Chapter 719 Yimi Meat

In early January of the second year of Jian'an, after spending the New Year in Nanyang, Zhang Zha officially swore to go out for battle. He claimed to have an army of 50,000. He set out from Wancheng, marched westward, and soon entered Shangyong County.

Boom!

Among the grass, a small black and white animal was crawling around, seeming to be looking for food, but suddenly it was startled, and when it turned around, it saw smoke and dust billowing in the distance, and the ground was shaking slightly, as if it was a small animal. The huge beast came across mountains and rivers, and it was so frightened that it swooped into the woods and disappeared after a while.

On the straight official road, a large army could be seen advancing forward in a serious manner. The men and horses were all wearing black armor and looked serious. There was one flag for every two hundred people in the army. For more than 20,000 people, there were more than a hundred flags. They surrounded the large banner with the character "Zhang" in the middle and the flags were fluttering.

Now Zhang Jia has been promoted to the title of General Zhennan. According to the official positions in the Han Dynasty, the general, the hussar general, the chariot general, the four generals at the front, the left and the right, the four towns, and the four expedition generals are all qualified to establish the central army. General generals only You can raise the flag, but you cannot raise the banner.

"General, less than fifty miles further on, we will reach Fangling City."

The speaker nodded and bowed. He was not wearing armor, but after entering Shangyong County with Zhang Jia, he found a sharp-tongued guide from the local area to guide the army.

He sat on the horse with his jaw open and nodded. When he saw a pavilion in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little strange. The army was so fierce that there was no one in the pavilion. However, there were several buckets of rice and several taels of meat in the pavilion, and they looked quite fresh, as if they had only been put there for a few days.

"Chen Er, what's going on?" Zhang Jia pointed at the pavilion and asked curiously.

"Why is there rice and meat in this pavilion, and it is not spoiled?"

Chen Er smiled and explained: "The general came to Shangyong for the first time, and he didn't know anything. This is the decree of Master Shijun. He built pavilions in the counties of Hanzhong and Shangyong and placed rice and meat, which is called Yi rice and righteous meat can be used by all followers of my Five Pecks of Rice religion who are hungry or thirsty when traveling."

There was a look of surprise on his face, while Fazheng on the side smiled and said: "Chen Er, wouldn't this mean that all the rice and meat will be taken away?"

"Hey, it can't be like this."

Chen Er said seriously: "Master Zhang said that you can take it if you are hungry or thirsty, but if you take it selfishly, the Lord will blame you."

"Tianzun?"

Fa Zheng laughed: "Even the emperor will only imprison him for stealing, so how can the emperor punish him?"

"There really is a God!"

Chen Er said anxiously: "That day, Mrs. Zhang from our village was greedy and stole Yimi from the pavilion. As a result, all three members of the family died inexplicably. If this is not a punishment from the Lord, what is it?"

When Zhang Jia heard this, he couldn't help but sneer: "I'm afraid Zhang Lu secretly sent people to kill the three members of their family, just in the name of Tianzun. This trick was originally used by Zhang Lu when he followed the general to conquer the Yellow Turban Thieves. Brother Jiao San has already exhausted this trick, so it’s just a lie to you.”

Gods and Buddhas naturally do not exist, and those who use gods and Buddhas to deceive the common people are religious people at best, or charlatans at worst. When it comes to magic sticks, the three Zhang Jiao brothers are much more professional than Zhang Lu and others. Zhang Lu is just a separatist party, while the three Zhang Jiao brothers almost overturned the entire Eastern Han Dynasty.

The three brothers Zhang Jiao used various methods, such as the Yellow Turban Warriors, spreading beans and forming an army, but in the end they still failed to change the result of the Yellow Turban Army's destruction.

"this"

Chen Er was a little angry. Firstly, he was dissatisfied with Zhang Jia and Fazheng and was dissatisfied with Zhang Lu. Secondly, he felt that what they said seemed to make sense, so he couldn't help scratching his scalp.

"Haha, I guess the enemy didn't have time to take away these righteous rice and righteous meat. It seems that the soldiers are in good luck tonight."

He opened his jaw and laughed loudly, and ordered loudly: "This general orders me to take away all the righteous rice and righteous meat that I see along the way and give it to the enemy!"

"No!" Dajun agreed, very happy.

"You can't do that!" Chen Er immediately said in panic: "If you take righteous rice and righteous meat casually, Tianzun will definitely punish you. General, please don't do this."

He opened his jaw and sneered: "If there really is a Heavenly Lord, tens of thousands of troops under a certain command will crush it. What are you afraid of?"

When Chen Er saw Zhang Jia talking like this, he was too frightened to speak and just sighed.

"Zhang Zhennan, wait a minute." Fazheng suddenly said.

"Takanao, what's wrong?"

Seeing Fazheng opening his mouth, as if to dissuade Zhang Jia, Chen Er couldn't help but feel happy, hoping that the military advisor could dissuade the general. After all, Tianzun could not be offended.

"General Zhang, you need to be careful of the enemy's tactics. If these righteous rice and righteous meat are deliberately discarded by the enemy, and they are actually poisonous, wouldn't it cause great harm to our soldiers?" Fa Zheng said seriously.

"Takanao reminds me, otherwise I would have almost harmed all the soldiers!"

Zhang Jia suddenly came to his senses, and then ordered: "First put the righteous rice and righteous meat into the water, and use a silver needle to test whether it is poisonous. Only after it is confirmed to be non-toxic can it be eaten."

"promise!"

Chen Er patted his forehead. He originally thought that the military advisor who looked like a scholar would have some respect for Tianzun and persuade the general, but he didn't expect that he also wanted to eat righteous rice and righteous meat, so he was quite cautious.

At this moment, a sentry rider from the front galloped over and reported loudly to Zhang Jia: "General, we found a group of troops ten miles ahead, numbering about a thousand people. Do you want to send troops to attack it?"

"Don't worry, I will personally go and observe."

He opened his jaw and agreed, then turned to face Fa Zheng and said, "Xiao Zhi, I personally went forward to supervise the formation to see what is different about the Hanzhong Army. You can hold down the formation here."

Fazheng nodded, cupped his hands and said, "That's very good. Fazheng is waiting for the general's good news."

"Come with me!"

Zhang Jaw suddenly grabbed the reins, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and the horse galloped out with a long neigh, surrounded by more than a hundred riders following Zhang Jaw, rushing towards the front army.

There were 10,000 people in the front army, in order to prevent the enemy from making a surprise attack. However, at this moment, the front army stopped and quietly waited for Zhang Jaw's arrival.

"what happened?"

A flying horse arrived with open jaws. The former military academy captain took a step forward and said respectfully: "Zhang Zhennan, there are enemy troops in front of us. There are about a thousand people. They are playing tricks and don't know what they are doing."

"I'll take a look."

Zhang Jace immediately stepped forward, and when he took a closer look, he saw a group of men and horses in front. Their armor and weapons were not as good as those of the Liangzhou army, and the soldiers were loose and loose, so there was nothing to fear.

snort! mob.

However, among these soldiers, there were more than a dozen Taoist priests who were closing their eyes and relaxing.
