In the end, Yu Fuluo failed to get any food from Zhang Yi, and Yu Fuluo didn't bother to think about the suggestion he gave to go to Li Yi to borrow grain. Not only because he was not familiar with Li Yi, but more importantly, because Li Yi went north to hunt some time ago, not only announced his martial arts to the Xianbei people, but also played a very big deterrent role for the Huns in Bingzhou.

And compared to others, Yu Fuluo had already known Li Yi's name a long time ago, although Li Yi did not seem to reject the Hu people, but Yu Fuluo knew very well that in Li Yi's bones, the pride of the Han people. In addition, Li Yi, who was in Bingzhou, must have a better understanding of the situation in Bingzhou than Zhang Yi, who had been staying in Hedong, and you must know that although Bingzhou also suffered from drought, it was the only state that did not ask for support from the imperial court.

"Heh, the Huns want to borrow grain?" When Li Yi got the news from Zhang Yi, there was a burst of cynicism. However, that's all, the order of the imperial court has come to Manbo, although Li Yi was not investigated for hunting, but he still reminded Li Yi and asked him to be honest.

But even without the will of the imperial court, Li Yi would not have time to go to the north. On the one hand, it is naturally because going to the north in the middle of winter is a waste of time. On the other hand, he was busy training his troops, waiting for the first big challenge after he came to this era.

At the end of November, Julu County, Julu County, Jizhou.

Zhang Jiao stood in the courtyard of the mansion, looking at the sky silently with his hands behind his back, "First there was a drought, and now it has snowed heavily in November. It seems that even God is on my side! Zhang Jiao muttered.

It took him a long time before he turned around, his eyes lingering on the faces of a group of people not far in front of him. These people, the first two are his two younger brothers, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao, and behind them are the 48 disciples with the highest status in Taiping Dao and the most valued by Zhang Jiao.

After a long time, he slowly spoke, "I am glad that you can still have such a firm belief after knowing the mission of Taiping Dao. However, faith alone is not enough! If you want to overthrow the incompetent Han Dynasty and bring a happy and prosperous life to all the people in the world, you also need strong force and wisdom! ”

"Lords of the parties, what you have to do now is to return to your respective territories at once and act according to the plan. Remember, you must not let the Han court find out! Zhang Jiao looked at everyone and said with a serious expression.

"Please rest assured, for the sake of all the people in the world, I will not give up!" The crowd shouted in unison.

"In addition, a few of you are responsible for contacting those families and merchants who are good friends with Taiping Dao, and asking them to support various materials. Tell them that once it happens, I will never forget their kindness! After Zhang Jiao finished speaking, he looked at his eldest disciple Ma Yuanyi and said, "Yuanyi, you stay, and the others leave first." ”

"Yes!" When everyone heard this, they quickly left, their expressions full of solemnity, but there seemed to be a fire flickering in their eyes. However, there are also a few people who look at Ma Yuanyi with a hint of envy and jealousy, because they know that among their disciples, the person Zhang Jiao values the most is Ma Yuanyi, and even sometimes, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang's two younger brothers are not as good as him.

After they left, Zhang Jiao glanced at Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, and then the two nodded silently and left quickly. Zhang Jiao valued Ma Yuanyi, which Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang knew very well, and even they knew things that many other disciples did not know. But the two of them never complained about it. Because from childhood to adulthood, they all have a very firm belief that what their eldest brother does is always right.

Soon, there were only two people left in the courtyard, Zhang Jiao looked at Ma Yuanyi quietly, and only after a long time did he speak slowly, "Yuanyi, how long have you been with me?" ”

Hearing this, Ma Yuanyi paused for a moment, but still replied quickly, "Since I was rescued by your mentor in the past, I have been following my mentor for 15 years......

"Yes, it's been 15 years, and the boy who didn't know the height of the sky at the beginning has now become very mature and stable~" Zhang Jiao sighed when he heard this.

Hearing Zhang Jiao's words, Ma Yuanyi couldn't help but touch his head and laugh. In the past, he was only a 15-year-old boy, because his parents were killed by local officials, he took the risk to kill people in the street, and finally fled all the way into the mountains, and was almost eaten by wild beasts. It was Zhang Jiao, who saved him from the mouth of the beast when he was dying, healed and taught knowledge, it can be said that Zhang Jiao is Ma Yuanyi's second father.

"Yuanyi, you are my most trusted disciple, and at the same time the most capable person in the Taiping Dao, so I said directly, I have something that may be very, very important to hand over to you." Zhang Jiao said, keeping his eyes on Ma Yuanyi, and only after seeing that he didn't react before continuing. "From now on, you are responsible for preparing for the uprising over there in Luoyang."

"This ......" Hearing this, Rao is Ma Yuanyi admitted that he had seen the wind and waves, and he couldn't help but be shocked. Over there?! Please forgive the offense, Luo Yang is the capital master of the Han Dynasty, and there is an incident there......" Ma Yuanyi looked at Zhang Jiao hesitantly and said.

"The heavily guarded teacher of Luoyang naturally knows it, so he needs you to go out in person. The teacher has already won over the eunuchs Feng Zhen and Xu Feng in the court, this time you go, in addition to deepening the connection with them, you also have to win over more people, especially Zhang Rang! Zhang Jiao said with a solemn expression.

"Zhang Rang is now the leader of the eunuch group, if we can get his help, we can directly control the incompetent emperor in the event of an incident, and we may even directly control the Tiger Ben Army!!" Zhang Jiao looked at Ma Yuanyi and explained.

The Tiger Ben Army is a forbidden army in this era, only obeying the emperor's orders, although the combat effectiveness has long been without war, it has long been less powerful than the Han Wu period, but it is the most important part of Zhang Jiao's plan.

"Although there are now 36 parties in the Taiping Dao, and there are hundreds of thousands of believers, these people alone are not enough to succeed. Not to mention the officers and soldiers of the imperial court in various places and those famous generals who can fight well, only the local families and landlords are powerful, who is an idle person? With the words of ordinary people alone, it is difficult to really overthrow the Han family. Zhang Jiao said at the end, his tone was full of helplessness.

He preached for more than ten years, and at first he really wanted to help the poor people, but as the number of believers increased, a seed called ambition began to slowly sprout in his heart. It's just that, while his ambition is increasing, he also finds it difficult to achieve this ambition.
