Light and the sixth year, February, Bonggao.

At this time, Hu Muban and Cai Yong were sitting in Zhuge Jue's office. Since Zhang Chong's Taishan army entered Fenggao, Hu Muban can no longer maintain the situation at both ends of the snake and mouse in the past.

However, Hu Muban did not join the Taishan Army, nor did he get an official position in the acting government of the Taishan Army. The reason why this is so is that in addition to Hu Muban's hesitation, on the other hand, Zhang Chong said that Hu Muban is more effective outside than inside.

Cai Yong no longer lives in Hu's mother's house, he moved in with his family to the county government office and became the new Taishan County Taishou. Although, his Taishou is just a chaotic army that blindly seals the Caotai Taishou, although this Taishou is also in charge of three counties.

Cai Yong's thief, Hu Muban had a good chat with him. This time, Hu Muban did not say that the two of us are Hanchen and the Han thief are not separated, but seriously discussed with Cai Yong how much chance Zhang Chong has of winning the world.

In fact, Cai Yong didn't say it in his heart, but does he still have a choice? He had already been disappointed in the Han court, and if he did not join Zhang Chong's Taishan army this time, he would also join the shogunate of a powerful minister of the Han dynasty next time. The Han family is no longer saved, so they can only start all over again.

But since Hu Muban asked, Cai Yong still made a rough guess:

"From the current point of view, the whole country is about sixty percent. But if you want to say that you can win the world, it is estimated that there is no one. Senior brother, have you ever heard of anyone who can win the world here in Qidi? It can be said that there is not a single one in history.

Qin won the world with Guanlong, the former Han Dynasty was still like this, and the current Han family is dependent on Hebei and Hanoi. And the anti-kings in Qi Land in the past dynasties are all the forerunners of the true dragon. The original State of Qi, although also known as the Eastern Emperor, was also the last to be destroyed by the State of Qin, but in the end it was still a loser. If you look at the three Qi kings in Qi at the end of Qin, they were either beaten by Xiang Yu or killed each other, and were finally destroyed by Han Xin. In the end, Zhang Bu in the last years of Xinmang was even more melting than frost and snow. Therefore, there is no kingly spirit in this place. ”

What Cai Yong said, Hu Muban also understood, but he didn't think about it seriously, it was Cai Yong who said it, and then he found out that it was really such a thing, and now his entire clan life is on Zhang Chong, so he asked in a panic:

"Isn't this rush about to be finished?"

Cai Yong was also frowning, he first asked tentatively:

"Senior brother, do you know the Taiping Road for rescuing the suffering?"

As soon as these words came out, Hu Muban looked at Cai Yong with a strange expression, and said uncertainly:

"Senior brother, you entered the Taiping Dao, don't you want to pull me into the sect now."

Cai Yong shook his head and said to Hu Muban:

"It seems that Senior Brother knows the Taiping Dao. Then do you know what the relationship between Qu Kui and Taiping Dao is? ”

Hu Muban became more and more puzzled, and asked tentatively:

"Zhang Chong wants to join Taiping Dao?"

Cai Yongxu pointed in the direction where Zhang Chong was and whispered:

"It's not that I want to join, but I already am. Our Qu Kui is the head of the Taishan side of Taiping Dao, and he is also the closed disciple of their Taiping Dao people. ”

In the end, Hu Muban has a city government, even when he heard such a big news, he only opened his mouth wide, but he didn't exclaim. Then I heard Cai Yong say:

"I also learned about this, and after I knew it, I knew that this was an opportunity for Zhang Chong and their Taishan Army to leap into the dragon gate. I know that many of your party members are cooperating with Taiping Dao, but none of them really want to help Taiping Dao, they all want to take advantage of the chaos to make profits. So can our Taishan Army get a piece of the pie? Don't talk about it far away, let's just say that there are millions of Taiping Daoists in the world, distributed on both sides of the river, as long as our Taishan Army becomes the new mentor of Taiping Dao, does that mean that it can command the Taiping Dao in the world? In this way, didn't the Taishan army jump out of the quagmire of this Qi land. ”

The two had to continue to talk deeply, and Zhuge Jue, the county over there, came out, and the two tacitly agreed not to talk about it, but changed the topic and talked with Zhuge Jue.

This Zhuge Jue is an interesting person, Fenggao City has been under siege for half a year, and he is still an official of the Han Court.

On the day the city was broken, he was captured by a general of the Taishan Army to Zhang Chong, and then Zhang Chong knew that this person's hometown was Langya, and his surname was Zhuge , Zhang Chong was shocked, and then knocked on the side a few times, and asked them who the Langya Zhuge family was. Although he didn't hear anything familiar, Zhang Chong was almost sure that this person should be Zhuge Liang's clan uncle.

Later, Zhang Chong learned from the mouths of some Fenggao people that this Zhuge Jue was indeed a good official and had a good official reputation, so it was not difficult for him to be this person, so he was only detained alone.

Later, Zhang Chong asked Cai Yong to be the Taishou, and one of the conditions that Cai Yong put forward at that time was that he wanted Zhuge Jue, and Zhang Chong agreed.

Originally, Cai Yong was a celebrity again, and it was impossible to make Zhuge a thief, but Cai Yong said that he was just a sour rot and had never had experience as a herdsman, so he would definitely not be able to cure the common people. When the time comes, the people will not be able to govern well, and most of those thieves will go back to the river to fish, and the people will be consumed as dogs and horses, so you Zhuge Jue came out, not to govern the people for the thieves, but to make a living for the people of Fenggao.

Yes, he Zhuge is ruling the people for the Han Court and the thieves, but for the people. So he agreed to be a county official, and also recruited a group of exiled county officials, who still used the seal of the Han court to handle county affairs.

Of course, Zhuge Jue's life in the Taishan camp and his heart in the Han Court naturally aroused a lot of criticism in the Taishan army, especially Zhao Da, a legalist who valued the most righteousness, was the most opposed.

At that time, Hu Muban was fortunately not there, otherwise he would be so angry that he would vomit blood again.

But Zhang Chong suppressed all these criticisms, for him, not to mention who is an official, and anyone who can solve the problem for him can be used.

And judging from Zhuge Jue's actions, this person is a person who has the people in his heart and loyalty in his heart. If this person can be sucked into the curtain, it will be a huge blow to the Han Ting family. Everyone will think that even such a loyal and patriotic person has become a thief, so is this Han family really exhausted.

As for whether this person will change the court, Zhang Chong believes that it is very likely. It's not that he thinks Zhuge Jue is the kind of person who sells his reputation and reputation, but he never looks at how he is, but whether the Han Court can tolerate him. He said that he didn't vote for the enemy, so he didn't vote? Will the Han Court believe?

When Li Ling went out to attack the Xiongnu, he was captured with all his strength, and he was also unswerving to be a Hanchen, but in the end? Didn't Emperor Xiaowu just listen to this person's surrender and kill his family? In the end, Li Ling had to vote if he didn't vote.

So, Zhang Chong is not in a hurry, wait and see, he believes that Hanting will help him get this person. As for what happens, then he Zhang Chong has no loss, isn't this Zhuge Jue still ruling the people for him.

Today, it was Cai Yong who came to Zhuge with Hu's mother's class, in addition to chatting and enhancing feelings, the most important thing is that Cai Yong still wants to listen to Zhuge Jue's advice.

In the morning, Qu Kui Zhang Chong summoned all the commanders and military staff of the Taishan Army to his mansion, including Cai Yong, and they discussed one thing:

Where should our Taishan Army go next?

At that time, Zhang Chong said this:

"After four years of the establishment of our Taishan Army, it can be said that we have fought many battles and overcome many difficulties, but now I want to say that now, right now, it is time for the life and death of our Taishan Army. During this time, the flying army carried the flag and constantly reported the situation in the southern part of the county and the situation in Jinan, Qi and Langya.

It can be said that in our east, Pingyuan County, Jinan State, and Qi State have already jumped to try, and our northern Jibei Kingdom and Lu State are also waiting for the Dan, and then the Langya State in the south is even more ready to take the bow, so it can be said that an encirclement against our Taishan Army has been formed.

This time, these counties all mobilized their troops in unison, which can only show one thing, that is, the Han court's conquest army is already on the way, and it should still be the northern and southern armies of the imperial court according to convention. So today we're going to talk about it, what are we going to do? ”

This meeting is actually an internal think tank, not to unify the voice, but really to brainstorm.

The opinion of several staff members was that they could fortify the walls and clear the wilderness, and fight a protracted war with Fenggao Jiancheng and the Han court. But this suggestion was quickly rejected by several of Feng Gao's aides, who said:

"Holding on is to wait for reinforcements, and without reinforcements, even the strongest city will be breached. Therefore, the strong walls are clear, except for the dilapidated places, there is no use at all. ”

"Why is it useless? Don't know how to put it off? As long as we accumulate corn in the city, garrison the fortified city, and guard him for two years, then you will see that the world will change unchanged. ”

Then these two groups of people began to talk back and forth, you said, what if it hasn't changed, he said, how do you know it hasn't changed?

Then He Kui's opinion is whether we can fight out, he thinks like this, the purpose of our previous trip to the mountain is to take the initiative to attack, mobilize the living forces of nearby counties, and eliminate them in the movement. Now is it okay to do this, since an encirclement has been formed on the periphery of Taishan County, then we will take the initiative to break this encirclement, and we can even directly hit the Central Plains to see if we can form another huge uprising in the world.

He Kui's words meant something, he knew that Taiping Dao was strong in the Central Plains of Ruying, so the meaning of his words was to fight to the Central Plains, unite all parties, and launch a major uprising together.

His plan not only united the Taiping Dao in the Central Plains to strengthen its strength, but also led the water to the west, forcing the Taiping Dao to launch an uprising together.

Zhang Chong bowed his head, this is a way, and then he saw that Zhao Da, the chief of military law, wanted to speak and stopped, so he asked;

"Yongxi, what do you think. It's okay, you can talk about it. You're pretty resolute on weekdays, but what's wrong with you today, it's not like you. ”

Zhao Da was ashamed, but he still said rightly:

"Qu, I think we can try to go to Jiaodong."

"Jiaodong?"
