The Yellow Turban Zhang Jiao's Third Oath: This is a lifelong ambition

  At this moment, Zhang Kuang seriously suspected that he had crossed over into a cultivation realm, rather than a historical one.

  It was clear that this blow wasn't easily delivered. Di Wena's normally robust body swayed, revealing a hint of fatigue, looking more exhausted than after fighting fifty rounds with others. Ten steps away, Sun Jian also reached out to support Zǔ Mào, letting him help prop up his body.

  Although the two were weak to this extent, the power of this move still strongly shocked all who witnessed it. Zhang Kuang's heart rose with the idea of "taking advantage of his illness and taking his life", but looking at the people around him with their mouths agape and stupid expressions, he let out a light sigh and let it go.

  Sun Jian withdrew from the Hundred Steps, and the "war qi" in his body had recovered. He saw Adjutant Bao Xin, who was about to ask why he retreated, but saw Bao Xin point with his hand and immediately shut his mouth, saying no more.

  The reason is right in front of us, where Bao Xin pointed.

  A team of heavenly soldiers, with more than a hundred people, was watching the Han army from afar. This is nothing. But the key is that behind these heavenly soldiers, new soldiers are constantly emerging.

  This shows that the enemy's main force has begun to gather. If they don't retreat in time, it will be a great disaster for the Han army.

  Although somewhat flustered, these Han troops were, after all, the cream of the crop, and their retreat was still orderly. Fortunately, until the Han army withdrew from the South City Gate, the assembled Tianping Army did not launch an attack on its own initiative, but only followed behind the Han army to recover the city gate.

  Until the south gate's city gate was heavily closed, Yu Jin, who presided over the entire "send-off" process, finally let out a long sigh.

  He didn't mind sending troops to pursue, but he had no confidence at all.

  When the shout of killing and the warning drumbeat came from the south gate, the Tianping Army's camp immediately fell into chaos.

  Wang Guo and Yu Jin initially exerted great pressure, but the effect was not good. When a group of soldiers scattered their hair and ran out of the camp, Yu Jin knew that if he didn't take drastic measures, the chaos would be unstoppable.

  He then simply said a word to Wang Guo, and immediately shouted loudly, drew out his long spear, and led several of his trusted soldiers in a massacre against these fleeing soldiers. Afterwards, the heads of seven of the fleeing soldiers were speared on the tips of the spears, and were paraded around the camp by the commander.

  This cruel and ruthless method made Wang Guo's heart tremble with fear, but he also secretly admired it. Thus, under the order of "beheading those who move" and the intimidating sight of bloody heads, the entire military camp immediately restored order.

  Fortunately, these Tianping Army soldiers had not fallen asleep yet due to the arrival of the remnants of "Bo Cai's" troops. If the enemy's surprise attack had occurred while the army was fast asleep, even with Yu Jin's capable tactics, it would have been impossible to restore order immediately.

  Those who are awakened from a daze by the enemy's surprise attack will not have any rational behavior. In this situation, it is likely to happen "blast camp" phenomenon. At that time, Yu Jin, no matter how great his skills were, could not think of anything.

  In the stabilized camp, Yu Jin and Wang Guo had a brief conversation. They heard intense shouting and killing sounds near the county government office. The two immediately decided that Wang Guo would guard the military camp, while Yu Jin led a part of the organized Tianping Army to go and rescue and fight against the enemy.

  Fortunately, most of these Pingjun soldiers were defeated troops who escaped from Changsha at night and didn't have nyctalopia, so they could barely be organized by Yu Jin to fight against the enemy. However, after experiencing the "enemy's surprise attack" and "killing of fleeing soldiers", it can be imagined how low the morale of the soldiers was.

  Yu Jin's ability to command troops was strong, but after all, he had joined the Tianping Army for a short time and it was still difficult to drive these low-spirited guys. In desperation, Yu Jin had no choice but to use the strategy of suspicious soldiers, setting up a posture as if trying to surround the Han army from behind, which successfully scared off the Han army.

  After going through all this trouble, by the time Zhang Kuang finished inspecting the city's defenses and took down that powerful family who was secretly collaborating with the Han army, a new day's sun had already risen into the sky.

  After the battle, Zhang Kuang finally let out a sigh of relief. Apart from the fifty-man team guarding the south gate, which suffered more than twenty casualties, only the "Heavy Armor Team" and Zhang Kuang's "Personal Guard Team" suffered more than thirty casualties. As for food and property, if calculated, the confiscated wealth of the aristocratic family would bring in over a thousand piculs of grain and goods worth over 1.7 million wu coins.

  "What a fine Sun Jian, indeed worthy of his reputation. He actually imitated the precedent of 'openly repairing the plank road while secretly crossing to Chencang' and gave me a 'backstabbing blow'! If it weren't for my good luck that night when I had guests arriving, who knows, maybe I would have been defeated by your son's surprise attack..."

  "General, what should be done with those captured Hu tribesmen?"

  Wang Guo looked at Zhang Kuang's face and asked cautiously.

  Zhang Kuang sat still for a moment, struggling inwardly for a while before speaking in a low voice:

  "Behead all males over twelve years old and display their heads publicly. As for the remaining women and children... let's sell them to civilians as slaves!"

  Having said that, Zhang Kuang's face showed a tired expression, and he said to Wang Guo:

  "You handle this matter yourself, no need to discuss it back and forth anymore."

  A chaotic world has its own rules. The morality of later generations does not apply to the present. One person commits a crime, and the whole family is implicated, this is the rule of the present...

  With no one around, Zhang Kuang stretched out his hands and muttered to himself:

  "Now, I... have become a true Three Kingdoms person..."

  When Zhang Kuang was feeling the characteristics of the times, in Danfu City, there was a group of people who were shocked.

  "Could it be that this Zhang Qianxun is actually a legitimate disciple of the 'Old Immortal of South China'?"

  He Yi still had doubts in his mouth, but looking at his face, he actually believed this news.

  These Yellow Turbans from the "Po Jun Army" were utterly astonished by General Taishi Ci, who was able to hold his own against the "Tiger of Jiangdong", Sun Jian. Moreover, they were delighted to find that this army was full of familiar faces, and a group of people could easily gather information about everything they wanted to know without any effort. As a result, the more people asked, the greater their astonishment became.

  Xie Xun, who was accidentally called "Golden Lion King" by Zhang Kuang, is young but has been gifted since childhood. With the education of his father and other core members of the "Taiping Tao", he can be said to be a versatile talent in both literature and martial arts. Even for the highest secret of the "Taiping Tao" - "Taiping Heavenly Book", he knows quite a bit.

  According to him, the "Taiping Tianshu" is divided into three volumes, called: Heaven, Earth and Man. These three books, Xie Xun's father "Bo Cai Shuai", had all read them. The records above are some extremely mysterious techniques and spells. Zhang Jiao, a great virtuous teacher, relied on the techniques and spells recorded above to repeatedly show divine signs in the Central Plains, thereby gaining millions of devout followers.

  In "Tai Ping Dao", there are many knowledgeable people who study these three books, but out of ten people, it's not necessarily the case that one person can learn simple techniques. According to Da Xian Liang Shi's explanation, whether it is Tian, Di or Ren, each volume requires a special method to learn.

  Xie Xun had also studied the introductory principles of "Taiping Tian Shu", but gained nothing, so he changed to practice "Zhan Qi", hoping to become a great general in the future.

  However, as far as Xie Xun knows, among all the people who know "Taiping Tian Shu", there is absolutely no one who has the ability to "enlighten" like Zhang Kuang. It's worth noting that such an ability is simply too against heaven. If used well, it can create a powerful army composed entirely of martial artists with "war spirit" in just a few years.

  Such a powerful army can meet gods and kill them, see immortals and slay them!

  If Zhang Kuang heard Xie Yun's speculation, he would definitely "cry bitterly". Originally, Zhang Kuang also had such an idea. However, when his army scale expanded, Zhang Kuang was shocked to find that the cooldown time required for his "enlightenment" ability had actually increased greatly!

  From this, it can be inferred that as Zhang Kuang's power grows stronger, his "point enlightenment" ability will require increasingly longer cooldown times. Therefore, the terrible consequences deduced by Xie Xuan from some superficial information are actually impossible to achieve!

  However, when Xia Xun and others heard this terrifying inference, they were all shocked and stunned!

  "With such abilities, even if you're not a disciple of Nan Hua Lao Xian, you can still achieve something..."

  He Man's face was filled with surprise and her mind was shaken as she said.

  "There won't be any deception! If it were one or two people, they could still be ambushed. But if you count the likes of Dian Wei, Zhou Cang, Yu Jin, He Qi, and Shen Fu, not a single one of them wasn't suddenly and greatly improved in martial arts after being 'enlightened'. Especially someone like Dian Wei and Zhou Cang, their personalities aren't ones that can be deceived. If they can confirm it, then this matter is true."

  "As soon as the words 'Tai Da Shi' came out, it was considered that the nature of the matter had been determined. However, in Tai Da Shi's heart, there were still some doubts."

  "This Zhang Wuji, I originally heard about him when I was with the Great Wise and Virtuous Master. It's said that the Great Wise and Virtuous Master personally taught him the way of the 'Taiping Tian Shu' back then. However, this Zhang Wuji didn't have enough talent and couldn't cultivate it successfully in the end. The Great Wise and Virtuous Master then let him change to practicing 'Taiping True Qi'."

  "However, as for his cultivation of 'true energy', I've never heard that he had achieved anything great..."

  He Yi also said with some doubt:

  "This Zhang Wuji seems to be not the leader of any one 'faction' either? Among the thirty-six factions, I have never heard of him..."

  "Taishi" stroked his chin with a long mustache and replied:

  "This matter, I have heard something about it. Zhang Wuji was originally sent to a small 'fang' by the great and virtuous master as an envoy to supervise the uprising. But he happened to meet the commander of that small 'fang', who suddenly fell ill and died. That's when Zhang Wuji took over the commander's position."

  However, it was also because he rose to power too hastily and had not fully grasped the power of this "method" that he would later suffer a crushing defeat at the hands of the provincial troops, with his followers scattered in all directions.

  It wasn't until everyone heard this that they finally realized the truth and knew where this unknown "Zhang Qushuai" had popped up from.

  Xie Xun said in a calm tone:

  "After a while, Xie went to have a talk with this General Zhang. If he can 'enlighten' Xie and help me avenge my father's death, then even if Xie has to acknowledge him as his master, what's the harm in that?"

  At this time, in a fort twenty miles outside of Jianye City, Sun Jian and Bao Xin were also engaged in conversation.

  "These moths are really good luck!"

  "Wen Tai, don't be anxious. A mere two thousand people, even if they come, it won't amount to much. What are your plans at present, Brother Wen?"

  Compared to Sun Jian's emotions being written all over his face, Bao Xin was very calm and collected, not showing any signs of disappointment at the failure of their plan, living up to his reputation as "calm and deliberate".

  "Commander Cao sent an urgent message the day before yesterday, saying that he had already surrounded the 'Bo Cai' tribe in the east of Jiyang. However, the enemy is numerous and it's difficult for him to capture them with just his cavalry, so he invited me to lead the army to assist in the battle."

  Mentioning this matter, a hint of pride appeared on Sun Jian's face again.

  Cao Mengde's military tactics are clever, but ultimately lack sufficient military strength. If you want to capture a hard nut, Sun Mou must come out!

  "Meng De has said so, then Wen Tai can quickly go and meet him to cut off the head of 'Bo Cai'. As for here, Bao certain will link up with the surrounding big households and strongmen, jointly send troops, and be able to suppress these 'bandits'."

  "Yuncheng (Bao Xin's courtesy name) brother has spoken thus, so Sun Mou will no longer be polite. You and I, let us part ways from now on!"

  Sun Jian was a generous and straightforward hero who disliked empty words. After bidding farewell to Bao Xin, he mounted his horse with the "Mighty Tiger's Righteous Followers" and chased after his main army. Bao Xin stood on the city wall of Wudu Fortress, watching as Sun Jian's troops disappeared into the distance, thinking silently to himself:

  Meng De and Wen Tai, one literary and one martial, are both heroes of the world! However, unfortunately, Meng De is flawed in minor details, and Wen Tai appears slightly rough, but neither can compare to "the model for the world" Yuan Benchu...

  I only wonder, what is the military prowess of Yuan Shao? And then there's the "fierce ghost on the road" Yuan Changshu who has already submitted to him. The two brothers are both heroes of the world. Adding to that the heroic figure from Youzhou, Gongsun Baoyue, these five men will surely become the pillars of the Han dynasty for decades to come...

  At this time, Bao Xin, of course, did not know that in the distant north, there was a hero who had once been engaged in grass shoe weaving, and at this moment, he was leading two sworn brothers who were about to become "enemies of ten thousand people" and fighting hard with the Yellow Turbans at the grassroots level. However, even so, Bao Xin's eyesight was still quite venomous.

  The sky of the great Han will soon be created a brand new history by these heroes!
