Chapter 986: The Yellow Turbans Come to an End

The Western Regions, the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

"Brother, I just received the battle report from General Guan Hai. My Huangtian Holy Army has captured the capital of Dawan, and all the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions have been pacified!"

Zhang Bao knelt in the hall and said excitedly to Zhang Jiao, who was at the top.

Zhang Jiao leaned against Zhang Bao at this moment, lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking, Zhang Bao could only see a tawny Taoist robe.

After a long time, I heard an old voice: "How many casualties are there for our son?"

Zhang Bao's expression darkened when he heard the words, and he said sadly: "The remnants of the Western Regions gathered in Dawan. We fought a very difficult battle. We lost more than two million sons and daughters. Liu Pi, Zhang Xun, and Li Damu were unfortunate. Fight to the death!"

"Ugh!"

Zhang Jiao let out a long sigh, and then the hall fell into silence again, neither of them spoke, only the crackling of burning candles remained for a while.

About a quarter of an hour later, Zhang Bao couldn't bear it anymore, and said, "Brother, the situation in the Central Plains is tense. Dong Zhuo is confronting the princes of the Guandong, and Dong Zhuo's perverse actions have made the world panic. At this time, we are turning around. Going back to the Central Plains is a great opportunity to create another golden age of Huang Tian, ​​I don't know big brother..."

Zhang Jiao was silent for another long time. Just when Zhang Bao was waiting impatiently, Zhang Jiao's voice came: "Oh, it's too late! Everything is too late!"

"Ok?"

Zhang Bao was taken aback when he heard the words, and then a very ominous premonition rose in his heart, he stood up suddenly, and asked nervously: "Brother, you..."

Zhang Jiao moved his body slowly, revealing his true colors.

With white hair all over his head, age spots all over his body, his whole body looks haggard, and his face is full of lifelessness.

"Brother! How come you are like this, not long ago... not long ago, weren't you still fine?"

Zhang Baosan walked forward in two steps, supported Zhang Jiao, and asked in a crying voice.

"Do Dong Zhuo a small favor, and save some lifespan. With this favor, even if Dong Zhuo realizes his long-cherished wish, he won't be too harsh on my Huangtian people."

"Huangtian Dafa! That's right, Huangtian Dafa! I'll gather my disciples and use Huangtian Dafa to prolong my elder brother's life!"

Zhang Bao seemed to think of something, and said excitedly.

"It's useless. My lifespan is exhausted and my soul power is overdrawn. It cannot be saved by manpower. Don't mobilize people for me, a person who is mortal!"

Zhang Bao fell to the ground and burst into tears.

"A Bao, there is nothing to be sad about. The cycle of life and death is a fate that no one can escape. I just went one step earlier!"

Zhang Jiao looked at it very openly, and instead began to comfort Zhang Bao.

"If I can live for another two years, I will definitely lead Huangtian's people back to the Central Plains and create another prosperous Huangtian world, but God won't give me a chance!"

As he said that, Zhang Jiao raised his hand with some difficulty, and the skin like bark hung loosely on the bone of his hand. Now Zhang Jiao's image can scare children to tears in broad daylight!

"How...is this happening! How...is this happening!"

Zhang Bao was already sobbing at this time, sobbing and saying. the dog

"The destiny! The destiny is like this! I have been thinking about going against the sky all my life, but I never thought that I would not be able to escape the destiny in the end!"

There was a hint of sadness in Zhang Jiao's cloudy eyes, not the fear of death, but a kind of loneliness, powerlessness and unwillingness.

"A Bao, you are not a man of destiny. When the real Dragon Emperor is born, you can offer soil from the Western Regions to belong to him. If you want to do this, my Huangtian people will not be slaughtered."

"Brother!"

"Okay, okay, Ah Bao is already this old, and he is about to become a great virtuous teacher. If he is still crying like this, wouldn't it be a joke for the younger generation?"

Zhang Jiao squeezed out a slightly ferocious smile, raised his hand vigorously, and wiped away Zhang Bao's tears.

………………………

Balhae County, Nanpi!

Yuan Shao, the prefect of Bohai Sea, is in a very bad mood these days, or rather bad. First, the Yuan family in the capital was slaughtered, and none of the Yuan family in the capital survived. This was a fatal blow to Yuan Shao!

As we all know, Yuan Shao is a concubine,

The direct descendant of the Yuan family is Yuan Shu, but Yuan Shao's handsome appearance and outstanding abilities are appreciated by Yuan Kai and Yuan Feng, so he came from behind and faintly surpassed Yuan Shu.

Yuan Kui's death means that Yuan Shao's backer is gone. The Yuan family's ancestral home is in Runan. Without Yuan Kui's mediation, the remaining power of the Yuan family will definitely give priority to Yuan Shu, the prefect of Runan who is right in front of him, instead of Yuan Shao, the prefect of Bohai. This was undoubtedly a fatal blow to Yuan Shao.

Seeing that the Pingzhou army next door was getting stronger and stronger, and even directly destroyed a country and opened up the land of a whole state, Yuan Shao was even more anxious.

However, Lu Zhi's assassination and death made him secretly happy, and quickly mobilized public opinion to force Shang Ji, trying to take advantage of the general situation of the world to eliminate Shang Ji.

Anyway, in Yuan Shao's eyes, Dong Zhuo, who is insane and mad, is already a dead bone in the grave, not worth making a fuss about. On the contrary, it is the ever-growing merchants, who pose a greater threat than Dong Zhuo.

It's a pity, the successive bad news told Yuan Shao that Shang Ji didn't seem to be so easy to settle.

"My lord, Dongnai County urgent report!"

"Submit it!"

Yuan Shao anxiously took the report, glanced at it hastily, then sighed, and handed the report to Tian Feng next to him.

Tian Feng took it and looked at it carefully, and sighed helplessly: "Up to now, Gongsun Zan, Tao Qian, and Han Fu have lost heart one after another. We should change our strategy as soon as possible, repair the relationship with Shang Ji, and jointly launch an army to attack Dong Dong. That's the best policy!"

Yuan Shao seemed a little unwilling when he heard the words, then reached out to take the battle report, read it again, and finally nodded helplessly.

There is not much content in the battle report. The main reason is that the Pingzhou Navy, which was conducting long-distance sailing exercises, was provoked by pirates when it arrived in the waters of Dongnae County. A pirate who was hiding was blown into ruins!

It's a pity that the total number of people in this group has just exceeded a thousand, and all the ships combined are not as big as any warship in the Pingzhou Navy. They enjoy the courtesy that most regular army sailors are not entitled to. After bombing for two hours in turn, tens of thousands of torchstones and artillery shells flattened the island. After hearing the news, the small broken boats of the Qingzhou Navy did not even dare to approach, and the governor of Qingzhou, Kong Rong, was even more courageous. Trembling, I am afraid that the Pingzhou Navy will directly land in Qingzhou.

Earlier, the Shang Ji army defeated Gongsun Zan's 300,000 vanguard army with only 100,000 troops, and captured the vanguard general Zou Dan. Stimulated by this, Gongsun Zan finally calmed down.

Not to mention anything else, with Shang Ji tearing apart, and millions of cavalry going out of the fortress, he, the governor of Youzhou, will be considered as the end!

As for Han Fu, he was even more timid, and had long since given up his plan to continue besieging Shang Ji.

"My lord, the only plan for now is to turn our attention to Dong thief again and call on everyone to challenge Dong. With the prestige of the fourth generation and third lord, there is a high probability that he can win the position of the alliance leader. As long as he leads the alliance army to defeat Luoyang , when the time comes, my lord will bring down the Dong bandits and restore the power of the court, so why worry about not being able to sweep the world down?"

Hearing Tian Feng's words, Yuan Shao's eyes lit up, and he said repeatedly: "Sir, what you said is reasonable! Pass down the order and immediately draft a statement, Dong thief plotted to assassinate Lu Gong, and tried to put the blame on General Zuo, the crime of this villain There are too many books to write about. The Yuan family has been loyal and good for generations, and I, Yuan Shao, have been favored by the emperor for a long time. I must not sit back and watch these rebels steal the court. Bohai will immediately raise troops to demand Dong. I hope that the people with lofty ideals will rise up and attack the thieves!"
