That night, Lin Han got the list of thirty-six disciples.
For the first time, Lin Han intuitively felt the enormity of the Yellow Turban Army. There were thirty-six generals and 800,000 Yellow Turban soldiers, not counting their families. It was so terrifying.
If these Yellow Turban soldiers can be used well, history will change in his hands.
Unfortunately, there was no other counselor to advise him, so he had to do it himself.
Lin Han was searching for his target among the thirty-six generals. The strength of these people was unknown, but since they were favored by Zhang Jiao and accepted as disciples, their strength was definitely above third-rate generals.
Zhang Baiqi was under his command and was one of the original leaders of the Black Mountain Army. Now he led the Black Mountain Army under his command to form the Blood-Drinking White Cavalry and stationed them in Lin Han's Xia Kingdom.
Lin Han saw many familiar names on the list.
Ma Yuanyi, Zhang Niujiao, Chu Feiyan (Zhang Yan), Li Damu, Yu Digen, Zhang Mancheng, Bo Cai, He Man, Yu Du, Yang Feng, Guan Hai, Zhang Rao, Huang Shao, Cheng Yuanzhi, Bian Xi, Guo Da...
These are all relatively famous figures in the Yellow Turban camp.
In Lin Han's eyes, these are all military generals and talents.
But these people are too complicated after all.
The Yellow Turban Army was not united in purpose.
They were all famous mountain kings who were found by Zhang Jiao and accepted as his disciples, just like Lin Han, who was found by Zhang Jiao and accepted as his disciple after defeating Lu Kang.
These people all have their own little calculations, and this is the most troublesome part.
One of the reasons for the failure of the Yellow Turban Rebellion was that the incident was exposed and the court knew about it, so they launched the rebellion in a hurry. Another reason was that these leaders fought on their own and did not know how to unite. If they had united and supported each other in the early stages, the Yellow Turban Rebellion would not have failed so quickly.
This is the bitter fruit of lacking advisors and fighting on their own.
Historically, peasant uprisings failed without scholars. It takes courageous peasants, coupled with strategic scholars, to achieve success.
Three days later, all the thirty-six disciples summoned by Zhang Jue gathered in the inner meditation of the Taiping Taoist Temple.
The area around the Taoist temple is closed and no outsiders are allowed to approach.
Looking inside the Taiping Taoist Temple, there were thirty-six people sitting there, each with a different expression, and there was complete silence inside.
Soon, Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang, along with Lin Han, entered the inner chamber. The three Zhang Jiao brothers sat on the three main seats, while Lin Han sat to their lower left.
"Greetings to Master, Second Uncle-Master, and Third Uncle-Master." Everyone bowed.
"No need to be polite."
Zhang Jue raised his hand, signaling everyone not to be polite.
"Master, why did you call your disciples here?" Ma Yuanyi, the head monk, asked first.
"We have gathered you here today to discuss something important."
Zhang Jue spoke majestically.
"In today's world, the emperor is incompetent, treacherous ministers are in power, and officials are brutal and reckless. Furthermore, disasters have plagued us year after year, and the court has ignored them, imposing heavy taxes. The people are suffering unspeakably, and their resentment is overwhelming.
The master calculated the secrets of the heavens and obtained the sixteen-character mantra: "The blue sky has died, the yellow sky shall rise; in the year of Jiazi, the world will be blessed with good fortune." The immortals bestowed upon the master the name "General Tiangong," and he came to the world to save the people from suffering.
"The secret of heaven has been grasped. Next year, on the Jiazi day, will be the time of the decline and fall of the Eastern Han Dynasty. I hereby order you and your companions to join forces on the fifth day of the third month of next year to overthrow the Eastern Han Dynasty and restore peace and prosperity to the people of the world."
"Yes, Master."
All thirty-six disciples agreed in unison. Many of them had fanatical eyes, while quite a few had flickering eyes, and it was unclear what they were thinking.
"I have discussed with your two uncles that the matter of raising an army will be planned and coordinated by the Divine Envoy Lin Han. You must obey the Divine Envoy's orders and form alliances." Zhang Jue said.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Lin Han who was sitting below.
"Master, Junior Brother Lin Han is only a young man. It's not appropriate to let him lead the three armies." A big man with a yellow scarf on his head stood up. It was Zhang Mancheng.
Seeing that the person who stood up was Zhang Mancheng, Lin Han couldn't help but suspect that he had snatched the title of "God's Messenger" from Zhang Mancheng, making Zhang Mancheng unhappy with him.
However, Lin Han remained calm and let Zhang Jiao handle it.
"Though your junior brother Lin Han is young, he led 10,000 men to destroy the Wuhuan. He is adept at commanding troops and employing strategic tactics. He is the perfect choice." Zhang Jue said without hesitation, "Who among you can lead 10,000 men to destroy the Wuhuan?"
There was complete silence within.
The achievement of just one battle is enough to leave everyone speechless.
Zhang Jiao has not yet revealed that Lin Han is 'Xiao Hange', nor the battle against Lu Kang, but Xiao Hange's identity is a general of the court and cannot be disclosed to the outside world at will.
Although everyone was dissatisfied, they no longer expressed it openly.
Asking them, a group of rough men who were used to being mountain kings, to obey the orders of a handsome young man was a bit of a challenge for them. They felt dissatisfied but could not say it out loud.
"Now, the divine messenger will make arrangements for you."
Zhang Jiao gave the right to speak to Lin Han.
Lin Han, who had been silent all this time, cleared his throat and spoke.
"This uprising is of grave importance. By overthrowing the tyranny, we will be the heroes who usher in a peaceful and prosperous era. Master, in response to Heaven's will, will save the people from suffering on the fifth day of the third lunar month of next year. You must not let your opinions cause you to miss this important event, or you will become the sinners of this peaceful and prosperous era.
Starting today, I follow my master's orders to command the Yellow Turban Army to start an uprising on the fifth day of March. I am now making arrangements for what will happen after the uprising.
Zhang Niujiao was the general of Heishan, and Chu Feiyan and Zhang Sheng were his deputy generals. After the uprising, Heishan leaders Yu Du, Du Chang, Bai Rao, Sui Gu, Tao Sheng, and you joined forces with Zhang Niujiao, and occupied the six areas of Changshan, Zhaojun, Shangdang, Zhongshan, and Henei in Jizhou to support Julu.
Zhang Rao is the general in the Qingzhou and Jizhou areas. Take Qingzhou as the general, Guan Hai as the deputy general, and Qingzhou leaders Xu He, Guan Cheng, and Sima Ju. After you start the rebellion, quickly join forces with Zhang Rao, and then communicate with Zhang Niu Jiao to support each other.
Guo Da served as the General of Baibo, leading the troops in Bingzhou, with Yang Feng and Han Xian as deputy generals. After the uprising, they took Taiyuan, Hanoi and other places, and were ready to provide support at any time if there was a war in other places.
