Chapter 49: The Yellow Turban Uprising (Ask for Recommendation)

The political situation at the end of the Han Dynasty was unstable, the dictatorship of foreign relatives, the dictatorship of eunuchs, and the war against Xiqiang lasted for decades, with huge expenses and heavy military service. In addition, the phenomenon of land annexation is serious, and the people are not able to make a living. In the last feudal superstitious era, the people all have religious beliefs, Zhang Jiao took this opportunity to use the strange book "Taiping Yaoshu" on the classics, to save the people, and vigorously preach "the sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, the world is auspicious." ”

This kind of superstitious thinking is demagogic, and the people have long lost trust in the current court. 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 the big party and 6,700 people in the small side.

In 184 A.D. (the year of Jiazi), Zhang Jiao met with the believers on March 5 and said that on March 5, the slogan "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the year 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 is the fire virtue, the fire gives birth to the earth, and the soil is yellow, so all the believers tie the yellow scarf on their heads as a mark, symbolizing the Eastern Han Dynasty to replace [***].

In addition, Zhang Jiao sent people to write the word "Jiazi" on the door of the political axe organ as a record, and on the other hand, he sent Ma Yuanyi 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 Feng Xu and Xu Feng, wanting to cooperate with the outside and occupy Luoyang in one fell swoop.

However, a month before the uprising, a disciple of Zhang Jiao named Tang Zhou told the informant and confessed to Ma Yuanyi, the inner director of the Beijing Division, Ma Yuanyi was torn apart, and the officers and soldiers vigorously arrested and killed the believers who believed in the Taiping Dao, and ordered Jizhou to hunt down Zhang Jiao. Due to the suddenness of the incident, Zhang Jiao was forced to attack in February a month in advance, known as the Yellow Turban Uprising or the Yellow Turban Rebellion, because the rebels tied the yellow turban on their heads, so they were called "Yellow Turbans" or "Moth Thieves", Zhang Jiao called himself "General Tiangong", Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were "General Digong" and "General Rengong" in Jizhou. 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.

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty saw that Taiping Dao was so powerful, and hurriedly said in March that He Jin was the general, 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.

At the same time, Huangfu Song asked for the lifting of the party ban, and took out the palace money and the good horses in the West Garden to give to the sergeants to improve morale, and Lu Yi said to Emperor Ling: "The party has been resentful for a long time, and if you conspire with the Yellow Turban, I am afraid that there is no help." ”

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty accepted the proposal, said amnesty to the party members in Renzi, returned the migrants, asked the ministers to donate horses and crossbows, and recommended the descendants of the generals and people with deep strategies to the bus bureau for interviews.

On the other hand, he sent elite troops to suppress the chaos in various places: Lu Zhiling, the deputy general, led 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, 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.

At the same time, all the powerful people in the world responded one after another, raised troops to crusade against the rebellion, and slowly stepped onto the stage of the troubled times, starting the era of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty

On February 6, in the pavilion of Liu's Mansion, Liu Yu was sitting opposite Xi Zhicai.

"Master Hou, Jizhou urgent." Zhang Ling walked into the pavilion quickly, ignoring Liu Yu's usual order not to be disturbed, and reported urgently.

"Are you coming?" Hearing this, Liu Yu's hand holding the chess pieces trembled, and the chess pieces in his hand dripped on the chessboard, and in the crisp sound, the chess surface was instantly chaotic, just like the current world, becoming messy, and smoke was everywhere.

"Bring it." took the paper handed by Zhang Ling, looked at the scarlet Chinese characters at the beginning of the paper, "Taiping Road Zhang Jiao and February 5th Said to Rise Up", his face couldn't help showing a touch of excitement, and in the end, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and laughed, and the opportunity he was waiting for finally came.

"God help me." Liu Yu exuded a monstrous domineering aura and ordered: "Uncle Zhang, quickly send someone to send Zhang Fei and Xu Rong to meet me, and let them wait for me in the lobby after they come." ”

"Nuo" Zhang Ling received the order respectfully, looking at the domineering aura exuded by Liu Yu's body, Liu Yu in Liu's family vaguely appeared in front of him, and a mountain of corpses slowly appeared in front of him, and the old face showed an excited look, and secretly said in his heart: "After this time, the Liu family will definitely go to a new ladder." ”

It wasn't until Zhang Ling's figure disappeared in front of him that Liu Yufang calmed down, looked at the calm Xi Zhicai beside him, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he handed the paper in his hand to the other party at the moment, and said with a smile: "Take a look, and then tell me how you feel?" ”

Watching Xi Zhicai take the paper, Liu Yu's eyes flashed with a gleam, this is also his temptation of Xi Zhicai, since the other party last proposed to leave, three days have passed, and the other party has not proposed to leave again, and his attitude towards him has also changed subtly, he just wants to take the opportunity to see if it is possible for Xi Zhicai to be subdued, if not, now that the world is in chaos, it is time for him to find his mastermind.

Xi Zhicai finished reading the paper in his hand at a glance, his eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "Opportunity." ”

Liu Yu was stunned, he thought that Xi Zhi would suddenly realize after seeing it, and even opened his mouth to say that the world was in chaos, but he didn't expect that the other party's opening was the word "opportunity", this opportunity obviously could not be about himself, but about him Liu Yu's opportunity.

"Now that the signs of troubled times are present, Hou Ye should prepare early." Xi Zhicai didn't care about Liu Yu, who looked puzzled, pondered for a moment, and then said solemnly: "Master Hou, in view of the current situation, there are three strategies for the upper, middle and lower levels, can Master Hou listen to it?" After speaking, his eyes flashed with bright light and looked at Liu Yu, exuding a convincing temperament.

Looking at the current drama Zhicai, Liu Yu's body was shocked, and his face showed ecstasy, the other party would actually offer advice for him, which means that the other party is effectively loyal to him, and immediately suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "I want to hear it." ”

"The next policy, Hou Ye can let the Taiping Road sweep Youzhou, and then Hou Ye quickly dispatched troops, using rebellion as an excuse to occupy Youzhou, and then go south, seize the land of Qing, Merge, and Wing three continents, plus Youzhou, a total of four continents, and do the act of splitting the soil and sealing the king, but after that, Hou Ye will face the conquest of the imperial court, and this strategy does not agree with Hou Ye's travel."

"In the middle strategy, Hou Ye should quickly send troops, go straight to Huanglong, surprise attack Julu County, Jizhou, behead the heads of the three brothers of Zhang Jiao, and then send it to Luoyang for reward, this merit, Hou Ye should be able to seal ten thousand households."

"The best policy, only one word, wait!"

After speaking, Xi Zhicai stared at Liu Yu with a bright eye, clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "I don't know which strategy Hou Ye chooses?" ”

Liu Yu ignored Xi Zhicai's question, but asked with a solemn expression: "Brother Zhicai, are you willing to help Benhou calm the world?" ”

Hearing this, Xi Zhicai was stunned, and after a while, he knelt on one knee with a solemn face and said in a deep voice: "A certain drama Zhicai, I wish to help the Lord determine the world fairly!" ”

"Good! Good!! Good!!! Hearing this, Liu Yu said hello three times in a row, and it was difficult to hide the surprise on his face, both of them were deliberately negligent, and what the other party said was to calm the world, not to calm the Taiping Road, it can be seen that the ambitions of the two are clearly revealed.

After being happy for a while, Liu Yu calmed down, thought for a moment, and then said: "It's not advisable to make a decision, the foundation of the Han Dynasty for four hundred years, even if Benhou has the ability to take it, he has no ability to govern; The middle policy is too mediocre, it can only obtain temporary benefits, and if it ignores Ben Hou in the future, this policy is also not taken. Speaking of this, Liu Yu said with a firm face: "This candidate is the best candidate." ”

After speaking, Liu Yu looked at Xi Zhicai's appreciative eyes, pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Zhicai, this wait, I don't know how to wait?" ”

Liu Yu comes from later generations, and he has often thought about his future over the years, of course he knows the mystery of the word "wait", but he is still a little unconvinced in his heart, and wants to use this to compete with Xi Zhicai again, of course, it was unfair to Xi Zhicai at the beginning, but even if it is cheating, he wants to win this time, which is about the dignity of his traverser.

Xi Zhicai glanced at Liu Yu, rolled his eyes in his heart, and said: "There are three wonderful uses, first, now the Taiping Dao uprising has not been completed, and the dynasty does not attach importance to it, so even if Hou Ye exterminates Taiping Dao, the reward will not be high, and when Taiping Dao is huge, Hou Ye's credit can increase geometrically, which is one." ”

"Second, because this uprising happened suddenly, the imperial court must be unable to quell the rebellion, so it will definitely recruit the world's heroes to raise troops to quell the rebellion.

"Third, the greater the momentum of the Taiping Dao, the greater the blow to the Han Dynasty, which is conducive to the future development of the Hou Ye, and the more the Taiping Dao is more powerful, after the Hou Ye is exterminated, whether it is the fame of the opposition or the more rewards he will receive, this is three."

The more he listened to Liu Yu's heart, the greater the shock became, you must know that he also thought of these, but it was with his foresight and three years of thinking that he thought of so much, but after knowing that Taiping Dao rebelled, Xi Zhicai thought of so much in the next moment, which had to make him full of frustration.

"Bastard, I knew I shouldn't compare myself to this kind of demon, this is simply self-inflicted." Liu Yu was speechless in his heart,
