I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 8, The Yellow Turban Uprising Failed

In August of the first year of Zhongping (184), the Han court thought that the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou could not be pacified for a long time, and ordered Huangfusong to lead troops to suppress it. At that time, Zhang Jiao died of illness. County east).Zhang Liang's army was brave and good at fighting, but Huangfu's army could not win.

The next day, Huangfu Song went out according to the army.On the third day, when the defense of the rebel army was a little slack, they led the army to attack the rebel army in the early morning.The rebel army was caught off guard and was defeated. Zhang Liang died in battle, [-] soldiers were killed, and more than [-] died by jumping into the river.In November, Huangfu Song took advantage of the victory to attack, and together with Julu prefect Guo Dian defeated Zhang Jiao's younger brother Zhang Baojun in Xiaquyang (now west of Quyang, Hebei), and beheaded more than [-] people. Zhang Bao died in battle.

So far, Huangfu Song has pacified the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou, paid homage to General Zuo Cheqi, led Jizhou Mu, and made Huailihou.

The main forces of the Yellow Turbans were all wiped out by the Han army, and the Yellow Turban Uprising finally failed after nine months of struggle.

Zhang Jiao died of illness, and the news of the failure of the Yellow Turban Uprising spread to Xu Wei's valley.

You must know that before the Yellow Turban Uprising, floods, droughts, locusts, and epidemics broke out one after another in Jizhou, but the court ignored them. No officials cared about the lives of these grassroots people, so that there were more than one million refugees in Jizhou. The people have fallen into despair!

Only Zhang Jiao led the followers of the Taiping Dao to find ways to save the people. The local people in Jizhou basically received Zhang Jiao's favor, which is why Zhang Jiao has such great prestige.

When their benefactor died, everyone was naturally grieved, and more importantly, everyone knew that there was no one who helped them when they were down.

But the news of Zhang Jiao's death and the failure of the Yellow Turban Uprising was a good thing for Xu Wei. This damn war was finally over.

He finally didn't have to hide in the mountains, and he didn't have to be afraid of being hacked to death by rebels.

Xu Wei remembered that the next few years would be peacetime for the great Han people, until Dong Zhuo entered the capital, when the real troubled times would begin. The Central Plains was raging with war, and there was no war in the Jingzhou area.

So he found Old Man Wang and Old Man Niu and said, "The war is over now, let's go down the mountain to live a peaceful life!"

Old man Wang was surprised: "The captain wants to abandon us?"

Xu Wei said: "Next, I plan to settle down in Jingzhou. If you are willing to follow me, you can go with me."

After all, after living together for more than three months, Xu Wei didn't want to see them die in the chaos of war, and with them, he didn't have to start all over again. Under the command of these three months, the five hundred people in the valley have become juniors. industrial workers.

"Jingzhou!" For Old Man Wang and the others, this was already far away.At this time, the places developed by the Han Dynasty were the Central Plains, Guanzhong, and Shuzhong. Jingzhou was a barren land for the people of the Han Dynasty, and its status was not even as good as that of Youzhou on the border. They didn't want to go to such a barren land at all.

The old man Niu said regretfully: "Captain Xu, you gave up such a big family business like this? Don't you think it's a pity?"

Xiaoshanggu has been completed as a mini industrial town. There are three kilns for making bricks, charcoal and pottery, a blacksmith shop for various farm tools and swords, and a carpenter shop for wheelbarrows and carriages. And all kinds of rattan armor, all kinds of rattan baskets, can earn millions of dollars every month, the city wall has been built, and the safety is guaranteed. It can be regarded as a dock.

In the eyes of the old man Niu, this is a great family business, and it is no longer lost to the local tyrants in Jizhou.

Xu Wei smiled wryly and said, "Hundreds of thousands of people are starving around us. This place is a crater that will engulf us at any time. It would be a pity to give up."

After the failure of the Yellow Turban Uprising, the Huangjin Qu Shuai, who had escaped from birth, fled to Taihang Mountain to escape the pursuit of the court. After they came to the deep mountain, they recruited refugees again. Now the refugees around them have begun to gather into several groups. There are already kinds of mountains in the mountains. It feels like the rain is coming and the wind is filling the building.For Xu Wei now, it is safe outside the mountain!
Old man Wang said: "Captain Xu, you are as capable as a great virtuous teacher, so you can't help everyone. If you leave like this, the people on the mountain may not be able to survive this winter."

Xu Wei shook his head and said: "I don't have this ability. I can't do things that even great and virtuous teachers can't do. If you want to survive, you can only run to the south. This war has destroyed the foundation of the big man. In the future, the Central Plains will Stepping into the troubled times like the Warring States Period, although Jingzhou is remote, it will not be as frequent as Jizhou."

Old man Wang shook his head helplessly and said, "I'm afraid the imperial court won't let us go. In Quyang, 5 of us surrendered to the imperial court, but we were not forced to jump into the river by Huangfu Song. The more than [-] people captured by him were also killed by the imperial court." It was clean, and our bones were built into a "Jingguan".

"The officials of the imperial court thought that using such a method would frighten us and prevent us grassroots from rebelling, but how did they know that no one wanted to rebel, but the officials did not give us a way out, and millions of people wailed and they also regarded it as I can’t hear it, I can’t see it, since sooner or later I’m going to die, why don’t I pull a backrest before I die!”

The old man Niu also said helplessly: "A group of people like us appearing in the sight of court officials, they can't let us go! For grassroots like us, the officials will only kill them."

To be honest, if he hadn't come to this era and saw these things with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that this was what Huangfusong did. Huangfusong's personality shouldn't be a loyal minister who is honest and loyal to the sky. Even if the emperor was held hostage by Dong Zhuo, he would never leave.Killing captives, moreover hundreds of thousands at a time, shouldn't this be something Dong Zhuo did?
But the reality is that Huangfusong not only killed prisoners, but also killed more than Dong Zhuo. The cruelty of the rulers of this era exceeded Xu Wei's imagination.Their method of solving the problem is also extremely simple and rude. As long as the rebels are all killed and the problem of annexing the land cannot be solved, they will simply kill all the extra people, and even use one of these methods. There is no one out of ten.

This kind of cruelty even scared Xu Wei. As a person in the peaceful era, he rarely encountered murderers, but Jizhou had several massacres of more than [-] people, and these massacres can be said to have happened around him. , for the first time he knew the horror of troubled times.

Such a scene did not arouse Xu Wei's lofty ambitions. He wanted to change the world, but he wanted to escape from here. Going to Jingzhou has become a paradise in Xu Wei's heart. It seems that only going to Jingzhou will leave this terrifying world!
