In 187, 8th month, Yuyang Zhang Chun and his fellow villager Zhang Ju rebelled against Han. Zhang Chun and the others formed an alliance with Wuhuan Lord Qiu Liju and raided Ji County, killing Wuhuan Lieutenant Gongqi Chou, North Pingjun Governor Liu Zheng, Liaodong Governor Yang Zhong, etc. Hundreds of thousands of people were gathered in Feiru. Zhang Ju called himself the Son of Heaven, while Zhang Chun called himself the General of Heaven and Stability King. The two of them sent letters saying that Zhang Ju would replace Han as the emperor and asked the Han Emperor to abdicate. Spirit Emperor ordered the South Xiongnu troops to follow Youzhou Magistrate Liu Yu to attack Zhang Chun. The South Xiongnu Chanyu Qiangqu sent his Left Virtuous Prince to lead the cavalry into Youzhou. The people were afraid that the Chanyu would not be able to do anything, so they rebelled.
In the same year, Liangzhou fell. Liangzhou Provincial Governor Geng Pi and Hanyang Governor Fu Xie died in battle.
In 188, the remaining Yellow Turban troops started to revolt. Guo Tai and the others, who had risen up in Xihe's White Wave Valley, attacked Taiyuan Commandery, Hedong Commandery and other places.
In the third month, Taichang Liu Yan wrote a memorial to the Spirit Emperor, suggesting that he change the position of Prefectural Governor to Prefecture Overseer to strengthen his position. To suppress the peasant uprisings, Spirit Emperor followed Liu Yan's suggestion to change the Provincial Governor to Provincial Governor. He also chose ministers and ministers to take up the role. Hence, the Provincial Governor became the Chief Executive of the prefecture, holding the administrative power of a prefecture. From then on, the Provincial Governors each took up a region. Such a situation eventually led to the end of the Han Dynasty being split up.
Using this chance, Sei Itō sent Provincial Governor Zhang Jin to represent the people of Jiaozhi to Spirit Emperor to make the place a prefecture. Under the persuasion of Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, Spirit Emperor followed the advice and changed Jiaozhi to Jiaozhou. He appointed Provincial Governor Zhang Jin as the Provincial Governor.
With that, Jiaozhou appeared in the history of the Han Dynasty 10 years earlier.
In the 4th month, the Yellow Turban Army rose up once more and took over the prefecture.
In the 8th month, Han Ting set up a command center in Xiyuan and formed a new army. The new army command center had a total of eight captains: Upper Military Officer Jian Shuo, Middle Military Officer Yuan Shao, Lower Military Officer Bao Hong, General Officer Cao Cao, Assistant Left Officer Zhao Rong, Right Officer Feng Fang, Left Officer Xia Mou, and Right Officer Chunyu Qiong. Upper Military Officer He Jin also had to listen to Jian Shuo. Wei Jian Shuo, who was enrolled in the military academy, became the highest commander in the country.
In the 10th month, the Yellow Turban Army of Qingzhou and Xuzhou rose up again and attacked the counties.
In the same month, for the sake of raising the morale of the army, Liu Hong held a military parade in Luo Yangping. He called himself the Supreme General, and he rode a horse and held a sword in his hand as he inspected the army.
In November, Han Ting dispatched a military officer, Bao Hong, to deal with Ge Pi's Yellow Turban, who had the most influence. The two sides fought at Gebei. Bao Hongjun was defeated.
In the same month, Zhang Chun also ordered Wuhuan Ling Wang to lead his cavalry into Qingzhou and Jizhou, breaking through Qinghe, Pingyuan, and other prefectures. Gongsun Zan, the Imperial Cavalry Commandant of the Han Court, led his troops to attack. Gongsun Zan, Zhang Chun, and the others fought at the stone gate and broke through it. Zhang Chun and the others abandoned their wives and children and fled to Willow City. Thus, Zhang Chun's rebellion was quelled.
In the same year, the Ba County Yellow Turban Army rose up, and the Ba County Bandit Chui Man rose up again, attacking the county and seizing the cities. Han Ting dispatched Sima Zhaojin of the West Garden's Upper Army to lead an army to suppress the barbarians.
In February 189, Bao Hong died in prison due to his failure in battle. The Yellow Turban Army rose up one after another, and their influence rose again.
In the same month, Huangfu Song defeated the rebel Liangzhou Kingdom in Chencang.
In March, Liu Yu quelled Zhang Chun's rebellion. Zhang Chun died at the hands of his subordinate, Wang Zheng.
On April 11, Liu Hong died in Nangong Jiade Hall at the age of 33. His posthumous title was Emperor Xiaoling. His eldest son, Liu Bian, inherited the throne and became Emperor Hanshao. On June 17, he was buried in Wenling.
During this period, Jian Shuo wanted to kill He Jin and make Liu Xie the emperor, but because He Jin sensed it, it did not work. Since He Jin was in charge of the court, Jian Shuo was not at ease and plotted with the other eunuchs to kill He Jin. Zhao Shengsu was close to Madam He and handed Jian Shuo's letter to He Jin. Thus, He Jin killed Jian Shuo and took all the soldiers under his command, thus obtaining the command of the Eight Lieutenants of West Garden.
At this time, Emperor Ling's mother, Empress Dong, conspired to participate in the political affairs and hated Empress Dowager He. Empress Dowager He asked He Jin to move Empress Dong out of the capital and return to the country. She also asked He Jin to take Dong's brother, Dong Zhong, into prison. Dong Zhong committed suicide and Empress Dong died of fear. Madam He got rid of her dissidents and took charge of the court, her power flourishing.
In July, General He Jin summoned Dong Zhuo to the capital. When Dong Zhuo heard the summons, he immediately set off.
In August, before Dong Zhuo's army reached Luoyang, He Jin was defeated and the palace was in chaos. The eunuch Zhang Rang kidnapped Emperor Hanshao and escaped. Dong Zhuo saw Luoyang on fire and led his troops forward. On the way, he heard that Emperor Hanshao was in Beimang and led his troops to welcome him. After Dong Zhuo entered the Capital, he seized He Jin and his younger brother Che Ji General He Miao's troops and took them as his own. He also lured the Commander of Jin Wu Ding Yuan's troops to be killed by Lu Bu. Thus, Dong Zhuo forced Han Ting to remove Sikong Liu Hong and make himself Sikong.
During this period, Sei Itō used the Flying Thunder God Technique to reach Luoyang and took all the books that Dong Guan had collected during the 400 years of the Han Dynasty and placed them in the Rubik's Cube World Library.
In September, Dong Zhuo forced Empress Dowager He to depose Emperor Hanshao and make Prince Chen Liu the emperor. On the day of the dethronement, all the officials were terrified but no one dared to say anything. Dong Zhuo then killed Empress Dowager He and took control of the court.
In the same month, Emperor Xian bestowed the position of Assistant Minister of the Yellow Gate to the position of Assistant Minister of the Imperial Household. During Emperor Ling's reign, the Imperial Household was made up of eunuchs. Since Yuan Shao executed all the eunuchs, the Imperial Household was made up of eunuchs.
In October, Xihe County's Yellow Turban General Guo Tai led troops to attack Hedong County. Dong Zhuo sent General Niu Fu to lead troops but was defeated by the Yellow Turban Army.
In November, Dong Zhuo proclaimed himself as Prime Minister and praised him for not being famous. He entered the court with his sword and walked to the palace without the courtesy of an official. Dong Zhuo used his troops to plunder property, women, and harm the common people. Everyone in the capital was in danger. He also recruited famous scholars, roping in talented people for his own use, in order to consolidate his position, but his perverse conduct greatly dissatisfied the scholars.
In the same month, because of the Qiang Tribe's attack on the Sanfu, the Han Court appointed Fufeng Commandant and Hanan Protector-General.
At the end of the same year, Cao Cao didn't accept Dong Zhuo's invitation and was hated by Dong Zhuo. He fled to Chenliu and used his wealth in Chenliu and Wei Zi's financial support to form an army of five thousand people to suppress Dong Zhuo. At the same time, he sent out letters calling for the various Lords to attack Dong Zhuo.
Sei Itō responded. However, because the distance was too far, he did not have the strength to do so. He could only ride light cavalry and lead a hundred soldiers to the Guandong region.
In the first month of 190, various Lords gathered in Chenliu.
"Report! Milord, there's someone outside who calls himself Governor Cangwu. He's here to renew the alliance. " On this day, when Cao Cao was sitting alone in his tent and thinking about what to do next, a soldier quickly ran into the tent. Abruptly, he knelt on one knee, folded his hands and said in a clear voice.
"Oh? Quickly bring me there. " Cao Cao was stunned. He quickly got up from his seat and walked out of the tent as he spoke to the soldier.
The soldier did not dare to hesitate. He quickly agreed and led Cao Cao out of the tent.
Soon, they arrived at the front of the tent.
In an instant, more than a hundred burly and well-built soldiers with shiny weapons in their hands came into Cao Cao's sight. They were all wearing shiny armor, riding on tall horses, and holding shiny weapons in their hands. Under the illumination of the sun, they shone with an awe-inspiring might.
Cao Cao was shocked and could not help but praise in a low voice, "What an elite army."
Cao Cao then looked around, searching for the leader of these soldiers. Not long after, a very familiar figure appeared in his line of sight.
"Eh?"
At the same time, that figure also looked at Cao Cao.
"Eh, it's actually Brother!" Sei Itō pretended to be surprised and said, "I didn't expect Brother to be Cao Cao, Cao Mengde. I'm sorry for not recognizing you."
As he spoke, Sei Itō made a gesture of greeting.
Seeing this, Cao Cao quickly stepped forward and grabbed Sei Itō's arm. He pretended to be flustered and said, "Brother, you're too kind."
"However, I feel that brother looks very familiar. Forgive me for forgetting, but have we met before?" Cao Cao then voiced out the question in his heart.
"Noble Mengde is forgetful. It's only natural that you don't remember me." Sei Itō mocked himself. Then, without waiting for Cao Cao to explain, he continued, "Mengde, have you forgotten the streets of Luoyang?"
"Streets of Luoyang?" Cao Cao was confused.
However, with this reminder, a memory that was almost buried by him quickly surfaced in his mind.
"It's you?!" Cao Cao was shocked.
"Mengde remembers," Sei Itō smiled.
"I didn't expect that after so many years, we would meet again. Fate is truly not shallow," Cao Cao sighed. Cao Cao sighed. Then, he turned around and grabbed Ito Sei's arm. As he pulled him into the tent, he laughed and said, "Let's go. I said that I would treat you to a feast when I see you again. Let's do it today."
"Haha, then I'll accept your invitation," Sei Itō said with a smile.
The soldier at the side was tactful. He quickly led the hundred or so soldiers, who looked even more powerful than their general, into the tent and gave them a separate room to stay in.
After a while, Sei Itō and Cao Cao sat down in the tent.
"Oh right, I still don't know Brother's name," Cao Cao asked for Sei Itō's name while waiting for his subordinates to serve the food and wine.
"My surname is Chen and my name is Yi. My courtesy name is Xicheng. I am from Youzhou. It is all thanks to the Governor of Beiping, Liu Zheng, that I was chosen to be the Governor of Cangwu. Today, I heard about Meng De's righteous act. Although the road is unstable and it is difficult for soldiers to come, my heart can be seen in the morning. Therefore, I personally led a hundred guards to come to help you. I hope Meng De will not mind. "Ito Sei introduced himself with a serious face.
"Lord coming is a loyal and righteous act. How can Cao Cao laugh at you? Could it be that in Lord's eyes, Cao Cao is someone of Cao Cao's faction? "Cao Cao shrugged and pretended to be angry.
"I misspoke. I hope Mengde will not blame me," Sei Itō said.
At this moment, several soldiers carrying trays entered the tent. They placed the wine vessels and cooked beef on the table in front of Cao Cao and Sei Itō.
"It is truly fortunate to be able to meet Xicheng today. I will use this cup of wine to express my gratitude, "Cao Cao said to Sei Itō with a serious expression. Then, he raised his head and drank all the wine in the cup.
