Chapter 166: Danger in the Eastern Capital

In 184 AD (the year of Jiazi), on March 5 (the day of Jiazi), at midnight (23:00 am to 1:00 am, the beginning of the day), the Yellow Turban Uprising led by the three brothers Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang of Julu people broke out.

They organized hundreds of thousands of believers in Taiping Road into thirty-six parties, each with a canal of command and leadership, and the matter was held at the same time.

Because these Taiping Taoist believers are all wrapped in yellow turbans, they are also called the Yellow Turban Army.

The Yellow Turban Army swept through the eight major prefectures of Luoyang, Qing, Xu, You, Ji, Jing, Yang, Yan and Yu in several days. The already corrupt Eastern Han Dynasty fell into a war.

On March 5th, the drum sound at the third lunar calendar had just been beaten, and the sleeping eastern capital Luoyang suddenly became boiling.

In the darkness, countless courtyard gates were all open, and Taiping Taoist believers wrapped in yellow turbans and holding swords and guns walked out. Among these people, there were tens of thousands of elite Yellow Turban Army soldiers who had sneaked into the capital beforehand, and some were Taiping Taoist believers in Luoyang.

For a moment, Luoyang was crowded with people wrapped in yellow turbans everywhere. Whether these Yellow Turban soldiers encountered patrolling city guards or passing pedestrians, as long as they did not have yellow turbans, they would be ruthlessly culled.

Thrilling screams came from afar in the night wind, and innocent lives fell into a pool of blood.

The Yellow Turban Army gathered in three predetermined places separately. One rushed to the imperial city, one rushed to the city guard camp, and the other rushed to the imperial guard camp. These three places are important military towns in Luoyang City. As long as these three places are controlled, Luoyang City will fall into the support of the Yellow Turban Army.

The Kyoto Luoyang plays an important role in the eyes of Zhang Jiao, the leader of Taipingdao, and is also a place of prosperity in the eyes of the world. Zhang Jiao now has a heart of people, and he can be said to be a believer all over the world. Just raise his arms and shout, and there will be people who will respond. The only thing missing is a great righteousness. If he can seize the Eastern Capital Luoyang, he can report to the world with a legitimate edict.

The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, and the year is in Jiazi, and the world is very lucky!

For this reason, Zhang Jiao, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, who claimed to be the "General of the Heavenly King", not only transferred 100,000 elite Yellow Turban Army troops from Jing, Yang, Ji, and Yanzhou, but also sent out effective generals Ma Yuanyi, trusted disciples Zhang Yan, Yang Feng, and Zhang Baiqi to command the uprising in Kyoto.

Ma Yuanyi was skilled in martial arts and generous in character. He was the commander-in-chief of the Yellow Turban Army in Luoyang. He began preparations for the uprising before the New Year and bribed some eunuchs and imperial guards as internal advisers. The Central General Feng Shuo was one of the internal advisers he contacted.

Although Zhang Yan, Yang Feng and Zhang Baiqi are not Yi Fang Qu Shuai, because they are Zhang Jiao's disciples, the celebrity around Zhang Jiao is well credited by Zhang Jiao, and their power is no less than Yi Fang Qu Shuai.

Zhang Yan's surname was Chu, and he was from Changshan Zhending. Because he had good skills and excellent light skills, he was also called Chu Feiyan. Zhang Jiao had no son behind him. Seeing that Chu Feiyan was not only good at kung fu, but also smart and well-behaved. He liked him very much, so he accepted Chu Feiyan as his adopted son, and Chu Feiyan changed his name to Zhang Yan.

Yang Feng and Zhang Baiqi are both orphans that Zhang Jiao has taken in since childhood. After many years, they have learned a good martial arts. They are proficient in both literary and martial arts and are both generals in the Yellow Turban Army.

The Yellow Turban Army was short of talents, but Zhang Jiao sent four capable generals to take charge of Luoyang and command the uprising in Luoyang, which shows how much he attached to Luoyang.

There is also a clear division of labor between Ma Yuanyi, Zhang Yan, Yang Feng, Zhang Baiqi.

Ma Yuanyi led 80,000 elite Yellow Turban Army soldiers to besiege the Northern Army camp stationed outside the city. There were the most elite Five Northern Army Schools of the Han Dynasty and 50,000 troops. Of course, there were many of the Five Northern Army Schools of the Northern Army that they bought, and some were believers of Taiping Road. Therefore, although Ma Yuanyi was going to fight against the elite Five Northern Army Schools, he was still very confident.

Zhang Yan led 10,000 Yellow Turban Army to attack the imperial city, Yang Feng led 10,000 Yellow Turban Army to attack the camp of the imperial guards, and Zhang Baiqi led 10,000 Yellow Turban Army to attack the city guards. All of this was carefully planned, and the time for the attack was agreed with the inner support.

Everything is going on without realizing it!

The nobles of Luoyang City who were drunk and dreaming of death, and the Han Emperor who was arrogant and thought he was in control of the world, how could he have thought that the Yellow Turban Army had already sacrificed their brilliance butcher knife under their noses!

But Zhang Yan led 10,000 Yellow Turban Army to sneak up to the imperial city carefully. With a wave of his hand, the elite 10,000 Yellow Turban Army stopped moving forward and quietly lay in the dark night. Then he ordered people to light a torch and swayed towards the gate tower of the imperial city.

Not long after, a torch appeared on the tall and majestic city gate tower of the imperial city, and then shook it a few times.

"Cry!" The sound of the huge copper-plated gate of the imperial city opening came from.

Zhang Yan's eyes were wide open and her eyes were wide open, and her heart was beating in her throat. Success or failure was the only way!

It did not make Zhang Yan worry for long, but the gate of the imperial city had already opened wide, and people wrapped in yellow turbans appeared on the gate tower, which was the support of the imperial guards they agreed to.

Seeing that everything went smoothly, it was even smoother than he expected! Zhang Yan couldn't help but feel excited, waved his hand and ordered loudly: "The whole army attacks and enters the city!"

Zhang Yan held a big sword and rushed towards the front gate with one horse. Behind him, he was followed by the ten thousand powerful Yellow Turban Army.

Entering the city and seizing the city will only happen in a moment!

The strong fortress was breached from the inside!

The Yellow Turban Army's operation once again perfectly interpreted this point. The magnificent and impregnable Han imperial city was put into the Yellow Turban Army.

While Zhang Yan ordered people to take over the defense of the imperial city, he led the help of others to kill the two palaces.

The Yellow Turban Army rushed to the sky, shouting the slogan "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the year is in Jiazi, the world is lucky", and the imperial city has been broken, and only thousands of Yulin soldiers guarding the palace were left among the two palaces.

For a moment, the shouts of killing shocked the sky! In the palace, blood and energy flew together, and the Yellow Turban Army and the Yulin Army fought together.

Under the night sky, the majestic Luoyang City was shining into the sky, and there were shouts of killing everywhere.

After Zhang Yan captured the imperial city, Yang Feng and Zhang Baiqi also controlled the city guards and the imperial guard camp with the help of the inside.

The Han Dynasty's city guards and imperial guards were usually kept under this high wall. They were easy to deal with ordinary people and were familiar with doing bad things. But when did they experience real wars and see real blood.

Under the dark night, these troops, known as the elite of the great Han, were panicked and behaved abnormally. In addition, there was an insider in the middle, and it was difficult to distinguish between the enemy and us. The combat power was no more than one ten, so how could they be fully prepared against the Yellow Turban Army?

Some of them died in battle and turned to some of the Yellow Turban Army. More often, they fled to see that the situation was not good.

The loud shouts of killing were awakened even if the person who slept for death was awakened. They also knew that something earth-shaking happened in the capital. Although they did not know that the imperial city had fallen, the two camps of the City Guards and the Imperial Guards had also failed, Luoyang City is a place where dragons and tigers are hidden, and the most important thing is the pillars.

Only in troubled times can heroic nature be revealed!

The Grand Marshal Yang Ci, the Situ Yuan Wei, the Taichang Liu Yan, the Yin Hejin of Henan, Yuan Shao, the two heroes of the Yuan family, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, who was "a capable minister in governing the world, a traitor in troubled times", Huangfu Song, the former prefect of the northern region who lived in the capital, etc.

These people, either amazing people, future heroes, or high-ranking nobles, quickly learned about what happened. They did not choose to retreat, but took the guards in the mansion out of the house.

There may not be many guards in the family, but Luoyang City is the most in short supply of dignitaries. These families have more or less guards. These guards are also a big number, a great force.

If the leaders were good at compiling these people together, they might also form a huge combat power, at least enough to have a pot of the Yellow Turban Army, who had not yet completely controlled the situation in Luoyang City.
