Lord Yuan

Chapter 229 Zhang Jiao
This sudden rejection caught Huangfusong and others off guard.

They originally thought that with this suggestion and the fact that the battle had been turned from defeat to victory under the leadership of the Weiwei, they could say that they were sure of success.

After all, having such a great god walking with you can get twice the result with half the effort.

Huangfu Song frowned and looked at Liu Hong, and quickly raised his hands and asked: "Your Majesty, the Weiwei is a prodigy in this world and is quite proficient in warfare. There are no more Yellow Turbans left near the capital. The Weiwei can temporarily serve as a general and go to conquer the Yellow Turbans." , Jizhou area is where the main force of the Yellow Turbans is located, and the bandit Zhang Jiao and others have been on guard for a long time. Although our Han army is brave, the number of Yellow Turbans in Jizhou is large, so in order to fear that the Han army will lose, we want to send the guards with us."

Of course Liu Hong understands the logic of this.

But no matter how Huangfu Song persuaded him, Liu Hong only had one opinion, that is, Yuan Shao must not be released to the outside world, even if he died in the capital, he could safely be the Jiuqing, and then further become a false minister, that's all.

At worst, I will use some money from the small treasury to support the frontline soldiers.

After hearing this explanation, Huangfusong didn't know what to do for a while.

The emperor could say such things, so what else could he do?

However, when he set out before, he swore to the soldiers of the three armies that he would definitely bring the guards with him on this trip, not just to enable the soldiers to gain more military honors.

Regarding Yuan Shao's help to them before, it can be said that he pulled them back from the edge of the cliff. Without Yuan Shao, they would probably still be imprisoned in prison without knowing whether to live or die. How could they be restored to their posts like they are now? Even the army he controls is much larger.

In order to repay Yuan Shao's kindness and learn from the mouth of Cao Cao, the Cavalry Commander, that Yuan Shao came from the Yuan family in Runan, and there would be no harm in making friends with him, so why not do it.

However, Liu Hong's attitude was very firm.

In order to make them completely give up, Liu Hong simply asked Yuan Shao, who was standing aside as if nothing was wrong.

"Do you have this intention?"

When Yuan Shao heard this, he was very happy about Huangfu Song's kindness. However, he saw some inexplicable meaning in Liu Hong's eyes.

In just this moment, Yuan Shao figured out the reason.

endure.

You must endure.

Yuan Shao pretended to be calm, smiled as much as possible, and said respectfully to Liu Hong: "I am your Majesty's servant, and I will obey your Majesty's orders."

Liu Hong looked at Yuan Shao, who was quite knowledgeable, with satisfaction, and then looked at Huangfu Song and others who looked astonished.

Look, this is not because I rejected your suggestions. The people involved have clearly expressed their opinions.

Huangfu Song was a little confused. Since he learned some news about Yuan Shao, he had a general understanding of his deeds in Liaodong.

Based on his knowledge of Yuan Shao, this was obviously a credit to his efforts, and there was no reason for him to give up so easily.

There must be something I don't know about here.

But now, Huangfu Song had no choice but to accept the order and retreat on his own in despair. Zhu Jun and Cao Cao also left with him.

After walking out of the palace door, Huangfu Song turned around and said with waning interest: "I don't know why Weiwei can turn a blind eye to the credit given to him. Is it possible that the Yuan family is already so powerful? If this battle can go smoothly. At the end of the day, it is not a bad idea to be promoted to the Third Duke. The Weiwei is not a stupid person and he definitely has his own considerations."

Cao Cao nodded beside him, his views on Huangfu Song were surprisingly consistent.

At the same time, he also has some judgments of his own.

Yuan Shao is not so timid.

At the very least, in the days when he interacted with him, Yuan Shao felt to him like a crossbow that was ready to go. He would gallop away instantly with just one command, far less hesitant than he is now.

Zhu Jun guessed: "Is it because His Majesty doesn't want the guards to accompany him?"

Cao Cao was instantly awakened by these words.

"That's true. Why did the two guards appear in Luoyang? They had not appeared in the Luoyang court for more than ten years before. Why was it that during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the warehouse was summoned by an edict from your majesty? Return?"

Huangfu Song was a little unbelievable and stared at the pair of copper bells.

"You are saying that His Majesty is very afraid of the guards now, just because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Youzhou, which was unstoppable along the way. He never thought that when he attacked the land of western Liaoning and faced the heavily armed Liaodong cavalry, he would be regarded as a They broke up and fled like chopping melons and vegetables. Could it be because of those [-] cavalry?"

"That must be the case. That's [-] cavalry. Just one county can produce such a large number of cavalry. You can imagine how terrifying the guards' methods of running the army are."

Zhu Jun was still frightened. Even a battle-hardened general like him could only command nearly [-] soldiers at most. Even so, his team was almost at the highest level.

But when facing Yuan Shao, he was like a clown.

Twenty thousand iron cavalry is actually cheaper than Na Yangxu.

Not to mention anything else, he used one-third of the [-] cavalry to enrich his army. With the extremely well-equipped cavalry, there was no opponent at all on the plains.

"Does it mean that the guard will never have a chance to win military honors again?"

"That's not necessarily true. If the situation can be reversed toward the imagined scene, even though His Majesty intends to stop it, the end is already done and it will never be feasible unless the guards take action."

Zhu Jun was about to speak but stopped.

"Tell me, there is nothing else to hide between you and me."

Zhu Jun then said: "What if the general is sent to accompany us?"

Before Huangfu Song said anything, Cao Cao laughed first.

Cao Cao saw He Jin's ability in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.

I'm afraid that this butcher who has reached the sky in one step will really go to the battlefield and run faster than anyone else.

In the Battle of Luoyang, He Jin's performance has completely confirmed this point.

He didn't even know what the art of war was, and he just relied on the brutality on his face and the fear in his heart.

It was the guards again, leading them to carry out counterattacks again and again, and the successive gains made their minds wander to nowhere.

"Well, if the general can learn half as much as the guards, I will be satisfied."

They couldn't understand more and more that this man was not very old, but he did some things that were completely beyond their imagination.

Yuan Shao was still forcibly left behind by Liu Hong in the palace.

Furthermore, even the dinner party was arranged for Liu Hong.

In order to highlight the difference between the emperor and his ministers, the quality of the ingredients served can be distinguished with the naked eye.

Liu Hong glared at Xiao Huangmen, who had no eyesight at all.

Fortunately, Yuan Shao didn't focus on this at all.

He knew it clearly.At this time, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and others planned to do something.

The art of peace promoted by Zhang Jiao has long been regarded as an isolated copy and sewn into the sleeve robe.

However, most of the rules and regulations of the Taiping Religion that he preached have been castrated, and the remaining part has been initially demonstrated anyway.

As for the so-called Fu Shui saving lives, it couldn't be simpler.

Anyway, most of the illnesses common people suffer from are mild colds, perhaps due to some folk remedies passed down from ancient times. They only need to cool off in a warm bed, and they will return to normal in an hour or two.

It has nothing to do with the so-called talisman water that can cure all diseases. It only needs to be resisted by one's own resistance, so there is no need to worry at all.

However, these proven sciences would still be completely impacted by Zhang Jiao's Fu Shui treatment method in the Han Dynasty.

It can be said that Zhang Jiao perfectly captured the bad nature of secular people.

Fu Shui can be found everywhere.

Temple fairs, court meetings, memorial ceremonies, offerings, and many other matters, it is really easy to find some talisman water.

It's so simple, and it can be said that with the help of one's own immunity, the disease has been greatly alleviated.

The common people all thought it was a manifestation from heaven. The Central Plains of Han Dynasty had been dry for several months. It could be said that there were hungry people everywhere, as evidenced by the rickety corpses everywhere.

However, local officials have intensified their tax collection, even if the so-called thirty tax per year was changed to fifteen tax per tax.

Originally, taxes were paid based on the weight after harvest, but now, these steps are completely omitted.

Any land reclamation that begins, without exception, requires some additional small gifts to be presented to local officials.

Overwhelmed and facing all kinds of fish and meat, Zhang Jiao was born.

It can be said that Zhang Jiao is lucky, but also the most unlucky.

Fortunately, he caught up with a good opportunity for him.

The common people at the bottom were so hungry that their chests were touching their backs, and they were all skin and bones.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Jiao declared that he would live in Jiazi and the world would be at peace.

Regardless of whether it is a victory or not, or whether the future distribution of benefits is as it says.

But at least with the promotion of this method, the Li common people who were already in dire straits had no other choice but to seek refuge in Zhang Jiao.

According to this, in just one month, it has evolved into an army of nearly ten thousand people.

From this, Zhang Jiao can be said to have fully occupied this good opportunity.

But, it's also unfortunate.

At this time, not to mention the Yellow Turban Army, even the soldiers of the Han Army who had just won the battle never thought that the power gathered by a group of ragtag people would almost destroy the dynasty.

Before meeting Yuan Shao, Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban Army had won great victories wherever they went. He never thought that they would be defeated by Yuan Shao one after another, making Yuan Shao's name resound across the land again.

And this was the worst thing that Zhang Jiao felt.

Zhang Jiao's momentum was like thunder, enveloping thousands of public opinions and turning into rolling thunder to attack the last bit of dignity of the big man.

The Yellow Turban Army's all-out attack encountered Waterloo in Yuzhou, Beijing and other places, where nearly 20 Yellow Turban Army troops were defeated. In other areas, the Yellow Turban Army was unstoppable. Wherever it went, basically few officials from various places left alive.

"According to reliable information, a large number of Han troops are about to march out of Luoyang, and the target is our base camp in Jizhou, the Yellow Turban. Does God have a way to deal with it?"

You Qushuai obtained Luoyang's every move through various means, and rushed to Zhang Jiao's camp without stopping.

Zhang Jiao was wearing Taoist uniform, sitting cross-legged with his legs, and his hands condensed into a special symbol, which Qu Shuai couldn't understand.

"Why are you panicking? This is Jizhou. I don't care how the Han army came, but if they dare to attack Jizhou, they will definitely die here."

Qu Shuai smiled carefully, but he understood his general's intention.

However, the number of Han troops on this trip was increasing rapidly, and battle reports were being sent here one after another, so he couldn't help but be cautious.

Tiangong is a god descending to earth, and those possessed by gods are not afraid of this. However, he is still just a little Qu Shuai who has not yet cultivated Taoism and become an immortal. Of course, he must remain absolutely cautious.

As if he thought of something, Zhang Jiao suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were like torches, as if he could see through everything in the world, and then asked: "Did Yuan Shao participate in it?"

When Yuan Shao's name was mentioned, Qu Shuai could even feel Tiangong's emotions fluctuating rapidly. Although it was only for a moment, he still clearly noticed it.

"That's not true."

Qu Shuai narrowed his eyes, pondered for a long time and said hesitantly: "Everyone in Luoyang City seems to be singing about Yuan Shao's fame. Our spies don't even need to risk exposure to the depths of the palace. They only need to wander around the streets. Just take a lap and you’ll get the news you want.”

As for Yuan Shao not appearing on this expedition list, Qu Shuai also smiled.

Yuan Shao not only had a huge reputation among the Han army in Luoyang, but even the common people at the bottom and even the enemy Yellow Turban Army could roughly understand everything that happened through the news circulated in the world.

Therefore, when he heard that Yuan Shao did not show up, even Zhang Jiao was extremely happy.

At this moment, another person wearing a yellow scarf came to report.

Seeing that there were other people in the room, Zhang Jiao waved his hand, making Qu Shuai reluctantly leave on his own.

After there was no one else in the room, the visitor gasped and explained: "Since Yuan Shao left Liaodong, the emperor sent another General Du Liao to replace Yuan Shao."

"Then what?" Zhang Jiao already knew this news.

The visitor spoke again: "God doesn't know. Although General Du Liao has been replaced, in fact, the same team that Yuan Shao was there is still running in an orderly manner. The so-called General Du Liao is just like a decoration. Basically There is no way to release the decree, and it is like a joke to have the government come out on your own."

Zhang Jiao was a little surprised.

He ignored his current girlfriend and openly chose to hug his ex's chest. In this way, it seemed that he was putting the cart before the horse.

What's more, the newly appointed General Du Liao is the favorite disciple of the current Taiwei, and the Taiwei Yang Ci has many dissatisfactions with the Yuan family. However, the strength of the two families is very different, and for a while, no one can do anything about the other. So, General Du Liao, who was out, naturally became the best method.

Obviously, in this battlefield without gunpowder smoke, Yuan family was defeated first.

Taiwei is really a good trick.

After eliminating his competitors, he immediately sent his disciples up here, overlooking Yuan's every move.

However, it has been more than a month, why is there no movement at all in Yangxu?

Even if Yuan Shao hid [-] iron cavalry, Yang Xu couldn't fail to discover even the slightest clue.
