    It is said that Liu Bei and Dian Wei led two hundred cavalry towards the enemy's formation, two hundred against three thousand, but Liu Bei was not stupid. It was impossible for him to lead his men and horses into the enemy's formation. He just fought on the left flank of the enemy's formation.  Kill, trying to rush through the enemy lines and return to the city.  However, Huang Shao ordered that the three thousand soldiers and horses be divided into three groups, followed by generals He Yi and He Man to lead one each, never allowing Liu Bei to break through.  The broadsword in Liu Bei's hand was the one used by Guan Yu before. It only weighed about sixty pounds. Liu Bei felt that holding it in his hand was as light as pinching a bean sprout.  But for the enemy, it was a nightmare. Who had ever seen someone who could wield a sword so lightly with one hand? Three were killed with one strike from the left and five were knocked down with one strike from the right. Liu Bei was simply in a state of no one.  Dian Wei followed closely behind, and his halberds were even more ferocious. With Dian Wei's loud shouts, the halberds took away the lives of the enemy soldiers.  The two hundred cavalrymen behind them were even more determined to die. They were all slashing and killing without mercy, and even if they died, they would insert their weapons into the opponent's body.  A yellow scarf warrior pointed at Liu Bei who was charging in the formation and hurriedly reported to Huang Shao that it was this man who had taken Tang Zhou away. Huang Shao was furious when he heard this and ordered the yellow scarf warriors to surround Liu Bei.  In the Yangdi City Gate, Zhou Cang and Tang Zhou led 800 infantry in a tight formation, waiting for the best time to attack given by Xun Yu.  Liu Bei slashed with the sword in his hand, killing everyone in his way.  After charging for a long time, there were no more enemy soldiers in front of Liu Bei. Looking back, Dian Wei followed behind him and came out to kill the general. It turned out that the two of them had already penetrated the enemy formation.  There were only about eighty of the two hundred cavalry left, all covered in blood, as if they had been killed from hell.  "Zhou Cang! Open the city gate! Your lord has come out!" Xun Yu lay on the city wall and shouted to Zhou Cang at the city gate.  "Hurry up and open the city gate!" Zhou Cang was overjoyed after hearing this and hurried to the door to cooperate with the soldiers to open the gate.  Zhou Cang also has a lot of strength. He can push the city gate open by himself, but the soldiers on the other side need five or six people.  "Brothers! Follow me back to the city!" Liu Bei saw the city gate open, flicked the blood stains on his sword, and called the cavalry behind him to run towards the city.  After this small battle, Liu Bei benefited a lot. Not only did he become proficient in fighting on horseback, but he also won the trust and support of the soldiers behind him, which also doubled the confidence of the strong men on the city wall.  "Xuande, are you okay?" Xun Yu came down from the city wall and asked with concern.  "I'm worried about you, Lao Wenruo. Bei is fine!" Liu Bei said again: "Please ask the doctors in the city to take good care of these cavalry!" At this time, when Liu Bei felt the change in Xun Yu's attitude towards him, the feeling was very subtle.  "I've already made arrangements." Guo Jia came forward and said with a smile.  It looked like a child showing off that he had done something good.  "I didn't expect you to be quite smart!" Liu Bei patted Guo Jia on the shoulder and said with a smile.  In fact, Guo Jia was only fourteen years old at this time.  "The thieves have retreated temporarily." The captain of the city gate shouted on the city wall.  Liu Bei looked out from the city wall and saw Huang Shao leading his troops back.  "Commander Qu! How can we explain to the Heavenly Master that we are retreating like this?" He Yi followed Huang Shao on horseback and asked.  "Otherwise, what else can we do? I think Tang Zhou has already leaked the secret. Master, he can only take action in advance." It turns out that Huang Shao was not following Zhang Jiao's order to attack the city this time, but just wanted to summon the Yellow Turban soldiers to surround Tang Zhou.  , but who wanted to be misunderstood by his subordinates, he not only summoned the Yellow Turban soldiers but also hijacked the rebels.  The momentum was so great that they had no choice but to besiege the city.  "Immediately send someone to inform the Heavenly Master that Tang Zhou has leaked the secret! Please Heavenly Master make a decision as soon as possible!" Huang Shao thought for a while and said to He Yi.  "No!" "He Man, the army is stationed five miles away from the city, gathering believers, cutting down trees to build siege ladders!" Huang Shao turned around and looked at Yangzhai City Road.  His eyes were full of unwillingness.  "Promise!" At this point, the Yellow Turbans began to wreak havoc in Yingchuan, plundering wealthy households, distributing food to the people, and recruiting strong men to join in. The momentum was quite huge.  Zhang Jiao, who was far away in Julu, didn't know anything about it.  In Yingchuan, many county towns were controlled by Yellow Turban believers who cooperated internally and externally to kill county magistrates, corrupt officials, and open warehouses to benefit the people.  Jiaxian, Xiangcheng, Kunyang, Dingling and other counties were lost, and the loss of soldiers, armor and equipment was insignificant.  It also strengthened the power of the Yellow Turbans.  In Yangzhai City, there was also a rebellion by Yellow Turban believers. Seeing the strength of the thieves, the captain of the city gate secretly surrendered to Huang Shao, fearing for his life and property. He wanted to open the city gate at night. Fortunately, Liu Bei rescued him in time and blocked Huang Shao's troops.  Outside the city, the captain of the city gate was beheaded.  But Liu Bei eventually became the highest military commander because of his extraordinary benevolence and righteousness, especially the eighty cavalrymen rescued that day, who he wholeheartedly supported.  Under the advice of Xun Yu and others, the big households in the city who had money and grainAfter collecting food, some men and women were sent out, and eight thousand strong men were organized to defend the city. Including the original soldiers, there were about ten thousand people in total.  Luoyang City.  Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Jian Yong finally waited for the emperor's will.  This was also thanks to the help of Xun You. At this time, Xun You was already working under He Jin's account. Hearing that the Yellow Turbans were raging in his hometown, he took the initiative to speak out in front of He Jin.  He Jin presented the list of rebels to the emperor. The emperor was furious and ordered He Jin to capture Ma Yuanyi. Ma Yuanyi was torn apart by a chariot. The officers and soldiers vigorously arrested and killed Taiping Tao believers, killing more than a thousand people, and ordered Jizhou to hunt down Zhang Jiao.  Because Liu Bei had made great contributions to the list of rebels and was confirmed to be a member of the Han clan, the emperor specially granted him the title of General Zhonglang and the governor of Yingchuan County. He also assigned three thousand cavalry to Liu Bei's command to defend the city and defeat the enemy.  When Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led their troops back to Yingchuan, Zhang Jiao knew that the incident had been revealed.  As a last resort, he climbed up to the giant deer altar and shouted: "The sky is dead, the yellow sky is here to stand! If you are born in Jiazi, the world will be prosperous!" As the slogan, thirty-six parties started an uprising at the same time, calling themselves "Tiangong General" and following his brother Zhang  Bao is the "General of Di Gong" and Zhang Liang is the "General of Ren Gong".  After the uprising began, the masses responded one after another, either by joining the army as believers, or by sending food and clothing. The rebels developed rapidly.  After the rebels captured a town, they often burned down government offices, killed corrupt officials, and distributed their property to the people. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Corrupt official is a master of power, but as soon as they hear of the arrival of the rebels, they are frightened, and like dogs that have lost their homes, most of them have fled away.  Suddenly, the world was shaken and the capital was shaken.  The emperor also ordered He Jin to be the general, and led the five battalions of the Yulin Army on the left and right to garrison in the capital pavilion, prepare weapons, and guard the capital;  Captains were stationed at the gates of the capital such as Mengjin and Xiaopingjin; orders were issued to all localities to take strict precautions, and ordered all states and counties to prepare for battle, train soldiers, organize weapons, and summon rebels.  Huangfu Song remonstrated to lift the ban on the party and presented fine horses from Xiyuan to the sergeants to improve morale. Lu Qiang also said to Emperor Ling: "The party has been imprisoned for a long time. If it conspires with the Yellow Turbans, it will be regrettable and hopeless." Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty  Accept the proposal, grant amnesty to party members, return all exiled criminals, ask ministers to donate horses, crossbows, and weapons, and elect Lu Zhi, deputy general Zong Yuan, to lead the five sergeants of the Northern Army to take charge of the northern front and deal with Zhang Jiao's main force; Huangfu  Song and Zhu Jun each led an army and controlled more than 40,000 people from the Five Schools, Sanhe Knights and newly recruited elite warriors to attack the Yellow Turban Army in Runan.  When the imperial court urgently mobilized troops and horses, Liu Bei had already stayed in Yangdi County for more than ten days, holding on to the city while training his soldiers.  Three days after Huang Shao retreated, he came back again and ordered the Yellow Turban soldiers to attack the city and besiege it on all sides.  The swarming Yellow Turban soldiers were like passing locusts, rushing in carrying ladders.  Liu Bei led the strong men to prepare for the battle. Due to the lack of generals, Liu Bei had no choice but to distribute the more than 80 cavalrymen among the 8,000 strong men to serve as chief officers. He also ordered Dian Wei and Zhou Cang to each guard one side of the city wall, while he himself guarded one side and the other.  On the one hand, it was handed over to Tang Zhou Dynasty and assisted by Xun Yu and others.  The Yellow Turban bandits were powerful, but they lacked unified orders and could not act like an arm or a finger.  "Fire the arrows!" When the Yellow Turban soldiers entered the bow and arrow range, Liu Bei ordered to fire the arrows.  Suddenly, arrows flew into the air like locusts, and then roared down again in the blink of an eye, killing hundreds of Yellow Turban soldiers.  "Okay! Not bad! Just shoot like this!" After seeing the yellow turban soldiers lying on the ground, Liu Bei encouraged these strong men loudly.  There are five hundred strong archers on each of the four walls.  There was a shortage of military crossbows in the city, with only three hundred, so Liu Bei allocated all of them to Tang Zhou, who was most worried.  "Get ready! Shoot!" Liu Bei gave the order, and another shower of arrows fell.  There are densely packed yellow turban soldiers outside, and there are always those unlucky ones who get hit by arrows.  "Get ready! Shoot!" "Shoot!" "Shoot!" After five rounds of shooting, the Yellow Turban soldiers put the ladder on the top of the city and began to climb up like ants.  "Archers! Retreat and launch!" "Archers with halberds come forward! Push!" Liu Bei was already prepared.  After giving the order, the strong men holding the halberds hurriedly put the halberds on the ladder. A group of five or six people worked together to lift the ladder away from the city, allowing the yellow scarf soldiers crawling in the air to fall to their death.  Some of the ladders that were pushed away from the top of the city were scattered, and some could still be used, but they were set up on the top of the city by the yellow scarf soldiers who were desperate for their lives.  "Continue with the halberd!" "Don't stop with the bow and arrow!" Liu Bei walked around the entire city wall, constantly issuing various orders, and helping out wherever there was a crisis.  This group of yellow turban mobs didn't know how to cooperate, so they just allowed the soldier to charge upwards, "rabble!" Liu Bei was very glad that the enemy did not use bows and arrows to suppress the city, otherwise it would be like this?The strong men will disperse.  Huang Shao watched from below as the Yellow Turban soldiers climbed up, but none of them could reach the top of the city. He was immediately dissatisfied: "Continue to attack the city! Don't stop without my order!" After that, he tossed his robe and returned to the military tent.  Among them, there were two rich daughters who had been robbed.  After receiving the order, He Yi and He Man could only continue to attack the city.  Huang Shao was very dissatisfied because the people sent to transport the seized bows and arrows did not arrive on time. "These damn losers!" Huang Shao threw his helmet to the ground and said angrily.  "If we had archers now, how could we be so passive!" The more Huang Shao thought about it, the angrier he became. He could only vent his anger on these two wealthy daughters and let them moan and cry in pain.  "Brothers! Well done! Keep fighting like this! The yellow turbans and white turbans are just thieves!" Liu Bei still walked on the city wall to boost the morale of these strong men.
