Looking at the house slave who was crying and reporting the news in front of him, Pingzheng was stunned on the spot and was at a loss. He felt that he had been hit hard by this thunder today.
How could this happen? The Baibo thief has never touched the property of a prominent family in Hanoi. How could he be so uncharacteristic this time... Could it be that he made a mistake somewhere? Or he inadvertently offended them, but the Ping clan and the thief bandits have never done anything.
A positive interaction, let alone offending them!
Ping Zheng's face turned livid unconsciously, and his teeth chattered up and down, making a clicking sound.
Suddenly, Pingzheng suddenly reached out his hand, grabbed the slave by the collar, and pulled him towards him. His face, twisted due to loss of control, almost touched the slave's face.
"What's going on? What's going on!! Please tell me clearly which group of Baibo Army went to attack my horse farm?"
With tears in his eyes, the slave of the Ping family reported to Ping Zheng.
"The little one just... I just vaguely heard that the White Wave Army was shouting something, 'Zi Bo City'. Marshal Li's personal army, Chengdao, obeyed the order, and received the call from heaven to go to Chang'an to eliminate Dong Zhuo, depose the Han Emperor, and bring peace to the world.
To save the common people, build up the country, and do justice for heaven, every household should offer horses and baggage and follow the trend..."
Ping Zheng was shaking with anger and threw the slave away.
"This is simply nonsense! How dare you, the traitor Li Le, do this? I and you are incompatible with each other!"
Just when Pingzheng was getting angry, another house slave covered in dust was picked up.
"Master, it's not good! Our barn in the suburbs was robbed by the Baibo Army!"
Pingzheng's figure swayed on the spot, looking at this other slave who came back to report in surprise...
"The barn...was robbed?"
The slave kept nodding his head: "Yes...yes!"
"The Baibo Army is doing justice for heaven?"
The slave seemed quite surprised and had no idea how the master knew this.
"yes……"
Pingzheng's eyes suddenly turned black and he fainted.

At the end of the night, Bai Bo's army plundered all the people around Huai County and immediately withdrew.
Poor many ordinary people, they were attacked and harassed by the Bai Bo army out of thin air. There was no food left for the winter. There were mourners all over the fields. The cries and lamentations of the people in Hanoi almost shocked the whole place.
In a hidden valley in the southwest of Hanoi County, Han Hao stood on a high place and closed his eyes. He seemed to be able to feel the cries of the people who had been plundered by the Baibo army in his ears.
Han Hao had a determined and angry look on his face, and his fists were clenching with veins popping out.
"The Baibo thieves have done too much evil! Hao swears today that he will get rid of this evil and restore peace to the land of Sanhe!"
The pottery merchant came behind him. He felt the sorrow of Hanoi and the indignation of Han Hao, and sighed with emotion.
He reached out and patted Han Hao on the shoulder and said: "Han Zhengyi can bear with it for a while. Don't worry. Soon, the noble families will support us in sending troops to suppress the bandits. After we pacify Zibo City, good days will come for the people of Hanoi."
.”
Han Hao turned around fiercely and looked at the pottery merchant intently. His voice sounded quite excited: "Master Tao, I served as your guide last night and took you to rob the Ping family, the Sima family, the Zheng family, and the Li family in Hanoi.
There are three horse farms, seven warehouses, and eleven fields, and even the cattle, sheep, and livestock are not spared... It is the first time in my life that I have committed theft... and I have done it on such a large scale... I hope Mr. Tao can keep his promise.
, don’t betray me!”
The potter stared fearlessly into Han Hao's eyes, nodded solemnly and said: "Han Zheng, since I dragged you into the water, I will naturally find a way to push you back to the shore. Don't worry, I will naturally do what I promised you."
Do it! I will definitely suppress the Baibo Army... And you see, although we pretended to be the Baibo Army last night and hijacked the property of noble families, the pottery merchant ordered that no one be harmed. This was an expedient measure, not a military move for personal gain...
"
After hearing this, Han Hao's face gradually warmed up and calmed down again.
The pottery merchant pointed to the livestock and grains hijacked from the valley behind him and said: "These are the property of a prominent family. They were unwilling to use them to help the people, so the pottery merchant helped them get them! Now the time has not come, so we should pile them up in the valley and hide them."
, when the time comes, Han Zheng will bring people over to take these materials, either return them to the government office, distribute them to the people, or use them to quell the thieves and deal with the aftermath. Tao swore to God that he would never get involved in any of it."
When Han Hao heard this, he seemed a little embarrassed. He bowed his hands to the pottery merchant and apologized: "Master Tao, I'm sorry. I was just in a hurry and said something reckless... I offended you."
The potter smiled and shook his head, sighing from the bottom of his heart: "No matter where Tao goes, I will find a way to get a lot of the so-called grain, grass, cattle and sheep... Only people like Han Zeng can do this."
The talents are what Tao wants but cannot get."
Han Hao was shocked when he heard this and stared at the pottery merchant in surprise for a long time, as if he didn't expect that he would poach him so directly.
This is a naked seduction, both inside and outside the words.
After being stunned for a while, Han Hao came back to his senses and said with some embarrassment: "Master Tao said this, what do you want me to say... You can just say this to me alone, but..."
"Don't make any noise, right?" The pottery merchant sighed helplessly, "Does Mr. Han think I am such an unreliable person?"
Han Hao laughed dryly when he heard this, secretly thinking that you are the one.
"Han Zhizhang, we in Xuzhou lack righteous people like you who worry about the people. The meaning of Tao's words should be heard by Zhan Zhi."
Han Hao was silent for a while, sighed, shook his head and said: "The prince has shown me the kindness of appreciation and support. Hao cannot let him down... Mr. Tao, please forgive me."
While the two were talking, they saw Xu Chufei running towards the mountain. He cupped his hands to the pottery merchant and said, "My lord, the scout reported that Bao Xin is leading an army of thirty thousand under his command and is running in this direction at the moment.
Here we are, as someone expected, Bao Xin should be here for us!"
The potter raised his eyebrows and asked curiously: "So what if General Bao discovers us? We are allies with him, will he still send troops to kill us?"
Xu Chu smiled bitterly, pointed at the Baibo Army uniforms worn by the pottery merchant, and said: "Master, you forgot, our current identity is the Baibo Army under Li Le, and we spent the whole night on our behalf for heaven...
The pottery merchant was stunned when he heard this, and looked down at the Baibo Army uniform he was wearing.
Now that Bao Xin is rushing over to kill him, he seems to have nothing wrong with him.
After a while...
"Zhongkang, prepare a horse for me!"
Xu Chu heard this and asked hurriedly: "The eldest son wants to explain it to General Bao in person?"
"I'm dressed like this. I'm probably going to be shot into a sieve before I even get close to Bao Xin's place... I'm still trying to explain. Hurry up and greet everyone... the wind is blowing!"
Xu Chu was stunned when he heard this, then turned his head and shouted at the Xuzhou Cavalrymen who were pretending to be Baibo Army at the foot of the mountain.
"Brothers! The boss has given the order, the wind is blowing!"

A group of "White Wave Army" rushed eastward in panic, for no other reason than to avoid their allies...
The strange things in this world sometimes cannot be explained clearly in just one or two sentences. They are obviously very reasonable, but they have to be hidden from others and cannot be made public.
Just like this time, he pretended to be a Bai Bo army to harm Hanoi's noble families. Although the method was a bit underhanded, the pottery merchant felt that his starting point was good.
At least the cattle, livestock, grain, horses and grass he had hijacked from the noble families, after the matter was resolved, the potter sincerely wanted to give it to Han Hao, and let him deliver it to the people at the bottom of Hanoi who were the most persecuted on his behalf.
The potter felt that his actions were far from great, but at least he should be awarded the honorary title of "Rogue".
But not only was the title not fulfilled, what he got in exchange for robbing the rich and giving to the poor was that his own allies chased him and beat him up, but he couldn't admit the confrontation yet, so he could only hide and scurry around.
The pottery merchant felt that he was doing such a good deed that he was a fool.
After a group of cavalry withdrew from the valley where the noble family's supplies were hidden, they ran eastward for a short time before finding another path, rushing towards the Xuzhou Army's camp, and quickly evacuated.
Fortunately, this army was all cavalry, while Bao Xin's pursuers were on horseback and on foot. Otherwise, if Bao Xin had been defeated, the consequences would have been... not pleasant to see.
"Is Bao Xin still chasing you?" the pottery merchant asked Xu Chu, who was also running beside him in a panic, as he hurried on with his horse.
Xu Chu looked unhappy, obviously feeling more useless than ever before, and said in a naive voice: "It's not that I'm still chasing after him, although I'm falling further and further away... But the scout horse from behind just came to report, and Bao Xin's soldiers and horses were chasing after him.
The momentum of reluctance is like a hungry wolf seeing a flock of sheep...!"
Upon hearing this, Tao Shang sighed and shook his head: "Actually, it's understandable... Bao Xin is a loyal minister and loyal to the Han Dynasty. In his eyes, the remnants of the Yellow Turbans who have brought trouble to the world are great evildoers. Once they encounter him, they will never die."
There is no reason to let go, this is also human nature."
Xu Chu's expression was very complicated, and he gritted his teeth and said: "The problem is...we are fake!"
Hearing this, the pottery merchant showed a self-deprecating smile and said: "Maybe this is called cracking down on counterfeiting... Sometimes fakes are more expensive and more hateful than the real ones."
Xu Chu turned his head while beating the horse, and a cold light burst out from his eyes unknowingly.
"Sir, running like this is not an option. A certain family is willing to lead a team to go back and charge for a while to dampen their energy, so that they will not dare to pursue them anymore!"
The pottery merchant frowned and said sarcastically: "Wouldn't it be easiest for you to just kill Bao Xin?"
"Can I?"
"It's okay! Run away quickly and stop talking about useless things!"
