Chapter 80 Zhang Jiao
Chapter 80
At the corner of the main street of Guangzong City, there is a unique small courtyard. Although it is not taller than the residence of those yellow scarf generals, it is very elegant, but this elegant courtyard is incompatible with the current chaotic situation of the Han Dynasty.
"Linger, the layout here doesn't seem to be suitable for us big men."
Looking at the courtyard with the obvious smell of powder in front of him, Lv Bu frowned slightly and questioned Zhang Linger.
"Ha ha, Brother Lv Bu, do you see it? This was where I used to live, but now I want to live for Brother Lv Bu.
Zhang Linger smiled mischievously, made a very generous look, and continued:
"There is nothing we can do. Now there are too many people in Guangzong City. Our Yellow Turban Army alone has hundreds of thousands of horses. Many generals brought by my second uncle can only make do with it in the barracks. You are the guest I invited, so naturally you can only live with me.
Zhang Linger showed a very helpless expression, but looking at Zhang Linger's eyes, Lv Bu felt that there was a ghost. However, Lv Bu didn't care about living there. He was a big man and was afraid that Zhang Linger would eat him.
That night, Zhang Linger made an appointment with Lv Bu to see Zhang Jiao.
Zhang Linger took Lv Bu to a big house in Guangzong City. This corner lived in this house, but did not live in the Taishou Mansion.
Lv Bu, accompanied by Zhang Linger, entered the yard without any obstruction. However, Lv Bu looked around and really saw the cold light shining in many places in the house. Obviously, he ambushed people and horses.
Lv Bu followed Zhang Linger through three courtyards, and finally came to a Taoist-like building and stopped. Lv Bu was here, but he didn't find anything hidden, but he came out to meet Lv Bu and Zhang Linger, which surprised Lv Bu.
Two people in bright yellow robes came over and put their hands together with Zhang Linger.
"Your Highness, you are here. General Tiangong is waiting for you."
Then the two people retreated to both sides and followed Zhang Linger.
"Brother Lv Bu, let's go in and meet Dad."
Zhang Linger didn't care about the movements of the two people. Obviously, she was used to it. She just turned her head and said something to Lv Bu. However, as soon as Zhang Linger said this, she realized that she was a little wrong and quickly changed her words:
"My father is in there. Let's go in quickly. Don't tell him to wait."
At this time, Zhang Linger's face was already flushed.
"Okay, let's go in."
Lv Budao didn't say anything. In fact, Lv Bu also has a good impression on Zhang Linger, but the time is not ripe. Now Lv Bu's status is too low, and Zhang Linger's status is too high. Now it is not beautiful, but this does not prevent the two people from dealing with each other.
Lv Bu and Zhang Linger came to the door of a study and happened to see Zhang Jiao coming out. At this time, Zhang Jiao was also dressed in a Taoist robe, with kind eyebrows and good eyes, fairy style and Taoist bones, giving people a feeling of an outdoor master.
If such a person is met outside, Lv Bu will definitely not associate him with the yellow scarf. He only thinks that he is a master who has lived in seclusion for many years, but now Lv Bu really knows that the person in front of him is the highest leader of the Yellow Turban Uprising and the spiritual leader of millions of yellow scarf believers Zhang Jiao.
"Ha ha, my Ling'er is back. It's really great. These days, you have suffered a lot outside. Now the army is in chaos, but it's really not suitable for a little girl like you to run around."
When Zhang Jiao saw Zhang Linger, he was in a good mood, but there was unconcealed gentleness between his eyebrows. This was probably blood thicker than water.
"Dad, this time I brought you a distinguished guest. He is the one who has made great contributions to our yellow scarf."
Zhang Linger quickly introduced Lv Bu to Zhang Jiao, with a trace of pride in her eyes.
"Lv Bu, the younger generation, has met General Tiangong."
When Lv Bu saw Zhang Linger introduce himself, he hurriedly made a courtesy to Zhang Jiao.
It's just the two words of the younger generation, but it's very interesting. What is the younger generation? For example, two peers, one who achieves earlier is the predecessor, and the other who achieves later is the younger generation. Lv Bu said that he was Zhang Jiao's younger generation, which showed that Lv Bu also had the ambition to overthrow the big man in the future, but this younger generation was different from his subordinates and was called lower. In this way, Lv Bu showed that although he had the will to overthrow the Han, he would not succumb to Zhang Jiao.
Zhang Jiao is so shrewd. How could he not hear the meaning of Lv Bu's words? At the moment, he just meditated a little and laughed.
"Good, young people are really ambitious. I just like young people like you. There are talented people from generation to generation, and princes and princes will have guts. Three hundred years in Hedong and three hundred years in Hexi. The world of this big man is full of three hundred. It's really time to change the owner.
Zhang Jiao laughed, and the beard at the corners of his mouth trembled, which seemed to be proud.
"I don't know if General Tiangong thinks that who can replace the big man with this beautiful rivers and mountains?"
Looking at Zhang Jiao's laughing, Lv Bu took the opportunity to ask.
Hearing Lv Bu's question, Zhang Linger's eyebrows on one side frowned slightly. Obviously, Zhang Linger did not expect Lv Bu to ask such a straightforward question.
"Dad, let's go in and talk about it. This is not the place to talk. I don't want others to say that my father won't treat guests."
Zhang Linger said sulkingly. Zhang Linger's words are very clear. On the one hand, he wants to change the topic, and on the other hand, he reminds his father to have the sincerity of hospitality. Zhang Jiao must have held power for a long time. If there are more people, there will be a heavy killing spirit. In case he accidentally falls out with Lv Bu, it will be bad. Of course, Zhang Linger's words were also reminding Lv Bu to speak carefully.
"Hahaha, Linger is right. Let's go in and talk."
Zhang Jiao looked at Zhang Linger and smiled, but he didn't hear Lv Bu's question.
Lv Bu didn't force him to ask. There must be some things that can't be said too much. In fact, Lv Bu came to see Zhang Jiao today for a very important purpose, that is, Lv Bu hoped to persuade Zhang Jiao to quit the fight for hegemony. The reason why Lv Bu wanted Zhang Jiao to withdraw from competing for hegemony was that Lv Bu deeply knew that an important reason why the Han people were weak after the Han Dynasty and were bullied by foreigners was that the vitality of the Han people at the end of the Han Dynasty was greatly damaged, and the Yellow Turban Uprising was undoubtedly the most severe damage to the vitality of the Han people.
More importantly, those who died in the Yellow Turban Uprising are all forced and helpless farmers, and these people are the foundation of the Han nation. If the duty of soldiers is to kill the enemy, then killing the people who are unable to resist is the greatest sadness of soldiers. Lv Bu wanted to save the Han people who died in the Yellow Turban Uprising, and it was impossible to ask the officers and soldiers to show mercy, so he could only hope that Zhang Jiao would withdraw from the fight for hegemony.
Lv Bu followed Zhang Jiao and Zhang Linger to the inner hall. The three guests sat down, and the servants served the tea. Lv Bu picked up the teacup and took a sip gently and put down the teacup.
"General Tiangong, please ask General Tiangong for advice on the problems of the younger generation."
Lv Bu's words were beyond Zhang Jiao and Zhang Linger's expectation. They didn't expect that Lv Bu would be so ignorant, but Zhang Jiao didn't seem to be angry.
"I heard from Zhang Liang that you helped them a lot in Yingchuan this time, defeating Huang Fu Song and Zhu Jun?"
Zhang Jiao picked up the tea bowl and said leisurely.
"That's right. Brother Lu Bu is awesome. He saved my life when he was staying with Chen."
Before Lv Bu answered, Zhang Linger took the lead and reported Lv Bu's kindness to save her life. Although Zhang Linger had left behind that time, even if Lv Bu did not take action, Zhang Linger could completely solve it by herself.
"Linger, the friend you brought is very interesting. I want to have a good chat with him. You go down first."
Zhang Jiao took a look at Zhang Linger and suddenly said. Seeing Zhang Linger's panic, he quickly added:
"Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you, my friend."
"Linger, don't worry, your father just wants to talk about something between men. Nothing will happen."
Lv Bu nodded to Zhang Linger, signaling her not to worry.
When Zhang Linger retreated, Zhang Jiao's face turned cold.
"Why do you think I, the Yellow Turban Army, can't get the world?"
Zhang Jiao said coldly. In fact, at the beginning, Zhang Jiao spread the purpose of the yellow scarf, to treat the sick and save people, just to save the wounded, but later, when Zhang Jiao experienced the power and the pleasure brought to him, his greedy heart suddenly rose and had the ambition to dominate the world. It happened to be the decline of the Han Dynasty, the dynasty was weak, the internal and external troubles, and Zhang Jiao was not generous. Only then did he begin to brew the yellow scarf uprising in an attempt to seize the world.
Later, when Zhang Jiao knew that Tang Zhou's secret and the matter was exposed, Zhang Jiao really regretted it, but the matter was urgent. In order to survive, Zhang Jiao had no choice but to revolt in a hurry. But these days, Zhang Jiao is also asking himself, is it really right to do it? Seeing the familiar yellow scarf soldiers fall, Zhang Jiao's heart was extremely sad, so he built this Taoist temple in Guangzong City to pray for the dead yellow scarf spirit.
It is also because Zhang Jiao did not want to see the yellow scarf warrior die, so under the repeated pressure of Lu Zhi, he led 150,000 yellow scarves to guard Guangzong. Otherwise, even if Lu Zhi is powerful, how can he do it if he wants to besiege 150,000 troops with 70,000 horses and not collapse a few front teeth?
"Dare to ask General Tiangong, who is stronger and who is weaker than the yellow scarf generals and soldiers?" Lv Bu did not answer Zhang Jiao's question, but asked a rhetorical question.
"Naturally, the officers, soldiers and soldiers are slightly stronger." Zhang Jiao frowned and said such a sentence. Obviously, he didn't mean it. Everyone knew that the combat power of officers and soldiers was not a little better than that of the yellow scarf. The officers and soldiers are well-trained soldiers, and the Yellow Turban Army is just farmers who have just lost their hoe. Some Yellow Turban soldiers have not even lost their hoe. They used to use hoes for farming, but now they still use hoes for war.
"So, General Tiangong, what is your ability to command the enemy, make a decision, and arrange troops compared with Lu Zhi?"
Lv Bu didn't care about Zhang Jiao's insincere words at all, but continued to ask.
"Yes, I'm really not as good as Lu Zhi in the war, but my yellow scarf believes in more than a million people. Even a mouthful of water per person can drown Lu Zhi and his 70,000 horses." Zhang Jiao knew that his combat command was not as good as Lu Zhi, and immediately found out the reason why there were many yellow women.
"Yes, the yellow scarf believers are all over the world. The general of heaven rises high, and the world corresponds. It is indeed spectacular. However, although there are many people and horses in the yellow scarf, it is not many compared with the people under the imperial court. The soldiers and horses of the imperial court originate from the people, and the yellow scarf soldiers and horses come from the believers, but although there are many generals and believers, there are not more than the people in the world.
