vs 56 A Legacy of the Teachings
For Zhang Qi, the days in the Yellow Turban Army camp were very fruitful in the real sense. Although the position of Zhang Jiao's heir who wanted and didn't want it didn't fall on Zhang Jiao's body in the end. But this disappointment could not affect the mood of insolence and joy at all.
After accepting the reward of arrogance and generosity, the Tianping Army, with high morale, once again embarked on a vast journey. It's just that this time, the target of the two thousand soldiers is the base camp that has been operated by Taiping Dao for a long time - Julu City!
In addition to the officers and men of the Tianping Army, there was also a team of about 1,000 wounded soldiers who followed the actions of the Tianping Army.
After all, if such an extremely elite and strong army as the Tianping Army were transferred to the rear in such an unexplained manner, it would inevitably cause discussion among other Yellow Turban troops in the camp. However, if Zhang Yan, the righteous son of the "Great Sage and Good Teacher" Zhang Jiao, is also on the escort list of the Tianping Army, he can barely explain it.
In the battle a few days ago, Zhang Yan fought with Gongsun Zhan, the hero of the Northland, the "White Horse Long History", and returned with a big defeat and serious injuries. It is said that the bones of this Yellow Turban rider were broken, and his internal organs were injured, and he rested on ordinary people, and most of them could not be saved.
However, the treatment of Taiping Dao is truly extraordinary. has a sacrificial alcohol heart treatment that is good at trauma, and Zhang Yan himself has a strong physique, when Zhang Yan saw this person, Zhang Yan's actions no longer needed the help of others.
Of course, with the injuries suffered by Zhang Yan, she could not return to the battlefield without three or four months of recuperation. Under such an excuse, Zhang Jiao arranged for Zhang Yan to return to Julu City, the base camp of Taiping Dao in Jizhou, which was a logical thing.
Although he is the righteous son of a "great virtuous teacher", in front of arrogance, Zhang Yan behaved extremely politely. Although the two only knew each other before and had no deep friendship, on the way to Julu City, Zhang Qi and Zhang Yan were already called brothers to each other.
At the beginning of September, Zhang Mad led the Tianping Army and arrived at Julu City. 1
Julu City has a very long history, which can be traced back to the "Yao Shun Yu" period thousands of years ago, and Tang Yao's Zen position Yu Shun is here. At the same time, Julu is also a place where soldiers of all dynasties must fight, the famous Chu and Han "Julu Battle", the dispute between Wang Mang and Liu Xiu at the end of the Western Han Dynasty all took place here. Now that the Yellow Turban Army is revolting, the two sides will have to fight in Julu in the future.
As long as he thought of this possibility, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart. Although he is a time-traveler from the next generation, this body is a descendant of the Julu Zhang family. Whenever Zhang Qiang thought that most of his relatives and clansmen in this life would not be able to escape the catastrophe in the future, he had an urge to turn around and return to Guangzong and fight the Han army to the end.
Fortunately, after two lifetimes of human arrogance, he was able to suppress this extremely reckless and senseless impulse. Before he does not have enough strength, he can only adapt to the general trend of history, but cannot reverse it. The mantis arm blocks the car, and the arrogance is disdainful to do it.
Just when Zhang Mad entered Julu City, visited his former relatives and friends, paid tribute to his ancestors, and actively collected materials and craftsmen that could be obtained to prepare for the next step, news came from the front line that the vanguard of Huangfu Song's army had entered the camp of the remnants of the Han army in Jizhou.
Three days later, Huangfu Song led the main Han army and arrived in Guangzong. Dong Zhuo, who suffered a big defeat, handed over the military talisman on the day of Huangfu Song's arrival, led his subordinates to Liangzhou Iron Cavalry, and returned to Luoyang to wait for the crime.
However, the actions of the Han army could no longer arouse the interest of insolence.
knew the end of the Yellow Turban Army, although he felt very regretful, he still silently accepted the ending given by history. His gaze has turned to a few years later, when the Han Emperor died and Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, leading to the era when the heroes rose together.
- Three Kingdoms!
- Ah, Three Kingdoms!
- With me, will there be three kingdoms?

After staying in Julu City for five days, the Tianping Army once again embarked on a new journey. The next target set by Zhang Qiang is Changshan Country.
The Changshan Kingdom, which was originally supposed to be called Hengshan County, was set up by Qin Shi Huang after the capture of the Zhao State. Later, in order to avoid the "Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty" Liu Heng, it was renamed Changshan County, and the governance was located in Yuanshi County. Located on the western edge of the Jizhou Plain, it includes part of the Taihang Mountains, and is one of the counties with a small population and a large number of thieves in Jizhou.
Since the founding of the Western Han Dynasty, Changshan has been constantly changing between "county" and "country". In history, Zhang Er, Liu Budo, Liu Shun, Liu Yu and others have served as the king of Changshan, but they have not lasted long.
Until the second year of Yongyuan [90 AD], Liu Fang, the young son of Liu Yu, who was the "King of Huaiyang" when the "Emperor of Han and Emperor" Liu Zhaofeng, was the "King of Changshan", and since then, Changshan County has been called Changshan Country.
Changshan Country borders Julu County, and the power of Taiping Dao is also extremely large. However, due to the "Great Virtuous and Good Teacher" Zhang Jiao gathering the army of the sect in Julu County, almost all the strong Yellow Turban Army of Changshan Country gathered in Julu County.
In this way, the Yellow Turban Army does not have much presence in Changshan Country. Taking advantage of this favorable environment, the powerful clans of Changshan Country hurriedly armed themselves and established countless dock forts to protect their lives and property.
Of course, the frightened powerful clans, intimidated by the prestige of the Yellow Turban Army, did not dare to take the initiative to find trouble with the Yellow Turban Army. On the contrary, these powerful clans, which were inextricably linked with the Taiping Dao, secretly sent a lot of military rations and property to the Yellow Turban Army in order to maintain a relatively peaceful attitude with the Yellow Turban Army.
As for the side of the Yellow Turban Army, because the leader Zhang Jiao had a clear arrangement for the strategy of the Yellow Turban Army, he did not intend to entangle with those local tyrants. In this way, the two sides, who should have been hostile to each other and fought to the death, actually reached a tacit peace in Changshan.
There are even some wealthy families who are optimistic about the development momentum of the Yellow Turban Army, or believe in the Taiping Dao, and simply join the Yellow Turban Army and become a small marshal, or even a "Taiping Messenger".
Therefore, when stepping on the land of Changshan Country, Zhang Qi did not feel any crisis, but had the ease of an outing.
And the Tianping Army, which has extremely sufficient military resources, has no intention of breaking the tacit relationship maintained by the local Haoqiang and the Yellow Turban Army. What can be bought with money, insolence does not want to pay the price of blood for it.
At this time, the ranks of the Tianping Army had expanded a lot. Because, during the ten days of Julu's stay, Zhang Qiang received a large number of core reserve personnel of Taiping Dao. These people, who are concentrated between the ages of twelve and twenty, are the reason why Zhang Yan was sent to Julu.
- These are the seeds of the future of Taiping Dao!
Everything Zhang Yan did was arranged by the "Great Sage and Good Teacher".
With Zhang Yan pressing the formation, two hundred of the most loyal and elite Taiping Dao disciples, protecting six hundred Taiping Dao high-ranking and Zhang clan's young disciples, joined the Tianping Army.
With the protection of the Tianping Army with strong combat effectiveness, the general Han army and county soldiers are not dangerous at all. In case most of the Yellow Turban Army is defeated and destroyed, these young Taiping Dao disciples will also be able to continue the bloodline of Taiping Dao and the Zhang family.
Zhang Yan can be valued by the "great virtuous teacher" Zhang Jiao and accepted as a righteous son, and he is undoubtedly a very capable young man. However, what he appreciated most to Zhang Jiao was his persistent loyalty to "Taiping Dao". If it weren't for the opposition within the entire "Julu Zhang Clan", Zhang Jiao would have even thought of letting Zhang Yan inherit his position.
When accepting this task, Zhang Yan was also specially told by Zhang Jiao, a "great virtuous teacher", to pay attention to observe the reaction of Qu Shuai Zhang of the "Tianping Army" after learning of such an arrangement.
If Zhang Yan's reaction was a little dissatisfied or reluctant, Zhang Jiao instructed Zhang Yan to break away from the team of the "Tianping Army" on his own. Anyway, with Zhang Yan's command ability, there are still two hundred elite Taiping Dao disciples here, and they can settle down wherever they go and open up a habitat to come out.
However, when Zhang Qiang learned that this group of future elites of Taiping Dao was entrusted to him, he was first stunned, and then overjoyed. This reaction made Zhang Yan extremely satisfied, and only then did he send the second batch of good things to Zhang Yan.
- Gold and jewelry goods!
- A lot of gold and jewelry!
When Zhang Mad saw the 20,000 catties of gold that Zhang Bao asked Wei Xiao to send, he thought that he would never be moved by the huge amount of money again. However, it is clear that he was wrong, very wrong.
When the gold, silver and jewelry, worth more than a billion dollars, were piled up in front of Zhang Madness, exuding a magnificent light, Zhang Qiang felt that his heart was once again hovering on the verge of breaking!
——Whether in the past life or in this life, how could Zhang Qiang have ever seen such a level of wealth?
ps:1 According to records, Julu City was already breached when Lu Zhi attacked the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou. The history here is purely apocryphal, so don't be surprised by those who know it.
