The imperial capital was about to be broken, but the defenders fought bloody battles but gradually lost. Seeing that the Yellow Turban Army was about to gain the upper hand in the confrontation between the city gates, as long as a larger gap was opened, the Yellow Turban Army could swarm in and sweep the imperial city.

The sound of killing in the city was shocking. General He Jin on the city tower had already tightened the giant sword in his hand, and he was struggling in his heart with a blank expression.

When the imperial capital fell, I had no choice but to commit suicide to thank the emperor for his kindness.

The Yellow Turban Thief was a rebellion by civilians. If they entered the imperial city, from the emperor to the officials, they would probably die a bad death.

As a general, He Jin was in charge of the world's troops and horses. He was extremely powerful. When he was in danger, he suffered from the fall of the country. This was a gamble.

The world despises He Jin, a butcher who is a reckless butcher, who steals the high position based on his sister's appearance. He Jin himself admits that without the pillow of his sister Empress He, he would never be able to ascend to the throne of the general, but when the butcher said that, he was deeply disdainful.

His ancestors were indeed butchers, but He Jin has been learning literature and martial arts since elementary school, which is even better than the children of the gentry and wealthy families.

Slowly raising the giant sword in his hand, He Jin knew that the North City Gate could no longer be defended. The Yellow Turban Army pressed forward step by step, and one step of advancement and retreat was enough to decide victory or defeat.

Looking back at the majestic Changle Palace, He Jin closed his eyes and said secretly: Your Majesty, I have done my best. I can only repay the emperor's kindness in this life.

Thinking of the civil and military officials of the court and the eunuch who was favored by the emperor, He Jin showed a playful and sarcastic smile.

At this moment of danger, what are the civil and military officials doing? What are the eunuchs and attendants doing? Only He Jin stepped forward and guarded the last line of defense for the emperor!

Although I am defeated, I am worthy of Your Majesty!

I, He Jin, will not beg for surrender and escape, because I am the general who is in charge of the world's troops!

The Yellow Turban Army had broken through the defense line of the North Gate and would only take a moment to enter the imperial capital. He Jin knew that the situation was hopeless, so he sighed, raised his huge sword, intending to commit suicide to his country.

At the critical moment, He Jin stopped because he saw the rear of the Yellow Turban Army outside the city, and a cavalry suddenly appeared. The cavalry was like a wandering snake rushing left and right in the Yellow Turban Army, dispersing the army of tens of thousands of people, turning the earth upside down.

reinforcement?

He Jin put down his giant sword and stood at the top of the city to overlook the entire battlefield. At this moment, several reinforcements emerged from somewhere, and these reinforcements were almost all cavalry. Under the fierce attack, countless deaths of the Yellow Turban Army.

In the northwest of the battlefield, tens of thousands of iron armored warriors rushed towards him, their arrogance shook the sky, and tens of thousands of horses rushing down, the earth was shaking, and the momentum was like thunder.

Cao Cao, covered in blood and his armor was broken, rushed to the city tower and said anxiously when he saw He Jin: "General, reinforcements have arrived!"

He Jin's ambition was rekindled, holding the city wall with his hand, and said excitedly: "Okay, okay! Where did the reinforcements come from?"

Cao Cao answered truthfully: "The Sun family of Wu County led thousands of cavalry from Jiangdong, Tao Qian led eight thousand Danyang soldiers, Gongsun Zan from western Liaoning led three thousand white horses and Yicheng, Liu Yan from Youzhou led 10,000 troops, and Dong Zhuo from Liangzhou led 30,000 iron cavalry from western Liang."

Looking at the tens of thousands of iron cavalry coming from the northwest, the Yellow Turban Army was defeated like a mountain, He Jin was so excited that he could not calm down: Dong Zhongying, you saved this general and the great man!

"General, please let the last general lead the defenders in the city from the three gates in the east and west to pick up reinforcements. At this time, the Yellow Turban Army was defeated, and it was a god-given opportunity to kill them all." Cao Cao asked for a fight.

He Jin also knew that this was a time to reverse the situation, so he did not hesitate and sent an order: "Cao Cao obeyed the order and ordered you to lead 5,000 troops out of the south gate to meet the enemy. He sent Yuan Shao to bring 5,000 troops out of the east gate to fight. He sent Yuan Shu to bring 5,000 troops out of the west gate to fight to face the enemy. Be sure to defeat all the Yellow Turban rebels in one place!"

Soon, the other three gates of Luoyang City were opened. Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu led their troops out to meet the enemy. At this time, the victory and defeat of the battlefield had been reversed. The Yellow Turban Army had no resistance and only rushed to escape. Moreover, Zhang Jiao was already dead. Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao ordered the troops to withdraw their troops. As for where to retreat, they had never thought about it.

...

The Yellow Turban Army besieged Luoyang by 600,000 people. Seeing that the Han Dynasty was in decline, they failed and eventually failed to defeat the army and fled in all directions.

If Guo Jia was here, he would have lamented: When the storm and the heroes emerged, the princes from all directions would eventually step onto the stage of history at the most critical moment. People's plans could never defeat the will of heaven.

The mighty Yellow Turban rebellion was quickly suppressed. Although there were still rebellions in various places in the following years, it was not the case. Taipingdao planned an uprising that intended to subvert the Han Dynasty for more than ten years, and ended outside Luoyang City.

...

Ten days later, Yingchuan

In the suburbs late at night, Guo Jia sat cross-legged, drinking to relieve his sorrows, accompanied by the cool breeze, and his hair was flying lightly.

Zuo Ci, Xi Zhicai, and Xu Shu came to Guo Jia at the same time, and the three of them looked worried.

"Little Grandpa, the great wise and good teachers have come to heaven."

Although Yingchuan received news that the Yellow Turban Army had defeated the Luoyang City, he actually did not know the detailed situation. He roughly only learned that Dong Zhuo, Liu Yan, Gongsun Zan, Tao Qian and other reinforcements rushed to Luoyang City in time and lifted the encirclement of the imperial capital.

However, Zuo Ci looked at the celestial phenomena at night and calculated that Zhang Jiao was defeated. He did not say anything about it these days. Now he couldn't help it, and finally told Guo Jia.

Guo Jia didn't say anything, and his lowered head made people unable to see his expression, but there were faint crystal tears falling on the tip of his chin.

A scholar died for his confidant. Guo Jia didn’t understand in his previous life, but now he understands it.

Fourteen years of experience at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty made him understand the difficulties of this world and deeply felt the harshness of class.

It is hard for poor families to make their mark, and they often don’t even get the most basic respect in front of the gentry.

There are not many people in the world who know that Guo Jia is talented. But how do these people treat Guo Jia?

Xu Shu and Xi Zhicai went out of a poor family together, and it was understandable that they were devoted to being close friends.

The Xun family treated Guo Jia with sincerity and truth, but the invisible and intangible gap between the gentry and the poor family always existed.

In this era, the gentry monopolized the career of the officialdom, and the geniuses suppressed the poor children everywhere, not because they were jealous of the virtuous and capable, but just for the benefit of the family.

If Guo Jia wants to get support from the Xun family, he will be recommended by the Xun family unless he joins the Xun family and becomes an official in the future. If this is true, Guo Jia will change his status from a poor family into a gentry group, and his position will also change.

It is precisely for this reason that although Guo Jia has a deep personal relationship with Junjie of the Xun family, he always keeps a distance.

The appreciation of the wealthy Zhen family also moved Guo Jia, but it was just moved. In terms of its essence, Guo Jia deeply understood that the Zhen family also wanted to recruit him and use it for the Zhen family. Otherwise, how could Zhen Yi point his daughter to him? Marriages from wealthy families are driven by benefits, and the beauty of adulthood is just a naive delusion.

Only Zhang Jiao cherishes Guo Jia's talent and even wants to pass on his lifelong foundation to Guo Jia. This made Guo Jia feel even more excited that it is difficult to express.

The poor family members who are not talented are tempted by car, and it is hard to imagine that Taiping Road has a great foundation. Zhang Jiao is willing to entrust important tasks to Guo Jia, which shows his sincerity and also shows that Zhang Jiao knows how talented Guo Jia is. Guo Jia and Zhang Jiao are tacit, but they are both in love with each other.

It’s a pity that the bad luck in time is that Guo Jia’s destined Bole is not Zhang Jiao, but this friendship is enough to make Guo Jia remember it for his whole life.

Wiping away the tears in the corners of his eyes, Guo Jia raised his head and looked at Zuo Ci, Xi Zhicai, Xu Shu, and said softly: "Jia told everyone to laugh."

The three of them shook their heads. Seeing Guo Jia cheering up, a big rock hanging in their hearts finally fell. Zuo Ci turned around and left, and Xi Zhicai and Xu Shu sat down in front of Guo Jia.

"Now the siege of the imperial capital has been lifted, and the Taiping Road rebellion has been out of the ordinary. The people who traveled thousands of miles to the imperial capital to rescue the siege seem to be highly valued by the emperor." Xu Shu sighed deeply, stood up in times of danger, and heroes from all directions gathered. That scene was so spectacular.

After drinking a sip of wine, Guo Jia wiped his mouth and sneered: "Hmph, a wolf-like ambition. Taiping Dao rebelled, how can there be a land of peace in the world? His own family has a land of one acre and three parts of the land, but he went to Luoyang to resolve the difficulties of the imperial capital? He wasn't he trying to take the opportunity to establish fame and take power."

Xi Zhicai and Xu Shu were stunned for a moment, and then showed relief. Xu Shu sighed and said, "Your words awakened the people in your dreams. You can these people succeed when Feng Xiao sees it?"

Guo Jia sighed slightly and said, "This battle will be passed down all over the world, and the heroes who stand out in this battle will become famous all over the world. These people will naturally be in their pockets and no one can take them away. However, if they want to enter the court and take power, it will be a delusion. It won't take long to go where these people come from and where they will go."

Xi Zhicai disagreed with Guo Jia's statement and retorted: "It's a bad thing to say to filial piety. If the emperor does not value these loyal ministers who came to rescue the emperor, if the old things happen again in the future, who would come to solve the problems and worries for the emperor?"

Guo Jia chuckled and shrugged his lips without comment, then asked: "Then I ask you, who is the power in the court?"

Xi Zhicai thought for a moment and said, "Now the great power in the court has fallen into the hands of eunuchs and relatives."

Guo Jia then said: "During Emperor Huan, the first party and bribery disaster seized the power of the court officials. When Emperor Ling ascended the throne, the second party and bribery disaster made the gentry worse. Now, eunuchs and relatives of foreign power will be willing to do so? When Zhang Jiao raised an army in Jizhou, Emperor Ling ordered the lifting of the party and bribery. Now the gentry is seeing signs of revival, they will give opportunities to Dong Zhuo, Gongsun Zan, Liu Yan and others? The eunuchs also know what the outcome will be if they lose power, will eunuchs give others a chance? Besides, the general defended Luoyang in this battle, and his prestige is at its peak. Emperor Ling entrusted the safety of the imperial capital to the general, and the general does not let the emperor down. Do you think the emperor will reduce the power of the general? If not, how can outsiders have the opportunity to enter the court to take power?"

After listening to Guo Jia's analysis, Xi Zhicai was speechless, while Xu Shu said worriedly: "If these meritorious ministers who led their troops to Luoyang are neglected, they will be dissatisfied. If they return to their respective territories, they may feel unscrupulous."
