Chapter Forty-Six: Liu Yao Sets Out
As soon as the uprising began, the masses responded one after another, and in the seven major states, whether it was local tyrants, refugees, or even city guards and officials, they joined the Yellow Turban Army or spread propaganda for believers. The officials forced the people to rebel, and the people had to rebel. Tens of thousands of hungry refugees, holding high the banner of righteousness, took risks and joined the uprising of the Yellow Turban Army, and the scale of the Yellow Turbans exceeded one million for a time.
Among them, those religious wealthy businessmen even sent food and clothing, and the Yellow Turban Army had food and clothing, and the development speed was extremely fast. The towns they faced were even more invincible, and those guards who had lived a stable life in the past, which were the opponents of these Yellow Turban Army who had just revolted and were in high morale, had not yet been attacked, and fled in all directions as soon as they saw them. Some even opened the city gates to greet them. As soon as the Yellow Turban Army entered the city, it burned down the official mansion, and the corrupt officials and those big families usually do all the bad things, and when they heard the arrival of the Yellow Turban Army, they were frightened, like a lost dog, and fled.
As for those who run slowly, they can only be killed, and after killing those corrupt officials and bad deeds, the great families will distribute their property to the people. It is precisely because of this that the people have done their best to the great sages and good teachers. In less than ten days, countless cities in the seven major states were breached, and hundreds of local officials were killed. The fighting spread quickly. All at once the world shook.
In the Luoyang Imperial Palace, at this time, hundreds of civil and military officials were standing on both sides, and in the court, everyone was panicked. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty urgently summoned hundreds of civil and military officials to discuss the matter of the Yellow Turban. The current Liu Hong doesn't want to die with the family, so this yellow scarf must be suppressed.
Liu Hong squinted his eyes and looked at the civil and military officials below, and said casually, "Ladies and gentlemen, this Yellow Turban Uprising is huge, what can you do?" ”
Everyone was silent for a while, this is a million yellow scarves, where can they solve it by those who only know how to be content with enjoyment and fight for power and profit.
Looking at the civil and military officials who didn't speak, Liu Hong was furious, "Aren't any of you able to stand up?" So what am I going to do with you shit? ”
"Your Majesty, the Yellow Turban is powerful, and the imperial court has few soldiers, because the edict ordered the scholars of each state to recruit troops by themselves and guard the Yellow Turban thieves." When Emperor Ling saw it, it turned out to be the general He Jin, although he was a little disgusted with He Jin, but he still agreed with He Jin's point of view, "Okay, good, just according to the general's words." ”
"Your Majesty, the imperial court still needs to send a few generals to conquer the Yellow Turban thieves." He Jin said again.
Liu Hong nodded and said, "Quasi-play." I don't know which Aiqing is willing to share my worries. ”
"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to go." It was two people who stood up.
Liu Hong glanced at it and said with satisfaction, "With General Zhu and General Huangfu, I can rest assured." ”
"Your Majesty, the minister can also quell the chaos if he lifts one person." Ma Riyan came out of the column and said.
"Say, which Aiqing?"
"Lu Zhi, Lu Zigan." Ma Riyan said.
Liu Hong was stunned, and said to Lu Zhi on the side, "Well, Zigan rebelled against Changsha for me the year before last, and now he is willing to share his worries for me?" ”
"I want to go." Lu Zhi said.
"Your Majesty, the old minister will also raise one person, and he will be able to quell the rebellion." This is Cai Yong also stood up and said.
As soon as Liu Hong saw Cai Yong, how could he not know who it was, "Uncle is talking about Liu Yaowu'er?"
"Exactly!!" Cai Yong nodded yes.
"Okay, the emperor is brave, he only defeated Karasuma a few years ago, and this time there is not the slightest yellow turban thief in the territory of Youzhou under his jurisdiction, which shows his ability. With him, he will definitely be able to pacify the yellow scarf. Liu Hong said confidently.
"No, never, your majesty." It was a familiar and annoying voice that came into Liu Hong's ears. Liu Hong didn't have to think about it to know that it was Yuan Feng, an old guy.
Liu Hong stared at him with a dark face, did not speak, and quietly stared at his words.
"Your Majesty, although His Royal Highness the Great Prince is brave, but after all, he is far away in Youzhou, and it will take a month to come and go, I'm afraid it's too late." Yuan Feng said. The news of Liu Yao's hostility towards the family was spread by him, so he had to try his best to cause Liu Yao some trouble no matter what
"Oh." Liu Hong laughed angrily, "Then according to Yuan Aiqing's meaning, you have a way to pacify the entire Yellow Turban within another month, then this task will be handed over to Yuan Aiqing, you can go." ”
"This, I ,......" Yuan Feng was suddenly asked by Liu Hong, if he had this ability, he would have sent someone to snatch this credit. It's just his two sons, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao. How can you have the ability to take on such a heavy responsibility?
Liu Hong snorted coldly, "If you can't help it, get out of the way, don't think I don't know your careful thoughts." ”
Seeing this, Liu Hong didn't look at Yuan Feng again, and immediately ordered He Jin to be the general, and led the five battalions of Yulin to stay in Duting, order weapons, and 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 to resist the thief army.
On the other hand, he sent elite troops to suppress the chaos in various places, and Lu Zhiling, the deputy general, led the five sergeants of the Northern Army to take charge of the northern front and deal with Zhang Jiao's main force; Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun each led an army, controlling more than 40,000 people from the five colonels, the knights of the three rivers and the newly recruited elite warriors, to defeat the Yellow Turban Army in the Yingchuan area.
Finally, an edict was issued, ordering Liu Yao, the general of the Northern University of Dahan Town, to send troops from Youzhou to quell the rebellion against the Yellow Turbans.
Ten days later, Luoyang's edict finally came to Youzhou.
"Lord, there's news from Luoyang." Frustrated, he anxiously ran into Liu Yao's study. handed the urgent report in his hand to Liu Yao.
Liu Yao took it over and quickly toured the following contents, and the next moment he laughed, "Gonghe, pass my order, and raise the account to have a meeting." “
It didn't take long for all of Liu Yao's men to arrive. "Ladies and gentlemen, there is news from the imperial court, ordering me to set off immediately to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion, this is a good opportunity for us to accumulate war merits and absorb the population." Liu Yao said with a laugh.
"Hahaha, great, I've been a bird since the beginning of the day. Lord, you must not leave me this time. Zhang Fei was the first to laugh.
"You are a fool, I won't forget you." Liu Yao scolded with a smile.
"Lord Qiqi, I wonder how many people you want to bring with you to quell the chaos this time?" Tian Feng asked.
Liu Yao thought for a moment and said, "The army going out is a matter of labor and money, and we have finally lived a more comfortable life in Youzhou in the past few years, and I don't like to add any more burdens." So this time I only brought 5,000 assault battalions and 5,000 trapped camps, as well as 1,000 guards under my command. ”
"This, the Lord Guild will not be too little." Frustrated Professor said with some concern.
Liu Yao laughed and said, "Hahaha, it's okay, the men and horses of these two battalions under my command are the real elite, plus those equipment, it is definitely one enemy and ten people, and the yellow scarves are just a rabble, which is too far worse than the regular army." This army of 10,000 men is enough to destroy them. ”
Hearing this, he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, thinking about the terrifying equipment trapped in the camp's assault camp, and couldn't help but begin to mourn in silence for those yellow turbans.
Liu Yao saw that no one was objecting, so he said, "Since this is the case, this time I will personally lead the army to the expedition, and Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, and Gao Shun will go with me. Tian Feng is a military advisor and gives me advice. ”
"It's all at the command of the Lord." Everyone said in unison.
"After I left, the affairs of Youzhou were handled by the friend and the father, and I asked the prince to bother with you." Liu Yao said.
"Please rest assured, the lord will definitely take good care of Youzhou." Fu Zhu said firmly.
