In February 187, a peasant uprising broke out in Xingyang County, and several county towns were connected to each other.

Because it was too close to Luoyang, Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty was afraid of repeating the mistakes of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and ordered He Jin to exterminate the Xingyang rebellion as soon as possible.

He Jin ordered his younger brother, He Miao, the new Yin of Henan, to lead an army to suppress it, and used his authority to dispatch several battalions of the Central Forbidden Army to assist him.

These rebels were peasants, untrained, and a veritable rabble.

He Miao easily suppressed them and killed the leader of the uprising. He Jin took the opportunity to invite merit for him, and with the help of Empress He, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty promoted He Miao to the general of the chariot and cavalry, and made the marquis of the liege as a reward.

Because of the frequent outbreak of peasant uprisings in various parts of the country, many local forces have become more and more self-respecting, and the central government's binding force on the localities has become weaker and weaker.

Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty asked the ministers of the court, especially the Liu clan, about how to deal with it. Zongzheng Liu Yan, the minister of the clan, proposed to Liu Hong to restore the state pastor system, suggesting that the central government appoint royal clan relatives or senior ministers to serve as state pastors in the local area.

Expand the authority of the governor and limit the power of the assassin and the county guard. He originally wanted to avoid trouble in Jiaozhou, and wanted to apply for a Jiaozhou pastor for himself.

But later, Dong Fu, a native of Yizhou and a famous scholar of Weiwei, told him that Yizhou has the spirit of the Son of Heaven, and it happened that Yizhou Thorn Shi Jian was gathering in Yizhou, and greed became a trend, and there were many contradictions with the Yizhou scholars.

Coincidentally, a rebellion also broke out in Yizhou at that time, and the leader of the rebels was Ma Xiang, who called himself the Yellow Turban Army, and broke several counties in a row, and the assassin Shi Haojian's ineffective suppression of the uprising, coupled with corruption, gave Liu Yan an excuse to apply for Yizhou pastor and rectify the rule of Yizhou.

Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty naturally trusted the Liu clan very much, agreed to Liu Yan's request, restored the state pastoral system, and appointed Liu Yan as the pastor of Yizhou, Liu Yu as the pastor of Youzhou, and Huang Wan as the pastor of Yuzhou.

When the news reached Bingzhou, Ding Yuan came to find Lu Bu specifically for this matter, "Wu'er, what kind of heart does the emperor have, restore the state pastor, he hasn't recovered together, so he has restored three, and two of them are still from his old Liu family, and that Huang Wan is also an old minister of the two dynasties, this is still not at ease with people with foreign surnames!" ”

Lu Bu didn't care, because he knew that the restoration of the state pastor would definitely happen sooner or later, and now that he was still following the original development of history, it was really proposed by Liu Yan, and it was only three people who were sealed, and even the candidates had not changed.

He comforted Ding Yuan, "Father, it's okay, it's not just us who are not satisfied with this arrangement, I already have a plan to respond to this matter, and besides, you are the assassin of Bingzhou, how can you drip it, do you dare to arrange someone else to be the state pastor in Bingzhou?" ”

"You can rest assured, Liu Hong will not reward our masters, and when the time comes, I will find him to come back. It's the Yellow Turban again, and it's the Northern Huns, so we can't be busy in vain. ”

In April, because of the long-term suppression, Zhang Wen asked for an order to recruit the Wuhuan cavalry from Youzhou to Liangzhou to assist in quelling the rebellion, because the Qianghu cavalry was majority, too mobile, and erratic, and a strong cavalry was urgently needed to restrain them.

The imperial court allowed the performance, and appointed Gongsun Zhan as the captain of the broken captives to lead the Wuhuan cavalry. The Yuyang people who were previously recommended by Mao Sui, and Zhang Chun, the former minister of Zhongshan, were not appointed.

Zhang Chun was dissatisfied, so he instigated his fellow villagers, who were also not reused by Zhang Wen, and the resentful former Taishan guarded Zhang Ju. The two colluded with Qiu Liju, the leader of Wuhuan, and launched a rebellion.

Because of the addition of a large number of Wuhuan cavalry, the rebels were so powerful that they killed several county guards.

The imperial court ordered Gongsun Chan and Liu Yu to jointly quell the rebellion, and crowned Gongsun Chan as the general of Zuo Zhonglang and the marquis of Tingdu.

Gongsun Chan led the army to fight to the death with the rebels, with more victories and fewer losses, and the rebels gradually retreated. Soon, the rebel leader Zhang Chun, Zhang Ju made even more crazy moves, Zhang Ju proclaimed himself the Son of Heaven, and Zhang Chun proclaimed himself General Mitian and the King of Stability.

The two also issued an edict to Tianxia Prefecture and County, claiming that Zhang Ju would be the emperor on behalf of the Han Dynasty and asked the Quartet to welcome him. The rebels regained their momentum and invaded the two states of Qingji, but when Qingzhou was heavily damaged by the Liao Hua of the Qingzhou army and retreated to Youzhou, they were chased and killed by Gongsun Zan all the way.

At this time, Taiwei Zhang Wen was deposed because he had failed to make any progress in counterinsurgency for a long time. Relying on spending money to make points, Cao Song, who had a prosperous official fortune all the way, succeeded Zhang Wen as a lieutenant, and he was Cao Cao's father.

At this time, Emperor Han Ling's body had deteriorated, but he was still addicted to eating, drinking, and having fun.

At this time, he had two princes, Empress He was born to the eldest prince Liu Wei, and Wang Meiren was born to the second prince Liu Xie, Liu Xie was raised by the Empress Dowager Dong, also known as "Dong Hou".

Liu Xie was smart and clever since he was a child, and he liked Emperor Ling, and at that time, he favored Wang Meiren even more, and once planned to abolish Chang Liyu.

However, due to his serious illness, he has long ignored the government and politics, and the power has long been in the hands of He Jin and other relatives, especially the military power is in the hands of He Jin and He Miao brothers.

Liu Hong could only rely on the eunuch forces around him, among which he especially trusted Kong Wu, who was known for his military strategy, Jian Shuo, who was the little yellow gate at the time.

They discussed how to let Liu Xie succeed to the throne, and the biggest obstacle was the general He Jin, and He Jin's biggest reliance was the military power in the hands of him and his younger brother He Miao.

Therefore, to deal with He Jin, the first thing is to take away, elevate or reduce the military power in He Jin's hands, and it can't be made clear, after all, the military power is in the hands of others, so we can only think of some way to seize the opportunity.

However, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty's health deteriorated and there was no time, so they thought of establishing a new central official army, and the previous central forbidden army, both the northern army and the southern army, were all in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, including the final Qingzhou Army's battle of Dingtao, which was completely lost.

The central power was empty of troops, and the establishment of a new army was imperative. Emperor Ling and Jian Shuo thought that this was the best time to appoint someone close to them as the commander of the army and seize most of the military power.

Moreover, the world was not peaceful at that time, and the Yellow Turban Uprising shook the prestige and deterrent power of the central government. Coupled with natural and man-made disasters, rebellions in various places, and uprisings are endless.

After Zhang Chun's rebellion, Changsha's district stars also rebelled and proclaimed themselves generals, and the imperial court moved Sun Jian to Changsha as the Taishou to quell the rebellion.

Sun Jian also just quelled Zhao Ci's rebellion not long ago, became the firefighter of the Han court in the south, Sun Jian was brave and strategic, it took more than a month to quell the rebellion, and he was named Wucheng Marquis for his merits.

Immediately afterwards, Guo Tai and others from the Yellow Turban Department built the Baibo Fortress in the Baibo Valley in Hexi, erected chess and revolted, still waving the Yellow Turban banner.

They were well prepared, and after the uprising, they plundered and annexed several counties in Hanoi. At the same time, the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu Qiangqu died, and his son Yu Fuluo led the men and horses of the headquarters to meet and slaughter Gehu, and launched a rebellion together, and echoed with the Baibo Yellow Turban Army and secretly united.

This rebellion in Bingzhou intrigued Lü Bu, at a time when most of the Southern Xiongnu nobles had already made a lot of money by investing in money banks or participating in privateers, and they were free to their commoners and slaves.
