I am Li Shimin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 39 The Chaos Begins

The wheels of history are rolling, continuing the inherent track without stopping.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the political situation was unstable, with the dictatorship of foreign relatives and eunuchs, and the war against the Western Qiang lasted for decades, which cost a lot of money and forced military service.In addition, the phenomenon of land annexation is serious, and the people are in dire straits.It gave Zhang Jiao a huge opportunity for development.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Jiao combined his own medical skills with the content of the wonderful book "Taiping Yaoshu" to create the Taiping Dao, win over people's hearts in a religious way, and preached under the eyes of the Han Dynasty for more than ten years, with dozens of believers. Ten thousand.

…………

"Report to General Tiangong. At present, our believers are spread all over Qing, Xu, You, Ji, Jing, Yang, Yan, and Henan. They have been divided into 36 parties according to the general's intention. Let’s set up a handsome man.” A big man wearing a yellow scarf knelt on the ground and said.

"Very well, tell all the ministries that we will start the incident in March. The sky is dead, and the yellow sky will be established. The year is Jiazi, and the world will be prosperous. The Han court is cruel and unkind. Let the Yellow Turban Army establish a new state regardless of whether we wait for grassroots people to live or die. The world." A man wearing a yellow scarf and looking like a celestial master said enthusiastically.

This person is General Tiangong, and there are two brothers Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang under his command, "General Digong" and "General Rengong" respectively.

"To General Tiangong, Ma Yuanyi sent a letter from Luoyang, saying that the eunuch Feng Xu and Xu Feng have agreed to be the internal response, and killed the dog emperor in one fell swoop." Zhang Bao said flatteringly.

"Haha, God help me, it seems that the dog emperor is alive." Zhang Jiao was also very excited.

…………

A month later, when Zhang Jiao and others were preparing to rebel against the great cause in full swing, a bad news came from Luoyang.

The letter said, "A disciple named Tang Zhou informed about Ma Yuanyi, the inner secretary of the capital. people."

After Zhang Jiao heard the news, he was shocked, so he discussed with many of his confidants, and decided to start the incident immediately without delay.

For a while, the Yellow Turban Army burned down the government, killed officials, and looted everywhere. Within a month, wars broke out in 28 counties in seven prefectures across the country.

The Yellow Turban Army engulfed some refugees and rebelled. The number reached 50 million.

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty had been enjoying the good time in his comfort zone. Hearing the bad news, he no longer went to have fun. Under the advice of the surrounding ministers, he hurriedly appointed He Jin as the general on Wushen Day in March, and asked him to summon the soldiers from all over the world. Horses crusade against traitors.

This General He Jin was originally a pork seller, relying on his favored sister, he became a general in one step.

He Jin saw that the yellow turban was powerful and was about to reach the capital, so he hurriedly led the five battalions of Yulin to garrison at Duting, armed with weapons, and guarded the capital; At the gates of Shenyuan, Revolving Gate, Mengjin, Xiaopingjin, etc., the capital was stationed with captains.

In addition, he came up with a bad idea and issued an edict to "take strict precautions everywhere, order all states and counties to prepare for battle, train soldiers, prepare weapons, and call in rebels." There are many powerful and powerful people, and the chaotic status quo where the separatist regime is the king.

When the edict was passed to Yanmen County, Li Shimin realized that the troubled times had finally come, and the opportunity for his own rise had also appeared, so he immediately beat drums and gathered generals to prepare for the expedition.

Soon, Guan Yu, Zhang Liao, Hao Zhao, Gan Xinghan and other generals, as well as Xi Zhicai and Xu Shu all gathered in the lobby.Li Shimin passed on the edict to everyone for a while.

Everyone had different expressions. The generals looked excited, feeling that there was finally a battle to fight, while the two counselors frowned, as if they were thinking about something.

"The Yellow Turbans are in chaos. As the officials of the great Han Dynasty, we should share the worries of the country and help the country out of danger. Therefore, I decided to lead the army and horses of the headquarters to fight against the thieves."

"I am willing to follow the general (lord) to fight against the rebels and wipe out the banditry." Everyone clasped their fists and begged for orders.

"Let Hao Zhao be the chief general of Yanmen Pass, defend Yanmen, and prevent the Hu people from invading. Xu Shu is the chief bookkeeper of Yanmen, acting as the prefect of Yanmen. Guan Yu, Zhang Liao, Gan Xinghan and Xi Zhicai, the military division, will follow me on the expedition." Li Shimin ordered decisively. issued a general order.

Next, the entire barracks moved into action and began to prepare for the expedition.

But this time he went to Jizhou and ran for thousands of miles, Li Shimin decided to bring his own cavalry.The Yellow Turban Rebellion was massive, with several 10 troops engulfed in it. Their own forces were limited, so they could only avoid reality and adopt flexible and diverse tactics, accumulating small victories into big victories, using battles to support wars, and growing stronger in wars Own.

Moreover, according to Li Shimin's memory, Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang led the main force of the Yellow Turbans and were widely active in the Jizhou area. There were about 40 to [-] troops, a large number of people, although most of them were mobs.

The army goes out of Yanmen Pass, goes eastward along the Hutuo River, passes through Pingxing Pass and Hongshan Pass, and goes straight behind Julu, Guangping, and Guangzong.

Right now, there are 1 active cavalry in my hands, most of whom have experienced the Battle of Mayi, and have never lost to the barbarian bayonets. They are rare and elite troops.

Li Shimin decided to take them all away, and this match will definitely show the momentum of the Yanmen Army.

There are more than 1 cavalry, each with distinctive armor and excellent equipment. Li Shimin guided the blacksmiths in Yanmen County to forge the Datang Hengdao based on his previous life experience. The face is also extremely eye-catching, but because of limited time, only [-] are equipped.

In addition, Li Shimin also specially prepared a gift for the three generals, which is a highly defensive armor-Mingguang armor.I believe that under the protection of the treasure armor, several brave generals look forward to it even more.

Because of the metal round guards on the chest and back, this armor is polished extremely smooth, like a mirror, reflecting dazzling light under the sunlight, so it is called "Mingguang Armor".

The three of them were naturally very excited. Baojia was no less than a second life to a general, so they naturally cared about it very much.After the three thanked each other, they couldn't wait to change into the bright light armor, picked up their weapons and waved them around a few times, all showing satisfied expressions.

Seeing the three of them wearing precious armor and holding magic weapons, they immediately felt murderous and heroic. In addition, the three of them were originally burly people, and they looked extraordinarily mighty under the armor. Li Shimin was also very satisfied.

On the second day, the cavalry battalion under Li Shimin's command was ready to go, and the [-] light cavalry were neatly armored and the momentum was like a rainbow. Li Shimin rode his green horse and started a new step to conquer the world...
