Chapter 388: Exhaustion
The change in Louguan has ended, and Zhang Bao has become the biggest loser in this change.
Not long after he sat on the position of a great sage and good teacher, he was dragged into the military palace by the left bearded Zhangba in embarrassment. Later, he was placed under house arrest in another hall.
As for the left bearded Zhanghachi himself, he took advantage of the big victory and the blood gushed out, occupying the main hall and enjoying the treatment of the victor.
Dozens of Zhao Guowuji, who had been raised by the military government, danced fearfully in the midst of swords and guns, decorating the excitement of the success of the Eighth Army.
The happy left bearded Zhanghachi did not forget the promise he made to the soldiers just before the battle. He opened the treasury of Taiping Province and began to reward meritorious soldiers in the mutiny.
He didn't stipulate who would take as much, but arrogantly told everyone that whatever they could take was yours.
I don't know how many people have been greedy stimulated by this order, and I don't know how many people would rather bend their waists than take away an extra piece of cloth.
That night, there was a banquet in the military mansion, rewarding meritorious service, singing and dancing, and staying all night.
One thing to say, the left beard is much brighter than Zhang Baochang, at least he is really willing to give. The Yellow Turbans at the bottom don't care what you do above, it's not up to you to see who can give benefits. As a result, Zuo Zhangba's wave of scattered wealth really stabilized the team.
But it is also stabilized, and it is only stable for a while, and it will not work if you want to use this trick next time. Because people will think that this is what they earn by their ability, if you give less, people will have to arm to ask for it.
So the left beard can't slack off yet, at least not yet.
He didn't have a powerful henchman to help him participate in the praise painting, so he did a lot of things by instinctively discussing with everyone.
For example, for Zhang Bao, the captured Digong general now, the consensus of everyone is that it is better to die. After all, the city is uncertain, who knows if anyone is also ambitious, and they will raise troops to fight against Zhang Baolai in the name of rescuing Zhang Bao.
So the next day, the left bearded Zhangba opened several powder arms and walked to the side hall with a firm will.
Here, Zhang Bao has not eaten water and rice for a day, and he looks embarrassed. At this moment, when he saw Zuo Zhangba coming in aggressively, he hurriedly lowered his head and shouted:
"Why is the Holy Lord here?"
Zuo Zhangba was stunned when he heard this, and it took a long time to react that he was talking about himself. He pointed at himself, then at Zhang Bao, and laughed at the henchmen on the side:
"Who would have known that our Digong General would be such a good person? Afraid? It's right to be afraid of death. ”
In fact, Zhang Bao is not so unbearable. But sometimes it's just a matter of thought.
If he is a city breaker and a defeated army, he will commit suicide if he says suicide, and he doesn't need to think about it. But once I was locked up here and thought about it all night, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that I shouldn't die.
So after seeing the left bearded Zhangba come in, he shouted this sentence in the heat.
Zuo Zhangba's ridicule of Zhang Bao made him blush, but he also knew that this would not be the time to be arrogant, so he flattered Zuo Zhangba with his head:
"General Zuo is not a mortal, he should be my son of Huang Tian, I don't think this great sage and good teacher is enough, it has to be the Holy Lord to be the Heavenly Gift of General Zuo."
In fact, Zhang Bao also has one or two truths in it. He knew that his talent was mediocre and he couldn't make the idea of Taiping Dao anymore, so it was better to use the crown on his head in exchange for his life in troubled times.
In fact, Zhang Bao's words are very moving. In the final analysis, if Zhang Bao can take the initiative to let Zen, it will be easier for the left bearded Zhangba to receive the inheritance of the Taiping Dao, so the left bearded Zhangba will most likely agree.
But alas, he overestimated the political wisdom of Zuo Zhangba. In fact, people didn't understand it at all, anyway, for Zuo Zhangba, killing Zhang Bao was afraid of long nights and dreams.
So in order to sleep peacefully, Zhang Bao still asked to die.
But Zuo Zhangba also knew that he shouldn't do anything here, so he said to Zhang Bao:
"For the sake of General Tiangong, I will give you a way to live. I'll send you out of the house, and you'll be an ordinary person. ”
Zhang Bao nodded busily and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But when Zhang Bao was about to take his wife out of the military mansion together, his wife was crying, saying that there was only a dead end to leaving the mansion.
This crying made Zhang Bao feel annoyed, and it also annoyed Zuo Zhangba, so he directly asked Hu Bing to escort the two to a mansion outside the military mansion.
This mansion was directly closely monitored by the people sent by Zuo Zhangba, and it can be said that it was guarded at all levels.
After preliminarily clearing up Zhang Bao's problem, Zuo Zhangba once again discussed with his clan brother Zuo Xiao who should inherit the position of the lord of the Taiping Dao.
Colonel Zuo's meaning is very simple, that is, if we don't do anything, since we have already identified the mutiny, what will the brothers who do big things with them think if they don't sit in that position? Do they think you don't have the courage to sit?
So just break it, and there can be no hesitation.
What Colonel Zuo said makes sense, but things can't be done that way. Zuo Zhangba is more sober than his own brother, that is, his prestige is nothing in Taiping Dao.
Not to mention the Yellow Turbans outside Hebei, such as Qingzhou and Bingzhou, it is in this Guangzong and Anping that the Yellow Turban Army in China, the army that can be affected by Zuo Zhangba is only thirty percent.
But don't think that these three layers are few, in other words, the strength of the left bearded Zhangba is half of the sum of the other Yellow Turban Army leaders, and there is no way to compete with the left bearded Zhangba if it is pulled out alone.
And on this day, the military commanders in the city just discovered that Guo Tai, that is, Guo Daxian, was gone.
It is said that this man took advantage of the chaos in the city and ran away.
This Guo Tai is not an ordinary Qu Shuai, he is the most powerful Qu Shuai in Bingzhou, and he was invited by the General Dao to cross the Taihang Mountain and enter Guangzong.
From this point of view, Guo Tai is much more than Zhang Chongzhong.
Now that Guo Tai has run away, the left bearded zhangba has one less gripper who can remotely control the state yellow scarf, so the left bearded zhangba does not dare to directly usurp the throne and seize power.
So he remembered the excuse for the previous incident, that is, the widows of the two Tiangong generals Zhang Jiao. He thought about it or accept the election when he saw it, first hold the two posthumous sons, and then grab the real power in his own hands.
But Zuo Xiao wondered:
"Those two are in the stomach, whether they are alive or dead, whether they are male or female, I don't know, why do you hold the top position?"
Who knows that the left beard scolded:
"You're so rigid? Don't know how to find a child from the city? Who do I care if it's really a horn? ”
Good guy, the left beard is no longer pretending, and he has begun to call Zhang Jiao's name.
After receiving instructions from Zuo Zhangba, Zuo Colonel began to secretly look for the newborn baby boy in the city, and soon found a Zhou Zheng's.
So, in the afternoon of the same day, Zuo Zhangba sent all the honor guards and utensils of the great virtuous master into the mansion, indicating that the great position has been inherited by the son of our great virtuous and good teacher, that is, the young master.
Then that night, Zhang Bao and his wife died violently in the mansion, and they didn't live much for a night.
And the one who was responsible for dealing with Zhang Bao was Chu Feiyan, because Zuo Zhangba found that this person was really a good knife, and he was very easy to do.
Everything was running according to the calculations of Zuo Zhangba, and the generals in charge of the front line in Anping and Qinghe all sent a letter of expression after learning that the widow of the great virtuous and good teacher had been established, and they were willing to submit to the management of Guangzong's side.
Just when Zuo Zhangba thought that he was still a good politician, a change happened that he had never expected.
The change is Guo Tai, who escaped from Guangzong.
Unlike what Zuo Zhangba expected, Guo Tai did not secretly return to Baibo Valley in Bingzhou, but went directly to Julu, where Guan Yuzuo's military academy headquarters of the Taishan Army was stationed.
When the dusty Guo Tai appeared in Guan Yu's military tent and told Guan Yu everything that happened in Guangzong's city, Guan Yu understood that an important opportunity was placed in front of him.
But Guan Yu didn't dare to call the shots, first asked Guo Tai to enter the account to rest, and then he ordered Dian Wei to return to Handan in person with the letter soldiers, and reported the army to Qu Shuai Zhang Chong.
Time flies very quickly.
Zhang Jiao was buried on May 17 and on May 20, while Zhang Chong learned of Zhang Jiao's death on May 21. But on May 23, Zhang Chong learned about a series of events that had happened in Guangzong City.
Dang Dian Wei brought this news and said that Guan Yu also thought that this was the best opportunity to solve the problem of the Yellow Turban Army once and for all.
Zhang Chong couldn't help it anymore, and was busy sending books and sending five school captains to Handan to discuss matters.
In the end, everyone unanimously decided that it was time for the Taishan army to carry the banner and kill the left bearded Zhangba who had mutiny.
In this way, Zhang Chong decided to fight a quick battle, and he marched from Handan with six battalions of cavalry, first taking over the Guan Yu department closest to Guangzong, and then Zhang Dan's department of Zhao State and Ding Sheng's department of Wei County marched to Guangzong from the other two roads.
They met under the city of Gwangjong.
And for these, in Guangzong City, Zuo Zhang, who has long had no intelligence sources, knows nothing.
At this time, he was having a headache about how to deal with Zhang Bao's death.
Although Zuo Zhangba looked down on Zhang Bao, even though this person died at his hands, even if he was pretending, Zuo Zhangba had to deal with Zhang Bao's aftermath.
But in terms of dealing with Zhang Bao's posthumous affairs, Zuo Zhangba had a huge conflict with a group of military leaders.
In the opinion of Zhang Baiqi, Zhang Leigong, Yu Xuan, Bai Huan, Zheng Gu and other military leaders, Zhang Bao is a person who has been a great sage and good teacher after all, and he should be given the same treatment as Zhang Shi and buried.
These people more or less can't bear to see the second child of the Zhang family end up like this, not to mention that this is also their first time uniting to test the bottom line of Zuo Zhangba.
Zuo Zhangba didn't know that these people intended to test him, but even so, he couldn't tolerate Zhang Bao being buried as a great sage and good teacher, in that case, wouldn't he really be a chaotic minister and thief?
So, Zuo Zhangba was ruthless in the military government, saying that Zhang Bao deceived his brother and sister-in-law, usurped the throne, and it was already a blessing not to be executed for a long time, so how could he dare to be buried with the dignity of a great sage and good teacher?
Therefore, Zuo Zhangba insisted on expelling Zhang Baoge from the sect and ending the matter as a concubine. This shows that his left-haired eight incidents are all out of public heart and righteousness.
At this time, Zuo Zhangba was no longer just the master of the Yellow Turban Iron Cavalry left behind by Guangzong, he had already turned into an auxiliary Taoist master.
The so-called Taishi naturally means that his left beard is the teacher of our young master, and he is the real one person below ten thousand people.
Of course, in Zuo Zhangba's heart, he is not under one person, but really above everyone.
Therefore, how can Zuo Zhangba, who thinks that he is in power, tolerate the opinions of Zhang Baiqi and others, and thunder is furious.
Seeing that Zhang Baiqi dared to explode in front of him, he directly pulled out the saber on his waist and shouted angrily:
"Okay, you're a white horse, do you think my left beard's knife is unfavorable?"
And Zhang Baiqi is also hard, although there is no sword in his hand, he still talks his neck and replies:
"You have a knife on your left beard, don't we have a knife?"
As soon as these words came out, Zuo Zhangba's eyes narrowed and he stopped talking.
Because there is an important point in this sentence, that is, Zhang Baiqi is talking about us. In other words, Zhang Baiqi is not a person, there are people behind him?
Who's that? How many are there?
The eyes of the left bearded Zhangba glanced at Yu Shigen, Liu Shi, Si Li, and Rafter who were standing opposite, and then looked at Zhang Leigong, Yu Xuan, Bai Huan, and Zheng Gu, who were also more or less supporting Zhang Baiqi.
Left bearded Zhangba was shocked in his heart. The former are the foreign military departments stationed outside Guangzong City with Zhang Baiqi, and they are generally the former generals and some miscellaneous cards, and the military mutiny on the 21st, these people are all stopped outside the city, and they can only wait for the final result.
But the people in the back, such as Zhang Leigong, Yu Xuan, Bai Huan, and Zheng Gu, are all a series of Tiangong generals, these people don't stand behind him on the left side, how can they support Zhang Baiqi?
Thinking of this, Zuo Zhangba's eyes became more and more fierce, and his gaze gradually showed malice, obviously, he was wondering if he would chop these people now.
On the other side, Zhang Baiqi kept paying attention to the left bearded Zhangba, and when he saw that his eyes were starting to be wrong, he immediately came out to make peace.
Although he is one of the wisest of the several commanders in the army, since the general Rengong died under Julu City for unknown reasons, these generals of the public line of them have begun to feel sad.
Whether it is personnel replenishment or troop replenishment, it is the last round, so don't look at him and Yu Shigen, Liu Shi, Si Li, and Rafter, bitterly sun these people are united, but in fact, they are huddled together for warmth, and their strength can't stop the left bearded Zhangba who holds elite soldiers in his hands.
Not to mention that in the hall at this moment, the only one with a blade is the left beard.
After this grandson rebelled against himself, he not only gave himself a seat and did not hesitate to be treated, but also brought a knife into the palace. At this moment, if Zuo Zhangba really goes crazy, who can stop him?
So how could Zhang Baiqi, who is known as a wise man, put himself and others in danger? The hardness just now was enough to show his hardness, and what was needed now was to show softness.
So Zhang Baiqi came out of the queue with a smile, holding a five-baht coin in his hand, and said to the left beard:
"Since you and I have our own opinions, why don't we leave the result to Huang Tian to decide? I will throw copper coins now, and if the seal is on it, then bury the general with a big gift. If it is below, then listen to the master. ”
Xu is last sentence Taishi said that the left bearded Zhangba was happy, and this person nodded. I don't know, this person is just playing, thinking that if he really doesn't do what he wants, he will take the lives of Zhang Baiqi's gang.
Just as Zhang Baiqi threw out the copper coin, a soldier outside suddenly rushed in, and his mouth was shattering:
"The Taishan army is coming towards Guangzong."
For a while, the audience was silent, only the sound of the copper coin rolling down on the floor.
The copper coin rolled all the way, and finally stopped at the foot of the left bearded Zhanghachi.
But Zuo Zhanghachi didn't have the heart to look at the final result at the moment, he had only one thought in his heart:
"It's over."
