The letter in Zhang Chong's hand was sent by his senior brother Big Beard. The letter only said one thing:
"Tang Zhou accused Zhang Chong of three major crimes against his wise teacher at the Normal University, and wanted to deprive Zhang Chong of his teaching position in Taishan Canal."
The first crime of the Tang and Zhou dynasties against Zhang Chong was that he was not familiar with the meaning of the scriptures. It was said that Zhang Chong had never attended the lectures at Dongpingling Mausoleum for more than a year. How could such a brave and ruthless person behave like this?
The second crime against Zhang Chong: provocation without authorization. It is said that Zhang Chong fought with Feng Gao powerful men some time ago, which attracted the attention of nearby powerful men. Although they do not yet know that Zhang Chong is from Taiping Dao, in the long run, they will definitely
It will be exposed. As the year of Jiazi is getting closer and closer, Zhang Chong's actions will only expose Taiping Dao's grand plan.
The third crime against Zhang Chong is to divide the land. It is said that Zhang Chong frequently attacked the good families around him during this period, bad people's foundations, please foolish men, and invited names in the church to form cliques. It is really a wolf's ambition.
This is a crime within a crime, and it is also the real reason why Tang and Zhou no longer wanted to pretend, but directly broke up with each other. There were not only small people like Zhang Chong in Taiping Road, but more of the middle and upper classes were local tyrants. They joined Taiping Road to help each other.
, it was not for Zhang Chong to come and equalize their lands.
What Zhang Chong did in Licheng and Tugu counties directly aroused public outrage. With the help of Tang and Zhou Dynasties, they jointly reported Zhang Chong's three major crimes to the great virtuous master, and they were determined to capture him.
Ji Sun said in the letter that he should come to Dongpingling as soon as possible. The Taoist envoy from Hebei was coming soon. He asked him to make preparations in advance. The situation was not optimistic.
Zhang Chong was caught off guard by the news.
He felt that this matter was not simple, because he was a disciple of Ren Gong. It stands to reason that if Tang Zhou and others' guilt sheets were sent to Hebei, Zhang Liang would press them, because on that day when peach blossoms bloomed, he and Zhang Liang
This deer-headed strategy has been decided for a long time.
What Zhang Chong is doing now is based on this strategy, and Zhang Liang will not know it.
Although he was doubtful, Zhang Chong was not entangled. He immediately rushed to Dongpingling to deal with the Taoist envoy coming from Hebei.
At this moment, Zhang Chong's career had just started to improve. After more than a year of bloody battles, he finally took control of the northern part of Mount Tai. He also planned to continue to expand southward. Without the network of Taiping Road, how would he get the supplies for his subsequent southern expedition.
And more importantly, Taiping Dao also needs him. After being in this world for so long, Zhang Chong has seen through this damn world and knows that without him, the millions of poor people in Taiping Dao who are just trying to survive will only become powerful in the end.
of trophies.
You see, none of the heroes in the late Han Dynasty made their fortune by suppressing Taiping Dao. Cao Cao did the same, Sun Jian did the same, and Liu Bei did the same.
What's wrong with these small people in Guizhou? They even just want to eat millet so that their family members will no longer starve to death. But such a low desire has become a luxury in the brutal killings of the powerful.
If this is the case, then let’s roar back to the world’s powerful men:
"The hair is like a leek, it will grow back when cut; the head is like a chicken, it will crow again after being cut; officials need not be feared, but the common people should never be taken lightly."
Therefore, Zhang Chong also needs the Way of Peace. Without these millions of roarers, how can Zhang Chong's bonfire spread throughout the wasteland?
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Chong, who has always cultivated his energy, is so nervous.
As soon as Zhang Chong came back to Duman, he told him about the sacrifice of Sun Xinli.
Duman also realized the seriousness of the problem. This was the first time since Zhang Chong entered Taiping Dao that he had been accused of a collective crime within the church. If it could not be properly resolved, Zhang Chong might really be abandoned by Taiping Dao.
The two discussed for a while in the hall, mainly preparing for the worst case scenario.
If Zhang Chong was just deprived of his teaching position, then it would be okay to adjust the strategy later. But if he was detained in Dongpingling, Duman and others would have to retreat back to the mountain, wait for him to escape, and join them in the mountain.
Moreover, because of this incident, several field guards nearby who had divided their fields had to hurry up and establish them. He asked Duman to stay here during this period and be responsible for coordinating the matter.
Finally, Zhang Chong also warned Duman:
"You must start well and end well, and you can't let others down anymore."
After explaining this, Zhang Chong took two soldiers and set off towards Dongpingling.
Duman sent Zhang Chong to the outside of the wall. Looking at the back of Zhang Chong's three riders retreating, he sighed:
"Shi Zaizi, if you don't let me down, I will never let you down. But this road is really too difficult. Can we really go on?"
Then Duman thought about Zhang Qiu slowly sinking into the cesspit and the stars that could not be found in the sky. He sighed and went back to the wall.
He wants to help Zhang Chong safeguard this inheritance! He also wants to be able to see his father's star when he looks up.
Here, Zhang Chong led two guardsmen on horseback to Dongpingling.
This place is not far from Dongping Tomb, about forty miles away, not a long way. But it is already afternoon, and even if we rush to Dongping Tomb, we can't get in. By that time, the city gates are closed.
Therefore, Zhang Chong and the others did not gallop, but walked and rested to build up their power. Along the way, they arrived at a pavilion.
This pavilion is the only pavilion from Tugu to Dongpingling. It is already full of businessmen. They all come here to rest before going to Dongpinglingxi Market early tomorrow morning to sell.
Zhang Chong and the others showed the forged talisman to the pavilion at the roadside, and then led their horses into the pavilion.
The pavilion attendant said that there was another room in the west corridor where three people could squeeze in. He also asked if he wanted some wine. He made it at home and it tasted very good.
Zhang Chong didn't like wine, so the other two people didn't dare to say anything when they saw that he didn't want it. They just said they wanted millet and water.
Seeing how stingy these three people were, the waiter stopped talking and told them where the stables were and left.
Before leaving, this person still had his duty after all, and reminded them that they had to hunt the cued grass themselves. Of course, if they didn't want to bother, there were people selling it nearby.
Seeing that the pavilion soldiers were leaving, Zhang Chong asked Cai Que and Guo Zu to take the horses to the stables, and asked them to buy turds for the horses to eat. Be careful of the twigs sold by merchants and treacherous men. This kind of grass should never be given to horses.
, thinning.
After receiving the order, Cai Que and Guo Zu led their horses away.
This Cai was indeed the iron beast who surrendered to Li Damu on the battlefield that day. Zhang Chong captured this man in the Jiangkou camp because in his eyes, this man was a warrior.
And Guo Zu was a Taishan citizen. In the fight with Feng Gaohao, he killed six people by himself, and was selected into Zhang Chong's collision team for his bravery.
These two men were the two armies led by Zhang Chong, both of whom were brave for a moment.
Then Zhang Chong ignored the two of them and went to find the way by himself. He went all the way to the west corridor and found Lishe.
Needless to say, this pavilion is specifically designed for business travelers. Although the interior is not luxurious, it is clean. There are beds, couches, and mats.
Zhang Chong sat down and rested for a while. There was a knock on the door, and he only said that he was here to bring millet and water.
As soon as Zhang Chong opened the door, he saw a plump concubine standing at the door carrying a bucket of millet and a jar of water.
Zhang Chong looked strange when he saw this person, but he still got out of the way and let her in.
As soon as the concubine came in, she lowered her head and cautiously placed the millet bucket and earthen pot on the table. Just when she was about to leave, Zhang Chong suddenly said something.
