Chapter 112: The Yellow Turban Rebellion can not solve the party's problems

At the same time, the rebellion in the palace was also extinguished by a group of Yue cavalry battalions led by Xu Rong and Gao Shun.

At the same time, the traitors who were also implicated in the eunuchs and the forbidden army were also uprooted by Yu Linlang, a close confidant of the Guangluxun faction, and the Taiping Daoists who were usually hidden in the deep palace came up one after another tonight.

Once it has emerged, there is no way back, either it will be done, or it will be uprooted.

Xu Rong, who was the Sima of the Yue Cavalry Battalion, showed his excellent talent for the battle at this time, because he cooperated with Liu Kuan to suppress the rebellion in the palace quickly and had a very small impact, Liu Hong specially praised Xu Rong.

On the contrary, Liu Jian made too much movement on the side of the Pingcheng Gate, and overnight, the matter was known to the ministers and scholars of Luoyang City.

After taking down Ma Yuanqi, sealing the title, and Xu Feng, Liu Hong immediately ordered Tingwei to interrogate him overnight.

Things have developed to this point, and it is no longer of much significance to try or not to interrogate, but Liu Hong still rarely follows the formal regulations.

After just one night of interrogation, Liu Hong ordered Ma Yuanyi, Xu Feng, Feng Zhen and others to be torn apart, and ordered the Taiping sect to be hunted down and killed in Sili.

And from this day on, news about the Yellow Turban Army began to come from all over the country.

First of all, the news came from Nanyang County, which is the closest to Luoyang, that the Yellow Turban Army gathered in the champion, and they played the slogan of "the sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, and the sky is evenly matched".

Subsequently, news of the Yellow Turban Army uprising came from Runan County, Yingchuan County, Dong County, and Qian County one after another.

In a few days, the sky is dead and the yellow sky should stand, shaking the Han half of the realm!

The world trembled and shook!

The anger that had been pent up for many years turned into raging flames in an instant, and suddenly became a prairie fire.

The Yellow Turban Army attacked cities and lands in various places, attacked government offices, and at the same time wantonly plundered the Wu Fort, the home of local noble families, and for a time there was chaos in various places, and wars were frequent.

Before the Luoyang side could make an effective response, news also came from Hebei.

Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang rose up in Jizhou, Hebei, and called themselves the generals of Tiangong, Digong, and Rengong, and they led the headquarters of the Yellow Turban Army, burned down the official mansion, killed the soldiers, and looted everywhere.

Within a month, the news of the Yellow Turban Army uprising came one after another in 28 counties in seven states, and the spread was unprecedented!

Liu Jian carefully sent people to inquire about the situation in every county in every state.

As in history, when the Yellow Turban Army first started, it was like a bamboo, and it was difficult for counties and counties to resist, especially the counties in the interior, due to the very limited troops, for a time the county offices and county offices and warehouses in various places were attacked by the Yellow Turbans.

At this time, Liu Hong finally lost his former peace and fell into a deep panic, frightened every day, and couldn't close his eyes.

Zhang Rang and others immediately spoke to Liu Hong. Ask Liu Hong to set up the post of general, coordinate the soldiers and horses from all over the country, and garrison the moth thieves in Luoyang.

Liu Hong asked the eunuchs who was the best person to serve as a general at this critical moment.

Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others had already thought about it, and they recommended He Jin to Liu Hong.

He Jin has a close relationship with Guo Sheng among the ten permanent servants, the two are fellow villagers of Wancheng, and He Jin also sent Queen He into the palace through Guo Sheng's doorway, and he used this to intersect with the ten permanent servants.

Although the war is imminent, Liu Hong is still very cautious about grasping power.

He knew that according to the current situation, it was inevitable to recruit troops and horses in various places, and to delegate military power to everyone, since he wanted to delegate power, then there must be a general who was related to him to coordinate the overall situation, so as not to decentralize power and make it difficult to collect.

It has been a practice since the Eastern Han Dynasty to use a relative as a general, which Liu Hong knows very well, but a delicate relationship has also been formed between the generals and the emperor in the past dynasties, and the relatives have gained huge power by virtue of this relationship, which can both assist and restrain the imperial power in the court.

Especially the matter of the two recent generals, Liang Ji and Dou Wu, made Liu Hong have to have scruples.

However, Liang and Dou were both born in the six major families of the Eastern Han Dynasty, with deep family heritage and deep roots.

As a general like He Jin, a butcher's gatekeeper will not hinder the imperial power, Liu Hong still has no idea in his heart.

He thought about it for days, but he couldn't make up his mind.

So, Liu Hong asked Liu Jian to come to discuss.

Since he told the Yellow Turban about it and captured Ma Yuanyi alive, Liu Jian's status in Liu Hong's heart has risen even higher.

Now his status in Liu Hong's heart even surpassed Liu Yan for a time.

At this time, Liu Hong only believed in Liu Jian.

"Brother Huang, Zhang Rang and others advised me to make He Jin a general, but I was a little hesitant about this matter and wanted to ask Brother Huang for advice."

Liu Jian said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that in this critical season, the moth thieves are making trouble in various states and counties, and their momentum is very great, and this general who controls the armies must be established, and Henan Yin's identity is indeed the most suitable, after all, he himself is a relative, and his mother's family is not a wang family." ”

Liu Hong stroked his beard and did not say a word.

"If Your Majesty is really not at ease, then you might as well give him a try and see how loyal he is? If there is evidence of faithfulness, then it is appointed, how about it? ”

"How can you learn from their loyalty?"

"This matter is easy, Your Majesty can summon him into the palace and confer the post of general on him, if he insists on resigning and does not dare to accept it, it will be easy to control, if he does not shirk and is directly appointed, Your Majesty will not be too late to make plans again."

Liu Hong suddenly said when he heard this: "This is true." ”

Subsequently, Liu Hong asked Liu Jian about another matter.

"Yesterday, I received a letter from Emperor Fu Song of the North, admonishing him to lift the party's shackles, but he was afraid that the party members and local nobles would secretly communicate with the Yellow Turban, so the Han is in danger, I don't know what the emperor thinks about this matter?"

Liu Jian said: "The moth thief is in trouble, the minister has been paying attention to the war in the states, and now the moth thieves are plundering the states and counties, attacking the official offices, and accepting the displaced people everywhere to strengthen their momentum, and the states and counties are lost, and it is indeed a crisis,"

"The minister thought that at this time, he could lead Yulin Lang to the important places under the division, and make preparations for the expedition by ordering ordnance, mobilizing grain and grass, and making expedition preparations,"

"In addition, consolidate and increase troops in Hangu Pass, Dagu, Guangcheng, Yique, Yuyuan, Revolving Gate, Mengjin, and Xiaopingjin, in order to prevent moths and thieves from besieging the capital, as for the party...... There is no need to solve it for the time being, Your Majesty can wait for another month. ”

Liu Hong was shocked when he heard this: "Why, if the people in the party conspire with the Yellow Turban, I am afraid that there is no way to regret it." ”

Liu Jian replied: "That's true, it's just that this time the moth thieves attacked the state capital, and the minister heard that they not only raided the official office, but also looted the local Wangmen, and many moth thieves attacked the Wangzu Wu Fort,"

"I heard that in addition to Jizhou and Youzhou, the main force of the Yellow Turban led by Zhang Jiao himself is still storming the state and county government offices, and other states and counties, such as Qing, Xu, Jing, Yang, Yu and other places, seem to have attacked the local Shimen lord Yue Wubao family very seriously,"

"The minister thinks that the slogan of 'Heaven Supplement Junping' circulated among the moth thieves has caused the moth thieves in various states to hate Wangmen, and only Zhang Jiao's goal is still above the Hewei Luoyang, although he can control the moth thieves in Ji and You, but the other parties have failed to effectively expand the results of the Yellow Turban because of the hatred of the moth thieves for the Wangzu Gaomen,"

"According to the current reports from various places, there are many moths and thieves in the counties who are affected by the 'Heavenly Supplement and Equalization', and there are many people who attack the local lords."

"If there is no such thing, Your Majesty should first ask the party people for peace, and release the party, so as not to merge with the moth thieves, but now, these people are unable to watch from the wall, compared to the offensive of the imperial court, the moth thieves will do more harm to the counties and clans, and the minister feels that Your Majesty can wait and see, and wait for the party members to take the initiative to ask Your Majesty for peace!"

Liu Hong was nervous because there were too many rebellions, and he didn't pay attention to these small details, but after hearing this, he suddenly woke up.

Although it is now in the period of the Great War, the struggle between the imperial power and the scholar power is still the same, and Liu Hong also understands in his heart that the Yellow Turban Army has suddenly developed to this extent, and the undercover Beijing division is linked to the eight states, which must have the secret support of the local scholar clan, but although the emperor hates it in his heart, he can't speak out in this critical season.

After Liu Jian's reminder, Liu Hong calmed down.

"Okay, I will arrange it according to Aiqing's wishes, and send more elites to the counties to investigate, if it is as the emperor said, then I and Shimen are grasshoppers on the same line, they can't use the moth thief to threaten me, but they should take the initiative to cooperate with me!"

"Your Majesty is wise, that's exactly what it is."
