After Dong Zhuo arrived in Jizhou, he gave up continuing to besiege Guangzong County, which was guarded by Zhang Jiao, and led the main force to attack Xiaquyang County, which was defended by Zhang Bao, and besieged it for more than two months. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this time, Huang Pusong, who received the imperial edict and led the army to the north, had already arrived in Cangting, Dongjun, and fought with the Yellow Turban Army here several times, captured the thief and killed more than 7,000 people, and temporarily stayed here to rest.

On the battlefield of Quyang, Dong Zhuo began to urge Huang Pusong to go north and join forces with him to attack Zhangjiao.

But in order to get Huang Pusong, Emperor Ling was very dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo's inaction for two months, and ordered him to be escorted back to Beijing in the same way, and sentenced to a commutation of death.

Soon, in October, the Yellow Turban Camp of Guangzong.

Zhang Jiao, who was dying, was lying in the handsome tent, except for his second brother Zhang Bao, who was surrounded in Quyang, almost all the northern yellow turban generals came here.

Zhang Liang, who was waiting outside the tent, was called in by Zhang Jiao, looking at the eldest brother with a sallow face and a dead face, Zhang Liang knelt on the ground, grabbed Zhang Jiao's hand, and said with a cry: "Big brother, tell me you'll be fine?" ”

Zhang Jiao looked at his third brother, shook his head, and said in a weak voice: "Third brother, I know my life, I don't need to say much." ”

"No, big brother, I will find a way to save you, I will send someone to find the Nanhua Immortal, he must have a way!" Zhang Liang said loudly.

"Third brother, it's useless, the limit for brother has arrived, even if you are lucky enough to find Shizun, it's useless, now you listen to me......"

Zhang Liang looked at his eldest brother with teary eyes, he knew that this was his eldest brother who was explaining to him what was going on, but he didn't want to listen to him, he just wanted his eldest brother to continue to live.

"Big brother, how can you give up so easily if your ambition is not rewarded? Big brother, even if you don't think about me and my second brother, you also think about the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who follow you outside, they are still waiting for you to go out and lead them to counterattack the Han family and dominate the world!" Zhang Liang cried out in his voice.

Zhang Jiao looked at the appearance of his third brother, obviously remembering his unfinished great cause, his eyes were a little confused, thinking about the ups and downs of the past ten years, he started from scratch, from behind the scenes to the front of the stage, from a worthless rural barefoot doctor to today's great sage and good teacher, General Tiangong. He felt that his life was wonderful, and he gave the rest of his life to his ambitions, although he was still honored.

Zhang Jiao, who had recovered from his memories, suddenly felt like he was back to the time when he was at his most energetic, and said to his third brother rationally: "Third brother, do you have to remember every word you say for your brother now?" ”

Zhang Liang nodded, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and he also accepted the bad news that his eldest brother was about to die.

Zhang Jiao saw that his third brother understood, so he said: "Third brother, we have failed, after I die, you can take my body to beg for surrender to the Han army, and say that it may not be that the Han Emperor will let you and your brothers live." ”

Looking at Zhang Liang, who wanted to interject, Zhang Jiao signaled him not to speak, and continued: "If Emperor Han does not accept your surrender, you can't fight to the death here, you take your brothers to withdraw, the farther you retreat, the better, go to a place where the Han family can't reach to accumulate strength, I think after our trouble, the Han family will not be long in life." ”

"Big brother, don't worry, I, Zhang Liang, will never surrender to the Dog Emperor, and my second brother and I will continue to complete your great cause." Zhang Liang said firmly.

Zhang Jiao smiled with relief, in addition to the most trusted disciples in his life, his two younger brothers were also his closest people, he suddenly felt that he was very sorry for his relatives, he had brought them on this road of death if they were not benevolent, and he knew that they could not go back.

"Third brother, it's me who is sorry for you and your second brother, it's the eldest brother's incompetence that didn't allow you to live a peaceful life, but made you live with me in fear for most of your life." Tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

"Big brother, no, it's you who make our lives so exciting, we are willing to follow the eldest brother and help the eldest brother fulfill his long-cherished wish, your wish is the wish of me and the second brother!" Zhang Liang clenched Zhang Jiao's hand even more.

Zhang Jiao felt that it was enough to have these two younger brothers who would never abandon him in this life, and God also favored him. The only thing he can't let go of now is his only daughter Zhang Ning, this girl is also a stubborn temper, he can't let her have a daughter's family to live this kind of life, so he reluctantly got up and leaned on the pillow and said: "Third brother, after I die, you remember to send Ning Ning to the south as far as possible, there is no war there, let her live incognito and find a good family to live a good life, this is my only wish!" ”

Zhang Liang nodded and said, "Big brother, don't worry, I know, even if I tie up, I will kidnap Ning Ning!" ”

When Zhang Jiao saw that his third brother understood, he suddenly felt that he was very tired and wanted to sleep, but he couldn't fall down yet, so he said to Zhang Liang with round eyes: "Gather the generals, I have something to explain to them." ”

"No." Zhang Liang turned around and walked out of the tent and called in all the major generals here.

"Meet the Heavenly Prince!" The generals bowed their heads.

Looking at the large group of people kneeling in front of him, Zhang Jiao seemed to use all his strength and said: "From now on, General Zhang Liang is your biggest leader, do you have any opinions?" After speaking, Zhang Jiao stared at the generals below who dared to raise their heads to look at him, although they were a little muddy.

Under Zhang Jiao's deterrence, no one dared to raise objections, and they knelt down and said: "Obey the orders of General Tiangong!" ”

Looking at the generals below, whether they were sincere or fake, Zhang Jiao didn't say much, and directly waved them back, asking Zhang Liang to call his daughter Zhang Ning over, he decided to meet her for the last time, he couldn't wait, and after meeting, he had to take advantage of the fact that the main force of the Han army had not yet arrived to send her away.

Not long after Zhang Liang went down, a girl in white entered the handsome tent, looking at her father with a smile, Zhang Ning suddenly pounced on Zhang Jiao's body, and said with red eyes: "Father, you tell Ning Ning that you will be fine, right?" After saying that, she stared at her father with hopeful eyes, and she wished that at this time, her father would pick her up with a smile and take her and her mother to catch butterflies in the field like she had done when she was a child......

However, she knew that there was no going back, her mother had already missed her father who had traveled far away for many years and died early, and now her father was also going to leave her?

Zhang Jiao touched the head of his most beloved daughter, and said affectionately: "Ning Ning, don't worry, Father will be fine, Father is just too tired, and it will be fine in a few days." ”

But the teardrops in the corners of Zhang Ning's eyes did not decrease because of Zhang Jiao's comforting words, but flowed more and more, and his tone became more and more sad.

Zhang Jiao knew that he couldn't hide his smart daughter, but he would never say the sentence that he was going to die, he would rather his daughter still have illusions about his words, so he continued to comfort her and give her the purest white lie from her father.

After finally persuading his daughter to leave, Zhang Jiao called in and his third brother ordered him to arrange for his henchmen to stun her immediately, send her away overnight, and when she woke up, he told her never to mention that her father was Zhang Jiao.

That night, after stuning Zhang Ning, Zhang Liang arranged for the chief of the guard with his most confidant to take Zhang Ning with several martial arts experts to flee south immediately, telling them that the farther away they were, the better, and their final task was to protect Zhang Ning.

After sending Zhang Ning away, Zhang Liang reported back to Zhang Jiao. Zhang Jiao was completely relieved when he heard this.

Zhang Jiao, who fulfilled all his wishes, could no longer survive the call of death, and was found dead in bed in the early morning three days later, dying peacefully.

Zhang Liang was in great pain. Ordered the whole army to wear a white scarf and send a dead soldier to break through the encirclement of the Han army and report to Zhang Bao, the second brother of Quyang.
