[Talk about the general trend of the world——]
[If they are separated for a long time, they will be united; if they are united for a long time, they will be divided. 】
【The Seven Kingdoms fought over the weekend and merged into Qin; after Qin's destruction, Chu and Han fought against each other and merged into Han; the Han Dynasty started its uprising by killing the White Snake and unified the world. Later, it was revived by Guangwu and passed to Emperor Xian, and then divided For the Three Kingdoms. 】
[The cause of the chaos probably started with Emperors Huan and Ling. 】
[Emperor Huan imprisoned good people and respected eunuchs. 】
[When Emperor Huan died and Emperor Ling came to the throne, General Dou Wu and Taifu Chen Fan assisted each other. From time to time, the eunuch Cao Jie and others took over the power. Dou Wu and Chen Fan plotted to kill them. However, the secret was not kept secret and they were harmed instead. The trickle has become more and more horizontal since then. 】
[From the second year of Jianning to the first year of Guanghe, disasters were rampant in the world, and all kinds of ominous things were not limited to one end. The people of Li were struggling individually, which led to the tragedy of cannibalism. 】
[However, the emperor is immoral and mediocre, and still believes in eunuchs. Later, ten people including Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Feng Xu, Duan Gui, Cao Jie, Hou Lan, Jian Shuo, Cheng Kuang, Xia Yun, and Guo Sheng competed with each other. For committing adultery, he was named "Ten Constant Attendants". 】
[The emperor respected Zhang Rang and called him "father". Therefore, the government is in decline, causing confusion among the people of the world and the rise of thieves. 】
[At that time, there were three brothers in Julu County: Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang. 】
[Zhang Jiao went into the mountains to collect herbs. He met an old man with green eyes and a childlike face, holding a quinoa staff. He called Jiao to a cave and taught him three volumes of heavenly books, saying: "This is called "The Essential Techniques of Taiping." You get it. In this day and age, Heaven is proclaiming the truth and saving the world. If you have a different heart, you will definitely receive evil retribution."]
[Kiao bows and asks for his name. The old man said: "I am the old immortal of Nanhua." After saying this, he turned into a formation and left in the breeze. 】
[Jiao got this book, studied it at dawn and night, and was able to call the wind and rain, so he was called "Taoist Taoist of Taiping". 】
[In the first month of the first year of Zhongping, an epidemic prevailed. Zhang Jiao spread talisman water to treat people's illnesses, calling himself a "great virtuous teacher". 】
[Jiao has more than 500 disciples, traveling in all directions, all of whom can write talismans and recite incantations. After that, there were many disciples. There were thirty-six squares in the horns, more than ten thousand people in the big side, and six or seven thousand in the small side. Each of them set up a can commander and called them generals. They falsely said: "The sky is dead, and the yellow sky is here to stand; the year is here." Jiazi, good luck to the world." Everyone was asked to write the word "Jiazi" in white clay on the door of their home. People from the eight states of Qing, You, Xu, Ji, Jing, Yang, Yan, and Henan all serve the great sage Zhang Jiao's name. 】
[Later, because someone from the religion went to the province to report rebellion, the emperor found out that Zhang Jue had treasonous intentions, so he sent General He Jin to mobilize troops to capture him. When he found out what had happened, Zhang Jue had no choice but to raise his troops at night and call himself "General Tiangong". , Zhang Bao called him "General Di Gong", Zhang Liang called him "General Ren Gong", and people from all over the world responded. Four to five million people came from Zhangjiao in yellow scarves to rebel. The thieves are so powerful that the officers and soldiers are overwhelmed. 】
[General He Jin heard about it and hurriedly asked the emperor to issue an edict immediately, ordering all the troops to prepare for the enemy and perform meritorious service against the thieves. At the same time, he sent the generals Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Jun to lead their elite troops in three separate groups to attack the thieves. 】
[As everyone knows, when this edict reaches Yuzhou, it leads to a hero. 】
[Let us also say that Wang Yun, the governor of Yuzhou, whose courtesy name was Zishi, was from Qi in Taiyuan. 】
[At that time, when Yun was first appointed as governor, he encountered the Yellow Turban bandits. Xun Shuang, Kong Rong and others were appointed to work, to eliminate the banned party at the top, and to challenge the Yellow Turbans at the bottom. However, the thieves were so powerful that they could not be resisted, so he immediately summoned everyone to discuss the matter. 】
[Xun Shuang, a famous official in Yingchuan, said: "There are currently no thieves around Yuzhou, but there are thieves in Henan. Although the emperor's troops are approaching, how should we deal with ourselves?"]
[Wang Yun said: "The moth thieves Qu Shuai Bocai and Peng Tuo are wreaking havoc, causing chaos in the place and causing harm to the people. As a shepherd guard, I should correct the thieves and eliminate them. But there are few soldiers and horses in the city, so how can we decide on a strategy?" 】
[After hearing this, Kong Rong, a famous official in Beihai, immediately stood up and said: "Master Zi, Rong has a plan to control the bandit army outside the city!"]
[Wang Yun heard the words and said happily: "There are plans for literary examination, but there is no harm in talking about it!"]
[Kong Rong said seriously: "There is still food and grass in Yuzhou City, and our troops and horses can be self-sufficient. We should stick to the city and wait for the imperial court to come for reinforcements. If the imperial troops arrive, the siege of the city can be broken!"]
[Wang Yun hesitated and asked Kong Rong: "What if the bandit army surrounds the city with ordinary people?"]
[Kong Rong said to him: "What if the bandit army hides among the people and takes advantage of the chaos to attack the city?"]
[When Wang Yun and Xun Shuang heard this, they both looked at each other with no countermeasures. 】
[However, at this moment, someone suddenly heard a loud shout outside the hall door: "All the people in the world are Han people, how can we stay inside the city and forget about the outside?" Before he finished speaking, a figure held his head high and walked quickly. Come. 】
[But I saw that he was eight feet long, with a fat belly and wolf waist, with divine eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a face like purple jade, wearing a white robe, a horn belt, a gauze hat, black boots, holding a sword in his left hand, and he was already walking into the hall. 】
[This person is from Qi County, Taiyuan. His surname is Wang Ke and his given name is Yanzhong. He is a direct sect of the Wang family in Taiyuan. His father, Wang Lie, was a general and was the younger brother of Wang Yun. 】
[When Ke was a child, he was a good ranger, liked fencing, was good at bow and horse, and was good at riding and shooting. He learned from Wang Yue and joined the army in Saibei. He fought in the army for many years and made great achievements. At the age of 20, he was appointed as a Langguan by virtue of his filial piety and integrity, and served on his uncle Yun's side. 】
[At that time, there were some monks in the county who were traveling without a name, but Wang Qiu, the governor of Taiyuan County, summoned him to supplement the officials. He was angry and violated Yan Guzheng. Wang Qiu was angry and wanted to kill him. 】
[When the governor Deng Sheng heard about this, he hurriedly reported it to Wang Ke and asked him to do it for others. Ke immediately picked up the sword in his hand, went straight to the prefect's mansion, broke into the hall, saw the passerby and killed him. Wang Qiu was horrified and hesitated to speak, but Yun was finally freed. Ke is also well-known for this, and Lu Fo makes fun of him. 】
[In the first year of Zhongping, Wang Yun paid homage to the governor of Yuzhou and specially ordered Ke to be the commander of another department, and he would be at his side, waiting to be called upon. Therefore, his talent appears here. 】
【Now. Wang Ke came in, saluted from all sides, and said loudly: "There are many thieves in Yuzhou. However, the left Zhonglang general Huangfu Gong, the right Zhonglang general Zhu Gong and other imperial troops will arrive in the near future. If we continue to occupy the city and defend ourselves, Isn’t it ridiculous?”]
[Wang Yundao: "Yan Zhong's words are reasonable, but there are less than five thousand soldiers and horses in the city, so how can we face the enemy?"]
[Wang Ke said to him: "If you don't have enough troops, you can also recruit yourself. If you don't have enough courage, what's the use even if you have thousands of troops under your command?" After saying that, he looked at Xun Shuang and Kong Rong and sneered silently. 】
[Wang Yun heard this and finally made up his mind and said to Wang Ke: "Yan Zhong serves his country diligently and is the leader of the world, but there are only five thousand soldiers and horses in the city... If Yan Zhong wants to recruit troops, I can only allocate one thousand soldiers and horses to you." ”]
[Wang Ke smiled and said: "Even a thousand soldiers and horses can join forces with the imperial court to defeat the thieves!" After that, he took the military order from Wang Yun and said goodbye. 】
[Walk to the outside of the governor's house. 】
[Wang Ke called his soldiers and went with him to the school grounds in the city to count and select suitable soldiers and horses. 】
[Five thousand soldiers and horses gathered together. When they heard that Wang Ke was leading the team, they even went out of the city to attack the Yellow Turban bandits. Everyone was delighted and signed up one after another. 】
[Wang Ke was overjoyed when he saw this. On the one hand, he selected the sergeants in the camp and on the other hand, he recruited the rangers from all directions. He also put up a white recruiting flag and wrote the word "loyalty and righteousness". In a few days, the people who applied for the job gathered like rain. 】
[One day, a man from Peiguo in Yuzhou, whose surname was Shi Minghuan and given name Gongliu, came to vote for Wang Ke. Ke saw that he was proficient in bow and horse, and proficient in martial arts. He was overjoyed, so he kept him as an official in front of the tent. 】
