I summoned all the famous generals of history in another world.

Chapter 33 Suddenly a madman sharpens his knife at night, the imperial star sways and Mars shines hi

Luzhou is the largest prefecture among the nine prefectures of the Great Qian Dynasty, the one closest to the Southern Great Xuan Dynasty.

On a late autumn dawn, on a vast plain, a mysterious army quietly appeared among the Yellow Turbans.

They wore yellow turbans on their heads, carried simple weapons, and their faces were filled with determination and resolve.

Tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers gathered together, their eyes focused on the center of the sacrificial ceremony, where there was a tall altar with various offerings on it.

At the very center of the altar stands a huge wooden statue of a deity, its face majestic and mysterious, as if it were looking down upon this land.

The statue's hands are clasped together, as if it is praying for something.

The sacrificial ceremony to Heaven began. The leaders of the Yellow Turban Army walked up to the altar one by one and offered various sacrifices to the statue of the god, including grain, wine, livestock and so on.

Their voices were solemn and devout, as if they were telling the gods their wishes and determination.

As the ceremony progressed, the atmosphere around the altar grew increasingly solemn.

The Yellow Turban soldiers knelt down one after another, their eyes fixed on the altar, as if praying to the gods for victory and protection.

After the sacrificial ceremony to Heaven ended, the Yellow Turban soldiers stood up one after another, their faces showing firmness and determination.

They knew that the battles to come would be even more difficult and brutal, but they were prepared to fight to the end for their beliefs and ideals.

Their leader, Zhang Jiao, along with his disciples Huang Chao and Shan Shituo, as well as Meng Zhang and Meng Huwang, who were mixed in with various counterfeit wine shops, stood on a high hill, looking down at the crowd below, their hearts filled with heroic ambition.

"The Azure Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven shall rise! In the year of Jiazi, great fortune will come to the world!" Zhang Jiao shouted, his voice echoing in the morning air.

His voice was filled with anticipation for the future and determination to resist.

At Zhang Jiao's shout, a deafening cheer erupted from the crowd. They waved their weapons, their faces beaming with the passion of battle.

"The Blue Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven shall rise!" Cheers erupted from the crowd once again.

Their voices echoed in the morning air, resonating throughout the Yellow Turban region.

The Great Qian Dynasty, which had been peaceful for over five hundred years, was finally shaken up by a thunderclap.

Overnight, it was as if they had made a pact with each other.

In the five prefectures of the Great Qian Central Region, countless common people, wearing yellow turbans and wielding crude weapons or even simple farming tools, frantically stormed government offices everywhere.

They burned down government offices, killed officials and soldiers, and looted everywhere.

Of the nine provinces of the Great Qian Dynasty, apart from the two provinces in the northern frontier and the two provinces of Cang and Yun in the eastern lands, wars have occurred in all the provinces in the central region.

The Yellow Turban leader Zhang Jiao called himself the Heavenly General, while his brothers Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang called themselves the Earthly General and the Human General.

Using his prestige among the people, Zhang Jiao divided the Yellow Turban followers across the land into thirty-six factions, with the larger factions having over ten thousand people and the smaller factions having six or seven thousand people.

Each side was given a leader who commanded all forces, which sparked the Yellow Turban Rebellion throughout the entire Great Qian Dynasty.

These wars were mostly caused by the Yellow Turban Rebellion, but some local bandits or short-sighted opportunists also took advantage of the chaos.

Within a month, war broke out in dozens of counties across five states in the central region of the Great Qian Dynasty.

The Yellow Turban Army, led by the Taiping Sect, swept through the country with unstoppable momentum, causing prefectures and counties to fall, officials and soldiers to flee, and shaking the capital.

bump!

In the imperial court of the Great Qian Dynasty, the current emperor, Si Xiaofei, slammed a pile of urgent memorials from all over the country in front of his civil and military officials.

"What's wrong?"

"Overnight, is the once prosperous and peaceful Great Qian Dynasty about to fall?"

Si Xiaofei was furious. He had received a lot of intelligence about the Taiping Cult before and knew that the Taiping Cult was established by those scoundrels within the Great Qian territory.

But the intelligence he received only described a trick played by a group of ignorant and foolish people.

What's wrong?

In just over ten days, a group of ignorant and foolish people overturned all five states in the central region of the Great Qian Dynasty.

Clearly, most of the information about the Taiping Rebellion was concealed from the court by its own "key figures."

He had previously thought they were just a group of peasants who had taken up arms.

This is a good opportunity to lure out the group of rats behind them.

It now seems that these rats were actually planning to drag him, the fisherman, into the water!

"Your Majesty, the most urgent task now is to send troops to suppress the rebellion as soon as possible."

"Our central regions have enjoyed peace for a long time, and it is inevitable that we have not been able to cope with some shortcomings. I hope Your Majesty will calm down."

While everyone in the court was trembling with fear at Si Xiaofei's presence, the Grand Chancellor Kang Zhengjie stepped forward and bowed to Si Xiaofei, who was still furious at the head of the court.

"Hmph! Pass on my orders..."

"I hereby appoint Grand Tutor Gu as the Grand Marshal for the Expedition of the Great Qian Dynasty, and order him to lead the five battalions of the Left and Right Xuanqian Imperial Guards to garrison the Qiandu Camp, organize their weapons, and guard the capital."

With a heavy snort directed at the civil and military officials below, Si Xiaofei finally regained the composure befitting an emperor and began to issue his orders in a deep voice.

The Grand Tutor Gu he mentioned was none other than Gu Changqing, the invincible war god of the Great Qian Dynasty.

However, Gu Changqing's Grand Tutor is not the Grand Tutor Dong Zhuo, but the Grand Tutor Wen Zhong of the Yin Shang Dynasty.

A veteran of three reigns, a trusted minister entrusted with the care of the young emperor!

After saying that, Si Xiaofei was still worried, since Gu Changqing might still need to lead troops to fight against the Taiping Rebellion later.

Therefore, in order to defend the capital of the Great Qian Dynasty, Si Xiaofei dispatched elite troops and generals to guard the important passes in the four directions of the capital.

Meanwhile, an imperial edict was issued to all five prefectures in the central region of the Great Qian Dynasty to be on high alert, ordering each prefecture and county to prepare for battle, train soldiers, organize weapons, and gather righteous armies.

Faced with such a perilous situation, Si Xiaofei finally stopped fishing and, for once, truly took it to heart, beginning to seek advice from the civil and military officials in the court.

The Great Qian Dynasty has stood on the Tianwu Continent for over five hundred years, and its prestige has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Naturally, it has no shortage of loyal ministers and capable generals.

On the other hand, Si Xiaofei wanted to quickly quell the Yellow Turban rebellion in various places and prevent the situation in the world from deteriorating further.

He began to organize capable generals in the imperial court and dispatched elite troops to various states of the Great Qian Dynasty to suppress local rebellions.

Si Xiaofei racked his brains but couldn't figure out what the point of Zhang Jiao, an old man over fifty, would be in rebellion.

As long as Zhang Jiao doesn't rebel, with so many followers, he'll have both money and status, and even in later history...

With his current achievements, he can also secure a place in the Taoist community.

Today, Zhang Jiao has followers throughout the entire Daqian territory, and even among the high-ranking officials in Qiandu, there are his followers.

As long as he disregards the lives and deaths of ordinary people, he can have whatever he wants in his life.

And what happens after the rebellion?

His entire family had committed treasonous acts that would lead to the extermination of nine generations of their clan, and they would be condemned as bandits in future historical records.

Is it for the throne?

He's an old man with one foot in the ground; he won't be able to sit for many more years.

Moreover, there is no record of Zhang Jiao having any offspring.

So why did he rebel?

What so-called ambition is it for?

Is it still for the ridiculous reason of ordinary people?
