After Zhang Jiao died, he handed over the power of commanding the Yellow Turban soldiers to Zhang Liang. As for his younger brother, Zhang Jiao also knew that he had no talent and was mediocre, but he couldn't help it, and he had no good candidates. In any case, Zhang Liang is also his younger brother; what's more, Zhang Liang also led soldiers and had many battles with the Han army. I believe that under the leadership of Zhang Liang, the Yellow Turban Army can go further.

In fact, Zhang Jiao's original intention was passed on to his daughter, Zhang Ning. Zhang Ning was knowledgeable, clever, and very strategic, and she was deeply loved by Zhang Jiao, but she was only a daughter. It is impossible for Zhang Jiao to entrust the important task of leading the Yellow Turban soldiers to his daughter, unable to lead the Yellow Turbans to achieve great things, so he can only entrust such great things to his younger brother Zhang Liang.

Zhang Jiao was also worried about his younger brother Zhang Liang. When he was seriously ill, he called Zhang Yan to his side, stopped Zhang Yan who was about to salute, and pulled Zhang Yan's sign language and said earnestly: "The days left as a teacher are still not enough. Much, the only thing I worry about is my daughter Ning'er. As a teacher, I am also afraid that Zhang Liang will not be able to do anything in the future. I can only entrust my daughter to you. I hope you can treat her well. Stay away from Guangzong."

Zhang Yan wept bitterly: "Teacher, you will definitely get better!"

Zhang Jiao waved his hand with difficulty and said: "I understand my own body, you must promise me, you are my most proud disciple, you have devoted your life to the Taiping Teaching as a teacher, and have not fulfilled the responsibilities of a father, I hope you can Take good care of Ning'er for the teacher."

Zhang Yan knelt in front of Zhang Jiao's bed and said, "I must remember my teacher's words and take good care of Ning'er. If I break this oath, I will be struck by lightning."

Hearing Zhang Yan's words, Zhang Jiao let out a long sigh of relief, and called Zhang Yan to come forward and said, "Yan'er, after this uprising, the teacher also understood that the strength of the big man is not exhausted, what a pity So many believers follow me, if the Taiping Sect falls, you must keep the fire of our Taiping Sect and not let the Taiping Sect die, understand?"

Zhang Yan nodded firmly. {.

Zhang Jiao is a hero of the generation, so he naturally wouldn't think that his subordinates would obey him so obediently. Before he was about to die, he gathered all the yellow turban generals and made them swear that as long as Zhang Liang was still alive, they would all be loyal to him. , Not only that, but also ordered Zhang Yan, his favorite disciple, to assist Zhang Liang. If he found any illegal Yellow Turban Army, he could kill him first and then act later. Zhang Yan immediately became the second in command of the Yellow Turban Army.

This move not only brought Zhang Yan back to his heart, but also made the other Yellow Turbans dare not make any changes. Zhang Yan's bravery was well-known among the Yellow Turbans, and his martial arts were so strong that few people dared to provoke him. Zhang Mancheng could compete with him, but it was a pity that he was beheaded by Nanyang prefect Qin Jie on the battlefield of Nanyang.

Zhang Jiao had only one daughter, Zhang Ning, who remained in the world, and she entrusted her younger brother Zhang Liang to take care of her, and then she died.

On the day of Zhang Jiao's death, the Yellow Turban Army wept bitterly. The reason why so many people followed this uprising was entirely because of Zhang Jiao's appeal. Zhang Jiao was the backbone of all the Yellow Turban Army and was indispensable. Now Zhang Jiao Many Yellow Turban soldiers were shaken in their hearts when Jiao died before leaving the army. Zhang Jiao had always existed in their hearts like a god. In their eyes, Zhang Jiao was a fairy. I couldn't help doubting my own beliefs, and the morale of the Yellow Turban Army dropped to the lowest point.

But Zhang Liang didn't realize the current situation of the Yellow Turban Army at all. After burying his brother Zhang Jiao, Zhang Liang indulged in the beauty of singing and dancing all day long. Zhang Liang was already afraid of confronting the Han army, and he was beaten by the Han army all the way When I came to Guangzong, I knew the strength of the Han army.

At this time, several generals of his subordinates jointly came to persuade Zhang Liang to lead his army to fight the Han army several times to improve the morale of the Yellow Turban Army. Zhang Liang naturally disagreed.

These generals were all Zhang Jiao's confidantes during his lifetime. They were good generals whether leading the army or commanding the soldiers, and they were the mainstay of Zhang Jiao's army.

When Zhang Liang first ascended to a high position, his subordinates came down to point him out. He definitely couldn’t hold back on his face, and he was naturally very upset in his heart. In addition, he himself didn’t want to fight the Han army, so he frowned and thought about it; the reason why these generals dared to do this The remonstrance to himself was nothing more than relying on the fact that he was a general under Zhang Jiao before, and he had just ascended the throne. At this time, he took the opportunity to make an example to others, to establish his prestige in the army, and to see who would dare to point things out in front of him in the future.

Just do what you say, Zhang Liang immediately shouted: "It's good that you rebellious ministers dare to commit trouble, come here, and drag them out to me and behead them."

The poor yellow turban generals were beheaded by Zhang Liang for no reason, and they died unjustly.

When Zhang Yan heard the news and rushed over, these generals had already been beheaded. Seeing that the old robe Ze was decapitated like this, Zhang Yan couldn't help crying.

When Zhang Yan asked why Zhang Liang beheaded these generals, Zhang Liang just faltered and said that these generals were disloyal to him.

Faced with such a situation, Zhang Yan could only shout to the heavens in vain. Zhang Yan had heard about these things since Zhang Liang took power, but she had been busy with Zhang Jiao's funeral recently and had no time to dissuade Zhang Liang. The situation, the pity of these yellow turban generals, all the talents under Zhang Jiao's men before, did not die in the hands of the enemy, but they died under Zhang Liang's sword so uselessly.

For a while, Zhang Yan began to wonder whether Zhang Jiao's decision was correct, could the Yellow Turbans really overthrow the big man, could the people really live a good life, and could Zhang Liang lead the Yellow Turbans successfully.

Such news spread to the Han army camp that day. Huangfusong knew that the day for his counterattack had arrived, and the next day he personally led the soldiers to attack Guangzong.

The fact that Zhang Liang beheaded those generals spread like wildfire in Guangzong City. Almost all the Yellow Turban soldiers knew about it. Originally, Zhang Jiao's death was a bolt from the blue for the Yellow Turban soldiers, and their morale itself was not good. High, unexpectedly this happened again, the morale of all the Yellow Turban soldiers plummeted, and many Yellow Turban soldiers were prepared to flee.

Suddenly, there was the sound of rumbling war drums outside the city, and the sound of shouting and killing spread into the city. All the yellow turban soldiers knew that it was the Han army who had been silent for a long time and came to attack the city. They all thought about how to save their own lives.

Zhang Liang, who was drinking and having fun in Guangzong City, heard the sound of war drums and shouts outside the city, and hurriedly called his guards to ask what was going on.

The guard replied respectfully: "General Qi, it is the Han army that attacked the city!"

Zhang Liang was in a cold sweat from fright, and hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up and call all the generals to discuss military affairs, hurry, hurry!" Zhang Liang kept urging the guard.

The guards did not dare to be negligent, and hurried to convey Zhang Liang's order.

Although what Zhang Liang had done earlier chilled the hearts of all the soldiers, Zhang Liang was Zhang Jiao's appointed leader of the Yellow Turban after all. When the Han army attacked the city, the generals did not dare to neglect and rushed to Zhang Liang's residence.

Seeing that all the generals had arrived, Zhang Liang hurriedly asked the generals for help: "The Han army is attacking the city, please generals teach me what to do?" His words were extremely earnest.

The generals scorned for a while, and were extremely disgusted with Zhang Liang's sternness.

As Minister Tuogu, Zhang Yan suggested: "Now that the Han army is about to attack the city, the general should rush to the tower immediately and command the soldiers to fight the Han army. The Han army is weak and will retreat soon."

Zhang Liang immediately turned into a bitter face when he heard Zhang Yan's words. In his heart, he was a hundred people who didn't want to go up the city wall. His sword had no eyes. If he was accidentally injured, it wouldn't be worth it. If you think you are a general, a commander in chief, how can you go to the battlefield?

Frowning, Zhang Liang came to his senses and said, "Zhang Yan listened to the order. Now the general is not feeling well. I order you to rush to the city wall immediately to command the soldiers to fight the Han army. You can only win but not lose. Don't be negligent. Hurry up."

Zhang Yan naturally understood the meaning of Zhang Liang's words, and clasped her fists helplessly and replied, "Zhang Yan has the order!" After speaking, Zhang Yan ran straight to the city wall.

The generals followed Zhang Yan to the city wall without Zhang Liang's order. Zhang Liang, who was caught in the panic of the Han army attacking the city, didn't care so much.

After this incident, the contempt of the generals towards Zhang Liang was even greater. How could the generals who dare not go to the battlefield win the love of these yellow scarf warriors, and they would be even more disgusted with Zhang Liang's deeds. Zhang Jiao had sworn a poisonous oath in front of him, how could he work his life for Zhang Liang like this.

Zhang Liang also didn't understand Zhang Yan's painstaking efforts. Zhang Yan's intention was nothing more than to let Zhang Liang go up the city wall to restore some morale and increase Zhang Liang's prestige in the eyes of the soldiers.

The Han army still failed to capture Guangzong City, which had a large number of people. Even if the morale of the Yellow Turban Army was low, that number was still there.

Guangzong City was saved, but morale dropped by more than a notch. When Zhang Jiao was alive, he loved the soldiers, and every time there was a battle, he went to the city wall to command the soldiers to fight; what Zhang Jiao didn't expect was that Zhang Liang and the Han army fought so hard After a long battle, his courage is getting smaller and smaller.

Zhang Liang was completely terrified by the Han army. If his soldiers hadn't saved him, he might have died under the swords and guns of the Han army. He was very afraid of the Han army; he heard that the Han army was retreating After hearing the news, Zhang Liang immediately breathed a sigh of relief, eating, drinking and having fun as usual, not paying any attention to the war outside the city.

In the middle of the night, many yellow scarf soldiers packed their bags, left Guangzong City quietly, and fled in all directions.

After Zhang Yan, who had just fallen asleep, heard the news from the soldiers, she didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately got up, picked up the weapon at hand and rushed to the city gate. , a good habit of keeping weapons in hand.
