After the Yellow Turban Rebellion of the Taiping Road Incident in the first year of Zhongping, the Great Han Kingdom also began to look forward to the new year of the empire.

Whether it is the emperor Liu Hong, or the ministers and officials, they all urgently hope that in the new year, the strength of the Han can be restored to the beginning of the Taiping Dao Incident, so that no matter who takes power in the end, they will enjoy the fruits of victory. However, all this is not destined to be so perfect, and in contrast, the situation in the Great Han Kingdom has been deteriorating day by day.

After the heavy snowfall, spring returns to the earth, the scenery is full of vitality, and the whole city of Luoyang is also a harmonious and happy atmosphere.

After the New Year, Fuquan obviously felt that this atmosphere was less, of course, this was not folk, but the court and the general trend of the world, because there were too many things.

First, the rebels in Liangzhou in the northwest have also moved with the warmer weather, but the specific situation is still unknown.

Second, there is a change in the north, although the main force of the Yellow Turban Moth thieves in Jizhou Taiping Road has been wiped out, but the rest of the sins have not been swept away, plus the thieves from all over the country have risen together, there are Black Mountain, Huanglong, Bai Bo, Zuo Xiao, Guo Daxian, Yu Yigen, Qingniujiao, Zhang Baiqi, Liu Shi, Zuo Zhangba, Pinghan, Daji, Si Li, Pengzai, Lei Gong, Fuyun, Feiyan, Baique, Yang Feng, Yu Poison, Wulu, Li Damu, Bai Huan, Qi Gu, Ku Xu, Luo Shi disciples, and the valley, innumerable.

Its loud person is called Lei Gong, the person who rides a white horse is Zhang Baiqi, the light person is Yan Feiyan, the person with many mustaches is called Yu Gengen, and the person with big eyes is a big eye, so the title has its own reasons.

And its army is numerous, the big one is twenty or thirty thousand, and the small one is six or seven thousand, all of which should not be underestimated. Its activities in Zhongshan, Changshan, Zhao County, Shangdang, Hanoi valleys, its number of soldiers and horses can be more than a million, relying on the steep mountain of Taihang Mountain, back and forth its own, Hebei counties and counties and by its victims, the court can not beg. Fu Quan knew that they would form a force called "Black Mountain Thieves" in the future, and knew that after being recruited by the Han court, they would be called the "Black Mountain Army".

Third, in addition to the above two big thieves, there are also small groups of moth thieves and thieves in the world, such as He, You, Qing, Xu, Jing, and Yang, which can be said to be all over the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, except for Si Li, there are traitors in the haunting.

Just like the Taiping Road Yellow Turban Moth Thieves uprising, however, the slight difference is that these moth thieves are not particularly powerful except for the Black Mountain Thieves, and the Han Dynasty does not need to worry about the Taiping Road Yellow Turban Moth Thieves.

In this regard, the imperial court also has various countermeasures, that is, to select good officials and good generals, and to eliminate thieves everywhere. Among them, Liangzhou does not say, it is naturally Fuquan, and the black mountain thief is handed over to Jizhou Muhuang Fu Song, after all, it is from its jurisdiction, he should send troops, as for other places, there are also people who choose to exterminate the thieves, and many people in the late Han Dynasty are in this entrusted with the important task of quelling the chaos, get the opportunity.

Fu Quan thought that if it weren't for Han Sui and Bian Zhang's great power in history, and later invaded Sanfu, which made Jingshi Luoyang face the threat of rebels, this made the imperial court urgently recall Huangfu Song, and transferred a lot of soldiers and horses from Jizhou, so that the remaining Jizhou soldiers and horses were more than enough to defend the city, but if they wanted to send troops to destroy the Black Mountain Army, it would be difficult.

In this life, I don't care if I can pacify the Liangzhou rebels, as long as I don't let the Liangzhou rebels invade Sanfu, and the imperial court doesn't transfer Huangfu Song, I'm afraid whether the Montenegrin thieves can continue to resist the official army like history, it is unknown.

After all, for Huangfu Song, in terms of military affairs, Fuquan is still very convinced, and the current strength of the Han army in Jizhou is not weak, coupled with Huangfu Song, he doesn't believe that the Black Mountain thieves can be Huang Fu Song's opponents, if Huang Fu Song can pull all these Black Mountain thieves to Saiwai Tuntian, it can make the Han suddenly have one less confidant.

At the end of January, as Zhu led the Han army in Jingzhou to pacify Taiping Road back to Luoyang, Fu Quan finally understood where Liu Hong and the imperial court had prepared for him, that is, the Han army brought by Zhu to pacify the Yellow Turban Moth thieves in Jingzhou Taiping Road.

Knowing that it was the Han army of Zhu Suo's department, Fuquan was relieved, after all, these soldiers and horses had gone through the Taiping Road Yellow Turban Rebellion, and they were all elite soldiers, and among them, there were Fuquan's old acquaintance Sun Jian and thousands of elite soldiers under his command.

Perhaps it is the reincarnation of history, destined that Sun Jian and the benefactor Zhu who once recommended him, when Huangfu Song, Zhu, and Fuquan were still in Changshe and Bocai, he led his troops to fight with the Yanzhou Yellow Turban Moth thieves on the flank of Yanzhou, so as to relieve the pressure on the battlefield in Yuzhou.

When the Yellow Turban Moth Thief of Taiping Road in Yuzhou was pacified, Huangfu Song and Fuquan led their troops north from Yanzhou all the way to Jizhou, but Sun Jian was arranged by the imperial court to go to Jingzhou with Zhu Hebing, and pacified Zhang Mancheng, the Yellow Turban Moth Thief who had captured Wancheng Jingzhou Taiping Road at that time.

At that time, Zhang Mancheng, the leader of the Yellow Turban Moth Thieves in Nanyang, Taiping Road, Jingzhou, raised troops, called himself a "divine envoy", supported tens of thousands, killed Chu Gong, the Taishou of Nanyang County, and stationed in Wancheng for more than 100 days.

After that, the later Taishou Qin Jie, appointed by the imperial court, led the soldiers and horses to kill Zhang Mancheng on the battlefield. However, the remnants of the Yellow Turban Moth Thief raised Zhao Hong as the commander of the Qu, and because they still occupied many places in Wancheng and Nanyang County, more and more soldiers and horses were coerced and coerced, reaching more than 100,000 people, resulting in Qin Jie's weak army and unable to fight.

However, it is said that after Zhu and Sun Jian led their troops to Jingzhou, they joined forces with Jingzhou Assassin Shi Xu and Qin Jie, with a total of about 18,000 people, attacking Zhao Hong.

These were all brought from his hometown when he was under the command of Song Yu, as well as the soldiers recruited in Jingshi and Youzhou before, and they were all elite soldiers who had gone through the great battles of pacifying Xu Zhao and conquering Xianbei, but they were very elite in terms of combat power.

From June to August, the Han army, led by Zhu, Sun Jian, Xu and Qin Jie, besieged Wancheng, but was never able to break through Wancheng and exterminate the moth thieves and win. During this period, because it took a long time and spent countless money and food, Zhu Ye, like Lu Zhi and Dong Zhuo, was played to recruit Zhu Jun to return to Beijing and select another good general to conquer Jingzhou Taiping Road.

If it weren't for Sikong Zhang Wen's efforts to dissuade him, he argued in the court: "Xi Qin used Bai Qi, Yan Ren Leyi, all of them have been long years, and they can defeat the enemy. Jun Yingchuan, in order to have an offensive effect, lead the division to the south, the strategy has been set, the army is easy to general, the soldiers are taboo, it is advisable to holiday month, and it is responsible for its success. ”

This remark can be said to be a good word for the use of troops at that time, which means that Qin Yongbai and Yan Ren Leyi were both protracted and spent countless hours of money and food to defeat the enemy. Now Zhu Yingchuan has already had an effect, leading his troops to the south, the plan has been decided, and the generals are changed in battle, which is taboo for soldiers, and he should be given time to succeed.

In the end, Emperor Liu Hong also considered the consequences of changing generals in battle, after all, Jizhou changed generals three times, and everyone could see that the good situation was erosive, so it was agreed. This matter later spread to Nanyang, which also angered Zhu, so he waved his troops to attack Wancheng and kill Zhao Hong, but still did not break through Wancheng.

Subsequently, the Yellow Turban Moth Thieves took Han Zhong as their commander and still defended Wancheng, trying in vain to wait for winter to come, and the Han army withdrew on its own due to the huge cost of money and food. At that time, the situation was still unfavorable to the Han army, although the Han army killed Zhao Hong, but the Yellow Turban Moth Thief did not eliminate much, the gap between the strength of the Han Army and the Moth Thief was still huge, and the Yellow Turban Moth Thief was still the defender of the city.

Zhu was finally defeated by a small number of soldiers, so he planned and ordered the dissolution of the siege, set up a camp, and build an earthen mountain. This move actually had another purpose, and then every day, Zhu ordered the Han army, facing the city of Wancheng, beating drums and shouting, and posing to attack the southwest of the city.

The Yellow Turban Moth Thief did not have any generals with today's art of war at this time, so he naturally didn't know Zhu Jice, so he could only rush to meet the enemy. Zhu Ke took a back shot, and together with Sun Jian, led 5,000 elite soldiers to attack the northeast, and the soldiers drummed up bravely and entered the city.

During this period, Sun Jian led the troops to attack, and he took the lead in climbing the city wall. Encouraged by this, the subordinates followed closely behind, and Zhu Jian, who attacked with him, had to sigh that Sun Jian was a Jiangdong Tiger, and under this drum, he really captured the outer city of Wancheng.

Seeing this, Han Zhong, the leader of the thieves, decisively commanded his soldiers and horses, retreated to the small city, was very frightened, and finally asked to surrender in order to survive and avoid death.

At that time, Zhu's Sima Zhang Chao, Xu and Qin Jie, because they wanted to quickly resolve the battle and could not waste any more time, were willing to agree to Han Zhong's request. However, Zhu disagreed, and he said sharply: "There are soldiers who are the same as others. On the occasion of the Qin Dynasty and the Xiang Dynasty, the people had no fixed master, so the reward was attached to the persuasion. Now the sea is unified, only the yellow turban makes a coward, and there is no way to persuade the good, and the demand is enough to punish the evil. If you accept it now, you will be even more rebellious, and if you are a thief, you will enter the war, and if you are blunt, you will beg to surrender, and it is not a good plan to indulge in the enemy. ”

This means that there are similarities but differences in the appearance of sending troops, and at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the people did not have a stable monarch, so they persuaded them to surrender with rewards. Now that the sea is unified, only the Yellow Turban Moth thieves rebelled, and subduing them could not turn people to good, and crusading against them was enough to punish evil. Now, if we accept their surrender, then we will nurture their rebellion, and give them the idea of going into battle if they are advantageous, and begging for surrender if they are unfavorable.

This sentence can be said to directly make the three of them unable to refute, and they can't, they can only obey Zhu's dispatch. After Zhu finished speaking, he ordered the Han army to attack quickly, but it failed to overcome it for several days.

Later, Zhu climbed Tushan to look at the situation of the rest of the Yellow Turban, and then said to Zhang Chao: "I know everything. The thief is now solid on the periphery, the inner camp is urgent, the beggar is not accepted, and he can't get out, so he fights to the death. Ten thousand people are one heart, it is still impossible to be, and it is a hundred thousand! The harm is great. It is better to besiege it and enter the city with troops. If you are loyal to the siege, you will inevitably come out, and if you go out, you will be scattered, and the way to break is easy. ”

This means that Zhu knows why he can't pacify the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, who should have no ability to resist, because they besieged the Yellow Turban Moth Thieves everywhere, making the Moth Thieves anxious inside, unable to see a way out, and begging to surrender, and unable to come out if they want to, so they can only fight to the death. And a military regulation, under the single-mindedness of 10,000 people, there is no one to do, let alone in a small city, nearly 100,000 yellow turban remnants!

At this time, Zhu realized that the harm of the strong attack was too great, so it was better to remove the encirclement and gather troops to attack the city, so the thieves would definitely flee when they saw that the siege had been lifted.

When escaping, the thief wants to run in his heart, and there will be no more war letters, and the soldiers' hearts will naturally disperse, which is an easy way to break through the remnants of the Yellow Turban in the small city, and it is also the best opportunity to annihilate them.

So Zhu ordered the Han army to break the siege, Han Zhong saw that the siege was lifted, and really led the army to battle, Zhu took advantage of the situation to attack, broke his army, pursued for more than ten miles, and killed more than 10,000 people. Han Zhong and the others had no choice but to surrender, but Qin Jie ignored them and ordered Han Zhong to be killed.

However, the Yellow Turban Moth Thieves are cunning, and since Han Zhong led his troops to escape, there are still many Moth Thieves who dare not act, so there are still a large number of Yellow Turban Moth Thieves guarding the city in the small city. When they saw that the leader surrendered and was killed, Ou could not be at ease, and took Sun Xia as the commander and returned to Wancheng. Zhu then attacked, Sun Xia was defeated, Zhu led his troops to the West Ejing Mountain, the two armies fought, the Han army killed tens of thousands, and the Yellow Turban Moth thieves finally collapsed, except for a few who fled, the rest either died or surrendered.

Since then, there has been a great victory in the pacification of Yuzhou and Jingzhou Taiping Road, and the brigade has returned to Beijing to Luoyang. After the delivery of military power, he was worshiped by the imperial court as the doctor of Guanglu, and increased the number of 5,000 households, and the soldiers and horses under his command were all transferred to Fuquan after accepting their respective rewards.

At the beginning of February, Huangfu Jianshou, Zhang Meng, and Jia Xu entered Beijing one after another, and at the same time, there were two places in Bajun and Jizhou arranged by Fuquan in advance, and his old troops and horses also came one after another.

In addition, there was also a Han army that surprised Fuquan and followed, they were the Liangzhou armies in Jizhou, especially the cavalry dominated by Dong Zhuo's old troops.

In fact, these people were not in the sequence assigned by the Han army to Fuquan, but Huangfu Song himself took the initiative to write a book, on the grounds that Jizhou was close to Jizhou and Youerzhou, and there were many cavalry, and there was no need for so many Liangzhou cavalry, all of them were led by his son Huangfu Jianshou and sent to Fuquan.

Although Emperor Liu Hong and the ministers of the court knew that this was the emperor's naked way to protect his son and wanted his son to make meritorious contributions, they still agreed after all. After all, when it comes to fighting in Liangzhou, who else is more suitable than these border athletes who were born in Liangzhou?

Of course, when ordering these Liangzhou soldiers to be assigned to the Fuquan sequence, the imperial court itself also strictly examined the origins of some generals, after all, in the Liangzhou army, such as Lu Yi, who was also abandoned by the family, or there were still many people whose families were not clear with the Liangzhou rebels.

It's just that these are destined to be in vain, since Huangfu Song dared to send these Liangzhou soldiers to his son to Fuquan, he naturally considered it, and he had already drawn out those unsuitable people in advance, and they either continued to follow Huangfu Song in Jizhou to exterminate the Black Mountain thieves, or they were transferred to Liyi, ready to pacify the Qingzhou Taishan group of thieves.

Everything has been prepared, and it will be in mid-February, at the court meeting, Emperor Liu Hongzhao will enter the court to obey orders, and the Han family is about to send troops to Pingliangzhou Rebellion.
