Although Zhang Huang said goodbye to Huangfu Song, he did not follow Dong Zhuo to Luoyang.

Because for this magnificent city, Zhang Huang resisted him from the bottom of his heart and maintained the strongest fear of him, and the reason for all this was nothing more than that there was a half-immortal with "beyond mortal power" in this capital, the national teacher of the Han Dynasty, the fifth palace yuan.

Before gaining enough strength, Zhang Huang didn't plan to let the Fifth Gong Yuan notice him again. After all, the power that the Fifth Gong Yuan could use was too shocking, not to mention anything else, just the Heavenly Sword Restoration and the Earth Sword were not something he could compete with.

After thinking about it, Zhang Huang decided to say goodbye to Dong Zhuo, after all, he went to Dong Zhuo's hands to make soy sauce this time just to see Huangfu Song, and now that the goal has been achieved, he naturally has no intention of staying, after all, he doesn't plan to give his life to this Uncle Dong.

As for where to go after leaving, Zhang Huang himself didn't have a general idea. At this time when the Yellow Turban Army had fallen and the Black Feather Crows had dispersed, he really felt a little lonely.

"Why don't you go and see our daughter-in-law secretly?"

Zhang Huang, who was talking to himself, couldn't help but think of Cai Yan, and thought of this confidante they met and knew each other on the way to death. But when he thought that the Cai sisters and their father Cai Yong were also living in Luoyang City at this time, Zhang Huang couldn't help but sigh again.

There was no way, with the mountain of the fifth palace yuan, he didn't dare to step into Luoyang, even if he was a little closer to Luoyang, he felt inexplicably weak.

However, before Zhang Huang could think about it, he received a contact request from Taiping Dao.

The rebel armies of Taiping Dao and Liangzhou are currently the two most well-known rebel forces in the Han Kingdom, and the Han court does not know how many people were sent to spy on this information. Therefore, Zhang Huang categorically did not dare to contact Taiping Dao in Henan Yin, after all, the entire Henan Yin can be said to be the ruling range of various forces in the imperial court.

In the end, Zhang Huang chose to be in Yiyang, a county far away from the prosperous line of Luoyang-Hongnong. Because here the mountains are cascading. There is also Lu Hun Pass guarding the south side for the imperial court, which can be regarded as the hinterland of the imperial court's forces, and such a stable place will not receive too much attention, so it is the best hiding place.

In the upper room of the tavern in the west of Yiyang City, Zhang Huang saw the fine work sent by Taiping Dao to contact him, a man who looked very shrewd, about twenty years old.

At Zhang Huang's first moment, the man stood up and clasped his fists to salute Zhang Huang.

"What do you call it?"

Zhang Huang waved his hand and sat down casually across from this person. Reached for the teapot on the table and poured a cup for both parties.

"Returning to the young master, the villain Uncle Zhang, is the subordinate of Lord Busi." The other party lowered his voice and replied.

Bu Si?

East County Yellow Turbans?

Zhang Huang didn't care about the other party's somewhat advantageous name, but was a little puzzled by the other party's identity. Because as far as he knows, it should be the Jizhou Yellow Turban who contacted him this time.

It seemed that seeing the suspicion in Zhang Huang's eyes, Uncle Zhang hurriedly explained, "Don't be in charge, this is the order of the third master." ”

"Third master? What's the situation? Zhang Huang knew that the third master in Uncle Zhang's mouth was referring to Zhang Liang, which was just an excuse to avoid people's ears.

"That's right. When you were not at home before, the third master felt that the family business was too scattered and chaotic, which was not conducive to development. Therefore, he recalled Lord Bu Si, who was in charge of the division of the East County family, and ordered Lord Bu Si to be in charge of those private songs in the family......"

Private song, as the name suggests, is the private armed forces of the local family, but in the mouth of Uncle Zhang. It refers to the local army of the Yellow Turban Army.

"Uncle Liang separated the 'sect' from the 'private song'?" Zhang Huang touched his chin and guessed.

As soon as he heard the word Zongmen, Uncle Zhang was inevitably a little panicked, and coughed again and again to signal Zhang Huangdao. "It's the family business, and it's the family business that is less in charge."

Although it was in Hongnong County, Uncle Zhang was still extremely cautious, and God knows if there was any eyeliner of the imperial court nearby.

Zhang Huang was silent.

In fact, separating Taiping Dao from the Yellow Turban Army was something that Zhang Huang had suggested to Zhang Liang a long time ago. After all, the division of labor between the two is different, the former is a religion, and the latter protects the religious army, and if only the local commanders are in charge, it will only make the two chaotic.

Think about Bocai and Zhang Mancheng, it is undeniable that they are good commanders and good at leading troops to fight, but have they achieved any results in winning the hearts of the local people? No!

The Yellow Turban Army recruited newcomers, relying on the good name of the great sage and good teacher Zhang Jiao at the beginning, which was like hanging a pot to help the world, and after that, all the local Qu Shuai were just gnawing at the old book, they felt that relying on the reputation of the great sage and good teacher was enough to win public opinion, so they ignored the Yellow Turban Army to preside over the good deeds. To put it bluntly, a great sage and good teacher has become the spiritual pillar of almost all the Yellow Turban disciples.

This situation has a great drawback, that is, when Zhang Jiao is not there, the prestige of the Yellow Turban Army will plummet, just like the current situation.

Therefore, Zhang Huang suggested that Zhang Liang once again separate the Taiping Dao from the Yellow Turban Army, defining the former as a religion that won the hearts of the people and recruited henchmen, while the Yellow Turban Army, with its huge number of soldiers, was destined to be unable to hide like the former, and could only occupy the mountains and split the land to become a military force on one side, and strive to raise soldiers.

The advantage of this is that the core of the entire Yellow Turban force, that is, the Taiping Dao, can be well hidden, and the power needed to subvert the Han can be accumulated in the shadows; The disadvantage is that this move will make the Yellow Turban Army a target, and if it cannot operate and resist the encirclement and suppression from various local forces in the imperial court, it will be eaten.

There is no way, after all, there are still nearly 200,000 people in the Yellow Turban Army, not to mention such a huge population base, it cannot be completely hidden, even if it is hidden, the rice, grain, and money needed are not borne by Zhang Liang and Zhang Huang.

Therefore, Zhang Huang hoped that the Yellow Turban forces in various places would be encircled and suppressed by various local forces in the imperial court, and that they would train an army with the most willpower in a difficult situation.

From the current point of view, Zhang Liang has listened to his suggestion, merged the Dongjun Yellow Turban into the Jizhou Yellow Turban, and transferred back Bu Si to serve as the commander of the Jizhou Yellow Turban Army. And he, Zhang Liang himself, if nothing else, should be hidden among the people to absorb believers.

"Do you have any general plans?" Zhang Huang asked.

Zhang Bo thought about it, and then told Zhang Huang very vaguely that Bu Si's intention was to give up the Central Plains and transfer the Yellow Turban forces to Zhongshan, Changshan, Daijun, Yanmen, and Taiyuan counties.

In this regard, Zhang Huang agrees, after all, there are many gate valves in the Central Plains. When the Yellow Turban Army was in power, it could not get the support of the local family, but it was pulled back from time to time, and was jointly suppressed by the local government and the family forces, not to mention that now the Yellow Turban has lost power and its strength is not as good as before.

Rather than survive half-dead in the Central Plains, it is better to move to the prefecture where the imperial court has weak control, and make a comeback there.

"When are you going to transfer your 'family business'?"

"Nearly two years. …… During this period, some guys are relatively close, and it is difficult to make any moves. After a pause, Uncle Zhang seemed to think of something again, and said, "But Guo Tai and the others have already gone to Bingzhou to investigate. If possible, they will take a step forward to establish a foothold in the local area so that the whole family business can be transferred one after another. ”

"Guo Tai?" Zhang Huang was stunned, and then nodded as if he had a clear understanding.

If nothing goes wrong, Guo Tai will then establish a force in the area of Baibo Mountain in Bingzhou, known as the Baibo Yellow Turban, which is a Yellow Turban force that even Dong Zhuo, who will hold the power of the imperial court in the future, will feel jealous.

The two talked for a long time, and Uncle Zhang said goodbye to Zhang Huang, and he did not suggest that Zhang Huang go back. Zhang Huang didn't want to go back.

After all, the purpose of the current Taiping Dao and the Yellow Turban Army is nothing more than to accumulate strength and preserve strength, so whether Zhang Huang returns or not, there will not be much change.

As for the Qu Shuai Bu Si, who commanded the Jizhou Yellow Turban. Zhang Huang was very relieved of him, after all, Bu Si was not a very aggressive commander, he was better at consolidating his power, and he was also Zhang Jiao's proud disciple. With a lot of Taoist skills, Zhang Huang believes that even if he is not in Jizhou, Bu Si can lead the Jizhou Yellow Turban well.

There is one more key reason. It is that the imperial court has just finished fighting the Liangzhou rebel army this year, and in the early stage, because of the relationship between the general Zhou Shen, suffered heavy losses, even if it succeeded in repelling Han Sui and Bian Zhang in the end, it also greatly damaged the vitality of the imperial court.

In this case, even if it is known that the Yellow Turban has shown signs of resurgence, the imperial court will definitely not mobilize the army to encircle and suppress it, after all, the national conditions no longer allow the imperial court to send troops to encircle and suppress again.

To put it bluntly, as long as the Yellow Turban Army does not make too much trouble, I believe that the imperial court will turn a blind eye in a short period of time. Of course, it is just that in the short term, once the financial situation of the imperial court improves, I am afraid that the situation will be different.

However, when he thought that His Majesty the Emperor would still forcibly build a large number of buildings in the palace and build a lotus garden and a new hall under such a difficult financial situation of the imperial court, Zhang Huang believed that the financial situation of the imperial court would definitely not be able to breathe this breath without three or five years.

Uncle Zhang's departure made Zhang Huang a lonely person again, and this loneliness of doing nothing made Zhang Huang feel a little unbearable.

But what Zhang Huang didn't expect was that he thought that his idle days would last for a long time, but a letter from Dong Zhuo was delivered to him.

[Long-cherished wish may come true, you will speed to Luoyang!] ]

This headless letter made Zhang Huang confused.

Regarding ideals, wishes, etc., Zhang Huang once chatted with Dong Zhuo for a long time, which is nothing more than being a swordsman with a single sword in white clothes and fighting unevenly, but the word "dream" was added before the wish, and the meaning was completely different.

Zhang Huang has only one long-cherished wish, that is, to kill the fifth palace yuan to avenge his father-in-law Zhang Jie.

He revealed this matter to Dong Zhuo, after all, Dong Zhuo was a deviant guy, so naturally he would not have any respect for an old antique like the Fifth Palace Yuan.

And now Dong Zhuo hinted in the letter that Zhang Huang's long-cherished wish may have a chance to come true......

Zhang Huang's heart suddenly became hot.

Because his mind was full of this matter, Zhang Huang's actions were extremely fast, three days away, only two days to Luoyang, and met Dong Zhuo's guards outside the city gate to wait for him, after all, the inspection of those guards at the gate of Luoyang City was extremely strict, and the reason why Zhang Huang was able to enter the city last time was still relying on the Yellow Gate squire Xun You as a guarantee.

With Dong Zhuo's guards showing the token of his lord and the general Dong Zhuo, Zhang Huang entered Luoyang without interrogating and searching his body.

It is no wonder that after all, Dong Zhuo was very outstanding in this battle against the Xiliang rebels, and he was regarded as the best cultivation candidate by General He Jin, and this treatment was enough for Dong Zhuo to become an upstart in Luoyang. Not to mention the guards guarding the city gate, even their direct boss, the captain of the city gate, had to find a way to have a relationship with Dong Zhuo.

Entering the city gate, the sun in your eyes is still so prosperous, with dense buildings and endless pedestrians. But now Zhang Huang is no longer interested in these.

"Where is Uncle Dong now?"

The guard was stunned for a moment, after all, as far as he knew, Zhang Huang was Zhang Xiu, the nephew of Zhang Ji, a subordinate of his lord Dong Zhuo.

"The lord is in the house at the moment."

Zhang Huang was also stunned when he heard this: "Uncle Dong has a house in Luoyang? ”

Because as far as he knows, Dong Zhuo's family business is in Longxi, and there is no house in Luoyang.

"It was given by General He himself." The guard's face was full of pride as he said this.

Zhang Huang had a strange expression and followed the guard to Dong Zhuo's new mansion in Luoyang, the mansion that looked magnificent, and destroyed the general Dong's mansion.

I have to say that Zhang Huang was a little shocked, you must know that he had also lived in Xun You's mansion at the beginning, that was the Huangmen squire, and his status was even higher than that of the captains who held real power. But even so, Xun You's mansion is just an ordinary one-entry mansion, one door, one courtyard, and three houses.

But Dong Zhuo's mansion in front of him is divided into front and back yards, with ponds, pavilions, rockeries, and water pavilions in the courtyard, and the buildings are carved and painted, and the style is extraordinary.

It stands to reason that this broken general like Dong Zhuo has not hundreds but dozens in the court, and he is not qualified to live in such a magnificent and luxurious deep mansion compound, so it seems that General He Jin really values Dong Zhuo very much. He did not hesitate to reward him with such mansions.

After wandering around the labyrinthine corridor for a long time, the guard finally led Zhang Huang to the hall of the inner courtyard. At this time, Dong Zhuo had already received a report from the porter, and he was waiting for Zhang Huang at the door of the hall in person.

Ignoring the guard who was surprised that the lord Dong Zhuo was personally waiting outside the hall, Zhang Huang stepped forward. glanced at Dong Zhuo, who was smug with his hands on his back, and said with a smile: "Uncle, it seems that you are doing well." ”

"Hahaha." Dong Zhuo laughed, looking really in a good mood.

You don't have to guess that Zhang Huang can think of it. Dong Zhuo must have received a long benefit from General He Jin this time, but he didn't care about all this, he just cared about the matter mentioned by Dong Zhuo in the letter.

"Exactly...... What happened? Zhang Huang asked straight to the point.

Seeing Zhang Huang so boring. Dong Zhuo couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but he was also a hero, although he was overjoyed by the many benefits he received from General He Jin, but he could still restrain himself after all.

"Let's talk about this matter in the secret room."

reminded Zhang Huang, and Dong Zhuo led Zhang Huang to the secret room. After all, those things suspended in the air above Luoyang, monitoring the entire Jingshi, are not decorations, and if they talk about anything about He Jin and the Fifth Gong Yuan under their noses, I believe that it will not take a moment for someone to come to the door.

"Four days ago, I went to visit General He Jin."

After sitting down in the secret room, Dong Zhuo slowly talked about the cause of this incident: "The general wants to join the military, you know this matter, right?" ”

Zhang Huang nodded when he heard this, he had heard about this matter as early as when he followed Dong Zhuo to participate in the pacification of the Liangzhou Rebellion. And, more precisely, General He Jin doesn't just want to be in charge of the military, he wants to grasp all the authority of the military and all the military power in the world.

"There is opposition to this." Dong Zhuo continued in a calm tone.

"It's normal." Zhang Huang commented noncommittally.

After all, He Jin's actions are too big, and he controls all the military power in the world? Not to mention anything else, there will be a lot of opposition from the Northern Army and the Southern Army alone.

The Northern Army now exists in name only, so I won't talk about it too much, except for the Jinwu Army (the army that holds the Jinwu), which is responsible for patrolling and policing the city, only Bao Hong's cantonment camp remains.

And what is the Southern Army?

The Southern Army is an army stationed in Weiyang Palace, including the city defense army that manages the prevention and control of Jingshi City!

Weiyang Palace, that is the main hall of the Han Dynasty! It is the palace where the Son of Heaven is in the dynasty and hundreds of officials are in power!

Although in recent decades the Southern Army has gradually been nicknamed the honor guard, and is only responsible for standing guard at the palace gate, the palace hall, the drum tower, and other places, and is almost no longer responsible for going out to suppress thieves, it is undeniable that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the Southern Army still has the function of forming basic force.

What's more, compared with the Northern Army, the Southern Army has a more special status, it is mainly responsible for the security of the palace, but General He Jin actually intends to extend his hand to this army, and it is natural that it will be opposed.

"Are the ministers of the court?"

It's not that Zhang Huang hasn't heard of the deeds of the Qingliu party, it's really a bunch of stinky temper hard bones, and the two cruel party officials still can't make those seemingly weak ministers bend their waists.

"Yes, but not all." Glancing at Zhang Huang, Dong Zhuo lowered his voice and said, "The ones with stronger objections are the eunuchs headed by Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong. ”

"Eunuch?" Zhang Huang was stunned, and then relieved.

Thinking about it, the eunuchs of the past generations regarded the palace as their sphere of influence, and now that General He Jin wants to intervene in it, they naturally will not agree.

"But what does this have to do with the Fifth House Yuan?"

Dong Zhuo smiled faintly, and Gu Zuoyan said: "The general failed, because someone came forward to say something." ”

Zhang Huang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then realized that the 'someone' in Dong Zhuo's mouth was the fifth palace yuan.

"This is interesting." Zhang Huang laughed playfully.

One is a powerful general of the dynasty, and the other is a national teacher who has faded out of the world for hundreds of years and has unfathomable strength.

Thinking of the wonders, Zhang Huang really wished that he had a deep friendship with He Jin, so that he could say all the bad things about the fifth palace yuan in front of He Jin, so as to separate the relationship.

However, before Zhang Huang could finish his conjecture, Dong Zhuo's solemn expression made his whole person tremble.

"General...... Or you may want to get rid of the fifth house! ”

"What?!" (To be continued......)
