Time passed, quietly to July, and all the states and counties in the Han world were still in full swing in the war to exterminate the Yellow Turban Moth thieves in Taiping Road.

During this period, not only the Taiping Dao rebellion in the world, but also the rest of the country still had chaos due to various reasons.

First of all, the southern Xinjiang of the Han Dynasty was Jiaozhou, which was located in a remote area, and it was not a rich place, and several successive assassins came to pay money to buy officials. While enriching his own pockets, he also collected more money and prepared for the transfer to other rich places, which made the local people's resentment boiling.

Their behavior of "not having a clean line, accepting the power from above, accumulating private bribes from the bottom, giving money and surpluses, and asking for a change of generations" made the local garrison and officials and the people all dissatisfied, and finally rebelled. However, the Jiaozhou rebels were different from the Yellow Turban Moth thieves, they assassinated Shi Zhouqiao and Hepu Taishou Laida, called themselves "General Zhutian", and later killed and assassinated Shi Zhouqiao, sent people to ask Que, counted the crimes, explained the reason for the rebellion, and asked the court to give an explanation.

The news of the rebellion in Jiaozhou reached Luoyang, and when Emperor Liu Hong heard about it, he selected capable officials and went to Jiaozhou to investigate and settle the place. The three governments elected Jia Cong, a native of Liaocheng, Dongjun County, as the history of Jiaozhi Thorn, Jia Cong went to the ground, found out the history of several assassins in Jiaozhou, and in office, he constantly collected local pearls, green feathers, rhinoceros, tortoiseshell and other strange and beautiful materials, which made the people's grievances boiling, and the officials and the people stationed in the army were all opposed.

Later, Jia Cong interrogated his counter-complaint, saying that the local "endowment is too heavy, and the people are empty." The capital is far away, there is nothing to complain about, and the people are not happy, so they gather as thieves. "And move the book and proclamation, each to make sure that his assets are safe, to appease the deserted, to reinstate the conscription, to behead the commander of the canal as a great harm, to select good officials to try to guard the counties, the year is stable, and the people are safe. The alley sang for it: "Father Jia came late, so I rebelled first; Seeing Qingping today, I don't dare to rebel! ”

There was chaos in the southeast, and so was it in the southwest, and the Bajun demon led his loyal believers to gather a rebellion. Zhang Xuan used witchcraft to heal people's diseases, and his method was the same as Zhang Jiao's, so that the sick family produced five buckets of rice, called "five buckets of rice master", and rebelled together, so the people called him "rice thief".

However, Zhang Xuan's rebellion is destined to be different from history, the Ba County Government Office only took a few days, the rice thieves tens of thousands of rebels were pacified, killed thousands, and the rest of the rebels were captured.

The reason why Ba County quelled the rebellion so quickly, on the one hand, was naturally well prepared, and the two generals Xu Huang and Gan Ning left by Fuquan recruited troops day and night after Fuquan led the elite of the county out of the Central Plains to quell the rebellion, and at the same time suppressed the county to prevent changes.

On the other hand, it was because of the five buckets of rice pepper Lu Daogu as the internal response, before Zhang Xuan was ready to secretly start an incident, he found out the news, and ordered his son Zhang Lu to send a letter to the county office in the starry night, so that the Ba County County Office was properly prepared, and sent people to arrest Zhang Xuan quickly, and sent a letter to the nearby states and counties, informing Zhang Xuan of his desire to rebel, and making preparations in various places.

Zhang Xuan saw that the matter was exposed, so he could only act quickly, and in a hurry, it was difficult for the five rice thieves in various places to cooperate, so that the Han army easily took most of the thieves who were successfully assembled. Then, the Han army of all parts of Ba County, combined with the nearly 10,000 rebellious people gathered by Zhang Xuan, Gan Ning was mighty, and beheaded Zhang Xuan between the rebellious army, and since then it only took a few days to determine the rebellion in the county, as for the nearby states and counties of Ba County, they got the news that they also put down the rebellion of the few Zhang Xuan troops in the county, and the prisoners were handed over to Ba County according to the prior agreement, and they were organized by the Ba County Government Office and sent to Saiwai Tuntian.

This time, the news of the rebellion in Ba County reached Luoyang, and the emperor Liu Hong was overjoyed, and each gave Xu Huang and Gan Ning, the first contributors to the rebellion, as the waiters, and hundreds of households in the food and eup, all moved to the miscellaneous school captains. At the same time, the rest of the civil and military forces of the Ba County Office also had big awards, and several people were closed to the Hou.

As for Lu Daogu and others who denounced Zhang Xu's rebellion this time, the Ba County official signed the name of Baozuo Wudou Mijiao, only Zhang Xu's department had opposing intentions, and the rest were all believers, and they had no intention of rebellion, and Liu Hong was not implicated.

Moreover, there are many trustworthy people in the Han Dynasty, otherwise they would not have been deceived by Zhang Jiao and others, and sat back and watched this person who had already committed the crime of rebellion gather the crowd to rebel again. In addition, the Wudoumi Sect is Zhang Daoling's Taoism, and Zhang Daoling is one of the few people in the Han Dynasty who "has attained the Tao with integrity", naturally, for various reasons, even if there was collusion between Lu Daogu and others and Zhang Xuan, after all, because he did not finally participate in the rebellion, he was not investigated.

Later, because of this, the imperial court did not target Lu Daogu and others, who were still suspicious. On the contrary, because of the meritorious work of Lu Daogu and others, there are rewards for those who have merit, among them, Zhang Lu, a young man, was given by Liu Hong as Yulin Lang to enter the court because of his ability to pass the message in the starry night to quell the chaos.

These two rebellions that took advantage of the Han Dynasty to integrate the strength of the world and deal with the Taiping Dao did not attract much attention because of the weak strength of the rebels, and what really caused the Han Kingdom was the rebels who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity in Liangzhou in the northwest later.

Of course, this rebel army is still dormant in the Northland and the Caohan River Pass, and they are waiting for an opportunity, a chance to succeed in the rebellion to the greatest extent.

In the land of Liangzhou, they who have experienced the century-old Pingqiang War of the Great Han Kingdom know how difficult it is to start an incident in Liangzhou. The Liangzhou soldiers are the elite of the three sides of the Han Dynasty, and because of the special location in the state, since the former Han Dynasty, it is a heavy place for troops, such a military stronghold, the strength of the Han army is especially the Qin and Han dynasties, and if you want to succeed, then you must undoubtedly wait until the strength of the Han army in Liangzhou is weakened to a certain extent, which is the key time for the rebels to succeed.

Undoubtedly, this opportunity was not too far away from them, and as the Han army in Jizhou proceeded in the peaceful war, their opportunity suddenly appeared because of the change of events.

Jizhou is the base camp of Taiping Road, and the leader of the demon thieves, Zhang Jiao, is a person from Julu in Jizhou, who has been operating here for many years and has many believers. Therefore, with Zhang Jiao raising his arms, the Taiping Dao of the world responded to the rebellion, and Jizhou was rooted in the Taiping Dao and created the advantage of the longest history, whether it was the strength of the army or the elite of the rebels, it was not comparable to the rest of the places, and even once made the Zhongxing Dragon Rising Land of the Emperor Guangwu, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, become the central base of the Taiping Dao to dominate the world.

The Han court naturally did not dare to be careless about Jizhou, not to mention the relationship between it and Emperor Shizu Guangwu, just the special geographical location of Jizhou was not something that the Han court could easily handle.

In the Spring and Autumn Period of the pre-Qin Dynasty, there was an astrological book "Yuan Ming Bao" that said, "There are dangers and dangers in Ji, and the emperor is the capital, and chaos is Ji Ji, and if it is weak, it is strong, and if it is famine, it is abundant, so it is called Jizhou." Among them, we can see the importance of Jizhou in the world, and there was even a time that "the gains and losses of Jizhou are related to the rise and fall of the country".

After all, since the Guangwu Zhongxing Han Dynasty, the population of Jizhou is often listed in the forefront of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, and its land since the Yu Dynasty ruled the water, the rivers in the territory make its fertile soil innumerable, this kind of foundation, itself is the cornerstone of the world for anyone.

Since ancient times, Jizhou is the place where "Tuping soldiers are strong, and Yingjie is profitable", it is "the rush of the north and south, the field of horses, and the important place of vital points", and its "east near Yinghai is the capital reserves can be filled, and the south of the river is easy to reach, the Sichuan Yuan is winding, and the control belt is Yanqi", so that countless heroes can get this and win the world.

Guangwu got this, Zhongxing Han Dynasty, and later in the late Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao fought in the north, if it were not an accident, Yuan Shao could also set Cao Cao, and since then the tiger has swallowed the world. And Wei Wu got the north, and it was the first time to move his governance to Yecheng, and to control the world with Jizhou, which shows the importance of its place, in the final analysis, it is not because in this era when the productive forces have not exploded, the location of Jizhou naturally determines the basis for him to become a hegemon, which is difficult for other places to catch up.

Therefore, the Han court naturally did not allow Jizhou to lose, from the very beginning, Liu Hong issued an edict, sending the northern Zhonglang general Lu Zhi to lead the five soldiers of the Northern Army and the soldiers of all counties in the world to drive Jizhou directly through Hanoi. At the same time, he also ordered the Hu Wuhuan Zhonglang to take the sect member as the deputy, led a Bingzhou cavalry and Youzhou assault cavalry, and the Hu soldiers recruited by the merge and Youzhou Erzhou went south, and Lu Zhi's department formed a north-south attack on the Yellow Turban Moth Thieves in Jizhou Taiping Road, and strictly ordered Lu Zhi to quickly pacify the Jizhou Yellow Turban, so as not to make Jizhou erosive and the Han River and mountains lost.

Lu Zhi is not a person who knows the soldiers, after several battles, after he led the troops, he succeeded in making Jizhou, which is the birthplace of Taiping Dao, has the most believers, and is also the most troubled by the Yellow Turban Moth thieves. He even broke the thief Zhang Jiao, captured more than 10,000 people, made Zhang Jiao and other Yellow Turban Moth thieves retreat, gathered in Guangzong to defend strictly, Lu Zhi saw this, then built a siege and chiseled trenches, made a cloud ladder, and wanted to besiege the main force of Taiping Dao in Guangzong, and wait for its food to run out.

It is hard to imagine that those fanatical Taiping Dao believers, under the leadership of the three Zhang Jiao brothers, should have burst out with great combat power, and even Jizhou, which should be the main force of Taiping Dao in the world, is now compressed by the Han army in Guangzong County, Julu County, unable to move, just waiting for its food to run out, whether the Han army is besieged to death or fought a decisive battle with the Yellow Turban Moth thieves who went out of the city to live, they will win.

However, as Emperor Liu Hong sent Xiaohuangmen Zuo Feng to the army to observe the situation of the Yellow Turban Moth and thieves, the situation in Jizhou to counter-insurgency changed. And this change not only made the Han army change generals on the spot, but also made the Yellow Turban Moth thief, who was already desperate, see a glimmer of hope for a turnaround; At the same time, it also gave the rebels who had been dormant in Liangzhou for a long time a sense of hope for the success of the uprising in Liangzhou.

However, it was said that when Xiaohuangmen Zuofeng arrived in Lu Zhijun, the first thing he did was to take bribes and be greedy for money. This is the norm and unspoken rule of the Han officialdom now, even if it is a critical period to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion, after all, as far as Zuo Feng is concerned, knowing that Lu Zhi is going to make great contributions this time, so as to get a big reward from the emperor and the court, it is undoubtedly impossible for him not to follow the soup.

And Zuo Feng knew that Lu Zhi had studied under the great Confucian Ma Rong, when Ma Rong was in power, the biggest notorious thing was that he lived a luxurious life for himself, completely disregarding his Confucian reputation, and the identity of the family's royal relatives, and constantly took bribes, which made Zuo Feng plan to collect a fortune from Lu Zhi from the beginning.

However, I never thought that Lu Zhi was a hard bone, and he frankly admitted that he had no money and refused to bribe. Regardless of whether Lu Zhi really has no money, or has a resolute personality, seeing that Zuo Feng is a eunuch, he hates his people, and he does not bribe for the sake of fame, anyway, in Zuo Feng's eyes, Lu Zhi, as a disciple of Ma Rong, cannot not bribe, and now Lu Zhi does not give Zuo Feng money, making it clear that he doesn't know what to do, so Zuo Feng naturally holds a grudge.

After returning to the capital of Luoyang, Zuo Feng said to Emperor Liu Hong: "Guangzong thieves are easy to break their ears. Lu Zhonglang fortified the army and waited for the heavens to punish him. The implication is that the main force of Taiping Dao in the Han army of Jizhou to pacify Zhang Jiao is very easy, and Lu Zhi is now only building a fortress and besieging Zhang Jiao and others, but he does not march, he must have two hearts, and he can seek personal gain when the situation in the world changes.

This statement can be described as extremely heart-wrenching, and now it is a critical period for the Taiping Dao to be in turmoil, Liu Hong has seen with his own eyes the crisis of the Han Dynasty that was almost subverted, so he is naturally very sensitive. And Lu Zhi now holds a place in Jizhou, and the elite soldiers in the world gathered by the Han Dynasty, all the military power is gathered in one of them, once there is a change, things will be in danger.

Liu Hong didn't dare to be careless, and Lu Zhitun's troops did not send out, which had the great intention of Zuo Feng's words, so Liu Hong was furious and used a car to recruit Lu Zhijing and take him into custody for interrogation. Of course, in order to avoid Lu Zhi's injustice, Liu Hong did not kill him, but ordered him to be commuted to death, just like life imprisonment in later generations, first detained, only to wait for the cause of the matter to be clarified, and then he was tried.

Of course, Lu Zhi, as the commander of the Han army in Jizhou, was dismissed from office, and the imperial court naturally could not let the commander of the army hang for a long time, otherwise the army would definitely be unstable. Later, after discussions between the DPRK and China, the general He Jin and his subordinate Yuan Shao proposed to change the worship of Dong Zhuo, who was the Taishou of Hedong at the time, to Dongzhong Lang General, and let him replace Lu Zhi as the main general, and quickly pacify the Taiping Road in Jizhou.

It's just that although the Han army has changed its commander, the Yellow Turban Moth thieves in Jizhou still have no hope of turning the tables. Because Dong Zhuo came out of the army around him and was also a person who knew the soldiers, but there was still a gap between him and Lu Zhi in terms of ability, he changed Lu Zhi's tactics, gave up besieging Guangzong County, which was guarded by Zhang Jiao, and led the main force to attack Xiaquyang County, which was guarded by Zhang Bao, and besieged it for more than two months.

Despite this, Dong Zhuo did not give the Yellow Turban Moth Thief in Jizhou Taiping Road a chance, and everyone with a clear eye knows that as long as the Han Dynasty does not cause chaos, Taiping Road is destined to be difficult to save the overall situation.

However, the situation in Jizhou has not changed much, but the situation in Liangzhou has changed because Dong Zhuo has become the chief general of the Han army in Jizhou. The reason is that before Dong Zhuo entered Jizhou, he not only took away the old department of Liangzhou in Hedong, but even the imperial court listened to Dong Zhuo's advice and transferred troops from Liangzhou to Dong Zhuo to help him pacify the thieves.

The reason for this is that both the imperial court and Dong Zhuo have some distrust of the current Han army in Jizhou.

After all, Lu Zhi, the chief general of the Jizhou Han Army, was originally a native of Zhuo County, Zhuo County, Youzhou, a standard northerner, and the soldiers and horses of Jizhou were mostly recruited by the Han Dynasty, and most of them were from the north, and the rest of the places were all local thieves, which was not easy to transfer.

Since ancient times, the love of the township party is the heaviest, Lu Zhi is a northerner, and a well-known Confucian, his personality is resolute, has noble character, and has a unique charm that makes most of the soldiers fall in love and are willing to die for it.

This time, Lu Zhi was imprisoned for questioning because of the eunuchs' slander, which directly caused these Jizhou Han soldiers to be dissatisfied and unstable. And Dong Zhuo, the former official of the Yuan family selected by the imperial court, was not from the north, but from Liangzhou, this choice made most of the Han troops in Jizhou dissatisfied from the beginning, and the first to bear the brunt was the Youzhou soldiers who died the most for Lu Zhi.

No matter when and where, the local army has its own faction, and now the Jizhou Yellow Turban Moth thieves are about to be pacified, they are northerners, Youzhou people contribute the most, and now they suddenly change to Liangzhou people, how can this make the Jizhou Han army satisfied?

In the end, Taiping Dao was exterminated, how to distribute the credit? Who should take the first credit? Is it Dong Zhuo, a native of Liangzhou, who is the main general? Or are they northerners who have made a lot of efforts? All this prompted the imperial court to draw troops to Dong Zhuo.
