Liu Zhang's study in Beihai began with Guoyuan's troubles.
Five years have passed in the blink of an eye. Liu Zhang is still as diligent as ever.
Five years of studying and exercising every day. It’s just one more thing to make friends.
When Liu Zhang first arrived in Beihai, he had already accomplished his important goal of recruiting Tai Shici.
They don't know each other without fighting, and they got to know Guo Yuan because of a song called "Wandering Son's Song". At the same time, he and Guo Yuan's good friend Sun Qian also became close friends.
Five years have passed, and the time has come to AD 183, less than a year before the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
Fifteen-year-old Liu Zhang has undergone amazing changes!
He has grown more than seven feet tall, far taller than his peers.
The strong muscles can no longer be concealed, and it is very shocking visually!
Some of the childish faces are slightly uncoordinated, a bit like King Kong Barbie.
"Ziyi, Zini, Gongyou, please!"
Liu Zhang raised his wine glass and paid tribute to the three people in front of him.
These three people were his main targets in coming to Beihai.
Taishi Ci, Guoyuan, Sun Qian.
Later he became the important minister of Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Quan respectively.
"please!"
The four drank it all at the same time, and Liu Zhang took the initiative to pour wine for them.
"Time flies, years pass by, and before we know it, we have known each other for five years!"
Liu Zhang's exclamation resonated with the three of them, and Guoyuan raised a glass to Liu Zhang.
"Brother Xian once sang [Wandering Son's Song], which Brother Yu will never forget!"
"Brother and I don't know each other without fighting!"
"Dry!"
Liu Zhang's face straightened, he looked at the three of them and said seriously:
"Now that my studies are completed, I don't want to delay here."
"Tomorrow I will say goodbye to my mentor and return to Luoyang."
"oh?"
"Brother Xian is going back?"
Liu Zhang's farewell did not shock them. After all, Liu Zhang's studies had been completed long ago.
"Yes, the current situation is turbulent and the border areas have been in chaos for a long time. As a member of the Han clan, I should serve the country!"
"My dear brother, you have great ambitions! I admire you!"
Liu Zhang looked at Taishi Ci apologetically.
"Ziyi, my father was appointed governor of Jizhou in the past, and I promised Ziyi to recommend him to my father."
"Now that my father has been transferred to Zongzheng, I'm afraid he will break his promise."
"I'm so sorry!"
Taishi Ci didn't care, he cupped his hands and said:
"Young master has shown great kindness to my mother and son, how dare Ziyi ask for anything else?"
"Please don't take it to heart, sir!"
Liu Zhang nodded slightly and looked at Guoyuan and the others.
"How do you two brothers feel about the current world?"
Sun Qian and Tai Shici didn't speak, but Guo Yuan couldn't help but complain.
"Nowadays, the world is deteriorating. The imperial court buys and sells officials and eunuchs, and eunuchs interfere in politics, causing people to live in dire straits."
Liu Zhang nodded, expressing his agreement with Guoyuan, and expressed his own opinion.
"Not only that, the war between the imperial court and the Western Qiang lasted for decades, and the cost was huge! The corvee military service was serious! Brothers, do you know about the Taiping Road?"
"I know that there are many Taiping Dao people now, and they are spreading Fu Shui to cure diseases and save people. They are spread throughout every state and county."
Guoyuan showed a worried look.
"Now that the court is dark, I'm afraid some people will take advantage of it."
Seeing that the three of them were all worried, Liu Zhang sternly cursed:
"The incident of Ziyi shows how chaotic the court and state government orders are, and how the upper management ignores the suffering of the farmers."
"The three Zhang Jiao brothers are recruiting believers under the guise of curing illnesses and saving lives. Their momentum has become unstoppable!"
"It is said that there are hundreds of thousands of believers in every state and county!"
"Some even sell their belongings and follow them thousands of miles away!"
"And there are many powerful and powerful officials among them. As a result, they failed to attract the attention of the imperial court."
"From what I can see, the Tao of Taiping will be reversed!"
The three people looked at Liu Zhang in shock and disbelief.
The word rebellion was too far away for them who lived in peacetime.
Liu Zhang was disapproving of their looks and continued to administer strong medicine.
"The three brothers are not outsiders. Nowadays, the big man is riddled with wounds. He needs strong medicine to cure him! And Taipingdao is the introduction of this strong medicine."
"Your Majesty is currently buying and selling officials, eunuchs and relatives are vying for power and profit at home, and there are party-controlled disasters outside. Today's Han Dynasty has reached a critical stage of life and death. If there is no manpower to turn the tide, then... ugh!"
Liu Zhang did not continue, believing that the people sitting there already knew it.
Sun Qian looked at Liu Zhang with disbelief on his face
"Is it too exaggerated?"
Liu Zhang glanced at him and shook his head gently.
"It will only be more serious than imagined. I don't dare to waste any more time."
"After returning to Luoyang, I will strive for a military position to prepare for unexpected events."
Guoyuan was much calmer than Sun Qian, and only expressed his approval to Liu Zhang.
"My worthy brother is worthy of being a member of the Han clan, with great ambitions!"
"I know that my brother and I all have great ambitions. Can you go to Luoyang with me to serve the country?"
Liu Zhang raised his wine glass and looked at everyone, hoping that the three of them could help him.
Taishi Ci raised his wine glass and said loudly:
"Taishi Ci is willing to follow you!"
"good!"
Although Liu Zhang had known for a long time that Tai Shici would follow him, the meaning was different when he said it himself!
What the Yellow Turban Rebellion needs most right now is a fierce general like Taishi Ci!
Then he looked at Guoyuan and Guoyuan. These two were also very important to him!
