The above-mentioned "Prelude to the Liangzhou Rebellion", the characters involved, it seems that the Fubo general Ma Yuan, who has not yet played soy sauce, is more famous.
In fact, the size of the rebel army is not small, but the movement is not large, I once mentioned my idea: Qianghu, or the rebels, the initial intention was only to take Liangzhou, which was simpler than the Yellow Turban Army.
There were many other reasons, the most important one was that the eunuchs obstructed from it, and since they hung up their horns, they constantly blew the wind of "so many delicacies in the country" to the Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong, and even killed Liu Tao and other loyal subjects for this.
I mentioned Liu Tao in the same series of articles, before the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Uprising, he had written to Situ Yang Ci one after another, stating that he was a very knowledgeable and good official.
Take this opportunity to sigh: before and after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, a large number of loyal ministers liang were falsely accused of eunuchs, including Zhongchang Shi Lü Qiang, Shi Zhong Xiangxu, Lang Zhong Zhang Jun, Le An Taishou Lu Kang, Sima Fu Xie of the Protector Army, and so on, the most famous of which was Wang Yun, who was then the assassin of Yuzhou.
Wang Yun was one of the "culprits" that led to the demise of the Han Dynasty, but to be reasonable, leaving aside his IQ and personality, Wang Yun was a good man and an absolute loyal subject.
All of the above are the mainstays of the imperial court, and their encounters also illustrate the decline of the Han Empire.
The Qianghu Rebellion, like the Yellow Turban Rebellion, was a booster in hastening the demise of the Han Dynasty.
Poor Liangzhou generals, since the defeat of Gaixun, have been unable to resist the rebels, and even more pitiful for the local people, who obviously have nothing to do with the war, but have to bear all the disasters brought about by the war.
It was not until Beigong Boyu and others attacked Sanfu on the grounds of "killing eunuchs" that Emperor Hanling discovered the seriousness of the problem and hurriedly ordered the general Huang Fusong to guard Chang'an and command a large army to go to the conquest. The so-called three auxiliaries are the three official names of Jing Zhaoyin, Zuo Fengyi, and Right Fufeng, which govern Chang'an, which refer to the areas under their jurisdiction.
Earlier, Situ Cui Lie suggested abandoning Liangzhou, and was severely criticized by Fu Xie, the speaker, like "Ji Bu scolding Fan Jiao", and the rebels came to attack, which strengthened Liu Hong's determination to "pay money" for the crusade.
However, before Emperor Fusong could show his fists, he was punished by "collecting and cutting the seal" in the name of "no merit in successive battles and many meritorious people".
If you think about it, you know that this is a good thing done by the eunuchs, Emperor Fusong once refused to pay bribes to Zhang Rang, and then reported zhao Zhong's residence to the Han Ling Emperor that it was not compliant, coupled with the unknown situation of the battle, he did not dare to rush to attack and other reasons, it was not surprising.
Emperor Fusong was withdrawn, and someone had to go up.
Therefore, in August 185, the Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong made Sikong Zhang Wen the general of the Che Riding and The Jin Wu Yuan Huan as his deputy, in order to curry favor with Beigong Boyu, and bai Zhonglang made Dong Zhuo the general of the Broken Guard, and the general Zhou Shen of Lang Kou and unified with Wen.
Since then, the prelude to the rebellion against the Liangzhou rebels has officially begun.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="13" > first round – a head-on defeat</h1>
Zhang Wen led more than 100,000 troops and horses from the counties to launch a fierce confrontation with Bian Zhang and Han Sui in Meiyang.
As mentioned above, the size of the rebel army is not small, and the combat effectiveness is very strong, so in this first confrontation, the Han army was defeated.
It is normal to say that, but I feel that the defeat of the Han army is not unrelated to the commander-in-chief, because Zhang Wen, who has just been named Sikong from the Grand Si Nong, is an authentic civilian official, and from the later development, he has avoided the correct decision several times.
The Great Si Nong, Cao Cao's father Cao Teng, also served as a financial official, while Sikong, although he was the third duke, was in charge of water and soil affairs. In other words, the commander-in-chief, Zhang Wen, did not know more about war than his subordinates.
Presumably, he himself understood this, so he wrote to the imperial court to dispatch Shi Taoqian of Youzhou and Sima Sunjian of other departments to accompany the army to the west. Judging from the results, the help provided by the two was limited, especially Sun Jian, who lost the official seal of Sima Beibu, which could be described as extremely embarrassing.
To put it simply, Tao Qian and Liu Biao are not as incompetent as described in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="170" > round two – stupid leadership</h1>
Although the first battle was lost, Zhang Wen's luck followed, and he actually attracted the help of God to do things.
According to the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, "In November, there were shooting stars like fire at night, and the light was more than ten inches long, and the donkeys and horses were all singing according to the chapter and the camp."
As a modern person, seeing such a vision, you will definitely close your eyes and make a wish, but in the eyes of the ancients, especially the Qianghu, it is an ominous omen.
Therefore, Bian Zhang and Han Sui had the idea of returning to Jincheng.
Dong Zhuo was a mischievous lord, and when he heard that the rebels were thinking of retreating, he hurriedly joined forces with Right Fufeng Bao Hong and others to attack together, "Greatly broken, beheaded thousands of levels, Zhang, and then defeated Yuzhong."
Zhang Wen saw that the rebels were defeated and retreated, and decided to replace Dong Zhuo, but instead let Zhou Shen lead 30,000 troops to pursue and suppress.
At that time, the fierce man Sun Jian was under Zhou Shen's account, he found that there was a shortage of grain in Yuzhong City, so he took the initiative to ask for orders and led 10,000 elite soldiers to cut off the enemy's grain routes, but although Zhou Shen was a general, his talent was worse than Zhang Wen's, he thought that Sun Jian's proposal was very stupid, thirty thousand troops, wouldn't it be over to surround the city?
Unexpectedly, Bian and Zhang used Sun Jian's strategy to divide their troops and garrison the Kuiyuan Gorge, cutting off the Han army's grain route.
Zhou Shen saw the situation, was terrified, and hurriedly ordered: withdraw the encirclement, abandon the weight, and immediately escape...
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="171" > third round - smart Dong Zhuo</h1>
Zhang Wen did not let Dong Zhuo idle for too long, so he arranged a chore for him: the general 30,000 soldiers begged for zero Qiang.
Qianghu was more difficult to deal with than bandits and even the officials and troops, so Dong Zhuo suffered losses and was surrounded north of Wangyuan.
Due to the serious shortage of food in the army, "dragging" will not work.
To explain briefly why there is always a shortage of food, because...
At the moment of crisis, Dong Zhuo's IQ was online:
"It was in the water that he had taken, pretending to be fishing, and had divened from Yan down to the army." Than the thief chases after it, the water is deep and cannot be measured. ”
This means that Dong Zhuo built a weir in the river that needed to be spent, pretended to want to fish, and then lightly packed and retreated, quietly crossing the river to retreat, and ordering the rear army to dig the weir when it retreated. So, when the enemy found out and wanted to pursue, the river was so deep that it was impossible to cross.
This is also the content of the above chat, the Qianghu people are very cute, fishing is a patient job, they saw Dong Zhuo fishing hungry, even did not bother in the past, like the Song Xianggong of that year.
Dong Zhuo did not win, but just as When Zhuge Liang lost the street pavilion, Wang Ping did not win, and in the case of the defeat of other troops, Dong Zhuo, who returned safely, was given the title of "Marquis of Curtain Township".
From then on, the two sides entered into a confrontation until the spring of 187, when Han Sui killed Bian Zhang, Beigong Boyu, and Li Wenhou, swallowed up their troops, and led an army of 100,000 to besiege Longxi County, announcing the beginning of a new stage.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="172" > round four – pit daddy leadership</h1>
In the face of Han Sui's attack, Li Xiangru, the Taishou of Longxi County, rebelled, and Liangzhou Assassin Shi Geng led the soldiers and horses of the six counties to attack Han Sui.
The person Geng despised most was Chen Qiu, who was corrupt and perverted the law and profitable, and the officials and people were very dissatisfied, and because of this, they were angry with Geng.
As a result, as Fu Xie had predicted, the people, including Liangzhou Beichai, turned against each other, not only killing Geng Yi and Chen Qiu, but also besieging Hanyang County, where Fu Xie was located.
The Qianghu people, grateful for Fu Xie's kindness, prostrated themselves outside the city and begged him to return to the countryside.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="173" > fifth round - martyred loyalists</h1>
Due to the shortage of troops in Hanyang and the shortage of grain and grass, many people suggested that Fu Xie abandon resistance, including his thirteen-year-old son Fu Gan. Fu Gan may not be very famous, but he has a saying that has been passed down through the ages, that is, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are brave and righteous, and they are the enemies of all people.
At that time, Fu Gan said: "The country is in a state of chaos, so the lords are not tolerated in the dynasty." Today, the army has rebelled, and the soldiers are not enough to defend themselves, and the qianghu in the township are first ended, and they want to abandon the county and return, and they will be willing to do so. Xu went to the township and led the righteous disciples to see that there was a way and supplemented it, so as to help the world. ”
But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Fu Xie, who wanted to be a loyal servant who insisted on discipline like Boyi, and said to his son: "Ru has wisdom, and he is reluctant to do it." The main book Yang Hui, my Cheng Baby also. "Everyone has seen "The Orphan of Zhao", and the person played by Ge You is Cheng Bao.
The Kingdom of The Dao people sent Jiuquan Taishou Huang Yan as a lobbyist, hoping that Fu Xie would be their leader, but Fu Xie rebuked Huang Yan with his sword and was determined to die and martyr the country.
In the end, Fu Xie led the warriors around him to kill the rebels and died in battle.
Ma Teng, Han Sui and others jointly elected the kingdom as the leader and continued to "plunder the three auxiliaries".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="174" > round six – the real big player</h1>
In November 188, the Kingdom soldiers besieged Chen Cang.
Emperor Ling of Han ordered Emperor Fusong to be reinstated, appointing him as the general of the left, commanding the former general Dong Zhuo, and leading 40,000 troops to suppress the rebellion.
I have to sigh again, decades later, the famous general Zhang Guo, was forcibly ordered by Sima Yi to pursue Zhuge Liang, unfortunately killed by an arrow, the Shu army at that time was not a tired division, this kind of truth that even Dong Zhuo understood, to say that Sima Yi did not know, I did not believe.
The kingdom was defeated and soon deposed by Han Sui and others, who coerced Yan Zhong of former Xindu County to serve as the leader, but unfortunately Yan Zhong died of illness, and then Han Sui, Ma Teng, and Song Jian, a native of Longxi, began to fight for power and profit, and then attacked and killed each other.
The Liangzhou Rebellion has since changed its flavor.
Finally, let's talk about the impact, compared to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, I think the Liangzhou Rebellion has a greater impact.
There are three main reasons:
First, the Liangzhou Rebellion was not suppressed, that is, the Han Dynasty did not achieve the final victory, and even had several opportunities to rewrite history, until Han Sui's death in 215, the rest of the army returned to Cao Cao, and the Liangzhou Rebellion ended completely.
Second, the three leaders of the Liangzhou Rebellion all became a stumbling block for Cao Cao to conquer the Central Plains, especially Ma Teng's son Ma Chao, if it were not for Han Sui's stupidity, Xu Chu's too brave, and Ding Fei's too witty, I am afraid that Cao Cao would not have lived for 211 years.
Third, the Liangzhou Rebellion laid the foundation for Dong Zhuoquan to fall into the opposition.
In addition, there are some, such as the fact that it caused many wars, including the Beizhou Rebellion of Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, and Liu Bei pretended to flee for his life as recorded in the "Canon Strategy", which happened here.
In short, the Liangzhou chaos is not as vigorous as the "Yellow Turban", and from today's perspective, its excitement is indeed better.
