Chapter 26: Peace
In the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo jumped left and right like this, and did not win much merit before becoming "Lu Zhi's second" and was removed by the emperor.
Of course, in comparison, Lu Zhi is a real resourceful person, and Dong Zhuo is like a "little white" on battlefields such as Guangzong.
Liu Qi couldn't worry about the overall situation, so he quickly worried about himself.
"The general ordered, all the recruited townsmen, all put down their affairs, starting tomorrow, with the equipment built in recent days, to seize Guangzong City!"
Half an hour later, when a military official came to Liu Qi's camp and conveyed the order, Liu Qi knew that their two days of comfort were over.
He thought that he could be born like this, and after Dong Zhuo, the court changed generals, and when the Yellow Turban Army was weak and destroyed, he looked for an opportunity to find a war merit for the people of Du Township.
But unexpectedly, that night, Dong Zhuo's personal military order made people feel worried and powerless.
Born in this world, the word "cannibalism" is written everywhere.
If it weren't for the fact that he was the head of a pavilion and led dozens of good people in Du Township, plus he could meet Zhuge Jue, I am afraid that as early as the first day he came to the front line, he would lie under Guangzong City forever like many people.
It is very difficult for a non-out-of-house family, or a wealthy family with a local name and surname, to survive in troubled times. Meritorious achievements are even more foolish dreams.
On the road from Gai County to Guangzong, Liu Qi also saw for the first time that in the troubled times of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, what is called human life is not as good as grass.
Died of war, starvation, disease......
There are too many ways for ordinary people to die, and I am afraid that only the powerful people who are high up can live a nourishing life.
Just like in the opposite Guangzong City, the Daliang sage Zhang Jiao, his original intention, or really for the poor people, if it can really change this era from the root, it would be good. But apparently, it still didn't work out. But it directly accelerated the fall of the Han Dynasty.
If there is no Zhang Jiao, it is already full of decay and needs a wise emperor to vigorously innovate the big man, and it is just a matter of surviving.
People often say that the world is peaceful and prosperous, but when will today's Han Dynasty see the real peace?
After receiving the military order, Liu Qi gathered everyone and explained the reason.
Then, he stood alone outside the camp, looking at the fire on the city of Guangzong in the distance.
I don't know what Zhang Jiao is doing in Guangzong City at the moment.
Just like Liu Qi, a small person, who was worried about the safety of himself and his subordinate Du Xiang villagers, Zhang Jiaoyu Guangzong City was also worried about the future of the Yellow Turban Army.
Now, nearly half a year has passed since the incident.
Within half a year, as in the early days, most of the men and horses he led were like a bamboo.
But then, the lack of a unified and powerful command allowed the Han army to break through one by one.
In addition, within the Yellow Turban Army led by him, there are many short-sighted people, and they may fight for their own interests...... One thing after another, the Yellow Turban Army has reached the point where it is today, and there are outstanding generals of the Han Army such as Lu Zhi under the command, so it is not unjust to be defeated.
But every time I think about it, he has accumulated for more than ten years, and he should have taken advantage of the situation, but he was harmed by the villain, and he started in a hurry, which planted the cause for today's fruit.
Zhang Jiao, a hero, inevitably felt remorse in his heart.
On the siege of Guangzong today, Zhang Jiao actually expected it, and he made his younger brother Zhang Bao stationed in Quyang and became horns with Guangzong, which was to prevent a certain city from encountering a crisis, so as to do rescue.
It is a pity that the main force of the Han army is too tightly defended, and there are recruits from all sides, and a steady stream of troops are coming to the battlefield.
And he himself, Dong Zhuo, the current commander of the Han army, is not afraid.
Dong Zhuo is a wild wolf walking on the grassland, and he doesn't know too much about the fighting methods of the Central Plains battlefield.
What he Zhang Jiao was really afraid of was Lu Zhi, Lu Zhi even broke the troops he led, defeated and disabled his troops, even if the soldiers surrounded Guangzong, it seemed to be very orderly. If Lu Zhi's method is continued, Guangzong City will not be far away, and he and the troops under his leadership in the city will also usher in the end of the world.
However, it was Dong Zhuo who came, and now he will only take it regardless of casualties, which provides respite for the Yellow Turban Army in the city, which is exactly what he wants to see.
And in addition to Lu Zhi, Zhang Jiao is also worried about one person, that is, Huangfu Song.
In the past few months, Huangfu Song has also won great victories in several other battlefields, killing countless Yellow Turban Army, which makes Zhang Jiao very heartbroken.
Under the flickering lights in the house.
Zhang Jiao was half-held on the sickbed, and what he held in his hand was the information that the city had tried to obtain from outside the city in the past two days.
After looking at it for a while, he felt panicked in his heart and coughed his hands unconsciously.
After stretching out his hand, he looked at the bloodshot palm of his hand, and sighed that his time was running out.
If he is no longer there, what will happen to the Yellow Turbans?
What about war?
Zhang Jiao also understands that he himself is the soul of the Yellow Turban Army, and if he has three strengths and two weaknesses, he is afraid that the Yellow Turban Army's faith will collapse and he will have no strength to fight again.
Thinking of this, Zhang Jiao spoke to the chamberlain, calling the attendant to say something.
There was a sudden knock on the door, and then his younger brother Zhang Liang stepped in.
There are three brothers, Zhang Jiao is the eldest, Zhang Bao is the second son of the Zhang family, and Zhang Liang is the third.
The second brother Zhang Bao has a steady temperament and is known for his strategy, which is why Zhang Jiao can rest assured that he can lead the army all the way, and the trip to Quyang is a heavy task. The third brother Zhang Liang has a strong temperament, is above the military, and has a little strategy, Zhang Jiao is worried about this, so he called Zhang Liang to his side so that he can take care of it personally.
Observing that the eldest brother Zhang Jiao's face was even more ugly than yesterday, and his sickly color was even more serious, Zhang Liang was frightened, hurriedly walked into the sickbed, helped Zhang Jiao up, and said:
"Brother, as the doctor said, you should rest more, and you must not work so hard again.
You are the backbone of our Yellow Turban Army, and you must take good care of your body.
Now in this world, enslaved by the Yan and Han courts, how difficult the people are, only you, eldest brother, can lead us to prosper this yellow world and save the suffering people in the world.
But be sure to take care of yourself! ”
The three Zhang brothers are very united, and their looks are similar, but their tempers are very different.
His younger brother Zhang Liang was so concerned, and Zhang Jiao understood his intentions early.
At the age of forty and six, he was not particularly healthy, which was mainly caused by the fact that he had been preaching from side to side for more than ten years. Since this year, I have become more and more unbearable, accumulating into illness, just like now.
For Zhang Liang's support, Zhang Jiao slowly sat down in the small case below, drank a mouthful of dense medicinal soup, shook his head and said: "When people are a year old, they have to serve the old."
But with my body, you don't have to worry too much.
And birth, old age, sickness and death are just human nature.
Even if I die, for us and the Yellow Turbans, it is not the point, only with the joint efforts of the Yellow Turbans, this world will eventually usher in real peace! ”
