It was almost dusk, and a Yellow Turban Army was slowly advancing on the official road. With their steps, a towering city finally appeared on the horizon in the distance. The Yellow Turban team suddenly burst into cheers.

This Yellow Turban was the Guangzong Yellow Turban Army that broke out from Guangzong City. Huangfu Song did not seem to be in a hurry to eat the escaped Yellow Turban Army. Perhaps he was afraid of being ambushed by Zhang Liang, so the Yellow Turban Army finally left the Han army's vision after several days of rushing marching.

When Zhang Liang saw the city wall of Xia Quyang, he breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed. Several small mounds not far away also appeared in Xia Quyang's whistle cavalry.

Everyone was cheering, but no one knew that the Battle of Xia Quyang in history was more tragic than the Battle of Guangzong, and there was no chance to commit suicide by jumping into the river. After Huangfu Song defeated Guangzong's Yellow Turban in October, he met with the army of Guo Dian, the prefect of Julu in Tao in early November, and then went north to attack Zhang Bao stationed in Xia Quyang.

The Han army and the Yellow Turban army fought in Xiaquyang. The two sides fought fiercely for many days. The Han army defeated the Yellow Turban with a dignified formation, killed Zhang Bao, and captured more than 100,000 Yellow Turban people alive.

After the war, Huangfu Song also ordered the Han army to collect the bodies of the Yellow Turban Army and build a "Jingguan" in the south of Xiaquyang City to show his military achievements. Since then, the Yellow Turban Rebellion, which swept across the eight states of the Han Dynasty, caused chaos in the world, was quelled.

After finally escaping from Guangzong, he arrived in Xiaquyang again.

A team of people holding the "General of Earth" flag galloped from the official road.

"Third brother!"

Before he got closer, he heard Zhang Bao's shouting. Zhang Liang's gloomy face finally had a smile, and he rode his horse to meet him.

"Third brother, Guangzong has been besieged for many days. The reinforcements I sent were intercepted by Guo Dian. If there is no news about you again, I will give up Qu Yang and lead the troops to save you and your elder brother."

Hearing Zhang Bao lifted Zhang Jiao, Zhang Liang's face became ugly in an instant. Zhang Bao immediately noticed Zhang Liang's abnormality. He looked at Zhang Liang, opened his mouth, and tried hard to make a smile. His voice trembled: "Brother, are you okay?"

The Yellow Turban soldiers in the front row were silent and slowly moved away, revealing the carriage carrying Zhangjiao's coffin.

"Brother has already returned to Huang Tian."

Zhang Bao almost couldn't stand steadily when he saw the car driver. Zhang Liang quickly stepped forward and supported him.

·············

Zhang Bao, who heard the news of Zhang Jiao's death, was furious after being sad. At this time, including the 30,000 Yellow Turban soldiers brought by Zhang Liang, nearly 140,000 troops had gathered around Xiaquyang.

The whistle cavalry came out everywhere, and all the Qu Commanders and Simas near Xiaquyang were recalled to the city. The Yellow Turban Rebels around also received calls from Zhang Bao, and the Yellow Turbans from all over the country began to slowly move towards Xiaquyang.

One by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, was sent to dust, and camps were built by the Yellow Turban army. The major transportation routes to Xiaquyang, all the strategic areas were occupied by the Yellow Turbans.

The 140,000 troops in Xia Quyang were scattered around by Zhang Bao, and they were connected together. The entire Xia Quyang was defended by Zhang Bao and was airtight.

·············

At this time, the Han army led by Huangfu Song had also arrived in Tao to meet with Guo Dian, the prefect of Julu, and the two sides joined forces. Unlike in history, the Han army led by Huangfu Song suffered heavy losses in Guangzong City.

So the Han army around Guantao received the order from Huangfu Song, and a team of township soldiers and county soldiers began to drive to Julu under the leadership of their respective generals and schools.

At this time, Wutao was like a lake, and the Han troops around him were coming in bit by bit like streams. In the end, it would converge into the sea, turn into a red tide, and smash the yellow turbans in Xiaquyang into pieces. Everyone knew that the final battle was coming.

The famous generals who had suppressed rebellions in various places in history also gathered in Tao

·············

In a camp outside Xiaquyang City, the Yellow Turban auxiliary soldiers were busy building camp tents. Outside the camp, trenches were dug up and the horses were erected.

Teams of Yellow Turban Strongmen were walking back and forth in the camp. Outside a huge yellow tent, dozens of yellow angels in heavy armor stood, and Zhang Liang's yellow celestial flag was erected in front of the tent. This was Zhang Liang's residence.

At this time, Zhang Liang was sitting next to the desk in the tent and frowned and watched the "Taiping Jing" in his hand. A personal guard lifted the curtain and walked in and said, "Shi Shuai has arrived outside the tent."

After hearing this, Zhang Liang put down the "Taiping Jing" in his hand, smiled and waved: "Let him come in."

"No." The guard sang a promise and led Xu An to the tent.

"Disciple, please pay homage to Master." Xu An gave a bow to Zhang Liang after entering the tent.

"Sit down and talk." Zhang Liang pointed to the document beside him and was not in a hurry to speak. Xu An bowed again and sat next to Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang looked at the newly acquired disciple. If He Yi and Xu An had not come to pick him up in Guangzong's battle, he would have been trapped in Guangzong's city at this time and his head was built into Jingguan by Huangfu Song.

On the way to the marching, Zhang Liang accepted Xu An as a disciple. He originally meant to reward him, but unexpectedly, Xu An understood the meaning of Taiping Taoist scriptures taught by Zhang Liang at one point. When Zhang Liang taught some knowledge about placing troops and marching and combat, Xu An also showed a different learning ability than ordinary people.

Zhang Liang finally began to face up to his newly accepted disciple. Not only did he treat Xu An as a personal disciple, but he also left the position of Qu Commander who was vacant to Xu An.

"It's very different to just listening to the explanation and taking the command personally. I believe you'll have a deep understanding these days."

Hearing Zhang Liang's question, Xu An quickly replied: "What Master said is very true."

Before, Zhang Liang taught the knowledge of placing troops and marching and fighting. Xu An, who had been tempered by exam-oriented education, was able to make Zhang Liang look at him with great knowledge and strong memory. However, when he came to practice, he was completely confused, and various sudden situations made him confused for a while.

Fortunately, he was only responsible for the march and camping of the two Yellow Turban Warriors, and with the help of Liu Pi, it would not be out of control. However, after two days of chaos, Xu An was basically able to lead the army alone.

Xu An asked Zhang Liang again about some questions about marching and combat and placing troops, and Zhang Liang also answered them one by one.

Zhang Liang pondered for a while and slowly spoke, "A few days ago, you have roughly understood the meaning of the Taiping Taoist Sutra. I have the three Taoist traditions of the Heaven, Earth, and Man, all of which are the supreme and wonderful methods. Which one do you want to choose to practice?"

"But rely on the teachings of the master." Xu An's heart burst into tears. The three chapters of heaven, earth and man are scriptures in the Taiping Sutra, and it is said that this is an immortal book passed down by immortals.

Although there may be no immortals in reality, since there are such rumors in the Taiping Jing, it must be extraordinary.
