The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 68
"Could it be that the yellow scarf is my death? Could it be that the Taiping Holy Kingdom should not be established?"

Zhang Jiao also saw his two brothers being killed one after another, but Zhang Jiao didn't feel sad about it at this time, instead he was worried about whether the Holy Kingdom of Taiping could be established.

"I established the Holy Kingdom of Taiping not as my family's surname, but to make all people equal in the world, and everyone has food to eat, fields to farm, and clothes to wear. Is there something wrong?"

For a moment, Zhang Jiao felt hopeless, he let out a long sigh, and suddenly snatched a long knife from the hand of the yellow scarf warrior next to him, and wiped it at his neck.

"Since the heavens want to destroy my Taiping Holy Kingdom, then blame me, Zhang Jiao!"

Shouting at the sky suddenly, Zhang Jiao committed suicide without hesitation.

"No Holy Duke!"

Zhang Jiao himself is not a strong general after all, the speed of this blow is not considered fast, on the contrary, the roar woke up the people next to him, and several loyal Yellow Turban believers rushed up to prevent Zhang Jiao from committing suicide.

Even so, the sharp long knife made a cut on Zhang Jiao's neck, and a lot of blood flowed out.

"Sheng Gong, the great event has not been accomplished, but now my Taiping believers are all over the continents of the Han Dynasty, and they all want to work with Sheng Gong to build a Datong and Peaceful World. Now it is just a small setback, and it must be God's test of my Taiping Holy Kingdom , Why did Shenggong commit suicide?"

Hearing the words of the big man next to him, Zhang Jiao was silent for a moment, and his eyes were bright again after a while.

Zhang Jiao looked up, but saw that countless yellow scarves were desperately resisting Dong Zhuo's army, allowing Dong Zhuo's men to kill, but they never retreated.

"That's right, the sky is dead, and Huang Tian should be established. How can my Taiping Holy Kingdom fail?"

Zhang Jiao, who had regained his fighting spirit, stretched out his hand, and a smear of liquid medicine appeared on his hand, and then wiped the wound on his neck, and the wound healed immediately, leaving only a light red scar.

"Heaven's general will put great tasks on the people, and he must first suffer from his will, his muscles and bones, and then his body will be starved. How can we be free from hardships when we act and seek greatness? After the hardships, it will be the time for my Taiping Holy Kingdom to achieve glorious achievements! "

After the words fell, Zhang Jiao completely calmed down.

"Give me an order to order the warriors of the yellow scarf to resist the incoming enemy, and the rest of the army will follow me and withdraw!"

With Zhang Jiao's order, the yellow turban wrestlers were divided into two teams immediately, one team of guards walked around Zhang Jiao, and the other team entangled the imperial army tightly, regardless of life and death.

"Wenyou, let this corner leave like this, okay?"

Dong Zhuo narrowed his eyes slightly, and kept slashing with the big knife in his hand, as if he had done his best.

But only those who know Dong Zhuo's own military strength can understand that Dong Zhuo himself is also a near-first-rate general, how could he be entangled by these yellow scarf warriors all the time and unable to escape?

"Zhang Jiao is the court's trouble, not the master's trouble. The master has great ambitions, so why worry about the court?"

Although Li Ru is a scholar, his own martial arts skills are not bad. Although he can't fight against thousands of troops, it is not difficult to save his life among ordinary soldiers.

"What's more, if there is no Zhang Jiao and others, how can the imperial court reuse the lord? Don't you hear that the birds are exhausted, the good bows are hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooked?"

"What Wen You said is true."

Dong Zhuo nodded, he no longer had the intention of chasing and killing Zhang Jiao.

On the other side, Wei Tao was also powerless. Originally, the army he led had just forcibly captured Guangzong, and then chased and killed Zhang Liang all the way. Now it is exhausted, and after beheading Zhang Liang, it is no longer powerless. Chase Zhang Jiao.

"Don't let Zhang Jiao run away!"

But at this moment, Liu Guanzhang and the others are struggling to catch up.

However, although the three of them were surrounded by countless yellow scarves at the beginning, with the bravery of Liu Guanzhang and the three of them, the Yellow Turban army could do nothing for a while.

When Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang died one after another, the morale of countless Yellow Turbans was greatly reduced. It was even more helpless for Liu Guan and Zhang to beheaded and killed many soldiers by the three.

And when the three of them saw Zhang Jiao retreating and running away, their eyes lit up.

If he could get the merit of beheading Zhang Jiao, and Liu Bei himself was a clan member of the Han family, wouldn't he be valued by the court?

Thinking of this moment, Liu Guanzhang naturally worked harder, and chased Zhang Jiao straight away.

Now that Zhang Jiao had fled, the remaining Yellow Turban soldiers would naturally lose their morale. Apart from the most loyal believers who were dedicated to fighting for the Holy Kingdom of Taiping, many Yellow Turbans had already fled in all directions.

The victory is set!

Lu Zhi is a veteran general in the army, and under such circumstances, it is natural that the Yellow Turban Army will not be able to turn around, and he will immediately order people to kill all the loyal Yellow Turban Army.

They are all generals in battle, so naturally there is nothing unbearable at this time.

"Ugh……"

However, Wei Tao still sighed secretly.

Although these yellow turban elites are not strict in discipline, their foundations are not bad, especially they have been in battle and experienced life and death, which is by no means comparable to that of ordinary townspeople.

If they can be recruited into an army, with a few months of training, a strong army can be formed.

It's a pity, not to mention that Lu Zhi was watching from the side at this time, even if he was alone all the way, Wei Tao didn't dare to surrender these Yellow Turban soldiers at will.

At this time, after the Dong Zhuo Rebellion, when the prestige of the Han Dynasty was completely in shambles, if Wei Tao dared to recruit troops wantonly, then it would probably take a few days, and the hat of intentional rebellion would be put on his head.

Not to mention the intention to recruit the Yellow Turban, which is the most serious crime among the major crimes. As long as one dares to commit it, the order to kill the nine clans may come from the imperial court.

As for not letting the court know.

If people don't know, unless they do nothing, let alone such a huge event, there is no way to hide it.

"What's on your mind, Mr. Wei?"

But at this moment, Li Ru smiled and rode to Wei Tao's side. At this time, the battle was over, and more of it was just cleaning the battlefield.

"What's on your mind?"

Wei Tao replied with a smile, but when he saw the half-smile on Li Ru's face, he couldn't help feeling a little bit awe-inspiring.

The person in front of him is the number one counselor today, and it is not so easy to fool him.

"So that's the case. I think Mr. Wei is also worried about that horn. I don't know how Mr. Wei thinks that I am a big man who has been in chaos. How can I cheer up?"

Li Ru smiled again, but he didn't care about Wei Tao's perfunctory, but what he said shocked Wei Tao's heart even more.

"Mr. Li, what is the meaning of this? Now that I am a strong man, and the princes of the court are working hard, the barbarians dare not commit crimes. Even if this corner is ignorant of current affairs, it will only disappear in a blink of an eye. Why did you say that, sir! "

People like Li Ru would definitely not speak easily, and Wei Tao was fully prepared to deal with it.

"Hehe... that's true, but I was abrupt."

But to Wei Tao's surprise, Li Ru smiled slightly, then nodded and said that he was no longer talking, which made Wei Tao a little bit stunned.

Naturally, Wei Tao didn't know that when Li Ru returned to Dong Zhuo's side, he spoke to Dong Zhuo.

"This son is skilled in martial arts, and he is also rigorous in leading the army. He is even more cautious in character. Considering his age, if he can subdue him, it will be a help. If he can't, it will be a problem! My lord, be careful!"

Wei Tao naturally didn't know that Li Ru was using these few words to test himself.

However, if Wei Tao can hear this conclusion, he must be shocked. This conclusion is indeed somewhat in line with his own temperament.

Zhang Jiao's escape was a matter of great importance, and soon Lu Zhi also sent people to investigate, but in the end, only Liu Guan and Zhang returned with depressed faces.

"Has the bandit leader ever taken that horn?"

Lu Zhi didn't care about so many formalities, and asked loudly when he saw the three of them.

"I don't know what method that thief bird used. After fleeing into a mountain forest, he just disappeared. If it is extremely hateful!"

Zhang Fei was born with a loud voice, and he started yelling when he heard Lu Zhi's question.

"If Zhang Jiao's bandit leader is not eliminated, the world will have no peace. I will blockade Jizhou and prevent Zhang Jiao from escaping here!"

Lu Zhi quickly made a decision, but Liu, Guan and Zhang were meaningless, especially Liu Bei assured Lu Zhi that he would do his best to capture Zhang Jiao.

But Wei Tao lost much interest.

That Zhangjiao is at least the leader of the sect, and has all kinds of means. Once he escapes into the forest, it is not easy to find him, let alone capture and kill him?

Therefore, at this moment, Wei Tao stepped forward and bowed his hands.

"Lu Zhonglang, the reason why I came here is to help Lu Zhonglang attack Guangzong. Now that Guangzong has fallen, although there is still the bandit leader who has not been captured, it is only a matter of time before Lu Zhonglang's ability is used. Therefore, But I want to retire and leave Jizhou.”

"This……"

Lu Zhi stroked his beard, but remained silent for a while.

These days, Lu Zhi is still very optimistic about Wei Tao, not to mention that the relationship between Lu Zhi and Wang Yun and others is not bad, and he is naturally willing to see Wei Tao make contributions, but now he feels a little pity for Wei Tao .

"That's fine, but are you planning to return to Yuzhou?"

But soon Lu Zhi thought that Wei Tao was a young man after all, if he really made such a great achievement, there would be both benefits and benefits, and it would be the best.

"I want to report to Lu Zhonglang, I want to return to Chenliu, but before that, I will go to Yuzhou to hand over the soldiers and horses to General Mengde again. I am only a local official now, so it's fine if the matter is urgent. Now the main force of the Yellow Turban If you want to punish him, it would be a big mistake to command the soldiers and horses."

Hearing Wei Tao's words, Lu Zhi naturally nodded with satisfaction, and then happily sent him off.

However, what surprised Wei Tao was that Dong Zhuo also left at this time, but Dong Zhuo left behind the imperial reinforcements he brought, and only left with his own troops.

After the situation stabilized, Lu Zhi rushed to report to the imperial court, and even presented the heads of Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao. As a person, Lu Zhi did not have the slightest credit for being greedy. people.

As soon as the news reached the court, there was joy inside and outside the court. On the one hand, Emperor Ling of Han ordered Lu Zhi to step up the siege of Zhang Jiao, and on the other hand, he ordered to reward Wei Tao and Dong Zhuo.
