Thirty-eighth

The old things of the past have become prophecies, and the end of the road is a word of advice

Zhang Jiao led the remnants of the defeated army and escaped from Guangzong, ten miles had passed in a blink of an eye, and seeing that there were only more than 100 people left around him, as well as Cheng Yuanzhi, he said to Cheng Yuanzhi in a calm tone: "In this situation, the only thing I want to know is who are you?" Is it a family from the North? Or Li Xin? ”

Faced with Zhang Jiao's sudden question, Cheng Yuanzhi didn't react at once, and hurriedly said: "Good teacher, I am loyal to you, how can you doubt me like this." ”

Zhang Jiao smiled slightly, "If you don't defend it, I will believe it, and now I am even more convinced that you are an inner ghost, let me, a dying person, be a ghost." ”

"This ......" Cheng Yuanzhi pondered for a long time, sighed and said, "Okay, I am."

The shadow son of the 'Heavenly Dao'. ”

"So that so-called Zhanghachi is also your person?" Zhang Jiao said slightly teasingly.

"Yes, a good teacher is like a god." Cheng Yuanzhi smiled bitterly. The amount of people who are revealed the most secret things, there will be no good reaction.

"I should have known, but I pity the Yellow Turbans. It's my incompetence! ”

Cheng Yuanzhi was shocked by Zhang Jiao's reaction, Zhang Jiao was not the slightest surprised by Cheng Yuanzhi's words, but took it for granted. "Why?" Cheng Yuanzhi was full of questions, why Zhang Jiao was so calm.

"Why? That's a good question! Do you really think that I, a good teacher, can have such power? Can I start such a big uprising with my own power? You are so naïve! I really don't know if Li Xin didn't tell you, or if you forgot? Although he was "protected" by the people of Heaven, Zhang Jiao did not have a trace of fear.

"It's those families, right?" Cheng Yuanzhi asked.

"Yes and no. Not only those families, but even the young master of your family is actually one of the driving forces behind it. And in terms of time, he is still the earliest! Zhang Jiao said angrily.

Cheng Yuanzhi was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect things to be so complicated at all. Zhang Jiao sighed and said, "Hey, I knew why I had to do it today!" If I had listened to Yicheng's words earlier, maybe it would have been a different situation, Li Yicheng, Li Yicheng didn't expect that the warning back then would really be a prophecy. Regret should not be carried away by power and be a borrowed blade. ”

Let's turn the clock back to the time when Li Xin traveled. Li Xin, who traveled to China, met Zhang Jiao who was preparing to preach in a temple.

Hearing the people around him calling Zhang Jiao, Li Xin knew who the person in front of him was, so he recited: "Being in the rivers and lakes with a deer in his heart, and the mountains and rivers are screaming, if he has Ling Yunzhi, dare to laugh at Chen Sheng's husband!" ”

Li Xin chanted, and the more Zhang Jiao listened, the more frightened he became. Zhang Jiao was originally a scribe, so he could naturally understand the meaning of this poem, which completely stated his newly hatched ambition to chase the Central Plains. So he quibbled and said: "This brother, you and I don't know each other, what do you mean by this?" ”

Li Xin laughed, "What a 'never met'! You don't know me, I know you! Great sage and good teacher, Zhang Jiao, you are so pompous! ”

Seeing that Li Xin was alone, and he dared to speak outright about his obscurity, Zhang Jiao felt that this son was not a thing in the pool, so he said: "Since you know, then you are not afraid of my ......" Zhang Jiao left half of his words, but the meaning was already obvious.

"In the past, there was a banquet attended by Gaozu Hongmen, and today's situation is very different from that day. Sir is not an overlord, and I am not a ancestor. It's just that the heroes meet, so they have the heart to make friends and talk. ”

"But I heard that Mr. had classified me as a rebel bandit in what he said just now, aren't you afraid that I will turn my face and deny people?" Zhang Jiao really couldn't figure out Li Xin's bottom.

"Haha, if Mr. is a bandit, wouldn't the corrupt officials and corrupt officials in the whole world, as well as the eunuch relatives who are in trouble with the government and government, all become ghosts." Li Xin's words made Zhang Jiao feel like a confidant.

Zhang Jiao's original intention to establish Taiping Dao was to help the poor Li people, and at the same time to look forward to the arrival of the Son of Destiny, but seeing that the number of believers was increasing day by day, reaching more than 200,000, all over the thirteen states, coupled with the encouragement of the friends around him, he waited for the Maven for a long time, and Zhang Jiao's ambition also swelled sharply, and he began to have the idea of winning the world.

The poem that Li Xin read casually is a reflection of Zhang Jiao's ambition. "Sir, isn't he also from my Taiping Dao?" Zhang Jiao asked expectantly.

"This is not it, but seeing that the eunuchs are rampant in today's temples, the harsh government in the four realms is complicated, and the life of the people of Li is miserable. As for Zhang Xianshi's intention to compete in the world, so what's the matter, there is no virtue in the sky, and the virtuous should be taken. There is just one section that I hope Mr. will keep in mind. ”

"I will, thank you in advance."

"First, most of the people in the sect are civilians, and although they can follow him for a while because of difficulties in life, if they have achievements in the future, they will continue to be in trouble, and they should be dealt with as soon as possible; Second, if the husband does not have the support of the family, it may be difficult to achieve great things, but if he is too dependent, the family will eventually become a big trouble, and he should be prevented as soon as possible; Third, when Mr. raises the banner of righteousness, he should focus on the common people in the world, and do not forget his righteousness. If there is a day, the letter will end your dreams with your own hands! After speaking, he walked out of the door, and a sentence floated from afar, "It's good to do it yourself." ”

After that day, at first, Zhang Jiao still followed Li Xin's words, but later, as the support of the family grew, Zhang Jiao found that he could no longer get out of the control of the family. At the beginning, Zhang Jiao's funding was free of charge, but later when Zhang Jiao began to rely on the family's funding, everything changed dramatically, and the family began to put forward conditions one by one, from the beginning of sending his cronies to the Taiping Sect as Qu Shuai, to the later use of the Yellow Turban Army to slaughter his opponents, Zhang Jiao was deeply trapped in it and could not extricate himself. Later, it was Li Xin who attacked Jizhou.

After hearing all this, Cheng Yuanzhi was surprised, he never expected things to be like this. Zhang Jiao continued: "Since the matter has come to this, I have nothing more to say, and I am grateful for Li Xin's advice back then, although in the end I still cannot escape failure." "The bird is dying and its song is mourning, and the man is dying and his words are good," I hope to tell Li Xin what I said below, which can be regarded as my last contribution to the world. The 'Black Mountain Army' is the Yuan family's troops, and there are Yuan family's men and horses in it, so they must be prepared as soon as possible. Some of the 'Bai Bo Army' are people from the Han Court, and they can't be completely trusted. In this way, I have a package here, and you give it to Li Xin, which can be regarded as my return gift for what happened back then. Okay, if you want to kill or chop, please. Zhang Jiao made all the preparations and closed his eyes to death.

Cheng Yuanzhi said to Zhang Jiao: "We will definitely bring your words and things." All that's left is to head to East County together. ”

"What? You won't kill me? ”

"Yes. Let's go together, and as for why, you'll know later. ”

"Okay, let me use this stump to make the last contribution to the common people."
