The Liaodong Iron Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 17 Zhang Fei to the Yellow Turban

One day in July 183 A.D., Zhang Fei, whom Huo Yu had been looking forward to day and night, finally arrived. Su Shuang, Zhang Shiping and 7 Wuheng horses arrived together. The extra 600 horses were Su and Zhang. Huo Yu is not hypocritical, don't want it in vain.In the big tent, Huo Yu, Dian Wei, Zhang Fei, Su Shuang, and Zhang Shiping mingled with each other. When receiving the toast, they asked, "Brother Yide, can you find someone with a red face and a beautiful beard?" There has been no news for a long time, and I, Lao Zhang, can’t eat well or sleep well, so your brother must give me a few jars of wine.” Huo Yu smiled and nodded in agreement, and said in his heart: “Oh, it’s still with Brother Guan. No chance, forget it, Liu Da Er also needs a helper, right?"

When the wine was on the rise, Zhang Fei yelled loudly that Huo Yu was not good enough to be a brother, so he didn't want to send him a few more altars. Dian Wei had heard his lord say that Zhang Fei was excellent in martial arts, so he took this opportunity to drink with Zhang Fei to compete, and the two hit it off immediately , immediately took the weapon and went out of the account.Su and Zhang looked at each other and were about to say something but were interrupted by Huo Yu: "Don't worry, it will be after 150 rounds for the two of them to decide the winner. Let's continue." After speaking, he picked up the wine cup He finished it in one gulp, and then said slowly: "Brother Su, Brother Zhang, I want to bother the two elder brothers again, and help me get some iron, can I?"

"I don't know if you are in a hurry? I will do my best if you need me."

"Don't hide it from the two elder brothers, just deliver it before the New Year's Eve."

"In this way, the two of us will definitely be able to deliver on time."

Outside the big tent, Zhang Fei, Dian and Wei had already fought together, and the two of them were head-to-head when they came and went. Such a loud noise naturally attracted many people to watch.Seeing Zhang Fei stabbing with a spear, Dian Wei set up his double halberds to meet and block, without any fancy movements, the most direct collision caused sparks to fly, and the soldiers around couldn't help but gasped, what did Dian Wei do to them? Most clearly, but now there is another person similar to Dian Wei, who should be equally ugly and black, the two seem to be on equal footing.

"Haha, happy, my old Zhang hasn't been this happy for a long time, come on, come on, let's fight for another 300 rounds"

"Hey, it's been a long time since I, Lao Dian, have met anyone with comparable strength. I'm afraid you won't succeed."

The two of them fought together, and Dang Dang Dang Dang must cause a loud noise every time the weapon collision between the two sides. some distance. After a "click", Zhang Fei threw away the broken spear, complaining that the weapon was not in his hand, and wanted to fight with Dian Wei empty-handed and bare-chested, but Dian Wei did not back down. I don't know how many rounds, Zhang Fei's physical strength gradually became weaker, and he jumped out of the battle ring and shouted loudly: "Dian Heizi, my old Zhang is not as skilled as others, do you have the courage to drink?" Dian Wei looked at Huo Yu and saw Huo Yu smiling Nodding, he stepped forward and pulled Zhang Fei and said, "Whoever is afraid of being a coward, go and fight for wine."

When Huo Yu was about to turn around, a guard of the palace rushed over, "My lord, the angel has arrived, Lord Hou and the Prime Minister of the country, let you return to the mansion quickly to receive the order."

As soon as these words came out, Huo Yu said: "Brother Dian, Brother Yide, Brother Su, and Brother Zhang will be handed over to you, please treat them well, I will come whenever I go."

"No," Dian Wei responded.

Immediately Huo Yu went with the guards of the palace. When he arrived at the palace, he saw his adoptive father and the Prime Minister Luo Jun talking with an old man, and then went forward to salute. See you soon."

"Boy Huo Yu has seen Wang Engage"

"Hahaha, don't be too polite, there are no outsiders here, go take a bath and change clothes and prepare to burn incense. It is important to receive the imperial edict."

Half an hour later, Huo Yu was ready, and Wang Yun immediately proclaimed the decree: "In the sixth year of Han Guanghe, Emperor Ling issued an edict, Prince Chen's righteous son offered wine and made contributions to the peace of the people, and he was specially named the captain of Chen Guo." Before Huo Yu could thank Wang Yun, he added : "Your Majesty sent me here this time to announce the decree, and to ask for wine, did you ever know?" Huo Yu hurriedly nodded in agreement, and said in his heart: "Wine can make the emperor an official!" That night, Liu Chong held a banquet in the palace During the reception for Wang Yun and his party, Wang Yun praised Huo Yu several times for being a genius. Now that Huo Yu's masterpiece has been spread all over the capital, it's just that this daughter Hong can't supply it.Huo Yu hurriedly said: "Uncle Wang, I have sent someone to seal up all the stored wine. Except for the tribute wine, I will trouble Uncle Wang to bring the rest of the wine back to the capital. I have my own arrangements for my father-in-law and Uncle Lu." Wang Yun laughed loudly. My nephew is smart.

At the end of 183 A.D., Su and Zhang came here as promised to deliver iron and iron. Huo Yu hurriedly arranged for craftsmen to make weapons and armor, and told them not to travel far. Activities on the Taiping Road are becoming more and more common. If you feel at ease, you can bring your family. Chen Guo lives.From winter to spring, Chen Guo has cleared the Taiping Road under the leadership of Luo Jun. During this year, Huo Yu secretly trained 1 crossbowmen, each equipped with a rhubarb crossbow, a Han sword, and a leather armor. sets, dozens of crossbows and arrows; 500 sword and shield soldiers, equipped with a ring sword, a pair of leather iron shields, and a leather armor; 1000 cavalry, equipped with horses, leather armor, bows and arrows.Everything is ready, but Dongfeng owes it to Huo Yu, who waited anxiously for the first step in the troubled times.

In February 184 AD in Luoyang, Tang Zhou, a disciple of Zhang Jiao, reported on Zhang Jiao, and said that he himself followed Luoyang's generous leader Ma Yuanyi in Luoyang, joined forces with eunuchs Feng Xuan and Xu Feng as internal responses, and agreed to attack both internally and externally on March 2. royal palace.Emperor Ling was furious, and ordered to arrest Che Lima Yuanyi, and put Feng Qiao and Xu Feng into prison. They obeyed. Luoyang officers and soldiers arrested and killed believers who believed in Taiping Dao, implicating more than a thousand people, and ordered Jizhou to hunt down Zhang Jiao and others. Fang Huangjin leader.When the news came back to Julu, Zhang Jiao and others were shocked.

"Brother, Tang and Zhou made a report, Yuan Yi was torn apart by a car, thousands of believers were killed, and we were also wanted, what should we do now?" Zhang Jiao's second brother, Zhang Bao, asked hastily.

Hearing this, Zhang Jiao sighed and said, "Heaven will not bless me, no matter, the matter has come to this point, Yuan Yi's blood cannot be shed in vain, the second and third younger brothers immediately notify all parties, Qu Shuai, to start the incident ahead of time."

Since Zhang Jiao founded Taiping Dao, he has used religion to win people's hearts and established prestige among poor peasants, with hundreds of thousands of followers.Taking advantage of his right to speak in the hearts of the people, Zhang Jiao divided the believers in the eight prefectures of Qing, Xu, You, Ji, Jing, Yang, Yan, and Henan into 36 parties, with more than 7000 people in the big party and 3 people in the small party. Yiqu Shuai, on March 5, Zhang Jiao launched an army against the Han with the slogan "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should be established, the year is Jiazi, and the world is prosperous". Zhang Jiao called himself "General Tiangong", and his second brother Zhang Bao called "Di Gong" "General", the third brother Zhang Liang is called "General Rengong". The rebel army attacked the prefectures and counties, burned the government buildings, and confiscated the wealth of the rich. Officials from all over the country fled after hearing the news.

In the Luoyang Palace, Emperor Ling of Han was furious while sitting on the dragon chair, "Waste, waste, even a group of rebels can't be dealt with, what use is it for me to support you."

Seeing that the situation was tense, Emperor Ling appointed He Jin as a general, and led the five battalions of the left and right Yulin to guard the capital with full weapons.From Hangu Pass, Dagu, Guangcheng, Yique, Shenyuan, Revolving Gate, Mengjin, Xiaopingjin and other Kyoto passes, captains were set up to garrison, and an edict was ordered to recruit volunteers to fight against thieves.

Huangfu Song appealed to ask for the lifting of the ban on the party, and donated money from the palace and good horses from the West Garden to the sergeants to boost morale. Lu Qiang then said to Emperor Ling: "The disaster of the party ban has accumulated grievances for a long time. If it conspires with the Yellow Turban, I'm afraid There is no salvation." So Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty pardoned the party members and asked the ministers to donate money, food, and materials. At the same time, he ordered Lu Zhi to lead the deputy general Zong Yuan to lead the five school soldiers of the Northern Army to take charge of the northern front and fight Zhang Jiao's main force. Huangfusong and Zhu Jun each led an army, controlling more than 4 elite soldiers who had just been recruited, and crusaded against the Yellow Turban Army in the Yingchuan area.
