The beginning is the emperor

Chapter 485 Convincing Zhang Jiao
"General Tiangong, my lord and I have discussed it before. We both believe that there is only one way out for the Yellow Turbans. In the face of opposition from all over the world, there is only one way to survive, and that is to overthrow the Han Dynasty in the true sense."

"How to do it?"

Zhang Jiao held his hands behind his back, his face calm and calm.

"General Tiangong, let's go straight to Luoyang."

This time, Zhang Jiao frowned slightly: "Take Luoyang directly? Not appropriate."

"Why not?"

"It's very simple. First, we don't have enough troops."

"Great Master, I have my lord's army. The number of the army should be over one million. That is enough."

"Going straight to Luoyang, there are at least several cities along the way, and they are important strategic cities with a lot of defense forces. Even if these troops can capture the city and station in the city, they will disperse their troops. The remaining troops , how can we attack Luoyang?"

Jia Xu smiled: "General Tiangong, why do we need to occupy those cities? Our goal is Luoyang, those cities, can't we go around?"

"Go around?"

Zhang Jiao frowned: "If we go around this way, we will be attacked."

"It's simple. I will draw a full third of the troops from the lord's army to block the pursuers. I think these troops can block them for at least a few days."

Jia Xu's words were indifferent, what he meant was to take out about 30 troops to die, just to buy time.

Zhang Jiao's eyes were slightly startled, he calmed down, and thought about it for a while: "In this way, use the remaining troops to go straight to Luoyang?"

"Yes! And the most important thing is Hulao Pass. Hulao Pass is the barrier in the east of Luoyang. The eastern part is naturally dangerous. Hulao Pass is the only obstacle in front of us. So when the time comes, we need your help .”

"How do I make a move?"

Zhang Jiao looked at the ordinary-looking middle-aged man in front of him, and felt that this guy's ordinary appearance was not simple, like a black curtain, which could take everyone into account.

"Great virtuous teacher, when the time comes, we will need you to use your unique skill of dunjia to help us attack the city and break through the Hulao Pass!"

Ren Tian said from the side.

Zhang Jiao pondered slightly, but did not rush to speak.

After a while, he said: "I still have a volume of Taiping essentials in my hand, and the first volume of the Tiandun book is also there. If you want me to use the art of dungeon to attack the city, it is indeed feasible. However, after occupying Hulao pass, things will happen." It's not as simple as you imagined. Luoyang is not without garrisons. The number of imperial forest troops is hundreds of thousands, and they are all elites.

Luoyang is the capital of the emperor, where the luck of the Han Dynasty is gathered. If I want to use Qimen Dunjia on Luoyang again, it is absolutely impossible. My Qimen Dunjia will be directly suppressed and will not work. With your strength, you can break through Luoyang? "

Jia Xu said calmly: "What if there happens to be a large army in the west when we break through Hulao Pass and appear on the west side of Luoyang?"

Zhang Jiao had a look of surprise on his face: "Which army?"

"Prefect of Xiliang, Dong Zhuo."

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Jiao suddenly fell silent.

Ren Tian asked: "Great virtuous teacher, do you think it is feasible?"

"I overlooked it, but the whole world, including these prefects, hates the Yellow Turban to the bone. Will you cooperate?"

"General Tiangong, Dong Zhuo is greedy for profit and obsessed with power. If you go rashly, you will definitely not be able to do so. But if we break through Hulao Pass, he will not be tempted. This is an excellent opportunity for him."

"As you said, what if it succeeds?"

Zhang Jiao looked at Jia Xu with bright eyes: "After success, what will happen to Dong Zhuo?"

"It's simple, General Tiangong, after the matter is completed, we can just get rid of Dong Zhuo."

Zhang Jiao seemed to be a little slip of the tongue.

After Jia Xu finished speaking, she just waited there quietly, Ren Tian didn't speak anymore, and let Zhang Jiao think.

Zhang Jiao turned around, looked at the talismans on the table, and various thoughts flashed in his eyes.

"My previous plan was to divide the troops into multiple groups. After one uprising is successful, they will go to support the other. In this way, they will be able to gradually control the world by uniting with each other."

"General Tiangong, if we go straight to Luoyang, the troops besieging the other Yellow Turbans will immediately withdraw their troops and turn to besiege us. In this way, we will give the rest of the Yellow Turbans a chance to breathe."

Zhang Jiao turned around and looked at Jia Xu: "You are right, so let's do this."

A flash of joy flashed in Ren Tian's heart, well, Zhang Jiao has finished the most critical part.

"Go down and get ready."

Jia Xu bowed slightly: "General Tiangong, we may temporarily need the command of the army. Before the army withdraws, we should first paralyze Liu Bei's army. In this way, it can delay a lot of time."

"Ah."

Zhang Jiao nodded.

Afterwards, Ren Tian and Jia Xu resigned.

When the two left the camp, Zhang Jiao coughed again, covered his mouth with his hands, and looked at his hands again, it was all covered with blood.

"I don't have much time left. Perhaps, as he said, this is the last chance."

Ren Tian walked out of the camp, and the oppressive atmosphere just now disappeared.

"Go and tell General Bai to take charge of the entire army and prepare to march to Luoyang according to your plan."

"Yes."

Jia Xu was about to go down, but saw a soldier not far away, hurried over, and was about to enter the camp.

"what's up?"

Jia Xu called to stop the soldier, who hesitated a little, Jia Xu took out the token that Zhang Jiao had just given.

"General Tiangong asked me to take command of the military camp temporarily. If you need anything, just tell us."

The soldier saluted, and then took out a letter. Jia Xu opened it and looked at it, pondering slightly.

Ren Tian also glanced at it, and immediately learned of the latest intelligence tip, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao's troops have joined forces and are currently confronting the imperial coalition forces, not far from here, and want to request Zhang Jiao's support .

"Who's here to deliver the letter?"

"It's one of the new apprentices of the good teacher."

The newly recruited apprentice is the player.

Ren Tian thought about it, let the other party go down first, and looked at Jia Xu.

"Wenhe, what do you think we should do?"

"My lord, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao are the younger brothers of General Tiangong. It is very likely that General Tiangong will not refuse to save him. Although according to the letter, our army's rush to rescue can inflict heavy damage on the imperial coalition forces, but this is only a partial strategy. , compared with the westward march to Luoyang that I am waiting for, it is still far behind."

Ren Tian asked lightly: "Then how should we deal with it?"

A gleam flashed in Jia Xu's plain eyes: "It's simple, my lord, you can go to appease me first, and I'll go and inform General Bai to take part of the army with me. In the future, all the troops who send letters will be dealt with. As long as the message doesn't reach With General Tiangong, we will follow the plan."
