Just as Shi A was spinning his thoughts in his heart, footsteps sounded, and a team of strong people, surrounded by a thin middle-aged man, came to Shi A and the others.

Of course, these people didn't come for Shi A. The middle-aged man led by him came to the envoy of the Taixing Army and made a very grand salute. However, the main owner of this mission did not even take off the face towel on his face, and returned the salute slightly.

"Earth Master, please inside!"

"Daxian, don't be polite."

The middle-aged man has a poor complexion, gray hair, looks rather haggard, and is old. Shi Ah was taken aback. The middle-aged man in front of him, who doesn't seem to be a threat at all, is the famous leader of the Taiping Road in Bingzhou, the great sacrificial wine Guo Daxian?

However, Shi Ah couldn't think about it, the mysterious "earth master" exchanged a few words with Guo Daxian, and then walked side by side with Guo Daxian to the inside of the barrier. As for the entourage such as Shi A, they are not qualified to follow the earth master and enjoy Guo Daxian's personal greeting.

Of course, the reception of Shi A and others in Bingzhou Taiping Road was quite warm. As soon as they sat down in the fort, someone from Taiping Road in Bingzhou brought cool well water and washed their hands and faces for Shi A and others. Someone also served a cool herbal soup to cool down Shi A and the others.

A bowl of specially prepared herbal soup poured into his stomach, and Shi A only felt that the heat on the way had dissipated all at once, and the whole person had become more energetic.

――But I don't know, who is this sneaky "earth master"? The identity seems to be higher than Guo Daxian?

Shi Ah thought in his heart while drinking the herbal soup.

As for this "earth master" who was remembered by Shi A, he entered a secret room side by side with Guo Daxian, and finally removed the face towel on his face, revealing an old face.

If someone who had stayed by Zhang Jiao's side back then would have been surprised to see this old face. Because, this face is said to be Zhang Bao, the "Digong General" who was said to have been killed by Huangfu Song and Guo Dian and led the army to kill in Quyang City, Jizhou!

"Ground general, don't come unharmed?"

After entering the secret room, Guo Daxian politely greeted the "earth master" again. Obviously, he had known the true identity of the "Earth Master" for a long time.

It turned out that it was said that four years ago, the "Zhang Bao" who was killed by Huangfu Song and Guo Dian was just a Xibei goods. As long as you think about it, you can understand that Zhang Bao, who has practiced the volumes of "Dunjia Heavenly Book" and "Earth", can only be compared to Zuo Ci, the "Demon Dao" who has also practiced "Dunjia Heavenly Book".

If Zhang Bao wants to escape, there will never be more than three people in the world who have the ability to pursue Zhang Bao. In comparison, with the huge power of Taiping Dao, Zhang Bao found a stand-in to coax the Han army, which was not difficult at all.

The Yellow Turban Uprising was only four years ago. However, Zhang Bao's face has aged for twenty years all of a sudden. He slowly returned the salute and asked:

"Ah Tai, you must know what I mean."

Guo Daxian was a disciple of Zhang Jiao back then, and in terms of seniority, he was lower than Zhang Bao. Although the status of the two sides has obviously changed dramatically today, Guo Daxian is still very polite.

"The general, I didn't expect that Han Shengfu [Han Xian's words] would actually do such a thing. Each of these scholars has a very good idea in his heart. To do things, the big truths are all set in one! ”

"Where is Han Xian now?"

Faced with Zhang Bao's question, Guo Daxian spread his hands and replied:

"I've left."

Zhang Bao's voice suddenly became cold:

"Why did you let him go when you knew what he had done?"

Hearing Zhang Bao's accusation, Guo Daxian's face showed a strange expression:

"What do you mean by that? Han Shengfu just didn't want to follow Wuji and said goodbye without saying goodbye. Could it be that what else did he do wrong? ”

Zhang Bao was obviously choked. He had a preconceived idea, thinking that he was talking about Han Xian colluding with the Xiongnu and attacking and killing the Taixing army. Unexpectedly, Guo Daxian gently shirked and turned the topic to another trivial matter.

"Ah Tai, could I, Zhang Bao, come all the way to you to complain for this little thing?"

was overshadowed by Guo Daxian, Zhang Bao had to regain his strength and ask questions officially. However, the so-called "one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion". The failure of the first sentence made Zhang Bao's momentum of questioning a little lower unconsciously.

secretly frustrated Zhang Bao's momentum, but did not make Guo Daxian's heart relax. He pulled himself together and asked in a puzzled tone:

"What's the matter? Could it be that Han Xian did something rebellious? ”

-- I'm still pretending to be ......

Zhang Bao sneered in his heart, and simply said that Han Xian colluded with the Xiongnu and plotted to kill the Taixing army. Of course, between the words, Zhang Bao must say that some of the details that were originally speculated are conclusive evidence.

"Won't it?"

Mrs. Guo showed a stunned expression.

"Han Xian is so bold?"

Between the words, Mrs. Guo's tone was extremely skeptical.

- Just keep pretending!

If it was a person who didn't know the details, he would never be suspicious of Mrs. Guo's expression. It's a pity that Zhang Bao and Mrs. Guo have known each other for a long time, and they will never believe this person, and they will know nothing about Han Xian's despicable behavior.

Among the eight disciples under Zhang Jiaozuo that year, Wu Yong took Guan Hai as the first, and Tang Zhou was the dominant in magic; Commander Bocai has the strongest art of war, and Ma Yiyuan has the best connections; As for this Mrs. Guo, what she is best at is pretending to be stupid, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

Just look at the Yellow Turban Army, which was powerful in the world back then, and now it is scattered. Guo Daxian, who lives in a remote corner, can preserve the strength of Bingzhou Taiping Road very completely. This kung fu is enough to make people realize that Guo Daxian is definitely not to be underestimated.

So, does Mrs. Guo know about Han Xian's behavior?

Zhang Bao didn't want to guess.

Zhang Bao only knew that Mrs. Guo would definitely shield Han Xian. This is an important reason why Mrs. Guo is not too strong in the Taiping Dao, but she can be supported by everyone:

-- He attaches too much importance to the righteousness of his friends.

"Three days ago, Han Xian sent a letter to say that he had offended Wuji and could no longer gain a foothold in Bingzhou. He said that he was going to lead his brothers to Xiliang to defect to Han Wenyue [Han Sui]. So, now, I don't know which horn this guy has gone to. ”

Since Mrs. Guo was cheeky enough to explain like this, although Zhang Bao didn't believe it, she could only accept it like this. After all, the Taixing army has a request from Mrs. Guo at the moment, and it is not beneficial for everyone to stiffen the relationship between the two sides.

Of course, if Mrs. Guo couldn't give the corresponding sincerity in the next conversation, Zhang Bao would not forgive him.

"Now, Wuji led the army and pacified the Xiongnu. However, the number of Han Chinese under Wuji is limited. If you want to stabilize the homeland of the Xiongnu, the displaced people in your hands will also begin to prepare to migrate north. ”

Speaking of this question, Mrs. Guo's spirits immediately lifted. If you really want to calculate it, the arrogant strategy of merging states is completely based on mutual trust and cooperation with the Taiping Province of Bingzhou. The overall plan is as follows:

If the Taixing army can defeat the Xiongnu and occupy all the counties of Xihe, Shuofang, Wuyuan, etc., the hometown of the Han Dynasty, then the Taiping Road of the Prefecture will mobilize the Taoists under its command and try to find ways to migrate the displaced people who have accumulated in various parts of the prefecture and the county in Hedong to these three counties as much as possible.

Although these three counties are somewhat remote, they are located along the Yellow River, with fertile soil and convenient irrigation, which can be reclaimed as fertile soil. In later generations, the famous Hetao Plain was located in these three counties. As long as the 500,000 people can be effectively controlled and effective production activities can be carried out, the arrogant forces can be regarded as truly having a foundation.

In the future, when the Kwantung princes attacked each other, annexed and slaughtered, Zhang Da could secretly accumulate strength and wait for the time. Once the situation changes abruptly and the opportunity appears, the arrogance that has been prepared for a long time can be killed in one fell swoop, annexing states and counties, dominating one side, and then dominating the world!

However, this latent plan for the future, which is good, has a fatal flaw. If the Taiping Dao of Bingzhou changed after the victory of the Taixing army, no matter how clever the arrogant strategic design was, everything would fail!

Therefore, in the hearts of Zhang Qi and Cheng Yu, Wei Shi did not plan to fail. Zhang Mad has long been mentally prepared, once there is a disagreement, Zhang Mad will decisively give up the Meiji Royal Court, abandon the captured cattle and sheep, and immediately return to Taihang Mountain with light equipment.

Based on the current situation within the state and the combat effectiveness of the Taixing Army, arrogantly thinking about it, there is no force on either side that has the ability to swallow the current Taixing Army in one bite.

As for why Zhang Bao was finally willing to take a huge risk and agree to implement this strategy, it was because of Zhang Bao's strong persuasion. Zhang Bao's persuasion was very direct. He just emphasized one thing repeatedly:

"Mrs. Guo is extremely reliable!"
