The Five Pecks of Rice Cult in Hanzhong advocated cultivation and was pardoned by the imperial court. He led eight million followers and invaded Jingzhou.
Zhang Xiu called for the wind and rain, Zhang Bao spread the beans and formed an army. The two sides fought for more than ten times, each with his own victory or defeat.
However, the Five Pecks of Rice Sect's gold chariots and feather covers, riding dragons and tigers, scattered into the counties and counties, wantonly bought people's hearts and shaken their faith. At the same time, they united the aristocratic families, cooperated internally and externally, and captured several counties. For a time, the Yellow Turban Army was retreating steadily.
However, Xiangyang was easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Yellow Turban Army used this as a basis. When the Five Dou Rice Cult lost its energy, it launched a counterattack and regained lost ground. The two sides fell into a stalemate.
One month later.
Jizhou, Julu.
Zhang Liang stood in the palace, looking at the three statues. The spiritual light appeared on the left and right, but the one in the middle was a clay and wood sculpture, showing a sad look: "Brother, I didn't expect that when we parted on that day, we brothers were separated by heaven and man. You are here
God has a spirit to protect us, avenge you, and subvert the Han Dynasty..."
"Report!"
At this moment, someone outside announced that Bo Cai, who was nine feet tall and unparalleled in power, strode in with a loud voice like thunder: "Three Cult Leaders!"
Zhang Liang frowned and scolded: "You left your post without permission and you won't come back!"
Bo Cai said angrily, "Shou, shou, shou, how long will I have to keep? All the talisman swords of the brothers in the sect have to be set on fire!"
Zhang Liang was helpless: "We defend the city and have a huge advantage. The Han army will attack sooner or later. When the time comes, we can weaken its edge and then..."
"So weak!"
Before he finished speaking, Bo Cai interrupted directly: "That's what you said last month, but as a result, the Han army has been surrounded for a month! Is there any sign of attacking? Third leader, are you afraid of the Han Dynasty? No.
Do you dare to avenge the great virtuous master?"
"presumptuous!"
Zhang Liang's face darkened, and he shouted loudly. A scroll of heavenly book appeared faintly above his head, and the mighty force of the awe-inspiring force pressed down on him.
Bo Cai groaned, half-knelt down, panting heavily, and a little scared, but his eyes were red, and he was arrogant, but he raised his head and faced it angrily.
Zhang Liang's head felt a dull pain.
He knew very well why this happened.
The thirty-six commanders of the Yellow Turban Army were originally spread across eight states in the world, and each had planned a good territory and divided the pie.
Unexpectedly, after Zhang Jiao's death, the Yellow Turban Army suffered successive setbacks. Zhang Liang followed the advice of his adviser Tian Feng, gathered his forces, and gathered in the two states of Hebei and Jing to attack the Han army from the south to the north.
As a result, the Yellow Turban Army had elite troops and simple administration, sufficient food and grass, and greatly increased its combat effectiveness. It was not afraid of confronting the Han army head-on, and could rely on the advantages of the city to wear down the Han army.
At that time, the bandit families from all sides will follow, and the foreign tribes will take advantage of the situation to attack, and the Yellow Turban Army will have the opportunity to invade the world, destroy the Liu family, and avenge Zhang Jiao.
But that is the general trend. At this stage, it seems that there are too many monks and too little food, and the interests are uneven.
Originally, Tian Feng's plan was to defeat the Han army and resolve internal conflicts with an external victory.
Unexpectedly, the Han army only besieged but not attacked, and the situation fell into a strange stalemate.
As a result, the orthodox court was not anxious, but the rebels were.
"General Bocai wants to commit the crime below? Commander Thirty-six Qu pushed you out, and what benefits did he promise the general?"
Fortunately, at this moment, Lang Lang's voice came, and Tian Feng stepped into the hall.
He had a square face, a straight nose, and a dignified appearance. He looked directly at Bo Cai, but Bo Cai did not dare to look at him, snorted angrily, and turned around to leave.
"Thanks sir for the rescue!"
Zhang Liang bowed his hand to Tian Feng.
Once Zhang Jiao died, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao's lack of prestige was revealed.
Just now, he was indeed able to suppress Bo Cai and severely punish his offenders, but the result was that the contradictions were completely stirred up.
Tian Feng accepted it calmly and said: "General, the pressure on the Han army is no less than ours. Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun have asked for war many times, but they have been suppressed by the prince. There are vague rumors in the court that the prince is afraid of war, and there is no news. By the end of the month, the Han army will attack the city!"
"That's good!"
Zhang Liang took a long breath, but saw that Tian Feng's face was serious and did not relax, and asked: "What are you worried about, sir?"
Tian Feng's eyes flashed: "The prince is by no means a fool. Since he is forcibly suppressing the army, he must have a backup plan. No matter what happens within this month, the general must not attack!"
"Report!"
Just as Zhang Liang was about to agree, as if he was echoing Tian Feng's suggestion, someone outside suddenly announced again, this time it was another Qu Commander Han Zhong who came in.
"Third Master, something bad has happened! An epidemic broke out in Guangzong. Although we used talisman water to treat the disease, rumors are spreading and the armies are in serious trouble. Many soldiers have to go home to provide relief!"
Han Zhong's face was pale, and a black energy surrounded his palms. He slowly sent it towards Zhang Liang: "This is the energy that creates epidemics!"
"Ghost spirit!"
Zhang Liang stretched out his hand to catch it, wrapped it around his fingers, his expression suddenly changed, and he roared: "Five Dou Rice teaches Zhang Xiu, how dare you do this? No, I want to go to war!"
Seeing Zhang Liang rushing out, Tian Feng's face darkened and he stopped in front of him: "Have you forgotten the promise you made just now? This is obviously the prince's back-up plan. You must not fall into the trap!"
Zhang Liang said anxiously: "Sir, this is unusual. This is Fengdu ghost energy. Once it escapes from the world, it will cause great disaster!"
Tian Feng's expression changed when he heard this, but he didn't believe it: "Since it was Fengdu that was suppressed by Zhang Tianshi back then, how dare they release it?"
"It's not them, it's Zhang Xiu!"
Zhang Liang gritted his teeth: "If the Five Dou Rice Sect is still the way of the Celestial Master, then the third generation of Celestial Master Zhang Lu would never dare to do such an evil act. But Zhang Xiu is usurping power and has no taboos. If he lets go of the Celestial Master's seal, then Jizhou will become a human being." demon!"
Tian Feng just shook his head: "Absolutely impossible. The prince will not allow such a lose-lose method. General, please be patient. This is an intimidation tactic!"
Zhang Liang's expression was gloomy and uncertain: "No, it's a serious matter and we must inform the Three Immortals Sect!"
Tian Feng blocked it again: "General, don't make trouble, we just need to remain unchanged in response to all changes, and the Han army will be defeated!"
Zhang Liang flicked his sleeves: "Zhang Tianshi is from the Taiqing lineage, and the Three Immortals Sect can be passed on to the Yuqing lineage. Our Taoism is the same, so how can it be an extraneous branch?"
"The demon rebels and thieves are just like the same raccoon dog!"
When Tian Feng saw Zhang Liang not listening to his advice, a flash of disdain flashed in his eyes and he thought to himself.
Zhang Liang was so sensitive that he glared at Tian Feng with anger, but he suppressed it, bowed his hands, and left.
Not long after, news came to Penglai overseas that Nanhua was out to visit friends. Zuo Ci, who was leaving customs, made a calculation: "There seems to be something strange in Fengdu. The Tianshi Seal is not in the hands of Zhang Ling's descendants. There is no guarantee that he will not act in vain!"
Yu Ji's eyes lit up when he heard this: "If the ghost problem can be quelled, and human merits can be gained, I am willing to do it!"
He was severely injured by the Flame Dragon. He has used countless miraculous medicines but still cannot recover as before. How could he miss this opportunity?
Zuo Ci thought for a moment: "I'm afraid it's a trap, so be patient!"
Yu Ji was really frightened when he thought of the power of the Flame Dragon. He rolled his eyes and said, "Then let the three islands and ten heroes go out to practice together!"
Zuo Ci shook his head: "Shi Ying's character is still undecided, and it is inevitable that there will be discord (yǔ jǔ) with the family!"
Yu Ji sneered: "The aristocratic family sat back and watched us support Taipingdao, and wanted to take advantage of the situation when the country was in ruins. Now that the Yellow Turbans have failed, they want to reap the benefits. We and them will always be enemies, not friends!"
Seeing Zuo Ci's silence, Yu Ji said again: "If the Yellow Turban is destroyed, we will not be able to penetrate into the Central Plains within ten years, so don't worry, just go ahead and do something!"
Zuo Ci nodded slightly, a spiritual light appeared in his hand, and he summoned someone.
Not long after, dozens of streams of light fell down, transforming into heroic figures. The auras of the ten disciples headed by them became even more vast and condensed, indicating that they had successfully cultivated.
Zuo Ci glanced over and landed on a dull-looking young man in the center, and said gently: "Ge Xuan, I will teach you the Dunjia Heavenly Book. This time when you enter the Central Plains, you must protect your junior brothers and sisters!"
The dull young man raised his head and looked at Zuo Ci intently: "Master, my Sixth Turn Golden Elixir is about to be fired, and I won't go!"
After that, he turned around and left.
Zuo Ci's face was a little helpless, but more of a relief. He turned his eyes to the woman first on the left, and he really had a headache: "Hongchang, when you go to the Central Plains, don't cause trouble, remember?"
The woman pursed her lips and smiled, astonishingly: "Second Master, if I say I remember it, would you believe it?"
Zuo Ci was speechless, her sleeves moved together, and the Dunjia Heavenly Book was buried into the woman's forehead: "Go and have a rest! Go and have a rest!"
The next moment, headed by nine brilliant rays of light, dozens of treasure boats left the Sanxian Island and headed straight for the mainland of China.
