The people in this small town really don't know much about military affairs, but they still know about time.

At this moment, it is the first day of May in the seventh year of Guanghe.

When Zhou Ming heard that it was this time, he frowned immediately.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion had a far-reaching impact, but it actually broke out only a short time ago.

In the seventh year of Guanghe's reign, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty came to the throne. Zhang Jiao's Taiping Road had formed a large scale and was preparing to launch an uprising. It was originally scheduled to rise in March, but unexpectedly in February, a traitor appeared inside and spread the news. Zhang Jiao We had no choice but to move forward in February.

Although they were poorly prepared, they were still very powerful. Within ten days, they swept across eight states, with countless people responding from all over the country.

The Han Dynasty responded immediately and sent three generals, Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Jun, to deal with the Yellow Turban Army in March. Among them, Lu Zhi dealt with the main Yellow Turban army in Jizhou, led by the great virtuous teacher Zhang Jiao.

In the early days, the two were evenly matched, but as the other two generals continued to attack, the Yellow Turban Army in other places was defeated one after another. The main force led by Zhang Jiao also turned from offense to defense and retreated to Guangzong City to defend with his third brother Zhang Liang.

The second brother, Zhang Bao, was stationed in Xiaquyang County, and the two sides were at odds with each other.

Lu Zhi besieged Guangzong for three months, but still could not break Guangzong. During this period, because he did not want to bribe the eunuch, he was framed by the eunuch Zuo Feng, removed from his military post, and escorted back to Luoyang for questioning.

It was already June, and the imperial court sent Dong Zhuo to take over Lu Zhi's position. Dong Zhuo suffered a series of defeats, and after holding on for two months, he was also transferred by the imperial court.

In August, Huangpu Song led his army to Guangzong, took over Dong Zhuo's position, and continued to besiege Guangzong. At this time, Zhang Jiao died of illness, and Guangzong's leader had become Zhang Liang.

In October, Huangpu Song defeated Guangzong City, which meant that the Yellow Turban Rebellion was about to end.

In December, Quyang was also defeated, Zhang Bao was killed in battle, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion was completely over.

It started in February and ended in December, and the total duration was only ten months.

"It's only the first day of May. There are still five full months before Guangzong's city is defeated, and the Lord God only gave us two months. Not to mention the two main lines, the challenge task requires us to defeat Guangzong. The difficulty... …It’s really not low!”

These five months are not just a matter of time.

Even if Huangfu Song was able to defeat Guangzong later, it was because after eight months of siege, the food and grass in Guangzong City were exhausted, morale was extremely low, and Zhang Jiao, the core figure of the Yellow Turban Army, had already died of illness at that time.

Such various factors, coupled with Huangfu Song's strategy, were able to successfully defeat it.

Five months ago now, Guangzong City had sufficient food and grass, followers of the great sage Zhang Jue were extremely loyal, their morale was high, and Zhang Jue's body was not yet at the point of dying of illness.

The difficulty of breaking through is countless times greater than it was five months later!

While thinking, Zhou Ming had already been taken to where the army was stationed.

The number of the army is small, but the morale is not low. You can see a big black-faced man training soldiers, and a red-faced man watching next to him.

Zhou Ming's eyes lit up: "This...could it be..."

With such obvious physical features, they must be the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang!

Sure enough, when the leading soldier went in to talk, a moment later, a middle-aged man with long ears and ape-like arms walked out of the tent. He had a friendly face that made people fall in love with him at first sight.

"Since you are also a martyr in the fight against the Yellow Turbans, you share the same goals with us, so move forward quickly!"

Liu Bei is now in his initial period, and apart from Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, there is no one available at all.

The leading soldier just entered and especially talked about Zhou Ming's ability to scale the city wall with ease. When Liu Bei heard this, he knew that Zhou Ming was a talent, so he was naturally very enthusiastic.

Zhou Ming was invited in and took a seat in the tent. Seeing this, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also came over.

Liu Bei introduced: "These two are my sworn brothers, the second brother Guan Yu and the third brother Zhang Fei. My name is Liu Bei. May I ask your name?"

Zhou Mingdao: "Han Li."

"May I ask where you are from?"

Zhou Ming sighed and said: "To be honest, I am actually... a Taoist priest."

"ah?"

The three of them were stunned for a moment, with incomprehensible expressions on their faces.

Zhou Mingdao: "Well, looking at the expressions of the three of them, I'm afraid they are extremely surprised. No wonder, after all, Zhang Jiao is also a Taoist, but he did such a thing. The Yellow Turban Rebellion, not to mention the harm to the world and the people, is simply

He said that our Taoist sect suffered greatly because of it. The Yellow Turban chaos arose, and people in the world changed their minds when they heard about Taoism. Zhang Jiao is really a great scourge to our Taoist sect. Because of this, I went out to go to Guangzong and get rid of him.

Get rid of this big disaster! It can be regarded as saving some reputation for my sect."

After hearing this, the three people's expressions gradually became calmer.

Zhang Fei asked: "I heard that Zhang Jiao has the power to control the wind and rain, and command thunder and lightning. Your Excellency has said that you want to get rid of Zhang Jiao. Why do you have the ability to do this?"

People say that Zhang Fei is both rough and delicate, and it is true.

Zhang Fei is characterized by his bad temper, but having a bad temper does not mean he is stupid or careless. The three have nothing to do with each other.

Many TV dramas in the previous life played Zhang Fei as a fool, which really insulted Zhang Fei.

"I don't know how to call wind and rain, or command thunder and lightning. However, I also have the ability to draw blades out of thin air and kill enemies with a snap of my fingers."

"Oh?" Zhang Fei responded, his tone full of doubts.

Zhou Mingdao: "I will show it to the Three Ones."

He stretched out a finger and scratched it on the table in front of him from a distance of ten centimeters. There was an invisible force, like a sharp blade. As the finger moved, it left knife marks on the table.

The three of them were shocked.

Zhou Ming said again: "General Zhang, please give me some."

Zhang Fei immediately left his seat. Zhou Ming reached out to a wine glass on his table and flicked it. Hearing a bang, the wine glass was shattered by an invisible force.

In the middle, there is a distance of nearly two meters!

"Good skills! Good skills!"

Liu Bei praised him repeatedly and said: "Although you are a Taoist priest, you are completely different from Zhang Jiao and other bandits. You have the world in mind, and I admire you!"

Zhang Fei questioned, Liu Bei praised, the two of them cooperated very well.

Zhou Ming saw through their cooperation, but didn't care.

Naturally, the guests and hosts then had a great time, and Liu Bei also began to tell some of his past.

Needless to say, Liu Bei's origins were that in his debut battle, he eliminated the Yellow Turban leader Zhang Chengzhi who commanded 50,000 troops, and then led 500 people to Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi was Liu Bei's teacher. He was very happy to see him coming to support him, and then sent Liu Bei to Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun.

But Liu Bei was unlucky. When they arrived, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun had already defeated the enemy, so they caught up with them and helped clear out some of the remaining soldiers.

After meeting with Huangfu Song, Huangfu Song said that all the enemies here were defeated, so he asked Liu Bei to go back to support Lu Zhi.

Liu Bei was on his way back at this moment.

Hearing this, Zhou Ming's expression changed drastically and he said, "This is not good!"

Liu Bei was stunned and asked: "Why did you say this, sir?"

Zhou Mingdao: "Three of you can tell that the Taoist sect has the art of stargazing and can predict the future."

"Could it be that sir is well versed in this?"

"That's not the case. I am not good at studying and have never learned the art of stargazing. But my tutor has done some research. Before I went down the mountain, my tutor once said: There is a calamity in Lu Zhi's life, and it is in these few months. This calamity

If you pass it, you can reach a higher level, but if you fail to pass it, your fate will be bumpy from now on.

I asked my master, where did this calamity come from? My master said: I am afraid there is a villain! After I came out of the mountain, I asked all the way, and I learned that His Majesty sent Huangmen Zuofeng to investigate the body. I am afraid that the villain mentioned by my master is the villain.

This person."

"This..." Liu Bei didn't know.

Zhou Mingdao said: "Zuo Feng, like Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, is greedy and is best at whispering in the emperor's ears. This person is ordered to come to inspect the military situation, and he will definitely use this to ask for bribes!"

Liu Bei said: "The teacher is upright and there is no way I can bribe him!"

"Because of this, I'm afraid Zuo Feng is secretly resentful and will make slanderous remarks in the emperor's ears after he returns. This person must be the villain who has been destined to harm Duke Lu!"

In fact, the original history was exactly like this. Lu Zhi besieged Zhang Jiao in Guangzong. Although he could not attack for a long time, he was not wrong. Moreover, the siege strategy was normal in the art of war.

But Zuo Feng failed to ask for a bribe. After returning, he said that Lu Zhi was neglecting and refused to fight. This made Emperor Ling furious and sent Lu Zhi back to the capital for questioning. At the same time, he sent Dong Zhuo to replace him.

Zhou Ming must stop this matter.

Not to mention that he is now on the line with Liu Bei, and he can get to know Lu Zhi directly through Liu Bei. Even if he doesn't know Liu Bei, he can't let Lu Zhi be dismissed and escorted.

After all, the person who replaced Lu Zhi was Dong Zhuo!

Dong Zhuo was in charge for two months and lost consecutive battles without any success. Finally, the court ordered Huangfu Song to replace Dong Zhuo.

The challenge mission is extremely difficult to begin with, and if you change it to a pig teammate, it will be a waste!

Liu Bei and others were skeptical about Zhou Ming's words.

Zhou Mingdao: "This matter must be stopped. Everyone, without further ado, I will leave for Luoyang immediately to stop Zuo Fengjin before he can slander him. Farewell!"

Liu Bei hesitated for a moment and said: "Sir Gao Yi, we are leading the troops here and cannot help you, so I will give you two fast horses as a gift!"

Zhou Ming smiled and said: "There is no need for horses, they can't run as fast as my two legs!"

With that said, he directly entered the Lingbo state, and left the camp with one step. His figure was like the wind, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Liu Bei and the other three were stunned, and it took them a while to come back to their senses.
Chapter completed!
