After Ye Huatong received the mission, he immediately led Tang Lin's army to rush to the outskirts of Julu City non-stop. Most of these Tang Lin's troops were the original elites of the Ye family. The reason why Yu Yi sent Ye Huatong was because she was born and raised in Julu City. People are more familiar with the geographical conditions here.
Ye Huatong also fulfilled her mission. She killed all the suspicious Taoist priests who went out from the four city gates without leaving any trace. However, during the execution process, she found that the number was sparse, and she deduced that it was still a step too late. Zhang Jiao's infectious army had already penetrated all over the country, so she wrote a letter about the situation and gave it to Ye Fei, asking him to send it back to Daoxiang Village, while she continued to stay near Julu City to observe the situation.
"What should I do? Now that I'm being focused on?"
Zhong Ming opened the door a little and found that there were officers and soldiers outside, looking panicked.
"Yes, not only the door, but also our escort agency is surrounded by officers and soldiers."
Zhong Heng observed Zhong Ming's movements and added.
It turned out that Zhong Heng walked around the yard in his free time and sorted out the more detailed situation.
"Well, did Zhang Jiao know about the information we sent to Daoxiang Village?"
Zhong Ming thought for a moment, with a scared expression on his face.
"I thought so at first, but it's been several days, and the officers and soldiers outside still haven't done anything. I guess it's not the case."
Zhong Heng smiled.
"Now we can't go out, and the information can't be passed on. The outside is heavily guarded, and we don't know what Zhang Jiao wants or what we should do."
Zhong Ming sighed, seemingly reaching a desperate situation.
"Hey, I can only wait and see what happens."
Zhong Heng sighed, he couldn't think of a better way.
Ye Fei traveled day and night and soon arrived at Daoxiang Village. He reported the situation to Li Qingsheng and Yu Yi. Yu Yi nodded and asked him to eat and rest first.
"It seems that we cannot stop this historical torrent and can only adapt to circumstances."
It was amazing that Yu Yi left these words in the crowd.
After Yu Yi returned to his room, he kept reflecting on his acquaintance with Zhang Jiao. He did not expect that when they met for the first time, he became an enemy because of a choice. Later, he stopped the golden uprising and missed the best opportunity. He fell into a trap. In this paradox, can history really not be changed?
Finally, a week later, the disease that broke out across the country was easily resolved by the Taiping Taoists who appeared in various places. Following this, a large number of Taiping Taoists emerged. They respected Zhang Jiao as a great sage and mentor. Many believers wanted to get better. When opportunities came to preach, they all spontaneously went to Julu City. The number of Taiping Taoists in various places was also growing, and management issues became a top priority.
After Zhang Jiao realized this problem, he called out his brothers Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao at home. As for Huang Wenjie, in the dead of night, Zhang Jiao felt that he was of no use anymore, so he controlled him and committed suicide. , it was claimed to the outside world that Huang Wenjie suffered from a strange disease and died that night. Before his death, he passed the county magistrate to Zhang Jiao. His brother was also promoted to a key department of Julu County Yamen after he concurrently served as county magistrate. .
Seeing the large number of followers of Taiping Dao, the three brothers of the Zhang family discussed and came up with a plan.
Based on the existing number of Taiping Taoist believers, thirty-six square formations were set up. The large square formations were in units of 100,000 people, and the small square formations were in units of six to seven thousand people. Each square formation set up a commander, called a general. .
On the second day, he reviewed the congregations from all over the country in Julu City. He was very sure of everyone's learning attitude, but also pointed out some shortcomings. On that day, he reiterated the highest doctrine of Taiping Tao, which is: "Heaven has already If you die, Huang Tian will stand; if you are born in Jiazi, the world will be prosperous."
That day, there was a lot of commotion in the city. Ye Huantong's troops outside the city had been looking for opportunities to collect relevant information. Finally, in a gap, they caught a newly joined Taiping Dao believer. Fortunately, this believer was not deeply involved in the religion. With some help from Ye Huatong, the situation was finally explained.
Ye Huatong immediately judged some changes in the situation from his narrative, and realized that there was no point in staying in Julu City. He killed the man directly, threw his body on the roadside, and led Tang Lin's army back to Daoxiang Village.
After Zhang Jiao finished preaching on the spot, he did another thing. He ordered the officers and soldiers of Julu City, as well as the new believers who entered Julu City, to write the word "Jia Zi" in white clay on the gates of the common people overnight. I came across the content he was promoting unexpectedly.
Due to the influence of the mainstream public opinion and the inexplicable appearance of the word "Jia Zi" in front of the door, the working people in the already unstable society instantly gained new reliance and belief. They really believed that Zhang Jiao of Taiping Road was sent to earth by God. Those who had come to rescue people in need immediately went to Taiping Road. For a time, every household in the eight states of Qing, You, Xu, Ji, Jing, Yang, Yan, and Henan worshiped the name of the great sage Zhang Jiao. Zhang Jiao's personal status was promoted to a new level.
At this time, the court was still a peaceful mirror image. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was still in the palace, and some upright ministers wanted to enter the palace to explain the affairs of Taiping Road, but they were blocked by the eunuchs in power. In the court hall, everyone was The ministers were talking a lot, all discussing the peaceful way among the people. Some ministers suggested that they should be eliminated in the cradle, otherwise there will be endless troubles. However, some people in power thought that they were just some thieves. The local government was enough to deal with it, and they could just use this Opportunity to reduce the local military strength and reduce the threat to the imperial court. What is going on? After all, there is no leader and no one can make a conclusion.
In Daoxiang Village, Ye Huatong led Tang Lin's army back, and Yu Yi and everyone personally greeted him at the door. The formation was very large. This was what Yu Yi deliberately requested before Ye Huatong returned. Moreover, he also set the rules for the importance of Daoxiang Village. Generals must be welcomed by all members to show respect. For elderly veterans who have made contributions to Daoxiang Village, the village chief should lead the leadership team to visit their homes once a year.
Ye Huatong briefly explained the situation. She had only been on duty outside Julu City for a few days and found that there were no suspicious persons. Then she caught a Taiping Dao cultist and asked some questions.
After Ye Huatong recited it, Yu Yi closed his eyes and said, "You shouldn't be so impulsive. You want to come back alive. What if it's a counter-intentional plan by the other party?"
Ye Huatong slapped the back of his head, realizing his mistake and quickly expressed his apology.
Yu Yi signaled Ye Huatong and everyone to sit down and immediately analyzed the situation.
Now a large number of Taiping Taoists have gone to Julu, which proves that Zhang Jiao's preliminary work has been completed, Ye Huatong's judgment is correct, and there is no way back to guard Julu to intercept and kill people infected with the disease.
