The world is constantly changing, and people's hearts are treacherous. This is something that everyone knows. However, as thousands of years have passed, how many truths have been stopped in the mouths of the dead, and how many secrets have been buried in the writings of historians. Although the twists and turns are beyond the reach of ordinary people,
What we know is also what people feel sad about.
The story of the Linzi Rebellion is also the same.
In the second year of Gengcang, Gengcang's army first captured Xuzhou, then subdued the Heishan Army, and then occupied Yanzhou. Although there was a small setback, the territory was expanded thousands of miles and the momentum was overwhelming. After all, no one in the world could match it. Even Chen Chong could not fight in a hundred battles.
Dare to claim a quick victory, even if you are as powerful as Yuan Shao, you have many fears in your heart. The only way in the world is that Geng Cang's army has occupied the territory of the three states and has 500,000 strong soldiers. It is the time to continue to advance at the height of the sun, but who would have expected that in early July
, suddenly the Linzi Rebellion broke out.
The descriptions of the Linzi Rebellion in later generations are really inconsistent. Because there are so many people involved and the outbreak was too sudden, it is even more difficult to discuss who is right and wrong among them. However, its impact is huge and profound, but it is recognized by the world.
.So when I write this, I have to cut through the details and record it truthfully.
After Liu Bei led the Dongping Army to invade Qingzhou, Qingzhou was empty. The Yellow Turbans took advantage of the situation and re-occupied the Qingzhou area. However, after Zhang Jiao was appointed as the leader and Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were killed by Huangfu Song, the remaining Yellow Turbans were mixed, and no one could lead the group.
His power overwhelms the hearts of the people, so much so that Peng Tuo ran away, and this will be the case until he rises again.
Zhang Rao and Zhang Jiao were distant relatives. After Zhang Liang's death, Zhang Rao succeeded the Yellow Turban leader. However, for several years, Zhang Rao tried to take over all the military power of various ministries, but in the end he could not convince the crowd. At this time, Liu Xi, the crown prince of Langya,
After entering Qi State from Langya, he recommended himself to Zhang Rao, advising him to imitate Liu Xuan's story in Lulin and conspire with him to conquer the world.
Liu Xi, the heir apparent of the Langya Kingdom, was fond of reading, good at riding and shooting, and compared himself to Tian Dan and Zhao Wu because of the incompetence of the court. When Tian Dan was destroying the country, he used the fire ox strategy to defeat the Yan army and restore the foundation of the Qi state.
, Zhao Wu suffered the disaster of destroying his family and became an orphan. Later, he revived the Zhao family, became the top minister, and ruled the Jin Dynasty. Both of them were heroes who restored the country and rejuvenated the clan. Liu Xi compared himself with this, which shows that his
Aiming for the sky and being extraordinary.
After making an alliance with Zhang Rao, Zhang Rao convened all the Yellow Turban tribes in Linzi. After twenty years, he finally convinced Guan Hai and others to respect King Langya as their master and reciprocate their love. Once King Langya conquers the world, he should respect Taiping Dao as the state religion. The two sides negotiated
After that, Liu Xi led the Yellow Turban Army into Xu, then defeated Mount Tai and Langya, and ordered his father Liu Rong to proclaim himself emperor.
As a result, the political situation of the Linzi court was divided into internal and external affairs. Prince Liu Xi was in charge of recruiting talents, establishing legislation, and contacting celebrities. He was known as the Crown Prince of Dongming. General Zhang Rao was in charge of the external affairs, coordinating the various departments of the Yellow Turbans, manipulating vertical and horizontal forces, and conquering cities and territories.
, the deployment of troops and the selection of generals were all based on their own calculations. Both sides cooperated internally and externally, and they achieved such great achievements in two years. But the world did not know that Liu Xi was the founder of the establishment, and Prince Daolangya and his son were captured by the traitor army and proclaimed themselves emperors.
It’s because of the forced ear.
It's just that time has changed and the war has been going on for a long time, and the situation in the DPRK has also changed slightly. At the beginning of the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, Liu Xi was in Linzi to mediate, stabilize the political situation, and gain fame and quell the resentment. It can be said that he has made great contributions. But now Linzi sits on the three states.
In this land, the prestige of the Emperor Linzi was not extended. Instead, the general and shogunate gradually grew bigger.
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhang Rao has recruited talents. He first recruited heroes from Huainan such as Lu Su and Liu Ye, and then recruited Westerners such as Han Xian and Yang Feng to join his army. His momentum gradually became uncontrollable. The battle of Xuzhou was originally attributed to Guan Hai.
However, Zhang Rao first sent Baibo's army into Xiapi, and repeatedly recruited famous people from Qingxu to subjugate Zang Ba Changxi and other Taishan bandits in high positions. Xuzhou was almost his private territory.
In addition, Zhang Rao also took advantage of the good alliance with Yuan Shao to first send hostages to each other and then marry each other. Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan married Zhang Rao's eldest daughter, and Zhang Rao's eldest son Zhang Shao married Yuan Shao's eldest daughter.
Since then, there have been constant exchanges of letters between the two sides, so much so that Yuan Shao's envoys never entered the court, only the strange phenomenon of Zhang Rao's shogunate.
The Prince of Linzi was not unaware of this, so he turned to support the brothers Guan Cheng and Guan Hai to maintain the balance of the court. When he went to Yanzhou, he made the Guan brothers the commanders. However, in the battle of Yanzhou, although Guan Hai and Guan Cheng occupied Yanzhou
, but when discussing the merits afterwards, it turns out that there were no merits but faults.
After all, Guan Cheng besieged Dongmin, but Changyi could not be in the front, but Guan Yu rescued the siege. Guan Hai defended Yuan Wu behind, but was defeated by Duan Xuan. It can be said that the road was victorious but the force was weak. Zhang Rao took advantage of the opportunity and defeated Guan Hai.
Guan and Cheng were demoted and donated the land of Yanzhou to Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan first entered the court, observed the strength of the political situation, and judged that Zhang Rao had the upper hand, so he sent envoys to Zhang Rao's house every day to discuss important matters to show that the Montenegrin army surrendered to the general.
By May of the third year of Gengcang, Zhang Rao had basically controlled all the counties in the three prefectures except Linzi City, and all the officials in the court looked up to him. There were already rumors in Linzi City that the general had vaguely planned to replace the imperial army and ban the imperial army.
Ideas.
The Prince of Linzi was restless. He thought about it for many days and finally proposed a plan at the court meeting. He wanted to promote Liu Ye, the military advisor of Zhang Rao's mansion, to be the governor of Jinwu, and send Hua Xin, the former commander of Jinwu, to be the governor of Xuzhou.
If Rao is a think tank, he can be used by the court to reduce Zhang Rao's power. After Hua Xin becomes the governor of Xuzhou, he can take the opportunity to win over Bai Bo's army and then lead the army to attack Yuan Shu in Yangzhou. But if he gains anything, he can promote the reputation of the imperial family.
, which can bring the DPRK situation back into balance.
Although the idea was good, Zhang Rao refused to give in. At the court meeting, Zhang Rao vetoed all the proposals of the Prince of Linzi, and suggested that the Prince "kowt down and observe his duties to demonstrate his saintliness". As the leader of the ministers, Zhang Rao must "
"Exterminate the gangs of evil men and annihilate all the small ones". After the court meeting, Zhang Rao went over to the court and replaced important positions such as the city gate captain and the northern army lieutenant with people from the shogunate. Only the guards, Jinwu and other imperial guards in the palace were still in Liu
Let Liu Xi and his son take control.
At this point, it was clear that Zhang Rao was disloyal, and the internal and external balance of the political situation was gone. The Prince of Linzi secretly conspired with his ministers, thinking that without further delay, he must imitate the story of Emperor Huan's execution of Liang and Ji.
At that time, General Liang Ji had been in power for more than 20 years. He was extremely prosperous and powerful both internally and externally. Hundreds of officials looked at him with side eyes, and no one dared to disobey his orders. Emperor Huan only served himself every day and was not allowed to have any personal influence in government. In order to punish Liang Ji, Emperor Huan
He secretly planted his cronies, contacted the imperial army as regular servants, and suddenly sent troops to surround Liang Ji's mansion. Then he took back the military power and advanced to destroy the entire Liang and Ji clan. Emperor Huan took charge of the government.
In June of the third year of Gengcang, the Prince of Linzi sent a letter to the General's Mansion, saying that he wanted to marry the General, marry the General's fourth daughter, and bring peace to the court. He also invited the General to the palace. Zhang Rao was very happy when he heard this.
Still hesitant, he asked Liu Ye for his opinion.
Liu Ye said: "Ming Gong has now expressed his hope for great achievements, and he has the intention of flying an eagle, which is the most taboo for the king. The prince has always had great ambitions and a reputation, but now he doesn't have any resentment. Isn't it strange?" p>
Zhang Rao then smiled and said: "The situation now belongs to me. All the prefectures and counties, as well as all levels of the army, all belong to me. It is my credit that we are able to defeat the three states. The prince is a wise man. Even if he has a grudge, he will not do it."
You have to be aware of current affairs!"
He paused and then said: "What I hesitate about is whether he will be resentful. I married Ah Nuan to him. There is no affection between husband and wife. I am afraid it is not a good thing!"
Liu Ye didn't object, but just suggested: "If you want to meet the prince, it's better to wait a little longer until Duke Ming is transferred to the imperial guard in the palace. It won't be too late to go. Otherwise, if the prince takes action, Duke Ming may die."
Danger!"
Zhang Rao pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "It doesn't have to be like this. The prince knows the current situation. If I die, how many of them can survive? It's just a meeting, there is no need to make a fuss." After that, he murmured: "
If the prince is resentful, should An Nuan get married or not?"
With that said, Zhang Rao drove into the palace and met with the Prince of Linzi at the Xincheng Mingguang Palace. Unexpectedly, as soon as they met, Liu Xi sent people to capture Zhang Rao. Without waiting for Zhang Rao to say anything, Liu Xi sent people from the palace to
Thousands of Yu Lin's troops went to surround the general's residence, and Chen Deng was sent to lead a thousand men to block the city gate.
When Zhang Rao entered the palace, Liu Ye sensed something was wrong and sent spies to inquire about the news at the city gate. At this time, he saw a warrior rushing out of the palace and immediately realized something was wrong, so he contacted his friend Lu Su and a dozen of his subordinates.
The officials rushed to the front of the siege, grabbed the seal and fled through the door, ten miles eastward and ran straight into Dong'an City.
At this time, there were about ten thousand infantry in Dong'an City, all of them Zhang Rao's tribe. Liu Ye knew that time was running out, so he immediately issued a letter from the general and ordered the Dong'an army to return to the capital quickly.
At this time, it started to rain heavily, and the sky and the earth were dark. Liu Ye did not dare to rest, and led the army back to Linzi in the heavy rain. The sound of rain was so loud that the sound of thousands of people marching was covered up. Chen Deng didn't notice until they knocked on the gate of Linzi City.
On that day, there was another violent storm and water vapor filled the sky. Chen Deng led the palace guards to shoot arrows, but failed to hit. Seeing the enemy's strength, the soldiers dispersed one after another. Chen Deng fled Linzi, but Liu Ye was able to return to Linzi.
But at this time, Linzi had undergone a major change. The prince had captured Zhang Rao's entire family, and all the more than a thousand members of his general's staff had been taken into the palace. Next, the prince only had to force Zhang Rao to send a message to the whole country and confess his guilt, and then he could take back the power.
.
But Zhang Rao was in prison, but his body was extremely hard. No matter how the prince tortured him, he refused to admit guilt, and claimed that if the prince killed him, all the soldiers in the three states would rebel. It happened that Liu Ye led his army to besiege the palace, and the prince only
He was able to threaten Liu Ye with his life, and then made a promise from a senior official that if Liu Ye defected and surrendered, he could be named Grand Sima.
Liu Ye only replied with a cross: "The Han Dynasty cannot be prosperous! Public opinion cannot be violated!" So he stepped up his attack on the city.
Seeing that his men could not hold on and he had no way to escape, Liu Xi was very angry and ordered the entire Zhang Rao family to be slaughtered. He also sent people with iron rods to kill the traitors who followed Zhang Rao. For a while, the palace wailed.
Continuously, it’s like a group of ghosts are in jail.
As a result, Gengcang General Zhang Rao was killed, Linzi Prince Liu Xi committed suicide, Linzi Emperor Liu Rong was deposed, and Sikong Xu He also died in the chaos. Afterwards, Liu Ye communicated with Guan Hai and Guan Cheng's brothers came to Beijing, and the Guan family
The brothers were reorganizing their troops in the plains. When they heard about this sudden incident, they hurriedly led their troops back to Linzi. The two took charge of the overall situation and made Liu Chao, Liu Rong's second son, emperor, and Huang Chu.
In just one day, the Linzi court was completely empty. The elites it had recruited over the past three years were reduced to withered bones, and the ambition of unifying the world also vanished at this time. The people of Linzi saw soldiers and corpses hanging at the city gates and palaces.
As I walked between the doors, I couldn’t help but sigh:
"General Zhang has great talent, and Prince Dongming has extraordinary courage. The days when the two complemented each other seemed like yesterday, but now they have fallen into hell together. I have had Gaoliang Huangjiu for the past three years, and I thought it would last forever. But now it seems
