Bao Xin listened to the head of the local noble family in Hanoi who was so unpolite, and his brows were about to be angry, but the potter on the side gently patted his leg under the table, signaling Bao Xin to be restless.

But seeing that the Tao merchant smiled and smiled at the heads of several families in a friendly smile, he said: "I have long admired the names of the Ping clan in Pingyi and the Li clan in Yewang County, and I am very honored to see the two elders Tao today, but I don't understand that although I came to suppress the thieves this time, I didn't know about it in a hurry, and I didn't know about it in Hanoi, but if I can succeed, it will also be for the sake of Si Li and the side of Bingzhou to eliminate the misfortune...... But Tao Mouguan's attitude towards the two elders seems to be more resistant, I wonder if there is any misunderstanding in the middle? ”

Pingzheng and Li Shao glanced at each other, each holding their beards, and neither of them spoke.

Over there, there is Sima Lang of Wen County, nineteen years old, not a few years older than the pottery merchant, but he is quite kind.

I saw Sima Lang smiling at the pottery merchant, and said kindly: "Tao Gongzi, you and General Bao are here to suppress thieves for the place, whether it is successful or not...... The heart is good. ”

The potter raised his eyebrows, and said secretly in his heart, they are also from the wang family, see if Sima Lang can speak, and then look at those few!

However, there is obviously more to his words.

Sima Lang continued: "But the Baibo army has been entrenched in the land of Sanhe for several years, and there are many people, and when the thieves went south to fight Niufu last year, they also plundered the land of Hanoi, slaughtered the people, and the troublesome side was not at peace. ”

Huangfu Song said beside him: "In that case, shouldn't it be more important to kill?" ”

Sima Lang shook his head and said, "How easy is it?" Not to mention whether the more than 100,000 people of the Baibo Army can be wiped out, the city defense of the Baibo Valley from the Bo City alone has been repaired by Guo Da like an iron wall, and the local officials and troops cannot attack it, and they can't move! If you are defeated, you can lead the troops or return to Yanzhou or Xuzhou, but if the White Polish army comes to Hanoi to seek revenge and revenge in the future, but teach us how to do it for the people of Hanoi? ”

The head of the Ping family on the side said lightly: "It's not enough to win the fight, if you want to fight, you must completely wipe out the Baibo army, and no one will be left!" Otherwise, if you turn back, Hanoi will be retaliated against by the White Polish army! ”

Zheng Yan, the head of the Zheng family in Ji County, who had not spoken, got up and added: "The two, it's not that we are pretentious, it's just a matter of the people's livelihood...... If you can't do it, please ask the two officials to stop the army, and don't cause trouble in Hanoi. ”

Bao Xin couldn't help but be furious when he heard this: "Marching and fighting is not eating, how can you say that you will win if you win, and if you say you lose, you will lose, what?" If I can't guarantee victory, I can't move this thief? ”

Pingzheng touched his beard, nodded and said, "Please also ask General Bao to be merciful...... Try not to do anything. ”

"How can it be!" Bao Xin's eyes widened, and he suddenly got up and was about to have a seizure.

Wang Kuang was startled when he saw this, and he hurriedly got up, hurriedly stopped in front of Bao Xin, and said: "Yuncheng, don't be rude, dissipate the gas, eliminate the gas, and think about it in the long run!" ”

Seeing that Bao Xin was angry, the head of the Naping family was not afraid, he slowly stood up, and said indifferently: "The old man is dedicated to the people, if General Bao has soldiers and generals in his hands and can't listen to good words, then the old man can be killed with a stick...... However, forgive the old man for saying more, although General Bao is a pillar of the Han family, but my Hanoi Ping family has also established the imperial court as an official for several generations, and there are officials in various states and counties in the world, and there are also people who have come out of my Ping family...... That's all for today, and the old man and others will not be here to accompany me. ”

After saying that, he arched his hand, and then shook his head and left, followed by Li Shao and Zheng Yan.

Sima Lang was young, but he was quite self-contained, and he said goodbye to all the adults present, including the potters, one by one, before leaving.

had a good wine banquet, and before I could drink a glass of wine, I broke up unhappily.

Bao Xin pointed at Wang Kuang angrily and said angrily: "Gongjie, how did you do it?" Do you just let them be so rude to you? Didn't he think that Bao really couldn't kill him? ”

Wang Kuang grinned awkwardly, but he was not angry, but patiently persuaded.

"Yuncheng, I'm different from you, we are fellow villagers, we are all from Taishan County, you are lucky, you are a prime minister of Jibei, and you can be regarded as a hometown...... But I am not familiar with the place here, the Hanoi Wang clan has been operating here for hundreds of years, and the power is intertwined, controlling many important tasks, fields, production and business in the county, when I first came here, it was only with their support that I had the ability to go south to crusade against Dong Zhuo! Now that the discussion is over, he is preparing to grasp the affairs of the county little by little, and he can't afford to provoke them for the time being! ”

After a pause, Wang Kuang said again: "It's not impossible for you to kill them, but in the future, the names of you and me will also stink among the world's corporal clans......

Bao Xin raised his hand and tapped Wang Kuang's nose vigorously, and said angrily: "I won't kill him...... Then will you go with us to crusade against the White Polish Army? ”

Wang Kuang laughed when he heard this, and said, "Crusade? How to crusade? Originally, I funded your food and grass for three months, but you dare to guarantee that you will be able to completely conquer Zibo City in three months? Even if it is captured! …… At this time, seeing that winter is about to begin, nearly 30,000 soldiers under your command, and 10,000 soldiers under the command of Tao Gongzi, whether they return to their hometown or not...... This is a cotton coat, thick trousers, a charcoal fire, winter food, a vehicle, and winter grass for horses...... Who will supply you with these supplies? Who are you not going to ask the uncles of those noble families to beg? I'm just a poor man, but I can't afford to support your 40,000 horses! ”

"You ......" Bao Xin made Wang Kuang speechless, but he couldn't refute it.

While Bao Xin and Wang Kuang were arguing, the potter found Han Hao sitting aside, frowning, unhappy, as if he was sulking.

Think about chatting with Han Hao when you came...... This Han Zheng also seems to have a lot of complaints about the Wang family in Hanoi.

So Tao Shang took advantage of the chaos between Bao Xin and Wang Kuang, came to Han Hao's side, and said in a low voice: "Han engaged, Tao has something unknown, I want to ask Han Cheng for advice, if it is convenient for Han to engage, I hope to tell him." ”

Han Hao smiled bitterly when he heard this: "It's okay to tell Childe anything, as long as Childe doesn't make a noise for me...... Because it's so embarrassing. ”

The potter smiled: "Isn't that a misunderstanding...... Han engaged and Tao Moushi heard from those family masters that they didn't want us to crusade against the Baibo Army, because they were afraid that if they couldn't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, they would be retaliated against by the Baibo Army in the future...... But I don't understand, Bai Bojun himself did not produce, did not farm, and in the past he lived by robbing his family and houses, and our prefectures and counties under Hanoi County must not be spared...... These big clan heads would rather use themselves as reserve food for the White Wave Army and be robbed every once in a while, rather than let us try to exterminate the White Wave Army? If it succeeds, wouldn't it be done once and for all...... Isn't that a strange idea? ”

Han Hao sneered and said, "Childe thinks too much, these heads of the wang clan, all of them are shrewd like monkeys, how can they be pigs and sheep to be slaughtered for Bai Bojun?" To tell the truth, the Bai Bo army came to Hanoi to rob, but they would not rob the grain, grass and livestock of these noble families at all, and they mainly robbed ordinary people. ”

The potter was curious: "Why?" ”

Han Hao snorted: "I don't know the specific details, but I can guess some, the so-called Bai Bo Army and these noble clans are just complementary to each other and use each other!" The Wang clan has a deep heritage and good energy, and Bai Bojun is unwilling to provoke ...... And the existence of the White Wave Army can also give these noble families a reason to recruit more private soldiers...... Gongzi knows that because of the matter of the Bai Bo Army, how many times have the families mentioned it to Wang Fujun, to reserve knives and weapons, and recruit Ding Zhuang to help the state and county officials and soldiers prevent thieves, hehe, but he has been suppressed by the Fujun on this matter. Although the thieves and the scholars have not interacted, they have always complemented each other, and after a long time, there will be some tacit understanding...... I even guessed that sometimes when the Bai Bo army came out to rob, these noble clans would secretly give some convenience...... It's really a black-and-white collusion, all of them are really calculating! But the suffering is only those ordinary people. ”

When the potter heard this, he suddenly realized...... Hearing this complicated situation, the potter also frowned deeply at first, but after a while, he saw a playful smile on the corner of his mouth.

Interesting, since everyone is willing to play yin, you might as well have fun.
