At the end of the dynasty, most of the capital was in turmoil, and the same was true for the Han Dynasty.

The vigorous Yellow Turban Uprising was just suppressed and the court had not yet taken a breath, a large-scale rebellion broke out in Liangzhou.

In the fourth year of Zhongping, the entire Liangzhou area fell, and the governor of Liangzhou Geng Bi and the prefect of Hanyang Fu Xie were killed in battle one after another.

Not only Liangzhou.

In the same year, Zhang Chun, a native of Yuyang County, and Zhang Ju, joined forces with the Hu people of the Wuhuan tribe, launched a rebellion in Youzhou. Wuhuan's captain Ji Chou, Youbeiping prefect Liu Zheng, and Liaodong prefect Yang were all killed in battle.

In addition, the remnants of the Yellow Turbans have been one after another, entrenched in various parts of the Central Plains, without any production, and making a living by looting, leaving counties and counties in various places exhausted.

The Han Dynasty, which had been standing for four hundred years, was in a shaky state.

This is the current situation.

Anyway, the situation is in chaos!

There is a saying that, "The more you don't want something to happen, the easier it will happen"!

Therefore, the chaos in the world not only did not ease, but instead became more and more intense.

...

In the fifth year of Zhongping, spring.

Taiyuan Jinyang.

"What?"

Zhang Yi suddenly stood up, pointed at the soldiers who came to report the information and asked:

"You say it again!"

"Empress!"

The soldier bowed and reported:

"There were rebellions in Baibo Valley, Hexi, including the Yellow Turban Thiefs Guo Da and others. At first, there were less than 10,000 people. In ten months, they took over 100,000 thieves and continued to expand, spreading towards Taiyuan and Hedong!"

"In ten months, I have been carrying hundreds of thousands of people?"

Zhang Yi was stunned.

"Hurry, please send orders to the county magistrates in various places to dispatch troops and generals, and be sure to wipe out Guo Da and other thieves as soon as possible!"

Zhang Yi ordered loudly.

This Yellow Turban Thief is really like a weed. No matter how you kill it, you can’t kill it. There are hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands. How can it be if it continues for a long time?

However, just as Zhang Yi rushed to send troops and generals, the Xiutu Hu tribe in Bingzhou launched a large-scale rebellion.

The entire Bingzhou area was in war.

The first to be affected is the Bingzhou capital of Jinyang, Taiyuan.

Before Zhang Yishang could send troops to suppress the Yellow Turban thieves such as Guo Da, he was surrounded by the Xiu Tuhu army.

In March, after more than ten days of fierce battle, Zhang Yi was outnumbered and was beheaded by Xiu Tu Hu people in Jinyang, Taiyuan.

...

Jiuyuan County.

Lufu.

"Is Zhang Yi dead in battle?"

Lu Bu sat upright and asked Cao Xing.

“That’s right!”

Cao Xing clasped his fists and reported:

"Don't slaughter the Hu people and besiege the city. Zhang Yi led his troops to fight for more than ten days, and the city was finally destroyed!"

"It turned out to be a fight to the death, and was outnumbered to death?"

Lu Bu murmured to himself.

Historical books do not record how Zhang Yi died.

But this rebellion of the Hu people was determined in advance, so it was always under Lu Bu's surveillance.

So, he knew that Zhang Yi died with dignity.

After all, he died in battle.

Outnumbered, no one surrendered, and the city fell and the entire army was destroyed.

"This is a strong man!"

Lu Bu thought silently in his heart.

No matter how chaotic the administration is, how dark the officialdom is, and how corrupt the court is, in terms of backbone and blood and courage, there are not many dynasties in China that can be compared with the Han Dynasty.

Not only Zhang Yi, but also people like Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou, and Fu Xie, the prefect of Hanyang, were they also killed in battle?

There are also high-ranking officials such as Youzhou, Wuhuan School Commander Ji Chou, Youbeiping Prefect Liu Zheng, Liaodong Prefect Yang, etc., who were all killed in battle.

Unlike the later Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, when they encountered such rebels who were overthrowing the city, there were often countless officials who abandoned the city and fled, or even surrendered the city.

Moreover, usually the greater the official position, the faster the surrender!

But in the Han Dynasty, the higher the official, the stronger the backbone, the stronger the blood and courage, and there is no saying that you will escape in the battle!

No matter what danger you face, you will fight to the end!

This kind of character and blood courage buried deep in the bloodline is not comparable to that of the later Tang Dynasty.

Rule man is not useless!

At least, when the moral level has not declined, everyone is conscious and united, which contains the potential of terrifying.

Of course, as the moral level develops, it will inevitably become more and more degenerate, and it will not be possible.

Therefore, later generations basically abandoned the rule of man. This thing is too idealistic and too ethereal. Once the heart is unconscious, it will collapse immediately and be filled with rituals and music.

"What a pity!"

After sighing quietly, Lu Bu looked in a trance.

No one knows what he is thinking at the moment, what a pity.

After a long time, when he came to his senses, Lu Bu ordered:

"Kanzhi, send more people to pay close attention to the progress of things, especially the trends in Luoyang!"

"promise!"

Cao Xing held his fist and took the order away.

...

Guo Da and other Yellow Turban Thiefs did not continue to expand.

The county magistrates from all over the country dispatched troops and led their troops to the battle in person, and soon they wiped out these rebels.

After all, the Yellow Turban Thief is just a group of hungry people who cannot survive. They are pale and thin, weak all over, and dance with farm tools and wooden sticks, without any combat power.

How could such a bandit be a good Han army rival with well-equipped and many generals?

However, the Hushu people had great combat power, and the county magistrates in various places were few and few generals, which was difficult to resist.

In this case, the court had to send people to support him.

He was appointed as the governor of Bingzhou and was appointed as the commander of the cavalry commander and led his troops into Bingzhou.

Zhi Jinwu is a general who is better than the nine ministers.

Ding Yuan was born in a poor family, had great strategy, good military power, and was brave in fighting. He always led the way and became a famous general of the world.

When Ding Yuan first entered Bingzhou, he fought with the Xiu Tuhu people one after another, fought and conquered continuously, and soon recovered Shangdang and Xihe counties.

...

June.

Ding Yuan led 5,000 people to set out towards Jinyang, Taiyuan.

Although there were many Hu people, the Han army had always been strong in combat, and five thousand people were enough!

However, on the way, he was ambushed by the main force of the Xiu Tu Hu people.

Tens of thousands of people besieged, and even though Ding Yuan himself was brave and well-equipped, he was in danger.

"How did these Hushu Tuhu learn about our army's route?"

Ding Yuan, who had just returned from fighting, looked at the dense crowd of Xiu Tu Hu people around him, and was puzzled.

This time he marched into Jinyang, Taiyuan, was quite secret. He originally planned to catch the Hu people off guard and take the opportunity to recover Taiyuan County.

Unexpectedly, I suddenly encountered a hiding place on the way, with 5,000 pairs and tens of thousands of people trapped here.

"well!"
