When Zeng Yu was talking about the Yellow Turban Road, at this time in a county town in Julu County, the three Zhang Jiao brothers got together again. Previously, in addition to Zhang Jiao's training of Yellow Turban wrestlers in Julu County, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang went to contact the leaders of the Yellow Turban Road respectively, and just rushed back to report the situation to Zhang Jiao.

Zhang Bao went to Qingzhou and Yangzhou, while Zhang Liang set out from Jizhou and went to Jingzhou through Bingzhou, and as for Yanzhou and Yuzhou, Zhang Jiao sent his cronies and disciples to make contact.

Zhang Bao said to Zhang Jiao, "Big brother, now that our power has been established, there are many believers under the command of the thirty-six Fang Qu Shuai, the most are twenty or thirty thousand, and the few are nearly ten thousand, plus our Jizhou, at least 700,000 believers can be gathered." ”

"That's right, big brother, now that the Han Emperor has no way, and the names of the people are boring, we should make a decision immediately and save everyone from fire and water." Zhang Liang is young and relatively anxious, he has been promoting the teachings of the Yellow Turban Dao, and he is also convinced of it, and he is eager to immediately let the Yellow Turban Dao spread all over the world, and everyone will become a believer.

"Don't be impatient, I have asked the gods for instructions, our incident is scheduled for next year, the big man is not exhausted now, and he still needs a strong medicine. The gods signaled that disaster would befall Dahan next year, and I just waited. Zhang Jiao shook his head and said slowly.

Of course, it is impossible to say whether it is a sign from the gods or not, but it is the best explanation for the believers, and it can also improve the overall morale of the army of believers in the event of the next year's uprising.

"Big brother, now that we are so powerful, I am worried that the government will detect it, and once there is an accident, we will lose the opportunity." Zhang Bao is aware of the influence of the Yellow Turban Road today.

When he went out to contact Qu Shuai in various places, he saw that in some places, many people did not hesitate to sell their property in order to defect to the Yellow Turban Road, and they traveled thousands of miles to be the first, scrambling to be the first, and the gangsters were crowded to the brim, and it is said that more than 10,000 people were trampled to death halfway. There are pros and cons to this matter, the good side is that it can be seen that the people have fanatical belief in the Yellow Turban Road, but the disadvantage is that it is easy to be detected by the government.

"It's okay, do you know who our sect members are?" Zhang Jiao asked rhetorically.

"We use water charms and mantras to cure diseases and save people as a means of preaching and preaching, and they must be ordinary people." After the expansion of the Yellow Turban Dao, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang rarely preached in person, nor did they participate in the management of the Yellow Turban Dao believers, so they did not know much about it.

"That was at the beginning, and now among our believers, there are many heroes, officials, eunuchs, etc., and with them helping to cover in the court, the Han family will not set their eyes on us." Zhang Jiao said.

"I see." Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang suddenly realized that when they came back from this outing, they were still worried all the way, afraid that the government would suddenly suppress the Yellow Turban Dao.

"We are brothers, you two are the people I trust the most, in the next year, what you have to do is to help me train the believers, and at the same time stock up enough food and grass, once we get into trouble, the believers will only be more, we must prepare enough food and grass." Zhang Jiao said solemnly to his two younger brothers.

"Follow the orders of the eldest brother!" The two readily agreed.

"Okay, you guys go down first, I still have some things to deal with, remember to let the Qu Shuai below be calm and don't be impatient, and everything will be obeyed by orders." Zhang Jiao was afraid that Qu Shuai from all over the country would act privately, so he solemnly instructed again.

"I'll understand!"

Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were mainly responsible for contacting Qu Shuai in various places, and after Zhang Jiao's repeated instructions, they knew the importance of the matter, and left after receiving the order, they needed to convey the instructions of the gods to all Qu Shuai.

After Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang left, a person suddenly walked out of the back screen of Zhang Jiao's room, and he said to Zhang Jiao, "Teacher, do we really plan to overthrow the Han Dynasty next year?" ”

"That's right, Tang Zhou, you are my most trusted disciple, so I asked you to set up an industry in Luoyang three years ago, and serve as the deputy commander of Luoyang, just in the hope that you can take on a heavy responsibility. Ma Yuanyi joined the religion later than you, but he now has an official position in the Han family, and he can unite the forces of the eunuchs and the forbidden army, so let him serve as the commander of the canal. But I trust you the most, and Luoyang, as the capital of the Han Dynasty, once something happens, your importance is the greatest, and you must not let me down. Moreover, the incident of our Yellow Turban Dao is not my personal will, but the signal of the gods, so that our Yellow Turban Dao can save all the people from fire and water."

It turned out that the person hiding behind the screen was called Tang Zhou, and he was a disciple that Zhang Jiao had accepted very early. After Zhang Jiao had the idea of overthrowing the Han family, he arranged for Tang Zhou to go to Luoyang to develop his power, and successfully developed Ma Yuanyi, a local in Luoyang, to become a believer. Ma Yuanyi lived in Luoyang, had dealings with the three sects and the nine streams, and held a small position in the guard army of the Han family, which was the most important link in Zhang Jiao's plan in Beijing.

"Disciple obeys the teacher's orders!" It was difficult to disobey the teacher's fate, Tang Zhou saw that Zhang Jiao's determination had been decided, and he could only hold his fists to receive his life.

Seeing this, Zhang Jiao was relieved, he was worried that Tang Zhou would have other ideas, and deliberately said that the Yellow Turban Dao incident was the meaning of the gods, that is, he hoped that with his disciple's reverence for the gods, he made up his mind to follow him to overthrow the Han family. However, if he has a deeper understanding of our Chinese people, he will find that whether it is ancient or modern, once food and clothing are solved, few people will continue to hand over their decisions to the so-called gods, but believe that man will conquer heaven.

As for Zhang Jiao, in his opinion, now he only needs to wait for the Qi of the Han family to be broken by the gods next year, and he will lead the 36 Yellow Turban Dao believers to overthrow the Han family and rebuild the Taiping world in one go.

Of course, the development of things still depends on the actual situation in the future, and now it is not only Zeng Yu who is staring at the Yellow Turban Road, but also some other wealthy families, and even some Han clan relatives are also waiting for them to get into trouble.

For example, known as the fourth and third dukes, in addition to the royal Liu family in the Han Dynasty, the most powerful Hongnong Yang family and Runan Yuan family. The current power of the two families can be said to have reached the peak of the family, countless officials in the world are disciples of the two families, and many families take their heads as the leader, at this time, if they do not have the idea of going further, it is impossible.

The shout of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in Daze Township back then, his significance was not only to uncover the peasant uprising at the end of Qin and the restoration movement of the Six Kingdoms, but more importantly, he shouted out the deepest trace of ambition in the hearts of Chinese compatriots, "Princes and generals, would you rather have a kind?" ”

However, for more than 300 years in the Han Dynasty, the people are accustomed to submitting to the rule of the Liu family, and if they usurp the throne, their names will not be good, and they will definitely be pointed out by thousands of people and will be attacked by the people of the world. Therefore, they need an opportunity, an opportunity to attack the prestige of the Han dynasty and improve their own prestige.

And the Yellow Turban Road incident is such an opportunity. Over the past few hundred years, although rebellions have occurred from time to time, they have only been small-scale uprisings, and they have not shaken the foundation of the Han family. According to the understanding of the various families of the Yuan family, the Yellow Turban Dao has covered the eight prefectures of Qing, Xu, You, Hebei, Jing, Yang, Yan and Henan in the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, with at least more than 500,000 believers, and only a lot more.

Once such a large-scale Yellow Turban Dao is revealed, it will definitely rise like thunder on the ground, shaking the whole world and shaking the prestige of the Han rule. Families such as the Yuan family in Runan can take the opportunity to build an army in the name of counterinsurgency, seize the military power in their hands, and then make contributions through counterinsurgency, and will naturally be supported by the people of the world. In addition, now Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty is perverse, regardless of the life and death of the people, as long as it is operated properly, "Tian Chen usurped Qi" or "King Wu Xuan" can be copied.

If you talk about the Han family, at this time, you have to mention Liu Yan, who was the Taishou of Nanyang County at the time. Liu Yan is a descendant of Liu Yu, the king of Lugong of the Western Han Dynasty, and was awarded the position of Langzhong because of his clan status, and left his post due to the death of his teacher Zhu Tian Han Huan Emperor Situ, and lectured and taught in Yangcheng Mountain. Later, he was promoted as a virtuous and good square, was conscripted by Situ Mansion, successively served as the commander of Luoyang County, the assassin of Jizhou, and now serves as the Taishou of Nanyang County.

The Han family has always been that all clan relatives have the qualifications to inherit the unification, Liu Yan, as a member of the Han family, witnessed the chaos of the dynasty under the rule of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the decline of the royal family, and gradually became the heart of the crown. And now that Emperor Ling of Han is old, he has not set up a prince, which makes his mind more lively. In Liu Yan's mind, the two princes of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Liu Braids and Liu Xie, who are now threatening him, are the other clan relatives, and he has not taken them into account for the time being.

He is also looking forward to the uprising of the Yellow Turban Dao, because of his identity as a clan, once he has made great contributions in the Yellow Turban Dao and is famous all over the world, if Emperor Ling of Han dies, he will not be able to operate and successfully inherit the unification. Even if Emperor Ling of Han established the crown prince before his death, if he Liu Yan had enough prestige, he would naturally be able to override the other party, as for things like killing the emperor, he would not do it, but if the new emperor died of illness after taking office, his respected clan relatives had to provoke the big beam at the request of everyone, and it was still okay.

"Mao'an, I asked you to keep an eye on the Yellow Turban, how are they now, are there any unusual behaviors?" Mao'an is the character of Dong Fu, he previously served as a servant of the imperial court, and when Liu Yan was in charge of Nanyang County, he did Liu Yan's work. Liu Yan wanted to use the Yellow Turban Dao, so he deliberately let people keep an eye on the Yellow Turban Dao believers in Nanyang County, once they got into trouble, he could find out and suppress them as soon as possible.

"Back to my lord, there is nothing unusual about the Yellow Turban Road. It's just that some time ago they received a visitor from the north, who seemed to be an important person in the Yellow Turban Road, because our spy position was not high, and it was not clear who it was, this person stayed in Nanyang County for two days, and then left. Dong Fu replied.

"Where did this man go after he left?" Liu Yan asked.

"It's not clear where they're going, they have believers to protect them, and they're very vigilant, and our people didn't keep up, they only knew that they were going to the south."

"South, it seems that they have begun to contact believers from all over the world, you help me keep an eye on it, and once there is any change in the Yellow Turban Road, you will tell me as soon as possible." Liu Yan thought for a while, and solemnly instructed Dong Fu.

"No!"

In Liu Yan's view, the Yellow Turban Dao is loyal to Jizhou, and this person is from the north, and he must be a person sent by the Yellow Turban Dao Laolai. And the other party didn't go back directly after coming to Nanyang for two days, obviously he didn't come here to find Qu Shuai of Nanyang County, so obviously, it should be to contact Qu Shuai from all over the country. Now that the power of the Yellow Turban Dao is very large, the purpose of their contact is obvious.
