Chapter 10 Zhou Cang surrendered, thousands of troops were short of food
Pei Yuanshao was still struggling desperately at first. When he heard Taoist Zuo Ci speak like this and saw the Yellow Turban Army behind him, he was stunned on the spot by this Taoist. He had also seen this kind of magic from the three Zhang Jiao brothers. At that time, the reason why the Yellow Turban Army
They dare to compete in the world because they all believe in what the "Great Master" said: "The sky is dead, the yellow sky is here to stand, and if you are six years old, the world will be prosperous."
However, in the battle with the army, the magic skills of the Zhang brothers were not as powerful as in the demonstration. As a "great virtuous teacher", Zhang Jiao died of illness not long after the war began. Zhang Jiao's death was the cause of the Yellow Turban
The fundamental reason for the defeat of the Yellow Turban Army was that everyone suddenly lost their faith, which caused a large number of Yellow Turban troops to lose their fighting spirit in the war, and were defeated one by one by the official army...
Pei Yuanshao seemed to have found spiritual sustenance. He fell to the ground and shouted loudly: "Master Immortal, save me, Master Immortal, save me! I, Pei Yuanshao, am devoted to the Tao. I only hope that Master Immortal can transform into me, so I don't have to be here anymore."
In this world, just suffer and suffer!"
Liu Xing saw that Pei Yuanshao no longer had the fighting spirit and sincerely bowed to Zuo Ci. Naturally, he did not need to control himself like this. He directly sheathed his sword, took two steps back, and let go of Pei Yuanshao. He saw that Pei Yuanshao did not get up at all, but fell to the ground.
, crawling forward. When he came to Taoist Zuo Ci, he was covered with dirt and his face was unrecognizable, but he didn't care. He bowed to the ground and burst into tears!
But the black-faced man was unmoved. He and Chen Yong were wrestling, and the two refused to give in. Chen Yong had been dragged off the ground by his horse. The black-faced man didn't want to take advantage of Chen Yong, so he actually
He turned over and jumped off the horse. He and Chen Yong hugged each other directly. They struggled with each other and rolled on the ground!
The two of them were fighting each other. One moment, you had the upper hand, and the other moment, he was pinned down. They tried their best and did not defend each other. After a while, they were both beaten with bruises and bleeding, but no one could
There was no intention of backing down. In the end, both of them were exhausted, and finally they lay down on the ground together, looking at each other, laughing.
Chen Yong laughed and said: "I am Chen Yong, a disciple of Taoist Zuo Ci. Today's battle with the general is my first battle after leaving the army. I admit that the general is slightly better than me, Chen Yong, in terms of strength. But like
This kind of child-like fighting is really enjoyable!"
The black-faced man was startled and then said: "A certain family named Zhoucang, named Yuanfu, is what you call a yellow turban thief! I was defeated by Mr. Chen today, and I am convinced of my defeat! Today, a certain family can finally
It’s time to take off all the burdens and have a complete rest! It’s so relaxing to not have to think about so many troubles anymore!”
After Zhou Cang said these words, he actually showed a look of relief on his face, and did not feel any displeasure at defeat. He had completely given up resistance and was ready to be captured. In Zhou Cang's opinion, if you want to kill or behead, you have to obey.
This calm look moved Chen Yong very much.
Chen Yong turned to look at his mentor, Taoist Zuo Ci, with a look of unbearable expression on his face. He was really afraid that his mentor would directly kill the two leading Yellow Turban generals like he punished those refugees. Pan's sixty-five people were all
There was a way to die, but they actually wanted to kill three of them, skinned and cramped them, and ate the flesh of their master and servant.
But these two generals of the Yellow Turban Army just wanted to rob their homes and rob the money of the three of them. Although this robbery was a serious crime, it shouldn't kill anyone, right? Especially the black-faced man Zhou who had been fighting with him for a long time.
Cang, I actually feel a sense of sympathy for each other. If I can recover from him, it will be a great help.
Taoist Zuo Ci ignored Chen Yong's gaze at all. He looked at the black-faced man Zhou Cang and said, "General Zhou, please tell me, is what the Yellow Turban Army did right?"
Zhou Cang thought for a while and then said: "The Yellow Turban Army was right to overthrow the Han Dynasty. In recent years, land annexation has been serious, and most of it fell into the hands of aristocratic families and party officials. The life of the common people has become more and more difficult. But the imperial court only knows how to buy officials.
If you sell your official position, no one cares about the life and death of the common people.
Coupled with the severe drought and locust plagues in recent years, the land has been harvested even more. However, those officials still collect rent according to the law. The people are so poor that they can't even eat, so what else can they use to pay the rent? It is precisely because of this,'
Only the great sage Zhang Jiao would take advantage of this opportunity to launch an uprising among the Taiping Dao followers to overthrow this decadent society!"
Taoist Zuo Ci asked: "But what did you Yellow Turban Army do? After your uprising failed, you Yellow Turban Army officers and soldiers lived in various places, and what kind of righteous deeds did you do to the common people? Are you really?
Are you dedicated to the suffering of the people? Most of you in the Yellow Turban Army have forgotten the teachings of the 'Tao of Peace', right?"
Zhou Cang thought of the evil things he had done with the Yellow Turban Army in the past few years. Although they were all out of necessity, they were undoubtedly a kind of harm to the people. He couldn't help but became speechless! In order to feed and clothe his brothers, he robbed homes and houses.
Although most of them rob money and food from wealthy gentry, are they really all corrupt officials?
Zuo Ci Taoist continued: "Although the aristocratic family and Dang Guo have done many evil things, most of them are still willing to think about the people. Chaos in the world is the root cause of the people's desperation! Because of the uprising of your Yellow Turban Army, there are also
How many people were displaced and eventually died in a foreign country?
This is why foreign tribes invaded the Central Plains! All wars will eventually blame the common people for the disaster. Therefore, those unarmed people are the meat on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered! That's why we have what we have now.
Traveling for hundreds of miles, you can see countless floating corpses, bones, bones and broken walls..."
Zhou Cang scratched his head and asked regretfully: "I dare to ask the immortal master, when will the world be peaceful? When will the weather be smooth and the country and the people be safe? If the immortal master knows how to let the people live and work in peace and contentment, I, Zhou Cang, will be willing to lead my men
Brothers, swear to follow the Immortal Master to the death! Be that pawn and you will never regret it forever!"
Taoist Zuo Ci replied: "Now the secret of heaven has been deceived. Although I am a Taoist, I can't see through this celestial phenomenon! I only know that if you want to revitalize the court or change the court, you need to have something."
You have your own people, your own territory, and your own team!
And this army is not a mob like yours! Although the Yellow Turban Army was numerous, why were they destroyed by tens of thousands of troops sent by the imperial court? It was because their army was well-trained, and their soldiers had people to provide them with supplies.
There is a place to rest and recuperate! But you Yellow Turban Army have none!"
Zhou Cang's eyes flashed, and he said: "The Immortal Master taught me! I, Zhou Cang, am not talented and admit that I have no ability to lead an army. I am willing to hand over the more than a thousand brothers under my command to the Immortal Master. Even Pei and I
My eldest brother is willing to follow the teachings of the Immortal Master. May I ask the Immortal Master what do you think?"
Taoist Zuo Ci said: "General Zhou, please finish what you have to say in one breath. If you continue to say nothing, I will assume that you have nothing to ask for! And I am just a monk and have no interest in leading troops to fight, so you
If you give me the right to lead the troops, I can only hand it over to my disciple Chen Yong, what do you think?"
Zhou Cang replied: "Yes, Brother Chen Yong and I have never known each other before, and I have a very good impression of him. Apart from the Immortal Master Commander, my favorite is Brother Chen Yong. Whoever leads us, you or Brother Chen Yong, will
It’s the same. I can guarantee that everyone in this Yellow Turban Army will willingly obey the discipline of the Immortal Master and his disciples. But I still have something to ask for..."
Taoist Zuo Ci said: "I already know what you are asking for. Now that it is getting late, we will all rest here. In a while, you will ask the Yellow Turban Army to light a bonfire. Today, our master and disciples hold hands for the first time.
Soldier, of course I want to treat everyone to a good meal! Don’t worry, there will be no accidents tonight, and there is no need to send extra manpower to guard the camp!"
Zhou Cang said in his heart: "Not to mention having a good meal, even if it is just about food and clothing, my yellow scarf army is willing to follow the immortal master! The immortal master may not know what the concept of a thousand people is, but after a full meal
How much food does it take to eat? Since the immortal master has agreed, I will pretend that the immortal master can do it!
If he can't even do this, don't blame me for not handing over the power of leading the troops to the immortal master. If the immortal master can really give our team a good meal, then in this life, following the immortal master and his apprentice will be the same.
Why not? The immortal master still has Taoist skills at his side, so when he encounters danger, he will have an extra layer of protection! No matter how you calculate it, this is not a loss-making business..."
Chen Yong stepped forward and hugged Zhou Cang. Both of them admired each other's strength. Zhou Cang also wanted to ask the immortal master to let go of his dozens of brothers, but Chen Yong said first: "General Zhou, hurry up.
Together with General Pei, let the remaining soldiers light a bonfire as soon as possible so that they can stay warm and cook for a while.
You should also take these dozens of soldiers back together. I begged Taoist Master Zuo Ci to help them remove the immobilization technique. If they stay here all the time, they will inevitably be laughed at by outsiders. I cannot do anything that chills the hearts of my brothers.
Chen Yong will definitely do his best to take good care of every one of his brothers!"
At this time, Pei Yuanshaozheng rushed over with dozens of soldiers. When Zhou Cang saw it, he was even more grateful for Chen Yong's kindness. He knew how important it was to have a coach with brothers in his heart, so he was very grateful to the team.
The command was handed over to master and apprentice Chen Yong, and there was no need to worry about it.
Zhou Cang returned to the mountains and forests with everyone to gather the soldiers and horses of the Yellow Turban Army. Soon more than a thousand Yellow Turban Army soldiers had left the mountains and forests, and bonfires were lit in the open spaces on both sides of the road. These Yellow Turban Army soldiers passed by
Word of mouth spreads, and everyone is full of curiosity about the abilities of Master Zuo Cixian. They are also looking forward to what kind of "wine and food" Master Zuo Cixian can bring to everyone in the future!
Looking at Taoist Zuo Ci again, he had brought Chen Yong and Liu Xing to a bonfire of the Yellow Turban Army. Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang hurriedly came out to greet them.
I saw Taoist Zuo Ci taking out a bucket of wine and a small stick of dried meat from his sleeve. He looked at Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao who came out and said: "Wuliang Tianzun, two generals, why don't you bring Pindao to see you soon?"
Too many soldiers? Pindao has prepared fine wine and bacon. I want to have a big banquet for the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army. I invite you all tonight. Be sure to eat and drink well and get drunk before resting!"
Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang looked at each other. They looked at Taoist Zuo Ci and said: "Master Immortal, this bucket of wine and a small stick of dried meat can't even feed both of us. How can we entertain the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army? Here?
But what about the more than a thousand soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army? Moreover, everyone has been hungry for almost two days, and a cow is only enough to stuff their teeth. What does the little thing you bring out count?"
Taoist Zuo Ci said: "Two generals, please rest assured. Pindao personally pours wine and cuts meat for each Yellow Turban soldier. I guarantee that everyone can have wine and meat! And I will make sure everyone is well fed and drunk."
