Chapter 41 When a robber is useless
Liu Yao, the pastor of Qingzhou, had a small banquet in three days and a big banquet in five days, inviting the rich clans on the ground of Qingzhou to eat and drink. In a very short time, Liu Yu's strategy has had an effect: Fan Neng, a big clan in Hengjiang County, volunteered to worship 4,000 soldiers to Liu Yu, and Zhang Ying, a big family in Dangli County, was even more proud. He worshipped 6,000 soldiers to Liu Yu. Other rich families are also generous, contributing to ethnic and township soldiers one after another.
In troubled times, in order to protect themselves, these rich clans have spent a lot of money to raise ethnic and township soldiers who are good at martial arts. With the support of the rich clan and the integration of Qingzhou's officers and soldiers, Liu Yu's ambition began to take action: try to eliminate the yellow scarf army and bandits on the ground of Qingzhou, return the world to the boundary of Qingzhou, the people live and work in peace and happily, and the state is rich and the country is strong...
The whole Qingzhou ground was almost boiling under Liu Yu's shouting. Unfortunately, Tai Shici's side was not optimistic about Liu Yu's series of measures.
The well-informed Bo Cai believes that what Liu Yu did is only to accelerate his own demise. The reason is that Liu Yu does not have his own strong direct forces. He relies on external forces to fight against the powerful yellow scarf army, which is tantamount to asking a tiger for skin and hitting stones with eggs.
Yu Da, who has experienced hundreds of battles, believes that a scribe is the commander-in-chief and does not know the strategy of "four or two strokes of a thousand jin". He only cares to show that he is a righteous party. If he can't make good use of others, Liu Yao will definitely fail in the future... The future of Qingzhou belongs to the strong.
Of course, they are also soberly aware that they may be able to control a county with their talents and abilities, but they can't control a state unless they have a reputation as a rebel. Qingzhou does not belong to their group. They can only indirectly control Qingzhou by cultivating dark forces, such as horse gangs, horse thieves, various industries, etc.
The reason for this is very simple: in a hierarchical society, Tai Shici did not have a noble background and did not make any difference in the early stage of the Yellow Turban Army's rebellion. For like Sun Jian in Jiangdong, he got enough military achievements, which is a shining political capital. It is enough to win the respect and support of the people.
At this time, the psychology of the people against the Yellow Turban Army is already unjust, because the displaced people and the Yellow Turban Army have no offenses, and they are also taken care of by the Yellow Turban Army...
This day, the wind is gentle and the sun is beautiful. On the official road leading to Youzhou, in a dense forest, Tai Shici led the ten riders of Yan Yun's eighteen horses, and a 400 soldiers, were resting.
During this period of being a thief and robber, Tai Shici was familiar with the surrounding terrain and got closer to his subordinates. At this time, Tai Shici was listening to Yu Ba and others tell the anecdotes of the world. Hearing the wonderful things, Tai Shici will show a heartfelt smile.
Suddenly, eleven people present with the cultivation of intermediate generals heard a weak and inaudible noise at the same time: a sound came from the grass a hundred meters away.
Tai Shici was alert to the dark whistle hiding on the big tree, and gave him a gesture to show that the person who came was his own. Tai Shici smiled and nodded to the ten Yan Yunqi present, saying that the environment was very safe and the person who came was his own.
A moment later, a martial artist wearing a black scarf in black tights rushed to Taishici, and the agile warrior said to Taishici on one knee: "Tai Shi Commander, according to the scouts, hundreds of people rushed here two miles ahead... Tai Shi Commander, this stream of people actually has a The escort of two hundred officers and soldiers!"
"Well, you can find out again!" Tai Shici listened to the report and ordered casually.
After the scout nod and left at the fastest speed. Tai Shici inspected the fierce generals under the command here and motioned them to express their opinions.
Yu Ba, who is good at wisdom, said while thinking, "Tai Shi Commander, according to my subordinates, this is a migrating stream of people, but it is also the first time I have seen a stream of people escorted by the regular army..."
Without waiting for Yu Ba to finish speaking, Yu Shisan, who was fierce and unobstructed, shouted, "Brother Taishi, Brother Bata, there are so many doorways. Judging from my superior wisdom, this group of people are prisoners... Oh, or they are craftsmen with special skills..."
Yu Shisan is one of the two women of Yanyun Eighteen Riders. She is Yu Da's cousin, and her husband Yan Fei is also one of Yanyun Eighteen Riders. As she spoke, she did not respect Tai Shici. Her husband Yan Fei looked at Tai Shici and Yu Ba nervously.
"Oh, Thirteenth Sister is right..." Yu Ba was not disgusted with Yu Shisan's interference. Instead, he said excitedly, "Tai Shi Commander, this group of people are definitely not prisoners, but craftsmen with unique skills..."
"A craftsman with unique skills?" Taishi Cijun's handsome face showed a trace of joy: Taishi Ci, a craftsman with unique skills, also needs it. Huanglong Valley, Misty Island has too many materials forging weapons and sewing armor, just waiting for the favor of senior blacksmiths and tailors.
"Yes, Taishi Commander, this group of people is judged by their subordinates: it is definitely all kinds of senior craftsmen invited by Youzhou from the Central Plains, because Youzhou, which is rich in resources, is short of this kind of talent..." Yu Ba said affirmatively.
Tai Shici looked at Yu Ba and said with a smile, "Brother, we also urgently need all kinds of high-end craftsmen... Ha ha, no wonder there are magpie barking when we go out today? Brothers and sisters, get ready to go and greet our distinguished guests!
With the order of Tai Shici, from ten Yan Yunqi to Sima to Qu Junhou to every soldier, they quickly stood in formation according to the organization, and then moved neatly to the second side of the official road, waiting for the arrival of distinguished guests.
The ground in Qingzhou is hilly and mountainous. The official road is winding between the hills and mountains. This group of nearly 500 people escorted by 200 officers slowly approached the mountain road where Tai Shici led his troops.
Unlike the previous migration, these migrants look natural, and their whispers are full of yearning and expectation. And the words and deeds of the officers and soldiers acting as guards also have great respect for these seemingly ordinary people. These situations are very special. This shows that these people are not ordinary people. Ha ha, of course, they are not nobles.
In the era of cold weapons, craftsmen such as blacksmiths and tailors were specially controlled and protected by the government. Their marriage can only be carried out in their peers, and they cannot marry ordinary people at will. The craftsmanship they are good at can only be transmitted within the family, otherwise it will be illegal. Such a rule can ensure the continuation of various processes and technologies from the system, and ensure that people cannot obtain official proprietary weapons and armor at will. Ensure social stability.
The leader of the army as a guard is not small. He is Sun Yuan, the cousin of Sun Zan, the herdsman of Youzhou, and a grandmother's uncle and brother. In fact, Gongsun Yuan is not dedicated to escorting this team of special talents. He is another identity envoy, representing Gongsun Zan as a guest envoy in Jingzhou.
