Did Liu Bei have Zhang Jiao's token?
Definitely not.
Facing Zhang Jiao's careful confirmation, Liu Bei said calmly,"I don't have a teacher's letter. If Zhang shi doesn't believe me, there's nothing I can do.”
Zhang Jiao didn't expect Liu Bei to be so honest. He didn't know what to say. Zhang Jiao was troubled.
If you don't believe it, Liu Bei's words are very convincing.
Believe it or not, it might endanger the lives of Zhang Jiao and hundreds of thousands of people in the Road of Peace.
Zhang Jiao had thought of thousands of possibilities, but he never expected Liu Bei to have transmigrated over a thousand years later.
How could Liu Bei not know about Zhang Jiao's concerns? He was neither flustered nor anxious. While sipping his tea, he said leisurely," Zhang shi, it wasn't easy to establish the Path of Peace. You mustn't ruin the plans that you've worked so hard for over the years because of Zhang Jie.”
"Young Master Liu, you, how did you know?？”Zhang Jiao was in a bad mood. He had even lost the ability to think. He said in a daze,"Other than my brothers, even my personal disciples don't know.”
Zhang Jiao's brothers were Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang. They were recruiting followers outside Jizhou and expanding the Road of Peace. They could not get in touch with Liu Bei, nor would they tell outsiders about such confidential matters.
"Haha!" " Zhang ? shi," Liu Bei said with a smile," you should know very little about your sect, or else you would know the true meaning behind Senior Brother Nanhua's teachings of the Scripture of Peace."”
"Young Master Liu, what do you mean?" Zhang Jiao was very humble. Although he hadn't admitted that Liu Bei was his martial uncle, he believed that Liu Bei was related to his sect.
"The Scripture of Peace talks about following the laws of heaven and earth, governing the country, cultivating one's moral character, and achieving peace in the world. It is hereby announced that the world can only eliminate disasters and become immortals by doing good deeds and accumulating virtue and believing in the correct way.”Liu Bei looked at Zhang Jiao and said," As for you, you've taken things out of context. You're greedy for money. How can you achieve the Great Dao and prove your immortal destiny?!"？”
"Of course, it doesn't matter whether Zhang shi listens or not.”Liu Bei seemed to be disinterested and said,"We are destined to meet. Let me tell you a little bit about Brother Nanhua's background!”
"Young Master Liu, please speak, I'm all ears!”Hearing that it was about the origin of his teacher, Zhang Jiao was just short of burning incense and praying. He was as respectful as he could be.
"Old Immortal Nanhua, you have sent the heavenly secrets to the Lacquer Garden. Spit out lofty and lofty theories, open up vast and mighty strange words…”Liu Bei used the poem "Ode to the Great Roc" by the immortal poet Li Bai to suppress all those who were dissatisfied.
Zhang Jiao didn't know what he was talking about, but he was extremely shocked. He really knew nothing about his master, Immortal Nanhua!
"Uncle-Master!" Zhang Jiao tasted it again and again. The more he tasted it, the more he felt that Liu Bei was unfathomable. Such an expert was definitely from the sect. Finally, he couldn't help but change his mind and acknowledge Liu Bei.
At this moment, Liu Bei became pretentious and said," Zhang shi, why do you have to be like this? You can just call me Xuande. It's up to fate. It's fine if you have the heart."”
"I wouldn't dare! Please give me some pointers, Martial Uncle.”Zhang Jiao respectfully asked Liu Bei,""In the current Han Dynasty, the emperor is fatuous, eunuchs are in power, plagues are rampant, and the people are in dire straits.”
"It's possible, but it's too difficult." Liu Bei pondered for a moment and said," Zhang shi, do you understand whose world this is?”
"Martial Uncle, the world today belongs to the Old Liu family.”"The emperor's surname is Liu, right?" Zhang Jiao answered without thinking.”
"Yes and no." Liu Bei said ambiguously," The royal family and the Liu family are not wrong. They are only the symbol of the highest power. But who holds the actual power and benefits?”
"Aristocratic family, it's an aristocratic family!" Zhang Jiao pondered for a long time and said,"The aristocratic families are deeply rooted and intertwined with each other. Whether it was land, knowledge, population, or power, they were all in their hands. This was the true power that controlled the world.”
Liu Bei wasn't surprised that Zhang Jiao had such insight. Since he was chosen by Immortal Nanhua and was taught the Taoist scripture, the Scripture of Peace, how could Zhang Jiao be simple? From Zhang Jiao's study and comprehension of the Peace Scripture, it was clear that Zhang Jiao's talent was terrifying.
"That's right. The world today is the world of aristocratic families. The Old Liu family is one of the aristocratic families, or rather, they are the representatives of the aristocratic families.”"To be precise, it's the Yili Group, which is dominated by aristocratic families, powerful families, local tycoons, and squires.”
Zhang Jiao didn't feel that Liu Bei's words were too much. It was as if Liu Bei's words were natural. The people of the immortal sects did not care about these things. The taboos of ordinary people would forever restrict ordinary people.
"Uncle-Master, does that mean that I and the Path of Peace I created are just pawns in their hands?”With Liu Bei's reminder, Zhang Jiao suddenly realized that there was a shadow of this interest group around him and the Road of Peace. He couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.
How could Zhang Jiao and the Road of Peace have developed to this day without the acquiescence of the aristocratic families? Without the cooperation of the aristocratic families, could the Yellow Turban Uprising erupt? Zhang Jiao and the Path of Peace were just tools used by interest groups to stir up the world and achieve their goals.
"The chaos in the world has already appeared. They have already begun to clear the area and are preparing to reshuffle the distribution of rights.”Liu Bei said calmly,"When the time comes, countless people will become chess pieces and will eventually become abandoned." And these people often thought that they could control the game.”
"Martial Uncle, do I have a chance?" Zhang Jiao did not hide anything." There are many followers of the Path of Peace in eight or nine states. A single shout from me is enough to shake the foundation of the Han Dynasty.”
Zhang Jiao was telling the truth, and it was true. Zhang Jiao raised his arm and shouted, and countless people responded, shaking the world. At the beginning, he had won many battles and conquered many cities. He had the momentum to conquer the world in one battle.
Although they were brutally suppressed and the uprising of Zhang Jiao and the Yellow Turbans ended in failure, it also caused the decline of the Han Dynasty. It even existed in name only, starting the chapter of the chaotic era of the Three Kingdoms.
"There's a chance, but it's not a big chance." Liu Bei said without hesitation,"Although the world is in chaos, the famous generals and powerful soldiers of the Han Dynasty are still there. Furthermore, although there were many followers of the Path of Peace, the good and the bad were mixed together, making it difficult for them to do things secretly. How could they succeed?”
The Yellow Turban Army had the advantage in numbers and internal problems. They were not organized and had no discipline. How could they be a match for the Han army led by famous generals like Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi, and Zhu Xi? In just seven months, everything was gone.
"Uncle-Master, I have countless wealth and a powerful army." Zhang Jiao didn't give up.”
Liu Bei shook his head and said," Zhang shi, let's not talk about wealth. No matter how much you have, you won't be able to surpass the other party. The powerful army you speak of should be the Undying Strongmen that you personally trained, right? But it's detrimental to your lifespan, so what's the use of it? There were too few people, and they could not change the overall situation.”
In order to determine the outcome of a war, other than strategy and tactics, the strength of the soldiers, the final thing was logistics. As for the wealth that Zhang Jiao had mentioned, it wasn't enough to sustain a local war.
It could be said that the Yellow Turban Army could not solve the logistical problem, and the outcome of the Yellow Turban uprising was already doomed.
As for the Undying Strongmen, they were the Yellow Turban death warriors that Zhang Jiao had spent a lot of effort to train. They were very good at fighting, but what was the point of fighting a national war?
Liu Bei also knew that Zhang Jiao had died because of this. He had died during the most crucial battle of the Yellow Turban Uprising. If Zhang Jiao died, all of this would be meaningless.
Could Zhang Jiao solve the Yellow Turban Army's logistics problem?
That was impossible!
Even a transmigrator like Liu Bei could not do it.
Therefore, there was no solution to this.
Seeing that Liu Bei even knew about his secret training of the Undying Strongmen, Zhang Jiao no longer doubted Liu Bei's identity as his Martial Uncle. He bowed and said,"Please teach me, Uncle-Master."
