Chapter 227 The Yellow Turbans Who Don't Want to Rebel
Receiving the escort of Han Dang and Nie Xiaoqian's caravan was easier than Ling Tian imagined. In fact, Ling Tian did not need to show his strength during the process.
Nie Xiaoqian is indeed an amazing woman. Both Han Dang and the escort team are much more loyal to Nie Xiaoqian than Ling Tian imagined. With this level of loyalty, it can be said that even if Nie Xiaoqian sends a woman, he can do it.
Take over this convoy.
Of course, after taking over, Ling Tian still showed his aura.
It is one thing to be loyal to others, but it is another thing to let others know your strength.
For such a team, Ling Tian highly recognized it. It was precisely because of this that Ling Tian was more concerned about it. Let such a team know his strength, and they would definitely have better results in future cooperative operations.
By the time Ling Tian left the guard camp, almost all the guards in the camp had belonged to Ling Tian.
This kind of smoothness, especially the smoothness created by Nie Xiaoqian, put Ling Tian in a good mood. However, this good mood changed after he got on Nie Xiaoqian's carriage, which had been waiting outside the camp.
Nie Xiaoqian did not follow Ling Tian when he entered the guard camp and subdued the guards. This woman knew better than anyone else when a woman should help a man do things and when she should choose to retreat.
So Nie Xiaoqian has been waiting outside the camp.
And Nie Xiaoqian obviously didn't have the slightest doubt that Ling Tian could subdue the guards.
After Ling Tian returned to the carriage, Nie Xiaoqian first congratulated Ling Tian for successfully subduing the guards, but then Nie Xiaoqian gave Ling Tian some news.
"Zhang Jiao arrived in Bei'an... Then, my people lost track of him..."
Ling Tian's brows tightened slightly at his indifferent words.
If someone else was responsible for this matter, Ling Tian wouldn't think twice even if Zhang Jue's trace was lost.
No matter how easily Zhang Jue was considered to be a loose man in history and fiction, as a religious leader who could trigger the collapse of the world's top empire, Zhang Jue's abilities should not be underestimated.
However, Ling Tian knew Nie Xiaoqian better and recognized Nie Xiaoqian's ability.
In terms of ability alone, Nie Xiaoqian may be slightly inferior to Zhang Jue, but Nie Xiaoqian has hundreds of years more experience than Zhang Jue.
Those hundreds of years of experience are enough for Nie Xiaoqian to perfectly crush Zhang Jiao when she is well prepared. It’s not that hundreds of years are nothing. In the late Han Dynasty, characters were still carved on bamboo slips, and reading was still a luxury. A copy of Sun Tzu’s Art of War
They were unable to train a general, and by Nie Xiaoqian's time, military books such as Sun Tzu's Art of War and Thirty-Six Stratagems were basically worthless.
Nie Xiaoqian was born into a scholarly family, and she loved reading since she was a child. However, as an adult, she suffered a tragic change, experienced hardships, and wandered into the market.
The combination of abundant knowledge and a bumpy life, poured into Nie Xiaoqian's smart brain, and Nie Xiaoqian's seemingly holy mother, but actually extremely tough character, created Nie Xiaoqian, an existence that is by no means inferior to any top women in history.
And for such a person, after making advance preparations, quietly developing for more than ten years, and knowing the historical trajectory, and losing Zhang Jue, the problem is definitely not simple.
Zhang Jiao noticed Nie Xiaoqian's hostility towards him...
Zhang Jiao sensed Nie Xiaoqian's hostility...
Just like the various spells in the Liaozhai world, this world may have different rules of heaven, but Zhang Jiao obviously sensed Nie Xiaoqian's hostility in some way.
"Don't worry, Zhang Jiao will come to you... Whether he wants to rebel or do anything else, your achievements in agriculture are what he needs..."
Ling Tian thought for a moment and slowly spoke.
Zhang Jiao, the founder of Taiping Taoism, is a disciple of the legendary Nan Hua Lao Xian. At least his skills were taught by the legendary Nan Hua Lao Xian.
Such a person is definitely extremely powerful, and all powerful beings have great confidence in themselves.
In this way, even if Zhang Jue knew that Nie Xiaoqian was hostile to him because of Nie Xiaoqian's agricultural skills, Zhang Jue would still come to see Nie Xiaoqian.
The only thing I don't know is when Zhang Jiao will come.
The killing of Zhang Jue cast a shadow. Ling Tian and Nie Xiaoqian could only wait patiently while carefully sorting out the power in their hands and waiting for the development of the matter.
In this way, in the past few days, Ling Tian has basically been completely accepted into the position of Captain of Bei'an.
The situation in the entire Bei'an area was under Ling Tian's control.
Similarly, after mastering this area, Ling Tian discovered that Nie Xiaoqian's arrangements here were almost perfect.
Although the situation on the other side of the alien race is complicated, as Nie Xiaoqian said, 90% of the alien race relies on Nie Xiaoqian's caravan for survival. As long as Nie Xiaoqian's caravan does not have any problems, no one from those alien races will rebel.
Even the most powerful guy from the alien race would never be able to make a big splash.
Everything was very peaceful, and even aristocratic families like the Xu family were extremely cooperative. If you don't think that this period is the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty and the end of the Han Dynasty, then for Ling Tian, this is the most peaceful place he has ever stayed in after time travel.
Era.
It seems that the fighting and bloodshed have all gone away.
However, the calmness changed fifteen days after Ling Tian woke up.
"The shopkeeper's, the shopkeeper's..."
That day, early in the morning, anxious and panicked shouts woke up Ling Tian. He hurriedly got up, and when he opened the door, he happened to see Nie Xiaoqian's door opposite opened.
The two looked at each other and immediately headed to the gate of their house at the same time.
"Shopkeeper, the river is disappearing..."
Opening the door, outside, the man who had been with Nie Xiaoqian the day Ling Tian woke up stood there with beads of sweat on his face. He looked at Nie Xiaoqian who opened the door and said.
The river disappears...
Ling Tian and Nie Xiaoqian were slightly startled at the same time, and then their expressions changed.
"lead the way……"
Ling Tian's voice sounded in a deep voice.
The words "river disappearing" may sound strange, but Ling Tian and Nie Xiaoqian are not ignorant of people's livelihood. In this feudal era, farming depends on water sources, and in the north, most of the fields must have rivers around them.
If the disappearance of the river water is a literal meaning, then the meaning it represents is that the world is in chaos.
Without thinking too much, Ling Tian and Nie Xiaoqian followed the man and ran outside quickly.
Nie Xiaoqian's house was not in Bei'an City, but in a village outside the city. There were countless ponds around the village. Ling Tian and Nie Xiaoqian ran along with the man. As soon as they left the village, their expressions were completely changed.
Darken.
In the village, the water levels of several ponds they passed seemed to have dropped by more than half compared to before.
The pond itself is not connected to the river, and it is not even directly connected to the groundwater. However, if the groundwater dries up, then the land lacking water will draw all water sources, including the pond.
After leaving the village, we arrived at a big river not long after.
When Ling Tian and Nie Xiaoqian arrived, there were already scattered people standing along the bank of the river. They were obviously people who had heard that there was something wrong with the river and came to check it out.
In this era, all cities were built along rivers, especially in the north. The reason why Bei'an City was able to be built was because of Nie Xiaoqian's agricultural technology and caravans, but also because of this big river.
This is a large river that is hundreds of meters wide and dozens of meters deep.
Originally, the water flow of such a river should be inexhaustible, but at this time, in the sight of Ling Tian and Nie Xiaoqian, the water flow of this river had dropped so much that it was almost exposing the river bed.
"How could this happen...Have you sent anyone to look upstream? Is there something wrong with it..."
Ling Tian looked at the scene in Dahe with a feeling of disbelief in his heart, and then he looked at the man who went to report the news and shouted.
"Upstream, I have seen tens of kilometers upstream, and also downstream, it is the same, the water has disappeared..."
The man collapsed and shouted.
In this era, the horror caused by drought is beyond the imagination of later generations. Once the water source is lost, famine will definitely occur, and along with it will be refugees everywhere, wars everywhere, and the beginning of troubled times.
"Go to the guard camp and send the guards south to look at other rivers, look at every river you can find, and see if the water in those rivers has disappeared..."
Suddenly, Ling Tian seemed to have thought of something. He grabbed Nie Xiaoqian fiercely, turned around and ran back.
If the water disappears in just one river here in Bei'an City, it won't be a big deal. But if the water in the whole world, no, it doesn't need to be all, as long as most of the river water disappears, then troubled times will be inevitable.
"I don't believe that the water in the world will disappear for no reason, so don't worry, there must be a reason. If we find the reason, we can solve it. There will be no chaos in this world..."
Ling Tian pulled Nie Xiaoqian and ran away while speaking.
At this time, Nie Xiaoqian had lost her sense of control slightly. This woman was indeed strong, but she was still just a woman after all. She had no ambitions and just wanted to live quietly. She was a bit of a saint and just wanted peace in the world.
The water in this big river disappeared for no reason, which really shocked her.
Under such shock, Nie Xiaoqian didn't know what to do for a while.
Ling Tian may not be as good as Nie Xiaoqian in some aspects, but he does not have the mentality of a holy mother, and he has experienced some things that Nie Xiaoqian has never experienced, so he is very calm at this time.
"The water in the world will naturally not disappear for no reason, but if all flows return to the sea, the water on this land can definitely return to the sea..."
The two of them were running fast when a calm voice suddenly came into their ears gently.
Ling Tian's figure paused and blocked Nie Xiaoqian behind him.
At this time, Ling Tian's strength was no longer at its peak, but it was definitely not weak. The owner of this voice was able to make Ling Tian aware of where he was before he opened his mouth. His strength was absolutely terrifying.
After protecting Nie Xiaoqian, Ling Tian looked sideways and saw a figure standing there in the unobstructed wilderness beside him.
This is an old man who looks quite immortal. Although he is wearing a linen shirt, he gives people the feeling of a god descending to earth.
"Zhang Jiao..."
Looking at the old man, Ling Tian spoke with a hint of surprise.
In the late Han Dynasty, there were many well-known religious figures. Zhang Jiao, Yu Ji, Zuo Ci, and even Zhang Lu were all famous for a while. However, at this time, the only one who was most likely to appear here was Zhang Jiao.
The founder of Taipingdao himself should also come to Nie Xiaoqian.
"There is no need to be nervous. Pindao actually has no ill intentions towards you two. In fact, if Ms. Nie can really save the world, Pindao will even give up his position as the leader of Taiping Tao and lead the horse for Ms. Nie..."
Zhang Jiao acquiesced to his identity, then looked at Ling Tian and said.
However, Zhang Jue's words sounded nice, but Ling Tian couldn't believe Zhang Jue's words at all. In fact, Ling Tian had a vague suspicion that the drying up of the river had something to do with Zhang Jue.
"Every dynasty in the world has its energy. The Han Dynasty has been in power for four hundred years, but its energy will eventually be exhausted. The world is afraid of war. The old Taoist came to see Ms. Nie and just asked if there is a way to grow food in this red land thousands of miles away..."
Zhang Jue glanced at Ling Tian indifferently. Obviously, the old Taoist saw Ling Tian's distrust. However, the old Taoist didn't seem to care and looked directly at Nie Xiaoqian and asked.
His question made Ling Tian and Nie Xiaoqian raise their eyebrows slightly at the same time.
The strength of the Han Dynasty has been exhausted. This sentence sounds like an excuse and a reason for those who want to rebel. However, the following sentence sounds like a new emperor asking if he can quickly stabilize the country after the rebellion is successful.
.
"Where does the energy come from? Everything in this world is done by humans. If humans can defeat heaven, then where does the energy come from?"
Ling Tian looked at Zhang Jiao coldly and said.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, both Ling Tian and Nie Xiaoqian knew that it was the end of the Han Dynasty and there would soon be princes everywhere, but they both wanted to extend the life of this big man.
Liu Han's victory was not glorious, and the Liu Han royal family was not a good royal family, but this Han Dynasty and the Han nation did become the top empire in the world because of countless people with lofty ideals.
In later generations, except for the Tang Dynasty, in fact, basically no dynasty could surpass this dynasty.
If the food problem can be solved, perhaps, this dynasty can go another route, and peace will always exist.
Ling Tian is not the Holy Mother, but he yearns for peace now. Whether it is permanent peace or the peace he and Nie Xiaoqian need in their lives, he hopes to keep this big man.
"Man conquers nature, hahahahahaha..."
When Zhang Jue heard Ling Tian's words, he was stunned for a moment and then laughed. It seemed that the old Taoist had heard something extremely funny.
"Old Taoist, I see you are also a cultivator. Where did this ridiculous statement come from? Since the Zhou Dynasty conquered Zhou, the emperor replaced the human emperor, the emperor of the human race, and all the emperors are willing to surrender to heaven. How can there be anyone in this world who can conquer heaven with man...
...The prosperity of the human race is only four hundred, and who can compete with it? All we can do is to minimize the losses..."
The old Taoist laughed and then looked at Ling Tian and said word by word.
