Chapter 46 Liu Yao Expedition
At the beginning of the uprising, the masses responded one after another. Among the seven states, whether they were local tyrants or refugees, even the guards and officials in the city joined the Yellow Turban Army, or spread propaganda and doctrines for believers. Officials forced the people to rebel, but the people had to rebel. Thousands of hungry refugees held high the banner of righteousness and took risks to join the uprising of the Yellow Turban Army. The scale of the Yellow Turban Army exceeded one million for a time.
Among them, the wealthy merchants who believe in religion even gave food and clothes. The Yellow Turban Army had food and clothing developed very quickly. The towns they came were even more aggressive. The city guards who had lived a stable life in the past were the opponents of these Yellow Turban Army, who had just revolted and had a strong morale. They fled everywhere before they could be fought. Some even opened the city gates to welcome them. As soon as the Yellow Turban Army entered the city, they burned down the government. Corrupt officials and the families of aristocratic families often acted as a mighty and did all their bad things. When they heard the arrival of the Yellow Turban Army, they were scared out of their courage, like a dog that was strayed from the family and fled.
As for those who run slowly, they are killed. After killing corrupt officials and bad things, they will distribute their property to the people. This is why the people devoted themselves to the great wise and good teachers until they die. Within less than ten days, countless cities in the seven major prefectures were captured, and hundreds of local officials were killed. The war spread rapidly and the world was shaken.
At this time, the civil and military officials stood on both sides, and everyone in the court was panicked. Emperor Ling of Han urgently summoned the civil and military officials to discuss the matter of the Yellow Turban. Liu Hong does not want to die with the aristocratic families, so the Yellow Turban must be suppressed.
Liu Hong squinted his eyes and looked at the civil and military officials below and said casually, "Dear friends, this Yellow Turban Uprising is so popular. What are you good ways?"
For a moment, everyone was silent. This was the million-dollar Yellow Turban. What can he solve by those who only know how to enjoy and fight for power and profit.
Looking at the civil and military officials who didn't speak, Liu Hong was out of reach, "Are none of you able to stand up? Then why do I raise you, a bunch of waste?"
"Your Majesty, the Yellow Turban is powerful and the court has few soldiers. He ordered the gentry of various states to recruit soldiers and guard the Yellow Turban thieves." Emperor Ling saw that it was the general He Jin. Although he was a little disgusted with He Jin, he still agreed with He Jin's point of view. "Okay, okay, just follow the general's words."
"Your Majesty, the court needs to send several generals to fight against the Yellow Turban thieves." He Jin said again.
Liu Hong nodded and said, "It's right. I don't know which dear minister is willing to share my worries."
"Your Majesty, I am willing to go." These two people stood up.
Liu Hong looked at it and said with satisfaction, "I will feel relieved if you have General Zhu and General Huangfu, go there."
"Your Majesty, I can also quell the rebellion." Ma Riyi said out of the line.
"Say, who is your dear?"
"Lu Zhi, Lu Zigan." Ma Riyan said.
Liu Hong was stunned and said to Lu Zhi beside him, "Well, Zigan quelled Changsha for me the past two years ago. Are you willing to share my worries now?"
"I am willing to go," Lu Zhi said.
"Your Majesty, I will be able to quell the rebellion." Cai Yong also stood up and said.
When Liu Hong saw Cai Yong, he would not know who it was. "Is Bo Yi talking about Liu Yaowuer?"
"That's right!!" Cai Yong nodded.
"Okay, the emperor is brave and defeated Wuhuan a few years ago. And this time there is no Yellow Turban thief in Youzhou under his jurisdiction. This shows his ability. With him, he will definitely be able to pacify the Yellow Turban." Liu Hong said confidently.
"No, absolutely not, Your Majesty." This was a familiar and annoying voice that came into Liu Hong's ears. Liu Hong knew that it was Yuan Feng, the old guy.
Liu Hong stared at him with a dark face, without saying anything, quietly staring at his later words.
"Report to Your Majesty, although His Highness, although His Highness is brave, he is far away in Youzhou after all. It will take at least a month to say this. I'm afraid it will take too long to go." Yuan Feng said. The news of Liu Yao's hostility to the aristocratic families was spread by him, so he had to try his best to cause some trouble to Liu Yao no matter what.
"Oh." Liu Hong laughed in anger. "So according to Yuan Aiqing's meaning, you have a way to calm the entire Yellow Turban within another month, so you can leave this task to Yuan Aiqing."
"This, I,..." Yuan Feng was suddenly stopped by Liu Hong. If he had this ability, he would have sent someone to rob the credit. It was just his two sons, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao. How could he have the ability to take on this important task?
Liu Hong snorted coldly, "If there is no way, get out of here. Don't think I don't know your little thoughts."
Seeing this, Liu Hong never looked at Yuan Feng again, and immediately ordered He Jin to be the general, leading the five camps of Yulin to station Yuduting, and to mount some weapons to guard the capital; he also set up commanders to garrison the Kyoto Pass, Dagu, Guangcheng, Yique, Zhuyuan, Arc deputies, Mengjin, Xiaopingjin and other Kyoto Passes. He issued an edict to strictly prevent the situation and order all prefectures and counties to prepare for combat, train soldiers, assemble weapons, and summon the rebels to fight to fight the enemy.
On the other hand, elite troops were sent to suppress chaos in various places. Lu Zhi led the deputy general Zong Zheng to lead the five Northern Army soldiers to be responsible for the northern front and deal with the main force of Zhang Jiao; Huangfu Song and Zhu Yi each led one army to control the five schools, Sanhe Knights and the newly recruited elite soldiers and warriors to attack the Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan.
Finally, an imperial edict was issued, ordering Liu Yao, the general of the Great Han Dynasty to send troops from Youzhou to suppress the rebellion of the Yellow Turbans.
Ten days later, Luoyang's edict finally arrived in Youzhou.
"Lord, there is news in Luoyang." Ju Su ran into Liu Yao's study anxiously and handed the emergency report to Liu Yao.
Liu Yao took over and visited the following content quickly, and then laughed loudly the next moment, "Mr. I'll send me an order to get a meeting with me."
Not long after, all the people under Liu Yao were here. "Everyone, the court has heard news that I set off immediately to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion. This is a good opportunity for us to accumulate military achievements and accumulate population." Liu Yao said with a loud laugh.
"Hahaha, it's great. I, Old Zhang, have been free to have a bird these days. Lord, you must not leave me this time." Zhang Fei laughed out loud when he heard this.
"You stupid person, I won't forget you." Liu Yao cursed with a smile.
"You lord, I wonder how many people you want to bring with you when you go to quell the chaos this time?" Tian Feng asked.
Liu Yao thought for a moment and said, "The army's expedition is a waste of money and money. Our Youzhou has finally lived a little more comfortable life in recent years, and I don't seem to add any burden. So this time I only brought five thousand charge camps and five thousand trap camps, and a thousand personal guards under my command.
"Is there too few lords?" Ju Su said with some concern.
Liu Yao laughed and said, "Hahaha, it's okay. The troops of these two battalions under my command are truly elites. In addition to those equipment, they are definitely one to ten. The Yellow Turban is just a mob, which is far inferior to the regular army. With this team of ten thousand people, it is enough to destroy them."
Ju Su couldn't help swallowing his saliva after hearing this, thinking about the terrifying equipment of the camp's charge camp, and couldn't help but start to mourn the Yellow Turbans.
Seeing that no one was opposing, Liu Yao said, "Since that's the case, I will personally lead the army to the expedition this time. Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong and Gao Shun will follow me to the expedition. Tian Feng is the military advisor and gives me advice."
"It depends on the lord's orders." Everyone said in unison.
"After I left, I will deal with all matters in Youzhou, and I will also ask you to worry more about you." Liu Yao said.
"Please rest assured, lord, Su will definitely take good care of Youzhou." Ju Su said firmly.
