Three Kingdoms: Peak Summons

Chapter 519 Zhang Liang, Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 518: Zhang Liang, Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty

"oh?"

Zhang Sheng didn't know what Zhang Sanfeng was thinking. Hearing this, he immediately smiled and asked, "Second uncle, where does this joy come from?"

 Zhang Sanfeng shouted from outside: "Come in, third brother."

Under everyone's surprised eyes, General Zhang Liang, the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty, slowly walked to the hall and saluted: "Zhang Liang, the guilty minister, pays homage to your Majesty."

Zhang Sheng's eyes were also full of surprises. If she hadn't considered the differences between men and women, she would have rushed down excitedly and grabbed Zhang Liang's hand to show that she valued Zhang Liang.

 “Prime Minister, no, third uncle does not need to be polite,”

Zhang Sheng suppressed the excitement in his heart and said sincerely: "My nephew has been looking forward to the return of my third uncle for a long time."

 Zhang Sheng was really working hard during this period. If Zhang Liang and Xiang Yu were assisting her, a lot of troubles could have been avoided directly. At least the princes from all over the country would not dare to be so unscrupulous.

But Zhang Liang had regained his freedom early tomorrow, but he never returned to the Ming Dynasty. This also made Zhang Sheng think about it. Is Zhang Liang dissatisfied with his accession to the throne? Fortunately, Zhang Liang finally came back.

Looking at his adopted niece, who was dressed in imperial robes and looked as handsome as a demon, Zhang Liangliang was filled with emotions.

The reason why Zhang Liang delayed his return until now was because he wanted to test Zhang Sheng's ability, and Zhang Sheng's performance can simply be described as amazing.

Even I can’t do much better than her, right?

 Zhang Liangbuyou sighed sincerely in his heart: Brother, you did not choose the wrong person this time!

Of course, it’s amazing. Zhang Sheng has also made many mistakes during the three months he has been in power, such as directly rejecting the Yin and Yang family!

Zhang Liang also doesn’t like Baijia who has ulterior motives, but the situation of Ming Dynasty being surrounded by enemies on all sides cannot get any worse, so no force should be spared, but Zhang Sheng wants to completely cut off the connection with Baijia.

Zhang Sheng’s intention was naturally good. After all, the Baijia had always been using the Yellow Turbans. The connection between the Ming Dynasty and the Baijia was not so easy to cut off.

You must know that Zhang Jiao, the founder of the Yellow Turbans, was a member of the Yin-Yang family, Zhang Liang was also a Confucian, Zhang Sanfeng was a Taoist, and even Zhang Sheng himself was a political strategist.

 It can be seen from this that the Yellow Turbans and the Baijia have long been inseparable from each other. If they have to cut off, they must break their muscles and bones. Fang La's backlash is the best lesson, but the Ming Dynasty really can't afford any turmoil.

Zhang Liang was also afraid that Zhang Sheng would continue to act loyally, so he chose such a critical moment to return. Zhang Liang did not expect Zhang Sheng to accept Baijia, at least not to become enemies!

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Liang's face immediately became extremely solemn, and he said solemnly: "Your Majesty, our country is in danger now. One wrong step may lead to endless abyss, so you must be careful in the future."

Zhang Sheng's expression froze. She knew there was something behind Zhang Liang's words. He was blaming her for rejecting the Yin Yang family, but she did not regret it.

“Uncle San is right, it’s better to be taught.”

 Zhang Sheng looked like he was asking for advice humbly. In order to prevent Zhang Liang from continuing to preach, he quickly handed the scroll to Zhang Liang.

“Third uncle, what do you think about this prisoner of war issue?”

 A trace of relief flashed in Zhang Liang's eyes. At least Zhang Sheng was not disgusted with his preaching, but after reading it, Zhang Liang had a serious look on his face.

"Your Majesty, our army must rescue these prisoners of war, otherwise our army will have difficulty facing this situation of being surrounded by enemies on all sides, but the formulation of this plan is a bit too rough."

Zhang Sheng originally thought that Yang Dingtian's plan was perfect, but he didn't expect it to be so unpalatable in Zhang Liang's mouth. He immediately said: "Third uncle, is there any problem with this plan?"

“There are many problems. First of all, Dagu Pass is not that easy to capture, and even if it can be captured by luck, it will still be difficult to return to Yanzhou.

Most of the prisoners of war who escaped were infantry, and it was absolutely impossible for the Han Dynasty to let the prisoners of war escape back to Yanzhou. What if they sent cavalry to pursue them? Dong Zhuo left a team of Liangzhou cavalry in Sizhou! "

 Zhang Sheng immediately realized the seriousness of the problem and hurriedly said: "Then what should we do?"

Zhang Liang did not respond, but continued: "In addition, there is also the issue of food and grass along the way. It is impossible for nearly 200,000 prisoners of war to go from Sizhou to Yanzhou without eating or drinking, and Yang Dingtian is very concerned about food and grass. The problem is too optimistic.”

 Zhang Sheng's face couldn't help but turn a little pale. Why hadn't she thought of such an important issue? She couldn't help but rely on Zhang Liang even more. “Third uncle, do you have any ideas to teach me?”

After Zhang Liang pondered for a while, he nodded and said: "First of all, the imperial court must send troops to respond immediately. It will be too late. Secondly, meal stations must be set up along the way. Otherwise, if the army falls into a food shortage, it may escape and disperse. Finally, , Your Majesty must send an order to Xiang Yu, asking them to set up defense lines along the way to snipe the invading enemy. "

 Zhang Sheng has no objections to the first two points, but he has some thoughts on the last point.

“Third uncle, how can such a prisoner of war, who has just escaped from a prisoner-of-war camp and lacks all weapons and equipment, be able to block the pursuit of a big man?”

 “Of course it can’t be stopped.”

Zhang Liang sighed, and then said in a deep voice: "But the matter has come to this, we can only sacrifice the small to protect the big. There is no other way."

 “That’s the only way it can be.”

 Zhang Sheng looked helpless. She didn't want to save everyone, but this was impossible!

Looking at the generals in the hall, Zhang Sheng said in a deep voice: "Generals, who is willing to take on this important task?"

 Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Zicheng were the first to stand up, saying in unison: "The last general wishes..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Sanfeng interjected: "Your Majesty, Zhang Junbao is willing to take on this important task."

A trace of surprise flashed in Zhang Sheng's eyes. She knew that Zhang Bao had been severely hit after the defeat of Jizhou. It had been a long time since he had personally led an army. It was rare that he took the initiative to take the task this time.

"In that case, leave it to the third uncle. The general will be assisted by several other generals. We must bring the brothers back!" Zhang Sheng warned seriously.

 A hint of determination flashed in Zhang Sanfeng's eyes, he cupped his fists and said in a deep voice: "No!"

　　————

 Nanyang, Wancheng.

“My lord, this is the candidate who has been found on the list.”

Qin Hao took the scroll from Wei Zhuang's hand, opened it and read it, and was immediately overjoyed.

“Damn, I actually got one implanted into my own hands. I’m really lucky.” Qin Hao thought happily.

Hundred Zhao Cards summoned one hundred poets at once. Except for the five that Qin Hao got, the other ninety-five were randomly implanted in various places.

 For these talents, Qin Hao naturally had the mentality of making money one by one, and asked Wei Zhuang to check them one by one according to the list.

Weizhuang has lived up to Qin Hao's trust. With the cooperation of Hei Bingtai and Jin Yiwei, it has only been a while since he got the exact news.

 It can be seen that Qin Hao's heavy investment in Heibingtai and Jinyiwei is completely worth it.

We will be summoning again soon, and this time the characters being summoned are very important, so please stay tuned! Second update coming, please subscribe and recommend votes...
