There may be many people who mistakenly equate Taiping Road with the Yellow Turban Army, but in fact, Taiping Road is Taiping Road, and the Yellow Turban Army is the Yellow Turban Army, and the two cannot be generalized.

First of all, Taiping Dao is a religion, composed of the disciples of the great sage and good teacher Zhang Jiao and the believers who are extremely fanatical about the doctrine, their number is not too many, and the core layer of a place is at most hundreds or thousands, and it is not as exaggerated as the rumors are as many as thousands. However, there will basically be one or three of Zhang Jiao's direct disciples who will serve as the leaders of the place, that is, the big and small Qu Shuai. For example, Yingchuan Qu Shuai Bocai, Dongjun Qu Shuai Bu has and so on.

In general, the status of the big and small commanders in the framework of the Taiping Road is equivalent to that of the commanders and generals of the Han Dynasty, and the Dafang takes the "county" unit as the strategic control target, while the small party takes the "county" unit as the strategic control target, and the general strategic policy is that when Zhang Jiao raises his arms and revolts, the 36 important county leaders or county leaders of the Han Dynasty will jointly raise troops and ignite the spark that is enough to ignite the prairie fire.

In order to facilitate contact and commander-in-chief, Taiping Dao set up six "divine envoys", whose status was above Qu Shuai and below the three Zhang brothers, and among them, the deceased Ma Yuanyi was the "divine envoy" in charge of Jing and Yang, and after his death, his position as divine envoy was inherited by his successor, Zhang Mancheng, who controlled Nanyang Wancheng.

The Yellow Turban Army, on the other hand, not only included the entire Taiping Dao, but also included the displaced people in various places they absorbed during their preaching, most of which were civilians who were ignored by the imperial court and left to fend for themselves after natural and man-made disasters in various places.

In addition, the phalanx of the Taiping Dao and the Yellow Turban Army was also very different, and the purpose of the Taiping Dao was to attract enough believers. to prepare for the overthrow of the thugs in their eyes in the future; The Yellow Turban Army, on the other hand, was in direct contact with the Han Dynasty in the form of force when it was already fully prepared or had to be born.

Therefore, to be precise, the Yellow Turban Army includes the entire Taiping Dao, but it is also led by the Taiping Dao, one is the army, the other is the religion, and in general, the Yellow Turban Army is an army born from religion. Therefore, it was the Taiping Road that came first, and the Yellow Turban Army that came later. The former commands the latter.

And when did the Yellow Turban Army appear, that is, the Yellow Turban Army that appeared after the three Zhang brothers openly sacrificed to the sky and raised troops, which made Zhang Huangkong, who was still shocked by his transformation into a million Yellow Turbans, rejoice. Because after knowing Zhang Huang exactly, I knew that the current Taiping Dao, even if the believers in the whole country combined, were only more than 10,000 people, far from reaching the history of Zhang Jiao's ascending to the heights and raising his arms, and the people from all over the world obeyed. In an instant, it turned into a glorious situation of a million yellow turban army.

Although there are some regrets, Zhang Huang also has to accept this fact. To be more precise, he is more inclined to the current situation of Taiping Dao. After all, although there are only a few believers in Taiping Dao at present, these people are all diehard Taiping Dao loyalists who believe in "Yellow Sky". Except for Tang Zhou, who was originally a pawn of foreign forces to break into the interior, there would basically be no traitors, and it would be impossible to do anything like the horse thieves and robbers in some places in the future who persecuted the people under the banner of Taiping Dao or the Yellow Turban Army.

What's more critical is that although Zhang Jiao ascended to the heights in history and raised his arms, he did bring an almost devastating blow to the Han Dynasty in the early stage. But later, as local magnates such as Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Sun Jian came to the fore, the Yellow Turban Army seemed to have turned into a wave of sand that could be mined for real gold. specially screened the endless heroic characters in various places for the big man, but became a foil.

This is what Zhang Huang does not want to see.

If Zhang Liang really recommended him Zhang Huang as the next head of the Taiping Dao as he said, then the first thing Zhang Huang had to do was to cancel Zhang Jiao's hasty rebellion against the Han in history, disperse the believers who were loyal to the Taiping Dao, and lurk in the Han Dynasty from the beginning, gradually encroaching on the imperial court's control over the local areas from the foundation, and using the mouthpiece of the people to create all kinds of public opinion unfavorable to the imperial court. Wouldn't such a two-pronged strategy be much better than a hasty military launch?

But unfortunately, sometimes the development of things cannot be artificially controlled, at least with Zhang Huang's qualifications, it is not possible to make the old people in Taiping Dao happy and surrender to cancel the matter of raising troops.

"What? Don't afford to be in the army? …… Are you really the righteous son of a great sage and good teacher?! ”

In a secret underground secret room in Pingxiang County, Zhang Huang had just spoken his idea, and was opposed by all the Taiping Dao believers who were qualified to participate in the meeting, and the first of them to stand up against it was Zhang Yan, a strong man who looked to be in his forties, who was said to be the personal disciple of Zhang Jiao, a virtuous teacher of CUHK.

Some people may be quite unfamiliar with this name, but if you change the name, I am afraid that the number of people who know it will increase a lot: before this man became Zhang Jiao's eldest disciple, he used to sell illicit salt and was also a bandit, and he was outstanding in martial arts and good at fighting grievances. But when he was young and sold illicit salt, he always carried a horn with him when he was in charge of letting off the wind for his companions, and if any officers and soldiers came to arrest him, he would blow the horn to inform his companions, and over time, familiar people would call him "Horn".

Yes, this person is Zhang Jiao's most trusted disciple, Zhang Niujiao, who appointed the "divine envoy" of Youzhou and Hebei, and the father-in-law of Zhang Yan, the leader of the Yellow Turbans in Montenegro who was extremely outstanding during the second Yellow Turban Uprising in the future.

A person with such an identity jumped out to embarrass himself, even though Zhang Huang had long known that this road was extremely bumpy, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Looking back at Zhang Liang, who was sitting upright on the side, the old god was in an expression that he didn't care about himself, and the wry smile in Zhang Huang's heart suddenly expanded several times. Because Zhang Liang had already made it clear that he only recommended Zhang Huang to be the next head of the Taiping Dao, but whether he could convince the old qualifications in the original Taiping Dao like Zhang Niujiao still depends on Zhang Huang himself.

"This ...... Please calm down, brother. ”

As a last resort, Zhang Huang had no choice but to temporarily relent, lowering his posture to persuade Zhang Niujiao.

Before this meeting, Zhang Liang bluntly told Zhang Huang that his stepfather Zhang Xie was his brother Zhang Jiao, and Zhang Huang was really taken aback by this "no accident". It was as if he had guessed that Zhang Liang would say such shocking words. But when Zhang Liang really said it, Zhang Huang was still taken aback.

There is no other reason, just because the name of the great virtuous teacher Zhang Jiao is too shocking, and the righteous son of the great virtuous teacher Zhang Jiao, this title really makes Zhang Huang a little overwhelmed.

However, after careful consideration, Zhang Huang gradually accepted this reality.

First, the fifth Gongyuan once said more than once that Zhang Huang's father-in-law Zhang Xie was Zhang Jiao, the great sage and teacher of Taiping Dao, but Zhang Huang was too shocked to deny it subconsciously after hearing it; Second, Zhang Liang was willing to give up the entire Taiping Dao, and recommended him as the next head of the Taiping Dao for no reason. Zhang Huang can also roughly infer the conclusion. Just imagine, if it weren't for this relationship, why did Zhang Liang give him Zhang Huang a powerful force that could overthrow the Han Dynasty in vain?

However, having said that, Zhang Huang did not have the slightest doubt, after all, he and Zhang Xie had been in Phantom Sky Mountain for fifteen years, during which he had never heard Zhang Xie mention Taiping Dao, nor had he ever seen him contact with Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang.

In this regard, the Fifth Gong Yuan has already come to its own conclusion, because Zhang Xie has only inherited part of Zhang Jiao's obsession and strength. It can't be regarded as a real stretch. But here, Zhang Liang did not tell Zhang Huang as truthfully, he just said that his brother was just to better study the entire "Taiping Yaoshu" Heavenly Book. The pseudonym Zhang Xie lives in seclusion in Phantom Sky Mountain, who would have thought that Zhang Jiao studied and researched, and gradually changed his temperament. No longer cares about the internal affairs of Taiping Road. In addition, Zhang Liang also explained to Zhang Zhen: it was what he Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao were looking for together. A substitute for Zhang Jiao to enter the imperial court eyeliner.

For these explanations, Zhang Huang instinctively felt that something was wrong, he knew that Zhang Liang had something to hide from him, but seeing that Zhang Liang was silent, he didn't want to ask too much to investigate. Anyway, one thing is certain, that is, his father-in-law Zhang Xie died at the hands of the Fifth Gong Yuan, no matter what, he Zhang Huang will also avenge this blood sea of revenge.

But as Cai Yan said, if you want to find trouble with the Fifth Gong Yuan, the Han court will definitely not sit idly by, so Zhang Huang must be prepared to be the enemy of the entire Han Dynasty and even the whole world. Because of this, Zhang Huang desperately wanted to preserve the vitality of the Taiping Dao and gradually encroach on the foundation of the Han Dynasty in an opertic way, but unfortunately, without Zhang Liang's explicit support, Zhang Huang could not suppress the proud soldiers and fierce generals in the Taiping Dao like Zhang Niujiao.

Even if Zhang Huang clearly told Zhang Niujiao, if he hastily raised troops at this moment, I am afraid that it would bring a catastrophe to Taiping Dao, and Zhang Niujiao turned a deaf ear and sneered.

"Before the war, it is said that our side will be defeated, how can a timid and fearful person like you inherit the mantle of a great sage and good teacher?!"

Zhang Niujiao looked at Zhang Huang with hostility, and as soon as his words fell, all the Taiping Dao believers in the secret room also opened their mouths to support Zhang Niujiao, saying that if the great sage and good teacher were really gone, the three leaders (Zhang Liang) or senior brother (Zhang Niujiao) would take over and lead them to take revenge on the Han court. The bursts of people's voices pressed the ground and Zhang Huang couldn't open his mouth at all.

With these words, even Zhang Niujiao, who was loyal to Zhang Jiao, couldn't help but feel a little moved, and quietly glanced at Zhang Liang, who was silent.

However, at this moment, he saw that Zhang Liang seemed to see through something, and said lightly, "Zhang surnamed Huang'er is the next head of Taiping Dao, and there is no need to mention this matter!" ”

Zhang Niujiao's face suddenly turned pale, and the other Taiping Dao disciples in the secret room did not dare to make any more noise, after all, Zhang Liang was different from Zhang Baoke, during Zhang Jiao's absence, Zhang Liang, who had always served as the acting head of the sect, his words were like a golden rule, even if it was Zhang Niujiao, who was extremely old, he did not dare to be anxious with Zhang Liang.

After listening to Zhang Liang's words, Zhang Huang felt a little more at ease. He felt very strange, in his opinion, Zhang Liang, the "third uncle", should have a very good opinion of him, and from all indications, this third uncle was not inclined to hand over the entire Taiping Dao to him, but for some reason, Zhang Liang finally stood firmly on the side of his supporters, but this support was limited to recommending him to sit in the position of the head of the Taiping Dao, and the rest simply ignored it and let Zhang Huang do what he did.

"If you don't plan to avenge the great sage and good teacher, then it's up to me to do it!"

Zhang Niujiao, who was swept away by Zhang Liang, couldn't stay after all, and coldly dropped a sentence, and took the lead in leaving the secret room, and also took away the team of Black Mountain Yellow Turbans such as Zhang Yan (Chu Feiyan), Yu Du, Mu Gu, etc.

Looking at the back of Zhang Niujiao's departure, Zhang Huang was very clear in his heart, he knew that Zhang Niujiao's departure was probably going to part ways with him, but he did not have the slightest qualifications or qualifications to retain or force Zhang Niujiao to stay.

Sure enough, Zhang Niujiao left Pingxiang County with a large group of people that day, and from beginning to end, Zhang Liang turned a blind eye and had no intention of intervening at all.

[Is this a must-lose battle really necessary?] ]

Looking at the eyes of those Taiping Dao disciples who were full of suspicion, disdain, contempt and even hostility when they looked at him, Zhang Huang smiled bitterly in his heart.

He finally realized that there were some things that he could not have avoided with foreknowledge.

But what exactly does it take to win this battle?

In the silence of the night, Zhang Huang leaned against the window of the room, looked at the stars in the night sky and fell into deep thought.
