Chapter 601: Yuan Shao

When Zhang Jiao, standing on the high platform, raised his hands high, the mountain-collapsing and sea-roaring sound below instantly quieted down.

Pair after pair of extremely devout eyes, filled with hope, looked at the figure on the high platform.

Jia Xu and Hao Zhao were also looking at Zhang Jiao on the high platform from within the crowd.

Withered, old, and unremarkable.

Jia Dong found it hard to imagine what kind of sorcery Zhang Jiao possessed that made so many people willing to follow him.

Everyone said it was because Zhang Jiao's talisman water could cure illnesses and save people.

But Jia Dong had also seen that talisman water, and it didn't feel that magical.

At this moment, all the Taiping Dao believers in Julu County who had gathered under the high platform focused their eyes on Zhang Jiao.

And Zhang Jiao, in his yellow Taoist robes, was bathed in the sunlight above the crowd.

"The Azure Heaven is dead!"

"The people are suffering!"

"The year is Jiazi!"

"Great peace under heaven!"

"I am the Great Virtuous Teacher. You Taiping Dao believers will follow me to Luoyang. Along the way, there will be grain and grass supplies provided by the various Taoist branches."

"Everyone must follow the Taoist rules; do not disturb the people, do not enter the cities, and do not leave!"

"Only when the Son of Heaven sees the suffering of us living beings can the people be allowed to recuperate."

After a few sentences, sweat had already begun to seep from Zhang Jiao's forehead.

Fortunately, they were far away, so even if Zhang Jiao's facial expression was somewhat painful, the people below could not see it clearly.

And until Zhang Jiao's voice fell, Jia Dong and Hao Zhao finally understood.

What gathering a crowd to rebel.

What inciting civil unrest.

Isn't this clearly nonsense?

Is this Zhang Jiao gathering a crowd to rebel?

Is this inciting civil unrest?

There is no such way to gather a crowd to rebel.

"The Azure Heaven is dead, the people are suffering, the year is Jiazi, great peace under heaven!"

"The Azure Heaven is dead, the people are suffering, the year is Jiazi, great peace under heaven!"

"The Azure Heaven is dead, the people are suffering, the year is Jiazi, great peace under heaven!"

Countless sounds like a mountain collapsing and a sea roaring followed, one wave higher than the next!

On the very afternoon that Zhang Jiao issued the order, tens of thousands of Taiping Dao believers set off from Julu toward the direction of Wei Commandery.

Wei Commandery, Ye County, Governor's Mansion.

Since the New Year, Yuan Shao had been enfeoffed as the Governor of Wei Commandery, Jizhou, after the battle in Liangzhou.

After the New Year, Yuan Shao, along with Xu You, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou, had impatiently taken up his post.

However, everything seemed a bit different from what Yuan Shao had imagined.

At this moment, Yuan Shao, sitting in the study, was in a daze.

The desk in front of him was very clean, without a single bamboo slip, and two delicate maids were standing at the door.

The study was tidy and clean.

But Yuan Shao, sitting in this study of the Governor's Mansion, always felt as if something was missing.

Back in Liangzhou, seeing Duan Yu in Hanyang Commandery, he was almost busy until dark every day before he could go home.

As soon as he left home in the morning, there was endless government business waiting for Duan Yu.

Autumn harvest, flood prevention, border defense, visiting, implementing new policies...

At that time, Yuan Shao, just watching, felt that Duan Yu's day was truly fulfilling.

After taking up his post in Wei Commandery, Yuan Shao had thought that he could finally be like Duan Yu, governing a region and educating the people. ===== CHAPTER 603 =====
