Chapter 799: The Saint of Taiping Visits Luzhou
Although the Yellow Turban Army in Luzhou is still nominally under the leadership of the Taiping Sect Headquarters, anyone with a discerning eye knows that after so many years of hard work by Meng Zhang, the hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban Army in Luzhou have long been turned into a place where Meng Zhang has the final say.
Therefore, the current situation between the Yellow Turban Army of Luzhou and the Taiping Sect Headquarters is that the Yellow Turban Army of Luzhou is strong, while the Taiping Sect Headquarters is weak.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Jue decided to send an envoy to Luzhou to test Meng Zhang's attitude.
In any case, the Yellow Turban Army in Luzhou nominally belonged to the Taiping Sect.
Now the Yellow Turban Army in Luzhou has quietly mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops, but there is no news at all from the Taiping Sect, which is nominally the leader of the Yellow Turban Army.
Although they had expected that Meng Zhang would not take the now declining Taiping Sect seriously, they still had to express their opinion.
Now it is the Taiping Sect that needs the support of the Luzhou Yellow Turban Army, a new force, rather than Meng Zhang's Luzhou Yellow Turban Army needing the Taiping Sect's tiger skin.
Therefore, the Taiping Sect represented by Zhang Jue does not have enough confidence when facing the Yellow Turban Army in Luzhou.
Thinking of this, Zhang Jue lowered his brows and pondered for a moment, then waved his hand to call his daughter Zhang Ning and his trusted general Shan Shituo, who he had recently recalled from Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhang Ning, the Holy Maiden of the Taiping Sect, is not only extremely beautiful, but also possesses extraordinary wisdom and courage. Shan Shituo is one of the few brave generals in the Taiping Sect who is truly loyal to him, with immense strength and bravery.
With the two of them going there, I think there shouldn't be any accidents.
"Ning'er, go to Luzhou with Shanshituo, meet Meng Zhang, and ask him what his plans are."
Zhang Jue ordered, with a hint of worry in his eyes.
"Remember, be careful in everything you do. Meng Zhang is a man you should not underestimate."
Zhang Ning accepted the order, but was secretly thinking about it in his heart.
Although she had never met Meng Zhang, she had long heard of his name.
In her opinion, Meng Zhang was not only a general with great talent and strategy, but also an ambitious man with unfathomable ambitions.
There is a high probability that this trip to Luzhou will not go smoothly.
At his peak, he was the "General Longxiang" who could command millions of Yellow Turban troops with ease.
Zhang Ning naturally wouldn't be so conceited as to think that he could beat such a gifted child.
The next morning, Zhang Ning and Shan Shituo led a team of elite guards and set out for Luzhou. They rode at full speed all the way and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
All we saw along the way were the Yellow Turban Army's flags flying, troops being frequently mobilized, and a tense atmosphere on the eve of a great war filling the air.
A few days later, they finally arrived at the headquarters of the Yellow Turban Army in Luzhou. The Yellow Turban camps stretched for dozens of miles, like two giant dragons circling, magnificent and imposing.
Zhang Ning and Shan Shituo looked at each other, and both were shocked. They had realized that this was about to become the battlefield that would change the fate of the Daqian Dynasty.
Inside the big tent, Meng Zhang was discussing the specific details of the march north with several core generals. When he heard his personal guards reporting the arrival of Zhang Ning and Shan Shituo, he was startled for a moment, then smiled faintly.
He knew that Zhang Ning's arrival meant that the Taiping Sect headquarters had already noticed the movements of the Yellow Turban Army in Luzhou, but this was all within expectations.
The specific ideas of the Taiping Sect are not important to Meng Zhang, who is now on the verge of a showdown.
Under Meng Zhang's personal reception, Zhang Ning and Mountain Lion Camel were led into the towering tent.
The candlelight flickered in the tent, and Meng Zhang sat in front of the sand table, looking calm. He glanced at Zhang Ning and Shan Shituo, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Saintess, General Shan, long time no see."
Meng Zhang looked at the two people who were a little reserved and spoke softly.
"General Meng, long time no see. General Shan and I came here this time on the orders of my father to inquire about the general's specific plans for the north."
Zhang Ning lowered his head slightly and bowed.
Meng Zhang smiled slightly and his gaze stayed on Zhang Ning for a moment.
When the Taiping Sect Headquarters had previously acted together with the Yellow Turban Army of Luzhou, he had seen the wisdom and courage of Zhang Ning, the Saint of the Taiping Sect. He also understood that the Taiping Sect Headquarters had sent her this time both to gather information and to show goodwill.
"Saint Lady Zhang, do you know the ambitions of our Yellow Turban Army?"
"We, the Yellow Turban Army, are determined to overthrow the tyranny of the Daqian Dynasty and establish a peaceful and prosperous era. Now that the time has come, the Yellow Turban Army of Luzhou will naturally take the lead."
Meng Zhang asked slowly, then waved his hand with a high-sounding look on his face.
Zhang Ning's heart moved and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
She has always known Meng Zhang's ambition, and she doesn't believe a word of what Meng Zhang said about the Yellow Turban Army's long-cherished goal of peace and prosperity!
"General Meng, my father is also well aware of the Yellow Turban Army's ambitions. I just hope that the General can take into account the interests of the Taiping Sect Headquarters and advance and retreat together."
Zhang Ning said cautiously, trying to find out Meng Zhang's true thoughts.
"Saint, just relax. I, Meng Zhang, have always acted uprightly. This time, the Yellow Turban Army of Luzhou went north to attack Qianzhou for the sake of the people of the world and for a peaceful and prosperous world."
"If the Taiping Cult headquarters is willing to work together, I will welcome it. If not, I, Meng Zhang, will not force it."
Meng Zhang laughed loudly, with a sharp gleam in his eyes.
The mountain lion camel, who had been quietly watching the show, felt his blood boiling and a sense of respect welled up in his heart as he listened.
Although he was extremely brave, he also knew the importance of brains, and he naturally admired Meng Zhang, the strongest commander in the Yellow Turban Army.
"General Meng, the Saintess and I will definitely convey the General's intention to General Tiangong."
The mountain lion camel bowed and said, with a hint of respect in his tone.
"That's great, Saint Lady, General Shan, I, Meng Zhang, look forward to working hand in hand with the Taiping Sect Headquarters to create a peaceful and prosperous era."
Meng Zhang nodded and smiled, then said no more. Zhang Ning and Shan Shituo also tactfully said goodbye and left.
With the departure of Zhang Ning and Mountain Lion Camel, Meng Zhang once again turned his attention to the sand table.
He already had a complete plan for heading north in his mind. At this time, the Yellow Turban Army in Luzhou was already ready to go, waiting for Meng Zhang's order to march north and attack Qianzhou directly.
At the same time, in Qiandu, the center of Qianzhou, the Daqian Dynasty was the first to be hit after the hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban Army under Meng Zhang's command marched north. Inside the Daqian Imperial Palace, the Daqian Imperial Palace stood majestically and magnificently, but it could not conceal the heavy haze that shrouded it at the moment.
The new Daqian Emperor Si Yiqi, a young emperor shouldering a heavy mission, was pacing anxiously in the imperial study with a furrowed brow and a serious expression.
Xuan Jing Si, the most mysterious intelligence agency in the Daqian Dynasty, has just reported a shocking piece of news: the Yellow Turban Army of Luzhou, the growing rebel force under the leadership of "General Longxiang" Meng Zhang, is gearing up to march northward and attack Qianzhou, the capital of the Daqian Dynasty!
