(On such a hot day, Xiaolong has insisted on the first line of the codeword, getting up at six o'clock in the morning, and the code is only good now, brothers, for the sake of Xiaolong working so hard, is it okay to subscribe?) In 184 A.D., in the sixth year of Han Guanghe, summer, in early April, in just over a month, six or seven out of ten of the Han Dynasty were lost to the Yellow Turban Army, the East Route Army, and the right Zhonglang General Zhu Jun was defeated by Zhang Bao in Ruyang, and the loss of troops was as many as tens of thousands.

And Zhang Bao's 600,000 army marched by land and water, within a few days, conquered the three counties of Geyang, Anfeng, and Qiao, and surrounded the county town of Xinxi, the army was huge, the joint camp was overwhelming, Yuzhou was shaken, and the whole world was due east, and Zhu Jun's hundreds of thousands of troops could be said to be in danger.

Zhu Jun's battle situation is unfavorable, Huangfu Song is not much better, 80,000 iron cavalry crusade against the anti-thief Zhang Liang assembled by the Wei Xing army, in Weixing County Zhang Liang's military division Jia You's serial plan, the loss of more than 10,000 elite soldiers, all the ordnance and materials lost, helpless can only retreat to Lantian and passive defense, and because of this, Huangfu Song has also been scolded a lot by Emperor Ling, but there is no general in the court in front of him, and he can only put his hope on Huang Fu Song, because Huang Fu Song is a famous general after all, after all, he lost the first battle, and it was also because he did not understand the opponent.

Lantian County is the last line of defense of Chang'an in Xijing, with complex topography and terrain, the south is the Qinling Mountains, the central and western rivers and plateaus are intertwined, and the north is Hengling. It is the main road leading to Guanzhong in the southeast Guanwaizhou County, as long as Lantian County is still in hand, it can ensure that Chang'an is worry-free, Sanfu is worry-free, Lantian County is 418-2449 meters above sea level. It belongs to the monsoon climate of the warm temperate semi-humid continent, which is suitable for forest, animal husbandry and grain. Agricultural resources are abundant.

If Lantian is lost, then Chang'an will be directly on the front of the chaotic army, and then the Sanfu area, which is finally restored to production, will fall into the war again, which is what Huangfu Song does not want to see, and it is also what Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty does not want to see, because Chang'an is the capital of the Han Dynasty, the cornerstone of the Han Dynasty, if Chang'an is lost, it is equivalent to breaking off the arm of the Han Dynasty, and slapping the face of the Han Dynasty, not only the courtiers have no face to see the people of the world, even the Emperor Ling has no face to see the people of the world.

Huang Fu Song knew the important surname of Lantian, and after collecting the defeated army, he hoarded mountain stones, fire oil and other defensive equipment in the area of Lantian, and transferred a large amount of grain and grass from Chang'an, obviously with the intention of fighting for a long time, and Huang Fu Song's move also obviously made most people more agreeable, because Huang Fu Song's soldiers and horses were not many, and it was obviously impossible to take the initiative to attack.

The armies of Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song were defeated and retreated one after another, and the situation of Lu Zhi, the general of Xizhonglang, was also very bad, and even worse than Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, why? Because when Lu Zhi's army arrived in Chencang, the entire territory of Chencang County had fallen into the hands of Zhang Jiao, so that the imperial court's conquest army was completely passive.

There was no danger to defend, the army commanded by Lu Zhi was beaten by Zhang Jiao and fled, Tianshui, Wei, and Anding counties were lost one after another, and retreated to Fufeng County, and they could only rely on the city of Shame to defend it, without the power to fight back, 300,000 troops and ten pavilions went to three pavilions, Lu Zhi fell seriously ill in the army, and Dong Zhuo temporarily took the post of chief general.

Above the Luoyang court, because of the unfavorable war reports everywhere, the Son of Heaven was furious, and he dismissed the Taiwei Yang Ci as a commoner, and appointed the Tai Servant Deng Sheng as the Tai Lieutenant, and the governor of all the troops and horses in the world. Xiang Xu and Zhang Jun pointed the finger at the eunuchs, saying that the eunuchs were the culprits of the chaos in the world, the Emperor Ling was furious, and the eunuchs were the minions of the Emperor Ling. The enraged Spirit Emperor directly sent the two to death row, and then gave them death.

The situation in the world has become more and more clear, the Yellow Turban Army has become a general trend, with as many as 1.5 million soldiers and horses in various departments, not counting the Yellow Turban Army in the Central Plains, just after the death of Xiang Xu and Zhang Jun, the rebel armies in Yuzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Yanzhou broke out again, and the only remaining states and counties in the imperial court also fell one after another.

Among them, the Yellow Turban Army of Yuzhou is the greatest threat to the Han Dynasty, the original Yellow Turban Army of Bocai is only tens of thousands, and Yin Zhangwen of Henan can barely defend, but after the outbreak again, Bocai's soldiers and horses swelled to 200,000 at once, the army covers the sky, the army is huge, the major counties are lost again and again, Zhang Wen is stubbornly defending Xinzheng, miserable, and the county soldiers under his command are less than 20,000.

If Xinzheng is lost, Zhang Wen can only retreat to Yangcheng, but Yangcheng has no danger to defend, Bocai can bypass Yangcheng at any time and take Luoyang directly, and then the Tianwei of the Han Dynasty will really be lost.

Not only the situation on Bocai's side is critical, but the situation in Nanyang is also very bad, Zhang Mancheng, who is known as the "divine envoy", set off a terrifying yellow turban wave in Nanyang, which engulfed the entire Nanyang County in an instant, with as many as 120,000 soldiers and horses, forming a corner with the Bocai army, ready to attack Luoyang at any time, and the situation is critical.

Ding Yuan, who had just pacified the Yellow Turban Army in Jingnan, was the only general who had defeated the Yellow Turban Army since more than a month, although it was a little watery, but its reputation was also resounding all over the world, after pacifying Jingnan, Ding Yuan led the army to the north non-stop to conquer Zhang Mancheng, and at this time Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian had just pacified the Yellow Turban in Changsha, and led eight thousand Jiangdong soldiers to the north to help Ding Yuan, taking the first step in the struggle for world domination.

Since Sun Jian is mentioned, it is natural to say that Liu Bei, who is entangled with the Sun family, loves and hates in one, since the northern Xinjiang was occupied by Liu Tai, Liu Tai completely gave up the idea of starting a family in the north, and after being a disciple of Lu Zhi for a few years, he traveled to the north and south of the river, became a strong hero, and also made a lot of reputation in the green forest.

In this Yellow Turban Uprising, Liu Bei saw the opportunity for his rise, and at this time Liu Bei happened to stay in Huiji County, Yangzhou, and talked about secrets with two heroes and a writer in a luxurious courtyard.

"Brother Liu, if there is chaos today, Yangzhou is even more in the hands of the Yellow Turban thieves, we have no way to serve the country, I hate it!!" A big man with a black face, his eyes were full of anger, and he gritted his teeth and said.

This person's surname is Xiang Fei, twenty years old, is a native of Huiji County, more than half a year ago Xiang Fei visited relatives and friends in the Central Plains, and when he returned, he was infected with the plague, and he was a symptom of typhoid fever, fainted on the street, and happened to be met by Liu Bei.

After Liu Bei said goodbye to Lu Zhi, he went back to Zhuo County, knew the treatment of typhoid fever in northern Xinjiang, and happened to have medicine on his body, and Xiang Fei was an extraordinary person, so he cherished his talents, regardless of his own safety, and personally took care of Xiang Fei's daily life, it took half a month, Xiang Fei's body finally recovered, and he was grateful for Liu Bei's kindness, and he had been following Liu Bei and protecting Liu Bei, but for some reason, he was not commensurate with the lord.

"Hey" Liu Bei sighed deeply, glanced at Xiang Fei, a fine light flashed in his eyes, lowered his head and sobbed slightly, and said: "As a member of the Han family, after King Jing of Zhongshan, now he has no merit, no gold and silver in his arms, and no way to serve the country, so he can only mourn the decline of the Han family in this mountain and wild place." ”

"Brother" Xiang Fei looked at Liu Bei's sad look, a look of pain flashed on his dark face, his head was lowered, his fists were clenched, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Brother Liu, although I Fan Hong is a puppet, but I am also a descendant of Wuhou Fan, the founding general of my Han Dynasty, there is nothing else, there is a surplus of gold in the family, and I can send it all to my brother to recruit soldiers, and I hope my brother will receive it." I saw a white-faced, shirtless, Shura-like man standing up, bowing to Liu Bei and shouting.

This person's name is Fan Hong, the word Wude, there is the courage of ten thousand people, is the descendant of Fan Xu, in the early Han Dynasty, Lu Hou lost power, on behalf of the king Liu Heng into the Han Palace called the emperor, Fan because he was too close to the Lu family, in order to avoid the disaster of extermination, a tribe moved south to Yangzhou Huiji County to avoid trouble, and Liu Hengren and did not punish Fan, but Yangzhou Fan did not return to the main line, has stayed in Yangzhou, to be a descendant of Wuhou, in this membership area, it can be regarded as a deep-rooted gate valve, well, although it is a gate valve, However, Fan Hong is just a side branch of the family, and it is good to have a daughter's property.

"Brother Fan" Liu Tai raised his head in surprise, with tears in his eyes, trembling all over, unable to say excited: "Brother Fan, although you are a descendant of Wuhou, your family resources are not abundant, if you give it all to your brother, how can you say the past for your brother." ”

"Hahaha" suddenly burst of laughter, and I saw a beautiful man sitting next to the three of them, the man was as plump as jade, with a confident smile on the corner of his mouth, wearing a green robe, holding a feather fan, indescribably chic.

"Brother Liu still doesn't understand? Brother Fan wants to follow Brother Liu to make contributions, and wants to imitate Wuhou to follow Gaozu. The man smiled and instigated the feather fan twice, and looked at Fan Hong with playfulness at the corner of his mouth.

When the man talked about Gaozu, a different color flashed in Liu Bei's eyes, and his fists were clenched, but the corners of his mouth hung a smile that he didn't dare to be, which was very hypocritical, but he could see Liu Bei's ambition!

"Ahem, I don't dare to compare myself with my ancestors, Mr. Hailong said with a smile." Fan Hong's face was flushed when he was seen by the man, and he was embarrassed to defend himself.

Hailong refers to the nature of this ink guest, the ink guest surname Kong Mingyun, the word water jade, the number Hailong, is the nephew of Yuzhou Don't drive Kong Yu, twenty years old, this time to Yangzhou, it can also be said to be a coincidence, because of the plague in Yuzhou, Kong Yu was extremely anxious, I heard that Liu Bei in the Central Plains to show kindness, the relief of the plague to the people, so let that Kong Yun come to test it, to see if Liu Bei has the idea of going to Yuzhou, well, the intention is obvious, is to recruit Liu Bei for his own use, after all, there are famous celebrities, It is very popular with these officials.

It's a pity that Kong Yu miscalculated, after Kong Yun found Liu Bei, not only did he not express his intention to Liu Bei, but Liu Bei traveled the world together, and introduced Liu Bei to know a lot of gate lords and celebrities from all over the world, just like a dog-headed military advisor.

Why is Kong Yun like this? In fact, it is very simple, because Kong Yun saw Liu Bei's ambition and recognized Liu Bei's advantages, in the troubled times, what is the most important? Fame! With Kong Yunzhi's ability to follow Kong Yun's achievements, at most he is just a behind-the-scenes minister, Kong Yun has great ambitions, how can he be willing to do this?

Seeing Liu Bei, Kong Yun was like Napoleon discovering the New World, and the ambition of glorifying the ancestors in his heart was suddenly aroused. Dancing with the best of the world?

Naturally, Liu Bei recognized Kong Yun's ability, and also understood Kong Yun's ambition, if there is no one to ask for people, will Liu Bei, who wants money but no money, refuse? Obviously impossible! The combination of wolf and embarrassment has become the default between the two parties, and in order to make Kong Yun loyal to him, Liu Bei can be said to have spent a lot of effort, and he sticks together with Kong Yun every day, so that outsiders still think that Liu Bei has his back to the mountain.

"What about comparing yourself to Wuhou? Like chaos is imminent today? It is when the heroes rise together, Brother Liu, as a member of the Han family, should take it as his responsibility to support the Han family! We are all confidant people, and we have thought about it for a long time, and we cherish each other, so why should we separate? Just follow Brother Liu to make a vigorous career! Kong Yun stood up and walked back and forth around the stone table, waving the feather fan in his hand, with a generous and passionate look.

"Okay, since Brother Shui Yu has said so, my Xiang Fei has nothing to talk nonsense about, and now I Xiang Fei swears that I am willing to follow Brother Liu to make contributions, gallop the world, and repeat the prestige of my ancestors! If you betray Brother Liu in the future, you should be so stone!! Xiang Fei stood up, his hand clenched into a fist, and after he finished speaking, he suddenly punched a thousand-pound boulder on the side of the road.
