The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire Chapter 88: Yellow Turban Pingding
In June of the seventh year of Guanghe, Nanyang prefect Qin Jie fought against Zhang Mancheng and beheaded Zhang Mancheng. The Yellow Turban Army changed to Zhao Hong as the commander and occupied Wancheng with more than 100,000 people.
While Huangfusong and Zhu Junjun continued to attack the yellow turbans of Runan and Chen Guo, chasing Bocai to Yangdi, and finally defeated Pengtu in Xihua, Yu Jun wanted to escape to Wancheng.
But Sun Jian first entered the city, and everyone advancing like an ant, defeated the enemy army and successfully brought down the Yellow Turban army in the Yuzhou area. On the other hand, Lu Zhi broke through several battles and killed more than 10,000 people.
Zhang Jiao had to withdraw to Guangzong. Lu Zhi built blocks, dug trenches, and made a ladder to conquer the city. Just as the Lingdi sent Zuo Feng to inspect the military situation, someone persuaded Lu Zhi to bribe Zuo Feng, but Lu Zhi refused, and Zuo Feng falsely accused the Lingdi of Lu Zhi's ineffective combat.
The emperor Ling was furious and used a prison cart to conquer Lu Zhi back to Beijing. The Jingshi had to issue an edict to readjust: Huangfu Songbei Shangdong County; Zhu Jun attacked Zhao Hong of Nanyang; and Dong Zhuo replaced Lu Zhi.
At the same time, ethnic minorities such as Xianling and Qiang in the northern part of Liangzhou, as well as refugees in Nanhan, Heguan and other places also took advantage of the opportunity to rebel, elect Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou as generals, and killed Huqiang school lieutenant Lingzheng. Two local celebrities, Bian Zhang and Han Sui, were forced into the company at that time.
In July, Zhong Yu’s army, which had been rested for a month, set out again. This time, where the army passed, resistance was even rarer. The deeds of Zhong Yu's previous entrustment of the army and the cracking of the soil and territories have been reported.
Although dozens of tycoons in Nanjun have been destroyed with this award, Zhong Yu has used his actual actions to tell all the gentry in the world that as long as he does not oppose him, then he will not treat those gentry badly.
In order to set an example and reassure, I also rewarded Cai Tao and Huang Chengyan as the king of a country. Although there is only one county's fief, it is also a country!
Think about King Zhou's entrustment of eight hundred princes. Which country has not been passed on to him for hundreds of years, and after the country is destroyed, he can continue to survive as a nobleman in the victorious country.
With such a guarantee, it means that his family can inherit him for thousands of years without dying. This is more meaningful than any promise.
So even though there are fewer troops on the expedition this time, only his 50,000 people are on the expedition in the two major states. But all the way through is not so much a conquest, as it is to accept the city one by one. Basically, as soon as the banner of the army arrives, all the city gates will basically be opened.
Only a few brain-disabled people will uphold and resist the loyalty of the Han Dynasty to the end. Then you can use their power of one city and one county? How long can it stop the army? It was just a lot of ups and downs, and it was flat in a flash.
In September, the East Route Army of Zhong Yu’s army traveled to Zhishanyin County, Kuaiji County, which is already the easternmost and southernmost county of Yangzhou. As long as such a county is pacified, it represents Yangzhou. Completely included under Zhong Yu's rule.
As the prefect Wang Ankai surrendered under the temptation of the Kuaiji prefecture guarded by the entrustment of a county in Zhongyu, all the officials of Huiji prefecture all lined up at the gate of the city to welcome the army's entry into the city.
With the fall of the dragon flag that symbolizes the great Han at the head of the city, it is unique to the imperial country, and the red fire and blue Liniao flag rises. It completely announced that the entire Yangzhou had been separated from the rule of the Dahan, and the Dahan no longer had a foothold in the entire south of the Yangtze River.
And in the southernmost part of the entire Han, a few days later, as Nichinan County was previously barbarized by the South, the Linyi Kingdom, which was taken to establish the country, was destroyed, and the entire developed land on the west side of the South China Sea was under the control of Zhong Yu’s Yuguo. Down.
The entire Jiaozhou was also conquered by Zhong Yu. At this moment, Zhong Yu's national flag was planted all over the south of the Yangtze River, and his Yuguo had grown into a giant like a big man.
At this time, the Han Dynasty, which was already like a broken ship, was repaired and finally put down the Yellow Turban Rebellion that raged in the Central Plains. He began to concentrate his forces on his way to Hebei, preparing to eliminate Zhang, the last spiritual leader of the Yellow Turban Army. Horn.
Because of the unfavorable battle for a long time, Beizhong Lang's Lu Zhi was escorted back to the capital by the Ling Emperor, and he was handed over to Dong Zhuo to lead the northern army, but he was defeated by Zhang Jiao.
The imperial court had to recruit Huang Fusong to lead the army that had just calmed down the Central Plains and had not had time to rest and went to the north to suppress the Yellow Turban army, which was being abused because it was not controlled by the Han army.
However, a dramatic scene happened. When Huang Fusong led him from various places in the Han Dynasty, the county soldiers and the Central Army who were continuously drawn from all over the Han Dynasty came to Guangzong City, only to find that they, the extremely jealous thieves had their first horns. He died of illness, leaving only his brother Digong General Zhang Liang to guard Guangzong City with a group of mourning soldiers.
However, after Zhong Yu's tight seal on the entire Yangtze River, the entire Han court did not know how the entire southern war was going, and thought that the entire South was actively resisting Zhong Yu's attack.
They didn't believe that the Yellow Turban Army that swept the entire northern part of the Han Dynasty would not be able to conquer the entire Central Plains in one go.
How can the unknown forces that started in the land of Bashu quickly quell the entire Jiangnan? I have never heard of such a thing since ancient times.
So the defense against the South is just to leave his army of 20,000 to 30,000 for a while, guarding the dangers, and not paying too much attention to it.
The final essence accumulated by the great man over the centuries, the more than one hundred thousand field troops commanded by Huangfu Song, were all taken to Hebei by him at this time, ready to put down the Yellow Turban Army that has ravaged the Han for nearly a year as soon as possible.
After more than half a year of battle, the Dahan’s library, which is not rich, has been completely exhausted. There are no rats in the warehouse. It can be said that if he is beaten for another half a year, then the entire Han Dynasty’s finances can be declared bankrupt. NS.
Therefore, the Emperor of Han Ling constantly urged Huang Fu Song to put down the rebellion in Hebei as soon as possible, so that the troops on the expedition could return to their hometown~IndoMTL.com~ so that the money and grain that flowed out like water began to be returned to the basket.
However, Zhong Yu was not yet ready to go out at this time. All his elite troops were sent to conquer two states. They have gone through a three-month war, although there is no too much fighting.
But even if a person has been on the road for three months, his mind is very tired, so he has to rest for a while before he can continue fighting.
He wanted to wait for those troops to recuperate for a month, and then gather the 500,000 troops he had recruited from the entire south, and go northward, and destroy the entire Central Plains in one fell swoop.
strive to calm down the entire big man within one year, so as to draw a perfect end to this three-country world strategy.
In October, Huangfu broke the Yellow Turban Army and killed General Zhang Liang in Guangzong City.
In November, the Yellow Turban Rebellion ended in Xiaquyang County with General Zhang Bao, the guardian Guodian Murder in Julu County.
However, when the Emperor Han Ling thought that the world was peaceful and no one would rebel anymore, a bad news came to the Luoyang court Liu Hong and the court officials.
The Qiang and refugees of the Liangzhou uprising have already attacked Guanzhong. The army is heading towards Chang'an, and the ancestral mausoleum of the Han Dynasty is about to be excavated.
At this time, Xiliang’s more than 100,000 paces have approached Meiyang County, Fufeng County, and a few counties will be able to hit Chang'an City and dug Liu’s ancestral grave.
If these can be tolerated, then once the entire Guanzhong is lost, there is only one Tongguan to the west of Luoyang City to be garrisoned, and the Xiliang Army can attack Luoyang at any time, threatening the ruling foundation of the entire Han Dynasty.
This is something that no ruler can tolerate. Where you live, thieves can invade at any time, and the lives of the emperor are threatened. Do you still expect your subjects to be loyal to the emperor?
