Time is like flowing water, and when the hidden dragon is dormant, many major events have happened in the world. In 181 A.D., Han Yue and the overseers engaged in Bian Yunju became a famous scholar in Xizhou, and his father and Cao Ying were filial piety in the same year. In his early years, Han Yue entered Beijing with a plan to persuade the general He Jin to kill the eunuchs, but He Jin did not accept it, and Han Yue was afraid that he would be harmed by the eunuchs and seek to return.

Who knew that on the road, Liangzhou Li Wenhou, Beigong Yu and others rebelled, killed Jincheng Taishou Chen Yi, kidnapped Han Yue and Bian Yun, and elected them as leaders because the two were quite famous. Han Yue also became a wanted criminal of the imperial court from then on, and was eventually called a "thief" by the imperial court, and was hunted down by the imperial court for a bounty. Therefore, Han Yue could only change the "covenant" to "Sui" and finally had to raise the banner of anti-Han and become the leader of the rebel army.

Later, Han Sui teamed up with Li Wenhou, Beigong Yu and others to kill the eunuchs as the slogan, led the rebel army to conquer the counties of Xizhou, gathered 100,000 people, the world was stirred, and successively defeated the famous generals Gai Xun and Huangfu Song, and then because of the unstable reason of the meteorite army falling from the sky, Zhang Wen was broken, and he was defeated in Yuzhong. The following year, Han Sui killed Beigong Yu, Li Wenhou, and Bian Zhang, and annexed all their armies, gathering 100,000 people again, waiting for an opportunity.

In the first year of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty (184 AD), due to the unstable political situation of the imperial court, the dictatorship of foreign relatives, and the dictatorship of eunuchs, the war against Xiqiang lasted for decades, with huge costs and heavy military service. In addition, the phenomenon of land annexation is serious, the people are not able to make a living, and the people are even more feudal and superstitious, and they all have religious beliefs. Julu people Zhang Jiao got the Nanhua old immortal book "Taiping Technique", in the name of sending Fu Shui, recruited hundreds of thousands of disciples, and saw that the Emperor Ling was mediocre, the year was in a great drought, and the people were poor, so he summoned the people to wipe their foreheads with yellow scarves, and the believers said on March 5 that "the sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the year is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious" as the slogan to raise troops against the Han.

"Cangtian" refers to the Eastern Han Dynasty, and "Huangtian" refers to the Taiping Road, and 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 all the believers tie the yellow scarf on their heads as a mark, symbolizing the Eastern Han Dynasty to replace [***]. On the one hand, Zhang Jiao sent people to write the word "Jiazi" on the door of the government office as a recognition, and on the other hand, he sent Ma Yuanyi to Jingzhou and Yangzhou to gather tens of thousands of people to Yecheng to prepare, and went to Luoyang several times to collude with the eunuchs Fengxu and Xu Feng, wanting to cooperate with the inside and the outside.

However, a month before the uprising, a disciple of Zhang Jiao named Tang Zhou told the whistle and confessed to Ma Yuanyi, the inner director of the Beijing Division. Ma Yuanyi was torn apart, and the officers and soldiers vigorously arrested and killed the believers who believed in the Taiping Dao, involving more than 1,000 people, and ordered Jizhou to hunt down Zhang Jiao. Due to the suddenness of the incident, Zhang Jiao could only be forced to attack in February one month earlier, which is known as the Yellow Turban Rebellion or the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Because the insurgents wore yellow turbans on their heads, they were called "yellow turban thieves" or "moth thieves".

Zhang Jiao called himself "General Tiangong", and Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were "General Digong" and "General Rengong" respectively. The three of them started an incident in the northern Jizhou area, and the believers were divided into 36 parties, with more than 10,000 people in Dafang and 6,000 or 7,000 people in Xiaofang, and each side set up a Qu Shuai, which was commanded by the three brothers Zhang Jiao. Within a month, there were wars in 28 counties across the country, including Qing, You, Hebei, Jing, Yang, Yan, and Yuzhou, and the Yellow Turban Army was like a broken bamboo, and the prefectures and counties were lost, and the officials fled, shaking Luoyang.

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty saw that Taiping Dao was so powerful, and he was busy in March Wushen said that He Jin was the general, and led the five battalions of Yulin to be stationed in the capital pavilion, and ordered weapons on the whole to guard the Beijing division; In addition, from the Hangu Pass, Otani, Guangcheng, Yique, Yuyuan, Revolving Gate, Mengjin, Kopingjin and other Kyoto Passes, set up the garrison of the Commandery; He ordered all prefectures and counties to prepare for battle, train soldiers, count weapons, and gather rebels. Liu Bei was funded by businessmen Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang at this time to organize the rebel army to join the school captain Zou Jing to ask for meritorious service to the thief, and Cao Ying and Sun Jian also began to show their edge at this time.

At the same time, the imperial court also sent the world's famous generals Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Lu Zhi and other elite soldiers to suppress, the army was like a bamboo, and with the cooperation of the local armed forces of the major families, the Yellow Turban Army was once broken.

Although the Yellow Turban Army was huge, it was a rabble after all, almost all of them were composed of ordinary people who could not afford to eat, armed with simple weapons such as wooden sticks, hoes, and hunting forks, and wore linen clothes, coarse cloth, and even poor clothing, and lacked military talents, and military discipline was lax. With the tactics of crowds, they have to plunder every city they capture, completely forgetting that they are also poor people, so it is strange that such an army is undefeated!

Although Liangzhou was not affected by the Yellow Turbans, Dong Zhuo and tens of thousands of elite troops under his command who were guarding the border were transferred away to suppress the Yellow Turban Army. Han Sui naturally would not let go of such a good opportunity, 100,000 male soldiers entered the siege of Longxi, and received a response from Li Xiangru, the Taishou of Longxi, Huang Yan and others. Han Ting ordered Liangzhou Assassin Shi Geng to lead the troops of the six counties to attack Han Sui, and Ma Teng was the vanguard of the front, in charge of 20,000 soldiers and horses.

As a result, before the two armies fought, a sudden rebellion broke out on the way to the march, and Geng was killed by his subordinates, leaving the 80,000-strong army leaderless. Ma Teng also hated the behavior of the ten permanent servants for selling officials and taking bribes, coupled with his reluctance to confront his righteous brother Han Sui, so he killed the other driver, gathered the officials and troops, and gathered more than 60,000 people to join Han Sui's army. The two brothers united with the Haoqiang Kingdom of Hanyang, and easily captured the land of many counties in Liangzhou, and it can be said that more than half of the entire Liangzhou was under the control of the two.

Subsequently, Han Sui, Ma Teng and the kingdom as the leader, the army attacked Chen Cang without falling, and when the soldiers were tired and withdrew from the west, they were chased by the Yellow Turban and Huang Fu Song, and beheaded more than 10,000 people. Afterwards, Han Sui killed the kingdom and kidnapped Yan Zhong, a famous scholar from Hanyang, as the leader. In order to win over Yan Zhong, Han Sui even promised his eldest daughter Han Qiong to Yan Zhong's son Yan Xing's wife.

But the good times didn't last long, and it didn't take long for there to be internal strife within the coalition army, most of Ma Teng's soldiers were local officials in Liangzhou, while Han Sui's army was composed of Qiang soldiers, bandits, bandits and other Hu Lu, burning and killing silver and plundering all kinds of evil. Liangzhou borders Xianbei, Xiongnu, Qiang, and Di, and has been in constant war for decades, especially these nomadic people have to invade the border almost every year to rob money, food, and women, which can be described as a heinous crime.

Although the people of Liangzhou are fierce and martial, in the end there are still Han people, and the soldiers and generals of the Ma Army will naturally not have a good face against these Hulu, especially the young general Pang De under Ma Teng. As soon as the army escaped from Huangfu Song's pursuit, the two armies had several skirmishes, killing and wounding hundreds of people.

Although Ma Teng remembered the relationship with Han Sui, he really looked down on Han Sui's elite soldiers in his heart, so he could only tolerate it while conniving, turning a blind eye, as long as the two armies did not go to war in private, he would let it go.

Han Sui also said bitterly, these Hu Lu were rebels, the sergeants were scattered, and their likes and dislikes became surnames, and he killed Beigong Boyu, Li Wenbo and others, and most of the soldiers under him were quite dissatisfied, if they were too pressed, I am afraid that they would immediately cause a mutiny and cause themselves to be burned.

The two were sworn brothers, and after a night of secret discussions, they decided to divide the troops. Han Sui led 80,000 Qiang troops with Hou Xuan, Cheng Yin, Li Kan, Zhang Heng, Liang Xing, Yang Qiu and other generals to Zhangye County in the northwest of Liangzhou; Ma Teng led Pang De, Yang Yuan, Han Jun, Ma Zhi and other generals to lead 70,000 elite soldiers from Liangzhou to occupy Wuwei County and other places in the northeast of Xiliang, and demarcated his own sphere of influence. In addition, the four counties of Wudu, Hanyang, Anding, and Beidi, which were guarded by Dong Zhuo's generals Niu Fu, Zhang Ji, Li Dao, and Guo Yan in the southeast, Liangzhou was divided into three, and the sphere of influence was intertwined, and it was peaceful for a while.

It was not until 186 that the Yellow Turban Rebellion was temporarily suppressed, and the Han court was no longer able to levy it after years of military disasters. Although the Yellow Turban Dao was suppressed, the prestige of the Han family suffered a serious blow, and small rebellions continued to occur in various places, resulting in many scattered forces, such as Black Mountain, Baibo, Huanglong, Zuoxiao, Niujiao, Feiyan, Baijue, Yang Feng, Yu Poison, etc., with thousands of small forces, and even hundreds of thousands of powerful people, such as Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Thieves and Yang Feng's White Wave Thieves.

And Emperor Yinjun Han Ling did not learn from the pain and make amends, but listened to the words of the ten permanent servants, thinking that the yellow scarf had been removed, the world was peaceful, and continued to enjoy himself, which can be described as full of tricks. He lived deep in the inner palace, and in order to satisfy his selfish desires, he let the palace ladies and concubines all wear open crotch pants, so that he could be lucky at any time.

During this period, due to the decentralization of military power from the central government to the local level, although the Yellow Turban Rebellion could not spread quickly to the whole country, and the Yellow Turban Road was severely attacked. However, the military and political powers of the officials of various prefectures and counties were concentrated, and they took the opportunity of the crusade against the Yellow Turban Road to recruit a large number of troops.

However, the imperial court was empty of military power, unable to control the local situation at all, and the imperial power was shaky. It can be said that the Yellow Turban Road opened the prelude to the warlord melee in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and planted a remote cause for the separation of the Three Kingdoms.

In the end, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, under the advice of the general He Jin, wantonly rewarded the princes who had broken the yellow scarf in various places to buy people's hearts, and then slowly tried to figure it out. Dong Zhuo took this opportunity to bribe the Ten Standing Attendants, but he was repeatedly defeated by the Yellow Turban Thieves, but he was also sealed with a history of Xiliang Thorn.

Although Dong Zhuo, who was originally in Xiliang, lost in the crusade against the Yellow Turban, and even his hometown was taken up by Ma Teng and Han Sui, he did not gain nothing, at least there were more than 200,000 Xiliang elite soldiers under his command. Moreover, it occupied Chang'an, Hedong and other rich places, and its power did not decrease but increased, and it can be said that it became the largest warlord in the world at that time.

Dong Zhuo has self-respect, his eyes are empty, and his ambitions are constantly growing, and he has just been appointed as the assassin of Xiliang to wave his army to defeat Ma Teng and Han Sui, vowing to recover the lost territory. As a result, he was persuaded by his adviser and son-in-law Li Ru, who thought that Xiliang had been in a panic for many years, the population had been greatly reduced, and the land was desolate, which was really a chicken rib! And Ma Teng and Han Sui's righteousness is still there, if the crusade at this time, the two are bound to join forces to resist together, even if they can win, they will suffer heavy losses, it is better to slowly figure it out, first recruit an and then separate, the generals under the command of the two are already at odds, and there will be a war in a few years, so that they can take advantage of the fisherman and send troops to destroy it in one fell swoop.

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed, he didn't want to use his hard-earned family wealth with Ma Teng, Han Sui fought, so he followed Li Ru's suggestion, went to Zhao'an, named Ma Teng as the Taishou of Xiliang, in charge of political affairs, and named Han Sui as the general of Zhengxi, in charge of the military, trying to separate the relationship between the two and make them kill each other.

After receiving the edict of canonization, the two were overjoyed, and soon after Ma Tengli established the Xiliang Taishou Mansion, Han Sui set up the West General's Mansion, and the two big warlords divided the land and ruled, trained the soldiers and horses, and they were at peace for a while.
