The Han army on Chen Liu's side was busy preparing for war all day long. They looked busy and were always alert to the Yellow Turban attack. Little did they know that the Yellow Turban was also very busy now and was in no mood to deal with the Han army.
Yanzhou, Dongjun, Puyang.
As the administrative seat of Yanzhou, Puyang can naturally be regarded as one of the largest cities in Yanzhou. However, the Yellow Turbans now have hundreds of thousands of troops, which is even more than the population of one county. It is naturally impossible for the Yellow Turbans to place all their troops in one county of Dongjun, but disperse them among the three surrounding counties. middle. Of course, the headquarters of the Yellow Turbans is temporarily located in Puyang, East County.
"Tell me, what happened to the great virtuous master?" Zhang Dingbian, who was a little impatient, immediately grabbed a middle-aged man dressed as a doctor and asked urgently.
And at the moment when Zhang Dingbian asked, several more figures immediately surrounded him, eagerly waiting for the doctor's answer. Obviously, these people were not as anxious as Zhang Dingbian.
In fact, in the original history, Zhang Jiao had been dead of illness for a long time at this time, and the Yellow Turbans also completely fell into ruin after Zhang Jiao's death. Although in this world, the Yellow Turbans have a group of capable people such as Chi You, Zhang Dingbian, and Li Yan to help them, and the development of the Yellow Turbans in this world is much smoother than in the original history, resulting in Zhang Jiao's current situation. Although he was living well, Zhang Jiao had always had some problems with his body.
Originally, although Zhang Jiao had some physical problems, there was no problem for Zhang Jiao to continue to persevere. But in the previous battle, Zhang Jiao's activation of Huang Tian's skills caused Zhang Jiao to lose two years of his life, causing great losses and burdens to Zhang Jiao's body.
What's more serious is that the Yellow Turbans at that time had suffered a major defeat and were in the process of retreating. As the leader of the entire Yellow Turbans, Zhang Jiao naturally had a heavy sense of responsibility. In order not to affect the army's schedule, he evacuated to Yanzhou as soon as possible, and to avoid being overtaken by the Han army who had recovered their breath, Zhang Jiao forcibly suppressed his illness. , did not announce it to anyone, and has been struggling to support it alone.
Of course, the Yellow Turbans finally withdrew into Yanzhou without any danger, but although the Yellow Turban army was safe, the price Zhang Jiao paid was not small. The 100,000 troops that had withdrawn from Jizhou had just joined Zhang Dingbian's troops in Yanzhou, and Zhang Jiao fainted and died in the tent.
Under the side effects of Huang Tian's skills, Zhang Jiao's long-standing physical problems exploded. Coupled with the high-intensity march for more than ten consecutive days, Zhang Jiao, who had not received timely treatment, could no longer hold on.
"Qi Shuai, the great virtuous teacher, the great virtuous teacher..."
"Speak quickly!" Seeing the doctor hesitating, Chi You yelled impatiently.
Both Zhang Dingbian and Chi You were orphans, and they were adopted by Zhang Jiao at the right time. Although he was only an adopted son in name, Zhang Jiao regarded the two of them as his own and definitely raised them as his biological sons.
Efforts will always be rewarded. Zhang Dingbian and Chi You also regarded Zhang Jiao as their own father, treated him respectfully, and tried their best to help Zhang Jiao develop the Yellow Turbans to fight against the Han Dynasty. But this time Zhang Jiaodi suddenly fell ill, which made these two people anxious.
Under the intimidation of Chi You and Zhang Dingbian, the doctor finally replied cautiously, "Let me tell you, the great virtuous teacher, that his body is seriously depleted and is close to the point where the oil is almost exhausted. I'm afraid he still needs more help." It takes a long period of rest to force it out, force it out..."
Although the words were not finished, everyone present explained the meaning of the doctor's words. Involuntarily, everyone felt a layer of gloom in their hearts.
"But there is still a way to cure it." Chi You barely suppressed the eagerness in his heart and said.
"Here, I have little talent and little knowledge. I am really powerless..."
"Quack doctor." When Chi You heard that Zhang Jiao was so seriously ill this time, Chi You could barely control his emotions, but Zhang Dingbian couldn't. In desperation, he actually wanted to attack the doctor directly.
Zhang Dingbian is one of the most powerful generals in the world, and his martial arts has reached an unparalleled level. With one punch, even if the doctor survives, he is probably close to death.
"Stop...cough cough...cough cough..."
Just as Zhang Dingbian's fist was about to fall on the doctor, a weak voice suddenly came over.
Everyone looked up and saw that Zhang Jiao suddenly woke up. But at this time, Zhang Jiao's face was full of paleness and weakness, like a dying old man.
"Father."
"Father."
"Brother."
"Good teacher."
Several voices sounded in succession, and Zhang Ning, Chi You, Zhang Dingbian, Zhang Liang and others immediately rushed to Zhang Jiao, looking at Zhang Jiao with worried faces.
"My own body, ahem... I know what's going on. I can't blame others. Don't, ahem, don't embarrass others." Before Chi You and the others could say anything, Zhang Jiao was the first to speak with difficulty.
"I understand, foster father." Zhang Jue had already spoken, and Zhang Dingbian on the side could only nod in agreement. Moreover, Zhang Jue's condition was indeed not to blame on anyone else. He was indeed too impulsive just now. .
"Tell me how the war is going now."
Zhang Jiao is from a commoner background. As a person who was once at the bottom of society, Zhang Jiao has seen through the corruption of this society and the darkness of politics. The emperor favors traitors, suppresses loyal officials, indulges aristocratic families, and openly sells official positions, which leads to The people were in dire straits, so overthrowing the Han Dynasty had become Zhang Jiao's greatest wish in his life.
Therefore, although Zhang Jiao understood that his current physical condition was very bad, Zhang Jiao could not help but care about the war on the front line.
"Father, the Han army is now in Chenliu, and our army is..."
Finally, Chi Yu finally opened his mouth to briefly explain the current situation to Zhang Jiao. Chi You knew Zhang Jue very well. Chi You understood that if Zhang Jue did not get an answer, he might not be able to have a good rest today.
"Ahem, You'er, I won't go this time, and you will be the commander of the army." Zhang Jiao said weakly to Chi You who was standing beside him.
"Don't worry, adoptive father. The child will defeat the Han army for his adoptive father." Chi You replied firmly.
When everyone heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief. They were really afraid that Zhang Jiao would be in this situation and would want to go to the front line personally.
"Dingbian, third brother."
"Father." "Brother." Upon hearing Zhang Jiao's voice, Zhang Dingbian and Zhang Liang did not dare to neglect and responded immediately.
"Now that our army is defeated in Jizhou, Yanzhou must not be defeated again. This time, you two must fully assist You'er and win the Han army." Although Zhang Jiao's voice was extremely weak, it was extremely powerful. ordered firmly.
"promise."
