Chapter 411: Yellow Turban Situation

From selecting soldiers, to formulating training plans, to the development of weapons and equipment, the Ouyang family has poured countless efforts and wisdom into every link.

The members of Tianxiao Zhanwu are all elites who have been selected through layers of selection.

Not only does he have a strong physique, he also has a firm will and excellent fighting skills.

After going through countless life-and-death tests, we have become the invincible and strong army we are today.

The weapons and equipment of Tianxiao Zhanwu are treasures passed down from generation to generation in the Ouyang family.

Each weapon contains the hard work and wisdom of the family’s predecessors. It shines brightly on the battlefield and helps Tianxiao Zhanwu to be invincible.

Moreover, Tian Xiao Zhanwu's battle record did not disappoint the Ouyang family's expectations and was truly brilliant.

Since its establishment, it has demonstrated its prowess on the battlefield many times and made outstanding contributions to the stability of the Daqian Dynasty.

Whether it was a border dispute or an internal rebellion, Tianxiao Zhanwu quickly quelled the war with lightning speed.

But I didn't expect that even the Ouyang family, a family of Three Kingdoms and loyal to the Daqian royal family, would have other ideas.

He left a backup plan within the Taiping Sect and the Yellow Turban Army.

All we can say is that the previous Emperor Daqian was too impatient and his methods were too cruel.

Even a behemoth like the Ouyang family, whose power in the court was no less than that of the three kings of different surnames, felt the crisis.

Otherwise, Ouyang Jing would not appear here this time.

Instead, he appeared beside Su Ye!

The previous Daqian Emperor weakened the various families within the Daqian Dynasty, and more than just the top god of war in the Daqian Dynasty was affected.

Other aristocratic families were also greatly affected. As a prominent and prestigious family in the Daqian Dynasty in recent years, the Ouyang family was naturally the first to be affected.

The Ouyang family, as a prominent and prestigious family in Daqian, has always made its name through military power. The tactics and weapons passed down from generation to generation have made them invincible on the battlefield.

However, it is this very prestige and power that also makes them a thorn in the eyes of the royal family.

Although the previous Emperor Daqian did not directly target the Ouyang family or launch a war against them because of the family's prestige in the army and the court in recent years.

However, in recent years, the Daqian court has weakened the Ouyang family in many ways, both openly and covertly.

The Ouyang family’s influence in the Daqian Dynasty and the military was largely eliminated.

Moreover, Gu Changqing, the Grand Tutor of Daqian and the Divine Pillar of the Daqian Nation of this generation, was a humble man who was promoted by several emperors of Daqian and had almost no aristocratic power behind him.

Naturally, they would not be lenient towards aristocratic families such as the Ouyang family, so the Ouyang family had a hard time in the Daqian Dynasty in recent years.

His influence in the court and the military was gradually weakened, many important positions were replaced by the court's cronies, and the chances of promotion for family members in officialdom became slim.

What is more serious is that with the rise of Gu Changqing, a grand tutor and national guardian who came from a humble family, the Ouyang family's voice in the court was further weakened.

In particular, unlike the three kings of different surnames, the Ouyang family did not own a territory of their own.

This made them more vulnerable when facing suppression from the imperial court.

Unlike the kings of other surnames who could rely on the resources of their territories to be self-sufficient, they relied more on the grace and rewards of the imperial court.

Today, these gifts and rewards are gradually decreasing, and the future of the Ouyang family is becoming increasingly bleak.

Therefore, faced with such a predicament, the Ouyang family had to begin to re-examine their situation and seek new ways out.

It was in this context that the Ouyang family began to have disloyalty.

They realized that it was no longer possible to maintain the family's honor and status by relying solely on the power of the court, and they had to find new allies and support.

Therefore, when Zhang Jue's Taiping Sect just started to show some signs, the Ouyang family had already noticed it, and began to secretly contact the Taiping Sect Yellow Turban Army and make arrangements within it.

The Yellow Turban Army of the Taiping Religion, a group of forces that united together to form a traitorous force at the time, was trying to overthrow the rule of the Daqian Dynasty.

The Ouyang family immediately saw the possibility of cooperating with them, hoping to restore and consolidate their influence in the court and the army by leveraging the power of the Taiping Sect and the Yellow Turban Army.

Not only did they provide a large amount of financial and material support, they also sent a group of elite members of the family to change their names and infiltrate the army to secretly control and guide the actions of the Yellow Turban Army.

These members of the Ouyang family held important positions in the Yellow Turban Army, gradually gained real power, and sought greater benefits for the family.

Apart from anything else, there are many members of the Ouyang family who have changed their appearance under Meng Zhang's command.

Although at present, because the Ouyang family cannot be too presumptuous, there are not many people in the high-ranking positions of the Yellow Turban Army.

However, there are many middle and high-level officers who hold actual military power.

It can be said that if Su Ye and Prince Yun’s Mansion had not accidentally inserted Meng Zhang into the Yellow Turban Army.

Moreover, Meng Zhang’s abilities were indeed not bad, and by chance, he encountered the Yellow Turban Army and was being beaten by the Daqian Dynasty.

While the masterminds behind the scenes had not yet had time to launch a full-scale attack, they turned the tide against the Yellow Turban Army.

After several battles in a row, he saved the Yellow Turban Army from danger and defeated Qiu Longteng and others from Daqian on the opposite side.

He took the opportunity to seize most of the Yellow Turban Army's military power.

With the support of the general trend, he forced the masterminds behind the scenes to admit that Meng Zhang was the commander-in-chief of the Yellow Turbans.

But to be honest, the Yun Palace and even the three kings of different surnames actually made limited contributions to the formation of the Taiping Sect.

This also led to the fact that although Prince Yun’s Mansion had Meng Zhang, a high-ranking traitor in the Yellow Turban Army.

However, in terms of the degree of control over the Taiping Sect, it is definitely not as high as the masterminds who established the Taiping Sect from start to finish.

Otherwise, Meng Zhang wouldn't feel so aggrieved and have to seek cooperation from Su Ye to help him eliminate his competitors.

Although Meng Zhang had some ways to deal with the Taiping Sect's attempt to instigate people within the Yellow Turban Army.

But in terms of cunning, even if several Meng Zhangs were tied together, they would still be no match for those old coins who specialize in this.

Unless Meng Zhang announced now that he would leave the Taiping Sect and flee with his Yellow Turban Army.

But if that were the case, the people behind the scenes would probably laugh so hard that they would faint.

By then, it is not certain how many people will be willing to follow Meng Zhang.

Now these Yellow Turban Army are all poor people from the lower class, who come here for the teachings of the Taiping Sect.

No matter how good Meng Zhang is at fighting, he hasn't accumulated many loyal fans in such a short period of time.

The Taiping Sect has lost its golden signboard.

Those in the Yellow Turban Army who were willing to follow Meng Zhang, the "Longxiang Commander", had an uncertain future.

The number may be large, but it is not too much either.

In comparison, without Meng Zhang, the troublemaker, the Taiping Sect can mobilize another million-strong army at any time.

In this era of chaos and disorder in the Tianwu Continent, there is not much, but there are many people who cannot make it!

Their lives are worthless!
