The golden sunlight coated the mountains and rivers with a golden light. Looking through the clouds at the faintly discernible god, Zhang Xuan could not calm down for a long time.
" This world is no longer the late Han Dynasty that I am familiar with. The rebellion of the Path of Peace was actually driven by the gods behind it. It's really unbelievable. Now, I can only rely on the Tomes of Arcane. I still need to think about what to do next.”
"Looks like I have to find the good friend that Tian Shu arranged for me as soon as possible, Liu Ji and Liu Bowen. It's not enough to plan big things by myself.”Zhang Xuan knew the major events of the world. Attacking was one of them, and governing was the second. If he could not govern the area after conquering it and could not turn it into a stable rear, he would sooner or later run for his life.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was a great drought. King Chuang raised his army from the border counties and fought against the Ming army. The Ming army also tried their best to suppress the bandits. In the end, the north suffered a great loss. Although King Chuang conquered Beiping, Slave Jian eventually took over.
Thinking while walking, Zhang Xuan quickly shuttled through the Taiping Camp. No matter why the Road of Peace revolted, he was already tied to this big ship. Zhang Jiao said that he should attack Julu as soon as possible and train his soldiers. He would do his best.
"At the beginning of the uprising, the people were indeed on the same side. Even the soldiers who were in such a hurry to revolt were as fast as lightning!”
Walking in the camp, Zhang Xuan saw that all the troops were moving in a hurry. The people who came and went were also very energetic. Zhang Xuan could not help but think of a poem by the Tang Dynasty poet Luo Yin," When the time comes, heaven and earth will work together. When the heroes are transported, they are not free."”
At this time, the Road of Peace was in the right time. All the disciples were ambitious and believed that the destiny was in peace. They would be able to fight for a world of peace with a great teacher.
However, Zhang Xuan knew that after the imperial court sent troops and the despots gathered to protect themselves, the Yellow Turban soldiers who had been victorious in every battle suffered a heavy blow, and the Yellow Turban soldiers who had suffered a blow never recovered.
In the following years, there was Zhang Yan, the Yellow Turban of Black Mountain, who sent a letter to the court, the White Wave Yellow Turban who sent troops to protect the emperor, and the scattered Yellow Turban tribes of various sizes scattered across the Central Plains. Some attacked the states and counties as bandits, while others occupied the mountains and became thieves. They completely lost the ambition at the beginning of the uprising and the ambition to establish peace.
Zhang Xuan stood outside the drill ground and saw that Yue Fei was also training with his Yellow Scarf Warriors. Seeing this, Zhang Xuan immediately walked forward.
"Pengju, look at these 500 strong men, are they enough to take down Julu?”
Yue Fei shook his head and replied,""If we were to fight the county soldiers, we would naturally win every battle. However, if the Julu counties set up formations on the city walls and do not leave the city to fight with our army, and only defend the city to wait for reinforcements, the five hundred strong men would be insufficient.”
Zhang Xuan nodded. In this era, although martial arts were divine, and one person's martial courage could move mountains and overturn seas, it was naturally not difficult to break through a city. However, cultivators could also set up arrays to resist the impact of martial artists. He thought about it. Even if he created black gunpowder, it would probably not play a decisive role in this world unless he could mass produce firearms and other firearms.
"That's true. Julu has 15 counties under its jurisdiction, which is considered a large county in the world. Even if the soldiers go out to fight and we are lucky enough to take down all 15 counties, we can't defend them with only 500 strong men.”
Yue Fei shook his head, picked up the Dripping Spring Divine Spear and drew a map on the ground, saying," We need 30,000 elite soldiers to defend the city, but that's not the case. My lord, look at Julu's base of governance in Chentao. After we take down the entire territory of Julu, the surrounding counties will also have troops from the Road of Peace. We won't need to defend for the time being. During this period, we only need to recruit soldiers and horses to wait for the imperial court's army.”
"Aiya, that's true." Zhang Xuan was also blinded by a leaf, forgetting the time difference in between.
As everyone knew, the imperial court had always followed the rules of procedure. It was certain that they would react slowly. He only needed to be quick in his military. After occupying Julu, he would recruit soldiers, buy horses, and train them. Although the powerful families in the county were domineering and lawless in the past, they did not dare to raise soldiers privately. Therefore, he only needed to suppress them ruthlessly and temporarily did not have to worry about them causing trouble.
After that, Zhang Xuan began to discuss military strategies with Yue Fei on the drill ground. Yue Fei was one of the few famous generals from ancient times to the present. Although it was a hasty conversation, it was a great inspiration to Zhang Xuan.
Just as the two of them were talking excitedly, Uncle Zhang hurriedly reported,"Young lord, there is a person outside the camp who claims to be your good friend Liu Ji. He is currently waiting outside the camp.”
"Heh, someone gave me a pillow when I was sleepy.”Zhang Xuan's heart turned and he immediately bade farewell to Yue Fei. After letting him continue training, he went to the camp gate to see Liu Bowen.
"Brother Liu, Xuan Lai has come late.”Arriving at the camp gate, Zhang Xuan saw a person outside the camp from afar. He immediately jogged out and apologized as he ran.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, there were still many customs of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. As the saying goes, scholars die for those who know themselves. In Guanzhong, Zhang returned Liu Bei's kindness and followed him to fight north and south, not abandoning him even if he died. Zu Mao saved Sun Jian, Cao Ren saved Cao Cao, and both happened under the influence of this ethos.
When he got close, he saw that this person was dressed in a green robe and had bright eyes. He had a somewhat wise and eloquent temperament. After Zhang Xuan stood still, he immediately cupped his hands and bowed. He smiled and said,"Brother Bowen is so late, I have long been waiting for you.”
Seeing this, Liu Bowen quickly went forward to return the greeting. He also smiled and said,"Didn't I come to find you when I heard about your father's uprising? I originally thought that your father would send someone to bring you to Ye City, but I didn't expect Brother Taiping to come by himself. It's really unbelievable.”
Zhang Xuan smiled and did not explain. He pulled Liu Bowen's arm and walked straight into the camp. As they walked, he said,""Hurry up and enter the camp. I happen to have something that Brother Bowen needs to help me think of. You know that I don't know the art of war and military strategy, so I don't know what to do. Now that Brother Bowen is here, I finally have someone to help me.”
Liu Bowen didn't decline and followed Zhang Xuan into the camp. After sitting down in Zhang Xuan's room, Uncle Zhang went to prepare food and wine. When Zhang Xuan and Liu Bowen were left in the room, Liu Bowen stopped smiling and stared at Zhang Xuan with a solemn expression.
"Taiping, you and I have known each other for many years. If we weren't in the Yellow Turban camp, I would have thought that you were possessed by that old ghost. You used to dislike the Path of Peace, so why did you become the leader of the Path of Peace?”
Liu Bowen stared at Zhang Xuan without moving. After a long time, he laughed out loud."Taiping, why do you have to lie to me? Since you have the heart to help the world and calm the people, why don't you persuade your father to eliminate the military disaster and return the world to peace?”
