Chapter 2953: Chu and Wei marriage, Xu Bei’s battle begins (Part 2)


    Chapter 2950: The marriage between Chu and Wei, the battle between Xu Bei started (Part 2)


    After Zhu Di learned that Zhang Liang''s general was going to Qingnan, he felt that the sky in Ming Dynasty was about to collapse. After all, he knew too well what status Zhang Liang, who had the identity of a "man general", had in the hearts of the Ming Cult believers. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was second only to him, the "Ming Zun".


    Zhu Di was very regretful about this. He shouldn''t have tried to build a country easily with religion. Although he could win the hearts of the Ming Cult, this shortcut behavior would definitely leave hidden dangers, and Zhang Liang''s boomerang was about to hit Zhu Di''s throat.


    With Zhang Liang''s status in the Ming Cult, if the foolish people in Qingnan learned that the person sent by the Qin Dynasty was Zhang Liang, many people would definitely kneel down to make a pilgrimage with joy, and these people would affect other believers, thus forming a vicious cycle. How could the people in Qingnan dare to resist the rule of the Qin Dynasty?


    If Zhang Liang really solved the problem in Qingnan and allowed the Qin army in Qingzhou to go south with all their might, then the Ming army, whose morale has not yet recovered, may not be able to stop it. Even if it can, there will be heavy casualties. This is obviously something Zhu Di doesn''t want to see.


    Therefore, Zhu Di summoned Fan Zeng and other advisers overnight to discuss ways to deal with Zhang Liang, but Fan Zeng is not omnipotent.


    Zhang Liang had such a high status in the Ming Cult, to a large extent, but Zhu Di''s fault. After all, if he hadn''t overly raised the General Zhang Jiao, how could he have the current position of General Zhang Liang?


    Although Fan Zeng could not come up with a solution, he had a way to restore morale as soon as possible. At the same time, he made arrangements before Zhang Liang arrived, causing some trouble for Zhang Liang as much as possible to delay the time when the Qin army went south with all its might.


    But even so, Zhu Di still felt that it was unsafe, so he revised the doctrine overnight and claimed to the public that the general had been completely brainwashed by the evil demons, which was almost obvious that Zhang Liang was also an evil demon, hoping to reduce his prestige in the hearts of the Ming sects.


    Zhu Di tried his best to overestimate Zhang Liang''s threat, but he didn''t expect to be far underestimated, because Zhang Liang did not take office alone, and Feng Yunshan, Zhang Baiqi and Zhang Niujiao were also following him.


    Zhang Baiqi and Zhang Niujiao are not only old-fashioned Yellow Turban Qushang, but also Zhang Jiao''s direct disciples. Feng Yunshan is the right-hand man of Emperor Ming. The three of them are also reincarnated gods in the doctrine of the Ming Cult, and they also have considerable influence in the hearts of believers.


    With Zhu Di''s prestige in the Ming Cult, he said that Zhang Liang was brainwashed alone, so many people would believe him. After all, Zhang Liang himself may have problems, but saying that so many gods and immortals are bewitched by evil demons will obviously arouse some people''s suspicion.


    Although most Ming Cultists are ignorant, they are not all fools. If the reincarnation of gods is so easy to be brainwashed, it would be too unlucky. What is the difference between this and mortals?


    Therefore, when Zhang Liang brought Feng Yunshan, Zhang Baiqi and Zhang Niujiao and other Yellow Turban Old Man appeared in front of the people of Qingnan, Zhu Di''s slandering actions not only did not have much effect, but also shook many Ming Cult believers.


    As for Zhang Liang himself, he was actually scared by the pilgrimage of the Ming Cult believers. If he hadn''t been guarded by the great masters, he would not have dared to show up in person to contact these believers, because he would probably be trampled to death by these crazy believers.


    Although Zhang Liang knew that his prestige in the Ming Cult, he actually had no idea how high he was. After all, he was just a strategist during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and there were actually many people in the Taiping Cult who had a higher status than him. It was not until the founding of the Ming Dynasty that he became the core of the leadership, but then he hid in the Taihang Mountains, so he did not intuitively experience the feeling of being pilgrimage to believers.


    Zhang Liang felt that no matter how high his status in the Ming Cult is now, it would not be better than his elder brother Zhang Jiao. But what he did not expect was that his status was not as good as Zhang Jiao, but the believers of the Ming Cult are much more crazy than those of the Taiping Cult.


    When Zhang Liangcai entered the territory of southern Qinghai, some believers spontaneously came to pilgrimage. After seeing him, some people laughed, but more were crying. Some people knelt on the ground and kowtowed constantly, and they didn''t stop until they kowtowed until they were bleeding, unless he personally came forward to stop it.


    The closer you get to a large city with a large population, the more people come to pilgrimage. Some of them are obviously dressed in rags, with a dish-like noodles, and obviously look like they are not full of food, but they turn a blind eye to carrying chicken, duck, fish and meat, and instead have to provide them with the **** Zhang Liang in their hearts.


    I don’t know how they can resist eating when they are hungry.


    Not only did Zhang Liang stunned by the spontaneous behavior of the believers, but even the three Yellow Turban Old Men, Feng Yunshan, Zhang Baiqi and Zhang Niujiao, were stunned.


    They have seen believers pilgrimage to Zhang Jiao. Although they are also crazy, they are far from this level. At the same time, they also understand why His Majesty the Emperor is determined to crack down on the cult.


    It''s indeed a bit crazy.


    This is just Qingnan. Among the many cults in the Central Plains, the doctrine of the Ming Cult is considered normal, and the demonic sects such as the White Lotus Sect and the Shura Sect are even more terrifying.


    If this is not solved, even if the Qin Dynasty occupied the Central Plains, it will only be dragged into the quagmire, and resources will be continuously invested and consumed. If it is not completely solved in one day, it will not be possible to go south to complete the cause of unification.


    In order to solve the problem in Qingnan, after Zhang Liang arrived, he first met Zhuge Liang and Su Dingfang, and then immediately made a public speech.


    Zhang Liang did not throw dirty water on Zhu Di like Zhu Di, but instead played emotional cards with the Ming Cult believers. He first recalled the difficulty of uprising and rebelling against the Han Dynasty. He heard that the tens of thousands of old people present burst into tears, which also aroused the believers'' nostalgia for Zhang Jiao.


    Then Zhang Liang said that Ying Hao was Zhang Jiao''s son-in-law, a person recognized by General Tiangong and Emperor Ming, and was definitely not the evil demon that Zhu Di said.


    Zhang Liang did not vilify Zhu Di, but was just seeking truth from facts, but it had already shaken many believers with firm beliefs. Then he even said that he introduced the policies of the Qin Dynasty and what preferential policies he brought to Youqing Xu this time.


    In short, as long as everyone does not resist the rule of the Qin Dynasty, the future life will definitely get better and better. If you are determined to rebel against Qin, you will not only be sorry for your parents and family, but also the spirit of General Tian Gong will also be disappointed with him and will not be able to ascend to the reincarnation of the Kingdom of God after death.


    In just half a month, Zhang Liang led Feng Yunshan and others to travel around the three counties and cities in Qingnan, and delivered nine speeches with over 30,000 participants, which greatly reduced the resistance of the people in Qingnan towards the rule of the Qin Dynasty.


    Of course, no matter how nice what Zhang Liang said, he is still an evil demon in the eyes of some stubborn believers, and naturally he cannot believe the words of the evil demon, so there are still many people who are resisting the Qin Dynasty.


    Although it shows that the resistance of believers of the religion has not stopped, its strength is much smaller than before, and it triggers a small uprising of dozens of people at most, which basically poses no threat to the rule of the Qin Dynasty. Seeing that Zhang Liang solved the problem of Qingnan so simply, Zhuge Liang and Su Dingfang couldn''t help but sigh while being happy. His Majesty asked Zhang Liang to come to Qingnan this time. After all, the effect of Zhang Liang''s words is ten times better than that of killing ten thousand people.


    Only by letting the right person do the right thing will you achieve twice the result with half the effort.


    At the same time, Qi County, Linzi City, and the governor''s office.


    Governor Zhang Liang of Qingxu, Fan Zhongyan of Qingzhou, Su Dingfang of Qingzhou, and Zhuge Liang of Jizhou, these four people who represent the highest power of the Qin Dynasty in Qingxu are gathered together to discuss the next action.


    "Although the three counties in Qingnan are still unstable, they are generally stable."


    Zhuge Liang looked at Zhang Liang in the middle, shook his feather fan and said, "Governor General, since you have no worries in the rear, you can take advantage of the Ming army''s loss of troops and territories and your morale has not yet recovered, our army should start a war with the Ming army as soon as possible."


    "Yes, the opportunity must not be missed, and the time will never come again." Su Dingfang agreed with a smile.


    Qingzhou Governor Fan Zhongyan opposed: "The situation in Qingnan is now very good, and it is a good time to make a concerted effort to eliminate a group of ghosts and monsters. At this time, the army will leave, and I am afraid that the previous efforts will be put into vain.


    The morale of the Ming army did not recover so quickly, so it would be time to solve the ills of Qingnan first, and then go to war with the Ming army. ”


    Zhuge Liang retorted after hearing this: "Mr. Fan is such a bad word. Zhu Di is not a person who is unscheming. Fan Zeng has great wisdom. The opportunity to fight is fleeting. How can he wait and wait?"


    As the chief general of the army, Zhuge Liang and Su Dingfang were both firm quick-war factions. On the contrary, Fan Zhongyan, who was the governor in charge of internal affairs, hoped to slow down for a while.


    Although Su Dingfang supported Zhuge Liang, he also felt that what Fan Zhongyan said was reasonable. In addition, he was not good at speaking and knew that he could not speak, so he did not participate in the debate. Instead, Zhuge Liang and Fan Zhongyan argued whether to send troops immediately.


    Although Zhuge Liang has many outstanding achievements in fighting against scholars and scolding Wang Lang to death, he can be said to be iron-to-mouthed and unparalleled in eloquence, Fan Zhongyan, who is both civil and military, and has always been quick-witted and intelligent, is not bad at eloquence.


    Zhuge Liang started from a military perspective, and Fan Zhongyan retorted from the perspective of the future of people''s livelihood. The two of them were going back and forth, and no one could convince anyone. The debate was so exciting.


    The opinions of officials of the civil and military factions are not unified, so as Zhang Liang, the Governor of Qing Xu, his views are crucial at this time.


    Although Zhang Liang, as Governor of Qingxu, was above the governor and the governor, and could theoretically lead three people directly, he was airborne after all and has no foundation in Qingxu at present.


    If Zhang Liang harmed the interests of the three people and caused the governor and the governor to disapprove of him, he would be underestimated by Fan Zhongyan and the other two and become a nominal governor.


    Although Zhang Liang didn''t care about power, he was shameless. As the first governor of the Qin Dynasty, if he was under his command, his face would be greatly disgraced.


    Therefore, in order to prevent shame, Zhang Liang could clearly grasp the military and political power, but he chose to give up the military power and hand over the full power to Zhuge Liang and Su Dingfang, while he and Fan Zhongyan divided the north and south of Qingzhou.


    Of course, this is only temporary. After taking Xuzhou, Zhang Liang will also hand over the power of Qingnan to Fan Zhongyan. When he presided over the Xuzhou regime, it was the best time to get involved in military power.


    "Governor Fan, I know you cherish the people, but compared to the Ming army that defeated Xubei, it is worth it to take over Qingnan, not to mention abandoning the entire Qingzhou."


    Hearing Zhang Liang''s words, Fan Zhongyan was stunned. He thought that Zhang Liang would be the team himself. After all, if Zhuge Liang and Su Dingfang led the army away, if Qingnan was in chaos, the two of them would be the headache in the end, but he did not expect that Zhang Liang would stand in the team without any hesitation.


    When Zhang Liang said this, Fan Zhongyan knew that he could not stop the army from leaving, so he could only smile and nod in agreement after sighing.


    Zhang Liang smiled and said, "That''s right. I have reported the situation of Qingnan to Your Majesty through Feige''s letter. I believe that in the near future, Your Majesty''s order of urging war will be passed."


    Zhang Liang''s words were actually giving Fan Zhongyan a step. After all, whether there is an emperor''s order or not will not affect their leadership of the army. However, the three of them opposed Fan Zhongyan together, but they were suspected of political isolation, but if Ying Hao was brought out, they would naturally not think too much.


    Hearing Zhang Liang''s words, Fan Zhongyan understood them and looked at Zhuge Liang and Su Dingfang and said, "Mr. Zhuge, General Su, I don''t object to the sending troops, but Qingnan still leaves enough troops."


    Su Dingfang and Zhuge Liang looked at each other, and Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan in his hand and smiled and said, "That''s natural. Qingnan is related to the rear of the army. If we don''t leave enough troops, how can we concentrate on responding to the enemy?"
