vs 67 Be willing to endure hardships in the midst of hardships
Zhang Qiang had a smile on his face, but his heart was filled with bitterness.
He really didn't want to go to Yanzhou and fight hard with the main force of the Han army.
However, in this matter, he said that it does not count.
Who is Guanhai? Zhang Jiao, the "Great Sage and Good Teacher", has been praised as the "No. 1 Master of Taiping Dao" for many years, and is a prestigious existence in the Yellow Turban Army and even in the whole world. Moreover, as one of the eight disciples under Zhang Jiaozuo, he has a very high reputation, and his status in the Taiping Dao is by no means insolent.
Not to mention, Guan Hai has taught countless disciples in his life, and even Zhang Qi himself and Zhou Cang have to call him a master. If Zhang Mad disagrees, I am afraid that Guan Hai will open his mouth and shout, and the soldiers under Zhang Mad will simply abandon Zhang Mad as a Qu Shuai and follow Guan Hai Shuai instead, embark on the road to the west, and take the initiative to find trouble with the Han army.
None of this is nothing. Anyway, as long as Dian Wei, Zang Ba, and Yu Ban are still by his side, Zhang Qi actually doesn't care too much about the two thousand ordinary soldiers.
However, if such a thing really happens, Zhang Qiang will be regarded by the people around him as a villain who does not obey orders, disrespects teachers, betrays the Order, and acts arbitrarily.
This is the biggest blow to arrogance.
Reputation in the world. And a good reputation comes first and foremost from good morals. Not to mention anything else, just looking at the government, when convening talents, they are all based on "filial piety and honesty", which can be seen.
If the reputation of the arrogant is bad, not only will he not want to gather other talents in the future, but even these people who are already following him may not continue to follow. In this way, unless you are arrogant and find a place in the future, change your name and surname, and make a living. Otherwise, there is basically no chance of survival and development.
Let's just give you a good example.
Tang Zhou, who was the first to report the Taiping Dao uprising, was also one of the eight disciples of Zhang Jiaozuo, and was in charge of the Taiping Taoist sect of the "Xun" department.
However, when he became a traitor and betrayed the secrets of the "Taiping Dao" uprising, he immediately became the most hated traitor of Taiping Dao. All Taiping Dao believers hate this person more than any Han official.
And the officials of the Han court also despised him extremely because of Tang Zhou's behavior. Even Tang Zhou, as a major contributor to the suppression of the Yellow Turban uprising, did not give him any benefits.
According to what he has seen and heard in his two lives, such a super-capable talent has disappeared into the long river of history silently. Neither the present nor the future generations have ever heard of any follow-up news from this person.
Zhang Qiang naturally didn't want to be Tang Zhou's second. Moreover, after learning the news of Guan Hai's imminent arrival, Zhang Mad suddenly discovered a huge weakness of himself in the process of thinking about it repeatedly. That's ......
- Lack of fame!
In the future planning, Zhang Qian wants to inherit the reputation of Zhang Jiao, the "great sage and good teacher", and use it to command the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army and the Xuzhou Yellow Turban Army to rise again a few years later.
However, with the little fame that Zhang Qi is currently in the vicinity of Mount Tai, can he suppress the leaders of the Yellow Turban Army who have tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, in a few years?
And, more importantly, when it comes to recruiting talent, who doesn't have enough fame, who will go to a nobody who God knows who?
Don't look at the fact that the Tianping Army now has historical generals such as Zhou Cang, Dian Wei, Yu Ban, Le Jin, Zang Ba, etc., it seems to be full of talents. However, looking back carefully, these famous historical generals were all coincidental, coupled with the sincere temptation of Zhang Arrogant and exhausted, and some of them even resorted to extraordinary means before they were willing to become a member of the Tianping Army.
However, until now, the people who have taken the initiative to defect are basically poor and homeless. After a few months, Zhang Qiang has not yet found any decent talents among the active defectors.
In today's troubled times, as a member of the Yellow Turban Army, if you want to be famous, there seems to be no other choice than to fight with the enemy.
As long as the troops in the headquarters are not large, even if the name is bigger, it must not be treated as a thorn in the side of the Han family, right?
If it really doesn't work, when the time comes, take the Tianping Army to hide on any mountain, and I think Huangfu Song won't have so much leisure to search for a "remnant army" hiding in the deep mountains, right?
Having said that, after thinking about it repeatedly, Zhang Qiang found that along the way, there were also risks and opportunities. Therefore, he decided to take a risk and see if he could recruit a few more famous generals of the Three Kingdoms along the way.
Wealth and danger are sought!
This decision was made, and Zhang Qiang felt relieved. When he conveyed the news of the upcoming troops, the officers and soldiers of the Tianping Army also thundered one by one.
This more than a month of idleness has made these arrogant subordinates, who are either ambitious or loyal to the Taiping Dao, extremely uncomfortable. If you just stay in the mountainous and dangerous place of Mount Tai and sit and watch the success or failure of the outside world, you will inevitably be too sorry for the hearts of the soldiers who demand to be motivated.
The first priority in the army should be grain and grass.
13,000 grains, 130 sheep, and 40 pigs. This is the grain and grass that Zhang Mad gave to the Yellow Turban Army of the Guanhai Department after counting his own materials. Tianping Jun is so generous, so that Guan Haijun is not only envious, but also extremely grateful.
You must know that for the Yellow Turban Army, it has never been that there is no one and no weapons, but that there is not enough military rations. As long as there is food in hand, in order to mix a round belly, there are definitely many homeless people who are willing to join the Yellow Turban Army. After accepting Zhang Qijun's generous donation, Guan Haijun was embarrassed to fight the idea of the remaining materials of the Tianping Army.
Of course, at this point, the idea of co-opting the arrogant department was also decisively abandoned by Guan Hai. As long as Zhang Qi followed the instructions of the "Great Sage and Good Teacher" and raised troops to rescue "Bu Jishuai", Guan Hai had neither the name nor the strength to annex the Zhang Qi Department.
For such a generous donation, there are many people in the Tianping Army who are extremely distressed.
However, after considering the drag on the speed of the Tianping Army's march by transporting these supplies, Zhang Qiang still decisively left only two months' military rations. With the arrogant order, the support of Master Tai and Yu Ban and others, Zang Ba, Zhou Cang and others had no choice but to withdraw their opinions.
Rao is like this, the number of vehicles in the ranks of the Tianping Army, and the abundance of baggage, also make the Yellow Turban sergeants of the Guanhai Department envious. After the two sides joined forces, within a few days of walking on the road, Guan Haijun spread such a ballad:
"The front army wears shoes, and the rear army is barefoot. The front army wears armor, and the rear army has few uniforms. The front army eats meat, and the rear army eats grass. ”
The former army is the Tianping Army. Since Zhang Qi wants to be active, he simply wants to be positive to the end. He volunteered to serve as the front army on the grounds that he was brave and brave. This kind of fearless and positive spirit of revolutionism naturally won the admiration of the top and bottom of the Guanhai army.
Unexpectedly, in his arrogant heart, he just wanted to take the opportunity to train soldiers and sharpen a few but fine strong soldiers. As long as this goal can be achieved, Zhang Qiang does not mind, and the number of the Tianping Army has lost half of the current base.
His eyes are still staring at the death of the Han Emperor and the warlord melee that will happen in a few years.
But will this future happen in four years or five years?
Zhang Yan couldn't remember exactly.
After all, he was just a "real gamer" and a "pseudo-history buff" in later life.
In this way, an army of more than 14,000 people and basically composed of strong men marched on the official road of Yanzhou.

Zhang Huan held his hand on the handle of the ring head knife and sat on an ox cart. Like him, there were as many as three hundred people who endured the bumps caused by the absence of shock absorbers and sat quietly on ox carts.
Of these 300 people, some of them were Zhang Huan's subordinates, and some were elite soldiers sent by Guan Haishuai. In addition to their outstanding martial arts, they also have a common characteristic, that is, they are fast running speed and have strong endurance.
They were personally selected by Guan Hai, the commander of the Yellow Turban Army, to be used as an elite unit for a quick counterattack. The target is those local strong private soldiers who don't know whether they are alive or dead.
Originally, due to the large number of personnel and well-equipped (relative) of the Guanhai Army, the local heroes and powerful people in the places where they passed were worried about the two forces.
An army of this size and equipment is not something that can be fought against by small and medium-sized heroes who only have a few hundred warriors.
However, from the speed of the advance of this army, many people of insight saw the strangeness and put their minds at ease.
Forty miles a day is the highest marching speed that can be maintained with Guan Hai's ability to command the army. If he speeded up further, Guan Hai would not be able to guarantee how many troops he would be able to control when he arrived near Dongjun to join Bu Ji's army.
After all, in the Taiping Dao, Guan Hai is known for his military force, and he is not very good at commanding large armies. The strongest people in the Yellow Turban Army were "Bo Cai Shuai", "Marshal Ma Yi", "Zhang Man Cheng Shuai", "Bu Ji Shuai" and the traitor Tang Zhou. Being able to manage more than 10,000 people under his command is close to the limit of the army under his command.
In order to maintain such a marching speed and converge with the "Bu Jishuai" army as soon as possible, the Guan Hai army did not take the initiative to attack the dock forts along the way, and also avoided the officers and soldiers in the county town as much as possible.
However, what Guan Hai didn't expect was that such a show of weakness did not reduce his own troubles. On the contrary, it made the officers and soldiers and heroes in the areas passing through active. Since leaving Taishan County and entering the country of Jibei, the attacks of local armed forces on the army have suddenly become much more frequent.
In this regard, Guan Hai is also quite irritable.
