The Western Regions, the Western Regions Protectorate.

"Big brother, I just received the battle report from General Guan Hai, my Huangtian Holy Army has conquered the capital of Dawan Kingdom, and the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions have all been pacified!"

Zhang Bao knelt in the hall and said excitedly to Zhang Jiao.

Zhang Jiao leaned back to Zhang Bao at this time, lowering his head and not knowing what he was thinking, Zhang Bao could only see a yellow-brown robe.

After a long time, I heard an old voice coming: "How many casualties are there in our son?" ”

Zhang Bao's expression darkened when he heard this, and he said with some sadness: "The remnants of the Western Regions have gathered in Dawan, we have fought a very difficult battle, and we have lost more than 2 million sons and daughters before and after, and Liu Pi, Zhang Xun, and Li Damu, the three marshals, unfortunately died in battle!" ”

"Alas!"

Zhang Jiao let out a long sigh, and then the hall fell silent again, neither of them spoke, and for a moment only the crackling sound of burning candles remained.

After about half an hour, Zhang Bao couldn't help it at first, and said: "Big brother, the situation in the Central Plains is tense, Dong Zhuo and the Kwantung princes are facing each other, and Dong Zhuo has acted perversely, which has made the people of the world panic. At this time, it is a great opportunity for us to reflexively return to the Central Plains and create another prosperous era of Huang Tian, I don't know ...... big brother"

Zhang Jiao was silent for a long time, and just when Zhang Bao was a little impatient, Zhang Jiao's voice came: "Alas, it's too late! It's too late! ”

"Huh?"

Zhang Bao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then a very ominous premonition rose in his heart, and he suddenly got up and asked nervously: "Big brother, ...... you?"

Zhang Jiao slowly moved his body, revealing his true face.

The head is full of white hair, the whole body is covered with old age spots, and the whole shape is like a withered body, and the face is full of life.

"Big brother! How could they be like this, not so long ago...... Weren't you okay not so long ago? ”

Zhang Baosan stepped forward in two steps, hugged Zhang Jiao, and asked with a crying tone in his tone.

"I did Dong Zhuo a small favor and folded some longevity. With this favor, even if Dong Zhuo realizes his long-cherished wish, he will not be too harsh on my Huang Tianmin. ”

"Yellow Heaven Dafa! That's right, Huangtian Dafa! I'm going to gather my disciples and use the Yellow Heaven Dafa to prolong the life of my eldest brother! ”

Zhang Bao said excitedly as if he remembered something.

"It's useless, my longevity is exhausted, my soul power is overdrawn, and it is no longer humanly saved, don't mobilize people for me, a person who will die!"

Zhang Bao suddenly fell to the ground and began to cry.

"Bao, there's nothing to be sad about, the cycle of life and death, this is a fate that no one can avoid, I'm just one step earlier!"

Zhang Jiao looked very open, but began to comfort Zhang Bao.

"If I can have another two years of life, I will definitely lead the people of Huang Tian to return to the Central Plains and create another prosperous era of Huang Tian, but God won't give me a chance!"

As he spoke, Zhang Jiao raised his hand with some difficulty, and the bark-like skin hung loosely on the bones of his hand. Now Zhang Jiao's image can scare crying children in broad daylight!

"How...... That's it! How could it be...... That's it! ”

Zhang Bao couldn't cry at this time, and said with a whimper. dog

"Destiny! Destiny is so! I've been thinking about going against the sky all my life, but I never thought that I wouldn't be able to escape the destiny of heaven in the end! ”

Zhang Jiao's cloudy eyes revealed a trace of sadness, not the fear of death, but a kind of loneliness, powerlessness and unwillingness.

"Ah Bao, you are not the posture of destiny, when the true dragon son of heaven is born, you will dedicate your land to the land of the Western Regions. Thinking about it, I, the people of Huang Tian, will not be slaughtered completely. ”

"Big brother!"

"Okay, okay, Ah Bao is so old, he is about to become a great sage and teacher, and he is still crying like this, doesn't it make the children laugh?"

Zhang Jiao squeezed out a slightly hideous smile, raised his hand laboriously, and helped Zhang Bao wipe his tears.

…………………………

Bohai County, Nanpi!

Bohai Taishou Yuan Shao is in a very bad mood these days, or it is very bad. First, the Yuan family in the capital was slaughtered, and none of the Yuan family survived, which was a fatal blow to Yuan Shao!

As we all know, Yuan Shao is a concubine, and the descendant of the Yuan family is Yuan Shu, but Yuan Shao is handsome and capable, and he is very appreciated by Yuan Kui and Yuan Feng.

Yuan Kui's death, which is equivalent to the loss of Yuan Shao's backer, the ancestral home of the Yuan family is in Runan, without Yuan Kui's central dispatch, the remnants of the Yuan family will definitely give priority to Yuan Shu who is guarding Yuan Shu in Runan, which is not too protective of Yuan Shao, which is undoubtedly a fatal blow to Yuan Shao.

Seeing that the Pingzhou army next door was getting stronger and stronger, and even directly destroyed a country and opened up the land of an entire state, Yuan Shao was even more anxious.

And Lu Zhi's assassination made him secretly overjoyed, and hurriedly mobilized public opinion to persecute Shang Ji, trying to take advantage of the general trend of the world to eliminate Shang Ji first.

Anyway, in Yuan Shao's eyes, the crazy and crazy Dong Zhuo is already a dry bone in the grave, and it is not worth making a fuss, but he is a growing businessman, and the threat is much greater than Dong Zhuo.

It's a pity that the bad news that came one after another told Yuan Shao that Shang Ji didn't seem to be so easy to settle.

"Lord, Donglai County is urgent!"

"Bring it on!"

Yuan Shao took the report anxiously, glanced at it hurriedly, and then sighed and handed the report to Tian Feng next to him.

Tian Feng took it and looked at it carefully, and sighed helplessly: "Until now, Gongsun Zhan, Tao Qian, and Han Fu have lost their hearts, so we should change our strategy as soon as possible, repair the relationship with Shang Ji, and jointly raise an army to fight against Dong Fang!" ”

Yuan Shao seemed to be a little unwilling when he heard this, then he reached out and took the battle report, read it again, and finally nodded helplessly.

There is not much content in the battle report, mainly because the Pingzhou sailors who were conducting long-distance sailing drills encountered pirate provocations when they arrived in the waters of Donglai County, and the Pingzhou sailors fought back angrily, and pursued to the pirates' lair, and bombed a pirate hiding in ruins!

It's a pity that the total number of people has just broken 1,000, and all the ships together are not as big as any warship of the Pingzhou Naval Division, and they have enjoyed the courtesy that most of the regular military naval divisions are not qualified to enjoy, and they have been bombarded by hundreds of behemoths for two hours, and tens of thousands of torches and cannonballs have bombarded the island.

Earlier, the Shang army defeated Gongsun Zhan's 300,000 vanguard army with only 100,000 troops and captured the vanguard general Zou Dan.

Not to mention anything else, tearing his face with Shang Ji, and riding out of the plug with millions of irons, his Youzhou Thorn History can be regarded as the end!

As for Han Fu, he was even more timid, and he had long given up his plan to continue besieging Shangji.

"Lord, the only way to do this is to shift your attention to Dong Thief again and call on everyone to ask Dong. With the prestige of the fourth and third dukes, there is a chance that he will be able to win the position of the leader of the coalition army. As long as he leads the coalition army to break through Luoyang, when the time comes, the lord will bring the power of destroying the Dong thief and establishing the imperial court again, why can't he sweep the world? ”

Listening to Tian Feng's words, Yuan Shao's eyes lit up, and he said continuously: "Sir's words are reasonable!" The order was sent down, and a statement was immediately drafted that the Dong thief conspired to assassinate Lu Gong and tried in vain to blame General Zuo, and the crime of this evil thief was too numerous to mention. Yuan's generations are loyal and good, I, Yuan Shaojiu, Mu Huang's grace, can never sit idly by and watch such a traitor steal the court, Bohai immediately raised an army to fight against Dong, hoping that people with lofty ideals in the world will rise up and fight thieves! ”
