At the foot of the vast Taihang Mountain, a group of ten horsemen galloped over, most of the people riding the horses were big men with tigers on their backs, but only one person was thin but exceptionally tall and majestic.

Guo Jia Xizhi stood tall with his chest, and behind him, Gan Ning Zhou Tai, and Xu Chudianwei were lined up, and the momentum was enough to shock the heroes of the world.

The ten horsemen slowly slowed down, and when they came to Guo Jia, they stopped their horses.

The breeze was blowing, his hair was lightly raised, and Guo Jia looked at the people on the ten horses without changing his face.

After the ten people dismounted, the four people in blue and white cloth stepped forward and came to Guo Jia with fists and said in turn:

"Zhang Baiqi has seen the little princess."

"Zhang Yan has seen the little princess."

"Sima Ju has seen the little princess."

"Xu He has seen the little princess."

looked at the four people in front of him with a faint expression, three of them Guo Jia once had a relationship in Yecheng, and as for Zhang Yan, he can be regarded as a well-known figure in the Black Mountain Army.

After returning the salute, Guo Jia asked, "What did the four of you come to see and teach?" ”

It's not that Guo Jia is unkind, but he really doesn't understand what the purpose of these people is, if it's to avenge Bocai? Moreover, the four of them are now the leaders of the Yellow Turban Remnant, what if they came to recruit him again?

After the four of them glanced at each other, their eyes fell on Xi Zhicai beside Guo Jia, as well as Xu Chudianwei and Gan Ning Zhou Tai behind him.

It seems to be expressing that there are idle people present, and it is inconvenient to talk.

Guo Jia saw their expressions and knew what they were referring to, and said: "They are all my friends of life and death, I Guo Jia can give my life to them, do I have to avoid them when I talk to you?" ”

This sentence is obvious, Guo Jiaxin is no more than the four people in front of him.

The faces of the four people showed embarrassment, but soon their expressions were serious, and Zhang Yan, who was thin but tall, took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Don't hide it from the little princess, my father-in-law Zhang Niujiao was seriously injured in Luoyang City, and passed away half a year later. It is to fulfill the arrangements of the great virtuous and virtuous people. ”

Zhang Baiqi, Sima Ju, Xu and Qi Qi nodded in favor of Zhang Yan's words.

Although Guo Jia was suspicious in his heart, he didn't expect Zhang Jiao to have an after-the-fact arrangement, but his face was still calm, and he asked, "Oh? Why did the great sages and good teachers ask you to come to me? ”

Zhang Baiqi, Zhang Yan, Sima Ju, Xu and the four of them knelt down on one knee in front of Guo Jia, Zhang Yan lowered his head and said respectfully: "The great virtuous and good teacher instructed my father-in-law Zhang Niujiao and the three Qu Shuai long before the incident. ”

Hearing this, Gan Ning Zhou Tai and Xu Chudianwei were all shocked, looking at the four people kneeling in front of Guo Jia, their hearts were shocked.

The great sage and good teacher actually value Guo Jia so much?

The face does not change, drama Zhicai, Guo Jia.

The two of them were far-sighted, and their thinking was very superficial, and Xi Zhicai probably guessed that these four people only came to serve today, and they should have seen Guo Jia being hunted down and killed by the imperial court, and they were obviously inseparable from the imperial court, so they dared to come to serve.

And Guo Jia sneered in his heart: I'm afraid that the four of them also know that with their talents, they will be defeated sooner or later, and now they are cornered, so they remembered the will of the great sage and good teacher.

"How can I, Guo Jia, be virtuous? Let's go, four of you. ”

Guo Jia waved his hand lightly, Gan Ning and the others behind him were in a hurry, now the situation is already obvious, if you want to do something, the rest of the yellow turban is integrated, and it is also a force that should not be underestimated, but why should Guo Jia refuse to be thousands of miles away?

Zhang Baiqi and the others didn't expect Guo Jia not to accept their surrender, and they couldn't react, but Zhang Yan hugged his fists and said: "Little Taigong, we are indeed sincere in our service, and we are at the mercy of Xiao Taigong. ”

It is not enough to be faithful by words.

Guo Jia suddenly reflexively pulled out the straddle knife from Zhou Tai's waist, and took advantage of the situation to cross Zhang Yan's neck, and said lightly: "What if I kill you?" ”

Zhang Baiqi and the three of them were shocked, and the six cronies behind them even pulled out their blades, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

With a big hand waved back to stop the impulse of the cronies behind him, Zhang Yan raised his head and looked up at Guo Jia, his clean and slightly Sven face was full of resoluteness, and he said resolutely: "Little Taigong, the great virtuous teacher once said that if the Taiping Dao fails to do so, the only one who can save the Taiping Dao is the Little Taigong." Now that my Taiping Dao disciples are displaced, hiding in the mountains and forests, and struggling to walk, if the little prince is unwilling to lead Taiping Dao out of a desperate situation, he will say that my Taiping Dao will also fall. If the little prince doesn't believe in Zhang Yan's loyalty and sincerity, then ask the little prince to kill me at this moment. ”

Guo Jia slowly moved his gaze to the three Zhang Baiqi on the side, and saw that they were still kneeling there after all, and said softly: "When I was in Yecheng, I once refused the solicitation of the great sage and good teacher, and I spoke disrespectfully, you three, don't you hate me?" ”

Zhang Baiqi shook his head with a wry smile, Zhang Baiqi arched his hand and said: "Xiao Taigong once said that the Taiping Dao will be defeated, and at that time, we were naturally not angry, but later in the battle of the Imperial City, my Taiping Dao army was defeated like a mountain, just as the little Taigong had expected before." In addition to admiring the little princess, how can we be resentful? When it was said that the little prince refused to serve the great sage and good teacher in order to protect himself, and he said wildly in public that he didn't want to see my Taiping Dao defeated, the little prince was full of hard work, how could we turn a blind eye? ”

Looking up to the sky and sighing, Guo Jia remembered Zhang Jiao again.

Great sage and good teacher, although you are not my Guo Jia's Bole in this life, your love for me makes me difficult to let go.

Removing the blade, Guo Jia turned around and handed the knife to Zhou Tai, personally helped Zhang Yan, Zhang Baiqi, Xu He, and Sima Ju up, and said to the four of them with a solemn expression: "Since you have come to serve, I, Guo Jia, am grateful, and I will do my best to let the children of Taiping Dao walk out of the mountains and forests and live and work in peace and contentment." ”

"Thank you, little princess!" The four of them thanked each other.

After the four of them got up, Guo Jia asked, "How many soldiers are there under your command now?" ”

Zhang Baiqi replied: "The Baibo army has a total of 200,000 soldiers and civilians, and 30,000 for each training capable army. ”

Sima Ju continued: "The Pinghan army has a total of 140,000 soldiers and civilians, and 30,000 capable troops. ”

Xu He also replied respectfully: "The White Ring Army has a total of 270,000 soldiers and civilians, and 40,000 capable troops. ”

Zhang Yan, who finally spoke up, clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "The Montenegrin Army has a total of 800,000 soldiers and civilians, and 250,000 capable troops. ”

In addition to Guo Jia, several other people, Xi Zhicai, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Xu Chu, and Dian Wei all widened their eyes, but they didn't expect that these four people together had more than 300,000 troops!

Only Guo Jia is not optimistic, the reason is very simple, first, these armies are very peculiar composition, the military and the people are one, who has ever heard of dragging the family out to fight? Not to mention that he also brought farming cattle and farm tools, listening to the large number of people, in fact, the soldiers had a lot of care in front of them, and their relatives in the rear dragged each other down. Second, it is still difficult for these armies to be self-sufficient, not to mention weapons and armor war horses, war horses are definitely not available, weapons and armor are also a minority, and they must still be broken and old.

Such an army goes to war? Moreover, it is difficult to guarantee the military discipline of the Yellow Turban Army, and the combat strength will have to be reduced by 30%.

After thinking about it carefully, Guo Jia was not optimistic about the more than 300,000 troops.

After pondering, Guo Jia raised his eyes and glanced at Zhang Yan and the four of them, and said, "I am about to go on a long trip, and I will be back in one month at the earliest, and I will be back in three months at the latest." You go back first and complete the following things, first, from now on, the soldiers will not be wrapped in yellow scarves on their heads, and the Taiping Dao soldiers are collectively referred to as the Taiping Army, and the bandit names of the four of you will no longer be used. Second, Zhang Baiqi, Xu He, Sima Ju, and the three of you were each transferred more than 20 from the army, and 5,000 soldiers under the age of 30 were handed over to Xu Chu, Dian Wei, and Zhou Tai respectively. Zhang Yan drew 30,000 from your subordinates, and Gan Ning, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun each received 10,000. Two months later, when you've done all these things, come back here and see me, and I'll make my own arrangements at that time. ”

The four of them looked at each other and then hugged their fists to receive their lives, but they didn't know Gan Ning and Zhou Tai, so Guo Jia called out Zhang Liao Gaoshun who was lying in the shadows, introduced each other, and after getting acquainted, Zhang Yan and the others gave their hands and said goodbye, turned over and got on the horse, and left in the dust.

Looking at Zhang Yan and others in the distance, Gan Ning, Xu Chu and others were naturally overjoyed, they had long been eager to lead the army to unify the army, and now that the opportunity has come, they are naturally happy.

"Fengxiao, seeing that you are sad, you don't seem to be happy." Xi Zhicai asked quietly.

Guo Jia nodded, turned to look at Gan Ning Zhou Tai, Xu Chu Dianwei, Zhang Liao Gaoshun and the six people, and said with a solemn face: "Everyone, if the four of them really vote for me, they will divide the troops and hand them over to you in two months, but, I hope you are prepared, this Yellow Turban Army should be called the Taiping Army now, the Taiping Army's combat strength is probably not optimistic, and it lacks weapons and armor, Jia does not ask you to make these tens of thousands of soldiers become elites, but I hope to be able to save the essence, Xu Chu, hand over to you 5,000 people, you can find 500 elite soldiers for me, I will be satisfied, and all the others, my request is the same, always remember this sentence: soldiers are not expensive! ”

Everyone restrained their smiles, and arched their hands towards Guo Jia and said, "We must remember it in our hearts." ”

Next, Guo Jia began to prepare for going to Jizhou, this time to Zhen's house, he planned to bring Xu Chu and Dian Wei openly, and secretly Xiao Ren and Xiao Yi would be answered, and Zhang Liao Gaoshun and Gan Ning Zhou Tai would stay behind.

Before leaving, Cai Yan recruited him into the house, and after Guo Jia entered, he picked her up and pressed her against the wall, and smiled against her soft delicate body: "Daughter-in-law, is your spring heart restless?" ”

Cai Yan raised a cold smile and forced Guo Jia to say, "I just want to remind you that if the Zhen family fails you, you can't be soft." ”

Guo Jia looked solemn, pinched her chin and sighed, "Do you want the Zhen family to bear me?" Or do you live up to me? ”

Slapping off Guo Jia's thin hand, Cai Yan said lightly: "Put away your villain's heart, I, Cai Yan, am not rare, not to mention that you are nothing now, competing for favor?" Joke! Do you think I'm going to be afraid of Miss Zhen? ”

Putting her down with a light sigh, Guo Jia shrugged his shoulders and said, "Daughter-in-law, you should know that if one day I really achieve hegemony, you will never be my wife." ”

"You think I care?"

Guo Jia walked out of the wooden house, and the words were already very clear, Cai Yan's wisdom understood the meaning of those words better than anyone else.

Small-scale family business, Guo Jia and she don't care, if Guo Jiaxiong dominates one side, Cai Yan will never be in power, even if it's just at home.
