That night, Zhang Liao and Liu Bei had a long talk all night.

Zhang Liao's ideals and goals were strong and direct, which was to defend the barbarians outside, to stabilize the Central Plains inside, to end the troubled times, and to stabilize the people. His military goals and the government orders implemented were also carried out in this direction.

In comparison, Liu Bei was not the hero of the later generations, but was still a grassroots figure who was running around. Although he had great ambitions, he still rushed around like a headless fly without strategic talents.

The ideals and practices Zhang Liao talked about made Liu Guan and Zhang silent, with huge waves rumbling in his heart. They were not settled. Zhang Liao's experience made their blood boil. Compared to these years, they could only be considered a miserable wanderer.

Zhang Liao's decree made Liu Bei feel excited when he saw another world.

In fact, the people's requirements in this era are very simple. As long as they are stable and food and clothing, they are fine. Liu Bei has not violated the people and has been deeply supported by the people. The people under Zhang Liao's rule have even more supportive support. He has surpassed the court in one sentence in the local area.

Unlike the shock of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Liu Bei undoubtedly saw the foresight and great effect of these government orders more deeply. He couldn't help but raise the candle and called Jian Yong to record Zhang Liao's government orders one by one.

Seeing Liu Bei's attitude, Zhang Liao admired him. This person is worthy of being a character. If it were someone else, he would have long been scolded or retreated when he heard his decrees. After all, most people seek stability in troubled times, and Zhang Liao's decrees are even weakening the aristocratic family. Only people like Liu Bei and Cao Cao can see the foresight of the decrees and have the courage to implement them.

Zhang Liao taught Liu Bei without any concealment, not afraid of having another opponent. He knew that the government order was one thing, and the implementation was another thing. Only Zhang Liao knew the difficulty, and he didn't know how many bloody means he used.

Secondly, the power of the aristocratic families in the world is too strong. Zhang Liao is alone and it will be more and more difficult to go. After all, the place where he is now active is only in the northwest border, and the most powerful place in the aristocratic families is in the Central Plains and the southeast.

What he needs is helpers. If people like Cao Cao and Liu Bei can implement his decrees and can walk these decrees in the Central Plains and the Southeast first, that would be great. No matter what the effect is, it would be twice the result with half the effort and would not become a pioneer. After all, there has been a pioneer first.

So Zhang Liao felt that he was very sinister, but he was also honest. He hoped that an assistant could end the chaos faster. As for who will be in the future, he never feared anyone.

Zhang Liao also told Liu Bei about the resistance in the implementation of the government orders, which instead strengthened Liu Bei's beliefs.

Moreover, among Zhang Liao, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Guan Yu was more interested in these government orders. After all, he was born into a civilian and knew the hardships of ordinary people. On the contrary, Zhang Fei was born into a powerful man and obviously had no pain in his skin and was not interested in it.

At the same time, Liu Bei also told Zhang Liao in detail about the situation in Qingzhou, and Zhang Liao also had a deeper understanding of Qingzhou.

There were princes, Yellow Turbans, clan thieves and pirate forces in Qingzhou. The most difficult thing to deal with was the Yellow Turban Army. The Yellow Turban forces in the Plain Kingdom were very weak and were driven out by Liu Bei. The main force of the Yellow Turbans was still in the eastern part of Qingzhou.

The Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou have their own characteristics. After the Zhangjiao Yellow Turbans failed to launch an army in the first year of Zhongping, the remaining part of the Yellow Turbans was split into pieces. Later, the three largest troops were Heishan, Baibo and Qingzhou Yellow Turbans.

Baibo was pacified by Zhang Liao, and Heishan was also half pacified. But in fact, compared with Heishan and Baibo, only the Qingzhou Yellow Turban is the orthodox Yellow Turban, and it is also a yellow Turban that has always respected the Taiping Road. In essence, this is a religious uprising.

Zhang Liao once asked Zuo Ci that he had a deep understanding of the Yellow Turbans. In fact, the Million Yellow Turbans Rebellion in the first year of Zhongping was apparently the uprising of the Zhangjiao three brothers in Julu County, Hebei, but in fact, the root of Taiping Road still originated in the Qingxu area.

Because the Taiping Taoist program "Taiping Qingling Book" comes from Yu Ji, a Taoist priest in Langya, Xuzhou, and the old Taoist in Nanhua is from Qingzhou, claiming to live in Penglai. More than 80 years ago, there was a Taoist witch Zhang Boxing religious uprising in Qingzhou. It copied the Lie You, Qing, and Xu, which was regarded as the forerunner of the Yellow Turban Uprising.

The religious atmosphere in Qingzhou is very strong. Now Taipingdao covers the entire region. The gods they worship are Huangdi and Laozi. They believe that the world during the Yellow Emperor was a peaceful world and the best world. There is no exploitation and oppression, no hunger, cold, disease, no fraud and theft, and everyone is free and happy.

In addition to Huangdi and Laozi, the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou also respected Zhonghuang Taiyi.

Taiyi is the highest heavenly emperor respected by Taoism. Taiping Dao was given the word "Zhonghuang" before Taiyi, which is consistent with the theory of the five virtues. Emperor Guangwu got the red talisman and became emperor, and regarded himself as fire virtue. Fire produces earth. Taiping Dao regarded himself as earth virtue. The five elements are in the middle of earth, and the color is still yellow. Therefore, they respected Zhonghuang Taiyi, so that Taiping Dao, who was the main voluntary earth virtue, would replace the Later Han kings who were the main voluntary fire virtue, and establish the world of Huangtian Taiping.

The Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou also believed in Fushui for curing diseases and talismans, and the people involved were already obsessed. Taking Fushui for curing diseases as an example, they firmly believed that Fushui was the spirit of Huang Tian, ​​and Fushui was not the spirit of Fushui, which was the insincereness of their hearts, and even gave their children and all their family wealth.

Under the power of faith, the Yellow Turban soldiers fought desperately and refused to die. They recited "spells" and waved wooden sticks, hoes, iron forks, guns and spears and other weapons. They were fierce and crazy, and they were not afraid of death.

Before the New Year, 300,000 Yellow Turbans entered Yanzhou. Cao Cao adopted a strategy of defending guerrillas. The 300,000 Yellow Turbans eventually surrendered to Cao Cao due to shortage of food. But this is only part of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, and there are still a large number of Yellow Turban troops in Qingzhou.

Similarly, the Yellow Turbans of Qingzhou defected to Cao Cao not to give up their faith, but also because of faith, because the Yellow Turban Army only respected Huang Lao and Taiyi and did not worship other gods and ghosts, and prohibited the destruction of other gods and ghosts. When Cao Cao was appointed as the prime minister of Jinan, he destroyed the altar, and his actions were consistent with the "Zhonghuang Taiyi Dao".

Zhang Liao also knew that in the more than 20 years since Cao Cao recruited Qingzhou soldiers, the Qingzhou soldiers were always relatively independent and the military discipline was scattered. When fighting against Lu Bu and Lu Bu in Yanzhou, the Qingzhou soldiers first dispersed, and when fighting against Zhang Xiu in Jingshui, the Qingzhou soldiers plundered and were punished by Yu Jin. This is completely different from other troops under Cao Cao's command, which is not in line with Cao Cao's overlord character. According to Zhang Liao's speculation, Cao Cao was more willing to do so, and perhaps he did not dare to stab the hornet's nest. After Cao*, the Qingzhou soldiers dispersed immediately because there were no like-minded people with them anymore.

Religious uprisings have always been the most sensitive, repetitive and difficult to deal with. For the believers, Zhang Liao did not think that he could handle them easily, which took a long time, especially in this era of believing in ghosts and gods. People are easily bewitched. Even if they are stable, they must be dealt with carefully to avoid recurrence.
