Chapter 181 The saint is gone(1/2)
Under Zhang Liang's cover, the Yellow Turban Army fled back to the camp in shame.
This battle caused seven powerful generals to be damaged and more than ten thousand troops were damaged. It can be said that it was a crushing defeat.
Zhang Liang did not blame the generals too much, they had already tried their best.
The reason why I can't beat it is because the difference in hard power is too huge.
Although the Yellow Turban Army has a large number of soldiers, both the elite level of soldiers and the weapons and equipment were completely crushed by the Yangzhou Army.
Especially in terms of the quality of the general, even a little kid on the other side can slaughter his old generals at will. How can you fight this battle?
"It seems that you can only use Taoism." Zhang Liang sighed in his barracks with a complicated expression.
To be honest, Zhang Liang really doesn't want to use Taoism to fight the enemy.
It has been written very clearly in "The Strategy of Taiping" that the more you do good deeds, the better.
However, if you use Taoism to deal with ordinary people who do not know Taoism, it will be unwilling to the heavenly way.
At the least, bad luck will be plagued by it, and at the worst, death will disappear.
Therefore, even Zhang Jiao, who is well-versed in Taoism, dared not try the Dharma easily. Their Taiping Dao mainly uses Taoism to do good deeds to win the hearts of the people.
At most, use Taoism to train some special troops to fight the enemy.
Just when Zhang Liang was struggling, his personal guard general Zhang Baique walked into the barracks in dismay:
"The human being, the last person will be guilty, the saint..."
Zhang Liang was in a bad mood. When he heard Zhang Baique say something was wrong with his baby niece, his forehead suddenly burst into veins.
He tried his best to suppress his anger and asked Zhang Baique:
"What's wrong with the Saint? Say!"
Zhang Baique looked at Zhang Liang, who was usually gentle and elegant, and said terrified:
"Saint, she is gone..."
Zhang Liang was furious when he heard this and roared at Zhang Baique:
"It's gone?! Such a big living person can make you lose it?!
If you look for it, you must find the saint for me even if you dig three feet into the ground!"
It would be fine if the soldiers were damaged and the generals were lost. If Zhang Liang lost his niece, he would be shameless to see his elder brother Zhang Jiao again.
Zhang Baique said stutteringly:
"Human, don't look for it anymore. The saint left you a letter..."
Zhang Liang said anxiously: "Where is the letter? Take it over and I'll take it!"
Zhang Baique did not dare to neglect, so he quickly respectfully handed the letter in his hand to Zhang Liang.
The content on the letter is very simple:
Uncle San, I am so bored in the camp.
Anyway, I don’t need to participate in the war. I’ll go to Shouchun to find Mr. Lu to play!
Don’t worry about me, I’m so powerful, I’ll come back after I’ve had enough fun in Shouchun.
After reading the letter, Zhang Liang kneaded the letters in his hand into a ball.
His face turned pale and he said in a cold voice:
"Yuan Shu! I will never give up if I don't take Shouchun!"
If Yuan Shu saw Zhang Liang's current irritable state, he would definitely complain that he was wronged.
It was your niece who took the initiative to come to Shouchun to find me, but it was not the one who kidnapped her.
What are you trying to get with me?
...
In the evening, the commercial street in Shouchun City was still in a prosperous scene.
Although the Yellow Turban Army attacked Shouchun, the people of Shouchun had great confidence in Yuan Shu.
Basically, he does whatever he should do, without any panic.
In Wanshan Restaurant in Shouchun City, it is more lively than usual.
The leaders of the Yellow Turban Army could not have imagined that their arrival not only did not scare the people in the city, but instead gave them an extra program after dinner.
There is a stage inside Wanshan Restaurant, and the restaurant often holds some singing and dancing performances on the stage to attract high-ranking officials and nobles.
But at this moment, there was a storyteller standing on the stage. He was passionate and spitting out:
"When the Yellow Turban Thief attacked the city, arrows on the city were like rain, and thousands of thieves were killed in an instant!
The thief chief Li Damu was furious when he saw this and personally led his army to attack the city.
Li Damu quickly climbed up to the city with his excellent martial arts skills.
Just as he was about to climb up the city tower, General Huang Hansheng, the chief general of Qilin Guard, drew his bow and arrow, hitting the enemy chief's throat with one arrow!"
When the storyteller talked about this, he slapped the gavel and the diners in the restaurant applauded:
"Okay! Good ejaculation!"
"General Huang is really a sharp shot!"
"Qilin Guard is mighty!"
Just when the atmosphere in the restaurant was warm, a graceful figure walked in from outside the door.
The waiter saw the little girl wearing blue and beautiful blue, looking like a lady from a rich family.
He quickly went up to him in a flattering manner and asked:
"Is this girl here to have a meal?"
The girl replied a little nervously:
"No, I'll find someone..."
The waiter asked in confusion:
"Why are the girl looking for a guest in the restaurant?
Do you know which table you are from? I'll ask for it."
The little girl shook her head and said:
"No, I'm here to find a young man named Lu.
His surname is Lu, his name is Gong, and his courtesy name is Shuyuan. (Note 1)
He told me before that you can find him when you come to Shouchun and Wanshan Restaurant..."
The waiter was shocked when he heard this.
The restaurant owner personally told him that if someone comes to Mr. Lu, he must report to him immediately and not neglect him.
He said respectfully to the girl:
"Please wait, girl, I'll go and help you find this young master Lu."
Yuan Shu was drinking in the restaurant with Xi Zhicai at this time.
What the storyteller said on the stage was originally written by him, and this time he came mainly to see the effect.
In the past two days, Zhang Liang was defeated and written these popular stories into novels can be extremely inspiring.
By the way, it can also enrich the spare time of the people in Shouchun.
Now it seems that the effect is really good.
Yuan Shu was in high spirits when he listened to the book. The shopkeeper of Wanshan Restaurant walked into the private room and reported to Yuan Shu respectfully:
"Lord, the person you told me to pay attention to has arrived.
He is a young and beautiful girl, and he is looking for Mr. Lu to name him."
The shopkeeper of Wanshan Restaurant is also an elite team leader of the Ancient Department, who is responsible for the management and intelligence collection of the restaurant.
Yuan Shu was surprised after hearing his words.
Zhang Ning, why is she here?
The only one who knows Mr. Lu’s vest is Uncle and Nephew Zhang Liang.
Zhang Ning must be the one who can be called a beautiful woman by the shopkeeper.
Now that the two armies are fighting fiercely, isn’t she afraid that she will detain her and threaten Zhang Liang?
Xi Zhicai, who was standing beside him, looked at Yuan Shu's confused expression and said with a smile:
"Lord, I guess this girl doesn't know your true identity until today.
This little girl came to find her lord at risk, and she should have a good impression of her lord.”
