Chapter 42-Battle Report, Battle Report! The entire court was shocked! (New Book 7/7)
Luoyang, the capital.
Ever since Zhang Jiao raised the flag to rebel, the eight states had responded. Millions of Yellow Turban rebels had swept through the states and counties, and the cities had been breached and local officials killed.
In order to quell this rebellion, Spirit Monarch Liu Hong began his rare short term diligence.
Starting from the middle of February, there would be reports of defeat every day.
Qingzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou. They were all Yellow Turban soldiers.
There were sounds of rebellion everywhere.
This made Liu Hong think that his Great Han Empire was going to be overturned just like that.
In order to eliminate the Yellow Turban Army, Huangpu Song wrote a letter to suggest that Liu Hong lift the party ban and let the various states and counties recruit soldiers so that the local despots could jointly attack the Yellow Turban Army.
The scholars were able to be released and re-entered the court.
Empress He's elder brother, He Jin, was also promoted to the rank of Great General. He commanded the army and set up eight passes around Luoyang to defend against the Yellow Turban rebels.
Huangpu Song, Zhu Wei, and Lu Zhi were appointed as Left, Right, and North Generals respectively, preparing to lead the troops to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
However, the rations had not been allocated yet, and the army had not set out yet.
However, Liu Hong was already as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
Every day, he would receive news of defeat from various provinces and counties. None of them were news of victory, so Liu Hong was very flustered.
After the Yellow Turban outbreak, Huang Pusong suggested that Liu Hong lift the party ban.
Huangpu Song said that the party proscription has accumulated resentment for a long time, if and the Yellow Turban conspiracy, then the world will be in danger.
It was also because of this sentence that Liu Hong was so scared that he quickly lifted the party ban and promoted his brother-in-law He Jin in order to balance the power of the scholars.
At this moment, Yuan Kui, He Jin, and the others were gathered in the Imperial Court. A member of the Yellow Sect was reading the battle reports and requests for help sent from various places yesterday.
Huangpu Song, Zhu Xi, Lu Zhi, and the others were also listening.
"Your Majesty, Jizhou sent a report yesterday. The Yellow Turban leader Zhang Jiao led 150,000 troops to besiege Ye City.”
"Yingchuan Yellow Turban general Bo Cai led tens of thousands of rebel troops to wreak havoc in Yingchuan.”
"Nanyang's Zhang Mancheng has gathered hundreds of thousands of troops to besiege Nanyang!"
"Enough!"
Liu Hong, who was sitting on the dragon throne, roared.
Little Yellow Gate instantly knelt on the ground in fear.
"Defeat, defeat, defeat every day. Is my burly man really so weak?”
Liu Hong's face was flushed red after the roar.
Liu Hong's body had been completely hollowed out by his long life of indulgence.
If it wasn't for the fact that the world was facing a great disaster, Liu Hong probably wouldn't have been so diligent in government affairs.
"Is there any good news?" Liu Hong looked at His Highness and asked.
Under Liu Hong's questioning, everyone lowered their heads.
The Ten Attendants of the Eternal, who had once dominated the court and the people, were now in low profile.
Because the Yellow Turban Uprising had implicated the two eunuchs, there were already many voices in the court saying that they would kill the eunuchs to appease the people's anger.
Moreover, now that the scholars were paying, the eunuchs led by Zhang Rang began to protect themselves.
Liu Hong became even angrier when he saw all the ministers lowering their heads and not saying a word.
"Trash, trash, all trash!”
"Hurry up and rush the rations. Within ten days, the army will be moving out to quell the rebellion.”Liu Hong looked at Huang Pu Song, Zhu Rong, and Lu Zhi.
Then, he waved his hand impatiently and prepared to leave.
However, just as Liu Hong stood up, a series of hurried footsteps and shouts suddenly came from outside the hall.
"Your Majesty, urgent battle report for 800 li of Youzhou, urgent battle report for 800 li of Youzhou!”A member of the Yellow Sect hurriedly ran in from outside the hall.
Liu Hong stood up and frowned.
"Battle report, battle report, it's battle report every day. Haven't I seen enough battle reports? Youzhou Provincial Governor Guo Xun and Governor Liu Wei are all eating sh * t!”
Liu Hong stood up and scolded angrily.
The veins on his forehead bulged from his excitement.
"Your Majesty, please calm down.”
Zhang Rang bowed and said.
The young man from the Yellow Sect who had been berated was also shocked and knelt in the hall.
Little Yellow Gate, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his hands and said in a trembling voice,"Your Majesty, this is the battle report from Youzhou.”
"Hmm?"
Liu Hong, who was about to turn around and leave, stopped in his tracks.
In an instant, all the officials in the hall focused their attention on the letter in the hand of the young man from the Yellow Sect.
Grand Tutor Yuan Kui, Great General He Jin, Huangpu Song, Zhu Xi, Lu Zhi, and the Middle Minister Zhang Rang all looked at the Yellow Gate disciple.
"What did you say? The battle report of the victory?" Liu Hong asked in disbelief.
The yellow-skinned man kneeling on the ground nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, Your Majesty. The battle report from Youzhou is a good news!”
"Quickly read it out!"
Liu Hong said excitedly.
Ever since the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Army, Liu Hong had only received reports of defeat.
This was the first report of victory.
Grand Tutor Yuan Kui was a bit faster. He was the first to walk to the small yellow door and pick up the battle report!
