Chu Yan looked at Liu Tao and felt very complicated. The ambush result was not successful last year, especially the situation at that time was very strange.

Liu Tao led hundreds of people and asked him to surrender more than 2,000 people, which felt so funny. However, he saw something different in the other person's eyes, so he chose to surrender.

The two met in private, and the next moment was his most shocking moment. Everything was impacting his inherent understanding of the world.

Finally, I made a ridiculous bet with Liu Tao.

"Agoing the New Year, Zhang Niujiao from Boling sent someone to find me." Chu Yan said slowly, "Yi Yan raised an army in Boling next month and invited him to join."

"How could he want to invite you?" Liu Tao asked jokingly.

"I'm not hiding it to you. We two have actually met each other earlier. We have worked together for a while before. Taiping Cult raised an army, and he happened to be elsewhere and could not respond." Chu Yan replied.

He paused and continued, "Just when he returned to his hometown, he found that the local gentry did not do better to the people because of this incident. Instead, he became more and more powerful. He couldn't stand it and decided to raise an army in a month and invite me to join."

"What do you think? After all, whether to respond is the decision you should make." Liu Tao asked back.

"Can you really see the future?" Chu Yan was a little scared. The future was full of unknowns, which made people awe. But the future was known to others, which was fear on another level.

"Good peace of mind, I'm not a god. I just browsed the long river of time by chance and didn't see much." In front of Chu Yan, Liu Tao insisted on pretending to be a charlatan to the end.

"……………” Chu Yan felt a little difficult to let go when she heard this, but she still felt relieved. She took a deep breath and asked, "So, what should I do next?"

"Our bet has not been completed yet. It is up to you to decide what you do in the future." Liu Tao said with a smile.

"I plan to respond. If he really gets shot in the pottery and I can successfully take over his troops." Chu Yan replied.

"Then go!" Liu Tao nodded, "A big fuss will make everyone in the world know your name. But you have to think clearly that after the uprising, you will no longer be Chu Yan, but Zhang Yan."

"Notwo, since you want to rebel, you will inevitably become an enemy of the Han court. Changing your surname can also prevent the family from being affected." Chu Yan obviously had plans.

Bandits and thieves are two different concepts. The former can kill at most one person, while the latter can help the three tribes. In order to avoid involuntizing the tribe members, Chu Yan felt that changing the name and surname may also be a good choice.

"As long as you have no burden in your heart, that's fine..." Liu Tao couldn't say anything else when he saw this.

"If possible, I don't want him to die." Chu Yan hesitated for a moment, and finally expressed his thoughts.

"I can only tell you that when he attacks Yantao, he will be killed by arrows. When you and I know this future, there will be only two directions in the future. One is that he will be shot and killed in the end, even if you have worked hard; otherwise, it will change because of your efforts, and all this is not something I can control." Liu Tao was stunned and explained immediately.

"Since that's the case, I will try it no matter what the result is." Chu Yan felt a little relieved, "Of course, even if I give up on the bet, I will give up automatically."

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.
