Chapter 373: The Terror of Seeking Holy Saints
Since he decided to fight, Zhang Jiao naturally had to make full preparations and come up with the strongest lineup.
The Yellow Turbans have suffered enough losses from the Qin family and his son, so Zhang Jiao cannot afford to miss this battle.
The time specified by Qin Wen for the battle was three days later, which gave the Yellow Turbans ample preparation time.
This engagement was just a small battle. The two sides stipulated that only 30,000 troops would be used for an upright battle.
The main issue with this small number of people is the training quality of the soldiers, while the commanding ability of the commander is slightly inferior.
The Yellow Turbans currently have two camps, the west and the north. Although Zhang Jiao's west camp has 500,000 troops, most of the elite soldiers and generals are concentrated in Xiang Yu's north camp, so this combat mission naturally falls on Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu also knew that Qin Wen had many elite soldiers and strong generals in the Han army, and in order to prevent himself from being unable to defeat the four-handed army with two fists, Xiang Yu borrowed Zhang Jiao's two generals to ensure the final victory.
With Xiang Yu, the king of field battles, Zhang Jiao is still very confident in this battle. After all, so far, no one has defeated Xiang Yu in a field battle.
The 300,000 Han troops, with a strength advantage of one to ten, cannot defeat Xiang Yu's 30,000 troops, let alone one on one now?
Yes, Xiang Yu suffered losses at the hands of Qin Hao more than once, but those were in terms of fighting generals, and Qin Hao still used "shameless" attrition warfare and wheel warfare, which no one else would be able to withstand.
Both Zhang Jiao and Xiang Yu seemed to have subconsciously chosen to forget that both Qin Hao and Qin Wen had defeated more with less than they had against the Yellow Turbans several times.
So the outcome of this battle is still hard to say!
After the pre-war meeting, Zhang Liang was left alone by Zhang Jiao.
Seeing no one around, Zhang Liang asked in a low voice: "Brother, is Ning'er really caught by Qin Hao?"
Zhang Jiao sighed and nodded slightly. After briefly describing what he knew, Zhang Jiao added:
“We have received accurate information. Qin Hao did not embarrass Ning’er, and he also said that he would let Ning’er go regardless of winning or losing after the war.”
Zhang Liang lowered his head and thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Did you hide Ning'er's identity privately? Qin Wen's son is quite interesting."
“Zifang, do you see anything? What does that kid Qin Hao want to do?” Zhang Jiao asked.
Zhang Liang smiled calmly and said: "It's very simple. Qin Hao's plan is nothing more than three points. First, he just wants to leave a way out for the family, so that no matter who wins or loses in the end, the Qin family can be alone."
Zhang Jiao nodded. He had also thought about this. He also thought that Qin Wen wanted to fight with him because he was a big man, but it did not mean that the entire Qin family wanted to fight with him.
It makes perfect sense that Qin Hao seeks a way out for his family.
“Secondly, this son is also very ambitious. Being Liu Hong’s son-in-law is not enough. He also wants to be my Zhang family’s son-in-law.”
Hearing this, Zhang Ning's expression turned a bit bad. Zhang Ning had already been promised to marry Xiang Yu, and his adopted daughter also fell in love with Qin Hao.
If Qin Hao really did what Zhang Liang said, it would be tantamount to playing with the feelings of his two daughters. How could Zhang Jiao's face improve?
“If Qin Hao dares to touch Ning’er, I will kill him.” Zhang Jiao said through gritted teeth.
"Brother, I have heard that there is a saying that 'the first sight of Qin Lang is a mistake for life'. What if Ning'er falls in love with Qin Hao instead, and the two of them even have children, what will you do?" Zhang Liang asked in a playful tone. "Forehead…"
Zhang Jue was suddenly speechless. He had met Qin Hao in person and knew how destructive Qin Hao's appearance was to women, especially girls, with his appearance that would bring disaster to the country and the people.
Out Out out out out of love to his daughter, or Qin Hao uses force, do he really want to kill his future grandson's biological father?
Seeing that his elder brother was in a conflict, Zhang Liang said again: "Brother, your vision is... It's not my younger brother who said you, look at the people you use, they are not as good as those of your previous apprentices.
Although they are a little less capable, they are more loyal than others. Although they all have outstanding abilities, they are all very ambitious. Do you want to dig holes for your future successors?
And why do you fall in love with Xiang Yu? Did you see that Ning'er was a little nervous after something happened? My own daughter also pushed into the fire pit, third brother, I have also convinced you..."
Zhang Liang became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke, pointing out many policy mistakes that Zhang Jue had made that he should not have made. However, he did not realize that the more he spoke, the darker Zhang Jue's face became.
“That’s enough.” Zhang Jiao shouted.
Seeing his brother getting angry, Zhang Liang was also frightened and shrank his neck, not daring to say anything more.
"Do you think I want to use ambitious people? Who doesn't like loyal disciples, but how many are left after the war? It's better to use people than to use no one. Besides, you, as a biological brother, don't even help me. Who else can we use besides their big brother?”
Nowadays, most of the Yellow Turban leaders are ambitious people. Zhang Jiao knows this, but Te has nothing to do, because Zhang Jiao has no one to use except them!
How can a group of loyal but mediocre subordinates defeat the Han Dynasty and the famous families in the world? So Zhang Jiao must use them.
Zhang Liang felt ashamed when he heard this. If he had fully assisted his elder brother from the beginning, many problems could have been avoided.
As a younger brother, I did not fully support my eldest brother at the first time, which put a lot of pressure on the eldest brother alone.
Zhang's conscience was full of regrets, regretting that he should have woken up earlier, but he didn't know that it was not his fault at all.
If Zhang Liang is really Zhang Jiao's brother, even if he knows that the Yellow Turbans will be defeated, he will definitely assist Zhang Jiao with all his strength, but who told him to be balanced out by the system halfway? It would be unreasonable not to implant memories into Zhang Liang. .
Zhang Jiao put his hands on Zhang Liang's shoulders and said seriously: "Zifang, you are the smartest among the three brothers. The eldest brother is old now and will soon be unable to hold on. If the eldest brother fails in the end, I hope You can find a way out for the Yellow Turbans."
Zhang Liang nodded and said seriously: "Brother, don't worry. With the current situation and the help of my third brother, the Yellow Turbans will definitely win."
"You kid..." Zhang Jiao laughed hoarsely, and then said: "Tell me about the third point!"
Zhang Liang suddenly looked solemn and said: "Thirdly, Qin Hao's move is probably to target Xiang Yu."
Seeking saints is seeking saints after all. 103 points of intelligence are really not a guarantee. In just a few words, Qin Hao's thoughts can be completely seen through.
Zhang Liang’s analysis is absolutely correct. Qin Hao captured Zhang Ning alive just to target Xiang Yu.
How could a man as arrogant as Xiang Yu allow his fiancée to fall into the hands of others, even if he didn't like it?
If Zhang Ning is in the hands of Qin Hao, Xiang Yu will definitely target Qin Hao subconsciously until Zhang Ning is rescued, and this will lead to Qin Hao's trap.
Let me explain to you, although the Yellow Turban Chapter is long, it is not that Liu Xiang is dragging out the number of words, but that he is using the entire Yellow Turban Chapter to build the world framework. In the Yellow Turban chapter, the princes and bosses that should appear, as well as all the foreshadowing, have been written down by Liuxiang. However, in the chapter about the Dong brothers fighting for hegemony, the pace will be much faster. This is to restrain first and then Young's way of writing. The protagonist was indeed suppressed very severely by the system in the early stage, but that was to set off the explosion in the later stage. I hope everyone understands!
