Now, the entire four eastern counties of Julu County have completely fallen into the hands of the Yellow Turban Army.

This location is the most important choke point in the southern part of Jizhou. It is located in the middle of the four counties of Jizhou, with convenient transportation, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The fall of this place made the entire southern part of Jizhou exposed to the threat of the Yellow Turban Army.

If the Yellow Turban Army can bring the power of the officers and soldiers of great victory, enter the four counties of Kou. Those who have been oppressed and homeless will respond.

However, at this critical moment, the spiritual leader of the Yellow Turban Army could not afford to fall ill. This not only made the Yellow Turban Army miss an excellent opportunity for expansion, but also left a very big shadow in the hearts of many Yellow Turban Army.

On this day, Zhang Liang left the Yellow Turban Army in Qiu County and hurried to Guangzong with some cronies.

His brother has been in a coma for a few days, and Zhang Liang is anxious every day. However, Qiu County is a very important location, and he was afraid that Huangfu Song would come to attack the city, so he never left.

Just a few days ago, Zhang Liang received news from the scouts, saying that after Huangfu Song heard that the officers and soldiers of Jizhou had been completely annihilated, he stopped marching and rested in Wei County.

Perhaps in Huangfu Song's opinion, since the officers and soldiers of Julu County have been defeated, there is no need for him to urge the soldiers to march quickly every day and come to the rescue.

Zhang Liang, who heard the news, finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and immediately came to Guangzong under the stars.

Zhang Lianglong walked in a tiger step, lined up the crowd, and entered the house.

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, serving beside Zhang Jiao, saw Zhang Liang come in, wiped a handful of tears, and said: "Uncle, Ah Weng has been unconscious, the doctors and workers are helpless, and I myself have nothing to do. ”

As she spoke, the girl began to sob.

Zhang Liang was also worried, but when he saw his niece's appearance, it was not easy to put anxiety on his face. He calmed down and said to the girl: "Ling'er, brother, he will be fine if he is blessed by Huang Tian." ”

This girl, surnamed Zhang Mingling, is Zhang Jiao's only daughter.

Zhang Jiao's family was poor when he was young, and he had to support his two younger brothers, married his wife late, and never had an heir. Later, he finally had Zhang Ling's daughter, but at this time, Zhang Jiao had already founded Taiping Dao and was running around preaching every day.

His wife later contracted the disease and died, but fortunately, there were two brothers, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, who brought Zhang Ling up.

Later, Zhang Jiao, who returned to the township, loved this only daughter very much.

After Zhang Jiao got the 'Taiping Technique', he came up with the idea of creating Taiping Dao. He regarded it as a treasure and refused to show it easily.

'Taiping Yaoshu', also known as 'Taiping Qing Lingshu', is an important classic of primitive Taoism in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The original book is divided into 10 parts, each of which is 17 volumes, a total of 170 volumes.

Its volumes are voluminous and the contents are huge.

It is probably based on the way of Fengtian, conforming to the purpose of the five acts of yin and yang, and widely expounding the way of governing the world, the rules of ethics, as well as the art of longevity and becoming immortals, curing diseases and maintaining health, and channeling the gods.

It is said to be a self-contained system, with the law of heaven and earth, governing the government and self-cultivation, and achieving peace in the world as the main purpose. On behalf of the lower-class people, there is an idea of opposing the rulers bullying the weak and advocating self-reliance and helping the poor and the poor.

It can be said that the 'Taiping Technique' changed the trajectory of Zhang Jiao's life and also changed the history of the entire Han Empire.

Zhang Jiao, who regards the 'Taiping Technique' as a treasure, never hides it from his daughter. also often explained the content to Zhang Ling.

Zhang Ling is not interested in other contents in 'Taiping Yaoshu', but she favors the content related to healing and health preservation.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that when she was a child, she saw her mother die of illness?

She is self-taught, and she is also quite talented in the content of healing and health preservation, and she has long seen that her father has run out of oil.

For this reason, she persuaded Zhang Jiao several times to let him not work too hard and recuperate. However, as the supreme leader of the Yellow Turban, Zhang Jiao has a lot of things to deal with every day, so how can he really stop and rest?

Zhang Ling listened to her uncle's comfort, but her delicate face did not improve in the slightest, and her eyes were full of tears.

She knew her father's body best. Moreover, although he read the 'Taiping Technique', he didn't believe the claims about ghosts and gods in it.

Wiping away a handful of tears, she went to the bedside and quietly looked at her father's old face. Since her mother died and her father returned, he has loved her very much.

As long as Zhang Jiao is at home, he will always take Zhang Ling with him.

Getting along with her father every day, no one understands better than her how much effort Zhang Jiao has spent for this uprising.

In particular, his favorite disciple Tang Zhou rebelled and reported the news that the Taiping Sect wanted to rebel to the imperial court. He was even more exhausted and remorseful.

Therefore, in just one year, the man who was once high-spirited and fairy-like has become like this.

Zhang Liang took away his niece, quietly looked at Zhang Jiao, who was unconscious, and felt sad in his heart, and couldn't help but say: "Brother, brother, now that we have defeated the officers and soldiers, even Huangfu Song has stopped in Wei County and dare not advance." ”

"In such a good situation, why is my brother just asleep?"

Zhang Liang sat on the bed and called softly. Their family was poor, and their parents died young. He and Zhang Bao were both brought up by Zhang Jiao alone.

As the saying goes, the eldest brother is like a father, not to mention that Zhang Jiao is not only the eldest brother, but also raised the two since childhood? Therefore, the relationship between the three brothers is very deep.

Zhang Liang thought about his brother's goodness, and for a while, tears fell involuntarily.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a hand grasp his arm, and his heart was startled. When he saw that it was his brother's arm, he immediately cried with joy and said excitedly: "Brother, you have finally woken up!" ”

Zhang Jiaoyou opened his eyes, coughed twice, and looked at his brother's anxious face, a trace of tenderness flashed in his heart.

Zhang Liang is now overjoyed, and he is going to go out and call Zhang Ling in, and then tell the good news to the three armies, so as to stabilize the morale of the army.

But he didn't want to, Zhang Jiao tried to sit up from the bed and stopped Zhang Liang's actions.

He sighed and said, "You left Qiu County and came here, now Qiu County may have fallen into the hands of officers and soldiers!" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Liang was horrified in his heart and hurriedly asked, "How is this possible?" Didn't Huangfu Song stop marching and be stationed in Guantao? ”

Shaking his head, Zhang Jiao said: "Although Huangfu Song is brutal, he is worthy of the title of a famous general of the Han Dynasty. He has repeatedly defeated the Yellow Turban Army in Yuzhou, how can he be a wasted person? ”

"Huangfu Song's use of soldiers, if the imagination is free, the speed is like lightning. Everywhere he goes, he can quickly defeat his enemies as long as he sees the right time. ”

"With Huangfu Song's pride and conceit, how could he be held back because of the defeat of the officers and soldiers of Wei County?"

"He is doing this only to confuse our army. I expect that Huangfu Song will definitely send elite soldiers to attack Qiu County! ”

This time, Zhang Jiao was in a coma, and his consciousness was a little blurred. Suddenly hearing Zhang Liang's words, he was worried about the future of the Yellow Turban Army, so he broke free from the muddy state and woke up.

Zhang Liang has always trusted his brother, and he deeply admires his strategy. Now, since his brother said so, he would never be wrong.

He stood up and said to Zhang Jiao: "Brother, if this is the case, wouldn't I become a sinner of the Yellow Turban Army?" I will return to Qiu County now, guard the city, and never give Huangfu Song a chance to take advantage of it. ”

Zhang Jiao waved his hand to stop Zhang Liang, who was about to go out, and said, "You rush to Qiu County now, I'm afraid it's too late, I'm worried about Qu Zhou now." ”

"Although Quzhou has the natural danger of the Zhanghe River, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. But Huangfu Song used soldiers like a god, and he was afraid that he would use a plan to secretly show his cang. In this way, it is also difficult to preserve Quzhou. ”

Hearing Zhang Jiao's words, Zhang Liang was stunned at first, and then laughed loudly: "Brother, don't worry!" As early as before the defeat of the officers and soldiers of Wei County, I had already written to the guard general Qu Zhou, asking him to inspect the upper and lower sections of the Zhanghe River and prevent the officers and soldiers from crossing the river from other places. ”

When Zhang Jiao heard this, he was stunned.

He is the supreme commander of the Yellow Turban Army, and he knows all the characters under his account well. But now, he's a little confused. It is said that Zhang Liang and his generals, no one has such a vision.

Qu Zhou's loopholes, Zhang Jiao actually knew about it for a long time.

However, in the past, since Lu Zhizhi was removed from his post and investigated, he did not believe that there were still people among the officers and soldiers who could think of this plan, so he did not pay too much attention to it.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Yellow Turban Army to go north from Guangzong, make a surprise attack on Quzhou, and cut off the food route for officers and soldiers. The battlefield is ever-changing, and different strategies need to be used against different opponents.

If Lu Zhi was there, Zhang Jiao would never dare to act like this. Now facing Huangfu Song, who is no worse than Lu Zhi, Zhang Jiao does not dare to be careless.

That's why he worked hard and racked his brains to think about the loopholes in the Yellow Turban Army's strategy.
