Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 225

Chapter 224: Divergence

Chen Liu, Yellow Turban Parliament Hall.

Zhang Jiao frowned, and sat on the main seat with a serious face, looking at the old and new leaders below, and beside him stood a girl about fourteen or fifteen years old, the girl had bright eyes and white teeth. , Slim, shrewd and capable, it is Zhang Ning, the biological daughter of Zhang Jiao.

Looking at his frowning father, a trace of distress flashed in Zhang Ning's eyes. Now Zhang Jiao is the most powerful person in the world, but there is no joy in his face, only deep feelings. fatigue.

After the complete consolidation of Yanzhou, Chenliu had become the political center of the Yellow Turbans, and all government affairs from all directions came to Chenliu.

Zhang Jiao couldn't handle the piles of government affairs. In addition, Zhang Jiao had to deal with the open and secret battles between factions within the Yellow Turbans. A series of various things had exhausted the old man physically and mentally.

Zhang Jiao is now very disappointed with the original heir Huang Chao. After tasting the poison of power, Huang Chao can no longer quit.

On the other hand, the son-in-law Xiang Yu, whom Zhang Jiao had never considered before, has become mature and introverted since he was assisted by his advisor Jia Guo. From the current point of view, Xiang Yu is indeed a good candidate for Zhang Jiao's successor.

Where there are people, there is a struggle. Now the internal fighting between the Yellow Turbans is more intense than before. It used to be a three-legged confrontation, and now it is Xiang Yu and Huang Chao. The object that the two sides vigorously win over.

And all of this, Zhang Jiao saw it in his eyes, anxious to say in his heart, he had no ability to organize at all.

Today's Zhang Jiao's health is getting worse and worse, both energy and physical strength are not as good as before, so Zhang Jiao can only spread his power and control the overall situation.

Zhang Jiao also knew that he was overworked, and I am afraid that he will not live for a few years, and the internal contradictions of the Yellow Turbans have been sharp to the extreme. Zhang Jiao can't imagine what the Yellow Turbans will look like if he dies.

And this decisive battle with the Han Dynasty is the last chance for the Yellow Turbans to transfer their contradictions to the outside world, and it is also Zhang Jiao's last chance!

"Cough cough..."

Zhang Jiao coughed twice, causing most of the old and new Qu Shuai present to worry for a while. If an accident happened to Zhang Jiao now, the good situation that had been formed after fighting for more than a year would be gone in an instant.

Of course, not everyone in the Yellow Turbans wanted Zhang Jiao to be good. Zhang Jiao was like a mountain. As long as he was there for one day, no one dared to make any changes.

Seeing that his cough caught everyone's attention, Zhang Jiao laughed at himself, and said lightly, "If you really care about this old man's body, then you should do less virtuous things. Do you really think the following things, this old man doesn't know?"

Zhang Jiaohu swept his eyes to and fro on the bodies of all Qu Shuai present at the scene, and everyone couldn't help but shuddered, and their bodies tensed and didn't move.

Seeing this, Zhang Jiao sighed and said softly: "My Yellow Turban rebellion is for the benefit of the people of the world, and now the world has not yet been decided, some scum will use the banner of my Yellow Turban Army to arbitrarily oppress the people, this makes the people of the world think My Yellow Turban Army?"

When Fang La heard this, he immediately stood up and said, "Master, my Yellow Turban strength is expanding too fast, and it is inevitable that the good and the bad will be mixed. You can rest assured that whether it is corruption or power for personal gain, the disciples have been strictly investigating, and will never let anyone go. The worms that ruin my reputation for the Yellow Turbans!"

Zhang Jiao heard the words a little, and after the last beating, Fang La became a lot calmer, so Zhang Jiao gave Fang La the most offending thing about anti-corruption.

After Fang La took over this position, he has always been selfless and tough, killing many people and offending many people, but there are too many moths inside the yellow scarf, some of which are deeply hidden, Fang La can't kill them all!
"Don't just focus on the middle and low-level, the high-level must also check. Once found, it will not be tolerated!" Zhang Jiao said coldly.

"No!" Fang La said solemnly.

Zhang Jiao nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "How is the preparation for the decisive battle?"

Most of the government affairs of the Yellow Turban are handled by Huang Chao, and Huang Chao stood up immediately when he heard it, and said respectfully: "My lord, in the past five months, my Yellow Turban has mobilized nearly 200 million people, and the grain and grass transported to Yanzhou totaled 800 million shi. Enough for my Yellow Turban army of one million to fight for two years!"

Zhang Jiao nodded and continued to ask, "Xiang Yan, how is the training of the Eastern Expedition Army going?"

In order to prevent Huang Chao's dictatorship, Zhang Jiao handed over general affairs to Xiang Yan.

Xiang Yan stood up unhurriedly, and said with a smile on her face: "To the great virtuous and good teacher, Yanzhou currently has a total of 100 million troops, and my Yellow Turban has always adopted the training method of combining combat training and growing up in actual combat." , and now the army's combat power is far greater than before."

"What about the army's outfit change?" Zhang Jiao asked.

Before the Yellow Turbans were numerous, their equipment was terrible, and some even fought with wooden spears.

During these five months, Zhang Jiao concentrated the resources of the Quartet and fully armed an army of one million, in order to improve the overall combat power of the army.

"The army of one million has been refitted, and all soldiers have been equipped with iron weapons. There are 50 troops equipped with armor, of which 30 are leather armored troops, [-] iron armored troops, and [-] cavalry!"

The equipment ratio of this armor is not low, and it is impossible for everyone in the Han army to prepare armor, of course, except for the Yanmen Army.

"Okay, okay, with such combat power, my Yellow Turban Army will definitely be able to break through Luoyang and destroy the Han Dynasty!" Zhang Jiao laughed and asked Zhang Ning, "Ninger, you and your sister are in charge of Taipingwei, talk about it. The strength of the Han Dynasty now!"

When Zhang Ning heard his father finally ask himself, his eyes suddenly turned into crescents, and then he became serious again when he remembered something.

"Father, the current situation of my Yellow Turban is not optimistic. The Han Dynasty has gathered 40 troops, and there is another danger of eight passes. Lu Zhi is even more impervious to the defense of the Hulao Pass. Even if my Yellow Turban has an army of one million, I want to attack. It's not easy in Luoyang city either!"

Zhang Jiao nodded solemnly. He tried his best to hold back part of the Han army and trapped Huangfusong and Zhu Jun to death in Yuzhou and Jizhou, but the Han army still gathered 40 troops.

The 40 may not be enough for aggressiveness, but it is more than enough for defense, not to mention that the Han Dynasty has a famous player like Lu Zhi who is the best at defense.

"Could it be that we can only attack by force?" Zhang Jiao asked unwillingly, and the generals all had solemn expressions on their faces.

Of all the battles, the siege battle was undoubtedly the most brutal. It was not easy for the Yellow Turbans to accumulate this wealth. Everyone present didn't want it, and their sons were consumed in the siege battle.

"In order to minimize casualties, my sister formulated a foolproof 'diversion plan' and personally sneaked into Luoyang to implement it." Zhang Ning said to himself.
