Chapter 334: The Faith of the Holy Maiden
It was determined that the enemy at the foot of the mountain was indeed attacking at the first time, and similarly, the existence of ghosts on the mountain was also determined. Sun Quan tried to recall history in his mind, but unfortunately, he really didn't know much about the leaders of the later Yellow Turbans, except for the more famous Montenegro Zhang Yan and Guan Hai, Sun Quan had only heard of Liao Hua, Zhou Cang, and Pei Yuanshao, but these few belonged to the category of scattered people.
Guan Hai is still encircling the North Sea, which can basically be ruled out. Black Mountain Zhang Yan is very suspicious, if the mountain is Zhang Yan's person, then Zhang Yan's purpose is to use force to forcibly integrate the Yellow Turban, he knows that Zhang Ning convened this party, he must be able to come up with something, so Zhang Yan had no choice but to be Zhang Ning to take the lead, so he could only choose to go to extremes.
Thinking of this, Sun Quan rushed back and communicated with Zhang Ning.
"Preliminary judgment, there are probably three possibilities. I remember you said before that the people who have not yet arrived are Zhang Yan, the leader of the Montenegrin Army, and Gong Du, the leader of the Runan Army. If the enemy below is Zhang Yan, then the inner ghost may be Yang Feng, who also belongs to the Black Mountain Army on the mountain. And if the enemy is Gong Du, the inner ghost should be He Man and Liu Pi, who also came from Runan. Of course, I don't know much about what is going on inside you, and perhaps there are others who are close to these two forces in private. I don't know if I thought too much, but at the beginning, I found that everyone here was so friendly to me, and I thought there might be something wrong here. β
Sun Quan's meaning is obvious, someone's kindness is deliberately faked, and the more abnormal it is, the more likely it is to be problematic. Zhang Ning thought in advance that someone else was giving her face, but she was too naΓ―ve.
Sun Quan said a lot on the side, Zhang Ning always kept a calm face, I don't know what she was thinking, maybe she was still unwilling to accept such a "truth",
"What could be the third possibility?" Zhang Ning asked suddenly.
Sun Quan grinned, he knew that this was Zhang Ning's subconscious evasion, she hoped that it would be the third possibility, she didn't want to believe that her relatives would do this kind of cannibalistic thing,
"The third possibility, that's the worst possibility." Sun Quan looked at Zhang Ning and said.
Zhang Ning turned his head sharply, gritted his teeth and said,
"You say!"
Sun Quan rolled his eyes, Zhang Ning didn't want to die, so let her die, and said directly,
"The third possibility is that the enemy below is the imperial army, in other words, someone on the mountain has completely betrayed Taiping Dao!"
As long as you are willing to surrender, the other party may still leave you alive, especially a symbolic but powerless character like Zhang Ning, as long as she does not die, the possibility of surviving is not small. But if it is the imperial army that comes, it is a real "foreign enemy", then some small minions, they may let it go, and there are high-level Yellow Turbans with names and surnames, and absolutely none of them can escape. With the help of the inner ghost, are you afraid of the fish that slips through the net?
After hearing this, Sun Quan suddenly found that Zhang Ning had calmed down. This is a kind of eerie calm that is depressed, but it highlights the turmoil in Zhang Ning's heart.
At this time, Sun Quan suddenly remembered something, and he also understood why Zhang Ning had such a big reaction. It turned out that when Zhang Jiao first revolted, his plan was very perfect, all the Yellow Turbans gathered secretly, and even there were people in the palace as internal responses, however, at this most critical moment, Tang Zhou, a disciple of Zhang Jiao, reported to the imperial court, causing Ma Yuanyi, a major leader of the Yellow Turbans, to be arrested and martyred, and the inner lines of the DPRK and China were also eradicated one after another, so Zhang Jiao had no choice but to revolt in advance if he was not fully prepared, otherwise, the final result is really hard to say.
Since then, traitors have become a taboo inside the Yellow Turban and in Zhang Ning's heart. It's nothing for you to fight inwardly, it's okay if you don't listen to commands, and if you don't obey discipline, but when a traitor defects to the court and betrays his comrades, then 10,000 times is not enough to relieve his hatred!
"I have a question." Zhang Ning, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, "If it is the imperial court army, which prince's army will it be?" Yuan Shu is now bent on fighting with Liu Biao, Kong Rong is too busy to take care of himself, Liu Bei sent troops to Beihai to help, so geographically speaking, the only ones left who can appear here are Tao Qian, Cao Cao, Gongsun Zhan, and Yuan Shao. What good will it do these princes who have come to us to destroy us? β
Zhang Ning at this moment is terrifyingly calm, now today, it is no longer an era when the local army has to send troops to exterminate the bandits under the order of the imperial court, the princes are unprofitable and thankless, who will do it?
Sun Quan nodded,
"You have a point. In terms of motives, the possibility of being a court army is indeed the least. It is impossible for Cao Cao to march here unconsciously, and Tao Qian does not seem to be a person who will take the initiative to attack, only Yuan Shao, who is so happy, may have the possibility of doing this, but the current center of gravity of Yuan Shao's camp should still be in the north, and it is still early to expand to the east, and Yuan Shao has so many think tanks under his command that he will not make such a high-minded decision. Senior sister, it seems that you are very sober, so in your opinion, who is our most likely enemy at the moment? β
"Zhang Yan is very proud, I believe that he has not arrived for a long time, not because he is doing something in secret, but because he has no intention of coming over at all. In contrast, He Man and Liu Bi have arrived, but Gong Du, who also belongs to Runan, has never appeared, and he is the most suspicious. Over the years, the Runan Army has not had much contact with us, but this time it has been so active, and now that I think about it, there are indeed some problems. Zhang Ning calmly analyzed.
Sun Quan's eyes narrowed,
"So, the inner ghosts are He Man and Liu Bi?"
Zhang Ning turned to Sun Quan,
"Does it really matter who the inner ghost is now? The mountain was immediately attacked, and this time the leaders of all walks of life only brought a few cronies, and it was estimated that they could only gather a few hundred people. I don't want to be entangled with the inner ghost because of a momentary personal grudge and miss the best time to escape. Only when people are still there can there be a day to make a comeback! Zhang Ning said seriously.
Sun Quan's heart moved,
"So, Senior Sister, do you want to let the leaders of all walks of life flee separately later? So no matter who is the inner ghost, at least they can't harm anyone else? β
"That's right." Zhang Ning nodded, "As for who is the inner ghost, as long as you find out which side of the mountain is under the mountain afterwards, won't everyone know it in their hearts?" β
"But in this way, you can be regarded as a complete face-turner, right?" Sun Quan couldn't help but say.
"What's the use of people who don't like it?! In the end, I believe that the rest is what I really need in Taiping Dao! β
Zhang Ning decisively stopped the loss, and did not drag the mud and water at all, but it made Sun Quan look up to him a lot. The tiger father has no dog girl, and Zhang Jiao taught a good daughter.
"Senior Sister is indeed a person who does great things." Sun Quan exclaimed, "There is only one last question left, how can we, including the other leaders, escape under heavy siege?" β
Zhang Ning was stunned, and the Holy Maiden of Taiping Dao, who was still very calm and wise just now, looked at Sun Quan in amazement.
"How to escape, junior brother, don't you have any idea?"
Hearing this, Sun Quan was even more stunned than Zhang Ning,
"Why did I have an idea? Didn't we all find a secret passage to the bottom of the mountain? β
"Then junior brother, how did you escape from the mountain behind the White Horse Temple under the nose of Cihang Jingzhai?" Zhang Ning asked.
Sun Quan rolled his eyes, good guy, this woman thinks of herself as an escape expert. I said how could she be so calm, it turned out that her confidence actually came from such an outrageous place!
