One hundred and sixty-one unleashed ambitions
In any case, after the battle on Dong Zhuo's side ended, the Jizhou Yellow Turban Army was completely wiped out.
In the end, they failed to fight Jizhou, which was quite powerful at the beginning, but soon there was infighting, and after the infighting, they became corrupt and degenerate at the speed of light, and sat back and watched the loss of strategic opportunities.
One or two didn't make much of a situation, but the amount of their own family members and money swelled rapidly.
Wang Meng has more than 50 female dependents.
Yan promoted more than 30 female dependents.
Gao Zheng is considered to be incorruptible, and there are only eighteen female dependents.
To tell the truth, in such a short period of time, they have not made any achievements in military and political affairs, but have competed one by one on the issue of women, as if they were engaged in an arms race.
They really can't even open their horns.
Therefore, after the Han army, which fully represented the interests of the ruling class and the upper class of society, arrived in Jizhou, their demise without the leadership of the fierce men from heaven and the failure to successfully represent the interests of any social class was already an irreversible fact.
At this time, it was the ninth day of the fifth month of the seventh year of Guanghe, and it was only four months before the Jizhou Yellow Turban Army uprising.
In just four months, they collapsed.
After Lu Zhi took Julu County, he opened the coffins of the three Zhang Jiao brothers, and then sent their bodies to Luoyang in a packing car with the still living people of the Zhang family, and left them to be disposed of by Liu Hong, the son of heaven.
In Liu Bei's view, the victory of the Han army in the northern battlefield actually means the final victory of the war.
The Yellow Turban Army did not fight Jizhou, and failed to cause any impact in Youzhou and Bingzhou, and the impact on Jizhou was quite large, but it was not as big as Zhang Jiao's state of being alive, he heard that the Yellow Turban Army in many counties and counties was a very small existence, and the local government alone successfully extinguished them.
From Liu Bei's own senses, the main impact of this Yellow Turban Army on Jizhou is the surrounding counties centered on Julu County, which is about half of Jizhou.
The uprising in the core area has failed, so can those people on the Central Plains Divided Battlefield still hold on?
Is it true that the Central Han Army under the command of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun will not be able to make contributions?
Of course not.
While the northern battlefield was victorious, the southern and eastern battlefields also underwent changes in favor of the Eastern Han Empire.
The Yellow Turban Army, which was hit first by the Luoyang Imperial Court and lost its soul leader before the uprising began, took its congenital disadvantage to the extreme, and after gaining some advantages in the early stage, it immediately fell into a decline and entered the point where everyone shouted and beaten.
Except for a few Yellow Turban troops who were able to maintain discipline against innocents, most of the Yellow Turbans were robbers and bandits armed with steel knives, for whom officials, landlords and ordinary people were the same, all of them were their "supplies".
As a result, the government wanted to exterminate them, the landlords wanted to confront them, and the common people wanted to flee from them, and they soon fell into astonishing isolation, and no one but themselves could help them.
The sharpness quickly wore off.
Whether it is Zhang Mancheng, who was able to fight with Zhu Jun, or Bu Si, who can make Huangfu Song deflated, they are all powerless.
Zhu Jun quickly regained his strength and fought a field battle with Zhang Mancheng in Nanyang County, and the two sides were tied, but Zhang Mancheng lost too many elites, and his follow-up was powerless, so he had to retreat into Wancheng and defend it, and could no longer fight with Zhu Jun.
In just the first war, Zhang Man's achievements were completely lost, which shows the shallowness of his heritage.
Subsequently, Zhu Jun surrounded Wancheng and divided a part of his troops to attack the small forces of the Yellow Turban Army around him, and won a complete victory.
Huangfu Song, for his part, launched another attack on Bu Si in mid-April.
Because of the previous failure, Huangfu Song seemed to be under a lot of pressure from Lu Qiang's side, so this time he was much more careful, strictly following what he had learned, and carefully step by step.
Bu Si didn't catch any more opportunities and made a lot of mistakes, but was seized by Huangfu Song, and launched a strong attack when Bu Si and others crossed the river, breaking the main force of Bu Si's department in one fell swoop.
After Dongjun was pacified, Huangfu Song continued to advance eastward, and wiped out several rebellious armies under the banner of the Yellow Turban Army in the area of Taishan County, and won a great victory.
He then also submitted a statement to the imperial court, claiming that the local people were encouraged by the imperial court to spontaneously organize men to fight against the Yellow Turban Army.
A group of Taishou and county orders are very successful, guarding important county towns and county seats, and some local heroes and strong people also have some credits, while protecting their own industries, they contain and eliminate many Yellow Turban Army, and have made contributions to the imperial court to extinguish the Yellow Turban Army, which is worthy of reward.
It can be said that the central Han army brought by Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song played a role in eliminating the main force of the Yellow Turban Army, and in addition to the large-scale main battlefields such as Nanyang and Dongjun, many branch battlefields were solved by local people themselves.
Some county guards and county commanders with a small number of county soldiers and other armed forces defended the city and drove away the Yellow Turban Army, and some local landlords and heroes enclosed land for their own industry, and the Yellow Turban Army could not get supplies, and ran into walls everywhere, and was exhausted in the endless war.
The smart people saw that the Yellow Turban Army had no future, and soon broke away from the team and ran away to survive, and the stupid people stubbornly guarded the banner of "The Sky is Dead, the Yellow Sky Should Stand" that no one cared about, and sadly persevered to the last breath of life.
At the end of the day, it was the Luoyang Imperial Court that reacted in a timely manner.
Although this response could no longer avoid the outbreak of the war, it succeeded in controlling the scale of the uprising.
The Yellow Turban Army failed to achieve a shocking record at the beginning, and the Eastern Han Empire was not defeated at the first time.
What the world sees is the state machinery of the Eastern Han Empire, which is rotten but still functioning, and the Central Han Army, which seems to be weak and powerless, but is still fierce.
As a result, the local centrifugal forces that were about to move did not dare to further unleash their ambitions.
Therefore, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it failed to provoke further local responses in most areas, and this Taiping Road Incident did not shake the rule of the Eastern Han Empire in a real sense.
The rule of the old empire, though difficult, continued, and nothing substantially changed.
While Lu Zhi took the lead in sending good news to the imperial court, the situation in the entire Central Plains was also changing in favor of the Luoyang court, and the Yellow Turban Army was continuing to fail and decline.
Lu Zhi does not know the situation in the southern and eastern theaters for the time being.
While sending people to report the good news on his side to the imperial court, he also began to rectify the battlefield, and prepared to give his own suggestions on some aftermath matters after the war, and gave some of his views on how to restore production in Jizhou, which was damaged by the war.
After the end of the counterinsurgency war in Jiujiang County and Lujiang County, Lu Zhi also gave such advice, and he did so, he had practical experience, and the suggestions he put forward were all from experience.
However, he did not expect that these suggestions he put forward would bring a great inspiration to the modern literary school.
In Luoyang City, the war of words between the modern literary school and the ancient literary school is still going on, Yuan Kui and Yang Ci are still trying to get rid of each other's [Lu Shang Shushi], at this juncture, in mid-May, Lu Zhi's good news came.
Liu Hong learned that the Han Army of the North Road led by Lu Zhi and Dong Zhuo had won a decisive victory in Hebei, the three main forces of the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou had all been destroyed, and the remaining small fish and shrimp were also being swept away, and the war in Hebei had been declared victorious.
Liu Hong was very happy, and immediately made the matter public, and began to prepare to discuss the reward for Lu Zhi and Dong Zhuo and other main forces participating in the war.
After this news was widely disseminated, there was a great reaction from both the modern literary school and the ancient literary school.
