavens, in order to win the flag and quickly pacify the yellow turbans.

After that, the two men and horses parted ways, and Lu Zhi led the army to cross the Xiaopingjin ferry to the north and enter Jizhou through Hanoi County; Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun went south and entered Yingchuan County after leaving the Tiger Prison Pass.

Watching the two armies go away, Cao Cao did not retract his gaze until the smoke and dust dissipated, thinking: In the future, there will always be a chance to realize my heart's wish on the battlefield, so that those who look down on my origin will regret it.

……

"Kill!"

Zheng Meng held a big knife and split the last Yellow Turban thief left in the city in half, so far, there is no longer a standing Yellow Turban thief on the head of the West Gate of Jixian County.

At this moment, it was almost dark, and the Yellow Turban Army that had originally been attached to the ants to attack the city had long since faded, and he could finally put down his knife and sit down to rest.

A soldier brought a bowl of hot broth to the city tower and respectfully handed it to Zheng Meng, who was sitting on the ground panting.

And he didn't care that his body was red with blood everywhere, and the blood dripped down his hair, he took the broth and swallowed it in one go, and regardless of his blood-stained right hand, he grabbed the piece of meat in the bowl and threw it into his mouth, chewing and swallowing it.

The soldiers on the side looked at Zheng Meng with some admiration, thanks to this warrior stationed at this West Gate in the past three days, he repelled wave after wave of rebel attacks, otherwise this West Gate would have been broken a long time ago.

I have to thank the county magistrate of Fang County, if he hadn't arrived in time with people and stopped the first wave of the offensive three days ago, I don't know how many people would survive in Jixian today.

In the past three days, people who have fled for their lives to Jixian County have been crying about the atrocities committed by the rebels known as the Yellow Turbans in several nearby villages.

Burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil. They also survived because they saw a large group of people coming and fled for their lives in advance, and they could only watch as the other people who didn't have time to flee for their lives either died or joined them with yellow scarves.

Thinking of this, this soldier shuddered, if they entered Ji County, it is estimated that there will be no living people in the county.

"Hey, can you help me get another bowl?"

Zheng Meng was a little embarrassed to hand the bowl to the soldier, which made him a little flattered, and his shy expression and blood stains all over his body had a great impact, making him stunned for a while.

"Ah, okay, you wait for me here, and I'll bring it to you right away." After saying that, the soldier ran down the tower in a panic.

In the Assassin Mansion, Guo Xun of the Assassin History, Liu Wei of Guangyang, Zhang Hao, the county commander of Fangxian County, and all the heads of the nobles in Jixian County are here, and everyone is discussing strategies to deal with the current situation.

Zhang Hao looked at Guo Xun and Liu Wei, as well as everyone present, and felt a little emotional in his heart.

Originally, Zhang Hao planned to take the two elders away, and then find an excuse, such as meeting the people of the brigade before leaving, and then staying in Jixian County to resist the Yellow Turban to earn military achievements.

But I didn't expect it, he didn't need to think of excuses. By the time Zhang Hao arrived, the Yellow Turban Army had already begun to prepare to attack Jixian.

He was in a hurry, could it be that this time he would watch his loved ones in the city die at the hands of traitors?

It's just that he came out with more than a dozen people this time, and the Yellow Turban Army in front of him was at least tens of thousands.

He hurriedly sent people to borrow troops from the dock forts of various manors outside the city, and he personally went to the dock forts of Zhang Fang's two families.

When everyone came back to gather, except for Zhang Hao, who brought all the soldiers of the two families, the others brought back only a few dozen people, and several guards were injured.

But there is no way, just come and say that it is the end of the world soon, and normal people will not believe it. What's more, even if there are really rebels, it is not enough for that soldier to keep for self-protection, how can he lend it to others.

Zhang Hao comforted the injured guards, and then used two family soldiers to gather nearly a thousand people.

By the time they arrived in Jixian County again, the Yellow Turban Army was about to break through the city.

Zhang Hao asked everyone to shout at the top of their voices, learned Zhang Fei's old skills, created a large amount of flying dust behind him, and then led people to rush up.

The commander of the Yellow Turban Army was named Cheng Yuanzhi, and when he saw a Han army suddenly killed in the north, he saw that there were no less than 5,000 people behind him, and thought that the reinforcements of the Han army had come over, so he hurriedly ordered the withdrawal of the troops.

And when Zhang Hao retreated with the yellow scarf, he led his troops into Jixian County.

After Zheng learned about this, he cried and scolded him fiercely, saying that we are old and decrepit, and if we die, we will die, so why should the kid come to the arrow in person and risk death to save him.

Zhang Hao had no choice but to admit his mistake and comfort his mother.

Assassin Shi Guo Xun saw Zhang Hao's courage, and it was no wonder that he did not have an edict to bring troops privately. Instead, he handed over the defense of Jixian County to him, and summoned young people in the city to defend the city, all of which obeyed Zhang Hao's command.

Zhang Hao also did not live up to the expectations of Guo Xun and the people in the city, and resisted dozens of attacks by the rebels outside the city.

Thinking that everyone who was originally present had already died at this moment, but they were all saved by themselves. A thrill of changing history arose spontaneously in Zhang Hao's heart.

"This is just the first step, and I will definitely be able to change the fate of more people."
