Second update...please give me flowers, please give me tickets…………………………………………………………………………………
……………………………………………………
Only a few days after the imperial edict was issued, the entire Han Dynasty was in a state of excitement.
No one would have thought that the Taiping Sect, which once performed good deeds and performed good deeds, would turn into traitors in just a blink of an eye. What was even more unexpected was that the imperial court's attack on the Taiping Sect would be so strong.
For a time, those who were willing to rebel with the Taiping Religion picked up tools that could be used as weapons; those who had no intention of rebelling but had already joined the Taiping Religion could only regret following those rebellious teams; and the people who had accepted the kindness of the Taiping Religion,
You will be in constant panic all day long, for fear that if you are not careful, you will be implicated.
"The sky is dead, Huang Tian shall stand! At the age of ninety, the world will be at peace!" Tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of believers began to gather towards the gathering place, incited by various leaders, and shouted in unison.
Perhaps for them, this is the only way to alleviate the fear in their hearts.
The commanders from all walks of life were also very anxious at the moment, thinking to themselves: Wasn’t the uprising started in April? Why was it three months in advance?! It was so far in advance that the logistics couldn’t keep up. What on earth were going to feed so many people?!
Fortunately, at this moment, Zhang Jiao's envoy conveyed his will to the hands of the Qushuai from all directions.
The policy is just that: support war with war and let more poor people join our ranks.
After seeing this instruction, everyone understands...
That's right! Those wealthy families, haven't they exploited us enough for so many years? Look at their warehouses, the old grains are probably moldy now? But why would they rather let the grains continue to mold than take them out to fight last year's locust plague?
When there is a drought, please help us?!
"Robbing them all, burning them all, killing them all!" The people whose families had died in last year's drought and locust plague, or who had left their homes and become homeless because of this, were completely angry at this moment.
"Tianshi, do you know that you are turning an army into a complete thug!" When the commanders from all over the country saw this scene, they were wailing in their hearts.
But now that things have happened, it can no longer be stopped just because they say stop.
And they also had luck in their hearts, hoping that the Han court would be so corrupt that they would have no ability to resist, allowing them to successfully seize the world.
When the time comes, this chaotic situation will just have to work harder and slowly recover.
If the commanders did not control the thugs under their command, the beasts that had been imprisoned for a long time could finally be released. For a time, rebel armies continued to appear all over the Han Dynasty, and in the blink of an eye they swept through most of the country.
At the beginning, because the Yellow Turban Army was relatively pure, its combat effectiveness was astonishing. Coupled with several years of preparations, the siege weapons were relatively complete. As a result, all counties and counties fell wherever they passed. Local officials abandoned them one after another.
Official and left.
Nowadays, most of the officials in the Han Dynasty bought their official positions in Xiyuan. In their view, no matter whether they make enough money or not, their own lives are important. At worst, they can wait for the Yellow Turban Army to be suppressed before going to Luoyang for a while.
Yes.
To them, the Yellow Turban Army was also deeply disgusting.
It’s not that I hate the country or my family, but I hate that the Yellow Turban Army came to visit me. I don’t know if I’ll get back the money I spent. I just want to continue to be famous and make money, but I have to go to Luoyang to take advantage of the greedy man.
emperor.
Officials without any sense of responsibility naturally could not organize a qualified defense. In addition, the local earth walls were not high, so the fall was so rapid.
"What, the Yellow Turban Thief is so ferocious?!" Liu Hong couldn't sit still after receiving the report.
"My dear friends, what should we do now?" For a moment, his mind was blank and he couldn't think of any solution, so he could only ask his subordinates for help.
"Your Majesty, I have three strategies to retreat the Yellow Turban Army!" He Chu and Chu reported.
"My dear, come quickly!" Liu Hong immediately became interested.
"Strategy one is to mobilize human resources as soon as possible, and appoint or remove a loyal minister to lead the army to defend Luoyang. If Luoyang is not destroyed, the Han Dynasty will not be destroyed!" He Jin recalled it carefully, and then said the first strategy.
"It makes sense. As long as Luoyang is preserved, the local government will have the motivation to destroy the Yellow Turban Army!" Liu Hong thought for a while and had to admit that this was reasonable.
"Strategy two is to re-activate the state pastoral system in each state, with the state pastor in charge of the military and political affairs of a state, and order them to raise troops to quell the rebellion as soon as possible! At the same time, aristocratic families in various counties and counties can recruit a certain number of children from good families to resist the raging
The Yellow Turban Thief." He Jin thought for a while and continued.
"Alright!" Although he was unwilling to do so, Liu Hong had to admit that he could only compromise at this stage.
"Strategy Three: Immediately appoint and remove several generals, mobilize troops and attack the untouchables who have just taken up arms!" He Jin said the last suggestion firmly.
"Exactly!" Liu Hong was also very angry, secretly saying that if he didn't give those untouchables some color, they thought the Han court was really afraid of them.
But, who should be appointed or removed among these so-called generals?
After a second thought, he announced with a smile: "Let He Jin be the general and command the world's troops!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" He Jin was overjoyed and said to himself that Yuan Shao's strategy really worked, and it would be effective soon.
"General, the defense of Luoyang depends on you! I wonder if you have any candidates for the other generals who will go on the expedition?" Liu Hong immediately pushed the problem aside.
Obviously, there are not many veterans in the imperial court today, at least not many in Sizhou. Using new soldiers to deal with an enemy several times your own is very dangerous, and it is almost the same as sending yourself to death.
Because of this, who to choose for the expedition is a big question.
If you are not careful, you may offend others.
"Now is the moment of life and death for the Han Dynasty. All the ministers present have the responsibility to protect the country. For those who are going on the expedition, why don't we all put our heads together?!" He Jin finished speaking and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
That guy Yuan Shao actually even thought of this.
"I recommend Lu Zhi, Minister!" Yuan Feng was the first to report.
"I recommend Beizhonglang General Huangfu Song!" Dr. Guanglu Zhongfu issued a report.
"I recommend Zhu Jun, the right lieutenant general!" Attendant Yang Biao came out to report.
After the recommendation of the three men, other ministers nodded one after another, saying that the three men's command of the army was in line with their wishes.
"Xuan!" Liu Hong thought for a moment and ordered the three of them to go to court.
Not long after, the recommended three people entered the court one after another.
Liu Hong was not polite to them, and without any polite words, he told the ministers about their recommendation.
Finally, he said lukewarmly: "Do you, my dear friends, have anything to add?"
The implication is: it’s you, don’t expect to escape!
Zhu Jun had nothing to ask for, just to transfer Sun Jian to his command; Huangfu Song asked for more, not only required enough weapons and armor, but also needed to mobilize a group of war horses; Lu Zhi was even more ruthless, not only wanted to transfer Cao Cao to
His subordinates must help, the logistics must be sufficient, and party members who have been wrongfully imprisoned must be pardoned.
Liu Hong knew that except for the three people in front of him, no one would be willing to lead the army. After thinking about it, he realized that their request would not hurt him except a little pain in his body, so he reluctantly agreed.
The three people who received Liu Hong's approval immediately began to organize the army. When everything was ready, they divided their troops into three groups to wipe out the Yellow Turban rebels. To put it bluntly, the game officially started.
A few days after this court meeting, Liu Hong's edict spread throughout the country.
Liu Yan, the governor of Youzhou, was automatically promoted to the position of shepherd of Youzhou. After receiving the edict, he immediately began to issue recruitment notices to recruit soldiers to go south to serve the king.
Not long after, the notice was posted on the city wall of Zhuoxian County.
"Alas!" A sigh contained countless regrets.
After spending many years of savings and even giving away the elixir given by the thank you letter, I changed my qualifications for the game. But looking back now, I realize that I have no ability to organize soldiers and horses to harvest my share. return.
The good man Liu Bei, looking at the recruitment notice, was extremely confused in his heart.
"A manly man, if you don't think about protecting your home and country, why are you sighing here?" A shout came from behind him immediately.
Liu Bei looked back and thought to himself: Huh? Isn't this the butcher Zhang from Zhuojun?! If he doesn't kill pigs and sell the meat, what is he doing here?! Could it be that he wants to...
But before he could go to seek confirmation, he discovered that Butcher Zhang had disappeared.
"I heard that Butcher Zhang's family has a lot of savings. If they all use it, I'm afraid they can raise a strong team..." Liu Bei discovered this key keenly.
So, he immediately ran towards Zhang Tu's meat stall.
When I got there, I saw Butcher Zhang fighting with a big man with a red face.
The two of them go back and forth, but the routine is not some wild way, it is definitely a way of fighting on the battlefield.
"What a fierce general! If we get their help, great things can be accomplished!" Liu Bei clenched his fists and made up his mind.
"You two, please slow down!"
Just when both sides were about to hit each other with their fists, Liu Bei suddenly rushed between them and caught their fists.
only……
It hurts so much, it really hurts me to death! Why are these two guys so strong?!
No, you have to pay attention to your image! I absolutely can't let them know that I'm actually in so much pain that I want to cry!
"It's you again, why are you here disturbing Mr. Zhang?!" Zhang Fei retracted his fist in dissatisfaction.
"Two heroes, now that the Yellow Turbans are in chaos, and the Han Dynasty is at a critical moment, what's the use of fighting here if you two are so brave and don't join the army to defend the country?" Liu Bei endured the pain, looking very compassionate. He said slowly to the two of them.
"You still have the nerve to talk to me? With the way you were sighing just now, you still have the nerve to say this?!" Zhang Fei was unhappy.
"Liu also has his own difficulties. Will you two listen to me and explain it slowly?!" Liu Bei shook his head helplessly.
In fact, he was helpless, he was in so much pain that he could hardly bear it anymore.
"Just come to my house and tell me slowly!" Zhang Fei said lightly.
Putting aside Liu Bei's sighs before, now that he can catch his own punch and still withstand it, he can be regarded as a person whom he can make friends with.
"By the way, how about you come too, and I'll have a drink while we chat?!" He then called out to the red-faced man.
"Shan!" The red-faced man was not afraid of trouble.
More importantly, if someone invites you to drink, why don’t you go?
In this way, the three of them went all the way to Zhang's Mansion. Along the way, although Liu Bei's face did not appear to have changed, in fact, his hands were still transmitting bursts of pain.
It hurts so much. Are the bones in my hands cracked?!
The banquet was set and the three of them sat down together.
Finally, Liu Bei couldn't help it any longer, and a tear fell from the corner of his eye.
"Hey, why are you crying?!" Zhang Fei immediately discovered this keenly.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...I feel sad for myself..." Liu Bei stopped pretending, and fortunately he had enough to cry.
"What's going on..." Zhang Fei and the red-faced man were stunned.
The first time they saw a man, he actually cried more than the woman, which was even more confusing.
Liu Bei also took the opportunity to tell in detail his life experience, experiences, and even his ambitions.
Every time his hands hurt, he cried loudly, complaining that as a descendant of the Han Dynasty, he could not protect his family and country. This time he cried loudly, but Zhang Fei and the red-faced man couldn't help but become moved.
Maybe, he is showing his true feelings?
The two of them had always wanted to go together, so this reason made sense.
Liu Bei saw that he had attracted the attention of the two men, and cried out that those aristocratic families did not care about protecting their families and the country, but under the guise of King Qin, they gathered the refugees to strengthen themselves and so on.
The red-faced man immediately became angry after hearing this, but Zhang Fei was not stupid and immediately heard that it was a big deal.
This sissy has the righteousness to lead the army, but she can take the opportunity to recruit refugees to strengthen the Zhang family. Why not join forces to benefit each other?!
Seeing Zhang Fei deep in thought, Liu Bei smiled secretly.
What if I give up my game qualifications to the Zhang family? As long as I make enough contributions with the help of the Yellow Turban Army in this game, the official position that should be mine will still be mine.
"Brother, I understand how you feel! We are all citizens of the Han Dynasty. Now that the Han Dynasty is in danger of survival, how can we waste our time here?! Otherwise, my Zhang family will pay to recruit soldiers, and you and I will lead the army together.
, how about we go together to eliminate the Yellow Turban thieves?" Zhang Fei understood and immediately made a suggestion.
"That's great!" Liu Bei agreed with a smile.
"This man, do you want to come with us? Speaking of which, I still don't know your surname..." Zhang Fei asked the red-faced man again.
"My surname is Guan Mingyu, and my surname was originally Changsheng, but was later changed to Yunchang. Count me in for your heroic feats of protecting your family and country!" Guan Yu said boldly.
Among the three people present, he is not from a noble family, but from a middle peasant family.
Because of this, he still didn't know how dirty things were hidden under Liu Zhang's righteous coat.
The three of them exchanged polite greetings, and their relationship took another step forward.
"The three of us hit it off instantly, why not become brothers of the opposite sex?!" Liu Bei suddenly suggested.
He knew that if the three of them were independent entities, then he would be nothing more than a puppet.
"Very good!" Guan Yu nodded.
"There is a peach garden behind Zhuangzi. How about tomorrow we pray to heaven and earth and become brothers of the opposite sex?" Zhang Fei said with a smile.
He also felt that these two people were attractive to him, and after becoming brothers of the opposite sex, he could save a lot of money by recruiting the refugees, so he agreed.
The next day, the three of them burned incense and prayed to heaven and earth, officially becoming brothers of the opposite sex.
After that, Zhang Fei spent a lot of property to recruit soldiers.
Moreover, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang fled here, and they were very dissatisfied with the Yellow Turbans. Seeing Liu Bei and others recruiting troops to fight against the thieves, they all donated money to assist Liu Bei.
At the same time, he took out three weapons bought from Jubao Pavilion and gave them to the three of them.
These three weapons are all divine weapons refined by the Kunlun Cult, but of course they are only relative to mortals.
The three magic weapons are naturally: Qinglong Yanyue Sword, Zhangba Snake Spear and male and female double swords.
"Good weapons!" The three people took the weapons and sighed sincerely.
