Chapter Sixty-Five Breakout
The prison van carried Lu Zhi away from the front line, and the flag symbolizing Lu Zhi was also removed.
The Great Master stood on the top of the city and looked at the suddenly changing flags and said to a person next to him: "The flags of the enemy camp suddenly changed. I guess something must have happened to the enemy camp, cough cough cough..." Then he said again
There was a rapid cough.
The people around him immediately supported Zhang Jiao and asked with concern: "General Tiangong, are you okay? Are you feeling any discomfort?"
After Zhang Jiao rested for a while, he said: "It doesn't matter to me, but we have to take this opportunity to break out. After all, being trapped in the isolated city for a long time is not an option. We have to find a way to break out. I heard that Zhang Bao has been forced to Quyang County. If we lead
If we can lead the troops out and capture Dingzhou City occupied by Liu Chang, we can connect with Zhang Bao's troops. Then we..." Then he coughed violently again.
After Zhang Jiao rested for a long time, he said to the people next to him: "Go and call Zhang Liang. I have something to say to him."
The people around said to him: "General Tiangong, wait a moment, I will call General Renggong here right away."
The wind was blowing loudly on the top of the city. Zhang Jiao's clothes and the yellow scarf on his head were dancing in the wind. He still had a lot of white hair on his head. He closed his eyes and felt the wind.
He grabbed it with his right hand out of habit, but instead of grabbing the nine-section staff he had always carried by his side, he grabbed a weapon. At this moment, he suddenly remembered that he was no longer a great sage teacher;
It’s General Tiangong.
Zhang Jiao opened his eyes fiercely, looked at the camp with changing flags in the distance, and immediately made up his mind. At least some people must rush out. Then he began to plan the next battle plan.
Not long after, Zhang Liang followed a yellow scarf soldier to the top of the city wall.
Zhang Liang walked quickly to Zhang Jiao and said, "Brother, I heard that you called me here if you have something to do."
Zhang Jiao pointed to the camp in the distance and said to him: "Look, Lu Zhi's flag has disappeared. There must have been some changes in their camp. No matter what happened in the enemy camp, this is a big problem for us.
It is an opportunity. In this case, we must not miss this opportunity."
Zhang Liang looked along Zhang Jiao's hand and saw that the flag on the opposite side had changed. He couldn't help but murmured: "I don't know who is in charge of the overall situation on the opposite side now."
Zhang Jiao said firmly: "No matter who is in charge of the overall situation now, since the situation on the other side has changed, we will take this opportunity to set off to the north."
Zhang Liang said to Zhang Jiao: "I heard that my second brother's general, Lei Gong, was stopped by Liu Chang when he went to the north to attack Zhongshan. I heard that his army was elite and the city wall was too high to win quickly. Why don't we go south? I heard that Bo Cai
The offensive with Zhang Mancheng in the south was fierce, and Bo Cai even defeated Zhu Jun's troops."
Zhang Jiao explained to Zhang Liang: "Now the situation has changed. Before we were besieged, I heard that Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun from the south had defeated Bo Cai's army at Changshe. Bo Cai himself did not know where to retreat. And Zhang Mancheng was killed in Nanyang. The battle in the south is not going well. We should go north to find our brother Zhang Bao. I heard that his offensive has also been stopped and he has now retreated to the vicinity of Quyang. I am afraid of the people in the city. Turmoil did not tell you this news."
Zhang Liang was very panicked when he heard what Zhang Jiao said. He asked eagerly: "Brother, what should we do? Is it true that Huang Tianzhen cannot replace the sky?"
Zhang Jue warned Zhang Liang: "Don't panic. I've been feeling unwell these past few days. I think I don't have much time left. But if I die, I still need you to control the life and death of nearly 100,000 of us." .You should prepare yourself early."
After Zhang Liang heard this, he became even more at a loss. Zhang Jiao, who he looked at sadly, couldn't even say a word.
Zhang Jiao said in a calm tone: "Death and life are also fate; they are all at night. I already put my own life and death aside at the beginning of the uprising, but these 100,000 people still need you to help them. Let Bo have a way out. We started the uprising just for them, so we can’t lead them into the abyss."
Zhang Liang said with a choked tone: "Brother, we will go to the city to summon doctors to treat you. We will definitely cure you."
Zhang Jiao still said in a calm tone: "I have practiced medicine in Jizhou for many years and am proficient in medicine and stone. I know that I am terminally ill and there is no cure." Then he suddenly scolded Zhang Liang and said: "A hundred thousand lives are lost here. If you are tied to me, how can you care about your own sorrow and act like a child?"
Zhang Liang said in a sad tone: "How can we not be sad if we are not grass and trees? I cannot match my brother's ambition. Therefore, it is understandable for me to be sad. If I become a hero and become a tree? It doesn't matter if I am a mediocre person."
Zhang Jue told Zhang Liang with a look of death on his face: "Don't say any more. You go and gather men first. Tonight I will lead my troops to attack the camp opposite. You can take the opportunity and lead the men to break through to the north. If you are lucky, If you are able to escape to Quyang, you should follow the arrangements of your second brother Zhang Bao. If unfortunately you fail to succeed, everyone here will depend on you. Huang Tian's fire cannot be extinguished, and now it is finally time for me to burn my body to bring peace to the world. It’s time.”
Zhang Liang held back his sorrow and said to Zhang Jiao firmly: "Brother, it's better for me to lead the people to attack the enemy camp. You can't be left on the Taiping Road."
Zhang Jiao said: "Why can't Taiping Road be without me? Until peace comes, the fire will not be extinguished. I should also add firewood to it. Don't say any more. You and everyone in the city prepare to break out to the north. Action tonight, you hurry up and prepare now. Heaven is dead, Huang Tian is here to stand."
Zhang Liang hid his face and left the city wall. Zhang Jiao looked at the people around him and said, "You all should follow Zhang Liang. You still need to work hard for the Taiping Road."
Yang Xu suddenly stood up and saluted Zhang Jiao and said: "Although we were like burning flames burning seven states and twenty-eight counties, now Huang Tian's power is like a candle in the wind. Even if we run away, we will not be able to escape."
Where can I escape? Please allow me, General Heavenly Lord, to die with you tonight, and I will be a firebrand."
After Zhang Jiao heard this, he seemed to be relieved and said: "Well, since you have made up your mind, I will take you to die together." He then asked the others, "Will you all go to death with me?"
."
The remaining people all replied: "We will die together with the great virtuous teacher."
