After receiving the news from the imperial court, Lu Zhi was greatly excited and summoned the whole army to announce the news. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Everyone was excited. The time will finally come to an end to this rebellion.

Zhang Jiao, who was in a meeting, heard such news, and spit out a mouthful of blood on the spot and fainted. Everyone was very nervous and gathered around.

Under Lang Zhong's treatment, Zhang Jiao woke up slowly.

"Big brother, you've finally woken up." Zhang Liang said with concern.

"Help me up." Zhang Jiao struggled to his feet.

Zhang Liang hurriedly helped Zhang Jiao up. Zhang Jiao's brain was already sober, he looked at the crowd around him, and said, "Pass my order, all the troops of Taiping Dao will gather in Jizhou." Our army moved to Gwangjong. General Digong stayed, and everyone else went down to make arrangements, and I will fight to the death with the officials and troops in Guangzong. ”

Except for Zhang Liang, all the Yellow Turban Party generals went down to make arrangements.

"Big brother, the situation is already very unfavorable for us, what should we do." As one of the three major leaders, Zhang Liang knew more than the others.

"Let's go to the third brother." Zhang Jiao said.

The two soon arrived at Zhang Bao's residence. Zhang Bao is still recuperating due to the serious injury he was injured last time. After entering, Zhang Jiao ordered the guards not to enter.

Zhang Bao saw the two brothers coming here, and said with a smile: "Two brothers, how can you have time to come to me." ”

Zhang Jiao said with a heavy face: "I came here today, I have some important things to tell you to do. ”

Zhang Bao was surprised and looked at Zhang Liang, who also had a heavy face. Zhang Bao couldn't help but feel a sinking in his heart, it was estimated that the war had changed dramatically.

"I received a battle report today, and the Bocai army besieging the official army had been annihilated by the official army a few days ago. Now the army of the official army is moving closer to Jizhou. The situation has turned against me. Zhang Jiao said heavily.

Zhang Bao was shocked and said, "No." Is it a rumor spread by the official army? ”

"Third brother, this matter was reported by Bocai's subordinates after the death battle, and it can't be faked. And the Dog Emperor has already spread this matter to the world, so he can't be wrong. Zhang Liang explained.

"So what are we going to do?" Zhang Bao said.

"I have some arrangements for you to do here. I have gathered all the troops of Taiping Dao to come to Jizhou and fight to the death with the official army. But just in case, the second brother, you led the Taiping Dao old and weak to sneak into the Black Mountain of Bingzhou, so as not to drag down the decisive battle with the official army. Third brother, you lead a part of the troops, gather the Taiping Dao colleagues who came, and go to Yangcheng to garrison to prevent the official army from attacking the rear of Guangzong. I led the main force to fight the official army in a decisive battle. Zhang Jiao commanded.

Zhang Liang looked at Zhang Jiao deeply and said, "Big brother, do you want the two of us to leave you and let you carry it alone." The official army is powerful, and it is very dangerous for you to stay in Guangzong. ”

Zhang Bao also reacted and said hurriedly: "Big brother, our three brothers have depended on each other since childhood, and we will not leave you." ”

Zhang Jiao was discovered by them, and he also sighed and said, "The official army has surrounded me. For the sake of the future of Taiping Dao, I have to make this arrangement and leave a root for Taiping Dao. If you can't do anything, you will be incognito and leave a legacy for our Zhang family. ”

Zhang Jiao planned to leave his life to his two younger brothers. embarked on the road of rebellion, and the result of failure was the annihilation of the whole clan. Zhang Jiao, as the leader, has long been prepared to die for this. In order for the Zhang family to survive, Zhang Jiao had to arrange it like this.

"Big brother, we can't keep you." Zhang Bao cried.

"Big brother, you are tantamount to injustice to me. I'm not going to run away. Zhang Liang was very unhappy.

"Bastard, you don't think I'm your big brother. All three of us are here, if all of them die in battle, the Zhang family will be the last one, and under the nine springs, how will we face my father and mother. Zhang Jiao was really angry.

"Big brother, if the two of us follow the arrangement of the eldest brother, then the officials and the army will know that there must be rumors, which will cause panic." Zhang Liang analyzed sincerely.

Zhang Jiao was a little helpless.

"It's better to let the third brother lead the troops to Yangcheng. As for the old and weak, he was led by the eldest brother's disciple Zhang Niujiao and infiltrated the state. I stayed in Guangzong to assist my eldest brother in his fight against the enemy. So that the officers and soldiers will not be suspicious. Zhang Liang suggested.

Zhang Jiao nodded. Zhang Bao disagreed a little, but at the insistence of the two brothers, Zhang Bao could only agree.

Zhang Jiao called Zhang Niujiao over and told Zhang Niujiao about the matter.

Zhang Niujiao said that he wanted to follow his master to live and die together.

Although Zhang Jiao was very relieved in his heart, he scolded Zhang Niujiao for being unfilial, if he did not obey the teacher's orders, he would deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors, and Zhang Jiao would expel him from the division.

Zhang Niujiao tearfully agreed to Zhang Jiao.

Zhang Jiao saw that Zhang Niujiao was so filial, and he also revealed his true feelings. decided to accept Zhang Niujiao as a righteous son, and gave him the holy relic of Taiping Dao, the Taiping True Scripture.

Zhang Jiao told Zhang Niujiao that if his soul returned to Huangtian, he would be the second sect leader of Taiping Dao.

Zhang Niujiao was shocked and said that he was weak and could not occupy such a high position.

Zhang Jiao encouraged him, claiming that he was very optimistic about him.

In the end, Zhang Niujiao accepted Zhang Jiao's entrustment with excitement.

Zhang Jiao is not really optimistic about him. Zhang Jiao had already predicted his defeat, and in order to leave a way back for his two younger brothers, the position of the leader of the Taiping Dao Sect must not be given to the two younger brothers. Therefore, Zhang Jiao was very generous and passed the position of the sect leader to Zhang Niujiao.

Zhang Jiao accepted Zhang Niujiao as a righteous son, and it was not a sudden idea. It is hoped that Zhang Niujiao will bear the name of Zhang Jiao's righteous son, attract the attention and firepower of the government, and prevent disasters for his younger brother.

That night, Zhang Niujiao and his righteous son Zhang Yan took the yellow scarf to the old and weak by the night, and secretly sneaked into the Black Mountain of Bingzhou. Zhang Bao also led a part of his troops to Yangcheng to garrison, and continued to absorb other Yellow Turban troops, the number of which reached 100,000.

The movements of the yellow scarf were soon discovered by the officers and soldiers. Lu Zhi ordered a pursuit, but unfortunately Zhang Niujiao had already entered the Black Mountain area, and the officers and troops could no longer pursue.

Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang led the Yellow Turban Army to retreat to Guangzong.

Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, and Cao Cao led their troops to join Lu Zhi. The strength of the officers and troops has increased dramatically. Lu Zhi seized this opportunity, dug deep trenches, built moats, and surrounded Guangzong. At the same time, he instructed the craftsmen in the army to build a ladder and prepare to attack Guangzong in one fell swoop.

Cao Cao and Liu Yu finally met again.

"Bo Xuan, we can finally gallop together on the field." Cao Cao, who was dressed in a draped coat, patted Liu Yu's shoulder and said with a smile.

"Brother Mengde, congratulations on getting what you wanted. Let's work together for Dahan. Liu Yu was also happy for Cao Cao.

The two were ready to catch up again, and the herald came to inform Lu Zhi to convene a pre-war meeting of the generals.

The military situation is important, Liu Yu and Cao Cao can't take care of the old days, and go to the big tent together.
