Chapter 123 Youzhou Shepherd
Chapter 123 Youzhou Mu
The Yellow Turbans in Jizhou first destroyed Guangzong City and then defeated the Lu Zhi army of the imperial court, which was in the limelight.
The failure of Lu Zhi's army marked the court's almost losing control of Jizhou, and also marked the fall of Jizhou into the hands of the Jizhou Yellow Turbans.
Taiping Dao advocated Zhang Jiao's face was still calm and he could not see any pride.
It seems that for him, as expected, what is there to be proud of to defeat Lu Zhi's army?
He looked up at the sky and saw a scene that mortals could not see.
The thunder brewing outside the nine heavens became more and more terrifying and gradually condensed into shape. It seemed that a god in the sky was about to be born and killed the rebellion who did not obey the heavens!
"Divine Formation?" Zhang Jiao sighed lightly, and a trace of sharpness flashed through his always kind face. "It always needs to be broken!"
His target has always been the divine formation in heaven, and it is just the divine formation in heaven.
As for the matter on the ground, he just used a little strength.
Just like in the previous battle, if he had used all his strength, no one would have survived in Lu Zhi's army.
He just tapped three times, and Lu Zhi's army was defeated...
But he could only use a little force.
When he used too much power, or even ten power, the divine array would completely sense his message and come to the world. At that time, the divine array and him would never die.
He can't take care of it.
Obviously, the Yellow Turban Army was not ready for a decisive battle at this time.
If he is gone, the remaining Yellow Turban Army seems to be unable to resist the Han Ting's strangulation...
He had no choice but to defeat Lu Zhi with a little strength.
He stayed in the world.
He then sat in Jizhou and watched the Yellow Turbans from all directions, hoping that his disciples could live up to his expectations and wash away sand in the waves. He also hoped that the heir he had chosen himself could do some big things.
...
Lu Zhi was defeated and the court was shocked.
Tens of thousands of Han troops could not destroy some of the Yellow Turban bandits, but instead suffered losses of troops and generals. How could the court not be shocked?
What's worse is the bad news coming from all over the country.
Zhang Mancheng, the leader of the Yellow Turbans, led the Yellow Turbans in Nanyang to conquer the county city and killed the prefect Chu Gong.
Another leader of the Yellow Turbans, Bo Cai, led the Yingchuan Yellow Turbans to defeat the Right Central Army General Zhu Ye, and besieged the Left Central Army General Huangfu Song in Changshe.
The Yellow Turbans of Runan defeated the prefect Zhao Qian.
The Yellow Turbans in Guangyang killed Guo Xun, the governor of Youzhou, and Liu Wei.
Julu Yellow Turban captured King Anping Liu Xu and King Ganling Liu Zhong.
The Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou conquered Linzi in Qingzhou County, but the prefect disappeared.
...
Bad news almost made the emperor's face turn green.
It seems that the next moment, the Yellow Turban Army will be able to come to Luoyang and capture the emperor's family.
"Waste! Waste!"
The palace of the Han Dynasty was filled with the angry voice of Emperor Ling of Han.
He was almost mad.
In just a few months, the great man's country seemed to be over!
How is this possible?
How can this be done?
At this time, Taichang Liu Yan proposed to change the governor to the prefecture governor, and be appointed by the royal family or important officials, so that he can have the power of local military and government, so that the local government can be strengthened, and the local government can be controlled more easily, and the Yellow Turban tribes can be effectively suppressed.
Some court ministers felt deeply the hidden dangers of this system, but no one dared to write to the emperor.
Emperor Ling of Han thought about it and finally passed Liu Yan's memorial and immediately appointed Liu Yan, who proposed the state patriarchal system as the governor of Yizhou, and Liu Biao was also appointed as the governor of Jingzhou, all of whom were from the Liu family.
Even if the princes will gain troops in the future, it will be the business of the Liu family, and it will not be the turn of outsiders.
Faced with countless Yellow Turbans everywhere, Emperor Ling of Han had to agree to the state patriarchal system and drink poison to quench thirst.
He dismissed Lu Zhi, who was unfavorable in the battle, and escorted him back to Beijing.
He also sent Dong Zhuo, a powerful general in Western Liang who guarded the border of the Han Dynasty, to replace Lu Zhi to command the Han army and continue to attack the rebel Zhang Jiao.
...
Jinan County.
"The state pastoral system emerged so soon?"
Lu Yun was thinking about the news about Luoyang.
The governor of a state can control the army of a state, and the government is already like a local emperor. This system is completely to encourage local troops to gain self-respect.
This state pastoral system appeared in history in 188. The Han Dynasty felt powerless against the Yellow Turban Army everywhere, so it released the state pastoral system.
Now it's several years ahead of schedule.
"It must be smashed with gold and silver, and the governors of a state must be smashed!"
Lu Yun made up his mind.
He has gold and silver.
The state governor, but it is not often present.
It’s worth it to exchange gold and silver for a state and state patriarch!
...
Luoyang City, Zhang Rang Mansion.
Zhang Rang was the head of the ten regular attendants and the eunuchs. Emperor Ling of Han was extremely favored and often said that "Zhang Changshi was my father", which shows his favor.
Now Zhang Rang was in the hall, staring at boxes of gold and silver in a daze.
"Lu Yun in Qingzhou is really a wonderful person. He gave him seven thousand gold last time, and this time he gave him twenty thousand gold, which is quite a big deal."
Zhang Rang likes money the most and has some impression of Lu Yun who was doing business last time.
Now that I have seen 20,000 gold, I have a more and more impression of Lu Yun.
He likes someone who knows how to do things.
"But, this prefect of Qingzhou cannot be bought with money. Is Youzhou okay?"
Zhang Rang muttered to himself for a moment and made up his mind.
The next day, morning court.
"The Lord is here!"
In the past, Emperor Ling of Han was too lazy to attend court, but now the Yellow Turbans are in chaos. In order to be on the safe side of the throne, he decided to attend court for the time being.
This damn Yellow Turban!
Emperor Ling of Han cursed again in his heart, a little impatient.
Zhang Rang didn't know what his master was thinking and asked loudly: "All the ministers have to report to me, but they have to leave the court if they have nothing to do!"
One of the officials walked out of them, holding the tablet and bowing, saying:
"I report to the emperor, Lu Yun, the prefect of the East China Sea, defeated the 100,000 Yellow Turban thieves, and rejected the Yellow Turban Que's commander Zhang Niujiao in Qingzhou. He made great contributions to the country and could represent the governor of Youzhou."
Lu Yun’s idea is Qingzhou, but Qingzhou is too rich and very competitive.
Zhang Rang has a good attitude in business. Since he got the money, he had to eliminate the disaster. After thinking for a long time, he decided to teach his subordinates to ask Lu Yun to be the governor of Youzhou!
The Mushou in Youzhou is not easy to be a good person. Like Bingzhou, it borders the grassland. Not only does the environment not work, but it is often invaded and robbed by foreign races.
And now, we not only have to resist foreign races, but also fight against the Yellow Turbans.
It's a chore.
But at least he is a senior official and can become a local emperor.
Its location is still empty now, and many ministers and aristocratic families are also watching.
He represented Lu Yun as the governor of Youzhou, but no one among the officials opposed it.
The officials of Zhang Rang's faction naturally would not object if Zhang Rang had the understanding.
Some important officials, such as Wang Yun, Cai Yong and others, had good friends with Lu Yun on weekdays and would not object.
As for some aristocratic families, such as the Yuan family, they saw that no one opposed it and were in the bitter and cold place of Youzhou, they did not come out to oppose it.
Their objection may not be effective, and it will ultimately depend on the meaning of the emperor.
With Zhang Rang taking action, Emperor Ling of Han also knew about the situation in Youzhou, which was a mess. Emperor Ling of Han ordered: "Since that's the case, I will grant Lu Yun the governor of Youzhou."
