Chapter 101: General Rengong
This strange Taoist in a black robe looked into the distance, his face was still stained with tears, and there was an inexplicable sadness between his eyebrows.
"The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious."
These sixteen words represent what a vigorous and tragic uprising and what a magnificent era! This black-robed Taoist should be remembering all this.
Chen Yan stared at him blankly, in fact, the moment the black-robed Taoist took off his hat, Chen Yan had already recognized him.
The familiar face is very similar to the Zhang Jiao that Chen Yan saw in the cave, and it goes without saying that he must be Zhang Jiao's relative.
Judging from his age and martial arts cultivation, he should be a figure of the same generation as Zhang Jiao, and there will be no other possibilities.
Seeing his nostalgia for the Yellow Turban Uprising again, and when he said the song that was spread all over the world during the Yellow Turban Uprising, he shed tears, and Chen Yan was even more sure that he was one of the three leaders of the Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Jiao's younger brother.
And Zhang Bao is the one who died in the battle of Guangzong in the record, so the person in front of him must be Zhang Jiao's third brother, Zhang Liang, the general of Rengong.
Thinking of this, Chen Yan didn't hesitate any longer, he knelt on one knee and said with a solemn face: "General Tiangong's disciple Chen Yan, I have seen General Rengong!" ”
What Chen Yan wanted in his heart at this time was to befriend this Rengong general, but after all, Zhang Jiao died at his own hands, if Zhang Liang knew, then Chen Yan might not be able to eat and walk around, so he had an idea, since Zhang Liang saw that his martial arts were passed down from the Yellow Turban Sect, then he simply pretended to be Zhang Jiao's apprentice.
Zhang Liang listened to Chen Yan's words, was slightly stunned, and hurriedly stroked Chen Yan's cheeks with both hands, and said with a pleased smile: "Good boy, how do you know that I am Zhang Liang?" Are you really my eldest brother's disciple? ”
After hearing this, Chen Yan hurriedly replied: "You are very similar to the master, you can see at a glance that you are his old man's brother, not to mention that you are very skilled, and you are a general, I am afraid there is no one else." ”
When Zhang Liang heard this, the tears in his eyes rolled down even more, and he said in a trembling voice: "Good boy! Good boy! I can't imagine that the eldest brother has left such a successor! It's a pity that when he died of illness many years ago, I couldn't be by his side......"
Chen Yan then thought that Zhang Liang didn't know that Zhang Jiao was trapped in the cave by Yu Ji, at this time, Zhang Jiao's body was probably still exposed in the cave, and he couldn't tell Zhang Liang the news, otherwise he would find that his own brother had a big hole in his chest, wouldn't he be crazy?
After all, Chen Yan falsely claimed to be Zhang Jiao's disciple at this time, and when he saw Zhang Liang crying, he hurriedly squeezed out a few tears.
Zhang Liang looked at Chen Yan, seemed to be very satisfied with this disciple, and hurriedly said, "Child, why did my brother accept such a child as you?" Why are you here? ”
Chen Yan hurriedly explained: "When I was still young, I was an orphan in the war, and when the master saw that I was pitiful, he passed on a body of mana to me, but unfortunately he only met me a few times, and then I heard that his old man was critically ill and ......" Speaking of this, Chen Yan really touched his soft intestines and cried bitterly.
It can be seen that Chen Yan is an acting school.
Seeing Chen Yan's sadness crying, Zhang Liang hurriedly patted Chen Yan's shoulder, and Lian Sheng said with relief: "Good boy, all this is over, don't be sad anymore." My eldest brother has worked hard all his life, and it is really in vain to have a child like you in the end. ”
Chen Yan nodded again and again, but said in his heart: "Zhang Jiao, this guy wants to harm me when he is dying, and he still wants to seize the consciousness, but Zhang Liang has a compassionate and kind appearance, and they are also two brothers born to a mother, why is the gap between people so big!" ”
Zhang Liang waited for Chen Yan to cry for a while, and suddenly said, "By the way, did my eldest brother say anything before he died?" ”
After hearing this, Chen Yan said in his heart: "This Zhang Liang seems to be a kind person, I am afraid he also advocates peace, not to mention that at this time, the world is in chaos and the people are suffering, why don't I take the opportunity to let him help me?" When he said, "Before he died, Master said that he was really guilty of killing too many people in this life, and harming thousands of people...... He also ordered me to assist the Han well, revive Chaogang, and return the people of the world to a peaceful world......"
After saying this, Chen Yan stared at Zhang Liang carefully, wanting to see Zhang Liang's reaction.
I saw that Zhang Liang heard this, and his face suddenly showed a relieved expression, and he looked up to the sky and shouted, "Brother! You finally get the idea! ”
Chen Yan didn't know why Zhang Liang suddenly made such a move, and hurriedly asked, "Why, why did the general say that?" ”
Zhang Liang looked down at Chen Yan and said slowly: "You may not know that our three brothers first practiced with Yu Ji Zhenren in the Taiping Sect. Later, my eldest brother was taught some crooked ways by a strange Taoist, and since then he has been ambitious, thinking about achieving the cause of the king......"
Chen Yan nodded, thinking, "I'm afraid this strange Taoist is the old immortal of Nanhua......"
Zhang Liang continued: "At that time, I was a person with no opinions, and the second brother was a submissive character. ”
Chen Yan suddenly heard this and said, "It turns out that this is how the Yellow Turban Sect came about. ”
Zhang Liang nodded and continued: "Yes, originally the eldest brother was only teaching in the north, and what he did was only to help others, and the elders of the Taiping Sect did not blame us for breaking the sect and going out. But later, the Yellow Turban Sect gradually increased, and the eldest brother wanted to overthrow the world of the Han Dynasty and fight the country himself......"
Chen Yan's heart sank, and he said, "This is the turning point?" ”
Zhang Liang agreed: "Yes, this is the turning point. In recent years, the imperial court has sold official positions and lords, and the corruption is serious, and the people have long been complaining. My eldest brother is quite prestigious in the north, and under his call, the rivers and lakes responded to the call, and the rebel army rose like this. In just a few months, we have gathered millions of people, waiting to overthrow tyranny. ”
Chen Yan couldn't help but be moved when he thought of the grandeur of the Yellow Turban Uprising.
Zhang Liang said: "But the uprising, although it is for the people, is a war after all, and the people have not yet enjoyed freedom and liberation, so they first tasted the taste of war. At first, I didn't think so, but after the battle, I looked at the people who died on the battlefield, and I began to ask myself, is this the right thing to do? ”
Chen Yan was silent when he heard this, he knew that what Zhang Liang said was right, even if it was an uprising launched for freedom and justice, it would cause immeasurable harm to the common people.
Zhang Liang continued: "But after all, the leader is my eldest brother, I can only hold these thoughts in my heart and dare not say it, that is, after this, the elders of the Taiping Sect began to have the same thoughts as me, and they began to take action in the face of my eldest brother's behavior......
Speaking of this, Chen Yan suddenly understood why Yu Ji imprisoned Zhang Jiao in the mountains.
