As soon as Deng Zitao said this, Chu He couldn't help frowning and groaning.

He still didn't know what Zhang Jiao's idea was.

A few days ago, just as Chu He was about to lead the army to set off, Zhang Jiao suddenly sent someone to ask for a meeting with Chu He, bringing a news that surprised Chu He extremely much.

Zhang Jiao actually told Chu He that his relatives were coming, and he wanted to marry Zhang Ning Xu to Chu He, and the bargaining chips he paid were difficult for Chu He to refuse.

Zhang Jiao's decision put Chu He in a dilemma.

Zhang Jiao's use of Yang Mou, he and Chu He both knew that Zhang Ning's status in the Yellow Turban Army was even much more important than Meng Qingtong's position in the Southern Barbarian Army.

Meng Qingtong is just the daughter of the Southern Barbarian King in the final analysis, she has no authority in the army, and her own cultivation is very low, even under the full cultivation of Chu He, she is now worthy of the four-grade realm.

For ordinary people, a fourth-grade powerhouse in his early twenties is already extremely difficult, especially Meng Qingtong still has a talent for bravery, but compared to Zhang Ning, it is far behind.

Zhang Ning is the No. 2 person in the Yellow Turban Army, as the saintess of the Yellow Turban Dao, she has an extremely amazing appeal, it is no exaggeration to say that if Zhang Ning ascends to the top, he can even pull away a third of the Yellow Turban Sect to start anew.

Moreover, Zhang Ning himself is a six-rank peak powerhouse, his spiritual attributes have reached the limit of the six-grade, plus the Tianluo Divine Network in his hand, his combat power is comparable to that of a seven-grade national soldier, and he is still at the top of the hidden dragon list.

Such a place in Kyushu has an extremely loud reputation, and is known as the Yellow Turban Holy Maiden who is the first person under the Seven Grades, and naturally she can't help but make her own decisions about marriage, unless she is willing to give up the Yellow Turban Dao, and political marriage is the inevitable result.

Zhang Jiao married Zhang Ningxu to Chu He, naturally he had other plans, and both sides understood this very well.

The reason why it is said that the Chu River is in a dilemma is because of this.

The benefits of marrying Zhang Ning are unusually huge.

Not to mention Zhang Ning's own strength, just the huge fame impact brought by marrying Chu He is extremely amazing, as long as Chu He and Zhang Ning marry, the name can spread all over Kyushu in a short time, bringing extremely amazing luck to Chu He.

Moreover, now the Changding Army is in the same formation as the Yellow Turban Army on the surface, but it is an indisputable fact that the Yellow Turban Army once invaded Fenglai and Datong counties on a large scale, and it must have left a thorn in the hearts of both sides.

As long as he marries Zhang Ning, this obstacle can disappear, and it will be much easier for Chu He to annex the Yellow Turban Army in the future.

Not to mention, Zhang Jiao, who has been a human being in two lifetimes, has a very thorough understanding of people's hearts, and has also paid benefits that Chu He can hardly refuse.

The Yellow Turban Army is located in a large territory in the northeast of Qinzhou, and there is Turin County in the southwest of Baozhou as a dowry, as long as Chu He agrees, the territory of Tianshui County can be extended to the northeast of Qinzhou and the land of Baozhou, and the land of southern Xinjiang that it occupies now can be cultivated into a piece, and the territory can even be expanded by two times!

The second dowry agreement was something that Chu He could not refuse, and it was a thousand alchemy alchemists.

Zhang Jiao knew that Chu He was the lifeblood of steel, even if he gave it to the Chu River blacksmith, Chu He would never accept it, lest Zhang Jiao try to get the secret of steelmaking, but the alchemy alchemist was different.

The pill is definitely one of the great defects of the Changding Army, Chu He's refining of the Golden Bell Jar Dan Fang requires personal efforts in many places, and the refining quantity of other elixirs is extremely low, and it must be obtained from the Southern Barbarian Army and others.

The pill is one of the important means for the elite generals to improve their strength, and it is indispensable, Chu He started late, and these talents have long been looted by the anti-Shu coalition army, and a small number of alchemy alchemists are still people from the former demon army and Jiangwu Village.

Now the Changding Army is a little lacking in pills, not to mention the increase in troops and the expansion of territory in the future, and the gap in demand for pills will be even greater.

Zhang Jiao's thousand squares can be regarded as a charcoal in the snow, as long as they can be subdued for their own use, they can greatly reduce the pressure on the demand for pills on the Changding army.

Zhang Jiao's conspiracy made it difficult for Chu He to refuse.

But the Yellow Turban Army paid such a huge price, and what they asked for was of course extremely amazing, which was not proportional to the dowry paid by Chu He, so they must have other plans.

No matter what Ren Chuhe thought, he would not have expected Zhang Jiao to guess that he knew the Nine Qualities of the Tao Te Ching, and he came for the Tao Te Ching.

The only one who knows the Tao Te Ching is Wu Mei'er, if it weren't for the Tao Te Ching, Wu Mei'er would not have become a five-grade scholar at the age of twelve or thirteen.

This is also the biggest confidence for Wu Meier and Meng Qingtong to compete with each other, if Chu He didn't regard her as his own family, how could he teach her the Tao Te Ching.

Even Zheng Xuan, a national soldier, was shocked by Wu Meier's qualifications and personally taught Wu Meier Wendao!

Of course, Wu Mei'er knew the severity, and would never reveal half a sentence to outsiders, even the master Jing Xiong and the great master Zheng Xuan didn't know this.

Zhang Jiao is by no means a fortune boy, before he figured out Zhang Jiao's thoughts, no matter how great the benefits of marrying Zhang Ning were, Chu He had to think twice about it, and he didn't agree easily.

At the very least, if Chu He really accepted Zhang Jiao's territory, and Tianshui County's territory expanded to the northeast, it would cut off the connection between the Southern Barbarian Army and the southern frontier in the rear, and only a narrow strip could lead to Qinzhou City.

Once the Changding army and the Southern Barbarian Army are at odds, the Changding Army can quickly cut off the connection between the Southern Barbarian Army and the rear, even if Chu He is Meng Huo's son-in-law, Meng Huo will never sit idly by.

Zhang Jiao was clearly pulling out the thorn in the heart between the Yellow Turban Army and the Changding Army, and at the same time, he also planted a sharp thorn between the Changding Army and the Southern Barbarian Army.

Meng Shu refused to cut off his retreat with the Changding army, so how could Chu He be willing to give up the opportunity to expand his territory?

Chu He did not continue to dwell on this issue, since it was Zhang Jiao's trick, he must have managed to get himself into the game, and the more anxious Zhang Jiao was to succeed, the easier it would be to show his feet.

At this time, Chu He didn't know how big Zhang Jiao's plan was, and he could wait for decades or even hundreds of years!

Deng Zitao told Chu He about Yin Xiu again: "My lord, the Yizhou army knows about Yin Xiu, and will definitely try to get the Yin family to contact the last general, how should the last general deal with it?"

Deng Zitao didn't know the true relationship between Chu He and Yin Xiu, so he naturally needed to ask clearly, so as not to cause any trouble.

"Ben Shuai has nothing else to do with Yin Xiu, he just sent her to Yizhou by the way. However, there is no need to explain this matter to the Yizhou army. ”

Chu He retracted his thoughts and pondered for a moment before saying: "The price of 40,000 sets of steel soldiers is indeed a bit high, even if the Yizhou Army has collected a lot of money and silver materials during this time, it is not easy to take down 10,000 sets of steel soldiers." ”

"Yonghong is likely to ask the Yin family to come forward and discuss the transaction of military armor. ”

Chu He's eyes flashed slightly: "You have already seen Yin Deng and Yin Gao, they can be accomplished?"

Although Deng Zitao does not have the same heavenly eyes as Chu He, as a four-rank peak martial artist, of course he has eyesight: "Yin Deng's qualifications are average, but Yin Gao should be okay, civil and military practitioners, all of them are in the three-grade realm, with his current age and the resources of the Yin family, it is indeed rare." ”

He paused slightly, and then asked a little strangely: "Why did the lord suddenly ask about the qualifications of the two of them? Could it be that the lord wants to support them?"

Chu He nodded: "Not bad!"

"According to my judgment, whether it is the Southern Barbarian Army, the Yellow Turban Army, or the Three-State Coalition Army, in the end, they will not be able to compete with the Shu Army. ”

"The inability to cooperate with each other among the anti-Shu armies was the most important reason for their defeat. Our Changding army must gather their strength in a short period of time when the anti-Shu coalition army is defeated, and it is necessary to plant nails in the Yizhou army. ”

The Southern Barbarian Army has Meng Qingtong, the Yellow Turban Army is there, and when necessary, Chu He can also use Zhang Ning's power to contain the Yellow Turban Army.

Only the three-state coalition army, the Changding army did not have any foreshadowing or internal response, and it was by no means easy to seize the short-term opportunity to subdue the three-state coalition army when the three-state coalition army was defeated.

The Standing Army must let the Shu Army destroy the establishment of the Three-State Coalition Army, and at the same time, it must not let the Three-State Coalition Army suffer too many casualties, and how to grasp this degree is naturally extremely difficult.

Chu He's brows furrowed again: "The Yin family doesn't have any foundation in Yizhou, so they can only rely on our Changding army, but how to support them to grow stronger has to be carefully studied." ”

Deng Zitao pondered for a moment: "If the Yin family and the last general discuss the matter of military armor, can they make a slight concession and improve their status in Yizhou?"

Chu He nodded: "The price of armor can't be lowered." Our Standing Army needs to be stockpiled with enough supplies to be able to expand rapidly at the last minute. ”

"You can give away a thousand sets of steel soldiers from Yuezhou and Qizhou to see if Yizhou can eat it. ”

"In addition, you persuaded Yin Song to form a private army, the scale of which was controlled within five thousand, and the silver and two materials were provided by the Standing Army, and a part of the Qianyuan Guard was arranged into it. Even if Yonghong is aware of it, and now that he asks me to set the army, he will definitely not be troubled. ”

Deng Zitao nodded and should be: "The last general will wake up." ”

He paused: "Why didn't the lord personally tell Yin Song what was at stake?"

Chu He shook his head: "I will go back to Tianzhou soon and join Jiang Wei and Long He." The Shu army is now a large army still moving, afraid of other plans, it is likely to open up a new battlefield in Nanhua Mountain, and it is somewhat uneasy not to look at the army in person. ”

Tianzhou borders Qinzhou, but the area is not very large, and the status in Shu is not even as good as Qinzhou, Nanhua Mountain can be regarded as the territory of Tianzhou, and now it is occupied by the Southern Barbarian Army, and Meng Huo's base camp is set up at the foot of Nanhua Mountain in Tianzhou.

As soon as Chu He's words fell, suddenly the jade pendant on his waist flashed, and a red yellow spirit bird flew quickly from outside the window, and when he approached Chu He, it turned into a red yellow talisman.

Chu He stretched out his hand and took the talisman into his hand, and after a little look, his face became a little strange.

Deng Zitao couldn't help asking, "Lord, what happened?"

If it weren't for Deng Zitao, who was born in Chu He's personal guard, he won the trust of Chu He, and he didn't dare to ask Chu He.

The Wanli Communication Talisman only had to be used once, and he didn't see any movement from Chu He, and the talisman in his hand spontaneously combusted without fire, and turned into green ash in a blink of an eye.

"It was a message sent by General Long He that when the Southern Barbarian Army was deploying Nanhua Mountain, a bottomless pit was found in Nanhua Mountain, and there was a golden spirit Jiao in it. ”

Deng Zitao's face couldn't help but be a little shocked: "Jin Lingjiao?"

Chu He smiled slightly: "Not bad." ”

Deng Zitao gasped: "Legend has it that there is a strange insect in Kyushu called the white worm, a thousand years of horns, two thousand years of Jiaojiao, three thousand years of long wings, four thousand years of golden scales born throughout the body, for the golden spirit Jiao, can soar the clouds and fog to call the wind and rain, if another thousand years, open the spiritual wisdom, it can transform into a real dragon!"

"Isn't this golden spirit Jiao on Nanhua Mountain equivalent to a seven-rank god of war?"

Chu He shook his head: "You are wrong. This Golden Spirit Jiao is not a seventh-grade divine beast, but an eight-rank divine beast!"

"Meng Yu wanted to kill Jin Lingjiao and capture Jin Lingjiao's inner dan, so he found General Long He and wanted to ask Ben Shuai and General Long He to help. ”

Deng Zitao couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "Meng Huo actually dared to make a move against the Eight-Rank Divine Beast?" Could it be that the two million army of the southern barbarian army, countless strong people, plus Meng Huo, the god of war, can't deal with a golden spirit Jiao, why do you need the lord to take action?"

Even if Jin Lingjiao is an eight-rank divine beast, but the divine beast is also afraid of the blood of the army, that is, Zhuge Wolong has been suppressed by the blood of the army, Deng Zitao does not believe that Jin Lingjiao can resist the siege of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops.

An eight-rank divine beast, even a drop of blood is incomparably precious, how can Meng Yu be willing to share the profits with others? It is impossible for him to delusionally think that Chu He and the dragon are obliged to make a move.

Chu He attaches great importance to Deng Zitao, and some of his confidants have cultivated him, and patiently explained to him: "Jin Lingjiao is not smart, although his strength is extremely strong, he is extremely careful, and he will never let himself fall into danger. ”

Chu He has now read many classics, including various catalogues of strange flowers and spirits, ancient beast genealogies, etc., plus the dragon also said about Jin Lingjiao on the talisman, and he has some understanding of Jin Lingjiao's situation.

This golden spirit Jiao is definitely one of the most bizarre super beasts in the land of Kyushu, obviously has incomparably strong strength, but the spirit is familiar with the three or four grade demon beasts, and the eight-grade realm can not be transformed, and the accumulation has reached an outrageous point, only when it reaches the nine-grade realm and opens the spirit wisdom, can it turn into a real dragon.

Jin Lingjiao's guts are not as good as a drill gopher, and if he finds something wrong, he will flee away, and is also known as the most non-threatening divine beast.

Of course, it is precisely because Jin Lingjiao is so cautious that he can survive four thousand years from a white man with low strength, and finally become an eight-rank divine beast Jin Lingjiao.

Those daring beasts, such as the Seven-Rank Dragon Python, had already been captured and devoured by other more powerful creatures.

Chu He said lightly: "If you want to capture and kill Jin Lingjiao, you can only use the elite strategy, no more than ten people, you must show weakness, otherwise Jin Lingjiao will definitely not dare to fight." ”

Deng Zitao exhaled and said with some worry: "Does the lord really plan to make a move on this Jin Lingjiao? No matter how timid Jin Lingjiao is, it is also one of the most powerful existences in the world, if he falls into a Jedi, he will definitely fight hard, for fear that he will hurt the lord!"

Chu He nodded and said in a deep voice: "If you want to break through the realm and seize the opportunity, how can you not take risks, Meng Yu also understands this truth." ”

"After killing Jin Lingjiao, Meng Shu will directly take Neidan, and the rest will belong to my Changding Army!"

His eyes became deep, as if he was talking to himself: "General Long Ji, General Huang Zhong, etc., in the end, the blood loss is very great, this golden spirit Jiao can greatly improve their strength and restore their peak state, it is impossible for this commander not to make a move!"
