When the military camp returned to the garrison of the large army, Liu Tai's original small team of three people had now increased to six, among which Zheng Yuan was impressively listed, and now that Zheng Yuan had been exposed to people, there was no need to hide it for the time being. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info such as today's military camp is stationed in the north of Pingxian more than ten miles, because there is a mountain range in the middle, so it has not been discovered by the Pingxian coalition army for the time being, but everyone believes that the time for the battle is not far away.

Long before leaving, Liu Tai had already made a plan with Guo Jia and other strategists, the most important part of which was to avoid being discovered by the Pingxian coalition army, and if it was found, then let the Xuzhou soldiers step forward to take up the post and temporarily stabilize the coalition scouts.

At this moment, the Tianci Army and the Xuzhou soldiers in the barracks are divided into two groups, the Xuzhou soldiers are stationed on the periphery and are responsible for reconnoitering the surrounding situation at the same time, while the Tianci Army is stationed inside, minimizing going out and temporarily handing over some necessary things to the Xuzhou soldiers to deal with.

Someone here will ask, what if the general of the Xuzhou soldiers violates Yang Fengyin and secretly informs the guards in Pingxian County? This is easy to solve! In fact, today's Xuzhou soldiers seem to have no problems with generals at all levels on the surface, but in fact, most of the Xuzhou generals have been replaced!

Since ancient times, it has been taboo to change generals in the future, but fortunately, Liu Tai has Tao Qian's trump card in his hand, and now Tao Qian has accepted his fate, so do you still need to worry about the mutiny below? In fact, the most critical person to control the Xuzhou soldiers is not Tao Qian, but Tao Qian's subordinate Cao Bao!

Cao Bao is a Xuzhou soldier Cao, a high and powerful position, has always been deeply trusted by Tao Qian, most of the Xuzhou soldiers have been in the hands of Cao Bao, although Cao Bao is a little greedy for life and afraid of death, and the martial arts are not good, but the training of soldiers does have a hand, Tao Qian's Danyang soldiers, Cao Bao is responsible for training.

Tao Qian's hometown is Danyang County, since ancient times Danyang has been a soldier in the world, as a local in Danyang, how could Tao Qian let go of such a good source of soldiers? In the early years, Tao Qian was recruited by the imperial court as a frontier general, Tao Qian knew that the political situation of the imperial court was turbulent, and the military discipline of the frontier soldiers was extremely bad, and if you wanted to make a name for yourself in that situation at that time, you must have an elite army!

But the question is, how could Tao Qian, a young frontier general, be qualified to recruit private soldiers at that time? This is a capital offense! Well, in the final analysis, this is thanks to the turbulent political situation, as the saying goes, heroes come out of troubled times, Tao Qian was born in a scholar family, with the ability of the family, it is not difficult to buy off the powerful ministers at that time, but it is just some private soldiers, as long as the upper authorities allow it, everything will not fall into place?

With the strength of the Danyang soldiers, Tao Qian only stepped forward to the peak of the political power of the Han Dynasty in just a dozen years, and then he was sitting in a state, with an army of more than 100,000 people, becoming one of the rare princes in the early Han Dynasty.

Of course, Tao Qian's career path has a lot of expulsions, a strong Danyang infantry army, but it's not a problem if the people are all together, but also training, and all kinds of streamlining, among them, Cao Bao's ability is reflected! Cao Bao is Tao Qian's earliest general, has been serving by Tao Qian's side, and can be described as loyal to Tao Qian.

In the official history, Tao Qian left a legacy after his death, and Xuzhou was peacefully transferred to Liu Bei, and in order to allow Liu Bei to sit firmly in his position, and in order to complete the last wish of the old master Tao Qian, although Cao Bao was a little complaining, he still faithfully pursued his duties, but sometimes disaster fell from the sky, although Cao Bao wanted to be safe, but the big-eared thief would let Cao Bao, who held a lot of power, be safe?

Of course, no one has the ability to fully grasp the real history, for example, whether Cao Bao's death was Zhang Fei's own initiative, or Liu Bei's special order, no one knows, but there is one thing that cannot be argued, Cao Bao's ability is there, very good, although he is not a general, but there is no problem with being a leader!

Liu Tai did not snub Cao Bao because of history's evaluation of Cao Bao, but chose to trust Cao Bao, very simply, Liu Tai appointed Cao Bao as the commander of the Xuzhou army regardless of his previous suspicions, and gave Cao Bao enough power to allow Cao Bao to mobilize soldiers and horses without notification, well, this can be regarded as buying people's hearts, after all, buying people's hearts as Liu Tai can be said to be a catch.

It is worth mentioning that Liu Tai did not completely hand over everything to Cao Bao, and there were also some restrictions on Cao Bao, for example, although Cao Bao could transfer Xuzhou soldiers without notification, he must draw up a certain charter and allocate food or weapons from Liu Tai's hands, otherwise, the Xuzhou soldiers who have no food and no military rights, even if Cao Bao is transferred, what is the point? Is it possible to surrender to the coalition forces?

The current situation, even a fool will not choose like this, you know, the princes on the south bank of the Yellow River are retreating one after another, and Heyin is falling into the hands of the Tianci army in just a few days, Heyin is lost, and the western gateway of Pingxian County is opened, as long as Liu Tai is patient, then he can wait for Zhang Fei to lead the army to come to the division, and then the coalition army of less than 100,000 in Pingxian County is the opponent of the Tianci army?

The Chinese army's big tent has always been exclusive to Liu Tai's various royal tents are extremely luxurious, most of the royal tents are mainly yellow, supplemented by purple, and all kinds of exquisite and luxurious fabrics are woven into a gorgeous mobile palace, but Liu Tai once said with a smile that such an obvious royal tent is indeed a good target for the enemy. Of course, this is just a joke, Liu Tai did not order the replacement, it seems that Liu Tai's essence is still extremely extravagant.

At this time, there are not many people inside the royal tent covering an area of more than 100 square meters, Liu Tai sits on top of the gorgeous golden king's collapse, and there are three or four people sitting in two rows at the lower head, Zheng Yuan is the main one on the left, Zheng Yuan is Liu Tai's personal bodyguard, and he is an important minister in northern Xinjiang, so he can naturally sit in the first place, and after Zheng Yuan is Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, these two super think tanks, and Huang Zhong, Guan Yu and others.

The right head is dominated by Nanhua Dao people, and the Yuankong monk sits at the bottom of the Nanhua Dao people, although the Yuankong monk is a little dissatisfied with the Nanhua Dao people sitting in the front position, but who is called the Nanhua Dao people are from the Middle Earth, and the Yuankong monks are foreigners? For a long time, the Chinese people of China in China have greatly looked down on people from foreign countries, even if the monk Yuankong is a master of the world.

The most important thing is that the Nanhua Dao people are not weaker than the Yuankong monks in any way, and even the prestige in Middle-earth is far more than that of the Yuankong monks, although there is a bit of stigma in it, but as long as Liu Tai accepts the Nanhua Dao people, then there is no problem with everything!

"Your Highness, the old man is a person outside the world, but he has always been extremely greedy for the old white dry brewed by His Royal Highness, the old man can make a vow, if there is a void in this life, then before breaking through, you must drink a cup of the old white dry brewed by His Royal Highness." Smashing his mouth, Nanhua Daoist said with an intoxicated voice. At this time, the old white gan in the wine glass in the hands of the Nanhua Dao people was specially used by Liu Tai himself, and the number was very limited every year.

Although Liu Tai himself is not short of wine, and there is no shortage of food for brewing wine, but as the saying goes, scarcity is expensive, if there is no limit to the number of this special Lao Baigan for Liu Tai, then it won't be long before Liu Tai will lose interest in this novel liquor, right?

"Haha" shook his head and laughed for a while, everyone present was also infected by the approachable temperament of Nanhua Dao people, just because of the words of Nanhua Dao people, the originally suffocating atmosphere in the field was relieved, among them, Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai, the two top strategists, looked at Nanhua Dao people with a bit of a feeling of impressing, these two smart people, I really can't understand how Nanhua Dao people, such a famous big man, can talk so well?

"The Taoist wants to drink, and the widow is naturally willing to brew it for the Taoist himself, but over the years, the widow has been busy with affairs, and his craftsmanship has fallen a lot, so don't blame the widow when the time comes." Seeing that the people of Nanhua Dao are so "empathetic" and relieve the frozen atmosphere in the tent, why didn't Liu Tai give some face? But the craftsmanship, to be honest, Liu Tai is really a little watery compared to the master of Kyushu Commercial Bank who specializes in brewing Lao Baigan.

Even in this era, Lao Baigan was "invented" by Liu Tai himself

"It's okay, it's okay, it's old, it's not like some people, their throats are about to jump out, and they don't dare to drink a sip for any door rules." Nanhua Daoist looked at Liu Tai with a smile and said in a pointed voice.

Hearing this, everyone's eyes in the tent were on the Yuankong monk, and at this time, only the Yuankong monk was still full of wine in the wine glass, and when he felt everyone's eyes, the Yuankong monk suddenly turned red! Monk Yuankong wanted to take a sip of the wine, and the rich aroma really made Monk Yuankong a little unbearable.

But the problem is that the rules of Buddhism are deeply rooted in the hearts of the Yuankong monks, and if they break the precepts of more than ten years because of a glass of wine, it is really not worth it, at least at this moment, the Yuankong monks think so.

"You!!" The red-faced Yuankong monk stared at the Nanhua Dao people, a little bit of a sense of asking the teacher, but the Yuankong monk did not exude any special momentum, after all, the venue at this time was different, if the Yuankong monk really dared to attack the Nanhua Dao people, then

"What am I? The old man's Daomen has no precepts, you can drink whatever you want, you can eat whatever you want, if the old bald donkey you are willing, the old man is willing to extradite the Daomen for you, not only the bald donkey, what do you think? "The dirty blood stains on the original body of Nanhua Dao people have already been dealt with, and the white baby face at this time, with the sentences spit out of his mouth, is really a bit embarrassing.

"Okay, okay, the two masters don't have to fight anymore, the widow still wants to talk to the two masters about business." Funny waved his hand, as the landlord here, Liu Tai has the right to speak out to stop it, and the Nanhua Daoist and Yuankong monks don't dare not give Liu Tai this face.

"Humph!" Monk Yuankong glanced at the Nanhua Daoist with resentment, to be honest, the Yuankong monk really didn't understand why the Nanhua Daoist was so embarrassed by himself, was it because of his Buddhist identity? But this doesn't make sense, Buddhism seems to be more than just Yuankong monks, right?

Treating the resentful gaze of the Yuankong monk, the Nanhua Dao people didn't seem to think of it at all, and raised the wine glass to drink it with a look of enjoyment. To be honest, there is a reason why the people of Nanhua Dao are dissatisfied with the Yuankong monk.

What is the reason? Because Nanhua Daoist is a thorough defender!!

What is a vanalyst? That is the abbreviation of a character who is extremely defensive of Taoist culture. Nanhua Daoist people have always been committed to preaching Taoist civilization, more than ten years ago the simplified version of Taiping Qingling Road was handed over to Zhang Jiao for the development of Taoism, but Nanhua Daoist people did not expect that because of that mere volume of Taiping Tianshu, caused the most terrifying yellow uprising in history

Of course, now Nanhua Dao people understand and clearly see the consequences, but sometimes even if they see it, what can they do? Although the people of Nanhua Dao have the heart to turn the tide, the trend of history is not something that the people of Nanhua Dao can change.

In order to save the reputation of Taoism lost due to Zhang Jiao, the Nanhua Daoists set their sights on Buddhism, after all, the intentions of Buddhism are understood by most high-level figures, but the question is, how can Nanhua Taoists allow Buddhism to seize the territory of Taoism in Middle-earth?

In fact, the prestige of Taoism has not lost much because of Zhang Jiao, and the biggest credit is in the ancestral religion founded by Liu Tai, the ancestral religion believes in the gods and Taoism are almost the same, and there is nothing prominent, and those myths and stories with the power of the gods are no different from Taoism, and the Taoist ancestor Lao Tzu is the ancestor of the ancestral religion, but on top of Lao Tzu, three human ancestors are added

Since ancient times, Taoism has not had a unified organization, very loose, Taoism is also the development of its own, there is no intersection, which is really unfavorable to the development of a huge faith organization, and the emergence of ancestral religion, the perfect solution to the problem of Taoism, in fact, most of the time, ancestral religion is regarded as the new Taoism, the most important thing is that the older generation of Taoist masters also agree with this point of view, after all, ancestral religion and Taoism in addition to the name of the difference, the gods and myths preached are not different.

It is worth mentioning that in recent years, due to the widespread spread of faith in China by the ancestral religion, temples serving the ancestral immortals have sprung up in various counties and counties, although many of these temples are built on the territory of other princes, but before most of the temples are established, they must be recognized by the head church of Huacheng, and the management of the general church of Huacheng is carried out by the general teaching of Huacheng, so that although the scale of the ancestral religion is large, there is no problem in management. It is ten million times better than the loose organizational discipline of Taoism.

In fact, the management method of the ancestral religion is very similar to that of Western Catholicism, with clergy at all levels, among which Liu Tai is the supreme pope, who has all the powers of the ancestral religion, and can arbitrarily appoint and dismiss all clergy and the corresponding rewards and punishments.

Under Liu Tai, there are three chief archbishops, the chief archbishop is mainly responsible for the management of the Huacheng Ancestral Church, with power second only to Liu Tai, responsible for the operation of the ancestral church and the allocation of money and food donated by the people, the appointment and dismissal of diocesan administrators in various places, and some ordinary trivial matters.

There are more than three archbishops in the Hwaseong Ancestral Church, after all, the scale of the Ancestral Church is too large today, how can it be enough if there are only three administrators? There are 12 senatorial bishops under the chief archbishop, and most of the senators and bishops are bishops with great merit in various places, but there are special circumstances, that is, senior officials are directly sent by Liu Tai to the management of the ancestral religion, and at present, the management of the ancestral religion in Huacheng is mostly directly appointed and dismissed by Liu Tai.

The Archdiocese of Huacheng is the highest level of church in the entire Chinese region, in order to facilitate management, and in order to promote the faith of the ancestral religion as much as possible, Liu Tai set up state religions in the major states of the world, the management model of the state religion is actually not much different from the archbishop, there are three archbishops, and there are twelve parliamentary bishops under the archbishop, but it is worth mentioning that most of these parliamentary bishops are elected by the squires of the local state and county, after all, the ancestral religion is a place where the surname is free to spread the faith, if you blindly manage by force, It's easy to get into a variety of situations.

Under the state religion, there are also county teachers and county teachers, and the management model of county education and county towns is the same, the top management personnel are reduced from three to two, and the same is responsible for the twelve, these auxiliary personnel have their own names, and most of them are selected from the people who sincerely believe in the ancestral gods.

Each bishop has two votes, one vote for the auxiliary bishop, and the sum of the county church and the county church is sixteen votes.

The state religion and religion above the county religion are large in scale, so the number of votes has been expanded to eighteen votes, so if you want to pass a certain plan, you must get ten votes or more votes, then it is more difficult, it can be seen from this that Liu Tai treats the restrictions on the exercise of power by the clergy, Liu Tai, who has the soul of the future, knows very well the bad consequences that the clergy will bring if they use their power for personal gain, Liu Tai does not want and does not allow this to happen!

Under various bishops and auxiliary bishops, there are also priests (equal to nuns), ecclesiastical leaders (leading the people to believe in ancestral religion), teaching and reading (spreading myths and stories) and other personnel, these personnel are the lowest level of the ancestral religion, and the appointment and dismissal are mostly responsible for the local bishops, in fact, they are not the official teaching staff of the ancestral religion, of course, they have paid hard work and body and mind, and naturally there is a certain reward, and the income is not low, and they can receive the equivalent of the middle-class personnel at that time every year.

In fact, the main personnel who maintain the operation of the ancestral religion are not these bishops and archbishops, what really matters is the clergy who spread the doctrine, these personnel were named preachers by Liu Tai, the number of preachers is very large, almost the main components of the church in each region, the preachers are mostly the most devout believers, there is no money, but you can get a lot of special treatment from the local government, of course, because there is no money, most of the preachers are part-time

The main task of the preacher is to spread the faith of the ancestral religion, each preacher has a special certification, if he does not get the preacher certification, wantonly bewitching the local people to do certain things, he will be punished by the government, well, there is actually a problem here, that is, Liu Tai has not unified the world now, even if some preachers do something out of the ordinary, as long as the preacher himself is not in the northern Xinjiang, it will be difficult to manage, and in order to make up for this situation, the high-level clergy of the ancestral religion are eager to say that Liu Tai can rule the world as soon as possible, Establish a sound religious management system.
