In 184 AD, in the second year of Han Guanghe, in the first month of spring, in addition to Jincheng, the rebellion of the Xiliang Qiang tribe was initially pacified, and Beigong Boyu and Xian Lingqiang were suppressed in Jincheng and could not move, and it seemed that they would be destroyed at any time.

At this time, the imperial court issued an edict, requiring the 80,000 Beidi County Iron Cavalry and 100,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry reorganized by the Huangfu Song Commander to go south to pacify the puppet Jin State in Yizhou, and as for the Xiliang War, it was temporarily handed over to Dong Zhuo to be responsible.

After Huangfu Song got the edict, he didn't dare to slack off, and took out 100,000 Xiliang iron horsemen from Dong Zhuo's army, and then brought Dong Zhuo's fierce generals Li Dao and Guo Yan, prepared three months' military rations, and led the 180,000 army directly into Yangping Pass in Hanzhong.

As Liu Tai expected, Zhang Lu and his father Zhang Heng did not do any resistance, when the army of Huangfu Song was still hundreds of miles away from Yangping Pass, he ordered people to submit the letter of surrender quickly, the letter was written by Zhang Lu, Zhang Heng dictated, and scolded Zhang Jiao during his reign, how to exploit Hanzhong, how to force Zhang Heng and his son, Zhang Heng and his son in order to protect the safety of the people in Hanzhong, they could only cooperate with Zhang Jiaoxu and the snake Yunyun in the last paragraph of the book, Zhang Lu also added a sentence, saying that the Zhang family father and son were loyal to the Han, How to suffer in order to hold the territory of the Han Dynasty and so on

This letter was sent to Huangfu Song for the first time, although it was said that Huangfu Song was the commander of the expedition to the south, but he did not dare to be the master, after all, Zhang Heng and his son had the mark of anti-thief, and Zhang Heng and his son were also since the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the only force that had surrendered before it was carried out, and the matter was big, so after the army arrived outside Yangguan Ping, Huangfu Song ordered to be stationed in situ and send people to Luoyang urgently.

There is no suspense, now Yizhou is the heart of Emperor Ling and the hundred officials of the dynasty, at this juncture, there was actually a person who took the initiative to surrender, and even accompanied the entire Hanzhong Basin, which is a very good beginning, there is no reason to refuse, Emperor Ling received the letter of surrender and discussed with the hundred officials, and issued an order on the spot to pardon Zhang Heng and his son for all crimes, and appointed Zhang Heng as the Hanzhong Taishou, Zhang Lu as the Yangping guard

It is a happy thing to receive Hanzhong peacefully, Huangfu Song has been spared the pain of a large number of troops, Zhang Heng and his son do not have to be afraid all day long, and they have become the nominal supreme governor of Hanzhong, what is more happy than that? After receiving the edict from the imperial court, Zhang Heng immediately ordered the opening and closing of the Huangfu Song army into Yangping Pass.

After hundreds of thousands of troops entered Hanzhong, Huangfu Song sent 5,000 people to take over all the defense of Hanzhong, and asked Zhang Heng and Zhang Lu to disband those messy peasant armies, Zhang Heng has nothing to be unhappy about, these peasant troops remain in their own hands, and they have to pay a lot of military rations every day, and now Huangfu Song's more than 100,000 troops have entered Yangguanping, even if Zhang Heng has any dissatisfaction, it is too late.

Huang Fu Song was very satisfied with the disbandment of the peasant army in various places without the slightest complaint about Zhang Heng, and he did not have the heart to embarrass Zhang Heng.

Mengxia Pass is a moat, cut off the connection between the Hanzhong Basin and Xichuan, very dangerous, there is a person when the pass is not open, if it is a strong attack, not to mention whether it can be beaten in, just a loss, it is enough for Huangfu Song to drink a pot, when Huangfu Song 180,000 opened to Mengxia Pass, a little difficult, this Xiongguan, how to capture the Han army?

In less than two months, Huangfu Song fought under Mengxia Pass, although he did not fight, but his exploits were already very brilliant, but at this time, when Huangfu Song was blocked in Mengxia Pass, the war in Xiliang changed dramatically! Dong Zhuo is defeated! The defeat was very miserable, more than 100,000 troops were beaten by Beigong Boyu and Xian Lingqiang, half of Xiliang was occupied by Beigong Boyu and Han Sui and others, the situation in Xiliang took a sharp turn in an instant, and Dong Zhuo also became a lost dog at this time, fleeing east and west with tens of thousands of Xiliang iron horsemen.

Why is this happening? It's a bit complicated, but it's actually very easy to understand, because there is a rare plague outbreak in the Sanfu area, this plague covers the Sanfu area, and spreads to Xiliang, not counting the Sanfu area, the most severely affected Xiliang is Jincheng County, and it just so happens that Dong Zhuo's army is in the outer city of Jincheng County, as we all know, war is the best source of infection for the plague, and the biggest reason for the outbreak of plague in the Sanfu area should be attributed to the reason for Zhangjiao cholera Sanfu, although after every war, Liu Tai will send someone to cremate the body, But after all, the Sanfu area is so big, it is impossible to see all of them, so after the corpse is exposed to the sun, there is naturally a chance of a plague outbreak.

This probability is very small, but Dong Zhuo's life is not good, maybe God sees Dong Zhuo, who will harm the Han world in the future, in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, seeing that Dong Zhuo has not fought any real defeat, so he arranged some tribulations for Dong Zhuo.

Under the ravages of the plague, Dong Zhuo's remaining 100,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry had no combat power at all, Xiliang's commerce was underdeveloped, not to mention medical skills, in the absence of timely isolation measures, the plague spread very quickly, and more than half of the 100,000 troops were infected in just half a month, and most of them were tortured to death by the disease on the spot.

Seeing the tragic situation outside the city, Beigong Boyu and Han Sui didn't know whether to be happy or cry, because in this era, there is no good way to defend against the plague, and the only way is not to have physical contact with the infected plague.

In fact, in the Central Plains, because of Liu Tai's deliberate propaganda, it is not that there is no way to treat the plague, but the Xiliang people have always been complacent, rarely interacting with the Kwantung people, even if there are Xiliang people going to the Central Plains, they will not deliberately inquire about the treatment of the plague, after all, in Xiliang, the probability of the plague is very small, Dong Zhuo, as a big warlord, although he has noticed, but he has not really cared, now that the plague has broken out in Xiliang, where to find a cure for a while?

The plague is getting more and more terrifying, Dong Zhuo can't support it anymore, if he stays in the army any longer, Dong Zhuo is very worried, will he also be infected? Ruthless, Dong Zhuo ordered all the soldiers infected with the plague to be pushed into the fire and burned to death, and even in order to fight the rebels in Jincheng as much as possible, Dong Zhuo also ordered to use trebuchets to throw the corpses infected with the plague into Jincheng.

Tragedy, Dong Zhuojun tragedy, Han Sui and others are also tragic, but Dong Zhuo's method is really a bit vicious, the reaction in the army is very great, and there are even many deserters, the situation is getting worse and worse, there will be no fighting soldiers, soldiers have no fighting spirit, the soldiers stay in the barracks every day anxiously waiting for death, even Dong Zhuo in the name of cruelty can not control it.

Seeing the right time, in order to be able to get ahead, Han Sui discussed with Beigong Boyu, and in the dead of night, the black lights blinded, with the soldiers and horses in the golden city, poured out to attack Dong Zhuo's department outside the city, although Dong Zhuo had Li Ru, a military advisor, to give advice in the barracks, but he didn't expect that Beigong Boyu and Han Sui would suddenly go out of the city to attack the camp.

In Dong Zhuo's department, the army has no fighting heart, Dong Zhuo's fate is very tragic, tens of thousands of troops were beaten by Han Sui and Beigong Boyu and fled in embarrassment, when Dong Zhuo fled into Anding County with the remnants of the defeated army, with the city on time, the remaining soldiers and horses have been less than 40,000 people, the plague, coupled with the fight with the Qiang people, lost Dong Zhuo nearly 60,000 Xiliang Jing cavalry, after getting accurate news, it is reported that Dong Zhuo was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot

When the defeated documents arrived in Luoyang, Emperor Ling was so frightened that he sat on the dragon couch on the spot, because the edict delivered to Emperor Ling was not only defeated in Xiliang, but also Emperor Ling's most respected uncle, Liu Ju, the evil king of Lang, also died violently in his palace half a month ago, and the tragedy is that just a few days ago, the power center of the Han Dynasty, Nangong also caught fire, and most of the palace was burned down, almost burned to Emperor Ling's bedroom.

Emperor Ling, who was already sad because of the death of the evil king of Lang and the burning of Nangong, was speechless by the news of Dong Zhuo's defeat, and sat on the dragon couch in his bedroom, stupid and in a daze, the officials looked at me one by one, I looked at you, and none of them dared to say anything to comfort.

In the hearts of hundreds of officials, they are all speculating that now that the Han has just settled down, is it possible that the world will be in chaos again? The current Han is no better than a year ago, Luoyang's treasury is completely empty, and Emperor Ling has also tasted the pain of having no food.

However, it is useless to sit stupidly there, after many discussions with hundreds of officials, Emperor Ling issued an edict to increase taxes again, ten dollars per acre, and because of the fire in Nangong and moved anger with Situ Yuan Kui, dismissed Situ Yuan Kui's official position, Situ's position was filled by the court lieutenant Cui Lie, and the left chariot cavalry general Huangfu Song immediately went to Xiliang to pacify the Qiang rebellion, as for Dong Zhuo's dismissal of Liangzhou pastor, temporarily led the position of Hedong Taishou under the command of Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

In 185 AD, in the second year of Hanzhongping, at the beginning of April, when the Han world was in a mess, the envoy of the Xiongnu logged in from the port of Qingzhou, and arrived in Luoyang City all the way, the irritable Emperor Han Ling did not think about discussing anything with the Xiongnu, in the opinion of Emperor Han Ling, Liu Tai naturally had Liu Tai in the north to deal with, there was no need to be blind, so the Xiongnu envoy arrived in Luoyang and was thrown directly to the post house, and did not see a face.

In 185 A.D., in the second year of Hanzhongping, in the middle of April, a strong wind blew in Luoyang, and the sand and dust covered the Luoyang Imperial Palace. In the same month, the heavy rain after the strong wind, the heavy rain carried the big hail of the fist smashed in the city of Luoyang, the people complained, according to preliminary statistics, in the city of Luoyang, because of the hail damage to the house, and caused by the refugees as many as tens of thousands, Luoyang Treasury, again increased the burden, Emperor Ling of Han was messed up by the mess of the book, and because of the vacancy of the treasury, anxious and uncertain, resulting in the dragon body disease, finally lying down in the palace.

In 185 A.D., in the second year of Hanzhongping, in May, Taiwei Deng Sheng wrote that the treasury was vacant, and the war between Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song was extremely unfavorable. Seeing Deng Sheng's letter, Emperor Ling was furious on the spot, issued an edict to dismiss Deng Sheng from his post as lieutenant, and ordered that anyone who dared to withdraw from the army and negotiate peace would be killed! At the same time, according to the recommendation of the general He Jin, Zhang Yan, a native of Hanoi, was promoted to a lieutenant by Emperor Ling, and the governor of the world's military affairs.

Today's He Jin is not the Henan Yin who was sick and powerless, but the most prominent foreign company in the dynasty, the general who controlled the military power of the Han Dynasty, but during this time, He Jin was a little depressed, because there was news in the palace that Emperor Yanling intended to form a new army and divide He Jin's military power.

Of course, even if it is to be formed, it is not now, because the Han Dynasty really can't afford to spend on the military, unless the war between Yizhou and Xiliang is calmed, but the problem is that Emperor Ling's idea has been confirmed, as a general who controls the military power of the world, how can he not be depressed, because of this matter, Emperor Ling has not discussed with He Jin at all, it seems that Emperor Ling's decision to divide the military power is indeed true.

Just when He Jin was depressed, He Jin's staff Xu Yu gave He Jin a way, what way? Let Liu Tai come forward and prevent Emperor Ling from forming a new army, why do you want to find Liu Tai? As we all know, if Emperor Ling has a jealousy, it should be headed by Liu Tai, and the formation of new soldiers must be dealt with by Liu Tai, and Liu Tai happens to be He Jin's son-in-law, He Jin wants to be in charge of the army alone, and he should ask Liu Tai for help, after all, it is a family, and helping He Jin is not equivalent to helping Liu Tai himself?

Whenever he thinks that Liu Tai is his son-in-law, He Jin often wakes up with a smile in his dreams, because no matter whether Liu Tai will seek to usurp the throne, He Jin's position is stable, and even in private, He Jin really hopes that Liu Tai can be called the emperor, because Liu Tai is the emperor, then He Jin is the ruler of the country, one of the most prominent figures in the dynasty.

Of course, even if Liu Tai is not the emperor, He Jin's identity is still prominent, because the eldest son of the emperor today is He Jin's nephew Liu Bian, as we all know, Liu Bian's surname is weak and not loved by Emperor Ling, but the problem is that after Liu Tai rises, Liu Bian's position is very consolidated, why? Not counting the identity of the Han clan, Liu Tai is also Liu Wei's cousin-in-law, take a whole body, in order to stabilize Liu Tai, does Emperor Ling dare to abolish Chang Liyu? And as long as Liu Bian's status is determined, the one who gets the greatest benefit is He Jin, because as long as Liu Argue is the emperor, the power of the Han Dynasty will be in the hands of He Jin. Can you feel uncomfortable?
