The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 87
Zhang Ning's invitation to Wei Tao was naturally uneasy because of good intentions, and it was also a kind of threat to entrust the people of the Yellow Turbans to the real situation.

Could it be that Wei Tao is really capable of overcharging and overpaying?
Zhang Ning's real purpose is to use Wei Tao's reputation to establish the prestige of Taiping.

You must know that although the Yellow Turban is still powerful, it is also in danger, especially after Zhang Jiao's death, the various commanders are not in agreement with each other, even if Zhang Jiao died, it is difficult for a woman to control an army.

Moreover, after several defeats with the official army, the Yellow Turban Army always lost a bit of confidence when they faced the imperial army face to face.

If this is the case, even this elite team will be like bandits at most, and it is impossible to overthrow the Han Dynasty.

Wei Tao was the one who beheaded Zhang Liang with his own hands. If he could humiliate him, his prestige would naturally increase.

But who would have thought that Wei Tao not only came, but also did not lead the army as he expected, and dared to face it like this with only a few riders.

This made Zhang Ning's original plan come to nothing, and because he didn't expect it, he didn't set up more ambushes.

However, Zhang Ning's original method of humiliation can still be used. As long as Wei Tao agrees, it can also greatly increase Zhang Ning's prestige and the morale of the Yellow Turban.

It's a pity that Wei Tao's series of actions made her plan fail again, and on the contrary, it made the Yellow Turban Army even more fearful of the imperial army.

Now it is going back and forth again. If no one dares to fight against Wei Tao, at this point, the last spirit of Taipingdao will also collapse.

"Since Zhangjiao, there is no one left in the Yellow Turban. Nian you and others are all common people. If you are willing to put down the butcher knife, then you can also let us go back to the people again! If not, you and others will all be destroyed!"

Although these yellow scarves were strong, their morale was not high. Wei Tao saw that they were fearful, so he spoke out loudly.

"I am the prefect of Changshan, as long as you keep your own place in the future, you can forget the past!"

Zhang Ning's actions reminded Wei Tao that since the Yellow Turbans can disperse the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled among the people, why can't he do the same? As long as these Yellow Turbans are scattered, without the leader, the Yellow Turbans are different from the common people?

The people themselves are a kind of capital.

Hearing Wei Tao's words, even though those people were very loyal Taiping believers, they couldn't help being moved.

Seeing Wei Tao like this, Zhang Ning couldn't hold back even more, but before Zhang Ning could move, there was a general riding out behind him.

"Don't talk nonsense, dog officer! How can a mere eunuch guarantee my life? It's just to trick me!"

"Good come!"

Wei Tao has only dozens of people around him, and he is most afraid of the opponent rushing forward. Now it will be a one-on-one fight, how afraid Wei Tao is, he immediately rushed forward.

"clang!"

As soon as the sword and halberd were handed over, Wei Tao was still relying on his natural courage and wanted to fight down, but this full-strength halberd was blocked by the opponent's long sword.

Wei Tao was surprised, and that would be even more surprising.

Wei Tao is young and weak, although he has a reputation, but at first sight, at most he thinks that Wei Tao's martial arts are exquisite.

This will be the same thinking, but Wei Tao's own strength is not weak, which made his plan come to nothing.

"What a big man, what's your name? Tell me your name, and I'll kill you, a nameless ghost!"

The two riders passed by each other, Wei Tao turned his horse's head to meet him again, and shouted loudly at the same time.

"I am Zhang Yan, the holy way of peace, the dog official is dead!"

Zhang Yan, isn't that the Black Mountain bandit in the future?

But shouldn't Zhang Yan at this time belong to Chu Yan?
"clang!"

Because he had some impressions of Zhang Yan, Wei Tao couldn't help being slightly distracted, and he lost three points of his strength, but this time he was actually suppressed by Zhang Yan's halberd.

After suffering such a small loss, Wei Tao immediately calmed down and dealt with it with all his attention.

Wei Tao didn't know that this was the change brought about by Zhang Jiao's extra year of life. Zhang Jiao already knew that the Taiping Dao could not win quickly, so besides keeping Zhang Ning behind, he still tried to win over as many people as possible.

Zhang Yan himself is not low in martial arts, and has the ability to command a military strategy, but he was won over by Zhang Jiao, and he personally changed his surname to Zhang.

"Clang clang clang..."

Wei Tao is exquisite in martial arts, but Zhang Yan is in the middle of his life. After a dozen or so moves, the two sides fought each other but it was a tie. If it is really necessary to decide the winner, it must be a hundred moves.

"Unexpectedly, there are such capable people among the Yellow Turbans!"

Wei Tao is naturally not afraid of the fight, but he is in the enemy's camp after all. Once things change, Wei Tao is unable to deal with it.

Thinking of this, Wei Tao narrowed his eyes slightly, and then swept out with a horizontal halberd 'sweeping thousands of troops'.

"clang!"

Zhang Yan's horizontal saber blocked it, but Wei Tao's "sweeping thousands of troops" seemed to be true. When the two weapons were handed over, Wei Tao twisted suddenly, and the double halberd heads in front of the halberd immediately turned Zhang Yanchang Knife locked.

With such a lock, the two of them immediately stalemate together, each exerting their strength, they were still on par for a while.

However, since Wei Tao dared to do such a thing, he was sure of it, but he slowly forced the tip of the halberd towards Zhang Yan by virtue of the principle of "one inch long and one inch strong".

If this is the case, as long as Zhang Yan is slightly weak, it is very likely that he was injured by Wei Tao's halberd.

"Don't hurt anyone!"

Zhang Niujiao thought that Wei Tao ordered someone to apply poison before, even with the power of a saint, it would be difficult to solve, so he shouted loudly and rushed out again.

"Hey! Don't bully the few with the more, I, Dian Wei, are here!"

When Dian Wei saw Zhang Niujiao making a move, he was not slow and rushed out.

How could Zhang Niujiao be Dianwei's opponent? Wei Tao's side has not yet decided the winner. After receiving Dianwei's two moves, Zhang Niujiao couldn't hold on anymore.

"This person is my great enemy of the Holy Way of Peace. Whoever can do it can be his commander!"

But Zhang Niujiao reminded Zhang Ning like this, and immediately gave an order, and at the same time led people to rush out.

Seeing this, Wei Tao no longer continued to stand in a stalemate with Zhang Yan, he swung the opponent's weapon away, and turned his horse back.

"withdraw!"

Because Wei Tao had been prepared for a long time, with this sound, dozens of arrows shot down the Yellow Turban's position, and then followed Wei Tao.

Not long ago, he had just suffered a big loss, and this time the generals of Taiping Dao did not dare to chase after him rashly.

"What a Wei Ziyu! If there are a few more people like this in the Han Dynasty, when will I be able to achieve the great cause of the Way of Peace?"

Zhang Ning sighed softly in his heart, but his face was still calm, and he said to many yellow turban generals.

"The dog officer can gallop back and forth to harass us by relying on the speed of his horse. Even if we hide in the mountains, he can cut off my water and food. Although we may not be afraid of him, my ambition of Taiping is in the world, but it should not be wasted here. Pass me Order to disperse the old and the weak among the people, and at the same time we are preparing to withdraw from Changshan County."

"I don't know where the saint can shelter us?"

Although Zhang Yan did not win this battle, he was also considered undefeated. It finally boosted the morale of the army, so he did not hide anything from Zhang Ning.

"I want to take the capture of Shangdang and Zhongshan as the base, and then go to Hanoi to establish a foundation, and then recruit the Taiping sects from all over the world to gather together. When the strength is sufficient, I will sweep the three states of You, Bing, and Hebei within one month. .By using my Yellow Turban background, after capturing the three states and stabilizing the foundation, we can establish the Holy Kingdom of Taiping, and then advance to Luoyang to destroy the Han Dynasty in one fell swoop."

Zhang Yan is also quite a strategic person, upon hearing this, she felt that this matter is indeed feasible, she was amazed in her heart, bowed respectfully, and then said nothing.

"Saint, that dog official seems to be in trouble with my Taiping Dao to the end, and he knows my Taiping Dao and keeps people here. Will it be detrimental to my teaching?"

"I keep people here because the foundation of my teaching has not yet been established, and it is difficult to lead so many people. Second, it is also spreading the foundation for my teaching here, and it will sweep Jizhou in the future."

Zhang Ning's face was holy, and his words convinced all the yellow scarves.

"Don't say that Wei Tao is short of manpower now. Even if he has enough manpower, if he really dares to persecute my Yellow Turban followers, can't we go and come back? The only pity is that Wei Tao dared to come alone this time. If not, lay a net of heaven and earth, and they can be captured and killed in one fell swoop."

Hearing what Zhang Ning said before, everyone else agreed, but everyone's eyes were even more fierce when they heard the last sentence.

"Saint, Wei Tao doesn't have many soldiers now, why don't he take this opportunity to get rid of this serious trouble? You must know that the general Di Gong was beheaded by him."

"Although there are not many soldiers, it is enough to defend the city. Once the strong attack fails, I am afraid that the imperial army will come again. You also know that the morale of my Yellow Turban is not high. I thought I could do it this time..."

Hearing Zhang Niujiao's tough words, Zhang Ning shook his head and sighed softly at the end.

"As for the matter of General Digong, I really hate it. However, General Digong has already belonged to the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom. Even if he is alive, he should be thinking of my holy religion. How could it be because of this that he will delay my great cause of peace?"

Hearing Zhang Ning's words, all the doubts in the hearts of all the yellow scarf generals who had retreated because of Wei Tao's arrival disappeared.

Zhang Ning won the yellow scarf's heart as a woman, she really has real skills, and soon said with a serious face.

"Fortunately, this plan can't be regarded as a failure, but now the entire Jizhou except Changshan County, other prefectures do not have such strength, and they will swallow them one by one. By then, Wei Tao will be nothing. !"

While the Yellow Turbans were discussing, Wei Tao had already returned to Fucheng.

When Wei Tao arrived at the Fucheng, he saw that the Fucheng was tightly closed, but there were no signs of fighting around, even if the Yellow Turban came here and Zhang Liao was in charge, Wei Tao did not believe that he could capture the city.

But to Wei Tao's surprise, he ordered someone to call the city gate open just now, and saw Zhang Liao walking out with his upper body bare, and Beibei Jingtiao walking slowly.

The thorns of the thorns pierced into the body, and traces of blood were already seen.

At this time, Zhang Liao knelt down on one knee and bowed his hands to Wei Tao.

"The sinner, Zhang Wenyuan, failed to fulfill his duty as the city guard. Please punish him!"

"Why is Wen Yuan like this?"

Surprised, Wei Tao immediately got off his horse and went up to meet him.
