Zhang Niujiao quickly disappeared from view, but Cao Cao and his party were always in the field of vision of Zhang Rang and others.

"It's really ghostly." Cao Cao glanced behind him a few times, obviously shuddering at the fact that he could threaten his name at all times.

Zhao Yun's mentality is much calmer. He glanced disdainfully at Zhang Rang's location, constantly assessing the possibility of capturing the thief and capturing the king first. Speaking of which, he doesn't look much at the group of pursuers who have suffered defeats. It's just that there are too many of them, even if they have the ability to rush in front of Zhang Rang, it will take a lot of time. So during this time, Zhang Rang can do more. Naturally, this also includes the wolf's rush to escape.

Liu Hong also has similar thoughts. "Zhang Rang, this eunuch, doesn't know how to use soldiers at all. If I were him, I would have divided my men into three groups and pursued them alternately. In this way, there is always a group of people who can get rest, and after a long time, they have an advantage in physical strength. ”

Zhao Yun gave a thumbs up and praised, "The elder is really a good plan. ”

Liu Hong laughed: "In Suning's words, this is just a mathematical problem." ”

In fact, they didn't know that on the battlefield in Liangzhou, this method of pursuit had already evolved and been widely promoted.

Just as they were talking without any evidence, the surroundings suddenly changed. First, a flock of pigeons flew from behind them, flapping their wings and hurrying westward. Then there was a violent tremor in the ground, as if a large number of cavalry was approaching.

Zhao Yun and Cao Cao glanced at each other, and both of them guessed the purpose of this cavalry. Without saying a word, they took Liu Hong and accelerated their progress.

Not far ahead, there is the narrow terrain of Taolinsai. It was easy for the three of them to pass through, but it was difficult for the brigade of soldiers and horses. That way they'll have an extra safe time.

They didn't know that at this time, in front of Taolin Sai, it had become a place where the two groups of people met.

Suning and Zhang Jiao were walking quickly towards each other. While holding the gold cube from the system library, he raised his hands high in the air and made a respectful gesture of acceptance.

These prescriptions are what Suning called Fu Shui. When he was studying the history of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he saw Zhang Jiao scattering Fu Shui everywhere to cure diseases, and most of them could be cured, so he guessed that the so-called Fu Shui was just a traditional Chinese medicine decoction with mysticism.

So when I met the Yellow Turban Army not long ago, I thought of using the prescription in exchange for Zhang Jiao's promise not to preach in Liangzhou.

Sure enough, Zhang Jiao sent Zhang Niujiao to contact him, and during this time, he also showed his approval of his doctrine. This made him even more convinced that his guess when he was studying was correct, so he came to meet him with Taolinsai with confidence.

Zhang Jiao's mentality is actually similar to him. If I had to say anything different, it would probably be that he had more reverence in his heart.

Although his age is far older than Suning, it is the years of wandering in the rivers and lakes that made him realize that the things recorded on it are useful knowledge for the people of the world as soon as he saw the newspaper.

After receiving the prescription handed over by Suning, Zhang Jiao received it in his arms, and invited Suning to the arranged banquet to talk.

Suning naturally has nothing to do, anyway, with Dian Wei here, he is not worried that this is a Hongmen banquet. Besides, in order to dispel his doubts, Zhang Jiao deliberately placed this simple banquet in the middle of the two teams.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Zhang Jiao took the lead in opening the conversation.

"When I founded Taiping Dao, I hoped that the world would be peaceful! But after more than 20 years of preaching, I realized ......"

"The ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny." Suning summed him up with a later buzzword.

Although Zhang Jiao didn't understand it immediately, from Suning's embarrassed tone, he had already understood the meaning of that sentence.

"I didn't expect you to have a similar feeling at a young age." Zhang Jiao put down the dishes and chopsticks, and suddenly said seriously, "That's fine, you should also know that there will be a lot of things that don't go well." I don't think it's like this, you just don't do it yourself, join us. ”

Suning was nibbling on a chicken leg in his mouth, and when he heard this, his mouth loosened, and the chicken leg fell into the wine bowl with a plop.

"Join you?" Suning seems to have heard a big joke, an elderly and angry young man who relies on mysticism and religion to gather the masses at the bottom and plot against him, and a young uncle who raises the sails of scientism and is ready to rush forward on the road of modernization, and does not forget to pull up the poor intellectuals.

Is there any possibility of resonance between the two?

Suning picked up the chicken leg that had fallen into the wine bowl again, and replied honestly, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you." ”

Such an untactful refusal immediately made his men angry. Several of the men who appeared to be the ringleaders drew their weapons in anger.

Suning also had no intention of retreating, first the young Zhou Qun pulled out his long sword, and narrowed his eyes at Dian Wei, who was sitting with him.

Zhang Niujiao immediately felt that infinite killing intent was surging out from the strong man in front of him. He hadn't seen anyone like this in a long time.

Zhang Jiao seems to be accustomed to such scenes, and in the years of his mission, he does not know how many families he has had conflicts with, and he has participated in negotiations like this one without a small number of them. During the banquet, they intimidated and threatened each other, and it was almost a must-have dish like chicken, fish, pig and sheep.

He happened to be looking at Suning all the time now. This young man must have seen such a scene for the first time.

However, what made Zhang Jiao a little puzzled, Suning's face did not have any abnormal expression. Neither was he afraid of the sharp sword, nor was he in a hurry to drink and eat meat to hide the tension in his heart.

He just looked at Zhang Jiao opposite with indifferent eyes.

Zhang Jiao laughed: "What a young man." He gulped down a bowl of wine and said, "If you are willing to join the Taiping Dao, our three brothers will definitely regard you as a brother." In the future, you will be the number four leader of millions of Taiping Daoists. ”

- Leader Four?

Suning sneered, obviously disdainful of the price of Zhang Jiao's expulsion. But he then sighed, and after drinking a bowl of wine, he said, "I can understand your intentions in attracting me. You and I both have dreams of peace in the world. However, you and I have different methods, and we can't become like-minded people after all. ”

Zhang Jiao asked: "Why are we using different methods?" You see you're not sending me ......"

"That's different." Suning interrupted him and said, "You use it to make talisman water, and I just use it to simply cause illness." ”

Zhou Qun on the side pointed out sharply: "My teacher uses knowledge, and you use superstition!" ”

"Superstition?" Zhang Jiao chewed on the word that Zhou Qun learned from Suning, and only said slowly after a long time, "Young man, the sinister nature of the learned people in this world is not inferior to any bandits and robbers. One day you will find that your so-called learning will be denounced as heresy, and your admiration for this kind of learning will also be defined as superstition. ”

Zhou Qun heard these words and exclaimed: "How is it possible? He looked at Suning suspiciously, trying to seek support from his teacher.

Suning just sighed and didn't express any opinion on this.

Zhang Jiao on the side was already laughing. He looked at the young man Zhou Qun with a playful eye, and added, "It seems that your teacher is already prepared for that kind of situation. The knowledge you spread, if it were just a novelty, would have become the talk of the family after dinner, but you mainly spread it among the poor. Then the family will one day launch a large-scale false accusation against you. When the time comes, your life will be difficult. Think about it, how terrible it will be for you to be rejected by most of the Han people. ”

Zhou Qun's eyes began to turn frightened. He looked at Suning again and asked, "Teacher, will there be that day?" ”

Suning let out a long sigh, and said to Zhang Jiao: "I knew that you were my confidant!" ”

Zhang Jiao laughed, Zhou Qun lost his soul!

However, Suning suddenly said at this time: "But I have nothing to fear!" ”

Zhang Jiao's laughter stopped abruptly, and Zhou Qun's eyes glowed again.

But I heard Suning continue: "The difference between me and you is precisely this. I'm not saying that you don't stick to your faith as well as I do, but that our faith is different. You believe in the gods, and I believe in the way of heaven. ”

Zhang Jiao chewed on these words slowly, but for a long time he got nothing. He didn't notice any difference between the gods and the Heavenly Dao, and finally just said, "I don't have as much knowledge as you. I just want to lead Li Shu to a peaceful day in the world. I firmly believe that those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and Taiping Tao is my tool to win the hearts of the people. ”

"There's something wrong with what you're saying." Suning's evaluation also began to sharpen, "Those who win the hearts of the people may not be able to win the world, only those who know the way of heaven can truly win the world!" ”

Zhang Jiao obviously disagreed with this statement, and he turned to Zhou Qun and said: "Your teacher is a very stubborn person, and one day in the future, his stubbornness will put him in a desperate situation on all sides. If you want to save him, you might as well learn how I use the prescription to make talisman water. Sometimes the stupidity of the people is not something you can easily change. If there are gods to help you spread knowledge, it will enter the hearts of thousands of households faster. ”

Zhou Qun knew what Zhang Jiao meant by this, and Suning also knew. He wanted to persuade Zhou Qun to ignore these words, because science does not need to be promoted to the altar, let alone superstition as a catalyst for dissemination. However, when he handed the color to Zhou Qun, he saw that the other party's eyes had flashed with a different kind of brilliance.

The strange color is clearly saying, "Teacher, I won't let you have an accident!" ”

Suning hurriedly prepared to rephrase the words, and he must pull this student back from the swamp of superstition. However, the sudden sound of horses' hooves and fighting broke his train of thought!

In the distance, Cao Cao, Liu Hong, and Zhao Yun came at a gallop, and behind them, 1,300 Hu cavalry from the Changshui Battalion were frantically chasing them.

Suning was shocked, he didn't know what happened to Cao Cao and the others, but he knew how to deal with it urgently.

"Dian Wei, go up and save them!"

Zhang Jiao saw that Suning seemed to know the person who was being hunted down, so he simply sent a favor, so he ordered: "Zhang Niujiao, go up and help!" ”
