Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 80 Zhang Jiao
Chapter 80
At the corner of the main street of Guangzong City, there is a unique small courtyard. Although it is not taller than the residences of those yellow turban generals, it is very elegant. It's just that this elegant courtyard is incompatible with the current chaotic situation of the Han Dynasty.

"Ling'er, the layout here doesn't seem to be suitable for big men like us."

Looking at the courtyard in front of him that smelled like powder, Lu Bu frowned slightly and questioned Zhang Linger.

"Hehe, Brother Lu Bu, did you see it? This is where I lived, so I'll let Brother Lu Bu live here now."

Zhang Ling'er smiled mischievously, made a very magnanimous look, and continued:
"There is no way around this. There are too many people in Guangzong City now. Our Yellow Turban Army alone has tens of thousands of people. Many generals brought by my second uncle can only make do in the barracks. Are you Naturally, the guests I invite can only stay here with me."

Zhang Linger showed a very helpless expression, but looking at Zhang Linger's eyes, Lu Bu felt that something was wrong.However, Lu Bu didn't care about living there. He was a big man and he was afraid that Zhang Ling'er would kill him.

That night, Zhang Linger asked Lu Bu to meet Zhang Jiao.

Zhang Ling'er brought Lu Bu to a large mansion in Guangzong City, Zhang Jiao lived in this mansion, but he did not live in the prefect's mansion.

Accompanied by Zhang Ling'er, Lü Bu entered the courtyard without any obstacles. However, Lü Bu looked around and saw many places in the courtyard gleaming with cold lights, obviously ambushing people.

Lu Bu followed Zhang Linger through three courtyards, and finally came to a Taoist-like building, and stopped. Lu Bu didn't find any hidden people here, but the two people who came out to greet Lu Bu and Zhang Linger were actually Lu Bu was a little surprised.

I saw two people in bright yellow Taoist robes walking over and clapping their hands together towards Zhang Ling'er.

"His Royal Highness, you are here, General Tiangong is waiting for you."

Afterwards, these two people retreated to the two sides and followed behind Zhang Linger.

"Brother Lu Bu, let's go in and see Daddy."

Zhang Linger didn't care about the actions of those two people, she was obviously used to it, she just turned her head and said something to Lu Bu, but as soon as Zhang Linger said this, she realized that her words were a bit fallacious, so she quickly changed her words:
"My dad is inside, let's go in quickly. Don't tell him to wait."

At this time, Zhang Linger's face was already blushing.

"Okay, let's go in."

Lu Budao didn't say anything. In fact, Lu Bu also had a good impression of Zhang Linger, but the time was not yet ripe. Now Lu Bu's status is too low, and Zhang Linger's status is too high. Two people come and go.

Lu Bu and Zhang Ling'er came to the door of a study room, just in time to see Zhang Jiao coming out to greet him. At this time, Zhang Jiao was also dressed in a Taoist robe, with kind eyebrows, kind eyes, and immortal demeanor, giving people the feeling of an outdoor master.

If such a person was met outside, Lu Bu would definitely not associate him with the Yellow Turban, and would only think that he was a master who had lived in seclusion for many years, but now Lu Bu really knew that this person in front of him was the leader of the Yellow Turban Uprising The supreme leader, Zhang Jiao, the spiritual leader of millions of Yellow Turban followers.

"Hehehe, it's great that my Ling'er is back. These days, you have suffered a lot outside, and now the war is in chaos. It's really not suitable for a little girl like you to run around."

Zhang Jiao was in a great mood when he saw Zhang Ling'er, but there was an unconcealable tenderness between his brows, probably because blood is thicker than water.

"Daddy, I have brought you a distinguished guest this time, and he has made great contributions to our Yellow Turbans."

Zhang Ling'er quickly introduced Lu Bu to Zhang Jiao, with even more pride in her eyes.

"Young Lu Bu, I have met General Tiangong."

Seeing Zhang Linger introduce himself, Lu Bu hurriedly greeted Zhang Jiao as a junior.

It's just that the word junior is very intriguing. What is a junior?For example, two people of the same path, one achieves earlier, is the senior, and the other achieves later, is the junior.Lu Bu said that he is Zhang Jiao's junior, which means that Lu Bu also has the ambition of not being a minister, and will overthrow the big man in the future, but this junior is different from his subordinates, and he is called an inferior.In this way, Lu Bu showed that although he had the will to overthrow the big man, he would not be inferior to Zhang Jiao.

Zhang Jiao is so shrewd, how could he fail to understand the meaning of Lu Bu's words, he just pondered for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"Okay, young people really have ambitions. I just like young people like you. There are talents from every generation in the country, and the princes and generals have kindness? 300 years in Hedong, 300 years in Hexi, the world of this big man is already full of three hundred It is indeed time to change the master."

Zhang Jiao laughed, and the beard on the corner of his mouth trembled, showing great pride.

"I don't know what General Tiangong thinks, who can replace the big man to own this beautiful river and mountain?"

Seeing Zhang Jiao laughing, Lu Bu took the opportunity to ask.

Hearing Lu Bu's question, Zhang Ling'er frowned slightly, obviously Zhang Ling'er did not expect that Lu Bu would ask such a straightforward question.

"Daddy, let's go in and talk. This is not a place to talk. I don't want others to say that my daddy can't entertain guests."

Zhang Linger said in a whimpering voice.Zhang Linger's words are very clear. One is to change the topic, and the other is to remind her father to treat guests with sincerity. Zhang Jiao must have held the power for a long time. If one accidentally fell out with Lu Bu, it would be bad.Of course, what Zhang Linger said was also reminding Lu Bu to be careful when speaking.

"Hahaha, Ling'er is right, let's go in and talk."

Zhang Jiao glanced at Zhang Ling'er and laughed, but he pretended he didn't hear Lu Bu's question.

Lu Bu didn't press the question, there must be some things that can't be said too much, too much is too much.In fact, Lu Bu came to see Zhang Jiao today with a very important purpose, that is, Lu Bu hoped to persuade Zhang Jiao to withdraw from the struggle for world hegemony.The reason why Lu Bu wanted Zhang Jiao to withdraw from the struggle for world hegemony was because Lu Bu knew deeply that one of the important reasons why the Han people were weak and bullied by foreigners after the Han Dynasty was that the Han people were seriously injured at the end of the Han Dynasty, and the Yellow Turban Uprising was undoubtedly It was the worst time to hurt the vitality of the Han people.

More importantly, those who died in the Yellow Turban Uprising were all forced peasants, and these people were the foundation of the Han nation. If the duty of soldiers is to kill the enemy, then killing ordinary people who are unable to resist It is the greatest tragedy of soldiers.Lu Bu wanted to save the Han people who died in the Yellow Turban Uprising, and it was impossible to ask the officers and soldiers to be merciful, so he could only hope that Zhang Jiao would withdraw from the struggle for hegemony.

Lu Bu followed Zhang Jiao and Zhang Ling'er to the inner hall, the three sat down as guests and hosts, and the servants served tea. Lu Bu took a sip from the teacup and put it down.

"General Tiangong, please ask General Tiangong to enlighten me on the junior's questions."

Lu Bu's words were unexpected by Zhang Jiao and Zhang Ling'er. They didn't expect that Lu Bu would be so ungrateful, but Zhang Jiao didn't seem to be angry.

"I heard from Zhang Liang that you helped them a lot in Yingchuan this time, defeating Huangfusong and Zhu Jun?"

Zhang Jiao picked up the tea bowl and said leisurely.

"That's right, Brother Lu Bu is amazing. He even saved my life when I was in Chenliu."

Before Lu Bu could answer, Zhang Ling'er spoke first, and reported Lu Bu's kindness in saving her life. Although Zhang Ling'er had left behind that time, even if Lu Bu didn't make a move, Zhang Ling'er could solve it by herself.

"Ling'er, this friend you brought is very interesting, I want to have a good chat with him, you go down first."

Zhang Jiao took a look at Zhang Linger and said suddenly, seeing Zhang Linger's flustered expression, he quickly added:
"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for your friend."

"Ling'er, don't worry, your father just wants to talk about things between men, nothing will happen."

Lu Bu nodded to Zhang Linger, signaling her not to worry.

When Zhang Ling'er backed out, Zhang Jiao's expression turned cold.

"Why do you think my Yellow Turban Army can't win the world?"

Zhang Jiao said something coldly.In fact, at the beginning, Zhang Jiao spread the purpose of the Yellow Turban, to heal the sick and save the sick, just to save the dying and heal the wounded, but later, when Zhang Jiao experienced the pleasure brought to him by power, his greed suddenly arose, and he had the ambition to dominate the world .It happened to coincide with the decline of the Han Dynasty, the sluggish government, internal and external troubles, Zhang Jiao's disobedience, and then he began to brew the Yellow Turban Uprising in an attempt to seize the world.

Later, when Zhang Jiao learned that Tang Zhou had informed him and the matter was exposed, Zhang Jiao really regretted it, but the matter was urgent, and Zhang Jiao had no choice but to revolt hastily in order to survive.But these days, Zhang Jiao is also asking himself, is what he is doing really right?Seeing the familiar Yellow Turban soldiers fall one by one, Zhang Jiao felt extremely heartbroken, so he built this Taoist temple in Guangzong City to pray for the dead Yellow Turban heroes.

It was precisely because Zhang Jiao didn't want to see the Yellow Turban soldiers die unexpectedly, so under repeated threats from Lu Zhide, he led 15 Yellow Turbans to defend Guangzong. How can it be done without chipping a few front teeth.

"Dare to ask General Tiangong, who is stronger and who is weaker than the officers and soldiers of the Yellow Turban?" Lu Bu did not answer Zhang Jiao's question, but asked back.

"Naturally, the officers and soldiers are slightly stronger." Zhang Jiao frowned, and said such a sentence, obviously insincere. Everyone knows the combat power of the officers and soldiers, and it is not 01:30 that is stronger than the yellow scarf soldiers.The officers and soldiers were well-trained soldiers, while the Yellow Turbans were just farmers who had just thrown away their hoes. Some of the Yellow Turbans didn’t even throw away their hoes.

"Then I would like to ask General Tiangong, how is your ability in commanding battles, making decisions in the face of the enemy, and arranging troops compared to Lu Zhi?"

Lu Bu didn't care about Zhang Jiao's insincere words at all, but continued to ask.

"Yes, I am not as good as Lu Zhi when it comes to fighting, but I have more than a million followers of the Yellow Turban, and even one mouthful of saliva can drown Lu Zhi and his 7 horses." Zhang Jiao knew that his combat command was not as good as Lu Zhi's. , and immediately found out the reason for the large number of Yellow Turbans.

"That's right, the followers of the Yellow Turbans are all over the world, and General Tiangong ascended the heights, and the whole world responded. It is indeed magnificent. However, although there are many Yellow Turbans, they are not many compared with the people under the imperial court. The soldiers and horses of the imperial court come from the common people. Yellow Turban soldiers and horses come from believers, but although there are many generals and believers, they are not as numerous as the people of the world."
