In 184 AD (the year of Jiazi), Zhang Jiao made an appointment with his followers to raise troops to fight against the Han Dynasty on March 5 with the slogan "Heaven is dead, Huangtian is here to stand, if you are in Jiazi, the world will be auspicious".

And because Zhang Jiao firmly believed in the Five Virtues, according to the theory of the Five Virtues, Han is the virtue of fire, fire produces earth, and earth is yellow, so all believers tied yellow scarves on their heads as a sign, symbolizing that they would replace the decaying Han Dynasty.

On the one hand, Zhang Jiao sent people to write the word "Jia Zi" on the doors of all the government offices as a record of recognition. On the other hand, he sent Ma Yuanyi to Jingzhou and Yangzhou to summon tens of thousands of people to Jizhou to prepare. He also went to Luoyang several times to collude with the eunuchs to grant Xu, Xu Feng

, I want to harmonize the inside and the outside.

However, one month before the uprising, a disciple of Zhang Jiao named Tang Zhou reported on Ma Yuanyi, the capital's internal commander. Ma Yuanyi was killed in a car.

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty knew about the Yellow Turban incident and was furious. He sent officers and soldiers to arrest and kill Taiping Dao believers, implicating more than a thousand people. He also ordered Jizhou to hunt down Zhang Jiao.

Due to the sudden incident, Zhang Jiao was forced to launch an uprising in February one month in advance, and the Yellow Turban Uprising in history began!

Because the rebels wore yellow scarves on their heads, they were called "yellow scarves" or "moth thieves". Zhang Jiao called himself "Tiangong General", Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were respectively "Di Gong General" and "Ren Gong General" in Jizhou in the north.

Get into trouble.

They burned down government offices, killed officials, and looted everywhere. Within a month, fighting broke out in seven states and twenty-eight counties across the country. The Yellow Turban army was in disarray, states and counties were lost, officials fled, and the capital was shocked.

Seeing how powerful Taiping Road was, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty hurriedly appointed He Jin as the general on Wushen Day in March. He led the five battalions of soldiers from Yulin on his left and right to garrison in Duting, marshaled weapons, and guarded the capital.

We also set up garrison commanders at various Kyoto passes such as Hangu Pass, Dagu, Guangcheng, Yique, Yuan, Xuanmen, Mengjin, and Xiaopingjin.

He issued orders to all localities to take strict precautions, and ordered all states and counties to prepare for war, train soldiers, prepare weapons, and gather rebels.

Seeing that the time had come, Huangfu Song made a petition to lift the ban on the party, and donated the palace money and fine horses from the Western Garden to the sergeants to improve their morale.

Later, Lu told Emperor Ling: "The scourge of the Party has accumulated resentment for a long time. If we collude with the Yellow Turbans, I am afraid that the Han Dynasty will really be doomed."

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty accepted the proposal, and on the day of Renzi, he granted amnesty to party members and returned all the emigrants. He asked ministers from aristocratic families to donate horses and crossbows, and recommended the descendants of generals and people with profound strategic knowledge to the public transportation department for inspection.

On the other hand, elite troops were sent to suppress the chaos in various places: Lu Zhi led his deputy general Guan Yu and led the five colonels of the Northern Army to take charge of the northern front and deal with Zhang Jiao's main force.

Huangfu Song led an army, controlled the five schools, the Knights of Sanhe and the newly recruited elite warriors, a total of more than 40,000 people, to attack the Yellow Turban Army in Nanyang.

At this time, Zhang Mancheng attacked Chu Gong, the governor of Nanyang County, and responded to Zhang Jiao. Huangfu Song heard about it and ordered his deputy Cao Cao to join him outside Nanyang City.

The Han army did not gain a victory in the first battle. In April, Huangfu Song's army was defeated by the Yellow Turban Zhang Mancheng and retreated. Huangfu Song had to station defense in Wancheng and was besieged by Zhang Mancheng's army. The Han army was small and morale was low.

At this time, the Yellow Turban Army from Runan defeated the prefect Zhao Qian in Shaoling. The Yellow Turban Army from Guangyang killed Guo Xun, the governor of Youzhou, and the prefect Liu Wei. The Yellow Turban Army showed no signs of retreat due to the actions of the Han Dynasty.

At this time, bad news came again in Yingchuan. Bocai led hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans and went from Jizhou to Yingchuan to kill them. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was in great hurry and recruited talented people from all over the world to fight against the Yellow Turbans.

In Erxian Manor, everyone gathered together.

"Repay...!"

Guo De hurriedly ran in and reported to Li Zhixian: "Master, the Yellow Turban Bandit Bocai is coming to Yingchuan with hundreds of thousands of horses!"

When he heard that the Yellow Turban Thief had come to Yingchuan, Li Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and thought: "He is finally here. If he is not here, I have been thinking about it. Now that he is here, there is nothing to say.

Bar!"

Thinking of this, Li Zhi suddenly stood up and shouted: "Everyone, listen to the order!"

"My subordinates are here, please give me the order, my lord!" Everyone immediately stood up and bowed to listen to the order.

"Order, Guo San will lead 10,000 troops to garrison Erxian Village, move all the people in Guojia Village to Erxian Village, and open all the organs in front of the village. If the thieves come, stand firm and wait for help."

"Here! Please rest assured, my lord, I will swear to the death to ensure that the village is safe!" Guo San saw that Li Zhi had entrusted his family to him, so he issued a military order.

Li Zhi nodded when he heard the words, and then ordered: "Order, Yang Ying leads five thousand troops as the vanguard, digs mountains when encountering mountains, builds bridges when encountering water, and clears the way for the army!"

After hearing this, Yang Ying had a look of embarrassment on her face: "If my subordinates serve as vanguards, then my lord's safety will be in danger..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Zhiyang: "No need to say more, just follow the order!"

"Here!" Seeing Li Zhi's firm attitude, Yang Ying responded loudly.

"Order, Xu Huang will lead 20,000 infantry, 7,000 archers, and 3,000 cavalry. The total of 30,000 troops will be the central army. I will personally lead 5,000 troops to hold down the battle for you. We will fight against the Yellow Turban bandits together!"

"Here!" Xu Huang agreed loudly when Li Zhi ordered him to be a general.

Li Zhi nodded, stood up and looked at everyone: "Everyone, today's troubled times have become apparent. Those of us who are struggling in these troubled times must work together to fight against the Yellow Turban Moth Thieves!"

This is when everyone stood up together: "Kill

Let’s work together to fight against the moth thieves!”

Yingchuan Yangzhai County Government Office.

The county magistrate of Yangzhai was sighing and frowning because of the Yellow Turban incident: "What can I do?! With hundreds of thousands of troops and no other reinforcements, how can I defend Yangzhai?!"

"Report...!" At this time, an official came from outside and reported loudly: "Reporting to the county magistrate, there is a large group of people coming from outside the city. The flags look like our Han Dynasty officers and soldiers!"

"Oh?" The county magistrate was shocked when he heard this and stood up quickly: "Take me quickly to have a look!"

When the two came to the top of the city, they saw a soldier and horse in the distance slowly walking towards them.

This army was about seven or eight miles apart from the front and rear, forming three square formations in front, middle and back. When marching, the square formations were also neat and uniform, which was very spectacular.

Seeing this, the county magistrate knew that these people were definitely not moth thieves, so he quickly looked at the vanguard flag and saw the words on the flag: Hou Li of the Ancient Township of Han Dynasty.

When the county magistrate saw this, he was overjoyed. Of course he knew who Guxiang Hou was. He had handled Li Zhi's household registration at the beginning, but he didn't expect that he would be rescued by Li Zhi today. Things are really unpredictable!

After the county magistrate sighed in his heart for a while, he hurriedly said to the officer on the side: "Hurry up and open the city gate to welcome the ancient villagers entering the city!"

After the officer left, the county magistrate excitedly shouted to the sky: "I, Yangzhai, am finally saved!"

After shouting, he thought for a while and felt that it was inappropriate to leave such an important matter to a servant.

"No! It's better for me to go and greet Gu Xianghou in person!" After saying that, he hurriedly got off the city wall and ran towards the city gate.

Halfway through the run, the county magistrate suddenly stopped, looked for a soldier guarding the city and said to him: "Go and inform the county magistrate and ask him to prepare a good banquet."

After saying that, after seeing the man nod, he hurried to the city gate again.

When the county magistrate ran to the city gate, it was already open. Seeing this, he hurried forward and stood at the city gate waiting for Li Zhi's arrival.

At this time, Li Zhi looked at his magnificent military power in the army and felt very proud. This was the capital he had accumulated for several years.

At this time, Guo Jiayu stepped forward and pointed to Li Zhi in the direction of Yangzhai City: "Brother, look, my senior brother must have seen your brother coming and is greeting him at the gate of the city."

Li Zhi took a closer look and saw that it was not the case. He saw a man in front of the city gate, waiting there with several government officials.

Seeing this, Li Zhi ordered: "Send my military order to speed up the march!"
