Years: 184 - 184

The rebels, now several tens of thousands in number, move towards the former Han capital of Chang'an in the spring of 185.

In response, the imperial court appoints Huangfu Song, the famed conqueror of the Yellow Turbans, as the General of Chariots and Cavalry on the Left in charge of defense of Chang'an.

However, Huangfu achieves no immediate success, and is dismissed in the seventh lunar month of 185 after a four-month tenure after being slandered by the eunuchs in the imperial court.

The continued rebellion in Liang Province takes its toll on the government treasury, and the imperial court has to call on the taxes and corvées to support the war.

A high official, the Minister Over the Masses Cui Li, proposes to abandon Liang Province altogether.

The Gentleman-Consultant Fu Xie makes an impassioned speech that condemns Cui Lie and emphasizes the importance of the frontier province.

Emperor Ling, impressed by this argument, rejects Cui Lie's proposal.

Fu Xie is later assigned to be the Grand Administrator of Hanyang and is sent to the frontier region.
