Chapter 67 As long as I am here, this great Han will not perish
The noble emperor in the imperial city would never think of it.
While he was still thinking about how to suppress General Huangfu, this Han general had already died fighting for his country.
This is the Han people today.
The eunuchs controlled the government and the emperor was afraid of death.
Is there any hope for such a big man?
On the battlefield, Zhang Jue looked at the bodies of Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, and Lu Zhi and said, "Come here, bury them with honor."
Although Zhang Jue attracted the thunder from the nine heavens and killed Huangfu Song and the other two.
However, he had great respect for these three people, so he controlled the power of thunder and kept their bodies intact.
This is also one of the reasons why these three people were able to leave a few last words after taking Zhang Jue's attack.
As opponents, they must die.
The only thing Zhang Jue could leave them was a dignified ending.
"Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi, and Zhu Jun are already dead. Those who surrender will not be killed!"
Zhang Jue's voice spread throughout the battlefield.
The morale of the Han army, which had just been boosted, collapsed again.
The three generals of the Han Dynasty were all killed. How could they stop the Yellow Turban Army led by Zhang Jue?
At this time, Zhang Jue once again used the Taiping Taoism technique.
"Taiping Daoism, enhance our military power."
Zhang Jue used the Taiping Taoist magic, which directly enhanced the combat power of the Yellow Turban Army.
The Yellow Turban Army had already been advancing forward, and now it was even more invincible.
The defeat finally happened in an instant.
"Run! The general is dead, run!"
"Surrender, I am willing to surrender!"
The Han army began to suffer a great defeat, and had to either flee or surrender.
How much military pay did the court pay?
General Huangfu is dead, there is no need to risk his life for the court.
Even though the Han Dynasty ruled the country for four hundred years, the court did not give these soldiers much money.
It is even said that due to the corruption in the government, a lot of military pay is still owed.
Now that defeat is evident, why should we fight for the court?
Zhang Jue led the Yellow Turban Army to defeat the remnants of the Han army.
In the fifth year of Zhongping, the leader of the Taiping Sect, the Great Sage Master, defeated the 300,000-strong army of the Han Dynasty at Cangting, Sili.
Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi and Zhu Jun died in the battle.
Zhang Jue led the Yellow Turban Army straight into the city, directly attacking Huanglong and heading straight for the imperial capital Luoyang.
Within three days, they surrounded the imperial capital Luoyang.
In Luoyang city.
The news of Huangfu Song's defeat finally reached the palace, and the court was shocked.
That group of peasants and common people actually defeated the Han army and attacked the city of Luoyang.
Liu Hong threw the battle report on the ground and said angrily, "Huangfu Song deserves death! Huangfu Song has ruined the country! I gave him 300,000 elite soldiers of the imperial court, and this is how he repays me? I will kill him and punish him."
The Han Dynasty's court was filled with silence for a moment.
None of the dignitaries in the court spoke a word, only Liu Hong's roaring and angry voice resounded throughout the palace.
The officials in the court were well aware of Huangfu Song's abilities.
Even they didn't understand why Huangfu Song was defeated, and defeated so quickly.
Those are 300,000 elite soldiers of the Han Dynasty.
The Han Dynasty's 300,000-strong army was destroyed in one battle. What else can the court use to stop the powerful Yellow Turban Army?
Even the high-ranking officials in the court had not imagined that in the blink of an eye, the Han Dynasty had reached the point where it seemed on the verge of destruction.
The Yellow Turban Army led by Zhang Jue has surrounded Luoyang City. Once Luoyang City is captured, can the Han Empire continue?
Although the imperial edict to support the king has been issued, the troops from all over the country have just set out.
No one expected that Zhang Jue would act so quickly.
The 300,000-strong imperial army was defeated by Zhang Jue in the blink of an eye.
Most of the officials present were from aristocratic families. Of course, many of them were loyal to the Han Dynasty, but the Han Dynasty was about to fall.
Shouldn't they think about themselves too?
Surrender to Zhang Jue? Surrender to the Yellow Turban Army?
No, a bunch of peasants, what is there worthy of their loyalty?
Even if Zhang Jiao really conquered Luoyang City and destroyed the Han Empire, it would not matter.
Do a bunch of peasants know how to govern the world?
Even if Zhang Jue destroyed the Han Dynasty, he would eventually become their enemy.
The noble families in the court thought that it was time to take advantage of this opportunity to expand their own strength.
If the Han Dynasty perishes, Zhang Jue will perish sooner or later.
Who knows who will control the world in the future?
"Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, and Lu Zhi, these three are all great thieves of the country and criminals of the Han Dynasty."
Liu Hong was still angrily scolding, "Punish them. I must punish them."
I don’t know who started it.
"Your Majesty, Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi, and Zhu Jun have died in battle."
Yes, died in battle.
When Liu Hong heard this, his face turned red from holding his breath.
"Killed in battle? Haha! Then I will punish all nine clans."
After all, he was a loyal minister to the Han Dynasty and could not help but speak up, "Your Majesty. The most important thing now is how to resist the siege of the Yellow Turban mob."
"Yes. Your Majesty, these Yellow Turban mobs have surrounded Luoyang City. What we need to do now is to discuss how to defend Luoyang."
"Your Majesty, although the Yellow Turban Army is powerful, Your Majesty has already called on all armies in the world to come to the defense of the king. People from all over the world have already responded, but they just haven't arrived yet."
"Your Majesty, as long as we hold back this mob for a while, the troops from all over the world will arrive and the Yellow Turban rebels will definitely not be their opponents."
Finally, there were still many loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty, so they all began to offer advice.
The Han ship was about to sink, but at this last moment, everyone still wanted to rescue it.
It would be best if he could be rescued.
If rescue is not possible, we can consider other things later.
Liu Hong looked at the officials in the court and said in an ambiguous tone, "So what do you think we should do now?"
"Your Majesty, the only solution now is to quickly organize all the manpower and material resources in the imperial capital to organize a resistance."
"Your Majesty, as long as we wait for the troops from all over the world to arrive, we will be victorious."
"Okay, then I will adopt your suggestion."
Holding the Emperor's Sword in hand, Liu Hong said firmly, "I will personally go to the city wall to supervise the battle. As long as I am here, the Han Dynasty will not perish."
"Your Majesty, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall."
Liu Hong just turned around and left.
"No need to say more, I am the emperor of the Han Dynasty. As long as I am here, the Han Dynasty will not perish."
Liu Hong turned around and left, his heart filled with infinite sadness.
He could feel his life force slipping away.
All he wants now is to pass on the throne smoothly.
But now even this wish is difficult to fulfill.
Could it be that Liu Hong was going to become the king who destroyed the Han Dynasty?
No, absolutely impossible.
When Liu Hong heard the minister's words, he just wanted to laugh.
Among the dignitaries in the court today, how many want to surrender, and how many want to speculate?
he does not know.
At this time, no one is trustworthy.
He can only rely on himself.
