Chapter 398 Release Troops
Ding Sheng's strange words made the yellow turban generals across from him glare at him angrily. This is what they thought in their hearts.
Yes, we people are indeed either defeated or surrendered, but are we naturally one level lower? If you scold me like this, are you still a man?
So when Ding Sheng finished speaking, a hot-tempered Yellow Turban general yelled:
"Fuck you, you are raising a boy in the army. Naigong is a top-ranking man and cannot do such dirty things."
But what he said made several yellow scarf generals nearby blush, because they really care. But at this time, they didn't say anything, and just let the man with a bad temper take the lead.
What kind of bad temper is Ding Sheng? If he doesn't scold others, he is already good-tempered. When did he get scolded like this?
So, without saying a word, Ding Sheng took off his boots and smashed them into the face of the angry man.
Now it was as if the pot had been lifted from both sides, and there was a lot of noise.
At this time, Zhang Chong seemed to have finished reading the map on the screen and turned around.
He didn't say a word, just looked at the people on both sides, and then clasped his fingers rhythmically on the table.
The first one to be scared was Ding Sheng. When he saw Qu Shuai's eyes, he hurriedly bent down and ran to the opposite side. He first picked up his boots, then touched the bad-tempered yellow scarf general just now and said:
< br>
"I'm sorry, my feet are slippery and my hands are slippery. I'm sorry, don't take it personally."
Then Ding Sheng bowed down and returned to the opposite side in the astonished eyes of the yellow scarves. Then this man looked at his nose and nose, and stood there honestly, motionless.
It was as if the person who threw the boots was not him.
The Yellow Turban generals over there, while being puzzled by Ding Sheng, also felt the majesty of the legendary Soaring General, and gradually lowered their eyes and calmed down, not daring to explode any more.
Zhang Chong just looked at both sides, then suddenly smiled, and then walked off the stage.
He first walked up to Ding Sheng, looked at him, and then sneered:
"Ding Daqi, you have really made a difference. Are these boots on your feet hurting your feet? How about I change you to a pair of straw sandals?"
Ding Sheng didn't dare to tell lies at all and said honestly:
"Qu Shuai, you know that I, Old Ding, have a bad temper and can't have any bad intentions. I was just having fun with my comrades."
Zhang Chong ignored Ding Sheng, kicked him, and walked away.
Zhang Chong has always had his own ideas about Ding Sheng, so he will tolerate or even acquiesce to a certain extent.
After Zhang Chong left, Ding Sheng slowly breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the expressionless Li Damu, Ding Sheng couldn't help but hammer his solid and powerful chest.
It's your fault. When Nai Gong got angry just now, you didn't know how to stop him.
Zhang Chong had no time to deal with Ding Sheng, a living treasure. He walked to Zhang Ji on the opposite side, looked at this person first, and then said with a smile:
"The fight at Zhangshui was good, and the Zhang family was not embarrassed."
Zhang Ji had something on his mind. When he saw Zhang Chong saying such things, he was worried that he was coming to settle accounts after the fall, so he explained:
"General Chongtian, everyone has his own master before. Zhang naturally has to sacrifice his life for Taiping Road, but unfortunately, Zhang is just a mediocre person. How can he stop your army's fierce tigers and not escape in embarrassment in the end?"
< br>
Seeing Zhang Ji's slippery hands, Zhang Chong just smiled and said:
"What a mediocre person? I think he is a capable person."
After saying that, Zhang Chong ignored the strange looks from all the Yellow Turban generals, and then started chatting with several Yellow Turban generals.
Especially when he walked in front of Guo Tai, Zhang Chong talked the most.
First, he asked how the Yellow Turban brothers in Baibo Valley, east of Hedong, were doing, and then asked where they had stayed when they recently entered the city and what they needed.
Guo Tai was also flattered and answered all the above questions.
Guo Tai couldn't help but be surprised, because he knew better than all the Yellow Turban Army generals present how big the gap was between them and the Taishan Army.
Before running away, Guo Tai went to Guan Yu's camp in Julu. After that, Guan Yu kept Guo Tai in the army and took him with him during this Eastern Expedition.
Likewise, Guo Taicai, who was in the army, understood that the strength of the Taishan Army was by no means the result of one or two fierce generals and warriors, but the overall strength.
The several yellow scarf generals next to Guo Tai all looked at Guo Tai with envy. No matter how stupid they were, they understood clearly that the Soaring General had a special regard for Guo Daxian.
None of these Yellow Turban generals have any ambitions, like Zhang Ji, who wants to compete with the famous General Chongtian.
After Zhang Chong and Guo Tai chatted, they asked others in the crowd. After learning their names and place of origin, Zhang Chong encouraged them.
In fact, the Feijun Foreign Army already knew almost all the information about the big and small Qushuai in Guangzong City. But Zhang Chong knows that he knows, but he can't treat others well.
It can be said that Zhang Chong has never seen any of the Yellow Turban generals present except those who previously belonged to his teacher's line.
So this time when everyone was together, he just matched these people with the intelligence records.
And compared to the words that lacked information, Zhang Chong believed what he saw more. After all, who gave him the advantage?
And looking at it this way, Zhang Chong did find a lot of warriors. It seems that the Hebei Yellow Turbans are not really that bad.
Of course, Hebei Yellow Turban, as the main road of Taiping Road, originally included rural markets in five or six states. Don’t contact and absorb too many heroic groups.
In this way, the Hebei Yellow Turbans do not lack warriors, but they lack management masters.
Zhang Chong saw another man with extraordinary courage, so he went up to ask.
This man has ape-like arms and a wasp-like waist, and has thick joints, especially one pair of legs, which are like two steel whips. They are thick and powerful. At first glance, he looks like a general who is good at moving.
At this moment, the man lowered his head, as if he was trying his best to conceal his presence.
When Zhang Chong walked up to him, the man continued to lower his head and backed away slightly.
Zhang Chong grabbed the man's shoulders and asked:
"What's your name."
The man's shoulders were buckled and he couldn't break free, so he replied honestly:
"Back to General Chongtian, the junior general's surname is Chu and his given name is Feiyan."
When Zhang Chong heard this name, he took a good look at this person.
I saw that this man was dark-skinned and looked ordinary, but there was one strange feature, that is, there were two black moles on both sides of his cheekbones. At a glance, it looked like he had two scars on his head.
Zhang Chong naturally understood Chu Feiyan.
In fact, Zhang Chong regarded this person as an imaginary enemy at first.
He first entered Taiping Road four years ago. After worshiping the general Zhang Bao, he thought about his future.
According to history, Zhang Chong knew that the person in front of him who inherited the greatest legacy of the Yellow Turbans was named Chu Feiyan, who was named Zhang Yan in history. His Black Mountain Army is the majority of the Yellow Turbans in Hebei. It was precisely with the help of these more than 100,000 troops that this man was first recruited and later became one of the three major forces in Hebei. He also played a role in the competition with Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan.
Later, this person joined Cao Cao again, and he was naturally a high official and well-paid, and he also had several generations of wealth.
So Zhang Chong knew at that time that if he wanted to inherit the mantle of the Yellow Turban Army after the death of the three Zhang brothers, his biggest enemy would be Chu Feiyan.
At that time, Zhang Chong's idea was to develop in Guanxi, then go north to Hedong to fight for the Baibo bandits, and then go to Heishan to fight with Zhang Yan for the remaining Hebei Yellow Turbans. After thinking about the reasons, they made a fuss about Zhang Yan's being rewarded by the Han Dynasty, saying how he could still be the leader of Taiping Road since he had surrendered to the Han Dynasty.
However, the development of current events does not depend on human will at all. Taishan Fang, who originally planned to take advantage of the Yellow Turbans, turned out to be rebellious and fought harder and harder all the way, until the main force of the Han Dynasty collapsed.
It can be said that the current history has changed beyond recognition, and the Taishan Army has also become a well-deserved anti-Han subject under the leadership of Zhang Chong. Even now, the Hebei Yellow Turbans, which were originally so large that they looked up to them, have to look up to themselves.
Just like the Chu Feiyan in front of her, she didn't even have the courage to look at him. Zhang Chong was both proud and uninterested. He looked at Chu Feiyan a few more times, said nothing more, just patted him on the shoulder and left.
Although Zhang Chong said nothing, the impact on Chu Feiyan's heart was huge.
Chu Feiyan was originally worried in his heart. He didn't know what was wrong with him at the time. When Zuo Zhangba called him, he really answered and killed Zhang Ji.
Chu Feiyan may also know in her heart that she is jealous of Zhang Ji. Jealous that he has a good adoptive father, he knows what his group of envoys are doing.
There are two groups of Zhang Jiao's young envoys. One group is the young warriors in the army such as Chu Feiyan. They were shot with swords and guns, and then they were trained by Zhang Jiao. There is also a wave of handsome nephews. No matter what their abilities, these people are kept by Zhang Jiao's side, both for training and as protons.
But the commanders of the Yellow Turban Army were all poor in their early years and could not find wives at all. Later they became busy preaching and fighting, and they had no time to marry. It can be said that most of them have no sons.
Therefore, it has become common for people like Zhang Niujiao to adopt adopted sons by themselves. This is how Zhang Ji became an envoy.
Originally, Chu Feiyan looked down on the latter, because these people generally relied on the shadow of their parents and were not considered capable. But Zhang Ji is different. He is not only the adopted son of Zhang Niujiao, the handsome Yellow Turban Daqu, but he is also outstanding in his own right. So he quickly surpassed Chu Feiyan and became the whip-wielding envoy beside Zhang Jiao.
Maybe the seeds of jealousy were planted at that time.
Now Chu Feiyan regrets it very much. He knows that killing Pao Ze in the battle and surrendering his left beard will definitely be a stain on his life. Not to mention his future future, he doesn't even know whether he can survive this purge.
Therefore, Chu Feiyan felt gloomy and was already thinking about whether to run away and join the Han army. At this time, General Chongtian asked his name again and left without saying a word.
All this made Chu Feiyan panic, and she strengthened her determination to run away later.
Chu Feiyan was from a wealthy family. Although she had made a decision in her heart, she couldn't tell it on her face.
Over there, after Zhang Chong got to know a circle of people, he walked back to the stage again.
But this time, Zhang Chong lost his smile and said this to everyone seriously:
"I'm calling everyone here this time because I want to talk about the remaining 100,000 Yellow Turban Army."
As soon as Zhang Chong said this, there was a commotion below. All the soldiers present were commanders, and the soldiers in their hands were their own property. How could they not care?
Zhang Chong ignored the commotion below and continued:
"You have also seen this battle. The Yellow Turbans in Hebei had more than 100,000 troops. They were finally defeated by the Han army in Qinghe. Therefore, such a large number of soldiers and horses still have to be reduced. This army still needs to be organized, otherwise it will remain the same. We still can’t fight.”
Now everyone knows, it turns out that you, Zhang Chong, want to seize everyone's military power.
At this time, some people couldn't bear it any longer. Knowing that they didn't want Zhang Chong to see him, they simply stepped forward and gave it a try.
This person is Zhang Ji's younger brother Zhang Liang. He knows that the first one to come forward will definitely be targeted by Zhang Chong, but he can twist everyone into one and expand the influence of their small group.
So Zhang Liang held his head high and said something like this:
"Isn't General Chongtian being too domineering in doing this? The traitor Zuo Beard Zhangba didn't even say he wanted to take our soldiers, but you want to take them away? You know, the commander-in-chief of Qu was established when the great virtuous teacher was alive. The existence is also the foundation of my Taiping Dao. Now you, General Chongtian, want to take away the foundation of my religion.”
Since he wanted to quarrel with each other, Zhang Liang said it very rudely, and he always thought of himself as a righteous person, and his words were very beautiful.
Zhang Chong looked at Zhang Liang who jumped out first and was not surprised. He knew that this was Zhang Ji's younger brother and there was a group of people behind him.
The Yellow Turban generals present now can probably be divided into four factions. The remaining generals from the line of Tiangong, the remaining generals from the line of General Digong, the forces of General Renggong, and finally the Zhang family's clan forces.
Zhang Ji and others were reluctantly members of the Zhang family's clan and the remnants of the Digong generals. As for the remaining generals such as Zhang Baiqi, they had already moved closer to Zhang Chong, while the remaining generals of Tiangong were leaderless after the death of Zuo Zhangba. They were very worried that they would be purged later, so some of them moved closer to Zhang Ji. Some are bowing their heads honestly.
So Zhang Chong was not surprised at all that Zhang Ji's younger brother Zhang Liang would come out to sing the opposite.
However, not being surprised does not mean that it can be tolerated, so Zhang Chong said rudely:
"Oh, do you still need me to seize the foundation of Taipingdao? Haven't I been defeated by you people a long time ago? Tell me, how many collapses have happened in the past six months? Do you want me to tell you one by one? ”
Zhang Chong's words made the Yellow Turbans' ears turn red, and they lowered their heads unconsciously.
Yes, after several coups, who dares to say that Taiping Dao still has a foundation.
Zhang Liang also knew that this was not argumentative, so he changed his direction and said:
"General Chongtian, we did something wrong today. We are not discussing whether to fight or not. We are discussing how to deal with Heishan and Zuo Xiao for rebelling against the party. Otherwise, General Di Gong will die in Jiuquan without resting in peace."
What Zhang Liang said was really beautiful, so a group of people immediately started clamoring to deal with the remaining members of Zuo Beard Zhangba.
Zhang Chong was not in a hurry. He tapped the table with his fingers and asked lightly:
"Oh, tell me, what are you going to do with it?"
Zhang Liang did not give in at this time and said directly:
"After our discussion, we agreed that all the rebels, including Heishan and Zuo Xiao, should be eliminated. We have decided on the number of them, a total of 236 people, and their names are all here."
After speaking, Zhang Liang passed up the prepared list.
And all this directly caused an uproar.
Those insecure rebels like Chu Feiyan are in turmoil. Just now, you two brothers were discussing the number of people. Now you will come up with a list. It turns out that you have already decided on it.
After Zhang Chong took the list, he flipped through it casually and kept laughing. Then he casually threw the list on the table and sneered:
"How come I don't know about this? Does it mean that you, Zhang Liang, decide who lives and who dies? Then what do you want me, a soaring general, to do?"
Zhang Liang anticipated Zhang Chong's reaction and said calmly:
"General Chongtian is out there. He is not familiar with the whole story of that day. He is afraid that he can't figure out who is loyal and who is traitorous. That's why we have come up with this list so that General Chongtian can know how many traitors there are."
Zhang Chong laughed and interrupted Zhang Liang with a wave of his hand:
"What a eloquent person. Do you mean that I, Zhang Chong, don't know right from wrong and can't tell the difference between evil and evil? What a delusional person. At this time, I have to say a few unpleasant words to everyone present."
"Isn't it ridiculous for you people here to say that you are loyal and treacherous? If you are loyal and righteous, how can I, my master, be killed? If you are loyal and righteous, how can the general of the land be killed? If you are loyal and righteous, how can you let your left beard and eight feet tall become the crown prince? Fu? What they said today is really going to make you laugh.”
At this time, Zhang Liang's face was already ugly. He didn't expect Zhang Chong to be so disrespectful. On the one hand, he was ashamed and annoyed, and on the other hand, he was a little uneasy.
Zhang Chong did not give the remaining people a chance to speak, and continued to sarcastically say:
"I, Zhang Chong, am also a member of Taiping Dao, and I have dedicated myself to Taiping Dao. Over the past year or so, I first fought in Laiwu, and then moved to Heji. Along the way, there were countless disciples of my teaching. After that, Ruying Yellow Turban became like a dangerous egg. Once again, I, Zhang Chong, led my army to fight thousands of miles away and defeated Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun. Then, when there was trouble in Hebei, I went north to Xingyang to share the Han army with my colleagues in Hebei. Finally, I went north to Yecheng and defeated the Han army in Hebei. Mr. Zong, is there anything that I didn’t do for Taiping Dao? Is there anything that you don’t owe me?”
At this time, Zhang Chong had completely taken over the conversation. The yellow scarf generals all lowered their heads and remained silent. Even Zhang Ji did not dare to say a word.
So Zhang Chong continued:
"Forget all this, just think of what I should do as Taiping Dao. But what now? Without me leading the troops to the east, just you? You would have died by Shen Pei's sword long ago. You idiots here Can a dog bark in front of me? ”
With that said, Zhang Chong slapped the table hard, then stood up, pointed his halberd at everyone and cursed:
"Without me, Zhang Chong, all of you would have either become lonely ghosts or lost dogs. Without me, Zhang Chong, how many of the millions of Yellow Turbans would have died in the ravines? Without me, Zhang Chong, this road to peace would have been long gone. If it were not for me, Zhang Chong, there would be no one in the world who would remember such a group of people who once asked for the leader of Guizhou.”
"So, remember, it's not me who owes Taiping Dao, but Taiping Dao who owes me. You idiots still want to put on a layer of skin, pretend to be in front of me, and tell you. Today, you I will take care of this. Just now you said you would punish those who rebel against the party, but it is up to me to decide who rebels against the party. Do you think I am negotiating with you just now when I say we want to reduce the number of troops?”
"From now on, whoever is in favor and who is against? Everyone stand up for me!"
After saying this, the whole place fell silent. Even the squinting Guan Yu stared and glanced across the room.
He wanted to see if it was his head or his knife that was stronger!
In fact, now, Guan Yu is no longer needed to hold the sword.
Just look at the yellow scarf generals present, who are either fighting with their legs or shaking like chaff, and you will know how frightened Zhang Chong's words are to them.
These people finally knew what kind of person the Soaring General above was.
A silent fear filled everyone's hearts.
On the first day of August, everyone supports monthly tickets and takes off!
