September 27 of the first year of Zhongping, in the city of Guangzong.

Zhang Jiao's palace is located on the official temple of the former official palace, dozens of yellow flags are planted around, there are high-level special troops Yellow Turban wrestlers standing guard all around, and several patrol teams pass by every quarter of an hour, and even a mosquito can't fly in, and it is even more impossible for people to go in under the condition of hiding people's eyes and ears.

The Yellow Turban Lux is the backbone of Taiping Dao, and will only obey Zhang Jiao's orders alone, and the orders of the rest of the people will not work for them, unless Zhang Jiao has told them in advance, the Yellow Turban Lux will obey the orders of others a little.

Guangzong was once again surrounded by the imperial army, whether it was the lord of the player's power or the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai, everyone was in danger, and they hadn't seen Zhang Jiao much in the last month or two, and the players thought that Zhang Jiao would die of illness in October, and they immediately felt very pessimistic. And the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai just felt that Zhang Jiao's illness was a minor illness, after all, Zhang Jiao relied on practicing medicine to save people and preach in his early years, and claimed to be a general of Tiangong and a great sage and good teacher, protected by the way of heaven, so naturally he would be fine.

The Yellow Turban commanders hoped that Zhang Jiao could give a way to break through, or come out to meet the Yellow Turban Army, which would greatly boost morale and repel the attack of the imperial army. But no matter how they asked to see him, Zhang Liang, the general of Rengong, turned him away, saying that the great virtuous and good teacher was ill and it was inconvenient to see people, and he had to refuse the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai almost every few days.

Only Zhang Liang knows the truth, his eldest brother Zhang Jiao is actually terminally ill, and one day Zhang Jiao personally calculated it for himself, saying that he can't survive this winter, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive this October. Zhang Jiao is a big man who is not afraid of death, and he has not much time, he has been dead for a hundred, but Zhang Liang still has a lot of time, he doesn't want to die so early, and he doesn't want to be captured by the people of the court to behead and split the body of five horses, so Zhang Liang has been very anxious these days, hoping that Zhang Jiao can come up with a way to repel the imperial army.

However, things slowly improved, first news came from northern Hebei, and a large number of Yellow Turban forces responded and went south to support Guangzong, with millions of people, making the original dead end a glimmer of hope. Although these people are all player forces, Zhang Liang usually looks down on player forces, thinking that they are dragging their feet by joining Taiping Dao to participate in the uprising, and they are not as good as Zhang Jiao's disciples and Qu Shuai. But now the Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan, Dongjun and Nanyang has been defeated, Zhang Jiao's disciples, Yellow Turban Qu Shuai died, and the besieged were surrounded, and they couldn't reach out to support Guangzong at all, but Zhang Liang thought that the most unreliable players came to support, and they didn't come to go through the motions, but came from various counties with command and premeditation, so that Zhang Liang saw hope, which was much better than the pessimistic player forces in Guangzong City.

Another good news is that Zhang Jiao's condition has improved in the past two days, and he looks much better, but his body is still a little weak. On this day, Zhang Jiao also met with many Yellow Turban commanders and player power leaders, announcing that the Yellow Turban Army was about to fight to the death with the imperial court, and Zhang Jiao would personally sit in charge of the Chinese army and command many Yellow Turban soldiers to fight.

Only the high-level leaders of the Yellow Turban knew the news, and the Yellow Turban commanders were naturally overjoyed, their faith was still there, and there was still hope for the Yellow Turban Army. And on the side of the Yellow Turban players, the atmosphere is a little different, doesn't it mean that Zhang Jiao will die of illness in October, how does it seem that he is alive and well now, and he personally leads the troops to fight, it doesn't look like a dying person at all, could it be that a player secretly helped Zhang Jiao cure the root of the disease? Although the Yellow Turban players and the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai have different ideas, they also know that the reinforcements from northern Hebei are coming, and they have great confidence in this expedition, and at the same time do a good job of keeping the players under them confidential.

However, when everyone left, Zhang Jiao left Zhang Liang alone, and his bright eyes revealed pessimism, and said: "Third brother, I'm afraid that next, Taiping Dao will be handed over to you and your second brother." ”

"Big brother, what do you mean by this? Aren't you fine now? Zhang Liang panicked, he was just a reckless man with force, but no matter how stupid he was, he could roughly guess the meaning of what Zhang Jiao said.

"My time is running out, I don't know how long this body will last, but I definitely won't be able to survive this winter." Zhang Jiao said: "Instead of leaving like this, it is better to give full play to my last residual heat, so that the seeds of Taiping Dao can survive the coldest winter in front of me." ”

Zhang Liang was a little incredulous, because although Zhang Jiao in front of him could not be said to be alive, it would definitely not give people the feeling of a dying person, at most he was just recovering from a serious illness, but he was still in good spirits.

"My time has come, and what you see today is actually me who has returned to the light, the last struggle of the dying man." From beginning to end, the only thing that remained unchanged was his eyes, clear and bright, even when talking about his life and death.

"When I was cultivating the Taiping Technique, I stole a forbidden technique from an ancient book that can make people burst out with power beyond their peak when they are on the verge of death. It's just that this forbidden technique has one of the biggest side effects, that is, no matter whether the injury recovers or not, you will definitely die later. I have already received the news that Huangfu Song sent a part of the officers and soldiers of the imperial court to fight our holy army in the area of Boluojin, and there are not many Yulin army and forbidden army left in Quzhou to confront the holy army, and the officers and soldiers on the north and south sides are also ordinary soldiers and horses, so there is nothing to fear. If you want the Taiping Dao to continue to spread, then this battle must be won, and the Holy Army in Guangzong City alone can't do it, if you can launch the Yellow Turban World again..."Zhang Jiao pondered.

"But big brother, if you use the yellow scarf again, you will die." Zhang Liang's mood was a little broken, his brother who had always respected him was about to die, and he was brave but not resourceful enough to share the pressure for Zhang Jiao, so he could only let Zhang Jiao sacrifice himself to complete the great cause of Taiping Dao.

"Third brother, you have to learn from your second brother, you must focus on the cause of Taiping Dao and the overall situation." Zhang Jiao stopped Zhang Liang and said: "From the moment we revolt, we can't go back, anyone in our Taiping Dao must be prepared to sacrifice for Taiping Dao, not only me, maybe you and your second brother may pay for their lives in this uprising." In order for the people of the world to get rid of the exploitation of this decadent Han Dynasty, for the sake of the dead holy army and the future of Taiping Dao, I Zhang Jiao is willing to give my life. ”

"Third brother, tomorrow you will send an order to all the commanders, let them launch a general attack on the officers and soldiers stationed outside Qu Zhou under your banner, and then when I go out, I will personally appear to encourage the holy army to fight. In this battle, either the officers and soldiers will be annihilated, or our holy army will be destroyed, I hope you will fight hard. ”

......

The Yellow Turban Army from several counties in northern Hebei, under the leadership of more than a dozen large guilds, was divided into two parts. A part of the three million Yellow Turban Army remained in Boluojin in the north of Quzhou County to fight and contain the army sent by the imperial court. Bo Luojin has no danger to defend, the Yellow Turban players burst out with amazing combat effectiveness in a desperate situation, and the number of the Yellow Turban Army is twice that of the imperial army, the Bo Luojin front line is in an emergency, and Huangfu Song urgently dispatched a court elite army from Quzhou County to support the defense line along the Zhangshui River. The other part of the Yellow Turban Army forcibly crossed Zhangshui and surrounded Jingxian, and in a few days it would be able to capture Jingxian and go south to join the Yellow Turban Army of Guangzong. It's just that what they didn't expect was that Zhang Jiao was so ill that he couldn't hold out until they went south to converge, so he led the Guangzong Yellow Turban Army in advance to launch a general attack on the imperial army stationed outside Quzhou County.

Although the reinforcements in northern Hebei could not join forces with the Yellow Turban Army of Guangzong, they also played an important role in dragging down a lot of imperial army and forcing Huangfu Song to divide his troops against the Yellow Turban Army in Bo Luojin and Jingxian.

In order to continue to exert pressure on Guangzong, Huangfu Song had already led his army from Quzhou County, crossed Zhangshui, and stationed near Qi County in present-day Hebei Province. A small piece of land between Zhangshui and Qinghe is full of the smoke of war, and the so-called mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, even a small soldier has felt this oppressive atmosphere. 2k reading web
