The Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms: The Evil God Arrives

Chapter 342 Bai Rao: Are there traces of the Yellow Turbans’ will on Li Tiao?

"Brother Li Tiao, you have to believe me, this is really a misunderstanding." Zhang Yan's forehead was sweating profusely. He hurriedly explained to Li Tiao that he did not mean it, but was just counterattacking subconsciously.

After all, the disappearance of Li Tiao was really strange, and Zhang Yan had no way of locking down who was staring at him in secret. He could only be sure that someone was indeed watching him in secret.

Moreover, Li Tiao patted Zhang Yan's shoulder without even saying hello. It would be strange if Zhang Yan didn't instinctively fight back against Li Tiao.

The fighting instinct of a veteran who has survived a hundred battles is no joke. If Li Tiao was not also a veteran who had survived a hundred battles, Zhang Yan might have seen Li Tiao lying on the ground.

"Okay, chief, this matter is actually my fault. I should have reminded you before demonstrating it to you, otherwise you wouldn't have suddenly become nervous." Facing Zhang Yan's apology, Li Tiao shook his head. This really couldn't be blamed on Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan didn't listen to what Li Tiao said at this time, but went straight to check whether Li Tiao was injured.

"Phew, luckily, brother Li Tiao, you are very strong and blocked my knife just now." Zhang Yan wiped the sweat from his forehead with some fear.

"Hey, chief, did you listen to what I said just now?" Li Tiao slapped Zhang Yan's hand away and said with resentment.

"Ah? Brother Li Tiao, what did you say just now?" Zhang Yan came back to his senses and heard Li Tiao's resentment, and answered subconsciously.

Li Tiao looked at Zhang Yan in silence for a while, then said, "I said, it was not your problem just now, but my own problem.

Because when I was demonstrating to you how I crossed the blockade, I didn't tell you in advance, which triggered your instinctive reaction."

Zhang Yan pursed her lips. From what Li Tiao said, it seemed that he was overly nervous?

"What happened to you just now? How come you suddenly... seemed to disappear?" Zhang Yan decided to skip the previous topic and directly ask him the second question he was concerned about at the moment.

"It's a secret technique. I used some kind of secret technique." Li Tiao also tacitly skipped the previous topic.

"Secret techniques?" Zhang Yan's heart moved. General Zhang Jue, the God of Heaven, possessed many powerful secret techniques. Could it be that Li Tiao was using the same techniques?
"Chief, you're overthinking it. The secret technique I just used was not granted by General Tian Gong, but taught to us by General Yang." As soon as Li Tiao saw Zhang Yan's expression, he knew what this guy was thinking.

However, if he did not know the truth, Li Tiao himself might have thought that this was a magical power bestowed upon them by General Tiangong.

After all, General Tian Gong is an immortal, so isn't it normal for him to know magic?
"It turns out that it was not granted by General Tiangong." Zhang Yan said with some disappointment. He thought that Li Tiao's secret technique was granted to Guan Hai by General Tiangong in a dream after Guan Hai became the leader, and then Guan Hai granted it to Li Tiao.

If this was true, Zhang Yan would no matter what ask Li Tiao how Guan Hai got the dream from General Tian Gong. He also wanted to see General Tian Gong again.

Li Tiao was silent for a while, then said to Zhang Yan: "In short, I relied on this secret technique to pass through the blockade of Yan Liang's army and entered the Taihang Mountains to find you.

Although this secret technique cannot completely conceal a person's body location, it will still be exposed if encountering some people with keen perception.

However, it is impossible for the enemy to place scouts with keen perception and strong reconnaissance capabilities in every place, so it is relatively easy to pass through Yan Liang’s blockade. "

Li Tiao's forte is not stealth reconnaissance, but frontal breakthrough. He is only proficient in the secret technique of concealment he just used.

However, as mentioned before, the army Yuan Shao used to encircle and suppress the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans was only a small force after all, and how many elite scouts could he mobilize?

Compared with the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans in Taihang Mountains, Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei need more elite scouts to gather intelligence.

Therefore, even though Yan Liang and Tian Feng set up many blockades in the surrounding area, Yan Liang's army was just a small force with only 50,000 soldiers.

Since it is a small army, don't think about setting up the blockade perfectly. There is no god of war here, nor is there a fortune teller who can calculate everything.

It would be good enough if Yan Liang and Tian Feng could cover the important key nodes around the blockade line.

If more troops were deployed to garrison key nodes in a larger area, Yan Liang's troops would be dispersed, and their formation would be easily broken up by the Black Mountain and Yellow Turbans.

After several months of continuous encirclement and suppression, even if Tian Feng and Yan Liang looked down on the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans, they had to admit that there were indeed many capable people in the Yellow Turban Army.

For example, Zhang Yan, the current leader of the Yellow Turbans. Although they still look down on the other Yellow Turban leaders, it is because their lord looks down on them, so naturally they, the subordinates and retainers, also look down on them.

However, even though they were influenced by Yuan Shao's arrogance as a member of a top aristocratic family, which made them collectively look down on those ordinary Yellow Turban leaders, they had to admit that Zhang Yan was a rare general, at least better than Tian Feng and Yan Liang in commanding troops.

They have to admit it, because they have witnessed Zhang Yan's growth with their own eyes.

If Zhang Yan had not grown rapidly in battle after battle, the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans would have long since become the supporting roles in history books, setting off Yuan Shao's greatness.

"The blockade line of Yan Liang's troops seems very strict, with no loopholes to be exploited. But with this secret technique I have, it is relatively easy to find some roads leading to Taihang Mountains." After Li Tiao said this, he stood up.

"Okay, since you, the leader, intend to lead your troops to join Lord Xuande, I will return to Licheng now and report this matter to General Yang. By the way, I will also confirm the date when General Yang will arrive in Taihang Mountains." Li Tiao patted his clothes, saluted Zhang Yan, and planned to return to Licheng to report the situation here to Yang Ji.

Seeing that Li Tiao was about to leave, Zhang Yan wanted to say something, but after opening her mouth, no words came out.

"Chief, is there anything else you want to say to me, or is there anything you want to say to General Yang?" Li Tiao, who had already turned around and was about to leave, seemed to have sensed something. He turned to look at Zhang Yan who was hesitant to speak, and asked.

Zhang Yan was silent for a while, then pretended to laugh and said, "I don't have anything to say, I just want you to pay attention to your safety."

Li Tiao stopped where he was, staring at Zhang Yan intently, "Big Leader, do you really have nothing to ask or say?"

Zhang Yan shook his head and said, "There is nothing to say. Even if there is, it is that I hope you can bring General Anton here as soon as possible and let him take us to Qingzhou."

"Well, since you said no, then it's no, but I will bring General Yang here sooner."

Li Tiao nodded. Since Zhang Yan was unwilling to tell him, he would wait until Yang Ji came over and then tell Yang Ji.

Although Li Tiao's brain is not very good, his eyes are not blind. How could he not see the obvious hesitation on Zhang Yan's face?

Although Zhang Yan did not say it explicitly, Li Tiao guessed what Zhang Yan was hesitant to say based on his own experience, Zhang Yan's expression, and the current situation of the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans. Here, apart from the issue of food, Zhang Yan, as the leader of the Yellow Turbans, would not make any demands at will.

However, even if Zhang Yan told Li Tiao about his request, Li Tiao or Yang Ji behind Li Tiao would not be able to provide enough food to supply the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans at this time and place.

Yang Ji did have a way to solve part of the transportation problem, but Licheng did not have that much food and fodder stored up.

Although Licheng also stockpiled a lot of food and supplies, they were stored for the garrison in Licheng and for future war supplies.

Even if a part of it could be withdrawn without affecting the situation here, it would still be a drop in the bucket for the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans.

What's more, even if we could collect food and grass from the surrounding areas, it would be too late.

After Ju Yi arrived at Yan Liang's camp, there were only a few days left before the general attack on the Black Mountain and Yellow Turbans.

Although Li Tiao really wanted to help the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans in Taihang Mountains, the supply of food and fodder was not something he could solve alone. It required higher-level leaders to make the decision.

Looking at Li Tiao's suddenly disappearing back, Zhang Yan sighed lightly, hoping that Li Tiao could understand what he meant.

However, Zhang Yan did not expect that Licheng could really bring the food and grass over. After all, it was too late now.

Compared with food and fodder, Zhang Yan hoped that Yang Ji could make full use of the military advantage of the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans and bring more Yellow Turban brothers to Qingzhou for registration.

"Did you just believe what he said so easily?" Bai Rao, who appeared out of nowhere, asked Zhang Yan from behind.

"Didn't you also see the yellow scarf on Li Tiao's arm?" Zhang Yan said softly.

"When General Tian Gong was still around, many young men from aristocratic families also wore yellow turbans." Bai Rao said sarcastically. They knew very well why those young men from aristocratic families wore the yellow turban.

Zhang Yan turned around and looked at Bai Rao, saying, "Li Tiao was indeed the leader of the Yellow Turbans. You don't have to worry about his identity."

"Do you have a way to confirm it?" Bai Rao frowned and said, could it be that after Zhang Yan became the leader, he really received the instruction from General Tian Gong in his dream?

"No." Zhang Yan shook his head. "It's just an intuition, a feeling before the Yellow Turbans' will was broken."

"Yellow Turban will!? You felt the presence of the Yellow Turban will in Li Tiao?" Bai Rao asked in a lost voice with his eyes wide open.

Zhang Yan was silent for a while, then slowly said, "He doesn't have any fragments of the Yellow Turbans' will on him, he just came into contact with it."

Zhang Yan didn't know why he could sense traces of the Yellow Turbans' will from Li Tiao. Perhaps it was really General Tian Gong who told him in his dream last night.

Bai Rao was silent. He was not surprised that Li Tiao carried traces of the Yellow Turbans' will. After all, as long as the Yellow Turbans survived to the present, they would more or less carry some traces of the Yellow Turbans' will on their bodies. The only difference was the amount of traces they carried.

What really made Bai Rao silent was how Zhang Yan saw the traces of the Yellow Turbans' will on Li Tiao?

You know, before this, no Yellow Turban leader had ever been able to directly observe the existence of the Yellow Turban will.

[I wonder if Chief Xuan Gao and Chief Guan Hai can detect the existence of the Yellow Turbans' will? ] Bai Rao thought silently.

Zhang Yan gained the ability to observe the Yellow Turbans' will only after he became the leader of the Yellow Turbans. This means that anyone who is recognized by the majority of the Yellow Turbans can directly observe the existence of the Yellow Turbans' will.

"Then, Chief, can you still sense the existence of the Yellow Turbans' will now?" Bai Rao asked Zhang Yan with a glimmer of hope.

Zhang Yan shook his head, "The Yellow Turbans' will has been shattered by Huangfu Song. Even if there is any left, it is just fragments pinned on certain people.

In the final battle, you should also be able to sense the shattering of the Yellow Turbans' will. "Zhang Yan sighed, the shattering of the Yellow Turbans' will.

Bai Rao looked at Zhang Yan. During the final battle, even though he was in the Taihang Mountains, he could feel the Yellow Turbans' will being shattered.

At that time, I felt as if there was a piece missing in my heart, and countless sorrows suddenly emerged from my heart.

"You should also have a fragment of the Yellow Turbans' will in your body, right?" Bai Rao said with certainty.

After the death of General Tian Gong and the defeat of the Yellow Turbans by Huangfu Song, Bai Rao could not think of anyone else who could be recognized by the Yellow Turbans except these three great leaders who were recognized by most of the Yellow Turbans.

Zhang Yan was silent for a long time, and finally said, "I'm going to organize the troops and prepare to attack Yan Liang's troops." Then he left in a hurry.

Bai Rao looked at Zhang Yan's departing figure and sighed softly: "It is as expected." Sometimes, not answering is also a form of acknowledgement.

If you want to gain the recognition of the remaining fragments of the Yellow Turbans' will, you have to become the Yellow Turbans' chieftain. If you want to become the Yellow Turbans' chieftain, you have to gain the recognition of most of the Yellow Turbans' army.

In conclusion, if one wants to successfully observe traces of the Yellow Turbans' will, in addition to gaining recognition from the majority of the Yellow Turban Army, one must also be strong enough to possess the ability to observe their will.

The reason why Zhang Yan, as well as the two great leaders Xuan Gao and Guan Hai mentioned above, were able to gain the recognition of the Yellow Turbans' will was probably because they had opened up a way of survival for the current Yellow Turbans.

To be honest, Bai Rao did not have the will and awareness to sacrifice his life for development. The reason he knew about the existence of the Yellow Turban will was because he also had the will to survive.

……

"General, the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans entrenched in the Taihang Mountains are willing to surrender to Lord Xuande." After Li Tiao returned to Licheng, he found Yang Ji in the government office and reported the matter of the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans to him.

"If they are willing to surrender, the next things will be much simpler." Yang Ji nodded. It was not beyond his expectations that the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans would choose Liu Bei.
