A thousand-year-old family begins with one fighting against ten thousand.

Because there was still a long time before the rebellion, and gathering everyone together would be too conspicuous, Ma Yuanyi dispersed everyone to various places in the capital.

Let them scatter to develop their doctrines, heal the sick and save lives, thus reducing the resistance to managing the city after it is conquered in the future.

After Ma Yuanyi's voice rang out, hundreds of Taoist priests wearing yellow turbans rushed out from the surrounding houses.

Ma Yuanyi shouted loudly: "The Azure Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven shall rise! In the year of Jiazi, great fortune will come to the world!"

The people around responded instantly, erupting into a roar like a tsunami.

"The Azure Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven shall rise; in the year of Jiazi, great fortune shall befall the world!"

Hundreds of people shouted in unison, and the sound carried to a wider area. More and more Yellow Turban Taoists emerged from their homes and gathered here.

But in more distant places, the Imperial Guards were also searching. Tang Zhou, as Zhang Jiao's disciple, held a position in Chang'an second only to Ma Yuanyi.

He had a thorough understanding of the Yellow Turban Rebellion's distribution, and after his betrayal, this information naturally became intelligence for the imperial court.

The Imperial Guards were besieging and killing all the Yellow Turban rebels in their respective areas.

Ma Yuanyi swung his broadsword left and right, reaping the lives of the imperial guards and leaving behind corpses, attempting to break through the encirclement.

However, there were also experts in the court. The Imperial Guards were, after all, the protectors of the Han capital. Even though Ma Yuanyi had been personally trained by Zhang Jiao, he was outnumbered and outmatched. He was beaten back step by step.

After forcibly killing his opponent, Ma Yuanyi took the opportunity to glance around, and his eyes immediately turned red.

The surrounding Yellow Turban Taoists were almost all killed. After all, the incident happened suddenly, and most of them rushed out on the spot, carrying whatever weapons they could grab, such as kitchen knives, wooden sticks, and pitchforks.

Furthermore, facing the well-trained, well-prepared, and rested Imperial Guards of the Han Dynasty, they were naturally no match for them.

Ma Yuanyi looked at the Imperial Guard generals before him, preparing for a desperate fight.

It doesn't matter if he dies, what's important is that the message gets out so that our master can raise an army as soon as possible. The Yellow Turban Rebellion must not fail!

"Surrender! All your strongholds are surrounded by the imperial army, and the four gates of Chang'an are closed. Today, not a single Yellow Turban rebel will escape from Chang'an."

He Jin stepped out from under the protection of the army and tried to persuade Ma Yuanyi to surrender.

But Ma Yuanyi was Zhang Jiao's eldest disciple for so many years. Zhang Jiao had saved the lives of the two brothers, while his younger brother and his fellow villagers all died at the hands of corrupt officials in the court.

How could he not hate that?!

How can it be reduced?!

Ma Yuanyi charged toward He Jin like a cheetah, but He Jin valued his life highly and always had someone protecting him closely.

Not to mention that they were arresting rebels and rioters in such a dangerous place, He Jin protected himself with layers upon layers of protection.

After Ma Yuanyi rushed forward, he was immediately stopped by He Jin's guards and then surrounded, separated from the remaining Yellow Turban soldiers.

When Cao Cao and Wei Xue arrived, this was the scene they saw.

Ma Yuanyi also noticed Cao Cao's approach, but glanced at him as if he didn't recognize him.

He remembered his master saying that Cao Cao and Liu Bei would be the best successors to the great cause of the world. It was just a pity that Liu Bei was a member of the royal family, but there was still Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's identity must not be exposed. Only the three of them know. Ma Yuanyi hardened his heart and said, "Little brother, I've come to find you!"

He shouted, "The Blue Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven shall rise; in the year of Jiazi, great fortune will come to the world."

After saying this, he slit his own throat with a knife and died a heroic death.

The peace talisman was quietly affixed to his chest.

No one else noticed, but Cao Cao and Wei Xue, who were familiar with the situation, naturally noticed the glance Ma Yuanyi gave them.

They were better able to understand why Ma Yuanyi committed suicide rather than continuing to fight and die.

It was all to protect Cao Cao.

"Ma Yuanyi".

Cao Cao roared in a deep voice, and Wei Xue put his hand on Cao Cao's shoulder, signaling him to calm down.

"Mengde, you've come too? And who is this gentleman?"

He Jin also noticed Cao Cao's arrival. In this life, he was not as glorious as in the previous one, and Cao Cao was someone he wanted to win over.

"The Wei family, the lineage of Marquis Anshou, Wei Xue, Wei Bojing."

Wei Xue greeted him, and He Jin's smile became even more genuine.

It turns out he's a promising young talent from the Wei family; this visit was definitely worthwhile.

Moreover, he was actually from the lineage of Marquis Anshou. Who doesn't have a headache or fever in their family? Knowing such a miraculous doctor is almost like having an extra life.

"To think he's a young talent from the lineage of Marquis Anshou! My apologies for my overconfidence."

"It's just a legacy from our ancestors; we're just lucky."

Wei Xue said modestly.

"I still have His Majesty's decree to attend to today. I will invite you both to visit the He residence another day when I have more free time."

He Jin said regretfully.

"Of course, His Majesty's decree is of utmost importance. Wei Xue would like to first congratulate the General of Chariots and Cavalry on his meritorious service and wish him further advancement."

Wei Xue cupped his hands in greeting.

"Then I will accept your kind words, Bo Jing."

He Jin laughed heartily. Although he hadn't managed to capture Ma Yuanyi alive, Ma Yuanyi's execution was still a great achievement.

Once the Yellow Turban Rebellion is quelled, he will be credited with defending the capital and might be able to obtain a real marquisate instead of the title of Marquis of Cheng'en, which is reserved for relatives of the emperor.

"Mengde, let's go."

Wei Xue twisted Cao Cao's body and secretly pushed him back.

Now that Ma Yuanyi is dead, and judging from his demeanor just now, he did not reveal anything about Cao Cao, so the crisis has been resolved.

Back at his residence, Cao Cao was still somewhat dazed.

"Brother Bojing, what do you suggest I do to save this decaying old man?"

He could see the look in the eyes of those Yellow Turban soldiers; there was no ambition or selfishness in them, only pure conviction.

"Mengde, you can only do as much as you have power. If you want to change the Han Dynasty, then seize this opportunity to climb the ranks."

"Do you remember what you told me? You have to climb step by step, one step at a time, until you reach the very top."

"Only in this way can you change everything."

"Whether it's improving people's lives, expanding territory, achieving great feats, or leaving a mark on history, as long as you have power, you can do it all."

Wei Xue and Cao Cao locked eyes, awaiting Cao Cao's decision.

"I see."

Cao Cao was originally a man of firm resolve. This time, he was simply inspired by the pure brilliance of the Yellow Turbans. In addition, he had been studying the books given to him by Zhang Jiao recently. With the help of Wei learning, he naturally broke free from his slumber quickly.

"This is the Cao Mengde I know."

"Bojing, help me!"

Cao Cao looked at Wei Xue and said.

Wei Xue smiled slightly and bowed to Cao Cao.

"Wei Xue greets His Lordship."

Cao Cao was the person he chose.

He was the one he believed could reshape the world, complete the Wei family's plan, and push Chinese civilization forward.

My lord?!

Cao Cao was startled.

"Bojing, what's going on?"

"I am willing to assist my lord, sweep away the chaos of the world, and recreate the future!"

Wei Xuejian said firmly.

"Alright, but Bo Jing, you don't need to address me as 'Lord.' We can still address each other as brothers."

Cao Cao said.

"Ritual must not be abandoned."

Seeing that Cao Cao was about to refuse, Wei Xue had no choice but to back down, saying, "From now on, I will address you as my lord in public, but we will still address each other as brothers in private."
