People in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hu and Han respected together

Chapter 63 Outbreak
"Hate Tang Zhou, poor Yuan Yi!"

At this moment, Zhang Jiao was both angry and regretful!

It was because of misreading Tang Zhou that Ma Yuanyi was now killed.

That is his confidant disciple, and he has extraordinary abilities, he has read books and practiced martial arts, he is very good in both courage and character.

Being able to buy his cronies from the emperor's side, he was able to bring tens of thousands of warriors from Jingyang and Yangzhou to Yecheng, Jizhou, and then to Luoyang, Henan.

Is this something ordinary people can do?
Their Taiping Dao has great limitations and has always been rooted at the bottom. Although the expansion is very rapid, most of them are civilians.

There were very few people like Ma Yuanyi, that's why Zhang Jiao accepted such a thing as Tang Zhou as his disciple, and even entrusted him with important tasks.

Now that the matter has come to this point, it is absolutely impossible to sit still and wait for death. If there is no possibility of easing up between the two sides, they can only raise the matter in advance.

Zhang Jiao's expression gradually became firmer, and he turned around and strode outside the house. At this time, many people had already gathered here.

Although all the people were equally angry, they were a little panicked because the incident was so sudden that they were all at a loss.

Looking around, Zhang Jiao looked at everyone and finally said in a deep voice:

"Because of Tang Zhou, now we have lost Yuanyi and thousands of core congregants, but we have prepared for more than ten years, and we still have the upper hand. We can still build a peaceful world..."

"The Han Dynasty wants to fight us forever, and we are going to fight the Han Dynasty forever. Today, in the name of my great virtuous teacher, we announce the official rebellion..."

"Take me as the general of Tiangong, Zhang Bao as the general of the land, and Zhang Liang as the general of the man, and quickly contact the commanders of all parties..."

"The war is about to begin!"

At this time, the people here all responded loudly:

"only!"

All the fear dissipated. Now that Zhang Jiao had made a decision, they just needed to carry it out. There was a backbone, and there was no backbone. It was completely different.

Because he was forced to raise troops in advance, he could only quickly send people to all sides to inform the local Qu Shuai to immediately lead his troops to attack nearby counties.

This can easily lead to disconnection. For example, Jizhou has raised troops, but Youzhou, Yuzhou, Qingzhou... these places cannot respond in time, and eventually lead to failure in one place, and may fail everywhere.

But the Han Dynasty was too decadent, even with the Tang and Zhou informers, it still couldn't stop the uprising.

With Jizhou as the center, Youzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou...the uprising army was everywhere. They tied yellow scarves on their heads and shouted "the sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is Jiazi, the world is prosperous", they captured counties, killed officials, seized the treasury, and coerced the people. In less than a month, they had hundreds of thousands of troops.

And also formed three main force groups, among which Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang are the main force of Jizhou Yellow Turbans; among them, Bocai and Peng Tuo are the main force of Yingchuan Yellow Turbans; among them, Zhang Man is the main force of Nanyang Yellow Turbans.

Among them, Jizhou is in the north, and it is not only a long way to go south, but also a natural danger of the Yellow River to block it.

But Yingchuan and Nanyang are all at the gate of Luoyang, which can be said to be a great threat.

In March, when all the news was sent back to Luoyang, Liu Hong almost fainted from anger.

Originally, his health was very bad because of his indulging in alcohol and sex, but now that he heard the news, it was even worse.

As long as you open your eyes, you will think that now half of the world is rebelling against him and wants to chop off his head, and you will feel extremely frightened for a moment.

So he hurriedly took He Jin as the general, and led the five battalions of the left and right Habayashi to station in Duting, and guard the capital with all their weapons;

Also from Hangu, Dagu, Guangcheng, Yique, Shenyuan, Xuanmen, Mengjin, Xiaopingjin and other capital gates, captains were set up to garrison.

Of course, Liu Hong also knows that this He Jin is an idiot, because his younger sister can only be reused by him when he becomes a queen.

But when he looked at the center, he only had one mouth. There are many scholar-bureaucrats who can speak well, but there are not many people who really know how to fight.

Liu Hong is very smart, he loves beauties, he is keen on pleasure, and he is extremely greedy for money, but throughout his life, he has never left power.

So he picked and picked. He recalled Huang Fusong, the prefect of the Northland who had fought in war and had military experience, to the capital. He found Lu Zhi and Zhu Jun from the court, and asked them for their opinions.

At the same time, an edict was issued to the prefects in various places to immediately recruit elite warriors, prepare weapons, and prepare for battle. Now Luoyang is really empty. There are only more than 5000 standing troops in the five schools of the Northern Army.

Including city gate guards and palace gate guards, there are only more than 1 people at most. With more than 1 people, the Han Dynasty can maintain its rule, and it does have a bit of destiny.

It was almost April when the edict reached Jincheng. After all, Liangzhou was already remote, and Jincheng was even more remote.

However, including Jincheng, all the counties in Liangzhou were actively preparing for the war. They not only vigorously searched for food, but also frequently arrested strong men, and sent all their manpower and material resources to Luoyang.

Because the Yellow Turban is really powerful, eight states are rising together, and rebels are everywhere, and there is a sign of national subjugation. The anti-rebel army in front has already set off, but they are still actively preparing for war.

Many scholar-bureaucrats feel very pessimistic. They have all read books. The current scene reminds them of 200 years ago.

There used to be great chaos in the world, and uprisings emerged in endlessly everywhere. Now and then, it is so similar.

At the same time, because of the active preparations for the war, some corrupt officials also played a role in it. Liangzhou was already poor, and now the people everywhere are complaining.

And too much manpower and material resources... were sent to Luoyang by the government, which caused the defense forces of Liangzhou counties to become more and more empty.

Even Qu Yi, whom Li Yao had always wanted to recruit, with the support of the clan, led nearly a thousand people from the clan and guests to Luoyang.

This was a unanimous decision made by their clan, who believed that they would be able to return to the plains by making great contributions to the suppression of the Yellow Turban.

Qu Yi himself also agrees, all his abilities should go to the battlefield, that is the place where a man can become famous.

However, in the original history, Qu Yi made meritorious service and stayed in Jizhou, first with Han Fu, then with Yuan Shao. In the end, he himself was killed, thousands of private soldiers were slaughtered, and he failed to return to the plains until his death.

At the same time, Li Wenhou, Beigong Boyu, Li Yao, and Beigongli all looked at each other in dismay. Although Li Yao knew the history, he didn't show it.

Beigong Boyu stared at both eyes, and at this moment he couldn't laugh or cry:
"What should we do? Before we raise our troops, some people in the Central Plains rebelled."

Li Wenhou said hesitantly:
"This is a fighter, but we have agreed that we will wait until Qiu Gao Ma Fei will raise troops..."

"All the chieftains may not be willing to follow!"

At this time Li Yao stood up:

"Father, Father Zhong, if you don't fight at this time, we will regret it for the rest of our lives!"
