Chapter 510 Strategy

In the early morning, in the Guan family dock, Zhang Liao was looking through the documents sent by Zhao Jian, all of which were the situations in Donglai and Qingzhou that Zhao Jian learned.

At the Taiping Conference three days ago, Taiping Dao was defeated. Not only was the core figure captured in one net, but his reputation was also destroyed. Under Zhang Liao's scolding and enlightenment, many Taiping Dao believers repented.

Then Zhang Liao let the shadows spread the situation of the day everywhere, and made a big announcement that the story of Zhang Liao, the governor of Qingzhou, broke the Taiping Road, quickly spread throughout Donglai, and even the adjacent Beihai and Langya, and even the evil deeds of some gods and virtuous teachers in Taiping Road were displayed in all directions, shocking Qingxu.

The effect of public opinion propaganda is very obvious, especially when Zhang Liao let the shadow deliberately amplify Taipingdao's crimes, including robbing women and women, defrauding money, and harming human lives. Even the saying that Taipingdao has delicious human flesh is also known, with names and appearances. Huang Tian Taiyi was described as an evil god, Taipingdao became famous overnight, and some of Zhang Liao's classic words were widely spread and praised.

If Zhang Liao wanted to quickly establish prestige in Qingzhou, he could only shamelessly let Shadow praise him. Of course, he did not overly embellish him. He asked Shadow to truthfully promote the situation that day, and those Shadows who worship him naturally magnified his image.

At the same time, Zhang Liao also asked the officials of various counties and Bai Xin to promote his policies against the bandits and surrender within one month, and everything would be safe, otherwise they would be killed.

However, judging from the information provided by Zhao Jian, the bandits in each county did not take any action, and obviously had the mentality of taking chances or continuing to do evil.

Zhang Liao tapped the desk with his fingers, thinking about how to deal with these bandits as soon as possible.

Although he had settled Taiping Road, there were too many bandits in Donglai. In addition to the Yellow Turbans, many rogues and wealthy families also took the opportunity to gather Hakka soldiers to plunder the places and gathered in mountains, forests and islands. There were hundreds of stocks of all sizes, and it was difficult to pay them all for a while.

But it was a cancer that kept and repeatedly robbed was very troublesome. It was best to deal with it together. But he had to think of a way. He couldn't help but miss Guo Jia. If Guo Jia was here, his eyes would turn and he would have a lot of ideas, but he was not at that level anymore, and he would often have a flash of inspiration.

Unfortunately, Guo Jia was left in Zhongshan by himself and cooperated with Zhao Yun and Zhang Yan to prevent attacks from Wuhuan, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan at any time.

While thinking about it, Diao Chan, dressed in men's clothing, came in with tea, put the tea on the desk, and whispered: "General, please use tea."

Zhang Liao nodded, took the tea and drank it, and couldn't help but praise: "Yes, this tea art is comparable to Zhao Ji's."

He likes to drink tea, so he always brings tea leaves around him from time to time, and Diao Chan also learns tea art from Cai Yan.

Diao Chan smiled with a pursed lips and said softly: "General, the Saint of Taiping Dao wants to come to see the General."

Because the chief clerk Tian Yi assisted Xun Yu in Bingzhou to handle affairs, Diao Chan not only took care of Zhang Liao's daily life, but also temporarily acted as his chief clerk in the past few days. The record and communication were neat and pleasing to the eye. However, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhang Liao asked her to wear men's clothing. However, she did not expect that when wearing men's clothing, Diao Chan showed a unique charm, which often made the staff members lose their minds.

When Zhang Liao heard that the Saint of Taiping Dao was about to see him, he frowned, suddenly moved his heart and nodded, "Let her come here."

A moment later, the Saint of Taiping Dao came in and bowed and bowed: "I am Gong Ying, I, to pay homage to the general."

"You don't have to be polite." Zhang Liao said expressionlessly: "What are you going to see me?"

Gong Ying hesitated for a moment and said with a crisp voice: "Your Majesty, in fact, Taiping Tao is just to preach, not..."

"I don't object to preaching, but are you preaching? That's rebellion! That's a sin! How many people have harmed, dare to say it's preaching?" Zhang Liao interrupted her with a word: "If you want to establish a peaceful world, do you think this world is fun? So many wise ministers and officials in the world may not be able to govern the world well. You and a group of Taoist priests who have never been in contact with political affairs and have never experienced the people's sentiments dare to say that they should govern inaction and establish a peaceful world? When others are all wine bags, they are all evil and ugly. Only you are the most righteous, smartest and most capable in the world?!"

Diao Chan was secretly watching from the side. General Zhang was usually very kind and rarely got angry, but once he got angry, his power was not something that ordinary people could bear.

The saint bowed and said, "I don't want you to know the Taoist teachings of Taiping."

"Why don't you know, is it that easy to govern by doing nothing?" Zhang Liao sneered: "I admire Huangdi and I, but you and others, just borrowed the name of the saints! The controversy among hundreds of schools of thought is ultimately to establish a set of orders. Confucianism can establish the most stable order, and govern by doing nothing is also a kind of, but that is a supreme state, to climb Mount Tai and observe the world, to be familiar with the affairs of the world and return to the essence without disturbing the people. Apart from me, how many people can achieve it? What's more, if you want to do nothing, will others do nothing? Just like the scum, it is your inaction that helps increase his evil deeds!"

The saint showed a look of shame on his face and whispered: "My grandfather did not know about Yu Ya and those god-wish deeds. He just wanted to preach and had no malice."

"Well, looking at Taiping Dao, this saint, you are pretty good. He has done a lot of things that benefit the people, but Gong Sheng, hey! He is not bad, but he is crazy, he is a fool!" Zhang Liao scolded: "The fool is also confused and can he preach? He did not do evil, but he taught Zhang Jiao and brought out Taiping Dao, which caused millions of innocent people to die in war. The sins caused indirectly over the years are endless! It is hard to redeem a hundred deaths! It should be gone to the Nine Nether Hell! It is not because of his old age, I have long cut him into pieces! Now I have to imprison him so that I will not cause another disaster."

The saint's eyes turned red and she said lowly: "I know this. This incident has a great blow to my uncle. He is old and I am afraid..."

Zhang Liao had no sympathy for Gong Su, the legendary old immortal Nanhua. He said indifferently: "Taoism emphasizes cultivating the mind and cultivating nature. If he didn't even have this little heart and nature, living would have insulted Mr. Huang."

He learned from later generations that in all dynasties, the Han Dynasty was defeated by force. Although there were many factors in its destruction, at least half of the factors were in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, that is, Zhang Jiao and Nanhua, the culprits.

He originally thought that the Yellow Turban Rebellion was a civil unrest caused by the government's stupidity and oppression of the people. However, he obtained tens of thousands of books from the palace and read some of them. He knew that the Yellow Turban Rebellion was not just because of the government's exploitation and oppression, but a large part of the factor was Zhang Jiao's ambition.

From those records, he counted that from the fifteen years from Emperor Ling’s administration to the Yellow Turban chaos in the first year of Zhongping, nearly thirty wars occurred in the Han Dynasty, but only two local civil unrest, and the rest were mostly rebellious by foreign races. It can be seen that although the government was in chaos, the lives of the people were barely acceptable, and not many people rebelled at that time.

The land tax in the Han Dynasty was not high, and a large part of the problem of the people was caused by natural disasters, which was caused by the Little Ice Age at the end of the Han Dynasty. During Emperor Ling's rule, there were dozens of large-scale natural disasters, including floods, droughts, epidemics, earthquakes, etc., and the disaster range was very large. In this regard, Emperor Ling did not do anything at all, and adopted wasteland policies such as sending medicine, praying for rain in the sky, building rivers and canals, and reducing land rents.

During this period, four more plagues occurred. The first three times Ling Emperor had disaster relief. Only the last time was the empty treasury and there was no medicine. Ling Emperor was still selling official positions in the West Garden to make money. Zhang Jiao took the opportunity to use Fushui during this epidemic and developed and strengthened the Taiping Road.

The transformation occurred in the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the first year of Zhongping. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, perhaps due to resentment towards the people, Emperor Ling became even more absurd. After that, not only did not provide relief to the people, but instead increased taxes, resulting in the people's miserable life. More than a dozen civil unrest occurred in less than six years.

From this perspective, it can be said that the crazy destruction and plunder of the Yellow Turban Rebellion caused a large-scale misfortune of the people, forcing the court to release the ban on military forces, and ordered local county magistrates and powerful men to recruit their own troops. From then on, the world was out of control, and the building of the Han Dynasty began to collapse irreversibly.

The consequences of this collapse are devastating. People today have just realized this and do not know the horror of the future.

Only Zhang Liao, a person from later generations, knew that during the collapse of the Han Dynasty, the princes competed for the Central Plains, which greatly damaged their vitality, and the northern alien races took the opportunity to become stronger. By the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Jie, Qiang, Di and other alien races intensified their invasion of the Central Plains. These barbaric alien races still retained their original human-eating nature, among which the Jie tribe, the white Xiongnu, and the Xianbei tribe were the most vicious.

More than a hundred years later, in the first year of Yong'an in the Western Jin Dynasty, the Murong Xianbei plundered the Central Plains and captured tens of thousands of Han girls. On the way back, they slaughtered and cooked. When they arrived at Yishui, Hebei, they only had eight thousand girls left. They couldn't eat it for a while, so they drowned all the eight thousand girls, and Yishui stopped them from flowing!

The Jie army never carries food and grass when marching and fighting, and specifically plunders Han women as military rations. The Jie people call it "two-legged sheep", which is for soldiers to slaughter and cook during the day.

Under the rule of Jie Zhao, the Han people almost destroyed the clan. By the time Ran Min destroyed Jie Zhao, there were only four million Han people in the Central Plains. After Ran Min defeated Ye, he rescued 200,000 Han women in one go.

The fundamental reason for the Han people's tragedy was that the Han population fell sharply during the Three Kingdoms period and their overall strength dropped sharply, otherwise how could the foreign race be arrogant!

Many bricks in later generations said that the Five Barbarians invaded China were ethnic integration and praised it. They said that the integration required sacrifice. Zhang Liao scoffed at this. There were many ways to integrate ethnic integration, so why did those foreign races almost kill all the Han people? And this cruel way? If those bricks were in this era, they would probably not say that. They would never consider it from the perspective of human nature.

Ethnic integration is OK, but it must be done according to his method!

Therefore, Zhang Liao attacked the Xiongnu in Bingzhou, defeated Nanting in one fell swoop, and led the integration of the Xiongnu into the Han ethnic group. As for the Jie tribe, other tribes of the Xiongnu, descendants of the Shi Kingdom, and white aliens, Zhang Liao had already killed all the people in the Battle of Bingzhou.

In the final analysis, the decline of the Han people began with the Yellow Turban Rebellion, so Zhang Liao tried his best to save all this and preserve the vitality of the Han people to the greatest extent.

Although he has done Taiping Dao now, he knows that the people of Qingzhou have always believed in gods and are inherently worried that it will be difficult to eliminate for thousands of years. It cannot be changed by him in a word. He destroyed Huangtian Taiyi, but sooner or later these people will establish the Blacktian Taiyi and the Daytime Taiyi.

Wildfires cannot be burned out, and spring breezes are blown away. Religion is inevitable, and the key lies in guidance.

What's more, he has just destroyed the main hall and some of his beliefs in Taiping Road. There are many places in Qingzhou that believe in Taiping Road, which need guidance.

He looked at the Taiping Dao Saint: "I am not against the preaching of leading people to goodness, but from now on, whenever I preach in Qingzhou, I must review my morality and distribute the Taoist discs before I can be qualified to preach. If I don't have the Taoist discs, I will preach myself. Don't blame me for being ruthless under the sword."

The saint did not expect that Zhang Liao would let go of his words in the preaching. He was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, the envoy, the envoy is so bright that you can't wait."

Zhang Liao waved his hand: "Don't say it's nice, Gong Sui still can't let go. You can go out and take a few good and prestigious virtuous teachers to guide the Taoist path everywhere. After changing the doctrine, don't do evil again."

"Revise the doctrine?" the saint hesitated, "I don't know how to change..."

Zhang Liao said: "Since ancient times, medical and Taoism have not been separated. In the future, Taiping Taoism must help the world and save people, and to atone for sins. Don't do any evil ways. Really learn some of the art of Qihuang and curing diseases and saving people. It is a great virtue. Taoism can be prosperous. Look at that guy Zuo Yuanfang. Although the elixir he refined is not reliable, he will not use it to harm people. He has been beaten by himself. Moreover, his medical skills are good and he can cure diseases and save people. You should learn more with him."

The saint's eyes showed a look of surprise: "Is the messenger recognize Mr. Wujiao?"

"The friendship is pretty good." Zhang Liao thought of Zuo Ci's guy, and couldn't help but smile. Because Tang Wan and Cai Yan were pregnant, he left Zuo Ci in Bingzhou this time just in case.

When Zhang Liao thought of his wife, he felt better. He drank a little tea and told the saint: "Remember, saving people is saving people, and the potion is potion. Don't pretend to be a god or a ghost or make any talismans. Of course, if the talismans you can convince me first, you can implement them."

"I will remember it." The saint responded respectfully, and suddenly said tentatively: "Is it better for you to be the Lord of Taiping Dao?"

Puff! Zhang Liao sprayed out a mouthful of tea.

What a joke? If you let him be the Taoist master, you will not be laughed at by the world. What will the court think and not do it.

The Saint was not impulsive. Now that the Taiping Road is almost gone, she has no way out. Seeing Zhang Liao's expression, she couldn't help but look disappointed.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Liao's heart moved and suddenly said, "In this way, in a few months, I will recruit Zuo Yuanfang and take you and others to revise the doctrine."

The saint said happily: "It's so great. Thank you, Mr. Wujiao, for your hopes and lead the church."

Zhang Liao nodded, but his mind turned to his first thought. He looked at the Saint: "Ru Taiping Road is deeply rooted in Donglei. I must be very familiar with Donglei's situation, right?"

The saint hesitated and nodded, not daring to say anything else, they still know the situation of Donglai very well.
