Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 44 The Yellow Turban Uprising
At this time, there were three brothers in Lujun, Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang.He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to rebel.

It turned out that Zhang Jiao was originally a talented scholar. Because he went to the mountains to collect herbs, he met an old Taoist with blue eyes and a childlike face, holding a quinoa stick.
"These three books are called "Taiping Essentials". After you get them, today's heaven will enlighten the people and save all sentient beings. I hope you can make good use of these three books to benefit the people."

Hearing what the visitor said, Zhang Jiao hurriedly went down to ask the old man, "I am not talented, I am grateful to the old man for giving him the heavenly book, and I dare not think anything wrong. I just hope that the old man will leave his name, so that the old man can pay homage sooner or later. "

The old man nodded slightly after hearing Zhang Jiao's words.He replied: "I am the old fairy of Nanhua."

After finishing speaking, the old Taoist melted into a gust of breeze and blew away.

Zhang Jiao got three volumes of "Taiping Essentials After Surgery", and studied day and night. After a few years, he gradually became able to call the wind and call the rain.

But at this time, when the Yellow River was on the verge of destruction and the plague was rampant, Zhang Jiao led his disciples to spread talisman water to treat people's diseases, and he called himself a "great virtuous teacher".

Zhang Jiao originally had more than 36 disciples, who traveled all over the world, and all of them were able to write talismans and recite mantras.But as Zhang Jiao gradually became famous, there were more disciples and believers.So Zhang Jiao established [-] parties to manage the believers.Among them, there are more than [-] people in Dafang, and six or seven thousand people in Xiaofang. They also established Qu Shuai.And secretly spread the slogan "When the sky is dead, the yellow sky should be established; when the year is Jiazi, the world will be prosperous."Before long, people from the eight prefectures of Qing, You, Xu, Ji, Jing, Yang, Yan, and Henan all served the great virtuous teacher Zhang Jiao.

When Zhang Jiao saw that the Yellow River broke its embankment, the plague spread everywhere, and the people rebelled one after another.I felt that it was time to eliminate the Han dynasty.

So he sent Ma Yuanyi, his confidant, to secretly bribe and make friends with the eunuch Feng Xuan, and let Feng Xuan act as an internal response.I want to wipe out the Han Dynasty in one fell swoop and establish my own Yellow Turban Dynasty at the right time.

However, although the Great Han has declined, it is still a palace that many people yearn for.What Zhang Jiao never imagined was that Tang Zhou, Zhang Jiao's disciple, was such a person who yearned to join the Great Han Temple one day and stand tall on it.

Just when Zhang Jiao sent Tang Zhou with a letter to Feng Qiao to rebel together.Tang Zhou was secretly glad that he finally found the way to enter the temple of the Han family.

So not long after, Tang Zhou reported Zhang Jiao's group's attempt to the Han Dynasty.Ma Yuanyi and other elite Yellow Turbans who were preparing to cooperate with Feng Xuan in the capital to take down the Han Dynasty court in one fell swoop were all beheaded by the Han Dynasty because of Tang Zhou's betrayal.

After Zhang Jiao knew that the matter had been leaked, he raised his troops starry night and called himself "General Tiangong", Zhang Bao, his second brother, "General Digong", and Zhang Liang, the third, "General Rengong".

People from all over the world heard Zhang Jiao's name, and they all responded one after another, wrapped in yellow scarves.For a time, they gathered 50 million people and successively attacked various states and counties.This is the famous "Yellow Turban Uprising" in history.

When Lu Bu came to Ding Yuan's study that day, he saw Ding Yuan holding a volume of documents in his hand, in a daze, and his sad face made Ding Yuan look much older.Lu Bu hurriedly stepped forward and asked:

"Father, why bother, let the child share the worries for the father."

When Ding Yuan heard Lu Bu come in, his expression softened a little, and he said:
"Nowadays, the Yellow River sleeps just past,"

"Nowadays the Yellow Turbans have rebelled and the world is in chaos. Who knows that He Jin, who is ignorant and inexperienced, actually encouraged the emperor to issue an edict to let all regions recruit troops to defend the Yellow Turbans. In this way, it is inevitable for the local princes to support themselves. When the Yellow Turbans are wiped out, I'm afraid this is the beginning of chaos in the world."

Hearing Ding Yuan's words, Lu Bu was startled at first.Has the Yellow Turban Rebellion already started?It seems that Lu Bu should also do something for this coming troubled world.

Different from Ding Yuan's worried face, Lu Bu was excited but eager to try.However, Lu Bu dared not let Ding Yuan see this. If Ding Yuan knew that Lu Bu was looking forward to the coming of troubled times, it would be strange if he didn't talk about Lu Bu properly.

At this time, Lu Bu also put on a worried expression, and said to Ding Yuan:

"Since the matter is already like this, father doesn't have to worry too much. The top priority must be to eliminate the Yellow Turban rebels first. The court also came up with such a nondescript method because the Yellow Turbans were rampant and officers and soldiers were unable to resist for a while."

After hearing Lu Bu's words, Ding Yuan seemed a little more relaxed.Self-comforting: "I hope my worry is too much."

At this time, Lu Bu took over the words and said: "Whether father is worried or not, it is right to make some preparations. Didn't the imperial court ask all places to recruit troops for defense? Father, why not take this opportunity to recruit more soldiers and horses, in case the imperial court uses it When I get it, my father can also fight for the court and share the worries of His Majesty."

After hearing Lu Bu's suggestion, Ding Yuan took it very seriously.Nodding his head, he said, "You're right, it's time for us to make more preparations."

Although Lu Bu said so, in fact, what he thought in his heart was that when he was in Bingzhou, he could master more soldiers and horses, so he could master more soldiers and horses.This is the capital for Lu Bu to fight for hegemony in the future.

Just when Lu Bu was thinking about it secretly, he felt a sharp gaze looking at him.When Lu Bu raised his head, he happened to meet Ding Yuan's eyes.

When he saw the owner of the sharp gaze that he felt, Ding Yuan.Lu Bu secretly sighed in his heart.As the saying goes: "There is no one who knows a son like a father." Lu Bu and Ding Yuan have lived together for the past few years. With Ding Yuan's maturity and prudence, did he not see Lu Bu's ambition at all?Lu didn't think that Ding Yuan had discovered his ambition, but he was still not sure.

Just now, Lu Bu's eagerness to recruit troops to expand his strength was too obvious.This inevitably aroused Ding Yuan's suspicion.Thinking of this, Lu Bu cupped his hands to Ding Yuan and said, "Father, my son has been in the army for a long time, and he knows very little about the customs and customs of various places. Now that the Yellow Turbans are in trouble, fortunately there is nothing serious in Bingzhou. My son wants to take advantage of this time , go out for a walk, and learn more about the sufferings of the common people. By the way, also practice hard. I also ask my father to agree."

Hearing that Lu Bu was leaving the army, Ding Yuan was taken aback when he went out to practice.Seeing Lv Bu looking at him, Ding Yuan smiled covertly and said, "It's a good thing that I want to go out to practice. It's just that the Yellow Turbans are in chaos and there are endless wars everywhere. If something happens in Bingzhou, wouldn't I be unavailable?"

Hearing Ding Yuan's words, Lu Bu smiled slightly and said, "My lord, Gao Shun's talent in commanding the army and training soldiers is ten million times better than that of a child. If there is any war in Bingzhou, there will be no worries with General Gao around. Several of my troops Generals Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng all have some skills, and they can also be used by General Gao. Father doesn't have to worry about anything."

In fact, Lu Bu's decision to leave Bingzhou for a period of time was also a temporary decision.Hearing that the Yellow Turbans rebelled, Lu Bu wanted to use this time to expand his troops.It's impossible for Ding Yuan to see Lu Bu's ambitions. Lu Bu doesn't want to have any conflicts with Ding Yuan at this time.Who knew that Ding Yuan, a loyal and patriotic old man, would first destroy his son who had been raised for several years for the sake of the Han Dynasty?

Anyway, Lu Bu originally planned to find some time to go to various places to look for those famous generals of the Three Kingdoms.It's better to take this opportunity and go out to look for famous generals.It can not only enhance one's own strength, but also eliminate Ding Yuan's vigilance, why not do it?

Seeing Lu Bu's affirmative gaze, Ding Yuan chuckled and said, "Okay, as the saying goes, read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. My son has this idea, and as a father, I wish you success in your experience."

With Ding Yuan's consent, Lu Bu hastily raised his hand to salute, and left.

Seeing Lu Bu go away, Ding Yuan shook his head and said to himself, "Could it be that I was wrong? This Lu Bu would voluntarily give up his military power. But at that time, I clearly saw his ambition."

Speaking of this, Ding Yuan sighed and said, "Maybe I've been working too hard lately, and I'm always suspicious. Is it possible that people will be more suspicious when they are old?"

Lu Bu returned to his residence and called Hou Cheng, Wei Xu and Song Xian to make some arrangements.road:

"Nowadays the world is in chaos, and the imperial court ordered all localities to recruit troops for defense. This move seems to be able to quickly strengthen the local power, so that the local area has the ability to deal with the attack of the Yellow Turban Army. But if you think about it carefully, once the local government has a huge military power, it will form a separatist regime. At that time, it will be even more difficult for the court to cut down the vassal. In addition, the court is already fighting for power and profit, and I am afraid that troubled times will come." Lu Bu said this, naturally hoping that the three people can understand the situation There are many, cultivate more strength in the army.Although Lu Bu left the army, it was only an expedient measure to retreat.It's not that I really want to surrender military power.

But with the quality of these three people, after listening to Lu Bu's words, they were a little confused.Wei Xu blinked his eyes and asked Lu Bu, "Since the world is about to be chaotic, why didn't the general stay in Hanoi and develop well? But he wanted to leave Bingzhou? Now that the Yellow Turban rebellion general is going out alone, I'm afraid it's not right. Why don't I go out with the general, so I can take care of him."

This Wei Xu could speak, so he took advantage of this moment to care for Lu Bu.

Seeing Wei Xu's performance, Hou Cheng on the side grinned and said, "With General Lu's martial arts skills, there are no opponents in the world. If you go out this time, you will only be able to abuse people. You need Wei Xu to take care of you there. Maybe if you go, not only will you not be able to take care of General Daolu, but it will become a drag instead."

Hearing the jokes between the two, Lu Bu also laughed and said, "You don't need to quarrel. This time I go out, not only to meet the heroes of the world, but also to make some like-minded friends. It happens to be a time of troubled times, but it is also a time when heroes come forth in large numbers. "

Hearing that Lu Bu said that he wanted to make friends with the heroes of the world, Song Xian hurriedly said: "I heard that there is a good man in the south of the city called Zang Ba, who is quite brave. I wonder if the general wants to go and see it?"

As soon as Song Xian mentioned Zang Ba, Wei Xuxian showed contempt and said: "It's just a villager, who can get into the eyes of General Lu. Such a small person, I, Wei Xu, just go and invite him."

As soon as Lu Bu heard Zang Ba's name, he felt very familiar, so he laughed and said, "Song Xian's proposal is very good. After I leave the city, I will go to the south of the city to have a look. In the future, if there are such talents, you should be the first to notify Me. If I'm not here, you have to find a way to invite someone to me first."

At this point, Lu Bu changed the subject: "After I leave, you must obey General Gao Shun's orders and protect Bingzhou well. Take good care of my father as well."

As soon as Lu Bu said this, the three of them hurriedly replied respectfully: "General, please rest assured, we will listen to General Gao's generals and handle everything properly."

After Lu Bu left Hanoi, he ran straight to the south of the city.Lu Bu is going to take a tour of Hebei now to see if he can get in touch with Hebei Sitingzhu.It's just that Lu Bu didn't know the origin of the Hebei Four Court Columns, so he could only take one step at a time.

Lu Bu came to a small village in the south of the city, and saw that the originally quiet and peaceful village had become devastated.Obviously something happened.
