After confirming the information, Pei Yuanshao couldn't help but say playfully: "Old Bian, you can do this map." ”

Bian Xi was using charcoal to fill in the road he passed, and after listening to Pei Yuanshao's words, he first smiled with a complicated expression, and then said: "This is also Sima Jun's correct guidance and Guan Jun's road lead." ”

As if he didn't hear the emotion, Pei Yuanshao smiled at Guan Hai and said, "Old Guan, you really have a good road here." ”

With Pei Yuanshao playing a round, Guan Hai said: "This is still a good map drawn by Chief of Staff Bian." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Xiao almost laughed out loud. In terms of dealing with people, the twenty-six-year-old Guan Hai is much more mature than the twenty-two-year-old Bian Xi. Not only did Pei Yuanshao see that Bian Xi was dissatisfied with his lower official position than others, but Guan Hai also saw it. When addressing Bian Xi, Guan Hai picked up the one with the largest official position among Bian Xi's several identities.

Hearing this title, the corners of Bian Xi's mouth moved, and his face softened a lot. Seeing that the antagonism between the two sides had been greatly eased, Zhang Luo said: "Tell the brothers, after this battle, there is no need to worry about the Han army chasing us behind for the time being." Get a good night's sleep! Fight fast and completely defeat the Han army! ”

"Let me take the lead!" Pei Yuanshao said confidently.

"The brothers in the front row changed into the clothes of the Han army." Zhang Luo ordered.

In several wars, many military uniforms and flags of the Han army were captured. When he was able to deceive the Han army, Zhang Luo would always do it.

The battle went very smoothly, and the Han army did not expect that the group of soldiers wearing Han army armor and helmets who caught up from behind were disguised by Taipingdao. It wasn't until the group of "Han soldiers" took off their helmets and exposed the yellow scarves on their heads that they showed their identity.

Pei Yuanshao's troops, armed with spears, covered the front along the road from the back to the front, and killed most of the Han troops in the rear with a single charge. The Han troops in the front team immediately scattered and fled, running away without a trace.

"Phew! This is not the real Han army! It is a part composed of the legs of the brave dogs of Haoqiang Township, and it is too unbeaten. But there are a lot of three melons and two dates! Pei Yuanshao searched for the corpse.

"Zhang Shuai, let's continue to Qingzhou now." Cleaned up the battlefield, Guan Hai said.

"Guan Jun, I remember you said there is a small village here, right?" Zhang Luo asked.

"There is indeed one, and after this village is Guantao County." Guan Hai replied.

Zhang Luo nodded, "Then let's go there first, the fleeing dog's legs, I'm afraid they won't let go of that village." ”

"Zhang Shuai, if you want to recruit people, as long as you go to Qingzhou, don't say that people from one village, it is easy to gather twenty or thirty thousand people there. Let's go to Pingyuan County for three days at most, why spend a whole day going to a village. Sima Ju on the side persuaded Zhang Luo.

Zhang Luo laughed, he pointed to the more than 400 brothers of his subordinates who continued to clean the battlefield and said to Sima Ju: "Sima Jun, let's not say what you have, I only ask you, are you from Qingzhou, or are you from our general?" ”

Sima Ju thought for a while before replying, "I am naturally a person from the general of Rengong. ”

Zhang Luo nodded, "In this case, Qingzhou Taiping Dao can gather twenty or thirty thousand brothers, why should people listen to the orders of our eight hundred people?" ”

This question was asked sharply, and Sima Ju couldn't answer it easily. The truth on the rivers and lakes is obvious, whoever has a big fist and who has a long experience will be counted.

The problem is whether the fist is big or not, although he has been in Jizhou Taiping Road for so long, and he knows the ability of these hundreds of people under Zhang Luo, but there is no real fight, Sima Ju feels that Qingzhou's brothers will not think that Zhang Luo's hundreds of people have the capital to command Qingzhou. Sima Ju himself knew that he wanted to make the most of his influence in his hometown to develop the tribe - which would take quite a long time.

Seeing that Sima Ju had figured it out a little, Zhang Luo continued: "That Han army and township Yongqian team have already run away, and with their virtue, they will definitely harass the place." We can't manage the manor villages of the landlords, and the villages of small settlements can't let the Han army and Xiangyong be so scourged. In any case, if a small village in the neighborhood is harassed, we can't say that it has nothing to do with it. ”

Sima Ju saw Zhang Luo's all-encompassing appearance, but he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. If it is logically speaking, they failed to annihilate this Han army and harassed the place after fleeing, which has something to do with them. It's just that this has to be based on the idea that even if the troops of Taiping Road are just passing by, they must be responsible for the villages along the way. The tube is so wide, Sima Ju feels that Zhang Luo is a little suspicious of taking a mouse.

Zhang Luo didn't care about Sima Ju's thoughts, the map was taken out to determine the direction, and Zhang Luo began to advance with the team. After walking for more than an hour, I finally arrived at the village.

The village is called Lijiawu, near a valley, the village is not large, there are more than 100 families, and the houses live in them do not look very good.

Seeing Zhang Luo and more than 800 of them appear in front of the village, the people in the village closed the door early. However, a group of more than 50 young men rushed to the entrance of the village with all kinds of weapons, and confronted Zhang Luo's troops without fear.

Sima Ju came out of the crowd, he did not bring a weapon, and walked generously to more than fifty people. He arched his hand to the villagers and said in Yangping local dialect: "Fellow villagers, we are soldiers and horses of Taiping Dao, not bandits!" This morning, we fought a battle with the people of the government, killing more than 200 people, and more than 200 officers and soldiers fled. We came here to see if the officers and soldiers had escaped here. ”

Just hearing Sima Ju's local words, the nervous expressions of the villagers dissipated a lot.

"We didn't see any officers or soldiers coming."

A sturdy man in his thirties took a few steps forward, stood in front of Sima Ju and said. After speaking, he looked at Sima Ju and the others carefully, all of them were wrapped in yellow scarves, who in this world except Taiping Dao dared to walk out with yellow scarves swaggering.

"Are you really from the Taiping Army?"

"Exactly. We are the subordinates of Zhang Luo Daqu Shuai of Taiping Road. Sima Ju replied proudly.

The official system of Taiping Dao means nothing to these ordinary people in Guangxi, who have neither heard of nor have any interest in it. In fact, even the officers and men of the Taiping Army, most of whom did not understand these complicated systems. Therefore, in the face of the people's indifference to the official name, Sima Ju is also very understanding.

"In that case, can we rest outside the village for the night? It's getting dark, and we can't get there in the dark. Sima Ju said.

Although it showed good intentions, it was also very dangerous for such more than 800 heavily armed outsiders to spend the night next to the village. It's just that the people in the village don't dare to refuse, and if they anger these Taiping Dao people, it's also a very bad thing.

The village chief came out to welcome Zhang Luo to stay outside the village. They also took out some food and "offered" it to Taiping Dao. According to the Taiping Dao system, money is required to buy and sell things. Liao Chun, who was in charge of logistics, gave the village silver according to the amount of food. At this moment, the people immediately became excited. In this poor and remote place, it is quite common to rely on force to coerce others to eat and drink for nothing, and it is rare to give money for food. The village chief simply invited Zhang Luo and other commanders to the village as guests.

Naturally, the house is not a good house, and the diet is very ordinary, which is mainly pasta-based food.

As a thank you gift, Zhang Luo also gave the village chief a pound of salt, and the village chief and the village elders were even more smiling.

During the meal, Zhang Luo inquired about the situation in the village and last year's harvest. Naturally, the village chief complained a lot, what taxes were heavy and the harvest was poor. Zhang Luo didn't care whether what these people said was true or not, he got off the donkey and said: "We have a song here, but I don't know if you have heard it." ”

"What song?" The people in the village joked.

"The superior people owe me money, the medium ones have to sleep, and the inferior ones go with me, it is better than renting oxen and plowing thin fields!" Zhang sang sharply. After singing, he smiled and said, "Everyone, since everyone said that this situation is like this, it is better to follow us and turn it back." We poor people fight the world and sit in the world. What if you are from an inferior background? Fight down the world, we are also the best people! Don't be angry with others anymore! ”

The village chief said lightly: "But I don't know where you are going?" ”

"I'm going to fight Plains County now." Zhang Luo replied.

"Plains County? Is it just you? The village chief looked at Zhang Luo with a funny gaze. It seems that the village chief has also participated in many battles, but I am afraid that he has also run to the plains - Zhang Luo, these 800 people, have not been able to take the plains county at all.
