Luo Xiao was like a ghost, he followed Zhang Jue away, but no one saw him.
There is a mysterious Taoist master in the Taiping Tao who is a friend of the great sage and mentor. It is said that he is as handsome and refined as a god, but this is only limited to word of mouth.
Luo knew that he was still alive based on the connection between the stigmata, but that was all. Luo Xiao had not returned to Zhaocheng for a long time.
The Luo clan members in Zhaocheng all had their own careers to do, studying classics, offering sacrifices to King Su, and managing their country, but Luo Xiao couldn't sit still.
There was always a voice in his heart telling him that he had more important things to do.
He is no ordinary Luo's son!
He carries destiny and is the heir favored by both God and ancestors.
He wants to do some key things for the world and for his family.
In his more than thirty years of life, he was alone. Apart from relatives in his family, he had not spoken to more than a hundred people.
He has no wife, no children, and no friends. Only Zhang Jiao, a man with Taoist skills, can catch his eye.
Luo Xiao believes that Zhang Jiao's Taiping Road is probably his destiny.
So he has been watching Taiping Dao, watching it grow from a small Taoist group to a huge organization with hundreds of thousands of Taoist soldiers. Its reputation among the people far exceeds that of the court and powerful people, and it is fair and just. symbol.
By that time, Luo Xiao knew that Taiping Dao would rebel sooner or later. The political goals of Taiping Dao and the imperial court were different, and these two organizations would collide sooner or later.
He always did things according to his own heart. He told Zhang Jue the reality nakedly because his heart told him that Zhang Jue must abandon his illusions and prepare to fight.
So now, where will Taipingdao and Zhangjiao go?
Where will he go?
he does not know.
But it’s just following your heart.
…
Luo Xiao was sitting cross-legged in the military tent, wearing a Taoist robe. The Taoist robe worn on him, combined with the sacred marks between his eyebrows, gave him a sense of ecstasy. He was mumbling words, as if he was chanting through.
Zhang Jiao opened the military tent and walked straight in, with a trace of solemnity on his face. Luo Xiao still closed his eyes, but as if he could feel Zhang Jiao's emotions, he stopped chanting and asked: "Julu, you I was busy with the Taiping Army, but I still had the energy to come here.
But the progress of the uprising is not going smoothly?
Is it different from what I said before? "
Zhang Jiao sat opposite Luo Xiao and sighed slightly: "It's exactly as you said before, Zi Ling.
Because of the report by the traitor in Tang and Zhou Dynasty, our army's uprising was too hasty. Some states and counties were even strangled before they could react. After the uprising, it was difficult for the states and counties to coordinate.
Especially the brothers within the eight passes of Luoyang, because of poor news, did not have time to retreat, suffered heavy losses, and were unable to raid Luoyang immediately.
Now the emperor of the Han Dynasty reacted, and he let the Knights of Sanhe and Orphan Yulin join the battlefield.
This Sanhe Yulin is truly worthy of being a forbidden army. It is a bit too strong. The brothers who broke into Hanoi County and Hedong County were defeated.
The imperial court also restored Huangfu Song as the commander-in-chief. As Zi Ling said, he was an unparalleled commander. He was a superior commander in terms of military command and strategy. He led a group of county soldiers, and his brothers were no match for him.
If he is asked to command Mikawa Habayashi, I'm afraid I will have to go into battle myself. "
When talking about Huangfu Song, Zhang Jiao glanced at Luo Xiao, because this was a character Luo Xiao had specifically told him about, and he was the one to focus on.
Huangfu Song.
In Luo Xiao's opinion, today's Han Dynasty can be regarded as a kind of figure who can prosper the country, especially in troubled times.
In the last years of the Ruzi Emperor of the Han Dynasty, Wang Mang disrupted the government and the Central Plains was in chaos.
The four counties in Hexi of the Liangzhou Governor's Department were also divided by warlords, not to mention the more distant Western Regions.
The princes and kings of the Liu family with blood from the Western Regions, mainly King Dayuandong and King Wusun, all listened to the tune but not the declaration, and even wanted to directly separate the kingdom.
Faced with this situation, Marquis Wushuang could only exploit the big and let go of the small, and first focus on stabilizing the rule of the Xia in the Western Region. He could not start fighting among the Xia countries and let outsiders pick the peaches.
As long as these Liu clan princes and princes do not turn Xia into barbarians, they will turn a blind eye.
Liu Xiu quickly rose to power and became the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
There is no record in any history books that Liu Xiu actually went to the Mausoleum of King Su to worship, but the inscription to worship heaven was directly turned into ashes.
King Su doesn't agree, he failed to become the son of Zhuxia!
At that time, everyone was extremely frightened.
The Yinghou stood up and said that this was because the Han Dynasty was under orders again.
When he was appointed, he needed to unify all the Xia in the Central Plains. Liu Xiu had not yet unified the world, so he could not be the emperor.
So Liu Xiu immediately burst into fighting spirit and began to wipe out the warlords in the country. It took him ten years to completely reunite the Central Plains.
After the world was reunified, Liu Xiu finally went to the tomb of King Su, and received the title of Prince of the Heavens, becoming the one destined for destiny.
Liaodong and the Western Regions all surrendered under his name.
The four counties of Hexi in Liangzhou were relatively peaceful when he was the emperor, but soon the court fell into a situation of sluggish imperial power.
Those areas that were pacified by Liu Xiu's personal force began repeated tug-of-war.
Huangfusong rose from the battlefield in Liangzhou. He was brave and capable of firing a strong bow and fought his way out of the battlefield in Guanxi.
He put down the Liangzhou rebellion twice and killed many people in the four counties of Hexi, including not only natives but also Han people. He also crossed the Dunhuang County to intimidate the Western Regions, and now the Western Regions have always surrendered.
Chen Fan went to the land of Youbin to contain the Dongyan Kingdom, and also selected Huangfu Song as his commander-in-chief.
However, such a person has been resurrected and deposed many times, and now he is just a prefect with two thousand dan.
This position, unattainable to many, was more of an insult to him.
If it hadn't been for the Taiping uprising, he might have spent the rest of his life as a prefect.
Luo had a high opinion of Huangfu Song's ability and believed that he was one of the few commanders who had the ability to command large armies after being in the Han Dynasty for three hundred years.
Even throughout history, among the ranks of generals, his commanding ability should be at the forefront.
After Zhang Jiao decided to start an uprising, Luo Xiao listed for him all the more capable figures in the Han court.
In the later Han Dynasty, which was good at bragging, there was a difference between being prestigious and having ability. If Zhang Jiao accidentally capsized in the gutter, there was a high possibility that his boat would capsize.
Zhang Jiao still remembers Luo Xiao's evaluation of Huangfu Song as "a great general of the country, quite similar to Zhang Han."
Zhang Han!
Although not many people know him, Zhang Jiao is not illiterate.
The white jade pillar holding the sky in the late Qin Dynasty, the king of Qin with a different surname who was canonized by Emperor Fusu.
The rebels in the world suffered terribly. Since their debut, they have only lost to four people: King Zhaosheng, King Xiang, Marquis Wumu of Huaiyin, and Emperor Gao.
A veritable fifth in the world!
How valuable is this fifth person in the world? In other eras, he could have revived the Qin Dynasty.
Because the other three were at the level of a monarch, he was evaluated in historical records as "Han Baizhiya."
In the Han Dynasty, the generals who could establish a relationship with Huaiyin Wu Muhou were all gods.
How could it not be shocking that Huangfu Song could get this evaluation? Now that he was about to stand opposite the Taiping Army, how could he not be shocked by Zhang Jiao.
Luo Xiao was not surprised by the current situation of the Taiping Army and said calmly: "As I said, Han Ting's strength is not as weak as you thought.
The advantages of the Taiping Army are the strength of their numbers and the high momentum brought by justice.
The disadvantage is that there are too few people who have the ability to lead troops and can act independently.
In this world, the truth will eventually be seen on the battlefield.
You must achieve sufficient results just when your righteousness is at its strongest and when the Han Dynasty is most unprepared.
Only in this way can there be a glimmer of hope, and only in this way can Han Ting be inflicted the greatest damage and prevent Han Ting from turning over. "
Luo Xiao's words were full of a confusing tone.
Between him and Zhang Jiao, Luo Xiao was more like the religious leader with his highly inflammatory remarks and tone.
Zhang Jue nodded repeatedly after hearing this. All Luo Xiao's words were spoken in his heart. Thinking back to these days, he sighed slightly: "If Taiping Dao was established by Zi Ling, I'm afraid millions of believers would not care about it. If it was for righteousness, Under your leadership, Zi Ling, the Han Dynasty will be destroyed in an instant. If you had Zi Ling to govern this world, these people would not live in such hardship."
Luo Xiao's eyes were still closed when he heard this. He was praised by the whole world without persuading him, and he was criticized by the whole world without being upset. His mood did not fluctuate at all. He just said lightly: "There are people in this world who can go against heaven, but there is no one in this world." Mortals can go against destiny.
Do your best and obey destiny.
that is it.
Even if I do it, that's all. "
Zhang Jue's extremely serious voice sounded, "No, Zi Ling, you are different. Although I don't understand, I have a feeling that if it were you, this act of justice would be extremely different!"
Luo Xiao suddenly opened his eyes, and the two looked at each other without any smile or joke. It took a long time for Luo Xiao to say: "Julu, put away all your thoughts.
No one in heaven or on earth can put thoughts on me except King Su. "
Zhang Jiao looked deeply at Luo Xiao, then laughed softly, and finally laughed wildly.
"Zi Ling, Mr. Zi Ling!
I got you! "
Luo Xiao's brows furrowed deeply, and he felt a qi fall on him, which was a little heavy.
————
The main factor why the "Taiping Uprising" was more just than the "Dazexiang Uprising" lies in the political goals of the "Taiping Uprising".
This was the first rebel military regime to call for the establishment of an insurgent regime in which "everyone is equal, without hunger, cold, oppression, or injustice."
In the ancient period of monarchical absolutism, this was such a valuable spirit. ——"Commemorating the 1,700th Anniversary of the Outbreak of the "Taiping Uprising""
