Chapter 203 Therefore, Liu Bei likes to be allies with eunuchs
It's not easy for the eunuchs to fight desperately to earn some "retirement money" for themselves. One counts as one, and they don't want to spend too much money on this kind of thing.

Moreover, Liu Hong's appetite has no limit. He is a brave man who can only get in and out. He can absorb as much money as he has, and then use it for personal enjoyment. Spending money is like water.

Eunuchs can indeed make money, but there is a limit to the speed at which they can make money, but there is no limit to the speed at which Liu Hong can spend money. If this happens a few times, they feel that they have become Liu Hong's savings institution.

Liu Bei's cut off and timely notification made it possible for him to stop the loss in time, which made him very grateful to Liu Bei.

Sincerely thank you.

"Your thanks are very valuable. I will write it down. If I am in any danger in the future, it will be up to you."

Liu Bei smiled and patted Zhang Rang on the shoulder.

Zhang Rang froze for a moment, then laughed.

"It's good to be an ally with you. It didn't make me feel like I was seeking skin from a tiger."

"Of course, because we have a common enemy, the sincere cooperation between us is obviously more beneficial than harmful to both of us. I can't think of any need to betray you, and I can't think of any need for you either. would betray me."

In this way, Jincheng County was controlled by the rebels.

But the situation did not get better because of this, and the rebels did not stop attacking the city because of this.

What scholars want is too abstract and elegant, and Liu Bei doesn't understand it, so it's not easy to satisfy them.

Huang Zhongyi Conghu was a group of nomadic people attached to the Eastern Han Dynasty and driven by the Eastern Han Dynasty. At first, the Yuezhi people were the main people. Later, as the Yuezhi people and the Qiang people continued to blend, they gradually became the Qiang people.

As a result, this Zuo Chang didn't know if he had eaten too much to block his mind, and actually embezzled tens of millions of money for conscription, so that the Liangzhou government didn't have enough troops to contain the rebels.

Although Gai Xun defended Ayang County, Zuo Chang did not seize this opportunity to attack the rebels in order to eliminate them. Instead, he was timid and did not move, so that the rebels turned to Jincheng County by the way.

However, the whole court obviously did not take the small rebellion in this border area seriously. The rebellion of the Yellow Turban Army in many places was suppressed by the empire. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty have strong confidence that Liangzhou can solve this matter .

On the fifth day of November, Liu Hong, who was obsessed with having fun and shy things with the beauties who had just entered the palace, seemed to realize that he had something to do, so he stuck his head out of the beauties' holes and looked at them. It was announced that the currency would be changed.

After the rebels moved into Jincheng County, they pretended to surrender and asked to see the famous officials in the city, Bian Yun and Han Yue, saying that they wanted to negotiate with them, as long as they were willing to come out and meet, they were willing to surrender.

Liu Bei shook his head and said: "At least until the scholars are completely in decline, we can all be allies, allies with high reputation, and allies who can entrust each other to do things."

What eunuchs want is very clear and vulgar, and it is easy to satisfy them.

But it seems that Zhongping's reign name is not a good one. It was not long after it was announced, and December has not yet arrived. Kansai Express.

In the rebel organization, the Qiang people occupy a dominant position, but because the Han people are powerful and the officers have knowledge, they can often occupy a leading position and have a certain influence on the rebel army.

There was a rebellion in Liangzhou.

The Qiang people from Beidi County, Anding County, Jincheng County, Longxi County, Huahan, Heguan and other places rebelled one after another. The land of Liangzhou was full of wars, and rebels were everywhere.

At the beginning, Liangzhou dispatched Huang Zhongyi Conghu, who had the nature of frontier troops and mercenaries, as the main force to quell the rebellion of these Qiang people. He never thought that after these Huang Zhongyi Conghu arrived at the front line, they would be in arrears of military expenses and insufficient rewards. For other reasons, a mutiny broke out, killing the Han chief, and united with the local rebellious Qiang people to rebel together.

During this period, Gai Xun repeatedly asked Zuo Chang to send troops to aid Jincheng County, but Zuo Chang was afraid of the enemy and resolutely refused.

Bian Yun and Han Yue didn't want to go out of the city to meet each other at first, thinking it was a fraud, but Chen Yi, the prefect of Jincheng, wanted to calm things down quickly and make meritorious deeds, so he urged them to go out of the city to meet the Liangzhou uprising army, so the rebels successfully hijacked Bian Yun He and Han Yue took advantage of the situation to break through the city and kill Chen Yi.

Nevertheless, because of Gai Xun's great prestige and power, the rebels did not dare to confront him head-on, so they retreated and lifted the siege of Ji County. The crisis was temporarily lifted, and Zuo Chang survived.

In addition, they had learned that the Taipingdao uprising broke out in the Central Plains before, so they thought that the Eastern Han Empire was weak and weak, so they decided to rebel and break away from the rule of the Eastern Han Empire.

Bian Yun and Han Yue felt ashamed, but they also said that the responsibility lies with Zuo Chang. If Zuo Chang supports Jincheng County in time, Jincheng County can be preserved and the prefect will not die. They still have a chance to reform themselves, but in this situation, they have already There is no choice.

The scale of the rebellion was not small.

So the rebels directly attacked Ji County, Liangzhou Prefecture, which is located in Hanyang County. Zuo Chang was surrounded in Ji County and could not escape.

Because they could not bear the endless abuse and extortion of bribes from the imperial officials in Liangzhou, many Qiang people did not intend to endure it any longer.

Zhang Rang stared at Liu Bei and nodded slowly.

The battle has ended like this, and many officials of the empire have been killed. The court cannot forgive them. The rebels have already opened their bows and there is no turning back.

Perhaps it was for a good start. Liu Hong was tired of the "Guanghe" reign name that brought him too much uncertainty, so he planned to change his reign name to live a stable and comfortable life.

After arriving in Ji County, Gai Xun was surprised to learn that Bian Yun and Han Yue, officials from Jincheng County who had been trapped by the rebels before, had joined the rebels and even became one of the leaders of the rebels. He angrily asked them why they betrayed like this Court favor.

Again, it is much easier to discuss cooperation with eunuchs than with scholars.

It sounds like something bad is going to happen.

They elected Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou, former officers of Huang Zhongyi Conghu, as generals to lead them, and they attacked cities and lands, harassed cities, and looted property, causing very bad influence.

The reign of Guanghe came to an end, and the reign of Zhongping came.

After they merged with the rebel army, the composition of the rebel army became more complicated. It can be said that most of them are Qiang people, but there are also many miscellaneous Hus of unknown ethnicity, and some Han Chinese tyrants from Yicong in Liangzhou joined them, such as Local tyrants Song Yang, Wang Guo and others.

Zuo Chang originally thought that Gai Xun would not be able to defeat the rebels, and planned to execute him by military law when he returned from defeat, but he did not expect that Gai Xun would explode and defend Ayang County with inferior forces. Finally gave up attacking Ayang County.

Therefore, Liu Bei likes to be allies with eunuchs.

Shi Gaixun, the prestige of Hanyang County Governor in Liangzhou, also thought that Zuo Chang ate too much and his brain was blocked, so he tried to persuade him not to embezzle military expenses, but Zuo Chang thought it was a hindrance, so he gave Gaixun an army, Let him go to Ayang County in Hanyang County to face the attacking rebels.

Of course, the ethnic issue is not a problem at this time. Whether it is the Qiang rebels or the Han rebels, they all have only one purpose-Lao Tzu wants to rebel against the Luoyang court!
Facing this group of nondescript rebels under the banner of responding to the Yellow Turban Army, Zuo Chang, the governor of Liangzhou, seemed to have a good idea.

According to him, he said that he was raising an army to fight against these rebels. He said that the rebels were all petty thieves. military.

"Yes, ally."

Some generals in the army didn't want to rescue this bastard assassin who committed suicide, but Gai Xun reprimanded them and told them to focus on the overall situation, so they were able to lead the army to support Ji County.

This battle can only continue to be fought.

In December of the first year of Zhongping, relevant news was sent to Luoyang.

Only then did the ministers and ministers in the court learn that Zuo Chang, who spoke so boldly, had cleverly avoided all the correct options and selected the extremely wrong option with his extremely ghostly movements in just over 20 days. Push the chaos in Liangzhou into the abyss.

This made them extremely annoyed.
