In 186 A.D., three years of Hanzhongping, in the middle of January, the siege of Chengdu of the three road army in the right cavalry general Zhu Jun under the command of the general launched a general attack, the Yellow Turban Army in the city because of the lack of food and grass, the resistance is minimal, it took only two days and two nights, the outer city of Chengdu fell down, only a splendid palace is located in the center of Chengdu, more than 100,000 Yellow Turban soldiers were killed, more than 20,000 people fled into the palace, and the prisoners were as many as 30,000.
In 186 A.D., in the third year of Hanzhongping, on January 20, under the siege of Zhu Jun's sleepless army, the palace of the puppet Jin Kingdom fell, and the prime minister Huang Long killed himself in public, and the palace of the Dajin Dynasty was on fire, and Zhang Wan, the queen of the puppet Jin Kingdom, was burned to death in the palace.
In 186 A.D., in the third year of Hanzhongping, January 25, in order to set an example, Zhu Jun, the general of the right chariot cavalry, ordered the pit to kill the prisoners, and more than 50,000 Yellow Turban soldiers were killed in the sinkhole outside the city of Chengdu, and the Dajin Dynasty officially declared the destruction of the country, and only three years passed since Zhang Jiao founded the country in Chang'an.
In 186 A.D., three years of Hanzhongping, at the end of January, Zhu Jun's class returned to the dynasty in triumph, leaving the dilapidated Yizhou to be handed over to the reorganized Yizhou government to control, Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Du also withdrew their troops and retreated to Yinan, the whole Yibei is now full of holes, there is no one in ten, the country of abundance that was prosperous in the past, was completely reduced to a slum in the eyes of the world.
From 184 A.D., the beginning of February of the sixth year of Guanghe to the end of January of the third year of Han Zhongping, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out for more than two years, and the original fragile Han Dynasty was completely devastated
In 186 A.D., in the third year of Hanzhongping, at the end of February, Luoyang, Beigong "Your Majesty, great joy, great joy" Zhang Rang rushed into the bedroom of Emperor Han Ling with a beaming face, and shouted loudly to Emperor Han Ling, who was lying on the dragon couch and dying.
"Oh? Is it Father? Barely opening his eyes, Emperor Han Ling waved his hand at Zhang Rang a little tiredly and said, an ugly smile hung on his lifeless face.
"Your Majesty, your body" Zhang Rang's face froze, and he stepped forward a little unnaturally, kneeling in front of the dragon couch, looking at the dim eyes of Emperor Han Ling, his heart was indescribably uncomfortable.
The eunuch is in power, it is based on the emperor's mediocrity, if it was before, in the hearts of Zhang Rang and Jian Shuo, Emperor Han Ling is indeed a big waste, but since Emperor Han Ling revealed a little arrangement for Liu Tai, Zhang Rang and Jian Shuo have never thought about it like this, and they have done it properly for Emperor Han Ling's orders, and they dare not have the slightest perfunctory.
"Ahem, it's okay, my body is very good, let's say, what's the joy?" Emperor Han Ling smiled, looking at Zhang Rang's worried look, he couldn't help but feel comforted in his heart, the reason why the emperor trusted the eunuch was because the eunuch was the emperor's truest confidant.
"Your Majesty, it's the good news from Yizhou that the pseudo-Jin Kingdom has been destroyed" Zhang Rang looked at Emperor Ling's tired demeanor, and his words were a little choked, Emperor Ling regarded the eunuch as a confidant, why didn't the eunuch treat Emperor Ling as the monarch's father, without Emperor Ling of Han, there would be no place for them
"What??" Emperor Han Ling couldn't help but exclaim, his eyes were very wide, a little incredible, the Jin Kingdom, which had almost destroyed the Han Dynasty, was really destroyed?
"Let's talk about it again, is the Jin Kingdom really destroyed?" Emperor Han Ling's face turned red, and he looked much better all of a sudden, but is this a return to the light, or is it??
"Your Majesty is gone, really destroyed." Zhang Rang had a tear in the corner of his eyes, supported Emperor Han Ling, and said with a sob: "The war report just came from the south, Huang Long, the prime minister of the pseudo-Jin Kingdom, hanged himself in the palace, and the body is being transported to Luoyang, and the queen Zhang Wan is in the palace [***], not even a little ash is left, Your Majesty, the sky of the Han Dynasty is open, and there is no more war."
"Good, good, good" said three good in a row, Emperor Han Ling's mouth hung a satisfied smile, during this period of time, Emperor Han Lingdi got the news that this was assassinated, that was assassinated, as if there were terrifying killers everywhere, in this kind of venue, can Emperor Han Ling's body be fine?
"Father, make a decree for me, I want to amnesty the world, hahaha" Emperor Han Ling reluctantly sat up from the dragon couch, patted Zhang Rang's shoulder, and said with a laugh, It looks like his illness has completely recovered, Chong Xi? Is there such a god?
"Yes, yes, yes, the old slave is going to prepare" Zhang Rang saw that Emperor Han Ling's expression improved, and he was immediately overjoyed, he didn't care about anything, as long as Emperor Han Ling's body could continue to improve, it would be the best thing for Zhang Rang.
In 186 AD, the third year of Han Zhongping, at the beginning of March, Emperor Ling of Han issued an order to amnesty the world, requiring all the major state capitals and kings of various countries to open warehouses to release grain to relieve the people, Emperor Ling of Han who had been mediocre for decades, was able to do such a good thing, which was indeed impressive, and at the same time, the news of the complete collapse of the once glorious Zhang dynasty also spread to the major states and counties, some people celebrated, some people were sad, and at the same time, many people felt sad for the Zhang lineage.
In 186 A.D., in the third year of Hanzhongping, in mid-March, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, who had recovered slightly, summoned the Xiongnu envoys who had been under house arrest in the post house for a year, and the envoys were imprisoned for up to a year, and under the long-term abuse, their minds were a little confused, and they made a big fuss in the Luoyang court, which made Emperor Ling furious, and ordered that if there were Huns entering the Han border from now on, there would be no forgiveness for killing! And Emperor Ling also sent someone to give Liu Tai a handwritten letter, hoping that Liu Tai would pacify the Great Huns who were eyeing the Great Huns in Danhan Mountain as soon as possible.
In 186 A.D., the first year of Hanzhongping, in mid-April, the Xiongnu envoys finally returned to Danhan Mountain, and after returning to Danhan Mountain, the envoys cried to the Xiongnu Rouge Queen about the abuse they suffered in Luoyang, and asked the Rouge Queen to avenge it.
The envoy is the face of the country, the Huns who have just recovered the Han Mountain can not afford to lose this face, the rouge queen was also very annoyed after hearing the envoy's statement, under the instigation of a number of princes and nobles, the rouge queen ordered, more than 400,000 soldiers and horses from the Western Regions came to the Hanshan Division, ready to launch an attack on the northern Xinjiang led by the Xiongnu, at the same time, the rouge queen also sent a letter to the Qianghu, Wuheng and Goguryeo three tribes, hoping that the three tribes can clamp down on the northeast and the state soldiers and horses in the north at the same time.
The three tribes have no good impression of the northern Xinjiang, especially the means of inciting the people to actively prepare for war after Liu Tai returned to the northern Xinjiang, which made the three tribes panic and very worried, which day the spearhead of the northern Xinjiang will be aimed at themselves.
The huge coalition army is more terrifying than the last Xianbei-dominated southern expedition, Liu Tai, who got the news, in order to be able to block the war from the Great Wall, also began to mobilize various troops and horses, hundreds of thousands of troops have taken action, stationed in various fortresses and dangerous places, and Huacheng has also gathered the cavalry troops of thirteen corps in northern Xinjiang, and the war is about to break out!
In 186 A.D., the third year of Hanzhongping, at the beginning of May, the Jiangxia Taishou Zhao Ci, who should have rebelled in the spring and February of the third year, rebelled, plundered the state and county along the way, and the soldiers and horses were as many as 100,000 people, and soon hit the territory of Nanyang, and the Nanyang Taishou Qin Jie, who had time to withdraw into Wancheng, killed the county seat of Ping, and the army went until Wancheng, the dragons of Nanyang were leaderless, and no one dared to resist the county soldiers along the road.
In 186 A.D., in the third year of Han Zhongping, in mid-May, Emperor Ling of Han who got the news was furious, and ordered the dismissal of Zhang Yan, the captain of the class, and Zhang Wen, who had been returning to the dynasty for more than a month, was the captain, and Zhao Zhong was the general of the chariot and cavalry, and a eunuch was a general. At the same time, Emperor Ling sent an edict to Ding Yuan, the pastor of Jingzhou in Xiangyang, asking Ding Yuan to immediately lead the army to quell Zhao Ci's rebellion.
In 186 AD, in the third year of Hanzhongping, at the beginning of June, Ding Yuan, who got the imperial edict, immediately dispatched troops, with the flying general Lu Bu as the forward, and Ding Yuan, who was the pastor of Jingzhou, personally as the commander of the Chinese army, commanded 100,000 Jingzhou soldiers to crusade against Zhao Ci, the former Jiangxia Taishou who was in trouble with Nanyang.
In the same month, Ding Yuan's army was led by Lu Bu and the wolf cavalry of Bingzhou charged into battle, Zhao Ci's army was defeated for thousands of miles, and it could not form the slightest combat power at all, and finally Zhao Ci was killed by Lu Bu before the formation, all the chaotic troops were scattered, and Zhao Ci, who was less than two months old in Nanyang, was pacified.
It must be mentioned that when the Jingzhou army broke through Zhao Ci's camp, dozens of letters were found from it, and the content of these letters actually mentioned one person at the same time, that is, Zhao Zhong, the eunuch in charge of the army!! Surprised, shocked, Ding Yuan did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent someone to send the letter to the imperial court, because it was related to Zhao Zhong, the killers who intercepted and killed the messenger along the road continued, but fortunately, the letter was safely delivered to Emperor Ling.
Seeing the content of the letter, Emperor Ling of Han was furious, Zhao Zhong was the eunuch favored by Emperor Ling of Han, although Zhao Zhong did not directly participate in the rebellion, but Zhao Ci was Zhao Zhong's cousin, this is an indisputable fact, Emperor Ling, who was furious, immediately dismissed Zhao Zhong as a general and imprisoned Zhao Zhong in the palace.
In 186 A.D., Han Guanghe three years, autumn and August, there are thousands of birds on Huailing, sorrowful, fighting with each other, thousands of dead finches fall all over Huailing, the local government was shocked, and the matter was played on Emperor Ling of Han, Emperor Ling learned that he was uneasy, asked Taishi Ling, Taishi Ling is a powerful person of the Han family, there is nothing to hide, the finch battle is associated with the future crown prince to seize the heir, and warned Emperor Ling, hoping that Emperor Ling will soon say that the prince will stabilize the dynasty, Emperor Ling does not care, and reprimands Taishi Ling for his fallacies to confuse the public, and reprimands the thirty boards.
In 186 A.D., the third year of Hanzhongping, at the beginning of September, the 400,000 troops of the Western Regions entered Danhan Mountain, accompanied by nearly a million slaves from the Western Regions, these slaves were logistics soldiers who escorted grain and grass goods, and after arriving at Danhan Mountain, Queen Rouge only gave the slaves of the Western Regions a month's grain, and wanted to send these slaves back to the Western Regions.
Slaves are also people, these slaves traveled thousands of miles to transport grain and grass to Danhan Mountain, and there were hundreds of thousands of dead and wounded slaves along the way, not to mention making cattle and horses for the Huns, and now sending slaves back to the Western Regions, they were only given a month's rations, didn't this let them go to death? In the vast prairie, if there is not enough food, there is no difference from death.
It was not only the slave soldiers who began to rebel, even if they were recruited. The soldiers and horses of the countries in the Western Regions can't stand it anymore, because these slaves are originally from the Western Regions, but they are just enslaved because the Huns defeated them.
Before the war began, the situation in Danhan Mountain began to be tense, and when Queen Rouge received the news that the slave soldiers had not retreated and there were signs of rebellion, she was still stunned, and then immediately became furious, and scolded these slaves to go back to the Western Regions immediately, and not to defile the Holy Land of Danhan Mountain.
The slaves are crazy, as the lord of a country, the Queen of Rouge is so determined, is it possible to get Danhan Mountain, do you really think that the Great Huns are invincible in the world? But after madness, they were awake, because they also thought of the terrifying combat power of the Huns, and in desperation, the slaves could only grit their teeth and slowly retreat, but the direction of retreat was not the Western Regions, but the Northern Frontier!
