There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Seeing that the noble family had left, Bao Xin hurriedly asked the pottery merchant, "Young master Tao, you agreed to the request of the noble family so easily. You should know that there are a lot of soldiers in Baibo, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack since the city of Pao. Too hasty."

Wang Kuang also agreed: "Yes, what should I do if I can't beat him?"

The potter turned his head and looked at the two of them as if looking at a gorilla, his eyes full of suspicion and puzzlement.

"If you can't get it down, you can't get it back. What else can he do? He can still force us to return the things?"

Bao Xin and Wang Kuang were stunned when they heard this.

There is nothing wrong with saying this!

Han Hao let out a long sigh.

The four great families were still there and agreed with this kid on what year to get rid of thieves and let them play again.

Wang Kuang coughed, and turned the matter to the crusade against the Baibo thieves, and said, "Since the four great families have agreed to our conditions, how should we go to attack the thieves?"

After hearing this, the pottery merchant secretly thought that Wang Kuang's chicken thief and the famous family had finished their talks, and they became the other party "promise me to wait", but during the talk, why didn't "I wait" come out to help me talk?

After the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole, he has become the winner.

Bao Xin is used to fighting, and he has dealt with the remnants of the Yellow Turbans a lot before, especially the main force of the Floating Cloud Yellow Turban Army led by Jietian Yasha He Man was defeated by Bao Xin at the beginning.

Therefore, regarding the combat power of the Baibo Yellow Turban Army, Bao Xin thought that although there were many people, the combat power should not be very strong.

"Although the Baibo Army claims to have more than [-] horses, most of them were just ordinary people in the past. The number of people who can really be called an army is no more than tens of thousands, and the elite soldiers, in a certain view, are only ten thousand More people! According to Bao’s analysis, the reason why the Baibo bandits were able to defeat Niu Fu last year was because there were a lot of Kwantung rebels at that time. The old bandit Dong Zhuo was not as good as Dongwang. How could there be so many elite soldiers to deal with the Baibo bandits? Niu Fu, a crony general , because of the defeat in the great battle, its record cannot be judged! We only need to concentrate our troops and wipe out the best of them in one battle, and the bandit army will disperse!"

In all honesty, Wang Kuang has not been the prefect of Hanoi for a long time. The last time the Baibo army went south to cross Hanoi County, Wang Kuang had not yet taken office, so he didn't know much about the Baibo bandits. Now, after listening to Bao Xin I quite agree with the analysis, and turned to look at the pottery merchant and said, "What do you think, Mr. Tao?"

Seeing the contempt for Bai Bojun in Bao Xin's eyes, the Tao merchant couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Bao Xin has been in charge of the army for many years. In the past, he was appointed by the imperial court to encircle and suppress a small group of Yellow Turbans.

I only hope that such thoughts will not cause any bitter consequences to him in the future.

The pottery merchant thought for a while, and said, "I don't really care if I can defeat the elite of the Baibo bandits. After all, the Baibo army is a bandit who built a city in the valley and lived in a corner. There is no taxation, no farming, no production, and no logistics. Guarantee, the military system is not very clear, such a force, give Guo Da 100 million people, it won't last long in this world, and my main concern is their people."

Bao Xin asked curiously, "What do you mean by that?"

The pottery merchant sighed, and said: "Baibo's thieves have more than [-] people, most of them are just refugees who can't survive, and they became thieves as a last resort in the past. To take the lives of these thieves, whether it is returning to the people or returning to the army, is good."

The former era and the later era of purchasing agents are reflected here again. Bao Xin and Wang Kuang are very disapproving of this idea of ​​pottery.

"Young Master Tao." Bao Xin frowned, and said, "When we hunt down bandits, we are doing our best for our country! Report to the emperor, go down to the nobles, those Baibo bandits, no matter what they were like in the past, are now definitely bandits and vassals. Rebellion is no longer worthy of sympathy! Even if Bao Mou kills these people and makes them Jingguan, it is just what they deserve, and there is no need to worry about others!"

Wang Kuang also nodded and said: "That's right, Mr. Tao, it's fine for these rogues and untouchables to abide by the law, but to become rebels, and they should be killed to make an example. If not, how can we control the people of the world? I have to arrange it later, aren't you making trouble for me?"

The Tao merchant sighed, he knew in his heart that the ideas of Wang Kuang and Bao Xin did not suit him at present.

Forget it, if they don't want it, you don't want these people, so I will. "

Baibo Valley, from Pau.

"Crack!" Guo Da slapped Li Le hard on the ear, his eyes were full of anger, and his lips were trembling because of anger.

"How many times have I told you that you are not allowed to rob the famous family, you are not allowed to rob the famous family, but you have ignored my words? The last time I went out of the village, the hijacking was not enough, and I secretly sent troops to rob! You treat me as a Can't you die?!"

Li Le, the fourth brother of the Baibo Army, took a slap from Guo Da. Instead of being impatient, he knelt down to Guo Da and cried, "Boss!"

"Call Qu Shuai!" Guo Da said viciously.

"He is handsome! Brother, I am wronged!"

Guo Da's eyes gradually narrowed, he stared at Li Le who was kneeling on the ground crying for injustice, and shouted angrily: "Now the whole land of Three Rivers has spread, saying that the person who hijacked the property of the famous family in Hanoi is your subordinate Li Dashuai , why are you still calling me wrong here?!"

Li Le whimpered and nodded: "Boss! You know me well. Although I am a little mixed up in my daily work as the fourth child, I have always obeyed your orders and acted cautiously. I have never put on a cover! Boss told me to go east, brother, I never dared to look west! Don’t rob the famous family, this is the boss, you are afraid that the famous family will support the local counties and counties against us, I will always keep this in mind! No disobedience at all! Boss, believe me for once, this time it's really not me!"

When Guo Da heard this, he seemed a little hesitant.

It stands to reason that Li Le, a reckless man, is a bit of a mess on weekdays, but when it comes to the degree of loyalty, there is really nothing to say. Logically, he will not disobey the Iron Order of the Valley that he promulgated.

But the real thing right now is the news that Li Le's subordinates have hijacked several prominent families in Hanoi County.

Next to Guo Da, Yang Feng, the second head of the Baibo Army, said in a gloomy voice: "Brother, although your words are sincere, it may not be guaranteed. If you don't send troops, don't tell me that your subordinates won't go out of the valley without authorization?" Wild food?"

Li Le yelled angrily when he heard the words: "Yang Feng! What do you mean? If there are thousands of people hunting wild food in the valley, how could we not know?!"

Yang Feng said slowly: "Our brothers are in charge of the army and garrison separately, sticking to the main roads of Taniguchi, each of them has different duties, and they do not interfere with each other on weekdays. Fourth brother, no one can get out of Taniguchi in your hands. As a brother, it is natural It's not clear."

The Baibo army is a bandit system without a clear military system management. The five major canal commanders all have their own confidants. Although the commander is Guo Da, they all have the prestige and strength to lead their own divisions.

Li Le's teeth itched in anger: "Yang Feng! What do you mean! Or do you mean that I sent troops secretly! How dare you spread rumors to hurt Lao Tzu!"

"Okay!" Guo Da slammed his fist on the table and said angrily, "Stop arguing! There's no end to it!"

Yang Feng and Li Le fell silent after hearing Guo Da's anger.

"What's going on, I'll check it out when I look back! The most urgent thing is that the nobles in Hanoi must have hated us deeply, and Bao Buqi has been involved with the army. If there is the support of the nobles, Wang Kuang and others will have it." Sufficient protection can attack my Baibo Valley! The top priority is to rectify the troops and see how to retreat the enemy!"

Handsome Sanqu Han Xian said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this at all, Niu Fu is no match for us, forgive Wang Kuang, Bao Xin and others, what's the point?"

Guo Da shook his head and said: "Brothers, don't underestimate them. At the beginning, Niu Fu was just Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, a nepotism general. He didn't have any outstanding achievements, and his military skills were quite mediocre. We can defeat him. It’s not that our soldiers are so powerful. If Li Jue’s Flying Bear Army from Xiliang Army came instead, I’m afraid it might not be so easy to fight.”

Hu Cai, the fifth elder, also said: "Wang Kuang once fought Dong Zhuo head-on in Hanoi. Although he was defeated, he fought quite sensually. I heard that Bao Xin was a fierce general under He Jin's command in the past. We must not be careless. .”

Yang Feng stood up and said with a smile: "Brothers, what are you afraid of him doing? Since Pau City is built on the cliff, Baibo Valley is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Let's hold the main road and defend it with bows, arrows, trees and rolling stones. Forgive him for thousands of years." Even if Bao Xin and Wang Kuang are difficult to deal with, what's the use? If they can't break through, he won't be able to break through! After waiting for a long time, the other army will not be able to respond, and the morale of the army will be disturbed. Taking advantage of the situation in the valley to hide and kill the enemy, it is actually not a problem if you want to retreat from the enemy."

Chapter 1 Nineteen

After receiving the support of the prominent families in Hanoi, Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi, Bao Xin, the Minister of Jibei, and the Xuzhou army ordered their troops together, and together they headed towards Baibo Valley, where the Baibo bandit army was stationed, from Pau City.

In addition to the generals from the three headquarters, Huang Fusong, Tao Shang's art of war and marching teacher, also went out with the army.

When the march was about to reach the Baibo Valley, the potter asked Huangfusong for advice on the tactics of the crusade against the Baibo army. In addition to targeting the population resources of the Baibo army, the potter also wanted to use this battle to increase his experience and practical level.

The relationship between Huangfusong and Huangjin can be described as breaking bones and connecting tendons. Of course, this description does not mean that the two are very close, on the contrary, it should be incompatible.

Huangfusong was the nightmare of the Yellow Turban Army back then, and the uprising of the Yellow Turban Army also made Huangfusong a success.

Huangfusong told the potters that if nothing unexpected happens during this conquest of the Baibo army, the Baibo army will definitely resist defending the Baibo valley by relying on the danger, and will not confront the official army head-on.

The reason is simple. Although the Baibo army has a large number of people, they are not all elites, and there is no fixed governance system.

For Huangfusong's analysis, the potter gave a very high degree of affirmation and evaluation after careful consideration.

"Teacher." Tao Shang asked Huangfusong sincerely, "Since the Baibo Army has decided to stay in the Baibo Valley, what should I do to win this battle?"

Huangfusong was very satisfied with Tao Shangcheng's earnest attitude towards learning and appreciated it quite a lot.
