At the end of August of the fifth year of Guanghe, Zhang Jiao, the great sage and good teacher of Taiping Dao, who beat the former general Yuan Shao to a mess, died suddenly, and the revolutionary situation of the Yellow Turban Army in full swing took a sharp turn, first several disciples were dissatisfied with the general Zhang Bao, competing with each other for the title of divine envoy, everyone was not able to do with each other, with the angry departure of Zhang Ming, the Yellow Turban general led the troops to break away one after another, the former general Yuan Shao seized the opportunity to suddenly attack, and the Yellow Turban Army that lost its unified command was defeated, and the general Zhang Bao was killed, More than 80,000 yellow turbans were blocked by Yuan Shao on the south bank of Fushui.

In the face of Yuan Shao's step-by-step pressing and merciless killing, the Yellow Turban Army, which had suffered a major blow, suddenly woke up, and they knew that these powerful people who had been robbed of their land and wealth would not let them go, and even if they surrendered, it would be a dead end. These more than 80,000 soldiers fought bloody battles, killed more than 30,000 in the battle, and the remaining nearly 50,000 people ran out of food and went to the water to die, resolutely refusing to surrender.

The resoluteness of these 50,000 people woke up the remaining Yellow Turban soldiers, and they reunited under the command of the Rengong general Zhang Liang and launched an unyielding struggle against Yuan Shao. Although Yuan Shao's morale was strong, after all, he fought hard and suffered many casualties, and in the face of the Yellow Turban Army, which was several times his size, he fought very hard, and was on the verge of danger several times.

At this time, Huangfu Song, who was transferred to the Qingxu area, got the news of Zhang Jiao's death, and had no time to ask Song Feng, the general of the chariot cavalry, to lead his troops to cross the river, quickly break into the Qinghe River, and swept through the central part of Jizhou in just half a month. Yuan Shao and Huangfu Song arrived, followed by Cao Cāo and also rushed to Guangzong, and the three of them joined forces to surround Guangzong City. After several fierce battles, Zhang Liang saw that the situation was tense, so he accepted the kingdom's suggestion to lead his troops out of the siege, and when he broke out of the siege, Zhang Liang was hit by a stray arrow, the Yellow Turban army collapsed again, and the kingdom led the remnants of the Yellow Turbans with less than 10,000 people to flee into Montenegro.

Yuan Shao beheaded Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, and beheaded the dead Zhang Jiao. The three heads were sent to Luoyang together to ask for merit.

After the Yellow Turban in Jizhou was leveled, the Qingxu states scattered and fled into the deep mountains and rivers in various places, and the Yellow Turban Uprising, which lasted for two years, came to an end, and Shandong finally returned to peace.

The yellow scarf is flat. But the court was undercurrent, and in response to the post-war meritorious deeds, the Yuan family and the Son of Heaven launched a new round of games. No one expected that the first unlucky person was Huangfu Song, who had made great contributions, he was recalled to Luoyang by an edict, accused of acting without authorization, delaying the military aircraft, and was dismissed from the post of former general and demoted to a commoner.

Meanwhile. Liu Xiu, a Wei general who had been busy with Tuntian and horse raising in Liangzhou, received an urgent edict, and the Son of Heaven ordered him to immediately return to Luoyang with his imperial concubine Liu Xie, for the reason that he would report on his work.

After Liu Xiu received the edict, he knew that the debriefing was just a disguise, he had just come back from Luoyang at the beginning of the year, and in a year, in addition to Tuntian, he was raising horses. I haven't fought a single battle, what can I do? Even if it is to report the work situation, there is no need for him to make a trip in person, it is enough to send Shi Xunyu to make a trip. The Son of Heaven summoned him back to Beijing, in fact, for the death of Zhang Jiao, Zhang Jiao's accidental death led to the rapid collapse of the Yellow Turban, and the cause of eradicating Jizhou Haoqiang was abandoned halfway, but Yuan Shao and Jizhou Haoqiang who supported him made great contributions, and the Son of Heaven was furious. But he couldn't vent, and suspected that Liu Xiu sent someone to kill Zhang Jiao, so he urgently summoned him back to Beijing.

This news was naturally sent by Jian Shuo on a fast horse.

Liu Xiu felt that he was more wronged than Dou E, but he also knew that it was not unreasonable for the Son of Heaven to suspect him, he had already heard that Zhang Jiao was stabbed while talking to Tang Yingzi, and Tang Yingzi disappeared subsequently, plus he had threatened Zhang Ming for Tang Yingzi's affairs before. It is only natural that the Son of Heaven suspects that it was his hand.

Liu Xiu had a headache, he knew how high the Son of Heaven expected Zhang Jiao, in order to eradicate those heroes, he did not hesitate to let the world be in chaos, and now Zhang Jiao is in full swing, and the revolutionary situation is very good, but he was suddenly "killed", which not only led to the bankruptcy of the plan that the Son of Heaven had painstakingly managed, but also made the Yuan family, who was deliberately weakened, make a great contribution, and it is no wonder that the Son of Heaven is not annoyed. This time, he asked him to bring the imperial concubine back to Luoyang, and it is estimated that the Son of Heaven intends to leave the imperial concubine in Luoyang and no longer let him raise him, which also means that once he does not deal with it properly and cannot clear himself, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Liu Xiu also wondered, who killed Zhang Jiao and robbed Tang Yingzi? Compared with the previous one, he paid more attention to the latter one, Tang Yingzi had been missing for two years, and it was easy to get news of him, but he suddenly disappeared, and by the way, he was pushed to a point where it was difficult to understand. Who is this man? Zhang Jiao is not an ordinary person, not only is he skilled in Taoism and strong in martial arts, but he also has a large number of believers and disciples around him, who can kill him?

He himself sometimes felt that he was the most suspicious in terms of motive and ability, and the Son of Heaven suspected him for good reason. The problem is that he really didn't do it, and he didn't instruct anyone to do it, he had a motive and didn't act, and this is an unjust case.

Liu Xiu met Huangfu Song, who had just been dismissed, in Tongguan, and the two sat on the ground on the side of the road for a short exchange. Liu Xiu already knew the reason for Huang Fu Song's dismissal, but he couldn't tell Huang Fu Song the truth behind it, so he had to pretend not to know.

Although Huang Fu Song's eyes were a little lost, his face was not a little unhappy, and he smiled gently, just as modest as he had when he first met Liu Xiu in Northern Xinjiang. "It's nothing, I found some letters exchanged between the eunuch and Zhang Jiao, and sent them to the capital, but His Majesty was deceived by the eunuch, thinking that I acted without authorization, was proud of my achievements, and did not listen to the command of the general of the chariot cavalry, so I was dismissed." He drank a glass of wine and laughed softly: "The pure one is self-purifying, I think Your Majesty will understand sooner or later, and then he will naturally return my innocence." General, of course Duan Gong has also suffered such an injustice, didn't he figure it out later? ”

Liu Xiu raised his eyelids, glanced at Huangfu Song, and said in his heart, Are you reminding me? Duan Cheng did encounter this kind of thing, Yan Xi four years, Duan Cheng, who was the captain of the Qiang school at the time, and Guo Hong, the assassin of Liangzhou, crusaded against the rebels together, Guo Hong wanted to fight for the first credit, and deliberately did not let Duan Cheng march, as a result, Qiang Hu Yi rebelled, Guo Hong put all the responsibility on Duan Cheng, resulting in Duan Cheng going to prison and losing as the left colonel, so the officials of Liangzhou rushed to Luoyang to complain for Duan Cheng, and the court summoned Duan Cheng to inquire about the situation, but Duan Cheng only apologized, and did not say a word about Guo Hong's responsibility, and won a good reputation as an elder.

Huang Fu Song mentioned this matter to him at this time, I am afraid that he himself is second, and it is likely that he heard some rumors, and specially came to advise him not to be impulsive and not to try to defend his grievances.

Liu Xiu was grateful for his kindness, but he didn't intend to gain the good reputation of this elder. Because this reputation is fake, Duan Cheng has a good reputation as an elder, but he still can't be accepted by the scholars later, to put it mildly, the reason why he didn't sue Guo Hong in front of the Son of Heaven. is because he can't sue Guo Hong at all, so he can only sell favors.

And he Liu Xiu is different, if he doesn't argue clearly this time, he will be demoted to a concubine like Huangfu Song, and several years of business will be in vain. He can't be as indifferent as Huangfu Song.

"Righteousness and truthfulness, connivance with evil, is harm to good." Liu Xiu raised his glass and said: "I can't repay my grievances with virtue, I can only repay my grievances with straightforwardness, which should be mine." Don't rob anyone, I don't want what I shouldn't have. Whether it is honor or crime, there are no exceptions. ”

Huangfu Song sighed silently and didn't say anything more. He worked with Cao Cāo during this time, and he also heard some things that Liu Xiu did in Luoyang, and he broke into Cao Jie's Mansion alone for a woman. Preparing to kill, Liu Xiu is naturally not a person who is willing to give in easily.

"Then I wish the general a smooth journey."

"Yizhen also went home to rest for a few days, and when I returned to Guanzhong, I will go to settle down and have a good time with Yizhen."

Huangfu Song drank it all, smiled slightly, and said goodbye.

……

Five days later, Liu Xiu rushed to Luoyang, and at the White Horse Temple outside Luoyang City, he stopped. Call the emperor's concubine Liu Xie to him. Liu Xie was a little unhappy about returning to Beijing this time, because Liu He, who had been playing with him, could not follow, although Yan Xing, Hao Zhao and others accompanied him, but he was still a little lonely.

"Do you remember your Uncle Tianzi?"

"Of course I do." Liu Xie looked at Liu Xiu puzzled: "What's wrong with them?" He thought about it, and suddenly said, "Could it be that Uncle Tianzi wants to scold Ah Weng?" ”

Liu Xiu smiled bitterly, and reached out to straighten out a strand of hair on Liu Xie's cheeks: "Ah Xie, today is the last time you will call me Ah Weng." ”

"Why?" Liu Xie was startled, and his little face turned a little white: "Ah Weng doesn't want me?" ”

"It's not that I don't want you, it's because I'm not your Aung in the first place." Liu Xiu smiled, "You are the son of the Son of Heaven." You are the royal concubine born to the Empress. ”

Liu Xie was taken aback, and looked at Liu Xiu with two dark and bright eyes, his eyes were full of questions and surprise, but he didn't say a word. Liu Xiu was very satisfied, explained the ins and outs, and finally pinched Liu Xie's shoulder and said, "Your father handed you over to me in order for you to grow into a real man." I can proudly say today that I have done the best of the tasks that your father has given me. Ah Xie, I believe that you ......"

Liu Xiu's mood was a little complicated for a while, I don't know how to say it, this child was cultivated by him, but at the same time, he was plotting to seize his world, isn't this a left-handed and right-handed fight. He stabilized his mind: "I will be with you, you will become a good prince, and after you succeed to the throne in the future, you will also be a saint tomorrow." ”

With tears in his eyes, Liu Xie leaned over, snuggled in Liu Xiu's arms, and sobbed: "But Ah Weng, I will miss you, I will miss the princess and aunt, Aunt Chu, and the golden-haired Aunt Xue, I will miss Ah and my sister, I will miss Brother Ah Niu, and I will miss all of you." ”

"Silly boy, you miss us, just let someone say it, and we can go to see you." Liu Xiu patted Liu Xie's back and comforted: "It's not like we'll never see each other again, we can see each other whenever we want." ”

"Then can I still go horseback riding in Yanzhi Mountain?" Liu Xie raised his little face, "I like horseback riding so much, I really like riding horses with Aunt Xue, and I also promised Aunt Xue that when Ah Niu grows up, I will take him hunting together." ”

Liu Xiu was also a little sad, whether it was the prince or the son of heaven, how could he do whatever he wanted. But at this moment, he couldn't bear to hit Liu Xie, so he had to nod and say, "Yes, yes." You now have a more important task, though. ”

"Aweng, you say, I will guarantee that it will be completed." Liu Xie straightened his small chest as usual and looked at Liu Xiu excitedly.

"Put on your armor, ride your horse, go to the palace to meet your father, the emperor and the queen mother, and then show them what you have learned from Mr. Fu."

"That'...... What about you? ”

"I'll wait here." Liu Xiu stroked Liu Xie's head: "If you behave well, Ah Weng will be fine, if you don't behave well, Ah Weng will be in trouble." You know? ”

Liu Xie blinked, raised his arm, wiped away his tears vigorously, and said loudly: "Guarantee to complete the task." "To be continued.
