In the face of the sudden situation, Zhang Jiao made a decision immediately and played a great role.

If Ma Yuanyi, an important party, had not been betrayed by traitors, tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans had raided Luoyang from Yecheng to the south, both inside and outside, and there would have been no chance.

Because the rebel army was wrapped in a yellow turban on its head, it was called the Yellow Turban Army.

The rebel army was in great force, and the officers and soldiers in various parts of the country were defeated and retreated. Liu Hong panicked when he saw that the rebel army was so powerful.

He has long forgotten the concept of putting the people first, the community second, and the monarch light.

In March, Liu Hong worshipped He Jin as a general because of He Jin's meritorious service in capturing the Yellow Turbans, and was fully responsible for suppressing the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

He Jin led the Yulin Army and the five lieutenants to camp Tundu Pavilion to Zhenjing Division; Set up Hangu around Luoyang, Kyoto, Yique, Guangcheng, Otani, Yuyuan, Revolving Gate, Mengjin, Xiaopingjin Eight Passes, and set up Eight Pass Captains to oversee the military and political affairs of the Eight Gates and guard the safety of Kyoto.

Orders were issued to all localities to strictly defend themselves, and all states and counties were ordered to prepare for battle, train soldiers, and order weapons.

Liu Hong also worshiped Lu Zhi as the general of Beizhonglang, and ordered Wuheng Zhonglang to make the general of the sect as his deputy, and led the soldiers of the five battalions of Tuncai Captain, Yuecai Captain, Shooting Captain, Changshui Captain and Infantry Captain to Jizhou to attack Zhang Jiao's main force Yellow Turban.

He ordered the left Zhonglang general Huangfu Song and the right Zhonglang general Zhu Wei to lead the elite cavalry Sanhe Knight stationed in the three counties of Hedong, Hanoi and Henan to defend Luoyang, and control the five schools and 50,000 newly recruited elite warriors to defeat the Yingchuan generation of Yellow Turban Army.

The Yellow Turban Army was unstoppable, and countless corrupt officials and corrupt officials who usually only looted the people's fat and ointment fled in despair, and many county towns were self-defeating.

The first battle of the officers and soldiers was very unfavorable, Zhang Mancheng, known as the 'divine envoy', attacked and killed Nanyang Taishou Chu Gong, Guangyang Yellow Turban Army broke through Youzhou Jixian County, killed Youzhou Assassin Guo Xun, Hebei Yellow Turban Army captured the royal family Anping King Liu Xu, Ganling King Liu Zhong, and Runan Yellow Turban Army defeated Taishou Zhao Qian's army in Zhaoling.

Zhu Yun, the right Zhonglang sent by the imperial court, was defeated by Bo Cai, the leader of the Yingchuan Yellow Turban, in the first battle, and Huangfu Song had to be stationed in Changshe with him to defend. The 100,000-strong army of Bocai and Peng Tuo besieged Changshe, and the morale of the officers and soldiers was low.

In addition, the yellow scarves of Qingzhou came to Dongjun under the leadership of Bu Ji.

Jizhou Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang were stationed in Guangzong, and Zhang Bao was stationed in Xiaquyang, forming the central base of the Yellow Turban Army. While attacking the city in Jizhou, Zhang Jiao controlled the Yellow Turban Army and reformulated the strategy.

Zhang Mancheng led the Nanyang Yellow Turban Army to expand its power to the south; The Runan Yellow Turban Army was led by Bo Cai, with Yingchuan and Chen Guo on the front line. The two and Zhang Jiao of Jizhou formed the three main forces of the Yellow Turban Army. From the south, north, and east, the three directions formed an encirclement of Luoyang, the capital division.

Huangfu Song felt that the situation was very unfavorable to the Han Dynasty, so he hurriedly sent people to hurry up and rush to Luoyang in the starry night. Send a letter of advice to Emperor Ling.

The tactics of the Yellow Turban Army completely caused panic in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Liu Hong also woke up from his gentle township.

Liu Hong listened to Huangfu Song's direct advice and lifted the party ban. lest those scholars who have been imprisoned for a long time think that they are resentful and conspire with the yellow turbans.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion was all civilians, and once the scholars imprisoned by the scourge of the party defected to the Yellow Turbans, the Han Dynasty could really be overthrown.

After Liu Hong granted amnesty to the party, he followed the advice of Huangfu Song, stopped building gardens, took out the palace money, and gave good horses in the west garden to the soldiers to improve morale.

On this day, above the court, everyone was restless.

Liu Hong sat on the couch, and he didn't have the lazy atmosphere he used to have. The whole person was very anxious, he was afraid that the 400-year-old foundation of the Han Dynasty would regret his hands, and he would have no shame to see his ancestors and ancestors after his death.

"Your Majesty, if you had listened to the old minister's words, why would you be so troublesome. The only way to do this is to open the treasury and the granaries of various places, open warehouses to release grain, help the displaced people, and save the minds of those neutral displaced people. The last time I took out the property of the reward from the palace, it was just a drop in the bucket for Your Majesty, and the whole world is yours, so why cherish that share, I hope Your Majesty can take out more money this time to equip the soldiers and horses. Zhang asked Zhao Zhong and the others to be like a bone to the Han, and they didn't have to listen to their words anymore. I also hope that Your Majesty will put the country first and the society first. Yang Ci said with a righteous face.

These words are Yang Ci's heartfelt words, even if he is dismissed and demoted because of this sentence, he has to spit it out, because the Han Dynasty has reached the point where the mountains and rivers are declining.

Sure enough, Liu Hong's face changed. Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others next to him were even more full of murderous intent in their eyes.

Liu Hong loves money, but he is definitely not angry when his subordinates say this.

"Yang Ci is bold, you are bullying the king, do you want to learn from the Yellow Turban to rebel?" Zhang Rang pointed directly at Yang Ci above. and put him on a capital offense.

"Since my ancestor Yang Xi, my Yang family has eaten Hanlu for 400 years, my grandfather Yang Zhen, my father Yang Bing and I have all served as Tai Lieutenant, sharing worries for the country and doing their best. You eunuch, why slander me with words of rebellion? Yang Ci angrily reprimanded Zhang Rang.

Yang Xi was named Marquis by Liu Bang because of his meritorious pursuit of Xiang Yu. Fear the four knowledges, go to the three confusions, give it without denying, and be the pillar of the country for generations. Especially Yang Ci's grandfather Yang Zhen, who is also a famous existence in later generations.

Twilight is golden, who doesn't know?

"Yang Ci, you knew about today's disaster, but you didn't arrest Zhang Jiao earlier, as a captain, you don't want to serve the country. Today, I will remove you from the post of captain and return to my hometown to think about it. Liu Hong said sharply.

Liu Hong's move was pure nonsense, and he also knew that Yang Ci could not rebel, so Liu Hong dismissed Yang Ci on the grounds of uprising.

At this time, the general He Jin stepped forward, bowed to Liu Hong, and said: "Your Majesty should order the local heroes to recruit volunteers to resist the Yellow Turbans and reduce the burden on the officers and soldiers, so that the Yellow Turban thieves can be exterminated."

He Jin is a relative, and Queen He's elder brother is deeply trusted by Liu Hong.

"Quasi-playing, only Qing is the only one of the civil and military officials who is worried about me." Liu Hong's complexion softened a lot.

"Why is it high, do you want to mess with the world?" Yang Ci pointed at He Jin and asked. Then he bowed to Liu Hong: "The Yellow Turban has no scholars, as long as Your Majesty does what the old minister says, the Yellow Turban will be able to be peaceful, if it is according to what the general said, even if the Yellow Turban is flattened, it will bury a deeper curse for the Han."

The expansion of princes and powerful forces has indeed laid a deeper bane for the future, and Yang Ci is indeed far-sighted.

"Yang Ci is already a civilian, why are you still saying these alarmist words in the palace? Yu Linwei, send him home. Recently, Liu Hong's ears have been sensitive, and he is most annoyed to hear words like calamity.

Without waiting for Yu Linwei to come and bombard Yang Ci, Yang Ci bowed to Liu Hong and walked out of the hall by himself.

Advice against the ear, don't care about this!
