Chapter 14 The Yellow Turban Rebellion, Liu Zhang's Victory
According to historical records, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Hong, the son of heaven, was corrupt and incompetent, his relatives and eunuchs were dictatorial one after another, and the government was corrupt. The www.biquge.info of the Xiqiang War lasted for decades, and the cost was huge, and the military service was heavy. In addition, the phenomenon of land annexation is serious, and the people are not able to make a living. Under these circumstances, Zhang Jiao founded the Taiping Dao, which won the hearts of the people in a religious way, and established prestige among the poor peasants, with hundreds of thousands of believers. Zhang Jiao used his right to speak in the hearts of the people to divide the believers in the eight prefectures of Qing, Xu, You, Hebei, Jing, Yang, Yan, and Henan into 36 parties, with more than 10,000 people in Dafang and 6,000 or 7,000 people in Xiaofang.
In 184 A.D., Zhang Jiao met with the believers on March 5 to raise an army against the Han Dynasty with the slogan "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious"; "Cangtian" refers to the Eastern Han Dynasty, and "Huangtian" refers to the Taiping Road, and according to the speculation that the Five Virtues have always said, the Han Dynasty is the fire virtue, the fire gives birth to the earth, and the soil is yellow, so all believers are tied with a yellow scarf as a mark, symbolizing to replace the corrupt Eastern Han Dynasty. On the one hand, Zhang Jiao sent people to write the word "Jiazi" on the door of the government office as a recognition, and on the other hand, he sent **** Yi to Jingzhou and Yangzhou to gather tens of thousands of people to Ye to prepare, and went to Luoyang several times to collude with the eunuchs Fengxu and Xu Feng, wanting to cooperate with the outside world.
However, a month before the uprising, a disciple of Zhang Jiao named Tang Zhou reported to the Yamen, confessing the inner Ying **** righteousness of the Beijing Division, Liu Hong, the son of heaven, was furious when he heard it, and ordered the arrest of **** Yi and sentenced him to a split line, and the officers and soldiers vigorously arrested and killed believers in Taiping Taoism, more than 1,000 people, and ordered Jizhou to pursue Zhang Jiao. Due to the suddenness of the incident, Zhang Jiao was forced to attack in February a month earlier, which is known as the Yellow Turban Rebellion or the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
Because the Taiping Dao rebels all tied yellow scarves on their heads, they were called "yellow scarves" or "moth thieves", Zhang Jiao called himself "General Tiangong", and Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were respectively "General Digong" and "General Rengong" in the northern Jizhou area. Within a month, wars broke out in 28 counties in seven prefectures across the country, and the Yellow Turban Army was like a bamboo, and the prefectures and counties were lost, and the officials fled, shaking Kyoto.
Liu Hong, the son of heaven, saw that Zhang Jiao's Taiping Road was so powerful, and hurriedly took He Jin as the general on the Wushen Day in March, and led the five battalions of Yulin to be stationed in Duting, and ordered weapons on the hour to guard the Beijing Division; In addition, from the Hangu Pass, Otani, Guangcheng, Yique, Yuyuan, Revolving Gate, Mengjin, Kopingjin and other Kyoto Passes, set up the garrison of the Commandery; He ordered all prefectures and counties to prepare for battle, train soldiers, count weapons, and gather rebels.
Then he ordered Lu Zhi to lead the deputy general Zongyuan to lead the five colonels of the Northern Army to take charge of the northern front and deal with Zhang Jiao's main force; Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun each led an army, controlled more than 40,000 people from the Five Schools, the Three Rivers Knights and the newly recruited elite warriors, and crusaded against the Yellow Turban Army in the Yingchuan area.
Then there were countless rebels in various places, and Zhang Lu, the leader of the Wudoumi Sect, united with Zhang Xiu, another leader of the Wudoumi Sect, led hundreds of thousands of people, captured Hanzhong, killed Taishou, eliminated the local Shi clan forces, and responded to Zhang Jiao.
Although Liu Yan had been prepared under Liu Xuewu's reminder, he received a battle report within a few days of the sudden incident, Zhang Lu and others broke through Hanzhong and killed Taishou to demonstrate. It can be described as a thunderbolt, it turns out that Zhang Lu's mother is a famous beauty in Shu who has more dealings with Liu Fu than Liu Fu, and has an inexplicable relationship with Liu Yan. So there has been a lot of indulgence in his actions, after Liu Xuewu's warning, although Liu Yan paid attention, sent someone to supervise but there was no negative news coming, and it was a little disapproving, and now when the matter came to the end, Liu Yan sent someone to arrest Zhang Lu's mother, but he did not expect it to resist, Zhang's mother finished cutting herself, and the two sides formed a big enmity. On the one hand, Liu Yan asked his generals Dong Fu, Yan Yan, Wu Yi and others to summon Qi military horses to wait for orders, and ordered strategists Zhao Wei, Huang Quan, Zhang Song and others to come to discuss the matter.
According to historical records, during the Liu Yan period: Dong Fuzi Mao'an, who was originally a servant of the imperial court, followed Liu Yan into Shu and served as the governor of the western part of Shu County. Yan Yanzi Heber, guarding Ba County, and later surrendered for Liu Bei. Wu Yi and Liu Mao's brother-in-law are generals in the army. Zhang Luzi Gongqi, appointed as Sima in the army, and was later ordered to occupy Hanzhong, Liu Yan's power increased greatly, and he was Liu Yan's eyeliner, but then he became self-reliant. Jia Long Yizhou engaged, welcomed Liu Yan into Shu, because he was dissatisfied with Liu Yan's secession of Shuzhong and raised troops to crusade, was killed. Zhao Wei was originally the Taicang Order, followed Liu Yan into Shu, and established Liu Zhang as the main order. Zhang Xiu Beibu Sima. After being trapped in Hanzhong, he was attacked and killed by Zhang Lu and died. Huang Quanzi Gongheng, a native of Langzhong, Brazil in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Zhang Songzi Yongnian is a resourceful adviser in the Yizhou area. Gao Pei Liu Yan general. Yang Huai and Liu Yan generals. Deng Xian and Liu Yan generals. Pang Xi Liu Yan is a general, a native of Henan, Yuzhou, and the father-in-law of Liu Zhang's eldest son, Liu Xun. Pang Xi was named the Taishou of Ba County for his meritorious service in escorting several of Liu Yan's grandsons. Liu Gui and Liu Yan generals. Ling Bao Liu Yan general. Fazhen Fazheng's grandfather, a famous scholar in the late Han Dynasty, moved his family to Shu due to the war, and became one of Liu Yan's advisers. Zhang Su and Zhang Song's brother, Ren Guanghan was too guarded, waiting to denounce his brother's rebellion, so that Zhang Song's family was affected. Gan Ning's word Xingba, originally Jiang Kou, called "Jinfan."
thief", surrendered for Liu Yan, after Liu Yan's death, he had a grudge with Zhao Wei and took refuge in Liu Biao in anger.
Just when everyone in the meeting hall of Liu's Mansion was still discussing, a handsome young man in armor and armed broke in and shouted: "Father, I should be the commander in this battle, and send 10,000 troops to level the thief." ”
"Nonsense, isn't it child's play to lead troops to fight, you are only young, you have not been on the battlefield, you can only talk about soldiers on paper, mistake my soldiers, and don't let me go back to the room to think about it."
Just when Liu Zhang was about to continue to make trouble, the strategist Zhang Xiu spoke, the lord is slow, we have no good strategy to break the thief at present, the little boy wants to open his mouth and take command, why don't we listen to him, the lord doesn't hear the third son's call.
At this time, Liu Yan's heart was on the line, and the world said that I Liu Yan gave birth to a good son, but no one knew that my Liu Yan's four sons were all talented, and seeing that little Liu Zhang had gotten rid of his weak character under the pressure of his brother, he had a plan and said: "Since Zhang Xiu is speaking for you, what plan do you have, if the plan is acceptable, I will not stop you." ”
Liu Zhang, who was already hopeless, immediately spoke: "I want to make Gan Xingba order 3,000 men and horses as the vanguard, with Duan Fei leading 1,000 cavalry to respond, and then Zhang Xiu leading 1,000 soldiers and horses to be responsible for grain and grass baggage, and I have 5,000 men and horses left as the Chinese army. My father is not afraid of my safety, and he has his own master to protect him. ”
"Okay, well, congratulations to the lord, the family is all unicorns, and Ji Yuzhi is not inferior to your brother." Yan Yan on the side opened his mouth unconsciously, and everyone said hello to Liu Yan.
"Heber smiled, I know that Heber has itchy hands, just right, I ordered you and Ji Yu to lead 10,000 horses each, and the soldiers were divided into two ways to exterminate the Zhang thief and recover Hanzhong." Liu Yan ordered with a pleased smile.
Let's talk about the story that Liu Zhang and Gan Xingba have to tell, it turned out that on the day of Liu Zhang's coming-of-age ceremony, although Liu Xuewu was not present, he sent a roster to Liu Zhang, and the letter said that the list of most famous men and women in the world should be more than not, so that Liu Zhang should pay more attention to it, don't miss the talent. It is said that our little Liu Zhang is given the word Ji Yu is considered an adult, but the worship of his brother Liu Xuewu is getting deeper and deeper, and he is convinced of the list, and he orders people to look for it in many ways, on the one hand, he also wants to develop himself, not to surpass his brother, but to leave a name in the world, otherwise the world only knows the third son Liu Xuewu when he talks about Liu Yan's son, so Liu Zhang works harder to practice martial arts and literature, and here asks for the shadow area of Xiao Liu Zhang's heart from childhood to adulthood. On this day, Liu Zhang, who was inspecting the military, unconsciously walked to the partial camp, what is the partial camp, that is, the modern logistics department, what kind of fire head army and the like, and kept chanting the names in the roster and the description of Gan Ning.
Reciting the word Ganning Xingba, the people of Linjiang in Bajun "have little strength, good ranger". But he didn't do his job, and often gathered a group of light teenagers and became his own leader. They are in groups, carrying bows and arrows, with bird feathers on their heads, and bells on their bodies, wandering around, known as brocade sail thieves at the time, but they have extraordinary bravery, strange wisdom, and are the talents of generals. Just then did he finish chattering, and he heard a laugh. A man stood five steps in front of Liu Zhang, knelt down on one knee, and swore to Liu Zhang: "When everyone said that I was a prodigal son, but no one knew the talent of Gan Ning. "It turned out that Gan Ning was silent in the Shuzhong army, and not long ago he was transferred to the partial camp as a guard, just when Xiao Liu Zhang stepped into the partial camp, he respectfully waited aside, but heard Xiao Liu Zhang was chanting his name and saying his own things, at first Liu Zhang said "when people called the Jinfan thief", I thought that Liu Gongzi heard about his own affairs from somewhere,
Ran to laugh at himself for fun, just about to have a seizure, but heard "but there is extraordinary bravery, strange wisdom, is for the talent of the general", the excitement at that time was like Maxima and Boler, immediately knelt down to express allegiance.
This scared Liu Zhang a lot, came back to his senses, and hurriedly helped Gan Ning up: "Zi Fei Xingbahu? ”
"The villain is Gan Xingba, the son doesn't know me, how can he know my cheap name." Gan Ning wondered.
Xiao Liu Zhang's coke blossomed, Gan Xingba's talent as a general, and he was in his heart: "Hmph, ask me how I know him, will I still tell him that his brother gave the people on the list to him as a gift, so it's strange if he doesn't run away." "Actually, little Liu Zhang will be wrong, Liu Xuewu is not so great, give talents to Liu Zhang as a gift, his original intention was to let Liu Zhang help him find these talents, but unexpectedly little Liu Zhang came to take it for himself, if Liu Xuewu knew it, he would be angry,
The family is unfortunate and meets a thief.
So Xiao Liu Zhang couldn't wait to open his mouth and said: "I have heard the prestige of Xingba for a long time, but I haven't known it, I regret it for a long time, and now I am fortunate to see Xingba, I have no shame, I don't know if Xingba wants to be my general, and the former name is now in the world?" ”
Under the flickering of Xiao Liu Zhang, Gan Xingba shouted again: "I am willing to die for the Lord." ”
Since then, Gan Xingba has become Liu Zhang's lifelong confidant, and he has been ordered to the world with his 3,000 foot soldiers.
Little Liu Zhang, who tasted the sweetness, was more loyal to visiting celebrities, and was even more friends with Zhang Xiu, Fa Zheng and others.
