Liujiazhuang.

Liu Bodu Thatched Cottage.

"Let's talk about Yuan Shikai, after the First Sino-Japanese War, in order to enhance the military strength of the Qing government, in 1895, Yuan Shikai began to train troops at the small station between Tianjin and Tanggu. However, he took this opportunity to cultivate his cronies and henchmen, such as Xu Shichang, Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang, Wang Shizhen, Cao Kun, Zhang Xun, etc., it can be seen that this person is ambitious, he is thinking about his own future, where can he care about anything else? Therefore, I dare to assert that such a court will not last long, and it may be that in the next few years, such a government must fall, and the so-called general trend of the world will be divided for a long time, and the world will be divided for a long time, and the world will be in chaos again. ”

"Oh? The world is going to be in chaos again? Zhang Tianhe asked.

"Yes, it is your misfortune and mine's misfortune in troubled times, and at the same time, it is also your opportunity."

"What do you mean, sir?"

"The so-called heroes in troubled times, heroes like you will be useful," Liu Bodu said, took out a map from the drawer and hung it up, "Captain, please see, we are now in Chaoyang County, Lingyuan County, and Liaoning, Hebei, Mongolia junction, and this area is also the place where soldiers must fight, think back then, Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms period also first unified the north, and then entered the Central Plains, then, captain, you can now gradually become bigger and stronger in the local area, and wait until your strength is strong enough, When the government is so powerful that it can't exterminate you, I think that at that time, the Qing government will definitely recruit you, and it is not a long-term solution to stay in the rivers and lakes for a long time like you are now, and occupy the mountains as the king. ”

"Zhao'an?" Zhang Tianhe asked.

"Yes, do you know Song Jiang and others in Liangshan back then, they were also bitter and bitter, and they had to go to Liangshan as a last resort, and when their strength was strong enough, they were so strong that the Great Song Dynasty could not exterminate them, and the court recruited them."

"Sir has a point."

"Captain, don't forget, you are the head of good luck, with the help of nobles, as far as I know, Li Sizhe, who came with you, his mother is surnamed Aixin Jueluo, which is stained with the imperial family, and when the time is ripe, you can ask Li Sizhe to mobilize his mother to speak for you in the court, and the relationship is active, if I expect it to be good, Zhao'an should not be a big problem. When you have a foundation and then enter the officialdom, it will be different, you don't have to be in the same stream with those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, you can have a lot of autonomy, become a figure of real power, as long as you have a gun in your hand, have your own team, with your wisdom, it won't be long before you can become the master of Chengde, and then control the whole province. Then, wave your troops to the west to eliminate the Mongolian bandits and occupy Mongolia, and then you can occupy the north and look at the Central Plains. ”

"Sir, what you said made me feel like the sun had cleared the clouds, and suddenly pointed us out the way forward," Zhang Tianhe sighed again, "It's just that I'm just the captain of a security team now, isn't it a bit too early to say this?" ”

"Haha, it seems to be a little early, in fact, it's also a quick thing, you think, not long ago, could you have thought that you would be the captain of the security team?" Liu Bodu said.

"That's just as well."

"Let's talk about your current situation, Feng Delin of Qingfeng Village will be your number one rival, you must be careful and not be an enemy."

"Qingfeng Village? I heard that Wang Xiong, the deputy owner of the village, is now in charge, and Feng Delin has been set aside," Zhang Tianhe said, "He hacked our five thousand taels of silver, but refused to let go, and I was planning to settle accounts with him." ”

"Do you think that Wang Xiong will live for a few days?" Liu Bodu said disapprovingly, "He's just a line of corpses, and he's already dead, and he doesn't know it yet." ”

"What do you mean, sir?" When Zhang Tianhe heard this, he couldn't help but be taken aback, "That Wang Xiong is hot now, he has great power, he can't be used for a lifetime, who dares to touch him?" ”

"That's just a superficial phenomenon," said Liu Bodu, "and I'll tell you another story, in the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao with the weak, and his two sons, Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi, fled to Liaoxi and defected to the Karasuma chieftain Bunton. Cao Cao's general Zhang Liao killed Badun in the battle of White Wolf Mountain, and Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi took thousands of personal soldiers to Gongsun Kang in Liaodong. At that time, some people suggested taking advantage of the victory to pursue, but the strategist Guo Jia objected, saying that if they attacked urgently, then they would join forces with Gongsun Kang to resist to the death, but it was difficult to try, if it was slowed down, then they would be suspicious and kill each other, and it would not be long before Gongsun Kang would send the head of Eryuan to Cao Cao's account, and the result was as Guo Jia expected. And your current situation is a bit similar to that of them, if you attack Wang Xiong in a hurry, then he will definitely deal with you with Von Delin, if you don't attack, they will definitely kill each other. ”

"Will that happen?" Zhang Tianhe listened and was a little skeptical.

"Also, over there in Heiyun Village, Du Lisi is a little dissatisfied with you, you have to be wary of him, but I think when your strength is strong, with your godfather in charge, there is still a chance to subdue him."

"Sir, you don't leave the house, but you know everything about the world, and you know everything about the surrounding affairs."

"Captain, you have won the award, I am just taking advantage of the situation, telling the truth," Liu Bodu said, "Right now, your most important thing is to find a way to strengthen your strength as soon as possible, I suggest that you can start with the small group of Mongolian bandits in Tongliao and gradually encroach on them." They have guns and horses in their hands, they plague the people, they win and cannot be defeated, they seem to show their teeth and claws, but in fact, you can take their guns and horses without beating, these are equivalent to saying that they are given to you by God. ”

"Okay, sir's words are better than ten years of study, then, we will do what Mr. planned," Zhang Tianhe stood up and gave a deep salute, "I implore Mr. to go out of the mountain to help, listen to your teachings sooner or later, please don't shirk." ”

"Since Captain Zhang is gracious, then, I might as well be respectful." Liu Bodu didn't refuse, and agreed very happily.

When Zhang Tianhe heard that he agreed, he was overjoyed.

"It's just that I can't bear to have more than a dozen children," Liu Bodu said, "That's it, I still have a younger brother, and I have also been to school for a few years, I will hand over the children to him, arrange the affairs of the family, you will stay with me today, tomorrow morning, I will accompany you down the mountain, how about it?" ”

"That's great!" Zhang Tianhe said.

At this time, Tang Dalong and Li Sizhe also wandered back.

Liu Bodu set up a banquet and warmly entertained, quite the heroic spirit of the people in the rivers and lakes, Tang Dalong and Li Sizhe saw that it was very different from the last time, so Tang Dalong asked: "Sir, I have something unclear and want to ask for advice in person." ”

"Leader Tang, please speak."

"One, why did you have such a big shelf the last time we came? And this time it was a big deal with our captain? Second, why is Feng Delin's power so big, you don't support him, but you are willing to protect our Captain Zhang? Tang Dalong said.

When Liu Bodu heard this, he laughed and said: "The so-called wine is less than a thousand cups of confidants, and the words are not speculative for more than half a sentence, and the person who is a confidant dies, I and your Captain Zhang are like each other at first sight, you ask me why I don't protect the powerful Feng Delin, but why do I want to protect your Captain Zhang, then, I want to ask you and Li Sizhe what's going on, didn't you also protect Feng Delin before, why did you change now?" Is it not strange that you have done so yourselves, and yet you have come to ask me? ”

When the two of them heard this, they looked at each other and smiled.

"I think back then, when Zhuge Liang was cultivating in Nanyang, there were many people who could be supported, such as Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Cao Cao in the north, and Sun Quan in Jiangdong, so why did he finally protect Liu Bei, who was the weakest at that time?" Liu Bodu said.

"What's the reason for that?" Tang Dalong said.

"I think it's fate, there is a fate to get together, of course, the most important thing is that Liu Bei was a hero at that time, a master, although he said that his power at that time was still very weak, and it will become a big thing in the future."

"So, what Mr. Liu means is that our Captain Zhang is also a hero in the world, and he will become a great thing in the future, right?" Li Sizhe said.

"Let's wait and see." Liu Bodu said.
