Chapter Ninety-Six: The Secret History of Zhang Jiao's Blood and Tears
Zhang Jiao saw that Liu Zhang agreed to his request, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Liu Gongzi only needs to agree, as for other things, you can watch and handle it." I will let my daughter come to you before I die! You'll have to give me a token, though! β
"Uh..." Liu Zhang felt that Zhang Jiao's words were very strange, but he couldn't say what was wrong, he took out something that looked like a token and threw it to Zhang Jiao and said, "Is there anything else?" If not, I'll go back! β
Zhang Jiao smiled and nodded, Liu Zhang turned around and left, Zhao Yun asked suspiciously, "Big brother, why did you agree?" That horn is the Yellow Turban Thief Chief, and his daughter should also be destroyed, if you let Your Majesty know that you are protecting Zhang Jiao's daughter, will you..."
"Zilong doesn't need to worry, when I kill the Yellow Turban Dao, even if Your Majesty doesn't want to worry, it won't work!" Liu Zhang smiled and said, "The merit is high! β
"This..."Zhao Yun exclaimed: "Big brother, what should I do!" Being jealous of the emperor is not a trivial matter! β
Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Don't worry, even if Your Majesty is jealous of me, he will not do anything to me, after all, I am still a member of the Han family." In the 400 years since the founding of the Han Dynasty, how many clans were killed by the emperor? It's a big deal to be deprived of military rights Yongzhen Jingshi! However, I guess Your Majesty will let me guard a state, and those big families probably think so too! β
"Big brother!" Just when Liu Zhang and Zhao Yun were discussing, Zhang Fei suddenly asked, "Why did you say that Zhang Jiao entrusted his daughter to you?" β
Liu Zhang laughed and said, "Who knows? Maybe it's because Zhang Jiao looks at me so handsome, and his daughter is a gift to anyone, so he just gave it to me, and he can still have a shelter! β
Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei were overwhelmed, they never imagined that Liu Zhang would say such shameless words.
Back in the camp, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun already knew that the person who came was Zhang Jiao, but they didn't say much, everyone knew that Liu Zhang was a relative of the Han family, and he had a good relationship with the emperor and the empress, and he would definitely not be bewitched by Zhang Jiao. Of course, there are also people with ill intentions who want to take the opportunity to make trouble, but now looking for Liu Zhang's matter is purely looking for death.
When Huangfu Song saw Liu Zhang returning to the camp, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Dashuai, what should we do next?" β
"Huh?" Liu Zhang glanced at Huangfu Song and said, "The yellow scarf messes with my big man, what else can I do?" Naturally, he broke through Guangzong and captured the Zhang Jiao brothers! β
Huangfu Song knew that Liu Zhang had misunderstood, and he immediately smiled and said, "I'm not asking this, I'm trying to know when to attack Guangzong!" Dashuai must give me a chance to make meritorious contributions! β
"That's fine!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "General Huangfu don't worry, you still have more opportunities to make meritorious contributions!" Go, gather the generals, and say that I will discuss the countermeasures to clean up the yellow scarf! β
"The last general obeys!" Huangfu Song hugged his fists and left, don't look at him in his forties, but he was convinced by Liu Zhang, a teenage guy.
Soon, the generals gathered in the big tent of the Chinese army. Sitting down according to the priority, Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Generals, three years ago, I went down the mountain and met Zhang Jiao, and just now Zhang Jiao came to me and revealed a news, that is, he will die soon. If Zhang Jiao is allowed to die, our credit will be much smaller. Now let's think about it and see if there is any way to quickly defeat Guangzong! β
Zhu Jun was puzzled: "How does the marshal know that Zhang Jiao's life is not long?" β
"Zhang Jiao said it himself!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Some people can know in advance that they are going to die, Zhang Jiao just knows that he is going to die, so he came to see me, hoping that I will not kill the Yellow Turban Thieves!" β
Huangfu Song sneered and said: "These chaotic ministers and thieves, everyone can be punished!" Since Zhang Jiao is plotting rebellion, he should have the consciousness of rebellion. is so naΓ―ve that he asked the handsome not to kill the Yellow Turban Thief, isn't this a fool's dream? β
"It's not a dream!" Xi Zhicai suddenly interjected: "General Huangfu, that Guangzong City is high and thick, although it has fallen into disrepair, it is still strong. If the Yellow Turban Thieves resist desperately, we may not have a chance of winning. Since Zhang Jiao is about to die, we might as well just punish the evil and not ask about coercion. All the Yellow Turban generals will be wiped out. This can also dissolve the Yellow Turban Thief's hatred of the same enemy! β
Huang Fu Song knew that Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia were Liu Zhang's important masterminds, and even Liu Zhang was very polite to them, and Huang Fu Song didn't want to find trouble for himself. But Huangfu Song felt that it seemed inappropriate to let go of those rebellious ministers and thieves, so he asked: "Marshal, do you want to ask Your Majesty about this matter?" β
"I'll talk about it after the fight!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "I haven't won the battle yet, so I asked for instructions on how to deal with the prisoners, in case I lose, wouldn't it be a shame for me?" β
Huangfu Song was stunned, and Guo Jia suddenly smiled: "Lord, if you want to break the yellow scarf, it's tonight!" β
"Oh?" Liu Zhang asked, "How do you say this?" β
Guo Jia said with a smile: "Today, Zhang Jiao found the lord, and he didn't say what his purpose was, just said that he would be less guarded." We surprise the night attack on the camp outside the city, and we will definitely be able to defeat Zhang Liang! β
"What's the use of defeating Zhang Liang?" Zhu Jun asked: "Guangzong City has Zhang Jiao, even if Zhang Liang is dead, Guangzong will not be able to break it." β
Guo Jia smiled: "This is wrong! If the information of the lord is correct, it won't be long before Guangzong will be self-defeating! β
Liu Zhang immediately understood what Guo Jia meant, and he laughed and said, "What Feng Xiao said is true, then we will take Zhang Liang down first!" Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun obeyed the order, I ordered you to immediately reorganize your troops, go out of the camp at the right time, and launch an attack on Zhang Liang's camp when you are ugly, Sun Jian and Zilong, you go and help the two generals! β
"The last general obeys!" Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Zhao Yun, and Sun Jian responded with fists. Zhang Fei scratched his ears and cheeks like a monkey on the side.
"Yide!" Liu Zhang knew that Zhang Fei couldn't help it, so he opened his mouth and ordered: "When Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun attack the camp, you will follow me to attack Zhang Liang's army." Your mission is to kill the Yellow Turban! β
"The last general obeys!" Zhang Fei took the token and smiled stupidly: "It's still the eldest brother who loves me!" β
Liu Zhang shook his head and said: "Huang Xu, Zhang Ren, the two of you stay in the camp, if there is a yellow turban attack, you can fight by one person, but you are never allowed to pursue more than five miles, so as not to hit the enemy's plan!" β
"Yes!" Huang Xu and Zhang Ren took the token, and Liu Zhang saw that the arrangements were in place, so he asked everyone to go down to rest, after all, there was still a big battle at night.
In Guangzong City, Zhang Jiao called his daughter Zhang Ning when he saw Liu Zhang. Seeing his daughter, Zhang Jiao's heart couldn't help but hurt. To tell the truth, the rebellion is a U-turn business, it stands to reason that Zhang Jiao should not call Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, the two brothers, but Zhang Jiao not only called them, but also called their children, only Zhang Ning Although he was in the Yellow Turban Army, he was not a member of the Yellow Turban Road.
If you want to talk about why Zhang Jiao did this, you have to start with him learning the Tao. Back then, in order to get ahead, Zhang Jiao went out to study, leaving behind his wife, daughter and brothers. In the past ten years, Zhang Jiao's luck was good, and he was accepted as an apprentice by Nanhua Laoxian. One day, Zhang Jiao, who was cultivating at ease, met a fellow villager, and this fellow villager told him a news that shocked and saddened him: Zhang Jiao's wife was favored by a large local family, and Zhang Bao's two brothers tied up their sister-in-law and sent them to the big family for money, and Zhang Jiao's wife was humiliated and hit the wall and died!
Zhang Jiao and his wife are very affectionate, although there is only one daughter, but Zhang Jiao has never disliked her, this situation is quite rare in the ancient society of unfilial piety. At first hearing the bad news, Zhang Jiao immediately wanted to go down the mountain, but he didn't have anything, and he didn't do anything when he went down the mountain, so Zhang Jiao stole Nanhua Laoxian's "Taiping Technique" and went down the mountain. Nanhua Laoxian found out about the theft and directly expelled Zhang Jiao from the court, as for why he didn't take back the "Taiping Technique", Zhang Jiao is unknown.
Back in his hometown, Zhang Jiao found that there was a famine in his hometown. When he arrived home, he saw Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang preparing to cook and eat his daughter, if he was one step late, then Zhang Ning would be completely finished. Speaking from the heart, Zhang Jiao really wanted to chop up these two wolf-hearted brothers at that time, but when he saw the hungry and dying brothers, he really couldn't do it!
In fact, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang are also very helpless, they are just small people, when the local big families want Zhang Jiao's wife, they also want to fight, but fighting means death, they don't want to die. Selfishness is the natural surname of human beings, although Zhang Jiao's wife is Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang's sister-in-law, but women have no status in ancient times, since as long as Zhang Jiao's wife is sent out, the whole family can be saved, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao will naturally not hesitate. Similarly, Zhang Jiao's daughter is also the same. As long as Zhang Ning is killed for meat, it can be guaranteed that Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang's sons will not die. When Zhang Jiao comes back, he will give him a son, which can be regarded as an explanation.
The times are like this, Zhang Jiao has no choice, killing his brother for his wife and daughter is unjustifiable in the Han Dynasty. Liu Bei once said: Wives are like clothes, and brothers are like siblings. This is not Liu Bei's idea alone, but the consensus of most people in the Han Dynasty. Although Zhang Jiao didn't do anything to Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao, his heart was full of resentment towards these two brothers, so even though he knew that the rebellion would not succeed, he pulled the two brothers into the family.
Looking at the lively and lovely daughter in front of him, Zhang Jiao smiled, he was very glad that he went home in time, even if he broke off the fairy relationship, he had no regrets, how could there be parents in the world who did not love their children? Zhang Jiao stretched out his hand and touched Zhang Ning's head, he was very reluctant, he took out a book and Liu Zhang's token from his arms and handed it to Zhang Ning: "Ning'er, after the city of Guangzong is broken, you go to the champion Hou Liu Zhang, he will take care of you!" β
"What?" Zhang Ning saw his father touching his head in a daze, lying on Zhang Jiao's lap very well-behaved, but when he heard Zhang Jiao's words, Zhang Ning was shocked: "With my father here, this Guangzong City is as solid as gold, how can it be broken?" β
Zhang Jiao smiled bitterly: "Ning'er, it won't be long before you die for your father!" And your two wolf-hearted uncles will also follow in my footsteps, rather than letting you hide in the province and worry about your surname, it is better to find someone to take care of you. I look at the sky statue at night, this Liu Zhang has the air of an emperor, and even has the ability to change his life against the sky, if you are by his side, you will be able to keep your surname. β
