The Yellow Turban Army was quickly extinguished, and Liu Hong was afraid that the power of his relatives and ministers was too large, so he had to rely more on the Ten Standing Servants to eliminate the Yellow Turban Army.
The Ten Standing Servants were supported by Emperor Liu Hong and held heavy power, led by Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, and tied each other.
Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang sent people to ask for money from the soldiers who had made meritorious contributions to the encirclement and suppression of the Yellow Turbans, and if the soldiers did not give them, they would be dismissed from their posts on other grounds.
In the face of Zhao Zhong, Zhang Rang and others' requests for bribes, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and others refused to give them.
Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others dismissed them from their official positions on trumped-up charges.
The ministers of the DPRK and China dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, the government became worse and worse, and the people were resentful.
The stars in Changsha District rebelled, Yuyang Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun rebelled, Xiliang Bianzhang and Baiyu in the White House rebelled, and the distress recital from all over the country flew like snowflakes to report the emergency, but the ten permanent servants suppressed this recital and did not upload it to Liu Hong.
One day, the emperor drank and had fun with the ten permanent attendants in the back garden, consulted the doctor Liu Tao, and went straight to the emperor and cried.
The emperor asked the reason.
Liu Tao said: "The world is in danger, and Your Majesty still drinks and has fun with the eunuchs!" ”
The emperor said: "The country is peaceful, what is the danger?" ”
Liu Tao said: "Thieves and rebellions from all over the world have risen together, plundering states and counties, and emergency documents from all over the country are flying like snowflakes, and Your Majesty also said that the country is peaceful, all because of the ten permanent servants who deceived the monarch and betrayed the officials and harmed the people, and the upright and outspoken people in the court were dismissed, and the catastrophe is just around the corner!" ”
When the ten permanent servants heard this, they hurriedly took off their hats, knelt down in front of the emperor and said, "The ministers are incompatible, and the ministers can't live!" He only begged for his life to return to the fields and used all his family property to help the army. "Cry bitterly.
The emperor was furious and said to Liu Tao: "There are also close servants in your family, why can't you tolerate me alone?" "It was rumored that the samurai rolled out the decapitation.
Liu Tao shouted: "Don't hesitate to die!" Poor Han family, more than 400 years, once rested! ”
The samurai pushed out Liu Tao and was about to be executed, when a minister drank: "Don't do it, wait for me to admonish." ”
When everyone saw it, it was Situ Chen Tan.
Chen Tan rushed into the palace and admonished the emperor: "What is the crime of Liu Yan to be punished? ”
The emperor said: "Slandering the close ministers, blasphemy." ”
Chen Tan said: "The people of the world want to eat the meat of the ten permanent servants, but Your Majesty respects it like a parent. He has no merit, but he is all named a liege. What's more, Feng Zhen and other ditches knotted the Yellow Turban Army, as an internal response. Your Majesty is not introspecting now, and the society is about to collapse! ”
The emperor said: "The matter of the rebellion is unknown. Among the ten permanent servants, are there not one or two loyal ministers? ”
Chen Tan hit his head on the steps.
The emperor was furious and ordered him to be pushed out and imprisoned with Liu Tao.
At night, the Ten Standing Servants ordered the two to be killed in prison, and the emperor's edict was issued, and Sun Jian was appointed as the Taishou of Changsha to conquer the district star. Ren Liu Yu was the pastor of Youzhou, and Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju were recruited.
Huangfu Song's conquest of Bian Zhang was unfavorable, and Zhang Wen was replaced as a lieutenant, and he went to Chang'an to take command.
Liu Bei has been in Xiami for less than two years, and the yellow turbans around Xiami do not go down the mountain to loot at will, most of them cultivate and eat on the mountain, and a small number of raiders have long disappeared under the full blows of Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and others.
Liu Bei was loyal and benevolent, but he was not merciful in suppressing Haoqiang, who was a traitor, and in the first three months, he successively defeated several gentry and Haoqiang who had affairs with thieves and colluded with each other. He also personally went to the fields to persuade the peasants to cultivate, inspected the growth of the seedlings, and sold all the farmland that had been destroyed and returned to the public to those landless villagers for cultivation.
The villagers and ordinary wealthy households in Xiami County praised Liu Bei a lot.
It is believed that Liu Bei is pro-farmer, loves agriculture, and respects agriculture. Later, there was a rumor that Yuyang Haoqiang in Youzhou was too strong before Taishan Taishou Zhang Ju, and Zhang Chungou was the prime minister of Zhongshan to rebel and establish himself as the emperor. Now that they have invaded Youzhou, Jizhou, and Qingzhou, the momentum is very great, and some officials have taken the initiative to take refuge in the past.
The emperor has ordered Liu Yu, Gongsun Zan and others to make every effort to conquer and suppress.
Immediately discussed with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei that the secret should be prepared in advance, in case the traitors break into the secret.
At this time, he received a letter of recommendation from Liu Ping, the former Taishou of the Plains. 'It is said that there are Gaoyang Taishou Gong Jing and the former Shanggu Taishou Liu Hui recommended, knowing that you have courage and courage and talent in using soldiers, I recommend you to Youzhou Mu Liu Gong to go to assist in the recruitment of traitors. Liu Bei received the letter of recommendation, went through the formalities of handover, took the cronies of the original class and Zhang Yi, left Xiami, and returned to Youzhou.
This Zhang Yi, Liu Bei was not prepared to bring it, Zhang Yi was afraid that the later county Cheng would find trouble with him again, and decided to follow Liu Bei to Liu Yu together.
Liu Bei made great contributions to the suppression of the Yellow Turban, because the ten permanent servants were in power, and had no money to bribe the eunuchs, so that he could not get meritorious rewards and appointments.
Zhang Jun in Langzhong was dead, and the eunuch was worried that the matter would be big, so he arbitrarily sealed Liu Bei as a county lieutenant.
Later, the superintendent asked for bribes, beat the superintendent in anger, and made meritorious service under Pi, and then rewarded Mi Cheng again. Liu Yu had already heard of this, and Gongsun Zan also strongly recommended Liu Bei and praised Liu Bei's talent. Liu Yu took Liu Ping's letter of recommendation and assessed Liu Bei's talent and martial arts, so he appointed Liu Bei as an infantry lieutenant and led 1,000 troops to participate in the conquest of Zhang Ju.
Liu Yu, the word Bo'an, a native of Tan, the son of Emperor Guangwu, after Liu Qiang, the king of the East China Sea. Be just and forgiving. When he served as the assassin of Youzhou, he adopted a soft policy towards the Karasuma people, advocating the opening of border markets and fair trade, and was quite prestigious in the hearts of Karasuma people.
Xianbei, Fuyu, and Wuheng were influenced by Liu Yu, took the initiative to pay tribute, and never committed crimes.
Liangzhou Bianzhang and Baiyu of the White House launched a rebellion, Yuyang was strong, and the former Taishan Taishou Zhang Ju recommended himself to lead the Wuheng cavalry to help quell the rebellion, but the Taiwei Zhang Wen did not allow it, and instead let Gongsun Zan lead the troops to the battle.
Zhang Ju was furious, angry and united with the king of Wuhengqiao to raise troops to rebel, invaded the three states of Qingdao, Hebei and Youzhou, and the momentum was huge, breaking through a hundred cities in a row.
The court was furious, and the emperor appointed Liu Yu as the pastor of Youzhou.
After Liu Yu took over, while organizing the army to fight fiercely with Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, he persuaded the Wuheng people not to unite with Zhang Ju, and promised to give more preferential treatment to the Wuheng people.
Wuheng accepted Liu Yu's persuasion and left Zhang Ju.
In this way, Zhang Ju's power has shrunk dramatically.
Liu Yu and Gongsun Zanbing were divided into two routes, and Zhang Ju was forced to shrink in the Shanggu and Yuyang areas.
On this day, Liu Yu found Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan to discuss and launch the final battle against Zhang Ju.
It was decided that Gongsun Zhan would attack Daijun, and Liu Bei would attack Yuyang's fox slaves and assist Liu Yu in breaking Yuyang. Liu Bei came to Yuyang Fox Slave, after understanding, he sent about 2,000 defenders of Fox Slave City, Fox Slave City is small, there are many people and little grain, and it is now the season when wheat is ripe.
With a move in his heart, he found Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and explained to Guan and Zhang like this, and Guan and Zhang nodded and left.
The next day, Liu Bei ordered Liu Yong to lead 600 troops and drive a group of people to harvest wheat outside the city, and the rebels defending the city reported the news to the rebel leader.
The leader was in a hurry, there was little food in the city, and he was counting on the wheat outside the city to supplement the military food, which was good, and it was going to be robbed by Liu Bei.
Send troops out of the city to fight.
Liu Bei saw that the traitor was deceived, and immediately sent troops to attack.
When the rebels saw it, they knew that they had been fooled, and quickly retreated into the city, Liu Bei led the army to kill a lot, and rushed to the city gate, the guards were trying to close the city gate, but they didn't want to be at this time, the city gate was in turmoil, it turned out that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had taken the city gate.
Liu Bei took the opportunity to rush into the city.
Seeing that the tide was turning, the leader of the defenders turned around and led the remnants out of the city through another gate.
Liu Bei passed through the city, followed closely and killed, the defenders suffered heavy casualties, and captured countless heavy capital.
Liu Yu's main force also surrounded Zhang Ju.
At this time, Zhang Ju's army had no food and grass, no reinforcements outside, and people were panicked.
Soon, it was rumored that Zhang Chun's troops would kill Zhang Chun and surrender, Zhang Ju heard it, knew that the general trend had gone, and fought hard to break through the encirclement and flee to the Wuheng tribe.
Liu Yu immediately wanted Zhang Ju to the Wuheng tribe, and rewarded those who had made meritorious contributions to arresting and assassinating Zhang Ju.
Soon Zhang Ju was beheaded, and Liu Yu was sent to the first level.
Liu Yu verified that the report and the meritorious service seal were passed to Luoyang.
Liu Yuguan was named Taiwei, Rongqiu Hou, Gongsun Zanguan was named Zhonglang General, Duting Hou, and Liu Bei was awarded Gao Tang Wei.
Gongsun Zhan also played Liu Bei's merit of breaking the yellow scarf and moved Liu Bei to the Tang Dynasty.
After Liu Bei received the edict, he bid farewell to Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan, and took Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Jian Yong, Zhang Yi and his personal guards to serve in Gaotang.
