Xi Zhicai, the earliest strategist who served Cao Wei, was free and informal. Some time ago, I was looking for my friend Guo Jia, and I didn't want to meet a few thieves on the road, which was not a big deal, anyway, I didn't have a lot of money on me, so I robbed it.

I didn't expect to meet someone who was unfair on the road, and when I saw that the other party was polite, talked extraordinary, and had the heart to make friends, it would be tragic if I wanted to exchange names.

Xi Zhicai has learned people, but it is unclear what it means to be a show when he encounters soldiers, this is a living example. was beaten unconscious by the Yellow Turban general Zhou Cang and tied back to the Yellow Turban camp.

Coming to the Yellow Turban camp confiscated any abuse. Every day, when he was full of wine and meat, he restricted his freedom, and every day he stayed in a camp with separate opinions, heavily guarded by heavy troops. He was not allowed to enter and leave the camp at will, which made Xi Zhicai indignant, but fortunately there were still a few books to pass the time.

At this time, the drama was reading and writing books at random under the candlelight. Suddenly, a person walked in from outside the tent, dressed in white, wrapped in a yellow scarf on his head, and wearing square shoes with a double-pointed head on his feet, with red lips and white teeth, which made people feel good at first sight.

Xi Zhicai glanced up at the visitor, then put the book on the table, and fell asleep. The mouth was broken: "It's getting late, it's getting late, it's too late, what a rude person, get out quickly." ”

The person who walked in from outside the tent was Zhang Bao, who was very worried about the battle in the coming day, although he won for a while, it was just a small fight. Zhang Bao is self-aware, and the war must have the overall situation in mind, and the overall situation is exactly what Zhang Bao lacks.

The overall view requires continuous reading, continuous experience and knowledge to be formed. I am just a little common man in my previous life, and I have the advanced consciousness of my previous life that far exceeds that of the current people, and I can play some smart tricks in a small fight. In the real battle, he is far from being Huangfu Song's opponent.

So Zhang Bao came tonight to ask for advice, who knew that it was still the same treatment as the previous times, as soon as he came, no matter what Xi Zhicai was doing before, he just tilted into bed and slept. Ignore him at all.

Zhang Bao smiled bitterly and motioned to Wanrou behind him to put a bowl of hot porridge on the table. "Brother Zhicai is still used to living?" Zhang Bao asked as he stood there on his own.

The put on Xi Zhicai pouted: "You were captured by General Huangfu, will you get used to living in a cell?" A mouth choked Zhang Bao enough.

Zhang Bao opened his mouth, but after thinking about it, he went straight to the point. In the two sentences of greetings, he didn't know if he could resist the poisonous tongue of Xi Zhicai.

"Tonight, Huangfu Bai attacked the camp, and our army expected it early, but it was successfully attacked by our army." Zhang Bao said first.

"Congratulations, congratulations." Xi Zhicai said congratulations, but his tone sounded perfunctory. "Didn't the Digong general make a special trip to show off? Well, then compliment compliments compliment compliments on you. The Yellow Turban Army is so powerful, it has defeated the Han army and defeated the famous generals of the Han Dynasty, and the unification of the world is just around the corner. ”

Zhang Bao was slightly angry: "Brother Zhicai, why are you so prejudiced against our army repeatedly?" ”

Xi Zhicai got up and looked at Zhang Bao: "The Yellow Turban Army is called the rebel army, but it is actually bandits. The realm passed through was burned and killed repeatedly, and everything was done. Don't talk about the Han army, just talk about the people, all talk about the yellow scarf and change color, afraid like a tiger. The defeat of the Yellow Turban Army is a matter of time or later, why do you think I am biased? ”

What Xi Zhicai said was the truth, and Zhang Bao had nothing to defend. The Yellow Turban Army is like a poor man who has just become rich, and the small-scale peasant consciousness in his bones makes the Yellow Turban Army unloved by the people.

Zhang Bao once met a Yellow Turban Army, all the soldiers were not holding weapons, but carrying pots and pans on their shoulders. How could the Yellow Turban Army defeat the Han Army, how could it be expected?

But it's not so easy to stop, one or two can kill people, and when all the Yellow Turban Army is like this, it must be fundamentally changed. There has to be someone to break the game. Although Zhang Bao is one of the top leaders, he is still helpless.

Thinking of this, Zhang Bao suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Xi Zhicai. This kneeling not only stunned Xi Zhicai, but even Wanrou next to him was stunned. In Wanrou's heart, Zhang Bao is a man who stands up to the sky, how can he kneel down to others? hurriedly went to help Zhang Bao. However, Zhang Bao didn't appreciate it, but said slightly angrily: "Kneel down gently." ”

Wanrou looked at Zhang Bao in front of her, feeling a little aggrieved in her heart. In the past, although he was a maid, but the lord was very good to himself, he didn't have to do any rough work, just waited for the lord to serve tea and pour water, and now he lost his temper at himself, his eyes were faintly moist, but he still knelt on the ground.

Zhang Bao next to him looked at Wanrou and felt a little distressed, but he had to endure his heart. When Wanrou also knelt down, she kowtowed and said, "Mr. has a genius in governing the world, and I hope that Mr. can save my Yellow Turban Army." ”

Xi Zhicai saw Zhang Baochong kneeling down and saluting, and was slightly moved. In this era, people pay attention to etiquette, Zhang Bao bows down to himself as the general of the Yellow Turban Army, and attaches so much importance to himself, how can he be ruthless. But Xi Zhicai is not optimistic about the Yellow Turban Army at all.

Don't look at the current Yellow Turban Army's siege strategy, the terrain is like a bamboo. That's because the Han Dynasty hasn't reacted yet, and when it reacts, the destruction of the Yellow Turban Army will be far away. Coupled with the fact that the purpose of the Yellow Turban Army was not supported by the middle-level bureaucratic class, and the two-sided attack of the Han Dynasty, the possibility of victory for the Yellow Turban Army was very small.

Since the Yellow Turban Army is composed of poor people at the bottom of society, the talent of its leaders and the overall strategic situation are also enough. Under such a comprehensive situation, Xi Zhicai is like a snake and scorpion for the Yellow Turban Army, and he doesn't want to be involved at all.

Xi Zhicai was embarrassed: "If it weren't for the yellow scarf that I was not going to do soon, I really couldn't do anything." Please don't embarrass the general. ”

Zhang Bao knelt down again and cried: "Mr. Zhicai is knowledgeable and compassionate. Today, there are as many as five or six hundred thousand people in the Yellow Turban Army, could it be that Mr. watched these people being exterminated by the Han army one by one? I know that my husband will say that it is my brother who did the evil and led the people to destruction for his own selfishness. However, Han Gaozu slashed the snake and rebelled, but because of Qin ****, he took a way to live for the people of the world. Today, the Han dynasty is in danger, the eunuchs are in charge, deceiving the Son of Heaven, doing evil, and the Han court is even more corrupt and rampant. Then how can he be a butcher, what is the ability to be a general? Since He Jin's reign, the people of the world have been displaced, and there are white bones exposed everywhere, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles. Is the gentleman so hard-hearted? ”

After speaking, Zhang Baozhen's tears stained the sleeves of his robe, and his clothes were wet. Hit the ground with your head and "bang". The force was so great that his forehead was bloody. Xi Zhicai saw that Zhang Bao was sincere, and he couldn't help but be moved. However, all the education he has received since childhood is loyal to the Han family, and at this moment, Xi Zhicai's heart is full of contradictions.

If Zhang Bao changed his identity, instead of standing on the opposite side of the Han Dynasty, if it was a situation where the Warring States were competing for power and the heroes were competing for the world, Xi Zhicai would definitely throw himself under Zhang Bao without hesitation, but now, ......

"Sir, sir. I, Zhang Bao, do not ask Mr. to serve under my Zhang Bao, but I ask Mr. to save my Yellow Turban Army, save the people of the world, and point a clear path for my Yellow Turban Army. After finishing speaking, Zhang Bao still touched the ground with his head and "banged". Blood stained the ground.

Wanrou next to her looked at Zhang Bao like this, and she was very distressed. With tears in his eyes, he said: "Sir, Wanrou, a little woman doesn't understand righteousness, my lord is like this, I really feel distressed by the slave family, and I ask Mr. to promise my lord." After speaking, it was also a "bang" kowtow.

Xi Zhicai smiled bitterly, this is really forced to a dead end. sighed and helped Zhang Bao up: "The general doesn't have to be like this, he is shallow, but he is willing to do his best for the general and plan a little." ”

Zhang Bao was overjoyed in his heart, although Xi Zhicai did not say anything about joining the Yellow Turban Army. But as long as you are willing to exert some effort, you will not become a yellow turban after a long time.

Zhang Bao helped Wanrou up, and said in a gentle tone: "Wanrou, go and bandage your forehead, and ask someone to bring some wine and food, I want to sleep with my husband tonight." ”

"Master, let's go and bandage it first." Wanrou said worriedly.

Zhang Bao said with a smile: "A manly man, don't be afraid of death, this little injury is nothing." Mr. Neng Zhicai talks about the world's major events, which is really the biggest thing in life, so you must say more, go quickly. ”

To be honest, from just now to now, Xi Zhicai's heart was really moved, although he did not make up his mind to defect to the Yellow Turban, but decided to take a certain path for the Yellow Turban Army.
