Zhang Jiao's words brought Zhang Bao a shock, no less than the shock when he first knew about the crossing. Zhang Bao, who had been pondering for a long time, stared at Zhang Jiao with his eyes tight: "Big brother, can you succeed?" ”

"Second brother, look at the results of our hard work over the years." Zhang Jiao said, taking out a piece of cloth from his cuffs, and the picture drawn on the cloth surprised Zhang Bao again.

The most striking thing in the picture is a city sign, written on Luoyang, with several arrows drawn around Luoyang. To the south of Luoyang is Zhang Mancheng, where Wancheng is located, Peng Tuo in Runan, Ma/Yuan/Yi in Yangzhou in Jingzhou, and Bocai in Yingchuan, Yuzhou, plus Bu Ji in Yanzhou in the east, and the arrow in the north direction points directly to the base camp where he is, plus the internal response in Luoyang City.

Hey, I'll go, the whole Luoyang is surrounded, okay? When the time comes, the troops from all directions will besiege Luoyang, and in addition to the internal response, the surrounding officers and troops will not have time to react, and Luoyang will be taken in one fell swoop. This layout, if nothing else, is absolutely fine. Could it be that this is all their previous deployment?

"Big brother, these deployments are all ......," Zhang Bao asked in surprise.

"Yes, it's all your work, it's all yours. After I read it back then, I was just like you, but I didn't expect you to be shocked now. Zhang Jiao replied with a smile.

"Second brother, just now you asked me if I could succeed. Now I'm telling you, as long as we take Luoyang first and take down the emperor, everything will be successful. Thinking that the multi-year plan was about to be realized, even Zhang Jiao couldn't help but get excited.

But Zhang Bao is very calm, even if he captures Luoyang and takes down the emperor, what can he do? Zhang Bao, who is familiar with history, knows that if it is then, it will definitely rise together. Heroes from all walks of life will step on themselves and wait for others to take the position.

At that time, the Yellow Turban Army will be like a little monster who trains these heroes. The three brothers are considered bosses, but they will be killed soon.

This is the case of a successful uprising, and if it doesn't work, it's not even a boss, at most it's an elite mob with a name. No, the situation must be reversed, it must be successful, and it is not a boss who should not give experience.

Zhang Bao always felt that he had forgotten something. What are the reasons for the failure of the uprising in history? Traitor, right, traitor, Tang Zhou.

Zhang Bao shook his head vigorously and threw out the mess in his head. "Big brother, who should we contact inside?"

"Second brother, when will your soul loss be cured? You forgot who the person who contacted the inner response was, it was Ma/Yuan/Yi. Now I'm a little worried about your status. Zhang Jiao said worriedly.

Zhang Bao smiled slightly: "Big brother is fine, there may be some small details that I can't remember clearly." By the way, what did Tang Zhou do? ”

"Tang Zhou? My eldest disciple, what's wrong? Now active in Luoyang. ”

"Big brother, I'm a little worried."

Zhang Jiao chuckled in his heart: "What does the second brother mean?" This Tang Zhou was the first disciple I received after I went down the mountain, when he was dying of hunger, I saved him, so he worshipped me as a teacher, he shouldn't be ......"

Zhang Bao thought about it, although the historical record is that Tang Zhou's whistleblowing led to the failure of the uprising, but he has no definite evidence, so he can't say that I know history. That's not all exposed.

"Oh, that's not what it meant. I'm going to take a look inside Luoyang City. Although the eldest brother is in charge of the overall situation, he has not seen it with his own eyes after all. Knowing people, knowing faces, but not hearts. I think it's better for me to go. ”

Zhang Liang, who had not squeaked for a long time, hurriedly said: "Big brother, I'll go too, I'll protect the second brother on the way." ”

"Nonsense, your second brother went to Luoyang to do business, what are you doing with it? Do you protect? When you go to Luoyang, I don't know what you want to do? If you drink some wine, won't every door keeper be finished? You can't go. Zhang Jiao angrily scolded this younger brother. Zhang Jiao doesn't have a headache for Zhang Liang, everything is good, it's good wine, and if you drink too much, you will make a mistake.

"If you don't go, you won't go, what's the big deal." Zhang Liang on the side whispered a broken thought.

Looking at a tall and mighty man, whispering broken thoughts on the side, Zhang Jiao was speechless for a while,

"Third brother, when the second brother comes back, he will definitely bring you a pot of Du Kang." Zhang Bao couldn't stand it either, and hurriedly promised. This Du Kang wine was a top wine in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, but due to the low production, it was generally not bought, and most of it was supplied in Luoyang.

Hearing Zhang Bao's promise to bring wine back, Zhang Liang put away the strength of his broken thoughts.

"Second brother, who are you going to take with you when you go to Luoyang? Huanglong boy has to follow you, that kid's martial arts are still good, He Yi You can take it, this guy is good at making steel forks, Liao Hua is also good, Pei Yuanshao is also good, these people are good at martial arts, and the second brother is with him. For the rest, you bring more. Zhang Jiao asked Zhang Bao while saying a few names.

Zhang Bao's eyes were dizzy, who are these people? In my impression, except for that Liao Hua, there is no fame. It must be a big road goods, or don't bring it, if something happens, it is estimated that it is useless.

"Big brother, I don't have to bring so many people, this time it's ostensibly a pretense for playing, and bringing too many people will get in the way. I don't know Guan Hai, Zhou Cang, the two of them are available? Zhang Bao expressed his opinion.

Zhang Liang's eyes lit up and said: "Second brother, your martial arts are worse than mine, your eyes are quite poisonous, these two people's martial arts are really good." Martial arts are only below me, but Guan Hai is now in Qingzhou, and Liao Hua and Zhou Cang are here. ”

"In Qingzhou? That will take some time. Zhang Bao said with a frown. Qingzhou is not close to Julu, and the distance to Luoyang is too wasteful.

"Don't wait, just take Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, and Huanglong with you. Pei Yuanshao can also bring it. But the eldest brother turned around and transferred Guan Hai, I have a lot of use. ”

Just kidding, the whole force is aimed at Luoyang, what is Guan Hai doing when such a fierce general is thrown in that war-free place in Qingzhou.

Zhang Bao, who finished packing the next day, took his subordinates and set foot on the journey to Luoyang.

Out of Julu County, Zhang Bao obviously felt different. In the giant deer, you can see farmers cultivating the fields everywhere, the roads are neatly planned, and the population is vigorous.

And out of the county, it's like the end of the world. The surrounding fields were overgrown with weeds and dusty roads. From time to time, I met a few skinny peasants, dressed in tattered patches, messy hair, all of which showed how hard life was.

Pedestrians can be seen not far from the giant deer, and gradually there are fewer pedestrians, and the sky is slowly turning dark. Seeing that Zhang Bao had no intention of stopping, the three of Huanglong rode forward and said, "Master...... Childe, it's getting late, let's find a nearby place to spend the night, and if you go further, there will be a valley, and you can't go forward,"

Before going out, Zhang Bao held a cautious attitude and asked the three of them to call themselves sons, and they must not reveal any relationship with Taiping Dao. This is Zhang Bao's desire to look at the attitude of people towards Taiping Dao from an objective point of view.

"Oh, okay, there's a dilapidated Taoist temple in front, let's rest in front."

"No."

The four of them galloped to the front to break the temple, and it was really a broken temple, a little too broken. A lonely Taoist temple, surrounded by mottled walls, shows the erosion of time.

Zhou Cang stepped forward to open the door, but he didn't know if Zhou Cang's strength was too strong, or the door was too rotten. "Bang." The door was pushed to the ground, and the dust raised choked everyone to cough, and Zhou Cang was embarrassed to touch his head with his big head.

Walking into the ruined temple, it was pitch black, perhaps frightened by the sound, and the sound of many unknown small animals in the temple swishing away.

Torches were raised, and the temple was enshrined with statues of the gods of Sanqing. It's been a long time since anyone came to make offerings, and the thick dust on the offering table, and the food on the offering plate had long since been eaten by unknown animals, and it was empty.

The three of them swept out a clean place, lit a bonfire, and prepared to cook some dry food to fill their stomachs.

Everyone was resting and recovering after eating. The fire inside the temple emitted heat, horses were tied to the temple gate, and the wind outside made a "whining" sound.

With the sound of the wind, except for Pei Yuanshao, who was on guard, the rest of the people fell asleep.
