In April of the third year of Zhongping, Zhang Jiao's disciple, one of the 36 Daqu Shuai, Boling Zhang Niujiao, unwilling to lie down, pulled up the Yellow Turban banner and rebelled.

At this time, Zhao Ci was at his strongest, and the two anti-thief forces, one south and one north, plus Qianghu in the west, shook the imperial court.

Boling is located in the Black Mountain Range, the new Yellow Turban leader Zhang Niujiao reversed, and for a time a large number of Yellow Turbans in the Black Mountain area of Jizhou responded.

The leaders of the Yellow Turbans who rebelled in various departments included Sun Li, Zuo Xiao, Guo Daxian, Yu Yigen, Qingniujiao, Zhang Baiqi, Liu Shi, Zuo Zhangba, Pinghan, Dahong, Sili, Fuyun, Feiyan, Baihuan, Qigu, Luoshi, etc.

Most of them are 20,000 or 30,000 people, and the small part is 6,700,000 people, totaling one million people.

Different from the Zhang Jiao period, the leaders of the Yellow Turban at this time mostly used nicknames, such as Feiyan who was brisk and Zhang Baiqi, who loved to ride white horses.

Originally, there was also a nickname called Huanglong, the leader of more than 10,000 tribes, but as soon as he played the nickname, he was retaliated by Xiahou Lan, and 50,000 Cao soldiers surrounded him and killed him in one fell swoop.

Because most of these resurgence yellow turbans come from the Black Mountain Range, they are also known as the Black Mountain Army, various departments.

Most of the elite of the imperial court went to Xiliang to quell the rebellion, Zuo Feng and Jian Shuo took away two thousand Sanhe cavalry and went south to crusade against Zhao Ci.

had to order the local heroes to resist on their own.

At this time, Cao Jun Canghai Governor Xiahoulan, Deputy Governor Xu Rong and Wang Xiao, Military Division Wang Xiu, and generals Zhang Leigong, Wu Peng, Wang Wei, Liu Pi, and Bian Xi.

led 50,000 Canghai Cao army soldiers, 100,000 Cao army tunding, gathered Cao's "sexual" father-in-law, Liaodong County Dongxiang County Changtian Shao 5,000, Xuzhou wealthy merchant Mi Jia Mi Fang 5,000 parts, and nearly 10,000 heroic rebels close to Cao Jun from various departments.

A total of 160,000 troops became the main force of the crusade against the Montenegrin army.

At the beginning, Cao's old opponent, Zuo Zhangba, was defeated and captured, Zhang Niujiao was brought into the light cavalry by Wang Xiao to "shoot", and was killed by an arrow, and Zhang Baiqi and Bai Huan were captured.

The rest of the Montenegrin tribes were demoralized, and they were not subordinate to each other, so they all fled to Montenegro for a while.

The undercover Sun Li took the lead in advance, and from the beginning of the incident, it developed around Montenegro, coupled with the Cao army's secret delivery of money, food and weapons, and dozens of Cao army's elite soldiers as grassroots generals, so that Sun Li's department rose rapidly.

It also annexed the three departments of Xiaoshuai Sun Qing, Du Chang, and Wang Dang, reaching 80,000 people.

The Montenegrin army fled to Montenegro, which made the prestige of Sun Li, who was half of the host, even more prestigious, and annexed Zuo Xiao and Liu Shi in one fell swoop, making the troops exceed 200,000.

The rest of the troops immediately united to protect themselves, among which Chu Yan, who inherited Zhang Niujiao and changed his surname to Zhang, was the largest alliance with 500,000 coalition troops.

Yang Feng is the second largest alliance, with 300,000 coalition troops.

Since then, Montenegro has been divided into three parts, and they can be regarded as living in harmony with each other, when Xiahoulan led the army to the foot of Montenegro, Sun Li visited Zhang Yan and Yang Feng, and the three of them jointly sent envoys to Xiahoulan to "beg for surrender".

The envoy was brought by Wang Xiu to Luoyang to meet the emperor.

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty accepted his "surrender" and named Zhang Yan as the general of Pingnan, Sun Li as the captain of Montenegro, and Yang Feng as the captain of Jingnan.

The three continue to be stationed in Montenegro.

The Montenegrin army was defeated, surrendered, and moved to Xiahoulan and Cao's army in various places, and obtained 600,000 prisoners and recruited refugees.

Let the total number of Cao's troops exceed 3.5 million.

On the other hand, after nearly a year of research, and Cao's "sex" provided a large number of "medicine" materials, manpower and other resources.

Zhang Zhongjing, a medical saint, has once again made certain achievements in the area of his expertise.

He has developed a recipe that can relieve the discomfort of water and soil, although it has not reached the point of "medicine" to the point of curing the disease, but at least it ensures that there will be no death caused by the failure to adapt to water and soil.

This is undoubtedly a huge piece of good news for Cao's troops, who have more than 2 million people and are preparing to move south.

In September of the third year of Zhongping, the new fields opened in Zhenyang and the new tuntian fields in various places, because the new fields were barren, so the main crops were beans and other coarse grains of fertile land, and in order to increase the diversity of grains, various seeds were purchased from all over the country, such as red beans in Jiaozhou.

However, thanks to new agricultural tools, new types of stacking fertilizer, irrigation by waterwheels and canals, and the exchange of more efficient farming methods and teaching them, the harvest was abundant.

In the granary of Zhenyang County, a large number of coarse grains such as soybeans, cowpeas, red beans, and beans are classified and piled together.

Hundreds of small officials were divided into dozens of small groups with scales, each group had a garrison behind them, and there was a long queue, each of which carried a basket containing a variety of beans and coarse grains.

A bumper harvest is inseparable from paying grain taxes and selling grain, and these officials are the people who collect grain taxes and buy grain in Zhenyang.

"O Lord is righteous and righteous! Unexpectedly, I have lived for seventy-three years, and my peers in the same pavilion have turned into loess, and I am about to go down to be with them, but I see a bright scene in front of me where the tax is only one percent, and there is no miscellaneous tax. ”

In the team, a family of three, a drooping old man, supported by a middle-aged man, said tremblingly, his face flushed with excitement, and next to him was a young woman, carrying a load of beans and coarse grains, respectfully serving.

The middle-aged man was also excited, looked at his father, who was old and had to come over to pay taxes, and then looked at the concubine who had just passed the door and worked hard, and he was called a beauty in his heart, and his confidence in speaking was three points higher:

"And that's not all! Ah Weng, I've been messing around for most of my life, I didn't think that I was over forty, and I didn't touch a woman, but I cut a rebel on the battlefield of Fancheng, and now I haven't taken my wife, a Goguryeo woman from Liaodong, was sent to my house by the lord, and I took a concubine first, thanks to meeting Ming Gong! ”

"That's that!"

The empathy of the front and back queues, the envy of this soldier who has made military achievements on the battlefield is "revealed", and they are full of sunshine.

At this time, Cao's "sex" came to investigate under the escort of the tiger and leopard, and happened to hear the conversation between the father and son, and "Lu" smiled knowingly, and stepped forward to look at the family of three.

Hu San looked at the strange Cao "sex" and his party, and when he saw what he was wearing, he knew that he was a military attaché, so he quickly straightened his waist and gave a military salute: "See the general!" ”

The people around them also stopped talking and all stood up and saluted.

The person in charge of collecting taxes here trotted over and bowed to the end: "Humble Kou Guang see the lord!" ”

"Lord?!"

Now the people around are not calm, I can't imagine that this young military attache is the lord in his mouth, Hu San's eyes widened, and his Goguryeo concubine on the side also secretly looked at Cao 'sex', although he didn't understand, he also knew that it was extraordinary.

"Excuse me!" Cao "sex" waved his hand, smiled, squatted down, stretched out his right hand, grabbed a handful of beans from the Goguryeo basket, and admired it.
