Chapter 308: The Mysterious Zhang Jiao
In 184, in the sixth year of Han Guanghe, October 19, the decisive battle in the north of Gucheng, the commander of the Yellow Turban Army, Jia Long, hanged himself, Zhou Tai led the people to surrender according to the last order, and the war in Sili was completely quelled, and the next thing to deal with was Zhang Jiao's million-strong army outside Hangu Pass!
In this battle, more than 80,000 soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army were killed and wounded, 1230,000 escaped, and as many as 2.67 million were captured by the Tianci Army.
The losses of the Tianci army were more than 10,000, most of them were wounded, and three deputy commanders were killed in this battle, although it was not tragic, but it was also a rare loss since the establishment of the Tianci army.
In 184 A.D., the sixth year of Han Guanghe, October 20, Emperor Ling of Han got the news that Jia Long died, and there was no yellow turban in Si Li, he issued an amnesty to the world, only the three brothers of Zhang Jiao were not pardoned, and felt that the central government was pacified, so he changed the Yuan Zhongping, and Dingguang and six years were the first year of Zhongping, and rewarded countless meritorious generals from all over the country, among which it is worth mentioning that Liu Bei was named General Anton, because just three days ago, news came from Yangzhou, except for Shouchun, the whole territory of Yangzhou was pacified by Liu Bei led the army.
In 184 A.D., the first year of Hanzhongping, on October 21, Liu Tai's army entered Hangu Pass, and sent a war letter to Zhang Jiao, hoping to fight Zhang Jiao to the death and completely end the root cause of cholera.
In 184 A.D., the first year of Hanzhongping, October 21, night, Zhang Jiao issued an order, the emperor was located in his daughter Zhang Wan, the capital of Chengdu, selected 800,000 elite divisions as the main force, displayed and the west of Hangu Pass, promised Liu Tai a decisive battle on the 23rd.
In 184 A.D., the first year of Hanzhongping, October 22, Jia You and Zhang Mancheng fought a decisive battle with Sun Jian's Jingzhou soldiers and Chen Wang Liu Pet in Luyang, the battle was in a state of stalemate, a fierce general led eight thousand iron cavalry into the battle, and then learned that this person was Lu Bu Lu Feng is also the first, this battle was Liu Tai went south, the first victory of the Han army, 100,000 enemies were annihilated, and the prisoners were as many as 230,000, Jia You and Zhang Mancheng were killed by Lu Bu and his generals
In 184 A.D., the first year of Hanzhong Ping, October 23, nearly two million troops under Hangu Pass were waiting for the battle, and the final decisive battle was said today, and Liu Tai and Zhang Jiao, the two protagonists, stood in front of the two armies, both looked at each other, as if they had a lot to say
More than a million troops confronted each other, it can be said that the mountains are all over the field, and there is no end in sight, but fortunately, the west of Hangu Pass is relatively spacious, otherwise it really can't accommodate so many people, this decisive battle, not only the Yellow Turban Army poured out, Liu Tai also ordered Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song to lead the troops and horses to help, of course, if the war is stalemate, the two will also lead the army to participate in the battle.
Glancing at the rear, the black and red colors that could not be seen at a glance were all the elite iron cavalry of the God-given army, Liu Tai felt very proud, these troops were Liu Tai who had worked hard for so many years, without them, Liu Tai would never have the powerful position he has now, in troubled times, as long as there are soldiers and horses, it is equivalent to everything.
Playing the horse, Liu Tai walked slowly towards the Yellow Turban Army camp opposite, and when he saw Liu Tai coming, Zhang Jiao also ordered the wrestlers who carried the sedan chair to go in the direction of Liu Tai, and the two had a tacit understanding.
Watching the main generals of the two sides slowly walk in, the millions of troops held their breath, and the atmosphere did not dare to breathe, and when the distance between the two sides was only more than ten meters, they stopped at the same time.
"Ahem" Although he is only in his forties, Zhang Jiao looks like an old man in the twilight, full of white hair, wrinkles layer upon layer, even opening his eyes, it looks so difficult, looking at the heroic Liu Tai opposite, Zhang Jiao coughed twice, and said softly: "Liu Tai, after a few years, we meet again"
"Heh" The corners of Liu Tai's mouth hung a trace of arc, resting on Thor, swaying back and forth, bowing to Zhang Jiao and saying: "This king remembers, Mr. bypassed this king's life." ”
Liu Tai didn't call Zhang Jiao, who was wearing a dragon robe, the emperor, because Liu Tai had never admitted it at all, and now Zhang Jiao's appearance looked like a monkey in a yellow robe, which was very funny.
"Hehe, the God King still remembers, I thought the God King and the nobles were so forgetful." Zhang Jiao smiled self-deprecatingly, although he didn't call himself for a long time, Zhang Jiao liked it very much, but Zhang Jiao also understood that with this title, it would only be today at most, because today is Zhang Jiao's deadline.
"I? Zhang Jiao, Zhang Jiao, is it possible that you really seem to have pushed the Zhang family into a place of no return? Liu Tai frowned, looking a little dissatisfied, looking at Zhang Jiao's twilight touch, and said coldly.
"Doomed? The day I led my brothers to revolt was over! Zhang Jiao recovered his calmness, glanced at Liu Tai, and then pointed to the army behind Liu Tai and said, "God King, do you know? I really hate, I hate why I left you back then, if you die early, this world has already fulfilled my wish for the harmony of the world"
"The world is the same? Hehe" Liu Tai couldn't help but smile, looked at Zhang Jiao with a mocking face, and said with bright eyes: "Where is the world of great harmony?" If you really want to pursue the idea of great harmony, why should you establish a country and become the emperor? In the final analysis, it's just because Zhang Jiao is ambitious. ”
"Zhang Jiao, look at it, because of your rebellion, how heavy the damage has been to the Han world? Because of you, the Central Plains is ten rooms and nine empty, because of you, the people are easy to eat, because of you, the vitality of my Han has suffered unimaginable heavy blows, and because of you, my Han has lost tens of thousands of miles of territory, if it weren't for you, this king would have pacified the entire northeast outside the Han Dynasty and expanded the territory of my Han people by tens of thousands of miles! Do you know? Everything is because of you, because of your ambition!! Are you right? Are you worthy of the ancestors and fathers above the nine heavens? Liu Tai's face was angry, and he pointed at Zhang Jiao and scolded, although Liu Tai thought about it every day and wanted to scold Zhang Jiao every night, but he didn't fulfill his wish until today.
Zhang Jiao's face turned cold, looking at Liu Tai, thinking back to what Liu Tai said, his expression became more and more ugly, all the time, especially after being seriously ill, Zhang Jiao has been going deep into Jane, and he is not very clear about the situation of the people today, and Zhang Jiao's military advisor Huang Long will not tell Zhang Jiao these things.
"Liu Tai, if it weren't for me, would it be possible for you to annex the entire Hebei in a short period of time? If it weren't for me, would it be possible for you to spread your heavenly power all over the country? If it weren't for me, would you have been crowned king? Shaking his head, no longer thinking about the problems of the people, Zhang Jiao looked at Liu Tai and said with a very tired expression.
"Heh, when you say this, it's all because of this king that you rebelled?" Liu Tai was speechless and shook his head, he didn't expect Zhang Jiao to have such the ability to justify.
"Ahem rebellion? This is an uprising! When the sages Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled, they said that the prince and the prince would have a kind of Xiangning? Qin lost its deer, Han took it, could it be that if Han lost its deer, I couldn't take it? Zhang Jiao couldn't help coughing twice, and quarreled with Liu Tai in front of the million-strong army, which was really impressive.
"Chen Sheng Wu Guang? Yes, they all revolted, but they also died, you Zhang Jiao, do you want to learn from them to be the next one? Liu Tai smiled, the overlord halberd in his hand was slowly raised, pointed at Zhang Jiao, and shouted: "Zhang Jiao, with me Liu Tai in one day, my Han will not die, and with me Liu Tai in one day, the snakes, insects and rats will not want to steal my Han artifact!" ”
"Haha" Hearing Liu Tai's oath-like language, Zhang Jiao laughed loudly, pointed at Liu Tai, and shouted without letting go: "Liu Tai, don't forget, you are also a chaotic minister and thief, and one day later, you will be the same as me, and you will steal the artifact of the Han Dynasty, hahaha!! ”
"Ha, what if this king claims to be the emperor and sits on the world? Have you forgotten that this king is a relative of the Han family? Liu Tai looked at Zhang Jiao with bright eyes, and his words were very soft, trying not to let others hear.
"Han clan relatives?" Zhang Jiao reluctantly straightened up, leaned forward slightly, looked at Liu Tai playfully, grinned, vomited blood, laughed, and said: "Liu Tai, Liu Tai, are you really a member of the Han family?" Are you really Liu Tai??? ”
"What??" Liu Tai's expression changed dramatically and he exclaimed, of course, Zhang Jiao's words were not loud, only the people carrying the sedan chair around him and Liu Tai could hear it.
Seeing Liu Tai's face change greatly, Zhang Jiao couldn't help but smile proudly, and after glancing at the guards carrying the sedan chair left and right, he said to Liu Tai: "Don't worry, there are not many people who can know this secret, they are all deaf, they can't hear our conversation, I will never say it, of course, I won't use this to blackmail you."
Liu Tai squinted his eyes, exuding a dangerous aura all over his body, staring at Zhang Jiao, and said with cold and cold words from his mouth: "Zhang Jiao, you should understand that no matter who this king is, as long as this king is here, it is impossible for Northern Xinjiang to change hands because of rumors, your abacus is wrong, right?" ”
"Hey, maybe." Zhang Jiao looked at Liu Tai's eyes that revealed a dangerous light, and said extremely strangely: "Liu Tai, I really want to know one thing, don't you feel that you are being watched all the time?" On the march, when dealing with government affairs, and even when you have intercourse. ”
Liu Tai's face was gloomy as water, when he heard Zhang Jiao's words, Liu Tai's heart was in an uproar, because this feeling has always been there, I originally thought it was given by Xiang Yu and Bai Qi, but today Zhang Jiao said this, it was a little different.
"Did you send someone to keep an eye on the king?" Looking at Zhang Jiao, Liu Tai was a little unconvinced, although Zhang Jiao's current identity was not ordinary, but the characters who could spy on him were definitely not something that ordinary people could send.
"I?" Zhang Jiao couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly, shook his head and sighed for a while and said, "It turns out that you also feel this way, what does it taste like to be used as a chess piece?" Isn't it aggrieved? Isn't it uncomfortable? ”
"I'm a little better than you, because I at least know who is behind this black hand, and I've also removed the nails of this black hand, but you're in trouble." After Zhang Jiao said something inexplicable, he gestured to the wrestler who carried the sedan chair, and the wooden sedan chair slowly left the ground, and it seemed that Zhang Jiao was ready to return to the battle.
"Tell the king, who is spying on the king?" When he heard the red face and troubled water, Liu Tai was stunned, and shouted at the back of Zhang Jiao who had just turned around and left.
Zhang Jiao waved his hand at Liu Tai, looking very chic and bleak, and said in a faint voice: "One day you will understand, next, we will have a fateful decisive battle, if you die, I can rule the world, if I die, the world will be"
