"Father-in-law? This is the father-in-law of the chief? ”

In their own room, the black crows gathered in a circle, staring at the government wanted notice in the center in amazement, and the huge reward of 5,000 gold on the wanted list made them subconsciously hold their breath.

This wanted warrant for Zhang Jiao, a great virtuous and good teacher, was asked by Zhang Huang for Sun Jian yesterday. Although Sun Jian was a little confused at that time, he didn't deliberately ask. Perhaps in Sun Jian's view, Zhang Huang at most has a longing for Zhang Jiao, the leader of the Taiping Dao, which is not uncommon. You must know that there are many young heroes in the world who are dissatisfied with the current court and the world, and they all have a good impression of the Taiping Dao that saves the world and helps the people. If it weren't for his Sun Jian's loyalty to the Han family, he might also be one of them.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Zhang Huang asked him for this wanted warrant as a memorial because he admired the actions of Taiping Dao, or simply admired the great sage and mentor Zhang Jiao, a world-famous figure.

"Five...... 5,000 gold ......"

After staring at the wanted warrant for a long time, Li Tong suddenly rolled his eyes, and the whole person fell to the ground. This money-greedy ghost with a head full of money fainted excitedly, but fortunately, Tai Shici next to him had sharp eyes and held him up.

"This is really amazing...... ignoring Li Tong, who fainted from excitement, Zang Ba let out a tsk as he stared at the wanted warrant. You know, although he was distressed by the high reward of two thousand taels of silver on his back in words, in fact, he would inevitably not be a little complacent because of this. Think about it, after all, their black feather crow boss Zhang Huang only has a reward of fifty taels, and he, as a member, is burdened with a bounty of two thousand taels, what a face-saving thing! But now looking at this 5,000-gold bounty order, Zang Ba can't have the slightest pride left, his expression is sad, and he wants to stop talking.

There was also Shan Fu with a similar expression, he secretly looked at Zhang Huang's expression, and said secretly in his heart. This is really a big flood that washed down the Dragon King Temple, after all, a few days ago, they were still speculating vigorously about whether Taiping Dao had an ulterior purpose in accepting disciples and inviting people's hearts, and God knew that the leader of Taiping Dao was actually the father-in-law of their black feather crow leader Zhang Huang?

[So, we are actually a member of the Taiping Road?] ]

Shan Fu couldn't help but fantasize. In fact, they don't have a lot of hostile views on Taiping Dao, they can only say that they can analyze it objectively, after all, today's Han Dynasty is really difficult to convince, but if it is not necessary. They also don't want to be involved with Taiping Dao for no reason. But then again, if their Black Feather Crow leader, Zhang Huang, was indeed the righteous son of Zhang Jiao, the leader of the Taiping Dao, then that was another matter.

"Boss, what do you think?" After Chen Zhi was silent for a long time, he asked Zhang Huangdao. Chen Zhi's background is destined not to have too many feelings for the imperial court. Even this thought was true for the other members of the Black Feather Crow, after all, the court was too far away for them. They attach more importance to brotherhood, that is, righteousness.

Zhang Huang stared at Zhang Jiao's wanted warrant, silent, and didn't know how long it had been. Only then did he shake his head and say, "No, although it is, this person is not my stepfather......

"Isn't it?" Shan Fu looked at Zhang Huang in surprise. After all, it was said earlier that the portrait on this wanted warrant was his father-in-law, and it was also Zhang Huang.

"Hmm." Zhang Huang nodded, picked up the wanted warrant and put it in front of him, and said with a frown. "At first glance, I thought this was my stepfather, but when I think about it, it's not...... For more than ten years, my father-in-law has been meditating in a small temple in front of the waterfall in the mountain, except for eating and teaching me Taoism...... And this great sage and mentor Zhang Jiao, more than ten years ago, walked in Julu and Dongjun, using the art of living talismans to treat the people and recruit disciples...... The two are not the same person! ”

"Are you sure, Chief?" Zhang Huang's words made Shan Fu slightly stunned. In fact, most of the black feather crows also know about Zhang Huang: Zhang Huang, who is now sixteen years old, has been staying on a certain mountain before this to live with his father-in-law who took him in and raised him, and has never been involved in the world. It wasn't until the end of the year before last that Zhang Huang begged his father-in-law to let him go down the mountain to do some business, and then he got acquainted with Chen Zhi, Li Tong, Shan Fu, Zang Ba, and Tai Shici along the way.

"Hmm!" Zhang Huang nodded with a confident expression. Although Zhang Huang's appearance on the wanted portrait shocked Zhang Huang because he resembled his father-in-law, but after thinking about it carefully, Zhang Huang didn't think that his father-in-law was Zhang Jiao, the leader of Taiping Dao and a great sage and mentor. After all, Zhang Huang's father-in-law has been staying with Zhang Huang for more than ten years and has never left. In this case, where did his stepfather have time to go down the mountain to use the art of living talismans to heal the people and spread his fame? Thinking about it this way, the great virtuous teacher Zhang Jiao and Zhang Huang's father-in-law cannot be the same person at all.

[False alarm......]

Wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, Zhang Huang's heart was relieved and he let out a long breath.

Zhang Jiao, one of the 'three sages' of Taiping Dao, Zhang Huang is no stranger. Although they have never met and met, Zhang Huang has many deeds and evaluations about the 'Three Sages', that is, the three brothers of the Julu Zhang family.

For Zhang Jiao, Zhang Huang's evaluation of him is quite positive, after all, Zhang Jiao has never passed on any evil deeds in history, and his reputation in the eyes of the people of the world is excellent, and he can definitely be called a virtuous leader. But unfortunately, the real spiritual leader of the Taiping Dao and the Yellow Turban Army passed away too early, almost at the same time as the Yellow Turban Army uprising, this big man was sick and bedridden, and then died, so that the three major yellow turbans in the world at that time, the Yellow Turbans of Northern Hebei, the Yellow Turbans of Yingchuan, and the Yellow Turbans of Nanyang, were not able to unite the front and were broken by the Han Dynasty one by one. As a result, this uprising, which often involved nearly one million believers, was lost at the starting line before the battle to overthrow the Han Dynasty was officially started.

Compared with the positive evaluation of Zhang Jiao, Zhang Jiao's second brother Zhang Bao's impression in Zhang Huang's memory is purely negative, this unlearned ruffian scoundrel, purely through the fame of his brother Zhang Jiao, although he wandered between the Yingchuan Yellow Turban and the Nanyang Yellow Turban several times, but in the end nothing was accomplished, and the Yingchuan Yellow Turban and the Nanyang Yellow Turban and the Northern Hebei Yellow Turban led by their Zhang brothers joined forces, which can be said to be nothing.

And Zhang Jiao's third brother Zhang Liang, compared to Zhang Bao's evaluation is much better, it is rumored that Zhang Liang became the de facto helmsman of the Yellow Turban in Northern Hebei after Zhang Jiao's death, and once made the famous general who was responsible for encircling and suppressing the Yellow Turban in Northern Hebei, the great Confucian Lu Zhi fell into a bitter battle, and finally thanks to the other two court generals Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song quickly went north to support after solving the Yingchuan Yellow Turban and Nanyang Yellow Turban, and the three imperial soldiers and horses surrounded and suppressed together, which defeated Zhang Liang. I have to say. Zhang Liang is a general who is good at using soldiers. But unfortunately, his talent only ends here, instead of his brother Zhang Jiao at the helm of the Northern Hebei Yellow Turban, he actually cannot replace Zhang Jiao's position in the hearts of Taiping believers, it can only be said that Zhang Liang is at best a general who is good at using soldiers, not a spiritual leader.

The spiritual leader of Taiping Dao is only the great virtuous teacher Zhang Jiao, and only the great virtuous teacher Zhang Jiao!

Thinking of this, Zhang Huang really breathed a sigh of relief. After all, in his memory, the uprising of the Yellow Turban Army was doomed to failure, it was only the beginning of the later struggle for hegemony, if his father-in-law was really a great sage and good teacher Zhang Jiao, it was enough for him to have a headache. Fortunately, all kinds of signs proved that Zhang Huang's father-in-law and the great teacher Zhang Jiao were not the same person, which allowed Zhang Huang to avoid the doom of being implicated, after all, his ambition was only a great hero who was heard in the world, but he never thought of being an enemy of the entire Han court.

[I will have a chance to try to inquire about Taiping Road in the future.] Although the father-in-law cannot be a great sage and good teacher, Zhang Jiao......]

Zhang Huang carefully put the wanted warrant of Zhang Jiao into his arms, although he was sure that his stepfather and Zhang Jiao were two people, but the two looked very similar. But Zhang Huang is not allowed not to have a different mind.

[Could it be that the father-in-law is the other two of the three Zhang brothers who are not famous at this time?] Or is it the same brother of the three brothers of the stepfather, Zhang? …… Unfortunately, if I knew my father's name, it would be easy to look up......]

Zhang Huang scratched his head in annoyance, suddenly. He was slightly stunned.

[Wait for a while...... The name of the father-in-law seems to have been heard at some point...... Well, it's not a horn. It's not a 'treasure' or a 'beam'...... What is it, and what is the name of the Father......]

Zhang Huang couldn't help but meditate, he vaguely remembered that he had heard his father-in-law's name, but he didn't pay attention to it because he was young at the time. Who knew that his stepfather would not reveal it at all as if he wanted to keep it a secret!

Probably noticing the worry on Zhang Huang's face, Shan Fu chuckled and comforted, "Chief, when the battle in front of us is over, why don't we go to Dongjun, Chenliu, and Yingchuan to investigate?" Xiaosheng heard that there are a lot of people from Taiping Road in Dongjun recently......"

"That's what the military advisor said." Zang Ba and Tai Shici also nodded in agreement, after all, anyone could see the concerns on Zhang Huang's face. Anyway, they didn't have any special places they wanted to go, so it was better to go to Dongjun together to inquire, after all, they had already identified the black feather crow as a place to live, so that the origin of the leader Zhang Huang actually had a relationship with them that was both prosperous and lost.

Li Tong didn't know when he woke up, and said with a smile when he heard the words, "If it is confirmed that the great sage and good teacher Zhang Jiao is not the father-in-law of the boss, the brothers will not object to me doing a big deal of 5,000 gold, right?" ”

This money-greedy ghost with a head full of money actually wants to pocket the 5,000 gold wanted by Zhang Jiao? That's the spiritual leader of nearly a million Taiping Dao and Yellow Turban Army believers!

"......" was shocked by Li Tong's shocking words, and the black feather crows looked at Li Tong as if his eyes had turned into copper coin prints, and then burst into laughter, even Zhang Huang, who was preoccupied, couldn't help laughing.

"That 5,000 gold is not good to make ......"

"With the strength of my brothers now...... Difficult! It's hard to climb! ”

"That's right! Money fans, you don't want to die yourself, don't put all our brothers in it! ”

"You're crazy, aren't you? That's the leader of the Taiping Dao, people can drown you alive with a single spit, and thousands of Taiping Dao believers can drown you alive with a mouthful of spit, just like you, still want to earn this money? If you want to die, don't drag us! ”

Zang Ba, Chen Dao, Tai Shici, and Shan Fu shook their heads one after another, none of them were optimistic about Li Tong's construction, thinking about it, Taiping Dao is currently the largest non-imperial court force in the world, compared to this behemoth, the black feather crow can only be said to be a small boat in the vast sea, and people can sink this small boat with a random wind and waves.

"I'm just talking about it, and I'm not going to let me say it?" Li Tong said wistfully, thinking that although he was greedy for money, he had not yet reached the blind point and knew how to analyze the strength of the enemy and me.

Zhang Huang chuckled and watched a group of brothers playing there, and suddenly, the door of the house was pushed open with a creak, and Xu Kun, who had a few acquaintances with Zhang Huang, pushed the door and walked in, and said with a smile. "Yo, it's all there! I happen to have something to tell you here......"

Xu Kun, that is the general of the Danyang soldiers in charge of thousands of soldiers, and his status is higher than that of Chen Qi, the direct official general of Zhang Huang and others, and this person is also Sun Jian's nephew, the eldest son of the Xu family in Fuchun County, Wu County, this kind of amazing identity makes Zhang Huang and others feel no less nervous and restrained when facing this than when facing Sun Jian.

"General Xu, why are you here?" The black feather crows belong to Zhang Huang and Xu Kun have the deepest contact. And Zhang Huang is also the leader of the Black Feather Crow, so it is understandable that Zhang Huang took the lead in introducing the Black Feather Crow to everyone.

"It's not the rebels who made trouble." Xu Kun didn't care about the simplicity of the house, pulled over a chair and sat down backwards, leaned on the back of the chair with his chin on his hands, looked at the black feather crows in the room, and said angrily, "Do you know what those turtle grandsons in Ren Wujuntun are doing?" ”

Except for Zhang Huang, the rest of the Black Feather Crows shook their heads with some restraint. Although after Zhang Huang's explanation. Everyone learned that the arrogance of the Danyang soldiers had nothing to do with this Danyang soldier general, but they still instinctively resisted Xu Kun's identity as a thousand Danyang soldiers. Thinking about Xu Kun, he is also quite wronged, you must know that whether it is Sun Jian or him, they actually have the intention to restrain the Danyang soldiers. It's just that the proud Danyang soldiers didn't take the Guangling army and the rebels into their eyes at all because of the successive battles in the past few days, how could Xu Kun be restrained by a few words? But when it comes to the fundamentals, I'm afraid it's because the bigwigs in the army haven't made up their minds to restrain the Danyang soldiers. After all, as far as the current situation is concerned, the Danyang soldiers are their only choice to deal with the rebels, if they force the group of proud Danyang soldiers to riot. In this battle, I am afraid it is difficult to say whether the victory or defeat will be said.

Maybe this is the so-called focusing on the overall situation, in the case that the rebels have not been wiped out, it seems that the assassin Shi Zangmin, the general of the Guangling army Yang Qi, or Sun Jian and Xu Kun, are not too good to stimulate the Danyang soldiers, and even, even if Danyang guards Xu Kun too much, he does not dare, after all, the Danyang soldiers are strong, but they are also well-known in the world for not obeying discipline. And the Taishou Xu Kun and the general Xu Kun are not Danyang natives after all, and they can't make the Danyang soldiers obey unconditionally 100% without such a layer of hometown relations.

"Ren Wujuntun? Where the rebel commander Shen Ying is now in Ren Wujuntun? What's wrong with them? Shan Fu asked suspiciously.

In fact, for Ren Wujuntun, anyone who is in Zhujiazhen at this time will not feel unfamiliar, after all, Zhujiazhen is only more than 20 miles away from Ren Wujuntun, maybe when there will be a fierce battle, Shan Fu is puzzled, is the reason why Xu Kun said this.

"Don't you know?" Xu Kun glanced around at everyone with a smile, then his face changed slightly, and he gritted his teeth and scolded, "I also found out this morning." Do you know that Shen Xing's turtle grandson is actually reinforcing the defensive facilities of Ren Wujuntun......"

[What's so surprising about this?] ]

Shan Fu muttered in his heart, and suddenly he was stunned, and asked in surprise, "What does General Xu mean is that the rebels are going to hold on?" ”

Xu Kun glanced at Shan Fu approvingly, gritted his teeth and scolded, "Isn't it! Shen Xing's turtle son didn't know what he had eaten wrong, he just didn't want to withdraw his troops properly, and, judging from his actions as the fifth army tun, most of them would not fight with us head-to-head...... That turtle grandson seems to have made up his mind to be a shrunken turtle! ”

"What's in it for the rebels?" Zhang Huang looked puzzled.

You must know that because there is a relationship between the fierce general Sun Jian and the strong Danyang Army on the side of Guangling County, the rebels can be said to be in the general trend, but even so it cannot be ruled out that the rebels have the possibility of counterattack, after all, the rebels in the garrison of the Fifth Army still have a huge number of more than 30,000, as long as they find a way to drag Sun Jian, the rebels are not without the possibility of winning the battlefield. However, the rebel commander Shen Xing chose to hold on. As long as the Guangling County side stays in Zhujia Town and gains a firm foothold, it will return to the rear of Ren Wujuntun, build a camp there, and cut off the back road of the rebels, even if the rebels still have more than 30,000 troops at the moment, I am afraid they will be trapped and die here. Therefore, Zhang Huang was very puzzled about the purpose of the rebel commander Shen Xing, who would put his 30,000 rebels in such a dangerous place.

"Isn't it a trick of the rebels to lure the enemy?" Under the surprised gazes of Xu Kun, Zhang Huang, and Shan Fu, Zang Ba thought for a while, and said in a deep voice, "It may be that the rebels learned that our current combat strength is only 5,000 Danyang soldiers, so they deliberately made a defensive posture and lured our Danyang soldiers to divide their troops to cut off their rear. You think, there were only 5,000 Danyang soldiers in the first place, but if they were divided into two, there would only be more than 2,000 people in both places, and even if General Sun was in charge in this case, I am afraid it would not be enough to defeat the rebels...... I think the rebels are planning to slowly encroach on our Danyang soldiers! ”

"Clever! It seems that there are a lot of black feather crows! Xu Kun praised with a smile, then nodded and said, "Uncle...... Ahem, General Sun also thinks so, so he refused to divide the Danyang army, but asked Uncle Cheng to take the three hundred Red Silk Army back to the rear of the rebels' Ren Wujun Tun, waiting for an opportunity to move, with the purpose of plundering the rebels' grain and grass transportation......"

[No wonder I haven't seen Uncle Cheng in the past two days......]

The black crows suddenly realized.

It is undeniable that this is a good way, after all, in this way, the Danyang soldiers do not need to risk being swallowed up by the rebels, but on the other hand, if the rebels choose to withdraw their troops, Cheng Pu's only 300-strong Red Army will not be able to do anything.

"Since General Sun has already made a decision,......" Zhang Huang glanced at Xu Kun suspiciously, and couldn't help asking, "I don't know if General Xu came here today, what advice do you have?" ”

Xu Kun smiled when he heard this, and suddenly leaned his head closer.

"Do you dare...... Come with me tonight to the Fifth Army Tun to find out, and by the way, bring back the head of the rebel commander Shen Xing? (To be continued......)
