"The world is peaceful? Brother Bowen is so absurd. Now the Han Dynasty has lost its political power and the people are in dire straits. I don't see a folk saying: The common people's hair is like leeks, cut and grow again; The head is like a chicken, cut and cry again. Officials need not be feared, but they must be despised. But I hope to be pacified."
"The Han family has lost its virtue, and the world is filled with complaints. Why can't the Path of Peace imitate Tang and Wu in the uprising?”
Liu Bowen wasn't an ordinary person, so he wouldn't join Zhang Xuan so easily. Zhang Xuan then repeated what he had said to Zhang Jiao.
"The current Han Emperor, Liu Hong, originally had no destiny. He was only the grandson of Hejian and the son of Marquis Ting. Because the previous emperor had no descendants and the officials were weak, they made him the emperor.
" And he himself had no virtue. After he succeeded to the throne, although he could get rid of his relatives, he favored eunuchs and treacherous officials, selling official positions and titles. As a result, the eunuchs 'families ran amok in the Central Plains. There were countless aristocratic families across provinces and counties. There were groups of children and servants in his family, tens of thousands of ordinary farmers, and even the land of a county and county belonged to the aristocratic families."
"I have heard a wise man say that the world does not belong to one person. The world belongs to the people of the world. The people were born, and the monarch was set up to support and govern them.”
Liu Bowen listened to Zhang Xuan's words and his expression gradually became solemn. After Zhang Xuan finished speaking, he immediately stood up and cupped his hands in salute."Since you have such ambition, Bowen is willing to serve you.”
Zhang Xuan was overjoyed. He quickly helped Liu Bowen up and said anxiously,""With Brother Bowen's help, wouldn't King Wen get Taigong and Gao Di get Zhang Liang? I'm done!"
After the two of them sat down, Liu Bowen said,""Today, I saw several groups of people rushing out of Ye City and heading in all directions. Has the great virtuous teacher already decided to raise a matter?”
Zhang Xuan nodded and replied," That's right. Today, my father has already ordered all parties to take action today and attack the provinces and counties respectively. I have been appointed as the Chief of Julu and will be returning to attack Julu in a few days. The Great Virtuous Master has ordered me to train an elite army after I take Julu. It will be of great use in the future. I am not clear about the meaning of this for the time being.”
"Hiss, this... The great teacher had been preaching for a long time and shouldn't have made such a mistake. Since he wanted to start a rebellion, why not order all parties to attack Luoyang together? Although the various factions occupied the most land, the Imperial Court and the world's aristocratic families retaliated greatly after they reacted. Moreover, the various factions were scattered, so how could they resist?”Liu Bowen was familiar with the world's major events, so he understood immediately after Zhang Xuan said it.
Then, Zhang Xuan smiled bitterly and looked at the sky outside the window.""The heavens are dead, the yellow heavens should be established.”
"Oh? The heavens are dead, the yellow heavens shall rise!"
"If that's the case, then it'll be difficult to achieve great things.”
Hearing this, Liu Bowen paused for a moment and then seemed to understand. After all, he was also a Ghost Immortal.
" Now that you've said it, I understand why the Great Virtuous Master ordered you to train the soldiers. The Path of Peace can only destroy the Great Han's fate and weaken it infinitely, but it cannot destroy its dragon veins. Therefore, it only seeks to conquer the land and not the capital, Luoyang.”
Zhang Xuan nodded. He could vaguely guess Zhang Jiao's intention. However, he didn't need to think so much now. With the Tomes of Arcane, Zhang Xuan didn't need to worry about elite soldiers. The most important thing now was to take down Julu.
"Forget it, father has his own plans. After I take down Julu and train an elite army, it won't be too late to think about this. Bowen, do you have a plan to break through the fifteen cities of Julu?”
Liu Bowen looked at Zhang Xuan, not knowing whether he should or not. He held his chin and thought for a moment before saying,"Before we start, I still have something to say. Do you know why Robber Zhi, Chen Sheng, Lu Lin, Red Eyebrows, Tong Ma, and the other Revolutionary Armies were unable to succeed?”
Zhang Xuan didn't say anything. He knew that Liu Bowen must have something to say when he raised this question, so he said,""Xuan Bucai, please enlighten me.”
"I have the theory of the Nine Evils to analyze the defeat of the Revolutionary Army.”
：
The first evil was "blaspheming the way of the saints and destroying the principles of heaven and human relations."
The two evils attacked without restraint, like bandits.
The Three Evils 'Sometimes Descent, Sometimes Reversal, Suspicion of Each Other'
The four evils are "not self-sufficient in food and pay, and do not know the art of war in battle"
The Five Evils: "Plundering other people's wives and daughters 'property, only knowing to take from the people, but not caring for the people."
Six evils: "Generals are narrow-minded and unfair in rewards and punishments."
Seven evils: " Soldiers lack training, fighting is like a gang fight."
The eight evils "gather when they win, scatter when they lose"
The Nine Evils: "This Revolutionary Army and the other Revolutionary Army are suspicious of each other and attack each other."
Liu Bowen clearly listed out the evils of the rebel army. He was indeed a great talent with a great reputation in history. These conclusions made Zhang Xuan enlightened.
He had summarized the nine evils in a simple way, which was of great help to Zhang Xuan.
If the nine evils were changed into the nine evils, it could be said that they could be used as the code of conduct for the rebel army. Combined with Zhang Xuan's memories, the first evil meant that the rebel army had no beliefs and no principles of action. They opposed the path of the saints recognized by the imperial court, but they could not bring out their own principles.
As for the second, third, sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth conditions, they were saying that the Revolutionary Army did not have any plans and would attack the various regions without any thought. They would only attack the various regions to rob them of their wealth, food, and children without any strategic goals. The Revolutionary Army's generals were short-sighted and brainless, unable to give rewards and punishments evenly. They would train their soldiers to be strong after hundreds of battles, and that was the style of a bandit.
The fourth and fifth points were to say that the Revolutionary Army did not have a political mind. They only knew how to bully and extort from the places they conquered. They could not manage the territories they conquered well and could not obtain the support of the people. They could not have a stable income of money and food, nor could they have their own territory to fight a protracted war with the Imperial Court.
Seeing that Zhang Xuan had taken his words to heart, Liu Bowen smiled and said,"" It's not difficult to conquer Julu at the moment, but the hard part is how to manage it. If we can completely avoid the nine points that I mentioned, even if the Path of Peace fails in the end, my lord can still set up a territory and wait for the right time.”
Zhang Xuan stood up and bowed to Liu Bowen.""Today, I want to hire Brother Bowen as my military advisor. I hope Brother Bowen can help me get rid of the Han Dynasty and help the people!”
Seeing this, Liu Bowen did not avoid it. After receiving Zhang Xuan's bow, he immediately helped Zhang Xuan up and bowed again."It's better to obey than to be respectful. Liu Ji greets the lord!”
