However, he said that Li Mu saw that it was almost May 184, and he didn't know if the Yellow Turban Rebellion had broken out.

The most important thing is that Xu Shu, Huang Zhong and others have been going to Luoyang for almost four months, why haven't they come back, although Xu Shu has heard news halfway through, saying that the Son of Heaven is very happy to see the spoils handed over by Jincheng County, and is ready to give Li Mu another official title. What surprised Li Mu even more was that more than fifty days had passed since the last time Xu Shu sent news.

Just when Li Mu was hesitating whether to send someone to Luoyang to inquire about the news, Fu Tong came to report, Xu Shu and others came, and the imperial envoy also came, and now it is ten miles away from Yunwu City. Li Muxin said: Presumably he really came to seal the official, maybe the imperial court will let him contribute.

Li Mu was not slacker, and brought Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Deng Zhi, Li Hui and other Jincheng County civil and military officials, and went out of Yunwu City to meet the imperial envoys. Li Mu and his entourage invited the imperial envoy into the Taishou Mansion, and the imperial envoy looked at the strange-shaped chair in front of him, and suddenly his face sank, and he didn't sit down, and said in a deep voice: "Captain Huqiang, Jincheng County Taishou Li Mu, take the order!" Li Mu and his entourage, with solemn expressions, bowed and stood.

The envoy of the imperial court unfolded the holy decree and read: On April 12 of the seventh year of Guanghe of the Great Han Dynasty (184 years), the edict of the Son of Heaven of the Great Han Dynasty said: Captain of the Qiang Guard, Jincheng County Taishou Li Muke is conscientious, diligent and loves the people, the East Qiang thief, Yang Han Tianwei, the widow Jiangshan Sheji, the widow is very happy, and Li Mu is the general of Pingxi Zhonglang and the Marquis of Hanxing Pavilion. Now the people of Kanto are rebellious, the widows are worried, and Pingxi Zhonglang will return to the imperial capital in the east of Keri and send troops to suppress the thieves! Chin this!

Li Mu and his entourage replied respectfully: "Minister, thank you Your Majesty Longen!" ”

The imperial envoy said: "Lord Li, go and prepare, we will leave for Luoyang today, and don't delay Your Majesty's will!" ”

Li Mu groaned: "The angel doesn't know, the Malay report a month ago, Xiqiang's actions are strange, there have been civil uprisings in Huangzhong, Caohan and other places, Jincheng County is also in danger, and the lower officials are responsible for guarding the land." Angels can stay in Jincheng County for a while, wait for the west of the official to break the enemy, and then return with the angels to suppress the thieves! ”

The envoy of the imperial court, his face sank, and said: "Then Lord Li is free, this official will return to Luoyang first, and he will definitely tell His Majesty Lord Li's words word for word!" ”

Li Mu's face was slightly gloomy, his murderous aura suddenly rose, and he said with a low smile: "Go slowly!" I don't send it! ”

Xu Shu hurriedly stepped forward and said: "The angel will return to Luoyang first, and when Pingxi Zhonglang will handle the affairs of Jincheng County, he will immediately return to the imperial capital and send troops to suppress the thieves!" ”

The envoy of the imperial court saw Li Mu pressing the hilt of the sword, murderous, his heart was shocked, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly said goodbye and left.

Li Mu said in a deep voice: "Ignorant puppet, dare to threaten me!" On his day, he will be asked to sacrifice my dragon sword! ”

Xu Shu comforted: "Lord, this is a villain, why bother!" ”

Li Mu nodded and said with a smile: "Yuan Zhi, Kanto Minanti, what do you mean?" ”

Xu Shu replied: "My lord, when my subordinates arrived in Luoyang, it was almost a year old, and no one in the court cared about us. It wasn't until after the Lantern Festival that people from the imperial court received me one after another. Originally, the general He Jin, as well as Yang Biao and Huang Wan, played His Majesty, and named the lord as the general of Pingxi and the assassin of Liangzhou. However, Zhang Rang saw that the lord did not come to flatter him twice, and made an obstacle from it, and this matter dragged on for a month. As a result, one night, the imperial court captured a man named Ma Yuanyi, who was said to be a subordinate of Zhang Jiao of Taiping Road in Jizhou. The imperial court closed Luoyang City, and the whole city searched for Ma Yuanyi's comrades, and as a result, the matter of the lord's official title was delayed again. Then the imperial court received the news of the rebellion of Zhang Jiao in Jizhou and other places, and the imperial court urgently recruited the general Huangfu Song of Pingbei to return to Beijing, and ordered Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun and others to send troops to suppress the thieves. It was not until April 12 that His Majesty issued an edict. I'm waiting for this departure! ”

Li Mu nodded and said, "The Yellow Turban Rebellion has really broken out, then I can't return to Luoyang." Liangzhou is also going to be chaotic, and we should stick to the foundation of Jincheng County. ”

Xu Shu muttered: "The lord's words are reasonable, when the time comes, we will defeat the traitors in Liangzhou, and the actual control of Liangzhou will also be in the hands of the lord." At that time, even if the imperial court was unwilling, it could only be crowned as the assassin of Liangzhou. ”

Li Mu nodded and said, "Now, there are 33,000 soldiers in Jincheng County, which is enough for the time being. Xu Huang, Dian Wei, and Chen Zhi were ordered to strictly train the sergeants and guard Jincheng County, Yuzhong County, and Lingzhi County. The sergeants of Yungo City rested for three hours every day, day and night, and practiced strictly. ”

Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong, Xu Shu and others went as promised.

However, he said that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty saw that Zhang Jiao's Taiping Road was so powerful, so he ordered the general He Jin to lead the soldiers of the five battalions of Yulin to camp in Duting and guard the Beijing Division; In addition, the commanders were stationed at the Kyoto Passes, such as Hanya Pass, Otani, Guangcheng, Yique, Xuanyuan, Revolving Gate, Mengjin, and Koheima. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty ordered all states to strictly defend themselves, and ordered all states and counties to prepare for battle, train soldiers, repair armaments, gather rebel armies, and exterminate the rebels.

The imperial court appointed Lu Zhi as the general of Beizhonglang, and Lu Zhi and the deputy general Zong, led the soldiers of the five schools of the Northern Army to be in charge of the northern front and confront Zhang Jiao's main force. The Pingbei general Huangfu Song and the right Zhonglang general Zhu Jun each led an army, controlling more than 40,000 people from the Five Schools, the Three Rivers Knights and the newly recruited elite warriors to defeat the Yellow Turban Army in the Yingchuan area.

Right Zhonglang recruited Zhu Jun to recruit Sun Jian of Xiapi as the Sima of the Zuo Army, and Sun Jian took his fellow villagers and brothers to recruit more than 1,000 elite soldiers in Huaishui and Surabaya, and then joined Zhu Jun. At the beginning of April 184, Zhang Mancheng, the commander of the Yellow Turban Canal, broke through Wancheng and killed Chu Gong, the Taishou of Nanyang. On the way to Wancheng, Zhu Jun was defeated by the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai Bocai. Zhu Jun had no choice but to retreat to Yingchuan County Changshe with the Pingbei general Huangfu Song to defend the Yellow Turban Army.

The Yellow Turban Qu Shuai Bocai, with the power of the new victory, led a large army to besiege Changshe City, the Han army was small and demoralized. Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun are worthy of being famous generals, defending the city properly, and Bocai cannot be broken for a long time. In May 184, the imperial court ordered Cao Cao, the commander of the cavalry, to gallop south to aid Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun. The Yellow Turban Army led by Bo Cai gradually lost morale, but he did not understand the art of war, and camped according to the grass. Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun attacked the camp at night and burned the camp of the Yellow Turban Army, and the Yellow Turban Army was defeated without a fight. Just when Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were chasing and killing the Yellow Turban Army, Cao Cao, the cavalry captain, led the army to arrive, and the three armies surrounded and killed the Yellow Turban Army. In this battle, the Han army beheaded tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops and won a complete victory. Cao Cao was appointed by the imperial court as the prime minister of Jinan, so Cao Cao went to Jinan to take office.

In June 184, Nanyang Taishou Qin Jie crusaded against Zhang Mancheng, the commander of the Yellow Turban Canal, and beheaded Zhang Mancheng. The Yellow Turban Army took Zhao Hong as the commander of the canal, and Zhao Hong led more than 100,000 people to occupy Wancheng. After the victory of Changshe, the Pingbei general Huangfu Song and the right Zhonglang general Zhu Jun marched into the Yellow Turban Army of Runan and Chen, and the two led the army to pursue Bocai all the way to Yangzhai, and finally defeated Peng Tuo in Xihua. The remaining Yellow Turban Army wanted to flee to Wancheng and join forces with Zhao Hong.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun pursued the Yellow Turban Army all the way to Wancheng, and the right Zhonglang general Zhu Jun's subordinates, Sima Sun Jian, were not afraid of life and death, and entered the city first, Sun Jian's subordinates were greatly encouraged and climbed the city wall one after another. In this battle, the Han army broke the Yellow Turban Army, and Huangfu Song and others successfully exterminated the Yellow Turban Army in the area of Yuzhou. Zhu Jun played Sun Jian's merits to the imperial court, and the imperial court divided Sun Jian as the Sima of other departments.

A total of 18,000 Han troops besieged Zhao Hong, the commander of the Yellow Turban Canal, and Han Zhong was promoted to the commander of the Yellow Turban Canal, and Han Zhong was forced to surrender by Zhu Jun. Qin Jie killed Han Zhong due to personal grudges, so the Yellow Turban Army surrendered and rebelled, and elected Sun Xia as the commander of the Qu. In November 184, Zhu Jun led his army to kill Sun Xia and more than 10,000 Yellow Turban troops in Jingshan Mountain in Western Hubei. At this point, the Yellow Turban Army in the Wancheng area was basically wiped out.

On the other hand, Lu Zhi and the sect members went north to Jizhou, Zhang Jiaoqin led a large army to block the Han army led by Lu Zhi, the two armies fought several times, Lu Zhi broke Zhang Jiao, and the Han army killed more than 10,000 Yellow Turban troops. Zhang Jiao had no choice but to retreat to Guangzong. Lu Zhi and the members of the sect led the Han army, all the way to chase Zhang Jiao to Guangzong, just when Lu Zhi was about to break through the city of Guangzong, Emperor Ling of Han sent Zuo Feng to inspect the military situation, Lu Zhi was upright, unwilling to flatter Zuo Feng, Zuo Feng played to Emperor Ling of Han, and framed Beizhong Lang for Lu Zhi's ineffective battle. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was furious, relieved Lu Zhi of his military power, and escorted Lu Zhi to Luoyang for questioning.

The imperial court adjusted its strategic deployment, replaced Lu Zhi with Dong Zhuo, and continued to attack the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou. Ordered the Pingbei general Huangfu Songkeri to go north and rush to the aid of Dong Zhuo's department. Huangfu Song went all the way north, and in August he captured the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai Bu Ji in Cangting, Dongjun, and killed more than 7,000 people. Dong Zhuojiu couldn't break through Guangzong City, and was defeated by Zhang Jiao again, and he was embarrassed. Zhang Jiao, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, fell ill and died in Guangzong City in September 184. In mid-September, the Pingbei general Huangfu Song led his army across the Yellow River and fought Lianke all the way.

At the beginning of October, Huangfu Song besieged Guangzong City, and Zhang Liangqin, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, led a large army to battle, but was defeated by Huangfu Song. The next day, Zhang Liang led his army to provoke the Han army, and Huangfu Song did not fight. Zhang Liang had no choice but to withdraw his troops and return to the camp, at which time the morale of the Yellow Turban Army was already very low. Huangfu Song took advantage of the night to lead his troops to raid the Yellow Turban Army at dawn, and the two armies fought until the afternoon, killing Zhang Liang and more than 30,000 people. More than 50,000 of the Yellow Turbans fell into the water and died when they fled to the river embankment, and many more were captured. Huangfu Song broke Zhang Jiao's coffin and killed the corpse, and passed the head of the Beijing division. In November, the Pingbei general Huangfu Song and the giant deer Taishou Guo Dian broke through Xiaquyang, beheaded Zhang Bao, and captured more than 100,000 people. The Yellow Turban Rebellion subsided.
