The officers and soldiers finally retreated.

Strictly speaking, it is not appropriate to say that it is an officer and an officer, after all, only the army of the Son of Heaven can be called an official army, but compared with Ma Dali's gang of bandits, Li Dao and Guo Yan are indeed more "orthodox".

The battle in front of this town was indeed a little strange, there were many people on the bandits' side, and they were about to beat those officers and soldiers back, but who knew that Zhou Ping came to a large-scale confession scene, and the things in the rear would naturally affect the front line, and the bandits who fought in front were about to be distracted and defeated, if it weren't for Ma Dali personally fighting to maintain morale, maybe at this time Zhou Ping and the gang of people had a banquet not at this dock, but the dungeon of Tongguan.

Yes, at this moment, Zhou Ping and the others are having dinner with this gang of bandits.

Zhou Ping, who inexplicably became a so-called virtuous teacher, naturally sat at the head of the seat, and beside him was the old man with a tumor's back who cried during the day, this old man's name is Qi Laosan, and he is the most pious one in this group of people who believe in the Taiping Dao.

In addition to Zhou Ping and the third Qi Laosan, there were also the big and small leaders of the bandits, as well as the three women of Diao Chan, Dong Bai and Han Ji.

Here I have to praise the Yellow Turban Army or the bandits are more advanced, there is no need to observe any etiquette here, women can also be at the table, aside from the three girls on Zhou Ping's side, even the big and small leaders among the bandits, there are several women.

And in the midst of the staggering, Zhou Ping finally inquired about what a virtuous teacher was.

If the Yellow Turban Army is regarded as a regime, then the Yellow Turban Army is undoubtedly a **** regime, the leader Zhang Jiao is not only the number one military leader, but also the spiritual leader of the Yellow Turban Army, and the title he gives himself is the great sage and good teacher.

One is a general who can lead the army to fight, this kind of person is a large number of people in the Yellow Turban Army, and the identity is not very noble, and the other is a military advisor who has profound attainments on the Taiping Road and can use the same magic as Zhang Jiao, although they are few in number, but almost every one of them is the commander of a righteous army, which is equivalent to the state pastor of the Han family, and has both military power and political power.

In the eyes of these bandits, Zhou Ping, who can release thunder and lightning, naturally belongs to the latter, and even Han Ji, who is beside Zhou Ping, is also regarded by them as a proof of Zhou Ping's ghost control technique.

And looking at the appearance of these people, the past few years of bandit life have not only not shaken their loyalty to the way of the Yellow Heaven, but have made them more and more eager to have a virtuous teacher to lead them.

"Righteousness is mostly dog slaughter."

Taking a sip of the half-sweet mash, Zhou Ping sighed in a low voice. These people used to be poor, some were blessed by the Taiping Dao, and some were simply inspired by the slogan of the Yellow Sky World, but it was they who were now the most loyal supporters of the Yellow Turban Army.

"Master, what are you talking about?"

Qi Laosan, who was accompanying him on the side, didn't hear what Zhou Ping was saying, and turned his head and asked.

"It's okay, it's okay, you eat yours."

Zhou Ping waved his hand to signal Qi Laosan not to care, he looked at Qi Laosan's yellow back on his face, suddenly thought of something, and asked again.

"Speaking of which, Qi Laosan, you are the only ones who know how to spell, don't you have any strong men?"

This is also a point that makes Zhou Ping a little concerned, it seems that there are only old and weak women and children who can do magic among the bandits, including Qi Laosan, and there is not a single strong man, according to Qi Laosan, these people who know how to do magic are particularly devout to Taiping Dao, are they all shallow believers in the strong men?

"Actually, there are, and there are a lot of them, but ...... Alas, it's a long story......"

After listening to Zhou Ping's question, Qi Laosan sighed, and under Zhou Ping's questioning eyes, he finally spoke.

"The master should know that although Zhang Yan usually doesn't give orders to us, but only asks for some silver money regularly, but speaking of which, we are still Zhang Yan's subordinates. And since one of us knew how to do magic, Zhang Yan gave us an order and ordered us to send all the strong men who knew magic to him, saying that we wanted to make up a separate one. ”

Is this Zhang Yan going to form an elite army?

"One? There are so many of you? ”

Zhou Ping was stunned, according to the current military system, one song is four hundred, and two songs are one, that Zhang Yan drew 800 people from here, but now there are only 3 or 400 people here, in other words, that Zhang Yan has drawn most of them from here?

"Ah, the master misunderstood. There are many Yellow Turban members attached to Zhang Yan, and we are just one of the smaller ones, and there are dozens of people in these Yellow Turban Divisions, and there are only a few people in us, so there is more than one group.

After listening to Qi Laosan's explanation, Zhou Ping understood, he nodded, and his thoughts turned again.

There are three or four hundred people in this group, and among the three or four hundred people, there can be a few strong men who can do magic, so by extension, the Yellow Turban people who are attached to Zhang Yan have tens of thousands of people. If those Yellow Turban tribesmen also bowed their heads when they saw them like this group, then wouldn't they be a prince?

If you want to go farther, there are millions of people in the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, if their reputation can be passed on, then they will also become their own subordinates, what Yuan Shao, what Prime Minister Cao Cheng, they all have to stand aside!

Thinking about it like this, Zhou Ping didn't realize that he seemed to have left the matter of following Liu Bei behind.

However, reverie and reverie, Zhou Ping can still recognize the reality more or less, such a thing as a name, when the power is big, it is naturally a help, but now that he is small, it is inevitable that there will be a suspicion of unworthiness. The reason why these people will be subdued by themselves at the moment is that on the one hand, they are really loyal supporters of the Yellow Sky Dao, and on the other hand, it is not the reason why they are too weak.

What's more, the virtuous teacher is the position of the Yellow Turban Army, if he rashly shows this out, although it will not reach the so-called world attack, but everyone will definitely shout and fight.

However, on the whole, his start is not bad, after a few years of bandit career, his subordinates still maintain combat effectiveness, although there are no military divisions and generals, but he and Dong Bai are just competent, and there is also the stronghold of Tongguan Wharf, although the Tongguan garrison is on the side, but judging from their performance today, the focus of Li and Guo Yan is still to operate Guanzhong, and there is no intention of expanding eastward, otherwise it will not be a hundred and ten infantry, but a team of elite cavalry.

And his own development direction, so it seems obvious, naturally is to collect the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, from small to large, annex one by one, and then when the time is ripe, find Zhang Yan and ask for the strong men who belong to the Yellow Turban Army back!
