Chapter 64: I have a great scholar to argue for me
Huangfu Song gave a bitter smile, but an unprecedented fear arose in his heart.

Does the four-hundred-year-old Han Empire still have a future?

Huangfu Song didn't know.

The Han Empire might not have perished at the hands of Zhang Jue or the Yellow Turban Army.

But they will perish at the hands of the Han emperor and his high-ranking officials.

Looking at the setting sun in the sky, Huangfu Song seemed to see the empire on the decline.

He saw the turbulent situation in the world and the mighty wave of the people.

But can Huangfu Song stop this huge wave of uprising?

Huangfu Song didn't know.

He was just a military general, no matter how much the emperor praised him as a pillar of the country.

No matter how much the emperor shows he values ​​him now.

But in the end it was no match for a single word from the Ten Attendants.

He wanted to save the empire and the court, but he was powerless.

Outside, he is the famous General Huangfu, but in the court, he is just an frustrated military general.

If the Yellow Turban Rebellion had not threatened the imperial capital, it would have been a question whether he could be employed.

All the great military achievements are not as good as one word from the Ten Eunuchs.

This is the sorrow of Huangfu Song, and even more so the sorrow of this court and this empire.

Huangfu Song didn't know if he could stop the massive uprising in the world, but the only thing he knew was.

He received the emperor's favor in this life, was a Han minister during his lifetime, and became a Han ghost after his death.

As long as Huangfu Song is still alive, he will stop all riots and protect the Han Empire, even if it goes against the times.

As long as Huangfu Song is alive, the Han dynasty will remain stable.

As long as Huangfu Song is still alive, he will shed his last drop of blood for the Han Dynasty.

Huangfu Song, a general of the Han Dynasty, was like a guardian of the old era. He knew he would die, but he still stood in the way of the new era.

This is not stupidity, this is the loyalty engraved in his bones.

Huangfu Song calmed himself down, deployed his troops, and launched a decisive battle with Zhang Jue.

The Yellow Turban Army is now powerful, but Huangfu Song knows it better than anyone else.

There was only one core figure in the Yellow Turban Army, and that was Zhang Jue.

As long as Zhang Jue is killed, the Yellow Turban Rebellion will not cause much trouble.

Huangfu Song led the imperial army to confront Zhang Jue.

Huangfu Song looked at the Taoist whose face looked as weathered as a farmer working in the fields.

Who could have believed that it was this Taoist priest who looked like an old farmer in the fields who had started this riot that swept across the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty.

Zhang Jue smiled when he saw Huangfu Song and said, "I am Zhang Jue, and I am honored to meet General Huangfu."

Zhang Jue had great respect for this pillar of the Han Dynasty.

His stance is wrong, but even from the enemy's perspective, this old general can be called a famous general of the time.

In the original story line, it was this General Huangfu Song who massacred thirty-six tribes and wiped out the Yellow Turban Army.

His power was so great that it shocked the whole dynasty, his reputation spread abroad, he was the pillar of the country, and was respected by all the people. It can be said that it was the existence of this General Huangfu Song that prolonged the life of the Han Dynasty for decades.

But even such an old general with great military achievements would be suppressed if he offended the Ten Eunuchs.

My Lord, this country is sick, hopelessly ill.

Studying medicine could not save the Han people. Only revolution could save them.

Destroy the entire Han Empire and rebuild it from the ruins.

Huangfu Song looked at Zhang Jiao and said, "Are you the demon Taoist Zhang Jiao?"

Zhang Jue smiled and said, "I am not a demon Taoist. I am just an ordinary Taoist."

Ordinary?
Ah!
You, an ordinary Taoist, have now swept across the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty and shaken the entire Han Dynasty.

Huangfu Song stared at Zhang Jue, and after a pause, he said, "Zhang Jue, stop it. You have deceived the people of this world, started the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and committed endless murders. Do you know how people in this world will view you? How will the history books of later generations condemn you?"

"Hahaha! Bewitching. General Huangfu, have all the people in the world been bewitched by me?"

Zhang Jue laughed loudly and said with unprecedented anger, "The people of this world are not deceived by me, but by you and the court. It is you who forced them to live, so they follow me."

Zhang Jue took a step forward and sneered, "You only see that the people of the world are responding to the Yellow Turban Army. You don't see that you forced them to do so. This world belongs to all people, not to one family or one surname."

"The world is the master and the king is the guest. It is not that I have bewitched them, but that their king has already abandoned them."

"What do people in the world think? What do later history books say?"

Zhang Jue chuckled and continued, "When I enter the imperial capital, there will be great scholars who will debate for me."

When Huangfu Song heard what Zhang Jue said, he was so angry that he couldn't breathe.

But he also knew that some of what Zhang Jue said made sense.

Where did this mob come from? It’s because they can’t survive anymore.

Huangfu Song thought so in his heart, but he shouted sternly, "Zhang Jue, shut up for me. Don't deceive people here. Traitors and traitors should be killed by everyone. If you wake up immediately, I can still say a few good words for you. If you insist on being wrong, you will be beheaded and your entire clan will be implicated. Don't forget to warn me."

"A few nice words?"

Zhang Jue shook his head and said, "General Huangfu, it's not that I look down on you, but what right do you have to speak well of me? Do you have a say in the Han court now?"

In one word, it was a direct critical blow to Huangfu Song.

Zhang Jue, on the other hand, gave a sincere and earnest advice, "General Huangfu, your current situation is truly a dead end. If you lose this battle, you will be blamed. If you win, you will be a threat to the lord."

Zhang Jue told Huangfu Song about his current dilemma.

Huangfu Song suppressed the Yellow Turban Rebellion, which was a great achievement that frightened the emperor.

If he failed to suppress the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he would have to bear all the responsibility.

Zhang Jue continued, "General Huangfu, the emperor of the Han Dynasty is not tolerant, and those eunuchs will not allow people like the old general to exist. General Huangfu, why don't you surrender to us and join us in upholding justice, rebuilding China, and creating a world for all people."

Zhang Jue's words made Huangfu Song dazed for a moment. How could he not know his current situation?

But he was a Han minister, a subject of the Han Dynasty.

"Shut up. I have received the emperor's grace and I should die for the Han Dynasty."

Huangfu Song said coldly, "You are a traitor who is trying to deceive the people. Zhang Jue, your failure is inevitable."

Zhang Jue spoke again, "General Huangfu, can you stop me? Can you stop this great trend? Look, look at the anger of the common people, look at the rage of the people of the world."
