Some people say that human joy is always short-lived, but pain is indeed eternal.

When the disciples were secured in the field register and led to their own fields by the field officials below Duman, the disciples who were so happy at first buried themselves in the ground and cried for some reason.

They had so much sadness and grievances that they couldn't express themselves, they could only cry.

Maybe this is the meaning of crying to human beings.

At this time, Zhang Chong, Duman and the others were also cleaning up.

I stayed in Xuejiabi for more than a month. On the one hand, I practiced martial arts and on the other hand, I distributed food and land. I gained a lot.

Now Zhang Chong has an army that can initially fight against him, and he also has a group of field officials who have practiced common affairs.

Although they are not the best, they are all hopes for the future.

During this time of land division, Zhang Chong recruited twenty-three Jianfu tribe members. They all knew some weapons and easily integrated into the team.

This team was organized and trained by Zhang Chong to Li Damu, and he became another great leader under Zhang Chong.

Now Zhang Chong has ninety soldiers, which makes up a hundred-man team. With the addition of some of the field officials, transport teams, slaves, and craftsmen from the old camp, Zhang Chong can be considered to be in business.

It can be said that Xuejiabi is where Zhang Chong started his career.

But although Liangyuan is good, it is not a place to stay for a long time.

As their momentum in Xuejiabi grew bigger and bigger, some powerful Wubi nearby began to pay attention to this place. Recently, from time to time, you can see angry faces wandering around here.

Therefore, Zhang Chong decided to wait for his father and others to come back, and then go to Mount Tai, which was the place Zhang Chong selected to station troops.

The deep forests and dense forests of Mount Tai make it a natural hiding place for troops. Historically, Chi Mei hibernated in Mount Tai.

Moreover, in the past few decades, mountain people have continued to cause rebellion. Although they have been suppressed many times, those rebels are still living in Mount Tai. If these rebels can be united, the anti-Han forces can be strengthened.

But more importantly, Taishan is close to the hometown of Zhang Chong, a member of the team, and has local advantages there.

In the future, it will be very convenient to replenish personnel, supply materials, and supply intelligence, and even the morale of the military will be more stable. This is the advantage of stationing on the inside.

But all this has to wait for my little dad to bring the big beard.

As long as the team relies on the largest anti-Han force in the world, Zhang Chong and his small team can gain a world perspective and not be truly grass bandits.

But when will little daddy come back?

What is little daddy Zhang Bingnan doing at this time?

Believe it or not, he is now joining Taiping Dao.

By the way, that day Wang Zhang protected his little father and left Xuejiabi, walking all the way through the mountains and forests toward Licheng, Jinan.

Because they could no longer use talismans to conduct inspections, they could not take the main road and had to take long detours in the countryside.

After arriving in Yuncheng, my father found a friend who put them on a cargo ship bound for Gucheng.

But when Gucheng wanted to continue looking for a way to get on the boat, they were stopped by Gucheng's thieves.

When the thieves saw that they were unfamiliar, they had to check the talismans. When they were in a dilemma, a man came to rescue them.

The county official with a black ribbon and copper seal whispered a few words to the beggar, who bowed his head and said yes, and then went off to other places to get busy.

When my father took a look, he saw that this was the county official who had been in Gucheng earlier. He was quite aloof at that time, and his name was Wei.

The county official saw it and introduced with a smile:

"Wei Meng, I unexpectedly met my little dad here. Where is my little dad planning to go? Let me see if I can give you a ride."

This is really luck, whatever you want comes to you.

The little dad was happy, nodded and said:

"Wei Jun, we have something to do and want to take a boat back to Licheng. Do you think we can take him there?"

Wei Meng smiled meaningfully, then shook his head and said:

"I'm afraid that won't work. I'm going to Lu County in Jibei Kingdom for work this time. I can at best take you to Guangli. But after I get there, I can find another ship for you to see if you can go to Licheng."

The two fathers had nothing to be unhappy about, so they naturally followed Wei Meng on the boat happily.

In this way, my father and Wang Zhang took Wei Meng's official ship and embarked on their way home again.

After Wei Meng got on the boat, she didn't talk much with her father. She just asked her husband to prepare some millet and water for them and then left. Her father was also happy.

The next day they disembarked in the light.

Wei Meng told them that a ship from Licheng would be unloading here tomorrow. He had already greeted the Cao officials in Guangli and arranged for them to board the ship when the time came.

My father thanked me profusely, but I got a meaningful word from Wei Meng:

"Yesterday you helped me, and today I help you. Everything is a combination of causes and conditions."

The little dad couldn't figure it out, he just thought this person was really weird. But he didn't get in the way, and anyone who could help him was a good person.

In this way, after my father and Wei Meng and his party said goodbye, they and Wang Zhang were going to find a pavilion to rest so that they could go back by boat tomorrow.

Guangli is a small place, but it is the only way to Lu County, where Jibei State Government is located, so it is considered prosperous for business travel.

Dad and Wang Zhang were not official people, otherwise they could go to a nearby inn to rest, so they randomly found an abandoned pavilion and planned to spend the night.

But in the evening, Wang Zhang woke up his little dad.

The little dad was sleepy, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a group of men in linen clothes and hemp shoes surrounding them.

Seeing his little father looking at him in confusion, Wang Zhang blushed with shame.

He was also a retinue, so it stands to reason that no matter how fast he sleeps, he will not lose his vigilance and let others touch him.

However, I have been working so hard these past few days and haven't had any rest at all. As soon as my eyes hit the ground, my eyelids were locked shut.

"Did you all hear it?" The person who spoke was a man with a sinister expression.

The little dad was confused, "Ah? What? What did you hear? I've been sleeping for two days and don't know anything."

Seeing that the little dad didn't look like he was pretending, the man and his companions looked at each other. Seeing that everyone believed him, his expression softened.

He forced a smile and said sternly:

"Friends, have you ever heard of Taiping Road, which helps people in distress?"

Dad and Wang Zhang looked at each other and said sincerely, "I don't know."

In this way, Xiao Dad and Wang Zhang were pulled by the leader to promote the teachings of Taiping Dao, and inexplicably became members of Taiping Dao.

I forgot to mention something, but in the end they told my little dad that our leader was a disciple of the great virtuous master, Tang Zhou of Jinan.

After a simple initiation ceremony, Xiao Dad and Wang Zhang officially became members of Taiping Dao.

After that, the group took Xiaobao and Wang Zhang to a Wubao outside the city.

At this time, there were hundreds of people gathered in Wubao, old and young, and all kinds of people.

Wang Zhang felt that the situation was not right, so he muttered to his father to see if he could take the opportunity to run out.

The little dad nodded and waited to see what happened.

After the sinister man entered Wubao, he left the team and went to report the situation to a middle-aged man holding a three-section staff.

This gentleman's name is Shan Ming, he is a native of Guangli, and this Wubao belongs to him.

He was a disciple of Tang and Zhou Dynasty, and was sent back to his hometown four years ago to promote the teachings and develop Taiping Tao.

Not too many people like him from wealthy locals join Taiping Dao.

Just because people like them can't get high or low. If they want to move up, local positions are monopolized by powerful men. Let alone unrealistic things like promoting filial piety and integrity, even being a pavilion chief is very difficult.

Disaster.

In the past two hundred years of the Han Dynasty, people like them have no way to rise.

Some people say that there is no need to make progress. Isn’t it good to maintain the current life?

It can only be said that they are naive. For local tycoons like them, if they cannot gain power, then they will be the prey of the powerful. After all, they are much fatter than those wealthy people in Guizhou.

Therefore, in order to protect themselves, these small local tycoons joined Taiping Dao one after another and used the banner of Taiping Dao to deal with those powerful people.

The people Shan Ming summoned were all the believers he had snagged over the years.

There were his family, relatives, guests, disciples and some evil young rangers nearby.

They all joined Taiping Dao because of Shan Ming, so Shan Ming's words were much more useful than Nalaoshizi Taiping Dao.

A few days ago, Shan Ming received a letter from Jinan Dongpingling.

Shan Ming looked sad when he saw what the teacher said in the letter. Firstly, doing this would compromise his strength. Secondly, the matter was closely related and he was afraid that if something happened, he would not be able to handle it.

But the teacher's words in the letter were so conclusive that Shan Ming had no choice but to burn the letter and get on with it.

At this time, each of the people who had dispersed gathered with their own troops at Shan Ming's Wubao.

Shan Ming looked at the people present, shook the three-jointed staff, and said in a loud voice:

"I called you here today because someone dared to rob you of your followers.

So what is Dongjun’s self-divination? My teacher is a disciple of the Great Master, so what about his self-divination? It’s nothing.

Now he sent a man named Liang Zhongning to preach in Jibei Kingdom, but he didn't take me seriously at all.
