He paused and bowed to Liu Tao solemnly: "The lord is here, but if you have instructions in the future, my subordinates must do their best!"

Zhang Yan recognized the master in this place. To be honest, Liu Tao was a little surprised, but he felt that it was reasonable. He had been pretending to be a charlatan for so long, but it seemed that he had fooled him.

"You and I don't need to be so polite. In the next few years, I will be wronged that you will continue to be in the Taihang Mountains, and it may even last for more than ten years." Liu Tao stepped forward and helped him up.

"My lord just give me the order!" Chu Yan nodded.

"I need you, in the past ten years, to unite the hidden residents and bandits in the entire Taihang Mountains, and then become the largest and strongest thief in this area." Liu Tao said slowly.

The issue of hidden households is actually the biggest problem of the Han Dynasty. For example, in the Wuyue area, many people hid in the mountains and forests, and even fought against the court in the mountains and forests.

Although the court generally calls this kind of thief a "Shanyue", there are actually some gaps according to the actual situation.

Those who could not stand the exploitation of local gentry and had to escape into the mountains and forests may not be people from Wu and Yue, but also from Han people;

In addition, some people who originally lived in this area were descendants of the ancient Yue people, such as Peng Yue. They are said to be descendants of Peng Zu, who lived in the Wuyi Mountains for generations and opposed Sun Wu many times. The leaders of the Zongshuai include: Peng Qi and Peng Shi.

Strictly speaking, there are similar hidden households in Taihang Mountains and Qinling Mountains. As for Taihang Mountains, there are more than one million hidden households. Zhang Yan accepted the recruitment and became the General of the Central Army to defend the crisis, so he was appointed to manage these hidden households and could also recommend filial and honest people to the court.

It is equivalent to the mountain king recognized by the imperial court. Liu Tao wanted to incorporate millions of hidden households in Taihang Mountain for his own use. At critical moments, some of them could be migrated to live in the clouds.

"Here!" Chu Yan received the order, but he did not worry about this concept for more than ten years. The most important thing is that Liu Tao did not specifically send anyone to "assist" him, which means that he was almost in charge of the matter.

In the world, the focus is on Xinyi. Chu Yan recognizes the master, and it is a lifelong thing to say. One day he betrays, it means that he has lost Xinyi. In the world, without Xinyi, it means that he is finished.

If Liu Tao believes in his loyalty, he will naturally not let his loyalty down.

In fact, for Liu Tao, if you can subdue, you can subdue it. It can be used as a chess piece placed in Taihang Mountain. It doesn’t matter if you can’t subdue it. At most, it’s a little more trouble in the future. Of course, you won’t care too much about things that are not worth it.

Both sides left with different ideas, but when they were about to part, Liu Tao turned around and shouted: "The next time you meet you, you are already Zhang Yan, right?"

Chu Yan and Chu Yan are really not used to it.

"It's probably that..." Chu Yan was stunned, then nodded and replied, since then, the two really separated.

"Brother..." Back at his position, Lu Yan and others stepped forward with concern.

"It's okay, it's okay, let's continue to go!" Liu Tao looked around, "I'll talk about camping tonight."

At this moment, another horse came over in front of the formation, looked at Liu Tao and others, and shouted: "My leader told me to go on as I want to go. The entire mountain range, my leader has already greeted you, and no one will disturb you."

After saying that, he rode his horse and left without any intention of staying.

"Oh, I didn't expect that there was such an unexpected joy..." Liu Tao smiled to the left and right.
