Chapter 471 The great Han must perish
Chapter 470: The great Han must perish
The old man is Xiang Yan, Xiang Yu's grandfather. Although Xiang Yu is a sinner of the Yellow Turban, he has nothing to do with Xiang Yan.
As one of the only generals of the Yellow Turbans, Xiang Yan was naturally among the leaving team, and Zhang Jiao did not expect that he did not leave.
Looking at the smoke and dust not far away, Xiang Yan smiled lightly and said: "My lord, you haven't left yet, how can the general abandon my lord and run away?"
Xiang Yan has never called Zhang Jiao Lord, and the two of them have always addressed each other with honorifics, but now they directly call Zhang Jiao Lord, which shows that Xiang Yan has truly identified with Zhang Jiao.
Zhang Jiao endured the emotion in his heart and smiled bitterly: "Brother Yan, how will you face the future situation if you are not in Sheng'er?"
"Girl Sheng'er has Zhu Yuanzhang by her side, so there won't be any accidents. Besides, the general is also old. The current Yellow Turban is the same with or without me."
It’s not that no one in the Yellow Turbans knows Zhang Sheng’s identity, it’s just that very few people know it, and Xiang Yan is one of the very few. This shows that Zhang Jiao still trusts Xiang Yan.
"I heard that the road to Huangquan is very lonely. I can't bear my master walking alone, so I came to accompany him on the journey."
Xiang Yan said with a smile, he did not have the slightest fear in the face of death, but instead felt a sense of relief.
It is true that their ancestors and grandchildren have made great contributions to the Yellow Turbans, but this failure is mainly due to Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yan felt extremely guilty about Zhang Jue, and Xiang Yu still didn't know whether he was alive or dead, so he had the idea of committing suicide.
“Brother Yan, why are you doing this?”
Xiang Yan smiled nonchalantly and said, "My lord, you don't think I'm the only one left here, do you?"
Zhang Jiao was stunned for a moment and said in shock: "Could it be that..."
“My lord, there is also me, Lao Xu.”
Xu Ding walked out with a silly smile. Zhang Jiao was stunned when he saw this and said, "Xu Ding? Even you..."
Before Zhang Jiao finished speaking, he saw more than ten people walking out one after another. Looking at these familiar faces, Zhang Jiao suddenly trembled with anger.
“Master.”
“Lord.”
“Good teacher.”
“We didn’t leave, we came back voluntarily.”
“Master, let us fight alongside you.”
“Yeah, I fought with that big son of a bitch.”
“My lord, I will be your old soldier in the next life.”
…
These people are the essence of the Yellow Turbans. With them in the Yellow Turbans, there will be no chaos.
Zhang Jiao finally sent them away, but they ran back on their own. Zhang Jiao was so angry that he could not speak.
After hearing what everyone said to each other, Zhang Jiao felt moved and angry at the same time.
“You, you guys?”
Looking at the few people left behind, Zhang Jiao suppressed the emotion in his heart and said angrily: "You all come back, what will happen to the Yellow Turbans? Are they broken? I am really angry to death."
Hearing this, Xu Ding defended himself and said: "My lord, the young master has Lao Dian and Zhu Shuai to assist him, so he will definitely be fine."
"You, I...hey!" Zhang Jiao pointed at everyone helplessly, and all his anger finally turned into a sigh.
Xiang Yan and others have returned to the capital. Moreover, the Han army is about to arrive. It is impossible to leave at this time even if they want to.
“You fools.”
————
Liu Hong, surrounded by a large group of Han generals, finally arrived at the gate of the palace, and what he heard and saw along the way made the generals have mixed feelings.
Luoyang is the old capital, and they also brought life-saving food to the people of Luoyang, but the people looked at them with disgust.
Yue Fei, Cao Cao and other people who still had illusions about the Han Dynasty all had painful expressions on their faces after seeing this scene, and their faith in their hearts was gradually shaken.
Xue Rengui, Su Dingfang and other people who did not have much loyalty to the Han Dynasty showed deep contemplation and understood that a change of dynasty was probably not far away.
As for the two peerless commanders Bai Qi and Han Xin, both of them looked indifferent. In their eyes, the grassroots people were just ants.
As the emperor, Liu Hong was not affected at all. After all, if he cared about the life and death of the people, how could he adopt such a strategy as "trapping the dragon" that harmed the harmony of heaven and earth.
It's so cold. With such an emperor, it would be strange if the Han Dynasty did not die! Qin Hao thought secretly.
Looking at the haggard-looking Zhang Jue on the tower, Liu Hong felt so happy that he immediately shouted to Zhang Jue on the tower:
“You are a demon, you are inciting the people to rebel, causing the world to be devastated. How long will it take for you to be captured without restraint?”
Zhang Jiao looked at Liu Hong and asked with a mocking look on his face: "Liu Hong, you only said that I bewitched the people, but do you know why the people were bewitched by me?"
A trace of anger flashed in Liu Hong's eyes, and he snorted coldly: "Huh, the ignorant people in the countryside cannot be educated and don't know loyalty. That's why they fell into the trap of a monster like you."
Zhang Jiao was so angry that he cursed loudly: "You are a shameless and foolish king. You favor traitors, suppress loyal officials, indulge aristocratic families, and sell off officials and titles. If the people are not really unable to survive, how can they rise up against you and risk annihilation of their clans?"
You put all the faults on me, but you didn't say a word about your own stupidity and incompetence. I have never seen such a shameless person. "
Zhang Jiao spoke like a fool. Liu Hong turned blue with anger and said angrily: "You are talking nonsense, shut up."
Zhang Jiao naturally ignored it and continued to curse: "The tyranny of the Han Dynasty has caused the whole world to rebel, but you are such a foolish king. Not only do you not know how to correct your mistakes, but you make them worse.
In order to defeat me this time, I even used Sizhou as bait. Do you know how many people in Sizhou starved to death? How many people starved to death in Luoyang?
Have you ever felt the slightest bit of guilt in your heart, you fool?
I did lose this time, but you, Liu Hong, didn't win either.
The current Han Dynasty, just like the Great Qin Dynasty four hundred years ago, has completely lost the support of the people in the world and is no longer worthy of continuing to sit on the sacred weapon of the country. "
When he heard Zhang Jue say that the Han Dynasty must perish, Liu Hong seemed to have been stabbed in the wound. He shouted with red eyes: "Shut up, you demon. If you don't shut up, I will punish your nine tribes."
Zhang Jue smiled disdainfully and said coldly: "Even if I die, even if the Yellow Turbans are defeated, as long as you, the foolish king, are in power and the Han's shortcomings are not eliminated, there will still be people who will stand up and continue to resist. Sooner or later, the Han will perish. ”
Down the city tower, all the Han generals were shocked after hearing Zhang Jue's words that "the Han Dynasty must perish".
Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, Sun Jian, Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan and others, who are not outstanding figures in the world, naturally know that what Zhang Jue said is true.
And talented people like Li Shimin, Zhao Kuangyin, and Yang Jian were destined to follow the path of kings from the time they were born, so even if the Han Dynasty was in peace and prosperity, they would still have the foundation of the Han Dynasty.
Now Zhang Jiao has made these words clear in order to stimulate the ambition in these people's hearts.
Any person with a bit of ambition will silently consider the future path when he understands that the government is about to change.
After Zhang Jiao's death, the princes will be enfeoffed, and the age of princes will truly come.
