In the sixth year of Guanghe, in the summer and April, Zhang Jiao's disciple Jinan Tang Zhou was the first, the Han court was shaken, the country was angry and horse-hunting. Yukimoto Yoshinori ran away and entered Yingchuan Taihei Road, but 3,000 people were arrested in Kyoto Taihei Dao, all of whom were in the city.

The three princes of the state, the commander of the school, the provincial guards and the people, all those who believe in the Taiping Dao, are all killed, and the people of Kyoto are panicked for a while.

Governor Zhang Jiao, the great sage and good teacher of Hebei Taiping Road, has been revealed, galloping in all directions in the morning and night. For a while, the world was full of peace, and they all wore yellow scarves as their banners. The official mansion was burned, the prefecture and county were lost, the chief officials fled, and between the ten months, the world changed color, and the Beijing division was shaken.

At the same time, Zhang Jiao called himself General Tiangong, Zhang Bao called General Digong, and Zhang Liang called General Rengong. In addition, Ma Yuanyi was named the divine envoy, and Zhang Chong was the first righteous meritorious person of Mount Tai, and he was awarded the "Cupola General", and all parties were rewarded for their peace.

In terms of the Han court, he also quickly made a meritorious contribution to the arrest of thieves by Yin He in Henan, moved to the general, sealed the Marquis of Shen, and led the left and right Yulin five battalions to repair the equipment and take the town of Jing. At the same time, the establishment of the eight officials in Kyoto was expanded, and the eight officials were set up. He also sent the world's elite soldiers, sending Lu Zhi to ask Zhang Jiao, Huang Fu Song to fight Huang Fu Song in the left Zhonglang, and Zhu Jun to ask for the Yingchuan Yellow Turban.

But soon the bad news came, and the counties were too shou Feishu Kyoto, saying: "The demons are not afraid of death, their fathers and brothers are annihilated, and their children are in groups. Counties can't be systematic." That is to say, the county has no owner, and the king's order is cut off.

Liu Hong was frightened and helpless, and called a meeting of the ministers.

It was also at this time that Zuo Zhonglang said to Huangfu Song:

"It is advisable to solve ***, and to benefit from the hidden money, the stables and horses in the West Garden, and the sergeant of the class."

There is also a regular servant Lu Qiang who said:

"The party in the world has accumulated for a long time, and people have a lot of grievances. If you don't forgive for a long time, you will conspire with Zhang Jiao, and you will become bigger, and you will regret it and be hopeless."

These words finally made Liu Hong change his attitude towards the party members, and gave amnesty to the party members all over the world, and returned all the migrants, but Zhang Jiao did not forgive.

This news of dismissing the party members is like nectar after a long drought, making the party members all over the world rush to tell each other. Aren't they condescending to do things for the sake of this day? They have long known that as long as the Taiping Road side is reversed, the country will no longer dare to treat them as cattle and horses, and sometimes it is still very useful to raise thieves with self-respect.

But they also know that they can't keep raising thieves, and now it's time to kill thieves, otherwise they really let Taiping Dao win the world, what future do they have for Confucian scholars? Therefore, for a time, the Gongqing Shi Dafu Party returned to their hometowns, armed their own troops with chariots, horses, and soldiers, and went to Kyoto to form an alliance with the Han Court Expeditionary Army, and began to suppress Taipingdao.

On the side of Taiping Road, since the night galloped all directions, the development has been particularly smooth.

Tiangong general Zhang Jiao started from Julu, Digong general Zhang Bao started from Quyang, Rengong general Zhang Liang started from Jizhou Guangzong, Chongtian general Zhang Chong started from Mount Tai, worshipping grandsons from Jinan, Guan Hai from Beihai, Zhang Rao from the plain, Xu He from Le'an, Sima Ju from Qi State, Guan Cheng from Donglai.

In terms of merging states, Guo Tai started in Hedong. Yanzhou: Buji started in Dongjun. Jingzhou, Zhang Mancheng, Zhao Hong, Han Zhong, and Sun Xia started in Nanyang. In Yuzhou, Bocai started in Yingchuan, and Pengtuo started in Runan. In Yizhou, Ma Xiang and Zhao Yi beeped. Yangzhou: Wu Huan started to Ji, and Chen lost Wu County. ….

For a time, the world can be described as full of smoke, and there are even more people who take advantage of the situation, in a word, the world is in chaos.

On 3 April, Zhang Chong received a letter from the great sages and good teachers of Hebei, in which Zhang Jiao explained the situation of the Hebei Sect and that they had now taken Julu County and were attacking Wei County. The strategy of the Hebei Governor was to take Wei County, then they would attack Hanoi, and then follow the Yellow River and go through Mengjin Pass to Luoyang.

Then Zhang Jiao tried to encircle Zhang Chong in the letter, not only allowed him to be the name of the general, but also awarded Zhang Chong the first merit of the uprising, the purpose of which was to let Zhang Chong out of Mount Tai, cross Jinan, wade through the water, enter Pingyuan County, and Zhang Rao joined forces and then crossed the river from the Yellow River crossing plain, and then camped with the Hebei headquarters in Yecheng, and then attacked Hanoi together. As long as Hanoi is defeated, he Zhang Chong will be able to go to Luo with his three Zhang Jiao brothers.

By now, Zhang Chong basically knows the strategy of Taiping Dao.

That is, Zhang Jiao did not plan to converge with the Taiping Dao of all directions, but planned to attack Luoyang from three directions.

One

It is Hebei Road, that is, from Julu, to Wei County, and then to Hanoi, through Mengjindu, and into Luoyang.

There is also Zhang Mancheng's Nanyang Army, which went north through Funiu Mountain, entered Ye County, and then went north along Rushui all the way to the south gate of Luoyang, Guangcheng Pass. This road was also taken by Sun Jian when he later attacked Dong Zhuo.

The last one is Ma Yuanyi, Bo Cai, and Peng Tuo's Ruying Army, they can go north along Yingshui, pass through Yangcheng, pass through the Songshan Mountain Range, and as long as they lay the Yuyuan Pass between the Songshan Mountain Range, they can go straight to the Luoyang Basin.

It can be said that this road is the least, and it is also the most promising to go to Luo. This is also the reason why Taiping Dao has been developing in the Ruying area for more than ten years, and Ma Yuanyi went directly to Yingchuan after escaping from Kyoto.

From this point of view, Taiping Dao's plan is to attack from three heads and advance at the same time. Zhang Chong was not sure, so he called many of his staff to the shogunate.

This time it was a major event related to the future development of the Taishan Army and even the survival of the life, and the staff members who presided over the various places rushed back to Fenggao to participate in this meeting.

In addition to the chief generals at all levels such as Guan Yu, Zhang Dan and other generals, the staff members with names and surnames also came. Du Man came from Mount Tai with Wu Guan and Shan Ming. Shan Ming was the Tang Zhou student who saved the lives of Zhang Chong and others by putting a rope on the tower of Dongping Ling City. Later, after he entered the mountain, he followed Wu Guan to be responsible for the propaganda in the mountain, and this time he also went out of the mountain with Duman to listen to this conference.

Then there was Tao Dian who returned to Fenggao with Zhang Chong, although he was a newcomer, Zhang Chong valued him very much, so he directly let him participate in this conference, which can be described as a core staff member of the Taishan Army.

Finally, there are many staff members who stayed in Fenggao, including the chief military officer He Kui, the military law chief Zhao Da, the secretary Shi Fan Chang, the chief Bo Yanzhuang, the secretary Gao Sheng, the Taishan County Taishou Cai Yong, and the county Cheng Zhuge Jue. In addition, Cai Yong's two students, Ruan Yu and Lu Cui, were recorded as the left of the book.

Zhang Chong looked at the gathering of brave generals and strategists in the hall, and sighed in his heart, even if his family can't be compared with the Han court, it can be compared with the princes of a county.

Before Zhang Chong discussed the letter sent by Zhang Jiao, there was a big thing to do.

He asked people to be two banners:

One side is the apricot yellow flag, on the book "for the heavens", on the left is written "the cultivator has his field", on the right is written "the laborer eats his strength", this flag is their Taishan Army's belief banner, but also their Taishan Army's slogan and ideals. Then a crimson banner was written, "The Great General of the Heavens", which was the banner of their Taishan Army and the Great Banner of the whole army. ….

After the flag was erected, Zhang Chong awarded the flag to the ten generals under the command of the second lieutenant and the three departments of his own army headquarters, because from then on, their Taishan army will restore the sequence of Taiping Road, and they will play the apricot yellow flag of Taiping Road.

In addition to these old battalion headquarters, there are also three new battalions, namely Xi Shen's Lushan battalion, Li Bi's Yishan battalion, and Wang Han's Laiwu battalion, each battalion has 500 soldiers. These three parts were all compiled and practiced after the Battle of the Two Rivers in March, and the Lushan battalion of Xi Shen was compiled relatively early, but it was only practiced for about half a year.

After the flag-changing, flag-raising, and flag-awarding ceremonies, all the military officials and staff sat on straw mats and listened to Zhang Chong's talk about what was discussed. In fact, there is no need for Zhang Chong to say, these fierce generals all know that what they are discussing this time must be important, didn't they see that Yang Mao, the deputy of the army who guarded the rear for ten thousand years, came to Fenggao to attend the meeting?

The first thing Zhang Chong said was an earth-shattering shock:

"Taiping Dao raised troops in April, and now the great sage and good master want us to cross the Yellow River north and camp with him in Yecheng."

Two important pieces of news in one sentence.

Taiping Road uprising, with the Archdiocese battalion.

Let's start with the first thing, in fact, everyone was prepared for the Taiping Dao uprising, because during this time, with their interspersed between the Wen and Si rivers, they had already gained a strategic advantage in the entire central and southern Lu region. Now the main generals of all aspects of the Han Court are on the defensive, and they continue to drop troops from all over the Central Plains, which can be said to have greatly reduced the pressure on the Taiping Dao in the Central Plains, and it is impossible for the Taiping Dao not to seize this favorable opportunity.

But when Zhang Chong said that the Taiping Dao, which was originally scheduled to launch a beheading in Kyoto, was the first to be beheaded by Tang Zhou, except for Ma Yuanyi, who escaped, the rest were all opened up in the city, and the generals couldn't help but scold Tang Zhou's dog slaves. This person didn't hurt them enough Taishan, and he dared to come out to tell the truth, and they all shouted to kill them in Kyoto, and burned Tang Zhou to avenge their dead colleagues.

And wait until Zhang

After rushing to describe the situation of the world's Taiping Road and the generals one by one, the generals present raised their arms and shouted, except for Guan Yu and Yang Mao, who were orthodox military officials from the Han court system, knowing the strength of the Han court, they were not overly optimistic, and the rest of the generals had already been shouted by one person, and the scene of the world was so happy that they were stunned.

Zhang Chong did not dampen the optimism of the generals, because in the early stage of the uprising, optimism was better than pessimism.

He only talked about the current strategy of Taiping Road entering Beijing by three routes. All the way to Hebei Taiping Road, has set out from Julu to attack Wei County, they will go to Hanoi, cross the river through Mengjin, and go straight to Luoyang. The second road is Ruying Taiping Road, with 100,000 people, gathering in Changshe, preparing to go north from Yingshui to cross the Songshan Mountains and enter the Luoyang Basin. The third road is Nanyang Taiping Road, the number is 50,000 people, out of Ye County, through Luyang, along the Rushui to the north, from Guangcheng Pass, around to the Luoyang Basin.

Now on these three Taiping Road routes, and then ask the staff counselors to see which road is the best, and which one we want to join.

The following Hefu asked suspiciously:

"Qu Kui, didn't the great sage and good teacher order us to go north and camp with him?"

Who knew that Zhang Chong only smiled and was silent, or Ding Sheng interjected:

"Hefu, when did you listen so much to a great sage and mentor of Rausch? What are we doing, just listen to Qu Kui, and don't care what kind of heaven and earth he is."

Heifu was stunned, and then he stopped talking. The generals didn't make fun of Heifu, they all knew that Heifu was this kind of character, he could do things but didn't have any brains. If you give him an order, he will do it without discount, but you have to make him think about things, which is not only a nightmare for Heifu, but also a nightmare for his colleagues.

Zhao Da, who has always been a reilly member of the staff, was the first to stand up and start as counselor Zhang Chong.
