Chapter 78: The Yellow Turban Uprising

It is said that there are three brothers in Julu County, one Zhang Jiao, one Zhang Bao, and one Zhang Liang. That Zhang Jiao was not a talent, because he went into the mountains to collect medicine, he met an old man, blue-eyed and childish, holding a quinoa cane, calling the horn to a hole, and giving it three volumes of the Book of Heaven, saying: "This name is "Taiping Technique", you get it, contemporary Tianxuanhua, and save the world; If you have a different heart, you will get bad retribution. "Horn asks for a name.

The old man said: "I am an old immortal in Nanhua." "The words are gone, and the breeze is gone. Jiao got this book, studied at dawn and night, could call the wind and rain, and was called "Taiping Taoist". In the first month of the first year of Zhongping, the epidemic was prevalent, Zhang Jiao often held a nine-section scepter, on the basis of traditional folk medicine, with charms and spells, to cure people's diseases, and called himself "a great sage and good teacher". And under this cover, he widely publicized the doctrines and viewpoints of opposing exploitation and accumulating wealth and advocating equality and mutual love in the "Taiping Essentials", which won the support of the poor masses. Zhang Jiao sent eight more disciples to propagate the teachings in all directions. Develop the disciples and "educate the world with good Taoism".

For more than ten years, the Taiping Dao forces spread across the eight prefectures of Qing, Xu, You, Hebei, Jing, Yang, Yan and Henan, with hundreds of thousands of disciples. Mainly poor peasants. Zhang Jiao has more than 500 apprentices, who travel all over the world, and can write talismans and recite mantras. Zhang Jiao divided the congregation into 36 parties (diocesan organizations), with more than 10,000 people in the large party and 6 or 7,000 people in the small party, and each party was responsible for the commander. 在此基础上,张角又按《太平要术》中“顺五行”的思维方法,按照五行相生相克的理论,选定于甲子年甲子日、即灵帝中平元年三月五日举行大起义,讹言:“苍天已死,黄天当立; The year is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious. Let each person use white soil, and the word "Jiazi" is written on the door of the house.

The people of Qing, You, Xu, Hebei, Jing, Yang, Yan, and Henan are all serving the name of Zhang Jiao, a great sage and good teacher. Zhang Jiao sent his party Ma Yuanyi, secretly made gold silk, and befriended the eunuch to seal the title, thinking that he should be in response. Zhang Jiao consulted with his two younger brothers, "The most rare is the people's heart." Now the people's hearts have been smooth, if you don't take advantage of the situation to take the world, it is a pity. "So a private yellow flag was made, and the appointment was made; On the one hand, he made his disciple Tang Zhou, Chi Shubao and the eunuch sealed. No, Tang Zhounai went to the province to complain. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty summoned the general He Jin to transfer troops to capture Ma Yuanyi and kill him; Then Feng Zhen and others will be sent to prison.

......

Xuansu Barracks.

Before entering the camp, he heard Wen Chou's rough laughter.

"Meet the General!" The guards at the door were two soldiers who saw Zhang Zhen and hurriedly saluted respectfully.

Zhang Zhen nodded at the two and entered the barracks.

What caught my eye was that ten soldiers were fighting against Wen Chou, surrounding Wen Chou in the middle, trying to control Wen Chou's operation. Wen Chou was barearmed, as if the cold between heaven and earth had no effect on him.

"Drink!" I saw Wen Chou exert a force, and ten people flew out upside down.

"Hahaha! Not enough...! Just as he was about to continue, he happened to see Zhang Zhen, "Lord." ”

Wen Chou waved his hand, and the ten soldiers were pardoned: "Lord, why is it so early today?" ”

"Recently, I feel that the force has reached a bottleneck, come and ask if there is anything you can do."

Wen Chou spared his head in embarrassment, and said: "I haven't heard of this lord, I only remember that it seems to have something to do with it." ”

"Oh?"

"However, the eldest brother should know better!"

"Boshan? Good! ”

Half a quarter later.

After listening to Zhang Zhen's remarks, Yan Liang asked, "I see, does the lord know how to exercise his body and practice qi?" ”

"Well, a rough understanding, not very clear."

"Listening to what the lord said, it should be that he has completed the stage of forging his body and practicing qi, and the lord can try to mobilize the qi of the dantian, for example, gathering in all parts of the body, which is also a long process, when the lord can do whatever he wants, he can reach a higher level. It is roughly divided into four stages, Qi training is the first stage, this stage is generally the easiest to reach, as long as there are basic Qi training methods can be achieved, in the dantian to gather cyclones and travel the meridians of the whole body, you can. The second stage is to gather qi, using the qi in the dantian for one's own use, and the most obvious effect is to increase strength, speed, reaction, and resistance to blows. The third stage, the attached troops. At this stage, you can really realize the weapon in your hand like an arm, and now I am at this stage. The fourth stage, external release. That only exists in legends, and now I'm afraid that guy is the closest to this realm. ”

Zhang Zhen asked suspiciously, "Oh? Are you talking about that guy Lu Bu? ”

"Yes, I just haven't seen it with my own eyes, and I'm not very sure, but he alone can suppress my two brothers, at least he has touched the threshold of this realm." Yan Liang replied affirmatively.

After Zhang Zhen understood the situation, he said goodbye to Yan Liang: "No wonder, I was captured alive by Lu Bu in one round, what a deal, this guy is almost super-god!" Could it be that there is really true qi in this world? ”

......

Winter goes to spring.

After a few months of gathering energy, there is finally some results, and there are signs of loosening.

Taishou House.

Zhang Zhen was handling government affairs, and Tian Feng walked in with a piece of information.

"I'm afraid the world is going to change."

"Oh? Could it be that Zhang Jiao has already revolted? ”

"It's the lord, Tang Zhou told the truth, Ma Yuanyi was killed by He Jin, Zhang Jiao heard that the governor was exposed, raised troops in the starry night, called himself "Great Sage and Good Teacher", called General Tiangong, called Zhang Bao General Digong, and Zhang Liang was General Rengong.

Zhang Jiao divided his sphere of influence into 36 districts, called "Fang", with 13,000 or 4,000 people in Dafang and 6,700 people in Xiaofang, and each side elected a leader called Qu Shuai, all of whom were led by Zhang Jiao.

Zhang Jiaoyan said to the public: "Today, the luck of the great Han will come to an end, and the great sage will come out." You and others should obey the heavens and be peaceful. ”

In a hurry, the army rebelled, and the people of all directions, wrapped in yellow scarves, rebelled from Zhangjiao as many as four or five hundred thousand. The Yellow Turbans were huge, and the officers and soldiers were in a hurry.

There are countless people who come to Zhang Jiao, and some even sell their wealth and drag their families with them. People scrambled to be the first to rush along the way, and it is said that tens of thousands of people died in the middle of the way!

The general He Jinzuo asked Emperor Ling to send down the edict quickly, ordering all places to prepare for the emperor and ask for meritorious service to the thief. Emperor Ling hurriedly sent Zhonglang to Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Jun, each of whom led elite soldiers and divided them into three ways to ask for it.

I heard that Emperor Ling also sent a eunuch to inform the lord that he would send troops to fight for the yellow turban, and he would dare to arrive soon. ”

After listening to Tian Feng's report, although Zhang Zhen already knew about the Yellow Turban Uprising, when it really came, he was inevitably a little overwhelmed: "Is it? What is Yuan Hao's good strategy for this dispatch. ”

"As the general of Zhenbei, the lord naturally wants to send troops, but fortunately, the lord did not report before, and Fuyu and Wofu have already returned to Shun, we can use this as an excuse to say that the border is not stable and it is not appropriate to send a large number of troops." Tian Feng said slowly.

"Oh? What does this mean? ”

"This Yellow Turban Uprising is the source of the beginning of cholera, and it is a self-digging soul grave to recruit volunteers from all over the country to fight against the Yellow Turbans. After the end of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, all parts of the country supported the army and respected themselves, and in the future, the world will be in chaos, the princes will be divided, and the lord will not be able to stay out of the matter, so he can't expose his strength prematurely! ”

"That's right!" Tian Feng, who is worthy of being far-sighted, has already guessed the division of the heroes in the future with some intelligence.

Tian Feng continued: "However, the yellow scarves are poor people, if they can be used by the lord, the lord can get soldiers. Presumably the lord should be clear? ”

After listening to Tian Feng's words, he said eagerly: "Yuan Hao, teach me!" ”

"Lord, the vast land of Buyeo and Wofu, as well as the Wa Kingdom that the lord said, all need a large population, isn't this ready-made?"

After hearing this, Zhang Zhen was like an initiation: "Okay, Yuan Hao's words, I understand." ”
