Chen Manor.
"My lord, we did not fail you. This time, we brought back a total of 3,000 cattle and sheep and 2,000 horses.”
"What a pity. If it weren't for the cold, we would have gained even more.”
"Well done, thank you for your hard work.”
Looking at the two men in front of him, Chen Zhan praised them generously.
These two people were called Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang respectively. They were famous merchants in the Zhongshan Kingdom, but they were secretly subdued by Chen Zhan a few years ago.
Over the years, they had smuggled salt, wine, silk, satin, and other goods to the frontier, exchanging them for many horses, cattle, sheep, and other materials for Chen Zhan.
It could be said that their contributions were no less than Guan Yu and the rest.
After a round of greetings, Chen Zhan said," The two of you came back just in time. I have something that I was worried about not having a suitable person to do."”
Hearing this, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping looked at each other and said in unison,"My lord, if there's anything you need, just tell me.”
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble the two of you.”"If nothing unexpected happens, there might be some unrest in the Great Han Dynasty in the near future," Chen Zhan said in a deep voice as he looked at the two of them.”
"I don't know how many people will be displaced by then. I want the two of you to go to Bingji separately. If what I said is true, try to attract some refugees to Liaoxi.”
In a chaotic world, human lives were like weeds, but population was the most important strategic resource.
Chen Zhan's actions were to save people and also to increase the potential of Liaoxi.
"My lord is very kind!"
"My lord is truly a saint."
After hearing Chen Zhan's words, Zhang Shiping and the other two were stunned at first, then they bowed with admiration.
To be able to follow such a lord, their lives were enough.
"Cough cough, the two gentlemen should go back and have a good rest. Don't tire yourself out.”
Being compared to a saint, even Chen Zhan himself felt a little embarrassed.
After Zhang and Su left, Dark One suddenly appeared.
"An Yi greets my lord!"
"What's the matter?"
"Master, I just received news that the Path of Peace has decided to start an uprising at noon tomorrow because they were betrayed by traitors.”
An Yi's hoarse voice came from under the black cloth.
"It actually started so soon?”Chen Zhan narrowed his eyes. This was much earlier than he had expected.
However, it did not matter. It did not affect him much.
Then he ordered," Pay attention to the movements of the rebel army at all times. Send a message to Wu Yong in Luoyang and let him contact Zhang Rang. Tell him that I need an opportunity."”
"Here! This subordinate will do it now!"
Dark One's voice was slightly serious. He knew the importance of these two things.
After watching him leave, Chen Zhan's voice sounded again,"Keep a close watch on the followers of the Path of Peace in Liaoxi, Liaodong, and Xuantu counties. Kill them without mercy if there are any abnormal movements!”
"Here!"
An ethereal voice rang out in the darkness, and then a faintly discernible figure disappeared.
"I hope Wu Yong won't disappoint me!”Chen Zhan muttered to himself.
The Wise Star Wu Yong was rewarded by the system five years ago. He was then sent to Luoyang, where he was mainly responsible for making friends with the rich and powerful.
Zhang Rang's path was built by Wu Yong.
Walking out of the room, Chen Zhan looked at the sky. Not long ago, it was still clear, but now it was covered in dark clouds.
"A storm is coming…"
After muttering to himself, Chen Zhan mounted his warhorse and headed straight for Lulong's camp.
……
On February 5, 184 AD, Tang Zhou, a follower of the Taiping Road, rebelled and reported to the court about the Taiping Road plotting an uprising.
Emperor Ling of Han was furious, and all the civil and military officials in the court were shocked.
On that day, in Luoyang, more than 1,000 followers of the Path of Peace were beheaded.
The core disciple Ma Yuanyi was torn apart at Caishikou.
Due to this unforeseen event, Zhang Jiao, the leader of the Path of Peace and a great teacher, had no choice but to start an uprising in advance.
On February 7th, he seized Julu Prefecture in Jizhou and announced it to the world.
It was known as "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should be established, the year is in the sixty-year cycle, and the world is in good luck!"”
According to the Five Virtues Cycle, the Great Han Dynasty had the Fire Virtue and should be replaced by the Earth Virtue.
Therefore, Zhang Jiao had the Revolutionary Army wear Yellow Turban on their heads, so the Revolutionary Army was also known as the Yellow Turban Army.
This uprising was also known as the 'Yellow Turban Uprising.'
After Zhang Jiao started the uprising, the followers of Taiping Taoism in Qing, Xu, Yan, Yang, Yu, and other states responded.
First, there were Bocai and Pengtuo, who rebelled in Yingchuan and Runan.
Later, Zhang Mancheng assassinated Nanyang County Chief Zhu Gong and gathered his troops in Wan City. With the city as the center, they quickly spread out in all directions.
According to the agreement, they were divided into thirty-six groups. Each group had more than ten thousand people, and each group had thousands.
In just a few days, the Yellow Turban Army had grown to a million soldiers, and their numbers were still increasing.
For a moment, the Yellow Turban Army was in a great momentum, and its followers gathered. The entire Great Han Dynasty was shocked.
……
Luoyang, Weiyang Palace.
Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong sat on the dragon throne with a cold expression as he looked at the civil and military officials below him.
The mighty emperor's prestige pressed down, making all the ministers tremble in fear.
He didn't expect that the Emperor, who only knew how to eat, drink, and play, would have such a dignified side.
"The traitor Zhang Jiao has launched a rebellion. Do you have any countermeasures?”
Suddenly, Liu Hong's cold voice rang out.
At this moment, he wished he could cut some of his subordinates into pieces. If Tang Zhou had not revealed the secret, he might not even have known that Luoyang had been breached.
When he thought of this, he could not help but feel a chill down his spine. Everyone he looked at wanted to harm him.
However, he had no choice but to rely on a certain group of people.
Such a situation really made Liu Hong feel aggrieved.
