Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

"Chen Yang!"

Chen Yang didn't hide anything, and directly reported his name.

Because he felt that Zhang Yan and the others could be used for his own use, and could even help him find the people of Taipingdao.

Just hearing this name, Zhang Yan felt very familiar. After thinking about it for a moment, she was surprised: "You are the Chen Yang who defeated Yan Liang's 8000 people with 5 people in Baima?"

Recently, Chen Yang's name can be said to have spread throughout the entire Han Dynasty.

Under the backdrop of several confrontations between Cao and Yuan, Chen Yang's reputation was greatly shaken, and even covered up many famous generals who had already become famous.

"It turned out to be you, no wonder...we didn't deserve to lose!" Zhang Yan murmured.

At the beginning, Yan Liang's 5 people were defeated by Chen Yang with 8000 people. Now they only have thousands of mobs, and they are not worth mentioning in front of Chen Yang.

The man next to him also remembered who Chen Yang was, his expression changed at this moment, and he was glad that he was still alive and was not beheaded like Yan Liang.

However, Chen Yang belongs to Cao Cao, how could he appear in Yuan Shao's territory?

Chen Yang glanced at the man, and said again: "It's okay to let him go, I'll give you a chance to surrender to me, how about it?"

Zhang Yan was stunned for a while, not knowing how to respond to Chen Yang's words.

"If you don't surrender, I will have to kill you all!" Chen Yang waved his hand.

Hearing this order, the soldiers around him immediately raised their weapons.

"Wait a minute, I promise to surrender, and I ask the general not to do anything!"

Seeing Chen Yang's military appearance, Zhang Yan was full of murderous aura.

On the contrary, when he saw his side again, it was a mess, where is the opponent?

To fight forcibly is to die. If he can live by surrendering, of course he surrenders, because he doesn't want to die yet.

What's more, they also have a common enemy, that is Yuan Shao. Instead of being a bandit all the time, it is better to take refuge in Cao Cao, just like surrendering to the court.

Now Cao Cao is still the chancellor of the Han Dynasty, and behind him is the entire Han Dynasty. It seems that he has a future if he surrenders, and he can get rid of his status as a bandit.

"Let him go."

Chen Yang looked away from Zhang Yan, and said again: "I'll give you half an hour. After you and your father and son are sorted out, come to my barracks to find me together."

After all, he ordered the entire army to retreat.

Seeing this, Zhang Yan was finally relieved.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Yan took his son Zhang Fang into the barracks and stood in front of Chen Yang.

After learning of Chen Yang's identity, Zhang Yan and his son had no intention of resisting.

"You Black Mountain Army are from the Yellow Turban Army, so how much do you know about Taiping Dao?" Chen Yang asked.

"General, are you here for the Peaceful Way?"

Zhang Yan thought about many possibilities for Chen Yang, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

"I only know that Taiping Dao originated from Julu..."

At this point, Zhang Yan paused for a moment, and then asked in surprise, "General, are you going to Julu this time?"

It was less than two days away from here to Julu, so it was normal for him to guess that.

"Do you know that there is an old man in the Taiping Road. He is very powerful. Even if Lu Bu is still alive, he is not his opponent. Who is this person?" Chen Yang did not answer, but asked rhetorically.

"There shouldn't be such a person in Taiping Dao."

Zhang Yan thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "Back then, the most powerful member of the Yellow Turban Army was Zhang Jiao, the great virtuous teacher, but he is dead, and the Yellow Turban Army was also disintegrated."

"If there really is someone stronger than Lu Bu, I wouldn't be ignorant of it... However, there may be someone who is hiding something so that no one can find out."

Based on his understanding of Taiping Dao, he didn't know there were such people.

"However, I met such a person."

Chen Yang briefly told him about the old man.

Zhang Yan still shook her head and said, "It may be someone I have never heard of. The Taiping Dao was also very mysterious back then."

Chen Yang asked again: "If I want to find that old man in Julu, how likely is it to find him?"

Zhang Yan thought for a while, and said: "If the general came to Julu for the Taiping Road, I might know where you want to go, and maybe I can find that master."

"where?"

Chen Yang asked.

"Twenty miles outside Julu City, there is a Taiping Village, where Zhang Jiao first preached and taught the Taiping Sutra."

Zhang Yan said: "As the Yellow Turban Army was defeated, people in Taiping Road were also massacred, but most of them who managed to escape hid in that Taiping Village. They have already hidden their names and no longer care about outside affairs."

"Taiping Dao and the Yellow Turban Army actually have a big difference. The former is to pass on the Tao of Huang Lao, while the latter is led by Zhang Jue to rebel against the imperial court. Although both were founded by Zhang Jue, they are fundamentally different. "

Therefore, the Taoists of Taiping Dao finally chose to live in seclusion.

The rebels of the Yellow Turban Army are either continuing to be bandits, or occupying land as kings, hoping to carve out a piece of their own territory in this chaotic world.

Chen Yang knew something about it, and asked again: "Are you sure that the old man is in Taiping Village?"

"My subordinates are not sure. If you want to know who he is, General, maybe someone in Taiping Village knows him." Zhang Yan said.

"Okay, let's go to Taiping Village now." Chen Yang nodded.

At this time, Chen Yang finally had a clue.

He felt lucky to meddle in his own business and met Zhang Yan and his son just now.

Otherwise, even in Julu, Chen Yang still doesn't know how to find clues about Taipingdao.

After rectifying, Chen Yang and the others set off again, heading north.

-

In the north, in a remote and relatively ordinary village.

Many villagers returned home from the fields after a busy day's work, but most of these villagers were elderly and middle-aged.

Among them, not even a young man could be seen.

There are no women and children.

A hunchbacked old man put down his farming tools and walked into an ordinary wooden house.

"Old Zhang, it's not right!"

In the room, there was also an old man with white hair. He was holding a tortoise shell in his hand, with a few coins on the table, and his brows were slightly frowned.

The hunchbacked old man named Lao Zhang asked: "Why are you tossing about these things again? Didn't you agree that you won't touch the art of peace again!"

"We preach, but we are misled by the Tao, and we can never let go of the Tao."

The white-haired old man shook his head, then looked at the coins, and said: "It seems auspicious but not auspicious, it seems fierce and not fierce, and the hexagrams are a bit messy. In a few days, we will have another visitor from Taiping Village, but the visitor's Fate is like destiny."

After a long time, Lao Zhang said solemnly: "This is a secret, but also a variable. We have been here for so many years, and no outsider can come. I am afraid that if he comes, it will be evil and cause us trouble."

"After the accident that year, we lived in seclusion here until now. Could it be that we can no longer live in seclusion?"

Old Zhang looked very worried.

"It's a good teacher!"

The white-haired old man said again: "We were founded by a good teacher, and our tranquility was also broken by the good teacher. It was like this back then, and it is still the same now. Those people were provoked by the good teacher."

"It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a disaster that can't be avoided, that's all!"
