My name is Huang Tian, ​​what the hell is this "Heaven is dead" nonsense?

Chapter 20 Before the power of immortals, those who submit prosper, those who defy perish.
'This spiritual water really does have healing and health-strengthening effects!'

Tian Feng stared intently at the spiritual water in the bowl, his heart filled with disbelief.

He believed more in the existence of gods and immortals than he doubted them, otherwise he wouldn't have risked entering the city. But since he never witnessed a "miracle" with his own eyes, he could never be completely certain.

But now he is certain that gods do exist!
That bowl of spiritual water is proof enough!
Tian Feng stood on the outskirts of the crowd, watching as the faces of those who drank the spiritual water gradually became rosy, and remained in a daze for a long time.

"Mr. Tian? Mr. Tian!" Xiao Wu's voice came.

Tian Feng snapped out of his daze.

Xiao Wu stepped forward and said, "If you are curious about the spiritual water later, there will be plenty of time to come and see. Let's go to the Recruitment Office first."

Tian Feng nodded silently, returned to the oxcart, and followed Xiao Wu around and around until they finally arrived at the county government office, where the recruitment office was located.

Entering the county government office and passing through the temple gate, one sees the main hall, which has always been where the county magistrate handles government affairs. Tian Feng was led into a side room, where he met He Yi, the leader of the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

He Yi was originally from Runan. He came from a humble background and was a tenant farmer. Later, he followed Zhang Jiao and served him at all times, learning a lot of writing.

After Zhang Jiao raised an army in Ye City, he served as a leader under Zhang Jiao and won many battles. Even when Zhang Jiao was defeated by Lu Zhi one after another, he never abandoned him and was trusted by Zhang Jiao.

The person in charge of this Yellow Turban Recruitment was He Yi. He was of good character, literate, and trustworthy.

He Yi saw that Tian Feng was tall and had a resolute face when he entered the room, and felt a sense of goodwill towards him. He stood up and greeted him, "May I ask your honorable name, sir?"

Tian Feng was about to reveal the pseudonym "Tian Yuan" when the scene of the healing with spiritual water he had just witnessed suddenly flashed through his mind. He blurted out, "I am Tian Feng, courtesy name Yuanhao, from the Tian clan of Julu."

Even though the Tian family was declining, it was still quite famous in Julu County, and Guangzong was located in Julu County. How could He Yi not know the reputation of the Tian family?

He exclaimed with delight, "I never imagined he was a gentleman from the Tian family!"

Since the recruitment order was issued, most of those who responded were commoners and scholars from humble backgrounds, with only twelve or thirteen coming from wealthy and powerful families, and none from aristocratic families.

Tian Feng was the first aristocratic youth to be willing to join the Yellow Turban Rebellion!

"I have also heard of Tian Jun's reputation. He is extremely filial to his parents and has exceptional talent and strategy. It is truly a great fortune to have your assistance!" He Yi said with a smile, holding Tian Feng's hand.

Since Tian Feng had revealed his real name, he was determined to join the Yellow Turban Rebellion. However, he still had many clansmen remaining in Ye City, so he earnestly said:

“I am willing to serve you with utmost loyalty, but my clansmen are still in Ye City. Therefore, I hope you can conceal my identity and let me serve under the name Tian Yuan.”

“This is a trivial matter!” He Yi replied without hesitation.

If he were Tian Feng, he would also worry about the safety of his family. After all, although the Yellow Turban Army is currently strong, it has only taken over Julu County for the time being. Once the entire Ji Province is under its control, Tian Feng can naturally restore his original name.

"Mr. Tian, ​​do you want to join the National Academy of Government or the Academy of Sciences?" He Yi asked.

"Please explain this to me," Tian Feng said.

He Yi then explained the differences between the two academies, and also mentioned that if he made great contributions, he would have the opportunity to enter the Taoist academy and learn magic from Huang Tianshen.

Tian Feng's heart was burning with excitement.

Spell?

Immortal magic?

Is it possible to live forever?

He suppressed his longing for immortal arts and said, "I don't understand the art of machinery very well, so I'd better join the government."

He Yi nodded knowingly: "Then please wait here for a moment, I will go and report to the Great Teacher."

Tian Feng was the first scion of a prominent family to join the Yellow Turban Army, so it was impossible to just give him any position. To give him an important position, Zhang Jiao had to agree.

After He Yi left, Tian Feng sat on the mat with peace of mind, thinking about what the legendary Yellow Heaven God looked like, whether he had a chance to learn the immortal techniques, and then he thought about the four-hundred-year-old Han Dynasty and his own family.

Yes, he is loyal to the Han Dynasty, but more importantly, he is loyal to his family; the family's survival is his primary concern. With the change of dynasty imminent, he needs to find a suitable place for his family in the new era…

Before long, Zhang Jiao, dressed in an apricot-yellow Taoist robe and holding a nine-section staff, entered the house.

"Tian Jun."

Zhang Jiao's voice was unexpectedly gentle, unlike the rough and rugged voice Tian Feng had guessed.

Tian Feng rose and greeted the Great Teacher, saying, "Feng greets the Great Teacher."

Zhang Jiao smiled kindly. "I come from Ji Province and have long heard of Lord Tian's great name. Now that Lord Tian has joined my Yellow Heaven Great Peace Path, I am overjoyed and wish to appoint you as my chief clerk. Please do not refuse."

The Yellow Turban Army now controls almost the entire Julu Commandery. Zhang Jiao, as the Great Teacher of Virtue, is equivalent to the governor of Julu Commandery, while the chief clerk is responsible for managing documents, registers, and seals. He is the governor's "confidential secretary" and holds a prestigious position.

Offering such a position shows Zhang Jiao's sincerity, and Tian Feng was overjoyed, bowing down and saying, "I am deeply grateful for the great and virtuous teacher's high regard; how could I not devote myself to the utmost?"

Zhang Jiao helped Tian Feng up and said kindly, "From now on, we are all of the same path under the Yellow Heaven, so there's no need to be distant."

He turned to He Yi and instructed, "Go and prepare a new house for Yuan Hao. Do not neglect it."

"Yes, sir!" He Yi accepted the order and left.

Zhang Jiao then spoke with Tian Feng for a while before leaving, citing busy schedules.

Throughout the entire process, Zhang Jiao showed complete trust in Tian Feng, seemingly without any concern as to whether Tian Feng was a spy for the Han army.

In fact, it is true.

As long as Tian Feng can be used by the Yellow Turban Army, who cares about his thoughts and ideas!
As for the possibility that Tian Feng might leak intelligence, that's a completely pointless concern.

Because those who have never witnessed the might of Heaven and the power of the gods can never imagine His greatness!
With the Holy Venerable Huangtian here, and with the vast and mighty immortal laws at work, those who follow him will prosper, and those who oppose him will perish!

All schemes and tricks are a joke in the face of absolute power...

……

……

"General Huangfu has arrived! Our Great Han Heavenly Army now numbers forty thousand men, stretching to the heavens and connecting with the earth, a vast and mighty force. It is time to march on Guangzong, seize the city, and annihilate the rebels!"

In the county seat, in the main hall of the county government office, Cao Cao, facing kneeling Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi, Dong Zhuo, Zong Yuan, and others, spoke passionately and pointed out the landscape.

Lu Zhi remained silent, only shaking his head.

Cao Cao frowned. "Lord Lu, you disagreed with me sending troops before because my army was small, but now we have 40,000 troops, strong and well-equipped, with high morale. Why do you still think we can't go to war?"

Lu Zhi stubbornly insisted, "If we don't clarify the matter of the Yellow Heaven God, it will be easy to be defeated if we send troops."

Cao Cao laughed in exasperation, "When will we find out? You've sent many spies into Guangzong, and you still haven't figured it out?"

Lu Zhi sighed.

He didn't know why no messages were sent back after they secretly entered Guangzong. Had they all been discovered and killed?
At this moment, Huangfu Song suddenly spoke up: "No matter what the so-called Yellow Heaven God is, we must send troops. His Majesty has issued two decrees in succession, ordering us to annihilate the Yellow Turbans in Ji Province as soon as possible."

When Huangfu Song, the commander-in-chief, spoke, Dong Zhuo had no choice but to agree: "I think we should send out troops as soon as possible, otherwise if we delay, the Yellow Turban rebels will train their troops and the battle will be even more difficult."

Huangfu Song nodded, then stared intently at Lu Zhi with sharp eyes, "Lord Lu, what do you think?"

What could Lu Zhi say? He had no choice but to agree.

Huangfu Song's lips curled slightly. He stood tall, drew his sword from his waist with a clang, and forcefully chopped off the corner of the table, exuding confidence and triumph.

"Issue my order: march on Guangzong and annihilate the Moth Rebels!!"
