The root of this problem lies with Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang.
"Tell me, I can agree to anything to revive my sister."
A glimmer of hope appeared on Zhang Bao's gloomy and dark face.
"You are prisoners now, and there is no way you can get out of prison. Even if you get out, no noble family in the Central Plains will accept you. You and your sister are already rats crossing the street in the Han Dynasty, the objects of hatred of all rulers. The fact that you were not directly executed is the result of Dong Zhuo and I bribing the eunuchs and saying good things. [Seven Rings Necromancer·Clone Technique] is a long and huge project that requires the cooperation of many Confucian scholars, even great Confucian scholars.
Given your current identities, no Confucian scholar would be willing to cooperate with you. After all, you two are planning to overturn the entire Confucian theory and replace it with Huangtian Taoism. "
Liu Zhuang laid the facts before the two women.
Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang looked at Liu Zhuang in confusion, not knowing what he wanted to say.
"So there is only one solution to this situation. I will take two of your concubines. As long as you are obedient when cooperating with the Confucian scholars, the Hedong Confucian scholars will surely be willing to help. After taking the concubines, I will immediately help you prepare the things you want. After you are sure that Zhang Jue can be resurrected, give me the method of making the Thunder Warrior."
"Fuck, you want me to be your concubine???"
Zhang Liang, who was the first to be persuaded, was the most unable to hold back at this moment, because his face was flushed with humiliation, and he squirmed his body bound by the tortoise shell in anger, making the iron chains around his ankles and neck rattle. The status of concubines in the Han Dynasty was extremely low. They were not the second wife after the wife. Gongsun Zan was born to a concubine and was treated as a slave by her own brothers and sisters. They did not regard her as an elder sister at all.
To make an inappropriate analogy, a concubine is a high-level sex slave who is protected by her master and is quite favored; her status is only higher than that of a singing girl who can be taken out at will to sleep with the master or given away. If she falls out of favor, she may even be worse than a singing girl.
"I promise you."
Zhang Bao, who was finally forced to surrender, was surprisingly quiet at this moment. Although his face was flushed with shame, he gritted his teeth and agreed to be Liu Zhuang's concubine.
"As long as I can revive my sister, I'm willing to do anything."
"Sister, you?"
Looking at Zhang Bao's determined face, Zhang Liang was helpless. As a prisoner, what other options did he have?
Liu Zhuang nodded in satisfaction. When the news of him taking the two as concubines spread, regardless of other people, the Yellow Turban Army would definitely be the first to be unable to hold back. As long as this could be accomplished, their awe of General Ren Gong and General Di Gong would gradually shift to himself.

Chapter 118: Chaos in the World
December of the seventh year of photosynthesis
In order to express the demise of the Yellow Turbans and the peace of the world, Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty changed his reign title for the second time. He changed the seventh year of Guanghe to the first year of Zhongping, and prayed for peace in the world. Now it is no longer December of the seventh year of Guanghe, but December of the first year of Zhongping.
After changing the reign title, Liu Hong immediately issued a general amnesty to demonstrate his benevolence. Lu Zhi was also released and allowed to return to his hometown in Zhuo County to retire.
Theoretically, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao were also within the scope of this amnesty, and he could finally take the two women as concubines with a legitimate reason. However, the emperor had the final right of interpretation, and his previous warning still remained: if these two prisoners cause even the slightest trouble, I will chop off Liu Zhuang's head first. It was you who asked me not to kill him, and you were also responsible for detaining him.
The court officials in Luoyang couldn't help sighing. Zhongping, this was already the emperor's fourth reign title.
When Your Majesty's reign was named Jianning, earthquakes occurred everywhere, plagues raged, and the world was in turmoil.
When your Majesty's reign was named Xiping, unprecedented drought and locust plagues swept across the Central Plains, and the world was in turmoil.
When your Majesty's reign title was Guanghe, the Yellow Turban Rebellion rose and fell quickly, the prairie fire burned all over the nine provinces, and the world was in disunity.
And now, Your Majesty's reign title is Zhongping. Will the world really be peaceful?
Obviously, no.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion was only the first domino in the collapse of the Han Empire. Although the uprising failed, the people who were forced to live without a way out by the imperial court, the Hu people who were eyeing the border covetously, and the aristocratic families who were competing with the emperor for power all saw the weakness of the imperial court.
The food and grass in Luoyang couldn't even allow the five battalions of the Northern Army to march to Youzhou? They could only wander around the banks of the Yellow River near Luoyang? How weak is the central government? !
Since the five battalions of the Northern Army can't go on an expedition, why should we be afraid of the emperor? What can he do to us? If he doesn't compromise with the noble families, the five battalions of the Northern Army can only be pushed to a distance of less than a thousand miles from Luoyang! The emperor and the noble families have a fundamental contradiction in the battle for power in the court, so there is nothing to be afraid of!
For a time, many people firmly believed in the weakness of the Han Dynasty. Liu Hong had just changed the reign title to Zhongping in December, hoping for peace in the world. However, in the same December, the empire fell into chaos again.
The Liangzhou Provincial Administration had ten counties under its jurisdiction. The Qiang people in five of them, namely Beidi, Anding, Jincheng, Longxi and Wudu, firmly believed in the weakness of Luoyang and thought that the Han Dynasty was just a crumbling empty house that would collapse with just a kick. Taking advantage of the best opportunity that the Han Dynasty had just defeated the Yellow Turbans and had not yet recovered, and the treasury was empty, they directly started a war in the winter of the first year of Zhongping!
It was not just the Qiang people in Liangzhou who were rebelling. A large number of Liangzhou rednecks who were at the bottom of the contempt chain were also increasingly dissatisfied with the contempt and suppression of the aristocratic families in Guandong and the Dragon Emperor of Luoyang. More and more warriors in Guanxi had their upward path blocked.
This time, they united with the Qiang people without hesitation, formed a joint army of Liangzhou people and Qiang people, and raised the banner of rebellion against the Han Empire - you look down on us rednecks? I won't play with you anymore!
Even if China is peaceful, the world will still be unfair.
What's even more terrible is that Liangzhou, which is now Gansu, is in the shape of a long strip. Once these five counties rebelled, the four counties on the northwest edge, namely Dunhuang, Jiuquan, Zhangye and Wuwei, were directly cut off from the Han Dynasty. No one knew what the four counties at the northwest end were doing now.
In Liangzhou today, only Hanyang County, which is closest to Guanzhong, has not yet gotten out of control.
What's even more terrifying is that the Liangzhou rebels in Anding County invaded Shang County, looted wantonly, and directly destroyed the entire ruling foundation of Shang County. After Shuofang, Wuyuan, Yunzhong and Dingxiang, Shang County became the fifth county in Bingzhou to fall and be destroyed.
When Liu Hong received the news that five counties in Liangzhou rebelled, four counties lost contact, and one county in Bingzhou was destroyed, he was completely paralyzed. He was like suppressing one problem but then another one arose. He had just defeated the Yellow Turban Army, but now Liangzhou was in chaos? ? ?
"Let Dong Zhuo and his Qiang people hold on to Guanzhong first! Even if the entire Liangzhou is abandoned, Guanzhong must not fall!"
Liu Hong covered his head in pain and thought about the battle plan.
"Oh, and Huangfu Song, remove her from her position as Jizhou Mu, promote her to General of Chariots and Cavalry, and transfer her to Guanzhong to quell the rebellion. Let the Qiang people fight the Qiang people, and let Liangzhou govern Liangzhou!
And there is the Hedong governor Liu Zhuang. Anding and Shangjun are gone. Now the land within the Yellow River is in chaos. The Qiang people are likely to come along the Yellow River. Hedong County is the gateway to Sili. He must stop them there and not let any Qiang people go along the Yellow River into Hedong! As for the memorial for Hedong County's two-year tax exemption, approve it!"
-------------------------------------
Looking at the memorial sent from Luoyang, Liu Zhuang immediately dispatched the clerks and minor officials from the aristocratic families under his command to spread the news of two years of tax exemption. Now, not only the 30,000 to 40,000 people who followed him cheered, but the more than 900,000 people in Hedong County were also grateful: They were lucky, the prefect who came this time was a good official!
Afterwards, Liu Zhuang immediately found an official and asked him to go to Zhuo County with a large amount of gifts to visit Lu Zhi who had been released from prison on his behalf. The disciple had just arrived in Hedong and had too many things to deal with, so after he finished his work, he immediately went to visit his teacher in person.
As for the defense mission assigned by the emperor...
Hedong is indeed on the front line now, but because of the obstruction of the Luliang Mountains and the Yellow River, it is not on the front line and is in a very delicate situation.
When Liu Zhuang first arrived, he was far from being able to control Hedong. At most, he relied on the soldiers under his command to control the ancient city of Anyi and the large tracts of fertile land around Laishui. He did not fully control the Laishui Basin, let alone the Fenshui Basin in the north.
Moreover, when successive Han emperors set up states and counties, they did not rely on traditional divisions of rivers and mountains. Instead, they allowed the territories of states and counties to be intertwined and check and balance each other, thus preventing any super-large county from becoming independent.
Take Hedong as an example. Hedong County is bordered by the Yellow River in the west, the Wangwu Mountain in the east, and all of them are natural dangers. The entire Hedong County is like a funnel, and the north is the thinnest tip of the funnel, leading to Taiyuan.
The throat connecting the Taiyuan Basin and the Fenshui Basin is Jiexiu City, which is under the jurisdiction of Taiyuan County - that is to say, the northern gate of Hedong County is not under their control, but in the hands of their neighbor Taiyuan Taishou. If the Taiyuan Taishou fails to defend Jiexiu, the entire Fenhe Basin and the northern half of Hedong County will be in an undefended state. The enemy will come down along the Fenshui River, and they can only rely on the Emei Terrace to block the southern half of Hedong County.
Liu Zhuang thought about it and decided that his fate could not be left in the hands of the people of Taiyuan. He really had to build a jade wall. In history, the governor of Taiyuan failed to defend the border and directly let the Hu people go south. Even in the worst case scenario, at least half of Hedong County would not become a battlefield, but would be his own rear base.
Liu Zhuang did what he said. After conveying the emperor's tax exemption order and sending someone to visit his teacher, he did three more things.
First, the county magistrates, aristocratic families, and those in Hedong counties who already have private soldiers should report immediately once they find any trace of the Qiang people. The prefects will immediately lead troops to wipe them out, especially the counties near the three ferry crossings of Longmen, Puban, and Fengling. You should keep your eyes open and don't let the Qiang people land here.
The second was to take advantage of the slack farming season in winter to recruit a wave of corvée labor nearby to go to the Emei Terrace to build Yubi City, and to move some of the stored grain in Anyi granary into Yubi City, and to order Zhang He to lead the Julu Camp to station in Yubi.
The third was to issue a general amnesty order from the Han Emperor, releasing all the prisoners held in Anyi, including the Thunder Warrior and the two sisters Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, and then announce that he would take the two daughters of Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang as concubines.
At this point, the 30,000 surrendered Yellow Turban troops could no longer hold back. Most of them had gradually surrendered because Liu Zhuang had distributed land to them. The last few diehards were unwilling to bow to Liu Zhuang because of their beliefs.
But now, the two sisters of the Great Sage Master have become concubines of Liu Zhuang! What's the point of me holding on? The faith of all the diehards is gradually disintegrating. The eyes looking at the two sisters Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang are no longer worshipful and pious, but weird and surprised.
As for the Han family, they felt nothing, and even gloated over it. General Digong? General Rengong? Wasn't he quite fierce in Jizhou before? He wanted to uproot our Confucian beliefs and the heavens, so how come he has become the concubine and sex slave of my governor now? It's really interesting.
As for taking concubines, they were just two high-level sex slaves, and there was no need for any of the rules and regulations of marriage and funerals. However, Liu Zhuang still held a simple and formal wedding, which also gave the two women a status.
After the simple wedding, the three were sent to the bridal chamber amidst laughter. Many of the onlookers, the Thunder Warriors, felt that their faith had collapsed. To Huang Tian, it seemed that that was the case. However, why did the two women keep their arms behind their backs throughout the entire wedding ceremony? They did not lift them up at all. Could it be that... their bodies were still tied up under their wedding dresses?
Chapter 119: The Six Arts of a Gentleman
After entering the bridal chamber, Liu Zhuang took off the exquisite phoenix crown, lifted the gorgeous veil, and took off the bright red wedding dress as if peeling an egg, revealing the two women's smooth skin as white as jade, allowing a large expanse of beautiful spring scenery to come into his sight.
Two almost identical faces, blushing in extreme shyness, two equally beautiful and graceful bodies, tightly bound by staggered red ropes, making the two women's soft figures look even more sexy.
Pieces of red rope were interwoven on their soft bellies and stomachs, forming tortoise shell patterns. The bases of their breasts, which could be held in one hand, were also tightened with red ropes, making those two white breasts look more upright and attractive.
Between the legs, a piece of red rope was tightly tied into the plump and beautiful pink lips, tightly wrapping them. With every step, the extremely delicate pink lips would be rubbed by the red rope, and at this moment they were already wet with sweet juice.
The fair bodies and the bright red ropes set off each other beautifully. No one would have thought that the flesh hidden under the wedding dresses was so wanton. The two women actually completed the entire wedding in this bound state.
"Just...can't you loosen this rope a little? We have been pardoned after all, right? I am your concubine now, what else do you want?"
Naked Zhang Bao squirmed restlessly. The rough red rope rubbed against her delicate skin, making her feel itchy all over.
Zhang Liang closed his eyes, made up his mind, and said nothing. Although his face turned as red as the sunset after being stripped naked, he did not move. The two beauties with exactly the same appearance showed completely different looks under the same circumstances.
"Be patient. This is an order from His Majesty himself. If you two show any behavior that makes him uneasy, we will all lose our heads. The doomsday I predicted to you is only five years away."
"Although, I've already agreed to marry you, and I want to do this on the wedding day? You want me to be tied up and attend the most important wedding of my life? I think you just like this!"
Zhang Bao's face flushed red. Because she was tied up with red ropes, her body looked extremely lustful. She squirmed restlessly, messing up the bed sheets.
Liu Zhuang thought about it. Although there were countless reasons not to let her go, what she said seemed to be right. He had almost finished playing with Fengxian and Tuoba Yun in the ordinary positions. Looking at the two beautiful bodies tightly tied with red ropes, his desire also came up.
The two girls received a very special transformation into the first generation of imperial guards, rather than being Thunder Warriors. They were just a little taller than ordinary people. Liu Zhuang picked up Zhang Liang, asked her to raise her hips, lie on the bed, lift up her long golden hair, exposing her beautiful jade back tied with a red rope.
Zhang Liang was tied up tightly with a magic tool specially used by the Han army to capture prisoners. Even if he had infinite strength, he could not use it. He could only let Liu Zhuang manipulate him on the bed. With a blushing face, he raised his buttocks high, and a red rope was tied between his thighs, covering his two snow-white buttocks.
Then, Liu Zhuang hugged Zhang Bao again and placed her on his sister's body with her buttocks raised high, so that their snow-white buttocks were overlapped together, forming a very erotic and obscene scene. Then, he used the stolen pink magic of lust to quietly tamper with the sensitivity of the two women's bodies. He gently patted the two women's snow-white buttocks with his right hand, and pulled the iron chain tied to the collars of the two women's necks with his left hand, and launched the first round of attack from behind.
"Woo——"
Although Zhang Bao was prepared when she felt the huge and hot spear invading her body, she still let out a cute moan. The pain of her flesh membrane being torn made her grit her teeth and prepare to endure the pain that was to come.
However, what she didn't expect was that after the initial pain, what surged into her brain was endless joy, this joy was like a rising tide, one wave faster than the next, one wave higher than the next! It constantly eroded her sanity and thoughts, making her limbs soft, her whole body numb, and she gasped. The Slaanesh magic intensified the process, making her entire sanity burn.
She wanted to escape from this pleasure that burned her brain, but she found that her body was as limp as water, and she was almost completely out of control! The satisfaction and happiness from her lower body instantly burned through her body, and each time it became more intense! She wanted to break free madly, but her whole body was tied up with red ropes. All her struggles only made the place where the two of them were connected produce more intense and irregular collisions, making Liu Zhuang more excited and the pleasure in her lower body more turbulent!
Zhang Liang was lying on the bed at the moment, not knowing what was happening. She only felt that Liu Zhuang and her sister, who were riding on her, were trembling violently. She twisted her body restlessly, making Zhang Bao suffer the triple action of her sister shaking, her body struggling, and Liu Zhuang's fierce attack. The collar on her neck strangled her slender neck from time to time, making her brain more and more confused due to lack of oxygen. Finally, she was completely overwhelmed by the endless joy and couldn't help but let out bursts of pleasant moans.
The passionate lovemaking was like a raging fire that made her lose the ability to think. In the end, she cooperated with Liu Zhuang's actions like a wild beast in heat, just wanting more pleasure, more happiness. Finally, with a tingling moan, she ascended to the sky of bliss.
After taking care of Zhang Bao, Liu Zhuang put the sweaty Zhang Liang on the bed and let her lie in her sister's arms. Then he started to penetrate her from behind for the second time. At this moment, she understood why her sister's body was shaking so violently. Under Liu Zhuang's fierce attack, she performed even worse than her sister. The swelling pain and pleasure from her lower body, the suffocation and hallucination caused by the collar tightening around her neck, soon her breathing became disordered and her face flushed, and then she ejaculated, and the white turbid liquid covered the delicate bodies of the two women.
"Why...why did you stop?"
After another round of attack, Liu Zhuang suddenly pulled out his long spear. The huge feeling of emptiness and the itching in her lower body almost made Zhang Bao collapse. Her body was tightly bound, and she could only twist her hips covered with palm prints frantically, begging for love.
"Call me husband and let me hear it."
Liu Zhuang inserted his spear into her, relieving the itchiness in her lower body for a moment, and then pulled it out again. The feeling of losing but not getting made Zhang Bao almost crazy. She tried her best to move her hips closer to Liu Zhuang's spear, her face flushed red, as if these two words were more shameful than the current words.
"Please, please husband... continue."
Seeing that Zhang Bao actually said that, Liu Zhuang was quite satisfied. He entered her body again, making her sigh with satisfaction. She emptied her mind and became immersed in a sea of desire and pleasure, even giving up thinking.
The next day, when Liu Zhuang continued his work, he found that the Yellow Turban Army's attitude towards him had obviously changed. They were grateful to him for giving them the land, and because he took Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang as concubines, they transferred all their fear of the generals Ren Gong and Di Gong to Liu Zhuang.
I thought General Di Gong was invincible, but I didn't expect that she was taken as a concubine. Then, isn't her husband, Hedong Prefect Liu Zhuang, even more terrifying?
Not only did the ordinary Yellow Turban surrendered soldiers think so, the fifty Thunder Warriors also had the same idea at this moment. Damn it, my fellow villagers have all been allocated land, and my leader has become his concubine, so why should I hold on? At this moment, they finally gave in and were willing to surrender. They were incorporated into a special team of fifty people by Liu Zhuang, and were personally commanded by him.
After taking in a concubine and a Thunder Warrior, Liu Zhuang once again went to the noble families to inquire about the knowledge of the [Seven-Ring Necromancer·Cloning Technique], hoping to see if the great scholars from the noble families knew anything about this aspect. However, everyone shook their heads, saying that they had never heard of this Confucian technique.
A magic method to bring the dead back to life? Lord, have you been deceived? If this thing really exists, why did the emperor die?
After some inquiries, Liu Zhuang was surprised to find that the Confucianism of the Han Dynasty was, well, a bit biased.
Magic can be divided into eight major branches, but the Great Sage and Teacher is probably a melee wizard who specializes in transformations. He only respects the six arts of a gentleman, namely rites, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics.
A system of imitating, acting, and worshipping ghosts and gods.
A protective system that establishes a hierarchical order using ever-changing music.
Bombard the enemy's Transfiguration system with ultra-long-range attacks.
Use the power of enchantment to control the warhorse, the enchantment of the chariot.
A system of spells that pass on knowledge through text.
Use computational science to infer ancient and modern prophecy systems.
That is to say, the Confucian scholars of later generations, like the Great Sage, only studied six of the eight types of magic: illusion, and the necromancy type that controlled corpses, played with souls, and prolonged life... They were not very good at it, at least all the Confucian scholars of ancient literature who could perceive the magic of the sages were not good at it.
Liu Zhuang was also scratching his head at this moment, and sent a second messenger to ask Teacher Lu Zhi if he knew that the teacher was a modern Confucian scholar who was researching the mysteries of knowledge, to see if there would be any gains there.
After a while, Lu Zhi's reply arrived. He was very pleased to hear that Liu Zhuang and Dong Zhuo had worked together to protect the people of Xia Quyang and let them live and work in peace in Hedong. He also attached the method of making the culture dish, saying that this was his latest research achievement. Because no great scholar had ever studied this in the past, he could only figure out a rough idea.
However, the Hu priests who believe in the divine crows on the grassland are quite knowledgeable about the undead. Hedong County is relatively close to the grassland. If you have the chance, you can find one to ask.
It's an approximation, but it's enough.
Liu Zhuang created a culture dish according to the teacher's method. Zhang Bao carefully placed the severed hand in it and cultivated his sister's severed hand according to Huang Tian's instructions. Two days later, the severed hand actually sprouted branches and the white bones seemed like branches breaking through the ground, and the blood vessels and nerves were like vines clinging to them, gradually restoring the severed hand to the appearance of an arm.
Seeing that there was hope, Zhang Bao did not hesitate to give Liu Zhuang the method of making Thunder Warriors. He told him the secrets of the nineteen talisman waters one by one and taught him how to cut out the gene seeds from both sides of the Thunder Warrior's neck and implant them into boys of twelve or thirteen years old, using them as carriers of the Thunder Warriors.
After a busy period, Liu Zhuang obtained seventy gene seeds. After all, some of the captives' seeds had been used up, so he found seventy healthy children aged twelve or thirteen from the people who followed him, recruited them into the army, taught them military knowledge, and trained these seventy children into the best soldiers from an early age.
In just five years, he would have seventy knowledgeable and powerful Thunder Warriors. Adding these fifty people who surrendered, the number of his Thunder Warriors would reach one hundred and twenty. These people would be his sharpest spears.
