Chapter 68: Retirement

"Isn't it my yellow scarf that the sky is dead? Shouldn't the Taiping Holy Kingdom be established? ”

Zhang Jiao also saw that his two brothers were killed one after another, but Zhang Jiao was not sad at this time, but worried about whether the Taiping Holy Kingdom could be established.

"Is it wrong for me to set up the Taiping Holy Kingdom not as my family's surname, so that all the people in the world are equal, everyone has food, farmland, and clothing?"

For a moment, Zhang Jiao actually felt that all thoughts were lost, and he sighed, and suddenly snatched a long knife from the hand of the yellow turban wrestler next to him, which was to wipe it off his neck.

"Since Cangtian wants to destroy my Taiping Holy Kingdom, then sin me Zhang Jiao alone!"

roared at the heavens violently, and Zhang Jiao did not hesitate to commit suicide with a knife.

"Holy Father!"

Zhang Jiao himself is not a skilled general after all, and the speed of this time is not fast, but it was the roar that woke up the people next to him, and several loyal Yellow Turban believers rushed up to prevent Zhang Jiao from committing suicide.

Rao was like this, and the sharp long knife still slashed Zhang Jiao's neck, and a lot of blood flowed out.

"Holy Father, it is true that great things have not been accomplished, but now my Taiping believers are all over the Han Dynasty, and they all want to build a peaceful world of Datong together with the Holy Father. Now it's just a small setback, presumably it is a test of heaven for my Taiping Holy Kingdom, why did the Holy Father commit suicide? ”

Hearing the words of the big man beside him, Zhang Jiao was silent for a moment, and after a while, his eyes were bright again.

Zhang Jiao looked up, but saw that countless yellow turbans were desperately resisting Dong Zhuo's army, allowing Dong Zhuo's men to kill, and they never retreated.

"Yes, the sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand. How can my Taiping Holy Kingdom be impossible? ”

Zhang Jiao, who had regained his fighting spirit, stretched out his hand, and a touch of medicinal liquid appeared in his hand, and then wiped the wound on his neck, and the wound healed immediately, leaving only a pale red scar.

"The general of heaven is entrusted to the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, and then starve their bodies and skins. How can we be free from tribulation? After the tribulation, it is the time of the glorious achievements of my Taiping Holy Kingdom! ”

The words fell, but Zhang Jiao was completely calm.

"Pass my order, let the Yellow Turban wrestlers resist the incoming enemy, and the rest of the army will follow me and withdraw!"

With Zhang Jiao's order, he immediately saw that the Yellow Turban Lux was divided into two teams, one team of guards followed Zhang Jiao left and right, and the other team was entangled with the imperial army, regardless of life and death.

"Wen Wei, it's okay to let this corner leave like this?"

Dong Zhuo squinted slightly, the big knife in his hand kept swinging, slashing again and again, as if he had done his best.

But only those who know Dong Zhuo's own strength can understand that Dong Zhuo himself is also a first-class general, how could he be entangled by these yellow turban wrestlers and unable to get out?

"Zhang Jiao is a problem for the court, not for the lord, the lord is ambitious, why worry about the court?"

Although Li Ru is a scribe, his own martial arts are not bad, although he can't fight with the army in front of the battle, but it is not difficult to save his life among ordinary soldiers.

"What's more, if there is no Zhang Jiao and others, how can the imperial court be reused by the lord? Don't you smell all the birds, hide the good bow, die the cunning rabbit, and cook the lackeys? ”

"What Wen Wei said is very true."

Dong Zhuo nodded, and he no longer had the heart to chase and kill Zhang Jiao.

On the other side, Wei Tao is also powerless, originally the army he led was just forcibly captured Guangzong, and then chased Zhang Liang all the way, and now people are sleepy and tired, after killing Zhang Liang, there is no longer the ability to pursue Zhang Jiao.

"Don't let Zhang Jiao run!"

But at this time, Liu Guanzhang and the three of them struggled to catch up.

However, although the three of them were surrounded by countless yellow turbans at the beginning, with the courage of Liu Guanzhang and the three of them, the Yellow Turban Army was helpless for a while.

When Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang died one after another, the morale of countless yellow turbans declined, and they had no choice but to kill Liu Guanzhang and the others, but they were killed by the three of them again and again.

And after the three of them saw Zhang Jiao retreat and escape, their eyes lit up.

If he can get the merit of killing Zhang Jiao, plus Liu Bei himself is a member of the Han family, won't he still be valued by the imperial court?

Thinking of this, Liu Guanzhang naturally worked harder and chased straight towards Zhang Jiao.

Zhang Jiao fled, so the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army naturally had no morale, except for those most die-hard believers who fought hard for the Taiping Holy Country, many Yellow Turbans had already fled in all directions.

The victory is decided!

Lu Zhinai is a veteran general in the army, and in such a situation, it is natural that the Yellow Turban Army will not be able to turn the tables, and immediately ordered someone to kill all those die-hard Yellow Turban Army.

They are all battle arrays, and there is naturally nothing unbearable at this time.

"Alas......"

However, Wei Tao still sighed secretly.

Although these Yellow Turban elites are not strictly disciplined, their own foundation is not bad, especially if they have been in the battle formation, experienced life and death, and are by no means comparable to ordinary villagers.

If it can be recruited into an army, with a few months of training, a strong army can be formed.

It's a pity, not to mention that Lu Zhi is watching from the side at this time, even if it is all the way by himself, Wei Tao does not dare to surrender these Yellow Turban soldiers at will.

At this time, after Dong Zhuo's rebellion, the prestige of the Han family was completely destroyed, if Wei Tao dared to recruit troops and horses, then I am afraid that in a few days, I am afraid that the hat of rebellion will be put on his head.

Not to mention the intention to recruit the Yellow Turban, that is the biggest crime among the major crimes, as long as you dare to do it, then the order to kill the nine clans is probably to come from the imperial court.

As for not letting the court know.

If people don't know, unless they do it, let alone such a huge thing, it can't be concealed at all.

"What is on Wei Gongzi's mind?"

But at this time, Li Ru smiled and hit his horse to Wei Tao's side, at this time the war was over, and it was more about cleaning the battlefield.

"What's on your mind?"

Wei Tao responded with a smile, but when he saw the look on Li Ru's face that seemed to be smiling, he couldn't help but feel a little awe-inspiring in his heart.

The person in front of him is the number one strategist of the day, and it is not so easy to fool the past.

"I see, I think Wei Gongzi is also worried about that horn, I don't know how Wei Gongzi thinks that my Han can cheer up after this chaos?"

Li Ru smiled again, but he didn't care about Wei Tao's perfunctory, but what he said shocked Wei Tao's heart even more.

"What do you mean, Mr. Lee? Now my Han is strong, and the princes of the court are struggling, and Zhu Hu does not dare to commit it. Even if there is this corner that does not know the current affairs, it is only extinguished in an instant, why did Mr. say this! ”

A person like Li Ru will definitely not speak easily, and Wei Tao is ready to deal with it.

"Huh...... It's the same thing, but I'm abrupt. ”

But to Wei Tao's surprise, Li Ru smiled slightly, and then nodded that it was no longer a word, which made Wei Tao a little stunned.

Wei Tao naturally didn't know that when Li Ru returned to Dong Zhuo's side, he said to Dong Zhuo.

"This son is good at martial arts, the leader is also rigorous, and he is more cautious, at this age, if he can accept it, he can help him, if he can't, he will be a trouble! Lord, be careful! ”

Wei Tao naturally didn't know that Li Ru was using these words to test himself.

However, if Wei Tao can hear this conclusion, he must be shocked, this conclusion is indeed somewhat consistent with his own temperament.

Zhang Jiao's escape was a matter of great importance, and soon Lu Zhi also sent someone to investigate, but in the end, he only saw Liu Guan and Zhang return with a depressed face.

"Have you ever taken that horned bandit?"

Lu Zhi didn't care about so much false courtesy, and when he saw the three of them, he asked loudly.

"I don't know what method the thief bird used, he just didn't see it when he fled into a mountain forest, if it was extremely hateful!"

Zhang Fei was born with a loud voice, and he yelled when he heard Lu Zhi's inquiry.

"If Zhang Jiao's bandit leader is not removed, the world will not be peaceful, I should block Jizhou and prevent Zhang Jiao from escaping here!"

Lu Zhi quickly made a decision, but it was meaningless for Liu Guan and Zhang to do so, especially Liu Bei assured Lu Zhi that he would do his best to capture Zhang Jiao.

But Wei Tao didn't have much interest.

That horn is also the head of a sect, and it has all kinds of means, once it escapes into the mountains and forests, it is not easy to find it, not to mention that the other party still has to be captured?

Therefore, at this time, Wei Tao stepped forward and gave up.

"Lu Zhonglang, the reason why I came here is to help Lu Zhonglang attack Guangzong, and now that Guangzong has been down, although there is still that corner bandit leader who has not been captured, but it is only a matter of time before I think of Lu Zhonglang's ability. Therefore, he wanted to retire and leave Jizhou. ”

"This ......"

Lu Zhi touched his beard, but was silent for a while.

After these days of ordering, Lu Zhi is still very optimistic about Wei Tao, not to mention that the relationship between Lu Zhi and Wang Yun and others is not bad, and he is naturally willing to see Wei Tao's meritorious service, but now he feels a little pity for Wei Tao.

"That's fine, but you're going to return to Yuzhou?"

But soon Lu Zhi thought that Wei Tao was a teenager after all, and if he really made such a great achievement, it would be half of the benefits and disadvantages, but it would be so best.

"Qi Lu Zhonglang, I want to return to Chenliu, but before that, I will go to Yuzhou to hand over the soldiers and horses to General Meng De first. I'm just a magistrate now, and if it's an emergency, it's just that. Now that the main force of the Yellow Turban has been executed, it is very inappropriate to command the soldiers and horses. ”

Hearing Wei Tao's words, Lu Zhi naturally nodded with satisfaction, and then happily sent it.

However, to Wei Tao's surprise, Dong Zhuo also said goodbye and left at this time, but Dong Zhuo left the imperial court reinforcements he brought, and just left with his own people.

And after the situation stabilized, Lu Zhi also quickly reported to the imperial court, and even presented the heads of Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao, and with Lu Zhi as a person, he did not have the slightest credit for greedy ink, and it was Wei Tao and Dong Zhuo who killed the two respectively.

As soon as the news arrived at the imperial court, there was a joy inside and outside the imperial court, and Emperor Ling of Han issued an order to Lu Zhi to intensify the encirclement and suppression of Zhang Jiao on the one hand, and on the other hand, he issued an order to reward Wei Tao and Dong Zhuo.
