Zhang Jiao's idea is very good, but it is a little whimsical, it is a troubled time, especially the uprising has not been long ago, for the insurrectionists, the leader has always been a person with excellent appeal, especially in the early days of the uprising, only if there is enough appeal to be able to pull up a vote and leave his life behind.

At this time, the change of generals due to suspicion will have a great impact on the morale of the soldiers. Even if it does, the impact will be even greater. Because his subordinates will think that the leader has made such a choice that is the opposite of the beginning, then for himself, due to the influence of the herd mentality, he will be more inclined to the leader's choice. As a result, if Zuo Zhangba surrendered to Li Xin, then once the soldiers of the Black Mountain faction fell into a desperate situation at the same time, surrender was inevitable. Zhang Jiao did make a faint move this time. But in a sense, he had to do it again.

Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao transferred most of the elite in Jizhou, which changed the proportion of the descendants of the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou to other factions, so that the descendants of the troops did not have an absolute overwhelming advantage, so that once the other factions had two hearts, then Zhang Jiao would never be able to resist. What's more, due to the increasing power, the gap between Zhang Jiao and his two brothers is getting bigger and bigger, which makes it impossible for Zhang Jiao to get even support once there is a problem, so for Zhang Jiao, it is better to have military power in his hand and an army than nothing, so it is imperative to remove the military power of the Montenegrin faction.

For the people of the Montenegrin faction, the uprising is nothing more than for his subordinates to live a good life, and they don't have to be oppressed to the situation of selling their sons and daughters, in fact, for many people in the Montenegrin faction, it is the greatest wish to live a life of food and clothing. Originally, the Montenegrin faction was biased towards Li Xin, because the surrounding areas of Bingzhou heard that the people of Bingzhou lived and worked in peace and contentment, did not extort and extort money, there were almost no major corrupt officials, let alone excessive taxes, and even gave relief to civilians. For ordinary people, such a place is a paradise, which makes everyone yearn for it, if it is not too far away, I believe that the vast majority of Montenegrin factions will go to merge with the state, instead of rising up.

Therefore, Zhang Jiao recalled all the men and horses of the Black Mountain faction to Guangzong, and it seemed that the troops had increased greatly, but in fact, they were the biggest enemies when Li Xin attacked the city.

Zhang Jiao invited Zhang Yan and Zhang Niujiao to Guangzong, of course, it was impossible to directly say that he wanted to take back the military power, but to have a feast, just like Song Taizu released the military power with a cup of wine hundreds of years later. At the beginning of the banquet, it went very smoothly, someone came to report on the way, saying that it was the defeated army that was brought to the truth, except for Zhang Jiao, the other participants did not know what was going on, Cheng Yuanzhi cried in front of everyone and told the truth, saying that Zuo Zhangba betrayed the good teacher and turned the truth, and when Gao Qushuai was killed by an arrow, Cheng Yuanzhi pulled out the sword he was wearing, his eyes were bloodshot, and he wanted to hack the people of the Black Mountain faction to death on the spot, the guards hurriedly stopped Cheng Yuanzhi, Zhang Jiao saw Cheng Yuanzhi's actions, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and nodded lightly. Everyone else was busy blocking Cheng Yuanzhi, so they didn't see Zhang Jiao's subtle demeanor.

Zhang Jiao paused and said to the Montenegrin faction: "What do you think? ”

The people of Montenegro knew about Zuo Zhangba and thought that it was impossible for him to do such a thing, so Zhang Niujiao said as a representative: "Good teacher, I'm afraid there is fraud in it." We understand that it is impossible for him to do such an unkind and unjust thing, and there must be another reason for this. ”

Zhang Jiao didn't answer, and said to the herald, "Go, bring me what you have mastered in the past few days, show them, let them know, their good brother!" Zhang Jiao's voice was cold, as if it came from hell, making those who heard it can't help but shiver.

What was presented was a correspondence with Li Xin that was found from Zuo Zhangpachi's home, as well as records of Zuo Zhangpachi's march, testimonies from the prefectures and counties he passed, and confessions from Zuo Zhanghachi's personal soldiers, all of which pointed to Zuo Zhanghachi's collusion with Li Xin, thus seizing the truth. The Montenegrin faction saw that the evidence was ironclad, so they had to stop, but they still didn't believe that Zuo Zhangba would do such a thing. But the matter has come to this point, and the result is irretrievable, so we have to wait for Zhang Jiao's decision, which is exactly the result that Zhang Jiao wants.

Zhang Jiao finally had a feeling that everything was under control at this time, and after a long time, Zhang Jiao finally had the feeling that he had just gotten "Taiping Technique", such a feeling was what he had been pursuing, otherwise he would not rather bear the extremely serious consequences, and also go against Nanhua's warning, because such a feeling of domination makes people fascinated and makes people fall deeper and deeper. That's why so many people are obsessed with power, and they are addicted to it. This is the heart of human beings, which cannot be changed, but some people can suppress it. Now Zhang Jiao is a little crazy, and he can't help but speak in a much more aggravated tone.

"Since this is the case, then please live in Guangzong's courtyard for the time being, there will be someone to take care of it every day, and there is no need to bother leading the army anymore, wait until Li Xin is defeated, and then figure out what happened before discussing this matter."

Zhang Jiao's words are like thorns pierced in the hearts of everyone in Montenegro, although it is common sense that the birds are hidden and the rabbits die and the dogs are cooked, but they have not succeeded in doing so, and the world is one family. In fact, as early as the end of the Qin Dynasty, there were examples of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's failures, and the situation was roughly the same, of course, these Montenegrin people would not understand, but someone would help them understand. This is a matter of no further aside.

After Zhang Jiao took back his military power, he also faced a serious problem, that is, who to send to lead this absorbed army, and suddenly Cheng Zhiyuan's name appeared in Zhang Jiao's heart. Why use Cheng Zhiyuan, a person who doesn't seem to have much ability? First of all, a unit that was incorporated changed the commander by means of conspiracy, and there was a possibility of mutiny when the commander was alive; Secondly, the relationship between the former coach and the current coach is not good, if the relationship between the two terms is too close, then the result is a failure of the integration, and it is even possible to fight back; In the end, the new person must be his confidant, otherwise it will be useless. On the whole, a person who has a deep hatred for the Montenegrin army and draws his sword against him is heartfelt to himself, even if he is not capable, but it is indeed the best choice, so Cheng Yuanzhi was appointed as the deputy commander of Guangzong to command the Montenegrin troops.

After Cheng Yuanzhi received the appointment, he smiled mysteriously, and then began to enter the role, of course, because he commanded the Montenegrin Army, he also visited the old people of the Montenegrin Army a few times after asking Zhang Jiao for handover, but did he really visit a few times?

On this day, Zhang Jiao was discussing the military situation with his subordinates in the hall, and suddenly, someone came to report that Wei County had been lost, and Zhang Jiao was shocked.
