- Giant Deer

This is Zhang Jiao's hometown and the starting place of Taiping Road.

Jizhou is one of the most populous states in the world at this time, with a population of more than 6 million, more than double that of Youzhou.

The reason for this is that most of the area of Jizhou is plain and depends on the Yellow River, so agriculture is developed and the population is flourishing.

However, such population density also leads to the fact that in the event of a major disaster, Jizhou is often the most serious place.

And this year, it seems to be another year of great drought, from the beginning of spring to the present, there have only been a few light rains in Jizhou.

Zhang Jiao came to the edge of a field and tested the cracks in the field with his hands because it had dried up.

A palm's width, a great drought....

Zhang Jiao looked up at the listless seedlings, and hardly expected how much grain it could produce in the fall.

"Big brother, not only us, but the entire Jizhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou and even Jingzhou are in a severe drought, and God doesn't want everyone to live."

It was Zhang Liang who spoke, Zhang Jiao's third brother.

Zhang Liang is different from Zhang Jiao, who looks like a fairy, he looks like an angry King Kong, and his muscles hold up his clothes, he is more than half a head taller than Zhang Jiao, and he is about one meter nine smaller.

"How's it going over there in Luoyang? Is there an order to prepare for disaster relief? ”

"How could the Dog Emperor think of this, I guess he can't even figure out the clouds and sunny days outside Luoyang City, let alone the world." Zhang Liang's words were full of disdain for Liu Hong.

"Big brother, third brother, the children are all here." A middle-aged man wearing a rune robe came over and shouted, This is Zhang Bao, the second brother of Zhang Jiao.

"Okay, let's go to the meeting."

Not far from them is a Taoist temple, which is the core of Taiping Dao.

The three of them came to a lobby together, and the incense table was placed at the top of the hall, and the incense table was sacrificed to Taiyi in the middle, and the Yellow Emperor and Lao Tzu were on the side.

There was no Jade Emperor in the Han Dynasty, only Haotian and Taiyi, Haotian and Taiyi were actually originally two gods, but since Wang Mang, there has been a tendency to gradually become one.

Under the incense case, there are three seats, which are naturally Zhang Jiao's three brothers, and below, there are dozens of people, all of whom are Qu Shuai or representatives of the 36 parties.

"I've seen a great sage and a good teacher!" Zhang Liang stood on the edge of Zhang Jiao and shouted, dozens of people saluted Zhang Jiao together, Zhang Jiao smiled and waved his hand to let everyone sit down, and then said, "Poor Dao has been unable to sleep at night recently, and his heart is surging, so he got up and watched the sky at night, and found that the sky has the image of fighting and turning the stars, and the earth has the breath of dragons and snakes rising from the land, which is the trace of the earth's upside down." ”

As he spoke, Zhang Jiao's expression slowly changed from peaceful at the beginning to seriousness.

"With such a change, Poor Dao has to spend a lot of effort to calculate, you should know, the emperor, the son of heaven. The queen, the son of the earth, so if the emperor loses his virtue, the sky changes, and if the queen loses his virtue, the earth changes. Now the king has lost his way, so the flood and drought are impermanent, and the thieves are numerous.

If the poor path is correct, the five calamities are about to run rampant, the people will suffer, and the people will suffer, so that those of us who cultivate the Tao should have the heart to save the people and help the world, do you think so? ”

Although the words are around, everyone can understand it, to put it bluntly, it is the fault of the emperor that the world is like this, and if you want to live a good life, you have to pull the emperor off the horse, let's talk about what to do.

One person stood up and clasped his fists to everyone and said, "We are peaceful, in order to ask for peace for the people, now the court is pressing, the big clan is encroaching, if we can't wait, who else can the people rely on?" ”

As he spoke, the man said to Zhang Jiao, "Master, please take us to rebuild the world!" ”

"Bo Cai is right! Teacher, take us back! ”

"It's the other way around! It's the other way around!! ”

Zhang Jiao nodded, waved his hand to silence everyone, and then said, "Next year is the year of Jiazi, Jia is the head of the heavenly stem, the son is the head of the earthly branch, and it is the beginning of the changes in the world. If the imperial court still has no intention of changing its ways, we will set the day of the Ding Mao month Gengxu. ”

"No!"

The day of the month of Ding Mao is the fifth day of March.

Zhang Jiao looked around and said, "From today onwards, you should recruit heroes, accumulate money and food, prepare more ordnance, and inquire about the movements of the government, Yiyuan, Bocai, and Mancheng will stay, and the others will retreat first." ”

After the others retreated, Zhang Jiao snorted and said, "Not yet!" ”

A short figure fell from the beam with a thud, and Zhang Liang and the others couldn't help but shake their heads with a wry smile when they saw this person.

I saw that this person was dressed as a Taoist child, with two small buns, light eyebrows and a straight nose, a pair of willow eyes blinked at Zhang Jiao, and then threw himself into Zhang Jiao's arms and smiled, "How did Daddy find me?" I hid for a few hours, and those brothers didn't see me. ”

This boy is Zhang Jiao's only daughter Zhang Ning, and the only son of Zhang Jiao's three brothers, who is not yet ten years old this year, and it is the time to be naughty.

"You child, how can you be so naughty! I'm not afraid of falling. Zhang Jiao patted Zhang Ning's head.

Zhang Ning stuck out his tongue, then tilted his head and said, "I can't fall, by the way, does Daddy want to be the emperor?" ”

Zhang Jiao smiled and said, "Daddy is not the emperor, Daddy is a Taoist, where is there a Taoist priest who is the emperor." ”

"Then what did the senior brother say below just now that let Daddy be the emperor and everyone be the general."

Zhang Jiao's face twitched, he looked at Ma Yuanyi and the three of them and asked, "Do you three think the same way?" ”

Ma Yuanyi arched his hand and said, "Master is gracious to the world, and if you want to be the emperor, we naturally support it." ”

Zhang Mancheng also nodded and said, "Yes, otherwise who will we give the world to?" ”

Zhang Jiao sighed, shook his head and didn't speak.

He doesn't even have a son, even if he becomes the emperor, who can he give this throne to in the future.

Is it to Zhang Ning? Or to the future Zhang Ning's husband?

My three apprentices want to make themselves emperors, I'm afraid they want to wait for their brother to take over the throne in three days and a hundred years.

"This matter will be discussed in the future, and before you get the world, you think about how to sit in the world, isn't it a joke, Ning'er, you can't go out and tell others about it, understand?"

Zhang Ning nodded as if he didn't understand, but Zhang Jiao wasn't worried, Zhang Ning wouldn't leave this Taoist temple at all.

When Zhang Ning left, Zhang Jiao took out a map from his arms, opened it and said to the three of them, "The Han Dynasty is four hundred years old, deep-rooted, if you want to overturn, you must kill with one blow, so the plan of the division is to concentrate most of the forces to attack Luoyang, as long as Luoyang falls, the other states and counties will be scattered, and the Han will die."

However, Luoyang has four congestion of sanitation, there are many Xiongguan, the situation is dangerous, there are Hangu, Yique, Guangcheng, Dagu, Yuyuan, Hujiao, Mengjin, Pingjin eight passes, so it is necessary to divide the troops and attack together.

Bocai, you go to Yuzhou, as the commander of Yuzhou, once launched, you go to Yuyuan Pass, Tiger Prison Pass to attack Luoyang.

Mancheng, you go to Jingzhou, Jingzhou extends in all directions, it is a place to use troops, once launched, you will have to drag the soldiers and horses in Yi, Yang and other places in Jingzhou, and also go to Wuguan to attack Chang'an, Liangzhou I will send people to contact the Qiang people to contain the border army, as long as you take Chang'an, you will cut off Luoyang's retreat.

Yuanyi, you are the most dangerous, you have to go to Luoyang as an internal response, once launched, you must immediately burn the arsenal and other important places, and look for opportunities to capture the eight passes, waiting for the arrival of our army.

The last is for the division, and the division will lead all the main forces with your two uncles in Jizhou, cross the Yellow River to attack Mengjin, and take Luoyang.

Do you have any doubts? ”

"Teacher, we are all in Neizhou, and there is no strong enemy, but Jizhou is backed by You, and the two places, the border army in these two places is not weaker than Xiliang, can the teacher have a plan?" Bocai arched his hand and said.

"It's okay, although Zhiyuan and Guo Tai are not as good as you, but Wuhuan and Xiongnu have long been dissatisfied with the imperial court, and I have asked the two to contact them, not to defeat the enemy, but to entangle the enemy, it is not difficult to come."

Zhang Jiao said this, and everyone had no opinion, and they all bowed their hands and said, "Master, rest assured, the disciples will serve the death force, so as to become my peaceful and clean world!" ”

Zhang Jiao looked at the map of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty in front of him, ten years, he has accumulated ten years, it's time!
