Three Kingdoms: Peak Summons

Chapter 373

Chapter 372: General Zhang Liang

Huang Chao didn't want everyone to see his weak side, so he lowered his head and kowtowed, saying: "Huang Chao has been defeated repeatedly. He has long been disheartened. He has no face to stay. I ask my good teacher to allow me to leave."

“That’s enough, I understand how you feel, but if you want to leave like this, I will never agree!”

 Zhang Jiao walked down, helped Huang Chao up, and said seriously: "Yellow Turban needs you, Huang Chao."

 “Good teacher.”

Looking at the old man in front of him who was both a teacher and a father, Huang Chao finally couldn't help crying in front of everyone.

 “The kindness of a good teacher, Huang Chao will never be able to protect him from death.” Huang Chao kowtowed and thanked him.

 Huang Chao feels that the luckiest thing in his life is meeting Zhang Jiao, a life mentor.

 When he was at his lowest, he gave himself the opportunity to display his talents, and when he was about to go astray, he corrected himself.

 Huang Chao has made up his mind that even if he cannot become the heir, he will spend his whole life repaying Zhang Jiao and completing the great cause of the Yellow Turban Kingdom.

Seeing that his words finally restored Huang Chao's fighting spirit, Zhang Jiao nodded happily.

"Your current condition is not suitable for continuing to participate in the war. Let's do this. I have appointed you as the governor of Qingzhou. You will go to Qingzhou to rest for a while. When you want to leave, you will come back."

Everyone looked at Huang Chao with envy upon hearing this. Although Zhang Jiao's actions were equivalent to declaring that Huang Chao had lost the qualifications to be the heir, at least Huang Chao had become a frontier official.

Although Huang Chao suffered many defeats and caused great losses to the Yellow Turbans, at least he was the architect of the Yellow Turbans' overall strategy. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that without Huang Chao, there would be no current Yellow Turbans.

With Huang Chao's merits, even if he can't be the heir, he is still more than enough as a pastor.

 As for other Qu Commanders, unless they have made great contributions, the rewards they will receive after the founding of the country may not be as good as Huang Chao's.

Within the current jurisdiction of the Yellow Turbans, Yanzhou has the most complete territory, followed by Yuzhou and Qingzhou.

Compared with Jizhou, Yangzhou, Xuzhou and other states, although Qingzhou is still relatively stable, there are still two troubles such as Beihai and Liangshan that have not yet been resolved.

Zhang Jiao appointed Huang Chao as the governor of Qingzhou, saying that he wanted to let him rest for a while and stay away from disputes, but he also wanted Huang Chao to solve the troubles in Qingzhou.

Huang Chao naturally knew this, and he was indeed not suitable to stay at the moment, so he immediately said: "Thank you, good master, Huang Chao is willing to go to Qingzhou."

 Huang Chao left, taking Zhu Wen and some of his cronies and guards with him to Qingzhou. From then on, Xiang Yu had no competitors among the Yellow Turbans.

Of course, the premise is that the Yellow Turbans can win the final victory and Xiang Yu can ascend to the throne.

“Reporting to the great virtuous master, Qin Wen, the commander-in-chief of the Han army, sent a letter of war, inviting our army to fight outside Luoyang City in three days.”

None of the commanders expected that Qin Wenwen would take the initiative to ask for war, and they were all talking about it.

Zhang Jiao was also puzzled by this, so he looked at Guo Jia next to him and asked: "Qin Wen's defense is barely adequate, but he actually dares to ask for a fight. Is there a conspiracy in this?"

Guo Jia chuckled and was about to respond, but then someone walked in from outside the tent, smiling and saying:

"The Han army had just suffered a major defeat and was at a time when morale was low. Qin Wen was an expert in defensive warfare and knew that such an army would be defeated sooner or later. Therefore, Qin Wen needed to use a victory to encourage the morale of the entire army, and only This way he can keep it for a long time.”

After seeing the visitor, all the commanders saluted together and said: "Greetings to General Ren Gong." The person who came was none other than Zhang Jiao's third brother, General Zhang Liang, but this Zhang Liang has now been assassinated by Zhang Liang. Use Zhang Liang to call Zhang Liang) instead.

After hearing what Zhang Liang said, Guo Jia couldn't help but shrink his pupils, because what Zhang Liang said was exactly the same as what he was thinking.

 Looking into Zhang Liang’s deep eyes. Guo Jia couldn't help but think of Qin Hao's evaluation of Zhang Liang in the letter he wrote to him.

Zhang Liang was a man of great intelligence and flawless planning, comparable to Zhang Liang, the Marquis of Liu.

At first Guo Jia didn’t believe it, but after meeting Zhang Liang himself, Guo Jia believed it.

Guo Jia is a little confused. Since Zhang Liang is so powerful, as a general, he should have been revealed long ago, but why has he remained unknown?

How did Guo Jia know that since the system implanted Zhang Liang's identity into Zhang Liang, it would naturally rationalize all unreasonable things.

Although the new Zhang Liang has great plans, it is precisely because of this that he is not optimistic about his brother Zhang Jiao's uprising.

From the very beginning, Zhang Liang knew that the Yellow Turbans would be defeated. He knew that even if he took action, it would be useless. He could not defy the odds with his own strength. Therefore, Zhang Liangcai had been working hard and was preparing to live in seclusion as soon as he was defeated.

But what happened next shocked Zhang Liang. Not only did the Yellow Turbans win many battles, but they also attacked Luoyang.

The current situation of the Yellow Turbans can be said to be great, but in Zhang Liang's eyes, it is still full of dangers. One wrong move may lead to the whole game being lost.

 However, compared with before, it has created a new situation.

　　Previously, the Yellow Turbans were in a desperate situation, but now they have hope of winning.

If the Yellow Turbans were bound to be defeated, it would be fine if Zhang Liang did not work hard, but since there was hope of victory, Zhang Liang could no longer remain indifferent.

If even his younger brother doesn't support his eldest brother, then who else can support him?

 So Zhang Liang came and brought the remaining army from Yanzhou with him.

After seeing Zhang Liang, Zhang Jiao was not happy at all. Instead, he snorted coldly and said lightly: "Here he comes."

Hearing his elder brother's cold attitude, Zhang Liang smiled bitterly, knowing that his elder brother was blaming him, but Zhang Liang didn't care.

 “My younger brother brought an army of 200,000 to my elder brother this time!” Zhang Liang said with a smile.

Yanzhou Yellow Turbans have all been brought over by Zhang Liang, and now the total number of Yellow Turbans in Daguguan is 500,000, Xiaopingjin is 200,000, and 700,000 Yellow Turbans have been stationed in Sili

Zhang Jiao nodded and asked: "Since Qin Wen has this plan, Zifang, do you think our army should engage in the battle?"

"Of course we have to fight. If our army of 700,000 soldiers refuses to fight, wouldn't it mean that we are afraid of Qin Wen? So we must fight even if we are defeated."

 Zhang Liang answered directly without thinking, and his words hit Zhang Jiao's heart.

 The Han army was afraid of Xiang Yu, so how could the Yellow Turban army not be afraid of Qin Wen?

Since the Yellow Turbans raised their troops, more than half of the defeats were at the hands of the Qin family and his sons. The Qin family's father and son alone were responsible for more than half of all the Yellow Turbans' casualties.

Now Qin Wen wants to rely on a victory to stimulate the morale of the Han army, and Zhang Jiao also wants to use a victory to eliminate the fear of Qin Wen among the Yellow Turban soldiers.

The second update is here, Zhang Liang is on the stage, and the decisive battle is about to begin. Please recommend and subscribe with a monthly ticket!
