Chapter 40: Finally Arrived
Li Le sat on the flying boat and pointed to the dense camp in front of him and a big city next to the camp and said, "Boy, you should be fine. There is Guangzong City in front! There should be Han army camp outside. Now the two sides are confronting each other. There are Taoist masters in the army. Our flying boat does not have any powerful defensive formations. If you are seen using magic or magic weapons, it will be dangerous. Let's go down and walk for a while!" The words were filled with excitement.
At this time, it was dawn. The sky had just risen with a white light, hazy, and I saw dense tents lined up in a certain formation, and in front of the tent, the outline of a city appeared in the distance. On the way, Ma Fan and Li Le had heard of it. It was Huangfu Song who advised to lift the party ban, take out the money of the imperial palace and the good horses in the West Garden to give them to the soldiers to improve morale. Lu Qiang said to Emperor Ling: "The party and imprisonment disaster has accumulated over a long time, and if he conspires with the Yellow Turban, he may be saved." Emperor Ling of Han accepted the proposal, and on the day of Renzi, he immigrated the party members and returned them to the migrant disciples, asking the ministers to donate horses and crossbows, and elected the descendants of the generals and those who had a deep strategy to the public to be interviewed. Finally, many elite soldiers were gathered together, led by Lu Zhi to the north to quell the rebellion. The tent was Lu Zhi, and Zhang Jiao was in Guangzong City.
"I'm finally coming to the Yellow Turban Army camp!"
Ma Fan and Li Le went north all the way, and it took a lot of trouble. The two of them originally wanted to go to Yecheng to find out where Zhang Jiao was going, but they could see it everywhere after crossing the Yellow River. They casually pulled a Yellow Turban soldier and asked, and they heard that Zhang Jiao had attacked in February. After launching the Yellow Turban Uprising, they personally took charge of Jizhou, so the two rushed towards Jizhou.
However, after arriving in Jizhou, I heard that in March, war broke out in the 28 counties of seven prefectures and 28 counties across the country. The Yellow Turban Army was unstoppable. The prefectures and counties were lost, and officials and soldiers fled, shaking Kyoto. Emperor Ling of Han saw that Taiping Road was so powerful, and hurriedly appointed He Jin as the general on March Wushen, leading the five camps of Yulin to set up weapons and guard the capital. He also set up Kyoto passes such as Hangu Pass, Dagu, Guangcheng, Yique, Zhuyuan, Arc deputies, Mengjin, Xiaopingjin and other Kyoto passes. The commander was stationed in defense; he issued an edict to all localities to strictly prevent the situation and order all prefectures and counties to prepare for combat, train soldiers, assemble weapons, and summon the rebel army. There was no sign of launching. Seeing that the situation was good, Zhang Jiao left the base camp in Jizhou and went to Youzhou to supervise the battle. After hearing this news, the two ran towards Youzhou again. When they arrived in Youzhou, they heard that because Lu Zhi sent troops, Zhang Jiao went to Guangzong to block the Han army's must-pass route. After getting the exact news, the two came towards Guangzong again, which was the real finding of Zhang Jiao.
Along the way, Ma Fan sighed more than once that the underdeveloped communications in ancient times were really a killer. If in modern times, if a phone call was called, it would be clear where Zhang Jiao was. Ma Fan asked Li Le several times, if there was any communication art similar to the phone. When Li Le told him that there were notes on Taiping Road, Ma Fan was confused. Ma Fan asked Li Le why he didn't use it. Li Le said that his cultivation was shallow and could only pass on dozens of Li Roads. Only then did Ma Fan realize that Li Le was a local call, and even a local call could not be considered a low-key call, and he could not make a long-distance call.
Although with a flying boat, you don’t have to climb mountains and ridges, and the flying boat is extremely fast and can travel thousands of miles a day, it is because Ma Fan and Li Le are too shallow in their cultivation, and the flying boat absorbs true energy too fiercely. They only have to find a place to practice for hundreds of miles a day, so they can only continue to move forward after recovery. Moreover, they often have to inquire about some information and find where Zhang Jiao is located, and the route has changed several times. When they arrived at the location of the Zhangjiao camp of the Yellow Turban Army, it was already mid-April.
Since Ma Fan drove the flying boat, he felt that after exhausting his true energy every day, he would then meditate and recover. After recovery, the true energy would increase a little. Although the amount was not much, he could have a significant increase every day. This growth rate was much faster than usual practice. I originally thought that it would take three months to store the true energy at the fastest to reach the late stage of condensation, but now it seems that it only takes one month, and after so many days, Ma Fan almost entered the late stage of condensation. After consolidation, he could impact the spiral period.
After rushing to the middle of the night, he carefully avoided Lu Zhi's Han army. Ma Fan and Li Le finally arrived at Guangzong City. Li Le smiled from afar, pointed and explained some knowledge to Ma Fan, and his excitement was undoubtedly revealed. Ma Fan could understand Li Le's excitement. For Li Le, the Yellow Turban Army was his home. Although Zhang Jiao was a teacher, his feelings were no less than his father. When he saw Zhang Jiao, he would meet his family. If Ma Fan could return to that world again and meet his parents.
Peng's words were probably even more excited than Li Le. But for Ma Fan, he couldn't be happy when he looked at the outline of the huge city in the distance. He felt a little confused in his heart, unable to explain clearly, and could not understand, as if he was dreaming. Zhang Jiao, right in the city in front of him, walked so far and suffered so much, and was looking forward to this day. But he didn't know what he would encounter after getting inside, and what he should do after walking this section of the road. When he arrived, he felt inexplicably nervous.
The Yellow Turban Army has won many victories in the past few months. As long as the surviving soldiers have robbed a lot of property, they are still well-off. At the entrance of Guangzong City, the city gate school was originally a drunkard, and sold all the property to drink, and their livelihood became a problem. But when they happened to encounter the Yellow Turban Army uprising, they immediately tore up a yellow cloth and put it on their heads to join the Yellow Turban Army. Originally, he just wanted to be full, but he didn't expect that because he had been drunk for a long time, he was not afraid of death every time he attacked the city and siege. He was lucky and survived and achieved his current position. And he also had a nickname called "Wu Dabang, now he is well-known in the Yellow Turban Army."
Although I drank some more wine in the evening, when Ma Fan and Li Le arrived, when they heard his subordinates say something, they immediately asked half drunk and half awake, "Who is under the city?"
Li Le arrived at the gate of the camp and said to a soldier guarding the gate: "Hurry to open the city gate. I am Li Le, the commander of Luoyang Qu. I have something to ask for a meeting with General Tiangong!"
Perhaps the word "Ship Qu" was too intimidating, and Wu Dadanjiu woke up a little immediately. While instructing a soldier to ride in and report, he asked someone to recognize Li Le, he carefully spoke with Li Le.
It has been two months since the uprising. As early as shortly after the uprising, Zhang Jiao received news that after Li Le arranged it, he had left his troops alone and disappeared. Zhang Jiao knew that he must have gone to carry out the tasks he arranged, but now it is April, and he is still back. Zhang Jiao is more anxious than a day, but he dare not send anyone to find him because he is afraid that someone will notice Ma Fan.
