Chapter 50 The wind is full of mountains and rain
Tai Shici was very surprised to hear the news. After all, Sun Jian, the defeated general, was his idol. He took a breath of cold air and said to Yu Da, "Yu Da, in this way, won't the stable situation in Jiangdong be broken? In this way, it will have a profound impact on Qingzhou and Jingzhou..."
"Well, what Commander Taishi said is very true!" Yu Da's face was far-sighted, "Sun Jian, a civilian hero, died unexpectedly, and Jiang Dong will more or less fall into chaos. However, Sun Ce, Sun Yi and Sun Quan, the three sons of Sun Po, are also a tiger father and no dog son, especially the little bully Sun Ce, who is only 18 years old. He once killed a general with his arm on the battlefield and scared a general to death loudly... With such a successor, Jiang Dong will not fall into much chaos. In this way, Jiangdong is temporarily unable to get involved in Qingzhou, which gives Liu Wei, the pastor of Qingzhou, the opportunity to mobilize troops to fight against the Yellow Turban Army on the ground in Qingzhou. Hey, after a few years of calmness in Qingzhou, it will become a hot battlefield.
"Yu Da, how big is the victory between the Qingzhou officer and the yellow scarf army?" Tai Shici asked in a low voice.
"This one? Half-to-half!" Yu Da said while thinking, "The advantage of the officers and soldiers is strict discipline and excellent weapons and equipment, while the advantage of the Yellow Turban Army is that there are a large number of people and sufficient food and fodder. Although there are not many fierce generals, Guan Hai, the commander of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, is probably also a brave general in the innate realm at this time... And the Qingzhou officers and soldiers can still be at any time. He got the support of local warlords everywhere. According to rumors, Cao Cao from Bo County, Nongzhou, has gathered township soldiers to fight against the Yellow Turban Army in a few months! Cao Mengde is a character..."
Tai Shici knew what Cao Cao Yu said. Cao Cao, also known as Meng De, is also known as A Li. When he was young, he was an official, dared to enforce the law impartially, and dared to punish the powerful according to the law. Later, he was hit by the dignitaries, resigned and went home, built a house outside the city, and lived a life of idle clouds and wild cranes.
He also led the officers and soldiers to attack Dong Zhuo halfway, but he did not like the selfishness of his colleagues. He once echoed with Sun Jianyao to chase and defeat Dong Zhuo, but was defeated by the gathered Xiliang army at the Hu prison. Cao Cao and Sun Jian drank hatred and left. Sun Jian no longer asked the Central Plains and was determined to calm the chaos in Jiangdong, while Cao Cao lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests and no longer care about the world.
Now that Cao Cao has made a comeback, he must have something to rely on. What does he rely on?
Just as Taishi Ci and Yu were talking about sex, a messenger sent troops to report that Kong Rong, the governor of Bohai County, sent people to visit Tai Shici.
Yu Da and Tai Shici looked at each other in surprise. Without saying anything, they got up and left the camp and rode straight to the county.
Two military trucks came to the county, as well as two gentle and generous maids. The people from the county government caused a sensation in the county, and people gathered in the streets to watch the fun. When Taishi Ci and the officials of the county government handed over all the formalities, the officials of the county government left the county, and the people gradually dispersed.
The county official told Tai Shici that the county guard Kong Rong came to visit Tai Shici's mother in person, but the sudden military affairs were in place, and he couldn't get out for a while...
The enthusiastic attitude of the people is that Tai Shici, a popular figure in Donglai County at this time, did not enjoy it. When Tai Shici and Yu Da returned to the barracks again, they discussed the emotional reactions of the people.
With the insight of Tai Shici, he didn't know much about the enthusiastic reaction of the people, and Yu Da explained to him one by one: Tai Shi, even if Liu Yao, the pastor of Qingzhou, came to the county, the people may not be so enthusiastic. The reason is that Gong Rong, the county guard, is a descendant of Confucius, a literary saint. Confucius's thoughts have penetrated into the bone marrow of every people. In this way, for the people, it is a great blessing to see the descendants of saints... Ha ha. It is difficult to get the recognition of the people! This is also the fundamental reason for Dong Zhuo's failure, even if his methods are extremely fierce; this is also the reason for the sudden rise of Yuan Shao's alien army, because he is a noble background, a "four generations and three princes", the people recognize this... At this time, even if we do our best to occupy the county and even Bohai County, the people will not recognize us! Even if the leader of Taishi is dedicated to the people...
When Tai Shi Ci heard the words, he fell into meditation. After a while, he said leisurely, "Ha ha, no wonder Brother Feng Xiao didn't agree with me occupying the territory with military strength at the beginning. He only asked me to develop invisible and wait for the opportunity to defect to the wise hero at that time..."
"Ha ha, Guo Fengxiao's insight is really wise," Yu Da looked admiring, "It's easy to occupy the land, and it's difficult to occupy the hearts of the people... This is also the so-called 'easy to change the country', which has been true since ancient times!"
"Ha ha, but this also pays attention to the origin in disguise, right? Isn't Yuan Shao's kind too cheap?" Tai Shici said with a smile. The words are relaxed, but they are deeply unconvinced.
Yu Da smiled in the face of Tai Shici's unconvincedness. He thought to himself: There is absolute fairness in this world...
At noon, officers and soldiers from other regions passed through Donglai County. After resupplying supplies in the county, they left the county without saying much.
This kind of army assembly shows that Qingzhou is really going to start a big war. Before Yu Da and Tai Shici had digested the events of the past half a day, in the afternoon, they received a secret order from the state capital.
The secret order instructed the officers and soldiers of Donglai County to go deep into the Central Plains and buy grain and other military supplies at the junction of Yuzhou and Gozhou.
According to the secret order, Yu Da took out the map that had been collected for many years, and Tai Shici took out the handbook given to him by Guo Jia. With the combination of the two, they saw the wonderfulness of the junction of Yuzhou and Guzhou.
The junction of Yuzhou and Guzhou is the location of Yingchuan City, Guo Jia's hometown. All forces coexist in this area: there are the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army that occupy the deep forest and mountains, the abandoned troops of the warlords of all parties are stationed here, and the clan soldiers of the local clans are flourishing.
There are many counselors in Yingchuan City here, such as Guo Tu, Xun You, Ju Shu, Mao Jie and others. At this time, these counselors were under the account of Yuan Shao, the hegemon of the north.
Several forces do not invade each other and achieve a wonderful balance. This balance brings a peaceful paradise in troubled times to this area. There is plenty of food and grass here. Even in the distant Youzhou, people are sent here to buy food and grass.
The two of them don't need to talk too much. They also know that Qingzhou Prefecture and County really want to be serious about the Yellow Turban Army on the ground. When the army fights, food and fodder are extremely important, which often determines the victory or defeat of large-scale battles. Without enough food and fodder, how can ordinary soldiers have the strength to take up arms to fight? Without food and fodder, it is estimated that he was defeated by hunger before fighting against the enemy...
For the situation in Qingzhou, Taishici also has various preparations. Only they did not count the task of going out to buy grain at the cross-level of the state government. In the face of sudden changes, Taishi Ci led Yu Da and Yu Ba to Huanglong Valley overnight to discuss the response with the Yellow Turban Military Supervisor Jun Bo.
Huanglong Valley Huanglong Cave. Tai Shici, Yu Da, Yu Ba and Bo Cai sat around a white jade round table. Originally, according to the etiquette at that time, Yu Dayu Babo had to kneel down and sit at the table, and Tai Shici wanted to kneel down as chairman. As a leader, Tai Shici doesn't like such a ceremony. Therefore, at the strong request of Tai Shici, everyone accompanied Tai Shici to sit at the white jade round table.
In this way, Tai Shici and them have no sense of estrangement. Since then, everyone has a sense of equality.
