"Yesterday's events are really ...... I'm so sorry. β
In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Huang was very surprised to find that Zhang Yan, who had obviously followed Zhang Jiao from Pingxiang County yesterday, had gone and returned, and after being invited into the hall, Zhang Yan made a sincere apology at the first moment.
Zhang Yan, formerly known as Chu Yan, was accepted as a righteous son by Zhang Niujiao, so he changed his name to Zhang Yan, and he was really one of the few heroic figures in the Yellow Turban forces. Especially in the post-Yellow Turban era after the defeat of the Jiazi Yellow Turban (referring to the time before and after the Second Yellow Turban Uprising, that is, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, the Black Mountain Yellow Turban, and the Baibo Yellow Turban), the Black Mountain Yellow Turban was divided in Bingzhou, and was regarded as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh by Yuan Shao's extremely outstanding nephew Gao Gan. And in the end, Zhang Yan threw himself into Cao Cao with great foresight, and in the middle and late stages of the Battle of Guandu, he assisted Cao Cao in burying Yuan Shao in one fell swoop, took off the hat of the thief, and became the only sub-force of the Yellow Turban force that died of his life.
This qiΔ proves that Zhang Yannai is an extremely outstanding leader of the Yellow Turban forces, and he can be called a heroic figure in terms of martial arts strategy and judging the situation.
This kind of heroic man has always been what Zhang Huang hopes to befriend, and how can he have a conflict with Zhang Yan because of Zhang Niujiao's various doubts about himself yesterday, and even if it is feasible, Zhang Huang hopes to win over this heroic man in the Yellow Turban forces, after all, although he has now become the next candidate for the head of the Taiping Dao with the support of Zhang Liang, the Taiping Dao believers below are not convinced by him. If Zhang Yan's support can be obtained, it will be a good thing for Zhang Huang to win the right to speak within Taiping Dao in the future or to form his own team.
"Senior brother's words...... Actually, it's not wrong. It's just that...... Alas! β
After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Huang instead said a good word for Zhang Niujiao, hoping to get Zhang Yan's favor.
Seeing that Zhang Huang did not hold a grudge because of Zhang Niujiao's merciless criticism yesterday, Zhang Yan unexpectedly had a good impression of him because of Zhang Huang's measurements, nodded and said, "I understand what Little Heavenly Master means...... In fact, I did not support me, and Taiping Dao rose up against the Han at this time. β
"Oh?" Zhang Huang glanced at Zhang Yan with some surprise.
I saw Zhang Yan sigh slightly, shook his head and said. "The so-called hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff, the Han court has been passed down for more than 400 years, what kind of behemoth can be overturned? Previously, I had only two advantages. The first is the people's will, and the second is the situation of the enemy and the enemy...... It's a pity that the traitor Tang Zhou betrayed, and my Taiping Dao has been regarded as the greatest hidden danger by the Han court, and I believe that most of the Han emperors have been dispatching troops and horses at this time...... Our. The opportunity has been lost. If we really fight, even if we can take advantage of the haste of the local forces of the Han Dynasty to prepare and win the first few battles, if we encounter the regular army sent by the imperial court later...... The odds are not good. β
Glancing at Zhang Yan, who shook his head and sighed, Zhang Huang was surprised beyond words, after all, history was exactly what it was. In the early stage, due to the lack of preparation of the local governments, the Yellow Turban Army was like a bamboo. The main force of the three roads is approaching the main place of Sili, especially the Yingchuan Yellow Turban, which was the most popular in the early stage. Even though the imperial court sent Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, two famous generals who were good at fighting, they were forced to flee into the Changshe to protect themselves by another heroic figure in the history of the Yellow Turbans and the first wave of the Yingchuan Yellow Turbans. But as the heroes of the imperial court forces appeared one after another, the imperial court forces began to counterattack, and the Yellow Turban Army was defeated one after another, from the beginning of the momentum to the later defeat, the mighty anti-Han army, known as a million, only lasted a few months and then declared defeat.
Summing up the reasons for the failure of the Yellow Turban forces, some people say that the strength of the Yellow Turban Army is insufficient, but in fact, the Yellow Turban forces can also be called full of talents, such as Bo Cai, Peng Tuo, Zhang Mancheng, Bu Ji, Xu He, I don't know how many counties and counties were captured at that time, how many Taishou were killed, and the strength alone was definitely not weak. It's a pity that due to the hasty mobilization of the Yellow Turban Army, the strength of the guide was insufficient in the later period. At this time when the offensive momentum was insufficient, the Yellow Turban Army began to transform, and all the sub-forces gradually changed from the crazy advance in the early stage to the defensive success, instead of uniting the rest of the sub-forces to put pressure on the imperial court, and the imperial court began to invest in the regular army (Northern Army) at that time, so all the sub-forces in the Yellow Turban forces were broken one after another. When the Yingchuan Yellow Turban, Nanyang Yellow Turban, and Jizhou Yellow Turban were defeated and exterminated one after another, even though there were still Yellow Turban forces in other places, such as Qingzhou and Yuzhou, this mighty uprising could actually be regarded as a failure.
Because of this, Zhang Huang hoped to avoid this inevitable general battle, but unfortunately the Taiping Dao was extremely dissatisfied, so when Zhang Yan personally said that he was not optimistic about this battle and described the interests of both sides, Zhang Huang was really surprised.
ββ¦β¦ But the Father-in-law doesn't look at it that rationally. As soon as the words turned, Zhang Yan said with a little regret, "Like my father-in-law, I'm afraid that the little heavenly master won't understand the status of the great sage and good teacher in my father-in-law's mind, it's simply a grace of recreation...... Therefore, even if our side only has one chance of winning this battle, the righteous father will support the declaration of war against the Han court, even if it is to save the last drop of blood for it...... This is what people want! β
Zhang Huang couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, because he had only considered that Taiping Dao would be defeated nine times out of ten after the army was raised, but he didn't think about it, maybe there were a huge number of people in Taiping Dao, and they actually knew that if they raised an army, they would have a small chance of winning, but their belief in loyalty to Zhang Jiao prompted them to make the Han court pay a heavy price for it at any cost.
It's a battle for revenge! Never die!
"......" opened his mouth, but Zhang Huang was speechless. After a long time, he glanced at Zhang Yan strangely and asked, "Actually, you specially came to persuade me to support the army, right?" β
Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face, nodded unabashedly, and said, "Little Heavenly Master guessed well. Yesterday, my father-in-law stayed overnight in the wilderness, full of anger, and wanted to leave Jizhou and unite the brothers in Dongjun, Yingchuan, Nanyang, Qingzhou and other places to sacrifice the flag and raise troops against the Han Dynasty, but after thinking about it carefully, this is not the right name and the words are not good. But if you want your father-in-law to come back and plead with the little heavenly master again, your father-in-law can't save face. I was also worried that the little heavenly master would be jealous of him because of yesterday's incident, so he took the liberty to take the matter next. Return the same way to see the little heavenly master......"
Zhang Yan told Zhang Huang the reason for this trip, and he did not hide it, and his straightforward and honest attitude made Zhang Huang feel a little good about him.
ββ¦β¦ Do you have to fight? After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Huang asked Zhang Yan.
Probably didn't expect Zhang Huang to ask himself like this, Zhang Yan hesitated slightly, and then nodded emphatically. said, "The brothers below don't know that the great sage and good teacher have passed away, so it's not difficult to hide it. Here's the problem...... People like my father-in-law, that is no less than the revenge of killing my father! β
"Hmm......"
"Moreover, the strategy proposed by the Little Heavenly Master to break the whole into pieces and lurk under the foundation of the Great Han is actually also full of risks. Let's use a near analogy. I wonder if the little heavenly master has heard of Guo Dian? β
"Tie the tiger too much to guard Guo Dian?" Zhang Huang's mind couldn't help but think of the Taishou Lord who wantonly wanted to arrest Taiping Dao in Julu County a few days ago.
"I didn't expect the little heavenly master to hear about it." Zhang Yan glanced at Zhang Huang with a little surprise. Immediately, Zhengse said, "Don't hide it from the little Heavenly Master, in fact, it is not the first time that Guo Dian has targeted me for the Taiping Dao, many brothers have been arrested or killed by him before, and the rest of the brothers have not retaliated because of the strict orders from above. However, there is always an extreme in the anger of the human heart, even if I follow the instructions of the little heavenly master. But it can't stand the persecution of us like a shadow by the Han court, one day. Our followers of the Taiping Tao can no longer suppress the hatred in their hearts and take revenge...... Xiao Tianshi thinks that it is better to make a desperate bet against the imperial court now, or is it better to be persecuted to the point that he has to rebel and be defeated by each one in the future? β
"......" Zhang Huang was silent, in fact, this is what he is most worried about, after all, according to the Han court's emphasis on Taiping Dao, even if Taiping Dao dies down, I am afraid that the imperial court will not give up, I believe that there will be a very large-scale purge across the country at that time. You must know that the ruling layer has always been the principle that it is better to kill mistakes than to let go of this kind of thing, and when the time comes, let alone the believers of the Taiping Dao, I believe that those innocent people will be mercilessly killed in this purge.
It seemed to see through the vacillation in Zhang Huang's heart, Zhang Yan struck while the iron was hot, leaned over and whispered, "Instead of passively dealing with it at that time, it is better to make a desperate bet now, although I Taiping Dao has lost the opportunity now, but I believe that except for Si Li, the rest of the states and counties are not ready so quickly, so calculated, in fact, I Taiping Dao, it is not without a chance of winning......"
Although Zhang Yan's description of the tone is quite seductive, but I think only Zhang Huang knows the final outcome of Taiping Dao and the Yellow Turban Army best, but the problem is that, as Zhang Yan said, Taiping Dao is not Zhang Huang said that he can't afford to fight, if it doesn't work well, it will even cause a negative chain reaction.
In the end, Zhang Yan went back to Zhang Niujiao with a satisfied expression.
And Zhang Huang immediately asked to see Zhang Liang and told him the final decision on this matter.
"You've decided?"
When he learned that Zhang Huang finally decided to support the army, Zhang Liang's expression was still as cold and silent as ever, as if he would not be surprised by anything.
"What does the third uncle mean? Is there anything to build on? β
After learning the explanation that he always felt a little problematic from Zhang Liang's mouth, Zhang Huang no longer called Zhang Liang as the substitute teacher, but called him the third uncle. After all, according to Zhang Liang's explanation, Zhang Xie is Zhang Jiao, and in this case, Zhang Liang should be Zhang Huang's third uncle. More crucially, Zhang Liang is now the only person in Taiping Dao who supports Zhang Huang, although his support is limited to lifting Zhang Huang to a high position.
"My JianyΓ¬?" Zhang Liang sneered slightly with a bit of sarcasm, but he accepted Zhang Huang's title to him with peace of mind, and after thinking for a moment, he said lightly, "Since ancient times, raising troops to rejuvenate the army has sought righteousness and righteousness...... In what name are you going to raise an army? β
"How about acting for heaven and rebelling against heaven?" Zhang Huang is very clear about the status of "heaven" in the minds of the world.
"Where did you put the fifth house?" Zhang Liang glanced at Zhang Huang with a smile, obviously he also knew the details of the Fifth Gong Yuan, that was the real spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao, the one who acted for the Heavenly Dao, if Zhang Huang dared to pretend to be this name, I believe that the Heavenly Dao would definitely give constraints.
Facing Zhang Liang's sneer, Zhang Huang said unhurriedly, "When I say heaven, of course, I mean 'yellow sky'!" β
"......" Zhang Liang glanced at Zhang Huang, but there was no surprise, he stood up and walked behind the bookcase, picked up the pen, and wrote sixteen powerful and domineering words.
The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand.
