The Louguan Incident has ended, and Zhang Bao has become the biggest loser.
Not long after he took up the position of great virtuous teacher, he was dragged into the military mansion by Zuo Zhangba in embarrassment. After that, he was placed under house arrest in a separate palace.
As for Zuo Beard Zhangba himself, he took advantage of the great victory and the surge of blood to occupy the main hall and enjoy the treatment of a victor.
Dozens of Zhao Guoqi, who were raised by the military government, danced fearfully among the swords and guns, embodying the excitement of the Eighth Army's victory.
The happy Zuo Zhangba did not forget the promise he made to the soldiers just before the battle. He opened the Taiping Road treasury and began to reward the meritorious soldiers in the mutiny.
He did not stipulate who could take how much, but told everyone arrogantly that whatever you can take is yours.
I don’t know how many people were stimulated by this order. I don’t know how many people were willing to bend their backs just to take away one more piece of cloth.
That night, a grand banquet was held in the military mansion to reward meritorious service, and there was singing and dancing all night long.
There is a saying that Zuo Beard Zhang Ba did a much more open job than Zhang Bao, at least he was really willing to give. The Yellow Turban Army at the bottom doesn't care what you do above, it's just to see who can give benefits. So Zuo Beard Zhang Ba
This wave of money dispersion really stabilized the team.
But even if you are stable, you can only be stable by spreading money for a while. If you try to use this trick next time, it will not work. Because people will think that they have earned it based on their own skills. If you give less,
They still have to come armed to ask for it.
So Zuo Zhaozhangba can't slack off, at least not yet.
He didn't have any capable confidants to help him participate in the painting, so he relied on instinct and discussions with everyone to do many things.
For example, regarding the captured Digong General Zhang Bao, everyone's consensus after discussion was that it would be better to kill him. After all, the city is uncertain, and who knows if there are people who are ambitious enough to start a rebellion in the name of rescuing Zhang Bao.
So the next day, Zuo Zhangba opened several pink arms and walked to the side hall with determination.
Here, Zhang Bao had not had any water or rice for a day, and he looked miserable. At this moment, when he saw Zuo Beard Zhangba coming in aggressively, he lowered his head and shouted:
"Why is the Holy Lord here?"
Zuo Zhangba was stunned when he heard this, and it took him a long time to realize that he was talking about himself. He pointed at himself, then at Zhang Bao, and laughed loudly at his confidants:
"Who knew that our Earthly General was such a thing? Afraid of death? Just be afraid of death."
In fact, Zhang Bao is not that unbearable. But sometimes it is just a matter of thought.
If he was defeated and the city was destroyed, he would just commit suicide and there would be no need to think too much about it. But once he was imprisoned here and thought about it for a night, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he should not die.
So after seeing Zuo Zhuzhangba come in, he shouted these words in the excitement.
Zuo Zhangba's ridicule towards Zhang Bao made him blush extremely, but he also knew that this was not a time of arrogance, so he flattered Zuo Zhangba with a smile on his face:
"General Zuo is not a mortal. He should be my son, Huang Tian. I don't think this great sage and mentor is enough. He must be the Holy Master to show General Zuo's divine gift."
In fact, Zhang Bao was telling the truth. He knew that his talents were mediocre and he could no longer pursue the idea of Taiping Dao, so he might as well use the crown on his head to save Gou Quan's life in troubled times.
In fact, Zhang Bao's words are very touching. In the final analysis, with Zhang Bao taking the initiative to abdicate, it will be easier for Zuo Beard Zhangba to receive the Taiping Dao inheritance, so Zuo Beard Zhangba is probably
Have to agree.
But unfortunately, he overestimated Zuo Beard Zhangba's political wisdom. In fact, he didn't understand it at all. Anyway, for Zuo Beard Zhangba, killing Zhang Bao was because he was afraid of long nights and dreams.
So in order to sleep peacefully, Zhang Bao might as well die.
But Zuo Beard Zhangba also knew that he should not take action here, so he said to Zhang Bao:
"For the sake of General Tian Gong, I will give you a way to survive. I will send you out of the house, and you can live an ordinary life."
Zhang Bao nodded hurriedly and breathed a sigh of relief secretly.
But when Zhang Bao was about to leave the military mansion with his wife, his wife was crying, saying that leaving the mansion would lead to death.
The crying made Zhang Bao panic and annoyed Zuo Zhangba, so he immediately asked the guards to escort the two of them and take them to a mansion outside the military mansion.
This mansion was directly monitored closely by people sent by Zuo Beard Zhangba, and it could be said that there were layers of defenses.
After initially clearing up Zhang Bao's problem, Zuo Beard Zhangba once again discussed with his clan brother Zuo Xiao who should inherit the position of the Lord of Taiping Dao.
The meaning of Zuo Xiao is very simple, that is, we will not stop doing anything. Now that we have clearly declared the mutiny, what will the brothers who do not sit in that position and let them do big things think? Will they think that you don't have the guts to sit?
So just cut it off without any hesitation.
What Zuo Xiao said makes sense, but things cannot be done this way. Zuo Zhangba is more sober than his own clan brothers, which means that his prestige is nothing at all in Taiping Dao.
Let's not talk about the Yellow Turbans outside Hebei, such as Qingzhou, Bingzhou and other Yellow Turbans. As for the Yellow Turbans in Guangzong and Anping, only 30% of the troops can be influenced by Zuo Zhaozhangba.
But don't think that these three levels are small. In other words, Zuo Beard Zhangba's strength is half of the other Yellow Turban Army leaders combined. No one can compete with Zuo Beard Zhangba alone.
Moreover, on this day, the military commanders in the city at eight o'clock, Zuo Beard Zhang, happened to discover that Guo Tai, that is, Guo Daxian was missing.
It is said that this person took advantage of the chaos in the city and ran away.
This Guo Tai was no ordinary Qushuai. He was the most powerful Qushuai in Bingzhou. He had crossed the Taihang Mountains to join Guangzong at the invitation of the General Dao.
From this point of view, Guo Tai is a much better person than Zhang Chongzhong.
Now that Guo Tai has run away, Zuo Beard Zhangba lacks a hand that can control the Bingzhou Yellow Turban, so Zuo Beard Zhangba dare not usurp the throne directly.
Then he remembered the excuse for the previous uprising, which was the two posthumous sons of General Zhang Jiao. He thought for a while that he would give it up as soon as the general election was over, and hold the two posthumous sons up first, and then the real power would still be in his own hands.
.
But Xiao Zuo was confused and said:
"Those two are in the belly. I don't know whether they are alive or dead, male or female. How can I be promoted to the top?"
Who knows that Zuo Beard Zhangba cursed:
"Are you so rigid? Don't you know how to randomly find a child from the city? Who do I care if it's a real one?"
Good guy, Zuo Beard stopped pretending and started calling Zhang Jiao by his first name.
After receiving instructions from Zuo Zhangba, Zuo Xiao began to secretly search for a newborn baby boy in the city, and soon found one from Zhou Zheng.
So, in the afternoon of the same day, Zuo Beard Zhangba sent all the ceremonial guards and utensils of the great virtuous master into the mansion, indicating that the throne has been inherited by our great virtuous master's son, the young master.
Then that night, Zhang Bao and his wife died violently in the house, and they did not live another night.
The person in charge of dealing with Zhang Bao was Chu Feiyan, because Zuo Zhangba found that this man was really a good knife and he was particularly good at doing this.
Everything was running according to Zuo Zhuzhangba's plan. After learning that the great virtuous master's posthumous son was established, the generals in charge of the Anping Kingdom and Qinghe front lines all sent expressions of willingness to obey Guangzong's side.
manage.
Just when Zuo Beard Zhangba was proudly thinking that he was still a good player in politics, an unexpected incident happened that he had never expected.
What happened was that Guo Tai escaped from Guangzong.
Contrary to what Zuo Zhuzhangba expected, Guo Tai did not secretly return to Baibo Valley in Bingzhou, but went directly to Julu, where the Guan Yu Zuo Military Academy of the Taishan Army was stationed.
When the dusty Guo Tai appeared in Guan Yu's military tent and told Guan Yu everything that happened in Guangzong City, Guan Yu understood that an important opportunity was placed in front of him.
However, Guan Yu did not dare to make the decision. He first asked Guo Tai to rest in his tent, and then ordered Dian Wei to return to Handan in person with his troops and report the military report to his commander Zhang Chong.
Time passes very quickly.
Zhang Jiao died on May 17th and was buried on May 20th. Zhang Chong learned about Zhang Jiao's death on May 21st. But by May 23rd, Zhang Chong learned about the news of Zhang Jiao's death in Guangzong City.
A series of things happened.
When Dian Wei brought this news, he said that Guan Yu also believed that this was the best opportunity to solve the problem of the Yellow Turban Army once and for all.
Zhang Chong couldn't bear it any longer and hurriedly sent out a letter to all the five captains to come to Handan to discuss the matter.
In the end, everyone unanimously decided that it was time for the Taishan Army to take up the banner and kill Zuo Beard Zhangba, who was responsible for the military rebellion.
In this way, Zhang Chong decided to fight quickly. He led the six battalions of assault cavalry from Handan and took over the Guan Yu tribe closest to Guangzong first. Then Zhang Dan of Zhao and Ding Sheng of Wei Jun came from the other two groups.
Advance to Guangzong.
They met at the foot of Guangzong City.
Regarding this, Zuo Beard Zhangba, who had no source of information for a long time in Guangzong City, knew nothing about it.
At this time, he was having a headache about how to deal with Zhang Bao's death.
Although Zuo Zhuzhangba despised Zhang Bao, and even though this man died in his hands, Zuo Zhuzhangba still had to deal with Zhang Bao's affairs well even if he was just pretending.
However, Zuo Zhangba had a fierce conflict with a group of military leaders regarding the treatment of Zhang Bao's death.
According to the views of Zhang Baiqi, Zhang Leigong, Yu Du, Bai Rao, Sui Gu and other military leaders, Zhang Bao was after all a great and virtuous teacher and should be buried with the same treatment as Master Zhang.
More or less, these people couldn't bear to see the second son of the Zhang family end up like this, not to mention that this was their first time to join forces to test the bottom line of Zuo Beard Zhangba.
Zuo Beard Zhangba did not know that these people were trying to test him, but even so, he would never tolerate Zhang Bao being buried as a great virtuous teacher. In that case, Zuo Bearded Zhangba would really be a traitor and traitor
Already?
So Zhang Bao, the beard of Zuo, was furious at the military palace, saying that Zhang Bao deceived his brother, stole his sister-in-law, and usurped the throne. It was a mercy not to execute Zhang Bao without delay. How could he dare to be buried with the honor of a great virtuous teacher?
Therefore, Zuo Beard Zhangba insisted on expelling Zhang Bao as a monk and ending the matter as a commoner. This shows that Zuo Beard Zhangba's rebellion was motivated by public conscience and righteousness.
At this time, Zuo Beard Zhangba was no longer just the leader of the Yellow Turban Cavalry Army left behind by Guangzong, he had transformed into an auxiliary Taoist Grand Master.
The so-called Grand Master naturally means that his left beard is the teacher of our Young Master. He is truly inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
Of course, in Zuo Zhuzhangba's heart, he is not inferior to one person, but truly superior to everyone.
So how could Zuo Beard Zhangba, who thought he had great power, tolerate the opinions of Zhang Baiqi and others? Lei Lei was furious.
Seeing that Zhang Baiqi dared to stab him in front of him, he drew out the sword from his waist and shouted angrily:
"Well, Zhang Baiqi, do you think the sword on my left beard is disadvantageous?"
Zhang Baiqi was also tough. Although he didn't have a sword in his hand, he still stiffened his neck and replied:
"You have a knife on your left beard, don't we have one?"
As soon as these words came out, Zuo Beard Zhangba narrowed his eyes and stopped talking.
Because there is a key point in this sentence, that is, Zhang Baiqi is talking about us. In other words, Zhang Baiqi is not alone, there are people behind him?
Who is that? How many are there?
Zuo Zhangba's eyes glanced at Yu Shigen, Liu Shi, Sili, and Cheng Zai who were standing opposite, and then glanced at Zhang Lei Gong, Yu Du, Bai Rao, and Sui Gu, who more or less supported Zhang Bai.
The rider is handsome.
Zuo Beard Zhangba was shocked and confused. The former were the foreign military faction stationed outside Guangzong City together with Zhang Baiqi. They were generally the former generals and some miscellaneous factions. During the military coup on the 21st, these people were all
Blocked outside the city, we can only wait for the final result.
But those behind him, such as Zhang Leigong, Yu Du, Bai Rao, and Sui Gu, were all from the Tiangong generals. If these people didn't stand behind his left beard, how could they support Zhang Baiqi?
Thinking of this, Zuo Zhangba's eyes became more and more fierce, and his eyes gradually showed malice. It was obvious that he was thinking about whether to chop these people into pieces now.
On the opposite side, Zhang Baiqi kept paying attention to his left beard and Zhang Ba, and when he started to look wrong, he immediately came out to make peace.
Although he was one of the wisest among the several commanders in the army, since General Ren Gong died under Julu City for no apparent reason, they, the generals of the Ren Gong clan, began to feel sad.
Both personnel replenishment and troop supply are the last round, so even if he joins forces with Yu Shigen, Liu Shi, Sili, Rong Zai, and Kushai, they are actually just holding together for warmth, and their strength cannot stop them at all.
Stop holding the left beard of an elite soldier for eight feet.
Not to mention that the only one with weapons in the hall at this moment was Zuo Shaozhangba.
After the grandson rebelled, he was not only treated as a man without hesitation, but also brought a knife into the palace. If Zuo Zhangba really went crazy at this moment, who could stop him?
So how could Zhang Baiqi, who is known as a wise man, put himself and others in danger? The tough words just now were enough to show his tough side. What he needs now is to show his softness.
So Zhang Baiqi came out of the queue with a smile, holding a five-baht coin in his hand, and said to his left beard:
"Since you and I each have our own opinions, why don't we leave the outcome to Huang Tian to decide? I will throw the copper coins now. If the seal is on the top, then I will bury General Digong with a grand ceremony. If it is on the bottom, then listen to the Grand Master."
Perhaps the last words of the Grand Master made Zuo Beard Zhangba happy, and the man nodded. Who knows, this man was just playing for fun, thinking that if it really didn't work out, he would kill Zhang Baiqi and his gang.
life.
Just as Zhang Baiqi threw the copper coins, a soldier from outside suddenly rushed in and said something shocking:
"The Taishan Army is coming to kill Guangzong."
After saying this, the whole place was silent for a moment, except for the sound of the copper coins rolling on the floor.
The copper coin rolled all the way and finally stopped at the feet of Zuo Zhaozhangba.
But Zuo Yanzhangba no longer had the intention to see the final result at this moment. He only had one thought in his mind:
