After Zhang Jiao died, he handed over the power to command the Yellow Turban soldiers to Zhang Liang. Regarding his younger brother, Zhang Jiao also knew that he had no talent and was a mediocre person, but he had no choice. He had no good candidates. No matter what, Zhang Liang was also his younger brother. Moreover, Zhang Liang led the soldiers to have many battles with the Han army. I believe that led by Zhang Liang, the Yellow Turban Army could go further.

In fact, Zhang Jiao's original intention was to pass it on to his daughter Zhang Ning. Zhang Ning was knowledgeable, smart, and extremely strategic. Zhang Jiao loved her deeply, but she was just a daughter. In the feudal era where the concept was deeply rooted, Zhang Jiao could not give the important task of leading the Yellow Turban soldiers to his daughter. He could not lead the Yellow Turbans to achieve great things, so he could only hand over such great things to his younger brother Zhang Liang.

Zhang Jiao was not at ease with his younger brother Zhang Liang. When he was seriously ill, he called Zhang Yan to his side and stopped Zhang Yan, who was about to salute. He pulled Zhang Yan's sign language and said earnestly: "There is still not many days left for the teacher. Only my daughter Ning'er is worried about my teacher. As a teacher, he is afraid that Zhang Liang will not succeed in the future. He can only entrust his daughter to you. I hope you can treat her well. If Zhang Liang can assist you, then you will lead Ning'er away from Guangzong."

Zhang Yan cried and said, "Mr., you will definitely get better!"

Zhang Jiao waved his hand hard and said, "I understand my own body. You must promise me that you are my most proud disciple. You have been dedicated to Taiping Sect throughout your life and have not fulfilled the responsibilities that a father should fulfill. I hope you can take good care of Ning'er for your teacher."

Zhang Yan knelt in front of Zhang Jiao's bed and said, "The disciple must keep in mind the words of his mentor and take good care of Ning'er. If he violates this oath, he will be struck by lightning."

Hearing Zhang Yan's words, Zhang Jiao breathed a sigh of relief and called Zhang Yan to come and said, "Yan'er, after this uprising, my master also understood that the Han Dynasty's energy has not been exhausted. It's a pity that so many believers follow me. If the Taiping Cult is defeated, you must retain the spark of our Taiping Cult and cannot let the Taiping Cult be cut off. Do you understand?"

Zhang Yan nodded firmly.

Zhang Jiao is a hero of a generation, so naturally he would not think that his subordinates would listen to him so obediently. Before he was about to die, he summoned all the Yellow Turban generals and asked them to swear that as long as Zhang Liang was still there for a day, they would all be loyal. Not only that, he also ordered his favorite disciple Zhang Yan to assist Zhang Liang. If he found that there was an illegal Yellow Turban Army, he could kill first and then report, Zhang Yan immediately became the second in command of the Yellow Turban Army.

This move not only made Zhang Yan return home, but also made the other Yellow Turban Army afraid to make any changes. Zhang Yan's bravery was famous among the Yellow Turban Army and had great martial arts skills. Few people dared to provoke him. There was originally a Zhang Mancheng who could compete with him, but unfortunately he was killed by Nanyang prefect Qin Jie on the battlefield in Nanyang.

Zhang Jiao only had one daughter, Zhang Ning, who stayed in the world, and also entrusted her to take care of her younger brother Zhang Liang, and then died.

On the day Zhang Jiao died, the three Yellow Turban Army soldiers cried. The reason why so many people followed this uprising was entirely because of Zhang Jiao's appeal. Zhang Jiao is the pillar of all the Yellow Turban Army, which is indispensable. Now that Zhang Jiao died before he could succeed, many Yellow Turban soldiers were shaken in their hearts; Zhang Jiao has always existed like a god in their hearts. In their eyes, Zhang Jiao is an immortal, but now this immortal is dead. The Yellow Turban soldiers can't help but have doubts about their beliefs, and the morale of the Yellow Turban Army has dropped to the lowest point.

However, Zhang Liang did not realize the current situation of the Yellow Turban Army. After burying his brother Zhang Jiao, Zhang Liang was addicted to singing and dancing all day long. Zhang Liang was already afraid of confronting the Han army. He was beaten by the Han army all the way to Guangzong, and he knew the power of the Han army.

At this time, several generals under his command came to persuade Zhang Liang to lead his army to fight against the Han army several times and increase the current sluggish morale of the Yellow Turban Army, so Zhang Liang naturally disagreed.

These generals were Zhang Jiao's confidants during his lifetime. Whether they were leading the army or commanding the soldiers, they were good generals and the mainstay of Zhang Jiao's army.

When Zhang Liang first ascended the high position, he had his hands coming to give him a point. He would definitely not be able to hold back his face and naturally felt very unhappy. In addition, he did not want to fight with the Han army, so he frowned and thought about it. The reason why these generals dared to advise him like this was simply because he was a general under Zhang Jiao before, and he had just ascended the throne. At this time, he took the opportunity to kill the chicken to warn the monkey and establish his authority in the army. Let's see who dares to point in front of him in the future.

He did it right away, and Zhang Liang shouted: "Oh, you rebel ministers, you dare to make trouble. Come on, pull them out and behead me."

The poor Yellow Turban generals were beheaded by Zhang Liang for no reason, and they died unjustly.

When Zhang Yan heard the news, the generals had been beheaded. Seeing the robes of the past, Zhang Yan couldn't help but wet her eyes.

When Zhang Yan asked why Zhang Liang beheaded these generals, Zhang Liang just stammered and said that these generals were unfaithful to him.

Faced with such a situation, Zhang Yan could only call the sky alone. Zhang Yan has heard of these things since Zhang Liang took over the power, but he has been busy with Zhang Jiao's funeral recently and has not had time to dissuade Zhang Liang, which has caused the current situation. Poor that these Yellow Turban generals are all talents under Zhang Jiao before. They did not die at the hands of the enemy, but died cowardly under Zhang Liang's sword.

For a moment, Zhang Yan began to wonder if Zhang Jiao's decision was correct. Can the Yellow Turbans really overthrow the great man? Can the people really live a good life? Can Zhang Liang lead the Yellow Turban soldiers succeed?

This news spread to the Han military camp that day. Huangfu Song knew that the day of his counterattack was coming, and the next day he personally led his soldiers to attack Guangzong.

The incident of Zhang Liang killing those generals spread wildly in Guangzong City. Almost all the Yellow Turban soldiers knew about this. Originally, Zhang Jiao's death was a bolt from the blue for the Yellow Turban soldiers, and their morale was not high. Unexpectedly, this happened again, and the morale of all the Yellow Turban soldiers plummeted, and many Yellow Turban soldiers were preparing to escape.

Suddenly, the sound of rumbling war drums came from outside the city, and the shouts of killing came to the city. All the Yellow Turban soldiers knew that the Han army had been silent for a long time had come to attack the city. At this time, these Yellow Turban soldiers still had the heart to defend the city, thinking about how to save their lives.

Zhang Liang, who was drinking and having fun in Guangzong City, heard the sound of war drums outside the city and shouted, and hurriedly summoned the guards to ask what was going on.

The guard replied respectfully: "Report to General, it was the Han army who attacked the city!"

Zhang Liang was so scared that he was sweating coldly, and hurriedly ordered: "Call the generals from all walks of life to discuss military affairs, hurry up, hurry up!" Zhang Liang kept urging the guard.

The guards did not dare to neglect and hurried to convey Zhang Liang's orders.

Although Zhang Liang's actions before disappointed all the soldiers, Zhang Liang was the leader of the Yellow Turbans designated by Zhang Jiao after all. After all, the Han army attacked the city, and the generals did not dare to neglect them and rushed to Zhang Liang's residence.

Seeing that the generals arrived, Zhang Liang hurriedly asked for help from the generals and said, "The Han army attacked the city, please teach me how to do it?" His words were extremely earnest.

The generals were despised and were extremely disgusted with Zhang Liang's harshness and cowardice.

As the minister of the orphanage, Zhang Yan offered advice: "Now that the Han army is about to attack the city, the general should immediately rush to the city tower and command the soldiers to fight with the Han army. The Han army is weak and will retreat soon."

After hearing Zhang Yan's words, Zhang Liang immediately turned into a bitter face. From the heart, he was a hundred people who were unwilling to go up to the city wall and had no eyes. It was not worth it if he was accidentally injured. In his heart, he thought he was a general and a commander, so how could he go to the battlefield?

With a frown, Zhang Liang thought about it and said, "Zhang Yan obeyed the order. Now I am feeling unwell. I ordered you to rush to the city wall to command the soldiers to fight with the Han army. You can only win but not lose. Don't be negligent. Go quickly."

Zhang Yan naturally heard the meaning of Zhang Liang's words, and he reluctantly clasped his fists and replied: "Zhang Yan got the order!" After that, Zhang Yan ran straight towards the city wall.

The generals followed Zhang Yan to the city wall without Zhang Liang's order. Zhang Liang, who was trapped in the panic of the Han army's siege, did not care so much.

After this incident, the generals' contempt for Zhang Liang was even greater. How could the general who dared not go to the battlefield win the love of these Yellow Turban generals? He was even more disgusting to Zhang Liang's actions. If it weren't for his swearing in front of Zhang Jiao, how could he work for Zhang Liang like this?

Zhang Liang didn't understand Zhang Yan's painstaking efforts. Zhang Yan's meaning was nothing more than letting Zhang Liang go up to the city wall to regain some morale and increase Zhang Liang's prestige in the minds of soldiers.

The Han army still failed to capture Guangzong City, which had a large number of people. Even if the morale of the Yellow Turban Army was low, the number was still there. It was not easy for the Han army to attack, and they could only return without success again.

Guangzong City was preserved, but morale dropped more than just one step. When Zhang Jiao was alive, he loved soldiers and every time there was a war, he would personally go to the city wall to command the soldiers to fight. What Zhang Jiao did not expect was that Zhang Liang had fought with the Han army for so long, but his courage became smaller and smaller.

Zhang Liang was completely afraid of the Han army. If his soldiers had not rescued him, he might have died under the swords and guns of the Han army and was very afraid of the Han army. After hearing the news of the Han army's retreat, Zhang Liang immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to eat, drink and have fun as usual, without caring about the war outside the city at all.

Late at night, many Yellow Turban soldiers packed their bags, quietly left Guangzong City, and fled in all directions.

After hearing the soldiers reported the news, Zhang Yan did not dare to neglect it. He immediately got up and picked up the weapons at hand and rushed to the city gate. As a general, Zhang Yan had long developed the good habit of not sleeping without weapons during the battle.
