Chapter 117 The East Wind Blows the War Drums
With the order of Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty, Luoyang City suddenly fell into the chaos of chickens flying and dogs jumping. He Jin led the Imperial Forest Army to arrest the Taiping disciples all over the city.
Ma Yuanyi has now become a frightened bird, he originally planned to leave Luoyang after getting the news, but he didn't expect that Emperor Han Ling, who has always been unresponsive, could be so swift today.
This thunderous blow of Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty really made him embarrassed, and now he was hiding in a small corner and shivering.
"General, if you find that person, he lives in it."
As soon as Ma Yuanyi finished eating, he heard someone talking outside, he immediately took out a steel knife, and was just about to flee over the wall, when the officers and soldiers broke in.
He saw that there was no hope of escape, and he was determined to live and die. rushed forward with a loud roar, and after some fighting, the officers and soldiers finally arrested Ma Yuanyi at the cost of ten deaths.
The Luoyang Imperial Palace was brightly lit, and Liu Hong, Emperor of Han Ling, was pacing back and forth in the Chongzheng Palace, and the courtiers below were already hungry, and everyone was desperately enduring it.
Looking at that hideous face, who would dare to have an opinion!
That's really going to die.
"Newspaper!! Your Majesty, the general has arrested Ma Yuanyi and arrested 1,200 Taiping disciples, and is now waiting for orders outside the palace. ”
"Haha, that's great! There are so many people who give He Jin a decree to crack Ma Yuanyi, Feng Xu, and Xu Feng, and behead all the others. ”
Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty opened his mouth, and Luoyang City fell into a bloody scene. Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty issued an order for the officials of Jizhou to vigorously pursue Zhang Jiao.
Zhang Jiao got the news that Ma Yuanyi was torn apart by the car and knew that things were not good, and sure enough, it didn't take long for the official document of the imperial court to arrest him.
Zhang Jiao did not sit still, he asked Zhang Liang to lead the army to move towards Guangzong, and at the same time, spread the news in all directions in the starry night, ordering the commanders of the states to immediately launch an uprising.
After receiving the news, Qu Shuai from all over the country immediately took action. Half of the Han Dynasty was in turmoil, and there were as many as four or five hundred thousand rebels wrapped in yellow scarves.
The uprising was so great that the officers and troops in various places were caught off guard and retreated one after another, and many counties fell one after another. Rescue letters flew to Luoyang like snowflakes.
Fifty miles from the south gate of Guangzong, on a vast and boundless land, 100,000 Yellow Turban believers stood quietly and solemnly, the whole scene revealed a solemn atmosphere, the sky was gloomy, and dense thick dark clouds.
Zhang Jiao stood on a high post, he was wearing a yellow robe, holding a talisman staff, the yellow flag behind him was waving, looking at several phalanxes under his feet, and a heroic aura was born in his heart.
He appointed himself 'General of Tiangong', Zhang Bao as 'General of Tiangong', Zhang Liang as 'General of Rengong',
"I, Zhang Jiao, swear to Huang Tian that I will destroy the mediocre and corrupt court and eliminate those families who arbitrarily persecute us. Let the yellow sky descend on the world, there will be no exploitation and oppression, no war, hunger and cold, and everyone can be rich and healthy in a peaceful world! ”
"Peace World! Peaceful World! Peaceful World! ”
……
The 100,000 people raised their weapons and shouted feverishly, and the shouts shook the past and the present, as if the whole heaven and earth were trembling together. Zhang Jiao and the two brothers glanced at each other, and then looked at Guangzong City in the distance.
"The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious! Capture Guangzong and lay the first battle of the Yellow Heaven in the world, brothers, follow me! ”
"Rush, ......."
Zhang Jiao and the others turned over their horses, raised the weapons in their hands, and charged angrily, finally starting the first battle of the Yellow Turban Uprising.
In the south, Bocai led an army of 150,000 to besiege Yingchuan, Zhang Mancheng led an army of 200,000 to besiege Wancheng, and Peng Tuo led an army of 80,000 to fight on the front line of Runan and Chenguo.
At the same time, the Yellow Turban Army led by Bu Ji and others also started an incident in Dongjun. Wherever the Yellow Turban Army went, they destroyed government offices, looted and burned townships, and officials fled.
Because of the drought in the Han Dynasty for many years, the harsh taxes made the people of the world miserable, and the Yellow Turban banner waved, and the people of the world responded, and soon it became a trend that swept the world, and Luoyang was shaken for a while.

Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty looked at the emergency document on the case, and angrily grabbed the sun and moon and the dragon and phoenix inkstone on the side, and fell to the ground fiercely.
He never imagined that the officials and troops in various places would be so vulnerable, and the country would spend so much money every year to raise these wastes.
"Spread my will, let those who have lost the city take it back for me within seven days, otherwise let them wash their necks and wait for death!"
"Your Majesty, by no means! If you really do this, I'm afraid that there will be countless thieves! ”
At this time, a person ran out of the crowd, and he ignored Liu Hong's anger and risked his life to admonish. Many ministers who had a good relationship with him sweated for him.
"Wang Yun, you are a small Zhonglang, where is your part in speaking, and you still want to discuss His Majesty's will, you have a few heads that are enough to cut off."
As soon as Wang Yun's words fell, a yin and yang strange voice came from beside him, and when he turned his head, Yuan Kuiyin stared at him deeply.
"Your Majesty is angry, Lord Wang is loyal to the country, and what he said is also very reasonable."
When Zhang Rang saw Yuan Kui speak, he immediately got into trouble with the other party. When Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty heard this, his anger gradually calmed down.
"Spread my will, and order all states and counties to set up guards in the eight passes on the periphery of Luoyang. He Jin, the general of the order, led the left and right Yulin troops to garrison Duting. He also lifted the ban on the party, pardoned the party members all over the world, and took out the money in the treasury and the horses in the West Garden to give to the soldiers. ”
"Obey the order!"
Zhang Rang bowed in response. Just as he wanted to leave, Liu Hong stopped him again. He demanded that all the ministers and ministers must donate horses and crossbows.
There is also the promotion of the descendants of the family and people with lofty ideals to serve in the army. The clans can recruit their own villagers to fight against the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
If anyone dares to disobey the yang, let him first think about whether he can bear my anger.
After Liu Hong instructed Zhang Rang, he waved his hand and asked him to hurry up and give the order. At the same time, he appointed Lu Zhi as the general of the Pingyan Zhonglang, and led the five colonels of the Northern Army to be in charge of the northern front and deal with Zhang Jiao's main force.
He also ordered Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun to lead an army each, control more than 40,000 people from the Five Schools, the Three Rivers Knights and the newly recruited elite warriors, and crusade against the Yellow Turban Army led by Bocai in the Yingchuan area.
Zhu Jun also recruited Sun Jian from Xiapi as the Sima of the Zuo Army, and brought the young people in the township and recruited various merchant brigades and elite soldiers in Huaishui and Surabaya, a total of more than 1,000 people set off to join Zhu Junjun's army.
Zhang Rang also recommended at the same time that the Zhao Yang Department of the Shangdang participated in this battle. Liu Hong thought for a while, and ordered Zhao Yang to lead the army out of Jingcheng Pass and attack the Yellow Turban Army in Youzhou in the north.
Zhang Rang also deliberately wrote a letter to Zhao Yang, asking him to quell the bandits in Youzhou as soon as possible, rush to Guangzong as soon as possible, and participate in the battle to encircle and suppress Zhang Jiao.
