. After the death of Qin, the Chu and Han dynasties, Han Gaozu Liu Bang eliminated the Chu king Xiang Yu and established the Han Dynasty. When it was passed on to Emperor Huan, he appointed eunuchs
and brutalized loyal people. By the time of Emperor Lingdi, the power of eunuchs was even more rampant. When General Dou Wu and Chen Fan planned to eliminate the eunuchs, they were killed by the eunuchs because
their secret was leaked. These ten eunuchs, known as the Ten Constant Servants, played Emperor Lingdi as a puppet. Emperor Lingdi
went so far as to call the head of the group, Zhang Jean, "Father". When the eunuchs were in power, the sky was full of calamities. Cai Yong, the councilor, informed Emperor Ling of the disaster, but he was framed by the eunuchs and was sent back to his hometown. The world has been in chaos ever since, and thieves are on the prowl.
There were three brothers in Julu County: Zhang Jiao (张角), Zhang Bao (张宝), and Zhang Liang (张梁). Zhang Jiao was a scholar who failed to get a degree, but by chance
he was given three volumes of a heavenly book called "The Essential Art of Peace". Zhang Jiao familiarized himself with the heavenly books and learned to call the wind and rain, and turn beans into soldiers.
In the first year of Zhongping's reign, a plague spread, and Zhang Jiao saved the lives of countless people with his magic spells, calling himself "The Great Wise Teacher". He taught 500 disciples and traveled around the world, setting up 36 parties and gathering hundreds of thousands of people to preach: "The sky is dead and the yellow sky is now standing. The year is in the first year, the world is very
lucky." He sent his disciple Ma Yuanyi to Luoyang with gold and silver treasures, and befriended the eunuch Feng Sei as an insider. He also ordered to rush to make
yellow flags and set a date for the uprising. Because something happened to the disciples in Tangzhou, the officials found out and reported to the court, General He Jin killed Ma Yuanyi
and captured Feng Swei. Zhang Jiao heard the news, but only a hasty uprising, calling himself "General Tian Gong", Zhang Bao called "Earth Gong
General", Zhang Liang called "General Ren Gong". The army was so powerful that the government troops fled. When Emperor Ling was informed, he sent
Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun to lead the army to fight against the bandits.
Liu Yan, the governor of Youzhou, learned of Zhang Jiao's attack and posted a notice to recruit volunteers. There was a hero in Zhuo County, born eight feet long, with two ears
dropping shoulders and hands above the knees, who was a descendant of Emperor Jingdi of Han Dynasty, surnamed Liu Bei, character Xuan De, and was twenty-eight years old. His family lived in Zhuo County
Lou Sang Village, near which there was a large mulberry tree, a hundred feet high and as large as a car cover from a distance. A physiognomist once predicted, "This family is going to produce a noble
man." When Liu Bei was a child playing under the tree with his children, he once said, "As the son of heaven, I should ride in this car." He was well read,
had studied under Zheng Xuan and Lu Zhi, and was good friends with Gongsun Zan. Because of his father's early death, his family fell into ruin, and he had to sell straw shoes and weave mats
to make ends meet. When he read the recruitment list, he could not help but sigh long and hard. Suddenly, I heard someone behind me say in a loud voice: "A man does not contribute to the country
power, what is the sigh?" Liu Bei turned back to look, the man was eight feet tall, head like a leopard, eyes like a copper ring, swallow chin, beard
root upright, like a tiger's whiskers, speak like thunder, asked him his name. The man said: "My name is Zhang Fei, my character Yide, my ancestors
live in Zhuo County, some family property, sell wine and kill pigs for a living, specializing in making friends with the world's great heroes. Just now I saw you reading the list and sighing long, so I came to ask
." Liu Bei said he wanted to break the bandits, but the heart is more than enough, Zhang Fei said he would like to money to raise troops, with Liu Bei **** lift the big thing, the two of them
to a hotel drinking wine. Drinking, see a big man push a car to the door to stop, into the store, called the bartender quickly get wine, eat
to join the army. Liu Bei saw the big man is nine feet tall, beard length of two feet, face like red jujube, phoenix eyes, silkworm eyebrow, look good, so
invited him to sit with him, asked him his name. The big man said: "My name is Guan Yu, word Shou Chang, later changed to Yun Chang, Hedong Xie Liang people. I have been on the run for five or six years because I killed a bandit in a fight. I heard that there was a recruitment here, so I came to join the army." The more the three of them talked, the more they talked, and they came to Zhang Fei's Zhuang
to discuss the big things. Zhang Fei said, "There is a peach orchard behind my bank, and the peach blossoms are in full bloom. Tomorrow we will go to the orchard to worship heaven and earth, and become
brothers, and work together to ****tu great things." The next day, Zhang Fei in the peach garden prepared Wu Niu, white horse and other sacrificial rites, the three incense burning kneeling
worship, made a vow: "I three people to worship as brothers of different surnames, work together to save the country to help the country, up to repay the country, down to the peace of the people.
Not
Seeking the same year, the same month, the same day of life, only wish the same year, the same month, the same day of death. The government has also been working on the development of a new system for the protection of human rights, which will be implemented in the coming years. Back to righteousness and forget the grace, heaven and earth **** kill!"
Liu Bei is the eldest brother, Guan Yu is the second brother, Zhang Fei is the third brother. After sacrificing heaven and earth, they killed cows and set up wine, recruited three hundred warriors, and drank painfully
for a day. The three were worried about the lack of war horses and weapons, came two horse trading guests, presented them with fifty horses, gold and silver 500 taels
, iron 1,000 catties. Liu Bei thanked the guests and invited expert craftsmen to build a pair of swords for him, an eighty-two-catty
green dragon crescent sword for Guan Yu, an eight-point steel spear for Zhang Fei, and armor. Within a few days, they gathered more than 500 men and went to join
Liu Yan. Liu Yan was very happy to see the three of them, and then he discussed his seniority with Liu Bei, who was Liu Bei's distant uncle, so he called them uncle and nephew
.
In the battle with the Yellow Turbans, the three not only with strong martial arts, but also clever use of stratagems, and even won the battle. When Liu Bei heard that Lu
Shi and Zhang Jiao were fighting in Guangzong, he led his army to support them because he had once worshipped Lu Zhi as a teacher. Lu Zhi told Liu Bei to go to Yingchuan to support Huangfu Song and
Zhu Jun, so Liu Bei led his army to go there by night. Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun made a plan to attack the Yellow Turbans with fire, burning Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang to a great defeat. The defeated army
was fleeing for their lives when they ran into Cao Cao leading his army to block the road, and were killed by more than 10,000 more people. Cao Cao's father's name was Cao Song, and he was originally surnamed Xiahou, which was changed to Cao because he had
passed
over
to the eunuch Cao Sheng. Cao Cao's nickname was A Zou (阿瞒), his initials were Meng De (孟德), and since childhood he had been a hunter, singer and dancer, and a trickster. When several
famous physiognomists met him, they said, "In times of peace you are a capable minister, but in times of war you are a treacherous one." At the age of twenty, he was promoted to the rank of filial piety廉
and was appointed as the northern lieutenant of Luoyang, in charge of public security, and he showed no mercy to anyone who violated the prohibition, so that no one of the powerful and rich in Luoyang dared to violate the prohibition any more.
This was the first time he was appointed as the governor of Dunqiu County. Later, he became the magistrate of Dunqiu County, and after the Yellow Turban Uprising he was changed to a riding captain. He met Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun
and led his men to pursue Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang.
Liu Bei led his army to Yingchuan, where the Yellow Turbans had fled in defeat, and Huangfu Song said, "Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang are defeated, so you'd better go back to support Lu
Shi." Liu Bei led his troops back again. Halfway there, he saw a group of people escorting a prison wagon in which Lu Zhi was being held captive. Liu Bei
panickedly dismounted from his horse and asked, Lu Zhi said, "I have fought Zhang Jiao several times, but I could not win for a while because of his sorcery. The imperial court sent Huangmen Zuo Feng
to supervise the army, Zuo Feng asked me for a bribe, I said that the military expenditure is not enough, no money to flatter you. He said I was neglecting the army, so the court sent Zhonglang
General Dong Zhuo to lead the army in my place, and escorted me back to the capital for questioning." Zhang Fei became furious and wanted to kill the escorting soldiers to save Lu Zhi, but Liu Bei was busy restraining
him, saying, "The court will have its own public judgment, don't act recklessly!" After Lu Zhi was escorted away, the three of them decided to go back to Zhuo County first. After walking for two days
, they suddenly heard the sound of killing in the sky, and saw that the official army was defeated, and the Yellow Turbans were chasing and killing all over the place, with "Tian Gong will
army" written on the flag. Liu Bei said, "Zhang Jiao is coming, let's join the battle at once!" The three of them led their men and horses to charge forward. Zhang Jiao was in hot pursuit of Dong Zhuo, and was
caught off guard by Liu Bei's three men, he retreated 50 miles in defeat and saved Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo asked the three men what their official positions were, and Liu Bei said they were
righteous soldiers and had no official positions. Dong Zhuo then changed his face to the three benefactors and could not even salute them. Zhang Fei cursed: "We fought in blood to save
this guy, but he is so rude, not to kill him is difficult to eliminate the anger in my chest!" He drew his sword to kill Dong Zhuo. Liu Bei and Guan Yu were busy stopping him and advised
: "He is a court official, how can you just kill him?" Zhang Fei said, "I'm not willing to listen to him!" Liu Bei said, "We three
people live and **** die together, let's all go." The three of them took their own men and horses to Zhu Jun, and joined forces to crush Zhang Bao
Zhang Bao led 80,000 to 90,000 men to canton behind the mountain, and Zhu Jun sent Liu Bei as the vanguard to fight. Zhang Bao
Sent his deputy general Gao Sheng to fight with Zhang
Fei, and Zhang Fei was stabbed to death in a few rounds. Zhang Bao then put on his hair and sword and performed a demonic spell. The wind and thunder were loud, a black gas descended from
the sky, and countless men and horses came out from the black gas. Liu Bei's men and horses were in great confusion and retreated in defeat. The next day, Liu Bei ordered Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to lead
1,000 men and horses to ambush on the ridge, each bringing blood of pigs, sheep and dogs. When Zhang Bao came out to fight, he used demonic magic again, Liu Bei fled back to his horse, and Zhang Bao chased after him
. Just after chasing him over the hill, Guan and Zhang set off their trumpets and cannons, and the soldiers poured out their blood, breaking the demonic spell. Zhang Bao is trying to go back to the army, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei a
all kill out, Liu Bei, Zhu Jun waved the army to kill, Zhang Bao defeated. Liu Bei caught up with Zhang Bao and shot him in the left arm. Zhang Bao fled into Yangcheng
and refused to come out. Zhu Jun then ordered his men to surround Yang Cheng. Within a few days, scouts reported, "
Because Dong Zhuo had lost many battles, the court
ordered Huangfu Song to replace Dong Zhuo. When Huangfu Song arrived, Zhang Jiao was already dead, and he fought with Zhang Liang, winning seven battles in a row and killing Zhang
Liang in Quyang. The court appointed Huangfu Song as the general of the Che Cavalry and the pastor of Jizhou. After Huangfu Song submitted a report stating that Lu Zhi had been meritorious and not guilty, the court reinstated Lu Zhi to his former post. Cao Cao helped Huangfu Song in his crusade against the bandits, and was made Minister of Jinan." Upon hearing this, Zhu Jun ordered his men to step up their attack on
Yangcheng. Seeing that the situation was not favorable, Yan Zheng, a bandit general, assassinated Zhang Bao and opened the city to surrender. Zhu Jun pacified
number of counties in the vicinity and reported his success to the imperial court.
The remaining Yellow Turbans, Zhao Hong, Han Zhong, and Sun Zhong, led tens of thousands of people to occupy Wancheng and avenge Zhang Jiao's death. The court ordered Zhu Jun
to crush them. Zhu Jun ordered Liu, Guan and Zhang to attack the southwest corner of the city, and he himself attacked the northeast corner of the city, killing Han Zhong and defeating him. Han Zhong abandoned the city and fled. Zhu Jun
and Liu, Guan, and
Zhang led their troops to cover up the city and shot Han Zhong to death. Zhao Hong and Sun Zhong led their men to meet them, Zhu Jun had to retreat, and Zhao
Hong and others captured Wancheng again. Zhu Jun from
city ten miles down the fortress, see due east came a group of people, the leader of the general was born wide forehead broad face, tiger back and waist, is the Wu County Fu Chun people, surnamed
Sun name Jian word Wentai, for the Sun Zi's descendants.
He became famous for killing pirates when he was seventeen years old, became a lieutenant, and was promoted to be the prime minister of Xuyi and the prime minister of Xiapi after his success in quelling the rebellion. When the Yellow Turbans revolted, he gathered more than 1,500 elite soldiers from Huai
and Si and came to support Zhu Jun. Zhu Jun
let Sun Jian fight at the south gate, Liu Bei fight at the north gate, and himself fight at the west gate,
leaving the east gate behind. Sun Jian was the first to ascend the city and killed more than twenty of the enemy, and then flew from the city to pounce on Zhao Hong and killed him. Sun Zhong fled to the
north gate and was killed by an arrow from Liu Bei. More than ten thousand of the thieves and soldiers were killed, and countless surrendered. More than ten counties around Nanyang were quickly recaptured
by the official army.
Ju Jun returned to the capital with his troops and the court made him a Che Cavalry General and Yin of Henan. He then reported the merits of Sun Jian, Liu
Bei and others. Sun Jian sent
the favor, and was soon made a county secretary and went to his office. Liu Bei waited for many days without being rewarded, and told Zhang Jun, a lieutenant, about the merits of the three men
, and Zhang Jun entered the court and told Emperor Ling, "The Yellow Turban Rebellion is due to the authoritarianism of the Ten Standing Ministers, which has caused great chaos in the world. Now, we should behead the Ten
Standing Functionaries first, and reward those who have meritorious achievements, and the world will be peaceful." The Ten Standing Attendants accused Zhang Jun of deceiving his master, so Emperor Ling ordered his warriors to drive Zhang Jun away
. Fearing that the matter would get out of hand, the Ten Standing Fathers asked Emperor Ling to reward those who had made meritorious contributions to quelling the rebellion, and Emperor Ling appointed Liu Bei as the lieutenant of Anxi County in Zhongshan Prefecture, Dingzhou Prefecture.
Liu Bei demobilized his army and soldiers, and took only Guan and Zhang and more than 20 followers with him to his office. After his arrival, he worked hard to govern the county and won the hearts of the people. Less than four months later, the imperial court suddenly issued a decree to weed out civilians who had been appointed to government posts because of their military service. Liu Bei was worried that he would be eliminated, when
The governor came to the county to inspect. Liu Bei went out of the city to meet, the governor post even horse are not down, only lift the whip tip to let Liu Bei up, Guan, Zhang has moved
anger. The first time I saw him was when he was in a hotel, and he was sitting on the south side of the room, letting Liu Bei stand at the bottom of the stairs, and after a long time, he asked: "What is the origin of Liu County Lieutenant
" Liu Bei said: "I am the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan, and I have participated in the elimination of the Yellow Turbans since Zhuo County, and I have fought more than thirty battles of various sizes, and some of them were meritorious, and it was only because of these merits that I got this position". " The governor scolded: "You dare to pretend to be a royal relative and misrepresent your merits, the court will eliminate officials like you!
"Liu Bei didn't dare to contradict and returned to the Yamen. The county official said, "The governor and postman want nothing more than to ask for a bribe." Liu Bei said, "I am clean in both sleeves
, where is the money to give him?" The next day, the governor called the county officials and ordered them to falsely accuse the county lieutenant of harming the people. Liu Bei went to beg for mercy several times
, but was blocked out. Zhang Fei had a stomach of sulking, drank a few cups of wine, passed by the hotel door, saw dozens of old people in front of the hotel door
crying bitterly, begging the governor and post not to punish Liu Bei, and in turn, was severely beaten by the police officers. Zhang Fei was furious, ran into the hotel, first dispersed minions, and then
run to the back room, saw the postal inspector is torturing the county official, cursing: "Harming the people thief, recognize me?" The head grabbed the governor post, pulled out of the door,
Tied to the hitching post, folded down the willow, to the governor post two legs hit randomly, straight broken dozens of roots. Liu Bei is bored, heard the noise outside
, go out to see, see Zhang Fei is angrily flogging the governor post, startled, busy asking why, Zhang Fei said: "This kind of harm to the people thief, keep him what
what use?" The governor of the post panicked and pleaded: "Xuan De Gong save me." Liu Bei could not bear it, so he asked Zhang Fei to stop. Guan Yu came and said,
"You have made so many great achievements, but you have only become a small lieutenant, and you have been insulted by the postal inspector, why don't you kill this kid, abandon your official position and go home, and then
then you can think of a great plan." Liu Bei took the official seal and hung it around the neck of the governor and post, and the three of them left Anxi County. The Dupu told the governor of Dingzhou
, who sent men to capture the three. The three went to Huazhou to join Liu Chou and hid.
