Chapter 463: The country name is the Ming Empire

In the north, Huangfu Song used fire to attack and kill more than a dozen tens of thousands of yellow turbans, and after breaking through, he led his troops directly south to attack Mengjin.

In the south, Qin Hao defeated Xiang Yu and took advantage of the situation to seize Guangcheng Pass, and now when attacking Yique Pass, he divided his troops to attack Dagu Pass.

After learning these news, the anger in the big tent was instantly suppressed to the extreme.

Who would have thought that the nearly 600,000 troops on the north and south routes would be defeated so easily, and so completely, that it even directly affected them.

Next, in case the three passes are lost, Sizhou will definitely face the trend of encirclement on all sides, so the encirclement of the Han army must not be formed. All Qu Shuai thought so in their hearts.

After Zhu Yuanzhang looked around, he said lightly: "At present, although Sanguan is still in our hands, and Luoyang has also sent reinforcements, the situation is still not optimistic, and the military division and the young master are not enough to have troops, so they must return to Luoyang immediately." ”

When the 'young master' was mentioned, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes unconsciously flashed a trace of admiration, and the rest of the Qu Shuai unexpectedly calmed down.

On the eve of the decisive battle of Hanshui, Zhang Jiao had already announced in public that Zhang Sheng was his only son, and this incident caused an uproar in the yellow scarf.

At the beginning, everyone in the Yellow Turban thought that the heir of the great sage and good teacher was either Xiang Yu or Huang Chao.

But with the defeat of Huangchao and the depreciation, Xiang Yu was demoted because of the massacre and fall out of favor, and the general Zhang Hao seemed to be the only candidate.

Qin Hao has been deliberately concealing the news of Zhang Liang's capture, and Zhang Jiao has not deliberately made it public, so most people in the Yellow Turban don't know that Zhang Liang has been captured.

Everyone thinks that the future emperor of the Heavenly Kingdom must be Zhang Liang, the younger brother of the great sage and good teacher, but who knew that on the eve of the founding of the country, the great sage and good teacher suddenly had a son.

Regarding the dispute over the heir to the Yellow Turban, it was already tortuous and responsible, but this turn of events really stunned all the people who ate melons.

In other words, isn't there only two daughters of the great sage and good teacher?

Also, this kid named Zhang Sheng, ah no, it's the young master, why did he come out without a hint, this secrecy work is too good, right?

Most of the middle and lower levels of the Yellow Turban are illiterate ordinary people, and there are not many people who really have insight, and almost everyone thinks that Zhang Jiao is to protect this lone seedling, so he deliberately conceals Zhang Sheng's identity.

But the fact is that the Yellow Turban has stayed in the embarrassing situation of having no successor, and Zhang Jiao has no choice but to let the righteous woman dress as a man, otherwise because once he dies, the leaderless Yellow Turban will immediately split, and the good situation will fall apart.

Zhu Yuanzhang is one of the few people who has noticed Zhang Jiao's intentions and has insight into Zhang Sheng's true identity, and he has a reverence in his heart for the young master of the saint who stepped forward.

Thinking of the suffocating face of the saint, but she had to use her daughter's body to carry the future of the yellow scarf, Zhu Yuanzhang regretted it in his heart.

Holy Maiden, no, young master, even if everyone is against it, I, Zhu Yuanzhang, will definitely support you.

Although Zhang Sheng is the identity of the young master, most of Qu Shuai does not agree, after all, he has not made the slightest achievement, and only supports Zhang Jiao's diehard party, and Zhu Yuanzhang is one of Zhang Jiao's diehard parties.

"It is necessary to retreat, but we can't directly let the whole army retreat."

Chen Youliang said to Zhu Yuanzhang with a serious face: "We must leave enough troops to garrison, otherwise if the Han army takes advantage of our army's retreat to attack, our army may be at risk of rout." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, he was also dizzy, how could the 400,000 Han army easily let them go?

"What Chen Shuai said is reasonable, I don't know if you Qu Shuai, who wants to take the initiative to stay?"

Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that it was not a good errand to stay, after all, Qin Wen and Dong Zhuo's 400,000 army were not easy to deal with, but there were so many Qu Shuai present, but no one stood up, which made his face a little bad.

Chen Youliang saw a trace of struggle flashing in his eyes, and thought that maybe after a long time, he stood up and said: "The last general is willing to stay." ”

"Okay." Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly got up and said happily: "I will leave Chen Shuai with an army of 100,000, and I must defend the wild king to the death." ”

"No."

The Han army has the natural danger of Hangu, and the Yellow Turban is not without danger to defend, Yewang City is the best fortress, and when the grain and grass are sufficient, it is more than enough for 100,000 troops to defend for a year.

It's a pity that neither Zhu Yuanzhang nor Chen Youliang thought that the Han army had neither the pursuit nor the intention of attacking the city, all they wanted was to trap the Yellow Turban.

In this way, Chen Youliang led 100,000 troops to defend Yewang City, while Zhu Yuanzhang led more than 600,000 troops back to Luoyang, but before he arrived in Luoyang, he got the news of the fall of Dagu Pass.

——————

Luoyang, Imperial Palace.

After learning the news that Xiang Yu was defeated and Zhang Liang was captured, Zhang Jiao's body deteriorated, and now it is almost to the limit.

In order not to stimulate Zhang Jiao, Diao Chan is not, it is Zhang Sheng, Zhang Sheng didn't even dare to say the news of the defeat of the Northern Route Army, and Zhang Jiao asked her only to report good news and not bad news.

Zhang Sheng picked up the medicinal food, and while carefully feeding it one bite at a time, he asked: "Father-in-law, now that the founding of the country is about to be founded, what kind of country name do you say?" ”

Zhang Jiao, who had a weak face, suddenly came to his senses when he heard this, and said solemnly after pondering: "Heaven and earth are always changing, the sun and the moon are yin and yang. It's better to take 'Ming' as the country name.

"The Ming Empire?" Zhang Sheng muttered to himself, and then smiled: "Good name." ”

After serving Zhang Jiao and taking the medicine, Zhang Sheng walked towards the conference hall of the palace hall.

Zhang Sheng, who is dressed in men's clothes, is three points more handsome than Song Yu and Pan An, and the eyes of the unaware palace ladies are full of admiration.

Standing at the door of the main hall, looking at the entire palace, Zhang Sheng sighed in a low voice: "After all, we will still lose, what is the point of continuing to trap the beast and fight, it is just a matter of adding casualties." ”

Zhang Sheng didn't expect that the Han would turn the tables with the 'Trapped Dragon Game', although he had long known that the Yellow Turban was doomed to fail, but it was inevitable that she would be sad when the day came, not to mention that she was about to become the emperor as the heir of the Heavenly Kingdom.

Teacher, is that what you're for? Let the people and the family fight to lose both? Zhang Sheng said secretly in his heart.

Guo Jia walked to Zhang Sheng's side and said: "The great sage and good teacher have failed, but they have also completely destroyed the foundation of the Han Dynasty, and the Han who has completely lost the hearts of the people will die sooner or later." ”

Zhang Sheng glanced at Guo Jia and didn't speak, seeing that Zhang Sheng didn't care about himself, Guo Jia was dissatisfied: "Former Yellow No. 1, I helped you solve so many troubles, but you ignored me, is this really good?" ”

Zhang Jiao's current body can no longer handle government affairs, and basically all government affairs of the yellow scarf are handled by Zhang Sheng.

Guo Jia and Feng Yunshan became Zhang Sheng's right and left hands, and the two of them had a military and a government, and almost helped Zhang Sheng solve all the troubles.
