"No, you can't. Gong Li, I waited for the nine wealthy families in Hedong to invest so much for the White Wave Thief, how could we just let him eradicate Wen Bufan for us, and then stop using it?

The White Wave Thief, with our funding, recruited troops everywhere in March, that Guo Da has some ability, through the identity of the Yellow Turban Qu Marshal in the past, it is effortless to incorporate the remnants of the Yellow Turban in the states and counties near Xihe, plus our private soldiers, the current strength is only afraid of 70,000 or 80,000, and over time, Guo Da is likely to become the second Zhang Jiao. The potential is so great that if we don't make good use of it, it will be in vain.

Ladies and gentlemen, we can't be so short-sighted, take a farther view, this world is very big. The princes said, right or wrong? ”

Suddenly, Wang Zhong, who was on the main seat in the hall of the palace, spoke, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he spoke amazingly, especially his last sentence, which simply made the patriarchs of the eight wealthy families under the seat beat wildly, and then their eyes burst out to be exposed.

"The prince deserves to be the prince. A word wakes up the dreamer. ”

"That's right, we're really short-sighted, this world is very, big."

"Then, Guo Da and Yuan Benchu, these two chess pieces, I have to work a little harder. This 100,000 taels of gold, I don't think you will have any more opinions. ”

"Of course, of course."

Wang Zhong's words immediately caused a commotion at the table, but soon, these people made decisions one after another. It seems that they are ready to be fed, and Guo Da, a hungry tiger, is not well fed.

A few days later, at the earthen ramparts of the White Wave Valley.

"Report, Master Heaven. One hundred thousand taels of gold have arrived. The villains and others have all counted, and 100,000 taels of gold is no more or less. ”

A white wave thief scout hurried and knelt on one knee in the earthen chamber. Guo Da, who was sitting on the high seat in the lobby, bowed his head slightly, indicating that he was clear, and ordered the scout to step back and accept the reward.

Guo Da rewards and punishments are clear, and he is willing to make money, as long as the meritorious person is rewarded, it will not be shabby. Therefore, the white wave thieves under him admired Guo Da very much, and were willing to die for Guo Da.

"Haha, another hundred thousand taels of gold. These Hedong wealthy people are really willing. Master Celestial, with these silver taels, I will wait for the Heavenly Army to expand again. ”

Han Xiao laughed wildly, laughing like a burst of thunder, which made people ringing in the ears.

"Congratulations to the Heavenly Master, congratulations to the Heavenly Master. According to this situation, I am afraid that the day is not far off when the Heavenly Army will restore the heyday of the great sages and good teachers of the past. ”

Yang Feng, who was beside Han Yu, took a step forward and congratulated him.

But Guo Da didn't see any joy on his face, as if he had expected that the nine wealthy families in Hedong would be obedient and send the huge sum of 100,000 gold.

"Noise. Those who achieve great things are happy and angry. A mere 100,000 taels of gold can make you ecstatic, and how can I let you lead an army alone in the future.

Hum. Originally, I had already intended to recruit like-minded people in the northeast, northeast, and southwest of Hedong, and I also sent letters to them. If it weren't for the sudden disruption of the situation, most of these like-minded people would have thrown in at this time.

However, fortunately, although these like-minded people were exterminated by Wen Bufan, they also shocked the fear of the wealthy people in Hedong, and they originally started to send some materials to bargain, but later heard that Wen Bufan and his second brother's soldiers and horses were reported again and again, and they no longer bargained, and let me ask for it.

With their funding, my original plan was not delayed, and my power expanded a little faster. It's just that the most troublesome thing at the moment is that the three brothers Wen Bufan, Guan Yunchang, and Xu Gongming gathered in Xihe, all three of them have extraordinary talents that are different from ordinary people, and they should not be underestimated. ”

"What are you afraid of! The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth. What's more, we have 80,000 heavenly troops, and a few days ago, I heard my subordinates say that the strength of the three brothers in Xihe is less than 20,000. We outnumbered them by four times. If they really dare to go up to Baibo Valley, I, Han Xiao, dare to guarantee that they will not return, and let them die here! ”

Han Xiao snapped his chest, glared at the bull's eye, and shouted with a grin. His thunderous voice suddenly shook the entire lobby.

"Ignorance, ignorance! Han Xiao, you pig head, when will you be able to open your mind? When the two armies face each other, the strength of the army is important, but the strategy is the most terrifying.

Have you forgotten that I sent you and Yang Feng to rob grain, a full 5,000 soldiers and horses, and how many people can you bring back in the end? Yang Feng returned with an injury, if it weren't for Fu Da's life, his life would have been lost in Pingyang! ”

Guo stood up suddenly, pointed at Han Yu's nose and scolded, scolding Han Xiao's dog bloody, but Han Yu didn't dare to say anything, his face was flushed, and Yang Feng next to him also lowered his head unconsciously. The battle in Pingyang can be described as a great shame for the two of them, and after they came back, the two of them were ridiculed by many comrades.

"Hmph, I'll say it again. Wen Bufan, Guan Yunchang, and Xu Gongming, the three brothers, should not be underestimated, and their talents are beyond your comparison. They have been coming to Xihe for a while, and they are afraid that they will send troops to attack in the near future. When the time comes, you must not be rash when you lead the troops, otherwise I will not be polite to you! ”

And not long after Guo Da's words fell, another scout suddenly ran over with a panicked face.

"Newspaper .. Report... Report~! ”

Guo Da frowned, and shouted.

"Why are you so flustered!"

"God.. Master Celestial, Wen... Champion Wen led the troops to attack. At the foot of the White Wave Valley, line up and blow the horn to invite us and other heavenly troops to fight! ”

"What! This Wen Bufan came so quickly, I heard that he and his second brother's soldiers and horses only came to Xihe a few days ago, and they dared to invite our Heavenly Army to fight so quickly? ”

Guo Da's face sank, and he muttered in surprise. And Hu Cai, who had just joined the White Wave Thief opposite Han Xiao, suddenly had a look of resentment on his face, and walked to the center of the hall and knelt down.

"Master Heaven, I am willing to lead the army into battle!"

"Master Heaven, we are also willing to lead the army to fight!"

Han Yu and Yang Feng were not far behind, and at the same time they walked to the center of the hall and knelt down to beg for battle.

"Good. I also want to take a good look at what the champion of this article is capable of and can be famous all over the world! Hu Cai, Yang Feng, and Han Yu sent orders to go down, prepare soldiers and horses, and send 60,000 troops. Wen Bufan was scheming, and then informed Li Le to lead 20,000 troops to stay in the base camp. Join me in the fight! ”

Guo Da looked stunned, and suddenly burst out with a surging momentum, he was able to gather 80,000 thieves to make trouble in Baibo Valley, his means and mind must be beyond ordinary people, Guo Da also believed that he would not be inferior to Wen Han. This time was his first battle with Wen Han, so he chose to dispatch a large army, intending to give Wen Han a dismount with the power of numbers!

Under the Baibo Valley, there are plains within a radius of ten miles. At this time, just after the cold winter, the grass sprouts, and the surrounding area is full of vibrant green color. It's just that the arrival of 20,000 soldiers and horses of the court trampled on this piece of youth, and the horseshoe prints, footprints, and wheels crushed the earth to the ground.

Perhaps, only when the war is over, can this land get a respite and truly usher in a rejuvenation of life.

20,000 court soldiers and horses, divided into six teams, in the center of the front is the cavalry team led by Wen Han and Guan Yu, and on the left and right sides are the trap camp and the Jingdun battalion led by Gao Shun and Xu Huang respectively. In the rear, there were two teams of archers and a team of sword and shield soldiers, as well as seventy or eighty mighty chariots.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were not many different types of chariots. There were only two types that Wen Han brought, one was the Spring and Autumn Chariot, which consisted of a spear-wielding samurai, an archer, and a royal hand, and the other was a box chariot with armor on three sides, which could be used to push out and attack. The cost of building these hundreds of chariots is extremely high, so Wenhan only built hundreds.

And Xu Huang's fine shield battalion, that is, the 1,000 spear shield soldiers he built for two years, he guarded the Xihe River for half a year, and experienced dozens of battles with the white wave thieves, large and small, and the fine shield battalion is becoming more and more mature under the tempering of the war. Xu Huang's elite shield battalion is good at using shields to make various shapes, and at the same time using these shapes to make various offensives, which is more flexible and more powerful than other shield soldiers who can only act as shield walls and only defend but not attack.

After these thousand-gun shield soldiers matured, Xu Huang officially named them the Elite Shield Battalion. Xu Huang has put a lot of effort into this army of soldiers and horses, and his expectations are also very high, hoping to be able to compare with the two soldiers and horses of the Black Wind Cavalry and the Trap Camp in the future.

Around the 20,000 imperial court soldiers and horses, there were many drummers, waving drum sticks, and the neat and mighty drums, accompanied by the sound of horns, resounded all over the world.

And an hour later, on the Baibo Valley, a procession like a long dragon shouted loudly and rushed down the mountain with great momentum. Then the long dragons gathered and lined up in a formation, and a formation soon appeared. Guo Da wore a yellow crown, armor, and a yellow robe, and rode a yellow horse at the head of the team.

Beside him were Yang Feng, Han Yu, Hu Cai and other three generals, and behind him were a dense army of 60,000 thieves like an ant colony. The momentum was so great that it even overshadowed the drums and horns of the soldiers and horses of the court opposite.

"How is that possible! Looking at this formation, there are 60,000 soldiers and horses of this white wave thief, and the guards they left in the base camp are at least 10,000. Three months ago, there were only a few tens of thousands of thieves. ”

Xu Huang looked at it, and suddenly exclaimed, and then turned to Wen Han with a look of guilt, and arched his hand.

"The third brother, the fourth brother is not effective. Since this thief has tripled his strength in March, he is really worthy of the trust of the third brother! After this battle, the fourth brother is willing to receive the punishment! ”

"Sure enough! You wealthy people, you really think that I am a sick cat! Also, Yuan Benchu, you actually intervened! ”

In fact, a few days ago, when Wen Han heard Xu Huang talk about the strange phenomenon of the West River in March, he had already guessed a little. In order not to attract Xu Huang's attention, these wealthy people in Hedong deliberately transported these materials to support the Baibo thieves through Hanoi and then to Baibo Valley.

The white wave thieves were able to vigorously recruit troops and horses with gold and grain to expand their power. In three months, the number of troops doubled. These Hedong tycoons seem to have made a bloody investment.

Wen Han took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and then said to Xu Huang again.

"Fourth brother. You can't be blamed for this. There are many traitors behind the scenes, and you don't notice it for a while, which is understandable. At the moment, I am preparing for the battle in front of me, and I will talk to the fourth brother in detail when I go back. ”

Nearly seventy or eighty thousand thieves, Wen Han didn't feel that his temples were bulging on both sides, and he was in pain. Guo Danai, who heard that this white wave thief, was a remnant of the Yellow Turban, and during the Yellow Turban Rebellion earlier, he had already experienced a lot of war. And listening to Xu Huang, this person's talent is not low, and he is a person who can be compassionate.

All these are enough to show that Guo Dafei is an easy person to deal with. Although, Wen Han once burned Cheng Zhiyuan's 50,000 Yellow Turban thieves in Zhuo County with a fire. But it was all because Cheng Zhiyuan led the troops at the beginning of the time, and he didn't know the common sense of marching and fighting, and when the weather was dry and windy, he camped according to the trees, and Wen Han easily wiped out the 50,000 Yellow Turban Army with a fire.

And Wen Han knows very well that Guo Da is by no means Cheng Zhiyuan and others, and he has so many soldiers and horses under his command, I am afraid that it will not be easy to hastily decide with him in this three months. It can even be said that it is difficult to climb to the sky.
