However, Liu Bei's small victory is only a small tidbit of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, unable to control the overall situation of the world, Taiping Taoist believers all over the country have revolted, they burned down the government, killed the officials, looted everywhere, within a month, the country seven states and 28 counties have been war, the Yellow Turban Army is like a bamboo, the state and county are lost, the officials fled, and the earthquake shook Kyoto.

Above the main hall of the Luoyang Imperial Palace, hundreds of civil and military officials trembled and knelt on the ground, bearing the wrath of those in power on the throne.

"Waste, it's all a bunch of waste, just you idiots still claim to be the pillars of the country, the cornerstone of the Han Dynasty, and the pillars of civil and military affairs? It's all rubbish! Look at you, in just one month, half of the land of the Han Dynasty has been out of control, and some officials from all over the country have been killed, and some have fled, which is all good! More of them turned out to be direct to the enemy! Don't you all boast of your arms? No one spoke up at the critical moment? It's all rubbish! ”

In addition to the constant rebuke of Emperor Han Ling, the silence was terrifying, and all the officials did not say a word, for fear that their heads and necks would say goodbye forever because of the trembling of their mouths.

Finally, a message came from outside the door, and the terrible atmosphere was put to an end for the time being.

"Your Majesty, General He was ordered to arrest Zhang Jiao, and he has now returned and is waiting for orders outside the palace."

"Xuan! Hurry up and announce He Aiqing's entry into the palace! Emperor Han Ling stood up excitedly and shouted, he has been pampered since he was a child, and he only fantasizes about being able to finish his emperor career peacefully, who would have expected to suddenly encounter such a large-scale rebellion, he has long been flustered, and urgently needs someone to help him settle down, how much he hopes that He Jin will bring him a good news, it is best to bring Zhang Jiao's head, but his illusions are shattered again.

I saw He Jin hurriedly running into the hall, kneeling directly in front of Emperor Han Ling, and crying: "Your Majesty is angry, the minister is incompetent, the minister was ordered to go to Jizhou to capture Zhang Jiao, who expected Zhang Jiao to get the news to revolt in advance, with 100,000 troops in Julu, and the minister only led 5,000 Yulin troops, which is really not an opponent, so the minister ......... In vain...."

When Emperor Han Ling heard this, he fell back on the throne with a bang, and said: "It's messy, it's all messy, it's over, the world of the Han Dynasty is coming to an end, I didn't expect that my Han Dynasty has been established for hundreds of years, and it will finally end in my hands." “

At this time, Zhang Rang, who had been silent for a long time, 'comforted' Emperor Han Ling and said: "Your Majesty, don't panic, although there are thieves rebelling all over the country, but it is not a long time, presumably they must not have formed a unified jurisdiction, not to be afraid, not to mention that according to the information obtained by the ministers, the leaders of the rebellion are only Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang. ”

When Emperor Ling heard this, his gloomy eyes once again shone with hope, and he said, "What my father said is very true! Come on, quickly write a surrender letter to me, I want to surrender Zhang Jiao! ”

When the ministers heard this, they could no longer be silent, and Taifu Hu Guang took the lead in shouting: "Your Majesty, you must not, the ambition of the Yellow Turban wolf, this rebellion has been planned for a long time, and we are recruiting them now, it is tantamount to conspiring with the tiger, it is absolutely impossible to succeed!" ”

Zhu Jun also said: "Your Majesty, as Zhang Changshou said, although there are rebels in the whole country, but fortunately, it has not been for a long time, and we have not yet established a unified liaison with each other, and we still have hope of countering the rebellion. ”

Huangfu Song even directly asked for the lifting of the party ban, and asked to take out the palace money and the good horses of the West Garden to give to the sergeants to improve morale. And Lu Yi said to Emperor Ling: "The party has accumulated for a long time, if you conspire with the Yellow Turban, you will regret it."

When the ten permanent servants led by Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong heard the request to remove the party, they went to slander and tempted Emperor Ling to accept the proposal of surrender.

The eunuch group headed by the Ten Standing Servants and the officials led by Huangfu Song and Hu Guang argued in the court again, refusing to give in to each other, and constantly attacking each other, which really gave Emperor Han Ling a headache.

Just when Emperor Ling hesitated, He Jinjin, the leader of his relatives who knelt on the ground to apologize, said: "Your Majesty, although Weichen failed to capture Zhang Jiao this time, the minister also agrees with the views of Taifu and General Huangfu, that group of untouchables are extremely treacherous, if we surrender to them, we will definitely rebel again, and cause greater disasters, so Weichen is brave and willing to make a mistake and lead my Han elite to suppress the rebellion!" If it doesn't work, Weichen will come to see you! “

He Jin said this, not because he really had the same position as Huangfu Song and others, after all, Huangfu Song and others were old ministers of the Han Dynasty for several generations, and they were handed over to the Han court wholeheartedly for generations, and this He Jin was originally a pig killer, because his sister was Queen He, and gave birth to the prince Liu Wei, she was valued by Emperor Ling, and established a strong foreign relative force in the Han court.

There are two reasons why He Jin asked to recruit the Yellow Turban thieves: one is that Tang Zhou left a deep shadow on He Jin's psychology, so that He Jin does not have any sense of trust and favor towards the Yellow Turban, and the other is that He Jin is eager to improve his status in the court and grasp greater power by purging the Yellow Turban Army.

The group of relatives and officials headed by He Jin, when they heard He Jin say this, they no longer remained silent, and asked Emperor Ling to have a long pain that was better than a short pain, and made up their minds to fight to the death with the Yellow Turban thieves, of course, it was nothing more than good words to praise He Jin.

Therefore, the remarks of the eunuch group headed by the ten permanent servants were instantly suppressed by the foreign relatives group and the old officials of the Han Dynasty, which made Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty give up the idea of peace talks, and made up his mind to fight with the Yellow Turban thieves to the end and accepted the proposal of Huangfu Song and others.

Through this method, many talented people were recruited to join the team of suppressing the Yellow Turbans, such as Cao Cao, the descendant of the eunuch Cao Teng, which is a later story and will not be mentioned for the time being.

On the other hand, the Han court 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 maneuver with Zhang Jiao's main force; Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun each led an army, controlled the five schools, the knights of the three rivers and the newly recruited elite warriors, a total of more than 40,000 people, and crusaded against the Yellow Turban Army in the Yingchuan area.

The soldiers of the Han Dynasty have been directed at the Yellow Turban thieves, the war is about to break out in various places, the smoke of the beacon fire has been ignited, in this storm of the Yellow Turban, our Liu Bei is also ready to ride the wind and soar up to 90,000 miles.
