It is not easy for eunuchs to work hard to earn some "pension money" for themselves, and they don't want to consume too much money in this kind of thing.

And Liu Hong's appetite has no limit, it belongs to Pixiu that only enters but does not leave, and can absorb as much money as possible, and then use it for personal enjoyment, spending money like running water.

Eunuchs can indeed make money, but there is a limit to the speed at which they can make money, but there is no limit to the speed at which Liu Hong spends money.

Liu Bei's interception and timely notification made it possible for him to stop the loss in time, which made him very grateful to Liu Bei.

Thank you very much.

"Your thanks are very valuable, I have made a note of it, and if I am in any danger in the future, it will be up to you."

Liu Bei smiled and patted Zhang Rang's shoulder.

Zhang Rang was stunned, and then laughed too.

"It's good to be an ally with you, it doesn't make me feel like I'm trying to get the skin of a tiger."

"Of course, because we have a common enemy, and the good things of our sincere cooperation obviously outweigh the disadvantages for both of us, and I can't think of any need to betray you, and I can't think of any need for you to betray me."

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "At least before the scholars fall into a complete decline, we can all be allies, allies with a high reputation, allies who can entrust each other with things." ”

Zhang Rang stared at Liu Bei and nodded slowly.

"That's right, ally."

Again, it is much easier to talk about cooperation with eunuchs than with scholars.

The things that the eunuchs wanted were very clear, very vulgar, and very satisfying to them.

The things that the scholars wanted were too abstract and elegant, and Liu Bei didn't understand them, so it was not easy to satisfy them.

Therefore, Liu Bei likes to be allies with eunuchs.

On the fifth day of the first month of November, Liu Hong, who was obsessed with doing pleasant and embarrassing things with the beauties who had just entered the palace, seemed to realize that he had something to do, so he rarely stretched out his head from the silk hole of the beauties and announced that he was going to change the yuan.

The light and this era name came to an end, and the Zhongping era name came.

Maybe it's to please him, Liu Hong is tired of the era name "Guanghe", which brings him too much uncertainty, and is ready to change the era name and live a stable and comfortable life.

But it seems that the era name of Zhongping is not a good year name, not long after it was announced, and December has not yet arrived, Kansai Urgent.

There was a rebellion in Liangzhou.

The scale of the rebellion was not small.

The Qiang people from Beidi County, Anding County, Jincheng County, Longxi County, Caohan, Heguan and other places rebelled one after another, and the land of Liangzhou was full of smoke, and there were people who rebelled and rebelled everywhere.

Unable to endure the endless abuse and bribery demanded by the imperial officials in Liangzhou, many Qiang people did not intend to continue to endure it.

In addition, they learned that the Taiping Rebellion broke out in the Central Plains, so they thought that the Eastern Han Empire was weak, so they decided to rebel and break away from the rule of the Eastern Han Empire.

At the beginning, Liangzhou sent Huang Zhongyi, who had the nature of border troops and mercenaries, to suppress the rebellion of these Qiang people as the main force to quell the rebellion, but they never thought that after these Huang Zhongyi arrived at the front line from Hu, because of military arrears and insufficient rewards, etc., mutiny broke out, killed the Han chief, and united with the local rebellious Qiang people to rebel together.

They elected Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou, the former officers of Huangzhong Yiconghu, as generals to lead them, and attacked the city everywhere, harassed the city, and plundered property, causing a very bad impact.

Huang Zhongyi Conghu is a group of nomadic people who are attached to the Eastern Han Dynasty court and driven by the Eastern Han Dynasty.

After they merged with the rebels, the composition of the rebels became more complex, it can be said that most of them were Qiang, but there were also many miscellaneous people of unknown ethnicity, and some Han heroes from Liangzhou were born to join them, such as Song Yang and Wang Guo, who were local heroes.

In the rebel organization, the Qiang people occupy a dominant position, but because the Han people are strong and the officers are knowledgeable, they are often able to occupy a leading position, which has a certain influence on the rebels.

Of course, the national issue is not a problem at all at this time, whether it is the Qiang rebels or the Han rebels, there is only one purpose - Lao Tzu wants to oppose the Luoyang court!

In the face of this group of nondescript rebels who responded to the banner of the Yellow Turban Army, Liangzhou Assassin Shi Zuochang seemed to have a very method.

According to him, he said that he was raising troops to prepare to fight against these rebels, saying that the rebels were all petty thieves, not worth mentioning at all, and could be destroyed with a snap of a finger, as long as the imperial court could have enough reward, Liangzhou Jian'er would definitely eliminate the rebels for the imperial court.

When you hear this, it will look like a bad thing.

But the Manchu Dynasty obviously did not take this small rebellion in the border land as a thing, before the Yellow Turban Army rebellion in many places was strongly suppressed by the empire, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military Liangzhou will definitely be able to solve this matter with strong confidence.

As a result, this Zuo Chang didn't know if he had eaten too much and stuffed his brain, and actually embezzled tens of millions of money for conscription, so that the Liangzhou government did not have enough troops to contain the rebels.

Shi Gaixun, the magistrate of Hanyang County, who has some prestige in Liangzhou, also thought that Zuo Chang had eaten too much and stuffed his brain, so he dissuaded him from embezzling military funds, but Zuo Chang thought it was an obstacle, so he gave Gai Xun an army and asked him to go to Ayang County in Hanyang County to face the attacking rebels.

Zuo Chang originally thought that Gai Xun would definitely not be able to defeat the rebels, and was ready to wait for him to be defeated and retreat to execute him by military law, but he didn't expect Gai Xun to explode and defend Ayang County with inferior troops.

Although Gai Xun held Ayang County, Zuo Chang did not seize this opportunity to attack the rebels to eliminate the rebels, but remained timid, so that the rebels turned into Jincheng County along the way.

After the rebels moved into Jincheng County, they pretended to surrender and asked to see Bian Yun and Han Yue, well-known officials in the city, saying that they wanted to negotiate with them, and as long as they were willing to come out to meet them, they were willing to surrender.

Bian Yun and Han Yue didn't want to go out of the city to meet each other and felt cheating, but Chen Yi, the Taishou of Jincheng, wanted to settle things quickly and make contributions, so he strongly persuaded the two to go out of the city to meet the Liangzhou rebels, so the rebels successfully kidnapped Bian Yun and Han Yue, and also broke through the city and killed Chen Yi.

In this way, Jincheng County was taken over by the rebels.

The rebels regained their prestige and had the ability to continue to rebel, and during this period, Gai Xun repeatedly asked Zuo Chang to send troops to aid Jincheng County, but Zuo Chang was afraid of the enemy like a tiger and resolutely refused.

So the rebels directly attacked Ji County, Liangzhou Prefecture, which was located in Hanyang County, and Zuo Chang was surrounded in Ji County and could not get out, so he panicked and quickly sent someone to Gai Xun in Ayang County for help.

Some of the generals in the army didn't want to rescue this bastard who had killed himself, but Gai Xun reprimanded them and told them to focus on the overall situation, so they were able to lead their army to support Ji County.

After arriving in Ji County, Gai Xun was surprised to learn that Bian Yun and Han Yue, officials of Jincheng County, who had been ensnared by the rebels, had joined the rebels and even became one of the leaders of the rebels.

Bian Yun and Han Yue felt ashamed, but also said that the responsibility was on Zuo Chang, if Zuo Chang supported Jincheng County in time, Jincheng County would be preserved, Taishou would not die, and they would still have a chance to reform themselves, but now in this situation, they have no choice.

Despite this, because of Gaixun's great prestige and prestige, the rebels did not dare to confront him head-on, so they retreated and lifted the siege of Ji County, the crisis was temporarily lifted, and Zuo Chang was able to survive.

But the situation did not change for the better, and the rebels did not stop attacking the city.

The battle has been fought like this, and many officials of the empire have been killed, and it is impossible for the imperial court to forgive them, and the rebels have already opened their bows and have no turning back.

This battle can only go on.

In December of the first year of Zhongping, the relevant news was sent to Luoyang.

Only then did the ministers in the court learn that the arrogant Zuo Chang had cleverly avoided all the correct options in an extremely ghostly manner for more than 20 days, and accurately selected the extremely wrong options, pushing the chaos in Liangzhou into the abyss.

This annoyed them.
