Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 21 The Yellow Turban Rising
Gongsun Xu and others finally found Zhang Zhongjing after passing through Changsha. Although Zhang Zhongjing was no longer the prefect, but because his family members took over when he was the prefect in Changsha, he settled here later. After resigning, he devoted himself to medicine. When Gongsun Xu came to the door and said that there was a cure for typhoid fever that he needed to discuss with Zhang Zhongjing, Zhang Zhongjing quickly took Gongsun Xu into his home.

As soon as Gongsun Xu entered Zhang Zhongjing's house, he was dragged by Zhang Zhongjing to discuss a good prescription. In fact, Gongsun Xu learned that the history of aspirin, a traditional Chinese medicine, can be traced back to the ancient Romans who obtained a solution by soaking poplar bark. In the bark extract of plants, salicylates were extracted, and then aspirin appeared after a long development.

This medicine has an absolute curative effect on the typhoid cold at this time.After Gongsun Xu told Zhang Zhongjing the news, Zhang Zhongjing also remembered that there was a similar record in ancient books, so he asked Gongsun Xu to find a way to make this medicine, but Gongsun Xu bluntly said that he knew a lot of theories but did not know how to make the medicine. He invited Zhang Zhongjing to Youzhou, and told Zhang Zhongjing that the famous doctor Hua Tuo was also studying medicine in Youzhou, and that Youzhou could provide the best environment for doctors in the world to explore and study medicine.

After Zhang Zhongjing heard the news, he no longer hesitated, immediately packed up his belongings, and went to Youzhou with Gongsunxu with the desire to save the common people in the world.

Gongsun Xu rushed to Youzhou with a large group of people. When he passed by Pengcheng, he heard that there was a powerful ranger named Shan Fu. He often sang a song. The Lord seeks the virtuous, but he does not know me."

Gongsun Xu felt that this person was extraordinary, so he went to visit Shan Fu specially. After the two talked with each other, they suddenly felt that it was too late for them to meet each other. Why did people not shine in history, but he is not surprised, because he feels that history has drowned too many talents, and Shan Fu may be one of them.

But after Shan Fu went back to rest, Xi Zhi told Gongsun Xu that Shan Fu was very similar to Xu Shu who killed someone for his friends a few years ago, and Gongsun Xu remembered that Xu Shu was a great talent in history. Go to Xu Shu's room and ask Xu Shu to go to Youzhou with him.

In fact, Xu Shu had heard of Gongsun Xu's name a long time ago, and happened to meet him in Pengcheng. Xu Shu deliberately attracted Gongsun Xu's attention. Seeing that Gongsun Xu was so sincere, Xu Shu agreed to visit Youzhou. Gongsun Xu was very happy, and immediately introduced Xu Shu to everyone. , and asked Xu Shu to be his military adviser on the spot, Xu Shu had no choice but to agree, and Xi Zhicai was not jealous but praised Gongsun Xu even more.

The next day, everyone set off to Youzhou at full speed. When passing through Beihai, Gongsun Xu went to look for Tai Shici, but found out that Tai Shici was away alone, leaving his mother alone at home. When Gongsun Xu came to visit, he found Tai Shici His mother was seriously ill, so Zhang Zhongjing was asked to treat her immediately, and Gongsun Xu took out the last two thousand-year-old ginseng left around him to make medicine for the old lady.

After taking care of Tai Shici's mother for a day, Gongsun Xu ordered the local government to take good care of the old lady with a gold medal, and spent money to hire two maids to take care of the old lady, but the old lady wanted to refuse.

But Gongsun Xu told her that he was in the army when he was young, and he traveled around the world recently. He hadn't seen his mother for a long time. It's a pity on the one hand, but Tai Shici is still traveling abroad and can't take care of his mother. He did this to express his filial piety for the students from all over the world, and secondly, so that heroes like Tai Shici can travel with peace of mind.

After the old lady heard it, it was hard to refuse.A day later, Gongsun Xu bid farewell to the old lady and left.

Gongsun Xu has done everything he should do. As for whether these great talents can be used by him, it depends on their choice. Moreover, Gongsun Xu has already recruited a lot of talents during this trip, and Zhao Yun is currently returning to Youzhou to recruit. The continuation of the camp has been quite powerful.

After a long journey, Gongsun Xu and others finally rushed back to Youzhou. When Zhao Yun saw Gongsun Xu coming back, he immediately told Gongsun Xu all the information he had obtained.It turned out that the intelligence agency established by my future father-in-law Zhen Yi found that the Taiping Road was rampant all over the country, and had already confused many civilians. Because Youzhou was far away from the Central Plains, and Gongsun Xu had specially instructed him, there was no trace of the Taiping Road.

Originally, the government did not pay attention to this matter, but last month, many believers continued to gather in the main towns of various states, and some insiders reported that there was a high possibility of rebellion in March. Gongsun Xu left Youzhou for nearly a year Half a year, now the Chinese New Year is coming soon, time is running out, Gongsun Xu has to go to Liaodong to see how Xu Rong is doing.

The next day, Gongsun Xu explained to Gongsun Zan that the Taiping Road in various places might rebel. Gongsun Zan immediately trained the army and transported military supplies to the frontier areas to prevent the barbarians from taking advantage of the situation. , Gongsun Zan agreed.

After all, his son is now 15 years old, and he is [-] years old. He is an adult, and he doesn't have to be shorter than Gongsun Zan himself when he stands up. Gongsun Zan himself has no reason to stop him.

Gongsun Xu immediately went to the barracks to recruit troops, and took Xi Zhicai, Xu Shu, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Guan Yu, Xu Huang and others to Liaodong. Zhang Fei also bid farewell to his family and caught up with the large army.Now Zhang Fei is no longer a kid fighting on the street. Because of Gongsun Xu, Zhang Fei's father did not die as early as in history, and Zhang Fei himself joined the army very early. Now Zhang Fei is already a general in command of an army. Therefore, when Gongsun Xu needed him most, Zhang Fei followed Gongsun Xu without hesitation.

Gongsun Xu and his [-] cavalry were all equipped with one man and three horses. After three months of fast riding, Gongsun Xu and others finally arrived in Liaodong. Most of the territory of Sanhan has been conquered, and now it is guarding there, so Gao Shun is in full charge of Liaodong.

Gongsun Xu didn't talk nonsense. He inspected the army first after entering the city. Gao Shun had already arranged for [-] cavalry and [-] infantry to stand on the playground and wait for Gongsun Xu's inspection. The front of the team was the [-] camp. It was trained by Gao Shun himself. Among the [-] cavalry, there were [-] heavy armored cavalry. There were originally a total of [-], but Xu Rong took away [-]. All cavalry horses are equipped with saddles and horseshoes. The fighting power of local cavalry is too strong'

And Xu Rong has repeatedly emphasized that well-trained soldiers must go to the battlefield to fight. Although there are only 8 people on the playground, the murderous aura emanating from the army has deeply shocked Xu Shu. People like Xi Zhicai, this is the strength of the lord. , and it was only part of it. This was what Xu Shu and the others were thinking at this time. Next, Gongsun Xu inspected the important industrial sites such as the weapon workshop in Liaodong City.

Both Xu Rong and Gao Shun recruited refugees and small grassland tribes according to Gongsun Xu's request, and then selected those with special skills to vigorously develop technologies such as iron smelting, textiles, and papermaking.

Now the equipment of the Liaodong army is definitely better than that of any place in the Han Dynasty, and perhaps only the Imperial Forest Army can compete with it.Moreover, everyone in Liaodong City knows that their fate belongs to a young man named Gongsun Xu. They don't have much feeling and loyalty to the big man, but they absolutely support Gongsun Xu, because since Gongsun Xu took over Liaodong The life of the people here is getting better every day, and many tribes on the grassland are willing to migrate to Liaodong to live.Compared with the current big Han, Liaodong is the real paradise.

In the evening, Gongsun Xu left everyone for a meeting, and when everyone came together, Gongsun Xu said: "Three Hans have not been completely settled yet, Xu Rong can't leave me to deal with the rebellion that will break out next year, and I am going to bring Gao Shun and the trapped camp to the rescue." Let's go, Liaodong needs a general with outstanding ability to guard. In addition, I am going to leave Mr. Xu Shu to help me manage Liaodong and Sanhan temporarily. I want to make these two places as stable as Mount Tai and become my rear area. Now I declare, Xu Huang Stay here to help Xu Shu guard Liaodong, and order Xu Rong to conquer Sanhan as soon as possible. Xu Rong will go to the Central Plains with me in at most two years. I will not move the other troops for the time being, and leave it to the three of you. I hope the three will not let me disappointment."

After hearing this, Xu Shu and Xu Huang immediately knelt down and said, "Never let the lord down." The scholars died for their confidants. Xu Shu and Xu Huang were very moved.Those who were not left behind were regretful, but they knew that Gongsun Xu was not left either, which shows that the Central Plains War still needs them in many places.

After five days in Liaodong, Gongsun Xu returned to Youzhou with the [-] camps. Liaodong has not yet developed to the way Gongsun Xu idealized, so he left the great talent Xu Shu. With him, Liaodong will develop even more quick.And Xu Huang will guard one side sooner or later, now he must grow up as soon as possible.

After returning to Youzhou just in time for the New Year, when Gongsun Xu accompanied his family to celebrate the New Year happily, he immediately went into the military camp.Xu Shu's family was also taken over some time ago. This was specially ordered by Gongsun Xu, just for the recurrence of historical tragedies. As for Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, they were taken to Liaodong last time. world.

In the barracks, Zhao Yun is leading the white horse Yi Cong to train, and Zhang Fei is also training the 5000 cavalry formed during the grassland battle. These [-] people were originally used to form the heavy cavalry, but now the horseshoes and stirrups are not suitable for appearance. So they all practice charging immediately, and they all wear iron armor, but they are all within the endurance of war horses.

The last time I presented a few BMWs in Gaoshun, Liaodong, now Gongsun Xudian, Wei Guanyu and Huang Zhong have a really suitable mount. Gongsun Xu's current mount is black in color, without any variegation. With a back of more than eight feet and big hooves and wrists, its body shape looks exactly the same as the legendary black dragon horse, so Gongsun Xu gave it this name.

The mounts of Guan Yu and Dian Wei are sweat-blooded horses. This is a rare breed with strong explosive power and endurance. Blood Horse, Huang Zhong named it Liaoyuanhuo, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Guan Yudian, Wei Huangzhong, and Yan Liangwen Chou These seven people are practicing martial arts in the army these days when they have nothing to do.

Although the military in Youzhou is now under Gongsun Zan's control, under Gongsun Zan's suggestion, Gongsun Xu has nearly 5000 troops under his command.Including the 3000 white horses under Zhao Yun, these 4000 people are actually a team with the [-] white horses under Gongsun Zan, but they are divided into two teams. There were [-] soldiers in the Qinbattalion, Guan Yu commanded [-] infantry, Huang Zhong commanded [-] archers, and the remaining [-] were veterans of the army under Commander Yan Liangwen Chou. They participated in many grassland battles and were absolutely strong.

After staying in the barracks for a month, Gongsun Xu began to receive news that Zhang Jiao was about to rebel. In February, an apprentice named Tang Zhou of Zhang Jiao informed him that Ma Yuanyi and Zhang Jiao of Taiping Road were about to rebel. On that day, Ma Yuanyi was torn apart by a car. The officers and soldiers vigorously arrested and killed believers who believed in Taiping Dao, implicating more than a thousand people, and ordered Jizhou to hunt down Zhang Jiao.

Zhang Jiao had no choice but to raise his troops in advance.Zhang Jiao claimed to be "General Tiangong", and Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were "General Digong" and "General Rengong" respectively, and they rebelled in the northern Jizhou area.They burned government offices, killed officials, and looted everywhere. Within a month, wars broke out in 28 counties in seven prefectures across the country.

Seeing that Taiping Dao was so powerful, Emperor Ling of the Han ordered He Jin to train the army to guard the capital in a hurry. He also ordered Hangu Pass, Dagu Pass, Guangcheng Pass, Yique Pass, Shenyuan Pass, Revolving Gate Pass, Mengjin Pass and Xiaopingjin Pass to set up captains. Garrison; issued an edict to strictly guard all over the country, ordered all states and counties to prepare for battle, train soldiers, order weapons, and call in rebels. Qiang also wrote a letter requesting that the party ban be lifted, and Emperor Ling of Han immediately agreed.

At the same time, the three major Zhonglang generals in the court were sent to suppress the Yellow Turban rebellion.Lu Zhi led the deputy general Zong Yuan and led the five schools of the Northern Army to take charge of the northern front, dealing with Zhang Jiao's main force; Huang Fusong and Zhu Jun each led an army, controlling the five schools, Sanhe knights and newly recruited elite warriors, a total of more than 4 people , Crusade against the Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan area, Zhu Jun went to the table to recruit Sun Jian from Xiapi as the assistant army Sima, led the young people from the same village and recruited various merchants and elite soldiers from Huaishui and Surabaya. A total of more than 4000 people set out to join Zhu Junjun military.

Within a month, the world was in turmoil. Gongsun Xu was already ready to send troops to suppress it, but suddenly received the intention of colluding with the central Xianbei and the Xiongnu in the frontier, and the two began to gather troops. frontier.

Helpless, Gongsun Xu had no choice but to let Yan Liangwen, Chou, and Huang Zhong lead their respective armies to follow his father, and then led [-] White Horse Yicong, [-] Suppressed Camps, and [-] ordinary soldiers to suppress the Yellow Turban Army. The army was given to Gongsun Xu, but Gongsun Xu refused, and also transferred some of his personal soldiers Gao Shun's trap camp, Zhao Yun's Baima Yicong and Zhang Fei's heavy cavalry to Gongsun Zan, and left the tricks to his father. , Served as Gongsun Zan's military adviser.

As for the Youzhou base camp, at the suggestion of Gongsun Xu, Gongsun Zan appointed Jushou and Shenpei invited by Gongsun Xu to serve as the prefects of Daijun and Shanggu Commanderies to rectify the military and appease the people. He also appointed Tian Feng as the governor of Youzhou to pay attention to civil affairs. Gongsun Zan handed over the military power of Youzhou to Zou Dan and Guan Jing, and ordered the recently promoted Yan Gang, Tian Kai, and Shan Jing to assist him.

Gongsun Xu made adjustments to the army before his expedition. Except for Zhao Yun and Gao Shunwai who each commanded 1000 men, Dian Wei commanded [-] soldiers, Zhang Fei commanded [-] ordinary cavalry, Guan Yu commanded [-] infantry, and Gongsun Xu commanded [-] soldiers. Baima Yicong.After the swearing-in meeting, the army marched out to conquer the Yellow Turban Army near Youzhou. "The world is finally going to be chaotic." Gongsun Xu looked at the sky and thought silently in his heart.
