"Keep up with the future!"

"Turn left!"

"Stand upright!"

In an open space in the cottage, except for the indispensable sentry, all the people and horses of the entire cottage gathered here, whether it was a big or small leader or an ordinary soldier, everyone lined up, listening to the orders of Zhou Ping on the stage, and listening to the orders and making movements a little clumsily.

"On this hot day, call us out and just stand stupidly, and I don't know what the virtuous teacher is going to do!"

"Who said no, what else did Lao Shizi do to strengthen the construction of the army, if you want to say that the virtuous teacher calls the wind and rain, I believe it, but look at his fine skin and tender meat, has he commanded the army!"

"Yes, no matter how good this stands, what can it be, when doing business, it's not a knife flash, grab what should be grabbed, and take what should be taken!"

"Still doing business, didn't you listen to what the virtuous teacher said just now, now you are not allowed to do big and small transactions!"

While listening to Zhou Ping's orders on the stage, the two thieves talked unscrupulously, but what they didn't know was that although the voice was not loud, their conversation still reached Zhou Ping's ears clearly.

Hearing the conversation of these people, Zhou Ping did not get angry, and saw the whole leopard at a glance, the words of these two ordinary little minions reflected the thoughts of most of the bandits, these bandits are too heavy, and there is still a long way to go to change the minds of these people.

Although they are all called Zhou Ping's virtuous and good teachers, but now Zhou Ping's soldiers are mainly composed of three groups, one group is Ma Dali's old Yellow Turban Department, although these people have also been bandits before, but the foundation of the Yellow Turban Army is still there, although they are generally hostile to the landlords and gentry, but they can still maintain kindness to the poor people who are from the same background as them.

The other group is Zhu Peng's old department, the foundation of these people is the Xiliang Army, although the reputation of the Xiliang Army outside is not very good, and they have done a lot of bad things with Dong Zhuo before, but on the other hand, the Xiliang Army is still strict with internal military discipline, and with this foundation, it is not difficult to restrain them.

The third group is Liu Scaryan's subordinates who gave Zhou Ping a headache, as he heard before, this kind of whispering Zhou Ping can't be heard by the soldiers under Zhu Peng before, and now that he is here, these bandits can still restrain him, but Zhou Ping knows very well that once he is not there, these bandits will definitely sprout old ways.

I am now giving military training to these bandits, although I can't change their minds, but at least I can establish my majesty in their hearts, and with the majesty, it will naturally be easier and smoother to transform their ideas in the future.

Zhou Ping's small forces are becoming regular step by step, a little slowly, but at least they are indeed advancing, but the only uncertainty is whether this slow progress can keep up with this era, or the rapid changes in the current situation.

Shangdang County.

The former county guard's mansion and today's Zhang Yan's residence, although the owner has changed, there are still many people in front of the mansion, but the visitors have changed from Confucian students with high crowns in Confucian robes to bandits in Wuthering Mountains.

The people outside the door don't seem to be in a group, some of them are neatly dressed, some are very casual, the only thing that is consistent is their unruly temperament, it is obvious that these people are the so-called right-hand men of the big guys.

These right-hand men waited at the door, watching others with the same gaze while watching out for others, and the air gradually became scorched, so anxious that many pedestrians chose to walk around it.

The world inside the door naturally can't be like the outside of the door, these bandit leaders who dominate all over the country are fighting each other outside the door, but inside the door, they are Zhang Yan's subordinates after all, and in front of Zhang Yan, the most basic harmony still has to be shown.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there are two main things to bring the brothers together today, one is to set the share that each family should pay next month, as usual, and the other is to discuss with the brothers, our neighbor to the east, that is, Yuan Shao, and his grievances, it's time to settle it."

The former thing is a common thing, and when there is not much change in the territory of each family, it is good to continue to continue the previous share, but the latter thing is somewhat unexpected by everyone.

There was friction between Zhang Yan and Yuan Shao last year, when Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan grabbed territory, Zhang Yan sent his subordinates to help Gongsun Chan be defeated by Yuan Shao, and Zhang Yan's power also shrank with this defeat. Liangzi has already been settled, whether it is Yuan Shao or Zhang Yan, both sides know that this matter will not end like this.

However, what many bandit leaders present did not expect was that the second time to provoke trouble was not the defeated Yuan Shao, but the defeated Zhang Yan, even if Zhang Yan recuperated and recovered some strength, but in less than a year, where can this strength be restored, where does this Zhang Yan come from?

"General Zhonglang, the brothers know that they want to find Liangzi, but the other party is that Yuan Shao after all, shouldn't we wait."

The bandit leader who spoke out was mainly active in the area of Shangdang County, and Shangdang was Yuan Shao's territory further east, according to his speculation, if the fight started, Zhang Yan would definitely be defeated like last time, and after the defeat, the power would continue to shrink, and if it shrank again, wouldn't his territory be shrinking.

"Yes, General Zhonglang, it's been less than a year since the last fight, and I'm afraid the brothers won't be able to bear it again!"

This one's territory is not as close to Yuan Shao as the previous one, and there is no worry about losing the territory, but it costs money to fight, and this money must be indispensable to himself who is located in the rear.

It was not only these two who spoke out, but everyone else also responded with nonsense, some of these people have a good relationship, but more of them have a bad relationship, but this time, no matter what their relationship is, they do not agree with Zhang Yan sending troops to Yuan Shao.

The opposition of these people was expected by Zhang Yan, and no one knew better than Zhang Yan, who was also a bandit, how the calculations in the hearts of these people were played, and he raised his glass to drink, covering up the contempt and disdain in his eyes.

The flies and dogs are calculating, bandits are bandits after all, even if the territory becomes bigger, there is still only a little vision.

The wine glass was put down, Zhang Yan's face calmly swept over the bandit leaders below one by one, and as his eyes swept over, the noisy bandit leaders gradually quieted down.

They weren't afraid of Zhang Yan yelling and scolding, they were afraid that Zhang Yan would be so calm. After yelling and scolding, everything that should have passed has passed, but the anger after calming down is something they can't bear.

“…… Mr. Gongsun, take them to see it. ”

But to everyone's surprise, Zhang Yan seemed to be really calm, he just waved his hand and instructed the strong man beside him. And a careful bandit leader noticed that Zhang Yan seemed to call the guard-like strong man "sir".

"Yes."

Gongsun Yuan nodded in response.

"Everyone, please come with me."
