Sun Jian didn't want to fight, but the enemy was already attacking. It was impossible for him not to fight back. People on both sides were dead, and a blood feud had been formed. It was not easy to make peace with him.
The Banlu barbarians were good at fighting, and the Ba people were capable. They attacked the camp with a weak force, but they all fought bravely. Sun Jian's troops had the advantage in numbers, with many bows and crossbows, and sharp armor. The two sides fought with each other across the wall, and arrows fell like rain, and spears fell like rain.
Like a forest, drums and horns are shouting, and the sound of killing is shaking the sky.
After half a day of fierce fighting, there were injuries to each other, but the walls of the village still stood. Sun Jian took the lead, inspired the troops, and made up his mind to defend to the death. He did not retreat even a step. The troops suspected of being rice thieves could not break the camp, and the Yizhou Governor's Office was watching eagerly from the side.
, when they showed signs of exhaustion, they had no choice but to withdraw their troops and retreat to Ju County.
The two sides did not fight. They were able to maintain their formation and suffered little damage. However, they repelled the enemy. Sun Jian was very happy. The morale of the army improved significantly. It only needed some repairs and it was not difficult to regain fighting spirit.
"These rice thieves are here to do good deeds. They have solved a big headache problem. I will definitely report it later and chop off their heads." Sun Jian joked while removing his armor. He was in a much better mood now.
"Yes, I must repay the favor, chop off the heads of these gangsters, their mother's legs will be broken, hey, please be gentle." Zu Mao was hit by several arrows in the battle. Fortunately, he was protected by iron armor, which penetrated his flesh.
Not deep.
Huang Gai, who was treating his injury, ignored him and took out the arrowhead and poured bowls of salt water onto the wound. The pain made Zu Mao cry out, saying, "You thief, you deserve to be killed, I will kill you sooner or later."
them."
After the bandaging was completed, Zu Mao was so painful that he was injured by the salt water. He complained with a crooked mouth and eyes: "Why did Liu Duliao invent such a torture method? The treatment is more painful than the injury. What is the reason?"
"The truth is that it can save lives. Then Liu Duliao is a great sage who can cure plague. This method can remove the metal and create the disease. If you don't want to suffer from the four or six winds, just bear with it." Huang Gai admired him very much.
Liu Xiang deliberately learned the art of debridement and thought it was of great use.
After treating Zu Mao's injury, he admonished Sun Jian: "Master, do you want to tell Liu Duliao about the situation here? Our army may not be able to move for a while."
Sun Jian sighed: "I have to tell Liu Yicheng that he won't be able to leave for a short period of time. He led the troops with all his strength and vowed to do so, and now it's like this. It's really fucking embarrassing. Liu Yicheng trusts me more than me, Sun Jian said.
But I can’t help my friend, alas! It’s really, really shameless to see anyone!”
The military information flew along the plank road and reached Liu Xiang five days later.
Seeing that the army had been stabilized, he breathed a sigh of relief. He saw that there were troops suspected of rice thieves in Juxian County. Among them were many Ba people and Banlu barbarians. The main general was Zhang Yaqi, but he never showed his face. He didn't know who he was.
.
He guessed in his mind that the person opposite him might be Zhang Xiu of the Five Dou Rice Road.
Zhang Xiu was from Bajun. He founded the Five Pecks of Rice Road. Like Zhang Jiao, he preached and gathered people. In 184 AD, he launched a rebellion. He was the leader of the great religion and the leader of the rebellion.
Its power spread throughout Bajun and Hanzhong.
Zhang Jiao taught people with the "Tai Ping Jing" and burned talisman water to cure diseases. Zhang Xiu did the same thing, emphasizing kowtow to think about faults and using talisman water to cure diseases. He taught the people with "Laozi's Five Thousand Wen". This is why Taoist activities are combined with Taoist thoughts.
He pioneered, which was the first time in the history of Taoism to combine "Laozi" with folk religion, and Taoism also began to move towards an independent religion.
He also created the "Three Officials Handwriting", which combines medical treatment with religious activities and is more influential and deceptive. "It is normal for the patient's family to give out rice." During his leadership of the Five Pecks of Rice Road, the patients' families voluntarily gave out rice.
Or something else, instead of all believers having to hand over rice. Later, Zhang Lu lured Zhang Xiu to death, annexed the Five Dou Rice Road, and made reforms: all believers had to hand over rice. That's why in historical materials, Han people and Ba Yi "didn't dare not to give up rice."
"Feng" theory.
Zhang Lu is the grandson of Zhang Ling. Zhang Ling is Zhang Daoling among the four great Celestial Masters. He is the descendant of Zhang Liang and the founder of Celestial Master Tao in Longhu Mountain. Unlike Zhang Jiao and Zhang Xiu, their family has never rebelled.
, has never created a five-peck rice road, let alone a rice thief.
Historical books call Zhang Jiao "Taoist" and "Great Master", Zhang Xiu "Sacrifice Wine" and "Ghost Master", and Zhang Lu "Junshi" and "Heavenly Master". There is a difference. It's just Zhang Lu
Killed Zhang Xiu and annexed the Five Dou Rice Dao. The Celestial Master Dao is about using snakes to swallow elephants. Most of the followers are Five Dou Rice Dao, so it is misunderstood by the world. The Five Dou Rice Dao is another name for the Celestial Master Dao. This statement is inaccurate.
of.
Tianshi Tao not only attracted a large number of followers, but also absorbed many teachings of Wu Dou Mi Tao, thus becoming very popular in the world.
Later, Zhang Lu surrendered to Boss Cao. In the entire Cao Wei Group, he and Cao Cao were the only marquises of ten thousand households. With the help of these large number of believers, his descendants continued for generations, and the Longhu Mountain inheritance lasted for two thousand years. The Five Pecks of Rice Road was his ladder.
Zhang Lun could step on this ladder, and Liu Xiang also wanted to step on it.
A philosopher once said something like this: A monk can touch it, a Taoist priest can touch it, why can't I touch it?
That's right, why can't I touch it? I just want to touch it.
He wants to see Zhang Xiu.
"Call Zhang He to come and see you."
Not long after, Zhang He entered the Chinese army's tent. Liu Xiang didn't wait for him to bow before he said: "Jun Yi, you lead the army to stay here and confront the scattered garrison. I want to go to Hanzhong."
"General, please think twice. The Baoxie Road is steep, so why risk it? You can just tell the general about some matters. I am willing to go to Hanzhong for the general." Zhang He wanted to advise, how could the commander of an army abandon the army and leave?
"I have to go over this matter. Jun Yi doesn't need to persuade me anymore." Liu Xiang has made up his mind. Even if the person facing him is not Zhang Xiu, he still wants to see the state of the partial master. It is a matter of great importance and no one else can take his place.
The generals were appointed and entrusted with the military talismans. On the same day, they led the guards out of the camp and went south via Baoxie Road. Ten days later, they arrived at the Juxian camp.
At this time, Ju County had been facing off for half a month. The two armies were unable to do anything against the other, and the war was in a stalemate.
When Sun Jian saw Liu Xiang, he was ashamed.
"Yicheng, I am really ashamed that I failed to complete the military order. Please ask for punishment. No mercy!"
"What nonsense are Wentai talking about? Victory and defeat are common matters for military officers, and there is no need to worry about it. Besides, has our army been defeated? The soldiers are still capable of fighting, how can the general say defeat? I am not here to hold people responsible, I just want to see him.
Zhang Xiu on the opposite side." Liu Xiang tried to persuade him, but Sun Jian still needed to lead the troops, so he couldn't be discouraged.
When Sun Jian heard this, he was moved. He wanted to win military glory, participated in many counterinsurgency battles, and followed more than one general. Liu Yicheng was the only one who could think highly of him. His attitude towards him could not be said to be that of a polite corporal.
We really treat each other as equals and treat him as a friend.
He has made this friend.
Sun Jian was moved, and his four generals were also moved. They were of lower origin and had been despised by others in the past. Only Liu Duliao was easy to treat and entrusted with important tasks. Such friendship was so profound that he made an oath in his heart.
, I must repay you in this life.
Liu Xiang was on business and had no time to accompany them, so he said: "Brother Wentai, send an envoy to Ju County and tell him that General Du Liao wants to ask Zhang Xiu for a talk. Their situation in Ju County is not good either. They should be able to
Let’s talk.”
Sun Jian asked doubtfully: "The general on the opposite side is called Zhang Xiu? Is he the leader of the rice thieves who rebelled the year before last?"
"That's right, it's Zhang Xiu who was driven out of Hanzhong by Su Gu. He didn't go south, but stayed in Wudu. I'm afraid he was blocked by several checkpoints in the south. He couldn't return home and was living in the Qiang and Di areas.
They are having a hard time, hiding and not daring to show up, and stopping in Ju County. They must be thinking about Yangpingguan. Their intention to go home is already obvious."
