"And your previous actions may have revealed flaws, although the little emperor in the palace is young, but don't forget what queen is beside him, if you want to enter the city tonight, even if I don't stop you, but tomorrow these five thousand Praetorian Guards will trap all your ten thousand soldiers and horses in Jianye, even if the peasant army is huge, may it be compared with the forbidden army?"

Cheng Liu had a trace of anger on his face, the current situation was developing too fast, but he knew that if these 10,000 soldiers and horses were put into the city, he would be to blame.

The 50,000 soldiers and horses guarding the pass in Luoyang may be directly mobilized, and the palace will directly force Jianye to hand over the military power, then the big chess game he played before will be wasted, and the soldiers and horses he has recruited with great effort will die in front of him before he can kill the enemy.

He never wanted to see this kind of scene in his life, so he had to stop Ma Yuanyi from entering the city tonight.

At this time, the atmosphere was much more solemn, Dian Wei and Wei Yan were on both sides of Cheng Liu, which invisibly gave him great confidence, and at the same time gave Ma Yuanyi a great psychological burden.

After being silent for a long time, Ma Yuanyi finally asked: "Then dare to ask Your Excellency, if the Yellow Turban Army revolts, will you stop it, or will you take advantage of the situation?" ”

This is a question that Cheng Liu has been pondering since he first came to this era, and in fact he has wavered halfway, but he has never been so determined as he is today.

"Nature is a matter of course. But this Jianye, it is impossible to let it out, I have saved 10,000 soldiers and horses outside the city, you can go directly to Luoyang, as the internal response in Zhangjiao City, I will not expose you. ”

Ma Yuanyi glanced at Cheng Liu, saw that his eyes were firm, and he also knew that this soldier and horse would not be able to enter the city.

But he is cunning and cunning, and at this time he also wants to drag the stream into the water together.

"In this case, Ma is not embarrassed, so he will go to Luoyang, but the curfew in Luoyang has begun, and I can't enter the city this time, I don't know ......"

Cheng Liu sneered: "I'll send someone to send you in." ”

Cheng Liu knew how dangerous this person was, and as Zhang Jiao's most trusted insider, if something happened to him, Zhang Jiao would probably be hit hard.

After arranging for Ma Yuanyi to enter Luoyang, Cheng Liu couldn't sleep all night, and at this time, there was only one month left before March 5, and he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

The next day, Sweet Potato woke up Cheng Liu anxiously, and after going to the council room, Cheng Liu found that almost everyone had arrived today.

Sweet potato said: "After entering the city last night, Ma Yuanyi was settled, but this morning, I suddenly received a secret report that someone from Zhang Jiao's followers told him, and Ma Yuanyi was taken to the palace. ”

This news made Cheng Liu suddenly realize that the loopholes in Zhang Jiao's plan seemed to be slowly emerging.

"Is the informer's name Tang Zhou?"

Sweet Potato nodded, and then added: "From the news from the palace, there is a secret report that Ma Yuanyi is about to march in the streets at three o'clock in the afternoon and execute the torture of car splitting. ”

Cheng Liu took a deep breath and tried to keep quiet.

At this time, Jianye did not have any movement, indicating that Ma Yuanyi did not expose himself, but the situation of all this has gradually taken a sharp turn for the worse.

According to historical records, Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban Army was also exposed by Tang Zhou a month before the uprising, and Ma Yuanyi, who was the inner response of the Beijing Division, was split by the street car, but although it was compared with historical facts, it was a little abrupt from the actual situation.

For example, was the 5,000 cavalry who entered Luoyang last night a forbidden army? The timeline is almost completely unified with Ma Yuanyi, which seems a little strange, and it makes people a little puzzled, does Queen He have such a big spirit?

At this time, Sweet Potato wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued: "After the curfew was lifted last night, Luoyang City has been completely closed, and all believers related to Taiping Road in the city have been thoroughly investigated, and once discovered, they will be immediately executed, and ...... And ......"

Cheng Liu asked directly: "Go on!" ”

"And Luoyang City issued an edict, ordering Jizhou to go all out to hunt down Zhang Jiao!"

Cheng Liu slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity.

"It seems that Zhang Jiao has no way to continue waiting, contact Yu Youkui and ask her to come to see me immediately, the sooner the better!"

Sweet potato will go to do it immediately, Xu Shu and Tian Feng glanced at each other at this time, and asked almost in unison: "Are we going to Luoyang?" ”

Cheng Liu shook his head: "You don't have to take this risk and risk going in, Ma Yuanyi can't survive, there are more than a thousand Taiping Dao believers in the entire Luoyang City, and it is inevitable that the whole city will be bloody in the past two days." ”

Wei Yan took a step forward at this time, took out the general's order and said: "This is the 10,000 soldiers and horses stationed outside Ma Yuanyi City, we are ......"

"Put it in the city, and say to the outside world that Jianye City Defense has been transferred to the Jingshi Pass, and in order to avoid the fall of the Son of Heaven at the foot of the Son of Heaven, these 10,000 soldiers and horses will be stationed in Jianye first."

Wei Yan immediately took the order and left, and the remaining Tian Feng and Xu Shu glanced at each other and asked, "What about us?" ”

"You are the strategists in our army, and every move in the future will be discussed by you with me, in addition, it is important to pay special attention to the fact that the previous transfer of troops in our Danyang County seems to have been known, but the people in the palace have not yet passed the word, so we don't know what the specific situation is, we have to find a way to get by."

Xu Shu replied: "Lord, if you want to blame it, we still have a lot of reasons to prevaricate, for example, we have long known that the people of Luoyang are agitated, so we have already made plans and dispatched all the soldiers and horses, which can be regarded as paving the way for the subsequent uprising." ”

Tian Feng echoed: "At this time, the believers in the palace who want to deal with Taiping Dao should not make a move against us, according to the opinion of the subordinates, it is better to leave it alone first, and wait for Zhang Jiao to revolt before making plans?" ”

Cheng Liu also thought so before, but after thinking about it, Zhang Jiao should have officially revolted at this time, but the news has not yet arrived.

At noon, the message from Jizhou was finally delivered.

Zhang Jiao called himself General Tiangong, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were called General Digong and General Rengong respectively, and they started to raise troops from the north of Jizhou, and the fugitive refugees who had been left behind before were used as the mass base, all the way to Luoyang City.

In order to strengthen their own momentum and show their determination to overthrow the Han family, the Taiping Taoist believers burned down the official mansion, killed officials and scholars, and in the process of traveling from Jizhou to Xuzhou and Yuzhou, they wantonly collected wealth, burned, killed and looted, and did all kinds of evil.

But in the hearts of these displaced people, these are the things of the Taiping Dao, which originally belonged to the poor people, and the government was just accumulated after bullying people and looting the people's money, and at this time, it was just a retrieval of the righteousness and brightness of the destiny of heaven.

After Cheng Liu knew these news, he had already sensed that the Yellow Turban Uprising had moved towards the torrent of history, but it was probably even more cruel than what was recorded in the history books back then.
