Chapter 61 Never In Power

At the foot of the Taihang Mountains in the vast green field, a group of ten riders galloped on horseback. Most of the people riding horses were burly men with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, but the only one was thin but particularly tall and majestic.

Guo Jia stood upright with his chest, and behind him, Zhou Tai, Gan Ning and Xu Chu Dianwei lined up in one line, with a momentum enough to shock the heroes of the world.

The ten riders slowly slowed down and stopped when they arrived in front of Guo Jia.

The breeze passed by, his hair was raised lightly, and Guo Jia looked at the person on the ten horses without changing his face.

After ten people dismounted, four people in blue and white cloth walked up to Guo Jia and clasped their fists and said in turn:

"Zhang Baiqi has met the young grandfather."

"Zhang Yan has met the young grandfather."

"Sima has met Xiao Taigong."

"Xu He has met the young grandfather."

He looked at the four people in front of him with a faint expression, including three of whom Guo Jia had met in Yecheng. As for Zhang Yan, he was also a famous figure in the Black Mountain Army in the future.

After bowing back, Guo Jia asked, "What are you going to teach me when you are here?"

It’s not that Guo Jia is not polite, but that he really doesn’t understand what the purpose of these people come. What if they avenge Bo? Besides, the four of them are now leaders of the remnants of the Yellow Turbans. What if they come to recruit him again?

After the four of them looked at each other, their eyes turned to Xi Zhicai beside Guo Jia, Xu Chudianwei behind him, and Gan Ning Zhou Tai.

It seems to be expressing that there are idle people present and it is inconvenient to talk.

Guo Jia knew what they meant by looking at their expressions and said, "They are all my friends of life and death. I, Guo Jia, can give my life to them. Do you still need to avoid them when talking to you?"

This sentence is very obvious, Guo Jiaxin is just four people in front of him.

The four of them looked embarrassed, but soon they had a serious expression. Zhang Yan, who had a thin but tall figure, took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "I will not hide it from the little grandfather. My adoptive father Zhang Niujiao was seriously injured in the lower city of Luoyang. He passed away half a year later. Before his death, his adoptive father told him to complete the instructions of the great wise and good teachers, so he has been trying to contact other rebels over the years. A few days ago, he learned that the little wise and good teachers were hunted down by the imperial court. My Taiping Road found the little wise and good traces on Taihang Mountain. So today, I came to pay homage to the little wise and good teachers to fulfill the arrangements before the great wise and good teachers."

Zhang Baiqi, Sima Ju, Xu Heqi nodded and expressed his affirmation of Zhang Yan's remarks.

Although Guo Jia was shocked and suspicious, he didn't expect that Zhang Jiao would make arrangements afterwards, he still looked calm and asked, "Oh? Why did the great master ask you to come to me?"

Zhang Baiqi, Zhang Yan, Sima Ju, and Xu He knelt in front of Guo Jia on one knee. Zhang Yan lowered his head and said respectfully: "The great wise and good teachers told my adoptive father Zhang Niujiao and the three Qu generals before the action. If the great wise and good teachers return to heaven, the Taiping Dao will not be successful. We will come to serve the young Taigong, and all the soldiers under our command will be loyal to the young Taigong and let them go."

Hearing this, Gan Ning Zhou Tai and Xu Chu Dianwei were all shocked. Looking at the four people kneeling in front of Guo Jia, they were shocked.

What does a great wise teacher value Guo Jia so much?

Those who do not change their faces are Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia.

The two of them have far-sighted ideas and their thoughts are very superficial. Xi Zhicai probably guessed that these four people came to serve the situation today. It should be because they saw that Guo Jia was chased by the court and were obviously incompatible with the court, so they dared to come to serve the situation.

Guo Jia even sneered in his heart: I'm afraid the four of them knew that with their talents, they would sooner or later be defeated. Now they are at a desperate situation, and then they remembered the will of the great wise and good teacher.

"What kind of virtue do I, Guo Jia, do you four of you go."

Guo Jia waved his hand lightly, Gan Ning and others behind him were anxious. The situation was already very obvious now. If you want to do something, the remaining Yellow Turbans will be integrated, which is also a force that cannot be underestimated. But why did Guo Jia keep people from leaving thousands of miles away?

Zhang Baiqi and others did not expect that Guo Jia would not accept their submission, and they were unable to react. However, Zhang Yan clasped his fists and said, "Little Taigong, we are really committed to submission. Leave it to Xiao Taigong's orders. If you have any other intentions, it will be struck by lightning."

It is not enough to show loyalty by just speaking.

Guo Jia suddenly turned around and pulled out Zhou Tai's knife from his waist, and slid it over Zhang Yan's neck, and said lightly: "What if I kill you?"

Zhang Baiqi and the other three were shocked. The six confidants behind them even pulled out their blades, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

The big hand waved back to stop the impulse of the confidant behind him. Zhang Yan raised her head and looked up at Guo Jia. Her clean and gentle face was full of resolute expressions, and she said with a resolute look: "Little Taigong, a great wise and good teacher once said that if Taipingdao fails to perform righteousness, the only one who can save Taipingdao is the young Taigong. Now my Taipingdao children are displaced and hide in the mountains and forests, and are struggling. If the young Taigong is unwilling to lead Taipingdao out of the desperate situation today, my Taipingdao will definitely be destroyed in the future. If the young Taigong does not believe in Zhang Yan's loyalty and sincerity in serving, then please ask the young Taigong to kill me at this moment."

Guo Jia slowly turned his gaze to Zhang Baiqi and the other two who were standing beside him. Seeing that they were still kneeling there without any rashness, he whispered: "In Ye City that day, I had refused to recruit great wise men and good teachers, and I was rude. Don't you three hate me?"

Zhang Baiqi and the other two shook their heads with a wry smile. Zhang Baiqi bowed and said, "The little grandfather said that Taiping Dao would be defeated in the event. At that time, we were naturally angry. But later, when the imperial city was in battle, my Taiping Dao was defeated like a mountain, just as the little grandfather had expected. How could we resent besides admiring the little grandfather? The little grandfather refused to serve the great wise mentor on that day to protect himself. He spoke wildly in public because he did not want to see my Taiping Dao defeat. The little grandfather had worked hard, how could we ignore it?"

With a sigh to the sky, Guo Jia thought of Zhang Jiao again.

A great teacher, although you are not my Guo Jia's mentor in this life, your love for me makes it difficult for me to let go.

Removed the blade, Guo Jia turned around and handed the knife to Zhou Tai, and helped Zhang Yan, Zhang Baiqi, Xu He, and Sima Ju up with his own hands, and said to the four people with a serious expression: "Since you are here to serve, I, Guo Jia, are very grateful. I will do my best to let the children of Taipingdao go out of the mountains and forests and live and work in peace and contentment."

"Thank you, my grandfather!" The four of them thanked.

After the four of them stood up, Guo Jia asked, "How many soldiers are there now?"

Zhang Baiqi replied: "The Baibo army has a total of 200,000 military and civilians, and can train troops every day, 30,000."

Sima Ju continued: "The Pinghan Army had a total of 140,000 military and civilians, and could fight troops, 30,000."

Xu He also replied respectfully: "The Bailao Army has a total of 270,000 military and civilians, and can fight for 40,000 troops."

Zhang Yan, who spoke at the end, clasped his fists and said in a deep voice: "The Black Mountain Army has a total of 800,000 military and civilians, and can fight troops, 250,000."

Except for Guo Jia, the others, Xi Zhicai, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Xu Chu, and Dian Wei, all of them widened their eyes. Unexpectedly, these four people combined with more than 300,000 troops!

Guo Jia was not optimistic, the reason was very simple. First, these armies were very strange, and the military and civilians were united. Who had ever heard of the family bringing their families to fight? Not to mention the oxen and farm tools. It was heard that there were many people and many soldiers in front of them, and the relatives in the rear were dragged down by each other. Second, it was difficult for these armies to be self-sufficient. Not to mention weapons, armor and war horses, there were definitely no war horses. There were only a few weapons and armor, and they were definitely broken and old.

Such an army goes to the battlefield? Furthermore, the discipline of the Yellow Turban Army is difficult to guarantee, and its combat power must be removed by 30%.

After thinking about it carefully, Guo Jia was not optimistic about this army of more than 300,000.

After pondering, Guo Jia looked up at Zhang Yan and the other four and said, "I am about to go out for a long trip. As soon as one month or three months at the latest. You will come back first and complete the following things. First, from now on, the soldiers will not be covered with yellow turbans on their heads. The soldiers of Taiping Road are collectively called Taiping Army, and the bandit numbers of your four people will no longer be used. Second, Zhang Baiqi, Xu He, Sima Ju, you three will each draw more than 20 from the army, and 5,000 soldiers under the age of 30 will be handed over to Xu Chu, Dian Wei, and Zhou Tai. Zhang Yan will draw 30,000 from your troops, and Gan Ning, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun will each receive 10,000. Two months later, you will come here to see me again after you finish these things. At that time, I will make arrangements."

The four of them looked at each other and then held their fists to take the order. However, they did not know Gan Ning and Zhou Tai, and so Guo Jia called out Zhang Liaogaoshun, who was lying in the dark, and recommended each other. After getting to know each other, Zhang Yan and others bowed their hands, turned over and left.

Looking at Zhang Yan and others who were leaving, Gan Ning and Xu Chu were naturally happy. They had long been eager to lead troops to command the army. Now that the opportunity has come, they are naturally happy.

"Fengxiao, I don't seem happy to see you frowning." Xi Zhicai asked quietly.

Guo Jia nodded, turned around and looked at the six men of Ganning, Zhou Tai, Xu Chu Dianwei, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, and said with a serious expression: "Everyone, if the four of them really voted for me, they will divide their troops and be handed over to you in two months. However, I hope you are prepared. The Yellow Turban Army should be called the Taiping Army now. The Taiping Army may not be optimistic in combat, and there are no weapons and armor. Jia does not ask you to make these tens of thousands of soldiers elite soldiers, but I hope to save the elite. Xu Chu, I will give you five thousand people. If you can find five hundred elite soldiers for me, I will be satisfied. Everyone else, my request is the same. Always remember this sentence: Soldiers are more expensive, but more expensive!"

Everyone restrained their smiles and bowed to Guo Jia and said, "We must remember them in our hearts."

Next, Guo Jia began to prepare for his trip to Jizhou. This time he went to the Zhen family. He planned to bring Xu Chu and Dian Wei openly, and secretly Xiao Ren and Xiao Yi were the ones who were supporting him, Zhang Liao Gaoshun and Gan Ning Zhou Tai were left behind.

Before leaving, Cai Yan recruited him into the house. After Guo Jia went in, he picked her up and pressed her against the wall, and smiled against her soft body, "Wife, are you restless?"

Cai Yan raised a cold smile and stared at Guo Jia and said, "I just want to remind you that if the Zhen family let you down, you can't be lenient."

Guo Jia looked solemn, and he pinched her chin and sighed: "Do you want the Zhen family to let me down? Or do you want me to let me down?"

After slapped Guo Jia's frivolous hand, Cai Yan said lightly: "Put your villain's heart. I, Cai Yan, don't care about my reputation, let alone you are nothing now, competing for favor? Joke! Do you think I'm afraid of Miss Zhen's?"

He sighed and put her down, Guo Jia shrugged and said, "Wife, you should know that if one day I really achieve hegemony, you will never be my wife."

"Do you think I care?"

Guo Jia walked out of the wooden house and said it clearly. Cai Yan's wisdom understood the meaning of that sentence more than anyone else.
