Call of the Other World: Rebuilding the Glory of Zhenbei

Chapter 12: Yellow Turban Conference, Saint Dongfang wins
Daxia Dynasty, Jizhou Road.

Somewhere deep in the mountains of Julu City.

Inside a pulpit.

It was dark inside the church, with an altar in the center. At this moment, an old man was sitting in the center of the altar.

He was wearing a yellow Taoist robe and a yellow turban, looking extremely solemn. A nine-section staff of heaven's will was placed beside him.

At this time, the old man was sitting in the center of the podium with his eyes closed, meditating. There were streams of green-white air surging on his body, making him look particularly extraordinary.

There were two other people standing beside him.

There was a man wearing a yellow Taoist robe, with a look of immortality on his face, and at this moment he looked very cold.

The young man was tall and did not look like a Taoist priest. Instead, he had the temperament of a warrior. He was also the youngest among the three.

And these three people are naturally the brothers Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang.

The first two people standing on the left and right below are Fan Zeng, the Yellow Turban Army’s division commander, and Xiang Yan, who was named the Great General Huangtian.

Zhang Jue glanced at the people in the forum calmly and said, "How is it, are all the people here?"

Upon hearing this, Fan Zeng, who was standing by, stepped forward and bowed his hands respectfully, saying, "My lord, except for the Saint Girl, all the nine Vajras and thirty-six generals have arrived."

Fan Zeng was a talent that Zhang Jue was looking for. He was a native of Yu on the Jizhou Road. Due to his commoner background, he was suppressed by the aristocratic families as a writer and lived in seclusion. He was depressed and then Zhang Jue found him and had a long conversation with him. Zhang Jue was attracted by his profound knowledge and was amazed by him. He appointed Fan Zeng as his military advisor.

Not only that, after a conversation with Fan Zeng, Zhang Jue learned that Fan Zeng had no children, and even asked Xiang Yu, the leader of the nine Vajras under his command, to worship him as his father.

What is Yafu? It means second only to father.

This shows how much Zhang Jiao valued Fan Zeng.

Yafu, although it has the word "Ya" in front of it, it is equivalent to half a father.

The Great Xia Dynasty had a vast territory, with a total of fifteen circuits, each circuit had a county, and each circuit had a county town.

They are Yangcheng Road where the capital of Daxia is located, Jizhou Road where the Yellow Turbans are located, Youzhou Road where the Zhenbei Palace is located, etc.
After many talks with Fan Zeng, Xiang Yan and others, Zhang Jue decisively chose blitzkrieg. This would not only give full play to the Yellow Turbans' personnel advantage to avoid redundant soldiers, but also capture Jizhou Road in one fell swoop, leaving the loyal ministers of Daxia in various places with no reaction time and preventing them from coming to the king's defense.

The reason why they chose to start the uprising in Jizhou Road instead of Xiliang Road, Beiliang Road and other places was, first of all, due to the long-term incompetent rule of Emperor Xia, the people in various places had already been living in dire straits, and only a spark was needed to ignite the ignorant fire in the hearts of the civilian slaves.

Secondly, once the Jizhou Road is breached, with the logistics of the Tianyu, it will take several years to digest and then slowly conquer the surrounding territories, then the fire of the Yellow Turbans will surely burn fiercely.

By then, the Yellow Turban Army will become the Yellow Sky Empire!

At this moment, Zhang Jue looked around and saw that there were many talented people in the teaching field, which made his heart full of excitement.

He began his missionary activities by himself, and carried out extensive activities among the people by using talismans to cure diseases. He gained many followers, developed his power, and expanded his influence.

It has been more than ten years since then!
During these ten years, Taiping Sect has grown from a small sect to the Taoist sect with the largest number of followers in the Great Xia Dynasty, and its followers are spread all over the world of Great Xia.

The reason he was able to reach this point, apart from the instigation of crazy aristocratic families and some behind-the-scenes manipulators, was also because of the will of the people. The people in most parts of Daxia simply could not survive.

The people's support gave him strength!
Of course, the prerequisite for all this is that Zhang Jiao has to have this ambition!

As we all know, in any dynasty, there will be resistance forces who want to usurp the throne and become emperor. As the saying goes, the emperor takes turns, and it will be my turn next year. This has nothing to do with whether the dynasty is strong or the monarch is wise, because a person's ambition is endless, and as long as there is a chance, he will counterattack!
If a dynasty is powerful, those ambitious people can only choose to be ordinary people, continue to lie dormant, and dare not act rashly.

However, once something happens to the dynasty, those ambitious people will emerge one after another like mushrooms after a rain, and attack the dynasty fiercely.

This is exactly the case with the Great Xia Dynasty.

Just like a spark that can start a prairie fire, it took more than ten years for Taiping Dao to grow to its current size.

In particular, after he had a long conversation with Fan Zeng, it opened up a new world for Zhang Jue, that is, the importance of entrepreneurial talents!
To this end, Zhang Jue personally visited various places to spread the Taiping Dao and took the opportunity to recruit talents from all walks of life!

It is precisely because of the joining of these people that the Taiping Dao has developed faster and faster, and even the personal strength of some believers has been significantly improved!
Zhang Jue thought that God had been good enough to him, but he did not expect that his adopted daughter Dongfang Sheng would bring him another good news.

Dongfang Sheng was the daughter of Zhang Jue's sworn brother in his early years. Because of his tragic death at the hands of the Great Xia intelligence organization, the Crow Division, his wife and daughter were hunted down. On the way, they happened to meet the leader of the diplomacy team who was taking Qin Hao to study in the Great Xia Dynasty.

It just so happened that this leader of the strategists was an old friend of Dongfang Sheng's mother's father, so naturally he would not ignore him.

He originally wanted to entrust Dongfang Sheng to an old friend for upbringing. After all, he had never accepted a female disciple before. Moreover, he had to teach Qin Hao and had no time to look after Dongfang Sheng.

But Dongfang Sheng witnessed the death of his father and mother with his own eyes, and was filled with hatred for Da Xia. He was determined to kill Emperor Xia with his own hands to avenge himself, and he insisted on worshipping him as his master and learning the skills to take revenge.

The leader of the strategists was also in a difficult situation. Although he had promised his mother to take care of his daughter, he could not accept this female disciple.

Just when the leader of the strategists was in a dilemma, Qin Hao stepped forward and persuaded him, hoping to make his master change his mind.

The reason why Qin Hao helped Dongfang Sheng to speak was because he had nothing but admiration and pity for such an extraordinary woman. Now that he had met her, he, Qin Hao, could not just ignore her.

Of course Qin Hao also has his own selfish motives. Dongfang Sheng is only one year older than him, but he is already dazzlingly beautiful. What will happen when he grows up?

Qin Hao admitted that for girls who had feelings for him, he would naturally help them if he could.

The leader of the Zongheng family thought about Qin Hao's persuasion again and again, and finally did not agree to accept Dongfang Sheng as his disciple.

But he agreed that Dongfang Sheng could "listen" in while he was teaching, thus imparting knowledge in disguised form.

Dongfang Sheng also knew that Qin Hao had helped him get the spot as an auditor, and he was very grateful to Qin Hao.

Under Qin Hao's soft and hard offensive, Dongfang Sheng, a loli girl with only hatred in her heart, finally opened her heart to Qin Hao.

In the following years, the relationship between the two heated up rapidly. Qin Hao and Dongfang Sheng studied literature and martial arts together, traveled all over Daxia, and observed the vicissitudes of life.

After witnessing the sufferings of the common people and the darkness of the Daxia officialdom, Dongfang Sheng knew that the Daxia court was rotten to the core.

Is there really a need for such a dynasty to exist?

After thinking it over again and again, Dongfang Sheng went to the Taiping Sect to seek refuge with Zhang Jue.

When Zhang Jue learned that his brother's daughter was still alive, he was overjoyed. He immediately adopted Dongfang Sheng as his adopted daughter, and took care of her by his side, treating her like his own daughter.

Later, Dongfang Sheng used his sincerity to win over Qin Hao, a man with double pupils who fell in love with him at first sight, and his Qin family for his adoptive father.

This eventually led to him and his family joining the Taiping Dao, and Qin Hao became one of the nine Vajras of the Yellow Turban Army and Zhang Jiao's future son-in-law.
