A.D. 184, the second year of Han Guanghe, the beginning of February.

Tang Zhou carried Zhang Jiao's incriminating evidence, and under the leadership of Taifu Liu Yan, he walked into the Chongde Hall, the center of political power of the Han Dynasty, and reported Zhang Jiao's conspiracy to rebel to Emperor Ling in person, and listed dozens of evidences.

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty ordered the arrest of Ma Yuanyi, the head of the Yellow Sect of Sili, Ma Yuanyi was arrested and imprisoned in less than half a day, Emperor Ling seemed to be a little impatient, did not do any interrogation, directly split Ma Yuanyi, and then bloodily suppressed all the Yellow Sect gathering points around Luoyang, strangled all the Yellow Sect believers, that night only around Luoyang, tens of thousands of people were brutally killed, among which there were even many young children's heads taken by the soldiers to take the lead in the army, and the ordinary people who were involved in it for no reason were countless, and for a while the whole Sizhou complained, The public is outraged.

After Ma Yuanyi's death, Emperor Ling sent a holy decree to Huang Wan, the commander of Sili who trained the Northern Army in the Mengjin generation, asking him to immediately bring 100,000 Northern Army into Luoyang, responsible for defending Jinggi, and promoted Yilang He Jin to be the general, the governor of the world's soldiers and horses, and led the soldiers of the five battalions of Yulin and the Northern Army to be stationed in Duting, and the weapons were ordered on the hour to guard the Beijing Division.

He also set up garrisons at Kyoto Passes, such as Hangu Pass, Otani, Guangcheng, Yique, Yuyuan, Revolving Gate, Mengjin, and Koheima, and issued an edict to all localities to strictly guard against them, and ordered all prefectures and counties to be ready for battle, train soldiers, count weapons, and gather loyal men to quell the rebels.

Transferred Sikong Zhang Wen as the lieutenant of Si Li, went to Henan Yin to garrison, Henan Yin is the southern barrier of Luoyang, it is very important, no one is available, Emperor Ling can only put Zhang Wen still out, of course, the position of Sikong can not be vacant, and then Emperor Ling was promoted to Huang Wan as Sikong, and he is fully responsible for the allocation of grain and grass required by the army of various ministries.

In order to suppress the rebellion in various places, Emperor Ling issued several holy decrees, appointed Beidi County Taishou Huangfu Song as the general of Zuo Zhonglang, commanded 80,000 iron cavalry in Beidi County, and went south to clear the Sanfu generation of Huangjiao believers, the main target was the Huangjiao believers of the generation gathered in Weixing County.

Huangfu Song took advantage of the situation to ask Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty to lift the ban on the party, take out the money and good horses of the West Garden and reward the three armies to improve morale, and the minister 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." 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 department for interviews.

It is absolutely not enough to appoint an emperor Fu Song, and then Emperor Ling ordered Zhu Jun, the assassin of Jizhou, to be the right middle general, and transferred 200,000 elite infantry soldiers from Jizhou to the south to the area of Shouchun, pacifying the more than 600,000 Yellow Sect believers in Shouchun, and most importantly, Zhang Bao's 600,000 Yellow Turbans must be controlled to the east of the Huai River, and Zhang Bao must not be allowed to lead the believers into Yuzhou!

Ren Lu Zhi is the general of Xizhong Lang, Dong Zhuo is the deputy general, commanding 50,000 elite northern troops, 50,000 border troops in the Sanfu area, and 200,000 iron cavalry in Liangzhou, facing Zhang Jiao, who commands 400,000 Yizhou soldiers who have arrived in Hanzhong, must suppress Zhang Jiao south of Chencang, and kill Zhang Jiao as much as possible.

Of course, it has to be mentioned that Yilang Cao Ying was appointed as the general of the Tiger Prison Pass, leading 10,000 elite northern troops, responsible for garrisoning the Tiger Prison Pass to resist the Central Plains Rebellion that may break out at any time. Some of the famous princes also rushed to the stage, and all of a sudden, the world rose together.

In 184 AD, the sixth year of Han Guanghe, in mid-February, when he learned that the matter was exposed, Tang Zhou reported to Emperor Ling in the court, Ma Yuanyi was torn apart, Zhang Jiao was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot, and even swore in public that he would punish Tang Zhou in this life, and he would cut Tang Zhou with a thousand knives.

Immediately notified the Huangjiao branch of the state in the world overnight, and immediately started the incident after seeing the order, Zhang Jiao appointed himself as a great sage and good teacher, led the general of Tiangong, and named his brother Zhang Bao as the general of the earth, and Zhang Liang as the general of the people.

That night, Zhang Jiao swore an oath in Hanzhong, with the words "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world is lucky!" As a slogan, the Yellow Sect believers in all parts of the world were ordered to rebel, and as soon as the slogan came out, the world was shaken, and some farmers who could not stand the oppression threw themselves into the chaos, and for a time the Yellow Sect believers were all over the Han world.

Cangtian refers to the Han Dynasty, and the Yellow Sky refers to Zhang Jiao's Taiping Dao, 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 the Yellow Sect believers must wear the Yellow Turban on their heads, and therefore, the rebels are called the Yellow Turban Army by the people of the world.

At the beginning, the masses responded, either enlisting as believers, or sending food and clothing, and the Yellow Turban Army developed rapidly. It is also very popular with the people, and even the people voluntarily send their children to the Yellow Turban Army, the men are soldiers, and the women find a good man to start a family.

After the righteous army conquered the town, it also lived up to the expectations of the people, successively burned down the government, killed corrupt officials, distributed their property to the people, and sometimes even gave their own military rations to the people, among which Zhang Jiao's army did the best, widely Shi Ende and Sanfu, almost the army just entered Sanfu, did not fight, and captured countless cities, the surrounding area of Sanfu, it can be said that it completely fell into the hands of Zhang Jiao, and the army went straight to Chang'an.

The corrupt officials and corrupt officials in the counties usually act as powerful and prosperous, but when they heard that the righteous army was coming, they were frightened, like a lost dog, they abandoned the city and county governance, fled and fled, and did not make the slightest resistance at all, so that in just half a month, the Han Dynasty had lost five or six out of ten.

In fact, the regions still under the control of the Son of Heaven are only Sizhou, Chang'an, Liangzhou, Jizhou, Nanyang, and all other states and counties, except for the barely defended state with many soldiers and horses, and the situation can be said to be extremely critical.

The world shook, the Jingshi shook, and Emperor Ling didn't dare to leave the court, reviewing the war reports from all over the country at any time, and repeatedly urging the Han army to quell the rebellion, but the strange thing is that for Liu Tai in the north, Emperor Ling didn't have an edict, and he didn't even say hello, what does this mean?

In fact, it can also be understood, after all, the five coalition forces of the grassland went south, the number was as high as one million, which was more serious than the Huangjiao Rebellion, because Liu Tai blocked the Erzhou checkpoint, and all the forces in the world have not yet got any accurate news, only know that Liu Tai laid an ambush in Shanggu, fought a big victory, and annihilated tens of thousands of enemies, but no one knows the exact number.

After mid-February, Liu Tai repeatedly mobilized troops and horses to the south, and laid heavy troops along Jizhou and Sizhou, as if the target of the northern Xinjiang had changed, but the question was how could the northern Xinjiang defeat the five-ethnic alliance so quickly? This is obviously unrealistic, a million iron horses are not a million ants, even if you stand there and kill you, you can't kill them in a short time, not to mention that all tribes have military commanders with high reputations.

In fact, it is not said that Liu Tai defeated the alliance of the five tribes, because among the five tribes, in addition to Goguryeo is still in a stalemate with the Tianci army, the 100,000 iron cavalry of Xianbei in the east has retreated, and the 400,000 iron cavalry of the two divisions in the middle and west have died in the case of Dakeng people, and more than 300,000 people have been captured.

The alliance of the five ethnic groups is a contradictory combination, after the defeat of the two Xianbei in the West and the West, the Northern Xiongnu and Qianghu shook a shot, and then fled in a hurry, and even the military food and materials were not wanted, in the Qianghu side, tens of thousands of Han people fled in embarrassment, these people were captured Han people in the Liangzhou area, Wei Jie naturally could not not accept it, and the Northern Xiongnu was even more ridiculous, the Tianci army collected the materials from the Northern Xiongnu camp, almost filled several large warehouses, worried that the Tianci army took advantage of the victory to pursue, the Northern Xiongnu left tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, Because the cattle and sheep are not easy to carry, the speed is too slow, if the trip is delayed, it will be sad to be followed by the Tianci army.

In the east, the only one who is still fighting with the north is Bogu's hundreds of thousands of Goguryeo army, because Liu Tai has not agreed to release Gao Wunan, Bogu is also very stubborn, and Ao Wu played guerrilla warfare, and left with a shot, making Xuanwu County devastated in just a few months, of course, Bogu did not dare to slaughter the Han people, because everyone knew that Wuheng was destroyed, and the Southern Xiongnu were destroyed, all because of the slaughter of the Han people, Bogu did not want Gao Wunan to be killed, so he naturally did not dare to be excessive.

Liu Tai had a great headache about the situation in Goguryeo, because at this time the Yellow Turban Rebellion had broken out, and it was impossible to transfer the army to the northeast, and if he wanted to pacify Goguryeo, he could only use the local army in the northeast.

War exploits, where do war exploits come from? Dian Wei smashed Huanglong in Lu Longsai single-handedly, it can be said that the eastern Xianbei suffered heavy losses, among which the Murong Department even suffered many massacres by the Flying Halberd Army, and the dead people were as high as seventy or eighty thousand, the blood flowed into a river, the corpse mountain and the sea of blood, the entire Eastern Xianbei fell into decadence, and the Murong Department also declined, Dian Wei, who single-handedly directed this battle, after Liu Tai, won the title of bloody butcher and the Great Demon King, and even within the Eastern Xianbei, anyone who mentioned the name of Dian Wei would be attacked by a group, because the name of Dian Wei has become a taboo in the Eastern Xianbei! A source of hatred!!

Of course, what Dian Wei did was before the Battle of Shanggu, which was not a violation of Liu Tai's military orders, and in order to arouse the belligerent heart of the soldiers, Liu Tai even rewarded Dian Wei with 5,000 taels of yellow scarves in public, a courtyard in the Shenhou Mansion, hundreds of elite war horses, and thousands of silk horses.

Well, after Liu Tai made such a reward, he also strictly ordered his subordinates, from now on, whether it is a civil war or a foreign war, no more massacres will be allowed, of course, if during the conquest of foreign tribes, those grassland tribesmen have a strong sense of resistance, then there is nothing to say, decisively all sent to see the king of Yama, the country is easy to change his surname and difficult to change, even if Liu Tai's temper is good, no longer pursue the extermination policy, but can not let those Hu dogs be arrogant because of their own military order not to slaughter, isn't this self-tied?

Liu Tai will not do such a stupid thing, and Xi Zhicai and others will naturally not let Liu Tai give this kind of order, moderate, neither too benevolent, nor too cruel, with a big stick in one hand and a carrot in the other, who has played Liu Tai?
