Chapter 180: Brainstorming

"Channel Commander! The Great Virtuous Teacher has started the rebellion, and now brothers in all states of the world have responded." "Channel Commander, let's respond too. Let's go attack Ganyu and Donghai Commandery now."

In the first year of Zhongping, in January—no, that's wrong—in the first year of Zhongping, in January, on this day, in the camp of Su Fan in Donghai Commandery, a group of Taiping Dao masters and several Taiping Dao military commanders came to find Su Fan.

"That's right, Channel Commander, Great Channel Commander Guan Hai has already started the rebellion. Half a month ago, he was already besieging Langya Commandery."

"What?"

A group of people surrounded Su Fan early in the morning. Su Fan didn't know what was going on, but when he heard that Guan Hai had started the rebellion, he instantly woke up.

"Guan Hai has started the rebellion? The Great Virtuous Teacher has started the rebellion? When did this happen?"

Su Fan was a bit confused, but his expression changed quickly. In his memory, there should still be some time before the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Originally, the Yellow Turban Rebellion started hastily because Tang Zhou leaked the secret, forcing Zhang Jiao to start.

Now it seems to be even earlier.

He hadn't heard any news, which of course was related to the fact that he was far away from the center, and the information was relatively blocked.

But Zhang Jiao's sudden rebellion still caught him off guard.

"What exactly is going on? Tell me in detail."

Su Fan is the Channel Commander here, naturally the biggest. Although these masters and the military commanders under them are also under his jurisdiction, they are freer and count as guests.

Su Fan had never required these people to obey his orders, and they had never competed with Su Fan for power.

In fact, there had been some at the beginning, but unfortunately, after being taught a lesson by Su Fan and seeing Su Fan's methods, they immediately became honest.

But they were only honest and did not submit to Su Fan. After all, they were masters of the Taiping Palace of the Taiping Dao, and their status was not much worse than Su Fan, who was a registered disciple of Zhang Jiao.

"Cough, cough! It's like this, Channel Commander..."

Finally, under the explanation of a master, Su Fan understood the whole story. Indeed, Tang Zhou had "rebelled."

Then he leaked the secret of Zhang Jiao, and the imperial court began to send people to arrest the high-level members of the Taiping Dao. Zhang Jiao had no choice but to rebel.

However, Su Fan smelled a strong scent of conspiracy in all of this.

Su Fan didn't believe at all that Tang Zhou would betray Zhang Jiao.

In the historical romance plane, Su Fan didn't know why Tang Zhou would betray Zhang Jiao, but in this super-martial world, especially since he had followed Zhang Jiao for a period of time with the other party,

he knew very well that anyone could betray Zhang Jiao, but Tang Zhou would not. This guy was simply a fanatic believer in Zhang Jiao.

Zhang Jiao sent Tang Zhou to Luoyang City, also trusting the former quite a bit.

These masters gritted their teeth when mentioning Tang Zhou, but Su Fan didn't believe it at all.

Instead, he felt that there was a thick conspiracy in it. It just so happened that Tang Zhou betrayed and leaked the secret at this time; no matter how you look at it, it was intentional.

As a direct disciple of Zhang Jiao, Tang Zhou did not practice the Yellow Heaven Great Art of the Taiping Dao, but the Soul Dao method he practiced was not bad either. It is said to be a top-tier Soul Dao cultivation method recorded in the Taiping scriptures.

The year before last, when Su Fan saw him, Tang Zhou was already a Soul Dao cultivator at the fifth level of Soul-Refining.

The fifth level of Soul-Refining can be said to be the top literati cultivation at present. Even some high-ranking officials in the center of the imperial court had not reached this realm.

With such strong strength, being "forced" to betray—the power behind this must be very strong.

Yes, in Su Fan's eyes, Tang Zhou could not betray Zhang Jiao, so this betrayal and leaking of the secret was done by someone behind the scenes.

Obviously, it would not be the Liu family. If they wanted to deal with Zhang Jiao, they wouldn't need to go to such trouble; they could just go and arrest Zhang Jiao directly.

"Aristocratic clans?"

Su Fan first thought of aristocratic clans.

"If it really is an aristocratic clan, then it's interesting. The Taiping Dao has developed so fast; it seems that it also has a lot to do with them."

"In that case, the Taiping Dao in history also had these great aristocratic clans pushing it behind the scenes."

"The purpose was to strike at the Great Han. The Yellow Turban Rebellion did indeed cause the Liu family to lose too much power. In history, although the Taiping Dao was quickly suppressed, it also made many people see the weakness of the imperial court."

"When the imperial court was suppressing the Yellow Turbans, it relaxed the restrictions on local powerful clans, which is why there were so many warlords later on."

Su Fan felt that he had discovered a big secret. If this was the case, in this world, perhaps the Taiping Dao, and even Zhang Jiao, were very likely used as pawns.

The purpose was to impact the Divine Han Dynasty and consume the power of the Liu family.

"Then behind this, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as aristocratic clans. Perhaps the Daoist school also participated. Otherwise, how did the Taiping scriptures get into Zhang Jiao's hands?"

Thinking of this, Su Fan's scalp suddenly went numb.

If it really is like this, then it's terrifying.

Of course, the Yellow Turban Rebellion in history not only gave the Great Han a big blow, but for the great aristocratic clans, it also had quite a few surprises.

Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban Rebellion almost succeeded. If it weren't for Zhang Jiao's sudden death, the Great Han's imperial army might not necessarily have been the winner in the Great Battle of Julu.

"Then in this world, will Zhang Jiao really be a pawn? Does he know his situation?"

"With his cultivation, he shouldn't know nothing, right?"

"If he knows, then he still does this—is it confidence in his own strength?"

At this moment, Su Fan's brainstorming was wide open.

He associated a lot.

Su Fan didn't care whether Zhang Jiao could succeed or not. He didn't have any good feelings for the Divine Han or those great aristocratic clans.

He came to this world for the sake of cultivation, to improve his realm, and then to improve his cultivation as much as possible, so that the power of the soul seed he brought back would be greater.

Of course, if Zhang Jiao could really succeed, as a registered disciple of Zhang Jiao, he might get quite a few benefits. There are countless secret manuals in the library of the imperial capital of the Divine Han Dynasty.

Perhaps at that time, he would have a chance to take a look.

Of course, it's probably impossible most of the time.

If Zhang Jiao is really as he thought, a pawn of aristocratic clans and the Daoist school, and even some dark forces, then if he wants to break free and overturn this chessboard, it will definitely not be that simple.

The strong behind this must be emerging one after another.

"Then I must not lie in this muddy water."

If it were the world of historical romance, he would still have some confidence, but in this super-martial world, Su Fan really didn't dare to make many moves.

"Channel Commander, Channel Commander, are you going to send troops or not?"

Just as Su Fan was brainstorming, these masters were unhappy and shouted one by one.

"Send troops, send troops."

"You only know how to talk. How many troops do you have? And you want to attack Donghai Commandery? Do you know how many imperial troops are in Donghai Commandery, and you dare to send troops?"

Su Fan said unhappily. ===== CHAPTER 181 =====
