At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the rulers were corrupt and incompetent, relatives and eunuchs took over one after another, and the government was in turmoil. The war between the imperial court and the Western Qiang lasted for decades, with huge costs and heavy corvee military service. In addition, the phenomenon of land annexation was serious, and the people were in dire straits.
At this time, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out in the eight states of Qing, Xu, You, Ji, Jing, Yang, Yan, and Henan, and the court was busy suppressing the rebellion. Due to various reasons, the Qiang people in the north finally found an opportunity to plunder the Han Dynasty.
.
The Beidi first eliminated Qiang and other external rebellions, and established Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou as generals. Then they killed Leng Zheng, the guarding Qiang captain. Later, they won over Jincheng people Bian Yun and Han Yue, killed Jincheng prefect Chen Yi, and attacked Shaozhou.
In the county, he also defeated Zuo Chang, the governor of Liangzhou, and engaged in Gai Xun, protecting Qiang school captain Xia Yu, etc.
When the Eastern Han Dynasty court was busy resolving its own internal strife, the Qiang people in the northwest, like a hungry wolf, finally showed their fangs.
"It's unreasonable. How dare these barbarians attack our great Han..." The Qiang tribe's wanton seizure in Liangzhou completely shattered Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong's idea of ​​counterattacking the Yellow Turbans. At this time, Han Ling Emperor was furious.
"How dare they..." The angry Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty didn't even pay much attention to his own image at this moment. He kept cursing in the hall and even threw a large pile of memorials in front of him away.
.
"Your Majesty, for the current plan, we must send troops to quell these Qiang barbarians as soon as possible." Situ Wang Yun slightly reminded Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.
"Pass the decree to confer the title of Huang Fusong as General of Zuoqi Cavalry and Marquis of Huaili, and immediately lead one hundred thousand troops to Liangzhou to put down the Qiang rebellion." Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "The rest of the Yellow Turban War
Anyone who has made meritorious service can come to the imperial capital as soon as possible to hear the reward from the marquis."
Chariot General is the name of a high-ranking general in ancient China. Made in Han Dynasty, with gold seal and purple ribbon. It is ranked second to the General and Hussar General, and above the General of Wei and the front, rear, left and right generals, it ranks higher than Qing.
, or compared to San Gong.
In this battle to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Huangfu Song's role was far less than that in the original history, but it was still remarkable. With Huangfu Song's merits and qualifications, a left-hand cavalry general
There are more than enough seats.
At present, Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong was obviously eager to let Huangfu Song directly lead his troops to Liangzhou to quell the Qiang rebellion. Therefore, he directly gave Huangfu Song the reward without having to go to the imperial capital Luoyang first like others.
"Your Majesty, I have a candidate for this old slave. If he assists General Zuo Chaqi, it will be easy to put down the Qiang rebellion." Zhang Rang added slightly at the right time.
"Oh! Father Rang, who is he? Please tell me quickly." Shi Chang was the personal attendant of Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong, so he naturally won Liu Hong's trust. Therefore, as soon as he heard Zhang Rang's words, Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong
Hong also showed a hint of interest.
"Your Majesty, Dong Zhuo, the governor of Hedong, is a native of Liangzhou. He has suppressed Qiang and Hu rebellions many times and suppressed the Qiang and Hu. If Dong Zhuo, the governor of Hedong, assists General Huangfu, he will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort."
During these days, Dong Zhuo showed quite a lot of filial piety to Zhang Rang. Zhang Rang had always been principled in doing things. Since the filial piety from others had arrived, he had to do things properly himself. Therefore, Zhang Rang then presented himself to Zhang Rang.
Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong mentioned Dong Zhuo.
"How did Dong Zhuo perform in this battle?" Emperor Han Ling was still somewhat impressed by Dong Zhuo.
"Your Majesty, Governor Dong's generals were killed...in the battle of Jizhou...and Governor Dong also made great efforts in killing the yellow turban thief Zhang Liang this time." Zhang Rang replied flatteringly.
Zhang Rang deserves to be one of the Ten Constant Attendants. Although Dong Zhuo was involved in these things, Zhang Rang directly exaggerated Dong Zhuo's role a lot, and even directly described Dong Zhuo as a core figure.
"The decree is sent to Dong Zhuo to temporarily take over the post of governor of Liangzhou. If Dong Zhuo can defeat Dong Zhuo this time, I will give you a heavy reward." The first part is not important, but the credit of killing Zhang Liang is what really made Han Ling Emperor Liu
Hong was very happy for Dong Zhuo. Therefore, this reward was a bit bigger.
"In addition, Liu Dai was granted the title of Mu of Yanzhou, Tao Qian was made Mu of Xuzhou, and Huang Wan was made Mu of Yuzhou, and the three of them were ordered to take office immediately to stabilize the place."
As for the three states of Yanyu and Xu, although most of them were occupied by the Yellow Turbans, Liu Hong naturally ignored the remaining half. Therefore, Liu Hong sent Liu Dai, Tao Qian and Huang Wan to serve as the three states.
Zhou Mu.
Of course, Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong did not expect these three people to achieve anything. As long as they could hold on to the remaining territory of the Three Prefectures and not allow the Yellow Turbans to expand further, it would be enough.
With the decree of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, it marked that the Yellow Turban War, which lasted for nearly two years from the beginning of last year until now, was finally basically over.
The reason why it can only be said that it is generally over is because wars still occur from time to time in Nanyang and Bingzhou.
With insufficient information, Chi You still took things for granted. In Chi You's view, Zhang Mancheng's forces occupying Nanyang will still be an important force in the Yellow Turbans in the future.
But Zhang Mancheng's situation was not very good at this time. Ding Yuan was guarding the pass in front of him. Zhang Mancheng racked his brains and couldn't think of a way to break the pass. Instead, he kept losing troops. It can be said that Zhang Mancheng almost suffered a head injury at this heroic pass.
.
Later, with Liu Yu's help, Liu Biao finally gathered the power of various noble families in Jingzhou and initially secured his position as Jingzhou's pastor.
Then, at Liu Yu's suggestion, Liu Biao directly turned from defense to offense, using the newly recovered Wenpin as his general, supplemented by generals Wei Yan, Huang Zhong and others, to directly launch a series of counterattacks against Zhang Mancheng.
Huang Zhong, who was in his prime, was really brave. He not only led the troops to charge several times, but Zhang Mancheng fled hastily and did not dare to look south. Then, Huang Zhong even used his magic shooting skills, shooting continuously.
The yellow turban's 18 military flags frightened Zhang Mancheng so much that he only dared to close the city and defend, instead of going out to fight easily.
Huang Zhong's bravery also completely impressed Liu Biao and Liu Yu. Both brothers started to win over Huang Zhong in various ways, and this also allowed Huang Zhong, a famous veteran in original history, to show his talents in his prime.
His edge.
Zhang Mancheng was also lucky. Under the pressure of the Xiang family, Liu Yu had no choice but to divide his troops and go to Jingnan to fight. This is the reason why Zhang Mancheng has been surviving until now.
As for Wang Qing in Bingzhou, he was no better than Zhang Mancheng. Although at the beginning, Qin Qiong and Su Lie did not have enough troops to completely defeat Wang Qing's forces.
However, at Su Lie's suggestion, the Bingzhou Army directly launched a strategy of attrition against Wang Qing's army. A sneak attack today would wipe out hundreds of enemies, and a small battle tomorrow would wipe out hundreds more enemies.
After such a long period of time, Wang Qing couldn't stand it any longer. However, Wang Qing was blocked by the Hu Pass guarded by Qin Qiong. Later, Su Lie took advantage of the terrain to build a camp and trapped Wang Qing's army to death, forcing Wang Qing to advance or retreat.
