Chapter 322: Decisive Battle at the Qi Confucianism and Taoism Society
March of the first year of Zhongping.
The long-planned Yellow Turban Uprising officially broke out. In the following seven months of fighting, civilians unleashed extremely powerful forces, becoming stronger and stronger as they fought on the frontal battlefield.
Although the Han army had a small victory, it was difficult to reverse the general trend. Most of the land east of Hulao Pass fell, and the declining Han Dynasty was slowly heading towards destruction.
October.
As the war reached a stalemate, the Han and Huang sides stopped large-scale offensives and reduced their forces on the east and west fronts of Hulao Pass, preparing for a decisive battle.
March of the second year of Zhongping.
One hundred thousand elite Han troops from northern Xinjiang moved south, 450,000 troops gathered in Luoyang, and the Han Dynasty's war preparations were completed.
April 2nd.
Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty appointed Anbei General Qin Wen as the Commander-in-Chief of Hulao Pass. Together with Ding Yuan, Liu Yu, Dong Zhuo and other generals, he commanded 150,000 Han troops and took charge of the defense of Hulao Pass.
April 15th.
The Yellow Turban Army was ready for war. After seven months of offensive, six months of training, and concentrating all financial and material resources on arming, the million-strong Yellow Turban Army was completely transformed.
Although today's Yellow Turban Army is not all elite, it is no longer as unbearable as it was in the original history, and is no less inferior to the ordinary Han army.
The second year of Zhongping, May 1st.
Zhang Jiao took Xiang Yu's 30,000 troops as the vanguard and personally led 250,000 elite vanguard troops. Together with Huang Chaofang La, Li Mi, Zhang Xianzhong and other commanders, he took the lead in attacking Hulao Pass.
Other Yellow Turban canal commanders stationed in various counties in Yanzhou, after receiving Zhang Jiao's military order as soon as possible, also moved to Chenliu.
With more than a million troops gathered and tens of millions of heroes affected, this unprecedented war could no longer be avoided and finally officially began.
…
Yingchuan, Yingchuan College, Xun Shuang, the contemporary Confucian scholar in charge, is sitting on the main seat. Below and to the left are all the contemporary Confucians, and to the right are the Taoist leaders.
"Let go, if you continue, the situation will become irreversible." Xun Shuang sighed, and after saying these words, he seemed to be deflated.
There has been no discussion in the hall for a long time. The plans of Confucianism and Taoism for more than 400 years finally came to nothing in this world. How can it not make everyone feel sad?
Wherever there are people, there is struggle, and schools are also different from princes fighting for the world. What schools fight for is inheritance.
A dynasty may only last a few hundred years in its glory, but a school of thought can be passed on for thousands of generations. This is the unremitting pursuit of all literati.
Confucianism was successful during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Hundreds of schools were deposed and Confucianism was the sole focus. Confucianism became the dominant one.
Taoists survived by bewitching Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to live forever, just like how they bewitched Qin Shihuang to seek immortality.
After that, Confucianism and Taoism joined forces to suppress hundreds of schools of thought. In the process, they absorbed the essence of other schools and strengthened their own learning.
Hundred schools of thought will naturally not let their own inheritance be lost. Fifty years ago, things were even more cruel than during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the struggle among hundreds of schools of thought that lasted for more than 400 years began.
The Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms was the first counterattack of hundreds of schools blocked by Confucianism and Taoism;
Wang Mang’s Rebellion was the second counterattack of hundreds of schools blocked by Confucianism and Taoism;
But this third Yellow Turban Rebellion, Confucianism and Taoism could no longer stop it.
This time the various schools of thought are too fierce, and there are too many capable men and heroes in this life, even faintly surpassing those of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period! How can we not let everyone here feel sad and sad that four hundred years of great achievements have come to an end in one go?
Seeing no one answered for a long time, Zuo Ci, who was first on the right seat, broke the silence.
"But even if we let go, will those guys agree? With their support, the Yellow Turbans are making great progress." Zuo Ci sighed.
Xun Shuang stood up and walked slowly to the door, looking towards the northwest direction of Hulao Pass. After a long time, he turned around and said calmly: "Yes, there are too many hidden dangers in the Yellow Turban. Even if it temporarily conquers the world, it is impossible to sit firmly. The leaders of hundreds of contemporary schools must also know."
“But can the hatred of more than four hundred years really be eliminated?” Zuo Ci asked again.
Xun Shuang's face darkened and he was silent for a long time. If it were him, he wouldn't have agreed.
As the last one on the left, Xun Yu, a young member of the Xun family who is known as the 'Wang Zuo's Talent', stood up and said resolutely: "It must be possible. Even if others don't agree, Master Wang will definitely have a way to convince them. Once the big man falls, Now, this life is no longer a time of chaos, but the end of the world.”
Looking at Xun Yu's handsome face, Xun Shuang couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It's so good to be young. The world will eventually belong to you young people!

“report…”
“Informing the Grand Governor, the main force of the Yellow Turban army has arrived at the pass.”
As the commander-in-chief of the 150,000-strong army and the commander-in-chief of the Han army, Qin Wen did not panic at all after receiving the news. Instead, he said calmly: "It's finally here. It's slower than expected. How many soldiers and horses does the enemy have in total?"
“It’s endless as far as the eye can see, and it’s impossible to liquidate it. It’s estimated to be between 200,000 and 300,000 people.”
The generals suddenly changed their expressions upon hearing this. The Yellow Turbans' first wave of attacks had so many troops, which shows that this defensive battle is not easy to fight.
Seeing this, Qin Wen had a cold face and snorted coldly: "Huh, so what if there are more people? It's just a mob, why should we be afraid of millions of governors?"
The general's indifference made the generals feel reassured. They also remembered that there were many generals in the Han army who had defeated the Yellow Turban Army several times their size with a small number of troops, such as Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi, and Qin Wen.
Yes, the Governor once defeated the 130,000 elite Yellow Turban Army in Dai County with an army of 30,000. Now he has an army of 150,000, and there is also Hulao Pass, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. He also said that the enemy only has If three hundred thousand people come, why should we be afraid even if all one million people come?
Seeing that the impetuous people had calmed down, Qin Wen nodded with satisfaction after looking around for a week, and said with a slight smile: "Raising an army for a thousand days, using it for a while, the time has come for you to make achievements. Come to the city with me and take a look!"
“No!”
Qin Hao was the first to shout, followed by a cloud of followers.
On the way to the city tower, Qin Hao happened to run into Dong Zhuo.
Looking at Dong Zhuo, who looked as usual but became more gloomy, Qin Hao could not imagine how heartbroken he looked a few days ago.
Dong Zhuo's death was a huge blow to Dong Zhuo. Even Dong Zhuo himself didn't expect that he was so bad to his son, but this stupid son stood up to block him at the critical moment.
Thinking about what he had done to Dong Li and what Dong Li had done to him, Dong Zhuo was ashamed and extremely sad at the same time.
God, why do I, Dong Zhuo, really treat my own son like this?
Dong Zhuo felt extremely bitter in his heart. If there was a regret medicine, he would definitely buy ten kilograms of it, but it was too late. He knew what the pain of losing a child was, and he also understood the feelings of Li Yuan, Yang Jian and others.
After the grief, Dong Zhuo was filled with hatred. Except for Xiang Yu, all the ambush troops had been killed by the Yanmen Army. He didn't even have a target for revenge, so he targeted the entire Yellow Turban Army.
俷'er, dad will bury you with the heads of millions of yellow turban thieves, that's for sure. Dong Zhuo made up his mind.
The monthly exams were taken two days ago, so I didn’t have time to code. If there is two days of leakage, Liuxiang will try to make up for it today and tomorrow. This chapter involves Bai Jia. To be honest, Ruxiang regrets writing about Bai Jia. It is not something that Ruxiang’s level can master. However, it is now too late to say anything. Just try your best to write it well. I hope everyone can like. Second update tonight!
