That night, Zhang Liao and Liu Bei's three brothers had a long talk all night. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhang Liao's ideals and goals were strong and direct, that is, to control the Hulu outside, to determine the Central Plains inside, to end the troubled times, and to stabilize the people, and his military goals and decrees were also carried out in this direction.
In comparison, Liu Bei at this time was not the later hero, he was still a grassroots figure running around, although he had great ambitions, but without the assistance of strategic talents, he was still running around like a headless fly.
Zhang Liao talked about the ideals and practices, so that Liu Guanzhang couldn't help but be silent, there were huge waves churning in his heart, they were not peaceful people, Zhang Liao's experience made their blood boil, compared to them, they can only be regarded as bitter and miserable in the rivers and lakes over the years.
And Zhang Liao's decree made Liu Bei see another world and be excited.
In fact, the requirements of the people in this era are very simple, as long as they are stable and have food and clothing, Liu Bei and Minqiu have not committed any crimes, and they have won the support of the people, and the people under Zhang Liao's rule have more support for him.
Different from the shock of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Liu Bei undoubtedly saw the foresight and great role of these decrees more profoundly, and couldn't help but pick up the lamp and candle, and called Jian Yong to record Zhang Liao's decrees one by one.
Seeing Liu Bei's posture, Zhang Liao admired him, this person deserved to be a character, for other people, I am afraid that he would have already reprimanded or retreated when he heard his decrees, after all, most people in the troubled times are seeking stability, and Zhang Liao's decree is weakening the family, and only people like Liu Bei and Cao Cao can see the forward-looking nature of the decree and have the courage to implement the decree.
Zhang Liao did not hide that he taught the decree to Liu Bei, and he was not afraid of having one more opponent, one thing to know that the decree was one thing, and it was another thing to implement it, and the difficulty was only known to Zhang Liao, and he didn't know how many bloody means were used.
Second, the power of the family in this world is too strong, Zhang Liao alone is difficult to support, and it will become more and more difficult, after all, the place where he is active now is only the northwest border, and the most powerful place of the family is still in the Central Plains and the southeast.
What he needs is a helper, if people like Cao Cao and Liu Bei can implement his decrees, and can go through these decrees in the Central Plains and the southeast first, it would be great, no matter what the effect is, he will get twice the result with half the effort if he implements it again, and he will not become a rising bird, after all, he has already had a rising bird.
So Zhang Liao feels that he is very insidious, but he is also sincere, he hopes to have an assistant to end this chaos faster, as for who will be in charge of the ups and downs in the future, he has never been afraid of anyone.
Zhang Liao told Liu Bei about the resistance in the implementation of the decree, which made Liu Bei more convinced.
Moreover, Zhang Liao found that among Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Guan Yu was more interested in these decrees, after all, he was born in a civilian family and knew the hardships of ordinary people, but Zhang Fei was born in Haoqiang, and obviously did not have any pain, so he was not interested in it.
At the same time, Liu Bei also told Zhang Liao in detail about the situation in Qingzhou, and Zhang Liao also had a deeper understanding of Qingzhou.
Qingzhou has princes, yellow turbans, thieves and pirate forces, the most difficult to deal with is the Yellow Turban Army, the Yellow Turban forces in the Plains Country are very weak, they were all driven out by Liu Bei, and the main forces of the Yellow Turbans are still in the east of Qingzhou.
Qingzhou Yellow Turban has its particularity, after the failure of the Zhangjiao Yellow Turban in the first year of Zhongping, the rest of the Yellow Turban was divided, and later, the largest three strands were Black Mountain, Baibo and Qingzhou Yellow Turban.
Bai Bo was pacified by Zhang Liao, and Montenegro was also pacified by half, but really speaking, compared with Montenegro and Bai Bo, only the Qingzhou Yellow Turban is the orthodoxy of the Yellow Turban, and it is also a Yellow Turban that unswervingly respects the Taiping Dao, in essence, this is a religious uprising.
Zhang Liao once asked Zuo Ci about the Yellow Turban, and his understanding of the Yellow Turban was very deep, in fact, the million Yellow Turban Uprising in the first year of Zhongping was the uprising of the three Zhang Jiao brothers in Julu County, Hebei Province, but in fact, the root of Taiping Road still started in the Qingxu area.
Because the program of Taiping Dao "Taiping Qingling Book" is from Xuzhou Langya Taoist Yu Ji, and Nanhua Lao Dao is a native of Qingzhou, claiming to live in Penglai, and more than 80 years ago, there was a religious uprising in Qingzhou, which copied You, Qing, and Xu, which was the precursor of the Yellow Turban Uprising.
The religious atmosphere of Qingzhou is very strong, now the Taiping Road is covering the entire region, they worship the gods for the Yellow Emperor and Lao Tzu, that the Yellow Emperor is the world of peace, the best world, no exploitation and oppression, no hunger, cold and disease, no fraud and theft, everyone is free and happy.
In addition to the Yellow Emperor and Lao Tzu, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban also worships Zhonghuang Taiyi.
Taiyi is the highest emperor of Taoism, Taiping Dao is crowned with the word Zhonghuang before Taiyi, which is consistent with the end of the five virtues, Emperor Guangwu has to be called the emperor, and he claims to be the fire virtue, the fire gives birth to the earth, and the Taiping Road is self-proclaimed to the soil virtue, and the five elements are in the middle of the earth, and the color is still yellow, so they respect the Zhonghuang Taiyi, which is to let the Taiping Dao of the main movement of the earth will replace the Hou Han Wang Chao of the main movement of the fire virtue, and establish the Huangtian Taiping world.
Qingzhou Yellow Turban also believes in water healing and charms, and the people involved have fallen into a state of obsession. Taking Fu Shui as an example, they firmly believe that Fu Shui Ling is the spirit of Huang Tian, and Fu Shui is not spiritual, because they are not sincere, and even sacrifice their children and family wealth.
Under the power of faith, the Yellow Turban soldiers fought desperately, chanting "incantations", wielding wooden sticks, hoes, iron forks, spears and other weapons, fierce and crazy, without fear of death.
300,000 Yellow Turbans entered Yanzhou a few years ago, Cao Cao adopted a stubborn guerrilla strategy, and 300,000 Yellow Turbans finally took refuge in Cao Cao due to lack of food. But this is only a part of the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, and there are still a large number of Yellow Turban troops in Qingzhou.
Similarly, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban took refuge in Cao Cao, not because he gave up his faith, but also because of his faith, because the Yellow Turban Army only respected Huang Lao and Taiyi, and did not worship other gods, and the destruction of other gods and ghosts temples was banned, and Cao Cao destroyed the altar when he was the prime minister of Jinan, and what he did was consistent with the "Zhonghuang Taiyi Road".
Zhang Liao also knew that in the more than 20 years that Cao Cao had recruited the Qingzhou soldiers, the Qingzhou soldiers had always been relatively independent, and the military discipline was lax. When fighting with Lü Bu and Lübu in Yanzhou, the Qingzhou soldiers broke up first, and when they fought against Zhang Xiu in Shuishui, the Qingzhou soldiers wantonly plundered and were punished by the ban. This is completely different from the other troops under Cao Cao's command, which is not in line with Cao Cao's overlord's character, according to Zhang Liao's guess, Cao Cao is more permissive to them, and may not dare to poke this hornet's nest. And after Cao **, the Qingzhou soldiers immediately dispersed, because there were no more like-minded people with them.
Religious uprisings have always been the most sensitive, repetitive, and difficult to deal with, and for the fanatics, Zhang Liao did not think that he could easily handle them, which would take a long time, especially in this era of worshipping ghosts and gods, and the people were easily seduced, even if they were stable, they must be handled carefully to avoid rebellion again.
