The video takes us to ancient times; Li Er transforms into the Tongtian Emperor of Shu Han.

Chapter 67 The world is sick, and I wish to use my own body as medicine to cure this disease!

"Chonghuan, you should go, take Zishun with you."

Upon returning to the Taoist temple, Zhang Jiao packed up all the valuables in the temple.

"Brother, what exactly are you trying to do!"

Seeing that Zhang Jiao had stuffed all the remaining small amount of valuables into the hands of the two men, Zhang Bao panicked.

He had never seen his brother with such a solemn expression!

Seeing the bewildered expressions on the two people in front of him, Zhang Jiao suddenly smiled.

"Chonghuan, do you still remember why I came down the mountain in the first place?"

Zhang Bao nodded quickly.

"I am determined to cure diseases and save lives, and I hope that people in the world will no longer be troubled by illness."

Zhang Jiao's expression turned to one of reminiscence.

Yes, to heal the sick and save lives.

A person may fall ill, but medicine can cure him. What if the court falls ill?

After a long while, he patted Zhang Bao on the shoulder.

"You know me best. I've always valued my life the most, whether it's my own or someone else's."

"Whether I was practicing asceticism on the mountain or have been down here for so many years, all I want to do is heal the sick and save lives."

"But I've realized that there are no people who can be saved."

"It's not the common people who are sick, it's the world that's sick!"

"I fear death, but at this moment, what does it matter if I give up these decades of true cultivation!"

"I wish to use my own body as medicine to cure the diseases of the world!"

After hearing these words, how could Zhang Bao not know what his elder brother was up to!

Not only Zhang Bao knew about it, but even those outside the sky who were unaware of this history could see it.

When officials force the people to rebel, the people have no choice but to rebel if they want to live!

Even knowing that Zhang Jiao was a traitor, Old Zhu still clapped his hands and cheered!

"We should rebel against them! That damned Han Dynasty is a complete scoundrel!"

"The people can't even survive, and Liu Hong is still building his damn palace!"

"If such a mighty man didn't perish, that would truly be an injustice!"

This guy has been cursing from the very beginning until now.

Liu Bang simply chose to ignore the comments he sent.

As long as I don't see it, then the one cursing isn't my great man!

"But it must be admitted that Zhang Jiao's methods were extraordinary, and it is no exaggeration to say that the Eastern Han Dynasty perished because of him."

Li Er's eyes were full of admiration.

He likes talented people.

Even if this talented person is a traitor.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion exposed the last veil of shame of the Han Dynasty, letting the world know that the once mighty Han Dynasty was already utterly corrupt!

"It's a pity he rebelled too early. If it had been a few years later, after Emperor Ling died, when rebellions broke out everywhere, he might have really had a chance!"

Old Zhu felt a little regretful.

But Boss Cao dismissed his words with disdain.

You, Old Zhu, are indeed capable, but your understanding of the late Han Dynasty is far too poor!

"Old Zhu, you're wrong. It's not that Zhang Jiao rebelled too early, but that if he hadn't rebelled, even if Emperor Ling was incompetent, the Han Dynasty could have lasted for several more decades!"

"It was precisely in order to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion that Emperor Ling abolished the position of Shi and established the position of Mu, which led to the situation of various provinces being divided into their own."

"Li Shimin was right. It was Zhang Jiao who, single-handedly, shattered the last vestige of the Han Dynasty's destiny!"

"To my shame, most of the warlords who later established their own independent regimes rose to power because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion."

Even Cao Cao himself only came into everyone's view after he incorporated the Yellow Turban Army of Qingzhou!

"Could Zhang Jiao have forced Liu Hong to depose Shi Limu? Just how capable is he? Isn't he just a Taoist priest? How could he have driven the court to such a point?"

Upon seeing Cao Cao's comment, Liu Bang looked completely puzzled.

He's just a Taoist priest, after all. Even if he's a little kinder to the common people, what does he actually have?

They had no military power, no weapons, no armor, and not even a stable granary!

Even if such a person rebelled, could he really force the imperial court to such a point?

"Do you really think Zhang Jiao is a poor Taoist priest?"

"If he hadn't consistently dedicated himself to disaster relief and aiding victims, he could have had as much wealth and honor as he wanted!"

"The Great Han Dynasty comprises thirteen provinces, and its followers have spread across eight of them!"

"It can be said that as soon as the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, the Han Dynasty lost most of its territory, and the local governors were unable to contact the imperial court at all!"

"In this situation, if you were in Liu Hong's position, would you panic?"

Eight states!

Liu Bang was stunned.

He never imagined that a Taoist priest could have such a large number of followers!

In the blink of an eye, he lost contact with the eight provinces. Liu Bang thought to himself that if he were in Liu Hong's position, he would probably be very panicked as well.

"According to you, the Yellow Turban Army is so powerful, and Zhang Jiao is so popular with the people, how could he possibly be defeated?"

Liu Bang was even more puzzled.

With both popular support and strength, such an army should not be called a rebel army, but a royal army in Liu Bang's mind!

When he joined forces with Xiang Yu to attack Qin, that's how the people called him when he entered Guanzhong.

Looking at the present, Zhang Jiao's power and popularity are no less than they were back then.

Why did he lose?

"Because he's dead."

After a moment of silence, Boss Cao sighed.

Dead, dead?

Liu Bang was puzzled.

He wanted to press further, but Cao Cao refused to say anything more.

Just keep watching quietly.

Zhang Jiao's first battle after raising the banner of rebellion was against the county magistrate in the city.

When he led the people through the city gates and stormed the county government office, the county magistrate initially wore a disdainful expression.

They still thought Zhang Jiao had brought disaster victims to ask for food.

But after a commoner slashed down the first constable with a kitchen knife, he panicked completely.

"Great Teacher, what are you trying to do? If it's to ask for grain, just name your amount, and I will certainly satisfy you!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jiao smiled.

As she laughed, two tears streamed down her face.

Just tell me how much grain you need.

"It's too late, it's too late for you to say it. If you had been willing to open the granary and distribute grain when I came earlier, I wouldn't be in this situation now. It's too late for anything you say now."

"I have already taken this step, and there is no turning back!"

"Your Excellency, please accept your death."

Zhang Jiao pointed, and the people immediately pinned him to the ground.

The magistrate struggled to say something more, but the lowly people he once looked down upon cut off his head.

The moment the city's granaries were opened, the people, who should have been excited, remained silent.

There wasn't a single grain of millet in the granary!

Following that, a large amount of gold and silver jewelry was found in the magistrate's home, along with a large quantity of rice and flour.

It wasn't that the magistrate was unwilling to open the granaries and release grain; rather, the grain in the granaries had long been exchanged for his own gold and silver jewels!

The lives of countless ordinary people were less important to this county magistrate than even his jewels!

"This is the county magistrate! This is an official of the imperial court!"

Zhang Jiao turned around.

Zhang Bao quickly gave the orders.

They traded jewels for grain, ensuring everyone was well-fed and watered before discussing anything else.

Even if I'm to be beheaded tomorrow, I'd rather starve to death!

At Zhang Jiao's request, the rebel army did not harm the people in the city, but many landlords and gentry suffered misfortune.

The news did not spread until three days later.

This marked the beginning of a full-blown upheaval!
