Chapter 011: The Death of Zhang Jiao

No matter what, history will not change, Zhang Jiao's premature death and the rapid collapse of the Yellow Turban Uprising have become historical facts, but these do not prevent me from making a bold conjecture, what happened before Zhang Jiao died of illness?

Let's turn the clock back to the eve of the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Uprising. We know that Zhang Jiao, as the leader of the Taiping Dao, not only had to manage the Taiping Dao believers, but also secretly plotted an uprising to overthrow the Han Dynasty. In the past ten years, he has saved people with medicine, preached with the "Taiping Sutra", and also accepted many disciples, single-handedly founded the Taiping Dao, and finally decided to replace the Han with Huang Tian. It is conceivable that Zhang Jiao's usual workload is very large, and the work intensity is not low, and for more than ten years, although his medical skills are good, his body has already had a heavy burden. At this time, if there is an introduction, it will be disastrous for his body.

But it's a pity that God didn't miss Zhang Jiao.

In January of the first year of Zhongping (184), the great uprising planned by Zhang Jiao was close at hand, in the uprising plan, Jizhou and Luoyang were particularly important, Jizhou was the base camp of the uprising, the importance of Jizhou needless to say, and Luoyang City, the capital of the Han Dynasty, where the emperor was located, if it could be won in one fell swoop, the uprising could be said to be more than half successful.

In order to ensure the success of the Luoyang Uprising, Zhang Jiao transferred Ma Yuanyi, the generous commander of Jingzhou and Yangzhou, to Luoyang to do the preparatory work before the uprising, and was responsible for the internal contact with the court. On the basis of his predecessors, Ma Yuanyi successfully bought Zhongchang Shi Feng Zhen, Xu Feng and others as internal responses, and also developed some forbidden troops into believers. However, this time, Tang Zhou did not return, and directly reported Zhang Jiao to the imperial court, revealing the plan for a great uprising, resulting in the killing of Ma Yuanyi and many internal deservants, and the Taiping Road in Luoyang was almost cleaned. Not only was the Luoyang Uprising plan aborted, but the entire Taiping Dao suffered an unprecedented blow, and the Great Uprising was broken ahead of schedule.

Can you imagine how hard Zhang Jiao would be when he heard the news? After putting so much effort and so much manpower and material resources, it seemed that the plan was about to succeed, and it was just one step away, and suddenly he fell from heaven to hell.

The moment Zhang Jiao knew the news, he couldn't bear it anymore.

Zhang Jiao's body collapsed.

The fate of Zhang Jiao and the fate of the Yellow Turban Army have also been cruelly decided.

【The Mind of the Horns】

Ma Yuanyi died, Tang Zhou rebelled, the Luoyang Uprising had completely failed, and now the Taiping Daoists were wanted all over the country, and he had been ordered to be arrested by the imperial court, and the whole plan was in vain, and his life's dream became unattainable from within reach. If I hadn't sent Tang Zhou out at the beginning, if I had sent someone else, if I had already seen Tang Zhou's character, what if I had ......

I want to stand up, I can't die yet, there are still so many disciples looking at me, there are still so many generals waiting for me, my dream has not been realized, I have not reached a desperate situation, I can still stand up, the great uprising will not fail, I will not let the great uprising fail, I must revolt immediately, I can't wait any longer, I can't wait until the Jiazi Day (184.3.15), spread the news, tell the Qu Shuai to ask them to revolt immediately, we still have hope, we still have a chance to win!

Zhang Jiao urgently recruited his two younger brothers, and ordered that he could not leave his side, and at the same time demanded that all news about his condition be blocked and that he immediately revolt. Zhang Jiao proclaimed himself the general of Tiangong on the same day, and he wanted to tell everyone in the world that even if the Luoyang uprising failed, as long as he Zhang Jiao was still there, Taiping Dao would not fail, "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the year is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious" This will not be just a slogan.

The Yellow Turban Uprising broke out, and the twenty-eight counties of seven states responded one after another, and the Taiping Road has not yet failed, and we still have hope.

Soon, Lu Zhi and the sect members led the five colonels of the Northern Army to Zhang Jiao.

I'm really tired, I really want to sleep for a while, the regular army of the Han Dynasty is really strong! After several big battles, we didn't have the upper hand at all, how many days has it been? A month or two months, we have more than 10,000 brothers gone, is that person Lu Zhi? What an abomination! If there is no problem with my body, even if the Han army is well-armored and well-trained, under the yellow sky, how can I be bullied by you to such an extent. Forget it, that's it, my body can't support the field battle anymore, it's a pity that Brother Liang and Brother Bao are working so hard, I can't let them work so hard anymore. Let's go, let's go to Guangzong, it will be much easier to defend the city.

Hahahahaha What a deserving Emperor! The eunuchs believed whatever they said, and Lu Zhitang, a great hero of the Han family, was actually locked up in a prison car a few days later because he didn't bribe your lackeys. Well, that's great! Wonderful, wonderful! If I hadn't sent Tang Zhou out at that time, those eunuchs would have opened the palace gate for me now! I wonder if they're exposed? Forget it, even if it wasn't exposed, those dogs were probably scared out of their guts and couldn't be counted on. Why don't you take the sect members away together, so that I can annihilate the Han army outside the city in one fell swoop, forget it, I don't have the energy anymore.

You can feel it! I can often see Ma Yuanyi these days, he died so miserably, really miserable, I hurt him, if I hadn't sent Tang Zhou's traitor out, what if......

Is my time running out? In vain, Brother Bao and Brother Liang worked so hard to help me continue my life. Is the next person Dong Zhuo? I had to hit him, while I was alive, while I still had time.

Dong Zhuo escaped, but unfortunately I was unable to pursue, at least the Han army retreated, and I could take a breath for a while. But why do I feel so light? The body is fluttering, you are here again, are you here to pick me up? Ma Yuanyi.

What are Brother Bao and Brother Liang doing? Are they crying? Why don't you cry out loud? Is it because you're afraid of disturbing me? I'm so sorry for them! In vain they have worked so hard, followed me for so many years, for the great cause, for the dream of the Yellow Sky, our three brothers have never married, if you want to come to Jiuquan, the ancestors will not let us go! I'm really sorry for my two stupid brothers! I'm sorry everyone! It's all my fault, so many people will die in Taiping Dao, in fact, I deserve to die the most! Right! Ma Yiyuan brothers.

Cut, can't you say it anymore? Huang Tian is above, bless Taiping, Brother Bao, Brother Liang, brothers and sisters of Taiping Dao, you must live well.

Farewell......
