Chu Yan looked at Liu Tao with a very complicated mood. Last year's ambush turned out to be unsuccessful, especially since the situation was very strange.

Liu Tao took a few hundred people and demanded that more than 2,000 of his people surrender, which felt so funny. However, in the eyes of the other party, he saw something different, so he chose to surrender.

The two met privately, and the next thing was when he was most shocked, everything was impacting his inherent understanding of the world.

In the end, I made a ridiculous bet with Liu Tao.

"A few years ago, Zhang Niujiao from Boling sent someone to find me." Chu Yan said slowly, "Yan will raise troops on Boling's side next month and invite you to join." ”

"Why would he want to invite you?" Liu Tao asked jokingly.

"I won't hide it from you, the two of us actually knew each other earlier. In the past, we have worked together for a while. The Taiping Sect raised troops, and he happened to be somewhere else and couldn't respond. Chu Yan replied.

After a pause, he continued: "It's just that when he returned to his hometown, he found that the local gentry did not treat the people better because of this incident, but intensified. Unable to stand it, he decided to raise troops in a month later and invited me to join. ”

"So what do you think? After all, it's up to you to decide whether to respond or not. Liu Tao asked rhetorically.

"Can you really see the future?" Chu Yan was a little scared, the future is full of unknowns, which makes people awe-inspired. But having your future known to others is another level of fear.

"Rest assured, I'm not a god, I just happened to browse the long river of time, and I didn't see much." In front of Chu Yan, Liu Tao adheres to the principle that the magic stick must be pretended to the end.

"............" Chu Yan heard this, although she felt a little difficult to let go, she still felt a sense of relief. He took a deep breath and asked, "So, what should I do next?" ”

"Our bet is not over yet, so it's up to you to decide what you do in the future." Liu Tao said with a smile.

"I'm going to respond, if he really gets hit by the gall, and I can take over his people." Chu Yan replied.

"Then go ahead!" Liu Tao nodded, "Make a big fuss and let everyone in the world know your name." But you have to think clearly, after the incident, you will no longer be Chu Yan, but Zhang Yan. ”

"Nonwoven, since it is going to cause trouble, then it will inevitably become the enemy of the Han Court. Changing your surname can also prevent your relatives from being affected. Chu Yan obviously had a plan.

Bandits and anti-thieves are two different concepts, the former kills at most one person, and the latter is to destroy the three clans. In order to avoid implicating the clansmen, Chu Yan felt that changing her name and surname might also be a good choice.

"As long as you don't have a burden in your heart, that's fine......" Liu Tao couldn't say anything more when he saw this.

"I don't want him to die if I can." Chu Yan hesitated for a moment, but finally said what she thought.

"All I can tell you is that when he attacked the gall, he was killed by an arrow. When this future is known to you and me, then there will only be two directions in the future, one is that he will still be shot in the end, even if you try; Otherwise, it will change because of your efforts, and none of this is beyond my control. Liu Tao was stunned for a moment, and then explained.

"In that case, I'll try it no matter what the result is." Chu Yan was a little relieved, "Of course, in terms of gambling, even if I give up automatically." ”

After a pause, he bowed solemnly to Liu Tao: "The lord is above, but there are orders in the future, and his subordinates must do their best!" ”

Zhang Yan confessed to the lord in this place, to be honest, Liu Tao was a little surprised, but he felt that it was reasonable. The magic stick that he has been pretending to be for so long seems to have fooled him in the end.

"You and I don't need to be so polite, in the next few years, I will have to wronged you to continue to be in the Taihang Mountain area, and it may even last for more than ten years." Liu Tao stepped forward and helped him up.

"The lord just commands it!" Chu Yan nodded.

"I need you, in the past ten years, to unify the hidden households and bandits of the entire Taihang Mountain, and then become the largest and strongest thief in this area." Liu Tao said slowly.

The problem of hidden households is actually the biggest problem of the Han Dynasty, for example, in the area of Wuyue, many people hide in the mountains and forests, and even confront the imperial court in the mountains and forests.

Although the imperial court generally refers to this kind of thief as 'Shanyue', according to the actual situation, there are actually some gaps.

Those who couldn't stand the exploitation of the local squires, and then had to flee to the mountains and forests, were not necessarily Wu Yue's people, but also Han people;

In addition, some of the people who originally lived in this area were after the ancient Yue people, such as Peng Yue. It is said that he is a descendant of Peng Zu, who lives in the Wuyi Mountains, and has opposed Sun Wu many times, led by the commanders of the sect: Peng Qi and Peng Shi.

Strictly speaking, there are similar hidden households in Taihang Mountain and Qinling, and in the case of Taihang Mountain, it is rumored that there are more than one million hidden households. Zhang Yan accepted Zhao'an, and when he became a general in peace, he was appointed to manage these hidden households, and at the same time he could recommend filial piety to the imperial court.

It is equivalent to, the king of the mountain recognized by the imperial court. What Liu Tao wants is to absorb the millions of hidden households in Taihang Mountain for his own use, and at the critical moment, he can migrate a part of it and live in the clouds.

"Whoa!" Chu Yan received the order, and he didn't dwell on the concept of more than ten years. The most important thing is that Liu Tao did not send anyone to 'assist' him, which means that he is almost fully responsible for this matter.

In the rivers and lakes, what is important is faithfulness, Chu Yan recognizes the Lord, and if he can say it, it is a matter of a lifetime. One day he betrays, then it means that he has lost his faith, and if he mixes in the rivers and lakes, there is no faith, which means that he is finished.

Liu Tao believes in his faithfulness, and he will naturally not live up to his faithfulness.

In fact, for Liu Tao, he can accept it if he can, and he can be used as a chess piece placed in Taihang Mountain. It doesn't matter if you can't take it, at most it will be more troublesome later. If you don't lose anything, you naturally won't care too much.

The two sides left with different ideas, but when they were about to separate, Liu Tao still turned around and shouted: "The next time I see you, you are already Zhang Yan, right?" ”

Chu Yan Chu Yan or something, I'm really not used to it.

"Probably like this......" Chu Yan was stunned for a moment, then nodded back, and since then, the two have really separated.

"Brother ......" returned to his position, and Lu Yan and the others stepped forward with concern.

"It's okay, it's okay, let's keep walking!" Liu Tao looked around, "Let's talk about camping tonight." ”

At this time, another rider came from the front, came to the front of the formation, looked at Liu Tao and the others, and shouted: "The leader of my family commands, everyone can march casually." The entire mountain range, the leader of my family has already greeted you, and no one will disturb you. ”

After saying that, he rode away directly, and there was no intention of staying at all.

"Eh, I didn't expect there to be such an unexpected joy...... Liu Tao smiled left and right.
