The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 256
The first year of Zhongping, a year destined to be full of turmoil.

The raging moth rebellion has just come to an end, before the ruling and opposition parties have time to celebrate with drummers, the Qiang people in Liangzhou in the northwest broke out another riot.

Taking advantage of the civil strife in the Han Dynasty, Beigong Boyu, the leader of the Qiang and Hu tribes, united with the local powerful Song Yang and Huang Zhongyi to launch a mutiny against the leader of the Hu tribe, Li Wenwen.

In just a few weeks, the rebel army captured Yunwu, the prefecture of Jincheng County, killed Chen Yi, the prefect of Jincheng County, and Leng Zheng, the captain of Huqiang; People joined the ranks of the rebels.

In order to prevent being wanted by the court, the two changed their names shortly after joining the rebel army.Bian Yun was renamed Bian Zhang, and Han Yue was renamed Han Sui.

Since the two were well-known in Liangzhou, Beigong Boyu and Li Wenwen, the rebel leaders, decided to select Bian Zhang as the general leader and Han Sui as the deputy after discussing with them.

With the participation of these two people, the progress of the rebellion can be described as rapid.It took less than one month to besiege Zuo Chang, the governor of Liangzhou who had just taken office, in Ji County, the state government.

Of course, Zuo Chang fell into such a field, and it was purely his own death.

The imperial court sent him to recruit soldiers to counter the rebellion. This guy was lucky. He took advantage of the opportunity of conscription to intercept tens of millions of military expenses and fill his own pocket.As a result, the disgruntled Qiang and Xiaoyue clan recruited rebelled in Lingju and killed the local governor.

The failure to save the army naturally helped the rebels a lot.

Fortunately, Gai Xun, the prefect of Hanyang, arrived in time with his army, and Zuo Chang was able to escape from death.

After this incident, Zuo Chang was dismissed by the court, and Liangzhou ushered in a new governor, Song Nie (nie).

Song Nie was a devout Confucian scholar. He believed that to quell the rebellion, one should not simply rely on force, but to use benevolence to warm and influence.He believes that only when the "Book of Filial Piety" is taught among the people, when the rebels wake up and understand, they will naturally put down their weapons and surrender to the court.

When the generals under his command heard these remarks, they almost fainted from anger.They told Song Nie one after another that this would not work, it would be better to seize the time to integrate the troops and meet the rebels.

Song Nie didn't believe in evil, and regardless of everyone's opposition, he resolutely submitted this proposal to the court.

Soon, Liangzhou ushered in a new governor, Yang Yong.

Yang Yong was in his forties and had experience in battle on the battlefield, but even so, he still couldn't stop the march of the rebels.

Xia Yu, the newly appointed captain of the Qiang guard, went to the livestock officer in Hanyang County, and encountered a fierce attack from the leader of the Jujiuzhong Qiang, Dianwu.Gai Xun, who was stationed in Hanyang, led his army to rescue again, but suffered a disastrous defeat in the nearby Hupan.

During this battle, Xia Yu and Gai Xun fled, and the Han army lost nearly a thousand soldiers.

At this time, the local Han army in Liangzhou was obviously not enough to resist the rebels, so they asked the court for help.

As the rebellion escalated, Qiang people from Liangzhou's Beidi County, Anding County, Jincheng County, Longxi County, Juhan, Heguan and other places responded one after another.

These rebellious Qiang people gathered in Jincheng, and they united with Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou as generals, with more than [-] soldiers under their command.

At the same time, this alliance also means that the rebels have taken control of the strip on the west bank of the Zhuo River.

When the imperial court received a request for help from Liangzhou, it also had a headache in its head.

After the champion Hou Huo Qubing surrendered to the Xiongnu in Hexi, the Qiang people living in this place also surrendered to the Han Dynasty.Later, Wang Mang usurped the government, which led to the Han Dynasty entering a period of civil strife. The Qiang people took the opportunity to grow in Hexi, and eventually developed into a powerful force.

It was also since then that the Han Dynasty fell into the quagmire of a protracted war with the Qiang people.

The Qiang people practiced a military system that integrated soldiers and civilians, and their operations were mainly raids, using the maneuverability of cavalry to harass and plunder everywhere.The Han Dynasty carried out large-scale encirclement campaigns several times, but within a few years of each surrender, the Qiang rebelled again.

So much so that it later evolved into a fixed pattern: rebellion—repression—rebellion—repression.

Before the arrival of the army of the Han Dynasty, the army gathered people to make chaos, and when the army quelled the chaos, they broke up again.

In this long war, generations of famous generals of the Han family fought bloody battles in the Hexi Corridor, winning or losing with the Qiang people.

First, the Ling Qiang was wiped out, the Shenlang Qiang rebelled, the Zhong Qiang was finished, and the Eastern Qiang was in chaos again...

The signs of the Qiang rebellion are like leeks in the field, which have just been harvested, but they start to grow wildly one after another.

When the imperial court learned of the Qiang rebellion, most of them were scolding their mothers in their hearts.

I thought that this time the Qiang people would be the same as before, they were just making small troubles, until Beigong Boyu marched his army into Chencang, invaded Sanfu, and threatened Chang'an.

Only then did the bigwigs in the court wake up to the fact that Beigong Boyu was here for real this time, and he was going to do something properly.

Therefore, he hurriedly transferred back Huangfusong who had stayed in Jizhou, took him as the commander, and sent troops to guard Chang'an.

After Huangfusong arrived in Chang'an, he went out to fight the rebels several times, but failed to defeat the enemy.

The imperial court saw that the rebels would not retreat, and Huangfusong had no choice but to worry that the rebels would break through Chang'an and threaten the safety of Luoyang.Zhang Rang and others took the opportunity to propose that the imperial court reactivate Dong Zhuo, and promote him to be a rebellious general, and go to Chang'an to assist Huangfusong.

Dong Zhuo led five thousand soldiers and horses and rushed all the way to Chang'an.After reuniting with Huangfusong, he fought two more rounds with the Qiang people, but they also failed in the end.

The Qiang people are not like the moth thieves. Although they are not as numerous as the moth thieves, their combat effectiveness is extremely sturdy.Especially good at fighting in the wild, and even defeated Huangfusong from the front several times.

The only shortcoming is that it is not good at siege.

Huangfusong seized this weakness and avoided fighting. He wanted to exhaust the morale of the Qiang people and find another chance to win.

But the pig teammates in the imperial court didn't realize it, and began to spread rumors that Huangfusong was slack and didn't fight.

The emperor is an impatient person who can't stand it, so he is very happy.After hearing these remarks, he immediately sent someone to urge Huangfusong, telling him: "Hurry up and get rid of these Qiang people, or you should know the consequences yourself."

Huangfusong sighed helplessly when he received the order, he couldn't do it in the wild, and it's winter now, how can he make peace?

As the saying goes: Don't be afraid of enemies as fierce as jackals, but teammates as stupid as pigs.

That's what he said, but Huangfusong couldn't understand the emperor's temper very well.If he can't deal with these Qiang people in a short period of time, or if he can't produce decent results, he will most likely be demoted to prison to be with Lu Zhi.

Compared to Huangfusong's anxiety, the other Dong Zhuo who was sent to suppress the rebellion was not worried at all. Anyway, he was not afraid of wearing shoes with bare feet, and he knew better than anyone else why these Qiang people were advancing so loudly.

After thinking about it, Huangfusong could only submit to the imperial court, and wrote in the memorial: "The Qiang people are brave and tough, and only one person can suppress them with bravery."
