Chapter 1 Beacon Fire Shenzhou

In 186 A.D., the third year of Zhongping. As the Hajj comes to an end, the new year slowly unfolds.

But just like a particularly lively court meeting, this year is destined to be not peaceful.

At the beginning of the month, with the defeat of the Xiliang War, Jiang Qi, the Marquis of Yiyang, admonished the imperial court, and the imperial court did not accept the new cavalry general Zhang Wenyin, and sent an envoy to lead Zhang Wen back to Chang'an to rest and recuperate, in case he did not retreat.

Later, Fu Xie, the speaker of the council, was the county guard of Hanyang, and he was on duty to guard the important places of Sanfu. In addition, he ordered Dong Zhuo, who retreated in the Battle of Xiliang, to guard the right to support the wind, and sealed the townsman and 1,000 households.

At this point, the Xiliang War came to an end.

However, although the war in Xiliang was peaceful, the world did not stop the war.

In February, Zhao Ci, a soldier of Jiangxia County, raised an army against the Han Dynasty and killed Qin Jie, the Taishou of Nanyang County. Seeing the rebellion in the south, the imperial court has not yet sent troops, but the Zhongchang servants have used their authority to take this opportunity, and the dynasty offended its captain Zhang Yan, and the emperor accepted it.

Zhang Yan was dismissed, the three dukes were vacant, and the envoy was in Chang'an with the festival, and Zhang Wen was worshiped as the captain. Since then, the three dukes have not been in Beijing, starting with Zhang Wen.

Zhang Wen worshiped the third duke, and then served Zhao Zhong for a long time, and received the rank of general of the chariot cavalry.

Subsequently, Zhao Ci rebelled, and it was only in June that Wang Min, the assassin of Jingzhou, was beheaded and beheaded.

But one wave has just flattened, and another wave has risen. In October, Wuling rebelled, and the county soldiers broke it. In the same month, he had a grudge with Zhang Rang, and the former lieutenant Zhang Ting was reprimanded by the eunuchs and died in prison.

The war was repeated, Wuling was barbaric, and it was just peaceful. In December, Xianbei re-Kou You, and Erzhou, looted the border cities.

In desperation, the imperial court summoned Zhang Wen to return to Beijing to prevent accidents.

When 'Zhongping' took the year name, it meant that the Quartet was naturally peaceful, but from the beginning of the first year, there was no day of peace in the Zhongping years.

With the end of the three years of Zhongping, at the beginning of the four years, the war was already the same as before, and it kept coming.

In February, the people of Xingyang County revolted. The rebels attacked Zhongmu and killed Zhongmu Ling, Luo Hao and the main bookkeeper Pan Ye, and the momentum grew.

In March, the DPRK sent Henan Yin He Miao to lead troops to suppress and defeat the enemy. In the first battle of Xingyang, He Miao succeeded, and worshiped the general of the chariot cavalry.

But before the imperial court gasped and hibernated, Han Sui, who had been dormant for a year, killed Bian Zhang, Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou, and had more than 100,000 troops to encircle Longxi. Taishou Li Xiangru rebelled and made peace with Sui. Then besieged Hanyang, and Fu Xie, the Taishou of Hanyang, who had just taken office, fought hard and died.

Subsequently, the new assassin Sima and Fufeng Ma Teng, who were also in rebellion with Han Sui, jointly promoted the kingdom and plundered the Sanfu region

Xiliang rebelled again, and Zhang Wen, who had just returned to Beijing, naturally could not escape and went out with the leading troops.

However, in the face of the Qiang cavalry, Zhang Wen, who lacked cavalry, hurriedly summoned 3,000 Wuhuan cavalry to attack Liangzhou.

In the face of the call of the imperial court, Zhang Chun, a native of Yuyang, recommended himself as a general, but was rejected by Zhang Wen, and instead attacked Gongsun Zhan as a general.

Zhang Chun was not angry at Zhang Wen's humiliation, and immediately raised troops against Han with his fellow villager Zhang Ju.

Zhang Chun and others formed an alliance with Qiu Liju, the lord of Wuhuan, plundered Jixian County, and killed the captain of Wuhuan, Gong Qichou, Liu Zheng, the Taishou of Youbeiping County, and the Taishou Yangzhong of Liaodong County.

Zhang Chun's rebel army, with more than 100,000 people, although not as good as the Yellow Turban Army back then, but the movement was not small.

The rebels are stationed in Feiru. Zhang Ju even claimed to be the Son of Heaven, Zhang Chun called himself General Mitian and King Anding, and the two moved to Shuzhou County, claiming that Zhang Ju would be the emperor of Han on behalf of the Han Dynasty, and asked the Han Emperor to abdicate, and the secretary of state welcomed Zhang Ju.

Seeing that Zhang Chun's rebels were huge, the imperial court, which had no soldiers available, remembered that there was still an elite army available in Bingzhou.

But as soon as the edict was issued, it was not as good as the county, but the news of the rebellion of the Southern Xiongnu came back, and the edict was immediately unsuccessful.

Subsequently, Zhang Wenkou, the imperial court's captain, was not pacified and was exempted. With Situ Cui Lie as the captain.

However, no matter how the three dukes are changed, the fact that the prestige of the imperial court is ruined.

In October, the Changsha thief district star claimed to be a general, with more than 10,000 people; Helpless, the imperial court only edicted, with the merit of the battle of Xiliang, and promoted Lang's grandson Jian to Changsha Taishou and begged for it. Sun Jian also lived up to expectations, and then defeated him and sealed Wu Chenghou.

The battle in Changsha was extinguished, and in November, the Xiliang rebels, who had gained power, surrounded Chencang under the leadership of the kingdom, and the imperial court that had no generals to use, and restored the idle emperor Fu Song, who was the 'left general' and the new former general Dong Zhuo, each led 20,000 people to resist.

However, the year of the expedition to the east and the west has not ended, in December, the wandering people who were beaten by Jiang Qi at the beginning, the Huns Xu Bu a department, rebelled again, looted and annexed the state.

It's messy! It's messed up again!! Dahan is in flames everywhere. He has just entered Zhongping for five years. The Yellow Turban Beacon that swept the country at the beginning rose again, and the rest of the troops rose up one after another, and the momentum revived.

In February, Guo Tai and the Baibo Valley of the West River broke out, and then they were inferior to Jiang Jiajun. Transferred to attack Taiyuan, Hedong County and other places.

Then the Yellow Turban Army of Gepi in Runan County captured the county. Qingzhou and Xuzhou are resurrected, and the counties are attacked. The Yellow Turban Army of Ba County rose, and the Ba County Ban Yu Man took advantage of the situation to rise again, attack the county and steal the city.

Among them, Gepi Yellow Turban is the most powerful.

In the face of the chaos everywhere, the imperial court had no time to take care of it, in March, Taichang Liu Yan wrote to Liu Hong with the world's soldiers, suggesting that the assassin Shi be changed to the state pastor to renew his duties.

Thorn Shiben is the Ombudsman. Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, he has gradually transformed into a local administrator and has a state military and political machine.

Now that the chaos broke out at this time, in order to suppress the peasant uprisings one after another, Liu Hong changed the assassination history to the state pastor from Liu Yan's proposal, and selected Lieqing and Shangshu as the state pastor.

However, this helpless move made the governor of the state minister above the counties, holding the administrative power of a state and holding a very heavy position. Since then, the state and pastor have each other, which is like a separatist regime. Eventually, it led to a situation in which the princes were divided and divided.

Of course, in the face of smoke everywhere, the imperial court did not want to requisit, and Liu Hong even had the intention of recovering military power.

In August, Liu Hong set up a headquarters in Xiyuan and organized a new army.

The commander of the new army has a total of eight lieutenants: Captain Jian Shuo, Captain of the Upper Military Academy, Yuan Shao, Captain of the Middle Army, Bao Hong, Captain of the Lower Military Academy, Cao Cao, Captain of the Dian Military Academy, Zhao Rong, Captain of the Left Colonel, Feng Fang, Captain of the Right Colonel, Xia Mou, Captain of the Left Army, and Chun Yuqiong, Captain of the Right Army.

And the captain of the military academy Jian Shuo is the supreme commander of the whole army. Even He Jin has to obey Jian Shuo's command.

The Eighth School of the New Army was established, Jian Shuo was in charge of the army to weaken He Jin's power, and then Liu Hong took his biological mother Empress Dowager Dong and nephew Dong Zhong as the hussar general, and there was a great tendency to compete with He Jin.

In the following November, Bao Hong, a military cadet, went to fight against the most popular Gepi Yellow Turban. The two sides fought at Gepi. Sima Zhao Jin of the other part of the army led the army into Ba County, and then pacified Ban Yuman.

Beacons are everywhere, and the people are struggling to make a living. In addition to extinguishing fires everywhere, there are also agitated and dissatisfied with the emperor. Jizhou Thorn Shi Wang Fen, one of the eight kitchens, was activated after the abolition of the party ban that year.

After receiving the historical position of Huangfu Song's Jizhou assassination, he went to Jizhou to govern the root of the Yellow Turban Army. After Wang Fen took office, he took in the displaced people, pacified the rebellion, and governed the army. In the state for four years, the people's livelihood is rich.

Such a loyal and upright person is also a member of the party. Seeing that the world is like this, the dynasty is pervasive, and naturally it is unbearable. That is, with Xu You, a native of Nanyang, Zhou Jing of Peiguo, and others, he made friends with each other, connected the local heroes of Jizhou, plotted to abolish Liu Hong, and established the Marquis of Hefei as the emperor.

On the occasion of Liu Hong's northern tour, everyone wrote that the Black Mountain thieves attacked the county and begged for troops. However, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and Liu Hong's plan to tour the north was suddenly stopped, and he ordered Wang Fen to withdraw his troops, and soon he was recruited into Beijing. Wang Fen was so frightened that she committed suicide.

、、、、、、、、、、、、、、

Time flies, and the dog in white clothes.

When the first spring rain fell on the earth, it began to recover. It seems to indicate that in the six years of Zhongping, there will be no more displacement and no more war than in previous years.

In November of the fifth year, Gongsun Zhan, the commander of the cavalry, and Zhang Chun, the Yuyang bandit, fought in Shimen and broke down. Zhang Chun and others abandoned their wives and children, fled and retreated to Liucheng. Later, Zhang was killed by his subordinate Wang Zheng. Zhang Chun's rebellion was pacified.

Just in February, the left general Huangfu Song, who was exhausted by the troops of the kingdom, broke the siege and retreated. He ordered a march in pursuit, and won a great victory, killing more than 10,000 people. Subsequently, the ruler of the kingdom was deposed, and Xiliang was temporarily pacified.

However, compared to the imperial court celebrating the victory, the people of the capital were in great interest, and there were war reports everywhere every year, and they were tired of listening to them. Compared with where the war is fought, everyone is more concerned about whether the price of rice will rise today.

In recent years, when the Yellow Turban rebellion has revived, it means that the displaced people are continuous, and the displaced people are wandering around, with no planting in spring and no harvest in autumn. Grain prices have naturally risen, and they have increased several times more than in the first few years of the Middle and Ordinary years.

Firewood, rice, oil and salt, the foundation of home. Now that he has become the foundation of his life, he knows how the world is going to be today, seeing how many corpses are carried away by the corpse collection team every day for the homeless people who cannot enter Beijing outside the Tiger Prison Pass.

Of course, relatively speaking, it refers to the common people, and Zhumen's wine and meat are still stinky. It's like in a small col near the mountain, before it is close to noon, the air wafts with the smell of food.

The only, but the courtyard of this house, is not painted with the Zhu Gate. However, more than a dozen grass houses are staggered and located in the mountains and beside the bamboo forest, which is not something that ordinary people can have.

This cottage is far away from the hustle and bustle, built on the mountain, surrounded by green bamboos and streams. There is a quiet escape in the delicate atmosphere.

Maybe it's the mist that just rained a little spring rain in the morning and the temperature evaporated, which brought a little mystery to the grass house.

There is no plaque on the eaves of the cottage, only surrounded by a simple fence, through the fence courtyard wall, layers of flowers and trees, and the stone steps are held up the mountain.

The mountain col is not high but winding, full of mountains, at a glance is full of tall green bamboo, extremely elegant.

At this moment, among the bamboos, two tall horses, one black and one white, are leisurely walking, strolling or crossing their necks to play. The picture is full of poetry.

It was only when a young cry sounded that the silence of the mountains was broken. Not far from the meadow, a black foal galloped, even if the foal was only a few months in size, but its slender body showed its extraordinary future.

Following the foal's path, the largest open field in the col emerges, and this is also the place where the largest house in the entire grass house was built.

The thatched huts are two entrances, arranged in a tic-tac-toe, although it has just rained and is slippery everywhere, but the courtyard paved with bluestone is very lively.

At this moment, in the courtyard of nearly fifty steps horizontally and vertically, like the buds on the peach trees around it, more than a dozen children are holding wooden swords, very active.

The children were very young, the oldest was ten years old, and the youngest was six or seven years old. However, although they are all teenagers, they can be seen from their figures, they have all practiced martial arts for many years, and the sword flowers emitted by the wooden sword are quite impressive.

And the most eye-catching is undoubtedly the front-row trainer. Judging from the size of this boy, he is the youngest, about six or seven years old. With a slender figure, a face as white as jade, a simple white dress and a flowing ponytail on the top of his head, he looks like a young chivalrous man.

However, it is strange that her handsome goose egg face, a pair of beautiful almond eyes, add a little bit of daughterhood.

As the teenagers continued to wield wooden swords to practice the skills they had learned, two male figures walked down the eaves of the grass house, the eldest one was nearly thirty years old, with a beard and tendons, an ugly face like a demon, and a pair of short halberds in his hands were murderous. The little one is sixteen or seventeen, with the body of a bear, a resolute complexion, and a sword in his hand, and all the young people are solemn.

The sound of Jin Ge in the field continued, attracting people's attention. It wasn't until a string of children's voices came out that people knew that there were still people in the cottage.

At this moment, under the eaves of the grass house, the door is closed, and only one window is open, and the window can still watch the yard. Even though it is spring, there is still a brazier in the house, and the warmth is unusually high.

In the reflection of the sun pass and the candle flame, you can see that the space of this grass house is not small, but it is occupied by various bookshelves and musical instruments.

However, in the study with a bright fire and cigarettes, a child is reading.

The child, about three years old, was wrapped in thick fur, showing only a chubby little head, flashing big eyes, shaking his head, and looking so cute.

The child has just been enlightened, although he is weak, but he is very intelligent, and now he has a poem that is catchy: 'Su Su Rabbit Yi, Ding Ding of the stard.' Takeshi, the prince of Gancheng. Su Su Rabbit Yi, applied to Zhongkui. Martial arts, the prince is hateful. Su Su Rabbit Yi, applied to the forest. Martial arts, the heart of the prince. ’

After reciting a poem 'Rabbit Yi', the child peeked into a corner, and only then did he gently call 'Father'

After the call, there was a half-ring, and the bookshelves were piled up, and a person who was in the sky slowly opened his eyes.

The man shook his stiff neck slightly, then straightened his long untied hair, and stood up only after picking up the scattered books and cleaning his robe.

With the brightness of the sunlight outside the window, it can be seen clearly that this person is more than eight feet tall, with a knife-like face and a pair of dark eyes, which makes people dare not look directly.

He used to be famous, but now he has retired to the mountains and forests, wearing a Taoist robe and beard. Even though it has only been a short time since the crown, the current dress is sad.

If nothing else, who let the name of General Qilin disappear from the world.
