Chapter 23 Requisition
The Han emperor was very satisfied with the people recommended by He Jin and Grand Tutor Yuan Wei. He was an expert on military affairs, and he also had some knowledge of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun's abilities. He was relieved to leave the task of quelling the rebellion to these two people.
But after all, it was a riot in the Thirteen States, and only two people were sent to take action, so Emperor Liu Hong of Han was still a little worried.
"The rebels are powerful, do you have anyone to recommend?"
The court was silent. Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were both party members, so they strongly recommended him. But the others were not party members, so they naturally remained silent.
At this time, Zhang Rang, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up: "Your Majesty, I have a few candidates who may be able to help you relieve your worries."
"Oh? Tell me quickly, I want to hear it."
The address given by Emperor Han Liu Hong made the upright officials in the court feel refreshed. You should know that Liu Hong had previously called Zhang Rang "Father", but now he actually changed his address. It seems that the rebellion of Feng Chen and Xu Feng was indeed a great blow to the Emperor Han, and he even took his anger out on Zhang Rang and others.
Zhang Rang buried his head even lower, and his resentment towards Feng Chen and Xu Feng increased.
Zhang Rang was different from the two fools Feng Zhen and Xu Feng. He knew very well that all his power came from Liu Hong. Without Liu Hong, he was just a eunuch.
"Lord Liu Yu, Lord Liu Yan, Lord Liu Biao, Lord Liu Dai, and Lord Liu Yao are all royal relatives and have a good reputation. Youzhou, Jingzhou, Yizhou, and Yangzhou can be handed over to you. Liangzhou is remote and the foundation of the Taiping Dao is weak. Dong Zhuo, the governor of Hedong, can be sent to pacify Liangzhou. Then there are Lu Zhi and Lu Zigan, who studied under the great scholar Ma Rong. They are the best candidates to send troops to quell the rebellion."
Liu Hong nodded repeatedly. Zhang Rang's recommendation was very much to his liking, not to mention Liu Yan and other royal relatives.
Dong Zhuo was a man of good family, not a member of the party, and was in line with his own wishes. Now he had to lift the ban on the party and quell the rebellion to make the party members more powerful. He had to support some opposing sides to ensure the balance of the court, and Dong Zhuo was a good candidate.
As for Lu Zhi, he is a middle-of-the-road fence-sitter, so there is no need to worry even if he has made outstanding contributions.
More importantly, Zhang Rang had no selfish motives and even nominated Lu Zhi, who had a grudge against him. He was worthy of being his right-hand man and his confidant in the face of such major issues.
"What father said is not wrong. Let's draft the imperial edict."
[System message: The Emperor of Han appointed He Jin as the general, and led the Left General Huangfu Song, the Right General Zhu Jun, the North General Lu Zhi, the governor of Hedong Dong Zhuo, and the relatives of the Han Dynasty Liu Yan, Liu Yu, Liu Biao, Liu Dai, Liu Yao and others to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion.]

[Faction Contribution Ranking Opened]
…
At the riverside outside Luoyang city, dozens of disheveled prisoners were escorted to the riverside. Although they were crying and shouting and the scene was in chaos, the process was still completed in an orderly manner.
"Intent on treason, beheaded!"
A general shouted sternly, and the executioner raised his knife and dozens of heads fell into the basket. These heads were to be used in the Leijing Temple. Blood flowed from the headless corpses, and the entire execution ground was dyed red. Even the riverside next to it was dyed red with blood, swirling away into the distance.
The general's face looked extremely ugly as he watched his soldiers throw the corpses aside and set them on fire. He could not remember how many times he had shouted "behead" or how many people had been beheaded. He only remembered that he had arrived in the morning, and now it was already dusk.
The executioners were replaced one after another, and the machetes for beheading were sharpened again and again and broke one after another.
Looking at the densely packed prisoners behind him, the general was already numb. He was extremely grateful that he had been so kind-hearted that he reported the matter to the court and had the women involved sent to various major music schools and brothels. Otherwise, he might have to stay there for a few more days.
The number of female relatives implicated was basically three times the number of criminals. Maybe after finishing his work, he could go and enjoy the company of the rich lady whom he had to look up to before.
Seeing the heads of officials who were out of his reach in the past being chopped off one after another, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The Han Dynasty will last forever, why bother to rebel! You can't even leave a complete corpse, how stupid!"
After several more batches of prisoners were sent away, the smell of blood in the air became stronger, and the general finally reached his limit.
He really couldn't hold on any longer. Whether it was the dry throat or the pungent smell of blood, everything was attacking his nerves. He said to the guards beside him: "You come to supervise the execution, I will find someone to replace us. If this continues, I will go crazy!"
The friend who was found by the general was also distressed. Everyone knew that supervising an execution was a tough job, but when he looked at his friend's red eyes, he finally did not refuse and replaced his good brother.
After watching his friends leave, he looked at the densely packed prisoners and sighed.
Why do you have to do this? Life is hard for people all over the world, but you officials, both big and small, always live a carefree life. Why do you have to participate in the rebellion?
People are really greedy. Sometimes they just want a lot, but they don’t even consider whether they have the life to get it or to enjoy it.
I heard that there are rebellions in various places. I wonder how many people will die then.
"Bring up the prisoner!"
"cut!"
The killing was still going on and it was estimated that it would take more than a day or two to end. Even if the generals secretly ordered their personal guards to kill people at night, the process would still drag on until dawn.
In the first year of Zhongping , Zhang Jue started a rebellion. The next day, the rebels in Luoyang City were executed. A total of more than 30,000 people died, and countless people had their homes confiscated and their families destroyed.
In the area designated by the imperial court, a Jingguan built with human heads stood tall, warning all the people who saw the Jingguan of the consequences of rebellion.
[System prompt: You have been called upon to fight by the governor of Hedong! ]
Guo Hao was full of questions when he received the system message. Why was he suddenly recruited by Dong Zhuo? He and Dong Zhuo were not familiar with each other.
Just when Guo Hao was puzzled, Mr. Guang and an official knocked on his door.
Guo Hao, who knew the whole story, felt a bit of a headache. He didn't expect that the players and soldiers he trained would spread his fame so far.
Even in Xiliang, he was already a household name. It was only natural that Dong Zhuo would take a liking to him.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion was a big trouble, but it was also the best way to earn merit. If one could take advantage of the opportunity to gain a higher official position, that would be great.
After sending the messenger away, Guo Hao had no choice. It was impossible to avoid the war. Even if he was unwilling, he had no choice but to send troops.
Guo Hao summoned all the soldiers in Beiliang City and selected them carefully.
Finally, Guo Hao selected 1,300 cavalrymen, and the rest stayed behind under the unified command of Guang Lao.
Today, Beiliang City is also a big city in Wuwei County. It benefits from the coming and going of players and the population trade of the Hu people. The town is prosperous and the population has exceeded 30,000. As long as the Hu people do not move south in large numbers, Beiliang City will be safe.
