Mid-March.
An incomparably huge battle erupted.
The eight states were in complete chaos. The followers of the Path of Peace tied up the Yellow Turban Army, which was known as the Yellow Turban Army.
Back then, Zhang Jiao had wanted to overthrow the Han Dynasty and fight against the aristocrats.
However, the Yellow Turban cavalrymen of the various states had rushed to attack the cities, killed the officials, and plundered the people. The soldiers under their command had not been trained. It was all done by the mobs!
Memorials from various prefectures and counties floated into Luoyang like snowflakes, causing countless court officials to be furious.
In the Jiade Palace.
After Liu Hong finished reading all the memorials, the anger in his heart was difficult to vent.
Seeing this, Zhang Rang said in a low voice," Your Majesty, the North and Left Generals have already gone to various places to suppress the rebellion. I believe that there will be good news in the near future. Don't worry!"”
"How can I not be worried!"
Liu Hong's expression was extremely ugly as he shouted angrily,""In Qing, You, and Ji, the rebel army has broken through the cities. Provincial governors and prefects have been killed, and some officials have even taken advantage of the situation to rebel.”
"Your Majesty!"
"The most important thing now is to prepare the supplies and provisions to provide a large amount of support to the royal army to ensure that they won't be hindered in quelling the rebellion. Then, the capital will urgently recruit soldiers to train as reinforcements!”Cai Yong shouted.
Liu Hong's gaze swept across the ministers and realized that he had no generals to use. He was extremely disappointed.
"Your Majesty!"
Cao Cao walked out from the ranks of officials and shouted with a burning gaze,"I am willing to recruit soldiers as backup!”
"Correct!"
Liu Hong said in a deep voice.
He Jin's expression kept changing as he said respectfully,""Your Majesty, I heard that the Yuan family has a son who is good at riding and archery. He can be recruited as a Cavalry Commandant and lead the new soldiers like Cao Yilang.”
"Who are you talking about?"
Anger flashed across Liu Hong's eyes.
Last year, he transferred Yuan Kui from the Grand Commandant position and made He Jin the Great General. His purpose was to eliminate the prestige left behind by Yuan Kui when he was the Grand Commandant. It hadn't even been a year, and He Jin wanted to recruit the Yuan family?
He Jin was originally a butcher, so he naturally couldn't understand Liu Hong's anger. He immediately explained,"The eldest son of the Yuan family, Yuan Shao, Yuan Benchu!”
Liu Hong's chest was filled with rage as he roared in a low voice,""Zhun, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao will be the cavalry commandants. Each of them will recruit 5,000 soldiers and be ready to send them to various places to support them at any time!”
"Here!"
Cao Cao shouted.
Less than half a month later, the imperial army reported their defeat. Zhu Xi and Huangfu Song had been defeated and were surrounded by Guangzong.
All these years, other than the expeditionary army, the regular army of the court had been put on hold for a long time. The five schools of the northern army were all abandoned, and the number of people was not enough. How could they not be defeated?
In the study room.
Liu Hong's face darkened as he read the battle report.""They lost, they lost. I thought they could hold on for two to three months, but who knew that they would lose in just over a month!”
"Your Majesty!"
" Right now, Huangfu Song and Zhu Wei have been defeated in Yingchuan," Zhao Zhong said, trembling with fear." Lu Zhi is also fighting with the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou. The most urgent matter is to send Yuan Shao to reinforce Yingchuan!”
"Reinforcements?"
Liu Hong mocked himself." Huangfu Song and Zhu Wei led 40,000 troops and lost less than 30,000. They were trapped in Changshe City by the rebel army's commander with 100,000 troops. You're telling me that Yuan Shao's 5,000 troops are going to support them?”
Zhang Rang rolled his eyes and said respectfully,""Your Majesty, first send Cavalry Commandant Cao Cao to Yingchuan, leaving the Royal Guards and Yuan Shao's five thousand soldiers to guard the capital. Then, send the Marquis of Zhenbei to lead the army to rescue Yingchuan!”
"Can you make it in time?"
Liu Hong was worried. The royal armies were losing ground, and Lu Zhi and Zhang Jiao were in a stalemate. Even he had his doubts.
" Northguard Marquis, guarding the northern border alone!"
Zhang Rang's gaze was extremely firm as he shouted,"Your Majesty, when the Yellow Emperor Sect sent out the secret edict, the Marquis of Northern Battlefront said that he would prepare ten thousand cavalrymen to be stationed in Shangdang. As long as the order was given, he could send troops at any time. Ten thousand cavalrymen would definitely reach Yingchuan within half a month!”
"Father!"
"Immediately send Cavalry Commandant Cao Cao to reinforce Yingchuan. Cavalry Commandant Yuan Shao will lead the troops to Jizhou to assist Beizhong Lang and Lu Zhiping in eliminating the leader of the bandits, Zhang Jiao.”Liu Hong said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, the rebel army has won a great victory in Yingchuan. Should we leave Yuan Shao behind to protect Luoyang?”Zhao Zhong said nervously.
"No need!"
Liu Hong pulled out his Zhongxing Sword. A fierce look flashed across his eyes as he said coldly,""Can my sword still kill people? Can the swords of all the officials and 30,000 students of the Hongdu School still kill people? Can the Confucian archery still kill people?”
"Yes!"
A hint of dejection flashed across Zhao Zhong's eyes.
He was related to the defeat of the expeditionary army back then, so he was destined to not befriend Chen Mu.?
He was already at a disadvantage, and Zhang Rang had found an opportunity to form a relationship with Chen Mu.
This caused him to be defeated again and again in his confrontation with Zhang Rang. Now, even Liu Hong no longer trusted him!
