Three Kingdoms: Peak Summons

Chapter 464 The name of the country is Ming Empire

Chapter 463: The name of the country is Ming Empire

In the north, Huangfu Song used a fire attack to kill tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans. After breaking through, he led his troops directly south to attack Mengjin.

In the south, Qin Hao defeated Xiang Yu and took advantage of the situation to seize Guangcheng Pass. Now when attacking Yique Pass, he divided his troops to attack Dagong Pass.

 After learning these pieces of news, the anger in the big tent was instantly suppressed to the extreme.

Who would have thought that the nearly 600,000 troops in the north and south could be defeated so easily, and so completely, that it even directly affected them.

 Next, if the three passes are failed, Sizhou will definitely face the situation of being encircled from all sides, so the encirclement of the Han army must not be formed. This is what Qu Shuai thought in his heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked around and said calmly: "Although the three passes are still in our hands and reinforcements have been sent to Luoyang, the situation is still not optimistic. The military advisor and the young master are not strong enough, so we must return to Luoyang immediately."

 When he mentioned the ‘young master’, Zhu Yuanzhang’s eyes flashed with a hint of admiration unconsciously, and the other commanders unexpectedly calmed down.

Just before the decisive battle on the Han River, Zhang Jiao announced in public that Zhang Sheng was his only son. This incident caused an uproar among the Yellow Turbans.

 At the beginning, everyone in the Yellow Turbans believed that the successor to the great sage was either Xiang Yu or Huang Chao.

 However, as Huang Chao was defeated and demoted, and Xiang Yu fell out of favor due to the massacre and was demoted, Renggong General Zhang Liang seemed to be the only candidate.

Qin Hao has been deliberately concealing the news of Zhang Liang's capture, and Zhang Jiao has not deliberately disclosed it, so most people in the Yellow Turbans do not know that Zhang Liang has been captured.

Everyone thought that the future emperor of the Kingdom of Heaven must be Zhang Liang, the younger brother of the Great Xian Liang Shi. But who would have thought that on the eve of the founding of the country, the Great Xian Liang Shi had a son suddenly appear.

The battle for the Yellow Turban successor has already been tortuous and tortuous enough, but Xianza’s turn really shocked everyone.

By the way, didn’t the Great Master only have two daughters?

Also, this boy named Zhang Sheng, ah no, he is the young master, why did he show up without any warning? Isn't this confidentiality work too good?

Most of the lower class people in the Yellow Turbans are illiterate civilians, and not many people are really knowledgeable. Almost everyone thinks that Zhang Jiao deliberately concealed Zhang Sheng's identity in order to protect this single seedling.

But the fact is that the Yellow Turbans have been left in an embarrassing situation with no successor. Zhang Jiao had no choice but to let his adopted daughter disguise herself as a man, otherwise once he died, the leaderless Yellow Turbans would immediately fall apart, and the good situation would also fall apart.

Zhu Yuanzhang was one of the few people who noticed Zhang Jue's intentions and understood Zhang Sheng's true identity. He had a different kind of reverence for the saint who stepped forward and was now the young master.

 Zhu Yuanzhang felt extremely sad when he thought of the saint's breathtakingly beautiful face, but having to use her daughter's body to carry the future of the Yellow Turban.

 Saintess, no, young master, even if everyone is against it, I, Zhu Yuanzhang, will definitely support you.

Although Zhang Sheng held the title of young master, most Qu commanders did not agree with him. After all, he had not made any achievements at all, and the only people he supported were Zhang Jiao's die-hard party members, and Zhu Yuanzhang was one of Zhang Jiao's die-hard party members.

 “It is necessary to retreat, but we cannot directly let the whole army retreat.”

Chen Youliang said to Zhu Yuanzhang with a serious face: "Sufficient troops must be left to garrison. Otherwise, if the Han army takes advantage of our retreating division to attack, our army may be in danger of being defeated."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded. He was also dizzy with anxiety. How could the 400,000 Han army let them go so easily?

“What Chen Shuai said makes sense, but among you, who among you is willing to take the initiative to stay behind?”

Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that staying here was not a good idea. After all, Qin Wen and Dong Zhuo's 400,000 troops were not easy to deal with, but there were so many commanders present but no one stood up, which made him look a little bad.

Seeing this, Chen Youliang had a flash of struggle in his eyes, and after thinking for a long time, he stood up and said: "The general is willing to stay." "Okay." Zhu Yuanzhang stood up suddenly and said happily: "I will leave a hundred thousand troops for Chen Shuai, and we must defend the wild king to the death. "

The Han army has the natural danger of Hangu, and the Yellow Turbans are not without danger. Yewang City is the best fortress. With sufficient food and grass, a hundred thousand troops can defend it for a year.

 It is a pity that neither Zhu Yuanzhang nor Chen Youliang thought that the Han army had no intention of pursuing or attacking the city. All they wanted was to trap the Yellow Turbans to death.

In this way, Chen Youliang led an army of 100,000 troops to defend Yewang City, while Zhu Yuanzhang led an army of more than 600,000 troops to return to Luoyang. However, before he even arrived in Luoyang, he received news of the fall of Dagu Pass.

　　————

 Luoyang, the Imperial Palace.

After learning the news that Xiang Yu defeated Zhang Liang and was captured, Zhang Jiao's health continued to deteriorate. Now he was at the limit. The reason why he hadn't died yet was just relying on the obsession in his heart to hold on.

In order not to irritate Zhang Jiao, Diao Chan, not Zhang Sheng, even dared to tell the news about the defeat of the North Route Army and the fall of Dagu Pass. When Zhang Jiao asked her, he only reported good news and not bad news.

Zhang Sheng picked up the medicinal food and carefully fed it one bite at a time, while asking: "Father, now that the founding of the country is imminent, what do you think the name of the country should be?"

Zhang Jiao, who looked weak, immediately became energetic when he heard this. After thinking deeply, he solemnly said: "The heaven and the earth rotate in an orderly manner, the sun, the moon, the yin and the yang. Why not use 'Ming' as the name of the country."

 “The Ming Empire?” Zhang Sheng murmured to himself, then smiled and said, “What a good name.”

 After serving Zhang Jue and taking medicine, Zhang Sheng walked to the meeting hall of the palace hall.

 Zhang Sheng, dressed in men's clothing, was three points more handsome than Song Yu and Pan An, and the eyes of the unknowing palace maids were full of admiration.

Standing at the entrance of the main hall, looking at the entire palace, Zhang Sheng sighed in a low voice: "We will still be defeated in the end. What's the point of continuing to fight even though the beast is trapped? It's just adding casualties."

Zhang Sheng did not expect that the Han Dynasty would make a comeback in the "Trapped Dragon Situation". Although he knew that the Yellow Turban was doomed to fail, he still couldn't help but feel sad when the day came, not to mention that she was about to become the emperor as the heir to the Kingdom of Heaven.

 Teacher, is this your purpose? Let the common people and the aristocratic families fight and lose both sides? Zhang Sheng thought to himself.

Guo Jia walked to Zhang Sheng's side and said: "The Great Sage Master failed, but it also completely destroyed the foundation of the Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty, which has completely lost the support of the world and the people, will surely perish sooner or later."

Zhang Sheng glanced at Guo Jia and said nothing. Seeing that Zhang Sheng ignored him, Guo Jia was dissatisfied and said: "Former Yellow Number One, I helped you solve so many troubles, but you ignored me, is this really okay? ?”

 Zhang Jiao's current body is no longer able to handle government affairs. Basically all the government affairs of the Yellow Turban are handled by Zhang Sheng.

Guo Jia and Feng Yunshan became Zhang Sheng's right-hand men. They helped Zhang Sheng solve almost all his troubles.
