Orders from All Heavens: Earn rewards by playing a guest role

Chapter 262 Heaven is dead, Huang Tian is here to stand

"Zhang Jiao, how dare you arrest an official appointed by the imperial court!"

"Do you want to rebel?"

A fat, big-eared official roared angrily.

He was the governor of Julu Commandery.

Zhang Jiao checked the memories, as well as those of other officials, and found that they were all people who oppressed the people, ravaged the villages, and committed countless evil deeds.

Zhang Jiao has just checked their memories.

"Bring it up!"

With a wave of his hand, a group of Yellow Turban soldiers immediately brought the corrupt officials forward.

Zhang Jiao stood on the high platform, looking at the tens of thousands of people gathered there. They were all strong and capable, representing the most elite part of the Way of Peace.

After all, as his stronghold, Zhang Jiao would definitely gather his most elite troops here.

"The world is in a state of depravity. The court is corrupt, officials are decadent, and nobles and powerful families oppress the people, causing widespread suffering."

Zhang Jiao shouted angrily.

Clang~!

He drew a precious sword from his waist, one side of which was engraved with the sun, moon, and stars, and the other side with mountains, rivers, grass, and trees.

It was the Xuanyuan Sword obtained from the world of Fengyun.

Zhang Jiao pointed his sword at the sky and loudly swore: "Heaven above, earth below, I, Zhang Jiao, hereby declare myself as 'General of Heaven'."

"I am willing to seek a glimmer of hope for the millions of ordinary people in the world."

"Dedicated to the public good and the people, I would not hesitate to sacrifice myself!"

"I, Zhang Bao, am the Earthly General. I am willing to follow the Heavenly General, dedicating myself to the public good and the people. If I break this oath, may I be struck down by Heaven and Earth!"

Zhang Bao knelt down on one knee to take the oath.

"I am Zhang Liang, a general of the public good. I am willing to follow General Tiangong and dedicate myself to the public good and the people. If I break this oath, may I be punished by heaven and earth."

Zhang Liang also knelt down and took the oath.

"We are willing to follow General Tiangong, and dedicate ourselves to the public good and the people!"

In an instant, tens of thousands of Taiping Dao believers present knelt down and solemnly swore an oath.

Zhang Jiao's lips curled slightly as he raised the Xuanyuan Sword high.

"The auspicious time has arrived! Execute the corrupt officials and offer sacrifices to Heaven!"

At a command, dozens of axemen raised their swords and brought their blades down.

Pfft!

Dozens of heads rolled down, each one dying with their eyes wide open.

"The sky is dead, Huang Tian must stand!"

"If you are at the age of sixty, the world will be blessed!"

"May the Thunder God help me!!"

With a loud shout, Zhang Jiao's Taoist robe fluttered wildly.

The sky was filled with ever-changing clouds, dark clouds rolled in, and then a thunderclap boomed.

Boom~!

Thunder rumbled, and bolts of lightning struck down from the sky.

It struck Zhang Jiao's Xuanyuan Sword perfectly, as if heaven itself was cheering him on.

Boom, boom, boom—

A dense barrage of lightning struck down, illuminating Zhang Jiao's entire body.

He was surrounded by a dense swirling of lightning, his body slowly floating in the air, bathed in countless bolts of lightning, as if a god had descended to earth.

"The sky is dead, Huang Tian must stand!"

"If you are at the age of sixty, the world will be blessed!"

The countless believers below stared with fanaticism at Zhang Jiao, who was bathed in lightning in the sky, and were in a state of extreme excitement.

"With my talisman, I command the thirty-six Liang generals to gather all their elite troops and march on Luoyang to join me in overthrowing the corrupt Han Dynasty."

After Zhang Jiao finished speaking, he scattered a large amount of talisman paper, which quickly transformed into paper cranes carrying his command and soared into the sky.

"All members of the Way of Peace must abide by the new doctrines; those who disobey will be punished by both Heaven and Man!"

"Gentlemen, let's fight for a bright and just world for the people!"

Zhang Jiao raised the Xuanyuan Sword high, his voice echoing throughout the entire arena.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Tens of thousands of believers at the scene shouted enthusiastically.

"Spreading beans makes an army!"

With a wave of his hand, Zhang Jiao sent soybeans raining down from the sky.

In the eyes of countless people, soybeans transform into burly Yellow Turban warriors.

A full 100,000 Yellow Turban warriors appeared before everyone.

This scene deeply moved everyone present.

"mighty!"

"General Tiangong is mighty!"

With shouts and cheers, the believers became increasingly fervent.

This is what gods are like—they can summon wind and rain, and turn beans into soldiers!

They all pulled out yellow cloths, wrapped them around their heads, and joined the Yellow Turban Warriors to become part of the Yellow Turban Army.

This was the most elite part of the Yellow Turban Army.

"Let's set off, heading straight for Luoyang!"

At Zhang Jiao's command, hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers marched towards Luoyang.

They didn't occupy Ji Province at all; instead, they headed straight for Luoyang.

Because of time constraints, they had no choice but to take a risky gamble and storm Luoyang.

This is the only chance. Only by taking Luoyang and seizing control of the Han dynasty can we have a chance to seize power over the entire country.

Moreover, he has already notified believers in various places through talismans that the Liang generals of the thirty-six directions will surely lead their people in rebellion after receiving the news.

Boom~!

A thunderclap plunged the entire Han Dynasty into chaos.

The massive Yellow Turban Rebellion began.

Starting from Julu County in Ji Province, it spread like wildfire across more than a dozen provinces in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

"The Heavenly General has given an order."

"Commander Liang of each unit, immediately lead your respective units straight to Luoyang to rendezvous without fail."

"All personnel must uphold the doctrines of the Taiping New Religion. Anyone who violates these doctrines will be punished by both Heaven and man!"

One by one, paper cranes formed from talismans fell into the hands of Commander Liang of the Thirty-Six Divisions, conveying Zhang Jiao's orders.

"uprising!"

"Kill corrupt officials, for the sake of the public good!"

"For the sake of all the people!"

"Inverted!"

The uprising gained momentum in a short time.

Large numbers of people joined in upon hearing the news, and even those who couldn't survive joined in.

"The sky is dead, Huang Tian must stand!"

"If you are at the age of sixty, the world will be blessed!"

The various rebel armies were fierce and powerful, shouting slogans as they killed corrupt officials and powerful figures, amassing large amounts of gold, silver, and grain.

One by one, they consciously headed towards Luoyang.

In the process, there will certainly be some who do not follow the new doctrines, indiscriminately kill innocent people, or even become bloodthirsty.

But this is unavoidable.

Zhang Jiao knew that his only task now was to take Luoyang.

Then, we must clean up this chaos and cut off everything that violates the new doctrine in order to develop better.

Otherwise, there is only one outcome: failure.

"Kill them!"

Inside Jizhou City, the sounds of battle shook the heavens.

The official resistance was quickly broken by the Yellow Turban Army.

Zhang Jiao smashed the city gate with a single bolt of lightning, and once his army stormed in, they were no longer able to resist.

After executing the corrupt officials who had been terrorizing the village, Zhang Jiao ordered the granaries to be opened and distributed all the grain except for what was necessary to take to the people.

They even distributed all the land of powerful nobles and wealthy families to the common people.

Anyway, I'm only responsible for distributing the loot; whether you can hold onto it is up to you.

If you want to hold on, then join us.

Let us work together for the sake of the world and for the people to find a glimmer of hope.

Zhang Jiao adhered to one principle: in every county he conquered, he purged the corrupt officials and powerful clans within.

He divided the land and distributed the grain, which immediately won the support of countless people.

When everyone saw that there was land, grain, and money to share, what were they waiting for? They joined in and overthrew this corrupt dynasty.

The people have been oppressed long enough, and now that someone is taking the lead, everyone naturally follows suit.

The Yellow Turban Army rapidly expanded, becoming a formidable force, and its ranks rolled like a snowball towards Luoyang.

Although Zhang Jiao had already selected the strong and healthy, the rest of the old and weak were eliminated.

But the sheer number of people was overwhelming; the army grew rapidly from a few hundred thousand to over three hundred thousand in the blink of an eye.

Although they look numerous, they actually have no combat power whatsoever.

Due to a lack of training, they are unable to develop true combat effectiveness.

What can a bunch of serfs do? It's quite a sight to see them all rushing up together.

Fortunately, he brought various cold weapons and distributed them in large quantities.

Moreover, it also possesses 100,000 Yellow Turban warriors summoned by scattering beans.

They conquered cities and seized territory, achieving victory after victory.

Zhang Jiao personally led over 200,000 able-bodied men, along with his 100,000 Yellow Turban warriors, in a grand and imposing advance towards Luoyang.

This move caused panic throughout the court, and Emperor Ling of Han repeatedly ordered Huangfu Song to immediately lead troops to suppress these rebels.

Huangfu Song was surprised that Zhang Jiao actually headed straight for Luoyang.

Isn't this courting death?

Soon, various Yellow Turban armies marched towards Luoyang.

They didn't occupy the area at all; instead, they selected able-bodied men to join them and fought their way through.

They seemed poised to annihilate Luoyang.

This caused great panic.

Why don't you go and occupy the area so we can prepare our troops to kill you?

In just ten days, Zhang Jiao used his magic to accelerate his progress and led his large army to the outside of Hulao Pass in Luoyang.

At this time, Huangfu Song and others also arrived at Hulao Pass with the imperial army.

The two sides are locked in a standoff at Hulao Pass.
