Chapter 83 Deprivation
What happened?
The letter in Zhang Chong's hand was sent by his senior brother Big Beard. The letter only said one thing:
"Tang Zhou accused Zhang Chong of three major crimes against his wise teacher at the Normal University, and wanted to deprive Zhang Chong of his teaching position in Taishanqu."
The first crime of Zhang Chong in the Tang and Zhou Dynasties was that he was not familiar with the meaning of the classics. It is said that Zhang Chong has never attended the lecture meeting in Dongpingling for more than a year, and how can such a brave and ruthless person do it all?
The second crime against Zhang Chong: provocation without permission. It is said that Zhang Chong fought with Feng Gao some time ago, which attracted the attention of nearby powerful men. Although they don't know that Zhang Chong is from Taiping Dao yet, if things continue like this, they will definitely be exposed. The Year of Jiazi is getting closer and closer, and Zhang Chong's approach will only expose Taiping Dao's plans.
The third crime against Zhang Chong was to equalize the land. It is really a wolfish ambition to say that during this period, Zhang Chong frequently attacked good families around him, bad people's foundations, pleased foolish men, and invited famous people to form cliques in the church.
This is a crime within a crime, and it is also the real reason why Tang Zhou no longer wants to pretend and directly breaks his face. There are not only small people like Zhang Chong in Taiping Road, more of the middle and upper class are local tycoons. They entered Taiping Road to help each other, not to let Zhang Chong come and equalize their land.
What Zhang Chong did in Licheng and Tugu counties directly aroused public outrage. With the help of Tang and Zhou Dynasties, they jointly reported Zhang Chong's three major crimes to the great virtuous master, and they were determined to capture him.
Ji Sun said in the letter that he should come to Dongpingling as soon as possible. The Taoist envoy from Hebei was coming soon and asked him to prepare early. The situation was not optimistic.
Zhang Chong was caught off guard by the news.
He felt that this matter was not simple, because he was a disciple of Ren Gong. It stands to reason that if Tang Zhou and others' guilt sheets were sent to Hebei, Zhang Liang would press them, because on that day when peach blossoms bloomed, he and Zhang Liang This deer's first strategy has been decided for a long time.
What Zhang Chong is doing now is based on this strategy, and Zhang Liang will not know it.
Although he was doubtful, Zhang Chong was not entangled. He immediately rushed to Dongpingling to deal with the Taoist envoy coming from Hebei.
At this moment, Zhang Chong's career was just getting better. After more than a year of bloody battles, he finally took control of the northern part of Mount Tai. He also planned to continue to expand southward. Without the network of Taiping Road, how would he get the supplies for his subsequent southern expedition.
And more importantly, Taipingdao also needs him. Having been in this world for so long, Zhang Chong has seen through this damn world and knows that without him, the millions of poor people in Taiping Road who are looking for a living will only become the trophies of the powerful in the end.
Don’t you see, none of the heroes in the late Han Dynasty got their start by suppressing the Taiping Dao. Cao Cao is like this, Sun Jian is like this, Liu Bei is like this.
What's wrong with these small people in Guizhou? They even just want to eat millet and their families will no longer starve to death. But such a low desire turned into a luxury in the brutal killings of the powerful.
In this case, let’s roar back to the powerful men in the world:
"The hair is like a leek, it will grow back after being cut; the head is like a chicken, it will crow again after being cut; officials need not be feared, but the common people should never be taken lightly."
Therefore, Zhang Chong also needs the Way of Peace. Without these millions of roarers, how can Zhang Chong's bonfire burn throughout the wasteland.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Chong, who has always cultivated his energy, is so nervous.
As soon as Zhang Chong came back to Duman, he told him about the sacrifice of Sun Xinli.
Duman also realized the seriousness of the problem. This was the first time since Zhang Chong entered Taiping Dao that he had been accused of a collective crime within the church. If it could not be properly resolved, Zhang Chong might really be abandoned by Taiping Dao.
The two discussed for a while in the hall, mainly preparing for the worst case scenario.
If Zhang Chong was just deprived of his teaching position, it would be okay to adjust his strategy later. But if he was detained in Dongpingling, Duman and others would shrink back to the mountain, wait for him to escape, and join them in the mountain.
And because of this incident, several nearby field-protecting soldiers who had divided their fields had to hurry up and establish them. He asked Duman to stay here during this period and be responsible for coordinating the matter.
Finally, Zhang Chong also warned Duman:
"Be sure to start well and end well, and never let others down again."
After explaining this, Zhang Chong took two soldiers and set off towards Dongpingling. Duman sent Zhang Chong to the outside of the wall. Looking at the back of Zhang Chong's three riders retreating, he sighed:
"Shi Zaizi, if you don't let me down, I will never let you down. But this road is really too difficult. Can we really go on?"
Then Duman thought about Zhang Qiu slowly sinking into the cesspit and the stars that could not be found in the sky. He sighed and went back to the wall.
He wants to help Zhang Chong protect this foundation! He also wanted to be able to see his father's star when he looked up.
Here, Zhang Chong led two armies on horseback to Dongpingling.
This place is not far from Dongping Mausoleum, about forty miles away, not a long road. But it was already afternoon, and even if I rushed to Dongpingling, I couldn't get in. The city gates were closed by that time.
Therefore, Zhang Chong and the others did not gallop, but walked and rested to build up their power. Along the way, they arrived at a pavilion.
This pavilion is the only pavilion from Tugu to Dongpingling. It is already full of businessmen. They all come here to rest before going to Dongpingling West Market early tomorrow morning to sell.
Zhang Chong and the others showed the forged talismans to the pavilion soldiers on the roadside, and then led the horses into the pavilion.
The pavilion attendant said that there was another room on the west corridor where three people could squeeze in. He also asked if he wanted some wine. He made it at home and it tasted very good.
Zhang Chong didn't like wine, so the other two people didn't dare to say anything when they saw that he didn't want it. They just said they wanted millet and water.
Seeing how stingy these three people were, the waiter stopped talking and told them where the stable was and left.
Before leaving, this person still had his duty after all, and reminded them that they had to hunt the cued grass themselves. Of course, if they didn't want to bother, there were people selling it nearby.
Seeing that the pavilion soldiers were leaving, Zhang Chong asked Cai Que and Guo Zu to take the horses to the stables, and asked them to buy turds for the horses to eat. Be careful of the twigs sold by merchants and treacherous men. This kind of grass should never be given to horses. , thinning.
After receiving the order, Cai Que and Guo Zu led their horses away.
This Cai was indeed the iron beast who surrendered to Li Damu on the battlefield that day. Zhang Chong captured this man in the Jiangkou camp because in his eyes, this man was a warrior.
And Guo Zu was a Taishan citizen. In the fight with Feng Gaohao, he killed six people by himself, and was selected into Zhang Chong's collision team with his bravery.
These two men were the two armies led by Zhang Chong, both of whom were brave for a moment.
Then Zhang Chong ignored the two of them and went to find the way by himself. He went all the way to the west corridor and found Li She.
Needless to say, this pavilion is specifically designed for business travelers. Although the interior is not luxurious, it is better than clean. Beds, couches and mats are all available.
Zhang Chong sat down and rested for a while. There was a knock on the door, saying that he was here to bring millet and water.
As soon as Zhang Chong opened the door, he saw a plump Kunfali concubine standing at the door carrying a bucket of millet and a jar of water.
Zhang Chong looked strange when he saw this person, but he still got out of the way and let her in.
As soon as the concubine came in, she lowered her head and cautiously placed the millet bucket and earthen pot on the table. Just when she was about to leave, Zhang Chong suddenly said something.
The concubine's face turned red.
