Suddenly, rumors of a recruitment plan secretly planned by the pottery merchant spread throughout the Baibo Valley. The lower-level sergeants in the valley communicated with each other and exchanged information with each other on weekdays. The so-called everyone talked about it, that's what it looked like.
All the soldiers at the bottom of the valley know it, not to mention the upper leadership.
When Guo Da learned the news, he couldn't help but flew into a rage. He immediately ordered his four deputies, as well as Baibo Army captain Du Bo, etc., to immediately collect and burn all the recruitment notices shot by the officers and soldiers into the valley, and issued an iron order.
Anyone who secretly hides letters shot into the valley by officers and soldiers or makes false remarks will be punished without mercy!
The pottery merchant once said that his strategy was a low-level strategy and a conspiracy... But you have to decide who to use it on.
With the right people, the enemy's erratic response methods may very well be the catalyst that catalyzes the decarbonization of this plan and turns it into an advanced strategy.
Guo Da's move seemed like a thunderous move on the surface, but in fact it was a stupid move.
The character of Chinese people is like this, they are always curious about everything... The more you try to ban rumors, the more likely they will be spread by low-level people through other means!
What's more, many thieves and bandits had an ambiguous attitude towards the recruitment of soldiers and soldiers, and were quite confused, thinking that the soldiers might be deceiving them... But as soon as Guo Da's violent behavior was revealed, the ordinary soldiers of the Baibo Army
A trace of doubt arose in my heart...
Marshal Guo acted like this...could it be because the content in the official-military letter was true?
As a result, Guo Da's ban not only failed to suppress the matter, but actually made the rumors spread more and more fiercely.
Guo Da really should learn from Lao Tzu's inaction remarks.

The main hall in Pau City.
Hu Cai, the fifth commander, walked into the hall carrying two bloody heads. He looked at the four unhappy-looking brothers sitting in the first room. He then threw the heads to the ground and said, "Brother! I found out something again today."
The two brats who arrogantly talked about the surrender of the army had their heads cut off and dedicated to the elder brother!"
Guo Da looked melancholy and sighed. He was not interested in the two heads that Hu Cai threw on the ground. He just waved his hand gently and asked Hu Cai to sit down, indicating that he already knew.
The third handsome man, Han Siam, looked at Hu Cai with a dead smile, and said helplessly: "Lao Wu, I entrusted you with the task of quelling the rumors in the valley. Didn't you just kill people by making excuses every day? Are you doing this every day?
There are more than a dozen people killed in one day, but the rumors are getting worse and worse. We have hundreds of thousands of people in Pau City, and there are not enough for you to kill. I guess you will have to wait until spring.
Is it on my head, brother?"
When Hu Cai heard this, his face suddenly turned red. He looked at Han Xian unconvincingly and said, "But, my mother can't do anything else besides killing people!"
Han Xian snorted and said slowly: "I've never seen how swiftly you kill someone."
When Hu Cai heard this, he couldn't help but flew into a rage. He stood up and shouted angrily: "Third brother! I provoked you. You are so noisy. Be careful I will chop you!"
Han Xian frowned and said grimly: "Everyone, if you have the ability, try it!"
When the two of them were at war with each other, they saw Guo Da slamming the table and shouting: "You two bastards, you will never die!"
The two of them turned around in a hurry and saw Guo Da was furious like a lion. They hurriedly leaned over and raised their hands: "Brother, calm down!"
Guo Da took a deep breath and slowly sat down on his knees again. He scratched the top of his head with his hands in annoyance and said: "I didn't expect that Wang Kuang and Bao Xin could be so hateful! They used such tricks to mess with me.
The military spirit is really shameless!"
He didn't know that this strategy was not the work of the two of them, nor did he react to it. The reason why the strategy was successful was not because of the mastery of the pottery merchant's strategy, but because of their reckless coping style.
After saying that, Guo Da seemed to be still angry and spat hard on the ground, gritting his teeth and said: "These two cunning thieves!!"
Hu Cai glanced at Guo Da cautiously and reminded him kindly: "Boss, you are actually the thief..."
Guo Da: “…………”
After a while.
"Brother." Yang Feng, the commander of Erqu, stood up and said to Guo Dayan in a hoarse voice: "The officers and soldiers have such a bad morale. If they continue to hold on, I am afraid that disaster will happen in the long run. In the current situation, I am afraid that if we hold on for a long time,
It is no longer feasible, and we need to fight one or two tough battles to stabilize the morale of the military."
"What do you mean, second brother?"
Yang Feng narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Hit the camp!"
Guo Da took a deep breath, shook his head and said: "Wang Kuang has the Taishan Army under his command, and Bao Xin is also a man who is accustomed to fighting. These two were assistant officers under He Jin's account back then. Neither of them was good at dealing with them. They attacked their camp secretly."
, I'm afraid the odds of winning are not high..."
Yang Feng stroked the woolen beard on his chin and said slowly: "Although Wang Kuang and Bao Xin are difficult to deal with, have you forgotten that with them, there is also a pottery merchant. It is said that this person is just a Xuzhou pottery merchant."
How difficult can it be to deal with a child who is only a weakling and has a big butt? We might as well rob his camp, we will definitely have a chance of winning!"
Guo Da seemed to be in high spirits after hearing this.
Bullying the weak and fearing the strong has always been Yang Feng's style... This is what Guo Da admires most about him.
He stood up suddenly and walked around the hall several times, thinking about it as he seemed to be weighing the pros and cons.
After a while.
"It works!" Guo Da hit his left palm hard with his right fist, slowly lowered his head and said: "I think it's much easier to deal with a mere arrogant than Bao Xin, Wang Kuang and others... Just follow what the second brother said.
...Hurry up and send someone to invite a divination master to divine the next divination! Choose an auspicious time and let’s steal this pottery merchant’s camp!”
Guo Da and others had a divination master in Zibo City. Whenever they were about to go into battle, they would send people to ask the divination master to ask the sky for them and choose a good time to send troops.
A real superstitious admirer and a crazy fan of great gods.

Guo Da and others asked the fortune telling master to arrange a time for a surprise attack on the Xuzhou military camp. At this moment, the pottery merchant was in Huangfu Song's tent, showing him a large flag that he had just made and embroidered.
"Han, Yushi Zhongcheng, Duxianghou, once led the left general, once served as the shepherd of Jizhou, and led the world's military marshal, Huangfu." Tao Shang read the words on the flag to Huangfu Song word by word, and then turned to
He smiled and asked, "Teacher, how do you feel?"
Huangfu Song's face turned red from suppressing it, not out of joy, but out of embarrassment... forget about everything else... how could he embroider "former" or any other official position on his flag?
"Not so good..." Huangfu Song murmured: "Now I only hold the official position of Yushi Zhongcheng. General Zuo and Jizhou Mu were the imperial conferees in the past and have been dismissed long ago... Why do they still write it on the flag?
?... And this 'Generalissimo of the World's Soldiers and Horses'... Who are you talking about? I seem to have never been this person, right?"
The pottery merchant smiled lightly and said softly: "Isn't this junior just trying to give you more momentum?"
Huangfu Song now regrets that he helped the pottery merchant explore ways to defeat the Baibo Army. He told the pottery merchant to disrupt the morale of the other army... The pottery merchant actually implemented the meaning of Huangfu Song's words.
It was revealed that Huangfu Song's old face had to be painted by the pottery merchant... but Huangfu Song couldn't refuse. Who could have allowed him to praise the pottery merchant's many tricks and let him use them casually?
The old man reaped the consequences today.
"To build a strong momentum, you can't just make it up." Huangfu Song sighed and shook his head: "Just write Huangfu Song, the Marquis of Handu County, that's enough."
Upon hearing this, Tao Shang asked doubtfully: "Teacher, are you sure you want to delete all these names? I am sure that these names are embroidered on the flag. Once they are placed in the formation of the two armies, the Baibo army will scare them to death."
Huangfu Song shook his head like a rattle and said slowly: "I can't say whether you're scared to death or not. I only know that once this flag is raised, I will be sickened to death... Good boy.
, it doesn’t matter if you use my name to fool people, but can you save some face for me? I still want to live for a few more years and choose a day to reunite with my relatives."
