Facing Zhang Jiao's inquiry, Zhang Liang didn't even think about it and said directly: "Of course I went."
Zhang Jiao was very surprised when he saw this and asked: "Third brother, the "Tianguo Tianmu System" is about to be implemented. If you are not here, who will I leave to promote it?"
Zhang Liang laughed when he heard this and said: "Leave it to Feng Yunshan. He was involved in the formulation of the "Heavenly Land Acre System" from the beginning to the end, so he will definitely be able to do it well."
Zhang Jiao obviously didn't have as much confidence in Feng Yunshan as Zhang Liang, so he hesitated and said, "Brother is worried if I leave this matter to others."
Zhang Liang also guessed Zhang Jiao's concerns, so he also explained his own reasons.
"Brother, although the reform is important, there is something more important that I must do."
"More important?"
Zhang Jiao frowned slightly. In his opinion, for the current Yellow Turbans, there is nothing more important than the implementation of the "Heavenly Land Acre System".
If it is just to monitor Xiang Yu, there is no need to send Zhang Liang out. Jia Guo, Li Mi and Wang Shichong can do it, so Zhang Jiao does not want Zhang Liang to leave at this critical moment.
But Zhang Liang said that there were more important things to do. What could be more important than implementing the "Heavenly Land Acre System"?
Zhang Liang naturally knew the doubts in Zhang Jiao's heart, but he did not explain, but asked: "Brother, have you ever thought about why the Baijia betrayed me when the Yellow Turban was at its peak?"
Zhang Jiao's brows suddenly furrowed even more tightly. He had also thought about this. If the Yellow Turbans went downhill and were betrayed by hundreds of families, that would still be justified.
But Baijia betrayed them just when the Yellow Turbans were at their peak, and there was no room for maneuver, which makes people wonder about their purpose.
The light of wisdom flashed in Zhang Liang's eyes, and he said unhurriedly: "The Yellow Turbans and Baijia are not on the same road, and their previous cooperation was just mutual use.
Betraying me, the Yellow Turban, proves that Baijia can get more from the big man, and there is nothing wrong with exchanging benefits.
But Baijia actually betrayed us without leaving any room for maneuver. Aren't they afraid that if I, the Yellow Turban, take over the world, they will take revenge on them?"
"Yes, why?" Zhang Jiao murmured to himself in confusion, but he couldn't figure this out.
A sneer flashed across Zhang Liang's lips and he said: "This shows that Baijia is convinced that we will lose, or they have a way to make us lose."
Zhang Jiao was startled and asked quickly: "Third brother, did you find anything?"
Zhang Liang nodded, and then shook his head. Zhang Jiao was completely confused when he saw this.
"Don't play riddles for me. Is there any?"
"Although it is still uncertain, there is definitely a big network in the dark that is attacking the entire Yellow Turban, and the mastermind behind it is from Baijia."
Zhang Jiao finally realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately raised his ears to listen, for fear of missing a word.
"Jingzhou is a gathering place for hundreds of families, and the reason why I want to go south to prison this time is because Xiang Yu is just incidental, and taking Jingzhou is only second. I will meet with hundreds of families, and find out the mastermind behind the scenes, so as to resolve the Yellow Turbans
The hidden fatal crisis is the main purpose."
If Qin Hao knew that he tried every means to transfer Zhang Liang away from Zhang Jue, but Zhang Liang took the initiative to leave Zhang Jue, he didn't know what he would think.
Zhang Liang's sense of crisis is too sensitive. After he smells the crisis, he doesn't need anyone to tell him, he just goes to find the source of the crisis. Qin Hao's little action is completely unnecessary.
Indeed, Qin Hao was extremely jealous of Zhang Liang, fearing that Zhang Liang would ruin Guiguzi's plan, but Zhang Liang was also extremely jealous of Guiguzi? So naturally he could not tolerate Qin Hao or Baijia leaving his sight.
Zhang Jiao never expected this level, but he knew that since the Baijia betrayed the Yellow Turbans, they must not be optimistic about the Yellow Turbans, so the Yellow Turbans were definitely in danger of being destroyed.
Seeing that Zhang Jue was silent, Zhang Liang thought that he was still struggling, so he added: "The Baijia have already connected with Qin Hao, and if I don't go, Xiang Yu will definitely lose."
"That's not true. Xiang Yu's 200,000 troops are all elite, while Qin Hao only has 100,000 troops. No matter how you look at it, he is at a disadvantage." Zhang Jiaoqiang said with a smile.
"This is true under normal circumstances, but brother, do you think Baijia will fight Fairly? There will definitely be a conspiracy against Xiang Yu."
Zhang Liang's guess was indeed correct, but he was not only targeting Xiang Yu, but also Zhang Liang.
"Besides, brother, have you forgotten that Zhu Jun in Nanyang still has an army of 50,000 troops?"
Zhang Jiao suddenly realized and said: "Why have you forgotten this Han army? Third brother, do you mean that Qin Hao will mobilize this Han army?"
"Even if Qin Hao doesn't mobilize, as long as Xiang Yu's goal is Jingzhou, he will definitely have to face 150,000 Han troops. And with Xiang Yu's 200,000 troops, it will be difficult to capture Jingzhou, which is defended by 150,000 Han troops.
Too big."
With 200,000 attacking and 150,000 defending, the attacking side has basically lost its numerical advantage.
Zhang Jiao naturally knew the meaning and immediately asked: "Third brother, do you have any suggestions?"
Zhang Liang looked like he had the pearls of wisdom in hand, and said slowly: "We can let the 100,000 garrison troops in Yuzhou launch an attack on Zhu Jun from the east road in response to Xiang Yu on the north road. In this way, there will be a total of 300,000 troops on the north and south roads.
It should be easier to go to Jingzhou."
Having said this, Zhang Jiao naturally no longer had the idea of stopping Zhang Liang from going south.
"In this case, my elder brother will hand over the military power of Yuzhou to you, and let you and Xiang Yu deal with Qin Hao and Baijia."
In fact, Zhang Liang and Xiang Yu only faced Qin Hao and Gui Guzi, but Gui Guzi alone was more terrifying than the entire hundred schools of thought.
Xiang Yu Zhang Liang VS Qin Hao Guiguzi, who will win in this duel between force and intelligence?
The answer will be revealed soon.
Zhang Jiao patted Zhang Liang on the shoulder and encouraged: "Brother, I believe in you. When third brother, you come back victorious, the Yellow Turban will rely on you."
Zhang Jiao once had three candidates for his successor, namely Hong Xiuquan, Huang Chao and Xiang Yu.
But all three of them disappointed Zhang Jiao in the end. Now that Zhang Jiao's life is approaching, he has no time to continue looking for candidates. Currently, only Zhang Liang is suitable.
Zhang Liang knew what Zhang Jiao was thinking without even thinking about it. He immediately smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, I'm really not that material. You'd better leave it to the second brother."
"Your second brother is brave and foolhardy, and he is not that material."
"But I..."
Before Zhang Liang finished speaking, he was interrupted impatiently by Zhang Jiao.
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. What do you think of the situation in Sizhou and Yongzhou?"
Zhang Liang immediately showed a solemn look on his face and said: "I heard that Dong Zhuo has completely put down the Liangzhou rebellion, which also means that 200,000 Xiliang troops will soon join the battle."
