Chapter 24: The Taiping Mission

【Planning an uprising】

Tongbi Mountain Zifang Cave, Zhang Liang is meditating here at the moment.

Just a few days ago, Taixuan Tongzi handed over Lao Jun's "flood discharge" task to Yu Ji.

The so-called "flood discharge" is to let the people completely vent the grievances accumulated in their hearts, only by venting these grievances, the energy of the karmic demons will also be dissipated, even if they can't completely eliminate the karmic demons, they can also make the night demon seriously injured, and his existence will become useless. Thus, a well-planned uprising began to brew.

The outbreak of the uprising can allow the people to completely vent their inner dissatisfaction with the rulers, and they can unite to defeat the powerful landlords who exploit them; They can unite to defeat the corrupt officials who oppress them, and they can unite to overthrow the inactive government of mediocrity and laziness; They can cut off the powerful and beheaded, and they can divide the assets of the landlords. They can take the place of corrupt officials and make their own decisions; They can enjoy being a master; They can feel the thrill of successfully turning over and becoming masters. All of this proves that the uprising is the best way to vent the emotions of the people.

Violent oppression, the common people have had enough; Hunger and sickness, the common people do not want to experience it again; War labor, the common people are avoided. All this was caused by the decaying rule of the Han Dynasty, and there must be an effect, and the occurrence of turmoil was not out of nowhere.

At this time, Taixuan Tongzi had a lot of thoughts, to be honest, planning an uprising was not what he wanted to see, and the words "Han Dynasty" had already been deeply integrated into his body and mind; The former self worked hard and hard for its growth.

And now, seeing that it is getting worse day by day, it is like a sick old man, and the rest is just lingering, and how heartache he is.

It is precisely because of this that after explaining the matter to Yu Ji, Taixuan Tongzi said a word to him: "Dahan, you still have to help him." Yu Ji took the order and left.

【Taiping Road】

At this time, Liu Bei can only be said to wash his face with tears, since his father died, it was his mother who started the family; I can't sleep at night, and it is my mother who tells the story for herself; The family is financially constrained, and it is the mother who works day and night; For the sake of his future, it was his mother who resolutely decided to send him out to study...... All kinds of past events of his mother suddenly appeared in Liu Bei's mind, vividly, he can never forget the hard years and his mother's love, and now before he has fulfilled his filial piety, his mother has left forever.

"Brother, let's pack up our things and go back." Liu Deran saw Liu Bei Mu Ne there, and said anxiously. He took out his duffel bag, packed up his clothes and Liu Bei's clothes, and took some dry food on the road.

Liu Bei was at a loss at this time, and after listening to Liu Deran's words, he got up and thought about what else to bring.

"Think about the things on the road, bring anything you need to bring, bring more dry food, don't forget to take your own money, two people take a good look at it, if there is anything to pull down!" To be honest, in the face of these two children, Lu Zhi has already regarded them as his own children, and after following him for so many years, Lu Zhi has carefully cultivated them and taught them to do their homework; took them to the battlefield; accompanied them to practice kung fu, and in Songshan, they discussed the insights of reading together; In Lujiang, participate in the handling of political affairs together; In Luoyang, participate in the political struggle together; It can be said that they have been on the knife mountain together, and they have been under the sea of fire together, and their own work will more or less ask them questions, so as to exercise their ability to deal with things and cultivate their way of thinking.

And now, they are about to leave, and there will inevitably be sadness in their hearts.

And for Liu Bei and them, for Lu Zhi's feelings, why not take care of his father, his own life, his own character training, his own life, which is not brought up by the teacher, he has been following the teacher for five years, he is grateful to this teacher from the bottom of his heart, life is in the world, fleeting, and being able to meet a good teacher can be described as a blessing in a lifetime. When Liu Bei was leaving, he didn't know what to say, and at this time, the two of them just said in a low voice: "Teacher, we are leaving, you must take care of yourself in the future." ”

"Okay, the teacher will, you should also pay attention to safety on the road!" Lu Zhi thought about it and said: "Liu Bei, after you go back, work hard, don't waste your youth, you are also twenty years old this year, as a teacher, I will give you a table, Liu Bei, preparation is the meaning of the hidden dragon, the teacher hopes that you will be able to have the virtue of latent but not focused on the outside in the future, and the hidden but not on the outside is called Xuande, you will be called Xuande in the future, Liu Bei, Liu Xuande." ”

"Yes, the teacher's words, Liu Bei will definitely take them to heart." Liu Bei and Liu Deran knelt down and kowtowed to Lu Zhi to say goodbye.

Lu Zhi looked at them, tears flashed in his eyes, he took out a bag of silver taels from his pocket, handed it to Liu Bei's hand, nodded to them and said: "Xuande, then you go, this is some savings for the teacher, you take it on the road, you are hungry on the road, buy something to eat, you are the time to grow your body, don't starve yourself!" ”

"Teacher~ We can't bear you!" Liu Bei took the silver and threw himself into Lu Zhi's arms.

"Silly boy, you can come and see the teacher if you have the opportunity in the future, there is no endless banquet in the world, this is life!" Lu Zhi stroked Liu Bei and Liu Deran's hair, patted their shoulders, and said reluctantly, "Go, child!" ”

......

Along the way, Liu Bei's mood has been in a sluggish state, the pain of bereavement, the wound of parting, and the confusion about the future, this series of troubles made Liu Bei more silent. Liu Deran also knew the sadness in Liu Bei's heart at this time, so he didn't speak, because the two of them were both relatives and friends for many years, and he knew that Liu Bei's troubles were used to internal digestion, so he never bothered him.

From Luoyang to Youzhou, you have to cross Sili, Jizhou, Youzhou, the distance of the road naturally does not need to be mentioned, but there is no way, no matter how far you have to go back. Liu Bei's way, what attracted their attention was no longer the grange that could be seen everywhere, but the homeless people that could be seen everywhere, the homeless people seen in Jizhou at this time were different from what they had seen in the past, they were all weak in the past, giving people a feeling of weakness, but the homeless people they saw this time were not like this, they were strong and full of energy, not like they couldn't eat, and the strange thing was that they were walking around in groups on the surface, but in fact they were more like they were flowing in an organized and disciplined manner. The most striking thing is that they are each wrapped in yellow scarves, Liu Bei doesn't know what this group of people do, what is going on with this group of people wrapped in yellow scarves, could it be their local customs, but along the way, you can often see such people, it is obvious that it is not a local custom, so what is going on?

"Uh-huh...... Uh-huh......"

There was a sound of crying, Liu Bei was interrupted by a child's cry at this time, looked around, and saw a teenage boy standing and crying, could it be that he was lost, Liu Bei thought.

Liu Bei and Liu Deran walked over, squatted down and asked, "Little friend, why are you crying here, what about your father?" ”

The child sobbed and said, "I'm lost, my father has died a long time ago, and my mother and I are lost." The little boy touched his tears in his hands, and he looked miserable.

"What can I do about this, where to find his mother in this wilderness, leave him here, I don't know when he will be taken away by wolves." Liu Deran looked around, except for the homeless people who walked by from time to time, there were only barren mountains and wild mountains, overgrown with wild grass.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he heard "taken away by a wolf", the child cried louder and louder.

The feeling of bereavement Liu Bei will never forget it, looking at this child, Liu Bei decided to take him with him, and said to Liu Deran: "Deran, take him with you." ”

"Let's go together, let's go to Zhuo County together? But we don't have much food on us. Liu Deran said in surprise.

"If the food is not enough, then you can't throw this child here, the teacher always teaches us to have the feeling of helping the world and the people, taking the world as our own responsibility, and then we will find a way when the food is not enough." After speaking, he took the child's hand and walked forward, Liu Deran had no choice, so he followed him.

"Little friend, what's your name, do you know where your mother went?" Liu Bei bent down and chatted with the child.

"My name is Chang Sheng, I don't know where my mother went, I only know that my mother is going to Youzhou with everyone, passing through the county seat on the way, the officers and soldiers don't let us stay in the county, so they want to arrest us, we all ran away, my mother and I ran away in the process of running, I cried and looked for my mother everywhere, I didn't find it for a long time, and then I ran into you."

Liu Bei was also puzzled, these people were all because their families were poor, and their families had no land to become homeless, although they moved around, but they did not do anything hurtful to heaven and reason, why did the officers and soldiers arrest them if they had nothing to do, and after thinking about it, he asked: "Why do the officers and soldiers want to arrest you for no reason, are you doing bad things?" ”

"No, my mother and everyone are disciples of the Great Sage and Good Master, before the village got the plague, if it wasn't for the help of the Great Sage and Good Master, we would have died of illness a long time ago, and then the Great Sage and Good Master gave us food to eat, so we are all very grateful to the Great Sage and Good Master, so everyone is under the organization of the disciples of the Great Sage and Good Master, and we are going around to promote the teachings of the Taiping Dao, so that more suffering people can join the Taiping Dao. The great sage and good teacher said that as long as you join the Taiping Dao, there will be no more exploitation and oppression in the world, no hunger, no cold, no disease, no fraud and theft, and everyone will be free and happy. The child saw that the two big brothers in front of him didn't know as much as he did, so he proudly told everything he knew.

Liu Bei asked at this time: "Then are you going to Youzhou to propagate the teachings?" ”

"Yes, listen to my mother, we are only one of the teams that propagate the teachings, and at present, there are hundreds of thousands of believers in the eight states of Youzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou."

"Hundreds of thousands, so many!" When Liu Deran heard this number, he couldn't help but scream.

At this time, Liu Bei already felt that this great sage and good teacher was not simple, and he used medical skills to treat the people and give them food, so as to buy people's hearts. He took advantage of the poverty of the common people, who urgently needed to get rid of this state of affairs, in order to achieve the purpose of propagating his teachings, and listening to the children, such propaganda was an organized activity, with a large number of people and wide coverage, which would inevitably have a negative impact in the future. I remember that when Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled, they also took advantage of the people's fear of being killed, and adopted strange means to incite the people to rebel with themselves, and since then the tyrannical Qin has gone to the road of destruction. It is no wonder that some counties want to arrest these people, presumably some people have already realized that some conspiracy may be hidden in these activities, so they decided to arrest them.

At this time, the sky was overcast, as if it was going to rain.

"It looks like it's going to rain, so let's find a place to rest for a while." Liu Deran said, and then everyone accelerated their pace.

At this time, the Han Dynasty was not on the verge of a storm, just like this day.
