Chapter 79

"Your Majesty! Ma's words are a great fallacy, and this must never be done!"

"Not bad! How can we think Lu Zhi was right just because of Dong Zhuo's defeat?"

"Agree! Lu Zhi's crime is that he disobeyed orders and despised His Majesty. What does it have to do with the battlefield?"

"..."

For a time, the crowd was excited. If you didn't know, you would think Lu Zhi had really committed some unforgivable mistake!

Hearing this, Ma Ridi also had an ugly face.

These treacherous thieves, seeing that Jizhou is about to be completely occupied and the Yellow Turban thieves are about to kill into Henei, they are still fighting internally at this time.

Fighting for power and profit?

Do they really think he doesn't know why these people framed Lu Zhi?

They all say that eunuchs ruin the country, but in his opinion, treacherous officials do no less harm to the Great Han than eunuchs.

"All of you shut up!"

Seeing these people arguing endlessly, Liu Hong was even more annoyed, shouted, and after everyone was quiet, he said with a dark face: "Lu Zhi's crimes are hard to forgive, let's discuss it later."

"Immediately pass my order to have Dong Zhuo arrested and brought to the capital for questioning."

"At the same time, go to Yuzhou to pass the decree to General Huangfu Song and Su Xuan, ordering General Huangfu Song to be the new commander-in-chief of Jizhou, and Su Xuan to be the deputy commander. After receiving the order, immediately lead the army to Jizhou to take over the war, and be sure to behead Zhang Jiao and suppress the Jizhou Yellow Turbans as quickly as possible."

"As long as they do it, I will definitely not be stingy with rewards!"

"That's it! Dismiss the court!"

After speaking, Liu Hong flicked his sleeves angrily and got up and left.

A bunch of trash, in the end, he still has to make the decision. What is the use of raising these things?

"Su Xuan still satisfies me. I hope he won't disappoint me this time!"

Liu Hong thought so.

Because the situation was urgent, in just 2 days, General Huangfu Song and Su Xuan received the imperial transfer order.

The two did not dare to delay, set off on the same day, and rushed to Weijun, Jizhou, as quickly as possible.

And here in Jizhou,

Because the government army had been defeated repeatedly recently, and they were about to take Yecheng and a few other cities, take the whole of Weijun, and then march into Henei, Zhang Liang, Zhang Bao, and others were also excited.

The two found Zhang Jiao for the first time.

"Big brother! The situation now, our opportunity has come! As long as we work hard again, we can take Weijun, and then take Henei, and look at Luoyang!"

"The day we destroy the Great Han is not far away! You are saved!"

Zhang Liang said excitedly to Zhang Jiao.

"Yes! Big brother!"

Zhang Bao also echoed.

However, Zhang Jiao shook his head calmly: "Useless! They are coming!"

"Who?"

Hearing this, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao were both stunned and asked suspiciously.

What kind of person could make their big brother value and fear so much.

Even thinking they couldn't beat that person?

"General of the Household who Subdues the Rebels Su Xuan, and General of the Household General Huangfu Song."

Zhang Jiao said the two names faintly and then said: "If you want to change your destiny, you have to defeat these two people to have a little possibility!"

"Then what else is there to say!"

Hearing this, Zhang Liang was full of pride: "We even defeated Lu Zhi and Dong Zhuo, and wiped out most of the Jizhou government army. Are we still afraid of a mere old general and a young boy?"

"Big brother, you didn't say it, but I forgot. This Su Xuan killed the Zhang Zhang Mancheng brothers and the Bo Cai brothers. Since he dares to come to Jizhou, this time we must kill him to avenge the brothers and the many Yellow Turban soldiers."

Zhang Liang's eyes were full of hatred for Su Xuan at this time.

"Not bad!"

Zhang Bao also nodded in agreement: "Big brother, why are you afraid of these two?"

"Even if they have outstanding abilities, so what?"

"Nowadays, the Jizhou government army has no climate, and even if they come, they can't gather many troops to counterattack."

He didn't understand why his big brother was so pessimistic.

"Sigh!"

Zhang Jiao used the Qi-gazing technique to look at the luck of the three brothers, which was already covered by dark clouds.

He looked at the luck of the Taiping Dao and the Yellow Turban army, which was not much better.

Zhang Jiao immediately said: "It's too late! I have already felt that my time is running out, and I don't have much time!"

Speaking of this, he looked at Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao: "Similarly, you are too deeply involved with me and the Yellow Turban army, and your luck is closely connected. Once I die, I fear you won't be able to withstand the backlash of luck, and defeat and death will be in the blink of an eye."

There is no salvation.

"What?"

Hearing this, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao's faces changed drastically.

They all used the Qi-gazing technique to check their own luck and that of the Yellow Turban army and Taiping Dao.

They were shocked to find that what their big brother said was all true.

"Big brother! This... what should we do? Is there really no way?"

Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao looked at Zhang Jiao with anxiety and unwillingness.

Seeing victory in sight, but the divine power cannot defeat the number of days?

They could not accept this result.

"There is no way!"

Hearing this, Zhang Jiao shook his head bitterly: "In fact, since Tang Zhou betrayed us and we were backstabbed, everything was almost destined!"

"Last time you were unwilling, so I didn't want to completely pierce your fantasies and left you a glimmer of hope."

"But now, this hope has been shattered!"

"I actually don't care about my own life or death. The only thing I worry about and can't let go of is Ning'er!"

"I don't want our three brothers to have no descendants."

"Otherwise, when I get to the underworld, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it to my parents and ancestors."

Speaking of this, he paused and looked at Zhang Liang and Zhang Jiao: "So, I want to ask you for something."

Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao were stunned and said:

"What is big brother saying? It concerns Ning'er and our family's inheritance. Just say it. Even if you want our lives, we won't hesitate!"

"Do you have a way to let Ning'er live?"

Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao already vaguely felt something, and said decisively.

"Not bad!"

Zhang Jiao nodded: "Because our three brothers' luck is connected and too deeply involved with the Yellow Turban army's luck, we can no longer escape!"

"But Ning'er is different. Strictly speaking, she did not join the Yellow Turban army, and her involvement with the Yellow Turban army's luck is not deep."

"Now, we only need the three of us to use our own luck as a knife to completely cut off the connection between Ning'er and us, and the Yellow Turban army's luck, to ensure that Ning'er will not be dragged down and backlashed by luck in the future."

"At the same time, it can also preserve a glimmer of vitality for the Taiping Dao."

"It's just that once this method is used, our luck will decline more severely, and our defeat and death will be faster. Have you really thought about it?"

When he said this, a flash of pain flashed in his eyes.

His two younger brothers were on this dead end because of him.

It was he, the big brother, who did not lead them well.

"What else is there to hesitate about?"

Hearing this, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao looked at each other and laughed freely: "Ning'er is also our own niece. We are actually afraid that if we go to the underworld and see our parents, we won't be able to explain it."

"If we can save Ning'er, at least we have some confidence to stand tall."

"Big brother! What should we do? Let's start now!"

The two urged him.

"Good!"
