    Although he did not participate in Guangzong's war, he had heard many rumors.  Zhang Jiao's great formation was broken by this person.  Claiming to be invincible in battle, Zhang Jiao's magic-casting ghost soldiers were all buried in a strange river due to this man's plan.

    Guo Dazeng was fortunate enough to see the ghost soldiers experimented by Zhang Jiao. These soldiers were not afraid of death or pain, and only saw killing and cruelty. At that time, just more than 20 ghost soldiers could defeat a team of 200 people.  [Search for the latest updates in Piaotian Literature.

    At that time, Guo Da heard that Guangzong was defeated and Zhang Jiao was dead. He couldn't believe the news for a while, and he was depressed for a long time.

    Later, the matter was settled, and news from various sources confirmed that Zhang Jiao was indeed dead.  Guo Dacai had to accept this fact, and Guo Dacai had to admit that the reason why Zhang Jiao lost so quickly and miserably was all because of one man, and this man was Wen Han, who was known as the champion.

    Since then, Wenhan's name has become a major worry for Guo Da.  Later, as Guo Dadi's power became more and more powerful, this worry was gradually suppressed by him.

    Even when the number of troops under Guo Da's command reached 80,000, he secretly thought that maybe he could surpass Zhang Jiao and defeat this man.  As long as this man is defeated, he will suddenly become extremely powerful in the hearts of the Yellow Turban remnants in other states and counties. At that time, as long as he raises his arms, he may have even greater power than when the Yellow Turban Sect was at its peak.

    Therefore, in the decisive battle with Wenhan's Hedong Army, it can be said that Guo Da had ambitions and selfishness.  However, Guo was defeated. Since his fight with Wenhan, he had never won a victory in this month.

    In the first decisive battle, he lost 6,000 troops.  Later, although they used tricks and deliberately lost dozens of games, they were all insignificant.  As long as he succeeds in today's long-planned battle, Wen Bufan will be stepped on by him from then on, and there will be no way for him to stand up.  Unexpectedly, he was tricked by Wen Bufan.  His calculations and strategies seemed to be like children's play in Wen Bufan's eyes.

    In today's battle, he was completely defeated. He lost nearly 20,000 troops in one defeat.  In fact, this is understandable, but when he led the exhausted army back to the earth fortress, he suddenly saw Wenhan's soldiers and horses attacking with murderous intent, and he thought that there would be such a huge damage.

    Wenhan's soldiers and horses are elite, with extraordinary combat power, and he is ready to ambush.  Of course he could defeat his exhausted and frightened army.

    Guo Da kept thinking about it, and the image of Wenhan's heart disease hidden in his heart kept getting bigger and bigger.  In fact, how did Guo Da know that although Wenhan discovered that he had a trick today, the real masterminds who later turned against him were Wenhan's fourth brothers, Xu Huang and Xu Gongming.

    But Guo Da didn¡¯t know that, so as the invincible image of Wen Han in his heart grew bigger and bigger, he became timid.  He began to want to escape from this problem.  And he is constantly looking for reasons for his timidity.

    "Although Wen Bufan's troops are not as large as mine. But in this month's battle, our Heavenly Army has already injured nearly 30,000 people. At this time, there are only more than 50,000 Heavenly Army people under my command. We cannot continue to damage it, otherwise we will  How can we continue the Huangtian Dao! Moreover, Wen Bufan has elite soldiers and horses, and he has powerful generals like Xu Gao, so I can't defeat him.

    ¡° Moreover, Wen Bufan only has two months left.  If he cannot wipe out my Baibo Heavenly Army within the remaining two months, then he will offer his head to the court.  So in the following time, Wen Bufan, this evil tiger, will definitely become more and more fierce, and in the end, he will even fight me to the death, no matter the cost.

    By then, even if I can win, the remaining troops will never exceed ten thousand people.  Huh, those wealthy people from Hedong originally wanted to use my Baibo Tianjun to eradicate Wen Bufan.  Only then will they support me unconditionally.  Although Wen Bufan has a blood feud with the Heavenly Army and us, he is not willing to kill him regardless of his great cause.

    I, Bai Bo Tianjun, seek the whole world, not just Wen Bufan.  Now I have hundreds of thousands of gold funded by wealthy people in Hedong, and plenty of food and grass.  Just retreat for the time being, find a place to stay, expand your power secretly, and when the time is right, you can pursue the great cause of world society.  That¡¯s what I should do most right now!

    Yes, that¡¯s right.  That's why.  A small impatience messes up a big plan.  This is my strategy of keeping a low profile.  First, I retreated and did not fight against the Hedong Army who was forced to fight me desperately.  Secretly reserve forces and wait for opportunities.  Those who can show compassion are the ones who achieve great things!  "

    The more Guo Da thought about it, the more his dim eyes became brighter. Suddenly he stood up and cast his eyes on the big map behind him.  When he saw Bingzhou Shangdang County, the light in his eyes suddenly lit up.

    "Shangdang Liangcheng! Now I am only focused on fighting Wen Bufan. I almost forgot that just a month ago, we gathered around Liangcheng. The old yellow turbans and robes were shining?'s request letter.

    In the letter, they said that they had secretly killed the county magistrate of Liangcheng and controlled the entire Liangcheng. They invited me to lead a large army to take control of Liangcheng, and then lead like-minded people from around Bingzhou to attack Taiyuan County and capture Bingzhou, plotting a major event.  "

    Guo Da was mumbling and pacing. After thinking hard for a while, he lowered his head and muttered to himself.

    "This can be done, this can be done! Now I have a large amount of gold, silver, grain and grass. After taking control of Liangcheng, the righteous soldiers around Bingzhou have taken my lead again. After recruiting them, I will use the gold and silver to  After expanding my power, conquering Taiyuan, and planning to annex the state, I will have enough capital to conquer the world. When the time comes, I don't believe that with the absolute strength of the army, he can defeat Yu.  I!

    "However, the matter is serious and Wen Bufan will not let me retreat easily.  It seems that some measurement is used in this.  "

    After Guo Da finished speaking, he fell silent and began to plan the next series of actions in his heart.

    The fighting against the rebellion in Hedong was fierce, and looking at the world, it was almost half a year since the Yellow Turban Rebellion ended.  Although the rebellion was suppressed, the prestige of the Han Dynasty suffered a serious blow. In the past six months, rebellions broke out all over the country. Although the Han Dynasty, which was prone to all kinds of diseases, intended to suppress it, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty sent newly appointed officials from Hedong, Hanoi, and  The six prefects, Chenliu, Runan, Nanyang, and Shangluo, were all trying their best to fight against the surrounding rebels.

    "But the Han Dynasty, which was already seriously ill, acted like it was just making a last ditch effort.  In addition to Guo Da in the Baibo Valley in the Xihe area, who had 80,000 troops and was confronting Wen Bufan, the governor of Hedong, wars were also breaking out in other places at the same time.  The Yellow Turban Army of Gepi in Runan County rose again and attacked the county.

    Immediately afterwards, the Yellow Turban Army rose up again in Qingzhou and Xuzhou to attack counties and counties.  Yuan Shu, the governor of Runan and one of the eight captains of Xiyuan, led an army to attack the Yellow Turbans in Gebei, which was the most powerful. The two sides fought in Gebei, and Yuan Shu's army was defeated.  Various Yellow Turban tribes rose up one after another. Although the momentum was not as strong as the first Yellow Turban Rebellion, it still caused a headache for the Han Dynasty.

    In order to suppress the rebellion, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty accepted Taichang Liu Yan's suggestion and changed some of the governors to state pastors, who were appointed by clan members or important ministers, giving them local military and political power in order to strengthen the strength of the local government and make it easier to control the local area.  , effectively annihilating the remaining Yellow Turbans.  Although this suggestion was strongly opposed by some loyal ministers in the court, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty actually accepted this suggestion with the instigation of the ten permanent servants and the remonstrance of Liu Yan and other royal family members.

    After Wenhan withdrew his troops and returned to Changling, shortly after he sat down, the faces of all the generals under the banquet were filled with excitement. Today's battle can be said to be a brilliant and beautiful victory.  Under Xu Huang's plan, nearly 20,000 Baibo thieves were killed. In this way, the Baibo thieves were seriously injured. It was impossible to wipe out the Baibo thieves in the remaining two months.  Generals such as Guan Yu, Xu Huang, Gao Shun, etc. were naturally happy that Wen Han could fulfill the emperor's order, save his life, and secure his position as the governor of Hedong.

    But not long after they were happy, they received news from the court.  When Wen Han heard that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty accepted Liu Yan's suggestion, he couldn't help but sigh deeply.

    Wenhan was familiar with history, and he knew that at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the era of melee between princes came.  And it was precisely because Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty decentralized power that he encouraged the local armies to build up their own strength. The heroes attacked each other and competed in the Central Plains. Even the majesty of the Eastern Han Emperor was as nothing in the hands of the warlords.

    Of course, many people in later generations said that the Yellow Turban Rebellion was the trigger for the fall of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the prelude to the Three Kingdoms era.  But Wen Han believed that although the Golden Civil Revolt had a great impact, if Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty had not delegated power so wantonly, the Han Dynasty might have been able to survive for a few more years.  The ambitions of some princes will not become huge in an instant.

    At the same time, there was another piece of news that made Wenhan's heart tighten and his expression changed drastically.

    Six months ago, Liangzhou was in chaos.  Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo conquered the Xianling Qiang, Huangzhong Yicong, and Jincheng natives Bian Zhang and Han Sui in the North. Later, Huangfu Song was dismissed from his official position for unknown reasons. The imperial army changed its commander before the battle, and Dong Zhuo was allowed to lead the army.  Dong Zhuo defeated Han Sui and Bian Zhang, and later attacked the Xian Ling Qiang, and Dong Zhuo was victorious.

    After that, Dong Zhuo gathered the crusade army and the imperial court repeatedly called for him. However, Dong Zhuo openly resisted the order twice, supported his own troops, and wantonly expanded his power in Liangzhou, becoming the most powerful prince for a while.  There is a trend of waiting for the world to change and gathering momentum to take action.

    "It seems that Dong Zhuo's ambition has been revealed. This Liangzhou beast is ready to devour the world. The road ahead will be difficult."

    Wenhan closed his eyes and cursed silently in his heart.

    At the same time, in a certain hall of Luoyang Palace.

    "Liu Hong's body can't survive much longer. Brothers, it seems we need to prepare as soon as possible."

    Zhang Rang was sitting at the head of the hall, his white-faced, beardless face showed no expression at all, and he said calmly.

    "Huh. I didn't expect Liu ??My health is so bad that I just took this medicine for two months and I can't stand it anymore.  It caught me off guard for a while.  Brother Zhang, don¡¯t worry.  I have sent a notice to Dong Zhuo. As soon as the opportunity comes, he will lead hundreds of thousands of Liangzhou troops, pass through Shangluo, and approach Luoyang to help us achieve our great cause.  "

    After Zhao Zhong snorted coldly, his face changed to a flattering one and he said to Zhang Rang.  Zhang Rang nodded slightly, his scheming eyes exuding a faint light.

    "Xia Mou is there on the other side of Shangluo. I feel relieved. Humph, Liu Hong never thought that one of the six barriers he prepared for Luoyang would include my men."

    "That's natural. How can a foolish king like Liu Hong be Brother Zhang's opponent? It's just that Brother Zhang, in order to help Dong Zhuo expand his power, we and our brothers gave him almost all the gold and silver we collected in most of our lives. He has these  Only with huge sums of money can we expand our power to the size it is today.

    "But this man is very ambitious, and my younger brother is afraid of him. At the critical moment, he will cross the river and tear down the bridge, unload the mill and kill the donkey."  "
