Chapter 42: Before Dawn
Last time, it was said that Liang Sheng and Zhao Yue'er came together.
Since Liang Xu and the others moved to Liu Bei's house, Liu's mansion has been lively day by day.
Happy times always pass very quickly, and before you know it, it comes to the end of January 184, when the Spring Festival is about to pass.
In the blink of an eye, the time came to the end of February of 184, just after the Spring Festival, the weather began to warm, the earth rejuvenated, and business travelers from all over the country could start to hit the road again.
Liang Xu had already scheduled to leave for the Central Plains in the middle of the year, so they still stayed at Liu Bei's house with peace of mind.
But there are also people who are already on the way to Luoyang. They are Tang Zhou and Ma Yuanyi.
How could Zhang Jiao feel at ease to send Tang Zhou, an unstable element, out to do things? Aren't you afraid that after he leaves his control, he will sell himself?
There's no way around it. There are only a few disciples of Zhang Jiao: Zhang Sheng (Liang Xu), Zhang Yan (Liang San), Zhang San, Zhang Niujiao, Zhang Mancheng, and Tang Zhou, who was later accepted.
Now Zhang Sheng and Zhang San have been sent to Zhang Ping (Liang Xu) to protect their mother and son. There are only 4 people left who can take charge of themselves under their own hands, and this still includes Tang Zhou's.
And what about the people under Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang?
Is Zhang Bao good at looking at people's eyes? Zhang Jiao couldn't rest assured of his own abilities.
Zhang Liang's people can rest assured, they are all heroes who are very righteous. But at best, they can be good men, and their brains are not very bright.
It is said that "one soldier will bear a nest of bears". That's true, and that's not wrong at all. What kind of generals there are, what kind of soldiers will be brought out.
Therefore, Zhang Jiao's subordinates are seriously understaffed.
This Tang Zhou, Zhang Jiao has also observed him for more than 3 years, and there is nothing abnormal when he sees him, although he still can't be completely assured, but he is not as dead as he was at the beginning.
However, the most important thing about the army and the army is that Tang Zhou cannot be contacted.
The affairs of the army are all handed over to the other three apprentices. Zhang Yan and Zhang Niujiao were jointly responsible for the day-to-day management of the Central Army, and Zhang Mancheng was in charge of the Guards Battalion. None of them can be transferred away to do other things. Besides, there is no one to adjust.
Therefore, in the end, Tang Zhou could only be sent out to run errands.
Of course, the preventive measures have also been arranged, that is, to let Ma Yuanyi see Tang Zhou to death.
Ma Yuanyi's head is not very good, but because of his simple mind, he identified Zhang Bao and was absolutely loyal to Zhang Bao.
3 years ago, because of the order to kill Tang Zhou, Ma Yuanyi's loyalty to Zhang Bao was shaken a little. But Zhang Bao also said that he only trusted Ma Yuanyi alone, and Ma Yuanyi was convinced of Zhang Bao's words, so that little bit of loosening had already been filled.
Ma Yuanyi's way of doing things is not comparable to ordinary people. As long as he is given an order, he will do exactly what he says he is told to do it impartially, and he will not be sloppy at all, like a robot.
Please support the genuine version of the book friends, please go to QQ to read or any other website under China Literature to support the author, I am very grateful.
In other words, as long as the program is set up, you can leave him alone at all. As long as the program is specific enough, there will be no deviation in his implementation.
Therefore, the order given to him now is to let him look at Tang Zhou, and he will follow Tang Zhou all the time when Tang Zhou eats, sleeps, goes to the toilet, etc., just like Tang Zhou's shadow. It should be said that he is more powerful than the shadow, and when it is dark all around, he will cling to Tang Zhou, so as not to let Tang Zhou run away because he can't see it.
It's good that everyone can't see it, otherwise they will definitely think that there is that kind of close relationship between the two big men that "everyone understands".
It's just that this is hard for Tang Zhou, if he turns his back to Ma Yuanyi, how uncomfortable it will be; If he faced Ma Yuanyi, he would feel even more scared, and Ma Yuanyi's breath sprayed on his face.
Tang Zhou had protested many times, but Ma Yuanyi, who was brainless, didn't know himself at all, and only repeated: "This is the master's order." ”
Tang Zhou was very suspicious that Zhang Bao would give such a perverted order, or that Ma Yuanyi would take a very perverted fancy to him. But whether Zhang Bao is a pervert or Ma Yuanyi is this pervert, they are all super perverted anyway! Super disgusting!
Tang Zhou also stayed under Zhang Bao, so he was also clear about the virtues of this Zhang Bao's big disciple. Although I feel very annoying and disgusting, I can't do anything about facing him by myself, and I won't even have the opportunity to find a chance to give Ma Yuanyi laxatives through friendship.
Ma Yuanyi had already received a death order, he was not allowed to eat or drink anything given by Tang Zhou, and was only responsible for keeping an eye on him and sending him safely to the Fengzhen Mansion in Luoyang. When he arrived at Feng Yu's mansion, he handed Tang Zhou and Zhang Jiao's handwritten letter to Feng Yu, and his task was over.
Zhang Jiao expected: As long as Tang Zhou arrives at the Fengzhen Mansion, naturally someone will take a close look at him, and he will not be afraid that Tang Zhou will be able to make any moths.
And Tang Zhou's task is: to describe Zhang Jiao's arrangements for the uprising with Feng Zhen in detail, and how to cooperate with Feng Zhen's side.
These contents are also in Zhang Jiao's letter, but sometimes there may be discrepancies between the description of the text and the reader's understanding. And Tang Zhou's brain is very flexible, Zhang Jiao wants to be able to convey his plan to Feng Yu more completely through his mouth.
In fact, Zhang Jiao himself was still not very comfortable with the third party's relay, and the uprising in Luoyang was the top priority of the entire uprising.
If the Luoyang Uprising succeeds and directly captures the palace and kills the Dog Emperor, then the Han Dynasty will be directly finished. At that point, the whole country will be leaderless and fighting on its own. Then you can slowly clean them up one by one.
If the Luoyang uprising failed, it failed to capture the palace. But as long as it is successfully launched, it will also have a huge impact on the Han Dynasty, which can make the Han Dynasty's brain mess up for a while, so that he can have time to stabilize the governance of the base area and eliminate the unstable factors. And then slowly draw it.
But if it fails to even launch, the Han Dynasty will react quickly. At that time, my side will be very passive.
It's a pity that it is impossible for him to leave Julu now, and it is impossible for Feng Zhen to leave Luoyang.
Although they seem to be a whole to the outside, in fact, they are often intrigued, openly and covertly, and compete for power and profit.
The reason why Feng Zhen participated in Zhang Jiao's major affairs was because his power among the ten permanent servants was the weakest.
He is very eager to turn over and fight for the first, but because his power is the penultimate one, no one is willing to take refuge in him, so he has never had the opportunity to pull down the previous 9 "good brothers who share weal and woe with wealth and wealth".
